Chapter 13 The bloody case in a small mountain village
It was already the first moment of Yin hour, the bright moon began to fall, the bright moonlight gradually dimmed, and the small mountain village fell into silence. Under a cloud of dark clouds, the Ye family had turned into ashes, with only broken walls remaining in the ruins.
With a sad expression, Ye Yinfeng knelt in the courtyard, holding back the tears. His hands had been deeply dug into the soil. The big yellow dog seemed to feel Ye Yinfeng's grief and stood silently behind him.
.At this time, the yellow dog's ears moved, and it suddenly bit Ye Yinfeng's sleeve and pulled it a few times.
Ye Yinfeng woke up from his grief. His expression changed involuntarily. In the village not far away, the sound of the clothes of several people walking at night breaking through the air came to his ears. It seemed that they were coming here from the village.
, and a thick murderous aura came with the wind. Ye Yinfeng was shocked and rushed towards the ruins of the Ye family, hiding next to a broken wall that had not collapsed. Shielding the aura all over his body,
The yellow dog followed closely behind him, lying behind him with his eyes looking out of the courtyard.
As soon as Ye Yinfeng and Huang Gou hid themselves, he realized that this was the source of his uneasiness all night. The last batch of black clothes obviously did not give him such strong uneasiness. He knew that the uneasiness in his heart really started at this moment.
Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but hold his breath, and he felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate.
Four men in black drew a trace in the air and stood gently on the wall of the courtyard. The four men in black carried a strong chilling aura, and their black robes swayed in the wind, making them look particularly special.
Mysterious. Ye Yinfeng forced his heartbeat to slow down. He blocked his breath and blended into the night.
Ye Yinfeng looked nervously at the four men in black. Under the same black robe, it was difficult to distinguish their physical characteristics and gender. The difference from the previous batch of men in black was that they had a strong
They were full of murderous intent and were clad in black robes. Each man in black had the word "thorn" embroidered in small gold-edged letters on his chest.
Four men in black stood on the wall, looking around at the ruined Ye family. One man in black seemed to feel Ye Yinfeng's gaze and looked towards Ye Yinfeng's hiding place. Ye Yinfeng immediately lowered his head.
He bowed his head and closed his eyes tightly. The man in black seemed unwilling to give in. He kept staring at Ye Yinfeng's hiding place for a while. Ye Yinfeng could clearly feel a pair of eyes sweeping around him. After a while,
After a while, he looked away.
"It seems that someone came to the Ye family in advance, and the time was not long ago. If the Ye family escaped, our people should have discovered that it is certain that the Ye family was completely wiped out and turned into ashes. On the ground
There are bloodstains on the body, as well as the green pine tree that was broken by the waist. It is certain that a fight must have occurred here. It seems that the Ye family has at least a master in the inner strength stage. But in the end, dust will return to dust, and dust will return to dust. We can
Let’s go back and pay the bills.” One of the men in black said to the other three men in black, his voice was hollow, like a ghost appearing from hell.
After the four men in black disappeared into the night, Ye Yinfeng did not dare to move at all. He still did not relax his vigilance. His whole body remained in the same posture as before the men in black came. After a long time, Ye Yinfeng could no longer feel it.
The breath of the four men in black was gone, and he was sure that the men in black would never return. He took a long breath, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to slowly disappear. Ye Yinfeng turned around and realized that
From time to time, the yellow dog left behind him.
A low whine came, and Ye Yinfeng took a closer look. The yellow dog was in a ruins. The two dog paws kept digging at something, and a faint yellow light emerged. Ye Yinfeng discovered the yellow dog.
The location happened to be his bedroom. He walked to the yellow dog. At this time, the yellow dog took out a thin piece of paper from the ruins. It was emitting a faint yellow light, and the faint halo was reflected in the moonlight.
It seems extremely dazzling.
Ye Yinfeng took the paper-thin object from the yellow dog's mouth. The object was as thin as paper and emitted a faint yellow light. Ye Yinfeng found that there were hundreds of small characters on it, like flies' heads. He didn't know
What is this paper-thin object made of? The material is harder than paper. He tried folding the object and found that it could be folded. After unfolding it, it remained intact. However, he found that the moonlight had faded and he could not see clearly.
The words on the object. Ye Yinfeng felt that this was not the time to study the object. He folded the object and stuffed it into his arms. He was stunned and found that the book "Tai Qing Jue" in his arms was
He was missing. When he thought about it, he remembered that when he came out of the house, he forgot to take out the mental method and left it on the bed. It might have turned into a pile of ashes at this time. But Ye Yinfeng did not look annoyed, because
He had already memorized that mental method in his mind, but it was left to him by the old Taoist priest, so he couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart.
Ye Yinfeng slowly walked out of the ruins of the Ye family. He put away the grief in his heart and looked blankly at the darkening night. He didn't know where to go next. He also had many questions in his heart.
These two different groups of men in black had the same purpose, and the first group of men in black seemed less scary than the latter group. Ye Yinfeng felt that the latter group of men in black were the real ones.
The killer, that kind of strong murderous intention is something he will never forget in his life. If, as Ye Ran said, the first batch of black-clothed men are assassins of the Assassin Tianmeng, then what are the second batch of black-clothed men, especially
It's the word "thorn" in small golden letters on the chests of their black robes. What kind of organization are they killers? Both groups of people want to kill the Ye family. Who are they?
Ye Yinfeng walked out of the courtyard of the Ye family, turned back and silently looked at the ruins of the entire Ye family, pondered for a while, then turned and walked towards the small mountain village, still followed by the yellow dog.
