Chapter One And Thirty-One
"Master Zhong, what happened in Zhongfu, Zhongfu must give an explanation."
"The lady's residence is only known to the people in the Zhongfu. It is very likely that the inside and the outside are cooperating to covet the lady's resources and kill people."
"But there are a lot of ancestors, as long as you hand over the murderer, let this matter go, and I will go back home immediately."
Liu Chengyang came up with three sentences like this, with a stern face and a serious tone.
The faces of the family members of the Zhong family in the hall changed drastically, Han Jiuping's eyes flickered, and Pei Nanjin, who had just entered, frowned slightly.
Gongsun Nuannuan pursed her lips and said in dissatisfaction: "Aren't you bullying people? Oh, if someone dies in the Zhongfu, it is the Zhongfu's responsibility? Then this is Qingyang, so is the royal family of Yan Kingdom also responsible? The Shen family is so majestic!"
Liu Chengyang said lightly: "This is what the ancestors meant."
Zhong Yan looked at him, saw the relaxed look on his brows, and gave him a meaningful look, and he felt amused, because he just wanted to save face.
But he frowned and said: "The one who knows Miss Lan Xin's residence is probably someone from Zhizhong House? As far as Zhong knows, there are fifteen guards in your escort, why don't you see the other four?"
Liu Chengyang said lightly: "I've arranged for them to do other things. The Shen family has strict rules, so Master Zhong doesn't have to doubt it."
With a cold face, Zhong Yan said in silence for a moment: "After seven days, I will hand over the murderer to you!"
"That's best."
Liu Chengyang cupped his hands and led Xiaotao and others away.
Yu Qingyao hurriedly said: "Husband, how do you hand over the murderer in three days?"
A group of family members joined in.
Zhong Yan smiled disapprovingly, glanced at Pei Nanjin, and said to Han Jiuping and Zhang Dongzhuo: "The two brothers are busy with business, so I will go back to Fangshi first, and I can take care of it here."
At the same time, he secretly communicated with the two of them and got a positive reply.
"Shangwen, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yes, uncle!"
The two went to the City Lord's Mansion. In addition to clearly stating that the cooperation will not end no matter where they go, Zhong Yan also gave Qin Ben all the talismans used by mortals in the storage bag-a total of 122 pieces, plus a Hundreds of spirit stones.
that day.
Martial law in Azure Sun City.
The city lord's mansion issued a notice, and the guards at the four city gates conducted a thorough investigation of the people leaving the city, saying that they would arrest the bandits.
Qin Ben also transferred 10,000 soldiers from the garrison academy to search the whole city, almost door to door.
In addition, Zhong Yan promised the monks of the Keqing Mansion to help each other with two spirit stones.
There was a commotion in the whole city, and there was an uproar, and it was said that a stabbing sword was hanging from the head of Zhongfu, and disaster was imminent.
Yang Yanqing of Yang Fu said with emotion: "Fortune is where misfortune depends!"
His Taoist companion glanced at her husband's face, and curled her lips inwardly, "Didn't you do the same back then, and almost ruined your family.
Among the guests, Liu Zhengchun looked calm, but he sighed deeply in his heart.
In the city lord's mansion, Zhang Shun said suspiciously: "Such a big commotion is actually very difficult to have any effect, and I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd."
Qin Ben snorted and said with a laugh: "Who knows, Zhong Yan is full of tricks, so he should be able to solve this matter."
As for the Zhong Mansion, all the monks who came to recruit the house guest ministers all cursed bad luck, voices of opposition came out frequently, and they made appointments to leave one after another.
Zhong Yan sat on the head, his face was ugly, but he 'had to' agree, especially if Qi Refining was below the sixth floor, there was no reason to force him to stay.
In the end, even Wu Yang and several fake guests came together.
"I'm sorry Master Zhong, I'm at the bottom of my cultivation base, I'm afraid I'll spoil the master's important affairs, please do it well, and return all the spirit stones I paid earlier."
Wu Yang made a sound, and everyone bowed their hands together.
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Everyone has his own aspirations, and the Zhong House is free to come and go."
Wu Yang and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They could see the displeasure on Zhong Yan's brow, but they had to do so. If they implicated themselves, they would regret it, and they could not afford to offend the Foundation Building family.
At this time, Gu Baiyu tricked Chen Wanmiao over.
"Master Zhong, little sister..."
