26,26 The Slayer(1/2)

When Su Jiugu said "Uncle," everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

According to Su Jiugu's seniority, she actually calls Chen Tong uncle. Then what seniority is Chen Tong? He is higher than the Heavenly Master, the Earth Master, the Spiritual Master, isn't he the same as Master Tao Ming?

"Back then, the demon concubine Ya Yan was sentenced to death by Li Min, and General Cao Mo was responsible for escorting the coffin and body out of the imperial city for disposal."

Just when everyone was staring at Chen Tong in surprise, Gongsun said slowly, "Yuan Yan is proficient in witchcraft and has made friends with many evil sects. There may be troubles when disposing of the body. Li Min was suspicious all his life and acted cautiously.

, why would you give such a dangerous job to Cao Mo, a general with mediocre martial arts skills and no military exploits?"

Everyone thought along the words of Mr. Gongsun - indeed, why did Li Min quietly dispose of the body of a concubine? Why was such an important task handed over to a little person?

"Because Cao Mo has a brother, his name is Kuishan." Gongsun gave the answer.

"Kuishan..."

Yin Hou immediately thought of someone, "The One-Eyed Venerable?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have all heard of this name, and Su Jiugu is even more familiar with it. This person is their master, that is, Tao Mingzhen's master, Kuishan, known as the One-Eyed Master. Kuishan always wears a mask on his left eye.

Eyepatch, it is said that his right eye can connect to yang and his left eye can connect to yin. He is one of the most famous mage of Maoshan sect in history.

Gongsun looked at Shen Tianyu and his son who were in a state of confusion at the side, "It was Kuishan who helped Shen Yun solve his problems back then."

Shen Tianyu was also surprised, he turned out to be his benefactor of the Shen family?

"I met Kuishan once in the imperial city. He was accompanied by a child about the same age as Xiao Liangzi." Gongsun said, glanced at Chen Tong, and pointed to the corner of his left eye, "That child

There is a scar here."

Everyone subconsciously looked at Chen Tong. Indeed, the old man had a scar under the corner of his left eye.

Chen Tong helplessly stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly at the people in Kaifeng who were staring at him.

Pang Yu stretched out his hand and poked the old man's shoulder, "Ha! Old man, you are wrong! You are telling us that you are a dabbler?!"

While the others nodded, they were also thinking secretly - no wonder this person is so accurate. During the three-headed Jintuo case, he was also the one who reminded Zhao Zhen, "When nobles go out to attract wind and rain, be careful of beams." Only then could everyone be prepared to beware of assassins.

.How dare you have such a big background... Kaifeng Imperial City is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

"Old man, are you hiding from debts?" Lin Yehuo asked curiously, "Why are you hiding your name?"

Chen Tong sighed helplessly, looked at the medicine bowl in Su Jiugu's hand, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Maoshan police?"

Su Jiugu nodded, "The senior brother is missing, the second brother is seriously injured, and now I am the only one left, and two disciples disappeared during the martial arts test."

Chen Tong frowned slightly and asked, "Where is my senior brother Tao Ming?"

Su Jiugu hesitated for a moment, looked up at everyone in the courtyard, and seemed a little embarrassed.

"My senior brother, do you not remember things very well?" Chen Tong asked.

Su Jiugu sighed helplessly, "Master, I gradually forget many things, but I am quite happy every day. It seems that I am back to my youth again. Sometimes I will ask where you are."

Chen Tong smiled bitterly, "That's it..."

Su Jiugu lowered her head and said nothing.

At this time, Mei's silent coughing sound came from the room.

Chen Tong signaled Su Jiugu to go into the room to take care of Chen Tong, and he walked to the table and sat down.

Everyone else in Kaifeng Mansion came over to sit with him.

Chen Tong first looked at Gongsun, looked at him for a while, and asked, "After so many years, the prime minister still remembers me?"

Gongsun smiled and nodded, "The Grand Master will ask you to exorcise demons, so of course he has his own reasons."

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Master Pang who was holding a bowl of pig's feet soup.

The Grand Master smacked his lips, "It was Eunuch Liu who introduced me to me."

Everyone looked back at Chen Tong - you have quite a wide circle of friends.

Chen Tong waved his hand helplessly, "There is some chance."

"So where is Yayan's body?" Yin Hou asked Chen Tong curiously.

Chen Tong was silent for a while while holding the tea cup, and then said, "Burn it."

Tianzun wondered, "If it's going to be burned, why send it so far away? Isn't it the same in the Imperial City?"

Chen Tong didn't answer, just shook his head.

"Then the sarcophagus near the Tianyuxuan Salt Lake..." Shen Tianyu asked.

Chen Tong looked at Shen Tianyu and Shen Mao, suddenly frowned and said "tsk".

Father Shen and his son looked at each other and both felt their hearts trembling - what do you mean?

Seeing a group of people looking at him eagerly, Chen Tong was helpless, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "This matter is a long story."

The Grand Master and Mr. Bao both nodded and pointed to the ladies setting the table beside them - let's chat while eating.

