Chapter 134 Massacre

For a moment, the man in black was knocked unconscious.

Fortunately, he was a black tortoise, with thick skin and strong flesh, so he did not suffer serious injuries.

Faintly, the man in black saw two red spots flashing by at the other end of the alley, like a pair of glowing eyes.

But he was not sure what it was, or maybe he was just dizzy and had an illusion.

Then he touched the thing in his arms.

The touch was amazing, it turned out to be a person!

The thing that knocked him away was actually a person!

But the man's body was badly damaged, his chest was almost broken in two, and his body was covered in blood and sticky.

The man in black was shocked and confused, but he made up his mind, picked up the man, jumped up, climbed over the wall, and returned to the moonlight.

After taking a closer look, the man in black took a breath of cold air.

That person was none other than Luo Kezhao, the person he wanted to assassinate!

But at this time Luo Kezhao was already in death, his chest was almost broken, his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were rotten.

"What's going on?"

The confused man in black was completely stunned.

The injury was too brutal, obviously not caused by him.

“Here!”

Suddenly, a foot soldier shouted.

The man in black looked up and saw a foot soldier not far away looking at him.

There were also messy footsteps coming from the distance.

The man in black turned around and ran without thinking. His figure flashed into the darkness and soon disappeared.

Wow! More and more people flocked in.

A group of infantrymen came running with lanterns and surrounded Luo Kezhao in three layers inside and outside.

They shuddered at the sight of Luo Kezhao's tragic death.

"The commander is dead!"

"The Second Young Master was killed!"

There was a sound of gasps in the world.

"Get out of the way, what happened?"

Ding Zhigang ran over quickly and broke into the crowd of onlookers.

The next moment, he also saw Luo Kezhao's body, and he froze in place, dumbfounded! After a while, Wen Yudong came running.

Soon, Luo Yunjin came running.

Later, Fang Zhixing also arrived.

After a short wait, Luo Peiyun and Luo Zhaodong came together.

The crowd naturally dispersed and made way.

Luo Peiyun looked up and saw Wen Yudong holding a corpse, crying loudly with tears streaming down his face.

"Katsuaki!"

Luo Peiyun's expression changed drastically. He squatted on the ground, looking at his son's broken body. His face was full of disbelief and his mind went blank for a moment.

Luo Zhaodong was also stunned and shouted angrily: "Who did it? Who is the murderer?"

A soldier stepped out of the crowd and replied, "A masked man in black. I saw with my own eyes that man killed the Second Young Master."

Luo Zhaodong asked: "What kind of black-clothed masked man is this? How tall and strong is he? What kind of martial arts is he performing?"

“Ah, this!”

The infantryman blinked and recalled, "That guy is almost a head taller than me and very strong, and the others are..."

He said in panic: "It was too dark at night, and the distance was too far, so I couldn't see it clearly."

At this time, Luo Peiyun slowly stood up with a cold expression on his face.

He asked, "Was there no one with him when the incident happened?"

An infantryman replied: "We followed the commander into the mansion, and then he ordered us to search the place, so we scattered."

Luo Peiyun looked around and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, evacuate."

"yes!"

Everyone left quickly.

After clearing the area, Luo Peiyun looked around and soon noticed the room with the broken windows.

Luo Peiyun walked in and saw broken beams, a collapsed table, and a sack.

"Looking at the traces, the fight seems to have started here." Luo Zhaodong observed around and pondered.

Luo Peiyun leaned over and entered the room, picked up the sack, and looked thoughtful.

Then he went outside again and carefully examined the marks on the ground.

Traces of fighting and blood dripping! Not long after, Luo Peiyun found the long knife left in the bushes.

This is Luo Kezhao's knife. It slipped out of his hand and fell here when he was knocked away by the man in black.

Luo Peiyun held the knife and said gloomily, "Ke Zhao pulled out the knife, which means he had a fierce fight with the murderer and was defeated and killed."

Luo Zhaodong was shocked and said: "The murderer's strength is very likely to have reached the second bird realm!"

Luo Peiyun agreed and nodded, "The murderer's speed is definitely not slower than Ke Zhao's, otherwise, Ke Zhao would not have been able to escape."

Then he turned around and returned to Luo Kezhao's body, carefully examining the wounds on it.

"He had been hit multiple times in the chest with his fists."

Luo Peiyun analyzed calmly.

Luo Zhaodong asked: "Giant Bear system?"

Luo Peiyun said in a deep voice: "That's possible, but it could also be the Black Turtle system!"

