30. Inexplicable

Li Wuning also looked frightened at this time, and this unspeakable fear was even more terrifying.

Luo Bing was also shocked and frightened in his heart, the two looked at each other, stunned for a long time, and didn't come back to their senses for half an hour.

Suddenly, there was chaos ahead, and the crowd went straight to both sides, and those who walked slowly were pushed back and forth. The slower merchants and vendors carried the sifted dill to make people, and the chestnuts and plums that were pushed rolled straight on both sides.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a large group of officials and officials, armed with swords, iron rulers, iron chains, and other things, shouting and drinking, and rushing to arrest the two of them.

Luo Bing knew that the two of them had just done it in Xiangyang City, and they were fighting the Hu people and soldiers in the town government envoy barracks, someone must have reported to the official, at this time, the master died, and there was a death in this compartment, so he should also cooperate with the questioning, and he is the deputy secretary of Dali Temple, and the detective commander of the criminal department should not avoid it.

Here he tidied up his clothes a little, so that he would not be unkempt, and then walked forward to meet the group of officials, walked straight to the man riding a tall horse, hugged his fists, and described everything he had just seen and done.

The first officer saw that he was of a very good temperament, and very polite, and saw that there was no malice on the part of the two of them, and he did not suspect them of murder. But when he spoke, he didn't like it, and he said in a hard tone: "You two don't look like good people, what are you doing here? Some people say that you beat and kill officials in the street, is there such a thing? Say, where do you come from and what do you want to do? Just say a wrong word, hum. ”

A few people with handcuffs and shackles over there heard this, and shook the handcuffs and shackles in their hands, and there was a sound of "bang", the sound was crisp and piercing, and it sounded majestic and terrifying.

Luo Bing's face still did not change, his breath did not change, and he smiled and said: "This official, the two of us are passing through Xiangyang, and we are not going to do anything here. Seeing the dead official from afar, he had a strange expression, and he seemed to be affected by some kind of poison all the way, and wanted to go up to help him. It's a pity that it can't be saved. ”

An official with a ring ruler in his hand stepped forward, and the ring ruler in his hand made a "horn" sound with the palm on the other side, and asked coldly: "How do you know that he is poisoned?

Luo Bing pointed to the corpse lying on the ground and said, "Can't you even see him foaming at the mouth?

The official on the horse said disdainfully: "The status of the dead one is not low, he is the prison warden of our Xiangyang City, and he has good martial arts, how can you two hit it when you say it."

There are seventy or eighty thousand military masters in Xiangyang City, this one's arm strength and sword skills are also among the top ten among the seventy or eighty thousand military masters, and he is a must-attend person in the lion dance competition every year. ”

Luo Bing was thinking to himself at this time: "This official doesn't investigate the case and doesn't sort things out, what does it mean when he catches the two of us and asks us hard? In this way, if the time is delayed too much, can the two of us still go to work, or I will reveal my identity as the deputy secretary of Dali Temple" He was weighing and muttering this matter back and forth in his heart.

Luo Bing thought about it here, and unconsciously forgot that Li Wuning on the side had already had a hot flow in his lower abdomen, and a stream of fire rose on the soles of his feet, flashing above his head.

This side is so angry that he listens to it, and if he continues to be wordy like this, it is not the result of going back to the yamen to ask, how can he get it now, it is not that he has to kneel down to the county master, I will go to his grandmother.

As soon as I thought of this, I was even more resentful, how could I suppress the fire when it rose up. didn't wait for Luo Bing to finish thinking about it, without saying a word, the soles of his feet shook his body, raised his hand and one palm, and knocked out directly without speaking.

The official on horseback and the handcuffed official were the most ruthless, one person was one palm on the chest and one palm on the face, these two dizzy and swollen faces were suddenly like pig's heads, and the six or seven officials in the future were all stunned, and smiled at Luo Bing: "How simple is this, and you still talk to them for a long time, is it worth that energy? ”

Luo Bing was pondering the interests and weighing the relationship, and in a blink of an eye, he was caught off guard by Li Wuning, and said angrily: "You knocked them all unconscious, and they still haven't put us on the wanted list? Now that the matter in Xiangyang has not been done, how can we find people when our portraits are posted everywhere?" But when I think about it, I haven't revealed my identity, and it's not a big deal. ”

Li Wuning waved his hand and said, "I can't control what you think, and you can't control what I want to do." Anyway, let's go first, and then we will talk, people can't do anything if they can't go. If we are a step or two late, I am afraid that we will not be able to do anything, and we will never have the best day. ”

Li Wuning also said it very reasonably, Luo Bing heard what he said, and he was speechless. Looking at the street on the side, the merchants were so frightened that their doors were closed, and the streets were originally very prosperous, but now even a dog did not dare to walk here.

