Chapter 41: Bloody Murder on a Moonlit Night
There was nothing to do all the way, and after walking for eight or nine days, Ye Suiyun had already traveled to Yangzhou Mansion in Huainan, and it was already the middle of the night when he arrived. Yangzhou is not an important military town, although the city gate is closed, but the wall is low and no one patrols, it is naturally difficult for him. Ye Suiyun tiptoed in, dusted off the dust on his body, saw a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and thought that maybe he would be able to talk to Wei Qiwu soon, he couldn't help but be shocked and stepped up his pace. Based on the descriptions of Chen Zhong and Guo Qing in his mind that day, it was no surprise that he found the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce rudder in the southern boundary of Zicheng.
Ye Suiyun thought: "It's late at night, if I come forward to knock on the door, is it too abrupt, I'm afraid it's better to come during the day, but where can I stay overnight." While he was hesitating, a night wind blew, and the door creaked open.
Ye Suiyun looked around, very strange, why this door was not locked. He raised his hand to push open the door and walked in, but as soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood came to his face, and he almost vomited. When I looked at it, under the faint moonlight, I saw corpses all over the courtyard, and it was difficult to count how many corpses there were, and the blood on the ground was a few inches thick.
Even though Ye Suiyun has never been a timid person, the tragic scene in front of him like the Shura Slaughterhouse is too terrifying, and at this time, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night owl is crying, which only makes him so frightened that his legs are weak, and he freezes in place, not daring to move. Suddenly, he saw the corners of his clothes trembling in the shadow he had cast on the ground, and he knew that he must be trembling uncontrollably at this time.
Ye Suiyun's thought flashed: "Who did it after so many people died?" I wonder if Brother Wei is among them? Thinking of Wei Qiwu, this was a moment when the spirit eased up, slowly calmed down, and secretly thought: "Brother Wei must not be here, otherwise how can the murderer succeed." Even if the opponent's martial arts are strong, with Brother Wei's ability, he will definitely be able to escape. But who is so ruthless that he doesn't even let go of the old and weak women and children? ”
Just when his thoughts were uncertain, a child's cry suddenly came from the back hall of the courtyard, because in such an environment, this cry was particularly harsh and terrifying. Ye Suiyun was taken aback again, and immediately thought, "There are still people alive." Then he ran to the back hall. Suddenly, I heard a woman behind me shouting, "Ye Suiyun, stop." ”
Ye Suiyun turned his head violently, and looked through the moonlight, there was a woman standing not far behind him, with snowy skin and cherry lips, and her short silver hair was particularly eye-catching, and it turned out to be Wei Qiwu's disciple 'Jade-faced Flying Fox' Dai Shi.
Ye Suiyun said with joy in his heart: "Miss Daishi, it turned out to be you." What's going on here? Before Dai Shi could answer, the cry of the child in the back hall rang out again.
Ye Suiyun said eagerly: "I'll talk about it later, save people first, it seems that there are still children alive." Then he turned and ran into the hall. Dai Shi hurriedly said: "Wait, don't go." ”
Ye Suiyun was anxious at this time, and she didn't think about the tone in Dai Shi's words, she only thought that she was afraid, and ran and said, "Don't worry, there will be no danger, you wait for me." "After that, he went inside.
Along the way, seeing more than a dozen corpses around, Ye Suiyun calmed down and didn't look at it, just looking for the source of the cry, and sure enough, he saw an eight- or nine-year-old girl sitting on the wall of the back hall, with two pigtails on her head, crying, obviously frightened. Ye Suiyun hurriedly went over and squatted down and said, "Little sister, are you okay?" When the child saw Ye Suiyun, his eyes showed a very frightened expression, and he suddenly stopped crying, but just shrank into the corner, as if he wanted to desperately stay away from Ye Suiyun.
Ye Suiyun understood that this little girl must have seen the tragic slaughter scene, and was frightened and stimulated, and was naturally very scared when she saw the stranger, he said gently: "Little sister, don't be afraid, the bad guys are gone." But no matter what he said, the boy just kept rubbing against the corner, and seemed to be terribly afraid of him. At this moment, a noisy voice came from the direction of the gate, and it seemed that a large number of people had come at once, and they were pouring towards the back hall.
Ye Suiyun stood up and saw that with the flickering of the firelight, more than 20 people came to the back hall with torches in their hands, and a man in the lead was in his forties, with a strong figure, holding a single knife, and his jaws were sparsely stubble, looking quite capable, and more than 20 people behind him were wearing green clothes, all of whom were government officials. When this cadre came to the back hall, he suddenly saw Ye Suiyun standing there, and he was stunned. At this time, the child rushed over and shouted, "Uncle Xing, Uncle Xing." The leader hurriedly hugged the child and comforted: "Xiao Mo is not afraid. And this child named Xiao Mo just cried non-stop, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence clearly.
