C162 Beijing Blood Case (3)

Mu Ming sat alone in his room after he had the servants in the mansion deal with the black clothed man's corpse. He couldn't help but think about what just happened.

He, Mu Ming, had always considered himself to have committed crimes against others, and he didn't have many enemies in the martial arts world. So why would anyone want to kill him? Mu Ming suddenly thought of the blood case between the Xing Family and the Zou family. Could it be …

Within the Clear Jade Pavilion, Shangguan Qinger had only been back to the Clear Jade Pavilion for two days, and she had already been unable to stay any longer. She was worried about her Elder Brother Mu, so she planned to pack up her things.

"Miss, you have just returned and are leaving. When the Old Master and the Old Madam ask about it later, what should I say? " Shangguan Qinger's personal servant saw that her young miss had already planned to leave after only two days, and could not help but worry.

"Aiya, that's enough. As long as you say you don't know. "My parents love me the most, they won't blame me." Shangguan Qinger said.

"But, Miss …"

"Alright, stop talking. I'm leaving, don't follow me. " After Shangguan Qinger finished speaking, she took her things and prepared to leave.

"Where do you want to go?" Shangguan Yi's voice sounded.

"Big brother." Shangguan Qinger could not help but say in a spoiled manner. Qing Er has already been at home for a few days, big brother, Qing Er wants to return.

"Go back? "Go back to where you came from." Shangguan Yi pretended not to be happy, "This is your home, wherever you want to go, you are not allowed to go."

"Big brother ~"

"Watch the little miss and don't let her go anywhere. If the little miss is gone, then watch how I take care of you."

"Yes, Young Master, don't worry."

"Humph!" Looking at Shangguan Yi's leaving figure, Shangguan Qinger stomped his feet in dissatisfaction.

"Miss, don't be angry. Young Master did it for your own good."

Shangguan Qinger turned back and rolled her eyes at the servant girl, and with a bang, she closed the door, locking the little girl outside.

Shangguan Yi left Shangguan Qinger's courtyard.

This morning, the Jade Pavilion received a message from Mu Ming. Shangguan Yi opened it and took a look. The letter mentioned that there was an assassination attempt on the Mu palace last night, and it was probably related to the murder in the capital. Shangguan Yi must definitely keep Shangguan Qinger here, the capital was too dangerous, Mu Ming did not wish for her to come back and get hurt, so he hoped that Shangguan Yi would not tell him the truth, lest Shangguan Qinger worry.

"Humph, Mu Ming, you brat, this time you owe yourself a huge favor. This time, I've offended my own little sister to help you." Shangguan Yi could not help but curse in his heart.

On the morning of the next day, Mu Ming went to the military camp to look for Xuanyuan Zhan.

"My lord. This lowly general has something important to report. " Mu Ming said.

"Yesterday night, there was a black-clothed person that attempted to assassinate the Mu Estate. I suspect that this matter might have something to do with the case of the Xing Family and the Zou Clan."

After Xuanyuan Zhan heard Mu Ming's words, he was shocked in his heart, "Where is that person? Did you grab hold of him? "

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have indeed captured that thief. Unfortunately, that person seemed to be an assassin who had received professional training. When he saw that he was captured, he did not hesitate to take poison and commit suicide." Mu Ming told the truth about what happened yesterday night.

"First, it was the Xing Family and the Zou Clan. Now, they have extended their hands to the Mu Estate." Xuanyuan Zhan pondered silently.

"No, I have to go to Xing Family again." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"Your Highness, I will accompany you."

The two left the army camp and went to check on the Xing Family.

"Greetings His Majesty the Battle-King."

"This King wants to go in and take a look." After saying that, without waiting for the person to reply, Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming walked in.

"But Your Highness …" Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhan had already walked in, the attendant said helplessly, "This servant only wants to tell you that His Highness the crown prince is also here."

Just as Xuanyuan Zhan and Mu Ming entered the Xing Family, they found out that Xuanyuan Qingtian was also in the Xing Family.

"Oh? Third brother has so much to do every day. Why is third brother here to fight over such a small matter like investigating a case?"

Third brother doesn't mean that. It's just that third brother found it hard to investigate and in addition, third brother found nothing in the past few days so he didn't make any progress in handling the case. This inconvenience allowed him to think that since he is a citizen of the Xiao Kingdom, he should be helping royal father with his worries.

"Oh ~" Xuanyuan Qingtian said in disdain, "Then has Third Brother found any clues?"

Humph! He didn't believe that he had found any clues. He had searched for so many days, but he hadn't found anything. How could he have found any clues?

"Well, Third Brother did find a clue, but I wonder if Big Brother would be interested in listening to it." Xuanyuan Zhan intentionally said, secretly observing Xuanyuan Qingtian's expression.

What? How was it possible that he had found a clue?

Realizing that there was something wrong with Xuanyuan Qingtian's expression, Xuanyuan Zhan decided to delve deeper.

"On the day of the crime, Third Brother told Lei Yushandian to investigate the whereabouts of Master Xing and Master Zou two days ago. Unfortunately, these two Masters met with Big Brother two days before they died, right?" Xuanyuan Zhan probed.

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Qingtian opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "You are suspecting this prince?"

"The crown prince has misunderstood, how could third brother dare? I only voiced my doubts. I wanted to confirm it with you so that you wouldn't be misunderstood by others. "

"Hmph." What reason do I have to harm them? Furthermore, I do not even need to use such despicable means to harm them. With my power, I can give them a crime, so why would I need to do something that I would not even bother to do? "

Xuanyuan Qingtian heard Xuanyuan Zhan's tone that seemed to suspect his intentions and couldn't help but anxiously defend himself.

