Zhang Lin can be said to have done all the bad things, and in the end he died of a strange disease, bedridden for more than a month, unable to eat or drink, and died of hunger for more than a month. In the end, they were all skinny and skinny, which can be regarded as retribution.
Even if King Wenru usually looks down on this eldest son who doesn't learn and has no skills, but after all, he is his biological son, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, because of excessive sadness, Zhang Quanzhi also had a serious illness and was much haggard. Zhang Lin's mother couldn't bear the blow of her son's death, and fell ill at the same time as Zhang Quanzhi.
Today's funeral event is presided over by the second son Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun is Zhang Quanzhi's favorite son, and the second among the brothers.
Zhang Xun was twenty-eight years old, full of scriptures, compelling, resourceful, handsome, and had the demeanor of his father, King Wenru. He also has a younger brother named Zhang Heng and a younger sister Zhang Zi.
Zhang Heng is only one year younger than Zhang Xun, and he has practiced martial arts in Longwu Mountain all the year round, and has a good martial arts and amazing brute strength. Today, when I learned the news of my eldest brother's illness and death, I quickly returned to the Wenru Palace.
Zhang Zi is the daughter of the old king of Wenru, and the whole house loves this young lady very much, and now she is twenty-nine years old, in her prime, not only beautiful, but also thoughtful. But she has a naughty personality, outgoing by nature, fun-loving and noisy, and jumps the whole house every day.
Although Zhang Lin is bad, he treats his younger brothers and sisters with great love. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, King Wenru has always been involved in the affairs of the court, and only Zhang Lin and his mother take care of the three younger siblings at home.
Zhang Lin died today, Zhang Xun, Zhang Heng and Zhang Zi, brothers and sisters, knelt in front of their brother's coffin, and the whole house wept bitterly.
At this time, Li Yanliang came to the gate of the Wenru Palace, regardless of the guards, and broke in.
Breaking into the palace, Li Yanliang went straight to the lobby. It was found that everyone in the lobby was mourning Zhang Lin, but there was no trace of Qiluo.
When the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family saw Li Yanliang break in, the grumpy third son Zhang Heng suddenly stood up angrily, pointed at Li Yanliang and shouted, "Li Yanliang, don't think I'll be afraid of you." My brother is dead today, what is your purpose in forcibly breaking into my house!"
"Third brother, don't be impulsive, have something to say. Zhang Xun pressed Zhang Heng's shoulder, turned his head to look at Li Yanliang, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has such a menacing appearance, there must be some misunderstanding, I don't know why His Royal Highness the Prince came this time?"
Li Yanliang snorted angrily: "Don't fake it here, release Qiluo, otherwise I will demolish your Wenru Palace!"
"What a gentle and elegant prince, when did you learn the ability to spew blood?" Zhang Zi sneered with a strange look of disdain.
Li Yanliang sneered, his true qi was released, and a blazing flame ignited around his body. Frightened, people fled in all directions.
"Since you don't let people go, I'll burn all this place with a fire!" Li Yanliang raised his hand to stimulate the flames, and Zhang Heng then waved his arms, and he was about to make a move, and the sword was rattling. Zhang Xun shouted "stop", his face was panicked.
Li Yanliang put away the flame in his palm, Zhang Xun quickly walked in front of Li Yanliang, and said, "Brother Yanliang, I also went to Wuliang Wangfu to coax you when you were seven years old, and you also affectionately called me brother." Moreover, you and I both work for the imperial court, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so why make a big fuss at this time? As for the Qiluo you mentioned, we really haven't seen this person. ”
Seeing that Zhang Xun's appearance didn't look like he was lying, Li Yanliang was puzzled: "You really didn't send someone to arrest Qiluo, and you also smashed Lao Liu's grocery store?"
Zhang Xun shook his head, showing puzzlement, and asked rhetorically: "Brother Yanliangxian, I really don't know what you said about Qiluo and Lao Liu, why do you think that our people from the Wenru Mansion arrested her?"
