That's right, before Lian Congyun died, he instructed Hu Kaiyang to hand over to Chang Sheng, which was a jade pendant engraved with Chang An's name.

"Where did this come from?"

Chang Sheng grabbed the jade pendant and checked it more than a dozen times to confirm that it was her brother's jade pendant.

"The owner of the village handed him over to me before he died, and as for where the owner of the village got it, I don't know below."

"Where is the other half of this jade pendant?"

Chang Sheng hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Hu Kaiyang looked dazed and shook his head.

"That's right, this jade pendant was split in half from the middle, and I remember that the reverse side should be Miss's name."

Chang Fu looked at the back of the jade pendant, and the entire back was a neat and smooth incision, as if it had been cut into two pieces by a sharp sword.

"What else did the owner of the village say?"

Chang Sheng asked.

When Hu Kaiyang heard this, he suddenly recalled the situation on the boat at that time, and said vaguely

"At that time, the situation was urgent, and the owner of the village did not have time to say anything, but on the first day of departure, a guest came on the ship."

"Guests? What guests? ”

"I don't know, the man was masked, and his light skills were excellent, and he almost crossed half the river to the boat, I thought he was an assassin, but when the owner of the village saw him, he laughed and said that he was an old friend, and welcomed him into the cabin."

"Can you tell how old you are?"

Chang Sheng's heart tightened, and an absurd thought was born.

"The eyes should be quite young, not as young as the weak crown, and the man is holding a sword."

"What does the sword look like?"

Hu Kaiyang recalled

"That sword has no scabbard, and the material is very special, like dark iron, but it is not."

"Why are you sure it's not Darkiron?"

"It doesn't feel right, even if the dark iron weapon is a few feet apart, it will have a sense of coldness, but there is no such aura on that sword, the edge is exposed, just a glance makes people feel palpitating, that person is definitely a master of using a sword."

The more Chang Sheng listened, the more ruddy his face became, and his expression became more excited

"That person has a Qingzhou accent?"

Hu Kaiyang shook his head

"I didn't hear him speak, but the owner of the village was very surprised when he saw him."

Chang Sheng turned his head, looked at Chang Fu and cried with joy, and grabbed Chang Fu's hand excitedly

"Uncle Fu, it's my brother, it must be my brother, he must not be dead yet!"

Chang Fu was very excited at first, but soon calmed down, and his words, like a basin of cold water, extinguished Chang Sheng's restless heart.

"Miss, although I also hope that the young master is still alive, the young master is indeed dead."

"No, no, that person is likely to be my brother, whether it is age or sword, I can match it, except for my brother, who has such a special sword."

"However, the young master's corpse is in the main hall!"

Chang Sheng's expression was stunned, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had not disappeared, and he was pulled back to reality by Chang Fu's words.

Yes, isn't Chang An's body in the main hall?

"But even the items that the owner of the village confessed at the end are just thoughts?"

Chang Sheng still didn't believe it, Lian Congyun was the owner of the 36th village of the Salt Gang, such a character, what he valued most before his death, would never be meaningless.

"Although I don't think that the guest of the owner of the village is the head of the Chang family, when the owner of the village finally handed over the jade pendant to me, I could feel that this jade pendant was very important."

Hu Kaiyang said.

"No matter what, tomorrow is the day of the young master's funeral, let's finish the young master's major affairs first."

"Well, Uncle Fu is right, I only care about taking care of my mother these days, at least tonight I still have to go to wake for my brother, and Uncle Lao Fu has worked my mother's side."

Chang Sheng said.

"What did Miss say, but Miss you, I haven't closed my eyes for the past few days, I let the kitchen boil the soup, and let the kitchen send it to you regularly at night."

"Thank you Uncle Fu."

At night, in the main hall, except for those white cloth and white flowers, the entire main hall was dressed up as a solemn mourning hall, and along the coffin in the center, ninety-nine everlasting lamps were lit, illuminating the empty and silent main hall as bright as day.

In the entire main hall, except for Chang An, who was sleeping in the coffin, only Chang Sheng was alone.

After adding lamp oil to the lantern again, Chang Sheng couldn't help but glance at the coffin, looking at Chang An, who was sleeping peacefully in it at this time, still smiling.

Chang Sheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth

"Brother, why are you always so calm, now that you leave, the sky falls, and no one is holding up for me anymore."

"Knock knock."

"Miss."

Chang Sheng, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by a knock on the door.

I tidied up my mind

"Come in."

A maid dressed in plain clothes walked in with soup

"It's time, the eldest lady should drink a bowl of chicken soup to replenish her body."

Chang Sheng nodded slightly

"Put it down."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the maid had bruises on her hands.

"How did you get this?"

Chang Sheng held the maid's hand, and the maid subconsciously withdrew her hand, but she didn't break free.

If you look closely, it is clear that she was beaten with a ruler.

"Who fought so hard?"

"Shhh

The maid cried out in pain, and then began to sob.

Worried that he had hurt her, Chang Sheng subconsciously let go of his hand, and the maid quickly withdrew.

