Chapter 874: Coming to the Huo Family
The three major families in the Eastern Capital, although the head of the family may not have a bright brain, and there are not many far-sighted people in the clan, but in terms of size, it can indeed be regarded as a big family.
But now, the originally busy courtyard has become a change of color for everyone to talk about, the rich courtyard is strewn with countless corpses, the sky-high blood gas hovers over the courtyard, and the air is full of disgusting fishy smell.
Xu He led a dozen or so catchers, pinched his nose, and nervously probed into the Lin family's mansion among the three families, and when he stepped into it, the scenery of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood made a few of the slightly less experienced catchers turn around and retch.
Even those experienced errand officers, when they saw this hellish scene of Shura, their stomachs kept rolling.
The Eastern Capital has been quiet for too many years, and even a thief and thief in the past was considered a big case, and this time hundreds of people's families were slaughtered so far, how can they not be frightened.
"Split up and see if there's any clue."
Holding back the anger in his heart, Xu He commanded the people under his hand, and he also took the lead and searched in the direction of the main house.
In the main hall of the Lin family's front yard, Xu He unexpectedly found the corpse of the Lin family's family, and the other party's eyes were as big as copper bells before he died, which was full of horror and disbelief.
Xu He leaned over to check the other party's injuries, and was killed by an extremely domineering palm, not only him, but everyone else in the hall also died under this palm.
After taking a closer look, Xu He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, such a terrifying martial arts, I am afraid that this is not a master he can deal with, even if the one hundred and ten people of the Eastern Capital Yamen are caught together, they may not be the opponent of this fang.
"Damn it."
Secretly scolding, Xu He removed the annoyance in his eyes, he walked out of the hall, and several catchers came here.
"Xu Tou, there is no living mouth in the garden in the north, and thirty corpses have been found."
"Xu Tou, I found two maids in the courtyard to the west, but they were already frightened, and when I asked them, they were talking nonsense, and they seemed to be confused."
"Xu Tou, East Side"
A group of subordinates quickly told Xu He about the investigation of the entire mansion, he frowned, and after a long silence, he said: "Bring all the living people back to the yamen, take care of them, and when they calm down, we will ask again." β
"Understood." A crowd of catchers responded.
At this moment, another catcher from outside hurriedly came, and he came to Xu Hemian and said in a deep voice: "Xu Tou, the rest of the head catchers have already searched the Liu family and the Fang family, and the situation is not optimistic." β
"I see."
Xu He waved his hand, then nodded at the two fast catchers, and instructed them: "You two stay, stay outside and don't let unrelated people come in, and the rest of you, follow me to Huo's house." β
"Yes!" After everyone responded, the group went to Huo's house in a mighty way.
Xu He came to ask this time, not because he had any prejudice against the Huo family, the former force in the rivers and lakes, the three families suffered, and the Huo family was the obvious beneficiary, and he calculated logically that this matter may not have nothing to do with the other party.
But when he arrived at the door of Huo's house, Xu He was stopped.
The doorman Ah Qi said with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, please, the head of the family is dealing with important affairs at the moment, and he has no time to meet guests, please go back." β
"Bold!" Yiyu quickly stood up and scolded sharply: "We are ordered to investigate the case, and there is an edict from Lord Yin, what qualifications do you have from the Huo family to stop us!" β
The other catcher said sadly: "Didn't the Huo family think that the eastern capital is also a land of rivers and lakes, so you can do whatever you want?" Or, the head of the Huo family has a ghost in his heart and doesn't dare to come out to answer? β
The movement in the yamen was very great, and at this moment, outside the Huo family, there were already a lot of people who had done good things, and they were all stretching their necks to watch the excitement, and when they heard the words of catching a quick catch, the crowd immediately exclaimed.
"This official, please be cautious!" Ah Qi was a little annoyed, he defended: "There are many family affairs, and today's shameless sneak attack of the three families is precisely for the head of the family to come forward to deal with it. β
Ah Qi's stern refusal made Xu He's face sink a little, he could see that this doorman was not arrogant, and the meaning expressed by the other party was more like helplessness after consciously retreating.
This kind of high-minded attitude made Xu He almost immediately believe that this person didn't figure out at all that the Huo family was no longer what it used to be, and similarly, the eastern capital was not outside the northwest.
In the past, when the Huo family was in the northwest, such an attitude was inevitable, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, even if it was the local government, he might not dare to fight with the Sword Casting Villa.
But at this time and at that time, the eastern capital is an important town of the imperial court, and the prosperity is not lost to the two capitals, and the big case here is handled by Lord Yin himself, and he can't afford to bargain with the Huo family.
Xu He immediately showed the yamen token, and said solemnly: "Lord Yin has an order to find out the tragedy of Lin and Liu Fang's three families, and grant this head catcher the right to summon the people of the Eastern Capital, and the Huo family is also in the Eastern Capital, so this head catcher will tell you again, and immediately call Huo Yun to come out, otherwiseββ"
Before Xu He's words fell, the fast catch behind him was already unkind, and a clear and swaying light flashed, and most of the swords on everyone's waists were unsheathed.
Ah Qi was taken aback, although with his martial arts, except for the head-hunting Xu He in front of him, he didn't look at anyone else, but to draw his sword with the court officials, this was far from a simple matter of the strength of martial arts.
However, Ah Qi, as the doorman of the Huo family, is in contact with the people of the rivers and lakes, and in the face of this situation, the only solution he can think of is to hold on to the end, even if the horizontal sword is on the spot.
After all, in the logic of the rivers and lakes, the evil guest comes to the door, and compromise will only bring about intensified oppression, and the face must be earned by oneself, and it is impossible to ask for it in a low voice.
"The head of the family is entangled in affairs, please come back later." Ah Qi was still firm in the end.
"You" Xu He's eyes gradually cooled, his hand holding the saber clenched slightly, and everyone in the rear was murderous, and if he didn't agree, he wanted to draw his sword and fight.
At the critical juncture of saber rattling, Huo Yunqi finally appeared.
"Ah Qi retreat! Don't be rude to adults! β
Huo Yunqi's expression was a little nervous that couldn't be hidden, in fact, as early as when Xu He and his party came to the door, he heard the wind and never appeared, but he also had some unrealistic fantasies in his heart.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but unfortunately the Huo family lives up to the prosperity of the year, and similarly, the Dongdu Yamen is not a timid and fearful person.
Seeing that the contradiction was about to erupt, Huo Yunqi finally stopped tempting and immediately appeared to stop the confrontation.
"Huo Gongzi, I have admired my name for a long time." Xu He's hand holding the knife slowly let go, and the appearance of smiling without smiling made people look a little unapproachable.
"The subordinates are rude, I have neglected all the adults, please come inside." Huo Yunqi turned sideways to get out of the way, and his posture was lowered, but it was completely different from Ah Qi.
"Heh" Xu He glanced at Ah Qi, then at Huo Yunqi, and led people into the door.
