Fuwei Escort Agency took over Jipi Lane, which was not only the arrangement of the Jingnan Palace, but also the outpost of the Geng family stationed in Fuzhou City. Lin Zhennan did not dare to neglect it at all.
He doesn't have to care about the behavior of switching defenses after being sober, but he must act proactively enough.
However, when Fuwei Escort ordered the eighty men and arrived at the entrance of Jipi Alley, one of the soldiers left behind by the Geng family was already bleeding from all his orifices, with his bones broken, and he died in Jipi unwilling to rest in peace.
Under the archway of the alley!
The bodyguards were all experts in the world and had special experience in trauma examinations. They quickly determined that someone had approached him from behind and smashed the Tianling Bone with such great force that he didn't even have time to shout.
die.
The bodyguards were inexplicably panicked. There were only a few people with such palm power in the world. If this person sneaked into Fuzhou City, he could cause endless waves at any time and cause chaos.
In the eyes of many escorts, Mr. Lin was much calmer. His eyes wandered around the dead bodies and he was lost in thought, but his heart felt like a turbulent sea.
"You guys take the body to the government office, and remember to walk slower on the way."
The world of Fuzhou City is not too complicated. Lin Zhennan basically knows who has such strength.
For example, the Holy Child of Hongyang from the White Lotus Sect who often appears in Fuzhou is famous for his inner strength in palm skills. Although he looks like a child, his killing power is frightening. If he were to take action, he could do this easily.
However, what Lin Zhennan was worried about was not the danger of the enemy.
After all, no matter how ferocious the opponent is, Fuwei Escort Bureau still has the backing of Jingnan Prince's Palace. Hongyang Holy Boy took the initiative to offend the Geng family, which is tantamount to self-destruction and will only invite indiscriminate encirclement and suppression.
What he was most worried about was that Jiang Wen would kill someone.
Based on his knowledge of Jiang Wen, he must have been to Jipi Lane. Lin Zhennan would not be surprised if Jiang Wen did anything to satisfy his curiosity.
And Lin Zhennan, who had traveled together in the martial arts world in the early years, also knew very well that Jiang Wen was good at an extremely powerful palm technique, and he could break open monuments and crack rocks as if it were nothing, and he would never survive every time he took action.
Once Jiang Wen is involved actively or unintentionally, even if it only leaves some traces that should not be there, then Jiang Wen will have to face an extremely dangerous situation...
Fortunately, just as he was hesitating, a figure in Jipi Alley flew through the air and suddenly ran towards the alley in the distance.
"Hurry up and chase!"
After only a moment of hesitation, Lin Zhennan ordered the escort to pursue him. Looking from a high place, the torches in the surrounding alleys were swaying and gathering together, winding westward like a fire dragon, chasing a dark and unclean black spot.
The sound is overwhelming.
Lin Zhennan stared into the distance with eyes like lightning, trying to tell whether this figure was Jiang Wen.
If so, then he must catch up with him to protect him first; if not, he must capture the other party to eliminate Jiang Wen's suspicion.
Hoping to buy time for the team of corpse transporters, Lin Zhennan and his men kept chasing, and finally approached a strange dimly lit alley, but the leading figure suddenly disappeared.
"Chief escort!"
"Chief escort!"
Following the shouts of respect, dozens of well-dressed men gathered in the alleys, blazing torches illuminated the surrounding areas, and the firelight also reflected their nervous eyebrows.
Lin Zhennan came forward with a sword in his hand. He was very angry as he walked, and said to the head escort Shi who entered first, "Have you noticed anything strange?"
The smell of alcohol from the night before had completely dissipated. He lowered his voice and said, "A black shadow suddenly shot up at the entrance of the alley and flew in. It looked like a ghost when it passed through the wall. I heard a fight coming from inside.
I didn't dare to let the brothers go in because of the noise, for fear that there would be an ambush from the demon inside..."
Lin Zhennan nodded slowly and asked the bodyguards who were equipped with various weapons to prepare themselves. He also stared at the towering walls on both sides of Netherworld Alley, staring at the moss marks that symbolized uneasiness.
