Chapter 261: The Name of the Vicious Dog
Hua Bushi was originally the enemy in her mind, Hai Hongzhu once hated not being able to kill this evil young master to avenge her father, but now, she herself didn't know why she went to cry bitterly in the arms of this villain, and although this evil young master was still so fierce and domineering, it didn't seem to be as hateful as before.
And although his shoulders are not broad, he seems to be safe, and he can really protect her.
For a delicate little girl like Hai Hongzhu, she can't afford to bear the truly unforgettable hatred. She is stubborn on the outside, but she is very weak on the inside, which is the biggest difference between her and Yang Jiangyi.
Hua Bushi patted Hai Hongzhu's back, as if he was soothing a lost child.
When Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi hugged tightly on the bank of the Jinxi River, it was difficult to control men's desires, and Hai Hongzhu's appearance was not under Yang Jiangyi. Although he is only a few years older than Hai Hongzhu, in Hua Bushi's eyes, Hai Hongzhu is just a child who needs to be cared for.
After a long time, he let go of the arms that were holding Hai Hongzhu and said, "Good, don't cry, you don't have to worry about this matter at all, just leave it all to Young Master Ben to deal with." ”
His tone was also like coaxing a child.
Hai Hongzhu choked up: "But they ...... They're all so good......"
Hua Bushi held Hai Hongzhu's shoulders, pulled her out of his arms, looked at her with his eyes, and said: "Although they are powerful, we don't have to be afraid, just because I have a way, they will never dare to touch you, you can trust me." ”
Hai Hongzhu looked at Hua Bushi's eyes, but saw that his gaze was very firm and full of confidence, and he also felt that he must not be lying, so he nodded silently.
Seeing that Hai Hongzhu had stopped crying and seemed to be calm, Hua Bushi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You see, as long as you are willing to believe me, there is nothing that cannot be solved." ”
He grabbed Hai Hongzhu's right hand again, and this time, Hai Hongzhu didn't struggle anymore, just let the eldest young master hold it.
Hua Bushi said: "When Mr. Ma Da was stabbed, you were also in the ancestral hall of the ancient family, did you see or hear anything at that time, can you tell me?"
Hai Hongzhu said lightly, but was silent for a long time before saying: "Actually, I didn't see anything, I was sitting on a chair by the wall, across a table from Mr. Martha, but suddenly I heard him scream, and blood flowed out of his chest and shirt, and then ...... And then...... And he died......"
Hua Bushi said: "When you hear his call, you will definitely turn your head to look, don't you see a single figure?"
Hai Hongzhu bit her lip and said, "I looked over, but I really didn't see anything...... Then I heard a noise in the corner of the wall, and when I went to look again, I saw the sword fall to the ground, and I saw no human figure. ”
Mr. Martha was killed at noon, and the sky was very bright. Although the ancestral hall of the ancient family has no windows on all sides, only two portals in front and back, but there is also light penetrating, not too dark, so that even the human figure can not be seen.
Hua Bushi asked again: "After Mr. Ma Da was stabbed, did you look around the house, did you see nothing?"
Hai Hongzhu said: "I was very scared at that time, and I looked into the house a few times, but I didn't see anyone, and I was thinking in my heart at that time, is it ...... Could it be that a ghost is coming......"
Of course, Hua Bushi doesn't believe that there are demons and monsters in this world.
He also asked in detail about the location of the fierce sword, the time between the shouting and the subsequent sound, and the situation when the people of the "Jingci Lin Nunnery" who heard the news rushed into the ancestral hall of the ancient family.
Hai Hongzhu answered one by one, but at that time, under extreme panic, she couldn't observe some details very clearly. However, under Hua Bushi's gentle words and patient inquiry, she still told the eldest young master what she could remember.
After listening to Hai Hongzhu's description, in Hua Bushi's mind, he had already judged the situation in the ancestral hall of the ancient family at that time:
The Assassin approached Mr. Martha from behind and unleashed his sword to kill him. Although Hai Hongzhu heard the cry and turned her head to look, in the instant, the assassin had already retreated, and then immediately threw the fierce sword into the corner. This was done in order to attract Hai Hongzhu's attention, so that she heard the sound and went to inspect the fierce sword, and the assassin took the opportunity to take the long sword that Hai Hongzhu had left on the chair and fled from the other side.
This was the only reasonable guess Hua Bushi could think of, but even if it was, he wasn't very sure.
For the Assassin to do so, not only did he have to be extremely precise in his calculations, but his light skills had to be incredibly strong. You must know that the ancestral hall is very empty, except for a few tables and chairs, and when the light is sufficient, it is not enough to hide the figure. Even if Hai Hongzhu's reaction was not very fast, when she heard the sound and checked, she jumped away in an instant and was not seen, if she didn't have the ultimate light skill, she didn't even think about it.
