Wen Cheng struck three times and twice, got dressed, grabbed the treasure knife, and took Xiao Duo'er into the carriage and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

When Wencheng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, it had been isolated by soldiers and hunters. Some of the people gathered outside the soldiers, pointing at the city lord's mansion, not knowing what they were talking about.

Wen Cheng jumped out of the carriage and walked straight towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Someone who knew Wencheng quickly put him in, and Wencheng saw his father's figure when he went in and walked to him.

"What happened to Dad?"

Wen Linfeng turned around and looked at Wen Cheng with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Uncle Xu's family is all gone. ”

Wen Linfeng and Xu Chenghui are old friends, and the two are about to get married, how can such a thing suddenly happen, how can Wen Linfeng not be sad?

It is really the city lord's family that has an accident, who is so bold as to dare to attack the lord of a city? You must know that the city lord represents the face of the imperial court, and killing the entire family of the city lord is simply throwing the face of the imperial court on the ground and stepping on it a few times.

"What about Xu Miao?"

Wencheng immediately asked Xu Miao how she was, whether she was also killed.

"Miss Xu is still alive, but ...... She's crazy. A young catcher said beside Wencheng.

Wen Cheng heard that Xu Miao was still alive, and he was happy in his heart, but when he heard that she was crazy, his eyes were dark, followed by a monstrous anger, and his eyes instantly turned blood-red. Xu Miao is one of the few women who can make his heart move, and she is also a woman who promised to marry him, such a woman, a man may not be able to meet one in his life, although it is only a few days, but Xu Miao already has weight in Wencheng's heart.

His own woman was actually driven crazy by someone, how could this not make him angry?

Wen Cheng had red eyes and turned his head to look at the head catcher beside him.

"Where is she? Take me. ”

The head catcher led Wencheng to a remote room, where there were two servants guarding the door. It seems that it is the person arranged by the government, although Xu Miao is crazy, but after all, she is the daughter of the former city lord, and the government will try its best to arrange her so that her reputation will not be damaged.

"Miss Xu can't see people now, she yells when she sees people, and only when she is alone in the room, will she be quieter. ”

"Open the door. ”

The two servants looked at each other hesitantly, and it was not until the head catcher nodded that they opened the door.

Wen Cheng stepped into the room, this was an empty room, there was nothing in it. Xu Miao's cloak curled up in the corner, covered in dirt. A heroic and powerful woman, it has only been a few days before she has become like this, and Wen Cheng felt a pain in her heart, as if she had been stabbed by someone.

As soon as he saw someone coming in, he immediately shouted, "Don't come, don't come......"

Wen Cheng ignored Xu Miao's shouting, his face was dissatisfied with the frost, and he walked over directly to grab Xu Miao, and his internal qi shook the back of her neck slightly, knocking her out. Stretched out his hand to pick up Xu Miao, and walked outside.

Wen Cheng put Xu Miao next to him, handed it over to Duo'er who rushed to take care of it, and got up and stood beside Wen Linfeng.

"Dad, who did it, did you find out?"

Wen Linfeng cheered up and said to Wen Cheng.

"Nope. I heard from the people in the government that Brother Xu's family had an accident last night, but none of the people around him heard any movement last night. Still this morning, someone saw that the soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city lord's mansion were gone, and they reported to the official when they found that something was wrong, but after the people from the official mansion came, they found that the city lord's entire family, including the soldiers standing guard, were all killed. ”

quietly destroyed the city lord's mansion, and even the soldiers guarding outside did not let go, who had the ability.

Wen Cheng's first thought was to guard himself and steal, but in an instant he took the thought out of his mind. The soldiers guarding the city lord's mansion are all sent by the garrison outside the city, and the general of the garrison outside the city is his uncle Wen Linqi, and the wife married by his uncle is the sister of the city lord Xu Chenghui.

Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Wen Linqi walked in from outside with a burst of armor. Wen Linqi's eyes were also red, and when he heard the news, he was still in the barracks outside the city. This news was like a bolt from the blue for him, he didn't dare to let his wife know about it, so he quickly blocked the news, and then rushed over as soon as possible, but he was a little far away and arrived a little late.

"Big brother, Brother Xu, he ......"

"Uncle. ”

Wen Linqi grabbed Wen Linfeng's hand and said in a deep voice, "I have closed the whole city, and I am not allowed to enter or leave, I want to see who is so bold, even if I turn over Iron Mountain City, I will find them out." ”

The city lord was killed, and the heads of the rooms, divisions, and halls of the Yamen of Tieshan City naturally did not dare to slack off, and it didn't take long for all of them to gather in the City Lord's Mansion. Among the officials present, Wen Linqi's official position was the highest, he was at the same level as the city lord, and everyone else was one and a half levels lower than him. Moreover, there is no saying that the civil officials suppress the military attachés in the Great Yuan Court, and the city is in charge of government affairs on weekdays, and the generals are in charge of emergencies and battles.

Now that the city lord of Iron Mountain City is gone, and there is such a thing as the city lord being destroyed, Wen Linqi now has the right to control everything in Iron Mountain City.

Wen Linqi waited until all the principals had arrived, and then ordered in a deep voice, "The army cooperates with the county lieutenant to arrest quickly, check the outsiders door to door, dare to resist and kill directly, even if the Iron Mountain City is turned over, the murderer of the city lord must be found." ”

"Order!"

"Stay in prison, and the others will do their jobs, so step down. ”

......

Wen Cheng didn't care about his uncle's arrangement, looking at the corpses carried out from each room, Wen Cheng stepped forward.

