Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 65 Thirty-seven taels and fifty-three texts
Lin Erdan has been planning to marry a delicate little daughter-in-law since she was a teenager, she has to be the kind of woman who is completely different from the proprietress who adopted her, sensible, virtuous, delicate, and most importantly, she knows how to cherish herself, and it would be better if she could like it at a glance.
He and Sun Xiaohong met more than three years ago, when the Fulin Building had just opened in Qingyu City, he was kicked out by the ruthless proprietress to invite the neighbors to the Fulin Building for free guests, and found under a big willow tree that was smashed by a few little cubs with stones and cried Sun Xiaohong, who boasted that he would be a generation of heroes in the future, how could Lin Erdan, who boasted that he would be a generation of heroes in the future, watch such an unfair thing happen in front of him?
At that time, how did he know that a little yellow-haired girl would slowly grow into a look that he liked? The two grew up silently, and it wasn't until Sun Xiaohong was fourteen years old that Lin Erdan knew that the little daughter-in-law who would hurt her in the future was her.
So Lin Erdan tried his best to save money, because he heard that he would need a lot of silver to start a family, he didn't know how much was enough, but he had already saved some, and the business of the restaurant was getting better and better, maybe he would be able to marry Xiaohong back as a daughter-in-law in another year or two.
"I'll give you all the thirty-seven taels and fifty-three wen I saved, you help me avenge it, and I won't take a penny for working in the restaurant in the future. Lin Erdan knelt in front of Hua Yun, and his usual cleverness was gone, but he just lowered his head and remained motionless, without any anger in his body.
Hua Yun looked at Lin Erdan, who looked like a different person in front of her, and was also very distressed, this Lin Erdan was adopted by herself since she was a child, and she has always been a hip-hop and incomparable character, how could she be so lifeless? Then look at Sun Xiaohong who was put aside on the ground, the white cloth was half lifted, and the blood stains on the lower body could be vaguely seen, there were no wisps on the body, bruises were all over, the wound on the chest was terrible, the plasma flowed out, and the ground was wet, but the eyes were wide open, and the expression seemed to be frightened, angry, and fearful, which was extremely pitiful.
The cold wind blew outside the window, lifted the hair between Hua Yun's forehead, she brushed it with her hand, draped it behind her ears, looked at the lights that were gradually lighting up outside the window, and once again put her eyes on Lin Erdan, and sighed lightly: "How do you know that I can help you avenge?
Lin Erdan's body didn't move, only a faint voice came: "Although the lotus flower in the backyard is changing in an orderly manner, one day two years ago, I wanted to cut the root lotus root for a few pennies only to find that there was nothing at the bottom of the jar, and the lotus flower was only suspended in mid-air, and there was nothing below." No matter how stupid I, Lin Erdan, I can't guess the boss, you can't hide it. ”
After raising Lin Erdan for many years, Hua Yun could hear the little dissatisfaction in Lin Erdan's tone, and said busily: "Don't blame me, it's just that the time has not yet come to hide it from you." Seeing that Lin Erdan didn't react when he heard this, he couldn't help but be a little impatient: "Okay, the old lady promised you that it is, but you need to find out who killed this little red girl first, but you knelt down from noon and said now, it's time to go back to the room to rest." She didn't have to let Lin Erdan kneel for most of the day, but first, some things were easy to do at night, and secondly, she deliberately sharpened Lin Erdan's temperament, who knew that he was so calm that he knelt down at night.
After hearing Hua Yun's words, Lin Erdan seemed to loosen the bowstring that had been extremely tight, and the whole person slumped, lying on the floor with half propped up.
Hua Yun hurriedly reached out to help, but Lin Erdan turned a blind eye to Hua Yun's outstretched hand, and simply supported his numb legs, staggered downstairs, and rolled down the corner of the stairs after a few steps.
Listening to the movement, Hua Yun wanted to get up, but smiled again, this Lin Erdan is a dead eye, he loves to drill the horns, since he thinks that he has a gap with her, he will not easily accept her kindness, he can only wait for him to take revenge and then slowly resolve it.
"Is there a clue?" Hua Yun didn't know who she was talking to, and the room was obviously empty.
