After a night like this, someone from the yamen came early the next morning and said that the hidden weapon of the murderer had really been found in the ruins, which was more than a dozen silver nails the length of the thumb and the thickness of the front and the back.

Qin Keji also made up his mind, and after burying his righteous brother's family, he would return to Huayin County first, hand over Rose to his wife's care, and then go to Shenji Pavilion to investigate the news.

That night, when he returned home, his wife asked him, "If Rose asks about the murder of her parents in the future, how will she answer the child?"

Qin Keji was a straight person, and he didn't think too much about it, so he said: "She is the only bloodline of her righteous brother, so naturally she has to tell the truth so that she will not forget the revenge of destroying the door." ”

Mrs. Qin said softly, "Even if you tell the child, what can you do?"

"If I can find the enemy, I will kill him with my own hands in front of the grave of my righteous brother, if I can't take revenge within three or five years, I will take Rose to worship in the One Sword Sect, and teach her a martial arts. Qin Keji's eyes were very firm.

Mrs. Qin smiled and persuaded him: "What the husband said is true, but why don't you think about it from the perspective of the righteous brother?"

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Mrs. Qin said again: "Husband, think about it, is the righteous brother willing to let his daughter live in hatred all the time? This incident is not a good memory for my daughter after all, I have a suggestion for my husband to listen to it." ”

Qin Keji had always respected his wife, so he nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"You and I will hide it from our daughter for the time being, she is just a little doll, maybe she doesn't know what happened at home, even if she will remember it for a while, she will forget it if she doesn't mention it for a long time, if she insists on asking, you will vaguely bring it over, saying that the revenge has been avenged. Mrs. Qin also felt sorry for the child and didn't want her to have too much burden.

The upright Qin Keji didn't understand his wife's intentions too much, and said with a straight face: "Such a blood feud, just forget it?"

"Naturally not!" Mrs. Qin rejected him very decisively, and said: "If the husband can slash the enemy, it is best, if not, Rose will always grow up, and she will always marry, and then you and I will tell our aunt about this, and then he will take revenge, and as for the daughter, let her grow up happily." ”

Qin Keji felt that his wife was right, so he agreed, and told her that he was about to leave for the Shenji Pavilion, but it was late at night, and Mrs. Qin fell asleep with a rose.

The next day, after Qin Keji had arranged all the matters of the First Sword Sect, he got up and went to the Shenji Pavilion in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

The predecessor of the Shenji Pavilion is called "Tiangong Mansion", the earliest history can be traced back to the period of Emperor Taizong, it was created by Lu Yuanyi's father - Lu Botao, Lu Botao was the squire of the Ministry of Works, and was ordered by the emperor to create the Tiangong Mansion, which was jointly managed by the Ministry of Industry and the Ordnance Superintendent, aiming to develop ordnance weapons for the Celestial Empire.

During the Wu Zhou period, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, the empress reappointed the children of her own family as the head of the Tiangong Mansion, directly obeyed the orders of the Wu family, and was responsible for assassinating the Li Tang elders who had the heart of rebellion and restoration.

Jinglong coup d'état, Li Chongjun killed Wu Sansi father and son

Tang Long coup d'état, Emperor Xuanzong and Princess Taiping, who was still the king of Linzi at that time, completely wiped out the power of the Wu clan in the court, in order to avoid trouble, the descendants of the Wu family had been hidden incognito in Handan, and later the limelight was slightly slow and returned to the old land of Luoyang, restored the Wu surname, and rebuilt the Tiangong Mansion, renamed Shenji Pavilion.

As the organization of the rivers and lakes and re-emergence of the Divine Pavilion, the hidden weapon skills are unparalleled in the world, the treasure of the pavilion "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle" is the king of the world's hidden weapons, a light press of the switch can shoot out dozens of silver needles like a rainstorm, killing people invisibly, making the people in the rivers and lakes talk about the color change.

Huashan is not too far from Luoyang, and in less than two days, Qin Keji arrived outside the gate of Shenji Pavilion.

