Chapter 31: Murders Succession

As soon as the two of them came to the guest room of the city lord's mansion and sat down, there was a knock on the door, and Han Yan stepped forward to open the door to see that it was Zhang Yuming, the son of Donghe, the leader of Youlong City.

Han Yan saw that Zhang Yuming was only coming alone, and it stands to reason that he had just arrived in the guest room and didn't have dinner so quickly, so he was a little puzzled: "Young Master Zhang, who are you?"

Seeing Han Yan open the door, Zhang Yuming glanced left and right and said in a low voice, "Master Han, can you let me in first." ”

Seeing Zhang Yuming's cautious expression, Han Yan knew that there must be something important to say, so he didn't ink and nodded, but when Zhang Yuming walked in and closed the door again, he deliberately stretched out his head to look outside the door, as if he was afraid that someone would know that he came to find Han Yan and the two, which also made the atmosphere in the room more and more solemn.

After the two sat down, Han Yan poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yuming, the man who had become abnormal since he entered the city lord's mansion did not speak, but closed the windows in the room, and glanced at Jiang Zichuan, who seemed to be asleep lying on the bed.

Han Yan understood, nodded with a smile, and said, "Young Master Zhang, please say, Brother Zichuan is not an outsider. ”

Zhang Yuming's nervous expression relaxed slightly, picked up the teacup and took a big sip, and after putting down the teacup, he saw that Han Yan was about to pour tea again, and he didn't even say it before he spoke: "Just now the two of you mentioned your father in the hall, and I wanted to explain to the two of you, but ......"

"But the second lady in the mansion?" As soon as Zhang Yuming said, Han Yan remembered that as soon as the second lady appeared, Zhang Yuming's face became extremely gloomy, and when he saw Zhang Yuming's hesitant expression, he spoke up.

Zhang Yuming was a little surprised, wondering why Han Yan knew, and was about to ask, he saw that Han Yan just shook his head, let him continue, and then nodded and continued: "Actually, my father didn't ask the lord for help, but I sent a letter of help privately with the city lord's seal. ”

It seemed that seeing Han Yan's puzzlement, Zhang Yuming did not continue to sell Guanzi: "Han Gongzi, you don't know, now my father is sick in bed, and recently the city and outside the city are not peaceful, the people are complaining, and I am helpless." ”

"In that case, Young Master Zhang should handle these things for Ling Zun, could it be that this matter has something to do with the second lady?"

"I'm going to talk about this, originally Youlong City has been peaceful for more than ten years, my father has always loved the people like a son since he took office, but he didn't fall into a bad reputation, it's just a ......", Zhang Yuming's face suddenly became a little sad and angry when he said this, "It's just that everything has changed since my father rescued the woman in the Youlong Forest, and my father has become a non-caring thing in the city, just for fun, and even the management of all the big and small things in the city has been handed over to the fork fork fork ......"

According to what Zhang Yuming said, this should be the matter of the Longyang Empire, why do you want to call a cultivator to help: "Young Master Zhang, on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, I saw that the faces of the pedestrians on the road were a little nervous, but it was related to the matter of Ling Zun?"

Zhang Yuming nodded, and then lowered his voice and said: "I asked the Lord for help precisely for this matter, because recently, there have been frequent disappearances of Orions and Traders in Youlong City, and then a few days later, the missing person appeared at the entrance of the forest, and ...... And they were all dead, and even their bodies became like dried corpses, and their hearts were gone. ”

Zhang Yuming said that even his face changed, and his body seemed to be trembling a little, Han Yan patted him on the shoulder when he saw it, as if he felt what Han Yan meant, Zhang Yuming took a deep breath, and then continued: "Actually, I should have taken Han Gongzi to see the corpse, but those corpses were burned by the fork fork for the reason of calming the people's hearts, this woman also issued a decree that it was done by the beast in the forest, I have never seen any beast that only attacks a man in the prime of life, sucks up the blood of the person, and only eats the heart." ”

"Does Ling Zun know about this?"

Zhang Yuming shook his head a little decadently: "Although I had some suspicions, and I once talked to my father about it, but my father not only ignored it, but also reprimanded me and told me not to pay attention to this matter in the future, but I didn't give up, and I was still secretly investigating, and finally by chance, I finally found out that these people had been to the Wanhua Building before they disappeared......"

As soon as he heard Zhang Yuming mention Wanhualou, Han Yan remembered the place where he met Jiang Zichuan today and the Chun Thirteen Niang who made Han Yan feel very uncomfortable, "This is related to Wanhualou?"

"Young master, the meal has been prepared. ”

Zhang Yuming was about to continue talking, but an old voice came from outside the door, presumably it should be a servant in the city lord's mansion, Zhang Yuming hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Uncle Quan, I'll go over." ”

The servant called Uncle Quan answered, Han Yan heard footsteps in the distance, and first glanced at Zhang Yuming suspiciously, this man who was extremely nervous just now said to Han Yan loudly, he went over first to see if it was ready, if it was good, he would ask Han Yan to go over and have dinner together.

