"The deceased, Zhong Jibo's concubine was once detained, and he was the son of a third-room concubine, who was twenty-one years old and had good qualifications. ”

A quaint hall, busy and quiet, a unique voice sounded calmly in the hall, "In the spring of the sixteenth year of Qingying, Ming went out to travel, but he actually offended his son-in-law and was exiled for a year as punishment. On the eighth day of the second month of spring, when I went to Zhongyi County, Shunqing Prefecture, I met Chen Mengji, the daughter of Chen Qitang, the head of the Zhongyi Chen family, and they had the intention of marrying each other, so they traveled together and were killed in the gladiatorial arena. ”

This voice tells the life of the son surnamed Zeng who was killed by Liu Heng, concise but extremely detailed, and there is no omission.

"Who's the murderer?"

At this time, another voice sounded, also asking lightly.

The person who made the statement stood at the bottom of the hall, flipped through the scroll in his hand, and after reading it, closed it again, "It has not yet been ascertained." ”

"How long?"

There are three tables in the hall, and the man sitting in the middle has a chest and beautiful hair, the floor is round, the heavenly court is full, and his majesty is self-revealed, but he is burying the case and writing something, but it is not him who asks. There was a white-haired old man sitting at the first table on the right, who was also reading a book, and took the time to ask the person who made the statement.

"About a day and three hours. ”

When the white-haired old man heard this, he stretched out his hand to find the many files on the table, "The closest to the place where the crime occurred is the Baihe Hou lineage, and he is ordered to cooperate with Zhong Jibo and the family to chase the murderer and return to the case as soon as possible." On the imperial court's side, the local officials were requested to cooperate in a thorough investigation of the case, and the cause of the matter must be ascertained. As for the Chen family, send someone to ask for the crime, and see how they give an explanation, if they are not interested, they should let the people from the Broken Enemy Hall come out. ”

"Yes!"

The person who stated the statement was about to receive the order to leave, but the person on the left said abruptly: "This holy battle is different from the past, it is a change that has never been seen in the past, and it is an unprecedented change in the past, present and future, and no abnormality can be ignored. For example, I think it is better to find out whether the murder was an accident or a deliberate scheme, and if it is a deliberate scheme, I am afraid that it is a serial scheme to lure the snake out of the hole, and it is better to be cautious. ”

"Brother Xiju, I am afraid that this statement is unfounded, right?" The old man on the right raised his head and said disappreciatively: "No matter how fierce the holy struggle is, what does it have to do with our saint family? It is to offend the new saint, can it be that we can still push my saint family to succeed? It is suspected that there is a plot behind it, and those who have such courage are nothing more than other families, under the protection of ancestral weapons, who dares to start a war easily?"

The old man on the left raised his eyebrows, "Do you really have no worries about everything when you are a saint family? Who can know what this holy battle is like? If you don't destroy a few saint families, how dare you be asserted by the saints as a great change unprecedented in ancient and modern times? If you still have such a dismissive attitude, it will be difficult for my Zeng family to guarantee that there will be difficulties in the future for the accumulation of ants to break the embankment!"

"You're talking nonsense!" the old man on the right stood up and scolded angrily.

Seeing that the two old men were about to quarrel if they disagreed, the beautiful bearded man in the center finally put down his pen, "Xijubo and Zi Zhanbo have their own reasons, and the holy dispute has started, even if we immortal families should still be vigilant." ”

This is a foregone conclusion, one of the two old men showed a happy face, the other frowned and was dissatisfied, and after all, they did not argue anymore, and they all bowed their hands to the beautiful man, "Yes." ”

"From now on, we must be more attentive to any trouble, and let's start with this matter. The haired man picked up the pen again, "Strictly investigate the ins and outs to determine if there is someone behind this matter." In addition, the elders of the law enforcement hall should be convened to meet and agree on the attitude of the outside world during the holy dispute, and what kind of attitude they will take in response to various changes, and they must come up with a charter as soon as possible. ”

At this moment, not only the two old men left and right, but the entire hall was heard in unison. At this time, it was found that there were so many people in the Nuoda Palace, and hundreds of people temporarily put down their errands, and the beautiful bearded man respectfully was.

When it was over, everyone was busy again, and it seemed to be busier than before.

It seems that a huge machine is speeding up and will return to full operation.

A decision was made here, and soon dozens of people hurriedly dispersed from the main hall and rushed to the surrounding temples to convey the order. In a short time, hundreds of people rode or rode out, and after leaving the palace, only a small half rushed towards the huge city not far away, and more people and horses rose into the air, turned into a thick cloud, and rode the wind south.