At this time, Zhang Zi's face sank, and he walked over and said to Li Yanliang: "I know about this matter, this morning a strange man who claimed to be a half-corpse man came to the gate of the palace, and my eldest brother was not dead at that time, and the strange man said that my eldest brother would not survive the time, and he would die when the time came." I was still angry, so I had him driven away. Who would have thought that it was really as the weird man said, the eldest brother he really swallowed his breath at the end of the day. After a while, the strange man came to the palace again, and the second brother was busy dealing with the aftermath, and only I saw him. He told me that my eldest brother died of evil spirits, and if he didn't deal with it, he would not be allowed to enter the reincarnation after death. And told me that only by finding a woman born in the lunar year can I exorcise the evil spirit for my eldest brother. I believed him, and I sent with him to the city to look for the woman who had been born in the lunar year. ”
"Where is that strange man now, take me to see him quickly, otherwise Qiluo will be in danger!" Li Yanliang asked anxiously.
Zhang Zi snorted lightly: "What are you anxious about, he took the woman to the backyard this morning, saying that when the time comes, he will do something to exorcise evil spirits for my eldest brother." ”
When Li Yanliang heard this, he immediately left the lobby and walked towards the backyard of the palace.
Zhang Xun's face was gloomy, and he said to his sister beside him: "Don't be good at making claims in the future, what kind of half-corpse person, listening to the name is the evil demon." You go to the backyard with your third brother to have a look, and I still have to deal with things here. Remember that as long as Li Yanliang doesn't hurt the people of our palace, he will go with him no matter what he does, if he dares to touch the people of my palace, you will let your third brother teach him a lesson, don't let him think that the people of my Wenru palace are easy to bully. ”
Zhang Zi nodded, called Zhang Heng, and the brother and sister quickly walked towards the backyard.
Li Yanliang came to the backyard and found that there was no one else except for some people who took care of the home.
At this time, Zhang Heng and Zhang Zi's brothers and sisters also came to the backyard, and when they saw the half-corpse disappearing, Zhang Zi was also very puzzled, and asked the subordinates around him, "Where did the half-corpse go?"
The people all looked panicked at the moment, as if they had seen something terrible. One of the subordinates stretched out his hand and pointed to one place, and the two brothers and sisters and Li Yanliang all looked in the direction of the subordinates' fingers, and did not see anything abnormal.
The three of them quickly walked over there, and found a pool of blood on the ground, and the blood trail extended outward. Seeing this bloodstain, Li Yanliang's face sank, his eyes glared angrily, and he turned back to the Zhang family brothers and sisters and said, "If Qiluo is in danger, I will let your whole family be buried together!"
With that, Li Yanliang left the backyard along the bloodstains.
At this moment, Zhang Zi's expression was also panicked, she knew that she had done something wrong and might cause a big disaster.
Zhang Heng patted his sister's shoulder and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is a third brother in everything." If he Li Yanliang really dares to be presumptuous, I can't spare him!"
Li Yanliang climbed over the wall along the bloodstains, continued to search along the bloodstains, and found that the bloodstains were gone on the street. But here he met Liu Yong and Qiu Yunqing, who rushed over.
"Brother Yanliang, where are you going, have you found Miss Qiluo?" Liu Yong wondered.
Li Yanliang's face was gloomy and panicked, and he said, "Qiluo is not in the Wenru Palace, but she is very dangerous now. Looking at the direction in which the bloodstains disappeared, the half-corpse man should have headed north. Liu Yong, you don't have any skills, if you want to help me, go back and take care of Lao Liu for me. Yun Qing, you follow me to find Kira. ”
Qiu Yun said "yes" lightly and followed Li Yanliang to the north quickly, Liu Yong stopped on the ground and gasped for a few breaths, complained "I look down on people too much" and sighed and went back to the original way.
At the same time, the Wenru Palace's palace also issued a notice, offering a large reward to find the half-corpse and Qiluo.
This time, the mysterious half-corpse man who suddenly appeared swept up the city.
