Zhang Fangzhou is dead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Xu Yun rushed from the bamboo forest path to Qingshitai in a panic, dozens of people up and down Yunzhuang had almost gathered on Qingshitai, and most of these people who were deeply favored by Zhang Fangzhou in the past sobbed and kept wiping their tears. Xu Yunwang saw Shi Niang and Xiao Yu lying on the body of the master and wept bitterly, only to feel that his hands and feet were weak, his back was cold, and he unconsciously took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

"Young Master Yun, it's here. Lao Chang saw Xu Yun coming, so he walked up to him and whispered.

"Old Chang, who killed Master?" Xu Yun said calmly.

"Young Master Yun, let me ask you, where were you last night?" Lao Chang still lowered his voice and spoke to Xu Yun.

"I'm in the bamboo forest cabin, what's wrong?" Xu Yun wondered.

"Alone, no one else has seen you?" asked Chang in a whisper.

"I've always been the only one in the bamboo forest hut at night, don't you know?" Xu Yun faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Young Master Yun, this is not good, do you know, the old man has the mark of falling flower palms on his body!"

"What? how is it possible!" Xu Yun learned that the master had fallen into the palm of his body, so he stepped forward and squeezed through the crowd and walked quickly to Zhang Fangzhou's corpse, squatting down to take a closer look.

There was a striking blood-colored flower mark on the lower abdomen of the corpse, and at a glance, it was known that it was formed by being hit by the falling flower palm of Yunzhuang's peerless school. However, this palm was not a fatal wound, but a sword wound in the chest. This sword pierced through the heart from the back, and the sword move was extremely ruthless, obviously being attacked by someone else.

"Yun'er, do you know who killed your master by looking at this injury?" Mrs. Zhang sobbed.

Xu Yun was silent, not knowing how to answer. Master Zhang Fangzhou is a rare master in today's martial arts, Xu Yun can't think of anyone in the martial arts who can hurt his vital point with a sword, and this person will even make Yunzhuang's mastery fall into the palm of his hand. "Could it be that when the master was trying his best to deal with the incoming enemy, there was another sword master ambushed behind him? Otherwise, how could he be easily poisoned? In addition to the disciples of Yunzhuang, is there still someone on the rivers and lakes who will make the flower palm?" Xu Yun said to himself.

"Master, you ask him who the murderer is, can he tell you the truth?" Suddenly, Qin Zun on the side spoke up.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Qin Zun, and Mrs. Zhang stopped crying and said, "How can you say this?"

Qin Zun pointed to the blood-colored mark on Zhang Fangzhou's lower abdomen and said, "This scar is obviously a special mark that will only be left after the flower palm falls on the body. This falling flower palm is our Yunzhuang's martial arts, and outsiders can't do it at all, so it must be the people in the village who hurt the master. And the only disciples in Zhuangzhong who have been taught by the master are the senior brother and the third junior brother, and now the third junior brother is traveling far away in the northern country, and he is not in the Jianghuai area at all, so he Xu Yun is the only one who has the opportunity to shoot at the master!"

Most of the people on the bluestone platform were already suspicious of Xu Yun when they saw Zhang Fangzhou's injury, and now that Qin Zun was the first to speak, they also echoed and agreed. Ning Buping shouted loudly: "What a vicious Xu Yun, Master treats you as his own, I didn't expect you to do such a disloyal, unfilial piety, unkind and unrighteous thing, today we will avenge Master!" After speaking, he drew his sword and stabbed at Xu Yun.

It's just that Ning Buping's long sword hadn't stabbed in front of Xu Yun yet, but it had been stopped by another sword. Ning Buping looked at it steadily, but saw that the person who stopped him was the junior brother Zhang Baiqiao, and said angrily: "What, the eighth junior brother wants to stand up for this traitor?" Zhang Baiqiao raised the head of the long sword and arched his hand: "Don't dare, fourth senior brother, move slowly, please listen to the little brother." ”

Ning Buping saw that Zhang Baiqiao was humble and had no intention of fighting him, so he said: "If you have anything to say, let's hear it." Zhang Baiqiao said: "Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother." Ladies and gentlemen, when Senior Brother Fang Cai took a closer look at Master's injuries, I also observed them from the sidelines. According to the younger brother's humble opinion, the murderer is not the elder brother, but someone else. The sword wound on Master's back was enough to be fatal, and there was no need to add another slap to the lower abdomen. And who in the entire Yunzhuang doesn't know that the senior brother will fall into the flower palm? If it was really the senior brother who killed the master, wouldn't this painting add to the snake and the falling flower palm make him, the murderer, reveal his identity? Therefore, this falling flower palm should have been deliberately done by the thief, and the purpose was to blame the senior brother for the crime of murdering the master. This person is planning like this, there must be something else, Baiqiao hereby implores you to think twice before acting, don't fall for the traitor's plan. ”

