King

The coffin is placed in the grave, then covered with earth, and the funeral is considered complete.

Looking at the densely packed new graves on the mountain belonging to Xia's family, Lin Yan felt even more depressed. Besides Xia An, many of the people lying here were servants, and they were the kind of people who were sold into the graves. The servants of the Xia family were servants, and their entire lives including their lives were handed over to the Xia family. They thought that in such a big family, they would at least have enough food, clothing and life security, but they ended up dying in such a tragic way.

Having been a servant for ten years, Lin Yan is especially able to understand their psychology. They may not have any big ideals, big goals, and some just desire for life, but now, they are lying here!

In the large area of ​​new graves, there are all souls of the dead who have not died in peace!

The villagers who came to help had already gone down the mountain. The relatives of Xia's family were still crying. Lin Yan didn't leave. He wanted to ask the tall and strong man later to see if he could learn about the murderer. About half an hour later, Xia The family's relatives also started to descend the mountain. Lin Yan and Xia Anzhi's cousin stayed at the end and talked in front of Xia Anzhi's grave.

"Today, I am really grateful to the strong man for his generosity. Otherwise, with the ruffian nature of those bastards, I might really be forced to go back. Then I would really feel sorry for the dead. Thank you strong man!" Gao said The strong man said emotionally.

"You don't need to thank me. In fact, Xia Anzhi and I are still friends." Looking at the words on the tombstone in front of him, Lin Yan couldn't help but think of Xia Anzhi's innocent smile.Lin Yan couldn't help feeling depressed that a good person like that didn't get rewarded.

"The strong man is friends with my cousin?" The tall and strong man's eyes lit up, and he continued, "My cousin rarely mentions his friends, but since the strong man knows my cousin, I wonder if he also knows a guy named Lin Yan?" people?"

Lin Yan was taken aback for a moment, but then hid it well and said with a smile, "Lin Yan? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this person before."

The tall and strong man's look of anticipation obviously dropped a lot, he sighed, and said: "It seems that I can't find this person. I have been here for a week. I am busy inquiring about this person except for the funeral. , but have never been able to find it.”

Lin Yan's heart moved, and he asked curiously, "Oh? Why do you want to find him so much?"

The tall and strong man also glanced at the tombstone, and expressed Xia Anzhi's wish: "Before the accident, my cousin told me about Lin Yan more than once, saying that the Xia family's current prosperity is largely due to It’s all due to Lin Yan. It’s just that when I wanted to know more details, my cousin refused to tell me. Later, after the tragedy happened, I found a letter and a stack of bank notes in my cousin’s study. The letter is written For Lin Yan, the 1 taels of silver note is also for Lin Yan."

"Could it be that Lin Yan is closely related to the head of the Xia family?" Lin Yan asked curiously.

"After reading the letter, I realized that Lin Yan really helped the Xia family a lot. I can't say anything else, but my cousin's wish is to hand over the letter and the money to Lin Yan. , to express his gratitude."

Lin Yan guessed what was written in the letter without the tall and strong man needing to reveal it. Xia Anzhi must be thanking him for not revealing the shocking scandal of the Xia family.

"Now that my cousin died tragically, I want to help him realize this wish, so I have been looking for this person named Lin Yan."

Lin Yan glanced at the tombstone, but said nothing.Xia An is indeed a good person, and I feel sorry for him when he died.As for his letter and that money, I don't need it. It's better to leave it to the relatives of the Xia family. I believe that the tall and strong man in front of me will always hide the scandal involved in the letter.

"By the way, strong man, do you know any other friends of my cousin? I want to search through these friends again to see if I can find Lin Yan." The tall and strong man continued.

"I only know Xia Anzhi, I don't know his friends, but if you really can't find him, forget it." Lin Yan said kindly.

The tall and strong man showed a stubborn look, and said stubbornly: "This can be said to be my cousin's last wish, and I must help to fulfill it."

Lin Yan couldn't help but look at him with admiration. This person is not a warrior, not a high-ranking official, but his quality of mind is much higher than that of ordinary people. However, Lin Yan didn't want to reveal his identity, so as not to get entangled with the other party, so he stopped on this issue.

"Can you tell me about the tragedy that happened in the Xia family? To tell you the truth, I came this time to find the murderer and avenge Xia Anzhi." Lin Yan revealed his purpose.

This is Lin Yan's sincere words.

