Chapter 12: The Night Attack
Early the next morning, Hu Kun and Mrs. Hu saw off Lu Yuxuan and Chen Lin in the living room, Mrs. Hu never asked about what Hu Kun did, just did some things about husband and children every day, with a kind temper and dignified appearance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Senior brother, it's not early, and it's been too much time to make an appointment with Yin Yuanwai, so it's better for us to go to Yin's Mansion to say hello to Yin Yuanwai and set off directly, so as not to delay time. "The time has come, Yin Yuanwai said yesterday that he would come to Hu Mansion to see him off at three o'clock in the morning, and now that a quarter of an hour has passed, Lu Yuxuan is afraid of delaying the departure time, so he discusses with Hu Kun.
"It's okay, if you want to come to Yin Yuan, you can't leave because you have something important to do, so let's go to Yin's Mansion to say hello to Xiaoyi, and then set off. Hu Kun nodded in agreement.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Hu in the living room, Lu Yuxuan tied the baggage and other accompanying things to the saddle, and the three of them led the horse and walked to the Yin Mansion.
The door outside the Yin Mansion was closed, and there was no sound in the house, and no one answered when the three of them knocked on the door for a long time, and a trace of gloom gradually surfaced in their hearts.
"Something is wrong, so I'll go in and check it out. Lu Yuxuan looked at Hu Kun.
"I'm going with you, now that it's dark, there are pedestrians on the street, Chen Lin should be in no danger outside the house. Lu Yuxuan nodded in agreement, and asked Chen Lin to stay away from the Yin Mansion, and if he found that the situation was not right, he would flee immediately.
Lu Yuxuan and the two lifted their breath and turned into the Yin Mansion, the house was unusually quiet, there was no sound of pedestrians walking, the two held their breath, quietly walked to the house, just walked not far, after turning a small door, they found that there were two Yin Mansion Nursing Homes lying on the ground, a dry blood stain under the body, no breath, the limbs have been hardened, obviously have been dead for a long time, Lu Yuxuan and the two glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts, Yin Yuan should be more auspicious and less auspicious.
Lu Yuxuan and Hu Kun have been to the Yin Mansion many times, and they know that most of the martial arts of the Yin Mansion Nursing Institute are around the third grade, which is what ordinary people call third-rate masters, two people on the ground, one was stabbed in the throat, and one was pierced in the vest, and there were no traces of resistance around the two, indicating that the martial arts of the people who came were more than twice as clever as the two of them, and they could get close to the third-grade martial artists silently, so that they could not be discovered, and the martial arts of the sneak attackers must be above the second-grade to be done, and after inspecting the two corpses on the ground, the two continued to go inward.
Along the way, there were constantly corpses lying on the ground, and when they entered the sight of Lu Yuxuan and the others, they were all fatal with one blow, and the fatality points were different, indicating that there were a large number of bandits and strong martial arts.
There were traces of a fight at the Hanging Flower Gate, the two corpses were stabbed in many places, the skin around the knife edge was black, and the dried blood stains under the body were also poisoned, Lu Yuxuan recognized it at a glance, one of the corpses was Uncle Liu who was driving the carriage next to Yin Yi. Another corpse I have never seen, it should be the guard who followed Yin Yuan's side, the wound on the corpse is not far from the point, it can be seen that the fight is fierce, but it did not alarm the residents around Yin's mansion, indicating that the fight was short, the two fought near the Hanging Flower Gate, and after the Hanging Flower Gate is the inner house of Yin's Mansion, which is the residence of Yin Yuanwai, not far from the small building where Yin Yi lives, indicating that the two should have found that something was wrong in the house, and first came to the inner house to protect the father and daughter of Yin's outer house, and met the people who attacked Yin's Mansion outside the door of the inner house and fought with them, they were outnumbered and killed by the attackers, Lu Yuxuan had noticed that Uncle Liu's martial arts in the courtyard were above and below the second grade, the other corpse should not be much different from him, and it is also between the second grade.
"One corpse is Liu Xiang, who is usually responsible for protecting Yin Yi and reaching the second grade in kung fu, and the other is his first Liu Chong, who has also reached the second grade in kung fu, and is responsible for protecting Yin Haoxuan, go to the inner house to have a look. Hu Kun had seen the two of them, and when he told the details, it was not much different from Lu Yuxuan's guess.
