After taking down several Devil Cult dens in a row, but only caught a few small miscellaneous fish on the periphery, Li Mu has already realized that something is wrong. But where the problem is, I can't find a clue for a while.
Originally, he wanted to stop, but seeing the hard work of the Pingyang martial arts family, he swallowed the words again.
Zhou Wenyuan: "Hero Li, news came from the yamen just now that Mingshan Village in the north of the city was slaughtered. It was determined that the death time did not exceed two days. It is very likely that people in the Demon Cult did it."
Coming to this world, Li Mu has seen a lot of people being wiped out. There is nothing wrong with killing in the rivers and lakes, cutting grass and roots.
However, this was the first time he met "Tu Village" in the martial arts.
"The rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes do not involve ordinary people."
This is an agreement made by various martial arts factions and the imperial court. Although it is not an iron rule, most people in the martial arts abide by it.
Even if it is for silence, it is only for the insider. This kind of massacre of villages rarely happens in Jianghu.
It can only be said that the Devil's Cult is worthy of being a Demon's Cult. With such a ruthless style, it should be despised by others.
"What's the government's reaction? This kind of thing is not just a vendetta. The six doors can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, can they?"
?As the yamen that specializes in the management of crimes committed by people in the martial arts, now that there are people in the martial arts who have slaughtered the village, it is their turn to play.
Zhou Wenyuan shook his head: "According to the information we obtained from the inside of the Yamen, the news that Mingshan Village was massacred has been suppressed by the government. If there is no accident, the case will end either with a sudden plague or a vendetta.
Similar things happened not once or twice in Pingyang. What those officials and lords are best at is making peace with each other, and what they pursue is that more things are worse than less things.
The six doors only played a role in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and now they are almost a decoration. Unless the victim is a local gentry, the life and death of ordinary Shengdou people, they will not take it to heart at all. "
It is not surprising that people in the rivers and lakes despise the government. But from Zhou Wenyuan's tone, Li Mu still heard unusual resentment.
He is not interested in delving into the story behind it. Although he doesn't like what the Pingyang government has done, Li Mu can understand it.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, if one wants to climb up, "covering the cover" is a must-have stunt.
If the window paper is pierced, the murderer is caught and the case is solved. A major village massacre occurred in the jurisdiction, and the assessment of the Ministry of Officials was over.
The "Six Doors" had a good time in the past. At its peak, all major schools would send disciples to join them to cooperate with the court to rule the martial arts world.
Unfortunately, that was the past. Because the top executives of the Six Doors took the wrong team in a political struggle, not only did they end up decapitated, but the Six Doors were also purged.
When the emperor realized that he had played too much, the six doors had been disabled. The lucky one who escaped by chance was also chilled by the court and lived a perfunctory life.
The current six doors, not to mention the supervision of martial arts, even second- and third-rate martial arts families may not buy it.
Abandoning the fantasies in his mind, Li Mu said helplessly: "Go over and have a look, maybe you can find some clues."
The Yigao people were bold and informed the elders in the sect. Li Mu arrived at the scene with a few Huashan disciples and a group of Pingyang Wulin.
Looking at the dead and silent mountain village in front of him, Li Mu sighed deeply. In this cruel world, no amount of compassion can afford to be consumed.
"Li Daxia, no survivors have been found. The dead are all ordinary people, and the number of corpses is more than 20 more than the number of household registrations provided by the Yamen.
I don't know if it was a hidden Ruo population, or visiting relatives and friends who unfortunately died. When encountering this kind of thing, ordinary people can't avoid it. I'm afraid even if they have family members, they dare not come to identify the corpse.
Judging from the wounds, they were all fatal in one blow. The deceased did not even have time to resist before dying. The murderer must be a member of the martial arts.
The attack is so vicious that even infants are not spared, and only members of the Demon Cult can do it. "
After hearing this expected answer, Li Mu frowned:
"Damn demon cult thieves, I will settle this account with them later. Arrange someone to restrain themselves, and don't let them abandon their corpses in the wilderness after death."
There is only so much he can do. If it weren't for the period of the war between good and evil, the murderer could still be tracked down and a heroic act of justice could be staged. Now, take care of yourself first!
While speaking, a tree on the back mountain suddenly swayed against the wind, which immediately caught Li Mu's attention, and he shouted:
"Variedwho? "
The crowd, who had already become frightened, quickly took out their weapons and outflanked the back mountain.
Encountered this scene as soon as he came out of the mountain, Master Lingfeng was too secretly distressed. That's all in normal times, but now she is going to rescue soldiers, so she has no time to delay here.
It's just that it's too late to leave now. If I run away immediately, I'm afraid I will be chased and killed by this unknown force.
At this point, the only thing left to do is gamble. I hope that these people have nothing to do with the Demon Cult, otherwise the Hengshan faction will be miserable this time.
"Hengshan Pai Lingfeng, dare to ask why the heroes blocked the poor nun's way?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, although the person who came was a little embarrassed, the blood-stained monk's robe and the iconic bald head all showed that this was a nun.
Turning his head over, it seems that there really is a "Master Ling Feng" in the "Ling" generation of the Hengshan School, Li Mu immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that he is the uncle of the Hengshan School, Huashan Li Bumu is so polite. "
Hearing that it was his own people, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the ferocious Demon Cult, no one dared to take it lightly.
Regardless of the small talk, Mrs. Lingfeng immediately asked, "Nephew Li, is it Senior Brother Zhou who is in charge of the Huashan faction's response this time?"
Thanks to the last Huashan Conference, Li Mu also had a certain amount of popularity within the Five Sacred Sword Sect.
The first time elite disciples come out to practice, they are usually brought by the master himself. Recognizing Li Mu, Master Lingfeng mistakenly thought that Zhou Qingyun was hosting this meeting.
Li Mu smiled slightly, and said: "My teacher just happened to have a comprehension, and he has been retreating for many days. This time the leader is Uncle Wang."
Heart is under the kyte. With so many people present, who knows if there are spies from the Demon Cult, Li Mu will not expose Feng Qingyang.
Misunderstanding, Master Lingfeng didn't care about the embarrassment, and urged directly: "Take me to see Senior Brother Wang!"
Don't think about it, Li Mu also knows that the Hengshan faction is in trouble, and it's not an ordinary trouble.
"Uncle, but you were attacked by a demon sect on the road?"
Master Lingfeng nodded again and again, with an anxious look on his face.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu immediately ordered Lou Bubei behind him: "Senior Brother Lou, please take a walk and invite all senior uncles to come here.?
