Pei Chen did not leave Wangjing overnight, but took some money from Gao Yonglu and found an inn to live in.

At this time, Wangjing fell into a panicked situation with a howl of 'killed'.

When the watchman walked through the Gaofu, he saw that the gate of the Gaofu fell and there was a mess on both sides, and he walked up curiously, after all, this Gaofu is majestic on weekdays, and the guards guard the door, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

The watchman walked up the last step, but the scene in front of him made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, and then he vomited continuously, and only after vomiting did he let out that trembling howl in horror.

It didn't take long for the government to come and surround the Gao Mansion and carefully investigate the clues, but no matter how they checked, they didn't find the slightest, and the only thing they could know was that all the people lying on the ground were killed by a move, and the murderer was very ruthless and decisive, and he should seek revenge from the enemy.

Hou Wendao, the prefect of Wangjing, was shocked when he saw this scene, and kept muttering: "How is this good? How good is that? How does this make this government explain to the one in Xijing Palace? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to cause trouble for the government? Check it out for me! Even if I go through the whole of Wangjing, I have to find the murderer before the blame is settled! ”

But in this vast Wangjing, looking for such a murderer in a city of two or three hundred thousand people that no one has ever seen is like looking for a needle in a haystack, everything is in vain, just to alleviate the power of blame from some of the capital.

The whole Wangjing was stirred up overnight, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, Pei Chen was drinking at an inn, and he bought a clean set of clothes with the shopkeeper, and he fell asleep after a while.

Gao Yonglu's wife and children rushed to Xijing overnight, accompanied by the maid, and had no time to care about the dozens of bloody corpses in Gaofu.

For more than 30 miles, the three of them were stunned to walk, and they didn't dare to stop at all along the way, for fear of sudden changes.

Under Xijing City, the soldiers defending the city stopped the three people, and the three of them were embarrassed, and they did not have the rich and gorgeous appearance of the past.

"Who's coming? What is the reason for entering the city late at night? Don't you know that the gates are only opened every day? Quickly retreat! The soldiers shouted from the tower.

"We are the family members of the Gao family in Wangjing, and if we have an urgent matter, we will go to the city to report it, and we will ask the military master to be accommodating." The maid replied.

"What a high family is not a high family! If I have to put it in all the days with a high surname, wouldn't this Xijing be a mess, don't say more, and you can enter the city after dawn. The soldier continued.

Gao Yonglu's wife stepped forward at this time, took out a sign from her arms, and said, "You don't know me, you should always know this sign, right?" ”

The soldier didn't dare to slack off, after all, there was only one dignitary surnamed Gao in Xijing, and seeing that this woman was holding a token, he hurriedly went downstairs to check, only to see that the soldier hurriedly ran out of the door that opened a crack, took the sign in the woman's hand and looked at it, and his hands trembled.

"Madame forgives her sins, the villain has no eyes, so open the door to Madame." After saying this, the soldier changed his previous attitude and respectfully led the three of them to the city.

Speaking of this token, no one in the entire Xijing errand does not know, it is the token of Gao Bishan, holding this token such as Gao Bishan in person, no one in Xijing does not dare not give Gao Bishan face.

However, at this time, the matter was urgent, and Gao Yonglu's wife did not reproach the soldiers, but asked the soldiers to take them to the Earl's Mansion in Gaobi Mountain.

After a quick knock on the door, the door of the Earl's Palace slowly opened.

The person who came was sleepy-eyed and wanted to be angry, but when he saw that it was Gao Yonglu's wife, he immediately changed his attitude.

"Ma'am, why are you here late at night? Still so embarrassed? ”

"Stop talking nonsense, take me to see my father-in-law!" The woman replied.

The man didn't dare to refute, and led the way straight to Gao Bishan's residence.

Gao Bishan had already done too many bad things, and his sleep was very shallow, and at this time, he heard movement outside in a half-dream, and sat up, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Master, someone from the Wangjing Yonglu Prince's Mansion asked to see you, and he was outside the door at this time." The guard whispered.

Gao Bishan wondered in his heart, what happened to the people who came at this hour?

"Father-in-law, I am Yonglu's wife, Wang, and I have something important to tell you here tonight."

When Gao Bishan heard this, he opened the door from the inside and walked out.

