16 Three more cut throats

Seeing that everyone stepped forward to help, Zhuang Haoming's heart was hot, and he couldn't help shouting to Jia Mengchao: "What are you doing when you come up, quickly retreat for me." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Jia Mengchao shook his head slowly, just staring at the hands of the Thunder Gong. The six people on the opposite side were a little hesitant for a moment when they saw that three more masters had come to help in the battle.

They knew very well that if they were fighting alone, they were afraid that no one present would be the opponent of this Zhuang Haoming, so one of the three demons of Rugao immediately lowered his voice and discussed with the other five: "There are dozens of people who have received the order this time, and this old man Zhuang can't run anyway, so we might as well wait for others to come......

He hadn't finished his sentence yet, but he heard a sound of beating in the deep alleys in the distance, ruthlessly piercing through the night and reaching everyone's ears. But listen to the "Bang...... Bang...... Bang" sound three times in a row, which is the sound of the third watch.

Xie Yixiang's heart jumped suddenly, remembering the murderous act of the "snatcher" of the three watches, and hurriedly looked at Jia Mengchao, and Zhuang Haoming and Cheng Qitian also looked at him. You must know that now is the time of the so-called "one glance at the hand, three watches to break people's throats", but I saw Jia Mengchao's face alternating blue and red, and it was the same as usual.

When Jia Mengchao saw Xie Yixiang and the three of them looking at him together, his face suddenly turned angry, and he shouted: "What do you see, you also believe nonsense?"

As soon as he finished saying this, there was a sudden "bang" behind everyone, and it was the sound of someone falling. Everyone looked back together, only to see that the lantern was fat, and Xue Zhiyan, who was originally sitting cross-legged, had fallen to the ground inexplicably.

And under the light of the lantern, Xue Zhiyan's side lay this severed palm with his wrist broken, a middle-aged woman's severed palm; It was the broken palm that disappeared for no reason after the "dragon girl" gave it to everyone just now.

disappeared out of thin air, and appeared out of thin air in the third watch, the "snatcher" - but why did it be Xue Zhiyan who died?

Zhuang Haoming couldn't take care of these enemies in front of him, and hurriedly rushed away, reaching out to help Xue Zhiyan up. I saw that Xue Zhiyan's eyes were wide, his mouth was slightly open, and there was still fear before death in his frozen expression; the color of blood was shining under the skin and flesh of his neck, and a large red tide had not had time to turn purple, and the shape was vaguely left by a hand.

Cheng Shaotian, Jia Mengchao and Xie Yixiang also rushed over, looking at Xue Zhiyan's body in horror.

Zhuang Haoming pondered his thoughts, carefully stared at the scar on Xue Zhiyan's neck, and finally found that in the reddened flesh, there was a straight sharp angle on the murderer's thumb print. He turned his head to look at the severed palm on the ground, which clearly had a thimble on its thumb.

Looking at this appearance, it is clear that this severed palm-this "soul-snatching hand"-strangled Xue Zhiyan.

For a while, Zhuang Haoming finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared.

You must know that Xue Zhiyan is the person he pulled into the torture room, and they have a friendship with each other for nearly 20 years. However, this time in the westward lake, since seeing the severed palm appear, Xue Zhiyan's expression has become a little strange, and it seems that there is something else hidden. Zhuang Haoming had been with him for a long time, and he didn't want to suspect him because of this, but he also secretly told several other people to pay attention to the embankment.

However, Xue Zhiyan actually died violently for no reason at this moment, seeing that the scar was done by the "soul snatcher", what is going on? Since the "dragon girl" clearly came to take Jia Mengchao's life, why did it kill Xue Zhiyan in the end?

Zhuang Haoming's long roar lasted for a cup of tea, resounding throughout the night of Yueyang City, the surrounding houses were lit up one after another, and the lights were passed in turn in the dark night, spreading in all directions, and then the entire Yueyang City was brightly lit, and it seemed to be awakened by his long roar.

Xie Yixiang was filled with grief when she heard this long whistle, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, when the current matter is resolved, we will avenge Uncle Xue." ”

This sentence suddenly woke up Zhuang Haoming, he immediately stopped the whistling, carefully put Xue Zhiyan on the ground, and reached out to pull his silver spear. In any case, if it weren't for these people coming to make trouble tonight, Xue Zhiyan would never have been killed so inexplicably.

