In the evening, night is approaching.
Lanxiang Street is one of the busiest streets in Zhuozhou City, and it happens to be in the center of Zhuozhou City, so the night market is also extremely lively.
On this day, Tang Zhong very enthusiastically invited his four cousins and several grandfathers to go to the night market, and of course his four maids. They came to Zhuozhou in the past few days, first to make swords, and then to Ma Jin's death. They didn't even have time to go to the night market.
The four young masters of the Tang Sect and Si Ya Huan have always been fun-loving people. As soon as they heard Tang Zhong's suggestion, they all agreed immediately and even helped him invite others.
However, Tang Zhong's wife Wei Yantui said that her "stomach was a little uncomfortable", so she went back to her room to sleep instead of joining them. Tang Mugong originally planned to go, but when he was about to leave, for some reason, the old man started playing chess with Qi Xiangshi, the boss of the Four Ghosts, in the courtyard, and they got out of hand once they started.
Although Qi Xiangshi was younger than Tang Mugong, he was already over sixty years old and not much younger than the old man, so the two were actually of the same generation. As for chess skills, Qi Xiangshi was much better than the old man. The two played several games, and Tang Mugong never won a single game. Tang Mugong then became ruthless: If Qi Xiangshi doesn't win a game, he won't go anywhere.
When everyone saw that the two men were playing hard, and even thunder couldn't hit them, they no longer waited for them to finish playing, and just went out to watch the night market.
Among everyone, Jade Luosha only really got along with Wei Yan. Since Wei Yan didn't go, it would be unnecessary for her to go, so she hid in the room alone.
But just as everyone left, Yu Luosha and Wei Yan came out, and Qi Xiangshi and Tang Mugong stopped playing chess.
"Yan'er, what exactly did you find?" Tang Mugong asked.
"This is it." Wei Yan said and took out the rag she found in Ma Jin's hand that morning.
"What is this?" Luo Chunmei asked.
"This looks like a rag on the shoe!" Qi Xiangshi guessed.
"That's right, it's the strip of cloth on the shoe. Do you still remember that last night, Fourth Grandpa was the last one to come out, but he didn't wear shoes?" Wei Yan reminded the three of them.
"Indeed, but what does this mean?" Jade Rakshasa said.
"I didn't pay much attention." Qi Xiangshi replied.
"Actually, there is one thing that Miss Luo should have discovered a long time ago! She just kept saving face for our Tang Sect, so she didn't say it clearly." There is of course a reason why Tang Mugong wanted to keep Qi Xiangshi and Jade Rakshasa. of.
In their group, only the Four Ghosts and Jade Rakshasa were outsiders. Qi Xiangshi is the leader of the four ghosts and should have the right to know the truth. Jade Rakshasa is actually the first person to discover the truth, but she never wants to care about these things.
"Brother Qi, there should be one thing you don't know. I have to tell you first. Whether it was Chang Zhengwen a few days ago or Ma Jin this morning, they all died because of my Tang Sect's unique branch. The sinews and bones of the hand.”
Jade Rakshasa discovered this matter immediately, so he was not surprised, but Qi Xiangshi was the only one among the four who knew the truth now, so he was naturally surprised and only asked: "Brother Tang, how so?"
"I suspect that someone in our sect is practicing the art of blood nourishment!" Tang Mugong replied.
This time, not only Qi Xiangshi was surprised, but Jade Rakshasa was also surprised. Because Jade Rakshasa actually only knew that these two people died in the Tang Sect's hands that split muscles and bones, but she did not delve into the motive of the murder, so she heard the words "blood nourishing technique" At that time, he was naturally stunned.
You must know that the art of blood nourishment is a kind of evil cult magic skill and witchcraft, and there are many kinds, but few people are proficient in it. The Tang Sect is a well-known and upright sect in the world, but it is really puzzling how anyone can understand such evil skills.
"Could it be that you are suspicious of Senior Tang Muxian?" Jade Rakshasa asked.
"We are just suspicious. Let's go in and take a look first." Tang Mugong replied.
As the four of them talked, they finally entered Tang Mugong's room. The four people came in and searched carefully, but for a while they didn't find anything useful.
Wei Yan expected that since Tang Mu knew how to take off his shoes first, he should have discovered that the shoes were torn and might have hidden them long ago. So Wei Yan immediately searched the wardrobe in Tang Muxian's room, and sure enough, within a few searches, she had already found the smelly shoes.
"Grandpa, look here." Wei Yan exclaimed.
Tang Mugong and the others came over to take a look, and sure enough they saw that the shoes had a torn piece, and the scrap of shoe cloth also happened to match the hole.
"It must have been pulled off by Ma Jin in desperation when senior Tang Muxian took action," Wei Yan said.
"Hmph! This fourth child, who is so old, still does these tricks, really pisses me off!" Seeing that he found the real evidence, Tang Mugong was very angry, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
Qi Xiangshi remained silent. He wanted to look for any other clues, so he opened another closet. But as soon as he opened it, a heavy object fell down inside, as tall as a foot, and very heavy, which immediately crushed him to the ground.
"Help! Help me push him away." Qi Xiangshi immediately asked for help.
