According to Kong Yi's instructions, it didn't take long for Lu Fei to arrive at a town. A house in the town was surrounded by people. Lu Fei put down the two people. When Kong Yi saw such a situation, she immediately sat down on the ground. Lu Fei had to support her. Kong Qing stepped forward and pushed the crowd aside and said, "What's going on? Everyone, make way. "
Lu Fei followed behind Kong Qing and thought that Kong Qing had some courage. Maybe it wasn't her husband who had an accident.
When the crowd around the gate saw Kong Yi coming back, they made way for her. Most of them had a look of pity on their faces. Lu Fei walked into the yard with Kong Yi and saw a corpse lying straight in the yard. The corpse's face had been covered with clothes. Kong Yi suddenly fainted. Lu Fei reached out and took the child and shouted, "Kong Qing!"
Kong Qing, who was in a daze, came back to her senses. Lu Fei handed the child to her and said, "Hold the child." Although the child didn't know what had happened, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. She didn't cry or make a fuss. Her pair of big eyes just looked at the people around her.
Lu Fei stretched out his hand and pressed it on Kong Yi's back, continuously transferring Nine Yang True Qi to her. Kong Yi opened her eyes, and when she saw the corpse on the ground, she immediately became overwhelmed with grief and threw herself at it, crying bitterly. Lu Fei stepped forward and removed the clothes covering the corpse's face, only to see a young man with a ferocious face. Although his eyelids were pulled down to cover his face, it was clear that he must have encountered an extremely terrible thing before he died, which was why he had such a terrifying face. Lu Fei covered the corpse again and checked his body again. He found that his heart was directly shattered. He was killed in one blow. The one who did this must be a martial arts master.
Lu Fei looked at the crowd and said, "Does anyone know what's going on?"
An old man sighed and said, "When I passed by, I saw his body being blown against the door. No one saw who hung it. I asked around, but no one saw. They all said … they all said that he suddenly appeared …" After hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Could it be that they had offended some kind of ghost?
Lu Fei knew that this person's movement skill must be very good. Otherwise, with so many people coming and going at noon, how could no one see it? According to this, this person's martial arts should be above Lu Fei.
Thinking of this, Lu Fei was a little uneasy. He got up and said, "I'll have to trouble the residents.... First of all, my brother-in-law's funeral." Then he took out a gold ingot and handed it to the old man and said, "I'll have to trouble this gentleman to spread out the gold ingot and ask the masters nearby to come and do the ceremony."
The old man had never seen gold in his life. He rubbed his eyes and finally realized that the gold ingot in his hand was gold. He immediately went away in joy. Lu Fei took out another gold ingot and handed it to a woman who was comforting Kong Yi and said, "I'll have to trouble this big sister to inform my brother-in-law's relatives. While you're at it, go and ask the cook to help."
The woman blankly reached out and took the gold ingot and said, "You are …" Lu Fei said, "Kong Yi is my distant cousin. I came to see her."
"Oh." The woman showed an expression of sudden realization. She got up and said, "I'll do it."
Lu Fei said to the others, "Everyone, if you don't have anything to do, please help. We'll eat here." His actions were not without purpose. The man lying on the ground obviously had a ruthless enemy. If the other party came to seek revenge and wanted to kill his wife and children, they wouldn't choose to do it when there were so many people. So Lu Fei still had some time to figure out what was going on.
Lu Fei pulled Kong Qing aside and asked, "Did your brother-in-law offend anyone?"
Kong Qing frowned and thought for a while before saying, "He was an escort. He never left his house all year round and had a good relationship with the people in the escort agency. Even if he offended someone, it would be some bandits."
Lu Fei said, "No, it's impossible for there to be such an expert among the bandits. Is there anyone else?"
Kong Qing said, "It could be that he made enemies outside. But my brother-in-law's character is very good. He never offends people easily."
Lu Fei knocked on his head and said, "That's strange …" He pondered for a while. He saw Kong Qing lowering her head and not saying anything. She seemed to be thinking about something. Obviously, she was hiding something from him. Lu Fei thought to himself, What else did she not say? What was it that made it hard for her to say? Thinking of their unnatural expressions when they mentioned their eldest sister, he asked, "It's your eldest sister's enemy, right?"
"Ah?" When Kong Qing heard Lu Fei's words, her eyes suddenly turned. Lu Fei said in a bad mood, "Tell me everything about your eldest sister. Otherwise, if the enemy comes looking for you, I'm afraid you and your second sister will lose your life."
It turned out that her eldest sister had been rebellious since she was young. When she was thirteen, she ran away from home, angering her parents to death. Later on, there was no news of her for many years. Later on, she returned home once. She heard that after her parents died, she cried for several days and left a lot of money. Some villagers said that she joined a demonic sect in the south and learned a set of ruthless martial arts. She did evil everywhere. Until now, no one knew her whereabouts.
Lu Fei said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then it's possible that it's your eldest sister's enemy. The enemy probably wanted to kill your whole family to lure your eldest sister out. But after killing your brother-in-law, they went to your house and found that you were not there. So they hung the corpse up to lure you out. If I'm not wrong, the enemy should be secretly watching us. Even if we want to escape, we can't."
Kong Qing suddenly said shyly, "Then … then what if I want to relieve myself?"
Lu Fei said helplessly, "Then I'll accompany you."
Kong Qing said awkwardly, "Then let's go."
Lu Fei laughed involuntarily and said, "I thought you were very brave. You were so scared that you peed your pants so quickly."
He accompanied Kong Qing to the latrine at the back of the courtyard. Lu Fei suddenly felt that someone was secretly watching them. He pretended not to know, but secretly he was ready to make a move. Once the other party made a move, he would immediately make a move.
Even when Kong Qing came out, the other party did not make a move. He accompanied Kong Qing back to the front yard. The people in the yard were busy preparing white cloth and cooking. The relatives of Kong Qing's brother-in-law had already rushed over. Several middle-aged people in mourning clothes were busy. A black cloth covered the corpse in the hall. Kong Yi was lying beside the corpse, still sobbing. Lu Fei said to Kong Qing, "You go and accompany your sister. Don't let her wander around. If there's anything, call me immediately. Do you understand?"
Kong Qing nodded and watched Lu Fei walk out of the door.
