Chapter 30 Assassin's Blood Case I
With a woman's scream, then a man's scream came from An Zhiping's room.
A group of people rushed into An Zhiping's room together without knowing what had happened.
I saw Miss Zhou lying next to An Zhiping wrapped in a quilt and exposed **, while An Zhiping sat ** with an embarrassed face and looked at Miss Zhou beside him.
Everyone stared at the two people who were **. Only Ling Tianhong turned his head with a smile and looked at Mr. Zhou with a blue face: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, for getting a fast son-in-law."
Others also echoed congratulations to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan's face keeps twitching. What's going on? Last night, he had carried Ling Tianhong into his daughter's room. How could his daughter run to An Zhiping's room? Now everyone has seen how good it is.
An Zhiping didn't understand what was going on. He only remembered that he drank too much. Later, he seemed to find a woman lying beside him and gave her in a daze...
Think about it again, Zhou's family is also the richest man in Wuzhou City. Miss Zhou is also quite beautiful. Many people can't ask for it. Now this good thing has spread to her. Thinking about it, she is happy, and a smile can't help but appear on her face.
At this time, Zhou Manting pulled the sheet on her face and cried sadly. What's going on? Last night, they were already **. How could it be like this this morning?
Mr. Zhou's face was extremely ugly, pointing to **: "You... You..." Looking at my daughter covering her face and crying, she couldn't help sighing: "This matter... In that case... Choose a day to do it."
"Thank you, father-in-law." An Zhiping immediately knelt down and saluted at **.
When Mr. Zhou saw him salute, he walked away angrily.
Zhou Manting was howled and cried when she heard this.
Ling Tianhong shook his head with a smile, but Yan'er's punishment was a little heavy.
An Zhiping stayed and married Zhou Manting, and the others followed Ling Tianhong to Beijing. The former bodyguards of the Imperial Palace not only had to be good at martial arts, but also needed to be assessed in all aspects of character and quality. After a period of assessment, the bodyguards decided which department to assign it to.
And Ling Tianhong's selection can be directly led by him, and there is no need for the bodyguard to carry out the deployment.
As a qualified imperial bodyguard, the basic rules still need to be learned, so Ling Tianhong still needs to lead them to the bodyguards to study for a period of time. The biggest advantage of the bodyguards is that they can learn the upper-level martial arts in a short time.
Because Ling Tianhong has the emperor's permission, his subordinates not only protect the emperor's safety, but also listen to the emperor's deployment to various places to eradicate corrupt officials at any time. The most important thing is to secretly receive favorable evidence of the collusion between Luo Taishi Wu Kui and the Western Regions.
It is really difficult for the emperor to bring down Wu Kui. Wu Kui is over the government, and many of his students are also inclined to him. If you want to eradicate Wu Kui, you must find evidence that he colluded with the country.
Ling Tianhong was promoted to the deputy commander of the imperial bodyguard by the emperor. His first task was to collect Luo Wu Kui's criminal evidence among the people, because there was a deep blood feud between Ling Tianhong and Wu Kui.
The emperor received a secret report from Zhang Boliang, the assassin of Huaicheng, and Wu Kui had some criminal evidence in his hand, and then sent Ling Tianhong and others to protect and obtain the criminal evidence in his hand.
Ling Tianhong rushed to the Shaanxi Assassin's Mansion with ten subordinates, but saw that the front of the Assassin's Mansion was already full of onlookers.
Jumping off the horse and hearing someone say in my ear, "What a tragedy! There are more than a dozen mouths in the whole house.
"Isn't it? This assassin is a good official. Who is so crazy to kill such a good official, and he also kills the whole house without letting go of his servants."
"The loss of the people..."
Ling Tianhong pushed away the crowd and walked quickly inside.
It was still late. I only saw blood stains everywhere, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground. The scene was terrible. A beautiful young woman who walked to the hall was tied to the pillar, her clothes were not neat, and her chest was half exposed, as if she had been humiliated.
Presumably this woman must be Mrs. Assassin, with a fatal injury on her neck; Zhang Boliang lay at her feet, and a long blood stain extends from the hall to his body; it must be that he was hit by the sword and crawled all the way to his wife's feet.
"Check to see if there are any live mouths." Ling Tianhong squatted down and turned Zhang Boliang's body over.
I saw three sword marks on the stomach of Zhang Boliang's robe. He was hit by three swords and lost too much blood.
Ling Tianhong walked into the inner room, and several inner rooms were turned over in a mess. It seemed that the other party could not find anything and killed his mouth. Presumably the assassin's wife was also humiliated.
This method is in line with Wu Kui's method. He thought that the Tieshan Temple was washed by him. Now the assassin's mansion has also been washed by blood. Wu Kui, an old thief, is extremely cruel.
"A total of 17 people died, including a three-year-old girl." Shangguan Ming looked at Ling Tianhong standing indoors and looking at the wall and medited.
"If you were Zhang Boliang, where would you hide the most important thing?" Ling Tianhong looked back at Shangguan Ming. After getting along with each other for a period of time, he found that Shangguan Ming had a keen mind.
