Chapter 23: The Religion of No Life
Outside Liang Sheng's house!
The two people hiding in the corner still didn't choose to do anything after all, and one of them sighed before speaking.
"Forget it, the owner of this house is kind to me, I have always had clear grievances in doing things, and besides, his strength doesn't matter to us, so it's better to let him go."
The person who spoke had firm eyes, and the other person saw that his eyes were firm, and he thought of the rumors in the city, so he simply sold the other party a favor.
"Good! This time I entered the city to accept your love, but you shouldn't let go of the rest of the Liang family, right? ”
When the man heard this, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, "I am no longer a member of the Liang family, and my Hongzhi has already taken refuge in my Buddha." ”
It turned out that this person was Liang Qi of the Liang family, and after becoming a monk in Jinshan Temple, he was called Hongzhi, but he didn't expect that he also secretly came to Jinzhou City.
After saying that, he quickly made a faint pattern in the bottom corner of the door of the house, so that other people would not enter the house when they saw it.
Then the two of them hurriedly merged into the night, and the corner disappeared, and Liang Sheng didn't know anything about it!
Just when Liang Sheng was hiding carefully, there were also people in Jinzhou City and County who were worried.
At this moment, Xia Zhiqiu, the county lord, sat on the main seat, and Liang Ying and Wuchang were on both sides, Liang Ying's face was ruddy and he looked high-spirited, but Wuchang was a little old.
After all, Wuchang is also seventy years old, and he looked at Liang Ying with such a bearing, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his eyes, why didn't the martial arts family have such outstanding juniors.
Of course, the martial arts family also has many juniors of the acquired sixfold realm, but they are trapped by the bottleneck and have not been able to break through to the upper grade realm of the acquired sevenfold martial arts.
The path of cultivation is so difficult!
Liang Ying didn't know what Wu Chang was thinking, at this moment he looked at Xia Zhiqiu and Wu Chang silently, he was the youngest of the three, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Lord County, Lord Father-in-law, we have used a lot of manpower to search in the past few days, and we have almost turned Jinzhou City upside down, but we still haven't found the murderer.
From this point of view, there is only one reason left, that is, the murderer is extremely strong, at least he is also a high-grade martial arts master, otherwise the result will not be like this. ”
Xia Zhiqiu and Wu Chang didn't speak when they heard this, they just looked at Liang Ying and motioned for him to continue.
Of course, they can also think of these, the question is what to do next, and Liang Ying is not polite, suddenly stood up, and took out a few teacups on the coffee table.
"I remember that after the tragedy outside the city, the people who died in the city on the first day were in the history, the second day was the main man, and the third day was ......."
As Liang Ying listed the victims one by one, Xia Zhiqiu and Wu Chang's faces became more and more serious.
"But the day before yesterday and yesterday died, but it was Liang Chuan, the steward of my Liang family, and Wu Lei, the outer door steward of my father-in-law's house, so this is not without rules at all."
Xia Zhiqiu vaguely knew what Liang Ying was thinking, and couldn't help but stand up and walk to Liang Ying's side, and the same was true for Wuchang.
"Judging from the trajectory of the murderer's crime, first the history of the county government in charge of the treasury was removed, then the main man who was responsible for dispatching the civil affairs, and then the two outer doors of my Liang and Wu families, and this is all related to property."
Dian Shi is in charge of the county treasury, and the chief book is of course also responsible for the county government account books, and the two stewards of Liang and Wu have a lot of money in their hands.
Liang Ying opened his mouth at this time, and his tone was extremely affirmative, "Coupled with the destruction of the Bai Chen family outside the city, they are the biggest grain merchants in our city.
The goal of these people is obvious, not just to obtain money, I don't know if the adults have noticed, the price of vegetables and grain in the city has risen sharply in the past few days. ”
Xia Zhiqiu was shocked when he heard this, and then he slapped the table suddenly, "This thief has such a big appetite." ”
If Liang Ying's speculation is correct, I am afraid that their purpose is definitely not as simple as killing people for money, but premeditated actions.
