Chapter 86 The show has begun(1/2)
There were dozens of burnt corpses neatly arranged on the ground.
Li Chunfeng stood in the crowd and looked at the burned soldiers, and was furious.
The fire started quickly and was extinguished quickly. Since Xingyangguan was the port for trade, no curfew was imposed. At this time, the streets were surrounded by people watching the fun. Li Chunfeng, who was mixed in the crowd, quickly learned about the incident.
The reason was that more than a dozen soldiers from this military room invited their chiefs to drink. As a result, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden fire. According to the officers and soldiers, it was probably because everyone had drunk too much, turned over the hot stove, causing a big fire. All the people were burned to death.
And the chief they hired was Lao Tao.
Looking at the corpses placed together in the distance, Li Chunfeng had the urge to come forward to see them, but the officers and soldiers who maintained order around him would never let him do this. So although he was very restless, he still held back and pulled Li Jingyan beside him, and the two returned to the inn.
"You seem to really treat that old Tao as a friend." After returning to the inn, Li was surprised to be surprised not to go back to his room, but came to Li Chunfeng's room and sat down.
Li Chunfeng whispered: "I'm not a friend yet. But he did lose his life because of me. He also implicated so many innocent people."
Li Jingyan sighed softly and said, "This is the world. I just hope you don't just feel depressed."
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said slowly: "No. You are too worried."
Li Jingyan looked at Li Chunfeng's still in a down-and-out look, shook her head gently and said, "It's useless to hold on. Don't blame yourself too much. Although they died because of you, it's not your fault. If you want to feel better, think about what you can do for them."
Li Chunfeng raised his head and said, "Yes, I should do something for them."
Li Jingyan said, "Don't let them die in vain." After that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
After hearing Li Jingyan's words, Li Chunfeng stood up and called Li Jingyan who was about to leave and said, "Senior sister, don't leave first. I have something to worry about."
Li Jingyan stopped and looked back at him with a look of relief.
The two changed into clothes and returned to the place where the fire broke out.
Li Chunfeng leaned on the roof of a shop opposite the military building. Without blinking, he looked at the corpse placed on the open space opposite that had been initially cleared.
"Are you really sure you will get something if you are here?" Li Jingyan whispered.
After several days of contact, Li Chunfeng knew that so much talk was not Li Jingyan's personality. But he also knew that she had nothing to say to her tonight, just to prevent herself from being too sluggish.
Thinking of this in his heart, Li Chunfeng felt aroused. But he looked up and saw the row of corpses, and his eyes turned cold and said softly: "I'm not sure, but I know if I don't come, I will definitely not get anything."
When Li Jingyan saw Li Chunfeng's eyes, she nodded slowly and stopped talking.
After a while, Li Jingyan, who had been closing her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes. When Li Chunfeng saw it, he moved his heart and whispered: "Come?"
Li Jingyan did not answer his words, but showed a look of listening. After a moment, she let out a light breath and said, "Here you come. But you're leaving again."
Li Chunfeng was shocked and said, "We were discovered?"
Li glanced at him in a stunning way and said, "It's not us, it's you."
Li Chunfeng said: "I? I have already restrained my breath as my senior brother said?"
Li Jingyan said softly: "At the beginning, you did perfectly restrain your anger, but later for some reason, your anger began to slowly overflow. I thought the person who came would not have a very powerful character, so I didn't care. Unexpectedly, it seems that this trip to Lanzhou will really meet a few characters."
Li Chunfeng thought about it and realized that Li Jingyan was talking about the excitement of her mood when observing the corpses, which led to her inability to concentrate perfectly. She said guiltily: "Oh, after all, my skills are not up to standard and have dragged you down."
Li Jingyan shook her head and said, "It's not all your fault. The person who comes is a master. But in this case, I'm afraid they won't come back. But in case, I'll go around and see what you want to see." After that, he rose up lightly and disappeared into the night behind him.
Li Chunfeng took a deep breath and knew that this senior sister was protecting the Dharma. As long as he did not light the house again, no one would have discovered him. So he stood up and slowly came to the surroundings of the row of corpses.
