After the wind and clouds gathered, and after a thunderclap, a shower came unexpectedly.

The showers at the end of summer are a little less hot and dry, a little more cool, the rain is still majestic, the huge raindrops fall on the ground, splashing up half a foot high rain, last night was still very lively Zhongzhou City suddenly deserted, standing on a high place and looking at it, the whole city is shrouded in a white mist, the rapid raindrops hit the rows of roof black tiles, the sound is almost connected, and the falling raindrops converge into a trickle, rushing down, hanging out a clear water line under the eaves.

With such heavy rain, business could not be done, so there were no vendors walking through the streets and alleys, and there were no people from outside the city who entered the city early.

Located in the middle of the city slightly northwest, there is a rich atmosphere comparable to the princely mansion of the continuous house, this is the mansion of the Zhao family, the first big family in Zhongzhou, under this sudden shower, the whole mansion is quiet, the maids and servants have lightened their steps between walking, no one speaks, passing by, just looking at each other, as if afraid of alarming something. And in the sound of this rapid rain, there seemed to be a suppressed cry coming from the direction of the main hall.

At this time, the main hall of the Zhao family was already full of people, and unlike the atmosphere on weekdays, everyone was silent at this time. The old lady of the Zhao family, that is, the big master Zhao Wouji, who ranked first on the Zhongzhou list, was as heavy as water, and not far in front of him was a sandalwood wooden box, and there was a corpse lying in it, which was Zhao Zheng, the prefect of Zhongzhou, who was ranked tenth on the Zhongzhou list and died last night.

Zhao Zheng's wife was lying on the wooden box, crying softly, the voice was not loud, but it was particularly harsh in this main hall.

On the same day, Zhao Zheng was attacked and fell, and the soul lamp in the ancestral hall of the Zhao family was extinguished, and the Zhao family immediately noticed it, and immediately dispatched a large number of masters, but they didn't even find the shadow of the murderer, but only brought back the corpse.

The woman who died of her husband in the main hall lost the grace and grace of being the housewife on weekdays, and cried and cried: "Please ask the old lady to be the master of my family." ”

Zhao Wouji glanced at Zhao Zheng in the wooden box, and pondered for a long time, Fang said: "This matter is a bit strange, and let the old man think about it again, but since he dares to touch the people of my Zhao family, the old man will never give up, you go back to rest first." ”

The woman wiped the tears from her face, stood up, straightened her appearance, saluted Zao Wou-Ki, and turned to leave.

After inspecting Zhao Zheng's wounds, an old worshipper of the Zhao family's heavenly realm, his face was solemn, and the cultivator of the sneak attack was extremely high, and he was fierce and ruthless, and under one blow, he not only scattered Zhao Zheng's qi, but also destroyed his physical vitality and dispersed his soul. If there is an eight-grade golden pill, it may be saved. But even if he has the skill to return to heaven, Zhao Zheng must have lost all his cultivation, and he has since become an ordinary person. If the Zhao family wants to ask for an eight-grade golden pill, I am afraid that this great foundation will have to be eight out of ten, and the Taoist sect may not be willing to give alms, after all, this eight-grade golden pill can at least save a dying real person.

For a family like the Zhao family, the price is too great to think about it at all, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Zheng is already a corpse. Zhao Zheng's wife also figured this out, and only said that she was begging the eldest master for revenge, and never mentioned anything else.

Old Lady Zhao paused for the dragon head crutch in his hand, glanced at it for a week, looked at the old worshipper and said in a deep voice, "Brother Fang, what do you think?"

The old worshipper gently held his beard, shook his head and said, "This wound should be caused by the Sima family's soul-breaking claw, which hurts both the body and the soul." ”

Zhao Wuji closed his eyes and said slowly, "Are you sure it's the hand of the Sima family?"

The old man surnamed Zhou shook his head and said: "The old man thinks this matter is quite strange, when I first saw it, I thought it was the hand of the Sima family, but when the old man sensed it with the method of retrospection, he found some clues, and in Zhao Zheng's body, there were traces of the flow of clouds." ”

Zhao Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly, "Liuyun Decision, Brother Fang is sure that he is not mistaken?"

