Three hours after sunrise, Jiang Tian, who was wearing obviously too brand-new official uniform, once again stood in the bloody and messy Le family's mansion. He looked at the broken rockery and pieces of furniture, the porch beams and pillars with large blood stains on them, and the broken limbs that were found from time to time.
A layer of red and black shriveled meat stuck to the back wall was the last trace of this hidden man’s existence in the world. According to many survivors who were scared to death at the scene, they swore that Le Xingda turned into a bloodthirsty monster in the blink of an eye.
Then, without hesitation, he went on a killing spree among the people who came to rescue him, dismembering, biting, and devouring the flesh and blood of more than a dozen of his closest confidants, leaders, and confidants on the spot. He then chased his subordinates who were frightened and fled in all directions, and broke through several banquet halls one after another.
This also caused extremely heavy casualties and fright to the guests who happened to be restrained after hearing the police. Many of them are well-known and famous people, or serving officials in important positions. Therefore, this matter cannot be suppressed even before dawn.
The criminals from Luoyang County and the guard Wuhou who came from nearby were frightened by the tragic scene entering Le's mansion. Then it was replaced by the patrol team of Henan Prefecture and the outer courtyard brothers of Wude Division, who came in to support and respond; but they still failed to stop and intercept the monster.
Therefore, when the Jinwu disciples of Luodu who belonged to the Zhu Street Envoy were also ordered to assemble and come from the station with equipment, they refused to enter the place again, and then ordered to surround them. While using long soldiers and crossbows to prevent their escape, they were looking for more professional foreign aid nearby.
This is also the reason why several people from the secret censorship department led by Jiang Tian were invited to appear here. Moreover, just as he settled Chu Yu and the other two women, he returned to his dormitory without stopping; the messenger from Zhu Street also knocked on his empty dormitory.
Therefore, Jiang Tian was pretending to be holding Linghu Xiaomu, who was suddenly awakened and kept in a daze; the subordinates who took turns knocking on the door finally found him in the midst of tacit and ambiguous glances. By the time we rushed to the scene after making hurried preparations, everything was almost over.
Because, under the rays of the early morning sun, this inhumane, noble and inhuman beast that wreaked havoc for the rest of the night seemed to be burned and festered, and the skin and flesh continued to fall off in pieces. fall. In the end, driven by the inescapable force of hiding and avoiding, it exploded into bloody powder in the air.
But obviously the subsequent series of events have just begun. In addition to the fragments of debris that were carefully scraped off the walls as important evidence, there were also more corpses or fragmented remains that were constantly being lifted out of the secret passages in the caves that were never covered or sealed.
However, pieces of bloody chains, shackles, cages and other torture instruments and utensils were brought out, as well as stacks and boxes of women's clothing. Occasionally, there is a fish that slips through the net and is so frightened that he loses consciousness and can only crazily chant "he is coming" and "living retribution".
And as the murderer who returned to the scene. Jiang Tian looked at everyone's work/his own masterpiece with an expressionless face and a subtle mood; at the same time, he guided them to search and excavate some corners that might have been forgotten or overlooked, to see what else might have been left behind. Traces and clues.
On the other hand, I was reflecting and recalling every bit of hardcore sneaking in last night, the gains and losses in specific details. For example, if you act clearly, you can be more subtle and more efficient; for example, try to leave a few people alive to lead the way, instead of venting/killing all the way impulsively.
After thinking about it, it would have been easier if it was just a physical punishment and elimination for a person like Le Xingda, who had lived freely in Luodu for many years and was known as a "hidden waiter" because of his hands and eyes that could reach the sky; but if he was to be held accountable for his private actions, It is almost impossible to plead guilty publicly and submit to the law.
Because this will involve the upper-class figures and wealthy backgrounds he has served for many years, or has secretly negotiated closely with. Therefore, unless there is a struggle between the upper-levels, even if he is willing to surrender to Yuji, there is a high probability that he will not be able to speak out. Died quietly in prison.
Therefore, Jiang Tian needed a reason and opportunity that could touch the upper echelons of Luodu and eradicate the power and relationship network they had built. And compared to those who bully men and women, destroy families and destroy families, but how can it compare with the beasts that appear in the city and threaten the safety of the city?
The former is likely to quickly turn into a major issue and a trivial matter after being thrown out a few scapegoats of sufficient weight and through exchange and compromise at the political level. The latter, invisibly endangering the lives of the city's upper-class figures, also gave Jiang Tian more room for subsequent operations.
