Chapter 9417 Idiot
Suzaku Mountain Cave.
Luo Fengtang did not walk out of the cave immediately.
He stayed in the first hall and took out the bamboo skewers from the bamboo skewer bucket on the table one by one. When he took out the ninth one, the seat below slowly rose up and finally returned to the to the original position.
The seat stopped and everything seemed to be back to where it started.
But Luo Fengtang has already figured out how to open the mechanism here, and can only go in again when he is ready next time.
We can't go down now, not until we find another Mohist master.
It is actually not that difficult to find masters of the Mohist family. You just need to write a letter to Luo Xingchen and let him go and find it.
Luo Fengtang took off the clothes on his upper body and took off the soft hedgehog armor outside.
He took out the golden sore medicine and applied it to the wound.
After he had taken care of his wounds and put his clothes back on, Zi Yan walked in from the outside.
“Has everything been taken care of?”
Luo Fengtang raised his head and said.
Now he can no longer see the signs of injury.
"Well, it has been arranged. We will wait until the news comes back. Generally speaking, except for the killer, all other troubles in Suzaku County have been almost solved."
Purple smoke.
“The problem is the killer.”
Luo Fengtang turned over and placed a short crossbow arrow on the table.
"This is the weapon that the killer used to sneak attack me."
This crossbow arrow has a blood groove on it and looks dull.
However, it is not as simple as it seems.
The surface of the crossbow arrow is covered with fine textures, looking like dense nebulae in the sky.
“This is the Qi-breaking arrow from the Jiangnan Tang Sect.”
Zi Yan recognized the origin of the crossbow arrow at a glance.
"The Tang Sect in Jiangnan has always been on good terms with the imperial court. How could their Qi-breaking arrows appear in the hands of the killer?"
Luo Fengtang frowned.
“This is a problem. The Qi-Breaking Arrow is a secret in the Tang Sect, and ordinary people in the world can’t get it. This kind of crossbow arrow made of Tang Sect’s unique metal, even for martial arts students. The master can break the defense."
Zi Yan was also surprised.
“Throw this question to the Tang Sect and see what they say.”
Luo Fengtang said.
"The Tang Sect is in the south of the Yangtze River."
Zi Yan means that they are out of reach now. It would be unreliable to just rely on a letter or ask the local yamen to ask.
The Tang Sect has a very high status in the martial arts world in the south of the Yangtze River. The court generally does not have much restraint on it. As long as the Tang Sect does not openly rebel, the court will turn a blind eye.
"The stars will go to Jiangnan."
Luo Fengtang said.
"That's fine, his imperial envoy from the north is coming soon, let him handle it."
Zi Yan nodded.
Zi Yan is not worried about Luo Xingchen's safety.
Luo Xingchen also has a martial arts master beside him. If he goes to Jiangnan, he will definitely make careful arrangements.
Moreover, Luo Xingchen already had the status of Customs Governor, but he had never performed his duties.
Now the customs in Haicheng are under the control of the deputy governor and managed by himself.
The handover can only be done after Luo Xingchen has gone, but in a short period of time, it will be difficult for Luo Xingchen to go directly to Jiangnan.
“Let’s put aside the matter of the Qi-Breaking Arrow and let’s talk about the killer first…”
“This killer must not be an unknown person, because he is a martial artist. Grandmaster. "
Luo Xingchen said solemnly.
"Martial arts masters generally respect their status and will not kill easily. Once a martial arts master kills people regardless of risk, the damage caused will be great." "Now that a master-level killer has appeared, I am very worried."
Luo Fengtang spoke directly from his heart.
"Even if he is a killer, he will not kill people randomly. Brother Luo, don't worry."
Zi Yan said slowly.
"I'm worried that what he forged is a murderous intention."
"If he is promoted to a master warrior and relies on a murderous intention, he will be in big trouble."
Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows.
“It shouldn’t be possible. I have rummaged through the classics in the palace secret library. Grandmaster promotions are all kinds of strange. Each grandmaster has a different perception, but none of them have ever been promoted based on murderous intentions. Therefore, I think that the killer must have a true identity on the surface. We have found those masters, and he will always reveal his secret."
Zi Yandao.
"I hope so."
Luo Fengtang did not read as many books as Zi Yan. His promotion to Grandmaster did not rely on any extraordinary insights, but blood and experience.
So, he is not very clear about the conditions required for Grandmaster promotion.
Therefore, he is still skeptical and not as firm as Zi Yan.
“Let’s go, we’ll seal this place off for the time being. When people come, we’ll investigate together.”
Luo Fengtang stood up. He was not going to act rashly, but was going to plan everything in place.
……
The Xiao family.
Above the lobby.
Nanmen Kang sat in the top position.
Xiao Boshan from the Xiao family stood below.
Standing on both sides were Nanmenkang’s fellow travelers, and they all looked at Xiao Boshan with unpleasant looks.
“Brother, you really can’t blame me. How could I have known it would be leaked.”
Xiao Boshan looked sad.
He really thought from beginning to end that he had done a good job of keeping it secret and that the matter would not be known to outsiders at all.
Even the small temple in that place was not built by him, but already existed. He just had the floor in the temple changed and made some repairs.
This kind of temple building behavior is very common in the countryside. Almost every wealthy gentry in the countryside will spend money and effort to build bridges, roads and temples.
They all still want a good reputation, so they do a lot of show-offs.
“Idiot.”
Nanmen Kang cursed because he hated the iron.
He couldn't detect any clues, which made him more depressed than deliberately leaking the news.
Because this proves that Xiao Boshan is a complete idiot.
If I had known that Xiao Boshan was so stupid, I should have left the matter to others in the Xiao family.
"Brother, I, I strictly keep secrets. I even didn't tell my father. I try to go out early and come back late, and find places to hide outside."
Xiao Boshan Still defending myself.
Because if it was confirmed that these crimes were his, then he might not even be able to save his own life.
“Don’t you understand where you are stupid?”
“The normal approach is that you should keep the same routine as before. What you did before, do what you do now and don’t do it. Do something unconventional so as not to alarm Hidden The guards' eyes and ears. "
"And what about you? What you did fully demonstrates what it means to be superfluous!
"Your extraordinary behavior just caught the attention of the hidden guards. The hidden guards have been following you for a while, but what is unclear about them? ”
Nanmen Kang said coldly.
The best way to hide is not to make people suspicious and not to cause people to investigate.
The number of hidden guards in the imperial court is limited, and their energy is also limited. It is impossible for them to check all the families in Suzaku County one by one, and they will definitely only select those that are not right.
