Chapter 65. The Fourth Person

In the country of the blue sky, the rain has dried up for a thousand years.

Under the red spring, Ye Xiaoyun cupped his hands on his eyebrows and looked from below: "Wow~"

Not far away, a stern young man stopped and turned his head, urging impatiently: "...Let's go."

"Oh!"

Ye Xiaoyun happily jumped to his side.

The beautiful woman is not satisfied with being by her side, but unfortunately this trip ended without a problem.

Fushan is also considered well-known in southern Xinjiang. Like the Xue family, it is famous in the world because of a few geniuses in the genealogy.

This time the Wang family sent to participate in the pumice meeting, is one of the best young talents in the family, a feather fan is elegant, but it kills people invisible.

People in the rivers and lakes call Wang Ningmo the "Prince Lufan".

This time it was more direct, he died before he had even competed with the leader of the martial arts, and the way of death was different from the previous two.

Shen Mujing, the daughter of the Shen family in Shentoulou, No. 17 in the weapon list, Shen Mujing, the master of the sword, died before going on the stage, and was turned into a walking corpse, and her opponent Xue Luo was manipulated to kill her;

Mu Yuntian, the number one expert in the West Plant, had a corpse fire talisman hidden in his body, and used his skills until the end of the competition, causing him to die in a rape. It was extremely tragic. If Xue Luoqian hadn't escaped in time, he might have been implicated and injured too;

They have a lot in common, they are all Xue Luoqian's opponents, they almost hurt Xue Luoqian, and there is another very important thing, that is: even Nangong Qingshui, a master of the southern border corpse art, can't call them Raw bone opening.

Mu Yuntian is unavoidably out of balance due to the incomplete body, while Shen Mujing is missing a phalanx.

And it was this phalanx that made her dead bones useless.

This missing phalanx is also the phalanx that Xue Luoqian met her by chance in the weapon shop, and later met in a private fight in the school field, when Xue Luoqian sealed the sword and pressed acupuncture points.

The third person died in a better condition than the previous one, but was hanged on a tree in his own courtyard, and his mandible was knocked out.

Similarly, the remaining dead bones are just a pile of useless dead bones.

The Pumice Stone Fair had to be suspended, and Huo Liancheng ordered the opening of the Zhongzhou Temple Fair in advance to fill the time gap.

The accident of the two people was enough to arouse Xue Luoqian's vigilance, so he was not surprised by the death of the third person at all, but after this incident, for twelve hours a day, he almost never left Bei Mingyan.

It's fine during the day, but Bei Mingyan will drive him back at night: "It's just a wall away. Besides, the murderer should attack your next opponent, right?"

The next one is the six-door policeman, Liang Guangyue.

This time the imperial court was also dispatched, people from the six doors, and Jin Yiwei's forces in Ji's family were involved. It is also reported that the emperor even sent several members of Xuedizi to spy on and protect them secretly. This news is not really unknown, but it is enough to see The imperial court attached great importance to this matter.

On Lianchengsi's side, the Jianghu family all contributed.

Xue Luoqian's eyes were deep, and he said, "I can't play with your safety."

"Then you can't just hang on, you'll have to gossip again when someone finds out..."

Xue Luoqian blinked: "Secretly, no one will see you."

Bei Mingyan's heart was pounding, and he pushed him twice again: "...Go, go back..."

If he still doesn't leave, Bei Mingyan put on a straight face: "Will you go? I'll be angry if I don't!"

"...Okay. If there is anything, call me loudly."

Bei Mingyan couldn't help joking, "Is there a mouse?"

"There are mice also called."

His smile caused Bei Mingyan to stare in a daze, and he replied indiscriminately: "En."

Ask the martial arts leader to help him drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants...

That night, he slept inexplicably calmly and soundly.

……

The Zhongzhou Temple Fair is held at the end of each year and lasts for half a month. It is the most common form of temple fair in the Central Plains. During the day, everything goes as usual, and at dusk it gradually becomes lively.

Guessing lantern riddles, storytelling, releasing river lanterns, worshiping gods...

In the past few days preparing for ceremonies and temple fairs, there was no martial arts competition, but Lian Chengsi was even more like facing an enemy, there was no festive atmosphere in the whole place.

Beimingyan falsely heard that the pumice stone would pause, and he felt bad: "Xichang..."

"It doesn't matter. The court forces have already intervened in this matter. No matter how arrogant Xichang is, he will not dare to offend Long Yan."

"Then, how sure are you?"

Xue Luoqian thought for a while: "Ninety percent."

"Don't lie to me."

"Fifty percent."

"How much is it?"

"Ayan, you don't have to worry too much..."

It's not that Xue Luoqian can't tell lies, but he subconsciously doesn't want to lie to Bei Mingyan, so it's somewhat unnatural.

Besides, Bei Mingyan didn't believe it at all, so he would tell the truth at this time.

On the second day of the deadline given by Xichang, Bei Mingyan felt uneasy.

After the third day, early in the morning, this anxiety really became real.

The fourth person died in the pond of Si Pianyuan in Liancheng, not far from where Xue Luoqian and Bei Mingyan lived, and they would pass by when they returned to their residence.

The body was headless, and after the man's body was salvaged, almost everyone guessed his identity without thinking about it.

Liang Guangyue.

