Chapter 54 Doubt

Seeing that there was no one else in the Li family mansion, Zhang Wenjin withdrew his waist knife and used Li Cunshan's sword to slaughter all the poisoned people present.After cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Wenjin collected a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and bank notes, then put the corpses together, took lamp oil and poured it on the corpses to ignite them, destroying the corpses and eliminating traces.

While the fire in the hall was still burning, Zhang Wenjin walked over the wall and returned to the county government office.The people in the county office who were fascinated by the mist hadn't woken up yet, and Zhang Wenjin also pretended to fall to the ground with a knife in his waist.

In less than an hour, someone shouted: "Look, this is on fire, it's turning the sky red."

"It's the direction of the Li family, and the Li family deserves it the most!"

"That's right, bah! Usually there are five people and six people, and men steal and prostitute secretly. The Li family is not a good thing."

……

All the people in the county government went out of the house, looked up at the red-hot half of the sky, and talked a lot.

The three detectives who were fascinated by the small courtyard woke up and shook their heads feeling a headache.

"Brother, we've been tricked, right? Go and see Catcher Feng." A policeman turned and ran into the house after speaking.

At this moment, Feng Hu stumbled out of the room and shouted: "Come on, catch the assassin!"

His voice attracted many officials from the county government, and Lord Lu and County Captain Hu also arrived.Everyone rushed out of Zhang Wenjin's room, only to see the door was wide open.Inside the door fell two people.

"Quick, save people first!" Master Lu ordered.

After everyone carried Zhang Wenjin to the bed for examination, Hu Xianwei woke up Zhang Wenjin by spraying cold water.

"Lieutenant Hu County, I'm not dead!" Zhang Wenjin pretended to be surprised.

"He's not dead, you're alive and well. What's going on?" While County Captain Hu was speaking, some policemen had already done an inquest, recorded it, and carried Shen Zhou's dead body out.

"I was practicing at night, and I smelled a scent, and my mind was heavy. At this moment, a man in white rushed in and wanted to take my life. I fought with him, chopped off his head, and stabbed him in the chest. I took his poisonous needle and passed out. Then I didn’t know anything about it.” Zhang Wenjin had many secrets, and he didn’t want the people in the county government to know, so he explained the matter lightly.

"It's good that he wasn't injured. This person is a disciple of the Poison Immortal. His name is Shen Zhou, nicknamed the Poison Gentleman." Hu Xianwei said.

"It's good that you're fine. You should have a good rest. I'll leave the rest to Feng Hu." Lord Lu said.

Everyone exited Zhang Wenjin's room.

County Captain Hu suddenly remembered something, and came to Zhang Wenjin again and asked, "Do you know about the fire in the Li family mansion?"

Zhang Wenjin looked at Lieutenant Hu in bewilderment and said, "I don't know what is on fire!"

Lieutenant Hu Xian stared at Zhang Wenjin, always feeling that the fire in Li's mansion was related to Zhang Wenjin, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he turned and left the small courtyard.

In fact, even if he knew the truth of the matter, Lieutenant Hu would not report on Zhang Wenjin, because he had also been insulted by the Li family. At this time, Lieutenant Hu just asked out of professional sensitivity.

The fire in Li's house burned for four days and four nights, leaving no rubble.The neighbors around had all been bullied by the Li family to some extent, so no one went to put out the fire.

When the state heard the news, when the second son of the Li family hurriedly found the governor to help investigate, the scene displayed in front of Liu Fengshan and Liu Butou sent by the state was only a piece of scorched earth and a charred corpse that had been burned in a disfigured shape.

After investigation, Inspector Liu and Wu Zuo came to the conclusion that the members of the Li family were killed and then set fire to destroy the corpses.The murderer is probably a bandit in the mountains.Seeing that the Li family had moved away, bandits in the mountain took advantage of the emptiness of the house and entered to cause a tragedy, but it is impossible to know which group of bandits did it because there are so many bandits in the mountain.

Master Lu also reported the attack on the county government office to the prefecture. Liu Fengshan inspected the scene himself, and was surprised to see that the murdered person was the apprentice of the Poison Immortal.Liu Fengshan took both black and white, so he knew a thing or two about Shen Zhou.Unexpectedly, the famous poison master died in the hands of a small head catcher, which surprised him.

