Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Lu Cheng mentioned that the same murder happened yesterday, so everyone asked him who died yesterday.

"Escort." Lu Chengdao, "Head of the Four Seas Escort."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned for a moment, then they said in unison, "Kong Sihai?"

Lu Cheng nodded and spread his hands, "So I don't think I need to go back to Sky Island. After the opening ceremony here, it will probably be the turn of tofu rice over there."

Everyone looked at each other.

Bai Yutang frowned, "Kong Sihai is not from the Four Great Schools, but..."

Lu Cheng nodded, "Kong Sihai is Yan Xingming's brother."

Everyone understood, no wonder Yan Xingming had a very unhappy face, he really had something on his mind.

Holding the cup, Zhan Zhao asked Lu Cheng curiously, "Cheng Bo, do you know why those people were hung up when they died? How do people on the street talk about this?"

Lu Cheng was helpless, "To tell the truth, Mr. Zhan, I really inquired about it seriously, but so far no one knows the reasons for these murders. In fact, the news that the four sects started killing people has spread a long time ago, but the news It has been covered all the time. As long as the four sects give orders not to spread the matter of Suzhou Mansion, it is basically difficult to spread it. When I went out, the second master asked me to check it by the way."

Bai Yutang nodded.

"But today's corpse was hung outside!" Lin Yehuo said, "And it's on the tallest building. Does this mean that the murderer doesn't want this matter to be covered?"

"The grievances of the Jianghu sect..." Pang Yu is not from the Jianghu, and asked with his chin in his hand, "Could it be revenge or something?"

"It's possible!" Bao Yan also nodded in agreement, "It would take a lot of time to arrange the dead bodies, right?"

"Not necessarily." Bai Yutang said, "If those filaments are the murder weapon."

"I think so too." Zhan Zhao nodded, said, took a porcelain cup, and asked Chen Xing'er, "Is there any silk thread?"

Chen Xing'er took out a small bundle of silk thread for Zhan Zhao from her sewing kit.

Zhan Zhao pulled a long silk thread, and after wrapping it around the cup a few times, he grabbed two ends of the thread.

Everyone watched his actions.

Zhan Zhao pulled the end of the rope with internal force...then heard a crackling sound, and looked at the surface of the cup, a network of cracks appeared, and it shattered with a light poke.

Lin Yehuo touched his chin, "According to the condition of the corpse, the bones should be shattered, but they don't seem to be so shattered."

Zhan Zhao also nodded and studied with the filament.

"Is the other party good at martial arts?" Pang Yu asked.

"It's not just kung fu." Zhao Pu also pulled a silk thread. "First of all, the silk thread is not very easy to control. It takes so many to trap people at the same time, and then use internal force to shatter the bones of the whole body. This is very difficult..."

"And don't you think it's strenuous?" Lin Yehuo asked, "It's better to smash people's bones with two palms..."

Zhan Zhao also frowned.

Bai Yutang took out the blueprint of the ten golden rings that Tan Shaoyan showed them before, the mysterious man asked him to make, "Where is this tool? Can you take advantage of it?"

Everyone studies.

At this time, I saw Tianzun shaking his head, and Yin Hou also quietly said, "Children know."

Everyone raised their heads to look at the second elder.

Sitting on Tianzun's lap, the fourth son was listening to the adults with his chin resting on his hands. He didn't know if he understood or not, but he listened with gusto anyway.Hearing Tianzun and Yinhou's comments, he looked up at them.

Zhan Zhao and the others also looked at the two elders, what does that mean—what's your opinion?

"Judging from the hanging corpse, it's not that the bones of the whole body are smashed, but only the joints are smashed." Tianzun corrected.

Gongsun also said, "It looks like it is, because if the whole body is smashed, it won't be able to hang on."

Zhan Zhao held his chin, "So, how do we do it?"

Yin Hou pointed to the cup and said, "This bone was not broken by internal force."

Everyone looked at them, "How did it break?"

Tianzun pulled a filament and threw it at a broom placed at the door of the cabin.The silk thread was entangled with the long bamboo handle of the broom, and then everyone heard the sound of the bamboo pole being torn and broken... Looking again, the bamboo pole was tightened and deformed by the filament, and finally broke.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and then understood at the same time.

Zhan Zhao nodded, "It wasn't broken by the shock, but strangled! So the corpse was broken at the joint that was strangled by the filaments, while the other parts were intact."

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang and asked him, "A lot of silk threads were wrapped around the corpse just now, but how many places were they caught?"

"Ten places." Bai Yutang and Gongsun said in unison.

Xiao Baoyan also nodded, "Yes! There are knots in ten places, hanging on the plaque."

