”Awesome!” ”Murder!”

Originally, the entrance of the courtyard was surrounded by so many people that not even a drop of water could leak out. Yet, upon hearing such a shout, it immediately became noisy, causing one's head to hurt.

”Benefactor, please be quiet!” At this moment, the monk finally spoke. Following his words, the crowd immediately quietened down.

”Benefactor Wu, may I trouble you to find someone with quick legs to report this matter to the yamen.” The monk said righteously to the people around him.

Li Zheng nodded his head and pointed to a young man in the crowd. After giving him some instructions, the young man ran off.

Then, he let the others leave first. At this time, the only ones left in the courtyard were the monk, his apprentice, Old Man Wu, Luo Lingwei, and the others.

”Benefactor, this humble monk would like to take a look at the room. Is that possible?” The monk asked, but did not wait for Luo Lingwei's reply and walked straight into the house.

Behind him, the young monk and Li Zheng also quickly followed.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Shamei who was tied to a pillar with a short knife in her chest. Seeing this, the monk couldn't help but cry out loud, ”Hui Guang, my disciple!”

With that, the monk was about to step forward and cry, but Zhang Long grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

”What are all of you doing!?” The monk looked at Zhang Long with a blank expression.

At this moment, Zhao Hu had also chased Li Zheng and Little Shamei out of the house.

”Don't mess around at the scene of the crime. If you destroy any material evidence, can you bear the consequences?” Luo Lingwei said coldly.

The old monk and the young monk didn't know what to say, and seeing this situation, they could only nod and gnash their teeth and say: ”Fine, fine, you all dare to insult this poor monk, and even kill this poor monk's beloved disciple. You all just wait and see! ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Moreover, he was also afraid that if these people left, he would be the one to suffer when the yamen asked, so he sat down at Aunt Wang's courtyard gate, looked at Luo Lingwei and the others, and did not say anything.

After about half a day, a few people came back with the young man who had left earlier.

The young man brought a few messengers to the scene, gave a few instructions and then went back home to rest.

At this time, the few people who had been sent to the gate saw Zhang Long and Zhao Hu with long blades in their hands protecting Luo Lingwei. Looking at Luo Lingwei's noble temperament and her many years of experience, it was easy to tell from a glance that this woman was not an ordinary person.

Instead of the usual fiendish expression, he respectfully stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Luo Lingwei and the others, ”Excuse me, may I ask if there has been any deaths here?”

Luo Lingwei nodded her head and pointed to the west wing: ”Yes, the corpse is currently in the room.”

A few messengers thanked Luo Lingwei and entered the house without looking back.

Seeing these servants being so courteous to Luo Lingwei and not as fierce as before, Li Jun couldn't help but be curious about the origins of these people and why the people at the yamen's entrance were so polite to them.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a Buddhist chant coming from outside the courtyard.

”Amitabha!”
