Martial arts: start to create a list of ruthless people

"Yes...he hasn't come back yet, and there is no news. Probably something happened to that relative." The butler dragged his tone slightly, avoiding his eyes and daring not to look directly at the three people in front of him.

Standing behind Song Zhixing, Han Tian frowned, stepped forward, approached the butler's face, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you dare look at us?"

The butler was at a loss, gritted his teeth and raised his eyes to meet Han Tian's gaze. In fact, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his legs and feet were trembling involuntarily.

"Your Elder He, why did you stay for so long because of some distant relative?" Han Tian pressed harder and harder.

The housekeeper clenched his fists behind his back. He tried his best to keep his voice steady, and said, "This is not something that a slave like me can know...Elder He only talks to the people in the house when he goes out, and doesn't know how to say it." where to go."

"You're lying." Song Zhixing said suddenly, and the butler's body shook slightly. He looked past Han Tian to Song Zhixing, and asked bravely, "Why did Master Song say that?"

Song Zhixing smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Elder He and I have been friends for more than ten years. I am one of the people he admires the most in his life. We have been together for several years. His temperament, don't tell me you have served him for decades alone?" Do people know better than me?"

The butler opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"I know that he usually talks to the people in the house even if he just goes out to buy things, and he won't even tell where he is going. Even if he is just an ordinary maidservant, he will treat each other gently. What you say, Do you really believe it yourself?"

Song Zhixing's words were sharp, and every sentence was pressing the housekeeper.

A little cold sweat was already breaking out on the butler's forehead, his legs and feet were trembling, and he replied in a low voice: "But how do you know that Elder He... Has his temperament changed a lot..."

Han Tian had lost his patience and didn't want to listen to the housekeeper's arguments anymore. He believed in Song Zhixing... He turned his head to look into Song Zhixing's eyes. Song Zhixing sensed Han Tian's intentions, and after a few seconds of silence, Slightly nodded.

Han Tian violently pushed the butler away, kicked open the half-open vermilion door, and rushed into the He Mansion with Song Zhixing and Yu Wenliu.

The butler was startled, but then he reacted and shouted: "You can't go in - stop quickly! You are acting like a robber! I'm going to call someone!"

Han Tian turned a deaf ear to the butler's yelling and walked quickly.He predicted that the housekeeper would not dare to call for someone.If he calls someone, the scandal he has done will probably be made public, which is one more crime than their forced entry.

Han Tian led the two of them into the inner courtyard without stopping. Song Zhixing rushed into Elder He's room, and suddenly stopped as if he had bumped into something.

Elder He was lying on the bed in the room, half covered by the gauze curtain, and Elder He on the bed seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

Song Zhixing was taken aback for a moment, then he came back to his senses, strode to the bed, and called softly, "Elder He." 0.4

no respond.Elder He seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Song Zhixing's heart sank, he hesitated for a moment, raised his hand to push aside the bed curtain, and carefully reached out to probe Elder He's breath.

Han Tian and Yu Wenliu stood side by side behind Song Zhixing, watching Song Zhixing's movements nervously.The butler stood silently at the door of the room.

"Elder He," Song Zhixing said slowly, his voice was low and trembling, "I'm not breathing anymore."

Han Tian and Yu Wenliu were shocked when they heard this, and the three of them turned to the door of the room at the same time, focusing on the butler who was standing silently. .

Chapter 591 Investigating Neighbors

"What's going on?" Song Zhixing's voice when questioning the butler became cold, and even the provocative tone of the interrogative sentences became drooping.

Hearing Song Zhixing's question, the housekeeper suddenly bumped away the three of them and rushed into the room, ran to the bed and knelt down, lowered his head, and sobbed, "Elder... Elder, what are you doing?" I'm not breathing...what's wrong with you..."

Han Tian and the others were a little puzzled when they saw this, Song Zhixing sneered, stepped forward to pick up the butler who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Turn around."

The butler stopped crying immediately, turned around tremblingly, and faced Song Zhixing.

"Elder He, what's the matter?" He asked, staring at the housekeeper, his eyes were like quenched sword blades.

The butler hesitated to speak, but just looked at Song Zhixing in horror, not even 28 meeting his eyes.