Zhan Zhao pulled out ten pieces of filament and wrapped them around his fingers, trying to throw all ten filaments out to wrap around a railing, but it didn't go well.

"This is difficult." Lin Yehuo also tried, but also failed.

"Special tools are needed." Yin Hou reached out to pick up the drawing and looked at it for a while, "It seems that this is the murder weapon to manipulate those filaments."

Everyone felt that it was new—they had been dealing with the case for so long, and it was the first time they had encountered such a thing. There was no corpse, no murderer, and only a blueprint of the murder weapon.

"What I'm more curious about is what are the four sects hiding?" Bai Yutang said.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Zou Liang also said, "Paper can't contain the flames, and the incident got worse and worse. Those four families were originally the ones who suffered, but they made it look like they were shameful."

"But if people don't report to the government, the government can't intervene." Zhao Pudao, "The prefect of Suzhou looks like something. The four sects are tough, so they probably won't cooperate."

Tianzun shook his head, "Those people from Jianghu will not cooperate with Kaifeng Mansion. Zhan Zhao is from the Demon Palace. If he forcibly takes over this case, the Central Plains martial arts will definitely become enemies of the Demon Palace again."

Holding the cup, Yin Hou smiled narrowly, "Do they have the guts? I'm not afraid of the Demon Palace."

Heaven respects the sky.

Zhan Zhao waved his hands, "No, the Demon Palace has finally got rid of the turmoil of the world, and can no longer be involved in the disputes between the rivers and lakes!"

"Then how do we check?" Gongsun asked.

"Since it's Jianghu's business, why not investigate this case as Jianghu!" Zhan Zhao smiled slightly.

Bai Yutang also nodded.

Lin Yehuo held his chin and thought for a while, then said, "That's right, are we also considered Jianghu people, huh?"

On the side, Zou Liangliang poured cold water on him, "He is orthodox in the Central Plains, and you are Yeluzi in the Western Regions."

Huofeng got angry and stomped on his foot hard.

Everyone chatted, and the boat entered the ferry of Wuzhuang.

It's almost evening when we disembark.

In the manor, the servant girls were busy coming in and out. Zhan Zhao and the others returned to the room. They had just sat there for a while when someone begged to see him at the door.

When Bai Yutang asked, it turned out to be the stern-faced prefect of Suzhou.

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Probably because he was afraid that his black hair would be lost, so he came here to make amends."

Zhao Pu shook his head straight, "Go back and ask Bao Xiang to take a copy of him! How about this kind of virtue to go home and take care of yourself? What kind of magistrate!"

Everyone invited the prefect of Suzhou in.

The prefect's surname is Wei, and his name is Wei Hengtong.Everyone sighed secretly when they heard the name. They must have chosen this name because they hoped to have a successful official career...but it seems that there is little hope.

Wei Hengtong greeted Zhao Pu and Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao invited him to sit down and drink tea.

Sitting down, Wei Zhifu sighed, saying that it was hard for him to do it. The hundreds of yamen servants in the Yamen of Suzhou Prefecture combined could not beat any few apprentices from the four major sects, let alone compete with those masters.It was also because the transshipment envoy of the Liangzhe Road had soldiers and horses in his hands, and they could take a look at them, but the transshipment envoy, Mr. Huang, resigned, and he was even more isolated and helpless.

Zhan Zhao interrupted him to vomit bitterness, and asked him, "Wei Daren, how many similar murders happened in this Suzhou mansion? Why did we hear so many along the way?"

"Uh..." Wei Heng grinned, "Is this..."

He seemed to be hesitating whether to say it, but seeing Zou Liang who was beside Zhao Pu gave him a cold look, Wei Hengtong gritted his teeth and said, "Well... so far, at least eight people should have died!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Eight people?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "You don't care about it and don't investigate?"

Wei Hengtong spread his hands, "Master Zhan! They refused to report to the officials. The corpses were found by Jianghu people and they were taken away immediately. I have heard people's rumors here. After I hear the news, I will send the police to the police. Going to check, the murder scene is gone... To be honest, I have heard about murders in the past half a month, and I have never seen spider silk hanging corpses! Today is the first day I saw a real corpse!"

"Do you know who the murderer is?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Wei Hengtong shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"Are there any suspects?"

Wei Hengtong then shook his head.

"Why are the corpses arranged like this?"

Wei Hengtong still shook his head.

"What are the four sects hiding?"

I kept shaking my head.

Finally, Zhao Pu couldn't bear it any longer and asked him, "Do you fucking know?"

Wei Hengtong scared Zhao Pu into a fright, and said tremblingly, "Your official, I do know a little bit. I don't know if the clue is useful!"

"Say!" Zou Liang urged him.

"The deceased had some hair cut off." Wei Hengtong replied.

