"Yang Ao, if your son massacres the city lord's palace, if you don't give us an explanation today, don't blame me for not being kind and righteous in killing your relatives!"
Yang Feng suddenly disappeared and the scene became noisy, but Yang Xiao showed a sly smile and seized the opportunity to pull Yang Ao into the water together.
At this time, Yang Ao could be easily removed from the position of clan leader with the help of the pressure from everyone in Qingtie Mansion.
Yang Ao's expression changed, and then he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "It's still unknown whether my son killed someone. Did any of you see my son kill someone in the city lord's palace with your own eyes? When did the investigation of the murder fall on you, Yang Xiao?
Well, if I remember correctly, all the gold-medal catchers in Qingtie Mansion are still there, even if they are convicted of murder, they should be responsible for it!"
At this time, Yang Ao knew that if he was pulled down from the position of clan leader, Yang Feng's situation would be even worse. As long as he was still the head of the Yang clan for a day, he could always help a little.
"Hmph, the investigation of the murder case certainly has nothing to do with me, but you are suspected of murdering Palace Master Zhao and massacring the City Lord's Palace. Just because of this, you are not worthy of being the head of the Yang family. I hope you will consciously step down as the head of the clan and wait for the investigation. This is also a manifestation.
Our Yang family must actively cooperate, otherwise others will think that our Yang family has participated in the rebellion, and the whole family will be buried with us!"
Yang Xiao is still aggressive and will definitely pull Yang Ao down from the position of clan leader today.
The other three families, except the Murong family, remained silent. The Shan family and the Xu family stood behind Yang Xiao in a tacit understanding and began to accuse Yang Ao.
"Yang Xiao, don't go too far! The removal of the patriarch requires the consent of many elders. This matter is of great importance. How to make a decision should ask the Supreme Elder to come out to uphold justice. What qualifications do you, an elder, have to open your mouth and shut up to remove the patriarch. As for the Shan family and
Members of the Xu family, the appointment of the head of our Yang family is an internal matter and we do not need your advice!"
The three elders and six elders who came with him couldn't sit still. Yang Ao would definitely be unable to withstand the pressure of the crowd and step down as the clan leader under pressure.
"Haha, the person who is dead now is the master of the palace. That affects everyone in Qingtie Mansion. We all have the responsibility to investigate and find out the truth. Yang Ao is the most suspected. If he is not the head of the Yang family, we will take him down and give him to him now.
Interrogation of a gold-medal head catcher!"
"If it hadn't been for Yang Xiao, I'm afraid the City Lord's Mansion would have been massacred, and no one would have discovered it tomorrow. It's better to leave the position of head of your Yang family to Yang Xiao."
Every word you say to me makes the scene extremely chaotic.
Yang Ao took a deep breath and shouted angrily: "Shut up! This is the internal affairs of my Yang family and has nothing to do with you. If you want to arrest someone, let the arrester come. If you want me to abdicate, let the Supreme Elder tell me! Get out of here now!"
"
The deep vitality set off a billowing wave of air, and everyone's heart sank unconsciously. With this sense of oppression, Yang Ao's cultivation was getting closer and closer to the realm of transformation!
"Let's go!"
Yang Ao didn't want to stay any longer and left the city lord's mansion with the two elders.
Yang Xiao gritted his teeth. It would be great if the Shan family and the Xu family could help him. It was impossible to expect them to fight. As for fighting alone before today, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Yang Ao, let alone Yang Ao's obvious cultivation now.
Improved.
Yang Feng and Yang Ao both left. Murong Fu smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, there are other trivial matters to be dealt with in Jubaofang, so I won't accompany you for now."
After saying that, Murong Fu was about to leave, Yang Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Murong Fu and said coldly: "Big shopkeeper, I remember that you and Yang Feng have a good relationship in private."
Murong Fu raised his head with a smile and asked: "So what? Are you planning to say that I collaborated with Yang Feng to massacre the city lord's palace and intend to rebel?"
Seeing Murong Fu's smile, Yang Xiao suddenly felt something stuck in his heart and stammered: "I hope not. It's best for the big shopkeeper not to leave Qingtie Mansion during this period."
"Okay, but you'd better not think about coming to my treasure house to arrest people. You know the rules of the treasure house. Fighting is prohibited."
Murong Fu responded with a smile, holding Yang Xiao's arm in front of him with one hand, and the majestic vitality flowed into Yang Xiao's body along his veins.
Even though he was injured, Murong Fu was still in the transformation state. Yang Xiao's internal organs were shaken by the direct impact of the fierce wave of energy, and his face turned pale.
Seeing that Yang Xiao was defeated, Murong Fu did not continue to take action and left the scene with the Jubaofang clerk.
Then the Murong family and some wealthy merchants also left one after another. Only the Shan family, the Xu family, the Yang Xiao family, and some small families in the Qingtie Mansion remained there, clamoring to find out the truth.
Yang Ao's face was gloomy when he returned to the mansion. The sixth elder beside him asked softly: "Clan leader, what should we do now? I don't believe that the prince would do such a treasonous thing as massacre the city lord's mansion."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? What's the benefit of the Crown Prince killing all the people in the City Lord's Mansion? And it was obviously Yang Xiao who tricked the Crown Prince into going to the City Lord's Mansion, but Palace Master Zhao is a master of the Transformation Realm. How did Yang Xiao plot against Zhao?
From the Palace Master?”
The third elder murmured to himself next to him, if Yang Xiao had the ability to kill Zhao Lingjun, then this clan leader competition would have been over long ago.