The two of them quickly got up, walked to the north of the city in three steps and two parts, and in the blink of an eye, they entered a large courtyard.

This courtyard is a big family at a glance, the door is magnificent and luxurious, the two vermilion lacquer gates are about a zhang high, and the style is no longer under the Dali Temple in Luoyang.

There were two big characters written on the tall and majestic door, "Chu Mansion", Luo Bing was overjoyed when he saw the door, walked forward quickly, grabbed the two huge door noses and knocked hard, and shouted: "Chu Jianghai, Luo Bing asks to see!"

The two of them waited outside the door for a long time, but no one came out of the door.

Why do you need people in this Chu Mansion, it is the richest mansion in Hunan and Hubei. The owner of the house is called Chu Jianghai, the son of Luo Bing's master Chu Zhao and his brother.

Chu Jianghai was originally a big family of the Shimen clan and a cousin of the master, and he also received Luo Bing many years ago, so how could he not move at all this time.

Li Wuning frowned and said: "With such a big courtyard, how can there not be a few housekeepers, what are these people eating, is it possible to hear that the headless heavenly king has fled with his family?" Thinking like this in his heart, he poured strength on his feet, kicked open the door with a muffled kick, and walked in with Luo Bing.

When it comes to the Hunan and Hubei Chu families, it is a big family that everyone knows, no one knows, and the foundation is magnificent, and it is full of talents. The Hunan and Hubei Chu families have a total of ten sons and four sons-in-law.

The Chu family left Hunan and Hubei to go to Luoyang, some were the chief dart heads, some were the chief catchers, some were the helpers, and some were the heads, but none of them were not talents.

Chu Zhaohe is also the head of Wudang and the master of the second major sect of Jianghu martial arts.

Chu Xiuwen is already a pavilion elder and is in the best position.

Chu Dezhi was the most powerful general in the military of the dynasty.

Such a big family is also a frequent guest in the mansion of the king of Xiangyang, and the ordinary family is full of guests every day, and the wine is delivered by car to the prosperity and prosperity.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, there was no one at this time, where did everyone go?

The two walked into the mansion side by side, Luo Bing's mind was very delicate, and he didn't forget to reflexively close the door after entering. Although he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange in his heart, he didn't think too much about it, after all, the steward of the Chu family had arranged too many things, and it was appropriate that no one came to greet him.

After a while, they crossed the corridor and walked to the front yard, this house was too vast, and the two walked for a long time before they walked halfway to the front yard.

I saw a row of housekeepers and maids standing at the door of the front hall across the front yard, all with nervous faces and sticks in their hands, and one of them, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, also clenched her fists, and seemed to be ready to fight to the death.

Luo Bing smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to panic, under Luo Bing, I came to visit Chu Jianghe today, I don't know where he is?"

Those family members still bent their waists and bowed their hands and held clubs, ignoring them, and put themselves in battle formation. The maid seemed to be deaf, and she did not move, but stood solemnly at the door.

Luo Bingxin said: "Why are these people so ignorant of the rules? Although I am friends with your master, I am also a second-grade member when I come to the house!"

He arched his hand again and said, "Luo Bing came to visit the old man Chu Jianghai."

It's still quiet here, and there is still no one to talk to, Luo Bing reluctantly said the previous words again, but it still has no effect.

Li Wuning walked over, looked at it carefully, stretched out his hand, and suddenly frowned: "Luo Bing, you don't have to ask again." ”

Luo Bingqi said: "How do you say this?" Li Wuning pointed at these people: "Because they will never speak again." ”

Luo Bing's heart was also terrified, and he walked up to observe carefully, only to see that the more than 20 people had already died, each of them was poisoned to death, and the corpses were extremely intact, and they were dry and hard, because they were poisoned and there were no mosquitoes and flies lying on it.

