Chapter 42: Blood Lake
"Why, I'm beaten like this, and I still want to pretend to die to cheat me?"
Yan Zhihai stood there, and did not come forward to check the assassin's condition, but smiled sinisterly.
Sure enough, the assassin lying on the lake suddenly stood up, held a shaky dagger in his right hand, pointed at Yan Zhihai, and yelled with gritted teeth: "Old thief Yan Wei, I wish I could eat your flesh, drink your blood, and cut it into pieces to vent my hatred!"
This voice is a man.
Yan Zhihai's face turned pale and shouted, "Who are you? Who instructed you to murder Yan? What you said is probably going to spare your life!"
The assassin did not answer, turned to a lake, and shouted sadly: "Wan'er, Brother Tian is useless, I can't help you avenge you. I'm here to accompany you!"
As he said that, he flew into the lake and jumped into the air. The person was in the air. His dagger was wiping his throat straight into his hands, and blood immediately splashed out.
With a thud, it fell into the water, and the blood and the water were the same color. The man sank.
Then a large area of bright red rose and turned into a prairie fire, spreading continuously, almost making half of the lake red. It looked particularly weird.
The Lake of Fate and Fame has become a Lake of Blood!
When the people watching on the lakeshore saw it, they were shocked and retreated one after another, fearing that the blood would wash up and hit them.
Even if a person's blood is drained, it is difficult to dye such a large area of lake water red.
This incident was beyond everyone's imagination and was shocking.
Chen Tang stood by the lake, his feet motionless, staring at the blood lake tightly. He seemed to have caught something in his mind, but a flash of thoughts broke.
At this time, the brigade of yamen runners and soldiers who rushed to the academy after hearing the news set off and set up a guard around them, and let all the onlookers leave, return to the school and go home to disperse them. As for the female students in the ladies' class, some people went to comfort and send them to the hospital.
The efficiency was very high, and in just half a quarter of an hour, except for the officials and soldiers, the idle people, etc., were basically cleared.
"Director Yan, are you okay?"
A character dressed in a general came over there and quickly greeted him.
Yan Zhihai replied coldly: "I was stabbed and the blade was poisoned, but I have already suppressed it."
The general hurriedly said, "Escort Director Yan down to heal his wounds."
Immediately, two officers and soldiers, one left and one right, helped Yan Zhihai leave.
The Yan family is a prominent family in Panzhou and has a great power. Another Yan Zhifeng is in high position. He serves as the Tongzhi of Panzhou and a fifth-rank official. He is responsible for local salt and grain, robbery, and river defense. He is in a high position and power.
Yan Zhihai is Yan Zhifeng's brother and is also a famous and famous figure. During class, he was assassinated and had a very bad influence. The yamen runners and soldiers who came to hear the news did not dare to neglect them. They immediately began to investigate and took the ship to salvage the assassin's place where he jumped into the lake.
At this time, the red-colored lake water gradually became normal and slowly returned to its original state. But when the willows were shining on the shore, the wind blew, the lake surface was rolling and the scenery seemed to be like a scene, as if nothing had ever happened.
All the grievances and all the severity of the scoundrels will be given a scoop of clear water.
"Not found!"
“No…”
The person in charge of the salvage shouted loudly, feeling surprised. You should know that although the Lake of Gongming is living water, the water flows not fast and is not deep. According to the principle, it has only been a short period of time for the other party to jump into the lake, and it should be easy to find the body.
If it weren't for the public's sight that the assassin had wiped his throat and the blood dyed the large area of the lake red, the salvage would even suspect that the other party had pretended to die and escaped by the water.
Suddenly the wind started to rise, whistling and whistling, and some waves were stirred up. One of the people standing on the bow of the boat was unprepared, and two of them were directly lifted into the lake. Fortunately, they could water, so they swam back to the side of the boat and asked the people on the boat to pull it up.
"Oh, it seems that something caught my foot..."
Suddenly, he screamed in panic. He struggled hard. The person on the boat hurriedly reached out and pulled him to the boat and asked, "Xin Laowu, is there really something to catch your feet?"
Xin Laowu's face was a little pale: "I felt it."
One of them pointed at several aquatic plants on his ankle and cursed: "Idiot, you hooked up the aquatic plants."
When Xin Laowu saw him, his face turned red and everyone laughed.
The strong wind blew, and then it crackled, and a soybean-sized raindrop fell.
The world is white.
The wind and rain were heavy, the lake water surged, and the bodies could not be salvaged. Everyone hurried to take a boat to dock and leave shelter from the rain.
The guards of the yamen runners around were the same. They ran away, hid in the pavilion, or hid under the willow trees, avoiding the shower first.
He was dispersed by the yamen runners, but said that Chen Tang had left the academy and walked home.
Along the way, he was thinking about the assassination.
It is obvious that the assassin has some relationship with Wan'er, a girl who was humiliated and died of humiliation the previous year. It may be a relative or a lover. This son endured humiliation and went to learn martial arts, or made some preparations. He endured it until today before he got into the class of ladies and was assassinated.
Unfortunately, he failed and failed to kill. He was desperate and went straight to the lake to commit suicide.
The process of this matter is tortuous and bizarre. If it is completely excavated and the details are restored, it will definitely be written into a surprising and heroic story.
However, Chen Tang only guessed the general details, and there was no way to know and no need.
After all, he is just a scholar, not a constable and a captain responsible for arresting and handling cases.
I thought of the bright red blood of the lake, which made people feel inexplicable. It is said that if there is grievance, there will be strange phenomena from the sky, so there will be frost in June.
Could it be that Brother Wan'er and Tianzhe were so angry that they threw themselves into the lake, so there was a supernatural phenomenon of the lake dyed red?
Anyway, in this unusual world, Chen Tang now feels that anything is possible.
While the blood was spreading, he stood by the lake and used the aura of heaven and man, hoping to sense something.
But only after practicing this qi, you can only use it according to the skills of fist and foot, and the fist wind will be used to cover a distance of more than one foot. If it is farther, you will be unable to match your strength.
Therefore, you have to get close to you to feel it; if you are far apart, you will have no choice.
I looked up and watched the sky. Seeing that the heavy rain was approaching, I walked two steps faster. As soon as I entered the house, the raindrops fell.
Su Ling had almost finished cooking. When she saw him coming back, she hurriedly talked about what Wang Fu had visited.
At that time, Su Ling was the only one in the family. Wang Fu and his uncle and nephew were inconvenient to stay. After giving some words, he left.
"Assess the village cultural conference?"
After hearing this, Chen Tang nodded: "I understand."
Su Ling didn't understand what this article would do. She probably wanted to invite Brother Bujin to write articles, recite poems and lyrics, and said, "Brother Bujin, I will cook the last dish and I will be able to eat."
"good."