"Ah, Senior Brother Baiqiao is right, I also think that Senior Brother will not murder Master, he has no reason to kill Master at all! This murderer is really hateful, I have to blame Senior Brother for killing Master, if I catch him, I must not spare him!" Zhou Kun roared. He is a person with a pure personality, and he is extremely filial to his master on weekdays, but today he suddenly saw his master die, and his heart was full of grief, and even his eyes turned red as soon as he spoke, and he almost wanted to cry. Because he didn't see much of each other, Zhou Kun originally knew very little about Xu Yun, but when the Heavenly King Gang came to challenge him that day, he saw Xu Yun fighting the masters with injuries, and he naturally felt a sense of admiration for this senior brother in his heart. Fang Cai's second senior brother Qin Zun actually said that it was the person he admired very much in his heart who killed his favorite Yan Shi, Zhou Kun naturally didn't believe it, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart. At this moment, when his junior brother Zhang Baiqiao said such a thing, Zhou Kun's heart suddenly brightened, and he repeatedly said that he agreed very much.

In fact, there are not a few people on the bluestone platform who have the same mind as Zhou Kun, especially those old Zhuang Ding who have been in Baiyun Peak since the beginning of the establishment of Yunzhuang, and they don't believe that Young Master Yun, who has grown up watching them, kill Zhuang Zhuang Fang Zhou. It's just that they feel that people are soft-spoken, and even if they say what they think, it will be useless, so they keep silent. At this moment, they saw that Zhang Baiqiao and Zhou Kun both said that the murderer was not Xu Yun, so they also spoke out to support the two.

Qin Zun said: "Master's internal strength is strong, ordinary kung fu can't hurt him at all, how can a mere sword be fatal?" It must be that Xu Yun saw that the master still had breath, so he slapped again, and in a hurry, he used a stunt to drop the flower palm, so as to leave a mark on the master's lower abdomen. ”

Zhang Baiqiao said: "If it is true that the second senior brother said, the master was still alive at that time, then he would definitely fight the murderer or shout loudly." I don't know which senior brother guarded the mountain gate last night, have you ever heard anything unusual on the bluestone platform?"

Ning Buping glanced at Zhong Shidao, who had been silent, and said: "Last night it should have been the sixth senior brother on duty, but I pulled the sixth senior brother into my room to ......drink at sunset yesterday on a whim" Zhong Shidao heard this, his face turned pale and said: "I'm ashamed, I don't want me to be drunk and fall into the fourth senior brother's room, and it is really a sin to be derelict in my duty and cause such a catastrophe!"

Zhang Baiqiao said: "Even if the sixth senior brother was not there last night, isn't there still two Zhuang Ding guarding the mountain gate, and it is okay to find them and ask." ”

Qin Zun sneered: "Eighth Senior Brother wants to find those two Zhuang Dings? That's a bit difficult. Because both of them also fell into their bodies and died on the stone steps of the mountain gate. Since he, Xu Yun, has already used the Falling Flower Palm to reveal his appearance, he simply does not do anything and kills the guarding Zhuang Ding, creating the illusion that outsiders have entered the village, which is really a good situation! The Eighth Senior Brother thinks that Xu Yun did not do it, so who else in the martial arts besides the disciples of Yunzhuang will make the Falling Flower Palm? Qin is really lonely and unheard, can you please tell me about it?"

"This ......" Zhang Baiqiao was speechless. This question that even Xu Yun, Lao Chang and others can't answer, how can he, a young man, answer it?

Mrs. Zhang wiped away her tears and whispered to Xu Yun who was kneeling beside her: "Yun'er, no matter what they say, I won't believe that you can do such a thing." Xu Yun slightly gathered together for the dead Zhang Fangzhou and said: "Master, let the master carry back to the village first, you can't let him lie here all the time, it's too unseemly." ”

"Good. Mrs. Zhang hugged Zhang Yuting, who was already crying to tears, and got up and said.

Xu Yun got up and looked at the crowd, and when he saw Lao Chang standing on the outermost periphery, he said in a loud voice: "Lao Chang, you find a few people to carry the old man back to the village, and in addition, you have to quickly order someone to prepare for the funeral and other matters. Master is also a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes, and the funeral must be beautiful, and he must not lose face. Xu Yun didn't mention that he was suspected of being a murderer, and it seemed that the controversy between Qin Zun, Zhang Baiqiao and others on the bluestone platform had nothing to do with him.

