054-Phoenix Thunder (II)

The place where Tang Lichuan found Feng Tongyi was not far from the location of the land temple, and it was not far from a small hill to be seen. There was still a fire in that land temple. Gao Guan is also a person who has seen the world, and the blood under the horse's hooves has flowed all the way to the land temple, and the corpses at the door are almost all killed in one move. And they have been dead for a short time, and the blood is still flowing outward. He jumped over the corpses and looked into the temple, only to see that there were blood stains everywhere on the four walls of the temple and the treasure statues. Gao Guan swallowed and didn't dare to enter again, because the temple was small, but there were more than 20 corpses inside, and there was no place to put his feet at all. When he came out, he saw a carriage parked under the east wall, and the carriage was hung with the banner of the Fengxian Sect.

Gao Guan returned to Tang Lichuan's side and said, "Lend me the snake royal to use, and I'll go to the town in front to report the case." ”

The land temple couldn't go back, so Tang Lichuan took the people to the village in front. Startled, the dog barked, and Gao Guan was close to knocking on the door and shouting. The owner of the house was a young couple, and they thought it was the same people who had borrowed the pot before, and when the man opened the door, Gao Guan said that he was disturbing late at night, and that he had a friend who was a little injured and wanted to borrow their place to rest, and it was better to boil some water or something. and pay him some silver that he took out from Tang Lichuan.

The other party was also interested, and thought it was those Jianghu people again, so he woke up his wife to boil water. When Tang Lichuan came in with Feng Tongyi in his arms, they were really frightened, but they didn't dare to provoke them. Gao Guan watched them go in before calling the man out and asking him if he had heard anything. As a result, the other party said, isn't this thundering all the time?

Gao Guan glanced at him and said, "Go, call the men of your village to the Land Temple to guard it, there are dead people." Finally, he pulled his knife and said to the man, "See, if someone appears in the Land Temple like this, you will run!"

Gao Guan rode his horse for nearly two hours before running to Xianhua Town. The highest-ranking official in the town is the criminal prosecutor Yin, who is in charge of murder and arson, called Zhu Huizeng. Gao Guan inquired in front of a morning tea shop and went straight to Zhu's house, Xianhua Town is a peaceful place, people often go to bed early and get up late. Gao Guan shouted for a long time before a porter came to open the door, but he was still stunned, and scolded Gao Guan and told him to get out of here and not disturb him sleeping. Gao Guan kicked the door open with an angry kick, raised his knife and said, "Call out your family's Zhu Yin matter!"

The head of Zhu Huizeng's head hunt is his nephew named Zhu Sihua, who is not a few years older than Tang Lichuan. He was very excited when he heard that something big had happened, so he put on his official uniform and put on his weapons and called his men to set off together, but it took half an hour before and after, and their horses were old and weak, and it was almost noon when they returned to the land temple again.

Tang Lichuan didn't close his eyes all night, and Feng Tongyi also washed his body and didn't sleep peacefully until it was almost dawn. Tang Lichuan also had blood on his body, and he didn't have a chance to change it. When the village man saw Gao Guan coming back, he ran to Tang Lichuan to report. Tang Lichuan came out to see that Gao Guan had already dismounted and drank water from the well. Zhu Sihua was looking around and said, "What? It's such a small place, and there are people killed?" Hey, what's the matter with you?" he pointed to the blood on Tang Lichuan's body.

Tang Lichuan reported his name in the past, and said: "The villagers said that they heard someone moaning (harmonious) and rescued one person, who was the wife and brother of Mr. Feng, the young master of the Fengxian Sect, named Yi Xingbei. A doctor in the village saw it and said that it would not be easy to save the life, and that he should be sent to the town as soon as possible for treatment. ”

Gao Guan listened and asked where the people were placed now, and Tang Lichuan said that it was outside the Land Temple. In the past, there were still a bunch of children surrounded by the walls of the land temple, and the parents in the family didn't leave no matter how much they shouted, and when they saw Zhu Sihua, they were dressed in a majestic manner and shouted that a general was coming.

Yi Xingbei was carried by the villagers to the east wall, and Tang Lichuan said that he was found with a wound to his throat, as if he had been stabbed by something small, but it did not hurt his throat. The other place was on the waist, and he fainted from excessive bleeding. The important thing is that when they found him, the wounds on his body were obviously treated, and he was given medicine to stop the bleeding.

Zhu Sihua covered his mouth and nose and said: "Two brothers, the murderer is not simple, more than 30 people almost all died in the temple, the action is fast enough!"

Gao Guan said: "So if you have the ability to take the murderer, you can also be regarded as famous!"

"Wait! The master is going to investigate this case!"

Gao Guan sighed twice, Zhu Sihua turned his head and vomited for a while, and one of his brothers ran over and whispered to him for a while. Tang Lichuan and Gao Guan walked to the entrance of the temple to check, Zhu Sihua shouted again and ran to shout: "Hey, two elder brothers, is this dead person really the young master of the Phoenix Immortal Sect?" When he said this, his face turned white, and he was sweating in a hurry.

Gao Guan pointed to the carriage and said, "No, there is the banner of their Phoenix Immortal Sect on it, look at it yourself." ”

It is said that the reason why Zhu Sihua is suddenly so afraid is because the Baixian River in Xianhua Town flooded ten years ago and flooded most of Xianhua Town. At that time, Emperor Chengwu also included the current Wucheng Mansion as a court, and many official matters were not dealt with, including floods, and no officials reported to the heavens. At that time, Feng Lang, the head of the Fengxian Sect, took the gong to help the disaster, and after the water receded, he contributed money and efforts to build fourteen bridges on the Baixian River, so Feng Lang's status in the hearts of the people of Xianhua Town was very high. What Zhu Sihua cares about is that if Feng Lang's son Feng Chang Gongzi was really killed by an unknown person near Xianhua, then this matter would be really inappropriate.

