Liu Jun, who was enjoying delicious food at Bai's house, thought that this incident was over, but he never expected that this incident was just the beginning.
"Master, Master" A servant of the Bai family hurriedly ran into the hall where Liu Jun and the others were eating.
"How rude is it to be in a panic?" Bai Shanyu, who had been chatting with Liu Jun just now and was still smiling, his face instantly turned cold and he glared at the servant who rushed in.
The servant was frightened by this glare and stood there at a loss.
"Say, what's the matter!" Bai Shanyu said coldly, making up his mind. If what he said was not a big deal, there would be no need to keep this short-sighted subordinate.
"Tuo, the old lady of Tuoba's family is dead," the servant said after hesitating for a moment.
"What? Say it again" Bai Shanyu's eyes widened and he felt like he was hearing hallucinations.
"The old lady of the Tuoba family is dead," the servant repeated.
Bai Shanyu was silent for a moment. The death of the old lady of the Tuoba family was no less than a blockbuster for the City of Bones, and it would definitely turn the entire City of Bones upside down.
The only relationship between Tuoba Yunli and the Tuoba family is his grandmother. Now that his grandmother is dead, the relationship between Tuoba Yunli and the Tuoba family is no longer so close.
"Do you know the cause of the old lady's death?" Liu Jun suddenly asked.
The old lady must have been pretending to be sick when she was in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, so Liu Jun felt strange that her death was so sudden.
“I don’t know, the news hasn’t been revealed yet, but the Lord of the City has ordered that all the gates of the City of Bones be sealed, only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed,” the servant replied.
Liu Jun nodded, and it became clear that the old lady must have died of homicide, and Tuoba Yunli's order to close the city must be to catch the murderer.
"When will the old lady's funeral be held?" Liu Jun asked again.
Bai Shanyu looked at Liu Jun with a puzzled expression on his face, "Sir, what do you want?"
"Go and have a look, maybe you will get something unexpected," Liu Jun said with a smile.
Bai Shanyu is even more confused. What can be gained by going to someone else’s funeral?
Liu Jun did not explain. He felt that there was a big hand hidden in the Bone City, and his intuition told him that this big hand was probably related to the old man who raised the corpse.
Seeing Liu Jun's expression, Bai Shanyu didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he was a little happy in his heart because he also wanted to go to the funeral.
As one of the three major families in Bone City, no matter what the reason, he should go to the funeral of the city lord's mother, and he also needed to explore the truth and see what the relationship between Tuoba Yunli and the Tuoba family was like.
If Tuoba Yunli has nothing to do with the Tuoba family, it goes without saying that there will only be two major families in Bone City from now on.
Not long after the three of them finished eating, news came again that the old lady's funeral had been scheduled for three days. Tuoba Yunli also sent three invitations with the time written on them.
Two of them belong to Liu Jun and Xiao Hei, and the other belongs to Bai Shanyu.
In an exquisite courtyard of the Bai family, Liu Jun and Xiao Hei sat opposite each other at the stone table.
"This Tuoba Yun ceremony is very particular. I also send invitations to funerals." Xiao Hei looked at the invitation in his hand and muttered.
"It's just normal etiquette. I'll find a chance to get close to the old lady's body tomorrow to see how the old lady died," Liu Jun said as he picked up the tea cup.
Xiao Hei's eyes widened, "Don't make trouble. During the autopsy at the funeral, it would be weird if Tuoba Yunli didn't fight with you."
Although Xiao Hei knew that Tuoba Yunli couldn't beat Liu Jun, but in line with the principle that if you don't cause trouble, you won't be exposed, you still give advice.
"Don't worry, I know a lot about it." Liu Jun waved his hand, looking indifferent.
Xiao Hei looked at Liu Jun with suspicious eyes. From the time he came into contact with Liu Jun until now, he found that Liu Jun was indeed strong, but he was not really a reliable leader.
After a night of silence, Bai Shanyu had someone send him new clothes early the next morning. The materials of these clothes were similar to those worn by Liu Jun, but the color was lighter. After all, he was attending a funeral. It's too conspicuous, which is a bit troublesome.
After everything was ready, the group took a carriage to Tuoba's house.
I have to say that Tuoba's house does have the feeling of a nouveau riche. There are stone lions at the door. This Tuoba's house has its door directly replaced by gold lions, and there is no fear of others stealing it.
When you walk into Tuoba's house, the decoration style is similar to that of Bai's house, with the same rockery, running water, and various rare plants. Guests are coming and going, all whispering about something.
However, when Liu Jun and his group came over, the scene became quiet for an instant, and countless eyes gathered in. Liu Jun and his group immediately became the focus of attention.
"What's going on?" Xiao Hei said somewhat uncomfortably.