Only then did Lao Chang speak: "Okay, young masters, let's argue for a while, let's talk about it later, we can't let the old man lie here and blow the cold wind, right? Come on, come on, come over a few people to carry the old man back! The rest of the people hurry up and get busy, there are still a lot of things to do in the village!" After that, he took the lead towards the Zhuangzi on crutches, and sighed as he walked: "Alas, it's already the wax moon, and it's the New Year soon, and this kind of thing will happen, which god kills the sin!"

The two Zhuang Ding found a wooden plank and carried Zhang Fangzhou's body back to Yunzhuang, and Mrs. Zhang's wife Shen Jing and daughter Zhang Yuting followed behind crying. The many Zhuang Ding miscellaneous servants on the bluestone platform also dispersed with heavy hearts to busy their work, leaving only Xu Yun, Qin Zun and other senior brothers.

Xu Yun saw Qin Zun glaring at him angrily and said, "How?"

Qin Zun stared at Xu Yun and said, "I won't trust you like my master, the murder of my master must have something to do with you!"

Xu Yun smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter, if I were you, I would have the same thoughts as you." After all, there are not many people who can drop the flower palm, and this drop is almost announcing to the world that I am the murderer. ”

Qin Zun drew his sword in his hand and said, "Since you have said so, it seems that you don't want to excuse yourself." ”

Xu Yun said: "I don't know who the murderer is, but I know that I am definitely not the murderer, and I don't need to excuse myself, because I was on the bamboo forest trail last night." ”

Ning Buping drew his sword and said, "Who believes it?"

"I believe it!" Zhang Baiqiao also drew his sword out of the sheath and said.

Xu Yun pressed the long sword in Zhang Baiqiao's hand and said, "Baiqiao, collect the sword." You went up the mountain to learn martial arts, not to fight with your brother. ”

Qin Zun smiled coldly and said, "You don't have to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai there, today we will clean up the portal for the master, let's make a move!" After saying that, Qin Zun and Ning Buping had already raised their swords and went straight to Xu Yun's vital point.

These two swords came extremely quickly, but Xu Yun did not move at all. Hearing only the two sounds of "dang chang" and "dang chang", the swords in the hands of Qin Zun and Ning Buping had been broken into two and fell to the ground, as for when Xu Yun made a move, everyone didn't see it clearly. Qin Zun and Ning Buping were taken aback when they saw the broken sword in their hands, and they both took a few steps back, looking at Xu Yun in fear.

Xu Yun said: "You are not my opponent, don't fight anymore." I said I wasn't a murderer, stop pushing me to do it. ”

Qin Zun saw that Zhou Kun and Zhong Shidao had no intention of making a move with Xu Yun, so he took a sip and threw the broken sword in his hand away from the bluestone platform. Ning Buping saw Qin Zun leave and walked away without saying a word, looking very annoyed.

When Zhang Baiqiao saw the two leaving, he asked Xu Yundao: "Senior brother, what should I do next, go find the murderer?"

Xu Yun bowed his head and said, "Yes, I plan to go down the mountain." ”

Zhou Kun said: "Senior brother, I'll go with you!" Zhang Baiqiao nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go with you too!"

Xu Yun looked at the two of them and said, "It won't be long before the news of Master's death spreads in the rivers and lakes, and at that time, I will become the murderer that many people believe in their hearts." You two are by my side, and it will do you both harm. As long as you stay on the mountain, I will find out about this matter, give everyone an explanation, and give myself a clean slate. ”

Zhong Shidao suddenly said on the side: "Senior Brother, yesterday I was at the Fourth Senior Brother's place, thinking that I would go to the mountain gate to be on duty after drinking a few glasses of wine, but I didn't want to get drunk in his room...... I really can't live with Master, and I can't stand with you, if you weren't the murderer, I could have explained it to everyone, but I ......"

Xu Yun patted Zhongshi Dao on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, you didn't guard at the mountain gate last night, otherwise you would have died at the mountain gate now." You are not a greedy person but you got drunk yesterday, presumably God let you escape this catastrophe, don't blame yourself. ”

After that, Xu Yun hugged his fists to the three of them and said, "Okay, you guys go back to the village, I'll go down the mountain now." Please tell my master for me, and say that I, Xu Yun, will not find the murderer of my master, and I will not return to the mountain. ”

Zhou Kun, Zhong Shidao and Zhang Baiqiao also returned the salute to Xu Yun and said, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, please be more careful." Zhou Kun untied the long sword at his waist and handed it to Xu Yundao: "Senior brother, you can hold this sword and keep it for self-defense." Xu Yun took the long sword and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou." Ladies and gentlemen, Xu has taken his leave!" he turned around and walked down the bluestone platform towards the mountain gate.

