"These men in black robes are simply evil spirits!"
Liu Erzhuang suddenly roared and his whole body shook like chaff.
"About ten days after we arrived in the cave, the first victims began to appear."
"He is a hunter from the next village. When he passed by our village before, we met him several times."
His voice was trembling, but he continued to tell his story firmly.
"That day, several men in black robes put the hunter on a wooden stand in front of us. Then several men in black robes held daggers and sliced open the back of his head alive..."
"later……"
After listening to Liu Erzhuang's description, Yang Dong felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart, which was extremely unpleasant.
In Liu Erzhuang's description, the men in black robes killed the poor hunter alive in public. Not only that, they also stuffed a red gem into the back of the hunter's head.
Obviously, this gemstone is the Southern Xinjiang Blood Jade, and there is one on the back of Liu Erzhuang's head at this moment.
The difference is that Liu Erzhuang is still alive now.
But the poor hunter lost his life in severe pain.
Liu Erzhuang didn't remember very clearly what happened next. Probably one day, he became the person who was massacred in public...
Fortunately, he did not lose his life.
But it's also unfortunate that he was subjected to all kinds of inhumane torture in the cave.
Until one day, he escaped from the hell-like cave while the guards were not paying attention...
After Liu Erzhuang said this, he was already in tears.
And Yan Bingyue, who had always been as cold as frost, now had a faint flash of sympathy between her eyebrows.
Yang Dong already knew what happened next.
He sighed softly and patted Liu Erzhuang's shoulder heavily.
"It's not easy for you to survive."
"But precisely because you are still alive, you have the obligation to seek justice for those villagers who died."
When Liu Erzhuang heard this, a ray of light suddenly burst out from his originally desperate eyes, just like a person who was about to die of thirst suddenly saw a source of water.
He held Yang Dong's hand and said in a trembling tone:
"Benefactor, you mean... I can still uphold justice for them?"
"But they are colluding with the government. I am just a commoner, how can I defeat them!"
After saying this, he suddenly looked at Yang Dong with hope and said:
"Benefactor, are you willing to uphold justice for this villain?"
Yang Dong nodded slightly and said seriously:
"That's why I came to Jiangnan."
"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
Liu Erzhuang bowed deeply to Yang Dong, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Yang Dong patted his shoulder as a gesture of comfort, and then said:
"This matter is very involved, and there are many people behind it who should not be there. Therefore, this matter still needs to be considered in the long term, and you have to be patient enough, understand?"
When Liu Erzhuang heard this, he nodded firmly and said:
"Everything depends on my benefactor's instructions."
…
Yang Dong did not choose to go deep into the mountain and continue the investigation.
Instead, he chose to take Yan Bingyue and Liu Erzhuang back to Wuzhou City.
Now one thing is basically certain, that is, behind the blood jade in Southern Xinjiang, there is a group of guys in black robes hidden.
And what's even more terrifying is that among these people, there seem to be strong men in the innate realm!
In this case, if you want to continue the investigation, you must at least wait until Hong Laoliu arrives.
According to the news from the capital, Hong Laoliu should be on the way.
Yang Dong rubbed his eyebrows worriedly and looked out the window.
…
Wuzhou City,
In a rather grand manor,
The fat man held a Buddhist bead in one hand and was torturing the maid in his arms with the other.
In front of him, a servant was lowering his head and carefully reporting what happened in Zhaoling Village.
"So, do you want to tell the head of the family that Mr. Yang from the capital is in trouble?"
The servant lowered his head. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly and said:
"Master, those people have been a little too unruly lately. Should we take action to beat them?"
The fat man holding the Buddhist beads is not a passerby, but Mingcheng, the contemporary head of the Ming family.
Mingcheng pondered for a moment, let go of the maid in his arms, and said with a serious face:
"Who are those people? Haven't you found out yet?"
As soon as he said this, a look of panic flashed across the servant's face.
Without saying a word, he knelt down and said:
"Master, those people are here and there, and we have only had some cooperation with them."
"The current investigation has made no progress."
Mingcheng nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.
The servant just knelt there, feeling uneasy.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire room was extremely depressing.
At this moment, Mingcheng suddenly sighed deeply.
"Forget it, even the four major families don't dare to provoke them, so why should we take the initiative to provoke them!"
The servant understood what Mingcheng meant. After bowing again, he lowered his head and turned around to leave.
At this moment, Mingcheng spoke again:
"By the way, tell the other three families exactly what you just told the head of this family."
"Even if I have a headache, I cannot be the only one who has a headache."
"Since someone wants to break the peace in Jiangnan, the other three families will definitely not give up."
"In addition, please invite Mr. Yang from the capital on behalf of my family leader..."
"That kid Jianchuixue seems to have some connections with Mr. Yang, so I asked him to invite him personally."
…
Inn,
Private room Tianzi No. 1 on the second floor,
Yang Dong retracted his palm again, his heartbeat speeding up slightly.
The conscience of heaven and earth, I am a gentleman, why do I touch the wrong place every time?
But the young lady...why is she so smooth?
The young woman blushed and opened her eyes slightly. She acted as if nothing had happened. After arranging her clothes, she cupped her hands towards Yang Dong and said:
"Mr. Yang, I have always encountered some bottlenecks in my practice recently. I feel a little swollen in my Dantian."
"Um?"
Yang Dong frowned, subconsciously raised his hand and put it on the other person's shoulder.
Perhaps because she was used to being in contact with each other, the young woman did not show any shy expression, but stared at Yang Dong, waiting for his reply.
Yang Dong used the power of Qi and blood to swim around in the young woman's meridians.
However, nothing unusual was found.
On the other hand, the power of Qi and blood in Dantian is strong, as if he is at the peak of the warrior realm.
It's just... this is already the case. Logically speaking, she should have broken through to the martial artist realm, but for some unknown reason, the young woman has always stayed at the martial artist realm.
Yang Dong rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Your situation is a bit special, so don't practice for now."