Han Yan nodded and sent Zhang Yuming out of the door, and the man laughed and left.

After Han Yan closed the door, he frowned, although Zhang Yuming had been smiling on his face just now, and the voice was also extremely happy, but Han Yan saw the nervousness in his eyes, although he felt that it was related to that Uncle Quan, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and sit on the stool.

"Zichuan, what do you think?"

Han Yan said this to Jiang Zichuan, who had been asleep since the beginning on the bed, but Jiang Zichuan was motionless, looking like he was sleeping deeply, Han Yan didn't say anything when he saw it, just poured a cup of tea and drank it.

It didn't take long for Jiang Zichuan, who was lying down, to turn over and stand up, with a smile on his face and said, "Brother, how do you know that I didn't sleep?"

Han Yan wanted to speak, but the grinning Jiang Zichuan shook his head, and said in his mouth: "Come on, come on, brother, I'll show you a good thing, it's definitely valuable." While saying something that Han Yan didn't understand, he walked directly to Han Yan and sat down, took out a piece of paper and a pen from the wooden box placed next to the table as soon as he entered the door, and in Han Yan's puzzled gaze, he took the pen and wrote on the paper, and then handed the paper and pen to Han Yan together, Han Yan took it and looked at it, but it was written on the four words that the partition wall has ears.

Han Yan's heart froze, and he knew the bends in it, and he also talked about Jiang Zichuan's topic, but he held the pen in his hand and wrote on the paper: "When did you find out?"

Jiang Zichuan just glanced at it and wrote: "From the time that Uncle Zhong came just now, the reason why I didn't let you use your divine sense to block it was because I was afraid that someone would sense the fluctuation of true qi, and I guess that the person who killed the missing person might be a demon ......."

"Demon?"

Han Yan thought of what he saw in his nameless book, didn't it say that the demons were all in Xilan, how could the Dongyang Empire also have it?

What Han Yan thought in his heart was roughly written on the paper, Jiang Zichuan only thought about it slightly, and wrote: "You are right, but this demon is also divided into demon beasts promoted by beasts and goblins promoted by plants, which is also divided into innate and acquired, congenital is a demon born by a parent who cultivates profoundly, then it is born into a demon, and there are many kinds of acquired demons, one of the most common two is to encounter a great opportunity to become a demon, and the other is to become a demon by absorbing the essence of all things." ”

When Jiang Zichuan finished writing the last sentence, he also took a deep look at Han Yan, and he didn't know what he was expressing.

Han Yan just thought for a while, and then he knew what Jiang Zichuan wanted to say, just now Zhang Yuming also said that there have been frequent disappearances in the Youlong City recently, and then the corpses appeared at the entrance of the Youlong Forest, those corpses not only looked like dried corpses, but even the heart was gone, presumably it should be the extreme method of becoming a demon that Jiang Zichuan said, by sucking the blood of a strong man to improve his cultivation, just what does he want his heart to do?

Han Yan was about to take a pen, but Jiang Zichuan next to him quietly put away the paper and pen, Han Yan was puzzled at the same time, but someone outside the door asked the two of them to go to the dining room to eat, it sounded like it should be the voice of Uncle Zhong, Han Yan hadn't spoken yet, Jiang Zichuan, who had already put the paper and pen into the wooden bookbox, answered, and then picked up the wooden bookcase and made a look at Han Yan, and opened the door,

Sure enough, there was an old figure standing outside the door, looking very popular, just like an old man he met casually on the street, but there was no kind expression of the old man on his face, but he just looked very wooden, presumably it should be Uncle Zhong.

When Uncle Zhong saw the door open, he whispered a word The two guests came with me, and walked to the front, and Han Yan, who had already carried the Ziyao Sword behind him, also walked out, glanced at Jiang Zichuan who was standing at the door, nodded slightly, and the two followed Uncle Zhong, who was not far behind, to the dining room.

When Han Yan and Jiang Zichuan followed the Zhong uncle to the dining room, there were already two people sitting at the dining table, one of them was Zhang Yuming, whose face was a little gloomy, and the other was the second lady.

After the loyal uncle came to the dining room with the two of them, he stood aside and hung his head silently. And it seemed that seeing Han Yan and Jiang Zichuan coming over, the second lady, who was extremely charming, stood up with a smile and walked towards the two, making Zhang Yuming, who was trying to get up, pause and snort coldly.

"Because the master is sick, he can only be greeted by the concubine, and please don't forgive the two sons. The second lady, who was already standing in front of Han Yan and the others, bent down and gave a salute, and the clothes that were already a little revealing suddenly couldn't cover much, and Han Yan could see the chasm when he looked down.

