King

Early the next morning, Lin Yan hurried to Niutoushan.

However, after working for most of the morning, Lin Yan searched carefully no matter whether it was the animal den or the dense forest, but he found nothing in the end.

Lin Yan's heart sank to the extreme, and he was very melancholy. He blamed himself for Tieniu's death, and he didn't know how to explain to Tieniu's wife. Tell Mrs. Tieniu the truth, maybe Mrs. Tieniu, who is pregnant now, is in a hurry.

Lin Yan then took a shortcut and hurried back to Tie Niu's house near the Xiaoshui River Wharf.

But what came into view was a tightly closed black door, and the bleak wind blew past, as if telling a sad past.

Lifting his breath, Lin Yan climbed over the wall and entered inside. The usually clean furniture had been covered with a thin layer of dust, which showed that no one had cleaned it for a while. Human smell.

"Sister Tieniu may think that both Tieniu and I are dead, but I just don't know where she is now."

Lin Yan sighed, and there seemed to be a warm picture of Tie Niu chopping firewood in the yard while Tie Niu's wife was choosing vegetables beside her.

"Tie Niu, I am sorry for you."

Lin Yan muttered to himself, full of self-blame.

However, now that he wants to find Mrs. Tieniu, he suddenly finds that Mrs. Tieniu has almost no contact with outsiders. There are no neighbors nearby, and it is even more impossible to know the workers on the dock. He has no idea where Mrs. Tieniu will go.

"Hey." Lin Yan stomped his feet on the ground, and rushed towards Niutoushan again.

Along the way, I heard someone already talking about the big event that happened at the Nether Gate last night.As the holy aunt of the Nether Gate, Li Qingchou's status was very unusual, but she was killed in a mysterious explosion. Everyone suspected that this was an internal struggle in the Nether Gate.

Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to this. Now that Li Qingchou is dead, the biggest suspect is that orchid again. Therefore, the two who were expected to take over as the next head of the Nether Sect are all over at once. The biggest beneficiaries of this matter are probably It's Qin Haimeng, maybe the current head will treat Qin Haimeng as a candidate soon.

For Qin Haimeng to benefit, in the final analysis, it is also a good thing for him. After all, the greater Qin Haimeng's influence in the Nether Gate, the more he can help him deal with Qingjue. With "The Secret Book of Nether Mysterious Art" as a bargaining chip , even if Qin Haimeng was asked to deal with Qingjue directly, it would be no problem, it was much better than only getting a verbal promise from Qiu Li.

However, it is already April, less than two months away from the city-wide competition, and it is still quite difficult to kill Qing Jue before showing up in the competition, especially on the basis of Li Qingchou's incident.

"Li Qingchou, you deserve to die a hundred times."

As Lin Yan walked, he was thinking bitterly.There was also Li Qingchou's body in the snuff bottle. Strictly speaking, it was the body of the fifth lady. As soon as he finished preparing the iron cow, he immediately sent this body to its proper place. As for the 120 seven members of the Xia family who died tragically People can finally rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

What Lin Yan didn't know was that the maidservants who served Li Qingchou couldn't wait to applaud because their master finally died!

Lin Yan crossed Qingyang Town again and arrived at the foot of Niutou Mountain. He was going to find Tieniu's body no matter what, and then went to find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Tieniu.

At the foot of the mountain is a fairly lively farmers' market, where the prey hunted by hunters and the herbs picked by farmers from Niutou Mountain will be sold in this market.Villagers and businessmen shuttled among them, and there was constant noise.

Lin Yan didn't have much interest in appreciating these things, he just wanted to leave the market quickly and go to Niutoushan to find someone.

But at this moment, there was a lean man running towards him in a hurry, his legs seemed to be stepping on two hot wheels, and his speed was fast. After accidentally bumping into him, he didn't say anything, but was a little panicked Confused, he continued to run wildly with his head bowed.

Lin Yan frowned. This sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man ran away in a panic, and he was still clutching a money bag tightly. If he was not a thief, he would suspect that he was blind.

But after bumping into him, the man had already squeezed into the crowd, and he was in a low mood and didn't have the heart to catch the thief, so he continued on his way.

However, after turning a corner, Lin Yan saw a large group of people in front of him, and a woman's sharp voice came from inside: "What are you arguing about, I found the purse on you, you didn't steal it." , will my money bag fly into your pocket by itself? You hateful money thief!"

"Could it be that the thief's accomplice has been arrested?" Lin Yan thought this way. He didn't want to care about it, but he had to go through the road where the crowd gathered to get to Niutou Mountain, so Lin Yan had no choice but to continue walking.

"Brother, seeing your honest face, Xiaosheng originally thought that you should be an upright person, but he didn't want you to do the most shameless stealing thing of a saint. A gentleman can do something after he doesn't do it. See You are healthy and strong. Even if you rely on coolies to eat, you can still support yourself. Why bother to do such a dirty business? Listen to Xiaosheng’s advice, it’s better to go the right way. By the way, you took Xiaosheng’s money and you Take it out together, I only need to take back my belongings, and I will not pursue the rest, after all, the sage taught us to forgive others even more."