"Be prepared to climb over the wall with your claws and sneak in from the corner of the courtyard. Don't disturb the people inside."
Lin Zhennan became increasingly uneasy, but his face was still majestic and calm as he commanded the escorts.
Ropes were thrown up the wall one after another, and several bodyguards with strong bodies and extraordinary strength climbed up with sharp knives in their mouths, quietly trying to occupy the dangerous terrain so as to attack from inside and outside.
The corners of the courtyard are determined, the center is blooming, and it is condescending, where you can relax and wait for work.
This is the strategy Lin Zhennan has prepared.
But just as the second group of people stood close to the courtyard wall, guarding a small door that was difficult to detect, the door suddenly opened, and a stream of turbid air rolled out, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
.
"Why is it you, Brother Lin?"
A voice sounded very surprised.
"Jiang Wen?!"
Lin Zhennan was also surprised.
"...Good evening everyone."
Jiang Wen's figure slowly appeared. Seeing the crowd at the door, he looked particularly embarrassed, "Brother Lin, why did you ask so many people to protect me? Otherwise, I would treat everyone to a late-night snack after work?"
Lin Zhennan almost pulled off a lock of his beard.
"Zilu, why are you in there! That person just now was really you?!"
Jiang Wen said confused: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? It's obvious that you are the ones surrounding this group. Why are you asking me in turn?"
Jiang Wen shrugged, "When I heard the movements outside in the courtyard, I guessed that they were planning to outflank the two wings and break through in the center, so I might as well come out first to avoid accidental damage. Since we are all our own, let's evacuate quickly. The thieves inside
I have already beaten you away, and now you will definitely not be able to catch up..."
Lin Zhennan frowned and said, "Did you go to Jipi Lane just now and then come here?"
Jiang Wen nodded: "Yes."
Lin Zhennan continued: "Did you see anyone rushing into the yard just now?"
Jiang Wen nodded: "There is a ridiculously ugly ghost-faced man here. His movements are very strange. Are you chasing him?"
"Shi and Zheng, the two bodyguards, will guard the door and don't let anyone in! Zilu, let's take a step to talk..."
Lin Zhennan ordered the bodyguards, and then walked into the door with Jiang Wen, and instantly saw the terrifying scene of corpses standing like a forest in the courtyard.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This!!"
"It's okay, they are all people who have been dead for a long time."
Jiang Wen said, "Looking at you, what happened?"
Lin Zhennan replied in a deep voice: "One member of the Geng family died."
Jiang Wen also shook his head with a bad expression: "It's very foggy here, and I always feel that something is going to happen. Just now, in order to protect a person in the house, I fought with the Ghost-faced Man for several rounds, but the other person suddenly jumped over the wall and ran away.
"
"When I entered the house, I found the person I wanted to protect..."
Jiang Wen led Lin Zhennan into the Hall of Enjoyment and saw bamboo branches scattered on the ground. The two opened a narrow corner cabinet and found someone huddled up with their knees and shoulders hunched over, their face scratched to pieces by their own fingers.
He used bone-shrinking skills to embed it firmly between square inches, and he died with his eyes open for a long time.
"This look... seems to be scary to death..."
Lin Zhennan watched for a moment and made a judgment, "He wanted to avoid being chased and hid in the cupboard, but something scared him to death inside."
Jiang Wen nodded: "I think so too. I only found a bead from his throat and didn't see any fatal injuries. When I was fighting the Ghost-faced Man, he could still speak to us.
Maybe he died in just a quarter of an hour..."
"Huh? What did he tell you?" Lin Zhennan asked.
Jiang Wen thought about it for a while: "They are all nonsense. Anyway, it's not just 'allow me to live'..."
Lin Zhennan was about to speak when suddenly there was another rumbling sound outside the alley. It seemed that another large group of people had surrounded Netherworld Alley, including the Fuwei Escort Agency.
The two of them moved out of the hospital and stood together with the restless escorts. They looked in the direction of the alley in the half-darkness, guessing who was coming.
As the footsteps gradually became clearer, Geng Jingzhong's figure appeared first. He was galloping on his horse and said to Lin Zhennan breathlessly: "Mr. Lin, what happened here!"