At this time, there were only two Zhuang Ding guarding the mountain gate, and one of them was a Mao mouse who often borrowed silver from Xu Yun to gamble on weekdays. Seeing Xu Yun coming, Mao Mouse stepped forward with a smile and said, "Young Master Yun, go out?"

Xu Yun saw that it was a Mao mouse and said, "You are on duty today?" The Mao mouse rubbed his hands and said, "Yes, or I'll go down the mountain...... That one...... Young Master Yun, you understand. Xu Yun naturally knew that he was talking about gambling money, and said, "Well, too, did you lose all the money you borrowed last time?"

"How can I be, there are five coins of silver left. The hairy mouse stroked his lips and smiled.

"That's good, save some money, I'm afraid no one will borrow your money in the future." Xu Yundao.

Mao Mouse exclaimed: "Young Master Yun, didn't you even lend me money?" Xu Yun shook his head and said: "That's not it, it's just that I'm going to go out this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while." Mao Mouse said: "I see, but I don't know where Young Master Yun is going?" Xu Yun said: "I'm going to find the real murderer who killed Master." ”

While speaking, Xu Yun caught a glimpse of another young man guarding the mountain gate, Zhuang Ding, turning his head towards the iron gate, and was very sad in his heart, and thought secretly: "It seems that many people in the village think that I am the murderer of Master." ”

Seeing that Xu Yun's eyes showed sadness, Mao Mo followed his gaze. When he saw the appearance of another Zhuang Ding, he understood a little in his heart, so he ran forward and kicked the young Zhuang Ding in the chest and kicked him to the ground: "****** rabbit cub, do you have this attitude when you see Young Master Yun?"

The hairy mouse kicked out quickly and ruthlessly, and he couldn't stop scolding while kicking, and it only took a few kicks to kick the young Zhuang Ding to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. The Zhuang Ding was powerless to fight back, so he had to lie on the ground and cover his face with his hands, but he kept scolding and swearing. As soon as he scolded like this, the Mao mouse became even more angry, and simply rode on him and raised his fists and kept slamming towards the head of the Zhuang Ding.

Xu Yun saw that the Mao mouse had no intention of stopping, so he stopped him and said, "Don't fight, you open the door quickly, I'm going down the mountain." The hairy mouse stopped, looked behind Xu Yun, glared at the reddened mouse eyes and said, "Young Master Yun, are you alone?" Xu Yun nodded and did not speak. Mao Mouse rubbed his nose and said: "******, one by one, they are still known as the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and no one is willing to accompany you to track down such a big matter as the murder of the master!

Xu Yun said softly: "No need, I am now recognized as a murderer by everyone, if you follow me, others will think that you are my accomplice." The rivers and lakes are treacherous, life on the mountains is more comfortable, you should stay in the mountains. ”

Mao Mouse sniffed and said: "You didn't kill the master, why did I follow you and become an accomplice?" Hmph, even if it's an accomplice, then I don't care, my Mao Mouse is a well-known bad gambler, and when I was mixed in the rivers and lakes before, I also liked to dig people's ancestral graves, where do people like me have any reputation? I suffered a great disaster back then, thanks to the master who didn't dislike me and took me in. My hairy mouse's life was saved by the master, and now that the master has died in an unknown way, I should naturally contribute to the investigation of the real murderer. Life on the mountain is certainly comfortable, but it was only because Young Master Yun borrowed money from me to gamble that I was comfortable. Manager Chang scolded me for being okay, and hated me for that, I see that it won't be long before he drives me down the mountain after you leave, so it's better for me to follow you to the rivers and lakes. ”

Xu Yun saw that Mao Mouse's words were sincere, and it was not easy to refuse, so he said: "Okay, then you can go down the mountain with me, and many people will be better after all." ”

Seeing that Xu Yun agreed, Mao Yun happily opened the iron door and said, "That Cheng, that Cheng, then let's go now!"

Xu Yun nodded slightly, and was about to step out when he heard a shout from behind: "Brother Xu, wait for me, wait for me!"

Xu Yun was shocked, hurriedly looked back, and stopped when he saw Ah Fei rushing towards him from the top of the long stone steps.
