"Huo Xingwu!"

"ah!"

A roar of thunder in the dark night frightened Huo Xingwu into screaming, and he jumped up on the spot.

Wang Wu's furious eyes stared at Huo Xingwu like a cannibal.

How much he hoped that Huo Xingwu had nothing to do with this case, he even thought of words for Huo Xingwu to clear away the suspicion.

The amber jade pendant was stolen or sold to someone else.

But the appearance of Huo Xingwu shattered Wang Wu's hope, knowing that the eighty-nine murders in Xiangyang Village were definitely related to him.

He was heartbroken and angry.

Heartbroken that Huo Xingwu's life was ruined, and angry that Huo Pingfan was about to be implicated and would no longer be an official.

"No, no, no, I - I'm not Huo Xingwu, you got the wrong person!"

Huo Xingwu woke up from the fright, hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, refusing to admit that he was Huo Xingwu, and then turned around and ran away.

Wang Wu strode forward and caught up with him, grabbed him by the back of his neck and pushed him down on the grass.

"You're not Huo Xingwu, who are you?!" Wang Wu reached out and pulled off the black cloth scarf on Huo Xingwu's face and asked.

"Wang Tou, I didn't kill him! I really didn't kill him! Please, let me go, let me go!"

Huo Xingwu struggled and begged for mercy, but the back of his neck was held tightly by Wang Wu, and he could not get up no matter how hard he struggled.

"Are you looking for this?" Wang Wu took out the amber jade pendant from his arms, threw it in front of Huo Xingwu, and asked with a sneer.

Before Huo Xingwu could deny it, he said first, "Don't argue, I know this jade pendant, it belongs to you."

"Woo——"

With the irrefutable evidence, Huo Xingwu's spirit collapsed instantly, and he burst into tears in fear. While crying, he said: "Wangtou, help me, I was framed. I have no enmity with the people in Xiangyang Village, how could I kill them?"

?Wangtou, you must believe me, I was framed!"

Wang Wu was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, he grabbed Huo Xingwu and rushed forward.

puff!

An arrow hit the spot where Wang Wu was just now.

Whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, another rapid sound broke through the air from the darkness in the north.

when!

Wang Wu drew out his sharp knife, deflected the incoming arrow, and at the same time rushed to where he was just now to pick up the jade pendant on the ground.

Suddenly a masked man in black jumped out from the darkness, holding a long knife and slashing at Wang Wu to prevent him from picking up the jade pendant.

The long sword was shining with the bright light of stars in the dark night, and the shadow of the sword in the sky instantly swallowed up Wang Wu.

"ah!"

When Huo Xingwu saw this, he was so frightened that he screamed because the bright star light told him that the masked man in black was the star power, so he felt that Wang Wu, who was shrouded in the shadow of the knife, would definitely die.

Maybe even the masked man in black thought so, because he didn't strike a second time.

But just when the shadow of swords in the sky was about to strangle Wang Wu, Wang Wu suddenly broke through the shadow of swords with his sword and rushed out.

His sharp sword also shone with the power of the stars.

"Who are you?" Wang Wu put the jade pendant he picked up into his arms and stared at the masked man in black and asked.

"Haha, who would have thought that there is a star power hidden in front of the small government office." The masked man in black sneered in surprise.

Wang Wu frowned slightly and quickly searched for memories in his mind, because he felt that he had heard the voice of the masked man in black somewhere, and soon a face appeared in his mind.

"My cultivation level is not as good as that of Shan Jiaotou in the uncle's house." Wang Wuchao said with a smile to the masked man in black.

The masked man in black was obviously startled when he heard this. He raised his hand in panic and touched the towel on his face. He thought that the towel was not tied properly, which exposed his identity. However, he found that the towel was tied properly, so he couldn't help but be curious.

Asked: "How did you recognize me?"

"I'm lucky enough to hear Coach Shan's voice." Wang Wu said with a smile.

"Amazing!" Shan Liangji raised his thumbs and praised sincerely, but then his tone became serious and he said: "How about this matter ends here? The dead are dead, and the living have to live, right?"

"What if I say no?" Wang Wu asked with a cold face.

"Then I can only bring some gifts to visit the head catcher's wife, children and children." Shan Liangji's eyes shot out two cold gleams.

"I listen to Coach Shan." Wang Wu immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. His wife, children, and children were his weak spots.

Although he wanted to avenge the wronged soul, the limited sense of justice in his heart was not as important as his wife, children and children.

Shan Liangji nodded with satisfaction, waved to Wang Wu and said, "Give me that jade pendant."

