Domineering

Chapter 157 Similar
When Shangguan Shenhao, the patriarch of the Shangguan family, rushed to the Zuihualou Songzhu Pavilion, it had already been burned to a white ground.

Except for some unburnt green bricks, there is nothing left.

At this time, the proprietor of Zuihualou, Wei Shenzhou, Cao Xuan of Jinyiwei Qianhu, and Li Guangyu, chief arrester of the six gates of Xiushui County, have all rushed here before him.

"There's nothing left here."

County Lieutenant Shen Zhou looked back at Shangguan Shenhao: "All the corpses were burned to ashes in a very short period of time, and there were no clues at the scene. However, your son and two of my family's sixth-rank worship martial arts should have died .”

Then he turned towards Shangguan Shenhao, a young man in a silver-white battle armor clasped his fists: "Could it be that the loyal general, Mr. Chu, is in front of you? Shen is being polite."

Behind Shangguan Shenhao, Chu Xuanjie also clasped his fists in response: "Master Shen!"

He looked around intently, his eyes full of inquiry.

Chu Xuanjie came to Xiushui two days ago.

He stayed in Linhai County for more than a month, but failed to investigate the case of Chu Zhengyang being attacked and killed, so he had to give up temporarily and transferred to Xiushui County to visit friends.

Unexpectedly, only two days later, the Shangguan family's son-in-law and dozens of entourages were killed in such a tragedy.

Shangguan Shenhao's complexion was blue, and he walked to a wall, looking at the dark brown marks on it.

This is the master room of the Songzhu Pavilion, and the blood on it must have belonged to Shangguan Longjian.

"It's not that there are no clues at all."

Qianhu Cao Xuan put his hands behind his back, thoughtfully: "All the gold and silver here have been taken away, and all the corpses have been destroyed. There are not many traces of battle at the scene. At that time, the six seventh-rank and two No. [-] ranks were all killed by one blow. According to the confessions of the people in Zuihua Loulou, they didn't even make a sound.

This reminds me of the Longjia Warehouse case a few months ago. The two cases have a little similarity.The battles were all resolved within a very short period of time, the gold, silver and magic weapons were all taken away, and the bodies were all destroyed afterwards.Of course, all of this could be a coincidence, this time the murderer did not use corpse water, nor did he have the inscription of Bloodwind Bandit. "

Chu Xuanjie's expression changed when he heard the words.

In Xiushui County, there are also people who use corpse water to destroy corpses?

It is very common to use corpse water to destroy corpses in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know what its formula is?
Chu Xuanjie had heard of the Long family in Xiushui County.

This is a newly rising local wealthy family, and its strength is not weak.

Long's warehouse must have at least one martial artist under the sixth rank sitting in charge.

This assailant, who can kill a martial artist of the sixth rank and lower rank in an instant, is also capable of killing his brother Chu Zhengyang.

Chu Xuanjie couldn't help squinting his eyes, thinking that he could ask Li Guangyu for a file of the Long's Warehouse case later, to see what happened.

Li Guangyu, chief arrester of the Six Doors, picked up a lump of iron from the corner of the wall that had penetrated into the cracks in the floor tiles.

"These pieces of iron are made by melting the arrows of the locust crossbow into the iron juice, infiltrating into the floor tiles and cooling down. And here, they are caused by the melting of swords and hammers. They are made of different materials. I looked around , deduced that the murderer who killed Mr. Shangguan was between the seventh and eighth rank."

Cao Xuan couldn't help squinting his eyes: "That is to say, there are two murderers this time? No, there may also be three people for this technique of burning swords into molten iron."

Shangguan Shenhao listened quietly until Cao Xuan and Li Guangyu couldn't say anything more, so he clasped his fists at them: "Thank you for your hard work, the case of the dog's death, please do your best. Wait for the truth of this case to come to light." , I will set up a banquet with wine to reward the two of you."

In the case of Shangguan Longjian's death, he certainly wouldn't just rely on Six Doors and Jin Yiwei.The Shangguan family must try their best to find the murderer in order to wash away this shame.

Shangguan Shenhao clasped his fists at the county lieutenant Shen Zhou again: "I am in a hurry, and the county lieutenant forgive me!"

