Yang Ming was all the limelight in Yunjing. He dealt with two bullies, Yuan Hengzhi and Xiao Peng, and his popularity in Hongmeng Academy skyrocketed.

But Lao Lu was not so relaxed. He went out early in the morning and rode horses with Tang Ke straight to Zifangqi.

As soon as they arrived at the inn in Zifang County, the two of them encountered something big.

Everyone in the Zifang County Station was killed, and the death was extremely tragic.

A case like this has not occurred in Zhongzhou for a long time, and it ended up being encountered by Tang Ke and Lu Cheng.

"I really don't know if we are a little bit negative or a little bit upright."

After Tang Ke finished the autopsy, he walked out of the inn, and the two of them waited beside the official road for the officers and soldiers from Zifang Banner to arrive.

"Everyone in this inn had bayonets stabbed through their chests. Moreover, even the livestock in the inn's kitchen and the horses in the pen were all killed."

Tang Ke's words reminded Lu Cheng of some things that he didn't really want to remember. The tragedy at this inn really matched everything in his memory.

Lu Cheng took a sip of wine and threw the wine jar in his hand into the distance.

This ruthless method of leaving no one alive, this exquisite technique of piercing the chest.

There is no doubt that this is the work of that damn madman Balro.

The executioner on the river is murderous. He was a strong man at the peak of concentration when Lu Cheng was a child.

Later, he entered the realm of transformation into gods and was officially on the list of the God-killing Order.

Although the God-Killing Order was promulgated by the Zong family and implemented by the Heng family, the twenty names on the God-Killing Order have not been erased for a long time in recent years.

In the past few years, the Zong family has not left the Cloud Palace, and the Heng family's dragon has never seen its head or tail. The execution of the God of Killing Order has been handed over to the hands of generals above Lieutenant General Zhongzhou Mu.

On the one hand, we have to guard the border and on the other hand, we have to clean up the criminals on the Killing God Order, which is naturally inefficient.

"If you are in a bad mood, you might as well tell me. The wise and powerful Tang Er can still solve some problems."

Lu Cheng could feel that Tang Ke was actually not interested in Lu Cheng's mood at all.

But out of good intentions, he still said this.

"Okay, I know you don't want to listen to a big man's complaints, so I'd better save these words to talk to the girl."

"If you're really upset, I can really listen."

"No."

Lu Cheng refused simply.

"Thank you, actually I really don't want to hear it."

Tang Ke tilted his head, took two jars of wine from his horse, and handed one to Lu Cheng.

"What should we do next? Should we wait here, or go directly to where the second prince said."

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Lu Cheng's question made Tang Ke a little curious.

"What a coincidence."

"When were these people killed?"

"It was probably in the morning, when we just left Yunjing."

Lu Cheng opened the jar of wine and took a big gulp.

"I have a very strange feeling that as soon as we leave Yunjing, we will definitely pass by this inn. He Barro killed all these people when we left the city."

"What is his intention? Is this a provocation? Or does he have other plans?"

Tang Ke thought for a moment, then slowly opened the jar and took a slight sip.

"Judging from the situation at the scene, I think Barro may no longer be in Zifang County."

"They should be preparing to leave Zifang Banner in a hurry, come to this inn to rest, and then go on a killing spree."

Lu Cheng shook his head.

"No, this is unreasonable. He has no reason to kill these people."

"I remember that the description of Balro in the Order of the Killing God was full of moodiness and anger. Is it possible that the guy at this inn may have offended him?"

"I saw that guy had two stabs in his chest, and everyone else had one stab in his chest."

"No, although Barro is moody and angry, he is not a brainless young man."

Lu Cheng seemed to remember something.

"If I remember correctly, when he killed someone, he would only give him one stab, and he wouldn't even bother to use the second stab."

"Maybe that guy really pissed him off."

"He is in the realm of transformation, Tang Ke. The difference between the realm of transformation and ordinary people is like the difference between a god and an ant."

Lu Cheng murmured, and after thinking about it again and again, he decided to go in and take a look himself.

Putting the wine jar outside the door, Lu Cheng walked straight to the body of the man who had been stabbed twice.

