Woohoo~
The morning fog had not yet dispersed, and Li Yuan felt like he could smell blood.
"There are dozens of monks, all of them are dead?!"
Li Yuan felt a little chill in his heart when he saw a blood-stained cart being rolled out from the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple.
"It's so cruel, it really wipes out the whole family!"
There was a commotion on the street. Some people backed away in fear, while others stretched their necks to look.
"It's all gone, it's gone! Your blood is cold, do you still want to eat it with steamed buns or something?"
A government official shouted loudly, and there were more than a dozen dog corpses piled on the cart he was pushing.
Not a single dog was left alive...
"Sora, the host of Kongding is dead!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and then there was an uproar.
Among the nine Gaoliu temples, the Bodhisattva temple ranks first.
In the eyes of most people, the abbot of the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple is a big shot, with hands and eyes so deep that even the county magistrate always asks for advice.
But now, lying on a cold cart, his chest and head were smashed into a ball. If the cassock wasn't so eye-catching, no one would be able to recognize him.
Last night, this old monk roared like a lion and was as powerful as the wind. He was beaten to a great defeat, but now...
Li Yuan glanced at the wound, and it looked more familiar:
"This is a hammer kill!"
Hammer to kill, and it’s a heavy hammer!
Li Yuan mentally gestured at the wounds on Kongding's body and came to a conclusion.
The murderer's hammer was much bigger than his. The old monk, who was as fierce as a tiger last night, didn't even catch the hammer, and his head was shattered...
"Too fierce!"
Li Yuan felt a little hairy when he thought that there was such a vicious person hiding in Gaoliu City, and the people nearby were also in an uproar.
"It's all gone, gone!"
County Lieutenant Liu Bin's face was as dark as water, and he reprimanded loudly, and all the government officials dispersed to clear the place.
Li Yuan was about to retreat when he saw Liu Zheng was there, and with a thought in his heart, he came closer:
"Brother Liu."
"Brother Li is here too?"
Liu Zheng didn't say anything. Several government officials bypassed Li Yuan and pushed other people. After a while, most of the people watching were dispersed.
"How miserable!"
Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "The future popularity of the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple will definitely plummet."
If the Bodhisattva fails to protect the monks living in the temple, the popularity of the temple will surely plummet.
Li Yuan nodded, but he had no sympathy in his heart.
His second brother and second sister-in-law burned incense and paid tribute every year, which was regarded as pious. However, these monks who suffered from the plague not only had no gratitude, but also secretly played dirty tricks.
Death is also very satisfying.
"Father."
Liu Bin, with a gloomy face, walked over, glanced at Li Yuan, and frowned slightly:
"Who are you?"
"Father, this is Li Yuan, the disciple of the old soldier forging Xiangpang."
Liu Zheng introduced him on his behalf.
"It turns out he is Mr. Zhang's disciple."
Liu Bin nodded, his expression slightly changed: "It's a coincidence that you came..."
"What did my lord say?"
Li Yuan had already guessed it and pretended not to know.
"Your third shopkeeper, Mr. Wang Ding, was also brutally murdered last night..."
Liu Bin pointed to the cart not far away and automatically ignored the blood-stained night clothes:
"Then please help me, little brother, to take it back."
"The third shopkeeper..."
Li Yuan looked shocked and reluctantly accepted this hard task. He came closer and scanned Wang Ding's body, and found that there was nothing on Wang Ding, not even the iron gun he carried.
'A very good hand at touching corpses.
Glancing at each class of yamen officers from the corner of his eye, Li Yuan pushed the cart. Before he had gone far, he heard another exclamation.
"There are still dead people here!"
"Why are there still more?!"
Liu Bin's face was already
It's ugly.
As the county lieutenant in charge of public security and catching thieves, he seemed to have seen a huge scapegoat about to be placed on his head.
What comforted him a little was that the county magistrate had gone somewhere, and he was not the only one who was derelict in his duties.
"Another one dies..."
Li Yuan pushed the cart along the way, and when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Another acquaintance!
"Li Ba?"
Li Yuan couldn't help but squint his eyes.
In an alley filled with sewage, a middle-aged man with a sallow face turned his back to the sky. He stretched out his hand to grab the wall with unwillingness. A black knife was inserted into the ground, and the ground was dyed red with blood.
"Human skin mask!"
Li Yuan was startled and remembered something.
But in full view of everyone, he could only watch helplessly as Liu Bin walked over with his wife.
"The mask is so lifelike, it shouldn't be discovered, right?"
Li Yuan quickened his movements and pushed the cart out of the inner city. After a while, under the constant gaze of passers-by, he pushed the cart back to the forge.
"Wang Ding?!"
Zhang Bi was shocked when he heard the news. He read it carefully several times and was still a little confused:
"Why, why are they all dead?!"
Li Yuan didn't even pretend to ask, because Yu Zhen's mutilated body was lying nearby, covered with rags, and still had a strong smell of blood.
"This, this...the two of them..."
Looking left and right, Zhang Bi felt confused for a moment.
The second and third shopkeepers all died overnight? !
"Third shopkeeper, he, he actually..."
"They are all wearing night clothes, could it be..."
"Here, who killed the shopkeepers?!"
…
The disciples in the front and backyard and the blacksmith assistants in the forge all came after hearing the news. They were all in an uproar when they saw the bodies of the two shopkeepers.
