“How come you see?”

"Please look, my lord. This footprint is obviously deeper than the other footprints, and the left leg exerts more force. The humble official has just observed it. None of the seventeen corpses on the ground is lame!"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

Just now that he had nothing to do, Chen Yuan had checked all the corpses on the ground to make sure that no one had any problems with their legs, and he would be so sure when he checked the footprints later.

Huang Xing stared for a long time before saying:

"good."

Soon, Huang Xing ordered people to search according to Chen Yuan's judgment.

The target is a lame fat man...

They couldn't help but ignore the murders that happened in the county.

The imperial court has already incorporated Wushengjiao into the must-kill order.

"You were the first to discover the murder in the morning?"

Chen Yuan found the first person who reported the crime, a carpenter who delivered coffins to that family.

"Yes... poor man, this morning..."

According to the middle-aged man, he was supposed to send a letter today to tell them that the coffin had been built, but the door remained closed and did not open.

After waiting for a while, he wanted to leave, but he smelled blood again, and realized something was wrong, so he pushed the door open with several fellow carpenters.

After that, when he saw the tragic situation in the mansion, he was terrified, so he ran to report to the official.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, but noticed another thing.

"Why build a coffin?"

He has observed that the master and wife of that family are not dying, and they are only in their forties, so they shouldn't have prepared for their funeral so early.

The carpenter was taken aback, and said truthfully:

"Master Liu asked us to build the coffin. He said it was for the ancestor's tomb, and he used high-quality wood..."

"Moving the grave..." Chen Yuan seemed to realize something.

"Okay, do you know why you want to move the grave?"

"I heard from Mr. Liu that Feng Shui in the old tomb is not good. I don't know if it is true."

Is there any connection between moving the grave and the murder?

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Do you know where the ancestral grave of Mr. Liu's family is?"

"I know, I know, the villain has been there once, Master Liu believes in this, and specially took us there to pay homage."

"Take me to see..."

The carpenter didn't dare to refute. To him, the servant of the county government office was already a very important person, and he was not something that small people like him could provoke.

After saying a few words, Chen Yuan went to ask the head catcher Huang Xing for instructions, but the head catcher Huang Xing objected.

"What's so interesting about the tomb? If you have the time, you might as well search the county seat."

Huang Xing scolded, seeming a little displeased.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, did not refute, and quickly said yes, but he was thinking in his heart, did he provoke Huang Xing somewhere?

Or, did he realize that he was hostile to him?

Chen Yuan didn't know, but Huang Xing had already spoken, and Chen Yuan would not stand up to him. After inquiring about the location of the Liu family's ancestor's grave in a low voice, he took a few white servants and started searching in the county.

Chapter 22 Murder

Although he was searching, Chen Yuan's mind was always on the captor Huang Xing, thinking why he would stop him from going to Liu's ancestral grave to investigate.

Is it because I think too much, Huang Xing just thinks it's useless to do so, or is there any plan that Huang Xing doesn't want me to know...

Chen Yuan exudes his own thoughts and keeps thinking. His character is like this, and he has to think over and over again even a small matter.

Cautious, suspicious, black-bellied...

They are all adults, who is still so pure in their minds?

The city of Ping'an County was still noisy, and most people didn't know that the Wusheng Sect monsters were making trouble in the city again, so there was not much panic.

On the contrary, the yamen servants of the county government are fast, each holding a long knife, staring fiercely at the passers-by on the road, and will step forward to inquire if they notice a stranger.

As for the crippled person, needless to say, they will be arrested first.

Chen Yuan opened his sky eye pupil technique, observing if there was anyone who caught his eye.

It's a pity that Chen Yuan was overthinking. How could a small Ping'an County have so many people with luck?

However, Chen Yuan himself did not have much hope, it was just a daily practice.

After a day of searching, Chen Yuan returned home. Today, the county magistrate Wu Qingfeng and the county lieutenant Li Mingqi were furious when they found out that the Wusheng Sect demons were making trouble again.

The head catcher Huang Xing gave a severe reprimand.

And Huang Xing didn't take all the blame for the crime, he turned around and began to reprimand all the yamen servants and white servants, which made people itch with hatred!

The most important thing was that Chen Yuan himself didn't understand why Huang Xing's attitude towards him suddenly dropped, and he obviously appreciated it before.

But when Chen Yuan was being reprimanded today, he found that Huang Xing seemed to have some dislike for him.

Although it was not obvious, Chen Yuan, who had been paying attention to Huang Xing, still noticed it.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Yuan could only attribute the reason to what happened today, including the judgment that one of the dozen or so members of the Liu family was killed by a lame person.

The county government arrested no less than ten lame people today, but after interrogation, there was not a single person with problems, and several old government servants also had some gossip.

It is said that after Chen Yuan killed a Wusheng sect demon, he didn't know what his last name was, thinking that he was a god who couldn't catch him?

Even a small police officer who has only been employed for more than a year dares to speak wildly.

After waiting at home until late at night, Chen Yuan went out of Ping'an County alone. He wanted to see if there was anything strange in Liu's ancestral grave.

Why is Huang Xing so displeased with the head-capturing.

And when Chen Yuan left the city that day.

Inside the study of the Huang family.

The head of the Huang family, Huang Shengnian, and the headhunter, Huang Xing, were also talking about Chen Yuan.

