In the Gaozhai compound and the Xu family's mansion, people were on guard and the atmosphere was solemn.
In the hall, Xu Zaichuan's body was placed in the coffin. Xu Wangliang stood aside, looking at the wound on his son's neck with a gloomy expression.
"What a fast sword, what a ruthless sword!"
Xu Wangliang said a word between his teeth, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a bit. The girls and servants in the hall all stopped breathing, for fear of offending Xu Wangliang at this moment.
"Master, you must avenge Chuan'er!" Xu Zaichuan's mother wailed loudly, her voice hoarse and eardrum-piercing.
"Kill my Xu's heir, no matter who it is, he will not be able to escape!"
Xu Wangliang turned to look at his butler. The butler quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Master, I just ordered that anyone who has a grudge against the young master is now investigating today's whereabouts. As long as there is any difference in the whereabouts, we will immediately
They will be arrested first."
"Snapped!"
Xu Wangliang slapped the butler on the cheek. The butler's whole body hit the pillar, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The housekeeper looked at Xu Wangliang with a horrified expression, wondering what he had done wrong. All the servants around him shuddered and buried their heads lower.
"As long as there is anyone who has a grudge, they will all be arrested and interrogated first, regardless of whether there is any change in their whereabouts today."
Xu Wangliang looked down at the housekeeper and said gloomily: "There are also those who are wandering around Chuan'er's residence today. We will arrest them all. We would rather kill the wrong ones than let go of any suspicious ones. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, let's do it now, little one!" The housekeeper immediately got up and ran down with a swollen cheek.
"The young master is dead, you don't seem to be sad at all!" Xu Wangliang suddenly looked at the servants around him.
All the servants were agitated, and the sound of wailing resounded in the hall, even reaching outside the mansion.
In the middle of the street in Xingfen City.
"How brave, how dare you knock down my shop!"
"Sir, everyone inside is dead. They were all killed with one sword!"
"Can you see anything?"
"The traces left behind have been wiped away, and nothing can be seen yet. Master, I heard that Xu Zaichuan died today, also from a sword wound, and the same happened to He Yuanqiu."
"Oh? This is actually interesting."
"Master, what should we do now?"
"Check! If we don't respond when someone knocks down a store like this, others might think we're easy to bully!"
"Okay, I'll do it now, little one!"
The entire atmosphere in Xingfen City seemed to have become tense all of a sudden. Searches and arrests were made, and some well-informed people hurriedly hid in their homes and stopped wandering outside to avoid harming Chiyu.
Cries and fights would occasionally sound somewhere in the city, but they quickly subsided.
The other aristocratic families in Xingfen City acquiesced to Xu Wangliang's actions. After all, one of their most beloved heirs died. If they were to stop him at this point, they would immediately become grudges against Xu Wangliang.
Moreover, Xu Wangliang is well-known in Xingfen City for retribution. If there is a misunderstanding, it may be fine now, but Xu Wangliang will stab him in the future.
Some aristocratic families are not afraid, but they don't want to cause such trouble.
On the next day, the Xu family began to investigate the outsiders in Xingfen City. All those who had disguised themselves were arrested and interrogated.
If you dare to use disguise, it means there is something treacherous in your heart. If there is something treacherous in your heart, then go to the Xu Family Prison and talk about it.
However, there are really too many outsiders in Xingfen City. It would be too difficult for the Xu family to check them all one by one, and they would also make too many enemies. Not all outsiders are easy to bully, and there are some real masters among them.
.
Therefore, in just two days, this large-scale search of outsiders slowly stopped. There are still searches, but we can no longer conduct such unscrupulous searches.
At the same time, those who planned to leave the city or caravans were the key targets of the search. At the same time, those caravans were also told that if anyone who joined them midway found anything suspicious, they could come back and get a large reward.
Xingfen City has not been so noisy for many years, which has made people panic. There are far fewer people on the streets and in restaurants.
The Xu family's residence.
"Among these people?"
Xu Wangliang turned to look at Wu Changli. This was an offering from the Qian family. It was specially sent by the Qian family to help Xu Wangliang.
Wu Changli's cultivation level is average. He is over fifty years old. In the past few years, he has been cultivating to the bone-forging realm. However, in the Qian family, Wu Changli's status is on par with ordinary marrow-training realm warriors.
Just because Wu Changli has a unique skill that can control some Gu insects.
There are weird types of Gu insects, and one of them can find people based on the smell of blood.
The Qian family has a normal relationship with the Xu family, but Xu Wangliang caused a stir in Xingfen City this time. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the Qian family asked Wu Changli to take action.
Upon hearing Xu Wangliang's question, Wu Changli did not answer immediately, but looked closely at a Gu insect with wings in his hand. The Gu insect was currently hovering in Wu Changli's hand and had no intention of flying out.
"Not these people." Wu Changli shook his head and said.
Many people in the prison had been tortured beyond recognition, and some were even seriously injured and dying. They had just heard the conversation between Xu Wangliang and Xu Wangliang, and had a general understanding of it.
So when they heard Wu Changli's words, some people couldn't help crying with joy. They could finally leave here.
"You seem to be very happy!"
Xu Wangliang was already a little disappointed, but when he heard the changes in the expressions of the people in the prison, he became even more angry. He had lost a son, and these people dared to be so happy now.
The people in the prison felt as if their throats were being strangled and they did not dare to make any more noise.
"There should be some accomplices among them. After careful interrogation, those who deserve to be killed can be killed!"
Xu Wangliang said a word and turned around to leave the prison. Wu Changli shrank his neck and quickly followed.
Wu Changli had heard that Xu Wangliang was moody before, and now he had seen it. Those in the prison were unlucky enough to meet Xu Wangliang.
I can only say that in this world, if you want to live well, sometimes you just have to avoid causing trouble.
"Can Wu Zongfeng track down the murderer of my son?"
Arriving at the lobby, Xu Wangliang sat on a high chair and looked down at Wu Changli. Although he didn't put any pressure on him, Wu Changli's body still tensed up involuntarily.
"If that person hasn't left Xingfen City yet, you can give it a try," Wu Changli said in a low voice.
"Then there will be sacrifices for you!" Xu Wangliang said with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth.
"Don't dare!"
Wu Changli quickly waved his hand, glanced at the Gu worm in his sleeve, took out a piece of black soil the size of a fingernail from his pocket, and put it to the Gu worm's mouth with some pain.
The Gu insect made a leap and landed directly on the black soil. In just a moment, the black soil was eaten.
The Gu insect's wings trembled slightly and began to fly forward.
As early as half an hour ago, this Gu worm had licked Xu Zaichuan's blood. Therefore, what this Gu worm was looking for now was the same scent.
