As he was talking, he saw a catcher running in from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he said in a panic: "My lord, no, no, it's not good!"

Fang Zheng looked at him in a panic and glared at him: "What kind of system is it that is panicked?

The catcher took two breaths, and then said loudly: "My lord, something happened in our house!"

Fang Zheng was also taken aback by him, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The catcher quickly took a few more breaths, and then said: "No, I don't know, just now I took two people, and I routinely went back to the mansion every day to greet the county lord, but as soon as I entered the mansion, I found that the mansion had been attacked, and all the people were killed!"

As soon as Fang Zheng heard this, he immediately jumped up: "What? The mansion was attacked? What about the county lord?"

Na Kuai shook his head: "No, I don't know, I didn't find any trace of the county lord, I didn't dare to make my own decision, so I came back immediately to report to the lord." ”

Fang Zheng didn't care to ask more, and yelled: "Cucumber, take a few people, hurry back to the house with me, and the rest of the people will stay here!"

Jiang Han saw that Fang Zheng's face was green, his legs were trembling slightly, and he hurriedly pulled Fang Zheng's arm: "Brother Fang, don't worry, I'll go back with you to take a look?"

Fang Zheng stared at Jiang Han and nodded: "It's okay, it's okay, you have always walked the rivers and lakes and have rich experience, maybe you can help me." ”

Jiang Han hurriedly instructed Luo Ziyu to stay here, not to go anywhere, and followed Fang Zheng out of the Shen family's compound in a hurry.

As soon as he ran like this, Jiang Han had no choice but to run after him, and the cucumber chased after him with a few catchers, making the pedestrians on the street very strange, and thinking that he was catching thieves.

Fang Zheng hurriedly ran back to the prefect's yamen, bypassed the front door, and came directly to the back door, after the back door entered the back house, before entering the door, Jiang Han smelled a strong smell of blood coming from inside.

The two catchers were waiting at the door, and when they saw Fang Zheng running back, they both said tremblingly: "My lord, something happened, we searched all over the inside, but we didn't see the county lord." ”

Fang Zheng pushed the two people: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way!" and then rushed into the courtyard in two steps, and shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard: "Yueming, Yueming!" But no matter how he shouted, no one answered.

The back house of the prefect's yamen is not small, it is also a courtyard of three entrances, Jiang Han followed Fang Zheng into a courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he found four corpses lying on the ground!

Jiang Han walked over, squatted down and examined the four corpses, then stood up and shook his head at Fang Zheng: "It's been a long time since I died." "All four of them were dressed in the clothes of ordinary squires, with fallen swords around them, and they looked like they should be guards in the palace.

Fang Zheng frowned: "Can you tell if he was injured by some weapon?" This made his face turn iron-blue, and the muscles on his head jumped violently, and he didn't know whether he was anxious or angry.

Jiang Han nodded lightly: "These four people were all wounded in the chest, they were killed by one blow, and there were no other wounds on their bodies, judging from the shape of the wounds, the murderer should have used a gun!"

Fang Zheng let out a long breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Peach Blossom Thief!"

Jiang Han nodded: "Very likely." ”

Fang Zheng gritted his teeth: "This peach blossom thief is really hateful!

"These four people are the guards personally selected by the prince when the county lord and I left Beijing, everyone is loyal, and their martial arts experience is excellent, I didn't expect that all four of them were killed by the peach blossom thief, this peach blossom thief is really a top master, but I underestimated him!"

Jiang Han saw that the door of the main room was open, and hurriedly rushed into the house to take a look, there were still two corpses lying on the ground at the door, it seemed that they were two maids, both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were both killed by a shot in the chest, and a sword fell next to each of them.

The two maids were neatly dressed, and it was obvious that they had not been violated before they died, but judging from the expressions of the two corpses, their faces were full of fear, but they still bravely blocked the door, wanting to protect their masters.

Jiang Han looked into the house again, there were traces of a fight in the room, the tables, chairs and benches were all overturned to the ground, and a sword fell next to the table, and the scabbard fell to the wall, but except for the side of the corpse, there was no blood stain anywhere else.

Jiang Han picked up the sword and looked at it, the body of this sword is very thin, the size is obviously slightly shorter than the ordinary sword, and the weight is also much lighter, it is as light as nothing in the hand, even lighter than the wooden sword, but it is extremely sharp, and there is a sound of breaking the air when it is waved slightly, like a crane chirping. The sword body is shiny, the hilt of the sword is wrapped with gold thread, and the swallow is inlaid with a red gem on one side, all the size of an eyeball, and the light shines brightly, but unfortunately Jiang Han doesn't recognize what a gem is.

The scabbard is wooden, and it is very light, and it is carved with patterns, like the wings of a bird, but when the scabbard is thrown on the ground, it falls off a few places of lacquer, and it can be seen that the sword owner is in a hurry when he draws the sword.

Jiang Han knew that the sword was extremely extraordinary, at least in terms of the material of casting, it was extremely rare, and it was by no means possible to cast such a long sword so lightly, which was by no means something that ordinary gold and iron could do.

He walked around the house again, but he didn't find anything particularly special.

At this time, Fang Zheng came in from outside, looked at the corpses of the two maids on the ground, and whispered: "Peach and willow green, they are all Yueming's personal maids, and they have always been loyal to Yueming, but unfortunately, both of them are still children." ”

As he was talking, Fang Zheng saw the sword in Jiang Han's hand at a glance, and hurriedly said, "This is Yueming's sword!"

Jiang Han hurriedly handed the sword to Fang Zheng: "This is really a good sword!"

Fang Zheng put the sword back into his sheath and whispered, "Of course, this sword is called Crane Valley, and it is a gift from the Holy One today. ”

"This sword was paid tribute by the Sharpedge Villa many years ago, I heard that many years ago, the old owner of the Sharpedge Villa got a special metal from the Western Regions, not only the weight is extremely light, but also the hardness and toughness are several times greater than ordinary gold and iron, it is definitely an excellent material for casting swords. ”

"However, because the number is too small, the sword can only be reduced in size, and it is made by the old owner himself, and the length and width are reduced compared to ordinary swords, but this is it, it is still a rare sword in the world. ”
