Under the dark night, a figure quietly walked into the courtyard.
Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang discovered that this was a servant of the Zhu Mansion. He seemed to be old and slightly stooped. He was holding an oil can in his hand. The two of them thought he was here to lick the lamp oil in the yard, so they withdrew their consciousness and continued to exchange experiences.
The clouds in the sky moved slowly, and the dim moonlight happened to shine on this man's face.
He looked into the moonlight, his pupils as slender as snake eyes.
The snake-eyed monster first walked to the stone lamp that illuminated the road in the yard, and gently blew out the light inside. Then he went straight to the outside of Zhang Xiuyang's room, gently raised his hand and poked the window screen, making an inaudible sound.
Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang both have extremely sensitive hearing, so naturally this sound cannot escape their ears.
The two of them looked at each other and felt strange. What was this man doing poking at Zhang Xiuyang's window screen?
The man opened his mouth, spit out a long tongue, and slowly penetrated the hole.
The curled tip of his tongue spread out, and a small black ball the size of a soybean rolled to the ground. As soon as the ball hit the ground, it seemed to be alive. It suddenly stretched out, flapped its wings and flew into the air.
The snake-eyed monster outside the house retracted his tongue and walked quietly to Song Xin's window...
Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang didn't light the lights in the house. When they heard the man approaching, they all looked towards the window.
At this time, I heard a pop and the window screen was punctured. Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang saw the strange man lying on the window with his mouth open. His shadow was illuminated by the moonlight outside, like a big toad. Then a disgusting long tongue reached into the house through the hole, and a small black ball was thrown to the ground.
With a "buzz", the ball immediately unfolded its body. Its eyes seemed to have infrared thermal imaging capabilities, and it immediately discovered two red human figures.
This black ball seemed to have some intelligence. Two people noticed that Zhang Xiuyang's cultivation was slightly weaker and flew over like bloodthirsty mosquitoes. Zhang Xiuyang sneered, popped out a talisman with his finger, and shot down the black ball in the air.
After a slight "snap" sound of the carapace hitting the ground, the black ball seemed to struggle for a few times and then stopped moving.
Song Xin had already rushed to the window at this time, clamped the man's tongue with his fingers before he could retract it, and then flicked his fingers, and a bolt of thunder and lightning rushed along the tongue into the body of the man outside the window.
A black shadow flew backwards and fell heavily in the corner of the yard.
This snake-eyed monster was numb all over and struggled for a long time without being able to get up. Suddenly three golden lights flashed in front of his eyes, knocking him three more times.
The snake-eyed monster didn't know whether it was because of pain or anger. He made a hissing sound in his mouth. Seeing that the people in the room had rushed out, he hurriedly wanted to jump over the wall and escape.
"Want to leave?" Song Xin sneered, and with a flash of his body, he grabbed the snake-eyed monster by the collar and pulled him backwards. The man couldn't withstand Song Xin's strength and fell to the ground on his back.
Song Xin couldn't help but be startled when she saw that he actually had snake eyes.
With this stunned moment, the snake-eyed monster stood up from a carp on the ground, and then pounced on Song Xin.
Song Xin reacted very quickly, and without saying a word, he was hit with a heavy punch. The snake-eyed monster seemed not to have expected the other party to react so quickly, and received a solid punch in the face.
This punch directly dug into his forehead bone, and there was a snapping sound in his neck.
"Broken neck!?"
Song Xin immediately regretted it. He wanted to catch him alive for interrogation, but he didn't expect that he was too harsh.
Outside the courtyard, the sounds of chaotic footsteps came from far to near. Several servants on night duty were disturbed by the noise here.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Disturbed, he hurried over to check.
It didn't matter, he actually saw Song Xin break the neck of a servant at home with one punch.
"Killing!" The night watchman was frightened and couldn't help shouting. A person behind him was holding a bamboo tube for keeping watch, and he also hurriedly rang the bell.
"Bang bang bang bang!" The rapid tapping sound of the bamboo tube was like pouring a basin of cold water into a hot oil pan.
Wei Tong and others were also awakened by the noise. They thought they were being attacked by bandits at night, so they rushed out grabbing the weapons at hand.
"I didn't kill anyone!!" Song Xin hurriedly explained loudly, but no one was willing to listen at this time. Several night watchmen in the Zhu Mansion thought that Song Xin was going to kill someone and silence him, so they screamed in fright and fled in all directions.
After a while, dozens of people gathered inside and outside the courtyard, holding lanterns and blocking Song Xin, Zhang Xiuyang and others in the courtyard.
"You...why did you kill my old servant in the middle of the night?" A night watchman asked tremblingly.
Zhang Xiuyang pointed at the guy lying on the ground and curled his lips in disdain, "He is not an old servant. If you don't believe me, look at his eyes."
The night watcher looked up and saw that the man on the ground was motionless, obviously dead.
"Nonsense! This is my old servant. How can I not recognize him after he has been here for more than ten years!?"
Wei Tong came over and asked in a reproachful tone: "Brother Xian, what's going on?"
His first reaction in desperation was that Song Xin killed someone while drunk. Guo Yi came over and saw the man lying on the ground, also looking extremely shocked, "Brother Song! What's wrong with you?"
Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang felt helpless, and at the same time regretted that they could not leave any survivors. When they were about to explain the situation to them, the crowd dispersed, and Mr. Zhu walked in wearing a fur coat and a dozen servants. , for a time the lanterns and torches illuminated the courtyard even brighter.
When Mr. Zhu saw the old servant lying down in the courtyard, his face suddenly darkened.
"How is this going!?"
"It was this young master who drunkenly killed the old servant who was doing the work at night."
"Yes, I heard the sound of fighting and ran over to see. Mr. Song... broke the old servant's neck with just one punch."
Song Xin quickly stepped forward and wanted to explain.
"Mr. Zhu, please allow me to explain."
"Stop talking, I understand everything." Mr. Zhu was also very flustered, and he couldn't listen to Song Xin's explanation.
Zhang Xiuyang became anxious when he saw that they said that Song Xin had killed someone without asking questions, and said, "This is not your old servant at all. If you don't believe me, just open his eyes and you will know!"
After all, Mr. Zhu had received favor from Zhang Xiuyang, so he ordered a night watchman beside him: "Go and have a look."
"Yes, Master." The night watchman anxiously walked to the old servant and gently opened his eyelids, "Sir, this is the old servant of our family. He fell ill a few years ago and cannot see in one eye. .”
"What!" Zhang Xiuyang and Song Xin were both shocked. They hurriedly walked to the old servant on the ground and opened his eyelids. However, there were no snake eyes, just normal human eyes!
Mr. Zhu snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu kindly made friends and invited you to stay in the manor. But I didn't expect that you would beat my old servant to death in a drunken private fight late at night!"
Wei Tong's face looked very ugly at this time. He didn't believe that Song Xin would do such a reckless thing, but what he saw in front of him couldn't help but make him disbelief.
"Brother Xian, what happened to you today!?"
"Xiuyang and I heard him sneaking around in the yard and even opened our windows
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Poke it open and spit out a small insect. I originally wanted to capture him and ask him for answers, but my attack was a bit harsh..."
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he became very angry and pointed at Song Xin, "Brother Song, what do you mean by this? I think you have helped Mr. Zhu before. You wanted to solve the problem privately, but you falsely accused my old servant. Is it possible?" Is he trying to harm you!?"
Wei Tong took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhu, "Mr. Zhu, I am afraid that my adopted brother and this brother Zhang drank a few too many drinks, and they just fought with the bandits and were in a nervous mood. The old servant thinks they are bad guys. I also ask Mr. Zhu to forgive them for the sake of Wei. Wei is willing to bear the funeral and pension expenses of the old servant."
Guo Yi also hurriedly stood up, "Brother Song is usually very steady and will never be so impulsive. There must be other reasons tonight. Please don't get angry, Mr. Zhu, and investigate the matter in detail before making a conclusion."
Mr. Zhu lowered his head angrily, thought for a moment, and then sighed.
"This old servant has been in my family for many years, but I don't want to die in such an unknown way tonight... Mr. Wei, Mr. Guo, it's sad to see a good horse in the family die, let alone a human being... "
Guo Yi also hurriedly advised: "Of course I understand. I don't want to report this to the official first. How about we wait until we investigate and find out?"
Mr. Zhu shook his head, "My old servant died unjustly. Mr. Song and Mr. Zhang saved our family. I will not pursue this matter."
When Guo Yi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Master Zhu looked at Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang again, "You two gentlemen, I won't argue with you about tonight's affairs. Zhu will be responsible for the funeral affairs of this old servant, but From now on...please don't come to Zhu's house again."
Song Xin and Zhang Xiuyang were stunned, Master Zhu actually issued an order to expel them.
Zhang Xiuyang was naturally unconvinced and wanted to argue. Song Xin patted his shoulder to stop him.
"Master Zhu didn't remember my fault, he just kicked us out. It's already a great favor. I'll leave now. I will never bother you in the house from now on."
Mr. Zhu sighed heavily, "You two, please come now."
Wei Tong also felt that he was wrong, so he cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhu, Wei has also left. Wei will have the old servant's burial expenses paid tomorrow."
"You're welcome, Mr. Wei." Mr. Zhu thanked him with his hands, but had no intention of staying.
"Zhang Hu, escort the prisoner, let's go." Wei Tong gave the order, and Zhang Hu and Zhou Zhong turned around and walked out of the yard.
Master Zhu sighed and ordered, "Go and help some people carry the old servant out first..." Then he turned around, shook his head and left with a sigh. The people who were here to watch all dispersed one by one, leaving only Wei Tong, Song Xin, Zhang Xiuyang, Guo Yi, and a few night watchmen from the Zhu Mansion.
"Brother Wei, there is something fishy at this time." Song Xin whispered to Wei Tong at this time, and Wei Tong nodded, "I also think there is a problem, we will talk about it on the way."
After a few people left, the yard became dark and quiet again. Several night watchmen carefully placed the old servant's body on a wooden board. Before he could lift it up, the old servant's body trembled, as if he had been electrocuted.
A night watchman was startled by the sudden movement. He couldn't help but look at the corpse. His hands and feet instantly felt cold. He saw that the old servant's eyes had opened at some point, with a pair of slender pupils like a snake lizard. Staring at him, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
The night watchman's legs weakened and he sat on the ground in fright. The board crooked and the body rolled down to his feet.
"It's a fake corpse!"
The night watchman screamed in fright, but before he could finish his words, a skinny hand grabbed his ankle.
