Chapter 183: Midnight Shadow

Although the girl of the beggar gang still didn't have a good impression of Zhang Yuan, for the sake of his ability to help the beggars in Moss Village, she still gave up her hand and said, "The beggar helped Xu Haoyuan thank the son."

Zhang Lu also climbed up the pole and said, "It turns out that the girl's name is Xu Haoyuan, what a good name, Xiaosheng Zhang Yuan, this is polite."

Zhang Zhen tried his best to pretend to be educated, and always felt that a cultured son and brother could be more favored by the girl's family.

But Xu Haoyuan is not that ordinary woman, don't look at her age, but she has also walked in the rivers and lakes for many years, what she dislikes the most is the kind of man who is full of benevolence and morality but has no power to restrain the chicken, and Zhang Yuan's expression looks like a prodigal disciple, Xu Haoyuan naturally will not give him a very good face.

I only heard Xu Haoyuan speak: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, there are beggars in Moss Village, there is really nothing good to entertain Childe, if Childe is fine, please go back."

Xu Haoyuan's tone was blunt, and he looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Zhang Hao pretended not to hear it, he looked at Xu Haoyuan's dress, the clothes were rough, no different from ordinary people's homes, but Xu Haoyuan himself was heroic and clean, and he felt very good in whatever he was wearing, Zhang Hao asked: "I heard that your beggar gang has clean clothes and dirty clothes, I see that Miss Xu is dressed cleanly, she must belong to the clean clothes faction, but I don't know if your clean clothes faction still recruits people?"

Xu Haoyuan was still frowning, but he still said patiently: "The beggar gang is all over the world, and it is naturally good for someone to be willing to join, but not everyone can enter the Pure Clothes Sect, I see that the son is dressed in expensive clothes, I don't know if the son's family is a businessman's family or a scholar's family?"

Zhang Zhen scratched his head, he still wanted to continue to pretend to be a scholar, but he didn't look like he was lying to Xu Haoyuan, so he could only shake his head.

Xu Haoyuan opened his mouth and asked again, "What does that son's family do?"

Zhang Lu could only answer truthfully: "I am a noble child, but Miss Xu, don't worry, I am not a gentleman, I have been studying in James Mansion all the year round, and my teacher is also Mr. Huang Zicheng, the first name of the Jinke Society."

Hearing this, Xu Haoyuan's face had a hint of coldness, "Xungui son? My father-in-law once warned me not to be friends with people in the court, the beggar gang also has gang rules, and does not recruit eunuchs, son, please go back, you don't have to come to this moss village in the future."

How can this work? Zhang Yan hurriedly said, "Don't, aren't all bad people, maybe what your father-in-law said is wrong."

Hearing this, Xu Haoyuan directly picked up a bamboo stick, and gently pulled his wrist in front of Zhang Yuan.

I saw a surge of internal energy rushing out, directly hitting the floor in front of Zhang Yuan, and the dust splashed for a while, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: This Xu Haoyuan looks young, but his internal cultivation is definitely not below him.

Xu Haoyuan also said coldly: "Gongzi Shenyan, if you disrespect my father-in-law again, I will not let it go! You are not welcome in Moss Village, please come back!"

Leaving two words to drive people away, Xu Haoyuan turned around and walked towards the depths of the courtyard. The dust dispersed, and the floor left traces about two inches deep, which also confirmed Zhang Lu's conjecture that Xu Haoyuan's internal force was unfathomable.

Zhang Zhen shook his head slightly, he has seen a lot of daughters of noble families, maybe it is a problem of feudal etiquette, he always feels that those girls lack some sunshine and honesty, of course, except for Han Qin.

….

So even if Zhang Zhen has seen a lot of beauties, but he can't talk about liking it in his heart, he saw Xu Haoyuan today, but he saw something different on her, just one glance, Zhang Zhen was moved.

Now that it's messed up, Zhang Lu asked himself if he was not the kind of dead-faced person like Liu Erbi, it was always better for the two of them to be happy together, since people showed obvious disgust, Zhang Lu could only leave silently.

The old beggar accepted a lot of affection, and now he can only shrug his shoulders and say that he can't help it.

……

Today's Jinling is cloudy, just like Zhang Lu's mood, even at night, the bright moon is still shrouded in dark clouds.

At midnight, almost everyone had gone to sleep, and as soon as the watchman walked with his front foot, there was a black shadow on his back foot that turned into Dingyuan Fang.

Dingyuan Fang is tight

Adjacent to Dinghuaimen, here away from several main streets of Jinling City, not prosperous, but also better in the location is not good, the house price is cheap, many ordinary people choose to settle here.

There are low houses around, and those who are slightly better off will build courtyard walls with bricks and stones, and those who are not well-off will find some branches and bamboo sticks to build fences.

The shadow looked left and right, and entered a house.

Seeing that someone had broken in, the dog raised by this family was also dutiful, and began to bark frantically with his nose wrinkled and showed his canine teeth.

