Chapter 308 Shocking change (1)
The wide open courtyard gate allows everyone who came to the yard to clearly see the bloody and messy scenes in the courtyard. Several corpses sank in the snow, and the dry and frozen blood stains dyed the white snow into a black and red.
Just looking at the outfits of these people, we can tell that they are servants in this courtyard who are responsible for serving the two sects, just like those who serve their daily life and food. But now, all these low-ranking servants have been killed, and the fastest one is still several feet away from the courtyard gate. It seems that they are extremely panicked.
However, many people who heard the news did not pay much attention to the death of such a small person. Instead, they rushed into the courtyard and rushed to the bedrooms behind which had also opened their doors. Then they saw even more shocking scenes-
Three of the four guards who followed Long Tiande into the castle died on their backs in the room. Their throats were cut open, blood splashed out and spilled everywhere; and the last one was nailed to the wall by a sharp sword. Half of the sword penetrated into the wall, making him die in great pain, his body was completely distorted, but only half of the weapons in his hand were sheathed and landed on the ground, just under his body.
As for Long Tiande in the middle of the room, he died the most miserable one, because he had a different body and headless body disappeared, and his headless body fell to the table. Because of this, the amount of bleeding in the room was the most, almost all the walls on the front, back, left and right were stained with blood.
Even though these Long family members were prepared, they were all considered people who had experienced many storms. At this moment, when they saw such a miserable scene, people kept exclaiming. Long Tianhao's face turned pale and his body was trembling.
Li Ling, who was observing the situation around him, saw this and thought he was angry at first, and then realized that his reaction was out of fear. Obviously, Long Tiande and the four accompanying people were far above the five of them in terms of force, so if this killing situation came to the three sects, they might only die faster!
This understanding made Li Ling take a deep breath. He was still too careless and was completely unpredictable to change like this.
"How could this be?" Finally someone shouted angrily. There was anger inside, but more of them were panic. Obviously, they all thought of this possibility.
It was not until this time that Long Sihai, whose legs and feet were the most unstraight, came late. He was supported by his son Long Tianyao and slowly entered the yard. When he saw this scene, the old man's face changed. The old man's eyes immediately shone with his dizzy eyes, and he quickly looked at the people on both sides and left and right, trying to capture something, but except for the panic and anger in the eyes of those people, he could not see anything.
If Long Tianxiang hadn't loudly said that Long Tiande and his party were killed and had an accident, Long Sihai would have forcibly continued to worship the ancestors. Because if other little people died, even a certain village head would not have the major issues in his clan in his eyes, but now there are several people in the two sects, especially Long Tiande, one of the competitors of the clan leader, was killed, but he could not ignore it.
This was the scene in front of him. Everyone hurried over and saw this bloody and terrifying scene. When facing the obvious questioning of everyone, Long Sihai remained calm, just looking at Long Tianxiang who was already sweating: "What's going on?"
"Bad...I...I don't know either..." Long Tianxiang was completely helpless at this time, and hot sweat kept coming out of his forehead and flowing down, soaking his front lapel with a stuttering in his mouth, "Just...just just now, when I saw that they hadn't come out, I went to knock on the door. As a result, the door opened as soon as I pushed it open, and then I saw someone dying inside. When I went in... I saw that they were all killed..."
"Clan leader, this is the territory of your master sect, and it is even within the Long Family Fortress, but someone was killed here. Please give us an explanation." Finally, a leader of the village who was attached to the Long Family shouted loudly.
The first person spoke, which attracted the others to follow up at the same time: "Yes, patriarch, this is your territory. Are you going to kill us?"
Perhaps Long Sihai has absolute prestige among these tribesmen and can do the same thing on weekdays, but he is far from reaching the power of life and death as the monarch of the Central Plains. At the time when his own safety is seriously threatened, the people below no longer care about the superiors and inferiors. The loud questioning and doubts sounded loudly, and most people even tightened the handle, as if they would take action as long as there was any abnormal movement.
Faced with such a surging crowd, Long Sihai's old face became more and more gloomy, but he still pressed his anger in his heart and shouted loudly: "You all are sobering. It is obvious that someone is blaming my master sect. It is the murderer who wants to divide our Long family! If I really want to kill people, there is no need to make such a big noise. Moreover, there were opportunities to kill you one by one a few days ago. Why wait until this critical moment?"
