Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 70: High Winds and Rough Waves

In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

During these five days, Zhongzhou City seemed to have exploded.

What people talked about most after dinner was the news that members of the White Tiger Hall were continuously being killed.

After the death of Qiu Hu, the original leader of the White Tiger Hall, the main skeleton of the White Tiger Hall is still there. A new leader has taken office and is ready to regain his power, but he will continue to do evil and harm the people.

But the new hall master was killed on the same night he took office.

In addition to the death of the new hall master, twenty backbone members of the White Tiger Hall, such as the helmsman and the leader, were killed in the past five days.

The White Tiger Hall is now like a lost dog, with its tail between its legs, in a state of panic all day long. How could it dare to show off?

No one knows when the completely confusing butcher knife will chop off their neck.

While the people were discussing it, they were secretly clapping their hands in joy.

However, the state government still dispatched officers and detectives to investigate and apprehend the murderer.

The officers and detectives were also overwhelmed. They were assigned tasks, but they conducted perfunctory investigations and were perfunctory in their response to their superiors.

Last time Qiu Hu was killed, the murderer was said to be a descendant of the Zhang family, but he ran away and was not caught. The case has not been resolved yet.

Nowadays, the backbone members of the White Tiger Hall are being eliminated every day. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone is trying to wipe out the White Tiger Hall, which has done so many bad things.

So, is it still the descendant of the Zhang family who committed the crime these days?

Most people believe that they must be descendants of the Zhang family.

But does anyone know what the descendant of the Zhang family looks like? The government can’t even issue a wanted warrant.

The Zhang family was originally a wealthy family in the north of Zhongzhou City. They ran a business that was neither big nor small. They were not considered wealthy in the city, but they were well-off and lived a relatively affluent life.

Later, for unknown reasons, the Zhang family offended Qiu Hu and was exterminated, with 28 members of the family being killed.

Fortunately, there was a seven or eight-year-old child in the Zhang family who followed his mother to Jiangchuan City, thousands of miles away, to visit his grandparents and escaped the disaster.

But there was no news of the mother and son since then, and they never returned to Zhongzhou City.

This incident has been forgotten by people for more than ten years.

Now that the White Tiger Sect has been slaughtered for days on end, it is almost on the verge of collapse, so the orphan of the Zhang family has become a hot topic.

The Zhongzhou government office checked the past population files, found out the name of the child from the Zhang family, and sent two officials to Jiangchuan City to investigate.

In addition, Cao Ruhai ordered Cao Sima to transfer 5,000 soldiers from the right camp and the center camp of the garrison army, and the entire city was under martial law.

Especially in the residences of the former members of the White Tiger Hall, there were soldiers lying in ambush at any time, waiting for the murderer to appear.

In the north of the city, the Xiao Zhang family's mansion has been extremely tense these days.

Because Xiao Zhang is a member of the White Tiger Hall and is sworn brothers with Qiu Hu.

He is an insider arranged by the White Tiger Hall in the government. The White Tiger Hall has been doing evil in Zhongzhou City for many years, causing countless people's resentment, but it has always stood firm. Firstly, it relies on its own people to play a role in the government, and secondly, it relies on bribing the entire government.

But now, an unreasonable person came, wielding a butcher knife and slashing at the White Tiger Hall.

Moreover, no one knows who the person behind the butcher knife is or what he looks like.

The more this happens, the more frightened everyone becomes.

Xiao Zhang is no exception. These days, he hardly leaves the house.

A thousand soldiers sent from the central camp had already been guarding his yard.

Tonight, he hid in his room, drank a lot of wine, and cursed his mother countless times in his heart.

"Someone is coming."

A centurion answered from outside the door, "Please give your orders, sir."

Xiao Zhang shouted, "Find me a girl."

The centurion hesitated and said, "Sir, the situation is tense right now, so you better be patient."

Xiao Zhang scolded: “Hold your mother, find one of the maids in my house and go find it yourself.”

The centurion saluted: "Yes, sir."