The corpses were placed in the courtyard one by one, and those who had not yet arrived were hurriedly covered with white cloths. Wen Cheng looked at a corpse at his feet, a young soldier in leather armor, whom he did not recognize. The soldier's face was pale and bloodless, and his leather armor and clothes were soaked, as if he had been fished out of water.

As soon as Wen Cheng came to these corpses, he felt a very heavy yin qi, and his current internal cultivation could be regarded as having achieved something, and he was also more sensitive to all kinds of breaths. According to common sense, the person who just died last night should not have Yin Qi so soon, and even if Yin Qi is generated, it will be after being buried in the cemetery.

But Wen Cheng felt a yin qi emanating from these corpses, could it be that this was not man-made, but a ghost killing people? Wen Cheng had a bad premonition in his heart.

Several coroners were examining the pile of corpses, hoping to find some clues.

Wen Cheng walked over to an old coroner and asked.

"Any clues?"

"Xiao Lao'er has seen Gongzi Wen, and he has made no valuable discoveries, and the deaths of these people are very strange. ”

"What's this strange method?"

The old coroner pondered for a moment before he said, "On the surface, these people were drowned, but the water came from the city lord's mansion at night, and there is no trace of flooding here. Many people died in their beds, and there was not even a single water stain on the bed except for the one where the person was lying down. ”

Drowning in the water in bed? This strange way of dying, Wen Cheng suddenly became more sure of what he thought in his heart.

"And, Childe ......"

The old man stopped talking.

"What's wrong? ”

Wen Cheng was already full of anger in his heart, and when he saw the old man cowering, he thought he was hiding something.

"The son is angry, but the little old man doesn't know how to talk about it. Xiao Lao'er is just guessing, and he is not sure. ”

Wen Cheng's anger calmed down a little, and he said in a deep voice.

"Listen to it, I don't blame you for making a mistake. ”

"Childe, little old man doesn't think these people are drowning in water. ”

"Make it clear. ”

"Yes, Childe. Xiao Lao'er found that the color on these people's faces was wrong. Although the face of the dead will be pale, the face of the drowned person will be gray after death because of the struggle before death. But Childe, you can see that the faces of these people are as white as if they are transparent. ”

Wen Cheng looked carefully at the corpses pointed out by the old man, and sure enough, as he said, the faces of these corpses were very white, and there was no gray feeling at all.

"Childe, I suspect that after being flooded, these people didn't wait for drowning before they died, and they don't know why they lost all the blood in their bodies and died. ”

"Died of bloodshed? Do you have a way to prove it?"

The old man pulled out a slender silver needle from his bosom. "Childe, please see, this silver needle is a special hollow core silver needle. When a person dies, the blood will contract towards the heart, and if you prick the heart to see if there is any blood, you can know whether the person drowned or died of blood loss. ”

Wencheng took the silver needle and put it in front of him to take a closer look, and sure enough, this thing is finely made, and it is said that the silver needle is actually a small silver tube.

After the old man gave the silver needle to Wen Cheng, he smirked on the side, and didn't even take the silver needle handed over by Wen Cheng.

In the blink of an eye, Wencheng understood why the old man was like this.

This is an era in which the deceased are the most important, and it is also an era in which 'the parents of the body and skin should not be abandoned'. Destroying other people's bodies is a taboo thing, and this old man does not dare to do it.

There is no problem for Wencheng to do it, he and Xu Miao are unmarried couples, they are relatives, and the future affairs of the city lord's family still need the Wen family to settle. In order to find out the truth, prick it with a silver needle, it is not a big problem, and it will pass with one eye closed to oneself.

Wen Cheng did not hesitate, and directly pierced the silver needle in the chest of a subordinate, penetrated deep into the heart, and pulled it back and put it in his hand to take a look. Sure enough, as the old man said, there was not even a trace of blood in this thin tube.

Wencheng handed the silver needle to the old man.

The old man looked through it several times.

"Childe, it seems that Xiao Lao'er did not guess wrong, the real cause of death of this person was death from blood loss, not drowning. ”

"Do you know what caused it?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "Childe is embarrassed by the little old man, it is bizarre enough for these people to drown in bed." Now he can't even find the reason for his death from blood loss, and there is not even a drop of blood at the scene, and the little old man is really powerless. ”

There is a specialization in the art industry, this old man has been performing an autopsy all his life, and he can't find the cause of blood loss, and Wencheng can't find it.

Wencheng didn't continue to embarrass him, "Report it truthfully." ”

"Yes, Childe. ”

Wen Cheng returned to his father's side after speaking, Wen Cheng is not good at finding clues, and continuing to stay here will do nothing other than interfering with these professional coroners.

Seeing that his father suffered physical and mental pain and a huge blow to his spirit because of the misfortune suffered by his old friend City Lord's family, Wen Cheng felt very uncomfortable. If the murderer is a human being, the Wen family and the garrison will definitely be able to find out the murderer and take revenge. But Wen Cheng was worried that the murderer was those weird things, if this was the case, I am afraid that the uncle's lockdown would have no effect, and it would be difficult to find the murderer by ordinary means.

The lord of a city can be easily destroyed, and the danger of this world makes Wencheng feel alarmed. This is simply not taking the face of the court in his eyes, or perhaps the strength of the Great Yuan Court is limited, and it is not enough to protect ordinary people.

Since the imperial court is unreliable, the lives of his family members still have to rely on his own martial arts.

Wen Cheng didn't know how to comfort his father, so he could only say softly: "Dad, you have to take care of your health, Uncle Xu's family still needs you to worry about the future." ”
