Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 127

The Fuwei Escort took over Jipi Lane, which was not only the arrangement of the Jingnan Palace, but also the outpost of the Geng family entering Fuzhou City. Lin Zhennan did not dare to neglect at all.

He doesn't have to care about the behavior of sobering up and switching defenses, but he must be active enough.

However, when the No. 80 men and horses of the Fuwei Escort came to the entrance of Jipi Alley, a soldier left behind by the Geng family was bleeding from all seven orifices, his bones were broken, and he refused to die in Jipi Under the archway in the alley!

Escorts are also good players in the rivers and lakes, and they have special experience in trauma examinations. They quickly determined that he was approached from behind and smashed the bones of the sky with such a powerful palm that he didn't even have time to shout. die.

The guards were inexplicably panicked, and there are very few people in the Jianghu who have such palm power. If this person sneaks into Fuzhou City, he can set off boundless storms at any time and make everyone restless.

In the eyes of many bodyguards, Boss Lin was much calmer, his eyes wandered around the dead body and he was lost in thought, but his heart was like a turbulent sea.

"You guys take the corpse to the government office, remember to walk slowly on the way."

The rivers and lakes in Fuzhou City are not too complicated, and Lin Zhennan basically knows who can have such strength on the surface.

For example, the Red Sun Sacred Child of the White Lotus Sect who often haunts Fuzhou is famous for his internal strength. Although he looks like a child, he is terrifying in his brutality. If it were him, he would be able to do this easily.

However, what Lin Zhennan was worried about was not the danger of the enemy.

After all, no matter how vicious the opponent is, the Fuwei Escort Bureau also has Jingnan Prince's Mansion as the backing, and Hongyang Shengtong took the initiative to offend the Geng family.

What he was most worried about was that Jiang Wen would kill someone.

Based on what he knew about Jiang Wen, he must have already been to Jipi Lane.Lin Zhennan would not be surprised by what Jiang Wen did to satisfy his curiosity.

And Lin Zhennan, who walked the rivers and lakes together in the early years, also knew very well that Jiang Wen was good at a fierce and unparalleled palm technique.

Once Jiang Wen is involved actively or unintentionally, even if it only leaves some traces that shouldn't be there, what Jiang Wen must face is an extremely dangerous situation...

Fortunately, just as he was hesitating, a figure in Jipi Lane flew in the air, and suddenly rushed towards the distant alleyway.

"Come on!"

After only a moment's hesitation, Lin Zhennan ordered his bodyguards to pursue him. Looking from a height, the torches in the surrounding alleys faltered and merged into one, winding westward like a fire dragon, chasing a dark and unclean black spot. The momentum is mighty.

Lin Zhennan's eyes were fixed on the distance like lightning, trying to tell if this figure was Jiang Wen.

If it is, then he must catch up with him to protect him first; if not, he must capture the other party to remove Jiang Wen's suspicion.

Hoping on the team of corpse-reporting officers to buy time, Lin Zhennan led his men in constant pursuit, and finally approached a weird alley with dimly lit lights, but the leading figure suddenly disappeared.

"Chief dart head!"

"Chief dart head!"

With a sound of respectful shouts, dozens of well-dressed men gathered in the alley, and the blazing torches illuminated the surrounding fields, forming a continuous patch, and the firelight also reflected their nervous eyebrows and eyes.

Lin Zhennan came forward with a sword in his hand, and walked vigorously, and said to Shi Biaotou, who entered first, "Did you find anything unusual?"

The smell of alcohol from the previous night had completely dissipated from Captain Shi, and he said in a low voice, "The black shadow suddenly flew in from the alley, and the way it passed through the wall looked like a ghost. I heard the sound of a fight coming from inside." I dare not let the brothers go in hastily, for fear that there will be monsters ambushing inside..."

Lin Zhennan nodded slowly, letting the bodyguards with all kinds of weapons stand ready. He also stared at the towering walls on both sides of Nether Alley, staring at the moss marks that symbolized uneasiness.

"Prepare the flying claws to climb over the wall and sneak in from the corner of the courtyard. Don't disturb the people inside."

Lin Zhennan became more and more uneasy in his heart, but his face was still commanding the escort with a dignified and calm face.

The ropes were thrown onto the wall one by one, and several bodyguards with strong stature and extraordinary physical strength climbed up with sharp knives in their mouths, silently trying to occupy the dangerous terrain so as to attack from inside and outside.

The corners of the courtyard are occupied, the center is blooming, condescending, waiting for work at leisure.

This is the strategy Lin Zhennan prepared.

But just as the second group of people stood close to the courtyard wall, guarding an imperceptible small door, the door suddenly opened, a gust of stale air billowed out, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees .

"Why are you, Brother Lin?"

A voice seemed very surprised.

"Jiang Wen?!"

Lin Zhennan was also surprised.

"... Good evening, everyone."

