"Don't talk nonsense, is your third brother still here?"

"He, don't mention it, he is not worthy of you at all, I think you should not be my third sister-in-law... What era is it now, and there is such a thing as the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker? We women are no worse than men, You should pursue your own happiness..."

"Is there someone like you who is a younger sister?" Chen Lanxin was amused, and laughed out loud.

The two talked enthusiastically and went out the back door.

A black carriage with two horses running side by side picked up Chen Lanxin.

The sound of hoofbeats, through the twilight, they are far away.

Yang Lin was full of doubts at first, and wanted to ask the two of them, but when the other party talked and laughed, he lost his mind.

Fourth Younger Sister Yang and Chen Lanxin obviously didn't take themselves seriously, and ignored them when they walked by.

Thinking of the incident when the housekeeper Agui stopped him from going to the study.

Yang Lin was silent.

Perhaps, cheap parents really take good care of my life and love them very much, but their prejudices are too deep in their hearts, thinking that their third son is really not very successful, and they will not let themselves know about major events.

If you ask, you will be perfunctory, and you will not be able to ask anything.

Moreover, he would also worry that he would go out and talk nonsense and spoil things.

This is not easy to do.

have eaten.

No one cares about him.

Back in his small courtyard, he took a quick bath under the service of Xiao Mushroom, and Yang Lin studied the birthmark on his chest again.

He punched and kicked, recalling some boxing skills he had seen on the Internet in later generations, as well as some attack methods such as Sanda, boxing, and muay thai, and carefully practiced for a while...

Consciously gaining some experience, I checked the birthmark of Yanwuling again, and found that the column of martial arts was still nothing.

There was a long silence.

Yang Lin gave up dejectedly.

"Little Mushroom, is Uncle Da back?"

Lying on his back on the bed, Yang Lin felt very tired.

"Not yet? Agui's housekeeper didn't even come to report, young master, go to bed early."

There was the muffled sound of the little mushroom outside, apparently about to fall asleep.

She is a close maid who has been serving Young Master Yang since she was a child. She also helps cover the quilt and pour the urinal at night, so she sleeps on the small bed outside the door, separated by a curtain.

When Yang Lin first came here, he was not used to it.

Later, I couldn't live without this little girl anymore. I felt that this evil old society was actually very good.

"Ok."

Yang Lin sighed, and fell asleep with a heavy heart, and we will talk about it tomorrow if there is anything to do.

……

Early the next morning.

The sky is still gray, only the white belly can be seen.

There was a "dong dong" knock on the door.

"Third young master, get up quickly, it's not good."

It was the voice of the housekeeper Agui.

Little Mushroom woke up startled from sleep, got up quickly, put on his clothes twice, opened the door and poked his head out, asking, "What's the matter with the housekeeper?"

Yang Lin also sat up abruptly, forced his sleepy eyes to open, and saw Agui standing at the door with a pale face.

In the chilly spring, his lips were darkened, and his body was still swaying slightly.

"Tingru... Tingru's family, it's over, it's over."

What?

Yang Lin, who was not fully awake, turned his head around with difficulty, and his eyes widened.

Duke Tingru is Chen Tingru, the father of Chen Lanxin.

The Chen family is a wealthy grain merchant in Hangzhou, and they are actually Yang Lin's future family.

The Yang family and the Chen family are good friends and have a very close relationship.

The children of both parties are brothers and sisters, so they must visit each other during the holidays.

Yang Lin and Chen Lanxin were engaged to be married, although Chen Lanxin never let go, and the two never got married.

But in the eyes of the two families, getting married is a matter of time.

What does it mean?

Yang Lin was startled and jumped out of bed.

Chapter 005 Murder

When Yang Lin hurried to the door of Chen's house in a carriage with Little Mushroom, there was already a circle of people around.

Before entering the door, the smell of blood could be smelled in the air through the high courtyard wall.

The smell is offensive and disgusting.

Next to the stone lion outside the door, there were two young men in police uniforms, bending over and retching loudly.

Yang Lin's eyebrows trembled, and his heart grew colder.

Thinking of what she saw at home yesterday, Chen Lanxin even came to visit her home, could it be that she is gone?

He strode into the door, and no one came to stop him. He walked through the outer courtyard and came to the hall, where he saw corpses thrown down here.

Father Yang Shoucheng had already arrived, standing in front of the corpse of an old man lying on his side on the steps, his eyes were wide open, his teeth were clenched, and his fists were clenched.

"Brother Chen, I'm late."

He growled hoarsely.

"Who is it? Who is so vicious? There are 38 members of the Chen family, including the elderly, weak, women and children..."

Not far away, next to the colonnade, the fourth sister Yang Ying half knelt on the ground, tightly covering her mouth, and sobbed softly.

In front of her is Chen Lanxin.

Ms. Chen fell to the ground, with her arms bent and stretched, pointing at her neck obliquely, a dagger pierced her neck, and blood flowed all over the floor.

Her head was turned at a strange angle, and her eyes were wide open, as if she wanted to see something clearly and remember something.

Yang Lin took a long breath, raised his head and closed his eyes, unable to bear to look any further.

He actually didn't know much about the other corpses lying around. Even Mr. Chen, he had only met once and never said a word.

After all, it hasn't been too long since I came to this world, and the experience of my previous life is only in my memory.

