Chapter 201: Suspicious
In the dead of night, a figure in the Xianwang Mansion passed through the house and the courtyard, hurriedly walking, and walked towards the inner courtyard in a hurry.
"Bang, bang!"
In the silence, Luo Tianjin's door was suddenly knocked on.
A moment later, with the sound of a suspicious soo, a question with displeasure quietly came from the room: "Who?"
"Mansion Master, I'm Xie Xuan!" Outside the door, Xie Xuan hurriedly replied softly.
"Squeak!"
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened. Luo Tianjin, who was dressed in a big hat, looked at Xie Xuan with a gloomy face, but when he saw Xie Xuan's solemn expression, he couldn't help but flash a suspicious look in his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mansion Master, I just received the news, and I said......" Xie Xuan stopped talking, and glanced into the room with an embarrassed face.
Luo Tianjin understood, stepped out of the room, and gently closed the door with his hand, urging: "What did you say?"
Xie Xuan's expression was straight, he stepped forward, and replied in a low voice: "Cha Gan and his party were ambushed in the Lingqiu mountain stream, and they all died tragically!"
"What?"
Luo Tianjin was shocked, he wanted to ask what was going on, but before he could say anything, he subconsciously glanced back at the room. At this moment, Ling Xiaoxiao was still asleep. Luo Tianjin dragged Xie Xuan, quickly walked into the courtyard, and asked with a boo, "Is the news reliable?"
"It should be reliable!" Xie Xuan muttered, "It was the passing merchants who found their bodies on the plank road, and they alarmed the local government last night." Dressing up, accompanying the car, and the number of people are all right, and the news is true. Just now, I have sent someone to the Lingqiu mountain stream to find out, and I should be able to rush back before noon. ”
The night breeze was slow, and the dark heaven and earth were cold, and hearing such news at this moment made Luo Tianjin feel a chill behind him. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Since the matter has alarmed the government, it must be impossible to hide it, I believe that tomorrow morning, this news will be known to the whole world, and the city will be full of wind and rain." Chagan they came at me, and now they are dead on the way back, and the Mongols will definitely count us in this matter. ”
"Exactly. Xie Xuan nodded hurriedly and said, "I know that this is a big matter, and there is no time to delay. Therefore, he came late at night to disturb the rest of the lord. ”
Luo Tianjin waved his hand nonchalantly, and asked instead, "Do you know who did it?"
"I don't know. Xie Xuan smiled bitterly, "The people who ambushed them were obviously prepared, coming and going like the wind, and they didn't leave any clues. ”
Hearing this, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but let out a sigh, then raised his eyes to look at the night sky and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's the fourth watch!" Xie Xuan said, "It's going to be dawn soon, and we need to come up with a countermeasure to this matter as soon as possible." ”
"That's good!" Luo Tianjin walked towards the middle hall without hesitation, and said as he walked, "Go and call Jiang Yiwei, Deng Changchuan, and Murong Bai to discuss matters first." Then the order was passed down to the three doors, and the owner of the door came to wait. By the way, call Hongxuan too!"
Luo Tianjin gave an order, and the Xianwang Mansion, which was originally immersed in sleep, suddenly became lively. The disciples hurriedly ran around the mansion, and Xie Xuan accompanied Luo Tianjin straight to the middle hall.
In less than a cup of tea, people from all walks of life have gathered in the middle hall, and the hall is brightly lit and bright as day.
Luo Tianjin's expression was solemn, the atmosphere in the hall was depressing, and everyone was dissatisfied and suspicious, and looked at each other.
Xie Xuan was instructed to inform everyone of what happened in the Lingqiu Mountain Stream, and the people present were taken aback and surprised.
"This matter is clearly trying to frame us, who did it?" Su Tang said in a deep voice.
Jiang Yiwei frowned, and speculated: "It seems that someone doesn't want us to make friends with the Mongolian court." ”
Luo Hongxuan muttered: "But Cha Gan and his party all died, and they didn't deliberately leave a living mouth in our name, and obviously didn't want to cause trouble for us." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became noisy, and everyone talked about it, each with their own speculation.
