treacherous world

Li Feifei took a risky move this time, and wanted to use Zhan Zhao's hands to get rid of the weirdo, but he was able to figure it out, but he probably didn't expect to give everyone more clues.

Of course, there is some element of luck in it, such as asking about the ancient silk from Shanjin people, or Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang being able to capture that strange man alive.

But... Everyone felt that Li was very ignorant of the secret of silk and satin, and the possibility was very small. Besides killing people with a knife, did he have other thoughts? !

There are two problems for Zhan Zhao and the others:

First, how do they persuade those angry people, or in other words, turn this unfavorable situation around?Second, how to pry open the weird man's mouth and get more clues from him.

"What about the excited people outside?" Zhan Zhao and the others all looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun is also helpless, everyone has formed a habit, and the first reaction when there is an emergency is to let him think about it.I can only say, "Now is a dilemma. In other words, it is also the key! We must be cautious in this step, and we will be in control of the overall situation if we make a mistake. If we make a mistake, we may make mistakes."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "We pretended to agree and admit that we caught the Yinshan monster. This will make Li Gang and his son relax their vigilance. Or else we will refuse to admit it? Let their plan come to nothing!"

"Well... if you follow the plan, you have to take some risks." Liu Xie frowned and considered, "after all, you have to be cautious about deceiving the people. If you don't admit it, you may startle the snake... It's better to delay it a little bit and learn more Information to decide?!"

Zhan Zhao stared at him and nodded secretly, Liu Xie was thoughtful in everything he did, he was steady and neither arrogant nor impetuous, very much like Master Bao.

"Let's do this," Zhao Pu said, "Lord Liu will go out to appease the people first, as long as it lasts! I'll send the shadow guards out to keep an eye on those squires. And let's go meet that strange man first, and see if we can find any clues. "

Everyone felt that it was safe and sound at this time, so they split up.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Gongsun and Zhao Pu went into the house to meet the weird man, but everyone knew that it might take some effort to get him to speak!

After closing the door, everyone stood around the cage, staring at the strange man inside. Zhan Zhao stepped forward to help him take off his turban and his binding rope.Originally, he also had his acupuncture points tapped, but he was tied up just to show people with ulterior motives when he came back.

"What's your name?" Zhan Zhao asked him.

The man bowed his head and said nothing.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun and raised his eyebrows—is there any medicine that tells the truth obediently after taking it?You can study it if you have time.

Gongsun glared at him - it's better to help him figure out a way if he has time to be silly, is he from the northwest tribe?

Zhao Pu turned his head and looked at the man up and down, secretly marveling in his heart—he is really tall and tall, and he is definitely not a Han Chinese.

After thinking about it, Zhao Pu scratched his chin and asked, "Where are you from?"

The man still lowered his head, as if he was deaf and dumb, and he was beaten to death and did not speak.

"It's useless if you don't talk like this." Zhan Zhao persuaded him, "If you are revenge for the Xu family in Ju's year, why not tell the whole story, we will definitely find out!"

The man still lowered his head, as if he had made up his mind not to say a word.

In this way, everyone present could do nothing, that's right... If he met by chance, if he was more suspicious, he would naturally not trust the officials.

Gongsun sighed, but was very interested in the pale skin on the man.

Zhao Pu found a stool and sat down, considering whether to ask the shadow guards to ask, but this man has a tough appearance, and he looks like a man at first glance, he is definitely not the kind of guy who can talk through torture.

Zhan Zhao also sat at the table, turned around, and wanted to ask Bai Yutang if he had any comments, but Bai Yutang was sitting at the table and drinking tea leisurely. This tea was the new tea he just bought a few days ago. very nice.

Zhan Zhao amused him, he was so leisurely, so he poked him and winked at him.

Bai Yutang was stunned, poured him a glass and handed it over, Zhan Zhao gave him a look——No!Let you figure out a way.

Bai Yutang looked at the weird man with his head bowed and silent in the cage, sighed softly, and said to Zhao Pu, "Let your entire city catch falcons, and then kill all the animals in the mountains and set them on fire." Mountain."

"Don't!" The man raised his head abruptly, staring at Bai Yutang with wide eyes, "No!"

Everyone raised their eyebrows at Bai Yutang - that's fine, although it's a bit mean.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, "Do you like animals in the mountains?"

The man bowed his head again and remained silent.

"Hello." Zhao Pu didn't seem to be very comfortable listening to him. Maybe he didn't know too much Chinese, so he asked him in the nonsense commonly used in the northwest, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

The man obviously understood, looked at Zhao Pu in surprise, and asked him, "Are you also from the Che clan?"

Zhao Pu was taken aback, he was a mixed race of foreign and Han races, so he was tall, and his appearance was somewhat foreign, so that strange man might have misunderstood... the Che clan.