Ye Suiyun felt slightly strange, why was this little girl so afraid of herself, but she was not afraid of this newcomer, and then thought that the child called him 'Uncle Xing', thinking that he was an acquaintance, which was no wonder. While thinking about it, Ye Suiyun was about to bow his hand to say hello, but unexpectedly, the 'Uncle Xing' pointed a knife at him and asked, "Are you Ye Suiyun?" ”
Ye Suiyun was even more surprised: "How does he know who I am?" Nodding back: "It's down, I don't know what this adult is called?" ”
Before the other party could answer, the official next to him said: "The thief is bold, this is the famous Seven Provinces Patrol Illegal Arrest, and the thief is not tied up?" ”
The other party's exit was not good, and Ye Suiyun was not angry, but he felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, and said with a smile: "Why do I have to tie my hands, I don't know what royal law I have committed?" I thought in my heart: "What kind of illegal action is this patrol of the seven provinces, I think he is a capable person, and it seems that he came specifically for the tragedy here."
At this time, there were many footsteps outside the gate, and a group of people walked in quickly, listening to the movement of walking, light and neat, and they were all equipped with martial arts. Ye Suiyun was strange, and secretly wondered: "Why did so many people come with me as soon as I came?" "I heard someone's 'pout', thinking it was because I was surprised to see so many dead people in the courtyard.
When the second group of people walked to the back hall, everyone saw that there were seven young women, each carrying double swords, heroic posture, which made people feel refreshed. Ye Suiyun suddenly found out that one of them was Xiao Ning'er, and he was overjoyed, and couldn't help shouting, "Miss Xiao, hello." And Xiao Ning'er, who had just entered here, was also stunned when she saw Ye Suiyun. The leading woman turned around and said, "Ning'er, do you know him?" ”
Xiao Ning'er replied: "Yes, Senior Sister Bai, his name is Ye Suiyun. "This woman's name is Bai Yiyi, and she is Xiao Ning'er's senior sister. Ye Suiyun secretly praised: "It turned out to be a disciple of Qixiufang, worthy of being a big faction in the rivers and lakes, except for Xiao Ning'er, the rest of the disciples are also heroic, and they don't let them have eyebrows." ”
Bai Yiyi didn't pay attention to it anymore, and turned his head to the lawless and said: "Go to catch the head, my Qixiu disciple was ordered to come as soon as he received the news, but I didn't expect it to be too late." As he spoke, he frowned and looked around at the dead bodies all over the ground.
Xing Wufa nodded and said, "There is Lao Bai Woman, we are also a step late, and we have not been able to prevent the tragedy from happening." The deep feeling was overflowing, and he paused and said, "But fortunately, the murderer has been found." ”
Bai Yiyi glared angrily: "Really? Who is this thief? Where is it now? The other female disciples beside her couldn't help but shout: "Such a villain must be broken into thousands of pieces before he can solve his hatred." ”
Ye Suiyun secretly thought: "This line of head hunting is really powerful, and the case has been solved, no wonder it is patrolling the seven provinces." "Although he doesn't understand the difference between the 'seven provinces' and one province, I guess it's the jurisdiction. At this time, he was also anxious to know what the murderer looked like, so ferocious. After waiting for it, he saw that Xing was pointing the steel knife in his hand at him, and said, "This Ye Suiyun is the murderer." ”
When Ye Suiyun heard this, he only felt that his head was 'buzzing', and he almost fainted, he pointed to the corpses all over the ground, and stammered: "I... Not me.. You say I ... How can it be..... In this case, when the murderer is identified, anyone will be in a hurry to defend himself, not to mention that Ye Suiyun is a fledgling person, with a simple mind, it is impossible to calm down, and he is in a hurry, so he is unscrupulous, and it is difficult to form words. A female disciple raised her eyebrows and said fiercely: "It's not you, why are you so flustered, it doesn't mean that you are a thief." ”
Xiao Ning'er hurriedly said: "Go head hunting, is there any misunderstanding?" I think there must be a mistake. ”
Bai Yiyi and several other disciples all glared at Xiao Ning'er, obviously blaming her for still speaking for the murderer. Xiao Ning'er pretended to be ignorant and looked at the lawlessness. She didn't care what others thought, anyway, she would never believe that Ye Suiyun would do such a thing.
