Xiao Ziyan walked into the study with a bowl of ginseng soup and said with a smile: "Dad, this is the ginseng chicken soup I specially asked the kitchen to make for you. Do you want to try it?"
In the study room, a man with gray hair on his temples was leaning in front of the desk, holding a book and studying it attentively.
The man was about fifty years old, with a thin face and a bookish air.
He is Xiao Han, the Minister of Rites, and also Xiao Ziyan's father.
Seeing Xiao Ziyan walking in with a bowl of ginseng soup, Xiao Han raised his eyebrows, then took a sip of the ginseng soup and said lightly: "How do you feel about being in Jingzhou Zhenwusi during this time?"
Xiao Ziyan smiled and said: "It's pretty good."
"Why don't you come to me at this time?" Xiao Han said lightly.
There is no better son than a father. If Xiao Ziyan came to him at this time, he must have something to ask for from him.
Otherwise, with Xiao Ziyan's temperament, he would not be attentive when nothing happened.
"Hey, you know you can't hide it from dad."
Xiao Ziyan chuckled and said, "Dad, can you ask the Jiaofang Secretary to re-elect the oiran?"
When Xiao Han heard this, he frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "The oiran of the Jiaofang Division has only been promoted for a few months this year, so why should he be re-elected?"
"It's like this, Dad, I fell in love with Meiji, the courtesan of the Jiaofang Division. I was promoted to a hundred households. I'm not happy about it. I held a banquet in the Jiaofang Division to entertain the captain below."
Xiao Ziyan looked a little ugly and said: "I just want Mei Ji to come over and perform a song to cheer up everyone."
"Unexpectedly, this girl didn't take me seriously at all and didn't even show my face."
"Dad, although the oiran of the Jiaofang Division has great autonomy, he is not subject to the control of the Jiaofang Division."
"But no matter what, I, Xiao Ziyan, am also the son of your Minister of Rites, Xiao Han, but she didn't even show her face. Doesn't this mean she doesn't take you seriously?"
After hearing what Xiao Ziyan said, Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.
He looked up at Xiao Ziyan and chuckled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
"If you just want her to perform music, I'm afraid there's no need for you to go to such trouble."
"What you really want is for her to sleep with you at night after she finishes singing, right?"
"It's just because of the rules of the Jiaofang Secretary and you can't force it, so you thought of taking her title of oiran away, so that she would have to come to bed."
After listening to Xiao Han's analysis, Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but look a little sarcastic, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Dad, what a man wants to do in this life is to get promoted, get rich, and sleep with beauties."
Xiao Han said lightly: "Just because of this trivial matter, you ask your father to re-elect the oiran, and then use this to deprive her of the title of Mei Ji oiran. In this way, she will have no choice but to be forced to
Will I sleep with you?"
"Is that what you mean?"
Xiao Ziyan nodded and said with a smile: "That's pretty much what it means."
Xiao Han glanced at him and chuckled: "Are you sure you are hiding nothing from me?"
"Dad, what can I hide from you?"
Xiao Ziyan was startled when he heard this, his face was full of confusion, and he said in surprise.
"If dad remembers correctly, this Mei Ji who is in the limelight right now should be a prime minister named Su Yu in the Zhenwu Division, right?"
Xiao Han said lightly: "And just today, Dad has heard the news that the school captain named Su Yu has been promoted to the Hundred Households for killing Jingzhe of the Nian organization!"
"This Lord of the Hundred Households named Su Yu is also hosting a banquet at the Jiaofangsi tonight, and Mei Ji is in his box tonight."
"Did you miss anything in what dad said?"
Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but stare at Xiao Han with his eyes widened and his face looked a little horrified.
Only an hour had passed since this incident happened. Unexpectedly, Xiao Han had already received the news at home.
"Dad, you know everything." Xiao Ziyan said angrily.
"snort!"
Xiao Han's face suddenly turned cold, and he snorted: "You are so confused!"
Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look at Xiao Han.
Even though Xiao Han is just an ordinary person, Xiao Ziyan knows very well that everything he has now is because of Xiao Han.
Xiao Han said coldly: "Have you ever thought about how troublesome it is to re-elect the oiran."
