155 Accidental Death
"Damn it"
On the Dongcheng Gate Tower, when Li Hao saw the scene on the sea, he shook his expression and his face turned pale in an instant.
The manager and the rest of the martial lords were a little panicked and at a loss for a moment. He was sent to assassinate a black-faced Chu Hailiang in the early stage of the martial lord. He actually died by himself. What's going on
Could it be that Pan Yun and his team took action?
Blatantly oppose him
Li Hao thought it was not good, so he immediately left the viewing room and rushed to the first floor of the East City Gate Tower to go to the banquet of the adults.
In the hall on the first floor of Dongchengmen, the adults were also alarmed by the sudden situation on the sea. They were talking and sent a few people to check the situation.
Rafting can be very risky and occasionally people will die, but it is unclear if you cannot die.
"My father, someone died at sea. I'll go over and see what the situation is."
Li Hao strode forward to the banquet and volunteered.
He had to investigate this emergency in person. If someone was sent to investigate and involved Li Jin and others, he would fall into a passive position.
"Well, you're here just in time. Go and check it carefully. This rafting will be the most important event in my Donglai City. No one can die inexplicably."
Princess Donglai Li Zhouying, sitting in the middle of the banquet, was obviously very unhappy with the death. She looked deep and nodded.
He was a little bored to see the boating meeting tonight, but he didn't expect another martial master to die, which made him very unhappy.
Most of the martial masters at the boating meeting had their own origins. Chu Hailiang was from the Donglai Chu family. Although the Chu family is not the Donglai clan, it is also a troublesome to make trouble. If you don’t find out clearly and give an explanation to the Chu family, it will definitely cause more storms.
Li Hao received the order and was about to set off.
"Slow down"
Pan Dahai took a big sip of wine and said to a young general behind him. "Pan Zi, go with Li Hao and help the young princess find out the matter. If Chu Hailiang was killed by someone, he could not let the real murderer go, nor could he wrongly accuse anyone of them."
His face was bold and rough, but his heart was not rough at all. His son Pan Yun was just now in the black fog, and if he was framed by Li Hao, he would be unable to explain it clearly. He must send someone to see it clearly.
"yes"
The young deputy general understood it. He was also a member of the Pan clan, a young general of the Zhenhai Army led by Pan Dahai himself, and was deeply trusted by Pan Dahai.
It doesn't matter how Chu Hailiang died, but it's enough that it can't be involved in the young master Pan Yun.
President Cao Hao pondered for a moment, and called a vice president and followed Pan Lihao and Pan Zi to check the situation. If Li and Pan had a dispute, his people could also mediate it.
On the sea six or seven miles off the coast, all the martial masters who participated in the rafting meeting stayed near Chu Hailiang, looking at his corpse floating on the sea. They looked shocked.
Although the annual rafting event is dangerous, for those of the top genius martial masters, they rarely lose their lives unless someone deliberately kills people.
Just now, someone must have killed Chu Hailiang.
As for who it is, it is hard to say.
Pan Yun's team and Li Jin's team's seventeen or eighteen martial masters stayed in place and did not leave without permission until their suspicion was cleared.
The other fifty or sixty martial masters did not leave. They were around, waiting to see a good show. This accident is likely to cause a conflict between Li and Pan.
Three light boats set out from the East City Gate and quickly rushed to the sea where they were, tracing the whole story of the accident.
Li Hao walked around Chu Hailiang on a light boat, looked at the scars on Chu Hailiang's body, and frowned slightly.
He quickly looked up and his sharp eyes swept across the seventeen or eighteen martial masters on the surrounding sea.
Chu Hailiang died. It must have been not done by Li Jin's team. He did not give orders, and Li Jin did not dare to do this.
The suspicious eyes fell on Ye Fan, and stopped for a while, but quickly moved away.
Ye Fan was a little suspicious. But the possibility of him being able to kill Chu Hailiang was slim. If it were reported that Ye Fan killed Chu Hailiang, I guess the adults would not believe it.
Li Hao finally looked at Pan Yun, and the biggest suspicion was a group of people from Pan Yun's team.
"Whoever kills himself stands up, the county government can still be punished if it is found out, it will be severely punished."
Li Hao carried his hands on his back and said coldly.
"The injuries on Chu Hailiang's body are so obvious, you can see clearly at a glance. The young princess also asked more questions about the suspects here. Just just say who did it."
Pan Yun held a golden dragon mysterious spear, but he said sarcastically.
Li Hao suddenly stopped and his face was embarrassed. If he knew who did it, he would have to ask if Chu Hailiang was injured obviously, but he didn't know who took the action.
Pan Yun, the second-ranked leader in Donglai, did not accept him, so of course he fell into Pan Yun.
The young general Pan Zi immediately stepped forward to check Chu Hailiang's injuries and said, "Chu Hailiang's scars are very obvious, with two injuries. The first one was the powerful thunder pillar critical strike, shattering his protective flame armor. The second one was that his throat was shattered by gravity and he died on the spot.
The cause of death is clear and there is no doubt. The person who attacked this time was obviously a late-stage master of the Wu Zun realm who majored in the thunder system, so he could kill Chu Hailiang 2. Who is present in the thunder system or has thunder system bloodline?
He turned his head and asked Pan Yun.
"In my team, no one majored in the thunder system, everyone knows the bottom line. Who is strong? I still don't know who is strong. However, there are only one or two who are not majored in the thunder system. But they can't launch such a powerful thunder system attack, shattering the flame armor with one move."