These people were obviously poisoned in a hurry, but the expressions on their faces were extremely real, and they looked like living people.

Luo Bing and Li Wuning glanced at each other and exclaimed, "The Qiqiao boy is here!" didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly rushed into the front hall.

This time they entered, Rao is two people killed people without calculation, broke countless formations, and the heroes were bold and shocked.

The entire front hall is full of people, some have to stand, some sit, some lie down, some have knives and some have guns, more corpses are lifelike but hard and dry, and occasionally one or two severed arms on the ground emit the smell of corpses, and it can be seen that the poison is great in this hall where mosquitoes and flies dare not enter.

Li Wuning was known as the blood sword many years ago, that is, there was different blood left on the sword every day, and there was blood on the sword every moment, and killing people and setting fire were things for him.

Slaughtering a good man is like eating and drinking for him, no different, although he is also used to killing people and setting fires, but this is the first time he has seen such a cruel and strange thing, only to feel that his whole body is soft, the soles of his feet are about to slip out, his scalp is numb, and he almost vomits.

When Luo Bing was a teenager, he followed his master to the north and south, and he had never seen any scenes of bloody rain and bloody wind every day, and when he was young, he followed his master and Nan Jiyun to fight the Anshi rebels, and he had seen countless stumps on the battlefield.

At fifteen o'clock, he had a fight with the Demon Sect when he first went to Tianshan Mountain, and when he saw such a tragic situation, he felt cold in his heart and said: "This is the method of the Demon Sect in the past. The last time the Qiqiao boy passed by Luoyang and drove the snake and insect almost poisoned me and Chu Qiuyan to death, his snake and insect medicine is extremely toxic, he was bitten by the snake and insect and his body was stiff, the mosquito did not bite, he could keep the corpse for several months, and even the expression of the corpse before his death would not change. Unexpectedly, the Demon Sect is really going to reappear this time. ”

Li Wuning was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and muttered to himself: "This is ...... What did the Heavenly Demon do?"

Luo Bing calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I think when I was a teenager, I saw Dugu Linglong's side, his clothes fluttering, his long hair like a needle, really like an immortal, and the hero Tiemoller competed on the Holy Maiden Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, what a glory it was?"

How could the Heavenly Demon personally kill such a family member who didn't know martial arts. Dugu Linglong once swept the world in the Western Regions back then, and she was also very powerful in the Dawan and Yueshi areas, how could she do these despicable things.

I think that this killing of many people must have been done by the Qiao boy himself, the Qiao boy is said to have lost ** after the Tianshan War, and his heart has become extremely bad, he returned to Miao Jiang, and devoted himself to the study of the five poisons, and did not hesitate to use live people for experiments, and was killed by Jiangnan Nangong Ping and led people to go to Guyue or where, and has disappeared for more than ten years. ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the courtyard, and the sound of footsteps was mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, as if a large number of people and horses had arrived.

Luo Bing and Li Wuning glanced at each other, their internal strength was ready to attack, if the Heavenly Demon attacked with men and horses, it would be death and no life, and they could only fight their way out of the encirclement and fight for their lives.

In his ears, he could hear the shouting of life outside, and although the footsteps were rough and shallow, the martial arts were not high, but they were well-trained and uniform, first surrounding the entire hall, and then a large number of officials with shackles appeared at the main entrance.

Since it is a government servant who came, it must not be as terrible as the heavenly demon, Luo Bing's cold sweat on his forehead gradually went and he reached out to wipe it, secretly screamed ashamed, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Under Luo Bing, the deputy secretary of Dali Temple and the deputy commander of the Criminal Department, are ordered to investigate here." ”

As he spoke, he took out the bronze waist plate of Dali Temple and the quasi-red edict approved by the Criminal Department from his arms.

This shooting sun on the horse is very level, looking at Luo Bing's waist card and handwritten oracle and then dismounted, although he said that he didn't know that the adult was there to forgive the crime in person, but the corners of his eyes were prostituting everywhere, wanting to see how many people came this time, and how the news spread so quickly.

Luo Bing arched his hand at him, and said that it was polite to investigate the case together.

