Hua Bushi's eyes suddenly turned, and he had already noticed that among the masters of the four major factions in the Guangdong realm, Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi had come to both sides of the chair silently, staring directly at Mr. Ma Da on the chair, his eyes showed a fine light, and he was ready to make a move at any time, while Master Huang Lian and Zhong Bulao were standing in place and did not move.

His scheming and reaction were outstanding, and he immediately guessed the inside story: this Mr. Ma Da must have something, but it is something that Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi desperately want to obtain, most of which is the legendary "Panlong Jue" jade pendant, so as soon as the two of them heard that Mr. Ma Da hid something on the chair, they subconsciously stepped forward and prepared to snatch it.

However, Master Huang Lian already knew that this thing was not on Mr. Martha's body, just because Master Miaozhen and others under the door of "Jingci Lin Nunnery" escorted Mr. Ma Da all the way south, and Mr. Marda's martial arts were exhausted, and if he really had this thing, he would have been taken away a long time ago. Therefore, Master Huang Lian was calm and calm, and stopped moving. As for Zhong Bulao not stepping forward, it is probably true that he has no greed for the treasure as he himself said, otherwise he would not be the only one in the "Dinghu faction" who came alone.

At this time, Zhu Hong had already picked up Mr. Ma Da's body, and his right hand and wooden chair, which had been pressed under him, were also exposed.

Everyone looked at the chair, especially Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi, their eyes were as eager as hungry wolves looking at fresh meat. But after only a moment, their eyes were cold, because the chair under Mr. Martha was completely empty, and there was no treasure anywhere.

However, Hua Bushi's eyes lit up, and he came to the chair in three or two steps, grabbed Mr. Martha's right hand, looked at it twice, and leaned over to inspect the chair.

The big sandalwood chair was originally painted with black lacquer, and there were some shallow scratches on the black lacquer surface of the chair, which would not have been found if you had not come close to take a closer look.

Seeing Hua Bushi's actions, Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi, who had already shown a look of disappointment, suddenly perked up, and even Master Huang Lian, who was standing in place and did not move, had a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"Young Master Hua, have you seen the clues?" Wu Zhengdao couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Hua Bushi said: "There is black paint left in the nail of Mr. Martha's right index finger, which shows that when he was dying, he used his nails to carve on the surface of this chair, and the reason why he pressed his body on his right hand was to prevent the murderer from discovering his actions. ”

Yuan Gongyi stepped in front of the wooden chair in one step, and looked down at the scratches on the chair surface.

"It's a picture of something, a bit like the word 'death'. Yuan Gongyi muttered.

Hua Bushi said: "In my opinion, it is more like a 'seven' character. ”

Yuan Gongyi looked at it again and said, "That's right! It's just a 'seven' character!"

Wu Zhengdao also approached the wooden chair, also carefully inspected the chair surface, and grabbed Mr. Ma Da's finger to take a look, and said: "Young Master Hua is really sharp-eyed, the word 'seven' on this chair must have been engraved by Mr. Ma Da, but I don't know what the purpose of carving such a 'seven' character was before he died?"

His gaze was fixed on Hua Bushi's face, and it was obvious that the object of this sentence was this eldest young master.

Hua Bushi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what Mr. Martha's intention is to draw this 'seven' character. Young Master Ben and Mr. Ma Da have only known each other for two or three days, and they only know a few faces, so they don't know anything about him, and they don't even know their identity, so even if they want to guess, they can't guess. ”

Wu Zhengdao said: "Some people may not know each other if they have known each other for a hundred years, and some people can become confidants after seeing each other." The old man sees that Young Master Hua and Mr. Ma are confidants, otherwise there are so many people in this hall, why is it that only Young Master Hua can find out that he left a word on the chair?"

Hua Bushi said: "I found that the words were left by pure coincidence, if Master Wu thought that I was Mr. Martha's confidant, he guessed wrong." ”

The eldest young master's face was a casual expression, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart: Wu Zhengdao is worthy of being the head of the four major factions in Guangdong, the head of the "South China Sea faction", his eyes are vicious, and he is really difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old fox!

Hua Bushi said that he did not know the meaning of the words engraved on the chair, of course, it was not true.

In fact, as soon as he saw the word "seven", he immediately remembered the many words he and Mr. Ma Da had talked about in the trunk of the carriage when they passed through the Luyuan Grand Canyon that day. Afterwards, Mr. Martha made a special reminding him not to forget what he said in the carriage. At that time, Hua Bushi only felt a little inexplicable, and at this time, he thought that there must be a secret hidden in those words.

Mr. Martha once said that his own life was not long in coming, and he may have foreseen what was happening today, so he hid his secret in those words that were close to gossip, and told Hua Bushi. Of course, if there is no necessary reminder, no matter how smart Hua Bushi is, he will never be able to grasp the meaning, which is the purpose of Mr. Martha carving this "seven" character on the chair.