Turning into the inner house, Yin Haoxuan's residence, a maid in the outer room was lying on the bed, with a knife in the neck, no trace of resistance, the inner room was messy, and there was no trace of Yin Haoxuan.
In the small garden building, the hall on the first floor is a mess, there are traces of sword chopping at the door of the building and the entrance pillar, Yin Cuitong has multiple wounds on the stairs of the hall dressed in white, the skin around the wound is black, the fatal injury is a palm mark on the back, the palm mark is wide, the color is black, the murderer should practice the kung fu of poisonous sand palm, the side of the corpse is written with a poisonous word with blood stains, the body of Qing'er on the second floor fell in a pool of blood, there are traces of struggle, and there is no trace of Miss Yin in the building.
After some investigation, the two came to the conclusion: the father and daughter of the Yin family disappeared, dozens of people up and down the Yin Mansion, regardless of men, women and children, all were killed, the Yin Mansion was destroyed, the number of gangsters was large, the martial arts were strong, and the methods were cruel.
Lu Yuxuan's eyes were red, his heart was unsettled, and the pictures of the people in the Yin Mansion in his memory were still clear and vivid, but in reality, they all became cold corpses. In the division, although he has heard all kinds of vicious things in the rivers and lakes, but after the first personal experience, it still has a strong impact on him, Lu Yuxuan's various actions before, although he is not a righteous gentleman, but he still does not lose a pure heart, the poisonous needle that shot Yan Ze is only applied with itching and numbness, and the correct antidote to the bone erosion pill in Wu Sansuo is in his arms, and he is ready to send it to Miss Yin when he is ready to say goodbye, and punish Wu San but not kill him.
The heart became cold and hard with the corpse, and a baptism of the soul was underway, and the result was not known whether it was good or bad, as time passed, Lu Yuxuan's mood slowly returned to calm.
Looking at Lu Yuxuan, who was gradually calming down, Hu Kun also put his mind at ease, just now Lu Yuxuan had a tendency to go mad, which made Hu Kun worried.
"Senior brother, what do you think about this matter?" After calming down, Lu Yuxuan asked Hu Kun.
"The father and daughter of the Yin family are missing, they should have been taken away, the people who attacked at night are strong in martial arts, there are many of them, and the forces to which they belong should be very strong, the poisonous word written by Yin Cuitong before his death should represent the Poison Sect, the grievances between the Yin Mansion and the Poison Sect We know that the murder methods are also very similar to the Poison Sect. Hu Kun said his thoughts.
"The word poison should represent the Poison Sect, it is not unexpected that the Poison Sect retaliated against the Yin Mansion, the Yin Yuanwai couple was hiding from the Poison Sect at that time, and what they were afraid of was revenge like this, and the Yin Mansion did not escape this catastrophe after all. Yin Yuanwai returned to Poyang the day before yesterday, there was no accident in Yin's house, maybe there was an accident, but the people in Yin's house did not find out, after Miss Yin returned to her house yesterday, the Poison Sect launched an attack in the evening, indicating that these people from the Poison Sect came to Poyang with Yin's staff, and the purpose was to catch Yin's father and daughter. Where will the Poison Sect arrest people after they are arrested?" Lu Yuxuan said what he thought.
"The Poison Sect wiped out the Yin Mansion, showing that he had a deep grudge against the Yin Mansion, and the capture of their father and daughter should be to vent their anger in person, otherwise it would be easier to kill them directly. Yin Yuan's ancestral house is in Jinling, he came to Poyang from Jinling more than ten years ago, and this time he also returned to Poyang from Jinling, could it be that he was discovered by the Poison Sect in Jinling and followed him to Poyang?" Hu Kun guessed.
"It is very likely that the Tianji Gate will reopen the mountain gate and invite martial arts people to gather in Jinling, and it is not surprising that the Poison Sect will come to join in the fun, I wonder if these people are hiding in the city at the moment, or have they already taken people out of the city?" Lu Yuxuan said.
