C234 Investigate the Truth

Murong Ke didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes told him everything. Xiao Baobao didn't say anything either, causing the scene to become somewhat awkward. The most suspicious person right now was naturally Xiao Baobao, because only Xiao Baobao had seen that person before. However, Xiao Baobao was seriously injured.

Could it be that Xiao Baobao would really be willing to cripple himself to protect that person? Murong Ke shook his head in his heart. At this time, the disciples beside him also said, "The baby won't. The baby is the most loyal person among us. "

Murong Ke smiled faintly and said. "Of course I know that. But this spy is still here after all. But I can't catch him. What should I do?" He looked at Xiao Baobao as he asked.

Xiao Baobao slowly lowered his head. "Master, leave this matter to me. " Murong Ke smiled and nodded. "This is the best. Since your injuries are almost healed, you are the only participant in this matter. Naturally, I will leave it to you. Furthermore. . . This matter is also a good exercise for you. Don't let down my expectations!"

Xiao Baobao bowed and said, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely give Master an explanation for this matter. " A group of children were whispering to each other. Although they were all pleading for Xiao Baobao, in their hearts, they all hoped that Xiao Baobao was the traitor.

Because Xiao Baobao was too outstanding. As long as Xiao Baobao became the traitor, then they would have a chance to rise in power. Currently, this disciple was divided into two big sects. First was the rich family faction led by Nalan Gaang. They were born with an outstanding background, which was why they were better than others in all aspects.

The other faction was the poor disciples who had gathered together. Their family wasn't very poor, but they all hoped to have some achievements in this place. They tried their best to rule, but their foundation was indeed a little poor, so they had never been valued. They had always been suppressed by those rich disciples, and the representative figure among them was Zhang Faang.

Zhang Faang was a very poor kid, but he was very big. Although he was only twelve years old, he was almost as tall as an adult, so everyone liked to call him Giant Zhang.

Giant Zhang's family was not well off, and his parents spent almost all of their savings to send Zhang Faang to the dojo to practice martial arts. Over the past few years, his knife skills had become somewhat proficient, so he was lucky enough to stand out and become Murong Ke's disciple.

As soon as he entered the Mu Rong School, he could feel the huge gap between the two of them. Many people could spend their days drinking and drinking, and they could even change their clothes into fine wine. However, some people could only live at the bottom of society for the rest of their lives. They could eat the worst rice grains and drink mud mixed with mud.

This was life. In this hot soil, to change one's life, it was very simple and simple. One only needed to have good martial arts. Good martial arts was enough for a person to gain a foothold in Gusu. Even if he could not be rich and powerful, he could at least be promoted to the upper class.

However, this huge step was too big. Zhang Faang's family was poor. His parents were eating rancid food every day, but they hoped that their son could make a name for himself. They had devoted all their energy and financial resources to raising their son. This was undoubtedly their biggest bet. If they could win the bet, their family would be able to reach a tie. Their son, Zhang Faang, would also have a bright future.

But if they lost the bet, it would be a complete mess. Their son, Zhang Faang, would have an uncertain future. Therefore, Zhang Faang had always worked very hard. He did not want to disappoint his parents. He wanted to be a perfect son.

His performance in the martial arts club had always been the best. Even if several martial arts clubs sparred with him, he would definitely become one of the best. Every year, he would be able to get first place in the tournament.

However, it was this kind of person. After he came to City Lord's Mansion and became Murong Ke's subordinate, he seemed to be useless. In this place, he was just too ordinary. Every rich kid had good punches and kicks. He finally knew what it meant to have a mountain outside the mountain.

Since then, he had put his life on the line and finally left those rich kids far behind. But even so, there was one person that he would never be able to surpass, and that was Xiao Baobao.

Xiao Baobao had become a huge mountain that Zhang Faang couldn't overcome no matter how hard he tried. Xiao Baobao's efforts were not any less than Zhang Faang's. Furthermore, Xiao Baobao's martial arts foundation was very good, and his martial arts path was different from theirs. Therefore, learning Murong Ke's martial arts was very convenient.

Zhang Faang had lost himself because of this. He wanted very much to show off in front of Murong Ke, but almost all the limelight had been stolen by Xiao Baobao. Xiao Baobao had become Murong Ke's most capable disciple, and also Zhang Faang's most jealous disciple.

