Xia Chuyi didn't even have time to clean up the mess on the floor, so he took off the homemade coat he was wearing, pulled Chang Huan and hurriedly left the morgue.
As a result, as soon as she took a step forward, she bumped into Feng Luo, who was rushing over. She took a step back and took a look. She didn't even bother to say anything nonsense and said directly to him: "Follow me to the backyard."
The three of them walked together, the wind was blowing under their feet, and the speed was like flying.
The captain of the guard and several guards who were warming themselves around the fire in the yard were still bragging when they suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by. They paused and asked with some confusion: "Did you feel something passing by?
"
The soldiers suddenly laughed: "Yes, it's right behind you, sir. If you don't believe me, just turn around and look."
"Go, go, go." The captain of the guard waved his hand impatiently, then looked around and felt that he was thinking too much.
At this time, Xia Chuyi and the three of them had arrived at the gate of the back house. In addition to the arrangement of open and hidden sentries, she also asked Feng Luo to set up some simple mechanisms, which could be said to be a heavy defense.
However, there was no relaxed expression on her face at all, and she stretched out her hand to call the captain of the guard over.
The captain of the guard saw Xia Chuyi at noon. He immediately came over and respectfully knelt down towards Xia Chuyi, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yushi, what are your orders?"
Xia Chu said: "Leave half of your troops to guard the place, and then allocate the other half to gather all the people in the Wei family together, as fast as possible!"
When the captain of the guard heard this, he immediately received the order and went to supervise the matter.
Xia Chuyi summoned the person in charge of shadows who was responsible for secret surveillance and asked him to give instructions to all the shadows to pay close attention to whether any suspicious persons had sneaked into the back house.
As for the casual cultivators who were invited with money, Xia Chuyi was also extremely polite and asked them to go back after receiving the money from the accounting office.
At this time, there are many people and many hands, and we absolutely cannot leave any more unstable factors around us.
The captain of the guard was also very fast, and he quickly gathered all the people in the Wei family.
In fact, the main reason is that there are not many people left in the Wei family. It won't take much time to call two guards for one person.
There is a quadrangle courtyard in the back house, and there is a fairly large area in the middle. On the first day of Xia Chuyi, someone put a few rows of seats there for the elderly and children to sit.
The captain of the guard was a man who knew how to do things, so he immediately ordered many fire pots to be lit around the courtyard. Not only did the small area of the world shine as bright as day, but it also drove away the cold, allowing the elderly and children to feel warmer.
Xia Chuyi was sitting directly opposite them, holding his head with one hand, his eyes scanning all of them row by row, his expression unsteady, and he said nothing.
There were only some children and old people left at the bottom. The children didn't understand anything. They stared at their surroundings curiously with their big, bright, watery eyes.
The elders, all of whom had experienced bloody battles in their big families, were wondering what they were looking at the battle at the moment.
Seeing that Xia Chuyi had been silent all this time, someone finally couldn't help but speak: "I say, Mr. Yushi, you were sent by His Majesty to protect us, not to treat us as prisoners. Do you do anything like this?"
, what exactly does it mean?”
Xia Chuyi raised his eyes and glanced at the man. He was not annoyed and said with a smile: "I was looking for the next short-lived ghost. Haha, I searched for a long time and couldn't find it. I found it as soon as you spoke."
The old man immediately slumped on his chair and said in a trembling voice: "You... don't talk nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense? See for yourself how many people are left here? If you still want to save some for your Wei family, just be honest!"
Xia Chu always had a smile on her face and rarely showed such a murderous, majestic and cold look.
Not to mention, as soon as her words with hints of anger came out, everyone in the Wei family present immediately became honest, and even the children looked at her timidly.
She couldn't help but raise her forehead - now even the children would definitely think she was a bad person.
Feng Luo asked softly from the side: "What are you going to do?"
Xia Chuyi also lowered his voice, moved closer to Feng Luo, and asked: "Feng Luo, if...I say if, if someone kills your whole family, will you kill his whole family and make him pay for his blood?"
Compensation?"