There is a flat avenue outside the gate where two children of seven or eight years old are practicing horseback riding, surrounded by several servants.

Qin Keji saw that there were no guards at the door, so it was not easy to trespass, he was only going to investigate the case, and he didn't want to blindly use force before there was no definite evidence, so he came to the crowd, hugged his fists and said: "Qin Keji of the One Sword Sect has something important to meet with the master of your pavilion, please pass it on!" A child on horseback glanced at Qin Keji, and said arrogantly: "The One Sword Sect is the number one faction in the world that everyone admires, how can there be a person like you in tattered clothes, you say that you are a member of the One Sword Sect? How to prove it?"

The One Sword Sect has always advocated frugality, from the sect master to ordinary disciples all wear black linen clothes, only when meeting guests or major festivals to change into brocade silk robes, Qin Keji hurriedly went out without changing clothes, and hurried to make his face dusty, he did look down, he was not angry but happy, and asked with a smile: "Then according to the doll, how can I prove my identity?"

The little boy glanced to the side, and a servant leading the horse laughed and said: "It is said that Qin Keji is known as the 'Shield of the Sword Sect', and one move, 'Hun Tiangang Qi', can block all the blades in the world, if you can block my big sword, I will go to inform the pavilion master for you." ”

Then the man babbled and roared and pounced, Qin Keji was still five steps away from the man, and suddenly came out of his palm, and the thick palm wind whistled with sand and dust, and actually threw the man out of the way and slammed it on the ground, Qin Keji did not move a trace from beginning to end.

Seeing the servant being beaten, the child on horseback was immediately furious, and shouted hysterically: "Kill him for me!" Qin Keji still did not move, and after everyone surrounded him, he hit three palms left and right, and suddenly people turned on their horses, and those servants were all thrown to the ground by his palm, Qin Keji squinted his eyes and said: "Little punishment, count me as Wu Furong to discipline him who doesn't understand the rules." ”

The taller of the two dolls took out a black ball the size of an orange from his arms, twisted it with both hands, and threw it at Qin Keji with a "whoosh", saying that it was too late and that was fast, and at the same time as the ball was thrown, a shout came from behind: "Stop!"

Qin Keji didn't dare to be careless, he didn't raise his sword to hit the black ball, he used the shape-shifting and shadow-changing footwork, jumped back three steps with a burst of afterimages, and as soon as his feet landed, there was a sword shadow in front of him, protecting his body.

As soon as the black ball hit the ground, it exploded, and the iron sand inside splashed everywhere, Qin Keji had already jumped out of the killing range, and the iron sand that collapsed sporadically was also blocked out by the Heavenly Gang Qi.

Qin Keji was stunned, wanting to vent his anger, but he shouted that the man hurriedly trotted from the gate of the Shenji Pavilion, and when he got closer, he arched his hand to Qin Keji and said: "In the Lower Shenji Pavilion Wu Fuchang, I have seen the master of the First Sword Sect! I saw it really on the sentry pavilion that it was my two nephews who were not successful and recklessly collided with the masters, and they would tell their brothers in the lower realm and punish them severely! I also asked the masters not to be like them. ”

Wu Fuchang is a person in the rivers and lakes, although he didn't hear everyone's conversation just now, but with Qin Keji's clothes, he recognized him at a glance as a member of the One Sword Sect. The One Sword Sect has a strict hierarchy, and although the upper and lower levels of the sect all wear black linen clothes, there are obvious differences, some wear black tight-fitting warrior suits, some wear black half-arm shirts, and some wear black robes. Even if they all wear black robes, there are detailed differences, or pure black, or inlaid with white edges, or with pattern embroidery, especially like Qin Keji, who has a pattern tattooed on the black robe with the pattern of mountains, rivers, sun and moon, must be something he can't afford to provoke.

"That's it, the child is just naughty. Qin Keji threw down his sleeves and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Dare to ask what the master is called. Although Wu Fuchang roughly guessed Qin Keji's identity, when he heard him report his name in person, he still had a lot of lingering palpitations in his heart, this person was actually the third junior disciple of the sect master of the First Sword Sect! Wu Fuchang had naturally heard of the name of "Sword Sect's Shield".