To say that the biggest secret of Mr. Ma Da is something that Wu Zhengdao, Yuan Gongyi and others thought of, and that thing, nine times out of ten, is the legendary "Panlong Jue" who can obtain the treasure of Whale Swallowing Island.

However, how can this single word "seven" be unraveled in it?

Hua Bushi's mind was racing, and he recalled many of Mr. Martha's words in the carriage that day, which of them were related to "seven". And at that moment, he inadvertently showed a reminiscence and groan, as if he had an enlightened demeanor, but he happened to be looked at by Wu Zhengdao. Although the eldest young master immediately realized his gaffe and changed his expression in a moment, it was too late!

"When the old man saw that Young Master Hua was looking at the handwriting on the chair, he seemed to have a comprehension, and he thought that he had already figured out the meaning of the word 'seven', I don't know if he could teach him a lesson or two?" Wu Zhengdao really refused to let go, staring at this young master Hua and asking tightly.

Hua Bushi sighed and said helplessly: "I did have a little idea about the word 'seven' just now, but then I felt that it was ridiculous, so I didn't say it." ”

Wu Zhengdao said: "If Young Master Hua has an idea, please say it and let everyone hear it, even if it is ridiculous, it is okay." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Whoever is assassinated, before he dies, leaves a message to send a letter, most of them are to write the name of the person who killed him, so that future generations can help him avenge his hatred." Mr. Martha wrote the word 'seven', which seems to me to be the same meaning. ”

Wu Zhengdao frowned and said, "But what is the name of this 'seven'?"

Hua Bushi said: "Although there are many people with 'seven' in their names or nicknames on the rivers and lakes, the one with the greatest reputation and can make people immediately think of it is the 'Central Plains Seven Major Sects', which is the 'Central Plains Seven Major Sects', which is the guess of Young Master Yiben, the murderer who killed Mr. Ma Da must have been sent by the 'Central Plains Seven Major Factions'." ”

Before Wu Zhengdao could answer, Yuan Gongyi on the side had already reprimanded: "It's really nonsense!" If the 'Central Plains Seven Major Sects' want to kill Mr. Ma Da, they will directly send their masters to come, and we can't stop it, so why do we have to do such a trick and assassination!"

Hua Bushi said: "What Master Yuan said is very true, Young Master Ben also thought of this section just now, so he felt that my guess was very ridiculous and unrealistic, so I didn't want to say it to you." ”

The so-called "Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains" is, of course, a perfunctory statement made up by Hua Bushi, even if such lies can deceive a rough person like Yuan Gongyi, most of them can't hide from Wu Zhengdao's old fox. However, Hua Bushi had already made up his mind at this time, and decided to resist death, anyway, with just a fleeting expression, Wu Zhengdao couldn't be sure of anything, at most he just had doubts in his heart.

In fact, Hua Bushi still hasn't figured out the true meaning of the word "seven" engraved by Mr. Ma Da, and if he said the words of Mr. Ma Da in the carriage before, whether Wu Zhengdao and others would kill people in order to seize the treasure is still between the two theories, and it will definitely not be of any benefit to the situation of the "Evil Dog Gate" and his party.

Now Hua Bushi has few people around him, and it is quite difficult to protect himself, and the four factions have an absolute advantage in strength, although they are still afraid of the "Evil Dog Gate" and are unwilling to make enemies easily, but if it comes to the treasure of "Panlong Jue" and Whale Swallowing Island, presumably Wu Zhengdao and others will definitely not show mercy.

The law of the jungle is the principle that will not change on the rivers and lakes.

Wu Zhengdao's eyes were like electricity, staring closely at Hua Bushi's face, but this young master Hua Da looked calm and seemed to be completely unconscious. It was only a moment of carelessness that made the other party aware of it before, but now of course he will not show any flaws.

After a long time, Wu Zhengdao said: "I see. The old man also believed that the 'Seven Great Factions of the Central Plains' would never come to kill Mr. Ma Da, and Young Master Hua was probably wrong. ”

He rolled his eyes and said, "However, since I can't guess the origin of the murderer from this word, this matter of tracking down the murderer still falls on Young Master Hua." According to the previous discussion, Young Master Hua must hand over the murderer on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month at the latest, otherwise we and the other people in the four factions can only treat Mrs. Hua as a murderer!"

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "Okay, then we will make up our minds, but these ** people must not embarrass the young master's wife, nor can they restrict the actions of us and the others." ”

When he said this, Hua Bushi's eyes looked at the masters of the four factions in the ancestral hall, Zhong Bulao and Master Huang Lian both nodded and acquiesced, and Yuan Gongyi, who had always opposed it, did not raise any objections, I don't know if it was because of what Cao Duyun said, or because the situation had changed, and he found out that Mr. Ma Da had left words on his chair.

This also made the eldest young master breathe a sigh of relief, at this time his own side is weak, and Hai Hongzhu is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of murder, if Yuan Gongyi and others want to use the strong, the two sides fight, the "evil dog gate" is extremely unfavorable, and now the two sides can temporarily compromise, and they can avoid some danger.