The first knife, without a doubt, pierced his heart directly.

The second knife, somewhat strangely, hit his lungs.

The first blow had obviously killed the man, so why did he need a second blow? Could it be that it was really just to vent his anger?

This is unreasonable,

It's not normal either.

"Barro will always kill with one stab through the heart. If a second stab is used, there are only two possibilities."

"One, the first stab was not fatal."

"Two, he did it on purpose."

Lu Cheng thought for a moment and looked around.

In this inn, the water tank bottomed out, and a lot of steamed buns and buns from the kitchen were taken away in a panic.

All these signs indicate that the perpetrator is not just one person.

"However, the time is not right."

Lu Cheng looked at the remaining water in the water tank.

It stands to reason that if this murder occurred in the morning, the water in the water tank would be stained with a lot of dust.

However, the water level before the water was drawn can still be seen in the water tank, which shows that the water in it has not been taken away for a long time.

"Maybe a group of people came here before we came and took away some food and fresh water."

"How can anyone calmly take away food and fresh water after seeing such a scene? I can't understand it."

"unless……"

Lu Cheng thought for a while and walked out of the inn.

Tang Ke followed him. When he walked out of the inn, Tang Ke still felt confused.

"What do you want to say?"

"Unless people who calmly took food and fresh water walked into the inn, there wouldn't be so many dead people here."

"impossible."

Tang Ke shook his head.

"This place is the first scene, and these people are all dead in the morning."

"Although I admit that you, Mr. Lu Cheng, are indeed smarter than me, we are the experts when it comes to autopsies."

"I have lived for more than thirty years, and I have handled as many as one thousand and fifty scenes. I can tell you responsibly that this is the number one scene."

Tang Ke patted his chest and said, the result of such a guarantee would be a slap in the face.

With that said, Lao Lu took out the Qinglong Soul Suppressing Bell, and a green dragon made of true energy flew out from the Soul Suppressing Bell.

Lao Lu activated the Qinglong Soul Suppressing Bell and directly enveloped the entire inn with huge energy.

"Take it and see for yourself."

Lao Lu handed the Qinglong Soul Suppressing Bell to Tang Ke, and Tang Ke took the Qinglong Soul Suppressing Bell without belief.

That's right, Tang Er, the head of the family, was severely slapped in the face.

There was not a trace of soul fluctuation in the entire inn.

In other words, all the people who died in this inn did not have their souls scattered when they died.

This is simply impossible.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that the wise and powerful Tang Er would actually fall into trouble today!"

Tang Ke threw the Qinglong Soul Suppressing Bell to Lu Cheng and walked straight in the direction of the horse.

Since this is not the first scene, there is only one possibility for it to be arranged like this.

Just to mislead them both.

If Lu Cheng had listened to Tang Ke's words, then he would most likely have concluded that Balluo no longer wanted to flag Zifang.

Then, the purpose of creating this scene will be achieved.

Obviously, he was covering for Barro.

Who would do this? Apart from Lu Cheng, Tang Ke and the second prince, who else knows that Balro is in Zifang Banner?

Could it be that there is something wrong with the second prince's close confidant, the old eunuch who protected him during the autopsy?

"I'll go back to Yunjing, and you go find Barro. The second prince's life is very important, and I must protect him."

"There is no need for you to go back. Our second prince is a smart man."

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he also got on the horse.

"You follow me to find Balro. What we are facing now is not just Balro."

"What do you mean? I don't seem to understand."

"Think about it, who can be the person who can arrange this scene in time and perfectly predict the timing for us to come here?"

When Lu Cheng said this, Tang Ke felt horrified.

"Zhongzhou Mu, Zifang Flag."

…

In Yunjing, the second prince had just woken up. He opened his sleepy eyes and let out a long yawn.

The old eunuch heard the sound of the second prince getting up and walked into the room respectfully, holding a handkerchief and a basin of water in his hands.

"Your Highness, it's time to wash up."

The second prince glanced at him, twisted his neck, and made a rattling sound.

He stood up slowly, sat up from the bed, then walked to the bed and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"Eunuch Han, how many years have you been by my side?"

"Your Highness, no more, no less, a full thirty years."