This Yang Shooting official was originally the confidant of the King of Xiangyang, and the King of Xiangyang has nothing to do with how many people died here. As for how he died, he can slowly find out, but as soon as there was a murder case here in Xiangyang, the emperor sent Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to investigate here, but it was too incredible, but he was frightened in his heart, and he thought that the king of Xiangyang was usually arrogant, and the emperor had long been suspicious.

The scene in the house was very uncomfortable, so many corpses stood without falling, and many officials vomited.

Sheyang remained silent, followed Luo Bing to investigate, and found that the shallow corpses that had been bitten by snakes and insects had also begun to decompose, and said to himself: "These people have been dead for a long time, but the news of the messenger is wrong. ”

Although the voice of these words was low, they clearly reached the ears of Luo Bing and Li Wuning, and the two of them hurriedly asked, "Who reported the news?"

Sheyang replied: "It is said that it is the neighbor on the other side of the Chu Mansion, and it is said that no one has entered or left the Chu Mansion compound for several days, and it is very strange that so many people eat and drink and do not go out, no one enters and no one goes out." ”

As he spoke, he used a probe rod to fall to the ground with a decomposing corpse, and said, "I've been dead for more than ten days, and I've got maggots." Li Wuning looked intently, and a long and large white maggot probed out of the bloody corpse, and frowned: "There are such big maggots in the world, thicker than a finger. ”

Luo Bing suddenly felt bad, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry, hurry!"

The official next to him didn't know why, and suddenly saw the big white maggot "whoosh" and jumped up, spun in the air, "whoosh, whoosh" A big maggot turned into dozens of small maggots in a blink of an eye, and shot towards the people next to him.

Li Wuning's kung fu is first-class, his reaction is first-class, and his body turns, and he flicks the maggots back like a spinning top. The sun-shooting kung fu is also high, and he is not even under the force of restlessness, he casually picks up the wooden shield, and blocks all the maggots that shoot back.

Li Wuning shouted: "Hurry up, there are poisonous insects everywhere here, it's terrible, maggots will bite people!" He was born in the green forest rivers and lakes, so naturally he didn't care whether others lived or died, and his natural reaction was to break away.

Luo Bing shook his head and said: "This is not a maggot, it is a silkworm of the Qiqiao Boy, which contains great poison!" As soon as the words fell, an official next to him twitched to the ground, and the whole person immediately became pitch black, but it was Li Wuning who told that when he rotated, the poisonous silkworm was thrown on his body.

This happened in the blink of an eye, and the officials reacted, pulled the poisoned person back, and when he took a breath, he was already out of breath.

Na Sheyang was thinking about it, whether to help the prince to directly kill the two detectives from the criminal department, and report back to the province, after all, the prince took a lot of trouble, his heart changed, the expression on his face was extremely unnatural, and he explained these situations to his subordinates clearly with lip language.

When Luo Bing arrived at Dali Temple, he naturally knew some lip language, and knew what this Sheyang was talking about, so he probably wanted to kill people and kill his mouth, and solved it together, leaving the scourge to himself and Li Wuning.

Li Wuning looked at the shooting sun blue for a while, and asked, "What the hell do you want to do?"

Luo Bing said in a low voice: "We are at the scene of the murder, and someone reported that it was extremely suspicious, but now this official has died inexplicably, and most of them want to frame us." ”

Li Wuning frowned and said, "It's impossible to go to court, I'll slaughter them all later." ”

Luo Bing said: "They said that you smeared poison on your knife and killed someone." Kill on the spot. ”

Li Wuning smiled: "I don't know if they have the ability." ”

Luo Bing said: "I have already reported my name, and I have already shown them the handwritten edict of the Criminal Department and the waist card of Dali Temple, and they dare to do this, presumably because the King of Xiangyang is used to conniving, which is annoying." ”

Luo Bing bluntly said that the king of Xiangyang was used to conniving, and he was already very polite, and if he changed it, it was naturally that the king of Xiangyang wanted to rebel.

Li Wuning's face showed murderous aura, his hand was held to his waist, and the hilt of the sword was already held: "Kill all the people here?"

Luo Bing held his hand: "What is the difference between us and the Qiqiao Boy when we kill so many people?"

As he spoke, the encirclement had been completed, one person shouted twice, and an official raised his handcuffs and shackles and attacked him, but his eyes were slight, and the two people in the hall disappeared.