Tang Mugong and the others were studying the broken shoes at this time, but they did not expect Qi Xiangshi to suddenly cry out for help. So the three of them turned around and took a look, only to find that Qi Xiangshi was pressed tightly by a person.
The three people hurriedly pushed the man away, only to see that the man's body was cold and his eyes were wide open, but he had been dead for a long time.
"There is actually a dead person hiding in this room!" Qi Xiangshi turned over and took a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Tang Mugong and the others did not expect it at all, and they simply could not believe that Tang Muxian, who had always been gentle, would actually do such a thing.
Now I found real evidence, and the evidence was finally conclusive, but everyone was speechless.
Tang Mugong actually notified Wei Taining in advance. After all, he is the owner of this place. It's just that Wei Taining is very busy with business and has never had time to come over. When he finished his work and came over to take a look, he saw that the four Tang Mugongs were just sitting in the yard in a daze, no one spoke, as if they were stupid.
"What's wrong, what are you doing?" Wei Taining asked with a smile.
"Brother Wei, please take a look at Curie first!" Luo Chunmei said.
"What's the big deal!" Wei Taining thought it was a trivial matter. When he went in to take a look, he was so frightened that he shouted "Oh my God" and ran out again.
"Do you know who that person is?" Tang Mugong asked.
"The brother-in-law of the head of the Ningyuan Sect, Wu Xinyi." Wei Taining answered.
"He lives in the front yard?" Wei Yan asked.
"Yes! There are more than a dozen people from the Ningyuan faction, all living in the front yard! Hey! The leader of the Ningyuan faction, Ba Min Boba, is a man with a bad temper. How should I explain to him!" Wei Taining Seeing how big the matter was, I finally couldn't sit still.
"Taining, don't worry, if it is really Mu Xian who did it, I will give you an explanation." Tang Mugong said.
"Old man, it's not about explaining things or not. Once this happens, how will I do business in the future?" Ning Taining has always put business first.
"Brother Wei, you'd better go and ask the sect leader to come over first!" Wei Yan said.
"Hey! Even paper can't stop the fire. He will find out sooner or later, so I'll go find him now." Wei Taining said, then turned and went to the front yard.
The Ningyuan Sect is a small sect that has recently emerged in the world. Even seniors like Tang Mugong have never heard of it. As for the leader Ba Minbo, no one knows him, and no one knows what kind of person he is. However, everyone believed that since Ba Minbo dared to establish a sect, he must have some abilities.
Not long after, a man led a dozen disciples and hurried to the backyard. The man shouted loudly and asked: "Is it that son of a bitch who dares to kill my brother-in-law?"
Ba Minbo definitely didn't know anyone from the Tang Clan, otherwise they had lived in the Wei Mansion for so long and wouldn't have known that the Tang Clan and his party lived behind them. Even if it's not as good as that, as long as you know it and have seen it a few times, you should know it.
A woman from the Ningyuan faction rushed into Tang Muchian's room first, but when she saw that Wu Xinyi had expired, she immediately cried inside. After a while, the woman came out and said in a hateful voice: "Brother Bo, Xinyi is dead, you must avenge him! Everyone in this yard deserves to die."
Tang Mugong guessed that the person was Wu Xinyi's sister, so he comforted him: "Girl, don't worry, I will definitely send someone from Ningyuan to explain to you."
"What else is there to explain? Murder to pay for life, long-term debt to pay for money, I want you to pay for my brother's life." This woman is indeed Wu Xinyi's sister, named Wu Xinjie, and she is also Ba Minbo's wife.
"Old guy, who do you think you are? Do you need to explain to me? You'd better settle it on your own, don't wait for us from Ningyuan to take action." Wu Xinjie was very nervous, but she didn't seem to know who she was talking to.
Duke Mu of the Tang Dynasty knew that he was in the wrong, so it was hard for him to retaliate when others scolded him. Jade Rakshasa, on the other hand, never suffered a loss. He only said: "We didn't kill the person, so why should we finish him off?"
"Smelly cousin, when will it be your turn to speak!" As he said this, he reached out to hit the Jade Rakshasa. But as soon as he took action, his hand suddenly became unable to move, but it turned out that it was caught by Jade Rakshasa. Luo Chunmei originally wanted to fight back, but when she saw Wei Yan signaling to her, she finally did not hit the woman, but pushed her aside.
"Minbo, she pushed me, why didn't you do anything?" The woman hurriedly called her husband for help.
Ba Minbo originally wanted to take action, but suddenly his eyes met with the Jade Rakshasa's, and he couldn't help being frightened. He felt a little frightened and felt timid at first. This morning, he was not among the crowd, so he did not know Jade Rakshasa. However, he later heard that the Jade Rakshasa also lived in the Wei Mansion, so when he saw that the Jade Rakshasa's evil aura was very strong, he immediately remembered this matter, so he did not dare to make trouble.
"Young girl is also a practicing master!" Ba Minbo asked tentatively.
"Okay! You can see this, Master Ba? You are quite capable!" Luo Chunmei's words were obviously meant to be sarcastic, but Ba Minbo was not angry at all, or he did not dare to be angry at all.