The centurion turned around and walked out to look for the maid.

After walking dozens of steps, he was looking around when he suddenly saw a light from the gaps between the trees.

He quickly parted the branches and saw a maid holding a lantern, walking slowly, not knowing where she was going.

The centurion hurried out from behind the tree and called to the maid, "Hey, stop."

The maid seemed startled. Her hand trembled, and the lantern fell to the ground and went out. "What is it, sir?"

The centurion ran forward and took a quick look at the maid in the dim night. "It's you. Your master needs you. Come with me."

The maid quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I won't go..."

The centurion drew his sword and said, "Are you looking for death? I told you to have fun, but you refused. Do you really want to die?"

The maid seemed frightened and shuddered: "I'll go..."

The centurion raised his sword and said, "Let's go."

After a while, the centurion brought the maid to Xiao Zhang's door and reported, "Sir, the maid is here."

Xiao Zhang shouted from inside the room, "Come in if you're here, stop talking nonsense."

The centurion hurriedly opened the door and said, "Come in."

The maid stepped silently and walked in.

The centurion quickly closed the door and stood guard outside.

In the room, when the maid entered, a gust of wind suddenly blew and blew out the lights.

Xiao Zhang cursed, "Damn it, where did this evil wind come from?"

He reached out and groped on the table, looking for a tinder.

In the darkness, the maid called him, "Sir, where are you?"

Xiao Zhang cursed: "I'm here..."

In the darkness, a sharp blade flew out of his hand silently.

Xiao Zhang covered his neck with his hands, terrified. He wanted to ask questions, but he couldn't utter a single word.

His throat was pierced by a dagger.

After a moment, he fell down limply.

With a "pop", the tinder was lit. Under the firelight, the maid reached out and pulled out the dagger from Xiao Zhang's throat.

Xiao Zhang struggled, trembled, and bled profusely.

The maid wiped the blood off the dagger on his body and put out the fire.

The house fell into darkness again.

Outside the door, the centurion waited for a while, but there was no sound of reveling inside, nor did he wait for the maid to leave.

It seemed that after the maid came in, Xiao Zhang cursed her twice and then there was no sound.

There shouldn't be no movement. How can Xiao Zhang find a girl without his lewd smile?

He felt more and more that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked outside the door: "Sir, what's wrong, sir..."

But there was no response from inside.

His hair stood on end. Could there be something wrong with that maid?

He was in panic when the door opened.

He looked quickly and saw that it was the maid who came out in the dim night.

He quickly asked, "How is the master?"

The maid did not answer him. With a flash of cold light, his throat was cut by the sharp blade.

He covered his neck in surprise and horror, and naturally understood in his heart that Lord Xiao Zhang must have been killed.

The murderer was not the so-called Zhang family boy, but a woman.

But he was powerless and could not tell anyone about this important discovery because he was also killed.

After killing the centurion, the maid left without looking back and quickly disappeared into the night.

Xiao Zhang was only her first target tonight. After completing the mission here, there were still other targets to kill.

On the second day, Zhongzhou City was once again in an uproar.

Last night, the number of White Tiger Hall members killed increased exponentially, with eight members dying in one night.

Among them was Xiao Zhang, the chief inspector of the governor's office.

Not only did Xiao Zhang die, but the centurion who was responsible for guarding him was also killed.

This incident not only made the people excited, but also shocked the government and the army.

The murderer's intention was very clear. He originally wanted to kill only the members of the White Tiger Hall. If you officials wanted to protect them, then I'm sorry, you can only kill them all together.

The deterrent effect was very obvious. Those soldiers who did not want to lose their lives fled back to their own camps. Even if they were whipped, they would not protect those hooligans in the eyes of the people.

Originally, they were ordered to stake out the homes of the White Tiger Hall members, and the people were already secretly cursing them, not to mention that they might lose their lives.

For a time, Zhongzhou City was in an uproar, with high winds and rough waves. The storm stirred up by this incident took a long time to calm down.