Jiang Wen's figure slowly appeared, and he looked extremely embarrassed when he saw the mobilizing crowd at the door, "Brother Lin, why did you call so many people to protect me, otherwise I would invite everyone to have supper after work?"

Lin Zhennan almost tore off a lock of his beard.

"Zilu, why are you in there! That person just now was really you?!"

Jiang Wen puzzled and said, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? It's clear that you surrounded this place, so why ask me instead?"

Jiang Wen shrugged, "When I was in the courtyard and heard the movement outside, I guessed that it was planning to outflank the two wings and break through the center, so why not come out first to avoid accidental injury. Since they are all our own people, let's retreat quickly, the thieves inside I have been beaten away, and now I must 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: "Then did you see someone rushing into the yard just now?"

Jiang Wen nodded: "A hideously ugly ghost-faced man came here, and his movements are very strange. Are you chasing him?"

"The guards, Shi and Zheng, lead people to guard the door, don't let anyone in! Zilu, let's take a step to talk..."

Lin Zhennan ordered the bodyguards, and walked into the door together with Jiang Wen, and instantly saw the terrifying scene of corpses standing like a forest in the courtyard.

"This!!"

"It's okay, they are all 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: "There is a lot of fog 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 a few rounds, but the other party 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 of them opened a narrow corner cabinet, only to find that someone had knelt and hugged shoulders into a ball, the skin was scratched by his own fingers, and he was firmly embedded in the square inch with the bone shrinking technique, and died with his eyes open for a long time.

"This look... seems to be scared to death..."

Lin Zhennan looked closely at it for a moment and made a judgment, "He wanted to avoid being chased and hid himself in the cabinet, 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 with the ghost-faced man, he could still speak to us, Maybe he died in that short quarter of an hour..."

"Huh? What did he tell you?" Lin Zhennan asked.

Jiang Wen thought about it for a while: "It's all just talking about it, anyway, it's not 'allow me to live', that's right..."

Lin Zhennan was about to speak, when suddenly there was another booming sound from outside the alley, as if another large group of people surrounded Youming Alley, including the Fuwei Escort Bureau.

The two turned out of the courtyard, and stood with the restless bodyguards, looking at the direction of the alley in the half-light, guessing who came again.

As the footsteps became clearer, Geng Jingzhong's figure appeared first, panting because he was galloping on the road, he said to Lin Zhennan: "Boss Lin, what happened here!"

Lin Zhennan clasped his hands nervously and said, "Report to Your Majesty, there was a murder case in Jipi Lane, and I led people to chase it here!"

Then he pointed his hand at Jiang Wen, "The house guest just entered first, and fought with the murderer for a few rounds, but unfortunately he let the murderer escape - another dead person was found inside, the cause of death is unknown."

All the bodyguards immediately lowered their weapons and bowed their hands in salute, secretly admiring Lin Zhennan's quick wit, and immediately interpreted the suspicious scene of swords and swords as a well-thought-out attack.

"Any clues?"

"My lord, I suspect that this incident was done by the Red Sun Holy Child of the White Lotus Sect."

After Lin Zhennan finished speaking, Geng Jingzhong seemed relieved, and turned his head and said loudly behind him.

"Master Imperial Envoy, please take a look, our Jingnan Palace has already controlled the situation, so you don't need to worry about it!"

These words were full of gunpowder, but there were even more heavy footsteps at the entrance of the alley, and a figure like an iron tower suddenly appeared, so that the light of the torches in Nether Alley was obscured by a bit.

"The son is still too gullible, this matter is not that simple!"

The answers were also tit-for-tat, but Jiang Wen saw a muscular monk with a layer of short stubble and wearing a monk's robe who came in. He had thick brows, a hideous appearance, and his eyes were full of steadfastness. Hostility, no mercy of a monk.

This imperial envoy turned out to be a monk?
The monk was more than a step above Geng Jingzhong, and he didn't pay any attention to Geng Jingzhong's intention of chasing away guests.

"The trauma of the deceased is clear, but no one has seen the murderer. I think the murderer is probably the one who was discovered at first, but he deliberately shouted and arrested the thief, trying to get away with it!"

He fixed his eyes on the men and horses of the Fuwei Escort Bureau, and deliberately stayed in front of Lin Zhennan for a few seconds, "Especially when we entered the city, we happened to meet the corpse transport team and they were carrying the Escort Bureau's flag. It is going to be sent to the government office, I think it is actually to destroy the corpse!"

Regardless of whether you do good or evil, if you use this method of judgment regardless of your heart, then every action can be analyzed into many different meanings, and everyone has different motives.

Lin Zhennan remained silent, and just held his hands against each other. He could see that the other party's menacing approach was not aimed at him, but more against the Geng family. Forcibly distinguishing himself might not be effective.

"Master Imperial Envoy, Head of Escort Lin and Fuwei Escort Bureau are taking over here under my order, there is absolutely no possibility of killing anyone!"

Geng Jingzhong shook his sleeves and said, the accompanying Geng family soldiers are all elites in all battles, following behind Geng Jingzhong with a murderous look, not inferior to the lineup on the opposite side, each of them raised their knives and stared angrily.