For example, by digging three feet into the ground to search the scene for follow-up actions, it is easy to make the credentials and evidence that Jiang Tian took away from the underground cave last night openly public, and make those who were involved with him behind the scenes Existence, get into big trouble or take care of yourself.
Therefore, as more physical evidence emerged; Jiang Tian appropriately made it on the spot, a suggestion that could not be ignored. After the Jinwu Street envoys arrived, the people present in Henan Prefecture and Wudesi were forcibly cleared on the grounds that they might be suspected. Only a few leaders were left as witnesses.
In the end, when the late Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, a well-educated, graceful, fair-skinned and slightly fat middle-aged official, could only look at it with a look of pig liver color on his face, heaping up all kinds of physical evidence in the courtyard; especially It was the old and new female corpses that were dug up one after another from the pond and the rockery, and she lost her voice on the spot.
"How could this happen, how could this happen!" Then he murmured to himself, and went to Zhu Jie envoy: "This... this... must be a beast, it must be a beast." However, Zhu Jie The envoy said in a cold voice with hint of disdain: "It is still unclear whether it is a beast or a man-made disaster."
When Jiang Tian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. This is the typical behavior of officials in the Eastern Capital. On weekdays, I can fool around and fill the gap, so I can deal with it well; but if something really goes wrong and the blame is thrown out, the instinctive reaction and desire for survival engraved in the bones are also very strong.
However, through repeated torture/pressure last night, what Jiang Tian got from Le Xingda included good news that had not been seen for a long time, not so good news, and even good news.
The good news is that Le Xingda is indeed related to what Jiang Tian is tracking down. Therefore, during the repeated cross-examination and torture last night, the progress of the task advanced a lot, reaching a total of 11%. As a result, new auxiliary module options appear in the field of view.
It's just that Jiang Tian hasn't made up his mind to unlock it yet. After all, he already has two basic modules and two advanced modes. In addition, he accidentally learned that at least three forces were investigating, testing and dealing with him through the resources and means controlled by Le Xingda.
The not-so-good news is that Jiang Tian is still far away from the truth he is pursuing. Because based on Le Xingda's age and identity when the incident occurred, even if he was related to this incident, his degree of involvement behind the scenes was not too deep, and he was more of an indirect beneficiary.
The good news is that Le Xingda has known a lot of things in Luodu for so many years, and has secretly made friends with many people; but there are only a few people who can really be called protective umbrellas and secret allies. , there is still some gap between it and the court.
In addition, he has another, more secret identity. Because he was able to escape the pursuit of his family in Gouji Ridge, and moved to Luodu to start a new life; thanks to his panic at night, he happened to stumble upon a strange scene that was suspected of being a ghost marriage.
Then, when he woke up the next day and did not dare to say anything, he found that there were more than a dozen gold cakes appearing out of thin air behind the stone tablet. A few months later, someone came to visit him again and absorbed him into a secret society, giving him the first capital to start a business and official convenience.
He originally thought that the other party was just a smuggling gang hiding in the dark and playing tricks, but the other party's performance was extremely energetic. Not only did those members of his family who threatened him die violently, die violently, and disappear one after another, but he even went on the run and had an empty title fall on his head.
He also directly made him, who had just ascended the throne and had no foundation, become one of the five squadrons of the Yiwei of the Great Chao, a member of the Sanshou squad that only the disciples of the Xunmen could serve as; and then, after the late emperor took over, he obtained the Shanling Camp. The identity of the concubine under the Taoist envoy allowed Le Xingda to return to the upper class.
From this, he became determined to become a member of this secret society called "Wutian" and began his own path to prosperity. It's just that this organization has always been hidden very deep. For so many years, except for occasional secret contacts and instructions, it has no more sense of existence.
But through the contact person who appeared by chance, it seemed that he was monitoring his daily life all the time, as if he knew it like the back of his hand. Therefore, at best, he could only guess through some clues from his daily life. There might be similar identities and existences among the people he knew and interacted with.
And his greatest use as a member of the organization is to provide some targeted information from time to time; and to regularly collect most of the wealth through the anonymous redemption of several flying money accounts without attracting too much attention. Next, they will be delivered in batches one by one.
Therefore, when Jiang Tian searched his private collection, he found that there were not many belongings and money in it. There were only stacks of documents and anonymous letterheads written in regular script, strangely shaped gold and jade ornamental objects, and boxes full of strange and miscellaneous objects of unknown purpose.
According to what Le Xingda accidentally mentioned before losing consciousness for the fifth time; it was probably a few days before Jiang Tian arrived in Luodu. A secret organization that he had not contacted for a long time also suddenly sent a message; he was asked to pay attention to and collect some strange objects scattered among the people.