It was later confirmed that it was Liang Guangyue, the arrester of Six Doors.

It was said that at night, something happened in Liang Guangyue's room, and several close experts broke into the door immediately, but there was no sign of Captain Liang.

In the hands of many masters, he hijacked Liang Guangyue, who was already strong in martial arts, and killed him, threw his body in a pond, and took his head. This matter was reported to the court, which attracted enough attention.

Liu Yu, governor of the West Factory, took this opportunity to go to Tianting, demanding that everyone involved in this matter be arrested and brought back to the six doors for trial.

It was supposed to be a matter of Jianghu, but Xichang and Liufanmen had already been involved. If the imperial court wanted to intervene, Lianchengsi would not be able to manage it.

All persons, no matter who they were, who had contact with the four dead men in the Pumice Society were arrested.

Among them, the one who received the most attention was Xue Luoqian, the young martial arts leader.

These four people were all his opponents in the past, and Xue Luoqian replaced Xue Luobei in the martial arts competition, the opponent Monk Xunyou is still safe and sound.

He is the most suspected.

Xichang did what he said, and within three days, he couldn't find the murderer who killed Mu Yuntian, so he took the lead.

On the day Xue Luoqian was taken away, it was snowing again in Zhongzhou, and Bei Mingyan was making pickles with him in their yard, and the snowflakes fell profusely on their bodies and hair.

Ji Chaoxing arrived first, and as soon as he entered the door, he was in a hurry, pulled Xue Luoqian and left: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

He looked back and couldn't help but ask, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Xue Luoqian said: "Pickles."

"Put that dirty thing down! Hurry up and go!" Ji Chaoxing waved his hand, pushed him irritably, pushed a few steps, then quickly turned around, picked up the bewildered Bei Mingyan: "Do you take this with you? "

"..."

"..."

Ji Chaoxing nodded: "Take it." He took a closer look at Bei Mingyan, who was wearing a gown and messy hair, obviously just woke up from sleep: "It's too late, let's do it like this."

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wrap something, and handed it to Bei Mingyan: "This is 500 taels of silver and some broken silver, for use on the road."

Bei Mingyan glanced secretly: "Oh..."

He wanted to say that he was so poor that all he had left was money, and he already had a stack of such bank notes in his house.

However, he does not wear his money on his body, but deposits it in major banks, and he can just pick it up if he has something to do.

"Chaoxing, what happened..."

"It's too late, you go first, I'll find a way!"

He pushed Bei Mingyan, but the other couldn't.

"Xue Luoqian, why are you in a daze?"

"Are they coming?"

Ji Chaoxing was startled: "Yes, the person from the Six Doors."

"Six doors?" Bei Mingyan said, "Isn't it Xichang?"

If it’s not the West Factory, at least Six Doors will be reasonable.

Ji Chaoxing sneered: "Xichang is the best at killing people with a knife, so there's no need to come here."

"The people from the Six Doors died in the Liancheng Division. It's reasonable for them to come to pick them up," Xue Luoqian said while continuing to pickle pickles at the table.

Ji Chaoxing said: "What are you doing? Why don't you leave now?"

Mention?

Bei Mingyan also walked over: "Luo Qian..."

"Don't be afraid," Xue Luoqian smiled at him, and Ji Chaoxing was so angry that he was about to smoke: "Xue Luoqian!"

"I can't leave Ayan behind."

"You take him with you!"

"He will be very tired."

"Then what do you think? Do you think you are traveling in mountains and rivers? If you don't run away, it will be too late!!"

Xue Luoqian frowned indifferently: "Chao Xing, sit down."

"what?!"

"Why run?"

"You still want to fight if you don't run away?" Ji Chaoxing hesitated after finishing speaking, "...It's not impossible, I'll help you!"

Bei Mingyan: "I still don't want to..."

"Shut up first." Ji Chaoxing didn't even look at him, sitting beside Xue Luoqian: "Tell me, what's the plan?"

"First, before they arrive..."

"Um!"

"Marinate this pickle."

"..."

Ji Chaoxing thought he heard it wrong, or he hoped he heard it wrong: "What did you say?"

"Xue Luoqian looked serious: "Otherwise it will be broken. "

"Is there...?"

"Yes," Xue Luoqian stopped what he was doing, and looked up at him seriously. Ji Chaoxing listened with some hope.

"Take care of Ayan."

"Gone?"

"Thank you."

"Thank you for taking care of him?"

Xue Luoqian gestured to the package in Bei Mingyan's arms: "Thank you for thinking about us."

Ji Chaoxing snorted, "Thank you so much, get out now."

Xue Luoqian shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid the mastermind behind the scenes would be happy to see me run away with my head in my arms, or this is his purpose. If that's the case, why don't you try the prison meal."

"you!"

He was angry and anxious, looking at one pickling pickles in peace and contentment, and the other standing like a foolish hat, stomping his feet:

"Too lazy to care about you!"

"Luo Qian, you..."

Xue Luoqian showed him the pickles, and said in a gentle tone, "It's fine, but Ayan has to wait for me for a while."

"how long??"

"Soon, I promise."

During the Pumice Fair, at the Zhongzhou Temple Fair, Xue Luoqian was taken away by people from the Six Gates, and put in the prison of the Six Gates, awaiting trial.