"Miss, it's all right...... It was I who lost the blood, and the punishment was deserved. ”

Looking at the little girl in front of him, who had already cried into a tearful person, Chang Sheng felt pity and comforted her, before coaxing the maid to calm down.

"Miss, I'll go first, let's drink the soup while it's hot."

"Squeak."

The maid closed the door gently.

Chang Sheng couldn't help but yawn, sleepiness hit, and he wanted to drink soup to wake up.

As soon as the soup was served, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the outside of the house, and a black shadow flashed away!

Chang Sheng lost his sleepiness for a moment, put down the soup and ran out of the house.

But the black shadow should be a good skill, and by the time she ran out of the door, it was gone.

"Are those four people?"

Chang Sheng immediately suspected the people of the four factions who entered the mansion today.

A fresh fragrance came to his nose, and the warmth of wearing red clothes fell in front of Chang Sheng.

"Are you alright?"

Wen Wen looked around and asked lightly.

Chang Sheng shook his head

"Did you see a dark shadow just outside the house?"

Warm nod

"As soon as the man came, I noticed that this man was very light, but he stayed outside the house for a long time, and he didn't seem to mean to make a move, so I looked at it, and found that he didn't seem to have any ill will towards you."

"The light skill is so high, can't even you catch up?"

Warm brows tightened

"It's hard to say, but I'm worried that the tiger is leaving the mountain, and I didn't dare to chase it, and that person may have noticed my existence."

Chang Sheng turned his head, looked at the coffin in the main hall, and muttered

"Brother, is it really you?"

"Don't rush to conclusions, that person may have sensed my presence, so he didn't dare to make a move on you."

"Well, I know it."

"Ahh Come on, come on, come on, dead! ”

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard the exclamations of their subordinates in the guest courtyard on the other side.

The two glanced at each other, warmly picked up Chang Sheng, and swept towards the guest house.

After a dozen breaths, the two came to the outside of the guest house.

"There are only four major factions living here, isn't it ......?"

Chang Sheng had an ominous premonition.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she frowned, and a bloody breath floated over.

Chang Sheng was about to rush in, but was pulled by Nuan, she turned around, but saw Nuan Nuan's serious face.

"No, why can't you hear that call just now?"

Yes, they had just been some distance away and could hear the call, but when they got here, there was no sound?

But judging from the bloody gas wafting out of the courtyard, there must be something wrong inside, those four are all masters of the Kuofu level, and there is no movement in the courtyard so far, I am afraid that something really happened.

"Just to be on the safe side, you stay here and don't move, I'll go in and have a look."

Without waiting for Chang Sheng to reply to her, Nuan went in on his own.

Twist her, Chang Sheng had to wait for her outside.

It didn't take long for the warmth to come out.

"What's going on inside?"

Warmth shook her head

"When I entered, the people of the four factions were lying on the ground, but they still had breath, and they seemed to have been knocked unconscious."

"Where did that bloody breath come from?"

"Someone was in the house and put a pot of chicken blood."

"What!"

Chang Sheng was startled, his eyes rolled twice, and then his complexion changed sharply, and he turned around and ran backwards.

"Hurry back to the mourning hall!"

The two hurried back to the mourning hall, only to see the door open.

Chang Sheng's face was even more anxious, and he ran to the coffin, but when he saw that the coffin was empty!

Chang An's body is gone!

"So that's the man's conspiracy."

Looking at the empty coffin, the warmth suddenly dawned.

"Come on!"

The people in Chang Mansion originally heard the shouts in the guest courtyard and rushed to the guest house, but before they could reach the guest house, they heard Chang Sheng shouting in the main hall.

"Quick, go to the main hall!"

Chang Fu shouted.

A group of people hurried to the outside of the main hall and saw Chang Sheng crying and shouting

"Uncle Fu, my brother is gone!"

Chang Fu's face changed greatly, and he rushed into the mourning hall, and then walked out with a very ugly face.

He glared at the crowd

"Blockade Changfu, not a single fly can be released!"

"Yes!"

After the crowd dispersed, Wen Wen said

"This person has such a deep mind, I'm afraid that I have detected his whereabouts before, and he did it on purpose."

Chang Sheng nodded

"First deliberately exposed his whereabouts in front of you and me, and then rushed to the guest house, stunned the people of the four factions, in order to be realistic, he also put chicken blood in the house, that person calculated that at your speed, it would not take long to go back and forth between the main hall and the guest house, but when he smelled blood, he had to go in and explore, so that he would have enough to steal his brother's body in the world, and finally, as long as he pretended to be a subordinate to lure everyone over, he would have time to act calmly."

"Oh yes, chicken blood!"

"What's wrong with the chicken blood?"

Chang Sheng suddenly thought of what the maid said.

"Uncle Fu!"

She summoned Chang Fu.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

"What is the name of the maid who brought me soup today, and where is it now?"

Chang Fu recalled

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yingying, four maids were transferred from Liangzhou a while ago, one of them."

"Liangzhou? What do you do? ”

"Isn't this a recent errand in the house, there are not enough people, at this time, I am afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of the loophole, so I will find Ling Hu nearby and ask him to send a few trustworthy maids."

"Trouble Uncle Fu, let her come here."

"Okay."