The endless black shadow was broken by the barking of dogs, and the dogs barked when they barked, and the dogs of the surrounding people followed suit, and for a while, the dogs barked one after another, and the entire Dingyuanfang was soon buried by the barking of dogs.

Many people in Dingyuan Fang were disturbed by the sound of dog barking, no one knew what these dogs were howling in the middle of the night, some people plugged their ears and turned over and continued to sleep, some people scolded their mothers with a quilt to cover their heads and fell asleep, and some people were afraid that someone would be thieves at night, but in the face of the dark night, it was not easy to go out to check, and they could only sleep slowly with fear.

Until the next morning, many people were still scolding for not sleeping well yesterday, but when they opened the door, the first thing that came into their noses was not fresh air, but a pungent smell of blood.

Many people followed the smell of blood to search, and soon saw a dog hanging from the gate of the family.

I don't know how many times the dog was injured by a sharp weapon all over his body, and the blood all over his body seemed to be running out, and people gathered around the house to point and speculate how the dog died, and why didn't the owner care?

Finally, a neighbor who likes animals unravels the dog's carcass and prepares to go in to ask the dog's owner what has happened.

But when he went to push the door, he found that the door was not locked from the inside, but could be pushed open with a light push, and when the neighbor had just peeked into the house, he directly screamed and retreated.

The neighbors around him didn't know what he saw, and they all stepped forward to ask.

But he seemed to have seen some terrible scene, and he couldn't even speak.

The neighbors couldn't ask anything, so they simply went into the house one by one to take a look, but when they saw the inside of the house, none of them were much better.

It turned out that it was not only the dog who died in this family, but a total of seven members of the family of three generations all died.

….

This incident immediately alarmed Ying Tianfu, Ying Tianfu takes over many murder cases every year, but there are almost no people who dare to commit crimes in Jinling City, because of this, the government also attaches great importance to it, and directly sent the first head catcher Lin Ling over.

This Lin Ling heard that he worshiped the master in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and practiced a very good kung fu, and began to travel in the rivers and lakes at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and has been traveling in the rivers and lakes for ten years.

Because of his strong physique and extraordinary martial arts, he entered the government as a government officer, and Lin Ling lived up to expectations, and in only three years, he was called the first catcher of Ying Tianfu's household name.

Lin Ling rushed to the scene of the murder with a group of arresters, he collected the body of the family, and immediately rushed back to the mansion after investigating the scene.

Seeing Lin Ling coming back, Ying Tianfu Yin also asked directly, "How is it?"

Lin Ling has been working for the government for the past few years, and his unruly temperament has long been restrained, and he said to Yin Wanyu of Yingtianfu: "My lord, all seven members of the deceased's family were killed, and the murderer did not even let go of the infant baby."

Ying Tianfu Yin is equivalent to the mayor of the capital, and at the same time, he is also arrested for the trial of money and grain taxes, and if the case is not handled well, he will inevitably be attacked by those officials.

Over the years, Wan Yuzhi has been conscientious and does not dare to slack off, and at the same time, he does not fight for merit, which can be regarded as the image of a good man.

Wan Yuzhi nodded, and instructed Lin Ling, "Then this case will be solved as soon as possible."

Lin Ling didn't receive the order, but looked like he wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Wan Yuzhi opened his mouth and asked, "What? There are still any difficulties in this case, but Lin Zhutou said that it is okay."

Lin Ling could only speak, "I don't dare to deceive my lord, this case

I'm afraid our government can't handle it."

This can make Wan Yuzhi interested, Lin Ling still understands, in the past three years, many cases have been solved, many vicious people have been arrested by him, even if he encounters difficult cases in the past few years, Lin Ling has never said that he can't do such things.

"Oh? Tell me why?"

Lin Ling sighed and said, "My lord, there is no living left in the deceased's house, the murderer did not even let go of the dog, and hung the dog's body above the gate, as if he was afraid that others would not find out about the murder here, he humbly checked the wounds of the seven deceased, only there was a fatal wound on the neck, the murder weapon should be a sharp sword, the deceased was all killed by a sword, and the wound was flat, indicating that the murderer was extremely sophisticated with a sword, and the murderer had a stable mentality during the killing process, and regarded human life as a mustard, and he didn't even shake his hand. The people who can do this are by no means ordinary people, they should be Jianghu people, and they are Jianghu people who kill people like hemp."

It's not that there are no masters above the court, it's just that most of the masters have important things, and they generally don't participate in the process of arresting murderers.

Wan Yuzhi nodded, and asked again, "Maybe you can see how strong the murderer is?"

Lin Ling closed his eyes and thought about it, based on the sword marks left by the murderer, he could roughly deduce the strength of the murderer. After a while, Lin Ling opened his eyes, he shook his head towards Wan Yuzhi, and said, "Humble and incompetent, he is not the opponent of that murderer."

Wan Yuzhi couldn't help but gasp, in his eyes, Lin Ling's martial arts were superb, and they were already comparable to immortal methods, but Lin Ling thought that he was inferior, how strong would the murderer's martial arts be?

Night rivers and lakes.