Lin Zhennan nervously raised his hands and said: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, there was a murder case in Jipi Lane. I led people to chase it here!"
Then he pointed his hand at Jiang Wen, "The guest of the house just entered first and fought with the murderer for several rounds. Unfortunately, he escaped - another deceased person was found inside, and the cause of death is unknown."
The escorts immediately lowered their weapons and bowed their hands in salute. They secretly admired Lin Zhennan's quick wit and instantly interpreted the suspicious situation of tense swords as a confident attack.
"Any clues?"
"Prince Qi, I suspect that this matter was done by the Holy Child of Hongyang of the White Lotus Sect."
After Lin Zhennan finished speaking, Geng Jingzhong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, turned his head and said loudly behind him.
"Please see, Sir Imperial Envoy, our Jingnan Palace has already controlled the situation, so you don't need to worry anymore!"
These words were full of gunpowder, but heavier footsteps sounded at the entrance of the alley, and a figure like an iron tower suddenly appeared, so that the light of the torches in the Netherworld Alley was blocked and dimmed.
"Your Majesty is still too gullible, this matter is not that simple!"
The answers were tit for tat, but Jiang Wen saw that the person walking in was a muscular monk with short stubble hair and wearing monk's robes. He had thick eyebrows, a ferocious appearance, and his eyes were full of concentration.
He is violent and shows no mercy from the monks.
This imperial envoy is actually a monk?
The monk was much superior to Geng Jingzhong and did not pay any attention to Geng Jingzhong's intention of expelling guests.
"The deceased's external injuries are clear, but no one has seen the murderer. I think the murderer is probably the person who was first discovered, but he just deliberately shouted "catch the thief" in order to get away with it!"
His eyes were fixed on the men and horses of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and he stayed in front of Lin Zhennan for a few seconds. "Especially when we entered the city, we happened to encounter the corpse transport team under the banner of the Escort Agency. Those people were sneaky and called themselves
I want to send it to the government office, but I think I actually want to destroy the body and eliminate all traces of it!"
Regardless of whether you do good or evil, if you use this method of judging deeds regardless of heart, then every action can be analyzed with many different meanings, and everyone has different motives.
Lin Zhennan remained silent and just held his hands in front of him. He could tell that the other party's menacing attack was not directed at him, but more against the Geng family. Forcibly arguing on his own might not be effective.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, Mr. Lin and Fuwei Escorts took over this place under my orders. There is absolutely no possibility of killing anyone!"
Geng Jingzhong waved his sleeves and said, the accompanying Geng family soldiers were all elites from hundreds of battles. They followed Geng Jingzhong with murderous intent, not inferior to the lineup on the opposite side. Each one of them drew their swords and frowned, glaring angrily.
"If there is no evil in your heart, then go to the government office together and be interrogated by this imperial envoy, and you will naturally be cleared! What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The monk smiled very ugly and proposed another plan in order to make progress.
Geng Jingzhong wanted to refuse categorically, but he happened to glance at Lin Zhennan. When he saw the other party nodding slightly, he instantly had an idea in his mind.
Geng Jingzhong said arrogantly: "Since ancient times, no crime has not been tested, and innocent people have not been punished. How can there be any reason to arrest people casually for verification? Isn't this a clear plan to beat someone into submission?"
Then Lin Zhennan spoke decisively.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, but my Fuwei Escort Bureau is loyal to everyone and will never go beyond the limits. If this gentleman is not at ease, just start checking on me, the Chief Escort!"
This move was very clever. Originally, the monk used legal principles to pressure people and wanted to force everyone to find the real culprit. Geng Jingzhong said that if he objected, he would only fall into passivity.
But now he changed his identity and turned into Geng Jingzhong and expressed his opposition. Lin Zhennan was willing to cooperate for his sake, so the monk was put on the fire and roasted.
——Okay, didn't you say that Fuwei Escort Agency is the murderer? Then you can tell us without knowing which one of us the murderer is?