The original site of Zhongyi County has now gathered more and more "outsiders".

The people of the whole city who were affected by the previous "natural disaster" wanted to bury their relatives who died in the natural disaster in grief, or repair the damaged homes, where did they dare to travel in this atmosphere, and they huddled in the corners to keep warm, trembling and looking at the "outsiders" who looked at them.

These outsiders came from all directions, most of them were officers and soldiers, catchers or government officials, and they were lined with banners, as if the people in the court of the entire Shunqing Mansion had gathered in Zhongyi County.

In the midst of the ruins, clearing only the main street and large open spaces, they set up camp and pounced on the original gladiatorial arena, the center of the disaster.

There were many more soldiers and horses who were aggressive and slaughtered outside the city.

I heard that this time a noble man was assassinated and died in Zhongyi County, which caused such a natural disaster. This is only the beginning, because of the death of this great nobleman, I can't tell how many people will be buried with him, but anyone who is contaminated with the slightest involvement will not be able to escape the torture and torture of the end.

For a time, the wind was loud and everyone was in danger. Even the most unclear people know that a catastrophe is coming, and their hearts are sad, and they only know how to protect their wives and children, but they don't know when such days will come to an abrupt end.

"The arresters of the Shengzeng family have already set off, and if the time is calculated, it will be in two or three days at most. Chen Qitang, the head of the Chen family, said.

At this time of chaos, Chen Qitang met with the county commander in a quiet and dark place for some reason. Hearing this, the county magistrate said: "I heard that they also brought the Yu order of the Shengzeng Family Law Enforcement Hall, and asked the Baihe Hou Zeng clan to also send people to cooperate with Zhong Jibo and his family to investigate this matter, and with this matter as a starting point, they will agree on the attitude of the Shengzeng clan to the outside world during the holy dispute." ”

"This is the first family of saints to put the word holy contention on the table. Chen Qitang's eyes were far away, "It seems that the holy dispute that has been rumored to be true must be true, and maybe it will be a big change that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, otherwise the saint family will not be so nervous." ”

"The great world is coming, where is there a place to live?"

The county magistrate sighed, "Let's not mention these for the time being, let's deal with the current level first." ”

"Did you find any new information over there?" asked Chen Qitang.

The county commander shook his head, "The incident happened in your gladiatorial arena, we will cooperate with you at most, and now we have thoroughly investigated the strangers who have been in and out in the past six months, and there seems to be no too suspicious person." However, the 128 villages under the rule of your Chen family have heard that many of them have received the news and are preparing to evacuate overnight. ”

Chen Qitang snorted and sneered, "These Diao people, who looked obedient in the past, must still have resentment in their hearts, maybe this is their plan, and they use this to trap my Chen family's poisonous plan." Now that something has happened, my Chen family has suffered greatly, and they want to slip away, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"Don't worry, every village has chess pieces that we have planted, even if they want to escape, they don't want to escape from my Chen family's legal net. Chen Qitang said: "Besides, where can these individualized people flee to? They just want to drill into the mountains and forests to avoid trouble, they don't know how big the matter is this time, and if they escape to the ends of the earth, they will not escape responsibility!"

The county magistrate glanced at him, "Since your Chen family is so sure, then the official will not intervene much, if there is any news, communicate more, and use the place where the county government can be used, even if you open your mouth, we will definitely help this time." ”

The two secretly exchanged a lot of news, and then left one after another at night.

......

"No, it's been quite cold in the city these days. ”

"Zhong Yixian has such a big thing, don't you know?"

In Yingcheng, the capital of Shunqing Prefecture, a teahouse is crowded, and everything is about Zhongyi County. Perhaps because it was not their business, most people were in high spirits, and took it as proof that they were well-informed, and the speaker talked endlessly, and the listener was very excited.

At a tea table near the window of the teahouse, a white-haired old man sat by the window, drinking tea and listening to the conversation.

The old man sat for most of the day, until night fell, and the teahouse, which had been noisy all day, began to close the stalls, and he put down the tea money and walked out slowly. The next day, the old man went to another winery, and sat for most of the day, and did not leave until late at night.

"Even the news of how many people the Zeng family sent to investigate the case can be heard, it is worthy of being the capital, and the news is well-informed. Walking out of the winery, the old man was a little emotional, carrying a pot of wine, and his figure staggered into the night.

This is naturally Liu Heng.