Ye Suiyun heard Xiao Ning'er's question, and gradually calmed down, and secretly thought: "There must be some misunderstanding in the middle, besides, the thing was not done by me, why be afraid, I will always find out." Then I thought that before these people came, weren't there still Dai Shi. At first glance, looking around, where is the shadow of Dai Shi? I don't know when she left. Recalling the scene just now, Ye Suiyun suddenly felt that Dai Shi's behavior was quite strange, and he had to don't save that child, could it be that the murder here was related to her? Ye Suiyun is indeed extraordinary, when he thought of this, he thought about it calmly, and the panic of the right talent also disappeared.
"As soon as we arrived here, we saw that he was the only one in the entire back hall, and he was about to harm the only surviving Xiao Mo. He pointed to the sobbing child.
Ye Suiyun knew that he couldn't tell if he couldn't tell the difference, and asked: "Go to catch the head, how can I say that I am the murderer based on this alone?" I've just come here, but I'm just one step ahead of you, it's impossible to kill all the people in the house in such a short time, just now I just wanted to help this child, not to do harm. ”
Xing Gang sneered: "Saying that you are a murderer is naturally not based on this alone, do you think I called your name at the first meeting?" That's because someone just came to the state government to report the case, saying that you, Ye Suiyun, broke into here and tried to rape the second miss of the Cui family, but who knew that you were discovered, you, a beast with a human face and a beast's heart, actually killed everyone in the Cui family. If we are one step late, even Cui Xiaomo will not be spared from your poisonous hands. "At the end of the day, the lawlessness is already violent. At the same time, I heard a few sounds of 'Cang Chang Chang', and many female disciples of Qixiu on the side couldn't bear it anymore, drew their swords in their hands, and just waited for Bai Yiyi, who was in the lead, to give an order, and pierced the murderous demon ten thousand swords. Xiao Ning'er looked stunned and stared at Ye Suiyun, her eyes showing disbelief and disappointment, because she thought about why Ye Suiyun was here when someone went to report the crime, how could people believe that he was innocent.
Ye Suiyun's heart was flustered, his thoughts fluctuated, and he listened to the illegal words, but he felt that his whole body was cold and weak, and he couldn't argue. I couldn't figure out how it could be so coincidental, when I first arrived here, everything happened as if it had been arranged in advance, and the timing was so tightly arranged. If you don't know the whole process in your heart, I'm afraid you will have to believe that you are a murderer. His head was as big as a fight at this time, and he wanted to continue to defend himself, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.
Listening to the lawlessness, he said: "If you didn't do it, and others wanted to wronged you, why were you the only one here at this time?" Without waiting for Ye Suiyun to answer, Bai Yiyi shouted: "Senior sisters, take down this villain!" After speaking, he also drew his sword in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a sword flower stabbed at Ye Suiyun. The disciples next to him were already waiting impatiently, and the white light flashed, and they all swords and snakes attacked. Only Xiao Ning'er was still standing still, hesitating.
Ye Suiyun hurriedly shouted: "Wait, listen to me... But where did anyone pay attention to him, seeing that the sword light around him was flourishing, Ye Suiyun had no choice but to retreat frequently. He had no intention of being hostile, so he only defended and did not attack. The women also said that his skills stopped here, so they didn't take the defensive position, and saw the sword light dancing wildly, and in an instant, Ye Suiyun was full of Qixiu disciples before and after, and he thought anxiously: "Sure enough, they are all well-trained, so surrounded, I can't run." Listening to the sound of the swishing wind around him, Ye Suiyun could only unfold his body, interspersed in the intertwined sword net, and every danger arose. Ye Suiyun's body method and light skills have not been practiced well, and they are all slowly figured out by himself with his profound internal strength. In the face of the chaotic attack in front of him, he was almost stabbed several times by a sword handed over from an unknown direction, and he was sweating profusely after only a while.
After fighting for a while, Ye Suiyun thought to himself that he would finish playing sooner or later. But I couldn't find a chance to break through for a while, so I only blamed myself for not running away at the beginning, but now I can't get it if I want to. At this time, he found that one of the many sword lights stabbing at him was very slow, and it showed flaws from time to time, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Xiao Ning'er.
Ye Suiyun was grateful in his heart, this was Xiao Ning'er giving herself a chance to escape, and she could easily break through the sword net. But after thinking about it, everyone saw that the two of them knew each other just now, and if they broke through from her position, it would inevitably make others suspect that she deliberately let herself escape, and then wouldn't it be a burden to her friends. Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun suddenly became arrogant in his heart: "You stinky girls, do you really think that I can't beat you?" I just broke the formation from the strongest point. ”
Suddenly, his heart moved at will, he suddenly fixed his body, stretched his arms forward, and met the two swords stabbed in front of him, his hands were divided, and the two middle fingers flicked on the tip of the sword, and the timing and angle were extremely accurate, making the two female disciples unavoidable, as if the sword was sent to him. These two fingers popped out, Ye Suiyun secretly carried the true qi of the autumn rain, where could the two people on the opposite side still hold the blade, they both felt a numbness in their palms, 'clang, clang', and the two long swords fell to the ground.
