C2406 Five Cadavers
Faced with Jiang Ting's opportunity to explain, Old Jiang quickly opened his mouth and tried to explain. However, no one knew how his old body managed to last for a long period of time.
When Jiang Ting heard this, he instantly frowned... This was because what the old man said was right. Although he was not a good person, he had never thought of him as a villain. There was no reason for him to not allow any servants to take leave.
From the looks of it …
As if he knew what Old Jiang was thinking, he carefully considered his words and opened his mouth, "As long as they didn't run away and just disappeared for a day or two, I wouldn't care, I wouldn't want them to disturb your training. When they didn't appear earlier, I just thought they had something to delay …"
Jiang Ting slightly waved his hand: "No next time."
He didn't want to listen. Old Jiang couldn't blame him for following his actions, and since that was the case, he couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter.
Old Jiang kept kowtowing as his face brimmed with joy. "Thank you, old master, for your magnanimity …"
Perhaps, only those who had lived a lowly life for a long time would be able to understand how happy the heart of this old man was at this moment.
At this moment, it became silent. Jiang Ting didn't say anything, so no one dared to speak up again.
… ….
About half an incense stick of time later.
"Huff, huff …" Following the sound of breaking air, the bell chime carried an ugly expression as it entered the courtyard.
Jiang Ting looked up and did not say a word.
"Master, all three of them have become desiccated corpses."
Pausing, the face of the bell became even more unsightly. "The brothers also found other corpses. There were five corpses in a row. However, the other corpses all died in a remote place because there was no smell of corpses anymore. So far, they have not been found."
"Five... Has no one patrolled my Jiang manor? Jiang Ting instantly stood up and revealed a bright smile at the corner of his mouth. His questioning voice was also smiling and he didn't seem to be angry at all.
There were a total of five people who had died in the Jiang manor. If the maid hadn't discovered one of them tonight, who knew how many would have died!
Zhong Ming hurriedly replied, "Old master, we haven't noticed anything amiss recently."
"Five..."
After a pause, Jiang Ting waved his hand: "Go bury him. I would like to see who did it!"
Jiang Ting didn't pursue the matter... After all, he didn't notice anything amiss with himself.
The bell instantly let out a breath, and at the same time, a servant approached and left with the corpse.
And then Jiang Ting said: "Go down, we'll patrol heavily these few days …" "Old Jiang, I don't want to see tonight's situation after counting the number of people every day!"
"But …" Old Jiang, Zhong Ming and the other servants all left one by one, and the garden became quiet again.
Jiang Tingze slowly looked at the silver moon in the sky: "Interesting... "No matter who it is, let me see. Where do you get the confidence to provoke me?"
He didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he would be indifferent when trouble came knocking!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ting leaped out of the courtyard. With a few jumps, he arrived at the main hall in the center of the mansion.
However, he did not enter the main hall. Instead, he jumped straight to the roof of the hall and stood silently on the roof … Although there was only one floor to the great hall, it was the tallest building in the Jiang manor due to its special nature.
Jiang Ting stood on the roof of the hall. Although he couldn't see all the corners of the hall, he could still see most of the Jiang manor with his naked eyes, and with the addition of the bell and the guards who were still patrolling, the people who attacked would be able to conceal themselves.
The night passed in silence.
… ….0
The next day, in the early hours of the morning.
The night watchman's bell rang, "Master, our movements were too big yesterday. I'm afraid the thief who attacked us was too scared to do anything."
Jiang Ting glanced at the Jiang manor again and waved his hand, "You and the other guards have worked hard tonight. You can go and rest now."
"Only." Zhong Ming relaxed slightly. He was really worried that Jiang Ting would ignore everything and keep him and the other guards patrolling day and night. If that was really the case, even a demigod would not be able to withstand it.
Just as Zhong Ming left, the old man approached again, saying, "Master, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll tell the chef to prepare it."
"Eat breakfast and cook a bowl of porridge." Jiang Ting replied without changing his expression.
Perhaps it was because of the strangeness of the world … Logically speaking, level one Deities didn't need to eat anything anymore. But here, as long as they didn't enter the ninth heaven, they would need to eat to replenish their body's energy. However, relatively speaking, they were a bit more resistant to hunger.
Although Jiang Ting didn't need to eat, in order to avoid any flaws, he never stopped eating two meals a day. After dawn, he would eat one meal at noon and one meal in the evening.
Old Jiang also left.
Jiang Tingze was still standing on the roof of the hall silently... He did not lower his guard, nor did he think that the person who attacked him would be able to hide from him.
Even if he hadn't been prepared before, he might have been able to hide the possibility of him committing murder in the Jiang manor and even killed five people … If they were careless, it was possible that someone else would die in the next moment!
Very soon, Old Jiang brought the hot porridge over. Jiang Ting stood quietly on the roof and drank it. His gaze swept over the Jiang manor, and he could see many maids and servants walking through the manor.
"You scared me to death! Did you see the corpses that those guards carried out last night? They were so miserable! All the blood in my body was sucked dry! I don't know where those demons came from."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The lord has already said that no demon can enter the stronghold, not to mention there is an old master in charge. How could a demon dare to enter the Jiang manor? Someone is obviously pretending to be a demon."
"How could that be? You didn't see my sweetheart last night, so you dared to go take a look. The corpses of Da Chun and Little Ding didn't have any wounds on them, yet their blood was sucked dry. That must be demons."
"Lower your voice. Even though the old master is kind, do you dare to deny the old master's deduction? Do you not want to live anymore?"
As the two maids discussed amongst themselves, words like these could be heard everywhere in the Jiang manor.
Jiang Ting stood on the roof and frowned. Then, he quickly dispersed … The demons and monsters of this world would only be able to take human form in the end.
The demon that couldn't take human form, didn't have the guts to enter the stronghold … Of course, he wasn't so narrow-minded that he wouldn't even allow the servants to discuss among themselves.
At this moment, he was scanning through it and thinking, who would do it?
After all, he had never stepped out of his house ever since he'd come to the stronghold to buy the Jiang manor.
If it wasn't for his hatred, perhaps he could only have helped the Ding Family's convoy to force back the robbers.
Thinking about that, Jiang Ting's eyes narrowed: "The people behind those robbers did it?"
If not for this incident, he would have forgotten about the previous incident. Now that he thought about it … Did she think he was easy to bully? Looks like it isn't good to keep a low profile!
