More than ten days later, the boat sailed along the river to Yiling, Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin got off the boat from here, intending to go north to Huashan, while Xiao Lei and Duan Furong continued to take the boat to the west and went to Chengdu. The four of them parted and said goodbye here, Zhang Linxin instructed Duan Furong many words, and Dugu Jian reminded Xiao Lei again, asking him to tell the Lei gang leader about the assassination plan of the Five Colors Sect.

After the four of them said goodbye to each other, Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin watched the boat gradually disappear into the distance, and also turned to the north and walked along the road to Huashan. Along the way, the two of them kept hurrying. Within two days of traveling, they came to the territory of Fangzhou. It was almost evening, and the two of them found a tea house in the city to rest. After sitting down for less than a moment, I heard someone discussing: "If you want to say that this Qiu family is a miserable, the entire twenty-six family members have all been wiped out." One person said: "This old man Qiu is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, his seventy-two hands to fight the divine whip, is also a rare opponent, this time the whole family was killed in one night, what a big opponent do you say." ”

"Old Man Qiu's kung fu is so high, who can kill him?"

"Who knows. How can we people understand what is going on in the rivers and lakes? But those who kill people are too ruthless. ”

"Yes, yes, you didn't look at it, I was out looking at the corpses, and the corpses that were brought out were really miserable. ”

"If you want me to say, Old Man Qiu is kind and charitable, fights righteousness and squanders money, and always does some good deeds, how could he be killed by someone in a good manner?"

"I think, this has nothing to do with the golden dog, you see, it's been three days, the yamen just collected and buried the corpse, and didn't investigate the case at all, if it wasn't for the golden dog's order, how could it be dealt with like this?"

"Shhh

Zhang Linxin asked in a low voice: "Brother Dugu, who is this old man Qiu?" Dugu Jian replied: "Well, I have heard the master say that this 'Golden Whip' Qiu Ming Xinqiu Old Man is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes. However, I have never heard that he has made enemies with others, and he has lived in seclusion all these years, not caring about the world, but he doesn't know how the whole family can be killed tragically. Zhang Linxin nodded, "Brother Dugu, it seems that there must be something inside here." ”

"Yes, Lin'er, there must be a big reason for this kind of thing, and since we have encountered it, we have to take care of it. ”

"Brother Dugu, do you want to explore Qiu's Mansion at night?" the girl looked at the sky that was already early, her heart moved, and she asked.

Dugu Jian nodded, "Yes, let's go to Qiu Mansion tonight." At that moment, the two of them thought about it, found a ready-to-wear shop, bought two black clothes, and found a dilapidated and uninhabited house to hide, preparing to wait until after dark to explore Qiu's mansion at night.

In the middle of the night, the two of them evaded patrols and guards, quietly sneaked to Qiu's mansion, climbed over the high wall, and entered the courtyard. At this time, the moonlight was shining brightly in the Qiu Mansion compound, which was very bright. The two of them looked carefully, only to see that the ground was messy, a mess, and broken flowers and branches were scattered everywhere. On both sides of the stone-paved aisle, there was a meadow full of flowers, but a large area of flowers and plants had been crushed to the ground, and the blood stains on them had turned dark red, so I thought that someone must have been killed here at that time.

Walking along the aisle to the house, the two came to the main hall, only to see that the door of the house was wide open, the tables and chairs in the hall also fell to the ground, and there were also large blood stains on the wall and the ground, and the traces of the fight were also very obvious. The more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, and Zhang Linxin opened his mouth and asked softly: "Brother Dugu, you said that Old Man Qiu's kung fu is so high, who can kill his entire family overnight? Could it be that Nangong is destroyed again?"

Dugu Jian shook his head and said: "In my opinion, it doesn't look like Nangong was killed here, he fought with your father that day, I see that his martial arts are all open and closed, and his strength is also very strong." And what you see here, except for the whip marks of Old Man Qiu, there are no traces left by such a strong force. And you see, it doesn't seem to be done by one person, like a lot of people came in together. He pointed around and told the girl to look. He walked to the side of the main seat again, leaned down and looked, there was a broken teacup on the ground, and there were still a lot of tea leaves left in it. He hurriedly called Zhang Linxin to come over, "Lin'er, you see, there are still tea leaves in this teacup, it seems that Old Man Qiu was entertaining guests at that time, otherwise, he should not have sat on the main seat and drank tea." Zhang Linxin replied: "Then if you want to say that, these people he entertained must be the ones who killed them." ”

"It's very likely, it's just that there are twenty-six members of the Qiu family, and none of them escaped, it seems that the murderers who came at that time must be murderous and cruel, but ......"

