Chapter 191 Death Summons
Zhao Liu took a few people to look here and there, bought a few strange medicines, and after a while they went to the North District.
This area is the most chaotic, with almost all kinds of messy things being sold. For example, a broken sword is promoted as a relic of the master, and you can feel the sword's power when you touch it; another example is a few burnt sheepskin atlases, which are said to be the treasures of Huangchao.
Pictures hide inconceivable secrets of wealth. All these things are quite a test of one’s wisdom, experience and eyesight.
Whether you say it's luck or a family's fault, one or two miracles happen here every day. Just yesterday, after a gilt-bronze Buddha changed its owner, the new owner discovered that there was a rare book of swordsmanship hidden inside the statue. As a result
As the news spread, the prices of all bronze statues, Buddha statues, clay sculptures, and wood carvings immediately jumped one to three times.
There are more people coming to try their luck today. Everyone is red-eyed, carefully identifying what they like. Some are hesitant, some are spending a lot of money, some are beating their chests, some are sighing, and some are interested in something at the same time.
They rolled up their sleeves and argued loudly, making their faces turn red.
It is commonplace for people in the world to argue with each other.
As soon as Zhao Liu, Fu Jingtao and others entered the North District, they saw the two of them arguing like cockfighting. It turned out that Lin Xiaohong from Qiankun Hall was arguing with a down-and-out man in his thirties with a shaggy beard. That down-and-out man
The man insisted that the broken sword he was selling was a relic of the master swordsman Hua Shenghai, but Lin Xiaohong believed that the sword was a fake, deliberately made old by a later generation, and was not worth the high price of two thousand taels.
The down-and-out man got angrier and angrier as he talked, waving his hands to drive him away: "You are such a nasty person. If you don't have money, don't stop me from doing business! Just because you are short-sighted, it doesn't mean that others are equally stupid!"
Lin Xiaohong flew into a rage and slammed his palm down, breaking the simple countertop into pieces, and said sternly: "This is Lingyun City, my Xuanyuan Sect's territory. Don't look down on others and seek your own death!"
With a clang, several broken swords fell to the ground.
The down-and-out man was stunned: "Are you a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect?"
Lin Xiaohong crossed her arms and crossed her chest, saying proudly: "Exactly! It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I can't bear to see your deceptive and deceptive tricks! If you are wise, get out of here!"
There were people nearby who were booing, laughing, and spitting indiscriminately.
Zhao Liu frowned slightly and said to Fu Jingtao: "It's a bit too much!" Buying and selling in the treasure appraisal market is all voluntary, regardless of authenticity. Maybe what is worthless in your eyes may be worth a lot in the eyes of others.
Lin Xiaohong relied on his status to bully the other party, which was simply smearing Xuanyuanmen. Fu Jingtao smiled helplessly, it was his turn to intervene in such a thing.
The down-and-out man turned livid with anger. He bent down and picked up the scattered sword, wrapped it in a rag, lowered his head and left.
Lin Xiaohong yelled reluctantly: "This guy is crazy about money. A few pieces of broken iron are priced at sky-high prices. Do you think we are all fools? Everyone, please don't be fooled!"
The down-and-out man slipped into the crowd without saying a word and disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Liu shook his head secretly, and suddenly lost interest in wandering around, so he walked out of the north gate of the market. There were also many tempting pastries and snacks outside the north gate, such as fried dumplings, roasted tits, steamed rice cakes, red bean soup, and golden silk
Pastries, big bowls of tea, etc., business is booming and the fragrance is overflowing.
Zhao Liu couldn't help but twitch his index finger and ate while walking, saying that he was enjoying himself. Hu Feng was still a little reserved, but Fu Jingtao let go and ate. Anyway, someone paid for it, and if you don't eat, you won't get it.
Zhao Liu smiled and scolded: "You kid really don't regard yourself as an outsider. Do you want to make me poor?"
Fu Jingtao's mouth was stuffed with food and he said vaguely: "The emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers! How can the young master care about these two small coins when he is rich in the world?"
Zhao Liu was about to speak when he suddenly heard a burst of exclamation near the gate, followed by someone jumping up and flying towards the mountains in the distance.