Even Wu Zhengdao, Yuan Gongyi and others may not be able to do it.
And how this person was able to avoid the guards outside the ancestral hall Miaozhen Shitai and Yi Ruoying and others to enter the room, Hua Bushi still didn't have any clue.
That's not something that can be explained by a strong martial arts or a light martial arts body method at all, unless you have a demon method that can be invisible.
Hai Hongzhu's narration of what she saw did not help much in finding the murderer. The murderer's swordsmanship and light skills were very strong, and Hua Bushi had already judged this when he had checked the condition of the wounds on Mr. Martha's body and could not find a single footprint around the chair.
The inability to find more valuable clues made him slightly disappointed.
An hour later, Hua Bushi walked out of Hai Hongzhu's room. He closed the door and went back to his house. At this time, Hai Hongzhu was already lying on the bed and falling asleep. When leaving, Hua Bushi looked at Hai Hongzhu's tear-stained face, and a burst of love and pity surged in his heart.
Of course, this is not the love between men and women, as for what kind of emotion it is, even the eldest young master himself can't tell.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ in Guangdong, Nanao Port is a very good seaport.
Nanao Town is located in Pengzhou Prefecture in eastern Guangdong, but it is also a hub connecting Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi. The trade of the southeastern coastal provinces of the Ming Dynasty has been very developed, and natural harbors such as Nanao are very suitable for trade on the waterway. As a result, the harbor was often filled with ships from afar, and the town was always prosperous with merchants, shipowners, and even sailors.
Although Nanao Town is rich, it is located relatively far away, and is located by the sea, a hundred miles away from Pengzhou Mansion, which is not valued by the Ming Dynasty, and even the city wall is not, and it is definitely not a fortress for soldiers to fight for. For example, today's chaos, the Ming Dynasty rebels rose one after another, all of them attacked the city and seized the county, and the beacon fire spread everywhere, but those wars never affected this Nanao town. 'In the midst of troubled times, it is very rare to have a corner away from the scourge of war and a pure land where you can live and work in peace and contentment. It is no wonder that in recent years, many inland displaced people have moved with their families, so that this coastal town, which was originally not large, has expanded several times in a few years, and the population size is no longer below that of a small inland town like Longchuan City.
In Nanao Town, the biggest celebrity is undoubtedly the Chai Dashan who lives in the Chai Garden in the east of the town.
The Chai family has been in business for generations, and has opened a number of money and silver numbers in various places, and the industry under the door is all over Guangdong, and the head of this generation of the family, Chai Lin, has been lifted in the early years, and has also been on the gold list during the Beijing examination, and once served as an official in Beijing, and only resigned at the age of forty-five to return to his hometown. He is not only familiar with the official face, but also likes to make friends with good men in the rivers and lakes, and even Leng Lianshan, the leader of the "Guangdong Underworld Alliance", has some friendship with him.
Although the Chai family is not a sect of the rivers and lakes, it is said that there are hundreds of wise men in the Chai Garden in the east of the town, all of whom are superb and have strong martial arts. Nanao Town has been able to keep safe over the years, and it has not been affected by various wars, and it is not unrelated to the Chai family.
The Chai family is so rich and powerful, but it is rare not to oppress the place, but to be kind and charitable, build bridges and roads in this town, and often give rice and soup to help the poor, so the head of the family Chai Lin won the title of "Chai Da Shan Man".
The name of "Chai Dashan Man" is known to everyone in Nanao Town, but now there is another person's name, which has quickly spread in the mouths of the people in the town, and its fame has the potential to catch up with "Chai Dashan Man", in just a few days, no one in the whole town knows about adults and children.
This newly released celebrity is the "evil dog boy" Hua Bushi.
Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
Just after the New Year, the weather has been sunny and sunny in the past few days, the temperature has begun to warm, and the streets of Nanao Town are full of people. The air in this small town on a seaside peninsula is fresh and humid all year round, and the heavy snow in northern Guangdong did not affect it at all the day before.
There's no such thing as a time when it's not time to travel.
Hua Bushi stood under a large area of eaves on the side of the street, wearing a Haoran scarf, holding a folding fan in his hand, dressed in white like snow, looking like a scholar who was gentle and polite.
But as he stood there, all the passers-by in the street walked away from him, and none of them dared to come near, and every one of them had a look of fear in their eyes, as if they had seen a vicious dog that would bite at any moment.
Bai Yiling was dressed in a ring costume, followed behind Hua Bushi, and beside the eldest young master, there were four other people, who were the leaders of the "Four Great Factions in Guangdong", Wu Zhengdao, Yuan Gongyi, Master Huang Lian and Zhong Bulao.
Not far away, dozens of disciples of the "Nanhai" and "Danxia" factions also stood quietly.