"Brother Dugu, come and see!" Zhang Lin didn't know what he had found, and hurriedly shouted. Dugu Jian walked over, only to see Zhang Linxin holding a purple cloth in his hand, "Brother Dugu, do you look familiar?" Dugu Jian took it, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Lin'er, where did you find it?" Zhang Linxin pointed to the chair that was turned on the ground, "I was pressed by this chair, I saw it, I felt familiar, so I took it out." ”

"Well, this purple cloth is not very common, and I have the impression that only the killer leaders of the Five Colors Sect wear this color. Dugu Jian thought about it carefully. Zhang Linxin also nodded, "Yes, Brother Dugu, look at this pattern, it is exactly the same as the purple-shirted killer we killed in Wuyi Mountain that day, could it be that this is the work of the Five-Color Sect?"

Dugu Jian was very puzzled in his heart, and said: "Lin'er, if it is said that the Five Colors Sect did it, then what is their purpose? And the guests that Old Man Qiu received before were also them? How could Old Man Qiu mix with them? This point doesn't make sense." Zhang Lin thought for a while and asked: "Brother Dugu, do you see if there is such a possibility, that is, the old man Qiu was originally entertaining the guests, and when the guests left, the Five Colors Sect came to the door, and the old man Qiu was caught off guard, and the whole family was killed." ”

"No, Lin'er, you can't be at the right time, if you were entertaining guests before, after the guests leave, the servants will inevitably come to clean up these cups, if the five-color sect kills at this time, then the guests will definitely be poisoned, if the guests have already left, then the house must have been cleaned up, how can there be so many traces?" Dugu Jian carefully scrutinized before replying. Zhang Lin thought about it for a while, felt that this was really good, and asked rhetorically: "Brother Dugu, do you mean that the people of the Five Colors Sect are the guests entertained by Old Man Qiu?"

"If we extrapolate from what we have seen before, it should be. But how could Old Man Qiu be involved with the people of the Five Colors Sect? I can't figure this out. The two of them fell into deep thought.

Everything in this room shows that it must have been while the guests were entertaining, and suddenly there was a fight. And the remaining piece of purple cloth, its pattern also shows that it should be left by the leader of the Five-Color Sect killer. But Qiu Mingxin is also a martial arts upright, a heroic man in the rivers and lakes, how could he have a relationship with the Five Colors Sect? The two imagined countless possibilities, but they were still puzzled.

At this time, they heard a very light footstep sound from the courtyard, "Someone comes in! Hide first!" The two exchanged their minds, glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and then dodged and hid behind the door. After a while, a man dressed in white walked in, and he also looked around, stopping from time to time, not knowing what to think. Kenshin and Kenshin hid behind the door, holding their breath, afraid of being discovered, and did not dare to look outside. Although we know that there is only one person who has come, but we do not know whether this person is friend or foe, and what is the purpose of coming here?

After a while, the man seemed to notice nothing in the house, so he turned and walked out, stood in the courtyard, sighed softly, and looked up at the moon. Zhang Linxin quietly poked her head out and glanced at it. In the bright moonlight, she only saw the man standing sideways, she looked at the man's face, but she exclaimed, dodged and ran out quickly.

Dugu Jian didn't know what to do, and he didn't see that person, thinking that he was some kind of enemy or something, for fear that Zhang Linxin would suffer, so he hurriedly followed out. And when the man heard Zhang Linxin's exclamation, he turned around and saw that it was Zhang Rumeng, who was rescued by the man in red that day!

After Zhang Linxin ran out, he stood on the steps and shouted softly: "Brother!" Zhang Rumeng was also taken aback when he saw Zhang Linxin, "Sister, why are you here?" Dugu Jian also walked out, he didn't expect to meet Zhang Rumeng here!

Zhang Linxin was surprised and happy when he saw his brother, but suddenly he thought of his deceased father, and suddenly felt very sad in his heart, and two lines of tears slowly flowed out of his eyes, "Brother, daddy, daddy...... He, has already ......" Zhang Rumeng had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, what's wrong with Dad?" Zhang Linxin covered his mouth, sobbed and cried, unable to say a word. Zhang Rumeng was very anxious, walked closer, and took his sister's hand, "Dad, what's wrong with him?" Zhang Linxin threw herself into Zhang Rumeng's arms and cried loudly.