"What's the matter? Come with me to the study! Gao Bishan said, but at this time, after seeing the embarrassed appearance of the Wang family and others, he already had a bad conjecture in his heart.

In the study, the servants light the lamps.

"Father-in-law, Yonglu is dead!" Wang said while crying.

"What? Why did he die suddenly? Didn't he send a message yesterday that he was going to Beijing next month to see our house, did something happen? Gao Bishan was very surprised.

"Father-in-law, as soon as it was night tonight, a strange man came to the house, holding a long sword and killing people when he saw them, and only three people including me survived in the entire Gao Mansion, the reason was that the man did not kill women and children, and none of the other men were spared." Wang still can't believe that scene when he thinks back to that scene at this time.

"Didn't our family send a number of masters to Yonglu to protect them on a daily basis? How could this still be the case? ”

"Father-in-law, don't you know, those people you sent and the guards of the Gao Mansion couldn't stop the murderer's move, and everyone died in a moment." Wang continued.

When Gao Bishan heard this, he wondered in his heart, except for Pei Jianyi, who died many years ago, there should be no one in the world who has this ability, is it? "Did the man say anything?"

Only then did Wang remember what Pei Chen had explained: "By the way, father-in-law, that person also asked me to bring you a message." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"The man only said that the man's apprentice had returned? If you ask anyone, say that the man who killed you with a sword has returned. Other than that, nothing was said again. Wang looked at Gao Bishan, who was frowning.

Gao Bishan was full of doubts and did not ask again.

Wang was very curious and asked, "Father-in-law, who is that person?" Father-in-law, your old man must be the master for us. ”

Gao Bishan replied at this time: "I still have to come, I still remember that it was because of Yonglu that the whole family of Xijing Sword Immortal Pei Jianyi was wiped out, but there was still one person in the Pei family who survived at that time, that is, Pei Jianyi's descendant Pei Chen, who is also a famous swordsman all over the world, since he said that he was that person's apprentice, if he wants to come, he must have been dormant for many years and came back to seek revenge at this time." ”

"Father-in-law, no matter who he is, please avenge my whole family!" Wang said.

Gao Bishan didn't agree immediately, but said: "I know, you can stay here in the future, I have my own decision on this matter, you go down and rest first." ”

Wang didn't say anything more, and went down under the guidance of the servant.

Gao Bishan stood in the study, did not move a step for a long time, stared at the flames blown by the wind, and sighed: "It seems that the wind and rain are coming!" ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a light rain to fall, and the weather was much cooler for a while.

Gao Bishan opened the window, looked at the falling light rain, and recalled the scene back then.

Gao Yonglu took his entourage to tease a woman from a good family on the street, Pei Jian made a righteous move and injured Gao Yonglu, and then Gao Yonglu came to him to complain, and described it with added fuel and vinegar, although he knew Gao Yonglu's personality, but it was a critical period for him to establish his authority, so he had to take Pei Jianyi to open the knife. So he stabbed Pei Jian in front of the saint on the charge of rebellion, and Pei Jian was fierce all his life, and he voluntarily died to prove his innocence, which led to the later tragedy of the Pei family.

However, it is precisely this matter that made the hundred officials in the capital see their own means, and since then it has been smooth sailing, and it is only today that he has achieved today's success, although he is a eunuch, but in addition to being less than others, the others have surpassed others by hundreds of times.

"Someone!" Gao Bishan suddenly shouted at this time.

I saw three figures suddenly appear from all around the house.

"Charm and Spirit, the three of you have been lurking around our family for many years, and now it's time for you to make a move, go to Wangjing to investigate, if you find this person, kill him on the spot!" Gao Bishan commanded with a stern expression.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" After the three of them finished speaking, they immediately disappeared, and they were really like ghosts.

It turned out that these three people had been by Gao Bishan's side all along, and they naturally listened to what they had just said.

And the three of them are all masters from the Western Regions, and they were invited by Gao Bishan in his early years, although he doesn't like martial artists, but he still needs these people to protect himself.

These three people are also very strange, in addition to their whereabouts, if the three of them are separated, their personal combat power is almost the same as that of ordinary masters of the rivers and lakes, but as long as the three of them are combined, the top masters of the rivers and lakes are also difficult to deal with, and they have disappeared in the rivers and lakes over the years, but they have been hiding by Gao Bishan's side and have long been bought.

