Against the backdrop of the morning glow, I saw that the magnificent demon tower before had turned into a black-gray ruin.

Like a charred giant, all that's left is a pitch-black skeleton.

Puffs of black smoke were rising from the charcoal-turned beams, and there were still fires in some places, showing how terrible the previous fires were.

"No...... Don't ......," Mercy fell to her knees and let out a cry of sorrow, "My demon building...... What about my people, my people? What about my people......"

"We ...... It was already on fire when we came," Chaikin said regretfully, "but it's a pity that the fire is too big, and the people inside ...... I'm afraid it's all ...... Alas......"

Yes?

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and shocked.

I didn't expect Ning Zangfeng to be so vicious that he actually burned the demon tower.

In addition to the captured rebels in the demon building, there are also four beautiful women, dozens of Qinglou women, and countless people who run the hall to do chores.

When she heard this, she fainted on the spot, and the two surviving agents of the Jinju Academy hurriedly helped her, but they were also stimulated by the bad news and trembled.

"Both...... All dead!? Sima Xin was incredulous, and hurriedly asked Cai Jin, "Lord Cai, what about that Ning Zangfeng person?" ”

"Hmm...... He...... Hmm......" Chaikin trembled with fright, as if he had lost his ability to speak at a critical moment.

"Say it quickly!" Sima Xin urged, "That Ning Zangfeng is a thief who goes against the party, all the cases were planned by him, and all the people were killed by him, this person is the culprit!" ”

"Ning...... Ning Duwei ......," Cai Jin said, "his house is also on fire, a fire...... Life-and-death...... Life and death are unknown, now. ”

"What?" Sima Xin asked angrily, "Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on?" Say it! ”

"I ......" Cai Jin finally came to his senses, and finally told the ins and outs, "I received the letter yesterday afternoon, and I heard that Ning Duwei led the city defense team to surround the demon tower, so I hurried over to check.

"However, Ning Duwei's people didn't let me in, saying that they were on some top-secret mission.

"At my level, you also know, I can only go back to the yamen and wait, but as soon as I returned to the yamen, I got another news that there was a tragedy in the county government prison and I died...... A lot of people died! ”

"Huh?" Sima Xin gritted his teeth with hatred and hurriedly asked, "How many died?" ”

"Both...... All are dead almost! "When I went to see it, there were at least dozens of people, and almost all of them were dead, even the prisoners in the cell!" ”

Speaking of this, Cai Jin's eyes showed fear and trembled.

"None of ...... Spared......" Sima Xin's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists clenched with a clenched rattle.

"It's really tragic," said Chaikin, "the villain has been an official for many years, and I have never seen such a tragedy!" I was frightened, and hurriedly ran to the government to report the news, I knew that Lord Assassin Shi Wu was not there, but I didn't expect that you, Lord Sima, were not there.

"There is no way, I can only send someone to the Holy Capital to report the news, and at the same time return to the Demon Tower again, wanting to discuss with Ning Duwei.

"But this time, Ning Duwei still didn't let me in, so I began to wonder, is the massacre of the people in the county jail related to the demon building, and Ning Duwei is suppressing bandits inside?

"So...... So...... I can only wait, I can only wait......"

"Wait? You ......" Sima Xin was so angry that his teeth were about to crack, "It's all like this, are you still waiting!?" Wait for the thunder to strike! ”

"I ...... What can I do? Cai Jin was aggrieved, "I have the smallest official position in Daguan City, I am not in the history of assassination, I am not in the army, and Ning Duwei, the only one who holds the power of the army, I can't see it, I don't care about it, I ...... What else can I do, me? ”

"And then?" Sima Xin understood Cai Jin's temperament, immediately stopped pestering, and continued to ask.

"Later, the demon tower caught fire!" Chaikin said, "The fire is all chaotic, the soldiers are scattered, no one cares about anyone, it is like running for their lives."

"I seized the opportunity, so I took advantage of the chaos to enter the demon building, but I saw that there was fire everywhere, it was too dangerous.

"I looked around, but I didn't see Captain Ningdu, and I had the heart to catch a soldier and ask for clarification, but they ran too fast, and I didn't catch it.

