Volume 10 Chapter 76
Soon, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "It was the Xiaoyao Sect. Read the full text! Zhang Dong colluded with the imperial court and devoted himself to eradicating dissidents. This must be the Xiaoyao Sect's doing!"
"That's right, the latest chapter! Only Xiaoyao Sect can do such a sinful thing!" There was a chorus of agreement from all around.
Tang Yin, standing in the crowd, frowned secretly. He turned back to look at Cheng Jin, with doubt in his eyes.
Cheng Jin shook his head hastily, indicating that this matter was definitely not the result of a secret attack, at least he had never given such an order.
At this time, someone else made a different voice: "This may not be done by the Xiaoyao Sect. No matter how arrogant the Xiaoyao Sect is, they would not dare to openly make enemies of the rangers in the world. I think Baihuitang and Shuramen are the most likely. Only Baihui Hall and Shuramen are as powerful as the Holy Hall."
"Yes, yes, yes! Baihuitang and Shuramen are also suspected. Maybe they are deliberately putting the blame on others."
"Anyone who intends to compete for the position of leader is suspected!"
"So you might be the murderer?"
"You don't need to talk about me, none of us can even think of severing our relationship..."
People's discussions gradually turned into mutual accusations. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one trusted anyone, and everyone felt that the other person might be the murderer behind the scenes.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Yin suddenly burst into laughter and secretly said something wise. Without saying anything, he turned around and exited the crowd, heading towards the inn.
Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and others hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice: "This is weird, won't your Majesty stay and see what happens?"
"That's not necessary." Tang Yin sneered and said: "The murderer acted in such a high-profile manner, but deliberately did not leave his name. What is the purpose? It is to make the rangers suspicious of each other, blame each other, and preferably fight and kill each other. . Although I don’t know the other party’s purpose yet, it is certain that the other party wants to disrupt this Ranger gathering.”
Jiang Fan and others took a breath and thought about Tang Yin's words carefully, feeling that they made sense. Cheng Jin was surprised and said: "So, it may not be Xiaoyao Sect, Shura Sect or Baihuitang. Is the murderer someone else?"
Tang Yin raised his head and chuckled, and said: "It's very simple. Who doesn't want to see the Fengren Ranger gang all unite together?"
"Go against the wind!"
"That's right!" Tang Yin nodded affirmatively and said, "The murderer who killed the branch leader of the temple was probably someone who went against the wind."
Jiang Fan nodded thoughtfully, while Cheng Jin was startled and said hurriedly: "If this is the case, then the king cannot leave, but should stay and explain the matter to the rangers!"
Tang Yin sneered and said coldly: "The rangers are aloof and arrogant. Since they cannot be used by the court, they may become enemies of the court. One of them will die. If they can really kill each other, it is not a bad thing." As he spoke, he turned to look at Cheng Jin and said: "I launched the Ranger Alliance not to rely on them to deal with the Niefeng Flow. As long as they can not be used by the Niefeng Flow, that's all."
Cheng Jin's face straightened, he lowered his head and said, "Yes! I understand."
Li Si's mysterious murder cast a shadow over this ranger gathering before it even took place. It also made many rangers panic and suspect each other. However, as a bystander, Tang Yin could tell at a glance that the matter was not simple. Someone is deliberately provoking conflicts among the rangers.
The matter did not end there. In the early morning of the next day, two more corpses were nailed to the east city gate of Laiyang. This time the dead people were the backbones of the Wuying Sect and the Qixing Gang. The corpses were still tied with the same clothes on their feet. On the cloth, sixteen characters were written in the blood of the deceased: The position of alliance leader is bound to be won. Those who have different opinions will hang their bodies here.
At this time, the rangers gathered in Laiyang were all in a panic. They all felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Even when they saw their former friends, they were always on guard now. The gangs who already had gaps with each other, At this time, he became jealous when he saw the other party. Although no large-scale fighting occurred, the situation in Laiyang City was tense and full of gunpowder. Fights between gangs could break out at any time. People's speculations about the murderer are even more varied, and some people even boldly speculate that it was the Holy Church who did it. Li Si's death was caused by the Holy Church itself, and its purpose was to divert people's attention.
In any case, the murderer is still hiding in the dark, no one has seen it with his own eyes, and people's speculations have no real basis.
At night, the rangers had no intention of sleeping and left their homes one after another to wander outside. People tried their luck to see if they could meet the murderer. There were no electric lights in that era. At night, everything in Laiyang City was silent and pitch black. However, under the calm surface, there was an undercurrent and murderous intent.
Tang Yin hoped that the rangers would kill each other, but he was also very curious about the murderer and wanted to confirm whether his guess was correct. Late at night, without saying hello to Jiang Fan and others, he got up alone, quietly slipped out of the room, and went outside the inn. .
He first looked around, then used his shadow to drift to the roof of the inn. The inn is a two-story building, and the roof is slightly higher than other buildings. After coming up, he looked around. Tang Yin has night eyes, which does not affect his vision at all even in the dark night.