The cooking skills of the wives of the Taishi Mansion are indeed impressive. Everyone in Kaifeng gathered around a large table, just like a banquet, full of dishes. Mr. Bao originally wanted to criticize the Taishi's "extravagant and wasteful", but everyone They were all waiting for Chen Tong to "tell a story", and he was too embarrassed to interrupt.

"It's not that I have anything ulterior motives, and I'm not being hunted down... I'm hiding just because I don't want to help people exorcise demons anymore."

After Chen Tong finished speaking, everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows - Then you are obviously here to help the Grand Master exorcise demons!

Chen Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just the fortune teller Chen Sangua who fooled the grand master.

The grand master wrinkled his nose and looked at Mr. Bao - Heizi! Is he deceiving me of my money by looking like this?

Master Bao turned his face and pretended not to see him, waiting for Chen Tong to continue.

Chen Tong pointed to the scar under his eye and said, "The person who left this scar is not someone else, but my own mother."

Everyone couldn't help but frown - this girl is so careless, what a risk, what if she gets blinded?

"When I was a baby, I loved to cry. It is said that I cried day and night." Chen Tong was very helpless. "My family was said to be very rich at that time. The housekeeper in the house had ill intentions and lied to my mother that I could see ghosts in my left eye. , is an ominous son who will bring disaster."

Lin Yehuo curled his lips, "Does your mother really believe it?"

Chen Tong sighed, "My mother was about to gouge out my left eye, but an old woman who was serving my mother during her confinement snatched it away. I am not blind, but I still have this scar."

When Chen Tong said this, everyone was shocked - what kind of girl is she? She is really capable of killing her.

Gongsun quietly looked at Zhao Pu beside him. Sure enough, the Ninth Prince's face was not very good either. Chen Tong's childhood experience was very similar to that of Zhao Pu. Both of them were killed by their relatives because of a word from a person with malicious intentions.

"My house has been haunted since that day. All kinds of things happened, and my mother became more and more suspicious."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Is it the housekeeper who is causing trouble?"

Chen Tong nodded, "My father didn't believe it at first, saying that my mother-in-law had little knowledge, but gradually he believed it because he was frightened... and asked the housekeeper to deal with me."

Mr. Bao narrowed his eyes when he heard this. What does that mean - are your parents still alive? If they are alive, I will punish them!

"The housekeeper threw me in a mass grave, but the old woman saved me." Chen Tong continued, "I was just a baby at the time and didn't know anything. I always thought that the person who raised me was my own mother. When I was a child, I

There's nothing wrong with it, my mother loves me... When I was a little older, I went into the city with my mother and passed by the Chen Mansion, and I suddenly stopped."

"Did it pass by your original home?" Gongsun asked.

Chen Tong nodded.

"I was standing at the gate and suddenly had a feeling," Chen Tong said. "I didn't know why, so I took my mother's hand and told her that everyone in this family would not survive tonight."

"What happened next?"

Bai Yutang was curious about the future development.

"That night, Chen's mansion caught fire, and the house and people were burned down."

"No one escaped? How is it possible in such a big house?" Zhan Zhao felt suspicious. Generally speaking, the bigger the house, the more people can escape in the event of a fire. If no one escaped, there is only one reason.



Sure enough, Chen Tong went on to say, "Afterwards, the government investigated and found that everyone was poisoned to death before the Chen Mansion caught fire."

"Did the housekeeper do it?" Zhao Pu asked.

"All the property of the Chen Mansion was completely transferred away, so the government felt that it must have been theft by the guards." Chen Tongtong said, "A police officer came to find my mother because my mother left the Chen Mansion a few years ago. My mother took me

I told the police what happened when I was a child, and the police also felt that the person who had done the killing should be the housekeeper. But the housekeeper could not do so many things on his own, so he must have an accomplice... But the fire burned all night, and most of the bodies were burned.

I don’t know who ran away.”

Everyone nodded, and while they were concerned about whether the housekeeper had been caught, they also wondered - what does it have to do with this case?

"Just when the policeman finished asking questions and was about to leave, I suddenly told him...the murderers didn't even run away, they were still in Chen's house." Chen Tong said, pointing to the ground, "Why did you wait so long?

Why did you just start? How could so much property be transferred overnight? The town is not big, and everyone in the street knows each other, so why has no one seen the housekeeper and the others? "

"Tunnel?" Taishi asked, "The housekeeper dug a deep tunnel under the mansion and hid it?"

Chen Tong nodded, "The police really took the government officials to dig up the land of Chen's house, and they caught the housekeeper and four of his accomplices. The case was very sensational, and the housekeeper and the others were all executed... and my matter was also investigated.

It’s spread.”

Chen Tong was helpless, "The neighbors in the city regard me as a fairy boy and say that I predict the future. Even my mother thinks that I may have some magical powers."

Everyone looked at Chen Tong with complicated expressions - you are indeed amazing!

"Actually, the housekeeper may be hiding underneath. This is what I inferred based on what the police officer said." Chen Tong pointed to his head, "It only shows that I am quite clever."