After hearing this, Gao Guan touched his beard and said: "What's wrong, it's not the person you killed, it's a big deal to build an ancestral hall for him, what are you afraid of." ”

Zhu Sihua stared and couldn't speak. Gao Guan didn't pay attention to it, but took Tang Lichuan to the temple. When he first followed the mysterious man here, he only paid attention to the smell of blood, and did not pay attention to the footprints on the dirt outside. After the wind and sun during the day, the part of the blood mixed with the soil has already dried up, and because of the rescue of Yixingbei, the outside has been trampled by the villagers, and it is even more difficult to see the reason at this time. On the contrary, there are traces of being deliberately buried at the back door of the temple. Tang Lichuan said that when he came to see Yixingbei, he asked that these were not done by the villagers, and if it were not for the murderers, I am afraid it would not make sense. Sweeping away the sand above, I saw that there were bloody footprints underneath, because they had been destroyed, they could only barely be seen as footprints, but they were completely indistinguishable from several people.

Those footprints were parked on the carriage on the east wall, Zhu Sihua jumped on the car and looked, there were four or five boxes of different sizes in it, the top one was opened, and when it was opened, there was a pure gold painted azalea hairpin, and the rest of the boxes were all tea and porcelain. Gao Guan only glanced at it and said: "The Feng family is really a family background! This is a first-class kiln in Wucheng Mansion, and it is a tribute!"

Zhu Sihua gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Gao has good eyesight!

Gao Guanzheng looked back at Tang Lichuan, who was deep in thought, and asked him what he was thinking, Tang Lichuan stared at the back window and said, "The murderer entered through this back door, right?" Therefore, the dead mostly gathered in the temple, and the people outside the door also ran towards the temple. Whoever is to blame for this is the ability to kill people like this.

After the corpse was cleaned up, Zhu Sihua said that at least send it to Xianhua to let him take a look twice, and then arrange for people to go to Fengnei Sect to inform him, and they could also escort the corpse on the road. The three of them were discussing, Tang Lichuan looked back, not far away Feng Tongyi walked over with his hair scattered, and before he approached the temple door, he fell to the ground and cried.

Tang Lichuan ran over first and shouted, "Miss Feng". Zhu Sihua heard it and looked around and asked, "That's Feng Lao's daughter?"

Feng Tongyi was followed by a woman who was embarrassed: "Son, the slave family can't stop this young lady, she insists on coming here." ”

Tang Lichuan didn't say much, Feng Tongyi was still pale, and his eyes were red and swollen. Tang Lichuan felt that she was pitiful, and he couldn't bear to let her stay here for a while, so he got up, picked her up, and sent her back to the farmhouse. Feng Tongyi only had a small wound on his body, but even after cleaning it last night, it still smelled of blood. Tang Lichuan put her down and poured some warm tea for her to drink, but Feng Tongyi's palm was shaking, and he couldn't even hold the bowl. Tang Lichuan bent down and fed some tea, thought about it and only said, "Please don't be too sad." Turning his head, Feng Tongyi's eyes were swirling with tears, and his long eyelashes were glued together.

"Miss Feng......" Tang Lichuan shouted worriedly.

Feng Tongyi choked up and asked, "Have you ever killed someone?"

Tang Lichuan didn't dare to look her eyes, he turned around and brought the tea bowl to the table before slowly saying, "No." ”

"Do you think that the person who killed someone will be able to sleep?" she wiped her tears and snot with her sleeve, the sobbing sound continued, but at least she tried to control her fear.

"I don't know. ”

Feng Tongyi raised her hand uncontrollably to cover her face, and the big tears still rolled down from between her fingers, and the whining cry was heartbreaking. Tang Lichuan didn't know how to comfort her now, turned his head to look at Feng Tongyi, he was anxious but didn't know how to speak, and then turned his head to look outside the door, full of sadness.

"I want to go home. She said suddenly, the sobbing sound was not real. Tang Lichuan got up again and asked, she wiped her nose and said, "I want to go home immediately, I want to go home!"

When the group of them arrived in Xianhua Town, Zhu Huizeng had even invited the Taoist priest who had done the work, and was still discussing how to do it for a few days, whether to do it in the East Xianhua or go to the West Xianhua. And the people who went to Fengxian Sect to deliver the letter had already set off, and it would take two days to run to Fengxian Sect at the earliest, and in these two days, they had to first determine the situation in Yixingbei, and they could save one. When Zhu Sihua was disappointed and explained things to his uncle, Zhu Huizeng's face was even more ugly than his.

In the evening of the same day, Tang Lichuan took Feng Tongyi by Gao Guan to Xianhua's mansion. Zhu Sihua wanted to find an opportunity to be almost concerned about Feng Tong's clothes but couldn't find a gap, he asked Gao Guan: "What's the matter? Who is that brother Miss Feng?" Gao Guan pushed him and said, "You still need to ask!"

When he arrived at Xianhua, he was personally greeted by Zhu Huizeng, and together with the doctors who wanted it, they lined up in a queue and waited for Yixingbei to be treated. The people in the town were still wondering what kind of noble person was coming, and they let their Lord Zhu go out to greet them in person. It turned out to be a few ox carts pulling the corpses.
