Murder

The basement of Eagle Bay House is the most important place in Eagle Bay House besides Eagle Shed.

The only ones who could enter the basement were the dozen or so leaders of Ying Beishe and Chi Yebai's family.As the housekeeper of Ying Beishe and Chi Yebai's bodyguard, Murong Hai also got permission to enter the basement from Chi Yebai.

The basement is heavily guarded, but there are not many guards, because to enter the basement, you must know the password of the basement, and this password is extremely complicated.

The gate of the basement is equipped with twelve hidden locks, which tightly seal the voluminous intelligence materials.There are three unlocking methods for each mechanism hidden lock, and every ten days, Chi Yebai will choose three or four of the twelve mechanism hidden locks, and set a fixed unlocking method.Those who want to enter the basement must press the corresponding mechanism in strict accordance with the sequence and the set unlocking method to successfully open the door of the basement.

This unlocking method made everyone except Chi Yebai complain endlessly. As time passed, everyone would go to Murong Hai for anything, and they were unwilling to bother to memorize these complicated unlocking methods.

But even so, there are several secret rooms in the basement.These secret rooms contain vital information. Apart from the matters related to the temple, there are also information about Shaoyi League, Shaolin, Wudang and other important Jianghu gangs.Of the several secret rooms, there was only one that Chi Xingjian forbade Chi Yebai to enter.

The secret room was also set up with a complex password, which only Chi Xingjian and Yingsuo knew, not even Chi Yebai.

Chi Yebai was once curious about what was inside, but Chi Xingjian and Yingsuo refused to tell him. Over time, as he grew up, this curiosity turned into a tacit compromise: he still wanted to know What's in it, but out of respect for his parents, he won't ask any more.

Chi Xingjian didn't expect Chi Yebai to guess the contents of the secret room, and his expression changed again and again, which was very exciting.

"I won't tell you the password." Chi Xingjian whispered, "Only the things in the secret room can't be touched. Not only you don't touch it, I hope no one will ever talk about it again."

"Father, if that's the case, why do you keep it so closely?" Chi Yebai didn't give up, "It must be valuable."

"Even if it's valuable, it can't be opened. We keep it, just for the sake of preservation, not to exchange this information for any benefit." Chi Xingjian stopped talking, and after a long silence, he changed the subject, "Do you want to know what God's information is?" I can tell you something about Yingce."

Chi Yebai was taken aback: "What can you tell me?"

"You still want to know who the gentleman who treated you is, don't you?"

Chi Yebai nodded.

"He is a child in the Eagle Battalion." Chi Xingjian said calmly, "The Eagle Battalion he is in is not the one near the imperial city, but was re-established by the old King Lu behind his back behind his back. The Eagle Battalion was established In the territory of the Jiujiang faction, because of the constant disputes within the Jiujiang faction, no one discovered such a building quietly built in the mountains."

But the construction of the Condor Battalion was stopped before it was completed.Chi Xingjian and Ying Suo spent a lot of effort to find out the details of Wen Xuanzhou, and finally dug out some clues about the old King Lu and the Shenying Camp: the new Shenying Camp has not disappeared, it has moved to a deeper mountain .

Wen Xuanzhou is a member of the Shenying Battalion.

His original place of birth is no longer reliable. It is only known that he escaped from the Shenying Camp halfway, but because of his injuries, he did not run far and fell outside the hunting paddock where King Lu was hunting.

King Lu didn't know all the children in the Shenying Camp, so he allowed the captain of the guard to pick up the children.Wen Xuanzhou also didn't know the details of this prince, he only knew that there were good people in the palace, and he even had a good name.

The accident happened when King Lu checked the files of the Shenying Camp.He found a portrait of a child who escaped, very similar to Wen Xuanzhou.

Chi Yebai immediately understood: "King Lu sent someone to kill Captain Wen and take Wen Xuanzhou away?"

"Wen Xuanzhou has returned to the Shenying Camp. He should have been disciplined and punished more severely than before." Chi Xingjian frowned, "From the time he disappeared to the time he appeared, there was a gap of more than ten years. , he should have spent most of his time in the Shenying Camp, or had already started to move around the rivers and lakes by himself. At that time, King Lu was dead, and the Shenying Camp set up by the court no longer existed."

Chi Yebai nodded: "What else?"

"No more." Chi Xingjian said coldly, "The only things I can tell you are these things. Wen Xuanzhou's life experience was found out by me and your mother. Although he is from the Eagle Camp and has many mysteries about him, but You were in a very critical situation at the time, and we had no better choice. He has nothing to do with the court, nor does he have anything to do with King Lu, as long as he can save you, we are willing to trust anyone."

"...I want to enter the secret room in the basement."

"You can't enter!" Chi Xingjian was furious, "How about Shenying Camp, Shenying Policy, Wenxuanzhou, it has nothing to do with you! Now you just need to be the head of Ying Beishe!"

Chi Yebai never told his parents what Wen Xuanzhou did in his memory.Seeing Chi Xingjian's attitude, he stopped arguing and turned around to leave the study.After leaving the study yard, he immediately quickened his pace and rushed to the entrance of the basement.

He actually knows the password of the secret room, but he just doesn't want to go against his parents.

Chi Xingjian and Ying Suo changed the password of the secret room once a month, and Chi Yebai was too familiar with the sounds of these organs.Over time, as long as he heard the sound of the hidden lock in the secret room, he knew which places had been moved and which places remained the same.