"I'm asking you what happened to him!" Song Zhixing roared angrily, his fingers curled up into fists, and veins popped up on his arms.

The housekeeper's slack eyes slowly recovered, he suddenly waved his hands, and said in a panic: "I don't know, I don't know what happened to him, I thought he was sleeping, I really don't know!"

Song Zhixing shook his hand violently, brought the butler down to the ground, and turned his back.

The butler hurriedly got up from the ground, and said in a sad voice: "Master Song, I really didn't know what happened to Elder He. Before you came in, I thought he was sleeping. He has been ill recently and needs to rest, because of this I lied to you that you were going out."

Han Tian reached out and patted Song Zhixing's shoulder, "Let's go, don't trust him."

Song Zhixing heard the words, turned his head and gave the housekeeper a vicious look, and said, "You will pay the price."

The butler got up in a panic and said, "I'll let my servants prepare for it right away, and hold a grand funeral for Elder He!"

After hearing this, Song Zhixing smiled instead of anger, turned around and led the other two out of the He residence.

After leaving the vermilion gate of He Mansion, Yu Wenliu sighed and said, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Han Tian replied sullenly: "Yes, the world is unpredictable."

Song Zhixing remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"Actually, have you ever doubted the housekeeper?" Han Tian suddenly spoke again, and Song Zhixing looked up at him upon hearing this.

"There must be. What the housekeeper said is obviously contradictory. It's not a shameful reason to rest due to illness. Why do you have to say that you are going out? It's ridiculous to bring up some distant relative." Yu Wenliu Indignantly said.

Song Zhixing nodded in agreement, and then slowly said: "Actually, I also suspected that it belonged to him. It's just that I have always respected Elder He, and I didn't dare to doubt the people in his mansion easily... Now I have seen through it. The butler is really suspicious. Heavy."

Han Tian rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said, "I always feel that the death of Elder He is not easy. The housekeeper must take good care of it, and this matter must have nothing to do with him."

"Yes. But Elder He is a living person, how could he pass away without anyone noticing? Someone must have heard something." Yu Wenliu asked a question, blinking in doubt.

"Why don't we investigate this area. Ask the shopkeepers along the street if they have heard anything about what happened to the He Mansion recently. Maybe we can find some clues." Han Tian said with a questioning look. Watching Song Zhixing.

Song Zhixing was silent for two seconds, nodded, and said, "I think it's feasible. Let's split up when the time comes, so that the efficiency can be higher."

Both Han Tian and Yu Wen and Liu Wenyan nodded in agreement.

The three of them tossed and tossed all morning, but they still didn't eat any rice, and they didn't even eat breakfast.They went back to the inn to rest. Song Zhixing went to buy a few sesame seed cakes and shared them with the other two.

As the sunlight moved overhead, Han Tian shook the crumbs of sesame seed cakes on his hands, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to take a break after lunch. It's a good time to go to the street to inquire now. Let's go." Then he stood at 973 and got up and walked outside.

Song Zhixing and Yu Wenliu Wenyan hurriedly followed, and the group came to the streets near the He Mansion, intending to split up.

Han Tian knew very well that he could hear a lot of recent events from the old man, so he approached the old man who was sitting in front of a house and was waving a cattail fan leisurely, and asked him inadvertently, "Master, have you been there recently?" Are you doing well?"

The uncle replied enthusiastically after hearing the words: "It's not bad! There are food and clothes!"

Han Tian smiled and said: "It's good to have food and clothing! If you don't have anything, you have to trouble the neighbors!"

"That's right! The fourth girl's house on the opposite side is extremely stingy, even if others come to beg at his door, it is considered invisible." The uncle naturally brought the topic to the neighbors and began to talk freely.

Han Tian was overjoyed in his heart, and said along the way: "I've heard about it. But the famous He Mansion over there, I don't know what's going on recently.".

Chapter 592

"He Mansion? Nothing unusual happened in He Manor recently." Hearing this, the old man gave Han Tian a puzzled look.

Han Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "It's fine if there's nothing wrong. One of my relatives is here at the moment, and he hasn't heard any news recently. I'm worried."

The old man also smiled when he heard this, and said, "So that's the case. You can also relax, He's mansion is so big, is there any reason why you can't take good care of yourself?"