Han Yan's face turned red when he saw it, his brows furrowed and he didn't speak, but Jiang Zichuan next to him said with a smile: "Madame, don't be polite, let me fill my stomach first." ”

Jiang Zichuan said and walked towards the dining table with a hungry stomach, and the second lady, who had already straightened up, suddenly realized: "It's all because the concubine is negligent, so please ask the two sons to drink a few glasses of wine first." After speaking, the second lady shook her graceful figure and walked towards the dining table, and turned her head to look at Han Yan charmingly, and said coquettishly: "Childe, why are you still standing there, are you angry with the concubine?"

Han Yan just suddenly smelled a very strange smell, and before he could tell what it was, he heard the soft voice of the second lady, so he came back to his senses, confessed his guilt, walked to the dining table and sat on the stool when the second lady was smiling, and deliberately glanced at Zhang Yuming, who was looking at him.

There are all kinds of delicacies on the dinner table, but although the food is in front, Han Yan doesn't have much appetite, because the atmosphere at the dinner table is very strange, Zhang Yuming, who was originally acquainted, has been calm, but the second lady has been smiling coquettishly.

I don't know if it's the reason why Jiang Zichuan called his wife and didn't call him the second lady, but the second lady kept chatting with Jiang Zichuan drinking wine, and covered her mouth and laughed from time to time, but Han Yan caught a glimpse of the second lady looking at him all the time from the corner of his eye, his heart moved, and he didn't speak.

The second lady suddenly stopped talking to Jiang Zichuan, and said with a smile: "The concubine's name is Hu Yuchen, and I haven't known the names of the two sons, I don't know if I can tell them?"

Hu Yuchen's words sounded like asking the names of the two, but his eyes kept looking at Han Yan, and even Han Yan didn't know why the second lady kept staring at him, and he didn't talk, but Jiang Zichuan next to him laughed loudly and said with a smile: "My name is Jiang Zichuan, his name is Han Yan, he is a scholar who reads dead books, don't be surprised, madam." ”

Hu Yuchen seemed to be a little disappointed, and she didn't know why she was a little disappointed, but she smiled slightly: "Childe is laughing." ”

Then the four of them ate like this, and somehow Hu Yuchen suddenly stood up, still holding a wine jug in his hand, but when Han Yan was puzzled, he saw Hu Yuchen actually walking next to him, with a look of grievance on his face: "Master Han, why don't you drink?" Are you still angry with your concubine?"

"I don't drink. ”

He also said that he was not angry with the concubine, so the concubine punished herself with three cups. ”

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Hu Yuchen directly picked up the wine glass in front of Han Yan and drank it clean, although Han Yan had not drunk that glass of wine, but this made him frown.

Hu Yuchen didn't seem to see Han Yan frowning, he poured two glasses of wine with the wine jug in his hand and drank it, and then poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Han Yan, his face seemed to be red because he had drunk too much, and said in a flattering voice: "Childe, the concubine has already punished herself for three glasses, so you drink this glass of bar!"

Han Yan didn't see Hu Yuchen's charming appearance, but he looked at the lip prints on the wine glass and didn't like it even more, but he had a cold face: "Second lady, I never drink." ”

Although he was called the second lady, Hu Yuchen was not angry, and sent the glass of wine to Han Yan's mouth, Han Yan had the intention to dodge and retreated, but Hu Yuchen screamed, and the glass of wine was all sprinkled on Han Yan, Hu Yuchen also seemed to be worried about Han Yan's scolding, so he hurriedly bent down and wiped the wine stains on Han Yan's body with his hands. I don't know if it's intentional, the clothes that were already a little revealing are even more visible at this moment, and the towering place has rubbed Han Yan's arm from time to time, and the little hand that is wiping wine stains is also wiping the sensitive part of Han Yan.

It's just that Han Yan suddenly smelled a fragrance rushing to his nose, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he just stood up directly, regardless of whether he would bump into Hu Yuchen in a hurry and said, "I'll just go back to the room and change clothes." ”

Jiang Zichuan, who didn't seem to notice these things, raised his head at the moment, as if he had just seen it, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he got up and walked to Han Yan, and said with a smile: "Madam, this friend of mine doesn't know how to be polite, so I'll take him to change his clothes, and ask Madame and Young Master Zhang not to be surprised." ”

After speaking, he ignored the reactions of the two, and walked out of the hall with Han Yan on his hand, unfortunately he just ran into Hu Yuchen's maid who had not appeared just now, this was still carrying the basket last time The maid just bent down and saluted, Han Yan and Jiang Zichuan nodded, and the maid walked past the two, but Han Yan suddenly paused, and then Jiang Zichuan pulled him away.

And Zhang Yuming, who had been silent, stood up with a gloomy face, snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and walked away, and the loyal uncle also followed with his head down.

And the maid carrying the basket walked directly to the thoughtful Hu Yuchen and whispered in his ear, Hu Yuchen's face changed, nodded slightly and left with the maid one after the other.