Luo Zhaodong thought about it and agreed.

Although the Black Turtle warriors focus on defense, their attack power is actually second only to the Giant Bear warriors. Not only are their bodies as hard as iron, their damage output is also higher than that of the Spirit Ape and Shadow Leopard warriors.

"Katsuaki is a Shadow Leopard type. If the murderer has enhanced his agility, defense or strength, he can be defeated easily."

Luo Peiyun concluded.

"But who could be the murderer?"

Luo Zhaodong spread his hands and said, "In Qingguang County, there are only two experts in the second bird realm, Shi Xiangyang and Chang Yishen. Shi Xiangyang is imprisoned, and Chang Yishen is already dead. Could there be another mysterious expert lurking in the city?"

When Luo Peiyun heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and interrogate Shi Xiangyang."

At this moment! Outside the mansion, Fang Zhixing, Ding Zhigang, and Lu Peipei met and talked a lot.

Ding Zhigang was worried and whispered, "If the murderer was able to kill the Second Young Master in a short time, he must be able to kill us."

Lu Peipei said softly: "I didn't expect that there are so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Qingguang County, and there is also a big traitor hiding."

Fang Zhixing nodded and sighed: "Alas, we were careless."

As he spoke, Luo Peiyun walked out quickly, jumped on his horse, and galloped away.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing and others immediately followed.

After a while, the group returned to the county government office.

Luo Peiyun went straight to the deepest part of the prison.

In the cell, Shi Xiangyang and Shi Zaixing were together. Their hands and feet were shackled and they were lying down and sleeping.

Suddenly, Luo Peiyun opened the cell door, rushed in, grabbed Shi Zaixing's neck and lifted him up.

He used Luo Kezhao's long knife to press against Shi Zaixing's neck.

Shi Xiangyang woke up, his face turned pale and he asked in astonishment: "What are you doing?"

Luo Peiyun said coldly: "My son was just stabbed to death. Who is the murderer?"

Shi Xiangyang looked dazed and spread his hands, "How should I know?"

Snap! Luo Peiyun moved the blade, and a blood mark immediately appeared on Shi Zaixing's neck.

"I'll give you one last chance." Luo Peiyun's face was full of murderous intent.

Shi Xiangyang said anxiously: "I have been staying in the cell, I really don't know who killed him?"

"You don't know, do you?"

Luo Peiyun observed Shi Xiangyang coldly. After a while, he calmly retracted the knife.

He gave the order: "Take the father and son outside."

Ding Zhigang immediately entered the cell and pulled off the shackles.

A short while later, Shi Xiangyang and his son Shi Zaixing were taken to the yard and forced to kneel on the ground.

Luo Peiyun stood under the eaves and waved his hand.

Immediately, ten rebels were brought up and all knelt on the ground.

Every rebel has a knife-wielding infantryman beside him.

"kill!"

Luo Peiyun gave an order coldly.

The next moment, under Shi Xiangyang's gaze, ten infantrymen swung their swords at the same time.

Puff, puff, blood splattered all over the ground and heads rolled everywhere.

All ten traitors were beheaded.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Shi Xiangyang was shocked and screamed, "Luo Peiyun, why did you kill the surrendered soldiers? Are you going to betray me?"

Luo Peiyun said nothing. He waved his hand and ten more rebels were brought up.

"kill!"

At the command, another ten heads moved.

When Shi Xiangyang saw this, he immediately understood.

As long as he doesn't confess, Luo Peiyun will continue to kill him.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The third batch of rebels who were brought up were terrified when they saw the heads all over the ground and begged for mercy.

Luo Peiyun said loudly: "As long as you tell me who killed my son, I will spare your life."

The rebels looked at each other, and no one knew.

"kill!"

Luo Peiyun gave the order without hesitation.

Shi Xiangyang's expression was extremely painful. He gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Luo Peiyun, you dog officer, it's unlucky to kill the surrendered. You will get your retribution sooner or later!"

Luo Peiyun ignored them and continued to kill the rebels wave after wave.

Gradually, dawn arrived and the night grew darker and thicker.

The corpses in the yard piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a stream.

Shi Xiangyang's expression was numb and his face looked ashen.

Luo Peiyun observed his expression and said indifferently: "Shi Xiangyang, you still don't confess?"

Shi Xiangyang said dejectedly: "I don't know anything, what do you want me to say?"

Luo Peiyun grinned and said, "Well, you have guts! It seems that not only do you know who the murderer is, but you also intend to protect that person at any cost."