Hearing the words, Han Tian cursed secretly in his heart: Don't say he is a servant, he can't even take care of the boss.

"Okay, it's time for me to go home. At this time, I have to go back and water the crops. My wife can't do it alone." Han Tian saw that he couldn't get anything out of the old man's mouth, so he made up nonsense. A reason to say goodbye.

Anyway, he wasn't a farmer at all, and he wasn't married, but he was afraid that the old man would entangle him with some reasons for marrying a daughter or clinging to him.Since he said that he was just an ordinary farmer and already had a wife, there was no reason to pester him.

On the other end, Song Zhixing asked some shopkeepers along the road carefully, but their answers were all ambiguous without exception, and some simply said that they didn't know.

Yu Wenliu's situation was not too different.A few nasty men passing by saw that she was beautiful and came to strike up a conversation. She even asked those people, but still couldn't get any useful information.

Along the way, Han Tian inquired about the news from several other people, and without exception, they were not aware of the recent movements of He's residence.He felt helpless, seeing that the sun was about to set, he had no choice but to go back to the inn and wait for Song Zhixing and Yu Wenliu to come back.

Not long after, the two came back one after the other. When they entered the door, they saw Han Tian's inquiring eyes looking at them, and they both shook their heads to express that there was no result.

"Hey, Elder He died for no reason. How come no one heard about it. What kind of method can the news be sealed so tightly?" Song Zhixing collapsed on his back on the bed, his face written all over his face. With the word tired.

Yu Wenliu also sighed, "Anyway, after all, the He family is a big family, and their usual activities are not high-profile, so ordinary people probably won't pay much attention."

Han Tian frowned, and after thinking for a while, it suddenly came to his mind that he had a relative in the mansion that he told the old man just now, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly said: "Why don't we come from the servants of He's mansion?" Let's get started."

Song Zhixing looked at Han Tian after hearing the words, and seemed to understand Han Tian's thoughts in his heart, and asked, "How do you say this?"

Han Tian stretched his eyebrows, and beckoned the three of them to come closer, drawing on the wooden table with his fingers, looking confident.

"In this way, brother Zhixing pretended to check on Elder He's funeral plan, and then I asked Liu to hide in a corner outside the gate of He's mansion. Brother Zhixing asked to send someone to buy something, and wait for that When the servant comes out, we will catch him."

Song Zhixing nodded silently while listening, followed Han Tian's words and said, "Then I pretended that there was an emergency and I couldn't stay any longer, so I made my speech and interrogated that servant with you."

"Yes!" Han Tianxi said, "This is the best way at the moment. Let's take a rest tonight and use this method tomorrow morning."

Song Zhixing nodded, and Yu Wenliu also said it was okay, so the three of them went out to buy some food and returned to the inn, and went to sleep after eating.

In the early morning of the next day, the crowing of the rooster shattered the drowsy dawn, and the morning fog gradually dispersed. The three of them had already left the house early, and were walking slowly on the stone road soaked in the fog.

Each of them already knew their mission clearly in their hearts.When a group of people came to the gate of He Mansion, Han Tian and Yu Wenliu found a corner and hid in. Song Zhixing stood in front of the vermilion door, remained silent for a while, and raised his hand to pull down the brocade rope.

This time, it took a long time before someone opened the door.The butler was still standing inside the door, while Song Zhixing stood outside the door alone.

"¨" Master Song... Good morning. "The butler greeted him bravely, his eyes wandered around behind Song Zhixing, and unexpectedly did not see the other two. But he didn't dare to ask, so he opened the door and invited Song Zhixing to come in.

Song Zhixing ignored the flattering greeting from the housekeeper, skipped him and walked in with steady steps, holding down the short sword hidden under his clothes with his left hand to prevent any accidents at any time.

(Nuo Zhao is good) He looked at the butler beside him who was also walking, and said casually: "Since you have already decided to have a funeral, you should start preparing for it today."

The butler hurriedly nodded, echoing: "Yes, yes, Master Song is right."

