Chapter Fifty-Six: Heartbreaking News Arrives
Su Zhenbei looked at Su Long who was standing beside the bed with sleepy eyes, he frowned, and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, it's your second uncle who has an accident?"
Seeing his father's nervous expression, Su Long swallowed his saliva desperately, "Dad, it's not the second uncle who had an accident, but the Qian Er and his subordinates who made trouble here last night were all killed on the street, do you think it's strange?"
"What?" Su Zhenbei jumped up from the bed with a face full of surprise, "Who has such a great ability to destroy more than a dozen masters of the Immortal Valley in a silent voice?" Could it be that the heroes of the Hero League are here?"
Su Zhenbei walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said to his son, "You go and do a few things immediately, first, dispose of the body first, and second, go to the collection to inquire and see if there are any suspicious people appearing, be quick." β
Seeing Su Long's back disappear at the door, Su Zhenbei's mood began to become heavy again. Qian Er's gang died in our Su family set, in case this rumor leaks out, that old devil will never give up, this time I went to the Valley of the Gods to participate in the martial arts conference, it is best for the heroes to have a settlement with the old devil.
As soon as Su Zhenbei finished breakfast, Su Long came back in a hurry. "Dad, the child has inquired, there have been no powerful characters in the collection recently, just some second- and third-rate goods, all of which went to the Valley of the Gods to see the excitement. β
Listening to his son's words, Su Zhenbei's brows were twisted together again, who would do this? Just as he was racking his brains for this matter and meditating hard, Li Fenglin, the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, rushed in sweating.
On such a cold day in the moon, Li Fenglin was sweating profusely, and Su Zhenbei had an ominous premonition. He held the table with his hand and stood there, looking at Li Fenglin with his eyes like electricity.
Li Fenglin said in a slightly trembling voice, "Master, something is wrong." Seeing Li Fenglin running in sweating, he knew that there would be no good news. Su Zhenbei still "chuckled" in his heart when he heard the housekeeper's words, but at the same time, he hoped that the bad news would not be too bad.
He asked in a low voice, "Don't worry, what's going on?" Li Fenglin wiped the sweat that was dripping down with his hand and said, "It's Lin Erxia and the young master who have an accident." One of our eyeliners in the town of Huiyu had just ridden a fast horse to report that they were all killed. β
Hearing this bad news, Su Zhenbei's old face suddenly turned pale, his heart ached, his mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "wow", and his eyes were black, and he didn't know anything.
In the evening, visit the town. Guo Jinzhi and Zhu Feiyu also came here, and at the door of the Spring Manyuan Inn, they walked in. I saw that the lobby was deserted, and there were not a few figures.
Zhu Feiyu glanced at the shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter and looked down thinking about it, "Hey, what are you thinking?
The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at the two of them blankly, he couldn't believe that two more girls were staying in the hotel. Since discovering seven corpses lying in an upper room early in the morning, after the bodies were quickly identified, they watched the guests panic and leave most of them at once, leaving only a few people.
Now that there are guests coming, why don't you make him feel excited? The shopkeeper cheered up, nodded at the two of them, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, how many rooms do the two young ladies want?"
Guo Jinzhi squinted at the shopkeeper, "You said that the two of us want how many rooms? The shopkeeper shouted to the back, "Agui, guests are here, take the two young ladies to the private room No. 1." β
In the lobby, Guo Jinzhi said to the shopkeeper Agui who was standing aside, "Get a pot of wine and a few more appetizers." Zhu Feiyu looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Little Er, why are you so deserted here, and business is not very good." β
The shopkeeper glanced at the counter, turned around and whispered, "We had an accident here this morning, and our business here was very good." β
Zhu Feiyu frowned, "What will happen to you here, could it be that someone is fighting?" The shopkeeper didn't answer, and went to prepare the wine and food.
Zhu Feiyu looked at Guo Jinzhi and asked, "Jinzhi, what do you say will happen to them here?" Guo Jinzhi didn't think about it, and said, "It must not be a trivial matter like a fight, you see that the customers are scared away, they must be dead." β
Zhu Fei said a little incredulously, "No, this place is still far away from the Valley of the Immortals, how can anyone kill someone in the middle of the night?"
Guo Jinyi said with a straight look, "A dead person is not necessarily killed by others, maybe he died of illness." However, getting sick and dying doesn't scare customers away. He must have been killed by the enemy, I don't believe that you will ask him when Xiao Er comes. β
Zhu Feiyu was still a little skeptical, and after a while, Xiao Er brought the wine and food. Zhu Feiyu took out two copper plates, put them on the table, and said to Xiao Er, "Your guest here was killed in the middle of the night, right?"
The shopkeeper looked at the two coins on the table with straight eyes, and Guo Jinzhi said, "I'll buy you a bowl of wine to drink." The shopkeeper glanced at the counter and saw that the shopkeeper was bowing his head to settle the accounts. He quickly grabbed the two coins in his hand. Whispered, "Seven people died last night, it's horrible." β
After saying that, he was afraid that others would hear it, so he walked away.