Gongsun was stunned, "Hair?"

Everyone raised their faces and began to recall. They just glanced at it from afar, but they didn't notice how long their hair was.

"It's said that a section of hair about the thickness of a thumb was cut off behind the ear, cut at the root, so it's very obvious." Wei Heng said, "I didn't find out about the rest."

As he said that, he began to talk about how difficult he was, how powerful the Jianghu people were, and so on. Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu hurriedly sent someone to send him away, telling him to report immediately if he had any clues.

After sending the prefect of Suzhou away, everyone wanted to study what to do next.

At this time, Bai Fuxing hurried in from outside, "Fifth Master, Fifth Master! Look who's coming!"

Before Bai Fu finished speaking, Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er also ran in, "Master Zhan! It's so lively outside!"

At the same time, I heard the noise of people outside, as if some large army had entered.

"Hey." Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "Did Ouyang bring someone here?"

It turned out that as soon as Zhao Pu saw the size of Wuzhuang earlier, Zhao Pu asked the shadow guard to inform Ouyang Shaozheng to bring the government servants and soldiers here, so as not to disturb the peaceful life of the old man in the magic palace.

It was just that when everyone ran out to take a look, they were all dumbfounded.

As soon as Zhan Zhao ran into the yard, he heard a large group of childish voices, calling them all, such as "Maomao Zhan Zhan Xiao Miao..."

Everyone checked visually, fifty or sixty dolls who were about the same age as the fourth son all rushed to Zhan Zhao, and the other half rushed to Yinhou and Tianzun.

Tianzun was so startled that he ran away.

Yin Hou stomped his feet, "Who brought all the children here!"

Looking at Zhan Zhao again, he was already surrounded by dolls, dragged him, and rushed him.

It turned out that not only the yamen servants and officers and soldiers came, but also people from the Demon Palace, and the descendants of the Demon Palace who went to the Demon Palace for the New Year and weddings also came, and that group was huge.The carriages outside were still coming in one after another, followed by Bai Fu and everyone from Xingkong Island, Bai Yutang's four brothers and sisters-in-law all came, bringing a group of children, as well as Yingxue Palace and Hongying Village Many people came, Lu Tianhan also brought Lu Ling'er, and some people came to join in the fun in Yecha Palace, and immediately...the whole Wuzhuang was occupied.

Zhao Pu frowned and hooked his fingers at Ouyang Shaozheng.

Ouyang also had no choice but to say, "The Demon Palace said that they have made an agreement with Bai Yutang, so they can all come to Wuzhuang to celebrate the New Year, and it will save so many people from flocking to the Demon Palace to make trouble."

Zhan Zhao thinks it's good to have a lot of people, but this is Bai Yutang's mansion after all, and Bai Yutang is most afraid of noise, so many people drag their families along...

But in a blink of an eye, Bai Yutang smiled and said, "I think this is better. I discussed it with An Yunmo before, and he will send more people to help."

Zhan Zhao understood. After all, the location of the Demon Palace should not be made public. It is really inconvenient for so many people to go there.Although the Demon Palace didn't care, Bai Yutang might have thought of this, so he discussed privately with An Yunmo to gather everyone in a place as big as Wuzhuang to celebrate the New Year together.

Zhan Zhao was naturally happy, climbed out of the pile of children, and directed the children to catch Yinhou and Tianzun by the way.

In the end, Yin Hou and Tianzun did not run away, and were caught by a group of children. Even Yao Yao and Xiao Wu did not escape, and became large toys.

Fortunately, Wuzhuang is really big, divided into four courtyards in the southeast, northwest, and a small courtyard outside, as well as the back mountain and the ferry.

The soldiers and horses were arranged in the back mountain and the ferry, and a large group of relatives, such as the Demon Palace, Sunken Island, Yingxue Palace and Hongying Village, were all arranged in different courtyards. Zhan Zhao and the others lived in the outermost one of the manor. In the small courtyard, Lord Bao and Grand Master Pang all came to study the case.

The Grand Master will go to the mansion of Liangzhe Road Transit Envoy tomorrow to temporarily take over Huang Tong's official duties.

By the time the big family is settled properly, it will be dark.

Tianzun, Yin Hou, Master Wusha, Lu Tianhan, and a large group of old men and women in the Demon Palace brought over a hundred children and set off fireworks on the large flat ground in front of Wuzhuang Gate. All the people in the city ran outside to see it.

At this time, Zhan Zhao and the others were sitting on the roof of Wuzhuang, drinking and watching the fireworks.

Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang next to him, "Speaking of which, I almost don't remember what it's like to be a Jiang Hu person."

Bai Yutang held the wine glass and thought for a while, then replied, "It's the difference between a domestic cat and a wild cat..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to scratch him.
