Chapter 19: You're so bold
"There are quite a few people who ask about the bounty. ”
Weng Kang thought that Zhou Heng was blaming himself, because he felt that he had already sent a letter to the sect for help, and he actually hung a reward because he didn't trust the sect, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, I'll withdraw the reward, please don't blame." ”
"Don't think about it, just ask you something. Zhou Heng saw Weng Kang's thoughts, walked to the inner hall, sat down and asked, "Are these people who come to ask for a reward more men or more women?"
Weng Kang also followed, and replied at the same time: "There are more men, after all, they are all warriors who walk the rivers and lakes, so they are naturally ......."
As he was talking, his voice suddenly stopped, as if he realized something, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Uncle Shi, do you mean that it was my bounty that attracted a large number of male martial artists, and even more conformed to the wishes of the evil demons?"
"It's a possibility. Zhou Heng bowed his head lightly and said, "Judging from what you said before, it was after the bounty was issued that the number of men who were killed increased, right?"
"It seems, it seems, that is. Weng Kang's face suddenly became even more pale, and the whole person became a little haggard, and said bitterly: "I hurt these hard-working warriors." ”
Jianghu martial artists are actually martial artists who have no sect and no sect, and they only arrived at the ninth grade after the age of thirty, most of them were born in martial arts halls, and they have no qualifications to worship the sect, so they can only travel around the rivers and lakes to find a closer opportunity.
These people are actually the real subjects of Jianghu martial arts.
Weng Kang used to be such a martial artist, but later by chance, he was favored by the Chunyang Palace and accepted as an outer disciple.
So he was now deeply guilty.
"Shopkeeper Weng doesn't have to feel guilty, if you want to blame it, you should also blame the evil demon. Zhou Heng said in a deep voice: "However, this also made me see a clue, most of the people who were killed were actually from outside Anhe Mansion." ”
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Shopkeeper Weng, have you ever thought about why before the warriors outside came, the number of people killed was so few and slow, but after the warriors outside came, they suddenly accelerated?"
"This, this...... Could it be that the evil demon has no scruples about people outside the city of Anhe Mansion?" Weng Kang was a little incredulous, and wondered, "But why is this?"
"One more thing. Zhou Heng said: "Last night, an incarnation of the secret six-grade master of the Red Flower Palace came to me. ”
"What?!" Weng Kang suddenly stood up when he heard this, and said worriedly: "Uncle Shi, are you okay, what happened to that person in the end?"
"It's okay, that avatar was slashed by my sword. Zhou waved his hand lightly, stood up, and looked outside, "Actually, I have always had a question, an incident of this level has obviously involved the evil Dao master of the middle and third grades, has the lord of Anhe Mansion made a move?"
In Daqi, except for a small number of lords who are civil officials with low martial arts, the lords of the mansions are usually served by martial artists of the secret six grades, in order to deal with the situation of high-level martial artists.
Now the people in the city of Anhe Mansion are panicking, and there are even seventh-rank martial artists who have been killed, it may be that the evil master of the secret six-rank has done it, and the mansion master should have already taken action.
However, through some conversations with Weng Kang, Zhou Heng found that the Yamen of Fucheng actually only arranged for the officials and the head-catching investigation.
The lord of the mansion never showed up.
This is clearly not normal.
Moreover, he never told others when he came to Anhe Mansion City, except for Weng Kang, only the soldiers guarding the city knew, but the evil demon girl came to the door so quickly.
This had to make Zhou Heng suspicious of the Fucheng Yamen.
Of course, he also took a serious look at Weng Kang, but he didn't find any flaws for the time being.
"Lord Mansion, he ......" Weng Kang fell into thought when he heard this, and only said after a while: "Lord Mansion Master has been in depth since last year, and he rarely shows up.
"During the Chinese New Year, I went to visit as usual, but I was turned away, and I didn't even see him, Uncle Shi, are you suspicious of the mansion master?"
"At least this mansion master is suspicious. Zhou Heng bowed his head slightly, and at the same time, his eyes looking outside narrowed slightly, and said, "Someone is coming, it seems to be an errand officer of the Fucheng Yamen." ”
"Huh?" Weng Kang was surprised, "What are they doing here?"
"You must have come to invite me over. Zhou Heng smiled.
"Uncle Shi, you'll be fine. Weng Kang was a little worried.
"Rest assured. Zhou Heng shook his head lightly.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a headcatcher walked into the Yuhua treasure shop with three errand servants.
The person at the head looked at Zhou Heng, arched his hand slightly, and said: "The contemptible Anhe Mansion Chief Catcher Qu Tai, this must be the Purple Electric Sword Immortal Zhou Heng, Mr. Zhou." Can you come with us to the Fucheng Yamen?"
"Who means?" Zhou Heng said lightly.
"It's our lord's invitation. "Qu Tai's attitude is very respectful.
"Good. Zhou Heng bowed his head slightly.
......
Yuhua Baopu is still some distance away from the Yamen of Fucheng.
Along the way, Zhou Heng and Qu Tai chatted without a word, and soon talked about the aspect of the mansion master Nie Yu.
However, Qu Tai, the head catcher of Anhe Mansion, was very measured, and no matter how Zhou Heng talked, he didn't ask anything very valuable.
I only know that this Nie Yu Mansion Lord has three concubines in addition to his wife, but he has no son and only one daughter, and he is regarded as the pearl of his palm.
It seems that it can also be regarded as a valuable clue.
......
Fucheng Yamen, backyard.
The mansion of the lord of Daqi Mansion City is usually connected to the yamen, either next door or directly in the backyard.
This is a rather elegant garden, with mountains and rivers, and quite a bit of natural flavor.
Nie Yu is a middle-aged man who looks only in his forties, with a white jade face, a handsome appearance, wearing a scholar's clothes, a scholar's hat, a slender beard, and a folding fan in his hand.
Even if they are older, for many women, they still have great lethality.
No wonder there are three concubines.
When Nie Yu saw Zhou Heng coming, he hurriedly put away the folding fan and greeted him, and said with a happy face: "Mr. Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time, I have admired the name for a long time, when I heard about it a few months ago, you were still a handsome man on the list, but I didn't expect that you are no longer on the list now." ”
"A little life, not enough to worry about. Zhou Heng smiled and waved his hand, and then said straight to the point: "Lord Nie invited me here, I don't know why?"
"Naturally...... For the recent anhe mansion has been a little unpeaceful, Mr. Zhou, you also know it. The joy on Nie Yu's face subsided, and he smiled bitterly: "I mean, can you leave this matter alone for now?"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Heng asked knowingly.
"Alas, do you have to make it clear?" Nie Yu sighed lightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, I hope you don't care about the recent affairs of Anhe Mansion City, and don't care about the affairs of Weng Kang's family. ”
"Nie Yu ......" Zhou Heng's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "You are so bold." ”
