living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 274 Death
"Young Master, it's not good!" A servant of the Zhao family stumbled out and saw Zhao Xiuxian, with uncontrollable panic on his face.

Zhao Xiuxian hurriedly scolded, "How unbecoming is it to yell and scream? There are so many guests."

Several more servants ran out in a hurry, now Zhao Xiuxian realized that the situation was wrong, hurriedly walked up to the servant, and whispered: "What's wrong?"

The servant glanced at the guests around him, held back the tears in his eyes, and whispered a few words into Zhao Xiuxian's ear.

Zhao Xiuxian was stunned immediately, with a dazed look on his face. He stood there for a few seconds before recovering. His complexion was as pale as paper, and he almost squeezed two words out of his throat: "What?"

"Take me there."

"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Xiuwu also walked over quickly, looking at Zhao Xiuxian's gloomy expression with great confusion.

Zhao Xiuxian didn't seem to hear it, his expression was still shocked and unbelievable, and he walked quickly to the back hall like the wind.

The whole hall fell silent. The guests didn't know what happened to the Zhao family, and all kinds of questioning eyes shot here.

The servants of the Zhao family came in and out in a panic, and some of them carried first aid kits and traditional Chinese medicine kits, looking like doctors.

Mu Lan and Ye Lingyu looked at each other, and they both saw consternation in each other's eyes. Just now, both of them were wondering where the old Patriarch had gone, but now the incident happened in the back hall. Judging from the reaction of the Zhao family, the old Patriarch might have problem occurs.

Something happened to the old master.

Everyone thought of this after hearing Zhao Xiuxian's sad cry. The head of the Yu family stood up first and called the servants of the Zhao family to ask the reason. Several other aristocratic families also looked inexplicable. No one could think of the old head. This kind of thing happened at the birthday party.

"Old master, let's go"

After the Zhao family steward said these words, he lowered his head with a sad expression. These words were like a bolt of lightning exploding in the dark clouds, shocking everyone present.

"What?" Zhao Ziyu couldn't believe that the auspicious old man who was talking and laughing with him just now would die at his birthday banquet, so he rushed to the back hall after grabbing a servant of the Zhao family.

Things happened so suddenly that the main hall suddenly became chaotic. People came up to ask questions and talked with each other. The birthday banquet venue turned into a buzzing place like a vegetable market.

Mu Lan saw Zhao Xiuwu walking out of the back hall with a sad face, and then shouted angrily at a housekeeper: "Zhao Fu, seal the villa immediately, and everyone is not allowed to leave!"

"Lanlan? What's going on?" Lin Yiyi saw the angry Zhao Xiuwu rush out of the main hall with a group of people, and the Zhao family with weapons closed the gate of the main house, surrounded everyone, and the whole birthday banquet The atmosphere is depressing and chilling.

"I don't know." Mu Lan saw that many Zhao family children blocked the guests who wanted to enter the back hall, so she stopped thinking about it and said, "Ziyu went in, and he will be in the soul link later. speak."

Now the Zhao family's behavior proved that the death of the old patriarch of Zhao was abnormal. The Zhao family in Lingnan was suspicious of the guests who attended the banquet, and the old patriarch must have died of homicide.

The guests present were either from the ancient martial arts family, or the top Chinese god-chosen teams such as Heisha League and Mie Shen Pavilion. The Zhao family’s actions immediately made everyone look bad. Under such constraints, a member of the Zhao family who was blocking the door was immediately kicked away.

"In my Zhao family in Lingnan, don't let yourself be presumptuous!"

Zhao Xiuwu had already turned back, he pushed away his servant, and at this time a fatal eagle claw had struck, and it was only an inch away from being inserted into the chest of Zhao's servant.

Zhao Xiuwu instantly released his internal energy, and there was a loud noise, and both of them retreated a few meters away.

"The Chu family?"

Zhao Xiuwu squinted his eyes lightly, with an uneasy expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Is this the way of the Chu family's tutoring? How did Mr. Chu teach you all!"

Mu Lan from the Chu family on the opposite side happened to be familiar with him. He was the white-clothed martial artist who attacked Zhao's father at that time. He changed his clothes and sat in the back of the main hall today. The other three people also stood behind him.

"Chu Huan, sit down."

A voice came from the Chu family table next to him. The person speaking was Chu Chen's eldest brother, Chu Jun.

There was a half-smile on his face, and after speaking, the man called Chu Huan nodded respectfully, and led the people to sit in his seat.

"Chu Jun?" Zhao Xiuwu stared at Chu Jun with a smile on his face, a little uncontrollable anger, he took a deep breath for a moment, then calmed down and said: "Today's incident is really an accident, and it disturbed everyone's interest, I hope you will bear with me. .”

Then he looked at Chu Huaijin, the head of the family who was sitting firmly, and said solemnly: "The old head of the house died unexpectedly, and the murderer may be in the banquet. In consideration of the friendship between our ancient martial arts family, please sit down for a while and don't leave. , and the restrictions will be lifted when we find out the truth."

Chu Huaijin sighed and seemed to be very sad. He waved his hand to signal the two juniors to be calm.

"Thank you, head of the Chu family." Zhao Xiuwu clasped his fists and walked towards the back hall without stopping.

As soon as the Patriarch of the Chu family made his statement, the direct descendants of the Chu family and some of the subordinate descendants immediately fell silent. At this time, Uncle Wang of the Ye family discussed in Ye Lingfeng's ear for a while. family requirements.

Ah Feng could feel the hidden murderous intent in the main hall, and he tensed up a little bit. He is a person who is very sensitive to dangerous environments. The action of taking out the weapon at any time in the hand.

Mu Lan can sense the situation in the back hall through spiritual power.

Both Zhao and Yu's families squeezed into a room on the west side of the back hall. From the four treasures of the study and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, it could be seen that it was the study of the old Patriarch Zhao, but Mu Lan found that some people were missing, and the spiritual perception also appeared. There is a vacancy.

After a while, the figures of Zhao Ziyu and the others suddenly appeared, and Mu Lan realized that there was another room in the study, which was behind the screen, but the specific details inside could not be perceived, and it was actually blocked.

Zhao Ziyu and these non-direct descendants were "invited". It seemed that Zhao Xiuxian didn't want everyone to see the death of his old family leader.

While he was thinking about it, Zhao Ziyu's voice came from the spiritual link.

"The old man is indeed dead."

Mu Lan immediately concentrated her attention and listened carefully.

"He had a penetrating wound to his heart."

"Judging from the body temperature and stiffness, the time of death is within these 10 minutes, so it can be said that he just died."

"There was no murder weapon."

"I don't see the murderer
At this time, Zhao Xiuxian's wife, the married lady from Yu's family, ran out of the room covering her mouth, crying extremely terribly.

Yu Yongnian, the head of the Yu family, held his granddaughter's arm and whispered something comforting.

No matter how much he sensed it, he couldn't sense anything, so Mu Lan asked the doubts in his heart: "The old family master Zhao didn't make any movement when he returned to the study. It doesn't seem like he had fought with anyone."

"Yes." Zhao Ziyu was also puzzled, "Even if the old man's strength declines, he can't resist the killer, at least he will make some noise."

"So the Zhao family suspects that the murderer is among us?" Mu Lan thought of another direction: "What if the murderer escaped in some way, such as our escape circle."

"I thought so too at first." Zhao Ziyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But if you enter this room, you will know that the situation you mentioned is basically impossible."
