Xiao Lie and the others were shocked when they heard this: "Are they so fast?" said to the soldiers who reported the news: "I know, you go and tell the instructor of the military field of the school, don't destroy the scene, we will go over." ”

After the soldiers left, Xiao Lie continued: "Senior Brother Yin, you and Brother Nangong will help me send Old Man Qian in a while, and Brother Zhao and I will go to the school military field to see what is going on, and we will continue to talk when we come back." ”

He hugged his fist at the old man Qian Jin and said: "Old man, we really don't have a moment of peace, and the juniors can't send you off, Mr. Qian, take care of yourself, and the juniors will retire first." After taking a few steps back, he and Zhao Haiquan walked to the military field of the Duwei Army.

When I came to the school military field, I saw two corpses hanging upside down with their upper bodies shirtless. Both of them were the chief flag officers of the Metropolitan Guard, and they had seven or eight knife wounds on their bodies, their skin and flesh turned out, and their knives were very scary. Xiao Lie nodded and called the instructor on duty and asked, "When did you find out?"

The instructor on duty replied respectfully: "After lunch, when the guard was changed, there was no one at the gate, and I saw it when a foot soldier went up to the thatched house. ”

"Did anything unusual happen before?" Xiao Lie asked a foot soldier to remove the two corpses from the gate. Squatting on the ground and looking at the wounds on their bodies, the fatal wounds of the two bodies were in the same position, both of them were killed by severing their tracheas after being stabbed several times. And judging from the direction of the wound, the murderer should have used a two-handed knife. The wound was not torn twice, proving that the murderer's knife skills were quite fast, and the two chief flag officers died without any reaction.

"Back to the deputy commander, I found that nothing unusual happened to the two of them before. At noon, the two brothers were still eating with their brothers, and when they were on rotation, they said they would come out to check if there were any loopholes, and when they saw them, it was the scene in front of them. ”

Zhao Haiquan turned over a corpse and found that a silver needle was found on the back of this person. The silver needle had already sunk into the flesh, and if it weren't for the bright spots shining out of the sun, no one would have been able to find it. Zhao Haiquan used a dagger to pick out the silver needle, this silver needle is like a needle used in acupuncture, and the top is a big head, and it is the reflection of this big head that makes Zhao Haiquan aware it.

Zhao Haiquan took the silver and said to Xiao Lie: "The problem has been found, it seems that it should not be the murderer's fast knife skills, but this silver needle sealed the acupoints of the two of them, so that the two of them did not resist." It can still be judged that the murderer's light skills and the use of hidden weapons are quite outstanding, which is the situation when they didn't notice anything, and the two were killed. People who use double knives and are good at fighting hidden weapons, it seems that there is no one in Kanto Province who has this style of acting. Why did this man kill the two of them and hang them in such a conspicuous place?"

"This is clearly a demonstration, provoking the bottom line of our Duwei Mansion. It must have something to do with the evil spirits, only their motives are the most obvious. Xiao Lie beckoned and called the instructor over: "You find a few people, bury them well, use good wood to make longevity materials, and then pay one hundred taels of silver from the account room as a pension to distribute to their families." If the old man in the family is not able to work, he will take one tael from my salary every month, and if the situation of both of them is like this, he will take two taels from me, one tael per person, although it is not much, but it is more or less the same meaning. By the way, there is also a little heart of the Duwei Mansion for the elderly who are unable to work, so let the brothers who are not in charge of their jobs change shifts every day to do some work for them. Xiao Lie stood up and flicked the dust off his body.

The instructor looked embarrassed and squeezed out the word 'line' from between his teeth. Xiao Lie asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, looking at what you mean, it seems that there is some difficulty? It's not your money that is spent, it's your cramping appearance." ”

"Deputy Commander Shi, you misunderstood what I meant. I'm sorry for you. Of the total of thirty-five stones per month, you have already divided twenty stones, and even the commander-in-chief has only fifteen stones left, and you have to give them out. Our brother is still saying in private, if this continues, I am afraid that you two adults will have nothing left. Seeing that Xiao Lie had misunderstood what he meant, the instructor immediately explained.

Zhao Haiquan looked at Xiao Lie differently and said, "I really didn't see it, you and Yin Xuesong treat these soldiers so well." Even Brother Nangong and I have to be out of reach. ”

"What's the matter, after all, the two of us have so much money, it's nothing to divide it, not to mention that the two of us don't point to the court's life, so we don't pay too much attention to it. Most of these sergeants are from poor families, and when they become soldiers, they live with their heads tied to their belts, and if they don't treat them well, then what's the point of being a soldier. Xiao Lie said to Zhao Haiquan with an indifferent expression.

