It took Liu Feilong a long time to react.
"Twenty years ago, the new city lord discussed with General He to build this place into a military fortress to prevent the Yan army from using this place as a breakthrough point, so the whole village moved to Yushan Village on the outskirts of the border city, but - "
Speaking of this, Liu Feilong's face looked a little sad.
"What's wrong?"
"Hongyu and Tienniu have passed away."
"What?"
Zhao Tianming was shocked.
"They are still so young, how could they die?"
His eyes were extremely shocked.
Liu Feilong hesitated, obviously having something to say.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
Zhao Tianming said in a deep voice.
Liu Feilong sighed: "About ten years ago, when Hongyu entered the city, she had a dispute with someone. The next day, she died in the village. Tieniu was unconvinced and entered the city. In the end, she never died again. Never appeared."
"Who did it?"
"I don't know about that."
Liu Feilong's eyes flickered a little.
"really do not know?"
Zhao Tianming asked again.
Liu Feilong gritted his teeth and said: "I really don't know. I have been stationed in Taiping Village and rarely come back to the city. I only heard about General He when I came back to the city later. It took him a long time to find out. He also said that he was sorry for you and didn't do anything for you. Take care of them."
"alright."
Zhao Tianming turned around and got into the car.
"Brother Zhao, since you are here, why don't you have a drink before leaving?"
Liu Feilong quickly persuaded him to stay.
Zhao Tianming turned his head, took a deep look at Liu Feilong, and said with some disappointment: "No need, the general still has military affairs to attend to, so I won't interrupt him and take my leave."
Drive away.
Liu Feilong's eyes changed, but in the end he could only sigh leisurely.
"General."
Someone came forward and shouted softly.
"Forget it, we can't afford to offend him. If you send a letter to General He Feige, just say that Zhao Tianming went to Yushan Village to find his relatives."
Liu Feilong ordered.
"He obviously didn't tell you the truth and deliberately concealed it."
Lan Ji said.
"I know."
"This friend is not very good."
Lan Ji gave her own evaluation.
Zhao Tianming was silent for a moment: "It seems that the person who killed my sister has a lot of background. Besides, he has the right to choose. I don't mean to blame him."
He indeed did not blame Liu Feilong.
However, from then on, the friendship between the two ended here.
He never expected that Hongyu and Tieniu would pass away so young.
He must investigate this matter clearly.
No matter who is involved, they must not let each other go.
The carriage soon arrived at the border town. Zhao Tianming did not dismount, but only asked about the location of Yushan Village and drove straight there.
Yushan Village is a small village.
Newly built over twenty years ago.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.
Zhao Tianming led Lan Ji into the village.
Most of the villagers back then are no longer alive, but some still recognized Zhao Tianming.
Then, many people came out to greet him, surrounded him, and were very affectionate. It could be seen that there was pride in their eyes, but also some uneasiness.
Proud because Zhao Tianming once lived in Taiping Village for a while.
Uneasy because Zhao Tianming obviously came for Hongyu and Tieniu, but both of them were gone.
Soon, the village chief came.
He still looks like that. He is a cultivator. Although his cultivation level is not high and he is still only in the Tianxuan realm, he can live much longer than ordinary people.
"Abu!"
The village chief said tremblingly.
Hearing this name, Zhao Tianming felt warm in his heart. He stepped forward to hold the village chief's hand and said, "Village Chief, how are you doing, old man?"
"It's okay, how did you find this place?"
"I'm here to see my sister Hongyu." Zhao Tianming took a breath.
Sure enough, a group of people all looked gloomy.
Obviously, Hongyu is really dead.
"Let's all disperse. Stop standing here. Come on, Abu, I'll take you to see them."
The village chief dispersed the crowd and led Zhao Tianming and Lan Ji to the east end of the village.
There is a grave there. It can be seen that it is often taken care of. There is a pot of wine, a few fruits, and a lot of paper money placed in front of the grave.
"I'm sorry, Abu, I didn't take care of them for you."
The village chief sighed, his eyes red with self-blame.
"This is none of your business, village chief. Can you tell me what is going on?"
Zhao Tianming asked.
The village chief nodded, with an angry look on his face: "Of course I have to tell you. I've been waiting for you to come here, but I've waited for you. I know that you are the consort of our Great Qin Empire. This matter can only be solved by You can make the decision, they were all harmed by traitors, you must avenge them!"
While talking, the village elder burst into tears and was very sad and angry.
"Don't worry, I swear, no matter who harmed them, I will never let them go."
Zhao Tianming swore.
The village chief said: "I believe you, it was the city lord's only son who killed them."
He gave the answer directly.
Then he began to tell the story of what happened.
It turns out that ten years ago, Hongyu once went to the city to sell fish. Unexpectedly, she met Qin Yan, the son of the city lord. The latter took a fancy to him and took him into the house. Although Hongyu resisted desperately, he was raped in the end. , the next day, when she woke up, she had been thrown outside the city. She returned to the village and told Tieniu about the matter. The latter went to the city lord to seek revenge from Qin Yan, and never came back. Yu later hanged herself at home.
Zhao Tianming's eyes began to turn red.
Although Hongyu is not his biological sister, the latter has saved his life.
If he didn't take this sister seriously, Zhao Tianming wouldn't have made a special trip to visit him. He never expected that his sister would actually die.
And he died so miserably.
He must avenge this.
The village chief continued: "Qin Yan is the only son of the city lord Qin Tianlei, and the Qin family is considered a royal family, and he and his Majesty are also from the same clan, so they can be regarded as princes. So later I investigated the truth of the matter and found out that Tieniu had already After they destroyed the body and wiped out all traces, they went to General He to discuss it. However, General He was also in a difficult position. He said that he would send people to the imperial capital to look for you, but then he failed to find you, so the matter has been dragged on until now. Don't blame him, after all. , the status of the Lord of the City is extraordinary, and he is in the Great Perfection of Heaven and Human Realm. The heavy snowfall a few years ago made his cultivation even better than before. General He is not his opponent, and the Lord of the City is in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole city. In affairs, he is very strong in doing things, and a strong general also has his difficulties."
Zhao Tianming nodded: "I don't blame him. I can handle this matter myself. Okay, village chief, thank you. This is my wish. Don't refuse."
He took out a Qiankun bag and gave it to the village chief.
The latter declined for a while and finally accepted it, but when he opened it and took a look, he couldn't help but be shocked.
One million spirit stones.
"Abu, I can't accept it."
The village chief was frightened...
Zhao Tianming said: "You wait for me in the village. I will go and get Qin Yan's head. Lan Ji, you can also wait for me here. I will come back as soon as I go."
Lan Ji nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Tianming had already walked out.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw a general standing outside.
It was General He.
"I've met the Prince Consort."
General He saluted respectfully.
Zhao Tianming frowned slightly and said very coldly: "General, you are too polite. I have something else to do. I will catch up with you later when I have the opportunity."
After saying that, he was leaving.
General He said quickly: "Young Master Zhao, are you going to find Qin Yan? I know where he is, and I can go with you."
