1. One trick to ask for your life
The remnants of the wind were raging, the leaves were rattling, and the dark clouds overhead were dense, low, and black, as if they were about to collapse, and there was a feeling of crushing people. The moonlight instantly became extraordinarily dim, the air became extremely solemn, and in less than half a moment, the lightning pierced the sky like a sharp knife, and the thunder rumbled and roared wildly, resounding through the sky, shattering the heart, and in an instant, the torrential rain poured down, and the sky and the earth changed from dry to wet, from bright to dark. At this moment, the people in Luoyang City have already fallen asleep and entered their own dreams, the dreams are beautiful scenery and their favorite lovers, who knows that they were awakened by this shocking thunder in an instant and got up and closed the doors and windows before going to sleep.
The night is already pitch black, but the murderous aura and death can add a hellish and bleak atmosphere to it.
To the west of the city, by a river.
I saw a man, with a black cloak, a hat, and black hair up to his waist, standing by the river.
Ten feet away, the masked man, who was also in the same attire, tied his horse to a tree stump and slowly moved towards the man in black, standing on his right side.
With a straight waist and a tall posture, he said sharply: "Death and life are broad, and you are happy with your son." Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”
"Straight lovesickness is useless, and melancholy is madness. I am disgusted by something blunt, turning around and shaking. ”
"After many years, my face is still the same, and my conversation is still so straightforward. After speaking, the man handed over a letter to the masked man, and said: "The task has been clearly explained in the letter, and it must be carried out quickly." ”
Hearing this gentle voice, the masked man must have been a graceful woman, who opened the envelope, flipped through the letter and was silent.
Seeing this, the man said: "After a few years of hard work, the scenery is unlimited, and when I heard the sound on the rivers and lakes, I fled." ”
After looking at the woman carefully, she said, "Why? I haven't done it for a long time, have you forgotten the taste of killing?"
The woman glanced at the other party, as if she was unhappy in her heart, and said helplessly: "Scenery? It's you! After so many years, although you are thousands of miles away, you are still at your mercy, and you are at your mercy." ”
"A short separation is for the sake of being together forever, and all sacrifices are worth it. Besides, if you want scenery, you must follow our plan and reach the peak step by step, which is called scenery at that time. By the way, in a while, I will visit you in person. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the man flew into a small boat in the middle of the river. The woman stood by the river for a long time, looking at the boat that was gradually disappearing into the heavy rain.
——
Two hours later, the two big lions in front of Wan Qi's mansion were dressed in white cloths, and they were staring at the people who were about to die with round eyes.
Inside the Justice Hall.
"Father, what the hell is going on? The palace is tightly guarded, how could the master of the Ziying Pavilion be assassinated? Wan Qiping wondered.
"I don't know, I don't know who did it, but my father has examined the body in detail, and no fatal point has been found. The soldiers are bloodless, and it seems that they have been first-class masters. Now I can only quickly invite Ziqian and Miss Murong to come and investigate. Wan Qiyun held the handle of the Taishi chair with his right hand, showing composure on the surface, but his heart was full of doubts and guilt.
Wan Qiping immediately arranged for his subordinates to hurry up and invite.
"Brother Ziying and his father Jin Lan are friends, and it is a sin to encounter an accident in the mansion today. Wan Qiyun couldn't hide his grief, and he complained to his son bitterly while wiping tears with his wrist sleeve.
"Father, don't be sad. Now after Brother Ziqian and Miss Murong examine the corpse again, they will discuss it. Wan Qiping was full of worry and tried his best to comfort his father.
"That's all I can say, hopefully something. Find out the culprit and avenge my brother. Wan Qicheng expressed his anger in a tough tone.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly......... Everyone in the courtyard could clearly hear the rapid and uninterrupted knocking on the door, Wan Qiping ordered the disciple to hurry up and open the door, only to see a disciple rushing over, kneeling at Wan Qicheng's feet and saying, "Tell the alliance leader, something is wrong." ”
"What's going on?" Wan asked anxiously.
"The wind made the golden wind assassinated in his room. Disciple A said.
In less than an hour, the chief figures of the two major portals of the rivers and lakes were assassinated in their rooms by unknown masters one after another, and the people under one roof did not know it, which was extremely timid, and everyone was thinking about this sudden and major accident.
"Feng Manlou has a strict system of rules, no matter what time there are disciples taking turns to check the gates, and then the wind makes Jin Feng also one of the best masters in the rivers and lakes, how is it possible? Even if the killer with unfathomable martial arts and internal strength is impossible, it is impossible to kill the opponent within one move, and there is no room for resistance. Who the hell is it?", Wan Qiyun said suspiciously.
Listening carefully to the words of the landlord, the wind envoy was killed within one move of the opponent, there were no traces of fighting in the house, and there were no traces left, and there were no signs of deadly concealment and poisoning found on the corpse, and the landlord deduced that the killer must be a hidden master. Because of his rich experience, he has never seen such a clever killing method with his own eyes. Disciple A stated the language of the landlord.