At this moment, they finally had a direction, and the eyes of the three of them flashed, but Xia Zhiqiu vaguely felt that something was wrong at the moment.
"If they first planned to supply the city, and now they have completed this task, if I am a thief, then ...... next"
Speaking of this, Xia Zhiqiu lowered his head and thought, Liang Ying and Wu Chang were also thinking at this time, if they were right, what would Fang do next, but there were too many possibilities.
At this moment, Zheng Wanchun suddenly broke in without knocking on the door, his face was a little anxious, and he glanced at Liang Ying.
"My lord, there's a fire in the city."
Well?
When Xia Zhiqiu and the three of them heard this, they immediately walked out of the room, and when they went out, they saw that the east of the city was as bright as day, the fire was soaring into the sky, the smoke was billowing out, and even the crying could be faintly heard.
Liang Ying's face couldn't help but change greatly, because the east of the city was the direction where the Liang family's camp was located, and he didn't have time to say hello in a hurry, so he left directly to the east of the city.
Wuchang was surprised at first, and then rejoiced, fortunately it was not in the direction of the martial arts, but at this moment, Xia Zhiqiu's voice came faintly.
"The ancestor of the Liang family should be in the main house of the east of the Liang family, if the thieves set fire to the city, the ancestor of the Liang family should not let him escape, right?"
Saying that, Xia Zhiqiu looked at Zheng Wanchun, and the head catcher of Jinzhou City, who had cultivated to the eightfold realm of the day after tomorrow, had an ugly face at this time.
"Yu Xianzun, we haven't caught anyone, when the ancestor of the Liang family appeared, the thief was already gone!"
"Then why didn't you just say that?"
Xia Zhiqiu's face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard this, why the Liang family was able to stand tall in Jinzhou City was because of the ancestor of the Liang family.
But the ancestors of the Liang family did not leave any thieves, so the matter is completely over, and the strength of the thieves must be reassessed!
Zheng Wanchun glanced at Wuchang at this moment, with some hesitation in his expression, Wuchang saw this, and immediately said goodbye and left.
Besides, he was actually a little worried in his heart, since the thieves could burn the Liang family's area, why couldn't the martial arts family?
When Wuchang left and there were only two people left in the house, Zheng Wanchun said carefully: "Actually, when I was patrolling in the east of the city, I met a few people in black, but they fled as soon as possible, and I didn't catch up.
However, I took the opportunity to grab one of them by the sleeve and saw that he had a white lotus mark on his left arm. ”
Speaking of which, Zheng Wanchun took out a torn black sleeve collar, and Xia Zhiqiu just glanced at it, his face was extremely ugly.
"No Life Sect!"
Zheng Wanchun nodded, because his thoughts were the same, Xia Zhiqiu took a deep breath at this time, and patted Zheng Wanchun's shoulder, it was really not suitable to speak just now.
Because they can't let the Liang and Wu families know that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Wusheng Sect, otherwise they may escape overnight.
After all, the Great Yan Dynasty has pursued and suppressed the Wusheng Sect for hundreds of years, and they still exist until now, and the families that have been destroyed by the Wusheng Sect are unknown.
"No wonder the ancestor of the Liang family didn't catch up with the thief, since it was the Wusheng Sect who made a move, it makes sense."
Zheng Wanchun's face became more and more worried, he looked at Xia Zhiqiu and stopped talking, but finally did not speak, Xia Zhiqiu thought for a moment but said:
"You don't have to worry too much, you can't treat the Wusheng Sect with common sense, wait until you send a trustworthy henchman, and hurry to the state capital for eight hundred miles to report the news, just say that Jinzhou City has found the Wusheng Sect in chaos!"
When Zheng Wanchun heard this, he raised his head sharply, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xia Zhiqiu smiled and said nothing!
