Chapter 121: The Land of Sweet Dreams (16)
On the way back, the wild bee team walked back along the main road, so they ran into Zhangcun's messenger halfway.
After noticing the messenger from afar, the group stopped and pretended to rest in place.
So the messenger was not surprised when he saw them, but he greeted them with a smile as if they had just come here.
From the horse's accessories and the messenger's clothing, He Liangren immediately judged the identity of this person, and asked with a smile: "Did you encounter any emergencies when you delivered the letter at this hour?" ”
This is not a secret, the messenger said that the village chief's daughter was killed, and that this trip was to get Xuanqingcheng to issue a wanted warrant to pursue the murderer.
After listening, He Liang and Chen Fei glanced at each other and confirmed each other's thoughts.
Well, consistently.
The reason for this is more appropriate than the reason they just thought.
He Liangren's face became serious: "There are such a vicious and vicious people? In this way, you go to deliver the letter first, and we will return to Zhangcun to search for the criminal, and we will definitely arrest him! ”
Seeing his captain start the performance, everyone looked at Chen Fei silently, forcibly straining their faces, for fear that one of them would not hold back their laughter.
The messenger looked grateful: "Then it's hard work, Lord He!" ”
"As it should be!"
After saying a few words, the messenger continued to ride to Xuanqing City, while He Liangren and his party returned to Zhangcun along the main road.
This time, the village chief welcomed the person back to his home very warmly, and He Liangren pretended to investigate the scene, and then found out the route of the murderer leaving the house according to some clues.
Oh, it's actually the route that Long Qisheng left.
He couldn't do it like Chen Fei without a trace, although he was careful, he still left a little flaw.
At this time, He Liangren just used it to pretend to be forced.
Sure enough, seeing that He Liangren was able to find the route of the murderer's actions from these almost untraceable clues, the village chief couldn't help but be in awe.
O master!
"Lord He, can you follow the traces to trace the prisoner?" The village chief asked eagerly.
He Liangren pretended to observe the surroundings, shook his head and said regretfully: "There are too many new traces around, and the slight traces left by the murderer have been destroyed, and it is impossible to track them, but I think the murderer Bacheng did not leave Zhang Village, but lurked somewhere, and it is best to search the village next." ”
The village chief sighed.
This place has not been broken by people this morning, groups of people have come and gone, and even any traces have long been destroyed.
"That's all there is to it."
There was nothing unsightly in the village, and the village chief readily agreed to He Liangren's request to search the village, and notified all the villagers to let them cooperate.
Eight people split into three groups to find villagers who might be the owners of the dream.
……
Long Qisheng walked around the wooden house, made sure that there was no third person around, and walked out generously.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man holding the soup spoon turned around, and when he saw Long Qisheng, he was a little puzzled at first sight, and he became vigilant, his body unconsciously straightened, and he made a defensive gesture.
But he didn't speak, just stared straight at Long Qisheng.
Long Qisheng stood still a few steps away, looked at the man carefully, and finally stopped his gaze on his thin woman-like eyebrows, and smiled.
He knew who this man was.
He also knew that the other party knew who he was.
Long Qisheng walked over calmly, sat on the wooden stake in front of the house, looked at the man with a smile, and preemptively struck:
"You killed that Zhang Dali, but you threw the pot on my head, causing me so badly, shouldn't you give some compensation or something?"
“??!!”
I've never seen such a brazen person!
The man's handsome face turned red, and his eyes were full of indignation: "Nonsense! It's clear that you suddenly appeared and ruined my plan! Besides, didn't the village quickly identify the murderer? Why are you miserable?! ”
"Hey~" Long Qisheng smiled even more: "Not only do I know that you are the real murderer, but I also know about your adultery with the village chief's wife, you say, if I poke all these things out-"
The man's face changed: "How do you know?" Who the hell are you? ”
"You don't need to know how I know, as for who I am-" Long Qisheng paused for a moment and said with a smile:
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm a cold-blooded killer who doesn't have feelings, and this time I came to Zhangcun to take a business order and assassinate the eldest daughter of the village chief."
When he said this, Long Qisheng had been carefully observing the man's micro-expression.