"Killing! Killing!" "Hurry and catch him!" "Don't let him get away!"
The chaotic noise became louder and louder, like a mountain falling apart. The crowds were commotion, and countless people rushed towards the scene of the accident. The next moment, sharp whistles cracked the sky, and more than a dozen figures were seen flying from all directions.
Wielding various weapons, they roared angrily and launched a pursuit.
If you dare to kill people in Lingyun City, you will definitely get tired of living!
"Bah!" Fu Jingtao opened his mouth wide, half-bitten roasted tit fell to the ground, and said in a voiceless voice: "It's him!"
Zhao Liu couldn't see clearly from a distance and jumped to his feet: "Who is it? How brave!"
Fu Jingtao said word by word: "It's that down-and-out man who sells broken swords!"
Therefore, the one who was killed must be Lin Xiaohong! It is true that those who humiliate others are wrong, but their mistakes do not lead to death. Lin Xiaohong undoubtedly died an extremely unworthy death. I believe he must have regretted it extremely before he died.
Even though the down-and-out man succeeded in his revenge, and his success was short-lived, where could he escape as an unfamiliar person? Even if he temporarily escaped and hid in the wild mountains and forests, he would be captured and killed sooner or later, and he would probably not survive tonight.
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.
A meaningless battle of emotions resulted in the loss of two lives, and there was no winner.
Lin Xiaohong was a genuine disciple of the inner sect, and now he was assassinated in front of his home. The impact was really bad. Soon, dozens of masters came from the city, divided into six or seven groups, and pulled in the direction where the murderer disappeared.
They chased after him like a net. There were strong men from aristocratic families who came forward to clean up the mess and maintain order.
Zhao Liu, Fu Jingtao and others felt the impermanence of life and the danger of human heart. They lost interest in talking for a while and silently returned along the original road.
After entering the city and walking for more than a hundred steps, I suddenly saw many people gathered around a restaurant on the third and third floors, including many Xuanyuan disciples who were watching the excitement. There were two law enforcement hall disciples guarding the door of the restaurant, their faces as grave as water, and they couldn't tolerate it.
Anyone comes close to spy.
Fu Jingtao asked casually and found out that a murder had just occurred in this "Kehuitou Restaurant"! Hu Liang from Yujiantang was drinking here with his friends. Perhaps he was too excited and got very drunk. The result was as follows
I somehow missed my footing while going to the toilet, fell into the pit and drowned! It was impossible to hide such a bizarre and ridiculous thing. The law enforcement agency immediately cordoned off the restaurant, detained the relevant persons, and launched an investigation on the spot.
Zhao Liu sighed softly: "Did your Xuanyuanmen commit a crime of Tai Sui today? Misfortunes never come singly. I hope there is no third accident."
Fu Jingtao's heart skipped a beat. After Lin Xiaohong and Hu Liang, would there be a third one? Why were all the uncles he knew died? Is this a coincidence? Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in front of his eyes,
He was shaken all over and his hands were sweating coldly.
Lin Xiaohong, Hu Liang, Miao Lei, and Zhao Su all followed Cheng Tong and served as examiners for the Wucheng primary election. More importantly, all four of them shouldered the same responsibility to lead Ye Huayu on their way back.
, Huang Yunpeng and other registered disciples went out to collect firewood! Miao Lei was killed in battle on the night of the attack, Lin Xiaohong was assassinated in revenge, Hu Liang was drunk and drowned, and Zhao Su is the only one left whose death has not been reported.
This is no coincidence.
There is another hidden reason behind Cheng Tong’s death.
Someone among Miao Lei and others must have betrayed Xuanyuan Sect's interests, communicated with outsiders, killed Cheng Tong, and indirectly harmed Ye Huayu.
In order to cover up the truth and prevent secrets from leaking, the mastermind behind the scenes tried to silence all four people. As a result, all four people were suspected of being collaborators, and it was unclear who was innocent. Even if the law enforcement agency pursued it, it would be difficult to identify the suspects.
, thankless.
If his guess is correct, then Zhao Suding will face a murderous disaster!