He wanted to tell which one was Lao Tao, but the degree of burning of the body made it difficult for people who were not very familiar with it to judge. After thinking about it, Li Chunfeng took a few steps back, bowed deeply to all the corpses, and said lightly: "Friends, I have no chance in this life. If I can meet again in the next life, Li Chunyang invites you all to drink."
After saying that, he lowered his body and took out the dagger he had prepared. He silently thought about offending him, and then cut open the throat of the first corpse.
"It's true." After looking at it, a cold light shot out from Li Chunfeng's eyes.
Then, he used the same trick to cut open the throats of several people. Finally, he stood up and turned his head, no expression of compassion or anger could be seen on his face.
After leaving the burned open space and just turning into the alley, Li Jingyan fell from the sky and landed beside him.
The two of them didn't talk much and just walked back to the inn.
"How is it?" Li Jingyan asked softly when she returned to Li Chunfeng's room.
"It's indeed not an accident." Li Chunfeng said in a deep voice: "The throat of the corpse was completely gone."
"What does this prove?" Li said stunningly.
"This is common sense." Li Chunfeng said slowly: "If a person is burned to death, there will be traces of charcoal ash in his mouth and nose. But they have no at all, which means that they were killed first and then burned to that shape."
Li Jingyan nodded and said, "You know a lot."
Li Chunfeng chuckled and said, "I have a friend who is a coroner. I always hear him tell some stories about this. After a long time, I will learn from it without a teacher. But it is the first time I see the real corpse."
Li Jingyan said: "Then can you tell how they died?"
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "I can't tell this. The body was burned too much. I can only see that there was no serious trauma. Nothing was left in the details. But this is the suspicious place because the burn was too thorough."
Li Jingyan nodded and said, "Indeed, I almost watched the fire with my own eyes. At first, it was just a little bit of fire, and in a blink of an eye it became a huge trend. We were not slow to go there, but by the time we arrived, the whole house had already burned down."
Li Chunfeng pondered and said, "This proves that the fire was very strange. Unfortunately, it was late at night, and even a few witnesses were all drunk. The government would definitely be perfunctory on the surface. Alas, I hope my senior brother can put some pressure on the lower side so that these people will not die too unfairly.
Li Jingyan nodded without saying a word.
Li Chunfeng stood up and went to the window. At this time, the sky was covered with white fish belly. He looked at the light that was gradually widening and said, "I didn't expect that after just one day, I had such many twists and turns. It seems that this place really doesn't welcome me very much."
Li Jingyan said: "What are you going to do?"
Li Chunfeng did not look back, took his hands, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Back to blood, and to teeth."
Li Jingyan said: "You are very sure. I have heard of you. I heard that when I was on the mountain, a few people messed with your friends. After a few months, they disappeared."
Li Chunfeng was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "I didn't expect such a rumor. Although I really wanted to do that, I didn't have the strength at that time. What was the specific situation? When you have time, you can ask your senior brother. He knows the twists and turns that are the ones that are the ones that are clearest."
Li Jingyan shook his head lightly and said, "I don't want to know about those people. I just want to know your attitude towards this matter. But it seems that you have already figured it out very well. It's right, blood is for blood, tooth for tooth. This is what a man should say."
Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Sister Xie, I finally praised me in person."
Li Jingyan said: "You should stop talking. What should we do next?"
Li Chunfeng was speechless and pondered for a moment, saying, "It would be better to do the serious business first. It would be better that this group of people have nothing to do with the Shapi, so they can live a few more days. Once they really have an affair with the Shapi, Humph, I will make them regret coming to this world."
Li Jingyan didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Chunfeng's side face quietly. She suddenly realized that she couldn't understand this so-called junior brother.
This junior brother who laughed all day long seemed to have nothing to bother him. At this moment, a sense of hostility was brought in for no reason between his eyebrows. Although he was much more heroic, he seemed too cold. It felt like he had become a whole person.
Not only her, after Li Jingyan left, Li Chunfeng's heart was also turbulent. Li Jingyan was talking to him just now, and she felt better. Although there were waves of impulse in his heart from time to time, he could still suppress it. However, as soon as Li Jingyan left, his blood seemed to burn.
