Chapter Eighty-Nine: Old Things in Cangnan (1)
In the face of several people's obstruction, the huge black mist did not show the slightest fear, and even the appearance of the ensuing Zangge did not make her have the slightest intention of retreating. In this way, the person who has been lost at this moment should be the monster in the black fog.
Zangge saw the appearance of the black mist, his expression gradually panicked, he subconsciously covered the Jia Luo Yin on his arm, the pain came in an instant, he gritted his teeth, gasped, and dragged his weak body to Jinguan and them.
"I want to try!" Although he already knew that his body was not enough to support himself to launch the formation, when he thought that the person in front of him was his fellow junior sister, he really couldn't let himself give up on her again.
After all, once they had given up on her once.
Therefore, when facing Luo Li again, he couldn't give up again no matter what.
Eight years ago, the Lingnan region, Jichun City, the place where the Cangnan faction was located.
The moon was dark and windy, but it was a full moon night, so even if it was late at night, it was still like day. There are several times more people on the streets of Jichuncheng who enjoy the moon at night than usual, and at this moment, the street is full of people, and among the bustling crowd, a woman dressed in black and masked with a black veil walks slowly in the crowd, revealing two eyes, which are unreal.
She held the sword in one hand, and in the other hand she carried something wrapped in a black cloth, and when she looked closely, the black cloth had been soaked with some liquid, and something dripped down and fell to the ground, and a bright and dazzling blood splattered on the ground, like a bewitching and dazzling flower blooming on the ground.
"Fire, fire, fire!" Suddenly, a noise rang out in the crowd. Hearing this voice, the corners of the woman's mouth under the black gauze outlined a satisfied smile.
Tourists who were originally admiring the moon heard the cry of "fire" and ran in the opposite direction to the woman. The woman did not rush with them, but continued to walk down the street in despair, to the moat, and threw the black package in her hand into the river.
The black cloth slowly dispersed under the impact of the current, and a man's head floated on the surface of the water for a moment, then sank underwater, and disappeared in a moment's effort.
The woman smiled with satisfaction and left without looking back.
The next day, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys about the death of the family of a wealthy Lingnan businessman in the fire last night. Among the appalling discussions, the most regrettable thing is that the young lady who is pregnant with Liujia is about to give birth in a few days, but she doesn't want to die like this.
Zangge took the six-year-old guest to drink tea leisurely in a teahouse, and listened to the discussion around him with a rare interest, so he called the shopkeeper and asked, "What are they talking about?"
"Zangge Gongzi, you don't know yet!" Zangge is the young master of the Cangnan faction, and he likes to take small guests to the street to eat, drink tea and buy some children's things on weekdays, so there are few people in Jichun City who don't know him.
Facing the doubts of the shopkeeper, Zangge shook his head and smiled: "Why don't you tell me." ”
"There was a fire in Jiafu last night, the whole family died in the fire, everyone was burned beyond recognition, I heard that Master Jia's unruly son even burned his head!" Moreover, I heard that last night, a woman in black appeared on the street, but everyone on the street was busy watching the excitement that night, and the woman in black was masked with a black veil, so no one paid attention to who the woman in black was, but everyone was rumoring that the woman did it!"
"Woman?" Zangge repeated, and heard the shopkeeper still gushing: "However, how can a woman have such great ability, after all, the Jia family has a big business, and there are not a few people who guard it, ......and ordinary weak women will definitely not be able to do it!
In the words of the shopkeeper, there are some guesses of his own, and Zangge naturally can't believe it all. However, from the discussion of the surrounding crowd, the only thing he could confirm was that the Jia family, the richest man in Ji Chuncheng, was wiped out overnight.
The Jia family is extremely prestigious in the Lingnan region, in addition to being rich, his family's unruly son-in-law brother Jia Ren's flying and domineering on weekdays makes the entire Jichun City people avoid it.
Jia Ren is a womanizer, so his favorite thing to do on weekdays is to seek happiness in the place where he belongs, and he has enough fun in the fence, and even robs the women in the countryside, and occasionally even kills people. However, the Jia family has money, and if something happens, it is usually a matter of taking the money.
Therefore, Jia Ren's reputation in the city is so bad that almost no one likes his usual style except for those fireworks girls. However, most of the people can only discuss in private, and on the bright side, they still have to respect him as "Young Master Jia". After all, no one is going to have trouble with money.
After the little guest finished eating his favorite steamed bun, Zangge took the little guest to Jiafu, which had been burned to the ground. Standing in the middle of the unrecognizable room, there was a strong and pungent smell of burnt burning all around, mixed with a hint of blood.
Zangge took Xiaoke's hand, squatted in front of him, looked at his innocent face, and asked, "Xiaoke, are you afraid?"
Although he was only six years old, Xiao Ke didn't show a trace of fear, but shook his head at Zangge, "Don't be afraid." ”
"Good boy!" said inexplicably, and then continued to walk into the house with him.
After the fire burned, the beams and pillars fell to the ground, and among the rubble, there were many exquisite copper and iron tools, and even some exquisite knick-knacks. The little guest picked up a jade wrench-like thing from the ground, took it to his hand and played with it.
Seeing his appearance, Zangge laughed unconsciously. However, the jade wrench, for some reason, he felt a little familiar, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he didn't care, let the little guest play with it in his hand, and continued to walk inside.
Jiafu is very large, so big that he walked in it for a long time before he walked through the entire mansion, but where he passed, almost no place could still see the original appearance, and there were dark and scorched traces everywhere, which made people have to sigh that this fire was so bad.
Judging from the situation at the scene, he felt that it was definitely not as simple as an accidental fire.
Because of such a large mansion, one fire source is definitely not enough to burn down the entire courtyard, and there are several criss-crossing streams of water in the courtyard that can isolate the fire.
Therefore, this fire can never be as simple as an accident.
