My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master
Chapter 201: Ximen Jian’s fantasy girl finally gets into trouble
After the wedding ceremony in Ximen Mansion, Ximen Rou accepted Li Ling'er's invitation and moved into Hidden Sword Villa so that he could learn martial arts from Li Ling'er conveniently.
Ximen Rou is not a novice in martial arts with no foundation. She was born into a martial arts family, so how could she not know anything about martial arts?
It's just that since she was a child, she has only practiced one internal skill passed down by her family, and practiced some boxing and kicking skills to strengthen her body. However, the Ximen family's unique skills have not been passed down.
Because the secret skill of the Ximen family is the "Moon Sword Technique in the Well". This sword technique can be used to open and close the sword in a powerful and domineering way.
The weapon Jing Zhongyue is a heavy-duty machete with a thick back and wide body, weighing fifty-eight kilograms. It is not something that a weak woman like Ximen Rou can control.
But after all, she already has a certain foundation in martial arts, so she doesn't need to be like a newbie in martial arts. She can start from basic martial arts and learn the Phantom Sword Technique directly.
There is no need to rush to teach her internal skills. When she joins the Feixian Sect, she will be taught the Ming Jade Skills. It is not appropriate for Li Ling'er to teach her on her behalf.
Now that Ximen Rou has moved into Hidden Sword Villa, how could Hanamichi, the number one dog licker, not follow him?
Li Ling'er and others did not reject this elder brother who was a third-generation disciple of the Feixian Sect. They just let him go as he pleased, and there was no need for him to avoid him even when practicing.
If he really had that ability and could learn the Phantom Sword Technique just by watching, then his qualifications and understanding would be indispensable, and it would not be impossible for him to be specially recruited into Renyi Villa.
Ximen's family and Jiang's family have their own courtyards in Zangjian Villa. It can also be said that Zangjian Villa is also her home, so Hanamichi lives in Ximen's courtyard.
In addition to Ximen Rou, Jiang Feng also lived in Hidden Sword Villa. Li Mubai taught him the Hunyuan Qi, and then followed Tang Xiaoqian every day to practice the Four Seasons Sword Techniques.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and until New Year's Eve, there was no movement from Fan Ji. Zhu Youtang and Li Ling'er had to go back to Beijing first and wait until after the New Year.
Because on New Year's Eve, he and Li Linger must attend the celebration held by the court.
With Li Mubai here watching over him, Zhu Youtang felt relieved.
However, on New Year's Eve, when Zhu Youtang held a banquet for the ministers in the palace, Fan Ji, who had been silent for nearly half a month, finally started to cause trouble.
……
Li Ling'er and Zhu Youtang have already gone home. Naturally, Ximen Rou will also go back to Ximen's house on New Year's Eve to have a family reunion dinner.
Just when she returned home early in the morning with her flower arrangement, she discovered that someone had died at home.
Ximen Jian's second concubine was found dead naked in the woods behind Ximen Mansion. Her death was so horrifying that it is difficult to describe in words.
Ximen Rou looked at Er Niang's body in shock, vaguely thinking of something in her heart.
The old housekeeper said to Ximen Jian: "Sir, my second wife died so horribly, should I report her to the official?"
Ximen Jian glared and shouted: "What's the use of reporting to the official? We are a martial arts family. After reporting to the official, the government still has to hand it over to Renyi Villa for investigation."
"I am also a member of the martial arts world. Is my Ximen family so bad? In this town, I am an official."
The old housekeeper stepped back obediently, not daring to say any more.
Ximen Rou stepped forward and said seriously: "Dad, Er Niang's death is very suspicious. It might be related to the demon sect's enchantress Fan Ji. I think it's better to ask Uncle Lu or Brother Yun to come and have a look."
"Well..."
Ximen Jian touched his bald head and seemed to be moved.
Lu Ying, the person in charge of the Jiangnan headquarters of Renyi Villa, "Jian Dan Qin Xin", he is very convinced of both his martial arts skills and his character.
Yun Feiyang was able to dig out the identity of the Plum Blossom Bandits and eradicate the entire Plum Blossom Bandits group when the entire Ming Dynasty had no clue. Needless to say, his investigative skills were outstanding.
The most important thing is that now that Ximen Rou has a relationship with the Dragon and Phoenix Heroes, he is destined to be a disciple of the Feixian Sect. His status in the world has skyrocketed, his background has become deeper than that of the entire Ximen family, and his right to speak in the Ximen family has naturally increased.
So what Ximen Rou said now, Ximen Jian also needs to take it seriously and consider it. He can no longer just treat her as a daughter who can be disciplined as he did before.