What the monk can and can only do at this time is to start investigating Lin Zhennan and others. If the investigation continues, Lin Zhennan is not the murderer, and the several bodyguard leaders are not the murderer, then the further the investigation goes, the legal rationality of his behavior will be greatly weakened, and it will become a complete and utter
Geng Jingzhong will win if he makes unreasonable troubles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But strangely, the monk looked solemnly and ordered his men to carry up the bleeding corpse.
"The murderer has incredible palm power and moves with great force. Anyone present with this skill will be suspected."
His voice was as rough as sandpaper, "I see that this Taoist priest has a long breath and strong hands. I think he is a master of internal affairs. Let's start with you."
The monk suddenly looked past the crowd and looked at Jiang Wen. His iron tower-like body was extremely oppressive, and he grabbed Jiang Wen's left hand like lightning.
"This inference is too arbitrary. Why can't it be a murderer hiding in the dark?"
The monk said coldly: "You also want to say that it is the missing White Lotus Sect?"
"No, no."
Jiang Wen smiled casually and said to the monk: "What the master said makes sense. I see that the calluses on your hands are overlapping and the metacarpal bones are wide. You should be practicing external skills. If you want to break the Tianling Cap of a living person, it is also
Easy, right?"
The monk frowned and said coldly: "I am entering the city tonight with Prince Geng. I have just arrived in Fuzhou. Are you doubting me?!"
Jiang Wen shook his head gently: "Don't dare, don't dare. Since there are witnesses, of course I don't dare to make random guesses. But I also have witnesses. I don't know where the Taoist Master Chang Qingzi is now. He has met me tonight, so he should be able to give it to me.
testify."
As soon as these words came out, Geng Jingzhong and the monk's expressions changed drastically. They stared at Jiang Wen suddenly and said at the same time.
"Have you seen Changqingzi?!"
Jiang Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Then another man and horse came from outside the alley, dragged a corpse in again, and placed it side by side with the corpses of the soldiers on the ground. It turned out to be Qingzi, the tall and ancient-looking Qingcheng sect leader. At this time, he was bleeding from all his orifices and had no breath at all.
The ground has been dead for a long time!
"Just now we were outside the alley next to the tower for saving people, and we saw an arm exposed. The Taoist priest had been beaten to death, and the way of death was exactly the same as before!"
The monk looked at Jiang Wen aggressively, with lightning almost radiating from his eyes.
"There are many suspicions on you, why don't you come to justice quickly?"
Lin Zhennan turned pale and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is clear that Jiang Wen can never kill anyone! There must be someone else who kills someone!"
Geng Jingzhong also looked at Lin Zhennan and Jiang Wen suspiciously. After taking a deep breath, he continued to look at the monk.
"Although the Imperial Envoy has a sacred mission, he is not patrolling for heaven, right? If something happens to the troops recruited by the Jingnan Palace, we should be responsible for it ourselves. It is quite inappropriate for you to overstep your authority in this way."
The monk suddenly laughed loudly and took out a piece of paper from the hand beside him.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. In addition to the imperial edict, I also received a personal order from the King of Jingnan, ordering me to restrain myself and dissuade the Crown Prince from violating the rules. The prince also said that if you behave in a dissolute manner, you should go back to your home to reflect on your mistakes. So,
The prince can make his own decision!"
Geng Jingzhong only looked at a corner and could tell that it was Geng Jimao's handwriting - he had always represented the will of the palace, and Geng Jimao had long recognized it. Why would such a document leak out now? What happened to the palace?
As a piece of paper landed lightly in front of Geng Jingzhong, the young man stood there as if struck by lightning, with his face turning blue and white, and slowly spoke under Lin Zhennan's disbelieving eyes.
"In this case, the suspect will be taken into custody..."
"We will try again at another date..."
Lin Zhennan said quickly: "Your Majesty! I am willing to use the name of Fuwei Escort Agency to guarantee that Jiang Wen will not be suspected..."
Geng Jingzhong sighed and said before the monk.
"Boss Mr. Lin, the Fuwei Escort Agency is also involved this time. It is not appropriate to cause more trouble. You should also go back behind closed doors to thank the guests. You are not allowed to go out and about at will until the matter is investigated."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh, walked out of the alley surrounded by his soldiers with a complicated expression, and galloped away.
