Chapter 146: Orphans
I saw an orchard not far in front of me, behind the orchard, a large green crop field, surrounded by a small village of 100 families, and the ordinary farm village on the Qingzhou Plain is no different, the chicken is crowing and the dog is barking, a pastoral scenery.
At this time, the coachman said in a low voice: "Son, not far from the Doujiazhuang where Xiong Weiyuan's family lives, I can only send you here and say goodbye." ”
So saying, the coachman turned the carriage around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute. Tan Yang said, "Since it's not far away, it's better to trouble you to send me to their house, and it's not too late to leave." ”
The coachman was embarrassed: "Son, forgive me, Boss Li only ordered me to send you to the edge of the village." You also know that if this matter is known by the Lin family, not only Boss Li, but also I will have to be unlucky. Childe should go in and find it by himself, such a small village, you will know as soon as you ask. ”
The small village in front of him didn't seem to be fortified, and some villagers came in and out at will, since the matter of Weiyuan's dart bureau had been leaked, how could the Lin family allow Xiong Weiyuan's family to be so free, weren't they afraid that they would escape? Or did they really let them go?
Thinking of this, Tan Yang was full of doubts in his heart, and said, "Isn't the Xiong family already ruined? Whose property is this manor?"
The coachman said: "I don't know about this, I'm just a coachman, and the son asked the wrong person." ”
"Really?" Tan Yang smiled coldly and said, "From Yishui City to here, it is only half an hour at most, and it took Your Excellency more than two hours to go around and around, what is going on?"
The coachman's face changed greatly, and he said, "I have already said that I rarely go out of the city. So it's the wrong way. ”
"Wrong?" Tan Yang said, "If you go the wrong way." Then why did you get me here without getting out of the car and asking for directions? It doesn't matter if you took the wrong road just now. But if you continue to make mistakes now, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to split the void, and struck a reed across the river on a big stone on the side of the road, only to hear a bang, and in the flying stone chips, the hard boulder was split in half!
"Say, what's going on here?"
The coachman's face was full of horror, and he said in fear: "Gongzi spares his life, I only know that Doujiazhuang is actually the Lin family's farm." The village was inhabited by slaves or tenants of the farms, and nothing else was known. ”
"The Lin family's property?"
Tan Yang was even more puzzled, even if the Lin family was generous, but according to Xiong Ying'er's temperament, how could he live in the territory of killing his father's enemy? "Let me ask you, why did you deliberately go around just now? Who was instructed by whom?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. The coachman hugged and said, "The little one was indeed lost just now, and he thought about it again as he walked." Before leaving, Gongzi also heard Boss Li's instructions. Let me go early and come back early, how dare the little one deliberately take a detour?"
Although Tan Yang didn't believe it in his heart, this coachman was extremely slippery, and it was probably difficult to get the truth out of his mouth. At this time, it seemed inappropriate to torture him to extract a confession, so he had to wave his hand and let him go.
"Drive!"
The coachman was pardoned. Hurriedly jumped into the carriage and ran away.
Tan Yang was secretly on guard. Walk towards the Dou Jiazhuang in the distance, and get the tiger without entering the tiger's den. Even if it's a Longtan tiger's den here, you have to break in.
Yishui City. Lin family compound.
In the palatial hall, an old man with crane hair and a childish face sat in the center, and there were five or six leaders of the Lin family sitting around him, and Boss Li of the teahouse was standing in front of everyone, saying something with a frightened face.
This old man is none other than Lin Lun, the ancestor of the Lin family.
"Boss Li, our Lin family has always treated you well, right?" said one of the brocade-robed old men in their fifties, "You led that immortal cultivator to Doujiazhuang, are you on his side or our Lin family?"
Lin Lun waved his hand and said, "Don't blame him, he just did the right thing." ”
A middle-aged man in gray said: "However, Xiong Weiyuan's wife and children live in Doujiazhuang, wouldn't this expose the target?" I know that Boss Li wants to delay as much time as possible, but you can completely point that immortal cultivator elsewhere, why do you have to say Doujiazhuang?"
Boss Li said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, please think about it, once that immortal cultivator sees Xiong Weiyuan's wife and children, he will definitely come to the rescue, right? If he really wanted to go back to the city to look for trouble, he would have a helpless woman and a toddler who could just walk by his side, and he would naturally be constrained. ”
"Hehe, it's yours. The middle-aged man in gray said with a smile, "It is worthy of opening a teahouse, well-informed, and cunning." Boss Li, when this matter is over, our Lin family will definitely be rewarded. ”
"Old Ancestor, do you think this immortal cultivator is the real murderer who killed Yan'er?" said the old man in the brocade robe,
Lin Lun said: "Nine times out of ten, it must be him, otherwise how could he come to stand up for the Xiong family for no reason?"