"In other words, it should have been prepared a long time ago." Song Zhixing smiled, but in the eyes of the housekeeper, it was very scary.What he said was ambiguous, making the butler break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm here to see how you plan to handle the funeral. There is no other purpose." Song Zhixing's smile became more friendly, but the housekeeper felt more and more oppressed.He hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Song should know about these things."

Chapter 593 Han Tian's Guess

Song Zhixing nodded, and walked into the living room with the butler. The butler poured a cup of tea for Song Zhixing.

The butler didn't say anything, just smiled and asked, "What does Master Song want to know?"

Song Zhixing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said, "Tell me what you think is worthy of attention. Do you want me to ask the same questions?"

Hearing Song Zhixing's words, the housekeeper felt a little guilty, so he could only pretend to be calm and replied: "If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them. We are still only in the shopping stage."

After hearing this, Song Zhixing didn't have any emotional fluctuations. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Elder He liked to eat lettuce before he was alive. I wonder if you plan to come to worship?"

The housekeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I have a brain, why don't I remember, I will order my servants to buy it."

"Send someone more reliable. Elder He only likes to eat tender lettuce leaves, not vegetable stalks, so you have to be careful." Song Zhixing said slowly, his eyes fixed on the butler's movements.

The butler then sent a servant out to buy lettuce.Before the servant went out, Song Zhixing specially called him in front of him and gave him a few words of advice.

the other end.

Yu Wenliu and Han Tian hid in the corner, waiting for the movement of the vermilion door diagonally opposite.

Not long after, there were slight footsteps and rhythmic strings of money within the high walls of the He Mansion.Han Tian guessed that someone had used the money to buy things, and secretly admired Song Zhixing's high efficiency in his heart.

Yu Wenliu's position was closer to the door. She opened her almond eyes and stared at the door closely, feeling its movement with her ears.

With a creak, the door slammed, and the two of them immediately became alert, staring at that place.

The door was opened from the inside, and a plainly dressed man walked out with a few strings of copper coins, oblivious to the gazes of the two people in the corner, (ciae) just closed the door and walked forward.

However, before he turned around, Yu Wenliu slipped out of the corner lightly, flew all the way along the base of the wall, and in a blink of an eye, he was behind the servant, twisting his arm with one hand, and the other A hand quickly grabbed the man's neck.

Han Tian followed Yu Wenliu and jumped out. Before the servant could react, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, and cooperated with Yu Wenliu to tightly twist his hands, and dragged him aside.

"Shh, be quiet." Han Tian made a silent gesture to the servant, turned his head and listened carefully to the movement in He's mansion, and then looked around to make sure that no one else was around, then turned his head to look To that servant.

"We didn't catch you to threaten you, we just wanted to know what's unusual about you Elder He during this time." Han Tian said to the trembling servant.

The servant did not dare to speak, and was a little stupefied by the two of them.

"Don't you dare to say it or don't want to say it? If you say it, we will let you go and keep you safe. If you don't say it, you will never see your family again." Han Tian threatened and lured with a suppressed voice.

Yu Wenliu said to him gently: "We don't want to harm you by asking you this, but we are investigating the cause of Elder He's death, and we need your servants to cooperate."

The servant relaxed, Wen thought for a while, and said: "Elder He has always been normal... It's just that he told us a few days ago that he was going out to do errands, but we didn't see him go out, and we haven't seen him since. He showed up at the mansion."

Han Tian raised his chin, signaling him to continue.

"The housekeeper never told us what was going on with him. We always thought he was out when we didn't see him. Until yesterday, the housekeeper suddenly informed us that we were going to have a funeral."

After hearing this, Han Tian frowned, and looked at Yu Wenliu with a questioning look.

Yu Wenliu was obviously a little surprised after hearing this.Since so many servants did not see Elder He leave or appear in the mansion, then Elder He could only die in the mansion.

But such a big living person died suddenly in the mansion, how could there be no movement?Even the servants don't notice any details?

Han Tian's eyes turned cold, he stared straight into the servant's eyes, and said slowly, "You better not be lying."

The servant trembled from being stared at, and hurriedly said: "I'm telling the truth! I'm willing to be bombarded by five thunders if I tell half a lie!"

Han Tian turned his eyes away when he heard the words, waved his hands helplessly, let go of the servant, and signaled him to leave.