"Wang Tou, don't want it, you can't give it to him!" Huo Xingwu shouted anxiously.

He is not too stupid, he knows that if the jade pendant is given to Shan Liangji, his life and death will be in his hands from now on.

Wang Wu took out the jade pendant from his arms, held it in his hand and crushed it. The jade pendant immediately turned into powder and fell from his hand.

Huo Xingwu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the gloom that had enveloped his heart for a long time also dissipated.

Although Shan Liangji frowned in displeasure, he had no choice but to be satisfied with the result.

He didn't come here tonight because of Huo Xingwu. He was woken up by a midnight nightmare and worried that there was something missing, so he came here specifically to check and confirm.

So the scene before him was a complete unexpected gain, what could he be dissatisfied with.

If the Ministry of Punishment can’t find any clues after ten days and a half month of investigation and then let it go, then naturally it’s good for you, good for me, good for everyone.

But if the Ministry of Punishment investigates seriously and has to get to the bottom of it, even without the jade pendant, he can make Huo Xingwu the scapegoat, because the jade pendant is not a link in his plan.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Be careful of people from the Ministry of Punishment seeing you and causing trouble." Shan Liangji kindly reminded him before leaving.

Looking at Shan Liangji's figure disappearing into the night, Huo Xingwu breathed a long sigh of relief, excitedly waved his fist in the air, and couldn't help but growl: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky!"

Snapped!

Wang Wu turned around and slapped Huo Xingwu to the ground.

"Wang Tou, what are you doing?!" Huo Xingwu asked angrily, covering his cheek.

"You slaughtered eighty-nine lives in Xiangyang Village, and now you are shouting that if you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed later? Are you a fucking beast?!" Wang Wu cursed angrily.

"I told you, I was framed." Huo Xingwu shouted with his eyes widened.

Wang Wu took a step forward, put his foot on Huo Xingwu's chest, and asked in a cold voice: "Tell me, how were you framed? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will dig a hole and bury you."

Instinct told Wang Wu that things were definitely not that simple.

Huo Xingwu was frightened to death by Wang Wu's murderous intent, and immediately explained the whole story one by one.

It turned out that a friend told him that when the Dengxian Pavilion was built on Qinan Mountain, it was maliciously blocked by a group of unscrupulous people at the foot of Qinan Mountain, making it difficult to proceed with the construction.

After hearing this, he immediately volunteered to teach the unruly people who blocked the construction a lesson in order to win the appreciation of his uncle.

My friends were convinced after hearing this.

So he went to Qinan Mountain together, and sure enough he saw some unscrupulous people obstructing the construction. Without saying a word, he and his friends rushed up and beat the unruly people to pieces.

A man who claimed to be the chief engineer of Dengxian Pavilion praised them greatly and said that he would inform Uncle Guo of their heroic performance. Finally, he tried his best to persuade them to stay one night on Qinan Mountain, saying that the unruly people at the foot of the mountain would still be there at night.

If they come to cause trouble, you have to rely on them for a lot of help.

They readily agreed.

At night, they drank while waiting for the unruly people to come and cause trouble, and ended up getting drunk while drinking.

Half drunk and half awake, he suddenly saw the unruly people coming towards them with knives, forks and sticks. He was so frightened that he grabbed a long knife and started to fight back. Then he lost his memory.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, he thought he had a nightmare. Unexpectedly, when he looked around, the ground was full of dead bodies, and he was lying in a pool of blood with a long knife in his hand.

He was so frightened that he got up and ran away. Fortunately, no one noticed him and allowed him to run home smoothly, where he has been hiding since then.

After listening to Huo Xingwu's story, Wang Wu frowned and asked, "You said you were lying in a pool of blood when you woke up, so you should be covered in blood and no one would stop you on the road?"

"I changed into clean clothes and went back." Huo Xingwu said.

"Where can I get clean clothes?" Wang Wu asked.

"Picked it up on the road."

"Picked it up on the road?!" Wang Wu suddenly raised his voice.

"Yes - I picked it up. I don't know who left it on the roadside. I promise it wasn't stolen." Huo Xingwu said.

"What about the bloody clothes you changed into?" Wang Wu asked with a wry smile.

The bloody clothes, the murder weapon, and one or two witnesses would be enough to identify Huo Xingwu as the murderer.

Huo Xingwu also realized the seriousness of the problem, his face turned pale, and he replied in a trembling voice: "I was so flustered at the time that I threw my bloody clothes into the grass on the roadside."

"If my inference is correct, there must be something on that bloody suit that marks your identity, and that knife must also be your saber." Wang Wudao.

"Yes - yes." Huo Xingwu was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva.