Luo Tianjin's eyes swept over everyone gloomily. Suddenly, he found that the seats behind Di Mo, Ling Qing, and Chen Yong were empty. Liu Xunyi, who was supposed to be sitting there, was nowhere to be seen at the moment.
"Where is Liu Xunyi?" Luo Tianjin asked, "Didn't I order to summon the three door leaders and door masters? Why don't you see Liu Xunyi?"
A shout of questioning caused the hall to fall into silence for an instant.
"Before, my father was very kind to the lord of Liumen, and pardoned him until he recovered from his injury, so he could not participate in any errands. Luo Hongxuan hesitated, "Will no one inform him because of this......?"
"No!" Di Mo suddenly got up and arched his hand towards Luo Tianjin, "I have sent someone to call Liu Xunyi just now, but...... Didn't find him. ”
"What do you mean?" Xie Xuan frowned and asked thoughtfully, "What do you mean you didn't find him, where did he go?"
Di Mo replied truthfully: "I don't know! He is not in his room, and even the futon is neat, obviously he didn't return last night." ”
"Didn't return last night?" Di Mo's words made the hall lively again.
Luo Tianjin glanced at Xie Xuan with a gloomy face, and both of them had a look of suspicion on their faces. Apparently, they had the same thing in mind.
I remember that the day before yesterday, Liu Xunyi confronted Cha Gan in court, and even made disrespectful remarks and insulted him. Xie Xuan said in an unkind tone, "In the Xianwang Mansion, he is most opposed to our friendship with the Mongols. Now that the group of Mongols was ambushed in the Lingqiu mountain stream, and Liu Xunyi did not return all night, and his whereabouts are unknown, this matter will inevitably be ......"
"Makes sense!" Murong Bai said lightly, "Killing people and killing people will not only destroy our relationship with the Mongols, but also prevent the Mongols from leaving conclusive evidence for the Mongols to ask us for their crimes." Thinking about it this way, it does look like his way of doing things. It's just ......"
As for this, Murong Bai's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation, and he muttered: "Liu Xunyi has always been loyal to the lord of the mansion, and he obeys his orders. This time, if you disobey the order, you will even cause big trouble for the Xianwang Mansion, this matter is ...... Did he really do it?"
"Motivation, time and martial arts, Liu Xunyi is completely in line. Jiang Yiwei analyzed, "I really can't think of anyone else besides him? If it were our opponent, he would have deliberately left one or two alive people to report back and put us to death in the name of us." Why do you need to cut down the grass and eradicate it all?"
"Di Mo!" Luo Tianjin waved his hand quite impatiently, turned his expression to a straight face, his eyes were like torches, he looked directly at Di Mo with a gloomy face, and said coldly, "Liu Xunyi is your person from the third door, you have to give me an explanation for this matter!"
"Don't worry, the mansion master!" Di Mo's face turned red, and he immediately asked for his life, "Even if Liu Xunyi runs to the ends of the earth, I will arrest him back and hand it over to the mansion master to decide......"
"I can't wait that long!" Luo Tianjin interrupted, "I'll only give you two hours, no matter what method you use, you must find out Liu Xunyi for me." You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!"
"Dad, you...... What are you going to do with the Willow Sect Master?" Luo Hongxuan asked with a worried expression.
"If it was really him who did it, then dispose of it by family law and hand over his body to Chifengling for explanation!" Luo Tianjin was expressionless and said in a cold voice, "If it is found out that he didn't do it, we will find other ways to solve this matter." ”
"Mansion master, wronged! This matter was not done by the door master!"
Suddenly, Xu Heng's hurried shouts came from outside the hall. Hearing this, Di Mo's eyes were cold, his body shook, and he swept out of the middle hall in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he kicked Xu Heng into the hall and shouted angrily: "The middle hall is deliberating, you dare to eavesdrop?"
