Lu Feng galloped all the way, wishing that he was riding not a golden horse, but a tiger and cheetah. He waved his whip repeatedly, pushing his speed to the limit. The journey that originally took half a day was shortened by him, and it only took more than an hour in the end.
Arriving at the boundary of Tianyuan City.
Lu Feng led the "panting" golden horse with a long tongue sticking out, all the way towards the city lord's palace. The superficial work still needs to be done properly, and the golden horse needs to be returned to its original owner.
Regarding the fact that Zhuo Xiu secretly attacked and lost his life on the road, Lu Feng also wanted to see Zhuo Heng's expression when he learned about it.
Before Lu Feng could get close to the city lord's palace, he was surrounded by countless ordinary people on the streets.
"The prison officer is back..."
"Prison Officer, please make the decision for the people and execute Su Qing'er and Su Mo as soon as possible!"
"Prison Officer, please give us an explanation!"
"Expell the Su Mansion and let them get out of Tianyuan City..."
Lu Feng frowned and looked at the crowd in front of him with a serious expression. At that moment, he realized that within a few dozen days of his departure, Tianyuan City might have been in chaos.
"Don't worry, everyone." Lu Feng's spiritual energy surged and he spread his voice far away: "I have found out the murder in the Su family, and I will give you an explanation soon!"
When the crowd heard this, they all praised. One of them, a farmer wearing a bamboo hat and dressed as a farmer, shouted to Lu Feng: "Sir, please give me a time limit. Don't delay it again and again, which will chill our hearts!"
Affected by the man's voice, the people started clamoring again, clamoring for Lu Feng to set a deadline.
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked directly at the farmer, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. Lu Feng naturally felt that the farmer's behavior was abnormal. It was obvious that he was leading the direction of public opinion, but he did not know who was giving instructions.
The farmer felt the coldness in Lu Feng's eyes, and trembled all over. He lowered his head, not daring to look at each other, and retreated to the back of the crowd. However, the shouts from the crowd were still loud.
Due to the situation, Lu Feng had no choice but to speak again and promised: "In three days, I will give you an answer within three days."
After the crowd got the result they wanted, they all made way for Lu Feng to pass through.
Inside the city lord's palace.
When Zhuo Heng saw Lu Feng's arrival, his face was filled with frost, and murderous intent emerged. He wished he could kill him on the spot to avenge Zhuo Xiu's murder.
As early as ten days ago, Zhuo Heng noticed that the soul jade plaque left by Zhuo Xiu was shattered, and learned about the death of his father. He originally thought that Lu Feng had used some despicable means to drag Zhuo Xiu to die together, but now Lu Feng suddenly
appeared, and seemed to be intact, this made Zhuo Heng extremely surprised. If Zhuo Xiu had attacked Lu Feng with his strength, how could the latter be safe and sound? Unless the two had never met at all.
Little did they know that Zhuo Heng, like the deceased Zhuo Xiu, had a great misunderstanding and contempt for Lu Feng's strength.
"Is there any suspense surrounding my father's death?"
Zhuo Heng thought to himself, forcefully forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, smiled kindly at Lu Feng, pretended to be very concerned and asked: "What will the prison officer gain by going here? What will you gain along the way?"
Is there any danger during the long journey?"
"My thoughts are with you, City Master," Lu Feng smiled gently: "The journey was smooth and we didn't even meet any thieves. We only found a few carcasses on the way back. Unfortunately, they were eaten by wild beasts and were so disfigured that they could not be identified."
Zhuo Heng's heart trembled suddenly. For some reason, he somehow felt that the remains that Lu Feng was talking about were his father.
"I wonder where the wreckage is? I'll send someone to clean it up, so that those people won't be left with no bones left after they die," Zhuo Heng looked like a good old man.
Lu Feng smiled kindly on the surface, but he was secretly cursing in his heart. Zhuo Heng was far superior to Zhuo Xiu in terms of character. He was too hypocritical and pretentious.
"I have buried those wreckage," Lu Feng took out a piece of rag and a token from his arms, and said to Zhuo Heng, "If the city lord is interested, please investigate the owners of these objects and find out which bodies
The identity of the wreckage can also give the families of the deceased some peace of mind."
Zhuo Heng's expression was trembling. He took the blood-stained rag tremblingly and recognized it at a glance as the clothes Zhuo Xiu wore when he left that day.
"Where did you find this rag?" Zhuo Heng asked Lu Feng, suppressing the angry murderous intention in his heart.
"In the ringwood forest," Lu Feng had already looked up the name of the place where he killed Zhuo Xiu when he was meditating in Qingxiu Zen Buddhism.
Zhuo Heng secretly made a note and put away the murderous intention in his heart. He did not fully believe Lu Feng's words, nor did he give up his doubts about Lu Feng. Everything would have to wait until he went to check to find out the result. With Zhuo Xiu's strength, it was impossible for him to do it for no reason.
If you die, you will definitely leave some traces of the battle.
Lu Feng naturally thought of this, so when he took out the rag, he also took out a token.
"This was found near the wreckage. It should be the identity sign of a certain sect." Lu Feng pointed to the sign on the table. He had carefully kept it. At this moment, the writing on the sign was blurred and could only be read vaguely.
We get the word '青' and the word 'page'.
Zhuo Heng held the wooden sign tightly, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Qingdingmen?"
"If it is true that the Qingding clan killed my father, I will definitely make you die a miserable death!"