The old man in the brocade robe is Lin Yan's father, although his son has always been a mischievous son, but after all, he is his own flesh and blood, now since the murderer has thrown himself into the net, how can he let it go? He said sadly and indignantly: "Okay, well, I just fought for this old life, and I also want to get justice for Yan'er." ”
Lin Lun frowned and said: "This immortal cultivator killed Yan'er and more than 20 family members in one fell swoop, it is definitely not to be underestimated, this matter is a matter of life and death for my Lin family, we must act cautiously." ”
The gray-clothed middle-aged man said, "Ancestor, didn't you already ask the Qingyang Sect for help just now? No matter how powerful this immortal cultivator is, can he still resist the Qingyang Sect?"
Lin Lun said: "You don't know, Qingyang Sect is just afraid of the power of our Immortal Tower, it is impossible to really help us, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if Qingyang Sect stands by and watches? ”
The middle-aged man in gray said in horror: "That...... So what to do?"
Lin Lun pondered for a moment and said, "For the sake of prudence, you first gather all your hands to stand by, and then hurry up to prepare for the secret marriage ceremony, and act immediately when you are ready, Xiong Ying'er will die and everything will be over." If someone really comes to find trouble, once the time comes, we will send a large sum of money, and maybe we can perfunctory the matter. In this way, we can attack and retreat, and we should be invincible. ”
The old man in the brocade robe said: "However, three years of filial piety have not yet been completed, and Xiong Ying'er may not give in." ”
Lin Lun's face sank, and he said, "Now that the matter is over, I can't help her." Without further ado, let's split up!"
On the outskirts of Yishui City. Doujiazhuang.
As soon as Tan Yang approached the edge of the village, five or six big men with swords in their hands greeted him, and the man in Tsing Yi who was the leader shouted: "Stop, this is the Lin family's manor, and the idle people can't wait!"
"Hehe, it's so majestic. Tan Yang said with a smile, "This brother Tai is a distant relative of the head of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau Xiong, and I heard that his widow lived here and came to visit, and I hope that Brother Tai will have a convenient trip." ”
"Xiong Weiyuan's distant relative?" Dahan laughed loudly, "Okay, good, come well, Xiong Weiyuan killed our eldest young master, and you dare to go forward and throw yourself into the net." Brothers, take him down for me and give it to the head of the house!"
"Yes!"
The guards of the manor agreed in unison, dancing and swords.
Tan Yang was not shocked or confused, no matter how strong these mortals were, they were like mustard in his eyes, he didn't stop walking, his hands were raised, and in the shadow of his palms, the guards fell to the ground one by one, lying on the ground and fainting, and the sword fell to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man at the head turned and fled, shouting as he ran: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
Tan Yang unfolded his body, cast the Wind Shadow Thousand Transformations and snatched it up in a few steps, flew up and slashed off the steel knife in his hand with one palm, and then struck the Thousand Soul Devouring Handprint!
The shouting of the man in Tsing Yi stopped abruptly, and was replaced by a heart-rending scream, rolling on the ground, and he couldn't even beg for mercy.
At this time, more than a dozen manor guards armed with swords, and some villagers with sticks and hoes, ran over from the village one after another, but in the beast-like howl of the big man in Tsing Yi, no one dared to step forward, and one by one they were full of panic and looked at the scene in front of them.
It wasn't until the miserable howl of the man in Tsing Yi was so hoarse that Tan Yang pointed a little, removed the Thousand Soul Devouring Hand on his body, and said coldly: "This brother, now, can I go to see the family of Mr. Xiong's darthead?"
The big man in Tsing Yi staggered up, looked at the polite blue-clothed young man in front of him like a snake and scorpion, and said tremblingly: "Son, spare my life, I ...... I'll take you there. ”
Tan Yang glanced at the people in front of him, and said indifferently: "I count to three, if anyone dares to stay within ten zhang of me, they will kill themselves, one ......."
As soon as the words fell, all the manor guards and villagers ran away and dispersed.
Under the guidance of the man in Tsing Yi, Tan Yang soon came to a small farmhouse in the middle of the village, the mud-walled thatched hut was dilapidated but very clean.
In the middle of the yard, a tiger-headed child was playing, probably just learning to walk, he almost fell in three steps, and when he fell to the ground, he frowned and cried a few times, and then staggered back to his feet.
At the door of the hut sat a woman with dull eyes and disheveled white hair, and no matter how the child fell and cried, she turned a deaf ear, neither got up nor spoken, but sat in a state of distraction, motionless.
"Mrs. Bear!"
Tan Yang's heart was sour, when she first saw Mrs. Xiong in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, she looked like she was only in her thirties, and now less than two years have passed, but she has been reduced to an old woman in her last years.
Tan Yang turned to the big man in Tsing Yi and said, "You are here to guard the door for me, if anyone dares to approach, I will ask you." ”
"Yes, yes, although Childe can rest assured, with me, no one dares to come and disturb. The man in Tsing Yi was extremely jealous of this young man in blue at this time, and agreed repeatedly.
Tan Yang walked into the small courtyard, came to Mrs. Xiong, hugged his fists and saluted: "Mrs. Xiong, do you still recognize me?"
