C163 Beijing Blood Case (4)

"What trouble? Clearly, you are unwilling to help." Feng Yu could not help but criticise silently in her heart, and she rolled her eyes at Xi Leng.

To be honest, Xi Leng was shocked when she saw Feng Yu rolling her eyes at him.

"Cough, cough, cough …" Xi Leng organized her emotions. Oh right, since phoenix girl is unwilling to become our Nine Nether Pavilion's Pavilion Master, then I hope that you can return our Nine Nether Pavilion's keepsake with three golden leaves. " Xi Leng said as she reached out her hands to gesture towards Feng Yu.

[I am just speechless. Is there any reason to take back the things I gave others?] Feng Yu said angrily. I'll give it back to you.

Feng Yu took the three golden leaves from her waist. Before Xi Leng could even get her hands on it, it had already been taken back by Feng Yu.

"phoenix girl, what are you doing?"

"You mean that if you don't want to do it, your Nine Nether Pavilion's pavilion master will have to return this item. If you agree to become the pavilion master of your Nine Nether Pavilion, then you will not need to return this item? " Feng Yu asked.

"This... It's like this. " Xi Leng didn't understand why Feng Yu would ask such a question, so she could only tell him the truth.

Hearing Xi Leng's words, Feng Yu took back the three golden leaves in her hands without a second word, and once again placed the three golden leaves on her waist.

It was you who insisted on me being your Nine Nether Pavilion's Pavilion Master. I'm not begging you guys, why should I return it to you when you tell me to? Feng Yu thought to herself. Moreover, having a pavilion master from the Nine Nether Pavilion to be one of his subordinates seemed to be quite good. He could also have a large group of people listen to his tasks and things would be much more convenient in the aftermath. Why should he refuse?

"What about these three golden leaves? They were originally obtained by me, so why should I have to return them when you said they were yours?"

"This …" For a moment, Xi Leng was speechless because of Feng Yu.

"What about these three golden leaves? I won't return them anyway." I'll be the one in front of you, the pavilion master of the Nine Nether Pavilion. If I ask you to help me investigate something, you'll have to help me continue investigating it as well. "

Xi Leng was taken aback by Feng Yu's words, and only regained her senses after a long while. She couldn't help but be startled.

"You mean, you're willing, willing to be our Pavilion Master." Xi Leng had a face full of disbelief.

"Yes." Feng Yu nodded.

"This subordinate pays his respect to Pavilion Master." Xi Leng was too happy, and quickly bowed and said.

"Okay, okay. I don't have that many rules, so you don't have to pay your respects to me. " Feng Yu said, "Alright, help me investigate what I told you to do. If you have any information, come over immediately and report it to me."

"Yes, Pavilion Master is relieved. This subordinate will instruct them to do so. "

"Go, go." Feng Yu urged. I still have things to do, so I'll be returning to Battle King Manor first. If you discover anything, you can bring this jade pendant to Battle King Manor to find me. " As she spoke, Feng Yu casually took out the jade pendant she always carried on her body and placed it in Xi Leng's hands.

After leaving the restaurant, Feng Yu returned to Battle King Manor and discovered that Xuanyuan Zhan had not returned yet.

After Xuanyuan Qingtian left, Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming entered the Xing Family to have a look. They did not find anything wrong with the place, it was as if it was the Zou family's crime scene.

"Your Highness." Mu Ming seemed to have suddenly recalled something. Did you go and see if there were any traces left on the bodies of those who were killed? "

Xuanyuan Zhan suddenly remembered that when he went to the Zou family the last time, although he went to the Spirit Hall to see the Zou family, he only paid his respects for a bit and did not notice the wounds on his body.

"Let's go to the morgue and take a look."

Mu Ming followed Xuanyuan Zhan to the temporary place set up by the Xing Family to store the corpses.

As soon as they entered the morgue, a pungent smell immediately assaulted their nostrils. Although it was already winter, the corpse would still smell after staying in the morgue for a long time.

Although the smell was unpleasant, the two of them still went in.

"Your Highness, let's split up and look. There are so many dead people here, so it will definitely take a long time to look at them one by one." Mu Ming said.

Mu Ming and Xuanyuan Zhan started to look around separately. There were a total of two hundred people in Xing Family, and with so many people here, it would obviously be impossible to put all of them in a single room.

Xuanyuan Zhan carefully checked them one by one, not missing out on even a small detail, and had the people carefully inspect their wounds. He discovered that the way these people died was no different from what he saw in the Zou Clan that day. They were all killed with a single slash, and their techniques were very nimble. With a single strike, these people died without even having a chance to breathe.

Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but feel pity for these innocent lives. But at the same time, he couldn't help but admire the group of assassins' training.

The sky seemed to gradually turn dark, but the two of them still didn't find anything. After he finished inspecting this room, Xuanyuan Zhan thought that he had not looked carefully at the wounds on the Xing Family and Zou Clan's patriarchs' bodies.

Xuanyuan Zhan walked into the spirit hall of the Xing Family and saw everyone from the Xing Family. The way the Xing Family's wife, concubine, and children died was no different from the way the people died. They were all killed by a blade, but Xuanyuan Zhan did not see the corpse of Master Xing in the mourning hall.

Mu Ming naturally thought of this too and rushed to the Xing Family's mourning hall, only to find that Xuanyuan Zhan was already there.

Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at Mu Ming, "Have you thought of it as well?"

Mu Ming nodded and began searching.

"There's no need to look for him. This King has already looked over. There has been no sign of Lord Xing's corpse for the past few years." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"What?" How is that possible? " Mu Ming was in disbelief. The corpses of others in the Xing Family were still there, but why was there only one missing: the Lord Xing's corpse.

Mu Ming followed Xuanyuan Zhan out of the few rooms. He found the subordinate in charge of the Xing Family.

"I ask you, why is it that I did not see the corpse of Lord Xing in the spirit hall of Xing Family?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

"Reporting to Your Royal Highness, the Emperor said that Lord Xing and Lord Zou are the most important officials in the court. How could the corpses be placed together with the corpses of the servants? So we had the servants place the corpses of the two Lords in the underground ice cellar of the Hall of Punishment."

"You mean to say that Lord Zou's corpse is also there." Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming looked at each other and said.

"Yes."

The two of them immediately left Xing Family and did not linger. They went to the Hall of Punishment without stopping.

"I wonder why Your Highness and the General Mu are here?" When he heard that Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming had come to the Hall of Punishment, the Head Supervisor of the Hall of Punishment immediately came out to welcome them.

"Oh, this king heard that the corpses of Lord Xing and Lord Zou were placed in the underground ice cellar of the Hall of Punishment, so this king wanted to come take a look." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"This …" That chief executive seemed to be in a bit of a predicament.

"Why? Why not?" Xuanyuan Zhan's voice did not have a trace of warmth as he asked the supervisor.

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's cold voice, the manager couldn't help but tremble, as if he was scared by the dignity of the Battle-King.

"No, no." The supervisor said, "It's just that His Majesty said that the deceased should be the leader, so do not disturb the two lords' rest. Prince, it's not good for you to suddenly barge in like this."

"This king and General Mu admire the two lords' integrity. He was loyal and upright. He had wanted to go to the mourning hall and pay his respects. Who knew that the two lords were not here? That was why he wanted to come and pay his respects to the two lords himself. If anything happens, This King will bear the consequences. Bring me there quickly. " Xuanyuan Zhan said.

Although Mu Ming, who had been standing by the side the entire time didn't say anything, he was able to see that there was something off about this Chief Supervisor. Furthermore, every time Xuanyuan Zhan asked him a question, he would always unconsciously wipe his sweat.

The supervisor had no choice, but to let Xuanyuan Zhan in due to his status as a prince.

Xuanyuan Zhan naturally discovered that the supervisor was strange, so when the supervisor tried to find all sorts of excuses to not let them in, Xuanyuan Zhan viciously told him that they had to come in today.

The supervisor brought Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming to the underground ice cellar where Lord Xing and Lord Zou's corpse was kept. He followed behind the two of them as if he had no intention of leaving.

"What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you going out?" Mu Ming said.

"This …"

When this king and General Mu pay their respects to the two lords, I do not wish to be disturbed. Xuanyuan Zhan roared.

"Yes, yes."

Only now did he finally chase away that annoying Head Supervisor.

Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming looked at each other, then took off the white cloth covering Master Zou's corpse. They discovered that although Lord Xing and Lord Zou all had knife wounds on their bodies, they did not have the most fatal wounds. The two of them clearly had a small hidden wound on their body, although it was not obvious, but Xuanyuan Zhan had still discovered it.

Those two wounds seemed to have been caused by a very small thing. Such a small wound should be something similar to an embroidery needle.

It was also clear that the fatal wounds were caused by these two wounds. This meant that the two of them had already been killed before the Xing Family had anything to do with the Zou Clan.

After that, the two of them covered the two of them with white cloths, gave the two of them an incense stick, and left.

Outside the icehouse, the supervisor had been waiting. Seeing Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming coming out, he immediately went up to them with a smile.

"Your Highness, you came out with the General Mu. "How about it?"

Xuanyuan Zhan's face sank, and roared: What do you mean, what do you think? This king just has a lot of General Mu s in and have them burn incense to worship the souls of the two lords. What do you want this king to do? "

"No no no, this lowly official said the wrong thing. This official's intention is to ask if you, Prince, have sacrificed yourself in front of the General Mu. "

"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhan didn't say much and only indifferently replied. Alright, This King's two lords have finished paying their respects. It's getting late, so This King will be returning to my residence. " Saying that, he took Mu Ming away from the Hall of Punishment without looking back.

It was night.

Within an inn in Chang An City.

He saw the head supervisor of the Hall of Punishment sneaking into an inn. After looking around, he saw that there was no one around, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

In the guest room in the inn, other than buying the head of the Hall of Punishment, there was a man in black who couldn't see her face. Her face was covered by a bamboo hat.

"Bastard, I'll let you have a good look at those two corpses. How can you let them see you?" The voice seemed to belong to a woman.

"Master, please calm your anger." The leader kneeled on the ground and said, "According to this subordinate's observation, although the Battle King went in with that brat Mu Ming, they didn't seem to find the cause of death on those two."

"Humph!" Best of all. Otherwise, just you wait. "

"Yes!" "Yes!" He saw that the supervisor had a look of fear and trepidation on his face, as if he was very afraid of this woman.

"Alright, you can go now. If there's anything I can do for you. "Remember, keep an eye on them. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

With that, he saw the supervisor scrambling out of the room, as if he would be in danger if he stayed any longer.
