Chapter 577 Red Clay
The forest was dark and extremely cold. Wu Dalin saw Qi Ning finally stop, stepped forward a few steps, bowed and said, "Mr. Marquis!"
Qi Ning turned around, the forest was very dark, but Wu Dalin could also see Qi Ning's face clearly. Seeing Qi Ning's face a little embarrassed, he couldn't help asking: "Marty, Deputy Leader Liang said that he had found the trace of the assassin. I wonder where the assassin is now?"
Qi Ning sighed and said, "Captain Wu, the assassin is in front of me now."
Wu Dalin was stunned and looked around. There was no one except Liang Xiong beside him. He frowned and said, "Marty, I don't understand what you mean."
"You really don't understand?" A voice came from Qi Ning's side. Wu Dalin looked over and saw Hu Bowen turning out from the side. At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared around. Wu Dalin's face darkened. He reached his waist and held the hilt of the knife. However, Liang Xiong also took two steps back, grabbed the hilt of the knife in his hand, and stared at Wu Dalin.
Wu Dalin looked around and saw five or six figures of people appearing from around him. He recognized them at a glance. All of them were guards of the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion, and they were Qi Ning's personal followers.
"Mr. Hu, what do you mean?" Wu Dalin said in a deep voice: "Aren't you looking for an assassin?"
Hu Bowen sneered: "Wu Dalin, you are still pretending to behave. Isn't it you who assassinate this official tonight? You are really brave and deposed the public for personal gain. You dare to destroy the mission to propose marriage. Fortunately, the Marquis is very careful, otherwise you will be successful by your traitor."
Liang Xiong said angrily: "Wu Dalin, you are the lackey of the Sima family. You will never forgive you today." He bullied his body, swung his sword and slashed at Wu Dalin. Wu Dalin shook his body, dodged a knife, pulled out the sheath, and pulled the knife to meet it. With a "choking" sound, the two swords attacked, and sparks flew everywhere.
Liang Xiong roared and slashed out again. He took a fierce and sharp and strong move. Wu Dalin took two steps back and said in a deep voice: "Marty, Lord Hu, I'm wronged in his humble position!" Before he finished speaking, Liang Xiong repeatedly used his swords, forcing Wu Dalin to retreat several times.
Hu Bowen stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, Wu Dalin is cruel and ruthless. Everyone should be careful not to let him escape."
Qi Feng and others surrounded him all approached forward. Suddenly, they saw Li Tang bullying in front of him, and they were extremely quick. The big knife in his hand had already appeared. The light of the knife flashed by, and he heard a "Oh" scream. Li Tang's knife actually slashed Liang Xiong's left arrow from behind. Fortunately, Liang Xiong reacted very quickly. When Li Tang saw the blade, he had already noticed something was wrong and tried his best to dodge. Since this was the case, Li Tang still slashed heavily on his shoulder.
He turned over and staggered. Wu Dalin had already retreated and advanced, and reached out to his sword. Liang Xiong's face was full of horror. He slapped his feet and fell backwards. He wanted to get up. Wu Dalin's knife tip was pressed against his neck and said coldly: "Move it again and take your life immediately."
This change was extremely abrupt. Hu Bowen's face suddenly changed and he said in a lost voice: "Mr. Marquis!"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Don't panic, Lord Hu, we are going to catch the assassin. Now the assassin has been captured."
"Mr. Marquis!" Liang Xiong had a calm face, and was pointed at Wu Dalin's throat, but he was not afraid. He said in a deep voice: "I don't understand what you mean? You are here to design and cooperate with Wu Dalin to kill Wu Dalin. What's the situation now?"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Liang Xiong, you are also a smart person. Do you really don't understand what this marquis means?" He turned to Hu Bowen and smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, why not explain it."
Hu Bowen frowned and said, "Marty, the lower officials don't understand what you mean. Wu Dalin is an assassin, but why did he attack Deputy Leader Liang?"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "The assassin who assassinated Lord Hu tonight can be Wu Dalin, of course, he can also be Deputy Leader Liang, or even anyone, right?"
Hu Bowen looked confused and shook his head, "Mr. Marquis said this very strange. The official said that the assassin is sure that it is undoubtedly Wu Dalin. How could it be Deputy Leader Liang or someone else?"
"Mr. Marquis, Bei Zhi is loyal and will follow your instructions tonight to kill Wu Dalin." Liang Xiong sneered: "But Marquis treats Bei Zhi like this, it is really heartbreaking. Bei Zhi is not afraid of death, but even if he dies like this, he will be unable to rest in peace even if he becomes a ghost."
Qi Ning sighed: "At this point, does Vice Leader Liang still want to admit it? Don't tell me that the three killed Yulin brothers have nothing to do with you."
"It has something to do with me?" Liang Xiong suddenly laughed: "The Marquis' joke is not funny."