Just when Ximen Jian was about to agree, Li Xiaocui suddenly said timidly: "Dad, last night I saw Er Niang carrying a bag of things and going out with two men. I saw them sneaking around and didn't know where they were going. .”
Ximen Jian's expression changed, and he shouted angrily: "Is there such a thing? Laifu, go to Er Niang's room and see if her belongings are still there."
"Yes." The old housekeeper responded and ran quickly to the backyard.
Ximenrou looked at Li Xiaocui, who looked weak, delicate and timid, like a frustrated little daughter-in-law, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
Ximen Jian said to Ximen Judao with a stern face: "Daughter, if the second mother really doesn't abide by women's ethics, we shouldn't alert others about this matter. Otherwise, how can I lose my face?"
Ximenrou frowned, not commenting on what his father said.
Although she had no relationship with her father's concubines, who were only a few years older than her, they were still members of the Ximen family, and there was no way she would let them die in such an unknown manner.
Not long after, the old housekeeper came back and said to Ximen Jian: "Master, the gold and silver in Er Niang's room are soft and soft, and all the jewelry is gone."
Ximen Jian snorted heavily, pointed at Er Niang's body and said: "The matter is very clear. This stinky woman stole a man and wanted to elope with him. Who knew that she wanted money but not others, so he killed her and took away the property. "
Ximen Rou said: "But Er Niang has no clothes on her body and is bleeding from all her orifices. How can we explain this?"
Ximen Jian pondered for a moment, then said decisively: "It's probably because those two guys didn't share the spoils equally, or they thought the money was too little, so they humiliated her in every possible way and tortured her to death."
"In short, the family scandal should not be made public. We will investigate this matter ourselves and we must not alert Renyi Villa. Otherwise, how can I hang out in the world in the future?"
Ximen Rou naturally disagrees with Ximen Jian's seemingly logical but in fact nonsense speculation, because she knows something that Ximen Jian doesn't know.
So she said in a deep voice: "It's not that simple. We must investigate it carefully."
Ximen Jian gritted his teeth in approval and said, "Yes, I must find out, to see which bastard dared to seduce my Ximen Jian woman, huh."
After saying that, he rolled his sleeves and walked to the backyard, saying: "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me. Laifu, find a place to bury her."
"Yes, sir."
Li Xiaocui glanced at Ximen Rou who was deep in thought calmly, then lowered her eyelids and walked to the backyard.
Everyone present except Hanamichi didn't know that the reason why Ximenrou came back so late after school holidays was because she and Hanamichi took the train to the north.
Due to an accident, Hanamichi's descendants were seriously injured by her, so badly that they could only be cut off and entered the palace.
I learned from a professor at the school that only the extremely optimistic Ji Le Taoist could cure an injury like Hanamichi's.
When she took Hanadao to Taoist Ji Le for healing, she happened to meet Fan Ji who was trying to seize the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
Fortunately, Tie Zhongtang was chasing closely and was extremely optimistic when he arrived in time, so she and Hanadao were not killed. Therefore, Ximen Rou had actually met Tie Zhongtang.
At that time, for some unknown reason, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra was torn in half. One half was taken away by Fan Ji, while the other half was picked up by Ximen Rou, and Hanadao asked her to hide it. Because in his opinion, a treasure book that even female devils like Fan Ji flock to must be a peerless secret book.
He himself doesn't know martial arts, so it's useless to come here, but Ximen Rou is good at martial arts, and if he stays, he might be able to develop a unique martial arts.
Therefore, Ximen Rou has seen descriptions of situations similar to Er Niang’s in the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
Therefore, she had enough reason to suspect that Er Niang was harmed by Fan Ji.
Li Xiaocui's words just now seemed to deliberately prevent her from recruiting foreign aid, which naturally aroused Ximenrou's suspicion even more.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with Li Xiaocui's response. If Ximen Rouyu hadn't been in possession of the Heart Sutra and knew some inside information, she would not have suspected Li Xiaocui at all.
Just when everyone dispersed and the old housekeeper ordered his servants to carry Er Niang's body away, Sanniang suddenly walked up to Ximen Rou.
After Ximen Jian, Li Xiaocui and others disappeared behind the Moon Gate, they whispered into Ximen Rou's ear: "Ah Rou, the night before yesterday, because the master has never knocked on our gong since Xiao Cui entered the door, he secretly Go to the master’s room to check.”
"Unexpectedly, she discovered that Xiaocui was actually in bed with the master... She told me about it, but something happened to her last night."
Ximen Rouhua's face turned pale and she asked in shock: "Is there such a thing?"
Ximen Jian had a rule, that is, he would place four gongs every night, with the names of Ximen Rou's deceased mother and three concubines written on each gong.
When he decided whose room he would spend the night in, he would ask the old housekeeper to ring which gong.