Xuanyuan Zhan had been secretly observing the crown prince's expression the entire time. He noticed that the crown prince had an anxious look on his face as if he was trying to defend himself, and thus did not have any other expressions. Furthermore, the crown prince was right, if he wanted to harm Lord Xing and Master Zou's family, with his identity, he could easily convict and convict them. From the looks of it, it wasn't made by the crown prince.

"The Crown Prince does not need to be so anxious. The His Majesty the Battle-King only felt suspicious and wanted to ask the Crown Prince about it. Your Highness, please do not misunderstand, we did not doubt you at all. It was just that His Majesty the Battle-King did not want the crown prince to be wronged, so he wanted to ask the crown prince about it. " Seeing the Crown Prince's expression, Mu Ming wanted to eat the His Majesty the Battle-King alive, so he quickly stepped out to smooth things over.

"Hmph, that would be for the best." The Crown Prince snorted coldly. He left in a very dissatisfied mood.

Looking at the crown prince's departure, Xuanyuan Zhan secretly thought, maybe it really isn't him?

Ever since the crown prince met Xuanyuan Zhan and returned to his residence, he had been feeling restless.

He could not help but recall the thing that Xuanyuan Zhan asked him today. What did he mean? Could he be suspecting me? The more Xuanyuan Qingtian thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He thought that he should immediately head to the palace to discuss it with the matriarch.

Inside the palace, In Yan Fei Palace.

"All of you, leave." Once he reached In Yan Fei Palace, the crown prince dismissed everyone.

"Tian Er, why are you in such a hurry to reach matriarch?" Seeing that his precious son had hurriedly come to find him, Yan Fei realized that something must have happened.

"matriarch, today, Xuanyuan Zhan came to find me. His words also revealed that he knew that I came to look for the two of them before the annihilation of the Xing and Zou Clans. Do you think he suspects that I killed them?" Xuanyuan Qingtian could not help but ask anxiously.

"What are you panicking for? It's not like you killed him." You don't have to be afraid. " She, the son of the Yan Fei, was even a stately Eastern Palace Prince. How could she be so timid?

"But matriarch, this son is afraid that Xuanyuan Zhan will take the opportunity to slander this son, and try to break this son from the position of Crown Prince." Xuanyuan Qingtian still voiced out the unease in his heart.

Yan Fei could not help but feel that Xuanyuan Qingtian's worries were not without reason. Hmph, Tian Er, don't worry, matriarch won't allow anyone to covet your position as the crown prince. Rest assured, Imperial Mother will definitely help you think of a way to deal with this matter. " The Yan Fei comforted his son. At the same time, he was secretly thinking about how he could help his son escape suspicion.

Within the city, Feng Yu had been strolling along the streets for the past two days with the three golden leaves. Today, someone finally came looking for Feng Yu.

"Young master, our master wishes to meet you. "Please meet in the room upstairs." A waiter whispered into Feng Yu's ear.

Feng Yu put down the cup of tea in her hand and glanced at the waiter. She opened her mouth and said, "Who is your master? Why did you want to see me? "

"Hur hur." The waiter smiled awkwardly, "My master said that you would like to see her." As the waiter said this, he glanced at the three golden leaves on the table and indicated to Feng Yu.

Feng Yu noticed the small hint from the waiter and immediately understood something. "Alright, then I'll go with you to meet your master."

"Alright. Guest, this way please." The waiter brought Feng Yu up to the private room on the second floor.

Inside the private room, Feng Yu saw Xi Leng.

"Pavilion Master, have you thought this through clearly? Have you decided to become the Pavilion Master of our Nine Nether Pavilion?"

When Feng Yu heard Xi Leng call him pavilion master, she could not help but feel a little disgusted. "I'm not your pavilion master."

"Then why did you place these three golden leaves at your waist? Xi Leng thought that the pavilion master had thought it through and wanted to take over the Nine Serenities Pavilion." Xi Leng said.

"Alright, Xi Leng. I, Feng Yiming, will not beat around the bush. The reason I'm looking for you today is actually to find you for help."

"Pavilion Master, please speak. What is the matter?"

"I need you to help me check if any strange people have come to the capital in these few days, or if any outsiders have come." I believe you should also know that a major event has occurred in the capital in the past two days. The Xing and Zou Families have been annihilated. Therefore, I want you to check if there have been any suspicious people in the capital these few days. There may be some clues. " Feng Yu also did not beat around the bush. He directly told her what he needed help with and had Xi Leng help her investigate.

"I am afraid that Xi Leng cannot help you with this matter." Xi Leng rejected her.

"Why? Doesn't your Nine Nether Pavilion have a lot of connections? It shouldn't be a problem for you to investigate such a small matter, right?" She could already sense that Xi Leng seemed to have intentions of making things difficult for her.

"It's not easy to say that the phoenix girl wanted me to help you, but it's also not that easy to say that it's easy." Xi Leng did not call her Pavilion Master anymore. However, other than the Pavilion Master, no one else has the right to investigate this matter. "Unless you are our pavilion master, and we help you, otherwise …" Xi Leng wanted to say something but hesitated.

Feng Yu couldn't help but fiercely roll her eyes at Xi Leng in her heart. What about only the pavilion master being able to do it, it was clear that she was doing it on purpose to make things difficult for him.

"We have many gracious invitations, but the phoenix girl has repeatedly rejected them, so Xi Leng was powerless to help. Since phoenix girl is not willing to take over Nine Nether Pavilion, then Xi Leng will not be able to help you out with the things that phoenix girl has requested of you. After all, Xi Leng is not able to gather so many people by herself for this matter, if the Elders Guild finds out, Xi Leng will definitely owe it to them. " Xi Leng said.