Fang Zhou said slowly: "When the Duanmu clan was stationed in Zhongzhou, the old man once fought with a master of the Duanmu family, and was seriously injured by him, and almost died in Huangquan, so he has a very deep memory of the Duanmu clan's methods, and he will never admit his mistake. ”

A brocade-clothed man stood up suddenly, wandered a few steps in the hall, and said, "It's actually the hand of the Duanmu clan?

Zhao Wuji shook his head lightly and said, "This time, we have no evidence, and there is also the matter of the Heavenly Demon Strange Stone, and the ancestor will not speak." ”

Another old man frowned and said, "Where is the magic stone that day?"

Fang Zhou shook his head and said, "It was taken away." ”

Zao Wou-Ki pondered for a moment and said, "This thing is not auspicious, but it has a bad omen, if you see it, you don't have to fight for it, you can destroy it directly." ”

After that, Zao Wou-Ki said, let's disperse first, and everyone in the hall will disperse.

At this moment, the brocade-clothed man who spoke before jumped out again and said angrily: "Old lady, the death of the second brother is just over?!"

Zhao Wouji, who was just about to move, slammed the cane in his hand, turned his back to the brocade-clothed man, and said calmly: "Naturally, I won't forget it." ”

The people who were about to disperse all stopped.

Zao Wou-Ki looked around and said solemnly: "But in the recent period, without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by family law. ”

After speaking, Zao Wou-Ki strode out of the main hall without looking back, the old servant who was waiting outside held up the big umbrella early, and the old man walked out of the verandah without stopping, and his figure gradually disappeared into the rain curtain.

At this time, the rain was pouring down, and the bluestone street almost turned into a small river.

There was a group of people walking on the "river".

"Let me go, or I'll let Daddy cramp and skin you!" said one girl.

Xiao Yu, who was walking in the front, glanced at the girl behind her, the girl was not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, she was banned at this time, she couldn't move, and then she was carried by Zhang Xiao in her hands, like a kitten who was held by the back of her neck.

Qu Cang, who was beside Zhang Xiao, held an umbrella for Xiao Yu, turning a deaf ear to the girl's threats.

Zhang Xiao bent her fingertips and flicked on the girl's forehead, and said with a smile: "The little girl has a lot of breath. ”

The girl said angrily: "My father is Sima Zhen, I am a member of the Sima family, if you are interested, let me run away quickly, maybe you can save a life!"

Xiao Yu snorted, with some expression on his face, turned his head and asked with interest: "Which family's daughter of my Dao family has such a big temper, it turned out to be the little girl of the Sima family." ”

The little girl is not a brainless person, since the other party knows that she is a member of the Sima family, and dares to talk like this, so most of them are not afraid of the Sima family, and they don't know what to say for a while, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, and screamed: "I don't care who you are, what kind of ability is it to bully a little girl!?"

Xiao Yu said lightly: "Little girl, when you came to provoke me, it was you who took the blame for falling into my hands." Later, I'm going to go to Sima's house, and I'll use you as Xiao's stepping stone. ”

The little girl sneered, "You dare to go to Sima's house even because of you?"

Xiao Yu smiled, took the little girl from Zhang Xiao's hand, her body moved slightly, and she had come to the front door of Sima's house in a few flashes.

The little girl in Xiao Yu's hand was surprised to find that behind that hateful guy there were countless secret guards wearing black ponchos, stepping on the rain pouring out from all directions, and the Sima family was naturally closed with the door closed, as if facing a great enemy.

The little girl's face turned pale, what the hell does this guy want to do!?

Xiao Yu raised the little girl in his hand.

The secret guards behind him and the Sima family, who were already facing a great enemy, all stopped moving, or looked at Xiao Yu nervously or suspiciously.

Xiao Yu's arm jerked forward.

The little girl in his hand flew out like a stone bullet thrown by a trebuchet.

The next moment, the gate of Sima's house was torn apart.

A woman snorted coldly from Sima's house.

"Can't die. ”

Xiao Yu chuckled lightly and stepped forward.