Although he made up his mind to make some trouble for the Zeng family, on the one hand to attract the attention of the pursuers, and on the other hand, to vent his dissatisfaction, when he was really ready to act, Liu Heng was not impulsive.

He used the Dahong Temple to escape from the bottom of the Sihe River, and it only took one day and one night to cross thousands of miles and enter Yingcheng, the capital of Shunqing Prefecture.

Liu Heng was quite careful before entering the city, and deliberately reused a skin bag from "The Appearance of All Beings", so he entered the city. Who wanted to really enter the city, only to find that the atmosphere of Yingcheng had not changed much, and it was still idle and loose, but because most of the government forces were transferred to Zhongyi County, the garrison became more and more lax. Not only that, but he went to a well-informed place like the Teahouse for two days and heard a piece of news that made him laugh and cry.

Because of the blow supported by the overlord, the gladiatorial arena was almost completely destroyed, and many clues were destroyed, resulting in the fact that the real culprit was Liu Heng, which has not been exposed until now.

However, the situation has not been gloomy.

Maybe it was because Chengping had been in peace for too long, and such a big event suddenly happened, and the entire Shunqing Mansion was very nervous, and a large number of people from various counties were transferred to Zhongyi County to gather together, which was like a posture of turning over Zhongyi County. And the head snake Chen family, Gayin seems to have a lot to do with this matter, and they also poured out, and all branches and veins sent elite soldiers and fierce generals to kill Zhong Yixian together.

And the real behemoth, the Zeng family, also officially stated.

The Zeng family sent a note to the Chen family and ordered him to give an explanation, otherwise he would be cut off from righteousness and regarded as an enemy.

This can scare the Chen family a lot, because everyone knows that the only one who can block the attack of the saint family is the saint family of the same level. For example, the Chen family, don't look at how proud they were in the past, they can't be compared with the saint family at all, if they are really regarded as enemies, then the thousand-year-old glory will inevitably be wiped out.

How does the Chen family respond, there will definitely be no way to hear the relevant news on the streets of the market, and it must be very anxious. On the one hand, the Shengzeng family finally sent their own murderers, led by ten great martial artists and scholars, and was on the way to Shunqing Mansion.

"Judging by the market news, the Shengzeng family can be said to be the biggest move in hundreds of years, and there are still some inside stories in it, but it is unknown. Liu Heng found a secluded and dim corner, and after setting up a temporary formation, he merged with the mud monkey again in it, and changed into a night suit that had already been prepared, covering up the extremely eye-catching features of the body as much as possible, "The murderer sent by the Shengzeng family last night has just hit the road, and with the distance of tens of thousands of miles between Shunqing Mansion and Kyoto, it will take about two days to arrive. ”

"Over there, I don't know what's going on?"

Liu Heng inevitably worried about that side, "The people of the Shengzeng family have not arrived, and the rest of the people from all parties will at most monitor the relevant people, but they dare not act rashly." But after all, there are too many people pouring in, and although the Li He clan has no worries about their lives for the time being, it will definitely be difficult to leave. I can only try to make more noise to restrain them from paying more attention, and whether the Li He can successfully evacuate can only depend on their own efforts and creation. ”

Liu Heng is destined to be unable to help with this matter, he can only do what he can do.

His gaze looked through the dark night, staring at the large mansion that occupied a large area in the center of Yingcheng City, and the door plaque of this mansion had a big "Zeng character" written on it.

This is the Zeng clan that lives in Yingcheng, the capital of Shunqing Prefecture, called Baihe Hou Zeng, which is just an ancestral home. The real main house is located outside the city of Yingcheng, like another city, here is said to be the ancestral house, in fact, it has already become a post station for the descendants of the Zeng family to stay temporarily in all parts of the world.

The reason why Liu Heng chose to attack here was not because he didn't dare to make a big deal about it, but because the main house outside the city was more heavily guarded, even if all the strong people were summoned to Zhongyi County, it was not a place that he could conquer on his own. Second, most of the people who stayed in the main house were old and weak women and children, except for the strong who were deeply hidden, they were actually people who did not have much strength, although Liu Heng wanted to take revenge, he was unwilling to choose these people to start, which was against his heart.

After all these considerations, this ancestral mansion is obviously a more suitable place to start than the main mansion outside the city.

"It's an ancestral house, if it is breached, the sensation will be no less than the attack on the main house. Moreover, the garrison force here is obviously ...... than the main house" Liu Heng narrowed his eyes and walked out of the shadows, "Too much laxity." ”