Those rich kids were nothing to Zhang Faang. Even if Nalan Gaang's martial arts skills were on par with his, Nalan Gaang, a rich kid, would sooner or later be left far behind in terms of martial arts skills. The reason Nalan Gaang's martial arts skills were good was that he had many martial arts masters teach him martial arts before he came, so his martial arts foundation was very good.

But Zhang Ke was different. His masters might not even be able to beat him now. They were just ordinary third-rate swordsmen. Therefore, it would not be easy for Zhang Faang if the two of them could fight to a draw.

However, even if the two of them joined forces, they still wouldn't be able to defeat Xiao Baobao. No one knew what the problem was. Xiao Baobao would always be much stronger than them. This time, Zhang Faang finally found an opportunity. He started to investigate the fact that Xiao Baobao was a traitor like a madman.

As Xiao Baobao walked on the road, many people started to look at him strangely. It was like looking at a criminal who was about to step onto the court. Xiao Baobao did not care about the looks of these people. He knew that only the strong would be looked at by so many people in this world. This also proved that he was a real strong person here.

Faang Gaang found all the guards on duty that night, and wanted to investigate the entire situation. But there was only one result he got, and he did not know anything.

They really didn't know anything, because Xiao Nanfeng came from the kitchen. There had never been any guards there. Only a few kitchen maids were guarding there.

The most unfortunate thing was that these kitchen maids were all gone now. In other words, the final clue had been cut off. However, he still had some luck, because he discovered that one of the kitchen ladies had died that night.

In other words, this outsider must be the one who killed her. If that was the case, he might be able to find a clue as to how this kitchen lady had been killed.

Zhang Faang made a very dangerous decision and dug out the corpse. If he wanted to start with this place, he had to find the corpse. The corpse had already been buried. After the rain washed over the past few days, the burial mound had become extremely muddy.

Zhang Faang crawled into the chaotic burial mound like a beggar. Under the instructions of the grave digger, he finally found the place where that woman was buried. Of course, this place was originally a mass grave, and there were corpses everywhere. It was common to point to the wrong place.

In any case, no one would come to pay their respects during normal days, so the grave digger simply pointed at it and told Zhang Faang to look for it himself. Zhang Faang knew what he meant. He then took out a few taels of silver from his pocket. This was his monthly income. After taking a few taels of silver from Zhang Faang, The grave digger became enthusiastic. Not only did he tell Zhang Faang where he was, but he also told him where he was. And describing the characteristics of the surroundings in detail.

Zhang Faang brought a shovel and began to dig the grave. A foul smell came out from the grave. After Zhang Faang smelled it, he almost vomited it out. The corpse was rotten, but it was still possible to tell that it was a female corpse.

Zhang Faang carefully examined it. After vomiting three or four times, he finally found that there was a tiny pinhole on the female corpse's head. There was a silver needle inserted into the needle.

The silver needle was only as thin as a strand of hair, but it was as long as the middle finger. If not for the fact that the corpse was rotting, one would not have been able to tell that the silver needle was inside the body. In addition, Zhang Faang carefully examined the female corpse, but didn't find any other fatal injuries.

He finally came to a conclusion that this woman must have been killed by this silver needle. Then who in the world uses silver needles as a weapon to kill people?

Although Zhang Faang had been practicing martial arts since he was young, he did not know much about the martial arts world. He bandaged the silver needle and put it in his pocket. He wanted to go back and study it.

After he packed up the place, he quickly left the place. He wanted to go to the library and find out who this person was. However, all the people in the martial arts world were recorded in the Book Repository, so the method of using silver needles to kill people would definitely be recorded in the book as well.

Therefore, Zhang Faang decided to look for this person. He had searched the book collection house for a long time, but he was still unable to find this person's existence. It was as if this person had never appeared in the martial arts world, but this person had indeed used this silver needle to kill this person.

Zhang Faang fell into deep thought. At this time, there was a loud noise outside the door. It was Nalan Gaang who had brought a group of underlings and surrounded Xiao Baobao. They had always bullied the weak like this, but Xiao Baobao had told Nalan Gaang time and time again that he was definitely not weak. Although he was small, he was stronger than anyone here!