Feng Luo paused for a moment, his expression obviously stagnant. After a long time, he said: "No. The others are innocent."
Xia Chu nodded: "The fact that you think so proves that you are a good person. But there are always some people who will not only not let others go, but will also let the murderers who have a grudge against him suffer to death."
"Been tortured?" Feng Luo suddenly frowned.
Xia Chuyi sighed: "I have never understood why that person could kill the Wei family overnight, but he still kept these people, killing only one or two every day, never stopping,
It’s not too much trouble either.”
Feng Luo curled up his index finger and tapped it gently on the table: "Isn't it to shock the people?"
Xia Chuyi suddenly sneered: "Oh, you also saw it today. Where in Cangzhou City looks like a ****? Close the door at night, what kind of anger, what kind of monsters, what kind of ghosts walking at night, as long as they don't threaten them
, does it make any difference who dies?"
This sentence made Feng Luo stunned. After a long while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "So you suspect that the person who wants to kill the Wei family is someone who has a deep hatred for the Wei family?"
"I am also guessing, but I can't rule out this possibility." Xia Chuyi raised his head and looked around. The fire was soaring into the sky, and the sky was dyed with the red glow that only appears in the evening.
This courtyard was as tight as a heavily guarded cage. I don't know what kind of supernatural power it would take to dare to kill people under her nose.
But Xia Chuyi was extremely convinced that that person would definitely come.
Because he will never allow himself to miss once, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.
What is the purpose of slowly killing people?
torture.
Torture the people who are still alive, torture the murderer who has a grudge against him, tell him anytime and anywhere that he might be next, and let him live in endless fear all the time.
Then he would watch helplessly as the people around him died one by one, until he was the only one left.
At that moment, that surge of despair can make a person feel worse than death.
Feng Luo saw her looking at the sky and couldn't help but raise her head to take a look.
However, after just one glance, he immediately lowered his head.
The feeling of seeing endless darkness from afar made him unconsciously think of the scene that appeared repeatedly in his mind, like a nightmare that couldn't go away.
"Feng Luo? Feng Luo?"
Xia Chuyi stretched out his hand and pulled Feng Luo's sleeve. He came back to his senses, and a hint of panic flashed in his calm and cold eyes.
"What's wrong?"
He shook his head and didn't answer anything. Instead, he asked Xia Chu: "You just sit here so arrogantly, that person will take the bait?"
Xia Chuyi now looked certain: "That person will definitely come. Didn't Lin Shengqin also say that? Even if he was guarding it personally, the Wei family died inexplicably. That person's courage was extraordinary.
It’s big.”
While she was talking, she felt that waiting was too boring, so she simply asked the captain of the guard to get some fruits, snacks and tea to distribute to everyone in the Wei family. She also enjoyed eating there.
The first half of the night was uneventful. On the first day of the summer, I cracked melon seeds until my cheeks hurt, ate candied fruits until my teeth became sweet, and drank tea until my stomach was bloated. The people in the yard were still sitting there peacefully.
Many children couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep while leaning on their chairs. The captain of the guard originally wanted the soldiers to carry blankets to cover them, but Xia Chuyi waved his hand and refused.
"Go get some firecrackers and set them off when you see someone sleeping. No one can sleep tonight!"
The captain of the guard immediately asked people to do it, but he didn't really let it go. The old people took care of one of the children and tried their best to coax them to sleep, but it took a while.
The captain of the guard felt that he had gone through a lot of trouble tonight. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help but said to Xia Chu: "It's already past midnight, and there's nothing unusual about the Wei family. They should be able to survive tonight."
."
Xia Chuyi glanced at him coldly, looked him up and down, and suddenly the captain of the guard felt numb all over, and said quickly: "I am also thinking about the censor, I did not kill the person, really,
The heaven and the earth can be used as a guide, and the sun and the moon can be used as expressions..."
"Okay, okay..." Xia Chuyi waved his hand impatiently, "It wasn't you who killed him. It might have been one of your subordinates who did it. It's more likely that something like this was done by an insider."