The feeling was very strange, as if infinite power was pouring out, filling his whole body. For a few moments, he was very eager for killing and blood.
Lying on the bed but being tortured by this strange impulse, Li Chunfeng couldn't sleep. After barely doing it, he thought to himself that he was going to be possessed by the devil. He quickly adjusted his breath and entered the realm of inner breath. He slowly guided his energy back to the original state. Slowly, the impulse was suppressed.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Jingyan saw the waiter withdrawing the tableware, turned around and asked Li Chunfeng softly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so haggard?"
At this moment, Li Chunfeng was thinking about how to successfully dress up as the mastermind behind Li Ruliu and how to find out the mastermind behind the killing of Lao Tao. He heard this and smiled at Li, "It's okay, maybe it's because he didn't sleep well yesterday."
Li Jingyan nodded and said, "I may not understand it very much. But I know you are definitely not feeling well."
Li Chunfeng continued to smile and said, "It's okay. I know how to control myself. Okay, let's go?"
"Set out?" Although Li Jingyan didn't speak, her talking eyes clearly expressed this meaning.
Li Chunfeng said: "It's time for them to meet their young master when they go to Hengchang."
Li Jingyan said happily: "Do you have a way?"
Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Not yet, but maybe I can have a way after entering the store."
A shocking smile appeared on the corner of Li Jingyan's mouth and said, "I'm going to keep it in my mind again, I won't eat this one."
The fleeting beauty did not escape Li Chunfeng who had been paying attention to her. He felt aroused in his heart, and Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "Sister Sister is interested in walking downstairs."
Li Jingyan stood up and said, "Without me, your play will not be able to sing. Let's go." As he said that, he walked out the door first.
Li Chunfeng followed her out and looked at the swaying back in front of him. He suddenly felt that the cold and charming senior sister seemed to be slowly melting. Perhaps because she had just experienced a blow in her heart, she couldn't bear to have a stern face to herself, or perhaps because this senior sister was a cold outside and warm inside. But no matter what, seeing Li Jingyan like this made Li Chunfeng overjoyed.
They still took the carriage from the inn. This time they came directly to the gate of Hengchang. After giving a few instructions, the coachman was waiting at the place last time. Li Chunfeng and Li Jingyan walked into Hengchang's shop again.
It was still the same as last time. Although there were many people entering this store, no one came up to greet him. The guests in groups of three or three were choosing their favorite colors. Occasionally, they greeted the guys and explained their requirements. The guys would naturally cut according to the customer's instructions.
Li Chunfeng looked around and had plans in his heart. He stood firmly for a moment, and seized the opportunity of a shortage of people. He stepped up and walked into the counter.
Such a move naturally surprised the guy in the house. But no one knew what was going on, and he did not dare to stop him rashly. He just watched them walk to the door leading to the back.
It would be too unreasonable to walk here and no one comes out to say anything.
"Please stay, please stay." Just as Li Chunfeng stroked the door with his hand, someone spoke behind him.
Li Chunfeng took a deep breath, calmed down, turned around and said, "Are you calling me?"
Behind the two were a young man with a delicate look. He was wearing a long gown different from ordinary people. He could tell at a glance that this was the person who could speak on the counter, probably the shopkeeper in front of him.
The man clasped his fists and smiled, "It's right. The guest officer, behind it is the inner hall of our store. According to the rules, guests are not allowed to enter."
Li Chunfeng looked at him and said, "I understand. I'm not a guest." After that, he turned around and reached out to push the door again.
"Hey? Guest, that's wrong." The man said anxiously.
Li Chunfeng turned his head again and said, "I said I am not a guest."
The man looked at Li Chunfeng and Li's eyes a few times, and smiled coldly and said, "I feel like this brother is here to make trouble. Come on, take it down for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures emerged from somewhere. A big man in the lead reached out and pulled Li Chunfeng's shoulder.
Li Chunfeng waited for his hand to rest on his shoulder before turning back suddenly, and a cold light shot out from his eyes, staring at the big man and shouting: "Let go!"
