Chapter 2 The first bad news is broken

In the early morning of the next day, the Sect of the First Sword Sect

Qin Keji and Zhu Moqi bid farewell to Yin and sent everyone to the mountain gate.

Among the people of the Yindu faction, there was a young descendant wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, bowed goodbye, and said respectfully: "Zhu Daxia, Qin Daxia, please stay here, the love of the One Sword Sect for many days, the little nephew keeps it in mind, and at the beginning of next month, Yan Dashou of the Eighth Family also hopes that all the seniors will be able to enjoy their faces." ”

Zhu Moqi waved goodbye to everyone, and said with a smile: "Definitely, definitely." ”

This young descendant's name is Zhang Chengye, the son of Zhang Shuchen, the current head of the Yindu faction, and the eighth day of the next month is Zhang Shuchen's fiftieth birthday, so he sent his youngest son to the Yijian Sect to send an invitation.

The Yin Capital faction was founded by Zhang Shuchen's father Zhang Jikai, Zhang Jikai claimed to be a descendant of the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and wanted to take this opportunity to wander the rivers and lakes, but the North and South Zhengyi Sect did not recognize it, and in desperation he returned to his hometown Zhongzhou, and founded the Yin Capital faction in Fengdu County, known as the Yin King Messenger, in charge of the Yin and Yang path, Zhang Jikai passed the position of head to Zhang Shuchen after the ancient times.

After the Yin Capital sent everyone away, Zhu Moqi said to Qin Keji with a smile: "Zhang Jikai was also a martial arts predecessor in the rivers and lakes back then, but he didn't know much about history. ”

"What do you say about this second brother?" Qin Keji asked.

"He Zhang Jikai dares to claim to be a descendant of the Heavenly Master just by virtue of his surname Zhang, think about it, what kind of person is Zhang Daoling, his descendants and nephews are very protective of the reputation of their ancestors, how can others pretend to be at will?"

Zhu Moqi played with the folding fan in his hand and sneered: "The most ridiculous thing is the word 'Yin King', Zhang Jikai is known as the messenger of the Yin King, saying that the Yin King is the ruler of the underworld, and he was entrusted by the Yin King to establish a sect in the world. Fengdu County does have a 'Yin King', but during the Han Dynasty, a Taoist priest surnamed Yin and a Taoist priest surnamed Wang had practiced here. ”

Although Qin Keji was not as knowledgeable as his second senior brother Zhu Moqi, he also roughly knew that Zhang Jikai had fooled the local people back then, so he naturally despised such behavior. He sighed and said, "Some people believe that the sect master has always revered ghosts and gods, so he naturally wants to be hospitable to everyone in the Yin Capital Sect. ”

"Fei Ye! Fei Ye!" Zhu Moqi laughed, shook his head and said: "It is true that the sect master reveres ghosts and gods, but such courtesy to the Yin Capital Sect is not only because of the talk of ghosts and gods, what a wise person Senior Brother is, what he entertains is just the reputation of the Yin Capital Sect in the Bashu region. ”

While the two were talking, a disciple in the distance wearing the clothes of his own sect rode his horse and galloped, and before he got off the horse, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Qin Keji, panting and saying: "Chen Liu's rudder is urgent, and he wants... I want Uncle Qin to open it in person. ”

Qin Keji took the letter and pondered: "Chen Liu's urgent letter? Could it be that the righteous brother has something to ......do?"

There was only one note in the kraft paper, after seeing the content, Qin Keji suddenly felt that the sky was spinning in his mind, he was unsteady on his feet and almost fell, and was helped by Zhu Moqi, who was quick to move, he took the note in Qin Keji's hand, and after reading it, he also gasped, and the note only had a few numbers written: Bai Yushi was tragically destroyed, come quickly!

"Quick, give me the horse!" Qin Keji snatched the reins and turned over on his horse.

"Third child, you stabilize first, and it's not too late to go after figuring out the truth or falsehood!" Zhu Moqi shouted loudly. Qin Keji neither looked back nor responded, and went straight away.

