I borrowed my brain from the Emperor

Chapter 21 Death by Black Tiger Fist

Chen Luo did not disturb Old Liu Tou, but paused for a moment, bowed to Aunt Wang, and then continued to move forward.

The further back you go, the more desolate it becomes.

The places most damaged by military disasters are where these poor people live.

Chen Luo would see someone burning paper almost every two steps he took. In some families, one person died, in some families there was only one person left, and there were even several families whose lights were permanently dark. No one in the whole family was spared.

People who see this kind of scene are heartbroken.

Finally, Chen Luo arrived at the door of his third uncle's house.

After looking at the kicked down wooden door and the dark inner hall, he walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that my feet were all black and gray, and it was soft when I stepped on it.

The house had obviously been ravaged by thieves, it was in a mess, and even the water tank in the yard was broken. The house in the main hall was also burned by the fire, and the main hall had collapsed. The side rooms were still in good condition. It seemed that someone came to put out the fire later.

After Chen Luo glanced around, he quickly walked to the place where his third uncle buried Eunuch Wei.

Although the third uncle's methods were very professional, time was too rushed after all. If someone came to investigate, they would definitely find traces.

"Someone really came here!"

Chen Luo's pupils narrowed.

Squatting down and checking it carefully, he soon discovered something was wrong.

The area where Third Uncle spread lime had been disturbed, and the black ash from the burning clothes of Eunuch Wei and others had also been dug out. Although it overlapped with the fire scene behind, the ash left after burning different materials was different. . Chen Luo and his third uncle had been burying corpses for a long time and could clearly tell the difference.

In the eyes of professionals, these traces are clues.

"Is it someone from the palace? Or someone else."

Chen Luo stood up and smashed the black ash again, mixing it with the dust from the burning house. This matter is definitely not over yet. The people behind Eunuch Wei are very cautious. So far, Chen Luo doesn't know who the enemy he is facing is.

But he also had a breakthrough, and that was the magistrate of Qingya County.

If I just wanted to kill him before, now I have another reason. It's definitely not okay to be beaten passively. No one can defend themselves for a lifetime. He had to find that hand and cut it off completely. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life with his third uncle in an unknown pursuit, not even daring to sleep.

"You can't come to this place anymore."

Chen Luo didn't stay any longer, got up and walked out of the house.

Glancing at the zombie-like civilians in the distance, a hint of enlightenment arose in his heart.

strength!

Only strong strength can give him the confidence to survive. It's useless to reason with people in this world unless you have the strength to make them sit down and listen to you.

If he hadn't happened to learn martial arts this time, he and his third uncle might have been among the corpses lying on the ground.

Going around the alley in front, Chen Luo went to the street where he shot two soldiers to death.

The streets were completely quiet now, and not a soul could be seen.

The bodies were also cleaned up, but no one cared about what happened afterwards. The death of two people in Qingya County, which is already in chaos, is extremely normal. These thieves and soldiers who stayed behind were not good things. They were more like bandits than soldiers. They just happened to be wearing the skin of the government.

After making sure that the little girl was not in danger, Chen Luo turned to another direction.

He was going to visit his master, Ma Laizi, and his junior sister, He Min.

Both of them are not ordinary people, and their chances of survival are much higher than ordinary people.

Previously, he was not strong enough, so he could only protect his third uncle first. Now that I have the ability, I naturally have to take care of the people around me as much as possible, otherwise wouldn't all this martial arts be learned in vain. After crossing the street, we soon came to the blockade area.

The once-blocked neighborhood was no longer in control. Chen Luofei passed by the houses and saw several burned-down houses. These houses are the property of Mr. Bai from Qingya County. Because of his "liaison with bandits," these houses were ransacked. Everything inside was carried away and the walls were demolished.

When passing a house, Chen Luo suddenly stopped and jumped into the yard.

Unlike other burned areas, this courtyard is very well preserved. Even the flowers and plants in the courtyard are still intact. The study room inside is even more neatly arranged. There is still ink that someone has polished in the inkstone. Come to think of it, Someone important must have lived here before.

Chen Luo looked around to make sure that no one would jump into the room in the future.

The room was clean and exuded a light fragrance. Chen Luo walked to the desk, dipped some ink in the inkstone with his index finger, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"Within ten days."

Through the ink, he roughly guessed the time when the people in the yard left.

This time period was the time of the 'rebellion' in Qingya County. If the people in this courtyard knew and left in advance, they must be related to those people. At the very least, they should know who was behind the 'suppression of bandits'.

"Wang Chengguan?"

Chen Luo found this name on the desk next to him.

The writing is very neat, and the strokes are powerful, like sword strokes.

Chen Luo didn't know calligraphy, but he could still tell that it was a good calligraphy.

After putting the piece of paper in his arms, he searched around the house again, and after confirming that there were no useful clues, he stood up again and headed in the direction of Ma Laizi's home.

Delayed along the way, the night deepened.

The cold air enveloped the city, making this post-war county even more icy.

Soon, Chen Luo came to the alley where Ma Laizi lived. Just like the alley next to Chen Laosan's house, this one has also been looted. The boiler next to Ma Laizi was knocked down, the windows were burned black, and the paper stuck on them was all burned away. The same thing happened at Ma Laizi's house. The repair tools were gone, and the bench next to him was kicked.

The door was half open, swaying slightly in the night wind and making a squeaking sound.

Chen Luo glanced at the gate and then glanced at the courtyard wall next to it. Climbing over the courtyard wall is safer than walking through the gate, and can avoid being killed by someone opening the door.

So he gently exerted force on his feet

The whole person jumped up like Feiyan, and fell into the courtyard wall in two steps. This is a way of using internal energy. After forging the bones, Chen Luo has become more precise in his control of his own strength, and can do many movements that he could not do before.

The courtyard was empty.

The equipment that Chen Luo used to practice was overturned, the sandbags were dropped aside, the canvas was cut open, and the sand was scattered all over the floor. The house in the main hall was also knocked open, and the only intact door panels were covered with marks of knife cuts.

Chen Luo quickly walked to the door, and as soon as he passed the threshold, he happened to see a body lying inside.

His heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and turned the body over.

A strange face.

"fine."

Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he realized something was wrong.

Because this corpse was actually beaten to death with fists. The move is exactly the killer move in Black Tiger Fist - Black Tiger takes out the heart!
  Thinking of this, Chen Luo pulled open the man's clothes and found that there was indeed a hole in his chest, and someone had dug out his heart.

"Did Master Ma kill this Quan Jin man?"

Chen Luo touched the wound with his hand, and the remaining power of the Black Tiger Fist made him feel a bit familiar.