When he was approaching the small mountain village, Ye Yinfeng smelled a smell of blood. The closer he got to the mountain village, the stronger the smell of blood. Ye Yinfeng was shocked and rushed to the village. He only felt that the village was dead silent and the pungent smell of blood
Rushing towards him, he quickly broke into a farmer's house. When he opened the door, he saw that everyone in the farmer's family was lying in a pool of blood. Ye Yinfeng visited several families, but the result was the same. This little evasive boy
In the village, the whole village was killed,
A burst of grief and anger surged into his heart, and Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but roar to the sky. More than a few hundred people, men, women, and children in a village fell into a pool of blood. Why, isn't the Ye family not enough? They have to pay compensation.
A person in the village stumbled, and Ye Yinfeng could hardly stand. He calmed down his mood. Holding on to a big tree beside the village road, Si Xu returned to the time he spent in this small mountain village.
, his mind was filled with the smiles of those simple and honest farmers, and he replayed them over and over again. His childhood playmates, Aunt Wang, Zhang Niang, and Old Uncle Niu, all their faces and figures, were hovering in front of him.
in mind.
At this time, the bright moon had been completely swallowed up by the black sky, and the pitch-black night came. After a long time, Ye Yinfeng calmed down his emotions, turned around and left the small mountain village, heading towards the south.
A bleak figure and a yellow dog gradually disappeared into the vast darkness.
??????
Dingyuan County is a small county south of the Huaihe River in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Dingyuan County, South Street, the palace of the Huangfu family is located at the very beginning of this South Street.
Huangfu Yi was sitting in the hall of his house, sipping the top-quality green tea he bought from Soochow. While sipping the tea, he was thinking about how to run the business of official salt. He took a beautiful sip of the tea and felt a strong aroma of it.
The fragrance like a girl's body fragrance lingered back and forth in his nostrils. Huangfu Yi greedily inhaled the scent of tea scattered around with his nose. The ten thousand taels of silver borrowed from the Ye family should be enough to give those officials home
They took care of it,
In Dingyuan County, Huangfu Yi is undoubtedly very successful, but how can he be satisfied with the tea business where he can only earn a small profit? Official salt is a hugely profitable business. After only obtaining the management rights from the government, then
The money might as well have flowed into my pocket.
At this time, the housekeeper from Huangfu's house walked in, seemingly in a hurry, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Master, master, something serious has happened."
"It's such a big deal, I'm in a hurry, and I'm so old and still so fussy," Huangfu Yi seemed to be interrupted from his beautiful reverie. He was a little angry, but his tone didn't feel a little heavier.
"The Ye family, the Ye family's courtyard seems to have been burned down by fire. The Ye family's people are missing. Moreover, in the mountain village where the Ye family is located, hundreds of people were all killed overnight." The old housekeeper was out of breath.
He said breathlessly.
"What, say it again," Huangfu Yi really hadn't heard clearly what the old butler said, and the damn old man spoke so quickly.
The old housekeeper repeated it again.
With a "clang", Huangfu Yi was stunned. The tea cup in his hand sank and fell to the ground. Tea splashed all over the floor. He quickly asked what was going on.
The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and started talking. It turned out that the old housekeeper went to the street and passed by the gate of the county government office. He saw the county government office servants and the policeman setting off from the county government office in a serious manner. The county magistrate also mounted his horse and was waiting to go. He
He grabbed a yamen servant and asked him, and the yamen servant told him that someone went to Qingshan Village to visit relatives, only to find that hundreds of people in the village were killed overnight, and the Ye family in Qingshan Village was also burned to ashes overnight.
The person was missing, so he hurriedly came to the county government office to report the case. The county magistrate was leading people to investigate the case.
After listening to the old butler's story, Huangfu Yi's expression immediately dimmed. He quickly ordered the old butler to go to the Ye family's tea house to check if Ye Chongye, the second master of the Ye family, was still there. The old butler responded and immediately went out.
After the old housekeeper went out, Huangfu Yi sighed. No matter who else was in the Ye family, he would find a way to find them. At the same time, he was also a little worried. He vaguely felt that the people who killed Qingshan Village and the people who burned the Ye family seemed to be the same.
The people seemed to be heading towards the Ye family, and those people in the village were just the burial companions of the Ye family.
After almost a quarter of an hour, the old housekeeper came back, and Huangfuhui, Huangfuyi's son, came back with him. The old housekeeper immediately reported to Huangfuyi: "Ye Chongye's family of four are also missing, and the teahouse is still there.
Yes, but everyone here is gone, including the waiters at the teahouse."
After hearing this, Huangfu Yi looked serious and kept frowning. He ordered the old housekeeper to gather all the servants and search throughout Dingyuan County to see if he could find anyone left behind by the Ye family.
"Dad, who do you think he could be, who would do such an outrageous thing? Besides, the Ye family shouldn't have any enemies." Huangfuhui asked his father in confusion.
"I don't know, either. I guess they are powerful people in the world. I will also ask some friends in the world. You can also ask your master. Although our family has business dealings with the Ye family, there are some regular interactions.
Friendship, although my father is a businessman, he also knows the word 'righteousness'. Whether we can find the other members of the Ye family this time depends on God. You don't have to worry too much." Huangfu Yi said helplessly.
On this day, Huangfu Yi didn't sleep the whole night, and kept walking back and forth in front of his bedroom window, while the candlelight in Huangfu Hui's bedroom stayed on all night.
