After hearing this and looking outside the door, there was still no movement, Yang Ting's heart gradually sank.

There were so many guards in the mansion, and the movement just now was enough to alarm many people.

But now there is no response, indicating that these guards are probably in danger.

He quietly moved towards the window and said at the same time: "I don't know you. There must be some misunderstanding between us."

"Misunderstand?"

Sun Jue twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a sarcastic smile.

"The Sheriff is actually able to say such words. It seems that he is really afraid of death!"

A dark sword light rose up, and wherever it went, the weak light seemed to be swallowed up.

Yang Ting was shocked and looked at the housekeeper who had been following him for many years. A line of blood emerged from the middle of his body, and then suddenly split into two halves.

Blood and organs seemed to be free of charge, scattered all over the floor.

"Six-Destroying Demon Sword of Sanjue Hall, are you from Sanjue Hall? I have no enmity with Sanjue Hall, why do you do this?"

Yang Ting only felt that his throat was a little dry, but he knew that he had to stay calm now and not panic or be confused.

"I am an official of the imperial court. Do you know that if you kill me, Sanjuetang will not be able to protect you!"

Sun Jue glanced at a servant hiding in the corner, and then said: "This is not what you have to worry about. The rules of the imperial court have been corrupted for a long time. Even a scum like you can sit in the position of the county guard and dominate the whole country.

The fate of the people of the county."

"Even if I kill you today, will the court be in trouble with me, Sanjuetang, over a dead man?"

Yang Ting himself was not sure what the court would do after his death.

But he had to be sure and seek a glimmer of hope: "If the court does not avenge me, where is its prestige? If this precedent is set, killings of officials will occur frequently, and the situation will be even worse."

"It's impossible for all the gentlemen in the court to know this truth!"

"This reminds me, don't worry, I will use your blood to write all the evil you have done on this floor later. I am doing justice for God."

Sun Jue grinned and said, "I believe that with these excuses, the court will not bother to mobilize people. If not, who will know that I killed you? There is not a single witness here!"

Hearing this, Yang Ting's expression suddenly changed: "You are not..."

At this moment, Sun Jue took a step forward, and the dark sword light appeared again, bringing up a huge human head.

The head flew up and landed on the table.

The blood spurting out merged with the dark ink stains.

"Blood is used as ink to write guilt, and the light of sword is used as pen to punish bad deeds."

Ignoring the trembling servants huddled in the corner, Sun Jue turned around and disappeared into the rainy night after writing a long list of crimes.

Shortly after Sun Jue left, the servant stumbled up and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Sheriff has been assassinated!"

The remaining people in the governor's mansion quickly gathered together.

Looking at the corpses and the blood on the ground, most people were panicking and didn't know what to do.

But there were also some who were relatively calm and proposed to report it to the official.

"Master is the biggest official in Zhuoyang City. What official should I report to?"

Immediately, someone raised their doubts.

"Of course it's the county magistrate of Zhuoyang City and the county lieutenant. They are the only ones who can uphold justice at this time."

Soon, several people were sent to report to the official.

The time for half a stick of incense has passed.

In the wind and rain, you can still clearly hear the sound of galloping horses and the sound of armor clashing.

Many soldiers divided into two teams and entered the governor's mansion.

Then a middle-aged man in black armor got off his horse and walked into the governor's mansion along the passage formed by two teams of horses.

After some inspections, County Lieutenant Zheng Xuan walked out of the study with a solemn expression.

He stared at the servant in front of him, calmly asking: "You saw the murderer?"

"Yes, sir, the villain saw it accidentally. If the villain hadn't been clever, he would have been killed."

"Tell me in detail, where were you, what did you see, what did you hear?"

Zheng Xuan said in a deep voice.

What happened this time is undoubtedly extremely bad and will probably have a great impact on him.

Who told him that his duty is to protect the environment and the people and maintain peace in the county?

Now his immediate boss has been assassinated. Unless he can catch the murderer and atone for his crime, the future life will not be easy.

You might even be charged.

"The villain was going out to pay respects at night, but he saw a black figure and killed the guards one by one."

"I was so scared that I hid in the dark and didn't dare to make a sound. Then I saw the figure coming this way. I thought that the master was here, so I took the risk and followed him."

"Then I saw the man split the housekeeper in half, and finally cut the master to death."

"I vaguely heard that before he died, the master seemed to say that this man was from Sanjuetang, and told him what the consequences would be if he killed the imperial official."

The servant gave a rough outline of what happened.

"Judging from the wounds of these people and the remaining auras, they are indeed Sanjuetang's Six-Destroying Demon Sword. However, is this person too unscrupulous? He has no intention of concealing his identity at all?"

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Zheng Xuan said loudly: "I will report this matter to the governor as soon as possible and write to the imperial court."

"Whoever comes, take him back first and be sure to protect him. He is an important witness."

"yes!"

In the absence of other clues, there are still many doubts about this matter.

But for Zheng Xuan, the most important thing now is to identify the murderer, whether it is true or false!

The autumn rain just passed last night, the sky is clear and the air is fresh.

The smoke-filled willows beside the road, with rain and dew rolling on their branches and leaves, look increasingly bleak.

The flying green tiles on the governor's house, and even the two pairs of stone lions in front of the door, were washed by the rain and looked particularly clean.

It was originally an ordinary morning, but at this time the Sheriff's Mansion was already surrounded by a group of soldiers.

But it seems that there is no airtight wall in the world.

The news that the county governor Yang Ting was assassinated spread quickly.

Even the fact that the murderer was a member of Sanjuetang and the scene when Yang Ting was killed were all reported clearly.

Such a big event naturally spread quickly in Zhuoyang City.

And it is spreading at an extremely fast speed, with Zhuoyang City as the center.

Everyone who learned about this incident was paying attention to the subsequent development.

Whether the imperial court will take action against Sanjuetang has become a hotly debated topic.

The culprit who caused all this has long been far away from Zhuoyang City, the center of the upcoming storm, and headed towards Bazhou along the agreed route.