The pair of flashing green eyes were like two small light bulbs in the dark night, astonishingly bright and strangely bright.
In the moonlit night, Tang Yin noticed that there were shadows flashing in the city from time to time. At first, he thought that the night walker might be the mastermind behind the scenes, but before he could catch up, he found another black shadow flashing in the distance. He calmed down and took a closer look. , Tang Yin suddenly discovered that there were quite a few night walkers in the city, their figures disappearing and appearing between the rooftops and streets.
It seems that there are many people searching for the murderer like me tonight! Tang Yin watched for a while and became uninterested. With so many rangers staying awake and wandering in groups outside, it was estimated that even if the murderer wanted to commit a crime, he would be frightened back. There was no need for him to wade through the muddy water. .
Thinking of this, Tang Yin jumped down to the house, returned to his room, took out a bottle of wine, and then returned to the roof, lying on the eaves, admiring the moon, drinking wine, and silently thinking about the Ranger gathering.
Zhang Dong's reputation is too bad, and many rangers have deep prejudices against him. It is already unlikely that he will become the leader of the alliance. If Zhang Dong cannot do it, who should be the most suitable leader?
It’s nerve-wracking! Tang Yin sighed in his heart, feeling that he had thought of the problem too simply. He took two big gulps of wine.
While he was pondering his thoughts, a black shadow flashed past him not too far away. It was nothing. What surprised Tang Yin was that the other party turned out to be a dark spiritual cultivator, using dark spiritual martial arts skills. ——Shadow Drift.
With a thought in his heart, he put down the wine bottle and stood up straight. Looking at the back of the night traveler, Tang Yin rolled his eyes, then used Shadow Drift and quickly chased after him.
He knew the distance very well and followed the night traveler, neither too far nor too close, allowing him to see the other person clearly without letting the other person notice him.
Now Tang Yin was simply free and had nothing to do. Since he happened to meet a dark spiritual cultivator, he followed him over to see what he was going to do.
The night traveler ran not far away and stopped on the roof of a house. Then he squatted down and looked around cautiously.
Tang Yin also stopped and leaned down, quietly observing the other party's actions.
The man looked for a while to make sure there was no one else around, then he slowly moved to the eaves and used shadow drift to sneak into the courtyard of the house.
This house can be called a mansion, with a large area, many houses and courtyards, and servants patrolling it from time to time.
Pedestrians that night seemed to be very familiar with the internal environment of the house. They were familiar with the roads, turned east and west, and stopped near a courtyard gate.
He observed carefully and saw two servants guarding the entrance of the house. He slowly moved his figure, approached the courtyard wall, and slipped into the courtyard silently with a shadow drift.
Entering the courtyard, he quickly crouched in the shadow under the wall and looked around the courtyard. He found no patrolling servants, and he was relieved a little.
The night traveler raises his legs high, sets his feet lightly, and approaches the main house without making any noise. When he got close to the window sill, he put spit on his fingers, poked a hole in the window, and looked inside.
After watching for a while, I don't know if he could clearly see the situation inside. The night traveler quickly pulled out the steel knife, inserted it into the gap of the window, quietly opened the window fork, and then opened the window, like a civet cat. Got in.
Agility can be regarded as a common feature of dark spiritual practitioners. Tang Yin, who had been observing his actions in the dark, nodded, with a smile on his face.
The other party got into the room, and Tang Yinze quietly came to the window, opened a gap, and squinted his eyes to look inside.
He saw the night traveler gradually approaching the bed, and there was a person lying on the bed. Because it was covered by a curtain, Tang Yin could not see clearly whether the person was a man or a woman, but through the furnishings of the room and the atmosphere emanating from the room, Fragrant, it feels like a woman's boudoir.
The night traveler who entered the room was extremely careful. He walked almost step by step to the bed. He used Chapter 76 of Episode 10 to
The steel knife slowly opened the curtain to see clearly the person lying on the bed, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised.
Ye Xingren took a deep breath, raised the steel knife in his hand high, pointed it at the person on the bed, and struck it down with the knife. He was smashing, not cutting, and hit the man on the bed at the base of his neck with the handle of the knife.
But just when the knife handle was about to hit her, the person on the bed suddenly let out a squeak and rolled sideways. The knife handle missed her neck and hit the pillow hard, making a muffled sound.
"ah?"
The night traveler didn't expect that the other party had already taken precautions and pretended to be asleep, so he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. At the moment when he was in panic, the woman who was originally lying on the bed jumped up, and a blue long sword appeared in her palm. At the same time, she said with a smile: "Bold thief, you unexpectedly broke in." If you enter my Shura Sect to assassinate you, you will be unable to fly today!”
not good! The night traveler screamed in his heart, and Tang Yin outside also felt that something was wrong. He turned around and wanted to leave, but it was already too late.