Qi Feng also walked forward and sneered: "Liang Xiong, the three guards who were killed were pierced through the throat by an extremely strange weapon. When they were examined, they would think that the three guards were killed on the front. In fact, this was not the case. Before burying, I carefully examined the wound. In fact, the three of them were killed from behind. The weapon was transmitted from the back of the neck and came out of the throat."
Liang Xiong was stunned and sneered: "So what? Does the three of them have been attacked from behind and prove that they have something to do with me?"
"It can be confirmed that when the three were killed, there was no response. Even at the moment of death, I didn't know that anyone would attack them." Qi Feng said: "The three of them were all sneak attacked from behind, but I have paid close attention to the post. The arrangement of Team Leader Wu was that the three of them formed horns and maintained a certain distance between each other. If any person had any condition, the others could immediately discover it."
Wu Dalin nodded and said, "This is also many years of experience. This arrangement can ensure that even if you encounter strong enemies, you will not be unable to remind each other."
"But at the scene, when the three were killed, they obviously gathered together." Qi Feng said: "In other words, in order to kill these three people in an instant, and not to alarm the others in the village, some people gathered these three people in advance."
"The setting up a laid-off post is of great importance. Except for Bei Zhi and Liang Xiong, no one can transfer the three guards from their posts." Wu Dalin said in a deep voice.
Qi Feng said: "So someone must have called these three people together deliberately at that time and gave others a chance to take action. If nothing unexpected happens, there were at least two murderers at the scene. One was specifically attracted the attention of the three people, and the other was sneak attacking from behind."
Liang Xiong sneered: "Even so, it cannot be proved that I was the one who started. Wu Dalin's suspicion is much greater than that of me."
Qi Ning carried his hands on his back and said slowly, "When the incident happened, I was sure that the murderer must be one of you and Wu Dalin." Looking at Hu Bowen, he smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, do you still remember that I told you that the three people were killed just because they probably saw something they shouldn't have seen. Some people were worried that they would leak the news, so they killed them with the purpose of killing people to silence them."
Hu Bowen nodded and said, "The Marquis said that it is just that the Marquis can guarantee that Liang Xiong is definitely not the murderer. When the Marquis was assassinated, Liang Xiong was in the main hall, and he rushed into the room as soon as possible. At that time, the assassin had just climbed out of the window. Even if the Marquis was wrong, the assassin was not Wu Dalin, it would never be Liang Xiong!"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "If it weren't for the assassination incident on Lord Hu, I wouldn't be sure that Liang Xiong was the real murderer."
Hu Bowen frowned, and Qi Ning said, "Mr. Hu, was there really someone going into the house to assassinate?"
Hu Bowen was stunned, then changed his color and said, "Mr. Marquis, what do you mean? Do you suspect that the lower official will lie?"
Qi Ning sighed: "Mr. Hu, you are right this time. I really suspect that you are lying."
"Marty, you!" Hu Bowen shook his body and sneered: "I understand that the trap you set up is actually to deal with the lower officials. The lower officials asked himself that Qingqing was innocent, but he really didn't know where he offended the marquis."
"Mr. Hu, you are not offending me, but Da Chu, the emperor." Qi Ning said: "Everything is designed by you behind the scenes, and Liang Xiong is just an accomplice."
"Me?" Hu Bowen laughed angrily: "Why is it me?"
"Of course someone told me." Qi Ning smiled.
Hu Bowen's face darkened and he said, "Who is it?"
"It's you!" Qi Ning raised his hand and pointed at Hu Bowen: "Who will tell me the secret behind this except you, Lord Hu?"
"Me?" Hu Bowen only felt it was ridiculous and smiled: "Marty, you are really good at joking."
The rain fell from the gap between the branches and leaves, and everyone present was soaked. Qi Ning let out a breath and said, "Three guards were killed, and everyone rushed to the scene. Lord Hu was unwilling to let the enemy down and appeared in time. Lord Hu, I would like to ask, where were you when the incident happened?"
Hu Bowen also raised his hands behind his back and said lightly: "After the team entered the village, I was always in the house. I knew someone had notified someone to die, so I hurried to the scene."
"But the fact that Lord Hu told me was not the case." Qi Ning said: "When Lord Hu arrived, I guess he had just returned to the house not long ago, and some details had not been discovered and dealt with."
"Details?" Hu Bowen tightened his brows: "What details?"
"Boots!" Qi Ning lowered his head, looked at Hu Bowen's official boots, and said slowly: "When Lord Hu returned to the house, he did not notice the evidence on his boots in time. At that time, Lord Hu's boots were covered with mud. Do you know?"
Hu Bowen was stunned and then laughed strangely: "Mr. Marquis, it was raining heavily at that time, and the road was muddy. The lower officials came out of the house and rushed to the entrance of the village. They were all muddy roads, and the boots were covered with muddy. Is there anything strange? If that is the case, almost everyone's boots were covered with muddy at that time, wouldn't they be suspected?"
Qi Ning shook her head and said, "You still don't understand. At that time, everyone's boots were indeed muddy, but the only one who had red clay on the boots was you, Lord Hu!"—