Then he led a group of people and walked out like dragons and tigers.

"Notice, block the ancient market tonight, and search the whole town for suspicious people! Find out as soon as possible how many fifth grades and fourth grades there are on the ground in Xiushui County. Also, go and invite Tieguan Sanren from Yunsong Temple in Xishan to come, his That natal spirit beast is good at tracking—”

Shangguan Shenhao was instructing several of his trusted family generals, but found a figure kneeling in front of him.

"You are, Shangguanyuan?"

Shangguan Shenhao's long and narrow willow eyes narrowed slightly, then he put his hands behind his back and walked in front of Shangguan Yuan expressionlessly: "Your master is dead, why didn't you go to accompany him?"

Shangguanyuan's forehead suddenly burst into cold sweat: "Patriarch! At the moment when the incident happened, the villain was planning to kill Chu Xisheng in Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall for the young master, and he was not in Songzhu Hall."

"Chu Xisheng from Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall?"

Shangguan Shenhao pondered for a while: "Is it the newly promoted Qingyun Tianjiao? Is it to compete for the chief of the true biography?"

Shangguanyuan kowtowed three times on the ground: "Exactly! Before the incident happened, I had already contacted Baiyun Village and asked them to kill people. At that time, I was ordering by the young master to withdraw money from the account and pay the deposit."

Chu Xuanjie followed behind, and his expression moved slightly when he heard the words.

Chu Xisheng?
This Chu Xisheng was also present at the last ninth-rank secret realm battle.

However, since this son came out of the secret realm, he has been with the Zhou family all the time, and it is impossible to do anything to Chu Zhengyang.

In addition, this person is also Cao Xuan's subordinate, Jin Yiwei's newly promoted vice-hundred household.

Judging from his life experience, he is fairly innocent.

Unexpectedly, this person has something to do with this case of Shangguan's family.

"I've heard of him, a very fine young man."

Shangguan Shenhao's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he chuckled: "In Xiushui County, we haven't had such a high-ranking Qingyun Tianjiao for a long time. But my children are also expected to be Tianjiao, and they have a bright future—"

His cold eyes gradually turned soft: "Since it is the child Long Jian's last wish, then you will be responsible for finishing the matter, and don't let him leave with regrets. He wants Chu Xisheng to die, so let this person die." Go down with him. Quickly!"

Shangguanyuan kowtowed heavily when he heard the words, and made a muffled 'dong'.

At this moment, his back was soaked in cold sweat.

Shangguan knew in his heart that he had temporarily escaped death, but when he raised his head full of luck, Shangguan Shenhao had already left for a long time.

In Shangguan Yuan's eyes, a sharp look appeared.

The so-called 'as soon as possible' means that the sooner the better——

※※※※

Chu Xisheng and the two threw all the magic weapons they brought out in the middle of the Shenxiu River.

The gold and silver were taken by Chu Yunyun, and melted into two balls of silver and gold with flames.

In fact, there is not much gold and silver, the total is only more than two thousand taels.

After all, it was a brothel and they didn't have much cash.

Afterwards, the two of them took a bath in the river, washed off the smell-masking medicine, and changed into clean clothes.

By the time they returned to the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, it was already dawn.

After Chu Yunyun returned, she continued to retreat to refine the true talisman.

December [-]th is the true test, and she has to advance to the eighth rank before this day.

This not only determines her qualifications to enter the Shenbingyuan together with Chu Xisheng, but also has a relationship with the Suanni Lingsha.

Only the more complete the 狻猊 she imagined can attract the 狻猊.

So he didn't even care about the flagpole.

Chu Xisheng went out as if nothing had happened, and went to his disciples to find Hu Lai and Hu Kan brothers.

In the past few days, his martial arts points have risen more and more slowly.

Chu Xisheng thought over and over again, thinking that he could no longer wait passively like this.

At this time, he has almost digested the harvest of the previous ninth-rank secret realm, and only three Lingtian pills that can enhance the power of spiritual thoughts have not been taken yet.

However, his martial arts foundation has been firmly established again.

Now it's time to think of a way to get more martial arts points.