When mentioning the assassination of the village chief's daughter, the man's expression was not anything special, it was a kind of indifference of "it's my business".
Obviously, this person has no friendship with the village chief's daughter, and does not know her identity as a "saint".
Therefore, this person should not be from the Night.
Having determined this, Long Qisheng had little interest in him.
But try to squeeze more useful information out of his mouth.
"I answered your question sincerely, so is it time for you to buy me life money next?" Long Qisheng looked at him with a smile: "If you don't give it, I'll kill you~"
“……”
After a few seconds of silence, the man asked, "How much do you want?" First of all, I'm not very rich. ”
"As a killer with a strong character, how can you ask for such a vulgar thing as money?"
Long Qisheng shook his head and stared at the man: "I only need secrets, valuable secrets, as long as the secrets satisfy me, I can even help you kill people." ”
"For example, the village chief."
The village chief is a member of the Yeqi Society, and Long Qisheng doesn't know how strong he is, and he doesn't know if he can kill him.
But it doesn't matter, he can find Didi to kill him!
Yes, that's right, it's Chen Fei.
Sure enough, Long Qisheng proposed this tempting condition, which made the man's heart moved.
Barely thinking about it, he immediately blurted out, "Really? ”
"Lying to you is a dog."
The man believed it, believing that a killer with a strong character could not be a dog.
"I know some secrets, but they are limited to the territory of Zhangcun, I have never been out of the village since I was a child, are you interested in such secrets?"
Long Qisheng's heart moved when he heard this, has he never been out of Zhang Village?
He asked curiously: "You have never been out of Zhang Village?" Xuanqing City is so close to here, don't you want to go and see it? ”
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't, and it has something to do with the secret I said."
"In the early years, our Zhang family was also a big family, this Zhang village was just a branch of the Zhang family, and the main family was in Xuanqing City."
"Later, I don't know how the head of the family angered His Majesty Hyungyu, and he was exterminated. Fortunately, His Majesty Hyungyu was merciful and only disposed of that one, and did not harm others, so we were able to survive. ”
"After the head of the family died, the position of the head of the family fell on the other branch that was closer to them, and it was also because His Majesty Xuangui was not happy that the relatives were closer, so they were ordered to move out of Xuanqing City and their descendants will never be allowed to set foot in Xuanqing City."
"They came to Zhangcun with some belongings to join us."
"Originally, Zhangcun was very poor, and there were few cultural people, but it was also the one who completely rebuilt and expanded Zhangcun after it came, so that Zhangcun became neat and beautiful."
"They also opened a school in the village, forcing all children to go to school, and this generation, more and more people are knowledgeable and reasonable, and they have found a lot of ways to make money, so that Zhang Village will continue to prosper."
"It's a pity that although that one has made a lot of contributions, but the luck is not good, the heirs are difficult, three generations later, the incense was broken, and then we cheapened this one and became the new head of the family...... Am I too verbose? ”
The man suddenly reacted and asked Long Qisheng.
Long Qisheng shook his head: "No, no, I just like to listen to the details, you continue." ”
"Oh." The man continued: "The people who His Majesty Xuangui ordered not to enter Xuanqing City do not include our group, and there were still people who often went to Xuanqing City in the past. ”
"But the strange thing is that after the current village chief took over as the head of the Zhang family, he issued a clan order, saying that he would continue to abide by His Majesty Xuanqing's ban, and all the direct bloodlines of this branch were not allowed to go to Xuanqing City, and those who violated it were expelled from the family, which is a very strange clan order!"
Long Qisheng nodded: "It's strange." ”
However, Long Qisheng can understand, what if this group of high-ranking people are all members of the Night Appendix Society? They definitely didn't dare to go to Xuanqing City, after all, the gate of Xuanqing City was a good light, wouldn't it be bad if their identities were exposed?
"The secret I want to tell you is that there is a mysterious underground palace under the village chief's mansion, and every year on New Year's Day, he will take everyone in the courtyard and bring a few clan elders and a few direct children into the underground palace for a night."
"The entrance to the dungeon is under the largest stone in the fish pond, and the key to unlocking it is in the village chief's study."
"Zhang Dali, Ah Qing and Xiao Jin have all entered the underground palace."
"......" Long Qisheng was speechless.