Shi Xiangyang lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Whatever you say is true. If I had known you were such a dishonest person, I would have fought you to death."

Luo Peiyun was about to speak when suddenly a soldier rushed forward, knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, something happened!"

Luo Peiyun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

The infantryman replied, "A patrol of a hundred men failed to return from their patrol last night. We just found them, but they have all been killed and their bodies thrown into a dead end."

Luo Peiyun paused for a moment and glanced quickly at Shi Xiangyang.

At this moment, there seemed to be a glimmer of light flashing in Shi Xiangyang's eyes.

"Brother Yun, I'll go take a look."

Luo Zhaodong stepped out with a serious expression.

"Okay, be careful."

Luo Peiyun nodded.

Luo Zhaodong, Luo Yunjin and others left on horseback.

After a while, another infantryman suddenly ran over in panic and said in a hurry: "Report to the lord, someone has set the granary on fire, and the fire has spread everywhere, burning our military rations."

"What?!"

Luo Peiyun's face changed drastically. He quickly walked into the yard and looked behind the eaves.

As expected!

There was fire erupting from the direction of the granary, illuminating the entire dawn.

Luo Peiyun's breathing suddenly stopped.

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang looked at each other, and the two led their men and quickly ran towards the granary.

When they ran to that place and took a look, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

The fire is raging!

The wind was very strong at the moment, and the raging fire seemed to be mad, spreading in all directions, running wildly, and devouring all combustible materials wantonly.

There was no time to rescue the military rations.

Ding Zhigang was so dumbfounded that he stamped his feet and said anxiously, "What the hell, which bastard did this?"

Fang Zhixing's mouth twitched slightly and his eyes flickered.

Xigou smacked his lips and said, "Of course, this is a guerrilla tactic. I didn't expect this group of rebels to be so capable."

Fang Zhixing said with a click of his tongue: "There must be an elite team lurking in the city. There aren't many of them, but they are all elite."

Xigou laughed and said, "Do you think Luo Peiyun will capsize in the gutter here and suffer a Waterloo?"

Fang Zhixing curled his lips and said, "The reason why the strong are strong is that they always win. This group of rebels has some skills, but not much, and they have successfully angered Luo Peiyun. The consequences are very serious."

The little dog blinked, and suddenly a bad premonition came to his heart.

A moment later…

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang returned to the courtyard and came to Luo Peiyun, carefully reporting: "Sir, I am incompetent and failed to put out the fire in time. The granary has been burned down."

Luo Peiyun's face was expressionless as he calmly ordered, "Call everyone back."

"yes!"

Ding Zhigang quickly set off three fireworks into the sky.

When the people who were scattered outside saw the fireworks exploding in the air, they quickly turned back.

Luo Zhaodong and others came back one after another. When they learned that the granary was burned, they felt terrible.

"Brother Yun, this is troublesome!"

Luo Zhaodong was extremely anxious. Without military rations, the army's morale would be in chaos.

Luo Peiyun remained calm and said, "Why panic? There is plenty of food in the city, just grab it."

He looked at the crowd and gave the order: "Announce to the whole city that at noon, Shi Xiangyang and Shi Zaixing, father and son, will be publicly executed at the gate of the yamen."

Ding Zhigang went to do it immediately.

Luo Zhaodong hesitated and said, "Brother Yun, this may not force the rebels to show up. It seems that they are desperate."

Luo Peiyun didn't care and said indifferently: "No matter whether that group of rebels comes out or not, we must regain the initiative and can't be led by them all the time."

Luo Zhaodong suddenly realized that, yes, from last night till now, they had been fooled by that group of traitors.

After the killing order spread throughout the city , the city suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

There were no more attacks or anything like that.

Soon, it was noon.

Shi Xiangyang and his son were taken to the gate of the yamen and knelt on the ground to bask in the sun.

The street outside the yamen was deserted, with no one around.

No one came to watch! Luo Peiyun said calmly: "Shi Xiangyang, do you have any last words?"

Shi Xiangyang raised his head, glanced coldly at Luo Peiyun and others, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"You bastards, you didn't expect things to turn out like this!"

"Luo Peiyun, you have been smart all your life, but you never expected that your son would die in such a pathetic way."

"Yes, it was all my fault!"

"Come on, eighteen years later, I, Shi Xiangyang, will be a hero again!"

Shi Xiangyang shouted towards the street in the distance, "Brothers, kill them. Kill one and you'll break even. Kill two and you'll make a profit. Hahaha!"
