Murder

The voice was erratic, and it seemed to be crying out in great pain, and occasionally there were small human voices, which came faintly.

Chi Yebai and Sima Feng looked at each other and ran wildly at the same time.

The branch behind him shook: the two people who had been following him also caught up.But they were weak on their feet, and they were quickly lost in pursuit.Sima Feng and Chi Yebai hid in the tree, watched the two turn back and immediately jumped off the tree. "The voice came from over there." Chi Yebaifei said quickly, "If you and I didn't have deep internal strength, we might not be able to hear it."

"Let's go, before Shao Jinjin arrives." Sima Feng ran out first.

Chi Yebai whispered behind him: "But this is too coincidental. Shao Jinjin assured you and me to go up the mountain like this, but didn't take precautions. It's as if we deliberately let us find that voice."

The two chatted briefly, and after a few lifts, they had already arrived outside a dilapidated courtyard.The courtyard was surrounded by rough brick walls, and it was from inside that the painful moans came.The two of them walked out of the yard and already smelled a rotten smell. It seemed that food or animal carcasses had been discarded for a long time, and the stench was overwhelming.

The two held their swords in their hands, and Sima Feng stepped up and opened the door.

The yard is not big, and there is a small house in the yard, with a small door and a small window.An iron chain extended from the door, firmly binding the ankle of a person in the hospital.Chi Yebai slightly handed out the fire folder, illuminating the person sitting in front of the two of them.The man's ankles were bloody, his face was disheveled, and his body was filthy. He was hugging the festering wound and screaming in pain. He didn't even respond to someone coming.

Both Sima Feng and Chi Yebai were taken aback.They never thought that there was a beggar-like person imprisoned here.

Chi Yebai glanced left and right, and sure enough, he saw half-eaten chickens, ducks, mice and other things thrown by the wall. In the faint light of the fire, it could be seen that they had piled up into a ball, and stinky water dripped out from under the debris.The man was sitting in the stinky water, unable to see his face clearly, his hands and feet were thin, and he could only twitch and cry.

"Who are you?" Sima Feng took two steps forward and asked cautiously, "Why are you here?"

The man raised his head, and Sima Feng found that it was an old man with gray hair in a mess.

But he was yelling, his voice was vague and he could not hear clearly.Sima Feng stared at him closely, and took the fire folder from Chi Yebai's hand so that he could see the man's appearance clearly.

"This person seems to be crazy." He whispered, "He's very insane." Chi Yebai heard the sound and leaned over to take a closer look.

The man suddenly laughed strangely, with tears streaming down his face, but his mouth was wide open.Sima Feng was so startled that he took a step back, his shoes stepped into the smelly water, and there was a strange snap.

At this time, there was a faint fire outside the courtyard, and then there were noisy footsteps coming from afar. "Shao Jinjin is here." Sima Feng whispered, "He deliberately let us see this man. This man's left little finger and ring finger are gone, there are three old knife wounds on his left arm, and there is a mole under each eye. It's impressive, but I can't remember who he is."

Chi Yebai nodded: "He tortured this man into this state to vent his resentment."

Sima Feng asked curiously, "Do you know this person?"

"I don't know, but I know." Chi Yebai said, "The little finger and ring finger of this man's left hand, as well as the three old knife wounds on his left arm were all cut by his sister. There is a mole under each eye, which belongs to the He family. Unique mark. This is He Sanxiao's second brother, He Erying."

Sima Feng was startled, and immediately remembered the truth about the legend of the Red God Rong Jian said.

"No." Sima Feng said immediately, "He Sanxiao hates his brother, but this has nothing to do with Shao Jinjin. It is not Shao Jinjin who really tortured He Erying, but He Sanxiao's apprentice, He Ling."

The visitors have arrived outside the courtyard, holding up their torches.Shao Jinjin stood in the middle, looking expressionlessly at Sima Feng and Chi Yebai who came out of the courtyard.

"Pavilion Master Shao, what does this mean?" Sima Feng asked with a smile as he looked at the weapons in the hands of Wuyan Pavilion disciples.

"The two of you came from afar and said you wanted to go to the Chishen Peak, and Shao didn't stop you, did you?" Shao Jinjin said calmly, "Although Wuyan Pavilion is on the Chishen Peak, it never dares to call itself its master. Patriarch Sima You and I are very clear about what He and Chi's family went to Chishen Peak for, and Shao's heart is open and bright, and he never doubts their intentions. The two even took the initiative to greet my wife, and Shao's heart is even more grateful."

"I don't doubt it, what kind of posture is this?" Sima Feng looked around, and found that Wuyan Pavilion people surrounded the place tightly, and it was really difficult for the two of them to escape.

He thought for a while, and asked directly: "Since Pavilion Master Shao let us come up openly, he naturally knew that we would meet the people in this courtyard. Won't Pavilion Master Shao explain a thing or two to us?"

"As Master Chi said, this is He Erying." Shao Jinjin said.

He is also a well-known Jianghu master with strong inner strength, and he has long heard the content of the conversation between the two in the courtyard.Sima Feng immediately realized that he should have heard himself mention He Ling.

"He Erying and his brother He Yixiong joined forces in the early years, and fabricated rumors against my wife's master many times or caused troubles. I was so tired that Zhao Meifeng's disciples were nervous day and night. He Erying lost his martial arts and sanity because he was hunted down by the enemy. Kuangsang, my wife is kind-hearted, and took him back to the mountain after many searches. But his madness was so severe that we couldn't get close, so we had to put him here." Shao Jinjin was extremely calm, "Let the two of you see this unbearable situation. In the scene, it was Shao who was wrong. He Erying has not recovered from his madness, and I am afraid that the two distinguished guests will be injured."

