Chapter 282: Attempted Murder
Then we talked about some things about the Restoration Sect, Li Yihang asked: "Who is the right envoy of the Restoration Sect?" Zheng An said: "I haven't seen this person either, he has disappeared before I joined the Sect, and after three failures, Mei Zuo's envoy felt that there was not enough manpower, so I went down the mountain to explore him." All I know is that he is a pure-blooded Turkic and may be more recognizable when he meets him. Li Yihang asked: "The world is so big, you don't have any clues, isn't that equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack?" Zheng An said: "According to the information given to me by Mei Zuo's envoy, after the sect leader Hu Dingzhong went mad, he went down the mountain to find a way to cure the sect leader. β
Li Yihang said: "The right envoy is not only a Turk, but also dedicated to treating diseases for Hu Ding medicine, but I am afraid that he will not serve the left envoy of Mei." Zheng An said: "That's true, this time Mei Zuo's envoy sent me down the mountain, and his purpose may not be as simple as looking for him to go back to work." Li Yihang said: "Big brother, do you mean that if the right envoy refuses to serve, Mei Zuo may get rid of him?" Zheng An nodded and said: "I guessed so, the current right envoy position can be said to be vacant for a long time, if the right envoy dies, Mei Zuo can promote Zuo Shen to be the right envoy, then his power will be more stable, and it is logical for him to go to the next level to become the sect leader." β
After chatting about the restoration of religion, Li Yihang suddenly remembered the scar on Zheng An's back, and pondered: "Now I have nine layers of certainty that Gordon is my enemy who destroyed the sect, but I don't know if there are any scars on his back? This Brother Zheng is very consistent with what Xiaobao said, this is very strange, could it be that there was more than one murderer that night?" Zheng An saw that he was fascinated and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Li Yihang said: "Brother Zheng, where are you from?" Zheng An said: "I am from Xingzi Town, Nanchang, Jiangxi, what about you?" Li Yihang shouted: "Ah! Is your father Zheng Changqing?" Zheng An exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, how do you recognize my father?" In an instant, Li Yihang's heart was in chaos, Zheng An in front of him, is he one of the murderers, if he wants to be serious, then what should I do? Kill him immediately, or what? He saved my life twice, can I do it, and he is the mainstay of the resistance to the Restoration Sect, can I kill him? All kinds of thoughts crossed my heart one after another, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
Zheng An saw his confused face and asked, "Brother Yihang, what's wrong with you?" After asking a few words, Li Yihang came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, and he asked: "Brother Zheng, what's the matter with the fire on your left back?" Zheng An said: "What's wrong?" Li Yihang said: "It's nothing, I just want to hear your story, but this matter is actually very important to me, I want to hear what you have to say." β
Zheng An asked, "This scar is important to you?" Li Yihang nodded decisively: "Yes, it's very important." β
After being silent for a while, Zheng An said: "This is actually one thing that I regret all my life, every time I think about it, I feel ashamed, but I feel powerless." Li Yihang's heart jumped suddenly, and he asked eagerly: "What is the matter?" Zheng An sighed and said: "I have never mentioned this matter to others, since you asked about it tonight and said that it is very important to you, I will tell you." β
"Six years ago, I bid farewell to the master to Mei Zuo envoy for leave, went home to visit my father, arrived at home but found that my mother had died, I was sad, asked me how my father and mother died, my bastard father, obviously he forced his mother to death, but he was afraid that I would beat him, so he put the blame on a friend surnamed Li, saying that the landlord surnamed Li forced my mother to kill the debt, I was young and inexperienced and impulsive, I actually believed it was true, my heart was annoyed, after finding out where the landlord Li's house was, that night he sneaked into the Li family with a horn knife, ready to avenge the murder of his motherγ When I jumped into the courtyard of the Li family, I saw that there was a light in the east wing, so I quietly touched the window, ready to go in and end the life of the Li landlord, but I didn't expect to do it, the back was on the road, was slapped from behind, fainted to death in the ground, couldn't get up, and then I heard someone persecuting the Li landlord in the room, the Li landlord and his wife did not agree, the man was furious, and the Li landlord and his wife were killed. β
Li Yihang breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "What did the murderer ask Landlord Li to promise?" Zheng An said: "I don't hear very clearly, it seems to be asking where someone is, Landlord Li should not have said it, and he lost his life. After the man killed the Li family, he killed all the maids who heard the news, and finally the murderer actually set the fire, the fire burned very fiercely yesterday, I was slapped by him, and I was seriously injured, I couldn't get up and run for my life, it was really to a rafter smashed on my back, burning my whole body, and then suddenly got up strongly, and didn't care about extinguishing the fire on my back, so I left in a hurry, so that I left a large scar on my back. β
Li Yihang asked: "What happened later?" Zheng An said: "I went home and didn't say anything to my father, and later my father learned that the Li family's whole family was killed and burned, and asked me if I did it, and I said that I wanted to kill but didn't do it, I didn't do it." When my father asked me for details, he scolded me and said that I had almost committed a heinous crime, and I didn't understand what he meant at the time. Then we moved to another place to live, and later found out that things were not as my father said, and I was glad that it was not my own poison. β
Li Yihang was silent for a long time, and asked, "What does that murderer look like?" Zheng An was a little strange, and said: "I couldn't see that person, he slapped me silently from behind, knocking me to the ground and couldn't move, if I hadn't practiced martial arts for ten years and had a deep foundation, I would have killed him on the spot." β
Li Yihang said: "That person's martial arts are very high?" Zheng An nodded and said, "Very high, I feel even higher than my master." Except for what I told my dad and you, I was worried that the news would leak and cause death, so I never mentioned it to anyone else. β
Li Yihang thought to himself: "If it weren't for Gordon slapping you from behind, you would have jumped into the house and killed my father, alas, things are a bit complicated, but no matter what, although my father and mother are generally dead, you didn't kill them yourself, so there is no grudge between us." Thinking about this clearly, the mood is relatively relaxed.
Zheng An was very strange about Li Yihang's expression and behavior, and asked: "Brother Yihang, you are from that of you, listen to your accent, will we be fellow villagers?" Li Yihang didn't want to hide the facts, so he said: "I'm from Changyuan Town." Zheng An said: "Ah, what a coincidence, no wonder you know my father...... suddenly jumped up with a scream, trembling all over, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yihang, is your father ...... It's ......" Li Yihang's expression was gloomy and he nodded.