"It depends on who he is defending against people like Wu Kui. Of course, Wu Kui can naturally think of the place he can think of." Shangguan Ming also looked around the room, which had been turned messy. It was not easy to find some clues from it.
"How many people did you just say died?" Ling Tianhong suddenly thought of something.
"Seventeen, including a three-year-old girl." Shangguan Ming repeated it.
"No, as far as I know, Bo Liang has a son. He should be about four years old. You can look for it carefully."
If Zhang Boliang's son is missing, then he is either captured by Wu Kui or taken away, and it is very likely that Wu Kui is hiding what he wants or knows where it is.
At this time, Wu Dayu ran in and said, "My lord, there are people next to the well in the backyard, and there is still a breath left."
"Go" Ling Tianhong hurriedly followed him to the well in the backyard.
He squatted down and touched his breath, and then sat him on the ground: "Help him." Then luck lost some of the true qi in his body to him.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ling Tianhong in front of him.
Ling Tianhong hurriedly asked, "Who did it? Is it Wu Kui?
The other party tilted his head and nodded with difficulty. Looking at Ling Tianhong's big leader's uniform, he opened his mouth and said something.
"Shing up, we can't hear you clearly." Ling Tianhong put his ear close to his mouth.
"... Young master..." I could only hear him say the word young master.
"What's wrong with your young master?"
"Young master... Nanshan..."
"Is your young master in Nanshan?" Ling Tianhong asked anxiously, seeing that he was about to die, but he just spit out four words.
"South... Mountain..." After saying that, his head tilted and his breath was broken.
"He's dead."
Ling Tianhong stood up and squeezed his lips tightly, thinking that the young master Nanshan mentioned by the servants should be his young master in Nanshan.
"Go quickly and find out what relatives and friends Zhang Boliang has in Nanshan."
Wu Dayu turned around and left immediately. Shangguan Ming said, "Since we have found that Zhang Boliang's son is missing, Wu Kui will also find that maybe he is also looking for the whereabouts of the child."
"Well, so we have to find it before Wu Kui finds him."
"Wang Yue, you and Song Dahai, stay here first. The others will go to Nanshan with me, and everyone will meet in Nanshan." Ling Tianhong stood up and walked out.
The seven-person fast horse galloped in the direction of Nanshan.
Nanshan is a small town, which is nearly a hundred miles away from Huaicheng. The town is surrounded by water on all sides, like a moat. The mountains outside the river are green, the trees on the mountain are lush, and the green bamboos become gloomy.
An official road circled up, and the trees on both sides of the road were lush, and the green trees turned cloudy.
At this time, he caught up with a fast horse.
Ling Tianhong slowed down. When he approached, it turned out to be Wu Dayu: "Da Yu, you caught up so quickly. Did you find out?"
"Well, just out of the way to Zhang Boliang's relative's house, an old man stopped me. It turned out that he was an old servant of the Zhang family, so I asked Nanshan Zhang's family if he had relatives..."
Ling Tianhong urged, "You say the point."
"Zhangjia Nanshan has no relatives and friends, but some people are from Nanshan."
"In this way, the subordinate took Master Zhang away and hid him in Nanshan. Do you know what his surname is?"
"Surname Qin"
"There are not many surnames. It's not difficult to find them. Let's move forward quickly." After saying that, he quickly went to Nanshan Town.
Just as he was about to enter the town, Ling Tianhong saw a group of people in front of him riding out of the town, with a child in his hand, and one of the people behind him was immediately tied to a man.
Ling Tianhong saw that this scene must be the child and the subordinate they were looking for.
When the other party saw Ling Tianhong's group coming, he hurriedly turned his horse's head in the other direction.
"Chasing..." Ling Tianhong took the lead in chasing him.
The front seven fast horses rushed forward, and the eight fast horses in the back chased them desperately.
As the distance got closer and closer, Ling Tianhong took out the silver from his arms, threw it, hit a person, and dropped the horse; then jumped up and kicked the man holding the child, and immediately kicked him off the horse.
Ling Tianhong quickly took the child from his hand and turned to Ma Yingjie: "Take good care of the child." He immediately fought with the other party's leader.
When the others saw the leader falling off the horse, they all got off the horse, and the two sides formed a ball.
The sound of sword collision was everywhere. Ma Yingjie took care of the child and put down the man tied to the horse's back, and the others fought one-on-one.
Ling Tianhong stayed by Ma Yingjie's side and didn't let people get close to the child and the man. Ma Yingjie also waved a knife to protect him.
The victory or defeat of the one-on-one battle was soon clear, and the advantage was obviously inclined to Ling Tianhong's side.
The other party's move seems to kill Ling Tianhong with one move. Each move is fierce enough to be fatal. Ling Tianhong's light skills and swordsmanship are good, and soon the upper hand.
Ling Tianhong quickly waved the long sword in his hand against the other party. A cold light went straight to the other party's throat. Before the sword arrived, the sword spirit had arrived first.
The leader just dodged his foot and failed to avoid the sword. He only felt that his neck was cold. Ling Tianhong's sword had cut his throat, and blood spewed out along his neck.