And when he wants to rest alone and does not want to have a concubine, he will beat the gong of his dead wife.
As a result, ever since Li Xiaocui married into Ximen's family, for more than ten days in a row, Ximen Jian only knocked on the gong of his head wife.
This situation is obviously abnormal for Ximen Jian, a lustful ghost, so it arouses Er Niang's suspicion.
Ximen Rou quickly calmed down, and after thinking for a moment, she said decisively: "No, this matter is quite fishy. I'm afraid it's not something we can handle. Sanniang, can you drive?"
Sanniang nodded and said, "Yes."
Ximen Judo: "Okay, you drive us to Hidden Sword Villa and ask Brother Yun for help."
"no problem."
……
Hidden Sword Villa.
After listening to Ximen Rou's words, Li Mubai asked doubtfully: "Why do you suspect that Er Niang was harmed by Fan Ji?"
Ximen Rou only hesitated for a moment, then said calmly: "To be honest, Brother Yun, Huadao and I were extremely optimistic. At that time..."
"I picked up half of the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra. The death of Er Niang was the same as described in the Heart Sutra."
Li Mubai's heart moved and he asked Ximen Judao: "Can you give me half of the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra?"
Ximen Judo: "I didn't bring the Heart Sutra with me. I left it at home."
Li Mubai nodded and said, "Okay, you go back now to find out where Er Niang is buried. I'll wait for you outside the house, and we'll do the autopsy first."
"We will make next plans after we determine the cause of Er Niang's death. If she was really killed by Fan Ji, we will focus on investigating Xiaocui to see if she is a human or a demon."
Although Li Xiaocui is very suspicious, so far it has been Ximen Rou's speculation, and there is no substantial evidence pointing to Li Xiaocui.
She subconsciously prevented Ximen Rou from finding foreign aid. It may also be that she did not want to expose the scandal of her affair with her father-in-law. It does not directly mean that she was the one who killed Er Niang.
But there is no doubt that she is now the number one suspect. After all, with her appearance, she does not look like someone who could be raised in a poor family.
The appearance and facial features may be natural, but the appearance and skin of an ordinary peasant girl are definitely not the same as those of a rich girl.
They didn't think about this at all before. After all, they couldn't just look for problems in others for no reason.
But now that something like this has happened, Li Mubai will naturally carefully recall the details that they unconsciously ignored.
After hearing Li Mubai's arrangements, Ximen Rou said happily: "No problem, with Brother Yun making the decision, our pressure will be reduced all of a sudden."
Li Mubai smiled lightly and said, "Let's go back to Qianmen Town first."
……
Because there was a death in the house, Ximen Jian was not in the mood to hold any New Year's activities, so he immediately sent his followers to the town to investigate the situation. The main clue was the lost property of the second mother.
Ximen Rou and others returned to Ximen Mansion without disturbing anyone. They privately asked the old housekeeper where Er Niang was buried, and then went out again.
Meeting with Li Mubai outside the mansion, we walked towards the back hill where Er Niang was buried. We soon arrived at the place, where a newly piled grave stood alone, looking particularly desolate.
Because Ximen Jian believed that she was a thief and was killed, Er Niang's fate was extremely miserable.
Not only was he tortured to death during his lifetime, but he was not even given a coffin after his death. He just dug a hole with a straw mat and buried it directly.
Li Mubai pushed out the grave bag with his palm, and the entire grave bag was flattened. Then Hanamichi shoveled down with a shovel and dug out Erniang's body.
Li Mubai held the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra that Ximen Rou had just given to him in his hand, and examined Er Niang's body in detail.
After a moment, he straightened up and said: "That's right, the way she died was the same as what is written in the Jade Girl Heart Sutra. She was indeed killed by Fan Ji."
After saying that, he walked to the mound of soil that had been pushed away before, and pushed out with another palm. The mound of soil covered Er Niang's body again.
Sanniang said with some fear: "What should we do now? If Xiaocui is really Fan Ji, wouldn't we be in danger?"
Li Mubai said to her: "Don't worry, since I know about this matter, I won't let her harm anyone under my nose."
Ximen Rou frowned and said: "But we don't have any evidence now, so we can't just kill her indiscriminately, right? What if we make a mistake and she is not Fan Ji?"
Li Mubai paced and thought secretly, and after a moment he said to Ximen Judao: "Let's assume that Xiao Cui is Fan Ji. If we want to expose her true identity, we must ask your father to cooperate with me in a play."
"If she is not, then performing this scene will have no impact on your father. As for your family affairs, I, an outsider, can't take care of it."
"After all, this kind of thing will not be prosecuted if the people do not report it. As for whether to report your father, it is up to you." (End of Chapter)