"Oh, thirty years, it's been a long time.",

The second prince murmured.

"In the past thirty years, Yunjing has changed from abject poverty to the prosperity it is today, and I have also changed from a young boy to a middle-aged man in his fifties."

"Your Highness is still a young man, you are not middle-aged."

"Thirty years, a full thirty years, Eunuch Han, your friendship with me has lasted thirty years!"

The second prince's questioning tone made Eunuch Han look surprised.

"Our thirty-year friendship is no match for a mere yellow and white thing!"

"Where is your loyalty, where is your conscience, where is your affection!"

The second prince's successive questions made Eunuch Han feel stunned at first, but then he calmed down.

"I don't understand what His Highness said!"

"How could you not understand! Do you really think I can't see it?"

"I thought you wouldn't make the same mistake again and again."

The second prince paused, suppressed the anger in his heart, and clenched his fists tightly.

"In this case, Your Highness, why don't you let me know how you figured it out?"

"Xie Shu, you said that Lu Cheng's soul-replenishing technique is a witchcraft."

After listening in, the old lady was shocked.

A hundred secrets and a sparseness, indeed a hundred secrets and a sparseness.

"Although the soul-replenishing technique is similar to the soul-stealing technique, the aura it emits is fundamentally different."

"Eunuch Han, have you ever seen the soul-stealing technique? That is the real evil magic. You thought the technique Lu Cheng used yesterday was the soul-stealing technique."

"That's why you ask, what kind of evil magic is this? You can't tell the difference between the art of stealing souls and the art of replenishing souls."

After the second prince finished speaking, the old eunuch was not convinced.

"Is it possible that, just based on this, His Highness concluded that I betrayed His Highness?"

"Although Mr. Han dare not claim to be loyal, he still won't do such a disobedient crime!"

"No matter what I say, I have gone through ups and downs with His Highness for thirty years. How could I betray His Highness for some yellow and white things?"

"Your Highness, please think twice!"

The second prince smiled, a very painful smile.

There was helplessness, pain, and helplessness in his smile.

"You...you can use the water I gave you to wash your face."

Eunuch Han resolutely splashed his face with water from the basin, but nothing happened after that.

"Your Highness."

Eunuch Han's tone was pleading, and he looked extremely pitiful.

The second prince slowly walked towards Eunuch Han and wiped Eunuch Han's face with the handkerchief.

Suddenly, a burning mark appeared on Eunuch Han's face, and the violent toxin entered Eunuch Han's brain directly along the seven orifices.

Eunuch Han fell to the ground in response.

"Such a very spicy poison is rare in the world."

"Eunuch Han, in exchange for thirty years of friendship, you betrayed me."

"If I hadn't noticed something, I might be the one lying on the ground."

"The method used to assassinate Jiang Hua'er will now be used on me again?"

The second prince's voice was very loud, as if he was specifically speaking to someone.

After the second prince finished speaking, a figure faintly descended from the roof.

"The Second Prince's words are really unpleasant, and our family is not used to hearing them."

His face was covered, and his whole body was covered by a dark robe. Even his height, height, fatness and thinness could not be seen.

"You are so stupid that you dare to touch me, right?"

"You have spoiled that lord's good deeds. Naturally, we cannot keep you. No matter if you are a prince or a young master, we will kill you all. Anyway, the family will not be able to get out of Yun Palace."

"Do you know the consequences of saying this?"

"At this point, does the second prince still want to escape death?"

"The consequence is, life! No! Like! Death!"

After that, the second prince took out a talisman from his robe and threw it heavily towards the masked man in black. The masked man in black hurriedly dodged, but the talisman was very fast and still stuck to his body.

.

Immediately, the violently imprisoned true energy on the talisman erupted. This true energy was definitely not instilled by ordinary practitioners. It was most likely the handiwork of the second prince's teacher.

The masked man in black robe was directly locked in this space, unable to move or leave.

"Let me see who you really are!"

The second prince lifted off the veil of the man in black robe, and what he saw in front of him made him extremely surprised.

The facial features of this man in black robes have been destroyed beyond recognition, leaving only the nostrils for breathing and a mouth.