After Qin Keji explained his intentions, Wu Fuchang led him to his brother Wu Furong.

Qin Keji had met with Pavilion Master Wu Furong a few times, and he was not polite with him, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask if your faction's Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle is still in the mansion? Have you ever lent it to others?" Hearing this, Wu Furong was very surprised, and asked what the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle was doing for no reason, but because of the face and affection of the First Sword Sect, Wu Furong did not hide it, and said solemnly: "The Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle is the treasure of my town pavilion, how can it be lent to others! Wu carries it with him every day and has never lost it!"

"Can you let Qin take a look at the hidden weapon?"

Hearing this, Wu Furong's face changed sharply, how could the treasure of his own town pavilion be watched at will, let alone such a life-saving thing.

Qin Keji saw Wu Furong's face, knowing that he was too eager, and after coughing dryly, he told the cause and effect of the murder of his righteous brother, and said: "The rainstorm pear flower needle is the key clue of my righteous brother's murder, even if the jade is burned to Qin, it is bound to go around to the end!"

The atmosphere was frozen for a while.

Wu Furong pretended to laugh, patted Qin Keji on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Qin is serious, isn't it! The Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle was originally made by the Sect Master Ling Chai and his ancestor back then, and Brother Qin wants to see that it is naturally fine, not to mention that it is here to investigate the case, and there is no reason for Yu to hide it in public or private, and I also ask Brother Qin to rest in the inner room for a while, and Wu will go and get it." ”

Qin Keji said secretly: "This old fox! Fang just said that he carried it with him every day, but now he said that he had to prepare a little, what kind of tricks did he play?" Even if he didn't hide it, he didn't want to say anything, so he turned around and moved to the inner room.

It is said in the rivers and lakes that Wu Furong, the master of the Shenji Pavilion, is suspicious and fickle, and cautious and petty; Wu Fuchang, the deputy pavilion master, is generous and reasonable.

After a while, Wu Furong also entered the inner room, and said: "I just heard Brother Qin describe the symptoms of Bai Yushi's corpse, Wu Mou in order to prove his innocence, today not only to show the rainstorm pear flower needle to Brother Qin, but also to test the performance of the hidden weapon on the spot!" Then he greeted the door, and two disciples came in with a whole pair of pig frames, Wu Furong pointed to this pig frame, and said with a smile: "Wu Mou's move is only to prove his innocence, and he has no disrespect for Bai Yushi." ”

Qin Keji had already guessed what he wanted, and nodded slightly.

The two servants each pulled one side of the pig rack, and after the two stood still, Wu Furong took out a small two-inch square box from his arms, like a makeup box carried by the lady in the boudoir. He nodded to the servant, Qin Keji stared carefully, and before he could see anything, there were two sounds in his ears, one was sharp, like a whistle, and the other was dull, like the sound of a girl in the raccoon yarn hitting a mallet. The two sounds burst out at the same time, and Qin Keji was a little dazed, not knowing what had happened.

"Brother Qin can get closer to the front. Wu Furong pointed to the pork chops

Qin Keji took two steps forward and took a look, only to see that the flesh and bone on the front of the pork chop were eroded, and there was a palm-sized depression in the serious part, which was exactly the same as the wound of his righteous brother! Qin Keji clenched his fists and was about to question Shenji Pavilion.

Wu Furong hurriedly said: "Please ask Brother Qin to take a look at the back again." The servant immediately turned it over, and the pig rack in his hand was almost the same as before, except for three or two needle tips exposed.

Qin Keji was also confused for a while.

Wu Furong said with a smile: "Everyone says that the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle of my Shenji Pavilion is the king of the secret weapons in the world, it is really ridiculous and generous! According to Brother Qin's description, it can be concluded that the murder weapon that killed Bai Yushi is dozens of times more powerful than my Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle!"

Qin Keji did not take a stubble, and motioned for him to continue his analysis.