A gap appeared in front of Ye Suiyun, and he didn't stop at his feet, and ran forward two steps quickly, because there were four long swords behind him at this time, pointing tightly at his vest. Ye Suiyun jumped up, his body still moved forward, he turned over in the air and turned half a circle, and his right hand followed and swung out, it was the fifth type of the dragon palm 'Dragon Pan Siye', but this time it was not with a palm, but with a finger, each time it was bounced on the tip of a sword, only listening to the four blows, and four long swords landed, including Xiao Ning'er's weapons. Ye Suiyun thought thoroughly, and she had to do enough to act, if she didn't knock out her sword, it would be very abrupt.
The six female disciples all had soreness in their arms and couldn't lift them, froze in place, looking at Ye Suiyun. At this time, only Bai Yiyi was left with a sword in her hand, so she listened to her coquettish shout, and her body jumped into the air and stabbed straight down, which was a move in the Qixiu Peerless Ape Gong Sword Technique, 'Heaven and Earth are low'. Ye Suiyun once learned this trick in the Bai family compound in Tiandu Town, and it was Xiao Ning'er who used it at that time, and at this time, Bai Yiyi's aura should not be underestimated. Ye Suiyun did not avoid it, waited for the situation, and when the sword wind reached his body, his left hand stretched out, and the palm of his hand drew the sword blade, Bai Yiyi was shocked to realize that it was difficult for his sword to penetrate for another half a minute, as if it was wrapped in cotton. Ye Suiyun's right hand was quickly swung out incoherently, and there was another clang, and Bai Yiyi's sword also flew out. Then the audience was silent, except for Xiao Ning'er, no one thought that this thief would have such an amazing artistic career, no wonder he dared to kill people so arrogantly.
But what Ye Suiyun was happy in his heart was not that he had won the battle against the seven disciples, but that his newly created set of 'Little Dragon Descending Hands' was so good. Originally from the empty fog peak and Xie Yunliu after a big battle, and this senior to teach enlightenment, Ye Suiyun felt that the palm of the dragon palm was too open, on the way to Yangzhou, when he had nothing to do, he pondered carefully, in the original concept of the palm, the routine was slightly changed, shortened and narrowed, to refer to the hand, created a set of small combat techniques, specifically used to deal with the enemy in close combat, because it originated from the dragon palm, so he named himself 'small dragon hand'. Today, Fang Yi used it, and he couldn't say how good it was.
Happy to happy, Ye Suiyun thought to himself: "If you don't leave at this time, what are you waiting for?" Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was stunned, he was in a low shape, and rushed straight to the door, but the white light in front of him flickered, and a knife came horizontally, Ye Suiyun was about to jump up and avoid it, but he saw that the top of his head was also flashing with a knife, and when he wanted to turn back and avoid, he was shocked to find another knife coming from the next three roads, and he had to retreat a few steps, and was forced to retreat. Ye Suiyun was surprised in his heart: "This person's sword skills are exquisite, just one move just now, blocked my upper, middle and lower three roads, what a powerful master." ”
The lawlessness is calm, not arrogant or impatient, and he stares at Ye Suiyun tightly. He also knew that this murderer was an unfathomable master, and if he was careless, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Ye Suiyun was as anxious as fire, the opportunity was fleeting, and when Qixiu's group of girls stabilized their positions, it would be really difficult for them to get out, but they blocked the door like a door god, and they couldn't pass for a while. He swept his eyes and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, is it only through the gate that he can get out?
Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun suddenly pointed to the roof and shouted: "The murderer is on it, you come down for me!" "Sometimes the more stupid the approach, the more effective it may be for a special situation. At this time, everyone's spirit was extremely tense, looking at the corpses all over the ground, there was such a powerful demon standing in front of him, who could think calmly. Therefore, Ye Suiyun's shout, including the lawlessness, everyone unconsciously looked in the direction of his finger. It's just that the roof is empty, and where is there anyone, only a round of crescent moon quietly exudes a white halo.
It's not good to be lawless, and when you look at the courtyard again, where is Ye Suiyun's shadow. only yelled at the lawless wow, and scolded him wildly.
Xiao Ning'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then realized that she was out of shape, and hurriedly stopped her face again. Bai Yiyi also felt very embarrassed. But whether he admits it or not, this killer is gone, and everyone is relieved, at least he didn't kill the rest of the people here.