Qin Keji kept going all the way, looking for the rudder of the First Sword Sect and changing horses twice along the way, and it was already dusk when he arrived at Chen Liu. As soon as he arrived at the door of Bai Yijing's house, a disciple greeted him, and the man bowed his hand and said, "The disciple has been waiting here for Master Qin for a long time on the order of the helmsman. ”

Qin Keji had a cold face, and asked as he walked: "What is the situation, tell me in detail!"

The disciple said: "Last night, there was a sudden fire in Bai Yushi's house, but no one came to save him, until he alarmed the husband who was keeping vigil and rushed to report to the official......" As he was talking, the two pushed the door into the courtyard, Qin Keji was stunned on the spot, only to see that most of the large and small houses had collapsed, and the mud after the rain was mixed with broken wood and debris, where there was still a trace of life.

He paused for a moment and asked, "What about my brother-in-law, and what about my brother, sister and child?"

"Last night, the fire was very urgent, it was difficult to extinguish for a while, and it was a rainstorm when it was in trouble, and when the fire was a little weaker, everyone could enter the house, but they found that Bai Yushi's family had ...... It's been dead for a long time. Bai Yushi can barely make out his face, Madame Bai and the little young master have been burned by the fire... Unrecognizable. The disciple replied cautiously.

Qin Keji forced himself to calm down, and asked again, "What did the government say?"

The disciple said: "The deceased has knife wounds on his body, but the wounds are not deep, the perpetrator seems to be martial arts, and the valuable items in the house have been looted, and the government suspects that the surrounding bandits are robbing." ”

Hearing the story of the thieves' robbery, Qin Keji burst into a foul mouth regardless of his image: "Fart! My righteous brother is excellent in martial arts, how can a few thieves kill him, not to mention that the righteous brother has always been honest, how can there be a thief eyeing him!" Then he paused for a moment and asked: "The fire is so big, why don't you see your neighbors come to save it?" Also, has the government ever found out the whereabouts of the murderer?"

The rudder disciple was already restrained, but when he saw him burst into foul language, he was even more frightened, and whispered: "Around...... Several neighbors were also killed, because the murderer's footprints were washed away because of the rain last night. ”

Qin Keji knew that this was not a robbery by a bandit at all, an obvious murder! Deng Shi was sad and angry, and slapped his palm on the stone table in the courtyard, causing the stone chips to fly.

He thought about it for a while, and asked eagerly, "You didn't say what happened to Rose just now, what about the girl, is she still alive?" The disciple said again: "Miss is still alive, but she can't ..... ......" After speaking, the disciple wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"But what!" Qin Keji shouted angrily.

"You'd better see for yourself, Miss Rose was taken over by the helmsman last night. ”

The two of them came to the rudder of the First Sword Sect in Chenliu in parallel, and all the disciples saluted one after another, but Qin Keji ignored it and went straight to the back hall. The helmsman of Chen Liu's rudder followed behind him all the way, and said as he walked: "It's the incompetence of the junior brother, since last night, Miss Bai has refused to eat or speak, and she has no choice but to look for Lang Zhong." ”

Although this helmsman and Qin Keji are the same senior brothers, Qin Keji is the personal disciple of the previous sect master, and his martial arts and status are far above him, so when he sees Qin Keji, he is naturally one step shorter. Qin Keji still didn't answer, and pushed the door in.

At this time, the white rose was like a frightened little beast, curled up in the corner of the bed with her head down, not knowing whether she was asleep or what. Qin Keji walked over and called her softly, Rose didn't look up, Qin Keji called her again before slowly raising her head, the girl's face was pale and bloodless, and a pair of empty eyes stared at Qin Keji.

Qin Keji endured the tears all the way and fell, then opened his arms to hug Rose, and said: "Girl, Daddy is here......" Bai Rose must have recognized her father-in-law, hesitated, and suddenly got into Qin Keji's arms and howled wildly, crying so much that she almost couldn't catch her breath, and fainted after a while.

Even though Qin Keji wanted to instill true qi for the white rose, he was stopped by Lang Zhong who was waiting on the side, and the old man said: "The doll is just a prostration caused by excessive fright and hunger and thirst, Lang Jun's forcible infuse of true qi at this time will only harm the doll, go and prepare some liquid food as soon as possible to feed it, and then prescribe some calming and calming drugs and eat it together." ”

Qin Keji nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Where are the bodies of my righteous brother and his family now?"

