Chapter 300 You are so brave
"There are quite a few people asking about the reward."
Weng Kang thought that Zhou Heng was blaming himself, because he thought that he had already sent a letter to the sect for help, and the fact that he was still offering a reward was a sign of distrust towards the sect. He quickly said: "Uncle Master, I will withdraw the reward right now." If it falls, please don’t blame me.”
"Don't think too much, I just want to ask you some information." Zhou Heng saw Weng Kang's thoughts, walked to the inner hall, sat down and asked: "Are there more men or women who come to ask about the reward?"
Weng Kang also followed and replied at the same time: "There should be more men. After all, they are all warriors traveling in the world, so naturally..."
As he was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped. He seemed to have realized something, and his eyes widened suddenly, "Uncle Master, you mean that it was my reward that attracted a large number of male warriors, and it further complied with the wishes of the evil demon. ?”
"It is indeed possible." Zhou Heng nodded gently and said: "From what you said earlier, it was only after the reward was announced that the number of murdered men increased, right?"
"It seems, it seems that is indeed the case." Weng Kang's face suddenly became even grayer, and he became a little more haggard. He said bitterly: "It was me who harmed these hard-working warriors."
Jianghu warriors are actually warriors who have no sect and no sect. They reach the ninth level after thirty years of age. Most of them were born in martial arts schools and are not qualified to join the sect. They can only travel around the martial arts to find further opportunities.
These people are actually the real main body of the martial arts world.
Weng Kang was once such a martial artist, but by chance, he was spotted by Chunyang Palace and accepted as an outer disciple.
So now he feels guilty.
"Shopkeeper Weng doesn't have to feel guilty. If you want to blame it, you should blame the evil demon." Zhou Heng said solemnly: "However, this also gave me a clue. Most of the victims were actually from outside Anhe Mansion."
Having said this, he paused and said: "Shopkeeper Weng, have you ever thought about why before the warriors from outside came, the number of people killed was so slow and few, but after the warriors from outside came, they suddenly sped up? "
"This, this...could it be that evil demons have no scruples about people outside Anhe City?" Weng Kang was a little unbelievable and asked doubtfully: "But why is this?"
"There is one more thing." Zhou Heng said: "Last night, the incarnation of a secret sixth-grade master from Honghua Palace came to me."
"What?!" Weng Kang stood up immediately after hearing this and said worriedly: "Uncle, are you okay? What happened to that man in the end?"
"It's okay, that incarnation was killed by my sword." Zhou gently waved his hand, stood up, and looked outside, "Actually, I have always had a problem. An incident of this level has obviously involved the evil ways of the third grade. Master, has Lord Anhe taken action?"
In Daqi, except for a small number of palace lords who are civil servants with low martial arts skills, the lords of palaces and cities are usually held by secret sixth-grade warriors in order to deal with situations where high-level warriors cause rebellion.
Nowadays, people in Anhe Mansion are in panic, and even seventh-level warriors have been killed. Since it may be the work of evil masters of the sixth-level secret, the palace master should have taken action.
However, through some conversations with Weng Kang, Zhou Heng discovered that the Fucheng Yamen actually only arranged for Yamen and arrests to investigate.
The master of the palace never showed up from beginning to end.
This is obviously not normal.
Moreover, he never told anyone about his arrival in Anhe Fucheng. Apart from Weng Kang, only the soldiers guarding the city knew about it, but the evil witch came to his door so quickly.
This had to make Zhou Heng suspicious of Fucheng Yamen.
Of course, he also carefully examined Weng Kang, but for the time being he didn't find any flaws.
"Master Palace Master..." Weng Kang fell into thought after hearing this, and after a while he said: "Master Palace Master has been away from home since last year and rarely shows up.
"During the Chinese New Year, I went to visit as usual, but I was turned away. I didn't even see him. Uncle Master, are you doubting the master of the palace?"
"At least the palace master is suspicious." Zhou Heng nodded slightly, and at the same time he narrowed his eyes slightly when looking outside, and said: "Someone is here, it seems to be a servant of the Fucheng Yamen."
"Ah?" Weng Kang said in surprise: "What are they doing here?"
"You should be here to invite me over." Zhou Heng said with a smile.
"Uncle, what will happen to you?" Weng Kang was worried.
"Don't worry." Zhou Heng shook his head gently.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a headhunter walked into the Yuhua Bao Shop with three servants.
The leader looked at Zhou Heng, slightly cupped his hands, and said: "I am the chief arrester of Anhe Mansion, Qu Tai. This must be Zhou Heng, the Purple Lightning Sword Immortal, Mr. Zhou. Can you come with us to the Fucheng Yamen?" "
"Who means that?" Zhou Heng said lightly.
"It was invited by our Palace Master." Qu Tai's attitude was very respectful.
"Okay." Zhou Heng nodded gently.
…
Yuhua Baopu is still some distance away from Fucheng Yamen.
Along the way, Zhou Heng and Qu Tai chatted word by word, and soon they got to talking about Palace Master Nie Yu.
However, Qu Tai, the chief arrester of Anhe Mansion, was very measured. No matter how Zhou Heng tried to trick him, he didn't ask anything of value.
All I know is that Palace Master Nie Yu has three concubines besides his wife, but he doesn’t have a son, only a daughter, and is regarded as the apple of his eye.
It seems that it can also be regarded as a valuable clue.
…
Fucheng Yamen, backyard.
The palace lord's mansion in Daqi Fucheng is usually connected to the Yamen, either next door or built directly in the backyard.
This is a rather elegant garden, with mountains and waters, and a natural flavor.
Nie Yu is a middle-aged man who looks only in his forties, with a white jade face and handsome appearance. He wears a scholar's outfit, a scholar's hat, a thin beard, and a folding fan in his hand, which makes him look like a handsome young man in a corrupt world.
Even though he is a little older, he still has great lethality to many women.
No wonder he has three concubines.
When Nie Yu saw Zhou Heng coming, he quickly put away his folding fan and greeted him, with a face full of joy: "Mr. Zhou, I have heard of your great name for a long time. When I heard about you a few months ago, you were still a hero on the list, but I didn't expect that you are no longer on the list now."
"It's just a little bit of bad luck, not worth mentioning." Zhou Heng smiled and waved his hand, then got straight to the point: "Lord Nie invited me here, I wonder why?"
"Of course... Because Anhe Mansion has been a little uneasy recently, Mr. Zhou, you also know that." The joy on Nie Yu's face was restrained, and he smiled bitterly: "I mean, can you not care about this matter first?"
"What is it?" Zhou Heng asked knowingly.
"Alas, do you really want me to explain it clearly?" Nie Yu sighed softly and said: "Mr. Zhou, I hope you don't care about the recent affairs of Anhe Mansion City, don't care about the affairs of the Weng Kang family."
"Nie Yu..." Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You are so bold."