"If there is no ghost in your heart, then go to the government office together and be interrogated by this imperial envoy, and you will be cleared of your innocence! What do you think, my son?"

The monk laughed very ugly, and put forward another plan in a retreat.

Geng Jingzhong wanted to refuse flatly, but he just took a look at Lin Zhennan, saw the other party nodding slightly, and instantly had an idea in his mind.

Geng Jingzhong said arrogantly: "Since ancient times, there has been no crime without punishment, and no crime should go unpunished. How can there be any reason to arrest people for verification? Doesn't this mean that they will be tortured?"

Then Lin Zhennan spoke decisively.

"Thank you for your enlightenment, but I, Fuwei Escort Bureau, are loyal and never overstep. If this lord is worried, you can start the inspection from me, the head of the bodyguard!"

This move is very ingenious. Originally, the monk used legal principles to suppress people and wanted to force everyone to find the real culprit. Geng Jingzhong expressed his opposition and would only fall into a passive position.

But now he changed his identity and became Geng Jingzhong to express his opposition. Lin Zhennan was willing to cooperate for the sake of his face, and the monk was roasted on the fire.

——Alright, didn't you say that Fuwei Escort was the murderer?Then you are a prophet to say, which one of us is the murderer?
The monk can and can only start to investigate from Lin Zhennan and others at this time.If it is found out that Lin Zhennan is not the murderer, and neither are the escorts, then the legal rationality of his behavior will be greatly weakened, and it will become a completely unreasonable trouble, and Geng Jingzhong will win.

But the strange thing is that the monk ordered his subordinates to carry up the bloody corpse with a solemn face.

"The murderer's palm is extremely powerful, and he walks in a fierce way. 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. He thinks he is a master in the inner circle. Let's start with you to test it!"

The monk suddenly looked at Jiang Wen across the crowd, his 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 murderers hiding in the dark?"

The monk said coldly: "You also want to say that it is the White Lotus Sect that has disappeared?"

"No and no."

Jiang Wen smiled casually, and said to the monk: "Of course what the master said makes sense. I think you have overlapping calluses and wide metacarpal bones. You should take the path of external kung fu training. It is also necessary to smash the sky of a living person." Easy, right?"

The monk frowned and said coldly: "This imperial envoy entered the city with Geng Shizi tonight and just arrived in Fuzhou. Are you suspicious of this imperial envoy?!"

Jiang Wen shook his head lightly: "Don't dare, since there are witnesses, of course I don't dare to guess randomly. But I also have witnesses, I don't know where Daoist Chang Qingzi is now, he has a chance with me tonight, so he should be able to give me testify."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Geng Jingzhong and the monk 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 the situation was not good.

Then someone came from outside the alley, dragged a corpse and put it side by side with the corpses of the soldiers on the ground. It was the tall and ancient Chang Qingzi of the Qingcheng School, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and had no breath at this time. It's been a long time since the earth died!
"Just now we were outside the alley next to the Duren Pagoda and saw an arm protruding. This Taoist priest has been beaten to death, and the way of death is exactly the same as before!"

The monk looked at Jiang Wen aggressively, almost lightning flashed from his eyes.

"There are many suspicions on you, so hurry up and get rid of the law!"

Lin Zhennan's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wen will never kill anyone! The murderer must be someone else!"

Geng Jingzhong also looked at Lin Zhennan and Jiang Wen suspiciously, took a deep breath, and continued to look at the monk.

"Even though the Imperial Envoy has the sacred decree, he is not guarding the heavens, is he? We should be responsible for the accidents of the troops recruited by my Jingnan Palace. It is quite inappropriate for you to act like this."

The monk suddenly laughed, and took out a piece of paper from the arms of his subordinates.

"My son is worrying too much. In addition to the imperial decree, I also received a personal order from King Jingnan, ordering me to refrain from persuading my son to go beyond the rules. The prince also said that if you behave dissolutely, you should go back to the manor and think about your mistakes. In this way, The son can decide for himself!"

Geng Jingzhong only looked at a corner, and he could see 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 there be such a document leaked out now?What happened to the palace?
As a piece of paper fell lightly in front of Geng Jingzhong, the young man stood there as if struck by lightning, his face turned blue and white, and he spoke slowly under Lin Zhennan's incredulous gaze.

"In this case, the suspect will be put in prison..."

"Retrial at another date..."

Lin Zhennan said hastily: "Your Majesty! I would like to guarantee with the name of Fuwei Escort Bureau that Jiang Wen has absolutely no suspicion..."

Geng Jingzhong sighed and said before the monk.

"Boss Lin, the Fuwei Escort is also involved this time, so it's not appropriate to cause more trouble. You also go back to thank the guests behind closed doors, and don't go out at will until the matter is cleared up."

After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, walked out of the alley surrounded by his own soldiers with a complicated expression, and galloped away.
