Chapter 227 Lin Yun meets the son of an old friend and plans to help
"Are you Lord Tian's wife?" The other martial artists exclaimed and stood up.
"Exactly."
"Hu Zhongping from Xuanwu Gate greets Madam Tian!" The martial artist who called himself Hu Zhongping saluted Lin Yunzhi again, and then motioned for others to come over and say hello.
"Madam Tian, these are the young men from my Xuanwu Sect."
The remaining few people saluted to Lin Yunzhi in unison and said respectfully, "Greetings, Madam Tian."
"There is no need to be polite, brave men. When you are out, just follow the rules of the underworld. Who is Hu Dingshan, the old leader of Xuanwu Sect, to you?" Lin Yunzhi asked softly.
"It's my father!" Hu Zhongping once heard his father say that there was a mysterious person in the world who led the Xuanmen forces, and then disappeared after he got married.
Hu Dingshan said that he had seen the woman in Wucheng, walking beside the Wucheng County Magistrate.
"I met your father once in my early years. Your father was a man of great integrity and righteousness. He was skilled in using a pair of mandarin duck swords. He was ranked fifth in the martial arts world and his kung fu was unfathomable."
There was a sense of appreciation and respect in Lin Yunzhi's voice.
"My father fell ill years ago and passed away." Hu Zhongping told Lin Yunzhi sadly, something he has not yet accepted.
"How is it possible? He is almost fifty years old, how could he be sick? Besides, my master once predicted that he would live to be eighty years old. What happened?"
Lin Yunzhi was surprised.
Back then, her master was known as a fortune teller, but unfortunately, his only skill was fortune-telling, and he refused to teach her, nor did he allow anyone in his sect to teach her anything.
So she didn't learn.
Lin Yunzhi recalled her master’s look of worry and surprise. Perhaps her master had calculated the two unexpected events in her life?
One Tian Xiaoxiao and one Tian Xixi in her arms?
At the moment, it seems that they are all surprises. Are there more hardships waiting for her in the future?
When Hu Zhongping heard Lin Yunzhi say this, he also recalled the strangeness of his father when he was alive.
"Mrs. Tian, my father did something that the whole family found incredible."
Hu Zhongping said cautiously.
"What's the matter?"
"He was chivalrous and picked up a girl of 17 or 18 years old and placed her in the backyard."
"He married that woman as a concubine?"
“She was not given any official status, but my father would go to her yard every now and then. The servants who served him said that he went to give her paintings.
This went on for more than half a year. My father was out for a few days. That day, he came home in the pouring rain and started talking nonsense.
I called a doctor, who said that evil wind had entered my body, and coupled with excessive worry, no medicine could cure me, and I couldn't recover.
My father had been bedridden for more than a month. He was weak and skinny. He died without taking a breath. ”
Hu Zhongping couldn't help crying when he talked about his sad moments.
"Where is that girl now?" Lin Yunzhi felt that Hu Dingshan's illness was most likely related to the girl who was rescued.
"After my father died of illness, she knelt in the mourning hall for three days and three nights. After my father's funeral, she kept vigil for another 49 days, and then she disappeared."
Hu Zhongping wiped away his tears and recalled the scene at that time.
"Do you have a portrait of that girl? Give it to me. When I return to Shengjing, I'll have someone check it out for you. I have a vague feeling that the girl might know something."
"Will this trouble Madam Tian?" Hu Zhongping was surprised by Lin Yunzhi's warm-heartedness, and several other people from Xuanwu Gate were also surprised.
Mrs. Tian was actually willing to lend a helping hand to someone she only met once more than 20 years ago?
"I admire the righteousness of Master Hu. He saved countless beggars during his lifetime and he did not deserve this misfortune. I will definitely find out the cause of his death.
After the investigation is complete, Xuanwumen will repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge, and will not let that villain go unpunished."
"Thank you, Mrs. Tian!"
"You are Welcome!"
"Mrs. Tian, I don't have the portrait of that woman. I need to rush back home and ask someone to draw it." Hu Zhongping looked embarrassed.
"Xuanwu Gate is in Jinchuan, and it takes a long time to go back and forth.
How about this, no need for a portrait, but I need you to stay with me for a few days. However, during these few days, no matter what you see or hear, you have to pretend that you didn't see or hear it. Is it possible?"
"You mean, eating melons?" Hu Zhongping asked tentatively.
"Hey, do you know about this too?" Lin Yunzhi was surprised!
Hu Zhongping smiled innocently, "I've heard a little bit about it. I was originally planning to go to Shengjing after passing Fuyong Town and be a spectator. I didn't expect to meet you here. Where's Miss Tian?"
"She has been feeling tired these days and is resting in the inn.
The woman at the tea stall poisoned the tea, and at the inn, she added forget-me-nots to the food, controlling people's minds in order to steal money and kill people.
In the morning, we punished the woman's accomplices, and now it is her turn."
Hu Zhongping finally understood that Lin Yunzhi had saved his life and the lives of several fellow apprentices. "Thank you, Madam Tian, for saving my life!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Hu."
Under the torture of Ruozhu and Ade, the woman confessed why the entire town did not light any lights at night. If any family dared to light a light, someone in that family would die under the town's archway the next day.
As time went by, naturally, no one dared to light a lamp anymore.
If someone goes to report to the police, they will disappear on the way and become dried meat, dead body, or a tool for brothels to make money.
However, as long as they didn't light a lamp or report to the police, no one would hurt them, and they even lived a pretty good life.
Later, the people all knew what to do.
Tian Xixi: Cruel, inhumane, a master at controlling people's minds!
Everyone rested for a while and then returned to Longmen Inn to meet up with Tian Xiaoxiao.
The man and the cat were sleeping soundly, and Lin Yunzhi couldn't bear to disturb them.
The owner and the waiter of Longmen Inn were tied to the table by Tian Xiaoxiao, their mouths were blocked, and they were unconscious.
Lin Yunzhi asked Ruozhu and Ade to go to the kitchen to see if there were any fresh ingredients to cook a meal.
Tian Xiwen poured water on the shopkeeper and the waiter to wake them up. As a result, when the shopkeeper and the waiter woke up and saw so many "ghosts", they shouted, "Ghosts!" and fainted again.
Tian Lele: "Brother, your methods are too gentle, look at me!"
Tian Lele walked up to the shopkeeper and the waiter and slapped them a few times. The shopkeeper and the waiter immediately woke up.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. We were just following orders for a little money. If you want to find trouble with the person who killed you, you've come to the wrong place."
The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he spoke.
"Lift up your head that is about to move and see whether I am a human or a ghost!" Tian Lele lifted up the shopkeeper's head with the dagger in her hand.
"You, you, you, you are not a ghost?"
"You are the ghost, your whole family is a ghost! You, you, you what do you mean by you?"
"How could you come out alive after being poisoned like that?" The shopkeeper's mouth was so big that an egg could fit in it.
"You know nothing about the abilities of this world, and you just think that group of people are invincible? Let me tell you, they all got their comeuppance!" Tian Lele leaned over the shopkeeper's ear in a sinister tone to scare him.
"Impossible! Mr. Zhou is quite skilled in martial arts and ranks 35th on the Jianghu Rankings. Although Xinghui has never appeared on the rankings, he is no ordinary person.
Besides, the Xinghui Palace is guarded by a divine weapon, and Taoist Wuming has great magical powers. How could you possibly come back alive?"
"As you can see!"