Guo Jinzhi and Zhu Feiyu were whispering about who the seven dead people were, and Zhu Feiyu said, "I'll give him a few more money later, maybe he will tell us who died here." β
Guo Jinzhi smiled softly, "Don't be too naΓ―ve to think about it, the shopkeeper may not know the identities of these dead people, otherwise, he would have said it all at once just now." β
In the distance, a noisy sound of horses' hooves stopped at the door of the inn, and more than a dozen people walked in from outside the door at once, and the first person was Su Zhenbei, the leader of Su Jiaji.
The shopkeeper saw that so many people from the rivers and lakes came at once, although he was a little apprehensive, but he was still very happy that there was business coming to the door. "May I ask this hero, are you staying in a hotel or are you sharp. β
Su Zhenbei snorted from the bottom of his throat, "Stay in the hotel." The housekeeper Li Fenglin stepped forward, "Shopkeeper, we want three upper rooms and four ordinary guest rooms." I heard you had an accident here last night?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't know what to say. Li Fenglin said, "You gave us all the rooms of the seven people who were killed last night, do you know?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper knew that they were here for last night's incident. These people are not easy to mess with, so he immediately asked Xiao Er to bring the guests over.
After a while, Li Fenglin came to the lobby with Su Long and others, but Su Zhenbei was nowhere to be seen. Guo Jinzhi thought that the people who died here must be related to the Su family, and Su Zhenbei must have seen things and thought about people, and he was sad to hide in the house alone. Could it be that Fei Renjie and others had an accident?
Guo Jinzhi saw that there were only ten people out of them, and there were still three people missing, so it was those two who accompanied Su Zhenbei in the house. Guo Jinzhi glanced at the crowd, except for Su Long, Su Hu and Su Bao did not come out.
The Su family's house rules must be very strict, and these people just drank a glass of wine to warm their bodies. They started eating, Guo Jinzhi and Zhu Feiyu still wanted to hear what they had to say, but the group was silent during the meal.
After a while, they finished their meal and went back to their room. Guo Jinzhi and Zhu Feiyu ate for a while and went back to the room. The two sat at the table drinking tea, and Zhu Fei said, "It seems that the seven people who died here last night must be related to Su Jiaji, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the shopkeeper about this matter today." β
Guo Jinzhi also felt the same way, "Senior sister is right, what happened last night must be related to them, who will it be?" Zhu Feiyu pouted, "Now we think about it in vain, and when we go outside their house to listen for a while, we will understand everything." β
Guo Jinzhi nodded, "Senior Sister is right, let's go and listen, but be careful, Old Man Su's internal strength already has a deep foundation, let's not let him add any more troubles." β
The two of them dressed as night walkers, climbed onto the roof from the window, and came to Su Zhenbei's house. The two of them knelt on the roof and listened quietly, only to hear Su Long's voice come out, "Dad, you have to eat something anyway, if you don't eat the Immortal Valley, you won't have the strength to avenge the second uncle, the third uncle and the younger siblings." β
Li Fenglin also persuaded on the side, "Old man, what the eldest young master said is right, we are not the time to grieve now, we have to discuss it carefully, when we get to the Valley of the Immortals, how to avenge them." β
Su Zhenbei's voice trembled and said, "I can't imagine that I hurt the second and third children, as well as the children, I am ashamed of your dead mother." The people in this Immortal Valley are also too powerful, how did they know that we sent your second uncle back to Jiangnan, and they still took this road?"
Everyone was silent, and under everyone's repeated persuasion, Su Zhenbei agreed to eat. Guo Jinzhi nodded at Zhu Fei and whispered, "Let's go." β
Zhu Feiyu was a little distracted, when she heard that Fei Renjie was Lu Qingyu's good friend, she wanted to see this lover's good friend, who knows, this only good friend was killed by the people of the Immortal Valley like this, and she smashed her fist on the roof in indignation.
There was a loud bang, and there was immediately chaos below. Guo Jinyi saw it, and immediately pulled Zhu Feiyu's arm, "Don't go quickly." β
Zhu Feiyu was pulled by her and flew towards the roof opposite. As soon as they got up to the roof opposite, seven or eight people came up to the room at once.
Su Zhenbei saw two black shadows on the roof opposite, and he chased after him with a sword in one hand. Who knows, these two people are like two arrows shooting forward.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Su Zhenbei had no choice but to stop. He shouted loudly, "Where did the rats come from, why don't you have the courage to meet the old man?"
Who knew that people didn't hear it, and in the blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace.
When Su Long and the others caught up, in the vast dark night, where was there still half a figure? Li Fenglin said to Su Zhenbei, who was standing in a daze in the cold wind, "Old man, let's go back, as long as they are also from the Immortal Valley, we will meet them sooner or later along the way." β
