Although the girl from the Beggar Clan still didn't have a good impression of Zhang Ren, she still held up her hands and said, "Xu Haoyuan from the Beggar Clan thanked you, Mr., because of his generosity in helping the beggars in Moss Village."
Zhang Ren also climbed up the pole and said, "It turns out that the girl's name is Xu Haoyuan. It's such a good name. Young Zhang Ren, this is so polite."
Zhang Ren tried his best to pretend to be educated, always feeling that educated young men would be more favored by girls' families.
But Xu Haoyuan is not that ordinary woman. Although she is young, she has been walking in the world for many years. What she dislikes most is the kind of man who talks about benevolence and morality but has no power to restrain a chicken. Moreover, Zhang Ren's expression looked like that of a prodigal, so Xu Haoyuan naturally wouldn't give him a good look.
I only heard Xu Haoyuan say: "Young master, you don't have to be polite. There are all beggars in Qingmaoshuang. There is really nothing good to entertain you. If you are fine, please come back."
Xu Haoyuan's tone was stiff, as if he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Zhang Ren pretended not to hear. He looked at Xu Haoyuan's clothes. The material of the clothes was rough, no different from ordinary people's homes. However, Xu Haoyuan himself was very heroic and clean. He looked very good in everything he wore. Zhang Ren asked: " I heard that your beggar sect has clean clothes and dirty clothes. I see that Miss Xu is cleanly dressed, so she must belong to the clean clothes sect, but I wonder if your clean clothes sect is still recruiting people?"
Xu Haoyuan still frowned, but still said patiently: "The Beggar Clan is spread all over the world. It is good if someone is willing to join. But not everyone can join the Jingyi Sect. I see that the young master is dressed in expensive clothes. I don't know. Is your home a merchant’s home or a scholar’s home?”
Zhang Ren scratched his head. He wanted to continue pretending to be a scholar, but he didn't look like he was lying to Xu Haoyuan, so he could only shake his head.
Xu Haoyuan asked again: "What does the young master do at home?"
Zhang Ren could only answer truthfully: "I am a noble son, but don't worry, Miss Xu, I am not a playboy. I have been studying at James's Mansion all year round, and my teacher is Mr. Huang Zicheng, who is also the top scorer in the Jinke Examination."
After hearing this, Xu Haoyuan's face showed a hint of coldness, "Young noble son? My adoptive father once warned me not to be friends with anyone in the imperial court. The Beggar Clan also has gang rules and does not recruit officials. Please come back, sir." From now on, you don’t have to come to Qingmaoshuang anymore.”
How can this be done? Zhang Ren hurriedly said: "Don't say goodbye. Not all noble children are bad people. Maybe what your foster father said is wrong."
Hearing this, Xu Haoyuan directly picked up a bamboo stick and gently pulled his wrist across it in front of Zhang Ren.
I saw a burst of inner energy rushing out, hitting the floor in front of Zhang Ren directly. Dust flew for a while, and Zhang Ren couldn't help but secretly thought: This Xu Haoyuan looks young, but his internal strength is definitely not as high as his own under.
Xu Haoyuan also said coldly: "Young Master, be careful, if you disrespect my foster father again, I will not let you go! You are not welcome in Moss Manor, please come back!"
After leaving a few words to drive people away, Xu Haoyuan turned around and walked towards the depths of the yard. When the dust cleared, a mark about two inches deep was left on the floor, which confirmed Zhang Ren's suspicion that Xu Haoyuan's internal power was unfathomable.
Zhang Ren shook his head gently. He had seen many daughters of distinguished families. Maybe it was due to feudal ethics. He always felt that those girls lacked some sunshine and frankness, except of course Han Qin.
….
So even though Zhang Ren had seen a lot of beauties, he couldn't say he liked her. When he met Xu Haoyuan today, he saw something different in her. With just one glance, Zhang Ren was moved.
Now that he had messed up, Zhang Ren asked himself that he was not a shameless person like Liu Erbing. It was always better for two people to be in love with each other. Since he showed obvious disgust, Zhang Ren could only leave silently.
The old beggar had accepted a lot of love from Zhang Ren, but now he could only shrug and express that he was helpless.
…
Today's Jinling is covered with clouds, just like Zhang Ren's mood. Even at night, the bright moon is still shrouded in dark clouds.
At midnight, almost everyone had gone to sleep. As soon as the watcher walked away, a black shadow rolled into Dingyuanfang.
Dingyuanfang tight
It is adjacent to Dinghuaimen. It is far away from the main streets of Jinling City. It is not prosperous. It is also in a bad location and has cheap housing prices. Many ordinary people choose to settle here.
There are low-rise houses all around. The better-off people will use bricks and stones to build courtyard walls, while the poorer ones will find some branches and bamboo sticks to build fences.
The dark figure looked around and then entered a house.
Seeing someone breaking in, the dog raised by this family did its duty, wrinkled its nose and showed its canine teeth, and started barking crazily.