Zhao Pu raised the corner of his mouth and shouted to the outside, "Liangzi!"

In the yard, Xiao Liang was playing with the fourth son, the fourth son was an eagle, the rock-scissors was a chicken, Xiao Liang was pretending to be an eagle, and the two children were having fun.

Hearing Zhao Pujiao, Xiao Liang quickly ran in with the fourth son, "Master."

"Does the car family know?" Zhao Pu asked.

"I know!" Xiao Liang nodded immediately after being stunned for a moment.

Xiao Liang's original tribe lived together with many tribes in the desert, and they all knew and had contacts with each other. Xiao Liang looked at the strange man, "Ah? You are from the Che tribe?"

The man stared at Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang crossed his hands in front of his chest and bent over to him, gave a salute that Che people often greet, and also said hello to him.

He was very polite and wanted to return the gift, but his acupoints were locked and he couldn't move, Zhan Zhao flicked his sleeve... His acupoints were unlocked.

After returning the gift with Xiao Liang, he seemed a little excited.

Xiao Liang said to Zhao Pu, "The Che people are very gentle and hospitable. They are not vicious people. They believe in the eagle god. Although they like hunting, they value human life very much!" , said his family, Zhao Pu's identity, and everyone is a good person, let him not doubt it.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Xiao Liang said, but judging from the expressions of their conversation, it can be seen that they trust each other, and the vigilance of the weirdo has also been eliminated, so they have a premonition that there is a clue!

The strange man was a little surprised by Xiao Liang's identity, said a lot to him respectfully, and then sat in the cage and waited.

"..." Xiao Liang understood, nodded, and said, "Master, his name is Hong Lie, he is from the Che tribe, but he has not experienced that massacre, because he was rescued by a good man when he was very young, let's come together Arrived in the Central Plains. Later, that good man’s family suffered a disaster, and he escaped by chance. Now he knows the truth of the year and came to take revenge.”

With a few concise words, everyone immediately understood.

"Ask him, did he kill those people?" Zhan Zhao quickly asked Xiao Liang to ask.

Xiao Liang asked.

After the man replied, Xiao Liang relayed, "He said that Qian Dayou was killed by him, because Qian Dayou deserved to die, and he never killed the others, and those who wanted to kill hadn't had time to do it yet."

"Where are those girls? And Li Gang's family?" Gongsun asked.

Xiao Liang asked.

The man shook his head.

"He didn't kill those people!" Xiao Liang replied, and added, "The Che people are very honest, unlike some Han people who like to lie, I believe what he said!"

Zhao Pu nodded, seeming to agree with Xiao Liang's point of view.

"Then how much does he know so far?" Zhan Zhao asked Xiao Liang, "Ask him more! What happened in the massacre that year, and how did he escape?"

"!" Xiao Liang asked, and after Hong Lie talked a lot, Xiao Liang helped to relay the story.

It turned out that when Hong Lie was very young, he was attacked by sand wolves in the desert. A caravan team happened to pass by. One of them rescued him, and that person was Xu Yuanwai.Honglie's parents died early, and Xu Yuanwai saw that Honglie was tall, honest and hardworking, so he liked him very much.It happened that he was old enough to have a child, and his wife was about to give birth, so he took Hong Lie back and became brothers with the newborn baby.After Hong Lie was brought back to the Xu family, it was the happiest time in his life. The Xu family treated him very well, his parents loved him, and the baby was also cute.But one night, everything changed suddenly, and the Xu family suffered a catastrophe.

It was a night 20 years ago. After Hong Lie had dinner, he was going to go out to the night market with Mr. Xu, but he suddenly had a stomachache and ran into the hut. But at the same time, he heard the screams of the Xu family. The sound, everyone fell to the ground bleeding from seven holes.

A few masked men rushed in with knives and killed everyone... Xu's family was powerless to fight back, and they died soon, and those people started setting fire again.

At that time, Hong Lie wanted to rush out, but his stomach hurt so badly that he couldn't even stand up, he couldn't even speak, so he could only stare at him in the hut... Those people didn't find him because of this.

I don't know how long it took, but when he felt better from the abdominal pain, his surroundings were already surrounded by flames.He was afraid of gang fights and escaped through the back door. He fled all the way to the mountain, but he suffered from stomach pains and finally rolled down the mountain.It wasn't until a long time later that he woke up, but he found... that he had turned into a whole body of snow-white.

"Maybe he was poisoned like Amao, but he has a special constitution, so he was not poisoned to death, but his whole body turned white!" Gongsun said.

Everyone nodded.

"What happened later?" The fourth son was fascinated by the sound, and urged Xiao Liang to speak quickly.