Cheng Qitian and Jia Mengchao glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Cheng Chengtian said in a low voice: "Master, as long as you say a word, we will immediately kill these guys in front of us, and then find out the murderer of Lao Xue." ”

Zhuang Haoming's voice was surprisingly calm, and he just said slowly: "Who killed Lao Xue? Who called you here?" When he said this "you", he had already stood up, raised his eyes and looked at the six people who had come to seek revenge, but saw twenty or thirty figures.

It turned out that in the moment when he was howling, more than a dozen or twenty people appeared on the brightly lit long street, and together with the previous six people, there were already more than thirty people. At this moment, they stood at both ends of the street, either with torches or lanterns, and surrounded the people in the torture room.

Zhuang Haoming looked at them one by one, among the men and women at both ends of the long street under the lights, in addition to the previous six, the new ones also included the Wu Alliance Master of the Broken Sword Alliance, Mrs. Chen of the Fengming Pavilion, and the Jiang Duo Master of the Haisha Gang...... Everyone is their own enemy, if you want to say small, there is the hatred of destroying the gang and the feudal faction, and if you want to say the big one, there is the hatred of killing your father and brother. All faces were filled with sadness and anger.

At that moment, Zhuang Haoming exhaled a long breath and said coldly: "Very good, it's rare that you come to the door together, so let's go together." If you can't kill me tonight, then you didn't plant!"

Seeing that the muscles on Zhuang Haoming's face twitched and seemed to be a little out of control, Xie Yixiang hurriedly opened his mouth and said loudly: "Everyone is a child of the rivers and lakes, licking blood on the knife edge to make a living, and no one can keep it from encountering bad luck one day." Therefore, those of us who run on the rivers and lakes every day have our own set of rules on the rivers and lakes. No matter what happens, everyone should follow the rules of the rivers and lakes. Now you keep saying that you want to take revenge and blood hatred, but you set up an ambush and besieged in the middle of the night, what kind of rule is this?"

Her words buttoned out the big hat of "rules of the rivers and lakes", and those who came to Zhuang Hao for revenge were speechless for a while, but their anger did not diminish at all, and they all stared at Zhuang Haoming fiercely. Xie Yixiang hurriedly said: "Regardless of us and other people in the rivers and lakes, we should be chivalrous and righteous, punish adultery and eliminate evil. Lord Zhuang, as the master of the torture and arrest room in the capital, holds the court's money, so he naturally has to handle it impartially. You want to seek revenge on Zhuang Haoming, have you ever asked yourself, among your relatives and friends, who has been wronged?"

As soon as these words came out, the people who came to seek revenge suddenly boiled and scolded one after another. Someone immediately scolded: "What kind of bullshit, the five bandits of Taihang Mountain were arrested by the imperial court back then, and my fourth brother was just a small minion in the cottage, and he was also caught by this Zhuang Haoming and beheaded on the street to show the public." However, the culprit Taihang Mountain Five Bandit Brothers were convicted by the imperial court and incorporated into the defenders of Mobei. Tell me, what kind of reason is this, and what kind of impartiality is it?" Someone else said: "My Haisha Gang just resold a few boats of illicit salt in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I was targeted by this old man of Zhuang and brought people here three or four times, which made us restless." If you really have the ability to arrest Fang, why don't you come to arrest Jiang Wangcai from Dongting Lake? Could it be that the so-called impartiality is to bully the weak and fear the hard, and attack these small sects like me all day long. "For a while, you said everything to me, and the quarrel was so lively.

Cheng Shaotian couldn't help but shouted: "Enough, we are here on business by the order of the imperial court, are you going to rebel or not?" If you just understand personal grievances, then as Miss Xie San said, everyone will act according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. You just have to tell us a place, and when we finish our business, we will accompany us to the end. ”

I only heard the white-clothed swordsman in the crowd who was called "Mr. Luo" said coldly: "Don't listen to him, this is obviously a delaying tactic." If Zhuang Haoming is allowed to hide back in Jinling, who will I wait for to get him? Since everyone is a person with a deep hatred of blood, the purpose of coming here tonight is to settle grievances, and it is not a competition to compete for the first place in the world, so why bother with him what rules he has. ”

The white-clothed swordsman echoed and cheered in unison, and at that moment, a few people stepped on a few steps and were about to come to Zhuang Haoming. Zhuang Haoming was immersed in the pain of Xue Zhiyan's murder, so that he was a little out of control, at this moment his heart was quiet, seeing this situation, he immediately stepped forward, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to take revenge, just come up, Zhuang will accompany you to the end." However, there is one thing I have to figure out. ”

As he spoke, Zhuang Haoming stretched out his hand and pointed to Xue Zhiyan's corpse, and asked word by word, "Who killed him?"
