Chapter 314: Rain falls on thousands of clouds

Last night, Zhuo Zhan, who had been sleeping very lightly, heard the same rustling sound as last time. As soon as he opened his eyes, without thinking, he got up, opened the door, and followed quietly again.

Up.

Zhuo Zhan hid in the bushes of the garden waterside pavilion and watched carefully.

Sure enough, it was the group of men in black again. However, this time, in addition to the tall man in black, there was another strong man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist.

This man's figure, temperament, speech and behavior all resembled the same person. Although it was dark at night and he couldn't see his face clearly, with these few details, Zhuo Zhan had already sketched out the outline of that person in his mind, it was Ji Jiu.

Zhuo Zhan looked at the group of men in black who were marching out with white blades in their hands, and let out a long sigh. He didn't know how many innocent lives would be victimized by these Rakshasa swords tonight.

After returning to the room, Zhuo Zhan was completely sleepless, almost closing his eyes and waiting for dawn.

However, at dawn, the bad news spread throughout Ji Mansion along with the rising sun.

The family of Mr. Mu Zheng Jiang Daoxiu, because they offended the caravan, all twenty-seven members of the family were beheaded last night. Even the old guard dog was not spared. The caravan criminals fled Huizhu Mountain overnight, and the king

Furious, the king's left wing battalion was sent out to pursue them.

This bad news was a devastating blow to Ji Jiu and Jiang Yue.

The moment he learned the bad news that his family was wiped out, Jiang Yue fainted. Ji Wuji ordered the best doctor in the royal city to go to Huizhu Mountain to perform acupuncture on Jiang Yue.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yue woke up, but it was as if his soul had been knocked out. His jade face was pale, his eyes were hollow, and he just kept crying secretly, with tears streaming down his face.

The originally lively and cheerful girl became sad, and this grief and sorrow multiplied, affecting everyone in the house, as if the sky today was covered with a layer of pale gray.

Seeing his beloved wife in such a sad state, Ji Jiu beat his chest and felt miserable. He really hoped that the person who died was not his father-in-law but himself. But if he died, his Yue'er would be so sad...

But if the father-in-law does not die, then the father...

Ji Jiu became more and more confused as he thought about it, and his head hurt so much that it was going to explode.

That square face no longer had the composure and calmness of the past. Sometimes it was white, sometimes purple, sometimes calm, sometimes distorted, sometimes manic.

Ji Jiu only felt that there were two powerful forces tearing him apart in his body. His soul, conscience, and pain seemed to be on the verge of being torn apart. The huge pain was like an evil ghost gnawing at every inch of his flesh and blood.

He couldn't live if he wanted to, and he couldn't die if he wanted to.

Seeing the petite wife being surrounded by Yao Yiyi, Chi Yan, Duan Yue, and Ji Ke, being comforted, persuaded, and taken care of, she was still grieving and bursting into tears. As a husband, I actually got up.

It had no effect. Ji Jiu really wanted to scratch herself with a knife, but apart from scaring her, what was the use?

So, while everyone was busy trying to enlighten Jiang Yue, Ji Jiu disappeared from the stone castle and was no longer seen.

Because of the spying last night, Zhuo Zhan paid special attention to Ji Jiu's every move today. When he found that Ji Jiu was missing, Zhuo Zhan immediately abandoned everyone and left the stone castle, starting to search in various courtyards.

However, after searching for half an hour, Zhuo Zhan didn't see Ji Jiu's figure. Could it be that he went out through the front door? Impossible. Zhuo Zhan clearly saw Ji Jiu's back disappearing from the back door. If he wanted to go out through the front door,

After going down the mountain, either go back to the stone castle again, or take a detour to the front yard. But Zhuo Zhan has been wandering between these two places, and except for Linglan who passed by twice, no one has appeared again.

Zhuo Zhan thought to himself, it would be great if Duan Yue was here. Using the Eye of the Netherworld, he would find Ji Jiu immediately. But Duan Yue was currently accompanying Jiang Yue with everyone, and he thought that Duan Yue was the absolute main force in this regard.

Moreover, calling Duan Yue out in front of so many people was too obvious. Before he was sure of his terrible idea, he did not intend to alarm anyone.

The sun climbed up to the zenith, getting hotter and hotter. Sweat flowed down Zhuo Zhan's cheeks to his chin, and his mood became more and more anxious with the slowly evaporating heat.

In desperation, Zhuo Zhan had no choice but to go to the tallest paper tree in the garden, climb to the top of the tree again, overlooking the entire Ji Mansion, hoping to find Ji Jiu's figure.

Looking around, Zhuo Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up and he finally spotted Ji Jiu by a small pond behind the stone hut.

Sliding down the tree, walking through the garden, and bypassing the stone hut, Zhuo Zhan took a deep breath and walked towards that lonely broad figure with heavy steps.

Hearing the footsteps, his broad shoulders stopped shaking, his big rough hands wiped his face vigorously, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Come to see my joke?"

"Zhuo Zhan has no such intention. Besides, why should I laugh at you?"

Ji Jiu smiled coldly and looked up into the distance: "I can't even take care of my own wife. I'm really useless."

"You are quite useless." Zhuo Zhan's voice suddenly became serious, and he asked loudly: "You don't even dare to resist your father's ridiculous killing, how can you be a real man?"

Ji Jiu was stunned for a moment, turned around numbly, opened his eyes wide, and asked with a hint of anger: "Did you eavesdrop on our conversation yesterday?"

Zhuo Zhan shook his head, smiled, and said coldly: "I'm not that boring."

"Then how did you know?"

"The man in black who walked through Ji's house in the middle of the night didn't even bother to hide it, so why should he blame others for seeing it?" Zhuo Zhan said bluntly.

Ji Jiu's lifted heart returned to his stomach, and his frozen expression gradually melted. It's okay, okay, Zhuo Zhan was referring to the things about blunt knives.

Seeing Ji Jiu's relaxed expression, Zhuo Zhan frowned slightly and smiled scornfully: "It turns out that Young Master Ji doesn't feel the least bit guilty about killing his wife and family. Fortunately, I saw you look like that just now.

, I still feel sorry for you. People like you are really not worthy of pity."

There was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and thunder exploded in Ji Jiu's heart. He stood up and looked at Zhuo Zhan in astonishment: "What did you say? Why are you...impossible...impossible..."

Zhuo Zhan stared at the panicked face, sighed softly, and said in deep thought: "Although I have already understood the dirty deeds of your father and son and the existence of those killers, last night, you unexpectedly appeared there.

Among the gang of men in black. Mr. Jiang’s family was killed just after midnight last night.

Calculating the time, it fits perfectly. If I don’t associate this killing with you, I can’t think of anyone else who would do such a thing. Caravan? That’s really nice to say. Sangyu Country is so lively during the day, and there are caravans.

Will the officers and soldiers guarding the city not notice if they lurk in? The answer is that the person taking the lead must have a government background.

Also, when the bad news came this morning, a cold-blooded animal like you could be so sad. Based on your actions last night, I knew without guessing that it was you who led the murder of Mr. Jiang and his family. You cry

, It’s not because you are sad about Master Jiang’s death, but because you feel sorry for your wife.”

Zhuo Zhan's words pierced Ji Jiu's heart. His body swayed slightly and his eyelids trembled slightly. When he thought of his wife, he was once again flooded with guilt.

Ji Jiu lowered his head and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he said indifferently: "Besides you, how many people know?"