"And she, Meiji, is now a popular oiran in Tai'an City, and even vaguely has the title of the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty!"
"You asked dad to re-elect the oiran and take off her title of oiran. What will the people in the world think?"
"And the Ministry of Etiquette behind the Jiaofang Division is bound to be at the forefront."
"Once His Majesty hears about this, what do you think he will think? Is it possible that someone is abusing his power?"
"You just returned to Tai'an City, do you want your father's position as the Minister of Etiquette to be insecure?"
After hearing what Xiao Han said, cold sweat broke out on Xiao Ziyan's forehead.
After careful analysis, he realized how big of a mistake he had made.
"Dad, it was the child's fault." Xiao Ziyan admitted his mistake.
When Xiao Han heard this, his expression softened a lot.
He said earnestly: "Zi Yan, this Jingzhou is different from Yuanzhou where you are. There are so many dignitaries gathered here, and their relationships are so complicated that you may not even be able to see through them yourself."
"Maybe the girl you fell in love with on the street today is the granddaughter of a certain minister."
"Do you think dad can afford to provoke such a person?"
"When you get to Tai'an City, you have to put away the bad temper you had in Yuanzhou and live a life with your tail between your legs. Dad is getting old. It is already very difficult to support you to the position of a hundred households."
"Next, as long as you abide by your duty and stay in this position, your future children may have the opportunity to go one step further than you and become the Qianhu adults of the Zhenwu Division."
"The prosperity of a family is never a matter of one generation."
"My father was a child from an ordinary family back then. My family was very poor at that time. My father even had to do a lot of farm work every day to have the opportunity to study."
"Had your father been more playful back then, he might not have the status he has today, and you wouldn't have lived as smoothly as you do now."
"Now that my father is old, I need you to take over the family inheritance and make the family's incense become more prosperous!"
Xiao Ziyan nodded heavily, and then said: "Dad, I understand."
Xiao Han waved his hand and said: "If there is nothing else, then you can go back and rest."
Xiao Ziyan turned around and was about to leave, but before he took a few steps, he stopped.
"Dad, I'm still not reconciled."
Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but said: "Dad, please help me one more time. I really like Meiji."
Meiji's graceful figure when she left undoubtedly fascinated him deeply.
Especially the fact that Meiji has the title of the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty has undoubtedly made him even more itchy.
How can the oiran, who is so easily available, be compared to Mei Ji?
For a man, as the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a steal, and a concubine is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a concubine who cannot steal.
Maybe Meiji's appearance is not much different from that of other courtesans.
But Mei Ji's fame was far beyond the comparison of the courtesans he had slept with.
If I could get the most powerful oiran in the Wei Dynasty to sleep with me, just thinking about it would be enough to brag for a lifetime, right?
When the time comes, tell your children that you have heard of Meiji, the most famous courtesan in the Wei Dynasty. She served your father back then.
How embarrassing would it be to tell this?
As for the other courtesans in the Jiaofang Division, what will happen even if they fall asleep?
After a few years, after being wasted by time, who will still remember the name of this courtesan?
"snort!"
Xiao Han snorted coldly, then glanced sideways at him and said lightly: "Do you like her? You are greedy for her body!"
Xiao Ziyan: "."
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Dad, as long as you help me this time, my child will calm down, listen to your words, and live a good life in Tai'an City with his tail between his legs!"
When he was in Yuanzhou, he had already heard about the name of Simiji of Jingzhou Jiaofang.
At that time, he was already feeling itchy.
Now that he has returned to Tai'an City and finally has the opportunity to kiss Fangze, how could he give up so easily?
"well."
Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "It is too difficult to re-elect the oiran."
"Dad, what should we do?" Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but ask.
"snort."
Xiao Han said lightly: "You should use your brain. It was originally a very simple thing, but you made it complicated."
Something very simple?
Xiao Ziyan frowned, then hurriedly smiled and said: "Dad, please give me some advice."
Facing Xiao Ziyan's gaze, Xiao Han's eyes were deep, and a ray of light flashed quietly.
He said calmly: "Since Mei Ji's lover is the Master of Hundred Households named Su Yu."
"Compared with re-electing the oiran, isn't it easier to find a way to deal with this Lord Baihu who only has the cultivation level of the Body Refining Realm?"
