C80

Deep in the night, the entire Tan Yang was completely silent. Suddenly, a sharp scream came out from the southern part of the city.

"Murder!"

"Men! The manor has been stolen! The lord has been assassinated!"

"Clang clang clang!"

The sound of the gong was heard, causing the entire Tan Yang City to be alarmed. Waves of wails and cries came out of the Lu Family's residence, making everyone who heard it feel cold in the middle of the night.

"Heavens, how could this be? Those bandits have already run into the city!"

"Quickly check the doors and windows, they are all securely locked. Move that cabinet over here to support the door!"

In that moment, the entire Tan Yang City was in a mess. In the middle of the night, not only was there more than one place where she had crawled up in the dark to check the doors and windows, but also a cabinet that was waiting for something heavy to push against the door.

Ling Zhang and Yuwen Tong stood on the roof of a tall pavilion in the rear courtyard of the Lu Family, and practically half of the entire Tan Yang City could be seen.

Seeing that it frightened everyone, Ling Zhang felt slightly embarrassed, but it only lasted for an instant.

Clangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclsoon clangclangclangclangclangclsoon clangclangclsoon clangclangclsome clangcl@@

"He's coming." Ling Zhang stared at a dot of light that was constantly moving in the distance. It was the Yamen's torch.

The children of Lu Family were woken up as well. Each and every one of them cried until the sky was shaking.

Ling Zhang looked down at the chaotic scene in the Lu Family from above, his gaze slowly growing distant, maybe the chaos in the Lu Family in his previous life was even worse than tonight, the bandits who broke in like evil spirits, no matter male, female, old or young, were all dead.

"We're here."

Yuwen Tong's voice rang beside his ears. Ling Zhang quickly regained his senses, and looked around. The Prefecture Yamen had already arrived.

"What's going on!" The leading Yamen asked.

"Master Fu, the master's study was stolen tonight. Our master was coincidentally resting in the study and was killed by that thief!" Lu Family's butler rushed out and said while crying.

"What?" "Quick, bring us there to take a look." The Yamen were shaken as they walked towards the depths of the Lu Mansion in big strides.

Lu Kui's study room was a mess, blood was everywhere, and Lu Kui was lying on the floor of the study room. He had been cut several times, and the fatal wound was a stomach piercing wound.

Yamen looked at Lu Kui's breathing, frowned, then stood up to survey the situation in the study room.

"Xiao San, Xiao Si, go and report to Lord Tao and ask him to immediately search for him. Also, send someone to request for Lord Ling."

"Yes sir!"

Lady Lu was crying so hard that she was about to faint. She fell by the door, crying her heart out, and at the same time, seeing that Yamen had confirmed Lu Kui's' death ', she secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and cried even louder.

"A thief who killed a thousand times, why did you kill my husband? Darling, you must have had a hard time!"

Yamen frowned and looked at Lady Lu, "Madam, please grieve, please rest outside. We will definitely find the culprit to avenge Master Lu."

Lady Lu cried as she was supported out by a servant.

Yamen looked around carefully for a long time before asking the servant who cleaned the study. After he roughly knew that he had lost all those precious items, he had an idea.

"Everything that was lost were all precious gold and jade carvings. It seems like they were stolen for money, and they killed Master Lu who was resting inside and met him."

"It seems that the bandits did not escape Lu Family. Brothers, it's been a long time that we've searched them."

"Yes sir!"

"Master Lu, please instruct the people at home not to wander around to avoid encountering that criminal."

Lu Kui's father, Lu Fengnian nodded his head painfully, "Thank you for your reminder, little brother."

With Lu Fengnian here, the people of Lu Family quickly gathered together. The servants also surrounded together and trembled, not daring to walk around carelessly.

Not long after, both Tao Feng and Tao Feng arrived with another five or six Yamen s.

All the way until dawn, the Yamen s searched the entire Lu Mansion, only to find bloodstained footprints on the walls of the backyard, but they didn't find anything else. He followed the footprints and searched outside, but there was no sign of him.

After such a terrible thing had happened, Tao Feng's face was extremely ugly. He ordered the city gates to be opened for four hours, and the entire city to be apprehended.

The people of Tan Yang City were panicking and talking about the Lu Family everywhere.

Jia family had naturally heard the news as well. Jia Zhong was stunned at first, but in the end, he laughed out loud: "Good, if one dies, then one less person will be in front of this esteemed one! The heavens are truly on my side! "

When he had laughed enough, he said with a face full of pity: "What a pity, why didn't Ling Zhaowen be the one to die!"

"Master, once Lu Kui dies, it means that you have the chance to fight for his right hand in marriage. Even if Ling Zhaowen doesn't die now, when you become an official, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?"

"Hmph, it was really lucky for Ling Zhaowen, he still has to live for a while longer."

Four hours later, when he still could not find the whereabouts of the murder thief, Tao Feng had no choice but to open the city gate.

