Zhuqueshan Cave.

Luo Fengtang did not walk out of the cave immediately.

He stayed in the first hall and took out the bamboo sticks from the bamboo stick bucket on the table one by one. When he took out the ninth stick, the seat below slowly rose up and finally returned to its 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.

It's impossible to go down now, and it won't be possible until we find another Mohist master.

It's actually not that difficult to find masters of the Mohist family. All you need to do is give Luo Xingchen a letter and let him search for it.

Luo Fengtang took off his upper body clothes 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 neatly, Zi Yan walked in from outside.

"Has everything been taken care of?"

Luo Fengtang raised his head and said.

Now there are no traces of his injuries.

"Well, it has been arranged. We will wait until the news comes back. Generally speaking, except for the killer, all other problems 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 of the Jiangnan Tang Sect."

Zi Yan recognized the origin of the crossbow arrow at a glance.

"The Jiangnan Tang Sect 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. Qi-breaking arrows are kept secret in the Tang Sect, and ordinary people in the world can't get them. This kind of crossbow arrows made of Tang Sect's unique metal can break even the martial arts masters.

Defend."

Zi Yan was also surprised.

"Put 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 can't reach it now, and it would be unreliable to just rely on a letter or ask the local government to ask.

The Tang Sect had a very high status in the martial arts world in the south of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court generally did not have much restraint on it. As long as the Tang Sect did not openly rebel, the imperial court would 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 by his side. 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 all under the control of the deputy governor and managed by himself.

The handover can only be done after Luo Xingchen has gone, but it will be difficult for Luo Xingchen to go directly to Jiangnan in a short period of time.

"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 arts master."

Luo Xingchen said solemnly.

"Martial arts masters generally respect their status and will not kill easily. Once a martial arts master kills someone regardless of risk, the damage will be huge."

"Now a master-level killer has appeared, and I am very worried."

Luo Fengtang directly spoke what was in his heart.

"Even if he is a killer, he will not kill people randomly. Don't worry, Brother Luo."

Zi Yan said slowly.

"I'm worried that what he created is murderous intent."

"If he is promoted to a Grandmaster Warrior based on his murderous intention, he will be in big trouble."

Luo Fengtang raised his eyebrows.

"It shouldn't be possible. I've rummaged through the classics in the palace's secret library. Grandmaster promotions are all kinds of strange. Each grandmaster's perception is different, but none of them have ever been promoted based on murderous intentions. So, I think, then

A famous killer must have a true identity on the surface. We have identified those masters, and he will always reveal his secret."

Purple smoke.

"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.

Therefore, he is not very clear about the conditions required for Grandmaster promotion.

Therefore, he still has a skeptical attitude and is not as firm as Zi Yan.

"Let's go, let's seal this place temporarily. When people come, we'll come back to investigate together."

Luo Fengtang stood up. He was not going to act rashly, but was going to plan everything in place.

…

Xiao family.

Above a lobby.

Nanmenkang 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 eyes.

"Brother, you really can't blame me. How did I know it would be leaked?"

Xiao Boshan looked sad.

From the beginning to the end, he really thought that he had done a good job of keeping the secret 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 minor 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, pave roads and temples.

They all still want a good reputation, so they do a lot of show-offs.

"idiot."

Nanmen Kang cursed, hating that iron could not become steel.

Not being able to detect any clues 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 as much as possible, and find places to hide outside."

Xiao Boshan is still defending himself.

Because, if it was proven that these crimes were his, then he might not even be able to save his own life.

"Don't you understand why you are so stupid?"

"The normal approach is that you should keep the same routine as before, do what you did before, do now, and don't do anything new and out of the ordinary, so as not to alert the eyes and ears of the hidden guards."

"And you? What you did fully demonstrates what it means to add something superfluous!

"Your outrageous behavior just caught the attention of the hidden guards. As long as the hidden guards follow and investigate you for a period of time, what can't be investigated?"

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 imperial guards is limited, and their energy is also limited. It is impossible for them to check all the families in Zhuque County one by one, and they will definitely only select those that are not right.