After that, they all looked at Zhang Bi:
"Old Zhang..."
Without Cao Yan, the second and third shopkeepers are dead, and Zhang Bi is now the oldest in the weapon forging shop.
Zhang Ben frowned, but before he could speak, a powerful voice came from outside. Leader Zhao came with a gun, his face solemn:
"Inform the families of the two shopkeepers, and the rest of the people should disperse and do whatever they need to do!"
Zhang Ben frowned slightly, but also chided in agreement:
"Let's all disperse!"
…
Li Yuan put down the body, turned around and left without wasting any time.
"father!"
Faintly, he seemed to hear Wang Gong's cry.
But he didn't even look back. He pushed the empty cart and ran very fast. After a while, he got into the blockade again in the name of delivering the cart.
But the alley was empty.
late……
"Brother Liu, who died?"
Li Yuan sighed in his heart and slowed down his movements.
Liu Bin finished watching the excitement and was about to leave. When he heard Li Yuan ask, he looked around and lowered his voice: "That man is the murderer!"
"???"
Li Yuan's face was full of astonishment.
"That man was a gangster who was suspected of conspiring with Nian Jiu to steal the temple's property. He became so angry that he killed all the masters in the temple, but was severely injured by Master Kongding's White Cloud Palm..."
Liu Zheng shook his head with a sigh on his face. Regardless of whether Li Yuan believed it or not, he believed it himself:
"What a shame. Although this person has been executed, he has been at large since that year..."
"..."
Is that how you play?
Li Yuan was speechless, but he could only echo: "That year, Jiu Tai was hateful, I don't know..."
"There is nothing the government can do about this matter."
Liu Zheng sighed:
"More than half a year ago, after Nian Jiu committed a murder, my father sent a letter to the city. The government also said that people from Zhenwu Hall came back to help, but
It’s been half a year and I haven’t seen anyone..."
Zhenwu Hall?
Looking at the empty alley, Li Yuan put down the cart.
The Zhenwu Hall was established at the beginning of the founding of the Universiade Court. It was composed of elite masters from many sects selected by Taizu Pang Wenlong.
A violent agency that integrates assassinations, assaults, intelligence, beheadings, etc., it has a great reputation, and he has heard of it.
"Are the people from Zhenwu Hall here?"
Li Yuan asked.
He was very curious about this violent organization that claimed to bring together the elites of sects from all over the world.
But there is also some skepticism.
He didn't believe that a prince like Shenbinggu would send his elite disciples to serve in the imperial court...
"No."
Liu Zheng yawned. He had just come out of Chunfeng Tower. He was so sleepy at this time that he waved his hands and prepared to go home and sleep.
Li Yuan asked further:
"Brother Liu, how will the murderer be dealt with?"
"The murderer didn't..."
Liu Zheng felt sleepy and almost didn't react:
"Oh, you're talking about that gangster? He's already dead. He'll probably be recorded and thrown into a mass grave in two days, so that wild dogs can eat him. It'll give him an advantage!"
"A mass grave?"
After watching Liu Zheng go away, Li Yuan glanced at the lifeless Thousand Eyes Bodhisattva Temple, turned around and left.
"Could the ones who killed these monks be from the Divine Weapon Valley?"
On the way back, Li Yuan thought about it, and he thought it was very possible.
"So, last night, the first person to touch the Bodhisattva Temple was Li Ba? After he escaped with serious injuries, Yu Zhen and Wang Ding joined in. I was the third group, and after that, there were masters from the Divine Weapon Valley?"
"Then who is this Li Ba? What does he want to do? He can't be from Zhenwu Hall if he is so useless, right?"
"Wang Ding and the others are going to the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple. What are they going to do?"
chaos!
Li Yuan felt confused just thinking about it, so he was too lazy to think about it. He walked a few streets and came to Four Seasons Medicine Hall again.
He really didn't dare to touch and eat the medicine on Yu Zhen's body.
He planned to come here to recognize the elixirs again, and buy a few antidote pills for the little field mouse.
"Here are two bottles of detoxifying pills, a few pills for all kinds of poisons!"
…
…
The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple was filled with gloom and the smell of blood seemed to linger for a long time.
"It was Mr. Han who did it!"
Taking a look at the sunken bluestone floor in the front yard, Fang Yunxiu almost didn't have to guess. She had only seen Han Chuijun act so cruelly.
Normal people, no matter how vicious they are, would never kill a dog...
"The Valley Master also said that Mr. Han has been cultivating his moral character for many years and no longer likes to fight with others. I was almost deceived..."
Looking at the traces all over the temple and courtyard, Fang Yunxiu's eyes twitched and she turned around but found nothing. When she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back.
"I remember that there seemed to be an incense burner in front of the main hall?"
After frowning and looking, Fang Yunxiu turned and left. She was very fast and within a short time, she had returned to Lu Mansion.
"Auntie, where have you been?"
In the backyard of Lu Mansion, Lu Bailing was sweating like rain. When he saw Fang Yunxiu with a heavy face, he hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Where's your father?"
"ah?"
Her tone was cold. Lu Bailing was startled and quickly replied:
"Father, he was not at home last night. He should be at the Bodhisattva Temple, right? He often spends the night discussing Taoism with Master Kongding..."
"He was at the Bodhisattva Temple last night?"
After looking at Lu Bailing expressionlessly, Fang Yunxiu turned and left.
