The battle of the head of the house

Dumb with a long sword in his hand, smiled, "I only said that I didn't move, I didn't say that I couldn't fight back." ”

The sword momentum of the strongest sword was like a brilliant firework, although the light was dazzling, but it could not last long after all, and as the path of the attack was sealed, the sword momentum quickly dissipated.

Zheng Jiasu Ying's breath quickly withered, and she sat on the ground with her face like ashes, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood one after another, and her eyes were dilated.

The cowardly woman exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her lover's mouth.

Dumb put down his sword and said slowly, "You lost!" ”

Su Ying of the Zheng family looked extremely depressed and said, "Yes, I lost again." ”

Dumb said, "Actually, as long as you practice diligently, after four or five years, you may not be able to carry forward the ten swords of the Zheng family!" ”

Su Ying of the Zheng family smiled miserably, "Now, it's too late to say anything." ”

Dumb said lightly, "It's just that the winner is in trouble." ”

Zheng Jiasu Ying was silent.

Dumb said suddenly, "If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have a bamboo basket to draw water." Speaking of which, after all, you're still in a hurry! ”

This sentence was inexplicable, and most of the people present were confused, but Xie Xiaofeng understood it, and Su Ying of the Zheng family also understood it.

Zheng Jiasu Ying raised her head sharply and stared at Dumb.

After a while, he said, "How do you know?" ”

Dumb didn't answer, but suddenly looked at Xie Xiaofeng, and said meaningfully, "Brother Xiaoshan, this kind of showy thing, I think you should like it." ”

It was only at this time that everyone turned their eyes on Xie Xiaofeng, and secretly said to themselves, this person is not extraordinary, which attracted Dumb to deliberately name him.

Xie Xiaofeng smiled, he wore a cheek, but he was not afraid of being recognized, but this act of dumbness is worth pondering, is it unintentional? Or is it a deliberate move?

It's just that the two have only known each other for a short time, and it doesn't work logically, unless, he recognizes himself.

Xie Xiaofeng's heart sank, and he looked at Dumb with solemn eyes, this person is really like an abyss, unfathomable.

Dumb smiled faintly, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said, "This person's name is Zheng Jiaren, and he is the cousin of Su Ying of the Zheng family, as for the cause of his death, I, Brother Xiaoshan, I am afraid that I have already seen through it, Brother Xiaoshan, how about solving your doubts?" ”

Xie Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed slightly, saying this, if he procrastinated again, he was afraid that he would attract the attention of the spies in the dark places, so he didn't hide it, not to mention, the truth of the matter, he was also a little resentful.

Xie Xiaofeng said lightly, "It was the Zheng family Su Ying who killed Zheng Jiaren. ”

What? Everyone around them suddenly exploded, and they all discussed, this Zheng family Su Ying is the cousin of the man who died tragically, how could he poison him? Isn't this young man named Xiaoshan talking about it?

And the cowardly woman's pretty face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly, for fear that she knew something.

Su Ying of the Zheng family sneered, pointed at Xie Xiaofeng and said, "Your Excellency is talking nonsense, I have been good with Jiaren since childhood, how can I poison him and harm him?" I see that you are quite familiar with this gentleman who claims to be dumb, could it be that you are wantonly slandering me in order to help him clear his suspicion? ”

A few of the onlookers were simple-minded, and they all agreed, after all, Su Ying's statement of the Zheng family, on the surface, seems to be more tenable.

Xie Xiaofeng smiled, "If it was an ordinary matter, you would naturally not assassinate your cousin, but," he paused for a moment and raised his voice, "What if it's because of the competition for the position of the head of the family?" ”

"In the Zheng family's generation, there are you and Zheng Jiaren, but there is only one position as the head of the family. You and the woman beside you, although they are in love, how can the elders of the woman's family not allow this absurd marriage in their opinion, I think, there is no other reason except for the right door. So, in order to be able to be with her, you must become the head of the family, as long as Zheng Jiaren dies, can the position of the head of the family still run away? In addition, I see that your martial arts do not seem to have fully obtained the essence of the ten swords of the Zheng family, and I want to come to your cousin Zheng Jiaren, whose martial arts attainments are above you, which is a great threat to you, so you brought Zheng Jiaren to the imperial capital, probably to see the demeanor of the two kendo masters. It is best to poison Zheng Jiaren here. ”

Su Ying of the Zheng family smiled faintly, "Boy, all of this is just your speculation out of thin air, there is no evidence, don't slander indiscriminately, otherwise even if this dumb Mr. is your friend, I will talk to you!" ”

Xie Xiaofeng asked, "Slander? ”

Huh.

Xie Xiaofeng continued, "Zheng Jiaren died of severe poison in his body, and his appearance is like he has been dead for a few days, in fact? Died less than a stick of incense. This shows that there are two possibilities, first, this poison is overbearing and abnormal, not only poisoning Zheng Jiaren, but also making his body mutate, looking like he has been dead for many days; The second is that he has actually been poisoned for a long time, and today it is just an outbreak at the same time, so it is reasonable. ”

Su Ying of the Zheng family narrowed her eyes and asked, "And then?" ”

Xie Xiaofeng said, "I prefer the second possibility, there is one reason, the Zheng family is located in the south, the imperial capital is in the north, and the road is far away, if the Zheng family's enemies make a move, why wait until this time?" Isn't that too ostentatious? Let me ask you, what would you do if you waited for the poison? ”

He followed all the way, and when he was exhausted from the hurry, he must have been hungry, so he poisoned him while he was eating, and killed him in one fell swoop. There is really no reason to wait for him to come to the imperial city before making a move, after all, there are many eyes and ears here, but it is not easy to start. A mild-mannered young man said.

"That's true."

"If it were me, I would do the same." Some thoughtful spectators around agreed with each other.

Xie Xiaofeng continued, "For you, it's just the opposite, if Zheng Jiaren dies soon after leaving home, the Zheng family will definitely blame you for protecting you badly, and at the same time, they will also think that it is possible that you are poisoned." And once you arrive in the capital, there are many masters, Zheng Jiaren, a young junior, died in the tiger's den in Longtan, which is normal. And with the current strength of your Zheng family, even if you want to come to the capital to investigate, I'm afraid you will be powerless! ”

Su Ying of the Zheng family sneered, "What a sharp mouth!" Is it possible that what you can think of, others will not think of? What if the murderer is going to do the opposite and deliberately frame my Zheng family Su Ying? ”

Xie Xiaofeng nodded, "You're not unreasonable. It's really hard to be convincing, so let's talk about it in another direction. ”

"You, Su Ying of the Zheng family, why did you want to do it to a shopkeeper just now? With your Zheng family's Su Ying's ability, I believe you won't fail to understand, even if it was really the shopkeeper who poisoned your cousin, it must have been instigated by someone, and it was definitely not his intention. As an elder brother, it is impossible for you not to want to catch the real culprit and avenge your cousin. But what about you, why didn't you ask about it at all, and directly hit the killer at the shopkeeper? ”