Pan Yun immediately denied it.
"If this is the case, then your team will eliminate the suspicion. The person who killed Chu Hailiang should be someone else."
Pan Zi said lightly, not saying anything more.
The task he sent by General Pan was to help Pan Yun's team clear his suspicion, and there was no need to intervene too much in the rest.
"Hmph, it's not you, nor are it done by Li Jin's team. Who else can do it? Is it unreasonable to say that Chu Hailiang died for no reason?"
Li Hao said coldly in a deep voice.
He really wanted to kill Ye Fan, but if he put the blame for Chu Hailiang's death on Ye Fan, a person who had just entered the realm of Martial Master, would definitely not agree. Instead, he would think that he was deliberately framed Ye Fan.
Everyone couldn't help but feel silent.
Chu Hailiang died so strangely. So many of them gathered here, but they could not find a murderer.
How did they meet the adults at the East City Gate? There are also people from the Chu clan. The people in the city cannot tell the cause of death that they are unknown. No murderer can be found.
Suddenly, a clear voice came and said, "I vaguely saw a Thunder Eel Beast Lord under the sea. Its thick thunder pillar was shook and hit Chu Hailiang. It was mostly hitting his throat. Then it saw all the martial masters rushing over, frightened and disappeared."
Everyone couldn't help but look at the speaker in shock. It was Ye Fan, one of the parties involved.
Before, Ye Fan created a large area of black fog and fought with Chu Hailiang in the black fog. He was originally the most suspicious person. However, Ye Fan's early-stage Martial Master Realm was too low, and no one regarded him as a suspect.
No one even mentioned this possibility.
If a martial master who has only been promoted to the Martial Master Realm for one year can kill a late-stage master who has reached the Martial Master Realm for decades. Then, these top genius martial masters on the Donglai List will be put wherever they face. Even if Ye Fan really did it, they may have to find a way to deny it, let alone this is impossible.
So they kept silent and ignored Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's words shocked them.
The cause of Chu Hailiang's death finally became clear.
"Thunder Eel Beast Lord"
"When Ye Fan said this, I seemed to see a huge black shadow just now. It flashed through the seabed and was farther away, and I couldn't see it carefully. Ye Fan was closer and looked more clearly. That must be true."
"Yes, I also saw a Thunder Eel Beast Lord appear just now. Its beast body is probably the peak of the late stage of the Beast Lord. Not to mention Chu Hailiang, even if I encounter it, I have to avoid it, otherwise I will be unlucky."
"Oh, Chu Hailiang has a bright future. He finally achieved the 37th place in the Donglai List. It's a pity that he accidentally died at the hands of the Thunder Eel Beast Lord."
The martial masters were talking and sighed as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Ye Fan felt secretly amused when he heard the discussions of the martial masters.
He knew very well that no one saw the fictitious Thunder Eel Beast Lord.
But that doesn't matter.
What’s important is that this reason is the only reason that everyone can accept. Since it was not done by Li Jin or Pan Yun, it is necessary to find something worth enough to kill Chu Hailiang.
Everyone needs a suitable reason, and that's enough.
"Chu Hailiang died in the attack of thunder eels. The cause of death has been clear. Everyone is witnessing General Pan Zi. Take Chu Hailiang's body back."
Li Hao glanced at Ye Fan deeply, shook his sleeves and drove the light boat back to the East City Gate Tower.
Pan Zi then took Chu Hailiang's body and returned to the Dongcheng Gate Tower with the vice president of the county court.
The three of them reported to the Lords of the East City Gate Tower that the cause of Chu Hailiang's death was an accidental death, and he was killed by the Sea Beast Lord. The body was also brought back and was seen by the Lords.
The adults sighed regretfully.
This kind of thing is rare at rafting meetings, but it also happens occasionally. On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the most dangerous battle against the sea beast master is always unexpected.
As for the previous small conflict between Chu Hailiang and Ye Fan, no one mentioned it. A martial master went to bully the martial master in the late stage, which was embarrassing to say it.
Li Zhouying of Donglai County ordered Chu Hailiang to be buried with a grand ceremony and sent someone to appease the Chu clan. The accident at this rafting meeting was completely calmed down. Except for the Chu clan's people who would be sad, no one should take it too seriously.
Although there was an accident, the annual rafting will continue and will not stop because of a minor accident.
The teams of martial arts masters once again attacked the tide waves and fought against the sea beast master.
But this time, they finally settled down and did not get close to each other. They tried to keep a distance as far as possible to prevent another conflict. Seize the time and kill as many sea beast masters as possible. Each time they kill one, they can earn 300 yuan stones rewarded by the county government.
At the tonight rafting meeting, the people who hunted the most sea beasts and even had a lot of extra rewards.
Ye Fan and the Luyang team were also taking the time to hunt down the sea beast master.
With a chuckled on his lips, he reached into his arms and touched an ordinary storage bag.
This was Chu Hailiang's storage bag. After he killed Chu Hailiang, he thought that Wu Zun should have some savings in the later stage, so he immediately took it. The only one was the short-blade dagger, which Ye Fan did not get.
Since Chu Hailiang dared to come and plot against him, there was nothing to say about him to take Chu Hailiang's storage bag.
I just don’t know what is in Chu Hailiang’s storage bag. To be continued...
