In the Gaozhai compound and the Xu family's mansion, people were on guard and the atmosphere was solemn.
In the hall, Xu Zaichuan's body was placed in the coffin. Xu Wangliang stood aside, looking at the wound on his son's neck with a gloomy expression.
"What a fast sword, what a cruel sword!"
Xu Wangliang said a word between his teeth, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a bit. The girls and servants in the hall all held back their breaths for fear of offending Xu Wangliang at this moment.
"Master, you must avenge Chuan'er!" Xu Zaichuan's mother wailed loudly, her voice hoarse and eardrum-piercing.
"Kill my Xu's heir, no matter who it is, he will not be able to escape!"
Xu Wangliang turned to look at his housekeeper. The housekeeper quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, I just ordered that anyone who has a grudge against the master is now investigating today's whereabouts. As long as there is any difference in the whereabouts, we will immediately They will be arrested first."
"Snapped!"
Xu Wangliang slapped the butler on the cheek. The butler hit the pillar and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The housekeeper looked at Xu Wangliang with a horrified expression, wondering what he had done wrong. All the servants around him shuddered and lowered their heads.
"As long as there is anyone who has a grudge, they will all be arrested and interrogated first, regardless of whether there is any change in their whereabouts today."
Xu Wangliang looked down at the housekeeper and said gloomily: "Everyone who is wandering around Chuan'er's residence today will also be arrested. I would rather kill the wrong person than let go of anyone suspicious. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, let's do it now, little one!" The housekeeper immediately got up and ran down with a swollen cheek.
"The young master is dead, you don't seem to be sad at all!" Xu Wangliang suddenly looked at the servants around him.
All the servants were excited, and the sound of wailing resounded in the hall, even reaching outside the mansion.
In the middle of the alley in Xingfen City.
"How brave, how dare you knock down my shop!"
"Master, everyone inside is dead. They were all killed with one sword!"
"Can you see anything?"
"All the traces left behind have been wiped away, and nothing can be seen for the time being. Master, I heard that Xu Zaichuan died today, and he also died of a sword wound, as did He Yuanqiu."
"Oh? This is actually interesting."
"Master, what should we do now?"
"Check! If we don't respond when someone knocks down a store like this, others might think we are easy to bully!"
"Okay, let's do it now, little one!"
The atmosphere in Xingfen City seemed to become tense all of a sudden. After searching and arresting, some well-informed people hurriedly hid in their homes and stopped wandering outside to avoid harming Chiyu.
Cries and fights would occasionally sound somewhere in the city, but they soon calmed down.
Other aristocratic families in Xingfen City acquiesced to Xu Wangliang's actions. After all, one of his most beloved heirs died. If he were to stop him at this point, he would immediately start a grudge with Xu Wangliang.
And Xu Wangliang was well-known in Xingfen City for his unyielding retribution. If there is a misunderstanding, maybe nothing happens now, but one day in the future, Xu Wangliang will stab him.
Some aristocratic families are not afraid, but they don't want to cause such trouble.
On the next day, the Xu family began to investigate the outsiders in Xingfen City. All those who had disguised themselves were arrested and interrogated.
If you dare to use disguise, it shows that you are treacherous. Since there is something fishy, let's go to the Xu family prison and talk it over.
However, there are really too many outsiders in Xingfen City. It would be too difficult for the Xu family to check them all one by one, and they would also make too many enemies. Not all outsiders are easy to bully, and there are some real masters and strong men among them.
So in just two days, this large-scale search of outsiders slowly stopped. We are still checking, but we can no longer search so recklessly.
At the same time, those who plan to leave the city or caravans are the key targets of the search. At the same time, those caravans were also told that if anyone who joined them midway found anything suspicious, they could come back and get a large reward.
Xingfen City has not been so noisy for many years, which makes people panic. There are fewer people on the streets and in restaurants.
The Xu family's residence.
"Among these people?"
Xu Wangliang turned to look at Wu Changli. This was an offering from the Qian family, specially sent by the Qian family to help Xu Wangliang.
Wu Zhangli's cultivation level is average and he is over fifty years old. In the past few years, he has only been cultivating to the bone-forging realm. But in the Qian family, Wu Changli's status is comparable to that of ordinary Marrow Training level warriors.
Just because Wu Changli has a unique skill that can control some Gu insects.
There are weird types of Gu insects, and one of them can find people based on the smell of blood.
The Qian family has a normal relationship with the Xu family, but Xu Wangliang caused a stir in Xingfen City this time. In order to prevent the situation from expanding, the Qian family asked Wu Changli to take action.
Upon hearing Xu Wangliang's question, Wu Changli did not answer immediately, but looked closely at a Gu insect with wings in his hand. The Gu insect was currently hovering in Wu Changli's hand and had no intention of flying out.
"Not these people." Wu Changli shook his head and said.
Many people in the prison have been tortured beyond recognition, and some are even seriously injured and dying. They all heard the conversation between Xu Wangliang and Xu Wangliang just now and had a general understanding.
So when they heard Wu Changli's words, some people couldn't help crying with joy. They could finally leave here.
"You seem to be very happy!"
Xu Wangliang was a little disappointed, but when he heard the changes in the expressions of the people in the prison, he became more and more angry. He had a dead son, and these people still dare to be so happy now.
The people in the prison seemed to have their throats strangled, and they did not dare to make any more noise.
"There should be some accomplices among them. After careful interrogation, those who deserve to be killed can be killed!"
Xu Wangliang said a word, turned around and left the prison. Wu Changli shrank his neck and quickly followed.
Wu Changli had heard that Xu Wangliang was moody before, but now he had seen it. Those people in the prison were unlucky enough to meet Xu Wangliang.
I can only say that in this world, if you want to live well, sometimes you just have to avoid causing trouble.
"Can Wu Zongfeng track down the murderer of my son?"
Arriving at the lobby, Xu Wangliang sat on a high chair and looked at Wu Changli condescendingly. Although there was no special pressure, Wu Changli's body still tensed up involuntarily.
"If that person hasn't left Xingfen City yet, you can give it a try." Wu Changli whispered.
"Then there will be sacrifices for you!" Xu Wangliang said with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth.
"Don't dare!"
Wu Changli quickly waved his hand, glanced at the Gu worm in his sleeve, took out a piece of black soil the size of a fingernail from his pocket, and put it to the Gu worm's mouth with some pain.
The Gu insect made a leap and landed directly on the black soil. In just a moment, the black soil was eaten.
The Gu insect's wings trembled slightly and began to fly forward.
As early as half an hour ago, this Gu worm had licked Xu Zaichuan's blood. Therefore, what this Gu insect is looking for at this moment is the same breath.
The same aura remained on the murderous sword.