However, the search within the city did not stop because of this. The Lu Family was guarded by ten officials, to prevent more thieves from attacking.

When Zhang Chong received the news, he came along with Tao Feng's request.

"Lu Kui was actually killed, how did this happen?" janitor was shocked beyond belief.

Zhang Chong's face was ashen, "If you don't die early, then you won't die late. But you just had to die at this time, detestable!"

"Which mountain did he come from to be so disobedient?"

"No matter which mountain it is, send someone to deliver the letter now and tell them to find the person for me. I will skin him alive!"

Zhang Chong angrily smashed the table hard, causing the entire table to split into pieces.

janitor's eyelids jumped, as he walked a little further away without leaving a trace, "Yes, this subordinate will go right now."

"Men, order a hundred men to follow me into the city."

After Zhang Chong became angry, his face darkened, he got up and walked out, with a hundred people gathered, he quickly left the base, straight for Tan Yang City.

Lu Family had already erected a spirit hall, and Lu Kui's corpse was placed inside the coffin.

When Zhang Chong arrived, Ling Zhang was currently following him to the Lu Family to offer his condolences as a Eldest Young Master.

"Commander Zhang, you have to avenge our Master!" Lu Family's butler cried.

Lady Lu was bowing her head and crying in front of the hall. Hearing that, her eyes flashed, and turned to kneel down towards Zhang Chong, "Commander Zhang, please uphold justice for my husband!"

Ling Zhang and Ling Zhaowen looked at each other, and then retreated to the side without leaving a trace.

Zhang Chong had already changed his pained expression, "Lady Lu, don't worry, this commander will definitely catch the murderer and seek justice for Master Lu!"

He looked sincere, but the flesh on his face destroyed this feeling of 'deep sorrow', making him look somewhat sinister.

"Commander Zhang, with your words, this old one is relieved." Lu Fengnian also walked out.

"Master Lu, you have my condolences. Leave the matter of capturing the culprit to me." Zhang Chong said to Lu Fengnian.

"Sigh, the Tan Yang City has always been safe and sound with the protection of the State Guard. Who would have thought that a thief would come here to steal and even kill the Master Lu."

"That's right, there's no room for State Guard to show her face."

The guests who had come to offer their condolences muttered in private. Zhang Chong's expression became colder and colder.

"Could you let me take a look at Master Lu's corpse?"

"Please, Commander Zhang, the coroner from this morning has come to examine my son's body. He said that the thief cut my son four times, and when he saw that my son did not die, he cut him again …" Lu Fengnian could not continue, his face was filled with pain.

Zhang Chong comforted him, walked to the coffin, and bent down to examine Lu Kui's body. After confirming that the wounds on Lu Kui's body were as Lu Fengnian had described, he stopped.

"Master Lu, you don't mind if I take a look at Master Lu's study, right?"

"Of course, this old one will bring Commander Zhang there."

Lu Fengnian brought Zhang Chong and left the mourning hall, and when Zhang Chong left, his gaze swept over Ling Zhang and Ling Zhaowen.

Ling Zhang calmly met his gaze, so Ling Zhaowen simply did not look at him.

Zhang Chong's gaze turned cold as he followed Lu Fengnian.

After going through the arrangements of Yuwen Tong's guards, Zhang Chong did not find any flaws in the study room. The blood stains on the ground had not been wiped away, and the smell of blood still lingered in his nose.

"What are they missing?"

Lu Fengnian opened his mouth and said four or five precious items.

"For the money?"

"That's right. Unfortunately, my son went to the study room late last night after reading the official documents, otherwise, he wouldn't have bumped into that thief."

"Who knows about the valuable items in the study room?"

"About this, putting these items here is not a secret, other than the people in the mansion, all the people who came to visit also knew about it."

It's too broad to check.

If the people in the house knew about him, it was impossible for them not to know that Lu Kui was resting in his study tonight.

Zhang Chong frowned as he left, but he did not manage to find any clues that would make him look extremely angry.

Everyone thought that he was angry because of the thieves, but Ling Zhang knew why. He lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.

Zhang Chong was from County Order and his death was a matter of great concern. Zhang Chong did not dare to carelessly settle the case and cause dissatisfaction, so he could only follow Tao Feng's intentions and temporarily send people from the State Guard over to the city to search for him together with the Yamen. They also began to carry out night patrols and curfews.

"Done." After Ling Zhang returned to the Ling Residence, he said to Yuwen Tong: "Zhang Chong has no choice but to do this. After dragging this on for a period of time, even if he wanted to take action, he won't have a chance."

"Oh right, how did you make Uncle Lu's body turn cold? Even Zhang Chong did not notice."

curiously asked Yuwen Tong. Today, when Zhang Chong reached his hand into the coffin, his heart was beating so fast that he stopped, afraid that Zhang Chong would discover some flaw. But in the end, Zhang Chong did not discover anything.

Yao Yi and the others understand. If you want to know, I can get them to teach you, but it's not something that you can learn in a short period of time.