The silence of the endless black shadows was broken by the barking of dogs. When a dog barks, the dogs of the surrounding people will also bark. For a while, the barking of dogs can be heard one after another, and the entire Dingyuanfang is soon buried by the barking of dogs.
Many people in Dingyuanfang were disturbed by the barking of dogs. No one knew what the dogs were howling in the middle of the night. Some people closed their ears and turned over to continue sleeping. Some people cursed and covered themselves with quilts. The head fell back into sleep, and some people were afraid that someone would do something bad at night, but in the dark night, it was hard to go out to check, so they could only slowly fall asleep in fear.
Until early the next morning, many people were still cursing for not sleeping well yesterday. But when they opened the door, the first thing that hit their noses was not the fresh air, but the pungent smell of blood.
Many people followed the smell of blood and soon saw a dead dog hanging above the courtyard door of a family.
The dog had been injured countless times by sharp objects, and all the blood seemed to have drained out. People gathered around the house and pointed, wondering how the dog died and why the owner ignored it.
Finally, a neighbor who liked animals untied the dog's body and prepared to go in to question the dog's owner about what happened.
But when he went to push the door, he found that the door was not locked from the inside, but could be pushed open with a slight push. When the neighbor just put his head into the house, he yelled and backed out.
The neighbors around him didn't know what he saw, so they came forward to ask.
But he seemed to have seen some terrible scene, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
Seeing that they couldn't find anything, the neighbors simply went into the house one by one to take a look. But when they saw the situation inside the house, none of them were much better.
It turns out that not only the dog died in this family, but all seven members of the family, including three generations, died unexpectedly.
….
This incident immediately alarmed the Yingtian Mansion. Yingtian Mansion handles many murder cases every year, but few dare to commit crimes in Jinling City. Because of this, the Mansion attaches great importance to it and directly dispatches the first arrester Lin Ling. come over.
I heard that Lin Ling worshiped a master in the martial arts world in his early years and learned very good kung fu. He began to travel in the martial arts world when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. He has been traveling in the martial arts world for ten years. When he saw that his parents were old, he decided to He lost his temper and began to concentrate on serving his parents at home.
Because of his strong physique and extraordinary martial arts skills, he entered the government office as a servant. Lin Ling lived up to his expectations and became the most well-known head catcher in Yingtian Prefecture in just three years.
Lin Ling led a group of detectives to the scene of the murder. He collected the bodies of the family and immediately rushed back to the government office after inspecting the scene.
Seeing Lin Ling coming back, Ying Tianfu Yin also asked directly: "How is it?"
Lin Ling had been working for the government in the past few years, and his unruly temper had already subsided. He said to Yin Wanyu of Yingtian Mansion: "Sir, all seven members of the deceased's family were killed, and the murderer did not even spare the infant baby."
Ying Tianfu Yin is equivalent to the mayor of the capital. At the same time, he also pays taxes, pays taxes, and tries to arrest people. If the case is not handled well, he will definitely be criticized by the officials.
Over the years, Wan Yuzhi has been working hard and not daring to slack off. At the same time, he does not dispute his merits, and he can be regarded as a good old man.
Wan Yuzhi nodded and told Lin Ling: "Then let's solve this case as soon as possible."
Lin Ling did not accept the order, but seemed hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Wan Yuzhi asked again: "What? Are there any difficulties in this case? Chief Lin said it's okay."
Lin Ling could only say: "I dare not deceive you in my humble position. This case
I'm afraid our government office can't handle it. "
This made Wan Yuzhi interested. He knew Lin Ling well. He had cracked many cases in the past three years, and he had arrested many extremely vicious people. Even if he encountered no matter how difficult the case was in the past few years, Lin Ling would Ling also never said that he couldn't do this.
"Oh? Can you tell me why?"
Lin Ling sighed and said: "Sir, there are no survivors left in the deceased's home. The murderer didn't even spare the dog, and hung the dog's body above the gate, as if he was afraid that others would not find out that a murder occurred here. This is a lowly position. After checking the wounds of the seven deceased, only the necks had fatal wounds. The murder weapon should be a sharp sword. All the deceased were killed with one sword, and the wounds were flat, which shows that the murderer was very experienced in using the sword. The murderer had a stable mentality during the killing. Human life is like a piece of grass, without even shaking one's hand. People who can do this are definitely not ordinary people. They should be Jianghu people, and they are murderous Jianghu people."
It's not that there are no masters in the court, but most of the masters have important matters and generally won't participate in the process of catching the murderer. If a Jianghu person kills someone, it is naturally easier to escape the government's pursuit.
Wan Yuzhi nodded and asked, "Maybe we can see how strong the criminal is?"
Lin Ling closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Based on the sword marks left by the murderer, he could roughly deduce the murderer's strength. After a while, Lin Ling opened his eyes. He shook his head at Wan Yuzhi and said, "You are humble and incompetent. You are no match for the murderer."
Wan Yuzhi couldn't help but take a breath. In his eyes, Lin Ling's martial arts were so superb that they were comparable to those of gods. However, Lin Ling thought he was inferior. How high could the murderer's martial arts be?
Night rivers and lakes.