Of course he didn't like Xia Long, Xia Ping and others, but he was always grateful to Xia Anzhi. Xia Shihu and the housekeeper threw out the night's dinner, which was a bowl of smooth noodles. After Xia Anzhi found out, he specially ordered the kitchen to make him a steaming bowl of rice with meat and vegetables.He always remembered Xia Anzhi's kindness to him. Now that Xia Anzhi was murdered by a murderer, he wanted to find the murderer so that Xia Anzhi could rest in peace.

What's more, this murderer not only killed Xia Anzhi, but also killed all the poor servants. This made him even more angry, and made him determined to find out the murderer and avenge them.

Since the tall and strong man knew that Lin Yan was his cousin's friend and had helped him so much today, he naturally wouldn't doubt Lin Yan, so he told about the situation of the Xia family after the family was destroyed.

However, it was roughly the same as what Lin Yan heard himself, and he couldn't get more information from it to pinpoint the murderer.

"What's going on at the government office, is there any clue?" Lin Yan asked immediately.

"The government's autopsy report stated that the 120 seven people were killed by cutting their throats with a sword. The murderer should be one person, and he was a master with a sword. The murder was fierce and extremely fast, so no one ran out of the yard."

When the tall and strong man said these words, he still had lingering fears in his heart. Obviously, the cruelty of the murderer left a deep psychological shadow on him.

"Did the murderer not leave any clues in the Xia family, such as why he wanted to kill them all?" Now that the scene of the tragedy in the Xia family has already been cleared, Lin Yan can only hope to get more useful information from the tall and strong man. information.

Hearing what Lin Yan said, the tall and strong man looked at Lin Yan for several seconds, seemed to be hesitating, and finally made up his mind, saying: "Strong man, there are some things that I don't want to say even to my cousin's friend. , but today you act out of righteousness, it shows that you are a good man with courage and courage, and you have the ability, maybe you can really avenge my cousin."

"Now the government has a few pieces of information that are unknown to the outside world. Let me tell the strong man. The first one is that when the tragedy happened, it just rained and the ground was wet. From the murderer's footprints Look, the man's feet are small and the footprints are shallow, and from the analysis of the sword wound on the neck of the deceased, the murderer used a soft sword."

The tall and strong man finally revealed some additional information to Lin Yan.

"The size is smaller and the footprints left are shallower, indicating that this person is very light in weight and slender, while using a soft sword indicates that this person has dexterous wrists, but not much strength, so it needs to be as effortless as a soft sword. Weapons are weapons, so the government has already determined that the murderer is a woman?" Lin Yan analyzed.

"The strong man's analysis is extremely accurate. It is the same as the conclusion drawn by the government. The murderer was identified as a woman, and a jade hairpin was found at the scene of the tragedy. It is believed that only women under the age of 30 would wear it. So to be precise, The murderer was a young woman."

"But I don't know if there is any young woman in this world who hates the Xia family so much, and is able to do such a murderous thing. There are 120 people in the whole family, and none of them survives. This person must be a female devil."

The tall and strong man was filled with righteous indignation, clenched his fists, very angry.

When Lin Yan heard the word "young woman", a young face immediately appeared in Lin Yan's mind, but Lin Yan quickly excluded this person.

"I was thinking too much, how could it be her?"

Lin Yan stopped thinking about it, and asked instead: "Then how is the government going to deal with it now? Has there been any suspicious young woman targeted?"

As soon as the tall and strong man heard this, he immediately shook his head and sighed: "It's better not to say it, because once I say it, I feel helpless."

"How do you say that?" Lin Yan couldn't help but wonder.

"Once the murderer was determined to be a young woman, the government refused to do anything more, and told me clearly that they would not be able to solve the case. They said that even if they found the murderer, with their hands, they would definitely not be a match for the female devil. Besides, With only these clues, there is no way to pinpoint the murderer. I think it is also true. It is okay for the government to arrest some ordinary people. They really have nothing to do when they encounter such a powerful and ruthless warrior. Sigh, so many people, But he left with hatred." The tall and strong man looked helpless.

Lin Yan nodded, knowing that this is the truth. It is almost impossible to count on the government to solve the case. It seems that to find the murderer, I have to take it step by step, but no matter how long it will take, I have to persevere. I believe After all, he will find this extremely vicious young woman.

After paying homage again, Lin Yan and the tall and strong man started to descend the mountain, onto the dirt road they had taken before.

"Hey, brother, they're right there."

While walking, a voice came from the front.

"It was they who broke my wrist and I was slapped."