However, Miss Chen Lanxin has met her many times. Although the words are not speculative, most of the time they broke up on bad terms, but she is finally an acquaintance, and in name, she is also his fiancée.

Especially, yesterday evening, he also met Miss Chen in real life, and saw her smiling like a flower.

Yang Lin also wondered if the other party went to study in Japan, would he find a way to invite someone to come to divorce him, and would he also say something like "Don't bully the young and poor" to express his dissatisfaction.

But I didn't expect that things are impermanent.

Before she had time to pretend to be aggressive and slap her in the face, the girl was already gone.

This wicked old society.

Yang Lin felt as if he was blocked in his heart.

Uncle Da's complexion was heavy, he carefully inspected some of the dead, walked over with a frown, and said in a low voice: "It was done by the same person, the murderer used a cinnabar palm, which has reached the point of supernatural power, and its strength is very ferocious. "

"Brother Tie should have been the first to discover the whereabouts of the murderer. He had a stick in his hand. Logically speaking, he should be able to protect everyone, but he didn't go through two moves."

"The other party bent his 38-jin water-milled steel rod with a palm, and the force of the steel rod knocked backwards. At the same time, it also collapsed his sternum..."

[呵啦...]

Wu Zhongda ripped off the clothes on the chest of a mighty middle-aged corpse five steps away from the entrance of the main hall.

You can see a wound on the opponent's chest.

It was a five-petal plum blossom-shaped imprint the size of a chicken heart.

The imprint is dark red and black, very conspicuous.

"A master of divine power, a master who is good at cinnabar palms, there is no such thing in Hangzhou. It seems that there is a strong dragon crossing the river."

Yang Shoucheng's eyebrows twitched wildly, his expression was in a daze, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and asked, "Master Wang, have you ever heard of such a number one person?"

Mr. Wang is called Wang Zhenwei. He is the inspector of the Hangzhou police station. He is in charge of arresting robbers and arresting criminals on a daily basis. When a massacre occurred in his jurisdiction, he cannot escape.

When he got the news, he rushed over immediately, arriving earlier than the rest of the Yang family.

At this time, there was no such thing as on-site protection, and Wang Zhenwei looked around to check the cause of death of the deceased with a fierce face.

It can be seen that his heart is also very heavy.

He helped the big-brimmed hat that was slightly crooked, and pondered: "The cinnabar palm is also called the plum blossom hand, and the wound in the palm is like a plum blossom... There were 28 plum blossom bloodstains on the wounds of the Chen family's deceased, and all of them died in the hands of one person. This person is cruel and ruthless..."

"I have heard of such a person. One of the four big red sticks of the Qing Gang, Xueshou Buchen, has a cinnabar palm for 20 years and is extremely powerful."

"What's strange is that the territory of the Qing Gang is mainly concentrated in Shanghai, so why would they go to Hangzhou to kill people? There's no need..."

He hesitated to speak, obviously, he was also very scratching his head towards Bu Chen.

He didn't want to associate this case with the Qing Gang at all.

Now the Qing gang is very powerful, claiming to have thirty thousand disciples, all of them can fight and fight.

Moreover, it also has relationships with the upper classes in various places, and its business is all over the south of the Yangtze River.

In particular, businesses such as tobacco, brothels, and gambling houses are blooming everywhere.

No one knows who is the spy of the Qing gang. Once they are targeted by them, they may be sacked every time they go out.

The point is, without evidence, even Wang Zhenwei dare not trouble the other party.

"It should be him. The Qing Gang has no scruples in doing things for the people. The reason why they came to the Chen family is probably due to a reason that we don't know."

Wu Zhongda said fiercely: "Brother Tie's Wulang gossip stick is wonderful and ingenious, he is the best at defense, and his moves are heavy. Ordinary masters must not let him be beaten to death if he can't even fight back."

You know, as one of the Four Heroes of Hangzhou, Tie Hedong is as famous as Wu Zhongda in terms of skill and ability, and he is not much weaker.

Now, he was beaten to death on the spot with a broken stick, and he couldn't even escape.

Wu Zhongda inevitably felt a bit sad?

"Hey, for some reason, too many things have happened in Hangzhou City recently. Is it a violation of Tai Sui?"

Wang Zhenwei sighed, he couldn't solve the case, and couldn't catch the murderer, so he was actually having a hard time.

Last time, because of the assassination case in the western suburbs outside the city, he had already been reprimanded by the town governor.

This time, I still don't know how to pass the level.

"Chen Jiageng studied in a family heirloom. As the most conscientious Confucian businessman in Hangzhou City, although his family business is not small, he has never had any grudges with people from the Jianghu..."

Mr. Yang's face twitched a few times, thinking of a possibility, he quietly clenched his fists even tighter.

In the end, these people still did not discuss any ending.

Although there are not many people who have achieved success in practicing cinnabar palms, there are still some such people scattered across the country.

Also, just because the Qing Gang has such a master, the name of the murderer cannot be assigned to "Blood Hand" Bu Chen.

Of course, according to Yang Lin's guess, maybe Wang Zhenwei thought he couldn't afford to offend the other party, so he didn't dare to approach him.

In fact, he didn't even issue a arrest warrant.

He just said that he would step up efforts to solve the case, but he didn't say a date.

He had no choice but to send someone to help the Chen family deal with the funeral.

Because it's a murder, it's not easy to make a fuss, and it's buried in a hurry, and that's it.