Xiao Liang continued:

Hong Lie was very scared at the time. He fell into the valley and lost his way, and passed out by the river.Just when he thought he was going to die, a fairy came to him with a white ape.

Everyone was stunned, "Immortal... White Ape?!"

When Hong Lie woke up again, he was taken to a place like a fairyland by the immortal.

The fairy told him that this is the hidden mountain.

Everyone's eyes widened—is there really a hidden mountain? !

Hong Lie was accepted as an apprentice by the immortal, and lived with him and the white ape on the mountain, learning Kung Fu.He later rescued the eagle in the mountains and forests. He has been with the wild animals in the mountains since he was a child, and he likes them very much.

Just a few years ago, the old fairy said that he could leave after he had learned Kung Fu... and told him that hatred is the root of all evil, don't lose yourself for revenge, if you have the ability, you can do more meaningful things to save people More useful than harmful!

He kept his teacher's teachings in mind, and only after he went down the mountain did he realize that he had been in the mountains and forests of Xinghua.During this period of time, he had nothing to miss and returned to his hometown of Mobei.I heard that there was a war between Liao, Xixia and Song Dynasty. A general named Zhao Pu defeated the ruthless Liao people and Xixia people, and the outside of the pass has been peaceful since then!

His hometown and friends even knew him. Although he has become a ghost, everyone likes him very much. He lives in the tribe, helps the villagers to do things, has brothers and friends, and lives very well. happy.

It's just that there is a will in everything, God destined him to do some things!

One day, a group of merchants passed by their tribe and stayed overnight. It happened that two fat gentry lived in his house with their carriages and horses.

He was very kind to the Han people, because he was grateful for the love of the relatives of the Xu family back then, but... that night, he listened to the conversation of the two Han country gentry.

These two squires are Li Gang and Qian Dayou.When the two of them were slightly drunk, they began to talk nonsense.The two of them shared a room next to Hong Lie's room, and they spoke in Sinicization, thinking that no one else could understand them, but unfortunately, Hong Lie could understand them completely.

What they said was exactly what happened to the Xu family.

It turned out that that day, they sprinkled the poison in the water tank that the Xu family used for cooking.Hong Lie remembered that at dinner that night, Xu Yuanwai said that he would take him to the street to eat his favorite small wontons at night, so he deliberately ate less, probably because of this, he escaped the catastrophe.

Not only did Li Gang and Qian Dayou not have the slightest remorse for the crimes he committed back then, on the contrary he was complacent about it.What a timid general, after slaughtering the Xu family, they are now flourishing.Then they said that the new county magistrate wanted to kill him because he would not eat or drink fine wine.But I also heard that the lord is a senior student of Xiangye Bao Zheng, so he can't move, otherwise, the old case may be discovered.

Hong Lie was very excited when he said this. He said that he wanted to kill these two people at that time, but he couldn't!Because their village relies on the merchants who come and go to stay in order to earn money and food, and the area was originally peaceful. If he did this kind of thing, he would kill the members of the tribe. It was hard for everyone to live in peace, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. , but the fire of revenge in his heart has been ignited.

Afterwards, Qian Dayou and the others left, the more Honglie thought about it, the more he felt that he should do something for Master Xu and his family, otherwise he would live in this world in vain!So, he set off to Xinghua.

He lived in the mountains, but when he came, he found that the situation in Xinghua County was not right. There were rumors of hidden mountain monsters harming people, and many people died.

Because of his strange appearance, he dared not come out for activities, and only dared to come out to investigate at night when he hid in the mountains.One day, he met a girl in the mountains...she was attacked by wild dogs when she went to the mountains to cut firewood, and was rescued by him.The girl was very kind, not afraid of him, and they became very good friends.

Hearing the word girl, everyone subconsciously thought of the girl who sang in the restaurant.

"How did you kill Qian Dayou, Li Feifan?" Everyone was curious.

"I only killed Qian Dayou, I didn't kill Li Feifan, why did I kill their son?" Hong Lie shook his head, "I just wanted to kill those gentry! Qian Dayou is the first One. But there are a lot of squires in Xinghua County who have become rich in recent years. I don’t know which ones participated in the extermination. I can only confirm Li Gang and Qian Dayou. So I wanted to follow Li Gang to find clues. It’s just that day ...I saw Li very very looking at a piece of silk in the yard..."

When he said this, Hong Lie lowered his head, "That piece of silk was given to her by a good friend of Mrs. Xu. It is very precious. Mrs. Xu said that this piece of cloth can be made for my baby and me. Clothes, so I want to get back... It is too hateful for this silk to fall into the hands of those wicked people!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, knowing the truth of the whole incident, Hong Lie said it sincerely, not like lying.

But the question arises again, if what Hong Lie said is true...then who did it that killed so many people so far? !