"If it's hidden in the city, I can send someone to investigate it carefully. Although the gangsters in the city are not very good, they are very well-informed, and it should not take long to find some clues. ā
"Then let's check first, from last night to now, who have gone out of the city, the number is about ten, the martial arts are strong, and they should carry large wooden boxes or carriages, etc., which can be used to hide people. Lu Yuxuan analyzed.
Hu Kun nodded in agreement, the two turned out of the house, found Chen Lin and returned to the Hu mansion, Mrs. Hu saw a few people returning to the mansion, a little surprised, Hu Yuanwai did not say much, and led the two into the study. Summoned Steward Lin to give him instructions, and Steward Lin immediately sent people to the four city gates to investigate.
The incident happened suddenly, and the three of them were thinking about their own things in the study, relatively silent. In an hour or so, news came from the four city gates one after another, and a team of dart masters escorted the dart cart out of the city in the morning at the west gate, with about twenty people. The south gate and north gate did not find a large number of martial arts people out of the city. At the east gate, a group of people went out of the city last night, six on horseback, with weapons on their bodies, to protect a carriage out of the city.
In recent years, there has been no large-scale war, and there has been no curfew in Poyang, so the city gate can still be entered and exited at night, but there are very few people who enter and exit at night, and they carry weapons, so the gatekeepers have taken a few more glances and recognized that this group of people entered the city the afternoon before yesterday.
"After killing people, immediately kidnap people out of the city, the time is in line, go to the east gate, go to the direction of Jinling, which is consistent with our guess. The three of them discussed it and felt that the possibility that the team of dart masters was the murderer was relatively small, and there was an eighty percent chance that the team at the East Gate was the murderer.
"If the group of people who went out of the city when Zishi was a murderer, it means that the person in charge should be in Jinling, and ordered someone to arrest the father and daughter of the Yin family and go to Jinling, so that he can vent his anger in person. It takes about ten days from Poyang to Jinling, and there are many routes, you can also take a boat and take the waterway, we don't have enough manpower, even if we find their whereabouts, the Poison Sect has a lot of people, we can't rescue the Yin family's father and daughter. Not to mention that they can hide people in cars or boats, which are even harder for us to detect. Hu Kun had already decided in his heart that this team of people was the murderer.
"Ten days is too short for us to find and be powerless to rescue. The people of the Poison Sect came from other places, and there were a large number of them, where they lived in the past two days, who they had seen, it should not be difficult to find out, maybe some clues would be found, the Poison Sect has a long heritage, and there are many disciples, if we can find out where a few Poison Sect disciples are, we can get more information. "Lu Yuxuan is very eager to find a few Poison Sect disciples now.
"The grievances between the Poison Sect and the Medicine Sect are well known, but the Poison Sect has not crossed the bottom line of the sect (evil sect), the sect is not easy to interfere in the open, the junior brother can participate in it as an old disciple of the medicine, I will let people check the situation of the people from the Poison Sect. Seeing that Lu Yuxuan wanted to participate in the affairs of the Yin Mansion and deal with the Poison Sect, he agreed very much in his heart, and quietly reminded him to act as an old disciple of the Medicine, so that the Poison Sect could not find an excuse to blame the evil sect.
"What the senior brother said is extremely true, the senior brother should be careful, don't leak your identity, the province will be found by the poison sect. Lu Yuxuan understood a little bit, nodded and said to Hu Kun.
"This is natural, the Yin Mansion reported to the Yamen in advance that I would send someone to take care of the aftermath of the deceased, what do the junior brothers think?" Although the Yamen can't manage the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it is still a report, and it will be much more convenient to deal with the affairs of the people in the Yin Mansion.
"Miss Yin, I must save it, please send some people to protect Chen Lin and return to the sect, let Chen Lin report the matter to Yao Lao in detail, presumably the sect will agree to my rescue." Lu Yuxuan decided not to return to the sect.
"Okay, I will send someone to protect Chen Lin back to the sect. Hu Kun also hoped that Lu Yuxuan could rescue the Yin family's father and daughter, and readily agreed.
"Lin Zi, be careful on the road, after the antidote is prepared, please send someone from the sect to Jinling, I should go to Jinling later." After Hu Kun arranged the escort manpower, Lu Yuxuan saw him off.
"Brother Xuan, how careful you are, the antidote is on me, I hope you can rescue Miss Yin as soon as possible." Chen Lin rode into the distance.