With a gloomy face, Huang Xing said in a low voice:

"One of my yamen servants has already noticed something."

"Yamen servant?" Huang Shengnian frowned.

On weekdays, a small yamen servant can't catch his eyes.

"He judged that the person who did the attack was a lame man. Fortunately, Lao Qi never showed up, otherwise, my Huang family would be in danger..." Huang Xing's eyes had a murderous intent.

"A small yamen servant, if you find a way to kill him..." Hearing what Huang Xing said, Huang Shengnian's expression became tense, if people found out that there was a collusion between the Huang family and the Wusheng Sect.

The Huang family is in danger, and no one can protect them.

"More than that, the yamen servant wanted to go to Liu's ancestral grave, but I stopped him..." Huang Xing continued.

Huang Shengnian stood up instantly:

"Won't you stop him from making him suspect us?"

"Brother, don't worry, today I ordered someone to restore Liu's ancestral grave, just for him to see. No matter what, the Huang family must not have the slightest possibility of being exposed."

"This yamen servant knows too much, even if he doesn't think about my Huang family, he can't stay!" Huang Shengnian slapped the table in front of him with sharp eyes.

The Huang family has worked for the Wushengjiao for many years, and the reason why nothing happened is due to a cautious attitude.

It's like the Liu family wanted to move the grave, and after the Huang family found out, they immediately sent people to destroy Liu's family, just because they didn't want to have the possibility of being exposed.

Unexpectedly, a yamen servant judged something.

The only thing he regrets now is that he sent Lao Qi to come forward and dare to use Wushengjiao's secret technique to extract blood essence in the county town, which made the county lieutenant and magistrate furious.

"Brother, don't worry, when this matter subsides, this kid will die!" Huang Xing said in a low voice.

He didn't know how many yamen servants in the county yamen had died at his hands. A small yamen servant who was only in the realm of leather refining was not in his eyes at all.

"Let the members of the Beihai Gang do it, but the Huang family can't do it. There has been a word from above that the masters of the Sky Survey Division in Fucheng are going to investigate the whole territory."

"You must not expose the Huang family..."

Huang Shengnian let out a foul breath.

"it is good……"

……

……

Liu's ancestral grave.

Chen Yuan frowned and searched, and even dug out the coffin inside, opened it and looked at it, but found nothing unusual.

Chen Yuan thought, could it be that he was thinking too much?

Liu's extermination has nothing to do with moving the grave?

No, you should know that murder cases are usually related to each other. The only major event of the Liu family recently is to move the grave.

Could it be that a few Wusheng sect monsters suddenly became interested, and then they started killing in the county town and wiped out the Liu family?

impossible,

There would be no such coincidence.

As soon as the Wushengjiao monster incident subsided, they couldn't wait to come out to make troubles. If they were so foolish, Wushengjiao wouldn't give the court such a headache!

However, no matter how Chen Yuan investigated, he didn't find anything unusual, but Chen Yuan didn't feel that the trip was in vain. He had a hunch in his heart that the Huang family was not that simple...

After a search, Chen Yuan restored the mausoleum to its original state and quietly returned to the county seat. What he didn't know was that someone was watching him all the time when he went to the Liu family's ancestral grave.

After telling Huang Xing about Chen Yuan going out of the city late at night to the Liu family's ancestral grave, Huang Xing's eyes could no longer contain the murderous intent, and Chen Yuan really went to investigate in person.

Coupled with Patriarch's instructions, Huang Xing has already moved to kill Chen Yuan, but it is not appropriate to do it now, it will take at least two days to calm down, who knows if Chen Yuan has left behind?

His death so quickly would definitely arouse suspicion.

Thinking back on Chen Yuan, Huang Xing felt that he had underestimated him before, but he did not expect him to be so thoughtful.

This son must not stay!

This was Huang Xing's thought at the moment. No matter how much a small yamen servant thinks, he can't make any troubles. He just needs to kill him, and everything will return to calm again!

At the same time that Chen Yuan was planning to kill the Huang family, the Huang family was also planning to kill Chen Yuan!

Chapter 23 Prison Head Tiexuan

Beihai Gang.

The head of the gang, Zhu Sihai, sat on the head with a big horse and a golden knife, staring at the bowing head of the hall in front of him.

"The position of the head of Iron Eagle Hall has been vacant for some time, and the gang has not yet decided who the head is. What do you think?" Zhu Sihai held a cup of tea in his hand, his voice was weak but clear. Cheering into Hall Master Wang's ear.

"All subordinates are subject to the arrangement of the leader."

Wang Meng was overjoyed, he thought that he might not be able to get his hands on the position of Hall Master, and the matter of bribing Butler Huang was in vain, but he didn't expect that another village would be brightened, but the Gang Master wanted to promote him.

Zhu Sihai's words were not clear, but Wang Meng had already realized it in his heart, but he didn't dare to get complacent at this moment, for fear that this hard-won opportunity would disappear.

"I watched you grow up step by step. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to promote you." Zhu Sihai said slowly.

"Thank you, Master, my subordinates will definitely..."

Zhu Sihai took a sip of tea and continued:

"Go and kill someone, as long as he dies, your position as hall master will basically be secured."

Wang Meng's mood took a turn for the worse, and he said quickly:

"The guild leader has orders, and his subordinates must go through fire and water. I wonder who the guild leader wants to kill?"
