sword sentient beings

Chapter 734 Preview

Standing inside the gate and looking in, Tang Zhao saw an unsightly scenery.

This mansion belongs to a royal family. The mansion is in compliance with regulations, spacious and gorgeous, but now it is in a mess.

The ground was covered with blood, flowing freely. The blood had turned dark red, far less dazzling than the blood in Ningshou Palace that day, but the amount was more than ten or a hundred times greater, flowing to every corner of the house. The bright red dirt in the cracks of the bricks on the ground records that there was blood and water floating here.

Of course, there are dead people in the pool of blood. Blood flows and people die. Tang Zhao saw men, women, old people, children, servants, maids...

This is annihilation!

The whole family will be wiped out without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!

Tang Zhao felt a chill and thought: Was this done by the Imperial Master again? Use drastic measures to eliminate political opponents at this time? Or are people somewhere taking advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters?

Perhaps the latter is more likely, and the national master's methods will be cleaner and more agile. These people clearly died from swords and trauma, not lightning. Most people are fishing in troubled waters.

Is this the political struggle in the center of power in the capital?

The cruelty is comparable to that of Gangliang Mountain! The last time he saw such a massacre was in Guliangshan. That is the most evil place in the world, and this place is known as the best place in the world. What is the difference between what happened?

The Queen Mother accidentally killed an emperor, triggering a series of shocks and killing how many people?

Tang Zhao was angry and worried at the same time: If there were not just one and two annihilations in the capital, then Commander Nan and other acquaintances would also be in danger?

As he was thinking about it, something suddenly moved in his mind. He quickly put out a jar and hid it in the jar himself.

After he hid, a group of people entered the gate, and the leaders were all wearing Taoist robes. Tang Zhao immediately confirmed the identities of these people: they must be people from Jiutian Dao Palace.

Moreover, there was an acquaintance among these people.

The leading Taoist priest was dressed similar to Xu Zhongnan, and his rank was similar. Seeing the situation in the mansion, he took a deep breath and said angrily: "We are late! Damn it! It's the same family again, this time it's the Grandmaster. .The Hengchang Wang family was also brutally murdered! Who is it?"

Tang Zhao listened secretly and thought: Are there really other victims? Many people died? The people from the Taoist Palace are here to take care of this matter. So, it really wasn't the Imperial Master who did it?

Of course, it could also be that the master thief shouted to catch the thief, but he obviously did it himself and asked his disciples to do the show again.

But Tang Zhao felt that it was still impossible. Although the Imperial Master remained mysterious all year round, as quiet as a puppet, as moving as thunder, and his methods were cruel, he was not the kind of person who acted in a serious and upright manner. At first glance, he had the aura of looking down on all living beings. , kill people, kill them, never find someone to show off to you again.

So, there really is no shortage of people in the capital who fish in troubled waters?

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Do a search. Are there any survivors or any clues?"

Everyone agreed and went to search separately.

A young Taoist priest walked around a small courtyard, moved two maids who fell on the ground to one side, and murmured: "Do evil, do evil." Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind the wall and pulled him. Before he could scream, he was stuffed into the jar.

"Sorry to come, little brother."

The person who took action was of course Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao originally wanted to hide in the suspicious corner of this group of people and move out, but he accidentally saw an acquaintance, the owner of the mask Wei Se prepared for him, and Xu Zhongnan's neighbor named Guo Mingfan. Wei Se once told him that he could replace this person at any time and obtain an official status.

Tang Zhao has never adopted this plan. Firstly, people in Jiutian Dao Palace are currently busy on missions, and they are all in groups. If they change their identities, their actions will be restricted. It is better for one person to move freely, and the other person to move freely. The reason is also the most important reason: he didn't find this kid.

The little Taoist priest was out on a mission, and Tang Zhao had no chance to see him. He was not brave enough to go to the streets with a fake identity regardless of the original owner. It would be embarrassing if the real and fake Monkey King happened. Obviously, the national master would not be able to distinguish the true from the false like Tathagata Buddha, and it would be more likely that the two of them would split it together.

Today, I saw it here.

It happened that Tang Zhao heard that the national division team was more familiar with the information about the capital. If he sneaked in, he could get more information. Moreover, when people came to him, it was like God's will. How could he not seize this great opportunity? Now three times five divided by two fell out with the little Taoist priest.

When he came out again, Tang Zhao smoothly entered the team.

He observed calmly that there were eight people in this team of Taoist priests and immortal officials. The person he played was ranked third in the team, and he was in an upper-middle position. This order was very good for hiding.

"Brother, I found three dead people here in the east courtyard, two maids and a servant. Their throats were cut, and blood spurted out about ten feet high. No one was found alive, and six people were found in the woodshed..." This Several people made reports after searching, and the contents of the reports were similar. It's all statistics, no one has any clues. Tang Zhao blended in and reported calmly. He had heard the little Taoist priest's voice before and imitated it carefully. As expected, there was no flaw.