He turned around and said to the instructor: "Wait a minute, there is nothing left between me and Yin Xuesong, you are telling us, and the two of us will be trying to figure out a way when the time comes." Now that there are so many left, you don't have to worry about us, just do what I just said. ”

The instructor on duty bowed to Xiao Lie and said gratefully: "It is really an honor for my subordinates to meet two adults in this life, and all the brothers of the Duwei Army should go all out to defend the safety of the people in Kanto Province." From now on, our subordinates should take adults as an example, not to be comparable, but to be secondary. ”

Xiao Lie waved his hand: "Okay, don't make this useless." Hurry up, don't let the two of them lie here, hurry up and put them in the coffin, so that the leaves can return to their roots. After speaking, he and Zhao Haiquan walked back to Duwei Mansion.

After returning to the meeting hall, seeing that Nangong Junzhe and Yin Xuesong had already sent away Old Man Qian, he sat down and rubbed his forehead, and said to the two of them: "What the hell are you afraid of, the more you are afraid of accidents, the more you will have accidents, I really want to find Master Liu to calculate for us, is it something wrong, why do you just carry it like this." ”

Nangong Junzhe took a bowl of tea and put it on the table in Xiao Lie's hand: "No way, it's all fate, even if Lord Liu tells us the cause and effect, it will be different because of the change of fortune." You just put your mind at ease, what else do we have to be afraid of now, as long as we can take revenge, the rest is outside the body, and our own safety doesn't matter. ”

"Don't let your sister-in-law listen to this, or I'll have to scold you to death. If she is so irresponsible, she can only say it to our brother, and it will be very sad for her to know. Zhao Hai said to Nangong Junzhe solemnly.

Nangong Junzhe had a relaxed expression: "Isn't this what our own brother said when he closed the door and nagged me, if I really let her hear this, I guess she will have to peel off this layer of skin on my body." Then Nangong Junzhe said to Xiao Lie with a serious face: "What happened to the school military field?"

Xiao Lie took a sip of tea and said to him: "The two chief flag officers who died were killed by a person who was good at wielding two knives and could use hidden weapons. ”

"And the light skill is extremely good, and he can do it quietly in the heavily guarded school military field, so it is conceivable that this person's light skill is not ordinarily high. Zhao Haiquan added.

"The main thing is, I don't even have any clues, I can't check it, my head hurts, if it was done by someone from the ghost army, it is impossible to leave nothing. Xiao Lie said with a distressed expression.

"This is really troublesome, can you find some clues from these two dead chief flag officers? For example, go to the City God Temple to find the souls of these two people and ask. After a little thought, Yin Xuesong said to the three of them.

Yin Xuesong's words made everyone's eyes light up, and Xiao Lie suddenly realized and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of going to the City God Temple to ask, let me rest, and I'll go after a drink." ”

At this time, Xing Hao walked in from outside with a piece of paper in his hand, shook the paper in his hand and said to the four people in the house: "There is no need to go to the Chenghuang Yamen, just now I found this letter on the tree in the courtyard, and it was also shot in with an arrow." ”

"Oh, what's written on it?" the four men surrounded Xing Hao in the middle, and reached out to look at the letter in his hand.

Xiao Lie felt that it was very troublesome to look at it this way, so he snatched the letter paper into his hand, looked up and down a few times, and then said to them: "What kind of place is this Dulong Village? Why did he say that the debts we owe must be repaid by ourselves, what does this mean? What is the sentence in heaven and earth?" Xiao Lie passed the letter paper in his hand to Yin Xuesong, and then asked with a blank face.

It was written on the letterhead: "While your frustration has not passed, I am adding a gift to you, the two chief flag officers who died just now were done by my people from Dulongzhai, and our accounts will be settled one by one from today." The debts you owe should also be repaid, aren't you afraid that you won't sleep well?"

"Dulong Village...... Dulong Village ...... Why is it so familiar, where have you heard it?" Nangong Junzhe heard these three words, and walked back and forth in the room, his head was running rapidly, searching for the three words of Dulongzhai in his inextricable memory.

Seeing Nangong Junzhe behaving like this, several people focused their eyes on him. Not only him, but Zhao Haiquan also said thoughtfully: "Don't say it, I seem to have heard of this place in Dulong Village, and ...... And it seems that I have dealt with them again, but I can't remember what it is. ”

These people put their last hope on Nangong Junzhe, and the more anxious they were, the more chaotic the things in their minds became. It's like a knotted thread, and the look of disappointment jumps on the face. frowned, thumped his hands, shook his head from time to time, and nodded from time to time, and everyone who watched was dazed.

Nangong Junzhe suddenly stopped, and the boss with open eyes said to them, "I remembered." ”