Words come out.
Zhong Yan probed his hand, and the Void Monument was in the air, and it was instantly pressed down.
Chen Wanmiao was slapped flat on the ground, bleeding all over her body, bloody and bloody.
"Who in my Zhongfu can come and leave whenever he wants?!"
The cold voice spread throughout the hall, buzzing in everyone's minds.
The members of the Zhong family all bowed their heads, not daring to show their breath, and the servant girls knelt down on the ground.
Wu Yang and the others' faces changed drastically, their bodies stiffened, and after glancing at the corpses on the ground, they were ready.
Even Gu Baiyu, who had been confessed a long time ago, had a pretty face pale and his eyelids twitched wildly. He didn't expect Zhong Yan to kill his personality on the spot.
Gongsun Nuannuan shrank her neck when she saw such a miserable situation for the first time, and couldn't help sending a voice transmission to Pei Nanjin: "It turns out that the uncle is so fierce..."
Zhong Yan looked around the hall, and said calmly: "I thought she was just thinking too highly of herself, going in and out of the various courtyards in the mansion at will, but in fact she was harboring evil intentions, secretly colluding with outsiders to seek wealth and murder, three swords, tell Liu Huwei, and the real culprit will be caught in a short time. "
Yan Sandao: "Yes."
Zhong Yan looked at Dongcao, and said in a cold voice: "You are not strict in discipline, and you are responsible for negligence, Yuning, hand over that maidservant to the Shen family."
Zhou Yuning: "Yes!"
Dongcao hurriedly knelt down, her body tensed: "Forgive me, master! I will definitely discipline you strictly in the future!"
Zhong Yan looked at Jiang Ping: "And you, how long has it been, why haven't the family rules been drawn up yet!"
Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment, met her husband's cold gaze, and felt her heart tighten. She knelt down for the first time after Yan Sandao entered the mansion, and said in a trembling voice: "Concubine, I know I was wrong... I will give the master a satisfactory as soon as possible." Answer sheet!"
She never imagined that her husband would take it out on her when he got angry, and felt extremely wronged.
Zhong Yan snorted coldly, and turned his gaze back to Wu Yang and the others.
Wu Yang regained his senses, took a breath, clasped his fists and said, "Master Zhong..."
Zhong Yan changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and interrupted with a smile: "Zhong Yan said a lot, this matter has nothing to do with you, feel free to leave."
The six guests looked at each other, bowed their hands again, and hurriedly retreated out of the hall.
"It's all gone."
Zhong Yan got up, smiled at Pei Nanjin and said, "Sorry, I have something to attend to, so I can't entertain you", then called Gu Baiyu, Yang Liuer and Xiao Xuening to the side hall.
Yang Liuer really seized the opportunity, and stepped forward to look at Jiang Ping who was kneeling on the ground, just in time to meet his raised eyes, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, making Jiang Ping clenched his fists.
The side hall of the first courtyard.
Zhong Yan took the teacup from Zhong Xiaozhong's hand, took a leisurely sip, and looked at Gu Baiyu.
Gu Baiyu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master Qi, the matter is urgent, and I'm sure Chen Wanmiao is not prepared for it."
Zhong Yan nodded and said: "You go and look after the person, if there is no change in this matter, then deal with it."
"yes!"
Gu Baiyu left in a hurry, and the person to be detained was naturally the guard of the Shen family 'Ge Qing', who was controlled in Yu Qingyao's original practice room in the small courtyard.
Zhong Yan looked at the restless Xiao Xuening again, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Xuening, I heard that you are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Especially painting is quite high, so it's no problem to draw portraits?"
"Back to Uncle, I know a thing or two about myself, and I can draw a portrait of a real person."
"Shen Lanxin's maid named Xiaotao, have you met before? How long will it take to draw three pictures and give them to Liu'er?"
Xiao Xuening pondered for a moment, then carefully said: "It takes half an hour, and I will definitely be able to draw well!"
"Just draw it here."
"Yes, uncle!"
Zhong Xiaozhong immediately prepared pens and paper for him.
Zhong Yan said to Yang Liuer: "In a while, you will take the portrait to identify the death guard, guard at the west gate, if you see someone follow, find a remote place outside the city and kill them, remember not to leave any traces."
"Yes, don't worry, uncle."
Yang Liuer paused and asked, "Is she alone? Will it arouse suspicion?"
"Won't."
