Chapter 23: Cover-up
Butler Lin was only wearing a cool nightgown, covered in blood, and his body was hit from the front yard like a cannonball to the courtyard, and he rolled twice on the ground before he was silent.
It was also at this time that the little leopard screamed, screaming with all his strength, he was really scared, and he didn't want to die here for no reason.
While barking, the little leopard ran towards the house, and he knew that in the house, there was a small back window, and as long as he got out of the back window, he would not be in much danger.
However, the danger he imagined did not come, and after the little leopard got into the house, he woke up all the other three, and then, for a while, chickens and dogs jumped, the torches were lit, and the originally quiet ironsmith gradually became noisy, and after a while, a few screams came from the courtyard again, and then, slowly, subsided.
The little leopard didn't jump out of the back window after all, because the killer had no interest in him at all.
The targets of the murderer are obvious, that is, Butler Lin and Lao Xing Tou, both of whom are now dead.
Compared with Lin Da's housekeeper, Lao Xing Tou died a miserable death, his body was cut in two by a sharp weapon, and after he died, he still held a black hammer in his left hand, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't see it.
Although the abnormal performance of the old Xingtou in recent months has made the little leopard faintly have some bad thoughts, but he didn't expect the result to be so tragic, seeing the corpse of the old Xingtou, the little leopard only felt a wave of astringent gas poured into his heart, although the time with this old Xingtou is not long, but unconsciously, the little leopard is regarded as a good teacher and helpful friend, he taught himself a lot of things, really like a teacher, he knows what he knows, what he knows, what he knows, everything he knows to the little leopard, he hopes that the little leopard can pass the selection of the Wu family, complete his wish, but before he saw this day, he died, died so miserably, which made him feel very uncomfortable, of course, for the unknown murderer, the little leopard also hated him to death.
"Ten years, ten years at most, I will definitely find you, and then split you in half like today!"
The little leopard secretly swore in his heart, but what happened next made him dare not express his thoughts in his heart, and even a trace of sadness did not dare to reveal it.
Lin Da Butler and Lao Xing Tou are the people of the Wu family iron in the entire Qingyang Collection, they died, it can be said to be a big thing in the Qingyang Collection, which has produced a great sensational effect, and the government naturally does not dare to slack off, after all, it is the people of the Wu family, it is a vigorous investigation, as the first on-site witness, the little leopard was naturally called to ask several times, and he vowed to bring the murderer to justice.
It is strange to say that when the new housekeeper and craftsman appeared in Qingyangji, this matter was quickly suppressed, and the surname was Liukou, and the new housekeeper and craftsman even found a large number of evidence that Lin Da butler and Lao Xingtou were greedy for money and silver in the Wujia ironware shop during the Qingyangji, which surprised everyone, and after a while, the matter slowly faded down, except for the after-dinner conversation, but no one mentioned it.
Such a result couldn't help but make the little leopard vigilant, and smelled a hint of conspiracy from it.
Generally speaking, in a big family like the Wu family, if something like this happens, let alone pouring dirty water on themselves to suppress things, even if those masters in the government have the slightest negligence, they will not let it go, otherwise, there is no way to show the dignity and face of the family, how can there be anything like the Wu family?
There is only one explanation for this, that is, the Wu family wants to cover up this matter, so they will do it.
Why do you want to cover it up?
The little leopard didn't know, and he didn't want to know, at least for now, until he had the ability to protect himself, he didn't want to know.
After a period of time, things calmed down, and the little leopard returned to his previous peaceful life, because the old Xing Tou worked hard to clear up the relationship with the little leopard, in this matter, he was called by the government to ask a few questions, but there was no trouble, plus his own qualifications are good, in this group of apprentices, he is outstanding, so he has gradually won the trust and reuse of the new craftsmen.
It's like the school of the little leopard's previous life, the teacher always likes students with good grades, even if there is a different class teacher and teacher.
Therefore, the little leopard's little son is still relatively moist and harmonious, and the old Xing Tou's right hand was abolished, this new craftsman Qin Xuanlong is a real three-grade martial arts craftsman, in the prime of life, in addition to a good martial arts, he is also good at hidden weapons, and he is good at darts, the little leopard once saw him shake his hand out, and the three darts were all nailed to the red heart of the dart handle 100 meters away, and he couldn't help but be envious.
And Qin Xuanlong is because the little leopard's surname is too high, and the nine-style hammer method and several sets of skin-training boxing methods are not difficult for him at all, so the surname Suo passed on the technique of the hidden weapon dart to the little leopard, anyway, this is not a miracle.
"Tuk tuk tuk-!" three darts rang out, and three darts were nailed to the red dot in the center of the dartboard.
"Good, good, good!" Qin Xuanlong on the side shouted three times in a row, and couldn't help but show appreciation on his face.
He has been a craftsman for more than ten years, but he has never seen such a good apprentice with qualifications and surname as Little Leopard, not to mention anything else, just darts, less than three months of practice, he has already rolled all the techniques in his chest, and the darts shot out are hundreds of shots, separated by thirty zhang, and can hit the bullseye with his eyes closed, which makes him happy and embarrassed in his heart.
Because he has practiced for more than ten years, he has reached the current state of the little leopard.
"No wonder the legend is that the old Xing Tou looked at this kid differently at that time, damn, who would not look the other way when he met such an apprentice, he was only eight years old, this kid's future is really limitless, the selection of the family is not a problem for him at all, and even he may pass the final selection, and his future achievements will definitely be much higher than ours, as long as he is better for him now, he will become a talent in the future, take care of us a little, and we will be inexhaustible!" With such thoughts, Qin Xuanlong's teaching of the little leopard became more diligent, and it can be said that he knows everything and says everything.
"Master, these are a few kitchen knives I've hit recently, look at it, how are they!"
After a day's training, the little leopard took out a few handfuls of snow flash dishes from the smelting room and sent them to Qin Xuanlong as a treasure, after all, in a sense, for apprentices like them, martial arts is just a secondary, and striking iron is the right thing.
"Oh!" Qin Xuanlong also seemed to realize this at this time, and took the kitchen knife handed over by the little leopard.
"Huh?!" Qin Xuanlong, who didn't care much about it, inadvertently wiped a snowy blade, and then, his fingers flicked up violently, and a wisp of blood oozed out of his fingertips.
"What a sharp edge?!" Qin Xuanlong was shocked in his heart, waved his hands, and slashed towards the stake that tested the edge of the knife on the side.
"Brush!", the wooden stake instantly turned into two, and Qin Xuanlong's brows jumped.
