Chapter 126 No matter the storm comes and goes(1/2)
Fuwei Escort Agency took over Jipi Lane, which was not only the arrangement of the Jingnan Palace, but also the outpost of the Geng family stationed in Fuzhou City. Lin Zhennan did not dare to neglect it at all.
He doesn't have to care about the behavior of switching defenses after being sober, but he must act proactively enough.
However, when Fuwei Escort ordered the eighty men and arrived at the entrance of Jipi Alley, one of the soldiers left behind by the Geng family was already bleeding from all his orifices, with his bones broken, and he died in Jipi unwilling to rest in peace.
Under the archway of the alley!
The bodyguards were all experts in the world and had special experience in trauma examinations. They quickly determined that someone had approached him from behind and smashed the Tianling Bone with such great force that he didn't even have time to shout.
die.
The bodyguards were inexplicably panicked. There were only a few people with such palm power in the world. If this person sneaked into Fuzhou City, he could cause endless waves at any time and cause chaos.
In the eyes of many escorts, Mr. Lin was much calmer. His eyes wandered around the dead bodies and he was lost in thought, but his heart felt like a turbulent sea.
"You guys take the body to the government office, and remember to walk slower on the way."
The world of Fuzhou City is not too complicated. Lin Zhennan basically knows who has such strength.
For example, the Holy Child of Hongyang from the White Lotus Sect who often appears in Fuzhou is famous for his inner strength in palm skills. Although he looks like a child, his killing power is frightening. If he were to take action, he could do this easily.
However, what Lin Zhennan was worried about was not the danger of the enemy.
After all, no matter how ferocious the opponent is, Fuwei Escort Bureau still has the backing of Jingnan Prince's Palace. Hongyang Holy Boy took the initiative to offend the Geng family, which is tantamount to self-destruction and will only invite indiscriminate encirclement and suppression.
What he was most worried about was that Jiang Wen would kill someone.
Based on his knowledge of Jiang Wen, he must have been to Jipi Lane. Lin Zhennan would not be surprised if Jiang Wen did anything to satisfy his curiosity.
And Lin Zhennan, who had traveled together in the martial arts world in the early years, also knew very well that Jiang Wen was good at an extremely powerful palm technique, and he could break open monuments and crack rocks as if it were nothing, and he would never survive every time he took action.
Once Jiang Wen is involved actively or unintentionally, even if it only leaves some traces that should not be there, then Jiang Wen will have to face an extremely dangerous situation...
Fortunately, just as he was hesitating, a figure in Jipi Alley flew through the air and suddenly ran towards the alley in the distance.
"Hurry up and chase!"
After only a moment of hesitation, Lin Zhennan ordered the escort to pursue him. Looking from a high place, the torches in the surrounding alleys were swaying and gathering together, winding westward like a fire dragon, chasing a dark and unclean black spot.
The sound is overwhelming.
Lin Zhennan stared into the distance with eyes like lightning, trying to tell whether this figure was Jiang Wen.
If so, then he must catch up with him to protect him first; if not, he must capture the other party to eliminate Jiang Wen's suspicion.
Hoping to buy time for the team of corpse transporters, Lin Zhennan and his men kept chasing, and finally approached a strange dimly lit alley, but the leading figure suddenly disappeared.
"Chief escort!"
"Chief escort!"
Following the shouts of respect, dozens of well-dressed men gathered in the alleys, blazing torches illuminated the surrounding areas, and the firelight also reflected their nervous eyebrows.
Lin Zhennan came forward with a sword in his hand. He was very angry as he walked, and said to the head escort Shi who entered first, "Have you noticed anything strange?"
The smell of alcohol from the night before had completely dissipated. He lowered his voice and said, "A black shadow suddenly shot up at the entrance of the alley and flew in. It looked like a ghost when it passed through the wall. I heard a fight coming from inside.
I didn't dare to let the brothers go in because of the noise, for fear that there would be an ambush from the demon inside..."
Lin Zhennan nodded slowly and asked the bodyguards who were equipped with various weapons to prepare themselves. He also stared at the towering walls on both sides of Netherworld Alley, staring at the moss marks that symbolized uneasiness.
"Be prepared to climb over the wall with your claws and sneak in from the corner of the courtyard. Don't disturb the people inside."
Lin Zhennan became increasingly uneasy, but his face was still majestic and calm as he commanded the escorts.
Ropes were thrown up the wall one after another, and several bodyguards with strong bodies and extraordinary strength climbed up with sharp knives in their mouths, quietly trying to occupy the dangerous terrain so as to attack from inside and outside.
The corners of the courtyard are determined, the center is blooming, and it is condescending, where you can relax and wait for work.
This is the strategy Lin Zhennan has prepared.
But just as the second group of people stood close to the courtyard wall, guarding a small door that was difficult to detect, the door suddenly opened, and a stream of turbid air rolled out, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
.
"Why is it you, Brother Lin?"
A voice sounded very surprised.
"Jiang Wen?!"
Lin Zhennan was also surprised.
"...Good evening everyone."