The death of Shen Zhou also made Liu Fengshan more interested in Zhang Wenjin, secretly thinking about how to second Zhang Wenjin to his subordinates for his use.Of course, Lord Lu and Captain Hu did not know what Liu Fengshan had in mind.

To be honest, Liu Fengshan was also skeptical of Zhang Wenjin. A martial artist of Ming Jin could kill a martial artist of the same level as him, and this martial artist was also a master of poison, Shen Zhou, who was famous and fearful in the world.All this makes Liu Fengshan unbelievable. Decades of experience tell Liu Fengshan and Zhang Wenjin that it is not easy.

Liu Fengshan brought people to Yunju County to investigate for five or six days, but found no clues. Fortunately, he stopped searching and went back home to report to the governor.

The two big families in Yunju County, Zhao Laocai and Li's family were both moved down, fled and moved, and they dared not show up in Yunju County again.Yunju County, where bandits are rampant on weekdays, has ushered in a brief period of peace.

Photographed by the county government's methods against the Li family and the Zhao family, the other small families have been completely honest and paid their taxes on time.Master Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and found the dignity of being an imperial official.

The matter in the county was settled. Zhang Wenjin finished his training that day and took out a few iron-like but not-iron objects and purple gold.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Feng Hu asked as he walked in and saw Zhang Wenjin fiddling with several objects.

"It's nothing. I don't know what these iron and non-iron objects are. They are very heavy. I chopped them with a waist knife and left a large gap on the waist knife. It can be seen that this thing is unusual. Do you know it? Blacksmith? I want to use these materials to make a knife." Zhang Wenjin looked up at Feng Hu and asked.

"It's easy to handle. In the early years, I knew a blacksmith who specialized in making weapons for Jianghu people. His craftsmanship was very good. You must be looking for him, but I don't know if he is still alive." Feng Hu tilted his head and thought for a while.

"Does he live far from here?" Zhang Wenjin asked with bright eyes.

"Not far away, I live in the village on the north side of the Donghe River. I also lived in his house for a while. It's getting late today, and I'll take you there tomorrow." Feng Hu said.

Before dawn on the second day, Zhang Wenjin called Feng Hu up, took leave of absence from Master Lu and County Captain Hu, and the two rode out of the county government office.

The village Feng Hu mentioned was called Qilin Village, and it was [-] kilometers away from the Donghe River.

At noon, Zhang Wenjin and Feng Hu came to the village.Feng Hu led Zhang Wenjin to a mountain behind the village with several turns. There were three stone houses at the foot of the mountain, and there was a clanging sound of iron being struck in one of them.

"Uncle Wu, is uncle there?" Feng Hu shouted outside the courtyard gate.

After the clanging stopped, an old man came out of the house, with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, most of his hair had fallen out, a linen apron in front of his body, and his upper body was bare.

"It's a tiger! Come quickly, I haven't seen you, I heard that you are doing something in the county government, and you are promising." Blacksmith Wu said, wiping his hands with a sackcloth, and walked over.

"Uncle, long time no see. How is your health? This is my elder brother Zhang Wenjin. He has something to ask you." Feng Hu said while leading the horse.

"Oh? It's the little policeman who beat off the bandits and drove away the Li family and the Zhao family?" Blacksmith Wu looked Zhang Wenjin up and down.

"Exactly!" Feng Hu said.

"The old man has won the award. This is not something I can do alone. It is because of the help of everyone that I am today." Zhang Wenjin clasped his fists and said.

"Yes, yes, no, no, what is the award but not the award? Don't talk about those polite words. Tell me, what do you want me for?" Blacksmith Wu asked.

"I have a few pieces of material, please take a look, can it be refined into a weapon?" After Zhang Wenjin finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of material from his pocket and put them on the ground.

Blacksmith Wu squatted down to look carefully, picked it up and smelled it, and looked at Zhang Wenjin after a while, in disbelief: "Do you really want to build a weapon?"

 I will save some manuscripts after the [-]th, and come back from the holiday to see the situation and make changes.It is really sad that there is no manuscript!