Hearing Xiao Han's words, Xiao Ziyan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
yes.
Re-electing the oiran and taking off the title of Mei Ji, who is already known as the number one oiran in the Wei Dynasty, isn't that going against the people of the world?
Moreover, this matter is also very troublesome. After all, the Minister of Rites, not his father but the minister, has the final say.
But wouldn't it be much easier if we pointed the finger at Su Yu?
As long as Su Yu dies, Meiji will naturally have no one to protect her.
Aren't you going to let yourself do what you want then?
Could it be that she, a weak woman, could still resist?
Even someone from the Jiaofang Division would turn a blind eye due to his status.
Xiao Ziyan said excitedly: "Dad, I understand."
"Um."
Xiao Han nodded, and then said calmly: "Don't always think about killing, use your brain more."
Xiao Ziyan nodded and said: "My child has learned a lesson."
"Remember to handle things cleanly and don't make any mistakes." Xiao Han warned.
"Dad, don't worry, a warrior in the body refining realm can be destroyed with just one finger."
Xiao Ziyan chuckled and said, "Dad, the kid won't disturb you anymore, and you should go to bed early!"
After saying that, Xiao Ziyan quickly walked out of the study and walked to the yard where he lived.
Looking at Xiao Ziyan's retreating figure, Xiao Han couldn't help but shake his head, and then continued to immerse himself in the books in front of him.
At this moment, on the street outside Xiao's Mansion, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face was hiding in the darkness at the corner of the street.
He is naturally the clone of Su Yu who has gone through disguise.
After receiving the colorful exquisite dice and the god-avoiding bracelet from the deity at the Jiaofang Secretary, he rushed towards the direction of the Xiao family.
Then I heard the conversation between Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Han in the study.
"Oh, if I were really a Body Refining Realm warrior, it would indeed be very easy for an Iron Bone Realm warrior to deal with me."
Su Yu's eyes glowed with coldness, and he laughed dumbly in his heart.
He adheres to the principle of not offending others unless they offend me.
But if someone wants to provoke him, then he naturally needs to nip the danger in the bud.
He used his spiritual consciousness to scan the entire Xiao family.
Obviously Xiao Han is an extremely cautious person.
In addition to Xiao Ziyan, the Xiao Mansion also raised a group of warriors.
Among them, Su Yu could sense that there was a warrior with good strength in the four directions guarding the Xiao family.
Because there is no specific confrontation, it is impossible to explore the opponent's specific cultivation level.
But according to Su Yu's guess, the other party's cultivation should not be lower than the Iron Bone realm.
Being able to afford four Iron Bone Realm warriors to look after his home and care for the courtyard shows that Xiao Han has made a lot of money over the years.
It is especially difficult to train an Iron Bone Realm warrior like Xiao Ziyan.
Without a large amount of resources, it is simply impossible for Xiao Ziyan to be promoted to the Iron Bone Realm at the age of only thirty years old.
"It has only been more than half a month since I last killed Liu Wenbo. If another mysterious person breaks into the Xiao Mansion and kills the Xiao family father and son, then when things happen tomorrow, Xiao Ziyan and I will have a conflict in the Jiaofang Division
The news will inevitably be spread."
"First, Liu Wenbo died because of a conflict with me that night, and now Xiao Ziyan and his son died because of a conflict with me. Even if I have an alibi, the suspicion of buying a murderer will still be on me.
On the head."
"And a minister of etiquette can be regarded as a high-ranking minister in the court."
"The sudden death of such a minister at home for no reason will inevitably arouse His Majesty's anger, and then urge the Zhenwu Department to conduct a thorough investigation. Then I will not be able to escape the possibility of being questioned."
"I can't continue to use the same method as last time and make this matter like someone from the Jianghu sneaked into the Xiao Mansion to burn, kill, and loot, and then the murderer could not be found."
"We must find someone to take the blame. Only in this way, the person in charge of the case from the Zhenwu Division will focus on this clear target person, instead of attacking the people who had enemies with the Xiao family and his son during this period.
investigation."
Su Yu frowned and murmured in a low voice.
If it was just a simple bloodbath of the Xiao family, it would not be a difficult task for him now.