The Taoist priest counted silently and said: "More than eighty people in the family have died. The Hengchang Palace is a small palace, and there are only about that many people. It's true that no one is left alive... Damn it! This is a provocation!"

He said loudly: "This thief has not only done many evil things, but he also doesn't take us or the Taoist palace seriously! Killing is killing, why do you have to send letters to the Taoist palace after killing people? Or one letter after another , Feng Feng is a case of annihilation! He killed in front, and let us chase him from behind. Isn't this a provocation? How dare he fool Dao Gong!"

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. Tang Zhao's heart skipped a beat: Is there such a thing as a murder notice?

At this time a young disciple said? "Brother, is it possible that the murderer and the messenger were two people, or two forces? One of them had good intentions, but he was unable to stop the murder, so he told us and wanted us to come over and stop it? Maybe we came too late?"

The Taoist priest laughed in anger and shouted: "Junior Brother Lu, you are too naive! If there was only one letter, it would still be possible, but how many letters are there now? Five or six letters, and every time someone kills someone on the front foot, He sent intelligence from behind, and each time the intelligence only had a time and place, he asked us to come there, without a single extra word. Could this be a good intention? He could send it letter by letter, even if the situation was not dangerous, there were so many Why is it difficult to write two words to explain the situation? Why not provide clues about the murderer? Since you don't write, you just don't want to write. Telling us means announcing that there is nothing you can do against me. What is this called provocation? Do you want him to open his mouth? How can you respond by mocking and saying that you are all idiots?"

Everyone was silent again, feeling that what he said made sense. This kind of letter that informs the time and place without beginning or end is either provocation, or it may be showing off.

No matter which possibility is possible, it shows that the other party has a twisted mentality and is an extremely dangerous person. To be honest, there are still such perverted characters in the world, but they are rare in court battles. It's not because dignitaries have good mental health, but because this kind of behavior greatly increases their own risks. They know that powerful dignitaries generally don't look for excitement like this. These Dao Palace disciples had their eyes opened today.

However, only one person felt a chill in his heart.

Tang Zhao secretly thought: Tell the time and place in advance, only to find out that it has actually happened when you arrive. How come this pattern is so familiar?

Prophecy... time...

Tang Zhao's heart sank: Maybe there really was a very mysterious hand manipulating something behind the scenes.

It seems that the best way is to ask King Shun for information.

"Damn it, this person keeps provoking you again and again, but we have no clues. Do we have to wait for him to send a message next time to compete with him? Isn't there any way to prevent problems before they happen?"

The Taoist priest looked at the others and was really asking for advice. Tang Zhao had a few thoughts in his mind, but as a fake, he had a low-key self-consciousness, so of course he would not rush to speak.

However, he found that the leading Taoist priest actually looked at him and asked: "Ming Fan, you are the most resourceful. Tell me, how can we get back in the game?"

What the hell? Am I the most resourceful?

Tang Zhao knew Guo Mingfan's information, but Wei Se found out it from Xu Zhongnan. Although Xu Zhongnan and Guo Mingfan were familiar with each other, their "working relationship" was estranged. They had never been partners and were only given characteristics in life. He didn't know his position and position, but Guo Mingfan, a junior disciple, was actually a think tank in his department.

Tang Zhao felt troubled and talked too much. Although he could get away with his strength even if the secret was leaked, he would basically be blamed for the family's destruction. They did not think that he was the mastermind lurking behind the scenes. That's weird. Even if they can't catch up, they can easily bring the national master over.

Let's see if we can fool him first.

Tang Zhao actually observed Guo Mingfan for a while, and he could still grasp some of his mannerisms and voice. He pinched his voice and said: "In my opinion, if you want to change from passive to active, you must predict the opponent's goal in advance and rush over in advance. Instead of Rather than guessing when and where next time, it is better to guess who it will be next time. To guess who it will be, you must first look at who the past families are, what are their similarities, and find patterns before you can deduce whose turn it will be next. .”

The Taoist priest nodded and said, "That makes sense. What do you think they have in common?"

What should I say?

I don’t even know who the first few people who died are!

Tang Zhao had no choice but to say: "Senior brother, you stand high and see far. Can you analyze it from the overall situation?"

He kicked the ball back, and the Taoist priest didn't notice him. Fan muttered: "Of these people, Mr. Lin is both civil and military, and he is a minister of the country. Mr. Meng is a relative, but the Empress Dowager is gone. He lives in heaven." For many years, I have not interfered in government affairs and made no enemies. Although General Long Xiang has outstanding military achievements, he is domineering and has too many enemies. However, he lost power the year before last and is now a toothless tiger..."

He analyzed the status, power, and positions of several people one by one, but felt that he was missing the point. He frowned and said: "Although these big shots have a high status, they are no longer the key. There are two of them. It can even be said that one more is not more, and one is less." Quite a bit, what other reason is there to harm them..."

Tang Zhao was pondering, when someone in the inner courtyard said: "Brother, come quickly, I discovered something strange!"