"Madame and Ah Lang have already collected the coffin, the coffin is parked in the backyard, and Bai Yushi's body was brought back to the yamen last night, saying that it will be handed over to the person for an autopsy. The helmsman behind him replied.

"Take me to the yamen quickly!"

The two of them came to the Yamen to see him, a white-haired old man over half a hundred years old.

That said: "Bai Yushi has many bruises on his body, which are shocked by the power of his palm, and he should have fought with people before his death, and there is a big injury on his shoulder, which is caused by a sharp weapon, and the murderer is extremely strong, and he directly broke his shoulder blade, but this injury is not fatal." He lifted the white sermon that covered the corpse and said, "Lang Jun, please look here." ”

Qin Keji choked up again when he saw the corpse of his righteous brother, his tiger eyes were red, and Bai Yijing's corpse was still naked at this time, but it had been cleaned by the saline, and he saw that the sternum was seriously dented, and the skin and flesh were eroded as if they had been pierced by countless small sharp weapons.

"Qin has never seen such a method, can the old gentleman know what kind of martial arts it is?"

He said: "This fatal wound is not a fist and foot palm technique at all, if the old man guesses correctly, it is caused by an extremely powerful hidden weapon." As he spoke, he turned the whole body over, and there was a hole the size of a bowl in the back of the corpse!

"This hidden weapon is coming very fast, Bai Yushi may have been hit before he could react, once the hidden weapon enters the human body, it will rotate rapidly, and fly out from behind after penetrating the body, so the front of the corpse is just rotting flesh and skin, but a big hole has been drilled out of the back. The analysis made Qin Keji surprised and sighed.

He lowered his beard and said: "There must be a missing murder weapon within a kilometer of the deceased's body, and the county guard has ordered someone to look for it, and I also ask Qin Gong to wait a little longer, presumably there will be a reply tomorrow." ”

Qin Keji has always been an anxious person, where is he willing to wait until tomorrow, after hugging his fists and thanking him, he hurriedly went out to Bai Yijing's house.

Qin Keji secretly analyzed: "The murderer can use a hidden weapon to injure people like this, either the internal force is extremely high, and the hidden weapon is launched with a strong true qi, or there is a delicate weapon box to urge it." There are only a handful of people in the world who can have this kind of internal strength, and most of them are in the One Sword Sect and the Vientiane Gate, and the brothers and sisters of my One Sword Sect will naturally not be murderers, so they can't be...... But what is the motive for the killing? If the murderer is a martial artist, he relies on the weapon box to launch a hidden weapon...... Listening to the description of the work, it is somewhat similar to the rainstorm pear flower needle of the Shenji Pavilion, and it seems that it is bound to go to the Vientiane Gate and the Shenji Pavilion. ”

Qin Keji, who was walking quickly, suddenly stopped, and he found that someone was following him! At that moment, he quickly got into a small alley, gently turned over the courtyard wall, and quietly waited for the person.

Sure enough, a man in a white robe followed into the alley under the moonlight.

"Wang Ji!" Qin Keji exclaimed in his heart. One of the four elders of the Vientiane Gate, he was naturally no stranger, and he was angry: "Okay! The murderer is really from your Vientiane Gate!"

At the moment, there was no ambiguity, and the long sword behind him was caught casually with internal force, and the cold light flashed, and the blade of the sword reached Wang Ji! When Qin Keji's sword was unsheathed, Wang Ji had already heard the sound, and before the sword could reach a harrier turned over another courtyard wall, before Qin Keji's people arrived, a series of sword qi roared, and one did not fall to the ground where Wang Ji was originally standing, and the ground was shaken to a pop.

Wang Ji gasped, fortunately he flashed early, and shouted: "Qin Keji, what are you crazy about!"

"Kill you for revenge!" Qin Keji saw that he missed a move, his toes tapped the ground, and he slashed head-on. Wang Ji raised his iron sword horizontally above his head and held it off. Qin Keji was in the air, condescending to exert his strength again, the sword was lowered a little, Wang Ji secretly complained that he had to be lucky with all his limbs at the same time, and the bricks and tiles under his feet were trampled to pieces, but he still failed to push Qin Keji away.