Jiang Wen's figure slowly appeared. Seeing the crowd at the door, he looked particularly embarrassed, "Brother Lin, why did you ask so many people to protect me? Otherwise, I would treat everyone to a late-night snack after work?"
Lin Zhennan almost pulled off a lock of his beard.
"Zilu, why are you in there! That person just now was really you?!"
Jiang Wen said confused: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? It's obvious that you are the ones surrounding this group. Why are you asking me in turn?"
Jiang Wen shrugged, "When I heard the movements outside in the courtyard, I guessed that they were planning to outflank the two wings and break through in the center, so I might as well come out first to avoid accidental damage. Since we are all our own, let's evacuate quickly. The thieves inside
I have already beaten you away, and now you will definitely not be able to catch up..."
Lin Zhennan frowned and said, "Did you go to Jipi Lane just now and then come here?"
Jiang Wen nodded: "Yes."
Lin Zhennan continued: "Did you see anyone rushing into the yard just now?"
Jiang Wen nodded: "There is a ridiculously ugly ghost-faced man here. His movements are very strange. Are you chasing him?"
"Shi and Zheng, the two bodyguards, will guard the door and don't let anyone in! Zilu, let's take a step to talk..."
Lin Zhennan ordered the bodyguards, and then walked into the door with Jiang Wen, and instantly saw the terrifying scene of corpses standing like a forest in the courtyard.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This!!"
"It's okay, they are all people who have been dead for a long time."
Jiang Wen said, "Looking at you, what happened?"
Lin Zhennan replied in a deep voice: "One member of the Geng family died."
Jiang Wen also shook his head with a bad expression: "It's very foggy here, and I always feel that something is going to happen. Just now, in order to protect a person in the house, I fought with the Ghost-faced Man for several rounds, but the other person suddenly jumped over the wall and ran away.
"
"When I entered the house, I found the person I wanted to protect..."
Jiang Wen led Lin Zhennan into the Hall of Enjoyment and saw bamboo branches scattered on the ground. The two opened a narrow corner cabinet and found someone huddled up with their knees and shoulders hunched over, their face scratched to pieces by their own fingers.
He used bone-shrinking skills to embed it firmly between square inches, and he died with his eyes open for a long time.
"This look... seems to be scary to death..."
Lin Zhennan watched for a moment and made a judgment, "He wanted to avoid being chased and hid in the cupboard, but something scared him to death inside."
Jiang Wen nodded: "I think so too. I only found a bead from his throat and didn't see any fatal injuries. When I was fighting the Ghost-faced Man, he could still speak to us.
Maybe he died in just a quarter of an hour..."
"Huh? What did he tell you?" Lin Zhennan asked.
Jiang Wen thought about it for a while: "They are all nonsense. Anyway, it's not just 'allow me to live'..."
Lin Zhennan was about to speak when suddenly there was another rumbling sound outside the alley. It seemed that another large group of people had surrounded Netherworld Alley, including the Fuwei Escort Agency.
The two of them moved out of the hospital and stood together with the restless escorts. They looked in the direction of the alley in the half-darkness, guessing who was coming.
As the footsteps gradually became clearer, Geng Jingzhong's figure appeared first. He was galloping on his horse and said to Lin Zhennan breathlessly: "Mr. Lin, what happened here!"
Lin Zhennan nervously raised his hands and said: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, there was a murder case in Jipi Lane. I led people to chase it here!"
Then he pointed his hand at Jiang Wen, "The guest of the house just entered first and fought with the murderer for several rounds. Unfortunately, he escaped - another deceased person was found inside, and the cause of death is unknown."
The escorts immediately lowered their weapons and bowed their hands in salute. They secretly admired Lin Zhennan's quick wit and instantly interpreted the suspicious situation of tense swords as a confident attack.
"Any clues?"
"Prince Qi, I suspect that this matter was done by the Holy Child of Hongyang of the White Lotus Sect."
After Lin Zhennan finished speaking, Geng Jingzhong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, turned his head and said loudly behind him.
"Please see, Sir Imperial Envoy, our Jingnan Palace has already controlled the situation, so you don't need to worry anymore!"
These words were full of gunpowder, but heavier footsteps sounded at the entrance of the alley, and a figure like an iron tower suddenly appeared, so that the light of the torches in the Netherworld Alley was blocked and dimmed.
"Your Majesty is still too gullible, this matter is not that simple!"
The answers were tit for tat, but Jiang Wen saw that the person walking in was a muscular monk with short stubble hair and wearing monk's robes. He had thick eyebrows, a ferocious appearance, and his eyes were full of concentration.
He is violent and shows no mercy from the monks.
This imperial envoy is actually a monk?
The monk was much superior to Geng Jingzhong and did not pay any attention to Geng Jingzhong's intention of expelling guests.
"The deceased's external injuries are clear, but no one has seen the murderer. I think the murderer is probably the person who was first discovered, but he just deliberately shouted "catch the thief" in order to get away with it!"
His eyes were fixed on the men and horses of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and he stayed in front of Lin Zhennan for a few seconds. "Especially when we entered the city, we happened to encounter the corpse transport team under the banner of the Escort Agency. Those people were sneaky and called themselves