Lin Yan understood that the two thieves probably stole money at the same time, one slipped away quickly, but the other was caught on the spot, so the two owners naturally thought that the person who was caught stole their money.

Then, Lin Yan heard the woman's vehement shout: "Scholar, you can't take advantage of this thief! You must send him to the police. Hmph, if you dare to steal my fat aunt's money, I must make him look good!"

Compared with the scholar who was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, women are much more domineering.

"I said, I really didn't steal the money, I'm not a thief!"

The thief is still clearing his name.

"Hey, the thief was caught straight, and he still shamelessly denied it, bah! If I don't send you to the government, I won't be called Fat Aunt!"

However, after hearing this, Lin Yan was shocked at first, and then pleasantly surprised!

"tractor!"

Lin Yan quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed in.

A thin scholar and a sturdy fat woman are surrounding a big man with an innocent face and scratching his head. That big man is Tie Niu!

Lin Yan didn't think about how Tieniu died and came back to life, but just shouted again happily: "Tieniu!"

At this moment, Lin Yan only felt that this was the happiest thing in the world, because this person is a living iron bull!

"Brother Lin!"

Although Lin Yan deliberately concealed his face, Tieniu also judged from the voice alone that the other party was Lin Yan, whom he was looking for so hard, so he couldn't help shouting happily and excitedly.

At this time, the fat woman on the side was full of vigilance, rolled up her sleeves, put her hips on her hips and roared: "How dare you ask for help, you hateful thief, where are you going! Folks, we must take this People send officials!"

The surrounding audience echoed one after another, and they were about to step forward to grab someone.

Lin Yan naturally knew that Tieniu could never be a thief, not to mention Tieniu's character, just that Tieniu had tens of thousands of taels of silver in his pocket, which was enough to be considered a rich man, so why would he do something sneaky?

Therefore, Lin Yan smiled slightly at Tieniu, and said, "Wait for me later, I will arrest the right master first."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yan had already passed through the crowd and ran out like a gust of wind.

Although there were people coming and going in the market, Lin Yan ran like a smoke. After chasing for 3 minutes, he found a lean man gasping for breath in an alley.

Lin Yan didn't speak, just grabbed the man by his collar and dragged him back into the crowd.

The surrounding audience were at a loss.

On the contrary, the scholar reacted quickly, cupped his hands towards Lin Yan and said, "Dare to ask, brother, is this the real thief?"

Lin Yan threw the skinny man to the ground, pointed at him with a sneer and said, "You tell it yourself."

"What are you talking about?" The thin man looked puzzled, rolled his eyes, pointed at Lin Yan instead and shouted angrily, "What do you mean, why did you bring me here? You and this strong man are obviously accomplices." , but pulled me as a scapegoat! Folks, your eyes are sharp, you have to prove my innocence."

Lin Yan snorted, stepped forward, and kicked the skinny man's pocket.

"Bangdang."

A small white purse fell to the ground.

"Oh, this is Xiaosheng's purse." The scholar hurriedly bent down and picked up his purse.

"How can you slander me!" The skinny man got up from the ground, pretended to be angry and bit Lin Yan back, but he was originally like a monkey with a sharp mouth, and when everyone looked at him, they looked more suspicious .

"Yes, I recognized you. When I was walking, you were still around me for a long time." The scholar was thoughtful.

"My brother didn't steal the money. It was this man who stole two purses in a row. After being noticed by the owner, he ran away in a hurry, and threw a purse on my brother so that he could escape by himself. That's why everyone arrested me. My brother mistook him for a thief." Lin Yan said.

Hearing this, the skinny man wanted to mess around again, but how could Lin Yan waste any more time on this kind of person? He kicked his right foot on the ground suddenly, glared at the skinny man and said, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise , I feel better with you!"

Everyone looked at the ground and gasped suddenly.

Five or six of the bluestone bricks on the ground "Ka Ka" shattered, and where Lin Yan landed, there was a clear footprint at least three inches deep!

Lin Yan immediately grabbed the thin man by the collar, lifted him abruptly, looked him straight in the eyes and said coldly, "I don't have time to waste time with you, if you don't tell the truth, you know the consequences!"

Lin Yan's words sounded like heavy hammers hitting the thin man's heart. Looking at the opponent who looked like a god of death and the terrifying traces left on the ground, the thin man's face was ashes, and his body was ashen. Shaking like sifting chaff, begging for mercy with a mournful face: "The good man spares his life, the good man spares his life, I say, I say."

With Lin Yan watching from the side, the thin man didn't dare to hide anything, and he told about the money theft like beans in a bamboo tube. The facts were roughly the same as what Lin Yan said before.

The misunderstanding was naturally resolved quickly. The real thief had been sent to the government by the fat aunt and the others, while Lin Yan and Tieniu got rid of the entanglement smoothly.

Both became agitated.