At the moment, Qin Keji kicked at the opponent's head with a triple kick, Wang Ji tilted his head back hard, just dodged, and at the same time kicked his feet diagonally on Qin Keji's waist, Qin Keji didn't wait for him to hurt himself, his left palm had already arrived first, and slapped on the opponent's calf, Wang Ji saw that he was about to plant the wall, and hurriedly used a trick "ladder" to see him kick twice on the wall, and turned a few heels in the air by inertia, and fell flutteringly on a pomegranate tree in the courtyard.

There was no ambiguity at the moment, turning into a flash of lightning and stabbing towards Qin Keji.

The two of them went back and forth and got entangled together, Wang Yu's calf was slapped in the face, his actions were quite affected, and the flaws in the lower plate were gradually revealed, and he was finally forced off the wall by Qin Keji's sweep, and fell into the courtyard of the family, stumbling several times in a row, barely standing.

Wang Ji paused for a moment and said, "Stop! You said revenge, who are you avenging?" Bai Yijing?"

Qin Keji said coldly: "You admit it?"

"What do I admit! If you avenge Bai Yijing, what will you do to me!" Wang Yu was also extremely angry when he was beaten madly for no reason, but before leaving, the head of his own family specially instructed himself that he didn't want to cause this unreasonable trouble, so he held back his anger and said: "At noon today, I received a letter from the head of the house, saying that Bai Yushi was killed, and asked me to immediately leave from Qufu to Chen Liu's assistance in investigating this case, and the disciples of the Qufu branch and Chen Liucheng's guards can testify. ”

"My brother-in-law has no friendship with Wang Zhengsu, how could he be so kind to send you to investigate the case?" Qin Keji did not easily believe Wang Shu.

"You don't know what to do with the surname Qin, three days ago, Bai Yushi visited our faction and had a very good conversation with the head of my family, who wanted to be poisoned as soon as he returned home, and the head of the family sent me to prove his innocence. Besides, if I'm really a murderer in Vientiane Gate, I fled last night, so why should I stay in Chen Liucheng in my own clothes?" Wang Ju said indignantly.

Qin Keji's face improved slightly, and he asked again: "If it is really righteous and bright, why are you sneaking after me?"

"I just entered the city, and I was about to go to Bai Yushi's house to investigate, but I didn't know the way, and I just happened to meet you, and I followed you secretly for fear of your suspicion. Wang Yu's face barely squeezed out a smile that he thought was quite kind, and his mustache also shook twice.

Wang Ji's expression made Qin Keji even more displeased, and said sharply: "You and my ancestors have always hated the way of Confucius and Mencius, but you have been in Qufu all the year round, and I will teach you a lesson today." "You don't need a reason to like a person, and there is often no reason to dislike a person, Qin Keji hates Wang Ji for no reason.

Wang Yu took a sip and scolded: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is kind and good-spoken, but you are becoming more and more rampant, have you forgotten that you were beaten in the front end of the Yang competition in the past two months!"

Qin Keji originally just wanted to provoke Wang Ji and force him to do it first, so as to teach him a lesson, but who knew that Wang Ji actually mentioned his most humiliating thing - two months ago, during the Duanyang Festival, the First Sword Sect and the Vientiane Gate martial arts competition, he was unfortunately defeated by Yu Tao, the first master of the Vientiane Gate. Qin Keji also said sarcastically: "I am not good at learning and losing under Yu Tao's Longyang Gong, there is nothing to say, it is better than some fox and fake tiger disciples, and they don't even have the qualifications to compete!"

Wang Ji scolded again, and even if he was about to make a move, at this moment, the helmsman of the First Sword Sect Chen Liu's rudder ran over and shouted: "Senior Brother Qin, please go back to the house first, the female doll is awake." ”

Qin Keji heard that Bai Qiang Rose woke up, and he knew that Wang Ji was not a murderer, so there was no need to entangle him anymore, and left a sentence coldly: "On Huashan, Qin is waiting for you at any time, and then I will ask you for the best tricks of Vientiane Gate!" and then jumped off the high wall and left.