How to escape the Zhenwu Division's investigation is the top priority.
If another mysterious warrior sneaks into the Xiao family and then wipes out the entire Xiao family, how will the Zhenwu Division investigate?
We will definitely first call out the people the Xiao family and his son have come into contact with during this period, as well as the people they have had bad relations with.
So tonight's conflict between Xiao Ziyan and him in the Jiaofang Division will inevitably become a direction of investigation by the Jiaofang Division.
Liu Wenbo was killed by him some time ago, which aroused the suspicion of the senior officials of Zhenwu Division.
In such a short period of time, the same thing happened again.
Even if he had an alibi and was suspected of procuring a murder, he could not get rid of it.
Therefore, Su Yu could not use the same method as last time.
As long as the Zhenwu Division has a clear target to pursue and knows that it is this person who committed the murder, he can clear all motives and stay out of it.
At this moment, Su Yu's expression suddenly became a little strange.
Under the inspection of his spiritual consciousness, a pretty woman in the Xiao Mansion secretly opened the door and walked out of the wing, and then walked to another courtyard not far away.
In that courtyard lived a middle-aged man who was practicing at this time. He was one of the four Iron Bone Realm warriors in the Xiao Mansion who were induced by Su Yu's spiritual consciousness.
The pretty woman gently knocked on the door, and the middle-aged man inside opened the door and took the pretty woman into his arms.
"My sweetheart, I miss you so much."
The middle-aged man carried the pretty woman to his bed and asked, "Didn't you meet anyone else on the way?"
"No, who hasn't slept at this late hour?" the pretty woman said with a shy look.
"Hey, we haven't gone to bed yet."
The middle-aged man threw her on the bed, and then said with a evil smile: "Tonight, let me take good care of you."
"Gee, don't..."
"."
Su Yu couldn't help but look a little strange.
If the guess is correct, that pretty woman should be Xiao Hanna's concubine, but somehow she secretly got together with the family minister Xiao Han recruited.
But it's right to think about it. Xiao Han is already old, and he is not a warrior. He has seven or eight concubines. It is indeed difficult to arrange all his wives and concubines in an orderly manner.
And this gave the warriors in the house an opportunity to sneak in.
Until half an hour later, the storm in the wing suddenly stopped, and the pretty woman dressed neatly again, opened the door with a happy face, and went back to her wing to sleep again.
"I figured out a way."
Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Immediately, he moved quickly on his face, and after a while, his appearance changed into that of Xiao Han
Activating the Tao Tian Xing, Su Yu shuttled through the Xiao Mansion like a ghost, and then came to the door of the middle-aged man's room.
"Dong dong dong."
Su Yu knocked on the middle-aged man's door.
The middle-aged man who was about to continue practicing couldn't help but was startled, and then mistakenly thought that the pretty woman had left something behind, so he opened the door with a wicked smile on his face.
"Squeak."
The door opened, and the middle-aged man smiled evilly and said, "Baby, isn't that enough?"
But before he said the next words, the person standing at the door made his expression change.
The visitor turned out to be Xiao Han!!
The heart of the middle-aged man who had just had sex with Xiao Han's concubine started to beat wildly.
The middle-aged man didn't know how much Xiao Han knew, so he could only ask tentatively: "Master Xiao, why are you here?"
"Hey, why do you think I am here?"
Xiao Han, who had been transformed into Su Yu's disguise, looked a little ugly at the moment and said gloomily: "How long have you been getting along with her?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Since Xiao Han said so, he naturally knew about the ambiguity between him and Yahui.
The middle-aged man suddenly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Sir, it's the villain who failed to withstand the temptation."
He knew very well that if Xiao Han wanted to kill him, he would definitely die.
After all, besides him, there are three Iron Bone Realm warriors in the Xiao Mansion.
Maybe he could fight evenly against one of them.
But if he faced three people at the same time, he would be dead in just one stick of incense.
Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Zhu Jiachuan, how long have you been with me?"
The reason why he knew the name of the person in front of him was because this person had a waist tag on his body. I guess this waist tag was his voucher for entering and exiting the Xiao Mansion, and it was also his identity certificate.
Zhu Jiachuan said respectfully: "My lord, it has been twenty-three years."
"Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in one go."