"Head?" Murong Hai came out of the basement with a pile of books in his arms, and saw Chi Yebai sneaking in from beside him.

Chi Yebai didn't answer him, and quickly pressed the mechanism from the inside with his backhand, locking the door of the basement.

The Puyun Tea House in Shifang City is closed today due to redecoration.

Dr. Tea and his assistant were discussing the position of the new plaque in front of the door, when they suddenly saw the somewhat weird middle-aged scribe standing behind him.He was silent, which startled the rest of the people.

"Aren't you going to open the door today?" the middle-aged man asked.

"It's being refurbished, refurbished, and made more beautiful."

The scribe felt a little regretful: "I came here specially to listen to the story."

"Mr. Liang has been out of the city recently, and he probably won't be back until the end of the ten-day period. You should come back then." Dr. Cha said with a smile, "I don't know what to call this gentleman?"

"Xuanzhou below." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "You can call me Mr. Wen."

He was very polite, and Dr. Cha was a little flattered: "Mr. Wen, I will remember. Next time you come over, I will arrange the best seat for you."

Wen Xuanzhou thanked him, and stood at the door to watch everyone busy.After the new sign was hung up, Dr. Cha turned around and found that he had disappeared.It was almost evening at this time, and not far from Puyun Tea House was Chunyan House, where red lights, green wine, and wine gradually became lively.

Wen Xuanzhou turned around Chunyan Building and walked straight into the alley next to the building.

The Dongcai Market in the old city of Shifang City is just ahead.He passed the stone bridge over the river and stepped into the territory of Dongcai Market.

The Dongcai market was very deserted, and two cold lamps hung high, illuminating a wonton stall by the river.The man who was cooking wontons at the stall was about 50 to [-] years old, his bare arms were full of tattoos, and he looked at Wen Xuanzhou coldly.Wen Xuanzhou smiled at him, and walked deep into the street.

There is no plan here, sewage is flowing everywhere, and a pungent smell escapes from the dilapidated door leaf.Wen Xuanzhou walked all the way, turned and turned, and finally stood in front of a door.

There were broken door gods on the door, one on the left and one on the left, and a big red cross was slapped on both faces.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened from the inside.A young man stood in the darkness holding a candle, watching him quietly.

"Did you die?" Wen Xuanzhou walked into the room and asked in a low voice.

"... Soon." The young man said.

The light in the room was dim, and he put a short candle on the table to illuminate a person on the messy bed.

Wen Xuanzhou raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter with the legs?"

The person on the bed was awakened by the sound and opened his eyes.One eye was swollen from the beating, and he could barely see in the other.Wen Xuanzhou leaned closer to look at him. If he ignored the scars on his face, he could still see some of his handsome appearance in the past.He stretched out his hand to pinch the man's arm, and the man trembled and screamed silently, with tears streaming down his face.His throat was scratched and he couldn't make a sound, only the sound of panting, like a bellows with a leak.

Wen Xuanzhou squeezed his arms a few times.The bones in both arms were broken, and the two arms were limp.

"What about the legs?" he asked in a low voice, "Why not?"

"The ankle has been removed." The young man behind him said softly, "He can't escape."

"Is it enough to remove it?" Wen Xuanzhou's voice was low, with a faint smile, "He is a member of the Shaoyi League. Everyone in the Shaoyi League has martial arts. Do you really know him?"

The young man looked at him, then at the person on the bed.

"Do you believe everything he says? He has hands and feet, he can go anywhere, and he doesn't have to stay by your side. Hasn't he lied to you a few times before?" Wen Xuanzhou laughed, "Be decisive. , just like a man."

The young man trembled slightly, and asked him, "Are you really going to kill me?"

"Yes." Wen Xuanzhou's voice was soft and gentle, as if admonishing his own students, "If you find it difficult to start, don't you still have Fang Changqing? Just let him do it. He understands everything and is willing to do anything for you. You did it."

That night, Sima Feng, who was busy with travel and dust, finally arrived at the Shaoyi League.

Among the three, Gan Le was the hardest. He was weak and nearly rolled off the horse several times. It was Sima Feng who fixed him on the horse's back with a rope before giving up.

Seeing the flag and lights of the Shaoyi League from a distance, Song Beiyan sighed, "Young Master Sima, look at his grandeur."

"What do you want to say?" Sima Feng turned around and asked, "We give you food, shelter, clothing, and a teacher for you. Do you have any complaints?"

Song Beiyan immediately replied loudly: "Although the style is magnificent, it is still the best in the young master's house!"

"Style is for others to see. A gang like the Shaoyi League has no airs, and I'm afraid they will be looked down upon." Gan Yue regained his composure and said weakly, "Are you here? I'm about to vomit again. ..."

Someone beside the road responded with a smile: "Here we are."

Gan Yue and Song Beiyan raised their heads abruptly, only to see a tall figure leading several gang members standing by the side of the road, waiting for them.

"Brother Li." Sima Feng followed Lin Shaoyi and called Li Yijin the eldest brother.He himself doesn't know Li Yijin's position in Shaoyi League, he only knows that he can do anything.

"Where's the leader?" Li Yijin asked.

Sima Feng: "I went to Jiujiang School to meet Miss Wang."

"Okay." Li Yijin said with a smile, "You guys have worked hard on the road, come with me."