His words were quite reasonable, and indeed everyone's shouting stopped, but that was all. Everyone's guards and doubts were far from dissipating. Long Sihai also understood this, so he quickly looked at the people from the other four sects: "Long Tianbiao, you are fighting with Long Tiande in this section, and he is even more chasing you with the rich silver in his hand. Could it be that you sent someone to do it?"
The cunning Long Sihai suddenly thought of a countermeasure, how to pick his own family out, of course, is to set up another target for everyone. As of now, the four sects that have been competing with the two sects for support from all parties but cannot get rid of them can easily be named the murderer.
Long Tianbiao was obviously stunned, but then someone shouted loudly: "Class leader, you are so unfair to us. We did have many frictions with the two sects before, but that was all the things that happened a few days ago. Didn't you say that these methods were useless just two days ago? In this way, there is no such fierce conflict between the four sects and the two sects for the time being."
This really made Long Sihai stunned. Indeed, just the day before yesterday, he made it clear that the two sects and four sects took advantage of their own advantages and had to do it again. In this way, it would be impossible to add the charges to the four sects in the name of competition.
Long Tianbiao immediately responded: "Clan leader, wherever we settle in each sect and village is decided by your master sect, so if you really want to kill people, your talents will be more convenient."
This immediately caused a burst of echoes from others: "That is, patriarch, only you know the most about this matter. It must be done by your master."
These people had long since lost the rules in the chaos, and kept shouting loudly and attacking Long Sihai. Although Long Tianyao and Long Tianxiang later spoke out to defend themselves, their words were really pale.
Long Tianhao was already timid at this time. There was no guard around him and he didn't know who the murderer was, which made him feel too insecure. This made him want to leave, so he looked at Li Ling and Dao Nanxing: "Let's leave now, let's talk about it later."
As soon as he said that Li Ling was constantly scanning the left and right corners with suspicion, and his face was extremely solemn, which made him very curious and asked, "Why, have you seen something?"
Li Ling whispered: "This matter is indeed quite strange. Sect Master, look at the snow around the yard, there is no footprint, only the area opposite the yard gate, which is trampled into chaos by us."
Long Tianhao was a little nervous and didn't catch the point of the sentence for a while: "So what? Are you saying that the murderer's footsteps were stepped on by us? Isn't this normal?"
Not to mention the southwest, even in the Central Plains, such a big murder case has occurred. Many people come to see the truth about it. The scene will inevitably be destroyed to a terrible surprise. After all, today is different from hundreds of years later, there is no such thing as protecting the on-site environment at this time.
Li Ling still maintained his thoughts, glanced around again, and whispered: "I'm not trying to find the murderer with this, I mean, this is unreasonable! If the murderer wants to enter this place at night, he will definitely need to climb over the wall. Judging from the height of the walls around the courtyard, the left and right are the most suitable wall over. In addition, even if they really flip in from the front, they shouldn't flip over from the highest courtyard gate, and should choose the two points slightly to lean on. But look, the snow on both sides is still complete, without any footprints!"
Long Tianhao followed his gaze and finally understood: "What do you mean?"
"Or it's the yard they called the door to enter, but it's not that easy to call the door in the middle of the night, and Long Tiande and the others must be wary of it. Moreover, you see that they died in the house, it doesn't look like they were going out to welcome guests. The only explanation is-" As he said that, Li Ling paused again, "The murderer entered the yard from a place they never thought of, so that he could succeed in the sneak attack. Even killing many people did not make too much noise, so that he could cover up his eyes and ears."
Long Tianhao finally understood: "You mean, there is a secret passage in this yard?" For a moment, he thought that this was the remnant of the Huntian Army under "Chang Fu", but now he has changed his mind. After all, if it is true as he said, he must be a person within the main sect.
After seeing Li Lingzheng's key point, Long Tianhao shouted without hesitation: "There may be a secret passage here to lead directly to the outside, please look for it."
When everyone who was still arguing with Long Sihai and the others heard this, they were all shocked. Then they divided some of their hands and decisively searched around the yard. However, Long Sihai and others were not able to block it at this moment, otherwise they would seem to be guilty and want to cover up the truth.