Watching the three of them leave, Gao Bishan seemed to feel that this matter could basically be over, and then let out a sneer: "Pei Chen, Pei Chen, since the old man was able to kill your master back then, he can also kill you today." ”

The next day, Pei Chen, who had just woken up, heard the movement of the official downstairs to investigate. At this time, the door was also knocked on by the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, the official who built the Wangjing Mansion today came, saying that he wanted to interrogate the person who committed the murder in Gaofu last night, and asked the guest officer to clean up and go downstairs for interrogation." The shopkeeper whispered at the door.

Pei Chen knew that these people were nothing more than a formality, even if they stood in front of them with a sword, they didn't know that the people in Gaofu were killed by themselves. So, Pei Chen took the long sword he carried and went downstairs.

As soon as he saw Pei Chen coming downstairs with a sword, he beckoned a group of brothers to come over and block in front of Pei Chen.

However, when Na Zhukuai saw that the rust marks on the long sword in Pei Chen's hand were obvious, and the sword body was yellow, he immediately sneered: "Damn, Lao Tzu thought he was a master, and he was shocked." ”

Pei Chen was puzzled and asked, "I don't know what the official said?" ”

"Damn, is there something wrong with you old boy? Others don't learn to take a sword, don't talk about taking a sword, but it's still a broken sword, how can this sword kill people? Catch quickly and continue to taunt.

Pei Chen said in a low tone: "I see, thank you for reminding me, I'll see if I meet a suitable sword, the villain will change it again." ”

"What a bad luck! Get out, get out, see that you don't look like a murderer who killed more than a dozen people in Gaofu, just like you, stay aside, don't affect my master's investigation. After saying it angrily, he pushed Pei Chen aside.

The news of Gao Yonglu's death and the fall of Gaofu was soon stirred up by these officials and spread all over Wangjing, although it was a little incredible, but most people were still happy in their hearts, after all, there were not a few people who had been oppressed by Gao Yonglu in Wangjing over the years.

In the whole of Wangjing, except for the shopkeeper of the wine stall, no one knows who the murderer is, which is indeed unbelievable. Although the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is convenient to kill, but dozens of people have been killed, and no one has seen what the murderer looks like, which can be regarded as funny.

Pei Chen, as usual, was holding a wine gourd and carrying a long sword on the street, which was simply an existence that was difficult to attract the attention of others, no one would transfer their suspicions to this sloppy-looking middle-aged man, and a dark yellow and rusty long sword directly dispelled the doubts of others.

Pei Chen unconsciously arrived at the wine stall again, and saw Pei Chen's wine stall owner from a distance who was startled by Pei Chen, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Pei Chen, and whispered: "Brother Pei, why do you dare to come out and wander around, don't you know that the whole city is looking for you?" ”

Pei Chen said: "Don't worry, they are looking for a master of the rivers and lakes who kills people without blinking, do you look like me?" Don't worry, get me something to eat, I'm really hungry from being tossed around like this this morning. ”

I saw that the stall owner didn't say much, and while preparing to eat, he looked at Pei Chen, who was sitting down, and sighed in his heart: "Alas! This is a hero! Not surprised, not angry, not angry, it seems to be plain, but in fact, no one can match, chic and comfortable. ”

The stall owner brought the food, Pei Chen ate it in a big gulp, handed the wine gourd in his hand to the stall owner, and said vaguely: "Fill me with the wine gourd." ”

The wife on the side saw that her husband was being called to drink, and it was normal if he was usual, but wasn't the person in front of him who ate white food yesterday, so she stepped forward and grabbed the stall owner and said in a low voice: "It's the one who ate white food yesterday, we are a small business, you are good, why are you still rushing to greet people." ”

The stall owner said: "Women, what do you know, if it weren't for this eldest brother, I would have died many years ago, don't make a noise." ”

After making the wine, he took it to Pei Chen's side and asked, "I don't know what Brother Pei plans to do in the future?" It's better to stay in Wangjing, there is still a spare room in the younger brother's house, if the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, let's move over and live together. ”

Pei Chen took the wine gourd, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "You kid is still so honest and honest, you will suffer!" Pei is used to traveling, so he still doesn't disturb your husband and wife to do business. Then he put a minotion of silver in the hand of the stall owner.