Wu Furong said again: "The rainstorm pear flower needle is a life-saving weapon, but when it comes to killing, it is a little inferior, unless it hits the vital part, the silver needle has limited power, although it can crush the flesh and bones, but it is difficult to penetrate the body, not to mention drilling a bowl-sized hole in the back, most of them are like the pork chops, the silver needle is embedded in the body, if you meet a master like Brother Qin, the rainstorm pear flower needle is afraid that even your 'Hun Tiangang Qi' will not be able to break." ”

Qin Keji had already believed most of it, and asked: "So it seems that your Divine Machine Pavilion really has nothing to do with this matter, but I wonder if the Martial Pavilion Master later developed a more powerful Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle?"

As soon as Wu Furong raised his head and met Qin Keji's fierce eyes, he naturally knew what Qin Keji meant, and still smiled and said: "Back then, Sect Master Chai and my father joined hands to develop this Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, and the complexity can be imagined! ”

Vientiane Gate is not a murderer, Shenji Pavilion has also proved his innocence, the clues are broken, Qin Keji was in a trance for a while, and he didn't know where to go.

Just as he was distracted, the deputy pavilion master Wu Fuchang bowed into the inner room and bowed to Qin Keji: "Someone came to Qin Daxia, saying that it was a disciple of your sect's Luoyang rudder, and he had already let the comer rest in the hall, and he came to inform him." "Wu Fuchang looks good, and his gestures are accompanied by a heroic spirit, not as empty and unjust as his brother.

Qin Keji, who had a sad face, responded indifferently and walked to the living room.

"Qi Qi Uncle Qin, half an hour ago, our helmsman received a flying pigeon message from Sect Master Ji, saying that he should return to Huashan immediately without delay!" The disciple of Luoyang branch returned to Qin Keji.

The system of the One Sword Sect is very strict, and no one is allowed to disobey the order of the sect master, so Qin Keji had no choice but to put down the investigation of the case first and set off to return to the sect.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate, he ran into Zhu Moqi, and Qin Keji asked, "Senior brother in charge urgently summoned me, does the second brother know what happened?"

"Yesterday, His Majesty enshrined Concubine Taizhen Yang as a noble concubine, performed the queen's guard of honor, and ordered civil and military officials above the fifth rank in the court to enter Beijing to worship, you are a guerrilla general of the imperial court, so you naturally want to enter Beijing. Zhu Moqi still looked calm.

This kind of red tape Qin Keji has always felt bored, nodded indifferently, and Zhu Moqi said again: "The sect master also said that Yushitai attaches great importance to Yijing's death, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are making every effort to investigate it, and it will definitely come to light, so that you can enter the palace with relief, don't be impatient and do bad things." ”

Qin Keji was just about to leave, Zhu Moqi caught up again, and said in a low voice: "Yijing was ordered to inspect the whole of Henan Province, and he was conspired against as soon as he returned home, he must have discovered some secret during the inspection, and this trip was escorted by Wu Gang, maybe it was a breakthrough!" Qin Keji sighed and said: "I looked for Wu Gang before I went to Shenji Pavilion, he said that the righteous brother ran all over the twenty-nine counties of Henan Province, and visited a lot of places, and he didn't hear about any changes, besides, if it was really a secret visit, the righteous brother was a cautious person, how could he let Wu Gang know?"

Zhu Moqi shook his head slightly, and said, "There must be a big article behind this matter, no matter what, Wu Gang must be secretly staring, just in case." Qin Keji nodded secretly.

Before Zhu Moqi entered the One Sword Sect, he was the companion of the King of Shaanxi, who is now the crown prince Li Heng; Qin Keji also often went in and out of the palace when he was a teenager, just because his mother was the nurse of the King of Shaanxi, so Zhu and Qin were close friends of the general horn before they were in the same sect, and later they worshiped under the One Sword Sect together, and studied under the previous sect master, Mr. Chai Wanfeng. The two have been in the same school for nearly 20 years and have an excellent relationship.