Surprisingly, it was Yang Erlang who was beaten away by Lin Yan, unexpectedly reappeared, and he also brought a helper.

"I'm ashamed to say that I was slapped in the face. If it spread, I would lose face to my Tiansha sect. No wonder you've been around for five or six years and you're still just an outer disciple. Well, look at me, senior brother will definitely help you out. Tone."

Yang Erlang didn't complain that his senior brother taunted him, but after getting his senior brother's assurance, he was in a good mood, and shouted at Lin Yan and the tall and strong man who were less than 20 meters away: "You two bastards are going to kneel at my feet, please be nice Get my feet under my crotch, haha!"

The tall and strong man couldn't help feeling worried, and hurriedly said: "Strong man, it seems that the person you beat away invited a very powerful helper, why don't we avoid it first?"

Lin Yan looked calm and said with a relaxed smile: "No need, the helper hired by that person ran into me anyway."

After all, Lin Yan continued to move forward with a steady pace, which made the tall and strong man startled and almost froze.

The distance of 20 meters is quickly reached.

There were a total of four people on both sides, standing still less than three meters apart.

"Brother, this guy in the hat hit me." Yang Erlang pointed at Lin Yan and complained to the young man next to him. Immediately, Yang Erlang looked at Lin Yan triumphantly, and said arrogantly: "This time you are miserable, I Let's see how you can beat my senior brother alone! This time I have to make you kneel on the ground and call me grandpa three times, and get under my crotch to spare you!"

Yang Erlang felt that the opportunity for him to feel proud came at the right time.After returning home, he couldn't swallow the bad breath. After bandaging the wound a little, he was ready to call on all the thugs at home. He didn't believe that he couldn't defeat the opponent. Just in time.He knew this senior brother very well. As the core disciple of the inner sect of Tiansha Sect, he was very powerful. It was safer for senior brother to come forward than to bring a large group of thugs.

But Lin Yan obviously didn't take it seriously, and he wasn't afraid of the helper Yang Erlang invited.

"Really, it doesn't matter who is miserable." Lin Yan said with a smile.

"You are..." Wuyou, the senior brother Yang Erlang was talking about, immediately had a bad feeling when he heard this voice.

"Why, you won't be so forgetful, right?" Lin Yan looked at Wuyou and raised the brim of his hat a little.

Immediately, Wang Tian's complexion changed drastically, and he was instantly pale.

Lin Yan smiled in satisfaction, and said sarcastically, "Brother Wang Tian is still planning to block the way and prevent us from passing?"

Wuyou's face began to turn red and then blue, his hands were clenched tightly, his body was shaking uncontrollably, obviously trying to hold back something, but finally he was discouraged, and said coldly to Yang Erlang next to him, "Let's go."

Yang Erlang was dumbfounded immediately, and hurriedly said in puzzlement: "Brother, didn't you agree to teach this person a lesson for me? Why are you leaving now?"

"Where is there so much nonsense, just leave as soon as you are told, hurry up!" Wang Tian sent all the aggrieved anger he had received from Lin Yan to Yang Erlang, and scolded him coldly.

Seeing Senior Brother Wang Tian leaving, Yang Erlang was full of grievances and doubts, but he could only follow in annoyance, and he didn't have the guts to face Lin Yan alone.

"Wait a minute," Lin Yan suddenly said from behind, "Wang Tian, ​​you'd better educate your junior brother so that he doesn't do anything to the members of the Xia family, or else, hehe, you know the consequences."

The word "hehe" made Wuyou feel chills down his spine, thinking of the hardships he had suffered at the hands of this man, Wuyou quickened his pace again, for fear that this expert who even the elders of the sect had to respect him would turn his back on him.

Here, the tall and strong man looked at Lin Yan who was walking in front of him in astonishment, and felt more and more that it was wise for him to tell this strong man some secret things. Maybe this friend of his cousin could really find out the murderer and die for him. people revenge.

"Brother, who is that person?" After avoiding Lin Yan, Yang Erlang asked quickly.He wasn't stupid, and he vaguely guessed some reasons.

Wang Tian's face was livid, the anger in his heart had never subsided, he bit his lips tightly, and said word by word: "Hmph, humiliate me again and again, I will definitely kill you in the future!"

When Yang Erlang heard senior brother Wang Tian's cold words, his heart turned cold, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Yang Erlang, you don't want to mess with this guy anymore, anyway, brother will definitely find an opportunity to give him a good look!" Wang Tian said viciously.
