Chapter 281: Planting
Gu Shenwei picked up a piece of wood on tiptoe and kicked it towards the pillar a few steps away.
The lotus leaf pounced suddenly, and when Gu Shenwei waited for him to pass by him, he stabbed out, then raised his left hand and slashed at the monk's thick neck.
He had only learned superficial acupoint kung fu, and he didn't dare to use it on a master of internal strength like Lotus Ye, so he could only stab the opponent and then stun him.
In the room, Lianhua's corpse was lying on the bed, half of his face was stained with blood, which made the always kind monk a little hideous.
There was a pool of dark blood at the door, and a small incense burner was lying in the bloodstains, this was the murder scene and the murder weapon.
Master Lianhua had not been dead for a long time, and the black blood flag planted on the courtyard wall clearly indicated that the murderer wanted to blame the Dragon King.
Gu Shenwei found two pieces of rope in the utility room next to the main hall, tied up the two fainting monks separately, threw the temple master back to the bedroom, and the lotus leaf was taken to the lotus heart's bed.
Lotus Ye woke up quietly, stared at the Dragon King, and muttered, "Why? Why did you kill Senior Brother?" ”
"Are your eyes well?" Gu Shenwei aimed the narrow knife in his hand at the monk's chest to prevent him from suddenly breaking through the rope.
"My eyes?" Lotus Ye seemed to forget that she had been blind for a while, and thought for a while before saying, "My eyes are fine, what are you doing when you come back? ”
"There's a black blood flag on the wall, do I still need to extinguish it?"
"You, you......" Lianye's mind was a little confused, "Then what are you doing when you come back?"
"I just arrived, and I didn't kill Master Lianhua. ”
"It's you!" Lotus Ye roared angrily, her body straightened, and the rope tied to her body made a crisp sound of breaking, but it also affected the knife wound on her waist, and she couldn't help but scream.
"I don't want to kill you, but you'd better not move. Gu Shenwei pressed the narrow knife tightly against the monk's chest, "Tell me what is going on." ”
"What's the matter, you came to see Senior Brother, Senior Brother is very happy, please come into the house to talk, let me stay outside, but...... But...... If you don't say a word, you actually stoned your senior brother to death......" Lianye was too sad and angry in the end, and stood up again, and was not afraid of the tip of the knife stabbing on his body.
Gu Shenwei withdrew the narrow knife slightly, "Did you see me at that time?"
"See. ”
"But you were blind. ”
"I ...... I was blind when I saw my brother killed, and I was so excited that I was fine when you first came, and I saw that you could see it clearly, exactly like you are now. Dragon King, Yang Huan, I won't let you go, and the Four Noble Truths will not let you go. There are many masters in the world, don't think that you are as good as you have been in Jinpeng Castle. ”
The more the monk spoke, the more excited he became, and Gu Shenwei slapped him in the mouth with the blade of the knife, "Did you hear me speak at that time?"
The monk was stunned for a moment, "What kind of tricks are you playing? You are talking to your senior brother, how dare I eavesdrop?"
"Didn't you see 'me'? 'I' didn't talk to you?"
Lianye became more and more confused, and her voice gradually weakened, "No, you nod at me, I recognize you, so I call Senior Brother out." ”
Gu Shenwei took a step back, "Tell me something else, what's going on with Lianhua's **? How can you be willing to give a liar?"
"Senior brother is not a liar!" Lotus Ye roared again, breaking the rope with a clatter, his body barely moved, and the person had already rushed in front of the killer.
The killer moved faster than him, and as soon as the monk said the first word, Gu Shenwei had already jumped out of the room and jumped out of the wall.
This was an elaborate frame-up.
Gu Shenwei was deeply disturbed, what he was afraid of was not that he was wrongfully murdered, but that the designer was obviously familiar with his appearance and knew all his whereabouts, and even knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he was able to kill Lianxin in front.
This must have been the work of a former acquaintance.
Gu Shenwei had several candidates in mind, but none of them had a sufficient motive to kill the lotus leaf: the enemies on the Henu's side were Jinpeng Fort and the Dragon King, and had nothing to do with the monk;
The thought of the possible hidden watchers around him made Gu Shenwei feel uneasy.
He circled the deserted streets of the northern city for several times, like a ghost who appeared on a moonlit night, searching for his lost limb.
Several times he abruptly turned back the same way, only to find nothing, and the watcher seemed to be invisible, if there was one.
Before dawn, the news of the death of the holy monk Lianhua had spread all over Biyu City, and the Dragon King immediately became the target of everyone, grief and anger overwhelmed fear, and if the Great Snow Mountain wanted to negotiate peace, the swordsmen and the vast majority of the residents of the city would not support it.
Even if there was no living mouth at the scene, no black blood flag, after these days of killing, everyone took it for granted that the murderer was the Dragon King, who would dare to kill people in Beicheng except him?
In order to find out the real culprit who killed Lianhua, Lianye was unwilling to cooperate, so he could only start from another line.
He doesn't like to be watched, impersonated, the darkness is his friend, and he doesn't want to share it with others.
The boss Mo who collaborated with the monk to defraud the swordsman of the money should know.
Fuyuan Tavern is a very small shop, with three tables, and most of the customers can only stand and drink, and take a few salted peanuts for the sake of food, which Boss Mo once mentioned is his stronghold.
Gu Shenwei, who had changed his appearance again, invited a knife man to drink two bowls, and asked Boss Mo's residence from his mouth.
