Meng Qi let out a few breaths slowly to calm down his emotions. Since he had expected it, he was not overly shocked, but felt that the matter was becoming more and more confusing. He didn't know who was telling the truth, who was lying, and what Which are the truth and which are lies.
This was not a good time to sort out clues and words. Meng Qi carefully observed his surroundings, and opened the door and walked in after confirming that there was no ambush.
There were nine corpses in the house, besides Han Shi, Wu Cheng and two attendants, there were four other people, all dressed in rags, like coolies on the pier.
After carefully inspecting the wounds, Meng Qi found that the nine people were all fatal in one blow. The wound was on the throat, which belonged to a sword stabbing wound, and there was no trace of fighting in the room.
The martial arts of the person who shot it is really terrifying!
Meng Qi suspected that the murderer was the black shadow last night. He was good at using swords, he could break through his own golden bell shield defense, and he also had amazing skills to affect other people's senses. It was not difficult to achieve this effect when Han Shi and others were caught off guard. If he hadn't been sure to kill him within two or three swords and had to worry about the rainstorm, he might be killed secretly.
However, this is just Meng Qi's guess, and he cannot be sure that it is that dark shadow.
He looked back and forth, and suddenly frowned, because he found that the expressions of Han Shi and the others were quite strange. They were not frightened or stunned, but lowered their eyebrows, showing a sense of respect and relief.
"Could it be the high-level officials of Snow God Palace? But why did he silence it?" Meng Qi thought suspiciously.
After confirming that there were no traces worth paying attention to in the entire courtyard except the tunnel leading to the "South-North Link" shop, Meng Qi quietly exited the place, changed directions constantly, made a big circle, and returned to the vicinity of Youfu. Observe the movement inside, while thinking about the whole thing.
Because there are too many mysteries in it, anyone may lie, Meng Qi kept flashing new ideas, but he didn't have a clear train of thought.
¡¡¡¡
The white-clothed sword god's challenge made the city lord's mansion a bit chaotic, because Cui Xu needed to retreat to "sharpen the sword", so he handed over all the affairs in the mansion to Miss Cui, Cui Jinxiu, as uncles, You Tongguang, Mu Shan, Fei Zhengqing consciously stayed and assisted her in dealing with different things in an orderly manner, gradually calming down the chaotic situation.
Because of this, it was already midnight when You Tongguang returned to his mansion, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and he could not see his fingers.
"Father, has the city lord accepted Luo Qing's challenge?" As soon as he entered the door, his third son You Hongbo greeted him.
You Tongguang nodded slightly: "Fifth brother has been looking forward to the duel at the master level for a long time, and wants to use this to stimulate his own potential and get closer to the illusory boundary between man and god."
He spoke in detail, because You Hongbo was the son he was most satisfied with¡ªthe eldest son You Hongwen was obsessed with poetry and books, and his martial arts skills were poor. He lived in the capital all year round. The second son, You Hongshi, was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he was not yet mature in his 30s or 40s.
Only the youngest son, You Hongbo, has learned his own true martial arts skills and is quite talented in business affairs. Therefore, he has already handed over all the affairs of the Escort Bureau to him. If he does well, the family business will be his in the future.
You Tongguang has never cared about the distinction between elders, younger sons and concubines. He only believes in one thing: in the Jianghu, only talented people live in the family business, otherwise the whole family will die without a place to bury them.
"It's been so many years since there's been a battle at the grandmaster level" You Hongbo sighed with longing.
You Tongguang chuckled: "There are quite a few fights between the masters, but most of them are just clicked, and there are no rumors. Nowadays, such formal duels are indeed rare, but I have confidence in my fifth brother."
He paused and said, "Hongbo, what happened to those escorts?"
You Hongbo didn't dare to look into his father's eyes, and said embarrassingly: "I haven't found it yet, if you let me know which bastard made it, I will definitely tear him apart!"
"Hmph, Mr. You has such a temper. Now is not the time to look for traitors. The darts are the most important thing. If you can't find them, then prepare another batch as soon as possible. If so, hum." You Tongguang said in a rare voice. He lowered his face and taught his son a lesson.
Naturally, You Hongbo didn't dare to contradict his father, so he smiled flatteringly, and accompanied You Tongguang into the inner courtyard and the study together with the housekeeper and others.
You Tongguang habitually went to the study first, so he unlocked the brass lock, pushed the door, creaked, and slowly opened it, but he stopped suddenly, the smile faded from his face, and he looked solemnly into the room.
"Father, what's the matter?" You Hongbo asked in confusion.
You Tongguang said in a deep voice, "Someone has entered the study."
The housekeepers, guards, etc. were panic-stricken, it was their fault!
You Hongbo knows that his father's martial arts are special, and he is good at sensing different breath changes.p; Everyone gasped when they heard this, this kind of provocative behavior, this kind of bold display by a master of art, made them both shocked and yearning.
"The Living God of Wealth is the number one person under the Grand Master, and Shenhou is definitely not his opponent!"
"That's right, he stole the Buddha statue secretly, and left a provocative letter, where will the living God of Wealth put his face? I'm optimistic that after six days, he will fail and return."
"That's right, the Living God of Wealth has extraordinary martial arts skills and has made many friends. Six days later, more than a dozen masters surrounded the white jade Buddha statue. I see how Shenhou stole it!"
"I heard that if the duel of the city lord was not imminent, the Living God of Wealth would have planned to send the white jade Buddha statue to the city lord's mansion. Hehe, at that time Shenhou would have to admit defeat."
"Speaking of which, Shenhou is also insidious, and the timing is just right, leaving the city lord with no time to help."
The guests in the restaurant discussed happily, after all, it is rare in Jianghu that such a big event happens frequently.
Meng Qi was very satisfied with the observation, this is what he wanted! The decisive battle between the sword god in white and City Lord Cui is imminent. If one of the nearby twelve gods is free, they must come to watch the battle to improve their knowledge. At this time, he will leave a letter to create a big commotion. The twelve gods come The man of God will naturally look for Shenhou, so that he can find the hope of completing the side mission.
Of course, this is not safe enough. After eating and drinking, Meng Qi picked up the bamboo hat he bought earlier, put it on his head, and quietly followed behind Cao Manzi who left. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