"Don't tell anyone about Feng'er in the family. Yang Xiao has a vicious mind and will definitely not let it go. The family members should not go out recently to avoid other troubles. Tell the children of our family here to keep a low profile recently and stop making trouble.
What happened?"
"That prince..."
The third elder looked at Yang Ao doubtfully.
"Feng'er has grown up. I believe he can solve this matter. What we have to do is to protect the Yang family and prevent Yang Xiao from seizing power and usurping the throne at this time. We are Feng'er's last line of defense and must not be broken!"
Yang Ao's eyes flickered, and white marks appeared on his palms because he clenched his fist too hard.
…
In the courtyard of Jubaofang, Yang Feng was sitting on a stone bench, frowning and meditating. The sword slave beside him waited for Murong Fu's return without saying a word.
Not long after, Murong Fu walked in from the outside with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are so courageous, killing all the people in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Yang Feng rolled his eyes at Murong Fu: "You also think it was me?"
"Now everyone in the city is saying that it's you. Tomorrow, there will be rumors in several surrounding cities about your heroic record of treason, causing a horde of beasts to attack Qingtie Mansion, and massacring the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yang Xiao doesn't have this ability."
Not to mention other things, Zhao Lingjun is a problem that Yang Ao can't solve. Even if Zhao Lingjun is in a weak state, the pills Jubaofang has provided to Zhao Lingjun these days are enough to restore him to 70% of his strength. At the peak of transformation, only 30% of his strength is left.
He can also kill Yang Xiao with a single slap in the Danyin realm.
"What are you doing at the City Lord's Mansion in the middle of the night?"
Murong Fu frowned and asked, "There are too many coincidences here. If you want to help Yang Feng clear his grievances, you have to think long and hard."
Yang Feng told the story again, and Murong Fu asked with strange eyes: "You mean you didn't see Zhao Lingjun at all?"
"Yes, I only saw the silhouettes of people reflected in the candlelight inside the house."
"It's strange. There's no reason why Zhao Lingjun didn't react at all when things were so big outside. If he was fine, why didn't he come out to clarify the matter? But today when I sent someone to deliver the elixir to the City Lord's Mansion, the guy also saw Palace Master Zhao and Wang
Chief Secretary, apart from the battle on our side in the afternoon, there were no other battles in the city. If something happened to the two of them, why didn't we notice it at all? The Soul Worship Cult and Shandong Lai are both in front of us. Who is attacking Palace Master Zhao and
The hand of Lord Wang?"
Murong Fu only felt that there were a lot of unexplainable things, and the most important thing was that there seemed to be another force behind the scenes in this conspiracy.
Yang Feng looked calm for a long time before he said: "If you have any doubts, just go and take a look and you will know."
After saying that, Yang Feng stood up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"You go and follow him to ensure his safety. I will write a letter to Taoist Master Jinhuang to suppress this matter first."
If word spreads about Yang Feng, according to the laws of the Daxu Dynasty, regardless of whether it is true or false, Yang Feng will definitely be dead. Even if there is only one percent possibility of committing a serious crime of treason, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go.
, this news must not be spread to the imperial capital.
Without hesitation, the sword slave twisted his figure and disappeared into the courtyard, while Murong Fu quickly walked into the study and began to prepare a letter.
The City Lord's Mansion has now become a murder scene, and the City Guards were urgently seconded to protect the scene. The four gold medal catchers were still recovering at home, but when they heard about the murders in the City Lord's Mansion, they all rushed over regardless of their injuries.
"It's all about sealing the throat with one sword, the shots are clean and neat, and the swordsmanship is very high!"
"I investigated many traces in the house and can prove that they were all left by Yang Feng."
"The master of the palace and the royal master were stabbed seven times at close range. The injuries were superimposed and their internal organs were shattered. It is very similar to the Yang family's Qixuan Sword Yuanjutsu."
"Is it really Yang Feng? What is his motive?"
The four gold medal catchers are really big now. Although they have not had much contact with Yang Feng, if Yang Feng hadn't taken action in Yang Xiao's mansion, they would have become bones by now. The kindness of saving their lives made them subconsciously feel that it was not Yang Feng's doing.
of.
"Currently, I can only say that he is the most suspect. The Qingtie Mansion has excellent swordsmanship and can execute seven swords in a row without the Master of the Mansion paying attention. He is the only one I can think of."
"Why don't we go to Yang's house first and see what Yang Ao has to say? It won't help to just stare without a clue here."
The four detectives discussed it, and Long Sen stayed behind to protect the survey site. The other three mobilized government officials and sent orders to the Jinhuang Dao General Office to investigate Yang Ao.
The night wind blew, and the slightest chill kept people awake. Long Sen, who was looking for clues in the city lord's mansion, suddenly stopped and said coldly: "Are you going back to the crime scene to destroy the evidence?"
On a dense tree, Yang Feng jumped down and stood in front of Long Sen and said with a smile: "Catch a thief and take the stolen goods. You can't be like those people outside who just accuse me of killing someone without evidence."
"I will find evidence, what are you doing back here?"
Long Sen looked at Yang Feng expressionlessly.
"Investigate the case, prove my innocence, and find the person who framed me behind the scenes."
After hearing Yang Feng's reply, Long Sen turned around and continued to survey the city lord's palace.
"It's best not to be seen, otherwise you and I will be in trouble."
Yang Feng chuckled and walked quickly towards the temporary morgue where the corpses were placed.