Boss Mo's house is very shabby, and it doesn't match the silver he took from the ** meeting, Gu Shenwei knocked on the door, and the neighbor said that Boss Mo went out early, "Let's go to catch the Dragon King, as long as it's someone with a knife." ”
Gu Shenwei returned to the Fuyuan Tavern, and a group of swordsmen were enthusiastically discussing the reason why the Dragon King killed the holy monk.
"The dragon king killed the red eye, and he killed everyone. ”
"The Dragon King doesn't like swordsmen, he's challenging all the swordsmen in Biyu City, uh, and the Four Truths, and the Dragon King definitely doesn't like monks. ”
"Could it be that the people of the Killing Society have offended the Dragon King, and the Dragon King has sprinkled his anger on the Holy Monk?"
"Then he should go to the Deyi Lou first, the holy monk is the protector of the Killing Society, and the power is in the hands of the Deyi Lou. ”
Everyone was talking energetically, and suddenly there was a terrible cry outside, "The dragon king is killing, the dragon king is killing!"
More than a dozen swordsmen pulled out their knives and rushed out of the tavern, and Gu Shenwei was also mixed inside.
There was a corpse lying on the street, and the pedestrians were far away, and two thin young swordsmen stood trembling on the side, and the cries were made by them.
"Where's the Dragon King?" asked a middle-aged swordsman.
"No, I don't know. A single thin knife man replied in a trembling voice, "After killing people, they will run away." ”
"Did you see the Dragon King?"
"No, no, he's in the shadows. ”
The middle-aged swordsman frowned, put away the knife, and flipped the corpse over.
It's Boss Mo, his mouth is full of white foam, and his face is pale.
"Where did the dragon king come from, he was poisoned to death. ”
"Poison under the dragon king. The thin knife man identified the murderer and said it with great certainty.
The middle-aged swordsman didn't refute, he didn't know who the murderer was, in the end, this matter had nothing to do with him, and Boss Mo was not his friend.
Another swordsman shouted in panic, "Look, Dragon King Banner!"
Everyone turned around, and they didn't know when, a black flag was erected on the roof of the Fuyuan Tavern, and the blood stains on it were clearly visible.
The tavern shopkeeper collapsed on the street, "I didn't offend the Dragon King, and I didn't even say a bad word." ”
Everyone on the street was staring at the ominous flag, and no one noticed that an ordinary swordsman suddenly turned around and ran into a nearby alley at an incredible speed.
Gu Shenwei saw the person planting the flag, a masked man, and when he chased into the alley, he had lost the trace of the other party, and several pedestrians were looking at the black blood flag above the tavern in horror, and it seemed that they didn't notice any masked people running past.
In order to find Boss Mo in the tavern, Gu Shenwei turned around a few times out of habit, so he was more familiar with the nearby streets and alleys, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately turned around and ran a few streets away at the fastest speed, during which he must catch the flag planter by climbing several courtyard walls in a row.
He soon came to a narrow alley, empty of which there was no one in sight, and which was the most secluded place for miles, and his instinct told him that the flag-planters would flee from here.
He remembered the masked women who had rescued him yesterday, who had escaped a few blocks through the tunnels and managed to escape from the siege of Jinpeng Castle.
Gu Shenwei crouched on a high wall in the alley, and he could see it from front to back.
A man came out of the courtyard not far away, dressed as an ordinary swordsman, but as soon as he went out, he looked left and right, obviously not wanting to attract attention.
The man walked towards Gu Shenwei, who jumped off the high wall and put a narrow knife on the other party's neck.
The man was taken aback, his hand was already gripping the hilt of the knife, and slowly released it, "Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person. ”
"That's right, it's you. Gu Shenwei forced the man to lean against the wall with a knife, "Who told you to plant the black blood flag?"
"What black blood flag ......" The man wanted to pretend to be confused, but the performance was too much, the black blood flag was known to everyone in Biyu City, and when he realized this, he immediately said, "Oh, you said the Dragon King Banner, you made a mistake, I'll go out ......"
Gu Shenwei pressed a little the knife.
The fear in the man's eyes grew, "You, you ......" he said a series of you, suddenly his eyes widened, his limbs twitched, and his mouth foamed.
Gu Shenwei removed the narrow knife, and the man slowly sat down on the ground, dead.
Another one.
The first stalker of the Dragon King also committed suicide by swallowing poison in this way, these two people were obviously cowardly and afraid, but they were not afraid to end their lives, Gu Shenwei thought again, the power behind them must be very terrifying.
He felt more and more agitated, there was a net in the shadows, and he was getting closer and closer, but he had no clue, he had so many enemies that he didn't know which one to target.
Xiao Yuetang, he thought, must be those women, they are the best at evil arts. What is the benefit of impersonating the Dragon King? The Dragon King is already the enemy of Jinpeng Castle, so there is no need to sow discord.
Gu Shenwei walked out of the alley with a narrow knife, he wanted to kill the first person he met to calm down.
The first person was a child, only five or six years old, holding a baked cake in his right hand, with snot and crumbs on his lips, and he was not afraid to see the killer with a knife, and pointed obliquely at the sky with his left hand, turned around several times in place, and excitedly shouted: "All flags, all flags." ”
Gu Shenwei jumped several times and came to the highest roof nearby, and there were many people like him, standing on a high place, with frightened faces.
Looking around, the entire southern city was filled with black blood flags, with a total of no less than a hundred, like huge crows, landing on the corpses that were about to decay.
