Although he did not go on an expedition with his father, he also understood that the burden on his father was not light now. Finding the murderer was a thankless job.
Just then Dobang arrived.
Liu Yuanwen should also be unlucky. The last time Duobang came, the lights were on in his room and Liu Xiangnan was asleep, so Duobang didn't know Liu Xiangnan's residence, but he remembered Liu Yuanwen's residence.
Therefore, Duobang followed the familiar route and arrived on Liu Yuanwen's roof.
At this time, Liu Yuanwen was unaware and was still here in a daze. Duobang hung his body upside down, hooked his toes on the eaves, bent his body and leaned down.
He poked his finger through the window and looked inside. He saw that Liu Yuanwen was alone, and the maid next to him was not there. He couldn't help but laugh. It was easy to kill this defenseless scholar.
Duobang took out his crossbow, quietly aimed at Liu Yuantian's chest, pulled the trigger, and fired two arrows.
Liu Yuantian didn't know martial arts. He was caught off guard and had no time to dodge. Two short arrows hit his chest hard.
Seeing that the blow hit, Duobang did not hesitate, curled up, climbed to the roof, and fled the scene quickly.
It was already half an hour later when the others discovered that Liu Yuantian had been killed.
Cuizhu, the maid serving Liu Yuantian, walked in with a bowl of hot porridge. Seeing this scene, she was stunned for a moment, let out an earth-shattering shout, and then ran out of the house.
Hearing the shout, Liu Kai came quickly, "What's wrong with Cuizhu?"
"The eldest housekeeper, the eldest young master, he, he, he..." Cuizhu pointed at the room in horror.
Liu Kai suddenly felt an ominous premonition and strode in to take a look. The scene in front of him shocked Liu Kai.
Liu Yuantian was sitting on a chair, his head tilted back, almost at a right angle to the sky. The large blood stain on his chest had dried. If he came forward to try, he would have run out of breath.
Alas!
Liu Kaixin was shocked. It’s true that blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come alone!
Miss Liu didn't know whether she was alive or dead, but Liu Yuantian did this again.
But Liu Kai didn't dare to hide such a big matter, so he could only bite the bullet and come to see Liu Xiangnan.
Liu Xiangnan actually heard the shouting outside and saw Liu Kai coming in. He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on outside? It's so noisy."
"Master, you must hold on."
Liu Xiangnan's expression changed at Liu Kai's words. Generally speaking, something big must have happened.
"Oh, what happened?"
Before Liu Kai could speak, tears were already flowing out, "Master, eldest young master, he, he, he was killed."
After saying this, Liu Xiangnan stood up suddenly and looked at Liu Kai with an incredulous expression, "How is this possible, Yuan Tian, him?"
"Master, Cuizhu discovered it just now, so don't go and look at it."
Liu Xiangnan hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward slowly, "Why don't I go and see it? I want to go and see Yuan Tian."
After speaking, Liu Xiangnan took a step forward.
After just a few steps, Liu Xiangnan staggered, and Liu Kai quickly stepped forward to help him. Although Liu Xiangnan tried his best to control his body, Liu Kai could obviously feel the sadness in this old man's heart!
This is also understandable.
Liu Xiangnan had two sons and one daughter. The second son Liu Yuanwu died in Qingniu Mountain.
The eldest son Liu Yuantian is like this now.
The only daughter, Liu Rumei, lives in the land of the earth, and her life or death is uncertain.
Such a fate would be too cruel for Liu Xiangnan.
Liu Kai supported Liu Xiangnan and came to the door of Liu Yuantian's bedroom.
Zheng Ke, Ma Xiaogang and others had already gathered around the door, but no one dared to go in.
Having said that, it doesn't matter whether you go in or not, it has already happened.
Seeing Liu Xiangnan coming, everyone present knelt down.
Liu Xiangnan waved to everyone, "Okay, you all get up!"
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house.
Seeing Liu Yuantian's scene, Liu Xiangnan felt even more uncomfortable. He came forward and gently lifted Liu Yuantian's head and put it into his arms.
"Retribution, this is all retribution. If anyone wants me to kill too many people, the retribution will be on you."
"Oh my god, why are you so unfair? Yuan Tian has no power to restrain a chicken. He has not killed anyone. He wants retribution. Can't you repay me?"
Liu Kai burst into tears when he saw this scene. Losing a son in old age is a heavy blow to anyone.
Liu Xiangnan held Liu Yuantian and cried for a long time, and finally sorted out his thoughts.
Seeing him making a move, Liu Kai dared to step forward and whispered, "Master, please forgive me. The top priority is to find the murderer immediately."
Liu Xiangnan nodded, "Yes, find the murderer."
Liu Kai cupped his fists and said, "I think we should mobilize manpower immediately and search the whole city. The murderer must not have escaped yet."
Liu Xiangnan thought for a while and sighed slightly, "We searched the whole city a while ago, but we always found nothing. Later, it was Chen Xiaobei who came up with the idea and asked the emperor to hold a banquet, so that we could catch all the so-called black wolves. !”
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai suddenly realized something, "Master, then I will go and invite my uncle right away."
Chen Xiaobei had already fallen asleep at this time, but he was suddenly woken up by a shout. He was shocked when he heard that Liu Yuantian had been killed.
At the same time, I felt a pang of regret that my uncle, who was well-read in poetry and literature, had never held any official position because of his father's obstruction, that is, he was just a commoner.
As of now, he is still unmarried, so he has not left a son and a half for the old Liu family. Liu Xiangnan's two sons are both dead, which is pitiful.
Along the way, listening to Zheng Ke and others telling the story of Liu Yuantian's murder, Chen Xiaobei knew that this must have been done by people from the Great Earth Kingdom. This was the same trick as the assassination of Prince Xiao Jingyun.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly thought of the letter he received two days ago. It must have been done by Duobang.
But he also knew that there were hundreds of thousands of people in Wannian City. It is unrealistic to search the entire city.
Just like the Lotus Leader and Shen Ziyan had been tossing several times in Qingguang City, Jopson couldn't do anything to him either.
Along the way, Chen Xiaobei already had an idea. Judging from the successive attacks on the prince and Liu Yuantian, Chen Xiaobei believed that Duobang would definitely be interested in him.
When he saw Liu Xiangnan, he first comforted him with kind words.
"Father-in-law, there is no resurrection from the dead. Please show your condolences. It is important to take care of yourself!"
Liu Xiangnan nodded slightly, and his tone became very calm, "Xiao Bei, I called you here because I wanted to discuss with you whether there is any better way to find this murderer besides a city-wide search! "
Chen Xiaobei cupped his fists and said to Liu Xiangnan, "Father-in-law, the other party's purpose is to cause us panic."
"Now about my eldest brother's situation, please don't make it public. Just let the public know that my eldest brother has also been poisoned and is visiting famous doctors."