"But before we came, people in the Wei family had already started dying?" The head guard tilted his head and looked at Xia Chuyi in confusion, with an expression that made people stretch out their feet and stamp their soles on his face.
Xia Chuyi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. After snorting coldly, he looked at the people below again.
When she saw it, she saw many soldiers holding many small toys and distributing them to each child. She immediately reached out and slapped the table and stood up immediately: "What are you doing!"
Seeing Xia Chuyi's rough behavior, the captain of the guard stretched out his hand and wiped away the cold sweat, hurriedly ran to her and said: "Return to the censor, aren't these children very noisy? I just said to give them some toys..."
However, Xia Chuyi didn't give him a chance to finish his words. He stretched out two fingers and whistled in his mouth: "Gather all the shadows and surround everyone in the yard. Don't let anyone escape!"
On the roof, on the treetops, under the eaves, wherever someone could hide, a black figure sprang out, and it really looked like a shadow.
The captain of the guard only knew that there were hidden guards around, but he didn't know the specific location. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he understood what professionalism meant.
No...what do you mean by just handing out a toy and surrounding everyone? These are the soldiers he has brought with him for a long time?
But let it be said, he really didn't dare to go forward and argue with Xia Chuyi now.
First of all, let’s not talk about the identity gap. There are so many shadows who only listen to her words and don’t say anything. Just the two people she follows, if anyone comes out at random, they can crush him to death with one hand...
Silently wiping away the cold sweat, he could only pray that everything was just a misunderstanding.
If a mole was really caught in his army, he wouldn't be able to get rid of it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Xia Chuyi tilted her head and looked at the panicked soldiers and everyone in the Wei family. She simply stood on the table, put her hands on her hips and roared like a lion: "Give me peace!"
Everyone present was shaken to the point of losing their legs and feet, and their eardrums were numb. Even the shadows quickly adjusted their breath to prevent the spiritual energy in their bodies from escaping.
Even Feng Luo, who was next to him, couldn't help but be slightly confused when he saw this - Chu Yi's spiritual power level seemed to be much higher than before.
However, when I searched like this, I still remained at the fourth level of the Great Spiritual Master, without changing at all.
But he didn't think too much. After all, she was getting stronger and stronger, which was the best thing for them. When they were not around her, she also had the ability to protect herself.
Xia Chuyi, who was standing on the table, lowered his head and glanced at the people below. Seeing that everyone was quiet, he continued: "Now the soldiers will withdraw immediately and line up according to the queue. All the people of the Wei family will sit together.
Don't move. Feng Luo, Chang Huan, you two are watching. If anyone disobeys the order, kill him first!"
This tone was decisive and full of deterrence. Even the children stopped crying and making noises. They stood next to their grandparents and uncles and looked at Xia Chuyi timidly.
Xia Chuyi couldn't help but want to bite the handkerchief - this time the bad guy took over, it was really unpleasant, super unpleasant!
Shadow was responsible for surrounding everyone, with Feng Luo and Chang Huan sitting on both sides. The captain of the guard also hurriedly ran over to help direct the soldiers, completely separating the two groups of people very efficiently.
Xia Chuyi hurriedly ran over and checked the heads of the Wei family members side by side, including the elderly and children, taking them extremely seriously.
He checked the people in the first three rows at once and found that there was nothing wrong with them all. Just when Xia Chuyi thought that he had discovered that the man had not succeeded, he caught a glimpse of the last row and saw an old man with a gray beard sitting there listlessly.
, the eyes are slowly closing.
Xia Chu definitely took a closer look. Isn't this the short-lived ghost she just talked about?
I quickly ran over and pulled his hair apart, and sure enough I saw a little silver needle slightly exposed, hidden in the hair. If you don't look carefully, it's not obvious at all.
Xia Chuyi stretched out his hand to check his breathing. He still had some breath. He immediately took out three silver needles and quickly stuck them in, holding him for his last breath.
"Hey, can you hear me? Wake up, don't die..."
Xia Chuyi screamed for a while but there was no movement. She thought to herself that even Feiyun's three needles were useless?