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai looked at each other without speaking.

"It's late at night, so please follow me back to the pavilion to rest." Shao Jinjin had a smile on his face at this moment, "This place is too dirty, so I won't stay for long. Although He Erying has done many wrong things, but My wife has always been reluctant to punish him, and has always been very contradictory. If she knows that this man has frightened the two distinguished guests, I'm afraid she will blame herself again."

Chi Yebai had a lot of questions in his mind to ask, but Sima Feng squeezed his hand. "Okay, please lead the way, Pavilion Master Shao. We are going back. There are no clues on Chishen Peak. We disturbed Pavilion Master Shao. Please forgive me."

Shao Jinjin smiled and made a please gesture.

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai walked for a long time on the mountain road, and when they turned their heads, they still saw Shao Jinjin and the people from Wuyan Pavilion standing on the mountainside and watching them off.

The light from the candles illuminated the pitch-black mountain road and the dense forest. Shao Jinjin stood in front of him with his arms folded, only showing a dark shadow, with no expression on his face at all.

"Sima, we shouldn't be leaving." Chi Yebai said in a low voice, "He Ling hasn't seen it yet, and the top part of Chishen Peak hasn't been seen yet, maybe..."

"You can't leave. Even if you are brave and there are so many people in Wuyan Pavilion, if something happens, Shao Jinjin will charge us with trespassing. We, Sima's family and Ying Beishe , but I couldn’t eat and walked around.” Sima Feng rode on the horse, shaking his head, “Shao Jinjin obviously wanted to show us He Erying. But why? Why did he let us know of He Erying’s existence?”

"This is a temptation. Every word he said is inseparable from He Ling." Chi Yebai said, "We went to Chishen Peak to investigate the abduction case of young children in the city. Shao Jinjin knew it very well. He took He Erying Showing it to you and me is to find out how much we know. If you and I know He Erying, he can tell the story of Mei Feng and He Sanxiao. If you and I know He Erying, see what he looks like now , I just feel that I deserve it.”

"Hmm..." Sima Feng held the rein and said slowly, "I remember, he took the initiative to say that He Ling is kind."

"If we don't know He Erying, and he tells the past of the He brothers and sisters, He Ling is a resolute woman who has suffered so much but still wants to avenge her master. If we know He Erying, He Ling is also so resolute. In this resolute In addition, she also added a kindness. You see, she took He Erying back to Chishen Peak, how kind." Chi Yebai also lowered his voice, "In short, it all falls on He Ling in the end. "

"You're so kind..." Sima Feng nodded, "It's very interesting to be kind."

"I always feel that there are still some vague and unclear lines about the He brothers and sisters." Chi Yebai said, "Go back first. I'll ask the people in the dormitory. They may not necessarily submit some information to me. If you don’t see it, you won’t remember it either.”

"Yingbeishe can go into the Wuyan Pavilion to investigate." Sima Feng said, "There is no place in the world that Yingbeishe can't enter, right? You go and check, and you will naturally know what happened inside, which is better than ours." It’s much faster to go step by step.”

Chi Yebai looked up at him in astonishment: "That won't work."

Sima Feng: "...why not?"

"Eagle Beishe's investigation of information is mainly for two purposes. One is to complete the entrustment of the employer, and the other is because the value of the information is too high, so we will take the initiative to contact it. If someone entrusts, and the information is of great value, But the risk is far higher than its value, and we will weigh it, and sometimes even reject it directly." His tone was blunt and unquestionable, "The matter of Wuyan Pavilion and Pengyang does not meet the two conditions, and The risk is too great."

Sima Fengwan didn't expect him to refuse, and was speechless for a while.The sound of the two people talking disturbed the sleeping birds in the forest, and the birds took off one after another, cooing.Sima Feng reined in the horse's head, took a small step to catch up with Chi Yebai, and said in a low voice: "This is related to the life of Pengyang's child, don't be too twisted. Before, you could even share top-secret information with me, let alone now For doing good?"

Chi Yebai shook his head again: "Ying Beishe can become Ying Beishe today, we have our own iron rules. Wuyan Pavilion is a well-known gang in the Jianghu. It is very risky for us to investigate. My subordinates Not all people have the skills of you and me, even Murong Hai may not be able to escape unscathed."

Sima Feng pursed his lips silently, silently looking at Chi Yebai.

Chi Yebai: "...You mean, let me go?"

Sima Feng: "No."

Chi Yebai: "Who else but me?"

He paused, then asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'm cold-blooded?"

Sima Feng quickly denied it, but Chi Yebai's face was already not looking good.He didn't respond to Sima Feng again, and remained silent all the way until he returned to Yingbei She's Pengyang branch.

The two didn't continue the little dispute just now, Chi Yebai called a few people from the separate dormitory to ask, and they really asked some interesting things.

"Mrs. Shao was born in Zhaomei Peak, but she was sent to Wuyan Pavilion and grew up with Pavilion Master Shao since she was a child." The head of the sub-house said quickly, "We found a midwife in Pengyang City today. I went to Zhaomei Feng to deliver the baby, and the mother is Zhaomei Feng's Heavenly Mother."

Chi Yebai stood up suddenly: "He Ling is He Sanxiao's daughter?!"

"Yes." The head replied immediately, "He Sanxiao wanted to strangle the baby after giving birth, but was snatched by the midwife. Shao Jinjin's mother happened to be taking care of Meifeng at that time, so she brought the baby girl back to Wuyan Court care."

"No wonder He Ling wants to torture He Erying..." Sima Feng murmured, "She is avenging her mother."

"The midwife said one more thing." The chief said again, "He Sanxiao is by no means giving birth for the first time."