Nalan Gaang knew that this was the truth, so he never had any intention of offending Xiao Baobao. But now, it was different. Murong Ke began to suspect Xiao Baobao. In other words, Xiao Baobao could be expelled from the sect at any time. At that time, Xiao Baobao would no longer be Murong Ke's trusted subordinate. At that time, he would very likely become their enemy.

Therefore, the current Nalan Gaang seemed to have gathered up his courage and led a lot of people to surround Xiao Baobao once again. Although Xiao Baobao's martial arts was powerful, they had a lot of people. Moreover, their martial arts foundations were not weak. If they really fought, Xiao Baobao would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Xiao Baobao asked coldly, "What do you want to do? If there's nothing else, I have to go do it. " Nalan Gaang grabbed Xiao Baobao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Baobao, don't do it. We are about to leave this place. What are you busy with?"

Xiao Baobao was expressionless. He said lightly, "What do you mean?" Nalan Gaang pointed at the place where Murong Ke suspected him and smiled. "Xiao Baobao, could it be that you did not hear it? Master has already regarded you as a traitor! If I were you, I would have fled long ago when no one was paying attention to me. "

Xiao Baobao remained expressionless and showed an unusual calmness. " I am not a traitor. I am investigating this matter. Master did not suspect me. He was just not satisfied with my martial arts. Of course, if you are not satisfied, you can try it on me. "

As soon as Xiao Baobao finished speaking, Nalan Gaang's subordinates started to show their fangs and claws. Many of them started to clamor. "Come on! Who's afraid of who?! If you have the ability, fight all of us!"

Nalan Gaang sneered. "Xiao Baobao, I know that you have great martial arts skills. This is not a coincidence. You are more hardworking than us, so your martial arts skills are naturally better than ours. There is nothing to be proud of. There are so many of us here. Do you think you will be able to gain some glory by fighting you alone? "

Xiao Baobao shook his head. "I will be the first to beat you to death. I don't want to fight the others, and I have no reason to fight them either. " Nalan Gaang's face changed when he heard this. He asked with a pale face, "Why did you hit me first?"

Xiao Baobao said coldly. "Because you are their boss. I only fight with their boss. If you can't beat me, then you are not qualified to be their boss. It is unknown whether they will help you or not. "

Nalan Gaang took a deep breath. He realized that not only was Xiao Baobao powerful in martial arts, but he also had a unique way of thinking. It was much more profound than what he had thought. He could not help but admire Xiao Baobao from the bottom of his heart.

Nalan Gaang trembled and said, "You, you think I am easy to bully? Don't think that just because Master taught you a few more moves, you are amazing. Let me tell you, I haven't tried out the martial arts passed down in my family. Wait for me to use it, and you'll have to suffer! "

Xiao Baobao said coldly. "I am waiting. " Nalan Gaang's face turned green. He had never thought that he would be in such a difficult situation. Many people were looking at Nalan Gaang, wanting to see the martial art passed down in Nalan family.

The Nalan family had been doing business for generations. There was no martial arts passed down in the family. It was Xiao Baobao's first teacher, Xiao Nanfeng, who had the authentic martial arts passed down in the family. Nalan Gaang's face could not hold it any longer. He had to show both of his hands to everyone.

At this moment, Zhang Faang suddenly jumped out of the library and roared. "Nalan Gaang, don't go too far!" These words were very grating to the ears. But it was said by a child.

Nalan Gaang's underlings all looked at Zhang Faang. Some of them started to laugh at Zhang Faang. "Stop arguing. I think you should think about your clothes if you wash them. Do you have any more clothes to change into? "

Nalan Gaang also smiled, but he did not laugh at Zhang Faang for being poor. He laughed at Zhang Faang for being shameless. "What is it? You want to compete with me?"

Zhang Faang jumped over and looked at Xiao Baobao, then smiled and said: "Sure, the last time I fought with you, it was a draw. It has made me unhappy for a long time!"

In the dark, Zhang Faang said to Xiao Baobao, "Baby, I will fight them with you. " There was some warmth in Xiao Baobao's cold eyes. All this time, he was not accepted by everyone, so he did not have many friends. Now he finally met someone who could fight side by side with him, and that was his friend.