Zhuo Heng secretly swore in his heart that although his strength was not enough to fight against the entire sect, he could secretly attack and kill one by one.
And all of this was planned by Lu Feng. Even if Zhuo Heng went to the woods to investigate in person, all he could find was only one trace, and that was the evil aura left by the bloody war corpse. As for other sword marks, etc., Lu Feng
It has already been cleaned up.
Even if Zhuo Heng had doubts and would not attribute Zhuo Xiu's death to the Qingding Sect, he would inevitably become suspicious of the remaining aura of the bloody war corpse, become wary of the blood clan, and even have internal strife.
The war corpse in Lu Feng's hands had been refined through the Skeleton Sect and absorbed the existence of countless blood clan bones. Whether it was the sinister evil spirit or the permeating blood energy, it had one or two elements in it, making it difficult for people to distinguish clearly.
…
After coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Feng walked towards the Prison Mansion. Along the way, he saw countless ordinary people spontaneously forming various groups, holding signs and holding long banners, marching around and shouting for the City Lord's Mansion.
The prison government came forward to uphold justice and execute Su Fu as soon as possible.
Without the golden horse to attract attention, Lu Feng hid his figure and avoided the crowd. He did not need to waste time on those people. He understood that there must be someone secretly directing behind the crowd demonstrations. If he wanted to solve these problems, he must get to the root cause.
Get started.
Back at the prison, Wang Wei, Shan Wu, Zheng Ba, and Xing Qi were all there, but each was busy.
"Sir~ Your Excellency is back!" Zheng Ba was training a group of newly recruited prison trainees when he suddenly saw Lu Feng approaching and shouted happily to Wang Wei and others who were busy in the back room.
Wang Wei and the other two people came out in response. After seeing Lu Feng, everyone's expressions couldn't help but become more relaxed and relieved. These days, they have been very busy with all kinds of things in the prison. The noisy crowd outside is like a huge tower.
The mountains weighed on their hearts.
Now that Lu Feng is back, the backbone of the prison is back, and they finally have shoulders they can rely on.
"Sir, you are finally back," Shan Wu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Zheng Ba will be driven crazy if you don't come back."
Lu Feng looked at Zheng Ba without knowing why, and the latter smiled innocently.
Xing Qi laughed and explained: "Third brother, he is responsible for calming down the ordinary people who are making trouble outside. He can't be beaten and can't be listened to, but it's driving him crazy."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Lu Feng's arrival relieved a lot of pressure on them all.
Wang Wei put away his smile and asked seriously: "Sir, I have been here for more than ten days, but have you encountered any danger?"
Lu Feng nodded and said calmly: "I ran into some trouble and almost died in the wilderness. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about what happened in Tianyuan City in the past few days and report it to me..."
Wang Wei's heart froze and he couldn't help but blame himself. He understood that the more Lu Feng spoke so lightly, the more dangerous the trouble he would encounter would be. A few days ago, he originally wanted to go out to look for Lu Feng, but the prison government was busy with practical matters.
Hard to walk away.
"Sir," Wang Wei solemnly leaned down and said, "If there is such a dangerous thing in the future, I must let my subordinates accompany me."
Lu Feng raised his hand to help Wang Wei, "Don't worry, I'm blessed with good fortune and I won't die that easily."
Wang Wei felt the strength coming from Lu Feng's arm, and was shocked in his heart. How could he not feel that Lu Feng's current strength had faded to the Condensation Realm...
What kind of dangerous situation can allow a Five Elements Realm soul master to retreat to the Condensing Plate Realm in just a few days?
"Sir!" Wang Wei said solemnly again, stubbornly forcing Lu Feng to comply with his request.
"No one can say when the danger will come," Lu Feng said with a helpless smile, "You can't always follow me."
Wang Wei said: "I will do my best to protect you."
Lu Feng did not try to dissuade Wang Wei anymore. He knew Wang Wei's temperament, and even a few cows could not persuade him once he became stubborn. Moreover, the latter also had good intentions and was sincere.
Lu Feng took Wang Wei and others into the prison room and learned about the current situation of Tianyuan City from their mouths.
In the past ten days or so, it can be said that the Su family property has shrunk by at least half. It was divided and robbed by Chai and Zhao's second house. The rest was also in a sluggish business due to its notoriety.
In the past ten days, the two houses of Chai and Zhao had a very tacit understanding, as if they had made a secret agreement not to compete with or interfere with each other, but to act in unison to bully the Su family.
At this point, the power of the aristocratic families in Tianyuan City has been reshuffled, with the Chai and Zhao Houses taking the lead, and the remaining small houses and chambers of commerce have more or less close relationships with these two houses.
Lu Feng looked at the latest power details collected and investigated by Wang Wei and others in his hand, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
There were frequent conflicts between Chai and Zhao Mansion in the past, but after Zhou Mansion left Tianyuan City, they all became harmonious and seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.
Lu Feng recalled everything that happened in the Su Mansion during this period. First, the formation to protect the mansion was destroyed, then Su Mo was unjustly killed, and then Su Qing'er was imprisoned...
I couldn't help but be shocked. If the Chai and Zhao mansions had already secretly united to deal with the Su mansion, then all this would make sense.
Lu Feng even had a vague hunch that the fact that Zhou Mansion was 'driven' out of Tianyuan City might have something to do with the Second Mansion.