After that, Di Mo drew his sword out of the sheath without hesitation, wanting to kill Xu Heng on the spot, but was stopped by Luo Tianjin first.
Luo Tianjin stared at Xu Heng suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know that he didn't do it?"
"First, the door master's foot injury has not healed, and he still needs to walk on crutches for daily access, so it is impossible for him to go to the Lingqiu mountain stream hundreds of miles away to ambush and kill masters such as Chagan and Battle. Xu Heng was physically and mentally nervous, and replied tremblingly, "Two, early yesterday morning, the master of the door made an appointment with the master of the Lin Sect to go to Tianxianglou to drink together, and also said that he wanted to have a drink, and he would not return if he was not drunk. Therefore, at this moment, not only did the master of the gate not come back, but I thought the master of the forest gate ...... It's also not in the house. ”
"Su Tang. ”
Luo Tianjin suddenly turned his gaze to Su Tang, and Su Tang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to investigate. A moment later, the disciple came to report and confirmed that Lin Fangda was indeed not in the mansion.
"Why did they run to drink early in the morning?" Jiang Yiwei asked suspiciously.
"Because ......," Xu Heng hesitated and explained, "because the lord of the mansion wants to accept the invitation of the Mongolian court, this matter makes the lord of the house extremely depressed. The night before yesterday, he had talked with the master of the forest gate all night, and drank all night, but he couldn't enjoy it yet, so early yesterday morning, he went to Tianxianglou to continue drinking......"
"Is this true?" Luo Hongxuan asked in a condensed voice.
"Every word is true!" Xu Heng swore assurance.
"Di Mo. Xie Xuan shouted, "You immediately rush to Tianxiang Tower to find out." If they are there, bring them back. If you are not in ......"
"Needless to say, let's go!" Luo Tianjin hurriedly interrupted Xie Xuan's words and waved his hand to urge.
Di Mo didn't dare to hesitate, and took Ling Qing, Chen Yong and others out of the house and went straight to Tianxiang Tower.
......
At this moment, the sky was already dark. When Di Mo and the others turned over and dismounted, the gate of Tianxianglou was still closed, as if it had not yet opened.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Chen Yong kicked the door open. Before he could wake up from the big dream, the panicked guy stepped forward to greet him, and Di Mo had already led people to break in with meteors.
"A few masters, you are ......"
"Where are Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda?" The two disciples stepped forward quickly and dragged the dazed-looking guy in front of Di Mo, Di Mo asked coldly, "Don't tell me you don't know!"
"Uncle Lin and Uncle Liu are ...... In the private room on the second floor, ......" counter, an old man pointed to the second floor tremblingly, and begged with sincerity, "He is new here, and he doesn't recognize anyone yet, I hope a few uncles don't blame ......"
"When did they come?"
"Yesterday morning. The old man did not dare to deceive, and hurriedly replied.
"Haven't left?"
"Didn't go. The old man nodded and replied, "Yesterday they drank more than a dozen jars of wine, and there was no movement in the morning, and eighty percent of them were drunk......
"No movement?" Di Mo's eyes moved, "Then how do you know they're still there?"
"This snoring has never stopped......"
Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Di Mo had already led someone to rush to the second floor quickly, and came to the door in a blink of an eye.
But at the moment when Di Mo wanted to push the door open, he hesitated. Di Mo looked at the closed door with a complicated expression, and seemed to mutter, "If Liu Xunyi is really not inside, then ...... It's a shame......"
After that, under the nervous and complicated gaze of Chen Yong and Ling Qing, Di Mo's eyes suddenly became ruthless, and then he pushed hard with both hands, and the door opened instantly.
Suddenly, a thick pungent smell of wine came to their faces, causing the three of them to frown.
In the wing, the table is full of dishes, a mess, and the wine jar is tumbling and scattered.
Lin Fangda leaned back in his chair, leaning back and snoring, snoring like thunder.
As for Liu Xunyi, he was holding an empty wine jar, lying on his side on the ground, pillow with a cane, and sleeping soundly.
......