After taking a closer look, I realized that his lips were black and blue, and he looked different from the other dead Wei family members. He looked more like he had been poisoned.
She immediately pinched his chin, looked into his mouth, and saw a ball of black blood inside, all of which poured out at once.
He actually kept holding it in, and no one could see any flaws.
The captain of the guard stood by and stared blankly, saying in disbelief: "Oh my God, another person has died in the Wei family. Can't we stop?"
Xia Chuyi closed the old man's chin, took the handkerchief handed to him, wiped the black blood on his hands, and said: "He was not killed by anyone, he took poison himself."
"Take poison yourself? Why?!" The captain of the guard suddenly opened his eyes wide and walked around the old man, "The third master of the Wei family has always cherished his life. On weekdays, he is always surrounded by a large number of bodyguards when he goes out.
How could you seek death by yourself?"
"Maybe he couldn't stand the torture anymore and died a hundred times. Or maybe his conscience showed up and he was ready to end this game and leave a way for the descendants of the Wei family to survive."
As Xia Chu spoke, he glanced at the elders of the Wei family present, then snorted coldly and walked slowly among the soldiers.
They walked side by side and looked at them one by one. She didn't show any attitude, but instead wandered back to the middle of the Wei family.
"Chief Guard, send the children back to their rooms to rest. The murderer is here."
Xia Chuyi's words stunned everyone present. They all looked at her with bated breath and listened to her say the murderer's name.
However, she did not speak, but turned around and sat back on the chair again, picked up a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.
Everyone in the Wei family looked at each other. One of the older men stood up, straightened his body arrogantly, and said to her: "Master Yushi, now that you know who the murderer is,
Please also make it clear that we, the Wei family, are the victims and have the right to know who caused us such misery."
"Pfft-hahahaha..." Xia Chu couldn't help laughing immediately after hearing this, making everyone confused.
"Master Yushi, what do you mean?" The man couldn't help but frown.
Xia Chuyi directly raised his arm and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with some humor: "Are you the victims? Haven't you ever harmed anyone? I want to know who has harmed you so miserably. Think about who you have harmed.
Isn’t it okay if it’s so miserable?”
As soon as I finished saying this, I saw a group of old men and women who were over fifty years old and had seen a lot of big storms. Their faces suddenly turned pale, and then they all looked at the three or four-year-old man sitting in the middle.
A man about ten years old.
He was unusually calm, holding a cup of tea, his eyes drifted to Xia Chuyi, and he raised the teacup in his hand to her leisurely and elegantly as a greeting.
Xia Chuyi was not stingy either. He picked up the tea cup and pointed it at him. He replaced the wine with tea and took a sip.
"Retribution, retribution, second sister, I told you a long time ago that one day, sooner or later, he will know everything, but you just don't listen, alas..." The old man who stood up was none other than Wei Erye, the eldest son of Mr. Wei.
Jing Rong, at this moment, slumped on the chair, sighing and repeatedly sighing "retribution".
Wei Jingqi, whom he called his second sister, was no better at this moment. She rushed to the sitting man, stretched out her hand and slapped her: "If you have any grievances, just come to me.
Why do you do that to the Wei family! Why!"
Xia Chuyi reached out to the captain of the guard and asked, "What does this have to do with this?"
"Oh, the person sitting there is the second uncle of the Wei family, Ji Shaoyu. I heard that he was kidnapped by the second young lady of the Wei family." The captain of the guard heard these clearly, and seeing that Xia Chuyi was interested, he was about to start a lecture.
She stopped him with a wave of her hand.
"What about the one who just died?"
"Oh, that's the third master of the Wei family, the third brother of Miss Wei Er. I heard that he loves this sister very much."
"Oh~~" Xia Chuyi rubbed his chin and looked up at Ji Shaoyu and Wei Jingqi, who were acting out their infatuation with each other. Some clues seemed to pop up in their minds.
"I asked Mr. Ji, do you want to tell the second lady why you did this to the Wei family?"
Ji Shaoyu was extremely rude at that time. He stood up, dusted off his robe, and slightly cupped his hands towards Xia Chuyi: "That's disrespectful."