"The fire was really so big that even the houses near the demon tower were set on fire," Cai Jin said, "I was afraid that the fire would spread, so I had to go back to the county government to find someone, and then organize the people in the township to fight the fire together...... It has been saved until now that the fire is finally under control.

"Lord Sima," Cai Jin said to Sima Xin pleadingly, "tell me what the hell is going on!" Why are you hiding in the ruins, and why are you not burned to death by the fire? This fire...... And who put it? ”

"No," Sima Xin was emotional, but his mind was not confused, and he immediately asked, "You just said that Ning Zangfeng's house is also on fire, what's going on?" ”

"Yes, yes," Cai Jin nodded, "Around the third watch, I was still fighting the fire here, and I heard news from someone that the Ning Mansion was also on fire, and the life and death of Ning Duwei and his family members in the Mansion were unknown.

"At that time, I was already numb, so I sent some people to Ningfu to put out the fire, it is estimated that at this time, the fire in Ningfu should also be saved, right?"

Oh?

Is it?

Listening to Cai Jin's description, Xu Zhen was full of doubts.

Because he found that this Cai Blonde has neat buns, clean skin, and no mess up and down his body, where does it look like he saved a night fire?

And...... There is also a sedan chair next to Cai Jin, and the sedan chair drivers stand with their hands down, making it easy for people to form a picture of Cai Jin sitting in a sedan chair leisurely.

Xu Zhen thinks that either this guy is lying; Either...... It's just that he exaggerated and told the truth, but the firefighting was not very active.

"Lord Sima," however, Cai Jin was obviously panicked, and said to Sima Xin in a trembling voice, "There is such a big thing happening in our Daguan City, if you can't give a satisfactory explanation, I'm afraid that a few of us, no one will ...... Don't even want to live! ”

Gee......

Sima Xin was silent, obviously he thought that Cai Jin's worries were right, so many people had died in Daguan City, no matter what the reason, several of them could not escape the blame.

So, after thinking for a while, Sima Xin still told Cai Jin the truth and began to tell the whole story.

Seeing Sima Xin tell the case, Xu Zhen turned his gaze to the other side, wanting to see what was going on on Dongfang Meiyan's side.

I don't know if the Taoist aunt who talked to Dongfang Meiyan is the legendary head of the Divine Hunting Division - Dongfang Enchanting?

However, as soon as his eyes turned, Xu Zhen suddenly gasped.

Because, in sight, there is no figure at all, not only Dao Gu is gone, but Dongfang Meiyan has also disappeared!

Worst!

Xu Zhen chuckled in his heart, instinctively realizing that the situation had changed.

Since the beginning of the investigation, the only reason that can make Xu Zhen down-to-earth is the existence of Oriental beauty.

This beautiful and extremely high martial arts sister can bring him a deep sense of security.

Therefore, the sudden disappearance of Dongfang beauty at this time made Xu Zhen feel bad.

Whew......

I don't know when, there was the sound of hunting in my ears, and in addition to the unpleasant smell of burning, the wind was also mixed with an oppressive killing atmosphere.

And at this moment, Xu Zhen heard something.

The movement came from the darkness in all directions, as if something was approaching them quickly and silently.

Not good!

Xu Zhen quickly turned around and wanted to inform everyone to evacuate.

But when I looked back, I found that there was no one behind me! Lian Ji and her two subordinates in the Jinjuyuan, as well as Jing Liang and other gods, were all gone.

Depend on!

What's going on?

Xu Zhen was completely dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.

He hurriedly looked to the other side, but fortunately, Sima Xin was still there talking to Cai Jin, talking with spittle and color.

"Quick!" Xu Zhen hurriedly grabbed Sima Xin's sleeve and dragged him towards the courtyard gate.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Sima Xin was taken aback.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Cai Jin didn't know why.

However, Xu Zhen didn't run a few steps with Sima Xin, but found that a large number of black-clothed people had appeared in the darkness.

These people were as light as swallows, and their movements were swift, and after pouring out from all directions, they immediately surrounded Xu Zhen and Sima Xin.

"Huh? This ......" Sima Xin was shocked and confused.

"Huh? This ......" Xu Zhen was even more shocked to see that among the group of black-clothed people at the front, there were also two people who were tied up by five flowers.

The two people are a man and a woman, the man is Meng Zhixiao, and the woman is Shen Yu!!