Su Yu said calmly: "Since you have done your duty for me for so many years, I can give you a chance to escape. After tonight, I will arrange for people to hunt you down. If you can escape, just
It all depends on your own ability!"
"grown ups."
Zhu Jiachuan's face trembled. Without his status as a minister in the Xiao family, his days of wandering around outside were definitely not as nourishing as they are now.
Moreover, he was only given one night's chance to escape, and then he would be chased by Xiao Han's men.
"Go away, if I don't kill you now, I'm already thinking about the old friendship over the years. If you don't leave, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship over the years." Su Yu said calmly.
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhu Jiachuan couldn't help but continued: "Sir, Na Yahui is her"
"snort."
Su Yu snorted coldly and said calmly: "Just mind yourself and get out."
"yes!"
Zhu Jiachuan knew that there were not many opportunities left for him, so he just stuffed the cloth bag containing Yuan Jing into his arms from the room, climbed up the courtyard wall, and quickly disappeared into the night.
When Zhu Jiachuan disappeared into the night, Su Yu couldn't help but smile.
"This way, I have someone I can frame."
"By the time Zhenwu Si finds him, some time will have passed, and I don't need to worry that Zhenwu Si will suspect me."
Su Yu's eyes flashed with a strange light and he murmured in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu rubbed his face with both hands.
In an instant, his face had transformed into that of Zhu Jiachuan.
Putting on Zhu Jiachuan's robe, Su Yu looked coldly and walked straight to the courtyard where Xiao Ziyan was.
At this time, Xiao Ziyan had not noticed the danger coming, and was holding a concubine in his arms.
When Su Yu pushed open the door and entered, Xiao Ziyan immediately noticed it and looked at Su Yu who walked into the room with a somewhat stunned expression.
When he saw that the person coming was Zhu Jiachuan, Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but cursed: "Zhu Jiachuan, what are you doing here? Didn't you see that I am busy?"
Su Yu had a panic look on his face, and then said: "Master, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao has just been poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
Xiao Ziyan's expression suddenly changed, and then he remembered the ginseng soup he had brought.
Could it be that that bowl of ginseng soup is poisonous?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly jumped out of bed and started dressing.
Xiao Ziyan asked anxiously: "Where is my father now?"
Su Yu quickly said: "In the study room!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyan immediately went out and rushed towards the study.
"Dad, Dad, how are you?"
When Xiao Ziyan walked into the study and saw Xiao Han leaning in front of the case, holding a book and studying, his face turned livid.
How does Xiao Han seem to be poisoned?
He looked at Zhu Jiachuan who was walking with him with an ugly expression.
Xiao Ziyan cursed loudly: "Zhu Jiachuan, you bitch slave, you are blind. Which eye did you see that my father was poisoned?"
A sneer appeared on 'Zhu Jiachuan''s face, and he said slowly: "He will be fine soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu suddenly raised his right fist and punched Xiao Ziyan.
"you"
Xiao Ziyan's expression changed drastically. He did not expect that Zhu Jiachuan would suddenly take action against him.
In addition, the distance between the two sides was only three feet, so Su Yu's punch was in front of him almost instantly.
In a hurry, Xiao Ziyan raised his hand and punched him. As long as he blocked the punch, other family ministers would rush over and kill Zhu Jiachuan easily.
"Bang!"
The two of them each punched each other, and the two fists met each other, and a dull sound broke out.
Xiao Ziyan frowned in confusion. The opponent's punch was obviously planned for a long time, but it was even worse than his hastily delivered punch?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt as if his internal organs were being grasped by an invisible hand and then violently turned.
"ah"
Under the severe pain, Xiao Ziyan couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
But before his screams could spread, Su Yu's next punch followed closely.
"Bang!"
"Pfft."
Under Su Yu's punch, Xiao Ziyan spurted out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and immediately fell into a coma.
The whole process, from Xiao Ziyan's entrance to Su Yu's sudden attack, happened in a flash of lightning.
When Xiao Han reacted, Xiao Ziyan had already fallen into a coma and was lifted into the hands of 'Zhu Jiachuan', with the Moon-Embracing Scimitar already placed on Xiao Ziyan's neck.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Han said with an ashen face: "You are not Zhu Jiachuan."