Wan Qian told Disciple A everything that happened in Wan Qi's mansion, and asked him to return to Fengmanlou as soon as possible to tell him about the tragic situation of Cunjin Wanqi's mansion. After this was dealt with, Dinghe Ziqian and Miss Murong went to Fengmanlou to discuss matters. So, the disciple Jia Jishou withdrew and was running towards the gate of Wan Qi's mansion, while Ziqian and Murong Hao were hurrying towards the mansion and passing by disciple Jia. Out of the Wan Qi Mansion, Disciple Jia jumped away, looking from a distance, as if he had been slowly swallowed up by the night.
"Meet the Alliance Leader. The two arched their hands in unison.
"The body is in the guest room, the old man has already checked it, and no trace has been found on the skin, it is intact, and the two of them must be carefully examined. Wan Qiyun stepped forward to help the two door masters and narrated anxiously.
The three of them glanced at each other, knew each other, and stepped into the room. Seeing the corpse of the master of Ziying Pavilion, Ziqian knelt down and said with tears: "Dealing with the public with harmony, being lenient with others, and treating people with forgiveness is the way for Master Zige to get along with people." My master has never made enemies with anyone, who is so vicious to put you to death. ”
"Ziqian mourns!" Wan Qiyun bent forward, bent over and held Ziqian's hands with both hands.
Ziqian hurriedly got up, took Wan Qiyun's hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, now I just need to wait for Miss Murong to carefully inspect it, don't miss any details, find a flaw, and know who did it, so that I can avenge my senior brother." ”
"Don't worry, such a scoundrel will be punished. Miss Murong said with relief.
Murong Hao examined the deceased's head, hands, body, legs and feet and other important parts in detail, and the most important thing was that there were many fatal points on the human body, and no suspicious points were found. This scene made everyone fall into deep thought. For a moment, the room was silent.
"Let's not talk about this matter for a while, bother the two of you, and follow me to Fengmanlou again. Wan Qian said.
"Isn't it?" said in unison.
"Yes. Wan Qicheng said.
"Now the alliance leader must arrange for some disciples to secretly notify the major portals and send people to protect the security of their respective foyers, so as to prevent the murderer from committing another crime. Ziqian analyzed.
"It's been arranged, we have to go. Wan Qian said. Walking to the door, Wan Qiyun turned around and pointed to the room on the left and said, "By the way, Ping'er, take care of the safety in the house, and comfort Miss Shadow with Qing'er and let her mourn." ”
The child knows, and the father is relieved. Wan Qiping walked forward and saluted.
——
The wind is full of white lanterns like Wan Qi Mansion, and the two tigers at the door are also covered with white cloths on their backs, and the door is closed, and the atmosphere is extremely bleak. Ziqian knocked on the door a few times, and a little boy opened the door to lead the way.
"I am here to meet the alliance leader, brothers. An old man with yellow skin and a skeletal shape said, but there was a decisive shrewdness in the eyes of this person. After checking each other, they entered the Golden Wind bedroom, and after careful examination by Ziqian and Murong Qing, the body was intact, and the layout and layout of the room were not found to be displaced, which was exactly the same as everything that happened in Wan Qian Mansion. Suddenly, there was silence in the room.
"There is something that needs to be discussed with you urgently, and I hope that the alliance leader and the hall masters will order the removal of all white cloths as soon as possible. There are two advantages to this: before the murderer is found, he orders the disciples in the hall to keep secrets strictly and not to leak them, so as to avoid causing restlessness and criticism in the rivers and lakes, and even mutual suspicion and secret fighting. If you make a statement, with the current situation, it will be very ineffective for us, and besides, you can't tell the ins and outs of the murderer's murder, and you can't catch the murderer, so you can't explain to the rivers and lakes, but it will affect yourself. The second is from now on, standing still, so that the murderer is overwhelmed, the goal cannot be achieved, and the murderer is irritable and will definitely commit murder again. And we all have to be prepared to arrest the murderer and wait for the rabbit. I saw a young and beautiful girl say methodically.
"Who is this?" Ziqian asked.
"Under the new Feng envoy Jin Yao, Jin Feng is my sister. Jin Yao said respectfully.
"New?"
"My sister Ben and Chen Gongzi got married, and with the consent of the landlord, she quit Fengmanlou and prepared to live an ordinary life, but can you?"
"I see, it's a shame. But the girl had a point. What do you think of this method?" Wan said.
"Do a good job of waiting for the rabbit to be deployed, and wait for the thief to be caught. Murong He, who was standing next to Jin Feng, repeated.
"How do we arrange this?" asked Cunjin.
Murong Hao replied after repeated reflection: "In this way, there will be one person in each of the hallways where the accident occurred, who will be responsible for the secret investigation, and then discuss it if there is a situation." ”
Ziqian added: "Each entrance hall should also be inspected in shifts, and if there is any abnormality, immediately report to your door owner, pavilion owner, building owner or master." ”
After discussing with each other, it was finally decided to arrange Ziqian, Jin Yao and Murong Hao to secretly investigate the matter, and report directly to Wan Qiancheng if there was any progress. Then, they left.
The alliance leader assigned Ziqian to rush back to Wan Qian's mansion like thunder and lightning, and arranged for the removal of all white cloths inside and outside the mansion, and restored the layout of the mansion and the mansion to its original appearance.
The next day, the eyeliner was arranged to be distributed in the Confucius Pavilion, Fengmanlou, Linhai, Remnants and other places, and after three days, there was still no progress in the secret search.
