"I will definitely persuade Li Xiaozu to come and surrender as soon as possible. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Knowing that it was superfluous to say anything, Weng Changling sighed and said: "General Chai must not die in vain, human beings must abandon their previous suspicions, brainstorm ideas, and face the threat from the common enemy." ”

After Weng Changling finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a soldier running to report: "Commander Mei, it's not good, Li Minzhu and her entourage have been killed!"

"What?" Mei Ji and Weng Changling both cried out in shock.

didn't care about disliking each other anymore, Mei Ji hurriedly put away the iron hands and feet left by Chai Shaoning.

A strange feeling came, Chai Shaoning's iron hands and feet were obviously more than twice as heavy as steel of the same volume.

But at this time, Mei Ji didn't have the heart to think about it at all, so she asked people to take good care of Chai Shaoning's "relics", and the rest of the matter was handed over to the soldiers at the scene.

――――

"We locked the prisoners in this gatehouse and sent people to the yamen to deliver the letters. ”

The city gate guard on duty was still pale, and pointed to the door of a room built under the stone steps of the upper city tower and said, "But when Ding Zhutou came to pick up people with his officials......

Weng Changling didn't wait for the city gate official to finish speaking, and he had already rushed over with an arrow and pushed open the door of the building.

The scene in the house was terrible. Li Minzhu and eight of her men were all hit in the head with blunt objects, and their brains burst to death.

"Min Zhu!" Weng Changling screamed in pain, Huo Di turned around, stared at the city gate official with blood-red eyes, and said, "How do you ensure the safety of prisoners?"

can't even protect his own nephew, Weng Changling is not only sad, but also discredited, and has no way to explain to his junior brother.

"Don't get excited. Although Mei Ji has no good impression of Weng Changling, Li Minzhu died in Beijing inexplicably, if this matter is not handled well, Li Xiaozu will definitely refuse to give up, and even the one-eyed master Cheng Zashi, who has always been reluctant to participate in the world, may also be furious because of the tragic death of his apprentice. When the time comes, another catastrophe will occur.

"The other party killed nine people in an instant, and he used such a violent move, but he didn't alarm the guards outside the house at all, and his skill was so high that he could do whatever he wanted. ”

Mei Ji was afraid that Weng Changling would break out and hurt people when his emotions were out of control, so she quickly analyzed: "If this person is looking for revenge, he is by no means an unknown person, you should have an impression of the enemy who fits this kind of move and behavior." But if we are not seeking revenge, we should calm down and find out this common enemy. ”

"Alas!" Weng Changling sighed.

Although he doesn't often walk around the rivers and lakes, he is still mighty, and he has never been like today, he can only sigh one after another, but he is powerless.

It seems that only by finding the enemy and avenging the great revenge for the master and nephew, can he have an explanation to his junior brother and an explanation to Li Xiaozu after he goes back, and he can also reduce his guilt a little.

Seeing that Weng Changling was no longer impulsive, Mei Ji put her mind at ease, temporarily put aside all the worries caused by Chai Shaoning's disappearance, and called the head catcher surnamed Ding and asked, "You have already seen the scene, in your opinion, who will do this case?"

To grasp errands and handle cases, the experience of catching fast people should be a little richer.

Ding Zhutou looks like he is in his forties, not tall, with small eyes, and two whiskers. Hearing Mei Ji ask him, he blinked his mung bean eyes and said, "It shouldn't be a vendetta." ”

"Why?" asked Magi.

Ding Zhutou said: "The scene seems to be tragic, but in fact, the person did not suffer much before he died. If the murderer used such cruel methods because of his hatred for these people, with his clever method of killing nine people in an instant, he could have chosen another opportunity to slowly torture Li Minzhu and others. The murderer must choose this time to act, and the intention is very clear, that is, to prevent Li Xiaozu from throwing himself into the court. ”

"But if it's just to create hatred between the court and Li Xiaozu, the murderer only needs to kill Li Minzhu, and there is no need to use such a fierce move. Mei Ji was puzzled: "After all, by doing this, the murderer has to bear the risk of alarming the officers and soldiers outside the house, and once his identity is revealed, it will be self-defeating." ”

"It is also possible that it was precisely because the killer was afraid of revealing his identity. Ding Zhutou said: "The weapon or move used by the murderer must be very special, in order to conceal his identity, he chose this extremely destructive way." ”

"Hewenbo!"

When Weng Changling heard this, his eyes suddenly turned blood-red.

No wonder when Minzhu sent someone to contact He Wenbo, he suddenly disappeared. It turned out that he wanted to sneak in alone and secretly pick up the profits of the fisherman!" Weng Changling said hatefully: "The territory of the Western Regions is either grassland, desert, barren beach, and Gobi, and the people living on it have a violent temperament. The scimitar moves made by He Wenbo are very different from those of the Central Plains martial arts, although he did not use a knife in order to hide people's eyes, but this cruel method just exposed the weakness of their character. ”

But Mei Ji carefully observed the tragic scene in the house again, with a look of shock and fear on her face.

Weng Changling knew that Mei Ji must have made some discovery, or thought of some clues? Just as he was about to ask, suddenly another soldier hurried from the direction of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and shouted "Commander Mei" from a long distance. ”

"What happened again?" From last night to this afternoon, the things experienced were mixed with joy and sorrow, twists and turns, Mei Ji had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, and now seeing the soldier's frightened face, she asked a little woodenly and overwhelmed.

"Well, that corpseβ€”" The soldier hesitated, not knowing how to describe it, and simply said, "Go and see it." ”

Li Minzhu's death was a foregone conclusion, and Mei Ji temporarily handed over the body to Ding Zhutou to take away, and instructed him to keep it properly so that when Weng Changling returned to Fuzhou, the body could be transported back to his hometown.

Over there, Ding Zhutou sent someone to call him and at the same time began to investigate the case, and here Mei Ji and Weng Changling hurried back to the big pit inside the Suzaku Gate with the soldiers who reported the news.

The two of them had just left, and a carriage outside the city happened to drive under the closed Shangyuan Gate.

"Who is it? The city gate is blocked, and it is forbidden to enter or exit!"

In the midst of the loud threats and shouts of the soldiers at the head of the city, a slender figure with a charming and very mature charm of a woman came out of the carriage, raised her beautiful face, held a golden waist card in her hand, and rushed up and shouted: "Official, the people's daughter Fang Zhenru, there is a gold medal for the prince of loyalty and righteousness here, I want to see Marshal Chai!"

――――

Standing on the edge of the big pit inside the Vermilion Bird Gate and looking down, Mei Ji and Weng Changling were also startled.

I saw a bloody corpse lying at the bottom of the pit, as terrible as being stripped of its skin.

That's not all, just on the blood-drenched surface of the corpse, like tiny water particles splashed into a hot oil pot, a dense blood mist kept splashing, but there was no such "crackling" sound, quietly exuding a terrifying atmosphere.

Even the dagger that Weng Changling couldn't lift before, which seemed to be extremely precious, was foaming at the surface at this time, like a dry bone that was rapidly decaying under the scorching sun.