As soon as the words fell, the figure on the main pillar on the second floor appeared, the black tights outlined the delicate figure, it was actually a young woman, but it was a pity that she was masked with a black scarf, and she couldn't see what her face was, she crossed her hands and made a strange gesture, and half-squatted down and said on the crutches: "The dark Jiuxiang see Miss, the subordinates have secretly visited Grandma Sun's neighbors, and someone once heard Grandma Sun's house knock on the door in the middle of the night, but then there was no sound, and the subordinates privately thought that there was a demon newborn, and there was still a residual sense of human consciousness, and they went to an acquaintance to kill evil." ”
Jiuxiang's conjecture is no different from Hua Yun's conjecture, Grandma Sun died in the courtyard, she should have been killed after opening the door to an acquaintance, but who is this person who knew Grandma Sun? Hua Yun asked Jiuxiang again: "Can Grandma Sun and Sun Xiaohong's acquaintances be investigated clearly?"
Jiuxiang said: "My subordinates have eavesdropped on the investigation results of Fu Tianming and all the yellow-level masters before, and they can't determine which person who is familiar with the deceased will have a motive for committing the crime, and tonight they plan to search door to door according to the list of acquaintances listed." ”
"Smack"
Hua Yun stood up angrily, almost slapped the table away, and said angrily: "Confused! I don't know how high the demon cultivation is, so I act rashly, and the loss of manpower is small, if the grass startles the snake and provokes the ferocity and causes it to flee the people, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Do you want your subordinates to concentrate on the dark brothers and sisters to arrest those people one by one?" Jiuxiang also realized that the situation was serious, and couldn't help but suggest.
Hua Yun thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, it's easy for the members of the dark department to reveal their identities, and besides, there are few members in Sunny Rain City, and as for the members who gather other places, I'm afraid it's too late." Moreover, I prefer to find out directly which person was born into a demon, a humanoid demon, but it is a rare commodity!" After a pause, he asked Xiang Jiuxiang: "Did I bring what you were looking for?"
Hurriedly took out a small paper bag from his waist, and in the paper bag was a strand of gray hair, Jiuxiang was puzzled: "Miss, is it useful for you to let me secretly take Grandma Sun's hair?"
Hua Yun took Grandma Sun's hair, cut off a small strand from Sun Xiaohong's head with her fingers, then kneaded the two strands of hair into a small strand, immersed them in the lamp oil, blew out the wick in the oil lamp and took it out, and then lit the fire to light up the hair that was used as a wick, and the green light filled the whole room.
"After death, the gods and spirits become ghosts, and they follow the way of heaven to go to the underworld, but there are also people who stay in the world for a reason. Sun Xiaohong died so tragically, I can't be sure if she has a residual soul, and whether the remaining soul can help us find the murderer, so just in case, Grandma Sun's soul is also counted. Although there are wild ghosts and lonely souls in the five states, but the art of ghosts and gods is a secret technique of the Daomen, but I can't, but the Netherworld Marksmanship I have cultivated is slightly involved with the Netherworld, and with the help of the power of the spell, I hope to make their souls more condensed and sober, which can help us find the murderer to comfort their souls in the sky. ”
Hua Yun said as she took out a piece of talisman paper from her arms, lit it with a newly made oil lamp, and placed it in front of Sun Xiaohong's corpse. The yellow talisman quickly ignited, and the smoke gathered in the sky above Sun Xiaohong's head, slowly condensing into a translucent ball of light.
secretly hated that he was not proficient in the art of ghosts and gods, and he couldn't let Sun Xiaohong show his figure, and he didn't know that this was useless. Hua Yun operated the power of the netherworld in her body, and a blue-black halo appeared on her forehead, and she said with words in her mouth: "Up to the heavens, down to the netherworld, now there are Sun Xiaohong and Grandma Sun who were killed by gangsters, I hope that the power of the netherworld will help her condense her soul and find the murderer, and after taking revenge, her soul will definitely return to the netherworld, and she will not dare to exceed the rules!"
