"My lord, yesterday's fire was very thorough, the entire cottage was wiped out, judging from the current clean-up situation, more than 200 bandits were buried in the fire."

"Most of the remaining surviving bandits scattered as birds and beasts, but we found a few from the nearby woods, and they said that three swordsmen went up the mountain yesterday, and in the end they didn't know what the reason was."

A short man in his forties, after listening to the report of his subordinates, slowly paced away from the charred ground, his eyes on the forest not far away.

"Did they see who killed Zhao Jiliang?"

The subordinate replied: "At that time, several of them were in charge of sentry outside, so I don't know what happened inside. ”

"Zhao Jiliang was killed first, and then his body was burned in the fire, and the bandits in Hutou Mountain are just a rabble, so who can kill him?"

The man was holding the straight knife found from the scene, which had been pulled from Zhao Jiliang's charred corpse.

Zhao Jiliang's name was engraved on the back of the knife, and it was this evidence that they confirmed the true identity of the corpse.

"The three adults went up the mountain to catch the criminal Han Yuyang, maybe this fierce traitor was really hiding among the bandits, and a vicious battle between them led to Lord Zhao being killed."

"Well, it seems that it is indeed as you said so far, so where did Wu Da and Huang Bin go? Were they also killed by Han Yuyang? ”

This question was quickly answered as the scene of the investigation further expanded, and both were killed in the nearby woods, and the death can be said to be very humiliating.

"Lord Huang was stabbed by a very simple weapon, and the fatal wound was the blow to the door in the middle, and he was also hit on the thigh, but there were no other wounds."

"This Woo-sama's injury... That's a bit ......."

The subordinate stopped talking, for he was a little unsure of how to describe the battered corpse in front of him.

"Zhao Sili, what kind of weapon do you think this is caused by?"

Although he is short compared to his subordinates, Zhao Sili, who has a pair of eagle-like eyes, is deeply admired by his subordinates for his extraordinary means and indisputable authority.

"That's what killed him!"

Zhao Sili squatted next to Wu Da's corpse, pinching some small brown particles in his hands, and the explanation he gave made his subordinates at a loss.

"How do you kill people with all this dirt that you can see everywhere on the ground?"

Zhao Sili sneered: "Take a good look, this thing may be just an inconspicuous handful of dirt in the hands of you and me, but if it is in the hands of a master, it can become a terrible killing weapon!" ”

The subordinate tried to grab a handful of dirt from the ground and put it in the palm of his hand, and then carefully sifted through it, and finally found that there was a small brown particle that looked very ordinary, but in fact it was an irregular prism.

Zhao Sili asserted: "This kind of fine iron sand is hard, and that person used his palm force to beat them into Wu Da's body to make him look like this." ”

"But can anyone really do such a thing with the power of their palms alone?" The subordinate pinched the iron sand in his hand and was stunned.

At this time, in the house of Wu Butcher, who escaped the catastrophe, good wine and good food were being served to the table one after another, and the meat stall was temporarily closed for business in this case.

Wu Yue walked out of the kitchen with the last bowl of hot soup stewed, and saw that there was one less person in the house, so he was about to turn around and go out.

"Brother Chen hasn't come here yet, I'll call him."

At this time, Lao Wu said: "No need, you and Qingshan sit down to eat first, and I'll go find that kid." ”

Without waiting for Wu Yue to react, Lao Wu had already walked out step by step, Wu Yue and Wu Qingshan both felt that today's Lao Wu seemed a little strange, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Because of what happened on Hutou Mountain, the people who targeted Lao Wu did not come back, and the county government itself did not think that Lao Wu would have anything to do with any wanted criminals, so it didn't take long for them to release him.

Wu Yue and Wu Qingshan thought that God blessed Old Wu and allowed him to escape this catastrophe, but in fact it was not the case.

"Jiang Chen, I don't know what you did, but you saved my life, I know this in my heart."

Walking into Jiang Chen's house, Lao Wu no longer had any secrets to hide from Jiang Chen, and the two talked openly and honestly.

"What are you talking about, you are Yue'er's father, my future father-in-law, if I don't do these things for you, Yue'er won't forgive me."

A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face calmly, and then he took out a wooden box and placed it in front of Lao Wu.

"I borrowed your waist card to use, if it weren't for this thing, I wouldn't have been able to lead Wuda and them up the mountain, and now that the things inside are put back, you should put them away properly."

"After this incident, I think you will continue to stay in Shanguan Town, it is no longer safe. After all, we can't bet that Wooda is the last wave of people to come to the door, and if someone comes next, it may not be as lucky as this time. ”

Jiang Chen's advice to Lao Wu was to leave Shanguan Town as soon as possible, and they needed to find another place to live.

"Well, you're right, it's been long enough to hide for twenty years, when I came here, I never thought I could enjoy such a long period of tranquility, but after all, I still didn't have that life to die in Shanguan Town."

"Did you see the contents of the wooden box?"

Lao Wu's gaze was originally a little cloudy, but when he talked about the contents of his wooden box, it flashed with a clear brilliance.

Jiang Chen replied: "Well, it's very beautiful, you just used it to charge into battle back then?" ”

"That's natural, back then I was also a member of the Qishan Iron Cavalry, every time I killed the enemy, I had to fight bravely, and I was never willing to be left behind, and this gun was my famous weapon, and now it has been sealed in the dust with me for twenty years."

After a pause, Lao Wu changed his words and said, "Leave the wooden box to you, this is something that has been abandoned by my own hands, I shouldn't hold it anymore." ”

Jiang Chen was puzzled: "If that's the case, it's the most appropriate thing for you to hand it over to Qingshan, not to mention that I won't use a gun." ”

"Qingshan is impetuous, unwilling to be down-to-earth, I have not taught him marksmanship for so many years, firstly, I want to live a peaceful life, and I don't want to divulge my martial arts."

"Second, it's also because he is not qualified, if one day he really needs to pick up a gun to protect his family, then you can transfer it to him for me."