"It is inevitable for the two adults to be surrounded by people because of their respected status. It really disturbs the two adults." The person who came out to greet the Tuoba family was another manager of the Tuoba family, a man in his sixties. Bald old man. It stands to reason that with Liu Jun's status, even if it is not Tuoba Yunli, the person who comes to greet them must be the head of the family, Tuoba Shangshui.
However, Liu Jun and the others would not find anything wrong with this funeral. The most important thing is that the bald old man has an unusual status. His status is second only to Tuoba Yunli and Tuoba Shengshui. , can be regarded as one of the most influential people in the Tuoba family.
"Top one million?" Bai Shanyu asked with a hint of doubt.
The corner of Liu Jun's mouth twitched, this name is quite good, Tuoba Wanwan, are there a few brothers named Shiwanwanwan?
“The Master of the Bai family is just a poor monk,” Tuo Ba said in millions of replies.
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Bai Shanyu's heart, Tuoba Wanwan smiled bitterly, "Although the poor monk has become a monk, he has not escaped the troubles of the mortal world. After his mother passed away, he naturally wanted to come back to see him one last time."
"The world is ever-changing, so I'm sorry," Bai Shanyu replied.
Although the Bai family and the Tuoba family are enemies, Bai Shanyu still speaks politely to Tuoba Wanwan, because Tuoba became a monk several years ago and has long since cut off contact with the Tuoba family. If it weren't for If the old lady is gone, Tuoba Wanwan will not be here.
While a few people were being polite, a servant of the Tuoba family had already informed Tuoba Yunli and Tuoba Shangshui, who were guarding the funeral, about the arrival of Liu Jun and others.
“Aren’t you going to greet her?”
In the mourning hall, Tuoba Yunli knelt in front of the old lady’s coffin and said without raising his head.
Takuba Shangshui, who was kneeling next to him, had a flash of hatred in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. He did not think that his son was killed by others, and he still thinks that his son was killed by Liu Jun. of.
It's just that the other party is simply not someone he can mess with, so he has to hold back.
"For the sake of grandma, I advise you not to offend those two people again, otherwise no one can save you, so you can do it yourself." Seemingly seeing the hatred in Tuoba Shangshui's eyes, Tuoba Yunli said calmly reminded.
Having said this, it will only be like this. Tuoba Yunli does not intend to have anything to do with the Tuoba family anymore. After three days of vigil, he will bury his grandma and will wholeheartedly take care of her bones. Lord of the city.
“I understand,” Tuoba Shangshui said unwillingly.
Actually, even if Tuoba Yunli didn't say anything, Tuoba Shangshui would not provoke Liu Jun again, so the funeral went smoothly.
Liu Jun and others did not come here simply to have a meal. As the deceased is the most important person, they naturally went to the mourning hall to pay their respects.
There were fireworks in the mourning hall, and a pure black coffin was placed on the platform in the middle of the back of the mourning hall. There were some talismans attached to the coffin.
As soon as he entered the mourning hall, Liu Jun's attention was attracted by these talismans.
The densely packed strange runes on these talismans looked familiar to Liu Jun, but he didn’t recognize any of them.
"Huh? These talismans are exactly the same as those affixed to the coffins in the corpse-raising station." Xiao Hei on the side said in surprise, but the voice was not loud, and only Liu Jun and Bai Shanyu heard it.
Liu Jun took out a talisman from his arms. He tore it off the huge coffin at the corpse-raising station. Sure enough, it was the same as the one on the coffin of the old lady Tuoba's family.
“Lord Tuoba, I would like to ask, who posted these talismans?” Liu Jun asked Tuoba Yunli directly.
Tuoba Yunli was stunned for a moment, and then looked at a monk wearing monk's robes next to the coffin, who kept chanting something.
In fact, Liu Jun saw this monk as soon as he entered the mourning hall. However, this monk was just an ordinary person with no cultivation at all, so he automatically ignored it.
"You mean, these talismans were made by this monk?" Liu Jun couldn't help but asked.
It's not that there's anything surprising about monks drawing talismans, but the energy contained in these talismans is simply impossible for an ordinary monk to draw.
Without waiting for Tuoba Yunli to answer, Liu Jun walked straight towards the monk who was chanting the mantra. When he got closer, Liu Jun suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Just listen to the monk chanting: Amitabha, don’t come to trouble me, Amitabha, don’t come to me.
As if sensing someone approaching, the monk turned around suddenly, only to see Liu Jun looking at him with a smile.
"You, you, me, me" Before Liu Jun could say anything, the monk panicked.
Tuoba Yunli on the side frowned. He didn't know this monk. Tuoba came to the water to find him. Because of his grandmother's sudden death, he was not in the mood to care about it. Now look, what did he find? Liu Jun didn't need to say anything, he could see that this guy was not a serious monk.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking you something, just answer truthfully." Liu Jun patted the monk on the shoulder and said with squinted eyes.