Where does she know what kind of ghost and god method, this time it is just borrowing the power of the nether to increase the soul of the gods, and what she is talking about is not a spell, but persuading the power of the netherworld in her body to agree to help. The Nether Marksmanship she had cultivated was only a half-finished product created by that person, and she could drive the Netherworld Power to fight people, but it was difficult to use it elsewhere as she wished.
Perhaps it was Hua Yun's recitation that really moved the netherworld power in her own body, and the blue-black halo on her forehead overflowed a trace into the ball of light above Sun Xiaohong, and in an instant, the ball of light was as bright as a pearl of night, and she actually flew up, circled around the oil lamp, and circled around Hua Yun, and threw herself straight out of the window.
"You can leave yourself, I'll chase you!"
Leaving Jiuxiang on the second floor, Hua Yun came out of the window and followed the ball of light.
However, it was said that after Tan Gang and the others discussed with the government army and General Huang from the city lord's mansion, they divided into three groups of people to check the familiar people of Grandma Sun and Sun Xiaohong in turn, but until now nothing has been found. Tan Gang and the four of them formed a group of their own, the three of Xionggang formed a group of their own, the four Huang generals were in a group, and the Zhong Huang generals and the city lord stayed in the city lord's mansion to respond.
Xiongying walked on the deserted street, even if there was a senior brother by his side all the time, he was still afraid, and he always felt that the next moment the demon would attack them from a corner.
"Senior brother, I'm afraid!" Xiongfeng was still young after all, and he was infected by the mysterious atmosphere when he walked, and he almost cried.
Xionggang said, you are starting to be scared at this time, how can you experience alone in the future, how can you kill demons and demons? Of course, he thinks so, but he can't say this, otherwise after returning to the Jingmen Sect, the junior brother will sue him, according to the master's virtue of pampering the little junior brother, he will definitely not be good, and it will be scolded.
"We've already chosen the group with the least number of people to investigate, and only the last one is left, and then we'll meet up with the others, and then we should have a conclusion about who the demon is. Xiong Gang said slowly.
Xiongying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked, "Who is the last one, Senior Brother?" The first few were all fine, and he didn't think that the last one would let himself and others run into it.
Taking out a piece of paper with many names and addresses written on them, Xionggang looked at the faint light of the lantern in Xiongfeng's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "The last family is called Biaozi, and he is a blacksmith, and he lives in the blacksmith shop on weekdays. ”
At this time, it was not long after nightfall, although there was no one on the street on the winter night, but the lights lit by the vendors and residents on both sides of the road hit the street through the windows, and the three of them looked up, and the blacksmith shop was impressively in front of them.
"There's no light in the house, it's pitch black, isn't that Biaozi here?" Xiongying said after glancing at the room where there seemed to be no one there.
Xionggang sniffed his nose and said with his eyebrows: "No, someone, the oil lamp has just been blown out!"
The three of them glanced at each other, Xiong Gang approached cautiously, gently slammed the door, and asked, "Is anyone here?" We are friends of Grandma Sun, and we are here to arrange the funeral, can you open the door and talk about it?"
The door opened with a "squeak", Xiong Gang looked into the house through the faint light on the street, his face couldn't help but change drastically, he took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Arrow of order, there are traces of demons here!"
Hearing this, Xiongying took out the arrow from his bosom that the general of the government army Huang had given to the three of them, and decisively opened the fuse, causing the arrow to pierce the night sky like a spear of light. It is believed that the government army will be assembled here soon, and the other two groups of yellow-level masters will also arrive quickly.
The light of the arrow shines, and the entire Sunny and Rainy City can be clearly seen, and the Fulin Tower is naturally no exception.
At this time, the lights were on in Lin Erdan's room in the backyard of Fulin Building, and Lin Erdan checked what was on the light: "Twenty-one two... Twenty-two taels..."
Suddenly, seeing a spear of light piercing the night sky, Lin Erdan was stunned, looked up at the traces of the light, and then looked down at a small pile of broken silver and copper plates on the table in front of him, mixed them together again, starting from a new one, two, one or two, counting one copper plate and one copper plate.
“... Thirty-seven taels... Fifty-three texts..."
Lin Erdan burst into tears.