"Brother Pei, what are you?" The man was a little surprised.

Pei Chen said: "I said yesterday that yesterday's meal was your favor, and today Pei has no reason to eat white food." After saying that, he laughed and left.

The stall owner held the silver in his hand, looking at Pei Chen's distant figure, and his heart was full of bad feelings. Turned to his wife and shouted, "It must be that you were heard by the eldest brother just now, you woman, isn't this deliberately embarrassing me?" Am I not ungrateful, but my savior! ”

Seeing that his wife was a little remorseful, the man didn't say anything more, but he was listless all day.

After Pei Chen left, three strange people came to the wine stall, it was the three of them, after sitting down, the three of them were not in a hurry to ask for wine, but called the stall owner to ask about the tragedy in Gaofu last night.

The stall owner didn't know too much about it, so he coped with it after a few words, and then served wine and food to the three of them.

The man who returned to the side knew that the three of them must not be easy, so he secretly took a look at the three from time to time.

I saw that these three people were dressed in black, with high noses and drooping mouths, all with deep eyes and many beards, obviously they were men, but there was a faint fragrance on their bodies, and they knew that they were people outside the customs when they heard the accent, and they suddenly came here to inquire about last night's affairs, and they must have come badly, and now they can only hope that Brother Pei is fine.

The three men put down the money on the table and hurried away to the city.

After leaving, Pei Chen was still swaying leisurely on the street, like an idle lazy man.

Just as Pei Chen was asking questions in front of a stall, the three of them walked behind them, and it was the fragrance on their bodies that attracted Pei Chen.

Pei Chen turned around to look, and saw that the three of them were in a hurry, heading in the direction of Wangjing Mansion. It must be someone from the capital, maybe it was sent by Gao Bishan to deal with him, but who are these three people, how do they look a little weird, not like the people in the Central Plains martial arts.

Pei Chen also followed a few people, and sure enough, these three people quickly entered the Wangjing Mansion, and Pei Chen waited at the door, but after all, he didn't see the three people come out again.

I wanted to go in and observe it secretly, but it was easy to be discovered at this time, so it was safer to wait until the evening. Pei Chen waited until night fell, then flew into the mansion, searched around, and finally found a few people in the banquet hall in the backyard.

At this time, the prefect Hou Wendao was greeting a few people enthusiastically, and kept saying, "Shangshi, you must say a lot of good things for the lower officials in front of the tall people!" Xia Guan is very grateful! Something like that. With that, he handed some silver tickets to the three of them.

"My lord is so polite, but the three of us brothers are a little rude, my lord can rest assured, this time the three of us are here for the murderous Pei Chen, as long as Pei Chen is taken, the adult will naturally be safe." One of them said.

Then a few people began to talk, laugh, eat and drink.

Pei Chen knew the intention of several people, so he wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by a voice from the room.

"Since you're here, let's come down and have a drink together!"

Pei Chen was very curious about how the other party found out, but at this time, the three of them were already standing in the courtyard, and Pei Chen didn't have time to think about it and flew down.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversations? One of the three asked.

"I am Pei Chen, the person you are looking for."

Several people looked at Pei Chen up and down, but they really didn't expect this to be Pei Chen, and when they looked at the rusty sword, they all wanted to laugh.

"I'm curious, how did you find me?" Pei Chen asked.

"Of course, it's because of the incense, and you should have been following us since the daytime, so you have this fragrance on you, but you can't smell it yourself." Several people smirked.

"I see! If you are here to kill me, you should leave a name, otherwise you will become a nameless ghost if you die under my sword. Pei Chen said.

One of the three said, "Do you know the Charm of the Dragon? It's just the three of us, who are ghosts, and if you want to kill us, it depends on whether you are as rumored. ”

"It turns out that you are the ghosts and ghosts, and you can't imagine that you have become the lackeys of the old thief! Without further ado, let's do it! Pei Chen said.

"In that case, I'll let you taste the Phantom Lock Soul Kill of the three of us!" Yu said.

At this moment, a cool drizzle fell in the sky, drenching everything around them, just in time to wash away the blood of the night, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

And Hou Wendao also recruited a large number of fast officials to block all the roads, Pei Chen looked around, untied the long sword, took a long sip of the wine in the pot, and then pointed the sword at the sky.
