Chapter Twenty-Three: Fifteen Years Ago
The big man was shocked in his heart, slowly withdrew his arm, and looked at Dao Yuan in surprise.
There are too many sons of the family in the first city, most of them are existences that they can't afford to provoke, and the two of them don't dare to move rashly when they see Dao Yuan's eyebrows and extraordinary instruments, and they say in a deep voice: "This son, do you really give him silver?"
As soon as Mo Wuji saw that it was a few people from the Dao Yuan, he immediately became excited, and said to the big man: "What are you doing in a daze, can my little brother still lie to you!"
After speaking, he immediately looked at Dao Yuan with a smile on his face: "Little brother, I was taken by you again today, Mo is really grateful! Alas, I am really ashamed to think that I am a scholar, but I have fallen to such a state!"
Lei Luo Yin and Yang said in a strange manner: "You should be ashamed, such a big person, you have this virtue everywhere you go, and you have been knocked out of the door repeatedly, if I were you, I would have found a piece of tofu and killed you!"
"This little brother, you can't say that! The so-called ten years of Hedong ......"
"Stop, stop!"
Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to make a tirade again, Lei Luo hurriedly stopped, and said impatiently: "We still have something to do, we don't have time to listen to your nonsense, so you just say it, how much money do you owe to others?"
"Oh, hehe, it's not much, it's only a thousand taels ......."
"What!" Lei Luo almost didn't jump up when he heard this, and his angry arm trembled: "One thousand taels! Why don't you die! When we are a money bank! No! No, no, no ......"
On the other side, Dao Yuan took out the silver ticket and handed it over, and when the two big men saw it, they hurriedly took it, bowed to Dao Yuan, and then returned to the inn.
"Oh, let you break the bank, little brother, how embarrassing is this......" Mo Wuji smiled, without an embarrassed expression at all, and after speaking, he glanced at Lei Luo proudly.
Lei Luo said a word with a dark face, and said secretly in his heart: God stick, you know that my boss is kind-hearted, but he still pretends to be pitiful like this, you will be retributed...... You will be punished......
Hu Lie hugged his shoulders and looked at everything in front of him with interest.
Dao Yuan smiled slightly: "When the clouds are goodbye that day, Mr. Mo will not be harmed?"
Mo Wuji said: "TOEFL TOEFL, Mo can eat and sleep, his body is strong, and this time he inherited the little brother's help, I am really grateful!"
"The gentleman is serious. Dao Yuan said humbly, and said: "It is a great honor to meet Mr. today, and it just so happens that I have some things that I don't know, and I want Mr. to ask for advice." ”
"Little brother has something to say, if Mo knows, he will definitely know everything, and he will say everything. ”
"This is not the place to talk, why don't we talk in another place?"
"That's very good. ”
......
The four of them came to a clean and elegant teahouse, and after sitting down, Dao Yuan asked straight to the point: "Sir is a bard, and he must know a lot of what he has seen, but I don't know how much he knows about the past of the First City?"
Mo Wuji was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I have stayed in the First City for several years, and I know a little about some of the things that happened in the city, so I don't know what the little brother asked?"
Then, Dao Yuan told what he had just seen in detail, but of course, he didn't say anything strange about his mood.
"That's the place you're asking about......" Mo Wuji thought for a moment, and his face slowly became heavy: "It's been almost twenty years since it was abandoned, I don't know why you're suddenly interested in it, little brother?"
Dao Yuan observed his words and looks, knowing that Mo Wuji must know something, and then said: "I was thinking, the first city is so prosperous, every inch of land must be like a jewel, the value of the city, and besides, that mansion is a good location, why is it still in ruins after so much time? Could it be that there is no secret in this?"
Mo Wuji took a sip of tea and said slowly: "As far as I know, the original owner of that abandoned mansion is surnamed Liu, and he is also an extremely prominent and famous family. The head of his family is kind and benevolent, and in his life, he has helped many poor families, and has an incomparable good reputation in the first city. However, the head of the Liu family has no children under his knees, only two daughters, who are fortunate to see, only to say that these two daughters are beautiful and gentle, and I don't know how many people come to the door to ask for marriage, and want to match a good match. ”
One night fifteen years ago, lightning and thunder, wind and rain intertwined, a group of powerful assassins suddenly came to Liufu, and those people did not know what their identities were. Although the strength of the guards and others in Nafuzhong is good, the strength of the assassins is even more powerful, and it is said that two of them have reached the cultivation of half a step to the sky......"
The three of them looked at each other in shock, Dao Yuan frowned and said: "A half-step assassin, and it is two people, with such strength, in any place, it is definitely a heroic party that shocks the rivers and lakes! Such a person, each of them is extremely proud and self-respecting, but he didn't expect to be willing to be driven by others, incarnate an assassin, and do such an unsightly thing, which shows how great the forces behind the other party should be!"
"Who says it isn't!" Mo Wuji sighed and said: "The guards of the Liufu fought hard to block the strong enemy, but helplessly, the strength of the assassins was too strong, and they were not a high-grade opponent at all, and in the end, they were all outnumbered, and all of them were killed! A total of three hundred and seventeen people from the top and bottom of the Liufu, including the maids and servants, etc., all became the souls of the sword, and none of them were spared! That night, the blood of the first city was soaring, and even if the wind and rain were strong, it was difficult to suppress the powerful smell of blood! The blood and water mixed with the rain almost soaked the first city! This massacre is the most serious in the first city in hundreds of years, the most powerful assassin, and the most mysterious!"
After that, the First City Lord was enraged and ordered martial law throughout the city, and all his men were dispatched to capture the Assassin at all costs. But what was striking was that the Assassins seemed to have vanished from the world, leaving no trace behind, as if they didn't exist at all. This case has been investigated for nearly three years, and still nothing has been found, and there are not 100 or 80 law enforcement officers who were killed due to ineffective handling, but unfortunately, even with all their efforts, there is still no clue, until it finally becomes an unsolved case. ”
Hu Lie's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "There must be a ghost in this matter! In my opinion, it is true that the assassin is strong, but it is certainly true that there are people who are protected by a traitor! Otherwise, how could there be no clue left at all! No clue is the best clue, which shows that among the high-ranking personnel of the First City, there must be someone secretly helping the assassin!"
Mo Wuji looked at him, secretly admiring in his heart, but his face remained silent.
Dao Yuan nodded slightly and asked, "Is there really no one who has been spared?"
Mo Wuji said: "Before the incident, the eldest lady of the Liu family was already out of the mansion, and no one knew where she went. As for the second lady, some people say that she was burned to ashes by the fire, and some people say that she was rescued desperately by the guards, but in any case, her body was not found. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hesitated: "There is also a rumor that I don't know whether it is true or false, some people say that on the day of the tragedy, there was a mysterious person who went to Liufu and never saw it, but later the official identified the body, but no trace of the mysterious person was found, this rumor caused everyone's speculation, and among the many speculations, the most convincing is that some people say that the eldest lady of the Liu family may have offended some mysterious force outside, which led to disaster and her own family was also destroyed!" ”
Dao Yuan bowed his head and said nothing, looking at the clear water in the cup attentively.
Lei Luo tilted his head and said in a very questioning tone: "Divine stick, are you accurate with these news? Don't make it up yourself and use it to coax us!"
Mo Wuji glared at him, as if he had been insulted by some kind of insult: "You kid, you are basically a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! Little brother treats me like this, how can I lie to him! Besides, what kind of identity am I, I will never lie and deceive people......
Lei Luo rolled his eyes wildly, you guy, just now you lied to other inns about how you are, if it weren't for the boss's kindness, your little physique wouldn't have been beaten to death......!
