Mother Jiang is dead? Yang Zhen's expression changed.
At the same time, Huang Xiao'e also said: "Aunt Jiang is dead. She was killed."
"What's the reason? Has the murderer been found?" Yang Zhen asked while listening to Yiyi describe to him what happened that night.
Five days ago at midnight, a man in black sneaked into the courtyard and entered the wing where the old man lived.
He stayed inside for quite a while, during which time there was candlelight, reflecting on the window lattice made of white paper, and two blurry figures could be seen.
It was the man in black who was asking the old man to question, but no sound came out.
Obviously, this was a monk who used soundproofing.
The old man was very stubborn and didn't seem to say anything. The man took out another piece of talisman paper and divided it into two, half on his own forehead and half on the old man's forehead.
Although it cannot be seen clearly, it is not difficult to guess that it is a soul-searching talisman.
What are the consequences of using Soul Search on mortals?
The old man is crazy. A quarter of an hour later, her hair was disheveled, her teeth were bared, and she was yelling.
Soon, he was hit on the neck by the man's palm and fell to the ground.
After that, the man in black stayed in the room for a while, then opened the door and walked over the wall.
Yang Zhen frowned, using two hundred spiritual stones on a soul-searching talisman on a mortal civilian. What secret did she want to know?
Could it be related to the fact that I was here that day?
At this time, Huang Xiao'e's voice continued:
"The next day, the police from the town came to see the house and said that there were still some scattered coins in the house. They judged that it was a murder attempt. The gangsters were probably targeting the old man's money."
"Money? Where did Aunt Jiang get the money?" Yang Zhen asked.
The last time he came here, he learned that the old man had been supported by his son. After Jiang Cheng's death, the family did not have much savings left. This is why he urged Liang Xingling and others to extend Jiang Cheng's pension.
"Two days before my aunt was killed, the county sent her a sum of money. I heard it was a pension from Brother Jiang Cheng. At that time, gongs and drums were played, and everyone in the alley saw it."
"Then..." At this point, Huang Xiao'e's face showed sadness.
"Then what happened?"
"My aunt just drove me back and said I didn't need to accompany her anymore." Huang Xiao'e had been holding back her aggrieved mood for several days. Today, when a stranger was willing to listen to her, she told her everything.
"This is the old man's protection for you. She already had a premonition that something was going to happen." Yang Zhen sighed.
"What? Auntie..." Huang Xiao'e's eyes widened, and she suddenly understood, and tears burst out of her eyes.
At this point, Yang Zhen already had a rough idea of who the murderer was.
After the Liang brothers and sisters heard that they had been to Jiang's mother's house, they were not sure whether I had heard anything. They also suspected that Jiang's mother knew some secrets through Jiang Cheng.
So, relying on his order to distribute the pension as soon as possible, he didn't even wait for himself to come back from the county to sign, and delivered the money to the old man with great fanfare.
Two thousand silver coins are enough to attract thieves and even monks to seek wealth and death.
It's a pity that they did it too obviously. Even Jiang's mother guessed that this was a life-demanding money. How could she not see it?
It's really stupid and smart, just like how they behaved in Fangshi.
However, these are just my guesses. Yang Zhen plans to find the murderer first and then follow the clues.
If Jiang's mother really died because of his visit, he could only comfort her soul in heaven by bringing the murderer to justice.
He thanked Huang Xiao'e and left in a hurry with Liu Rou.
…
Liangjia Town is a market town built at the foot of the mountain.
In such a place, there is never a shortage of various flowers, plants and trees.
Although the man in black covered his face and jumped over the wall to escape, Yang Zhen pursued him all the way and soon found traces of this man from a tree on the side of the road.
After escaping hundreds of feet away, the man entered an abandoned house. When he came out again, he had changed his clothes and removed his face mask, revealing a middle-aged face.
He took his time and continued to move forward. Gradually the terrain became higher and higher, and he was heading towards the mountain.
The mountain that the Liang Family Town relies on belongs to the Liang Family. The mountain is not high, and there is a second-order spiritual vein on it.
Gu Hu
Halfway up the mountain is Liangjiazhenfang City.
However, the place where this person went was not in the direction of Fangshi, but——
Yang Zhen squinted at the huge Wubao in the distance. He had entered here as a distinguished guest and received the warmest reception.
Liangjiabao!
Sure enough, he is from the Liang family!
Yang Zhen was about to take a step forward when she suddenly looked at the girl next to her and felt troubled.
Although there were lessons learned from Fang Hong and others, as well as the banner of Palace Master Dou, he believed that the Liang family would never dare to act rashly against him if they had some brains.
However, we must also prevent dogs from jumping over the wall.
In this case, it would not be convenient to take Liu Rou with you.
…
"Master, just leave me at the inn." Liu Rou suggested obediently.
"How can this be good," Yang Zhen refused: "Your cultivation level is too low. If something happens, you may not be able to protect yourself."
"No one will notice me the way I am dressed now," the girl insisted.
The worst case scenario was to set up a phantom formation at her door, Yang Zhensi thought, and go to Liangjiabao to do some work. If everything goes well, she should be out in two or three hours.
Thinking of this, he took the girl back to the town, found a more luxurious mortal inn, and asked for a separate courtyard.
He left Liu Rou in the room, got some food, told her not to go out, and then set up a magic array outside the house.
After everything was settled, he left.
Less than ten feet away from the inn, he felt a little uneasy, so he sent out his spiritual consciousness and returned to the small courtyard.
Then, he heard a strange noise.
"Cheating sister, cheating sister." The girl called in a low voice.
Plug-in? Yang Zhen looked stunned.
"I want to go to my immortal space," Liu Rou continued: "When the young master comes back soon, you can send me out again so that I won't be exposed."
"I want to practice. I don't want to be a burden to the young master."
Her immortal space?
Suddenly, Yang Zhen seemed to understand something.
"Yiyi, Yiyi." He called the little fairy grass.
"Yeah." Xiaocao responded lazily.
"Liu Rou's Immortal Mansion Space, what's going on?"
"Oh, I was sleeping well, but you woke me up. How annoying!" Yiyi's voice was filled with displeasure. She did not answer the boy's question, but urged him:
"Go back quickly!"
Yang Zhen returned to the inn inexplicably, and when she was approaching the entrance of the small courtyard, Yiyi said again: "Invisible."
Yang Zhen used her [Invisibility Technique] with her fingers, sneaked into the room and came behind the girl.
Liu Rou didn't realize it and kept calling: "Plug-in, plug-in."
A flash of white light enveloped Liu Rou and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
…
Yang Zhen came to the gate of Liangjiabao again.
At this time, he had taken off his disguise and put on a white robe as the owner of the museum.
Looking at the guard standing guard at the door, the young man took a deep breath, his energy fell from his dantian, and he shouted loudly, his tongue bursting with spring thunder:
"People of Liangjiabao, listen up, Yang Zhen, the owner of the Wushui County Museum, is here. Open the door quickly and make sure there is no mistake!"
The sound resounded for miles, and could be heard clearly all the way to Fangshi on the mountainside.