"I am indeed not Zhu Jiachuan."
Su Yu nodded and couldn't help but chuckle.
He glanced outside with his spiritual consciousness, and after confirming that the noise in the study just now did not attract the attention of the other three Iron Bone Realm warriors in the Xiao Mansion, he looked at Xiao Han with interest.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
Xiao Han said with an ugly face: "If Ziyan offends you in any way, Xiao is willing to apologize to you on his behalf."
"As long as you can let Ziyan go, you can set whatever conditions you want. As long as I can satisfy it, I will try my best to satisfy it!"
In this era where the inheritance of the family line is of paramount importance, Xiao Ziyan is his only one, so he naturally does not want anything to go wrong.
"apologize?"
Su Yu chuckled and said: "Xiao Ziyan did offend me somewhere, but I don't know what price Mr. Xiao is willing to pay to buy his life."
After saying that, the Lan Yue in Su Yu's hand had cut into Xiao Ziyan's skin, and blood stained the white blade of the Lan Yue red.
"Wait a minute!"
Xiao Han turned pale with fright and said tremblingly: "My hero, I have accumulated some Yuan Jing over the years. As long as you let Ziyan go, I will give you all these Yuan Jing!"
If the money is gone, he can still earn it.
But if Xiao Ziyan dies, no amount of money can buy his life back.
"oh?"
Su Yu raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "I wonder how many Yuan Jing Master Xiao has accumulated over the years?"
"If I remember correctly, there should be 150,000 yuan crystals."
Xiao Han quickly took out a brocade box, which contained a thick stack of banknotes.
"Hero, these are the withdrawal tickets that I have stored in various banks over the years. As long as you take these withdrawal tickets, you can take out all the Yuan Jing."
Su Yu took the ticket and couldn't help but smacked his tongue and said: "I never expected that Mr. Xiao, who is just a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, would have so much money in his hands. It really surprises me."
Being able to raise four Iron Bone Realm family ministers in the house also allowed Xiao Ziyan to become an Iron Bone Realm warrior at a young age and become one of the 100 households in the Zhenwu Division.
Money is needed everywhere.
"Let the hero laugh."
Xiao Han said with a stern look on his face: "My hero, can you spare Ziyan's life now?"
"Sorry, I can't."
Su Yu chuckled lightly, and when he looked at Lan Yue in his hand, the sharp blade instantly cut Xiao Ziyan's throat, and blood burst out instantly.
"Yan'er!!"
Xiao Han's expression changed drastically and he rushed forward hastily.
He didn't seem to expect that even though he had given everything to him, the other party still refused to let Ziyan go.
Following Xiao Han's loud shout, the other three Iron Bone Realm warriors in the Xiao Mansion finally noticed and rushed towards the study.
Obviously, after Su Yu killed Xiao Ziyan, Xiao Han no longer had any concerns and decided to fight the "Zhujiachuan" in front of him to the death.
Xiao Han rushed forward regardless, desperately trying to cover the blood that was pouring out of Xiao Ziyan's neck, but the blood flowed quietly from his fingers.
"Who are you anyway?"
Xiao Han looked at Su Yu with a spiteful expression and said angrily: "How did Zi Yan offend you to deserve such cruel treatment?"
His spiritual consciousness detected that the three Iron Bone Realm warriors were rushing towards him. Su Yu looked at him with leisurely eyes and chuckled: "Who am I?"
"Didn't you just give him an idea half an hour ago?"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Xiao Han couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He looked at him in shock and said in a voiceless voice: "You are Zhenwu Si Su."
"Correct answer."
Su Yu sneered and said, "You must also know that you can't take this secret out."
Seeing Su Yu slowly walking towards him, Xiao Han's expression changed drastically and he said, "Aren't you afraid that the Zhenwu Division will investigate you if you kill an official of the imperial court?"
"Oh, didn't you see?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "My current identity is Zhu Jiachuan."
As soon as the words fell, the moon in Su Yu's hand had already passed across Xiao Han's throat.
The next moment, Su Yu had already used Skywalk to fly up into the air.
"puff!"
Immediately afterwards, the bone wings of the Nine Heavens Griffin behind Su Yu stretched out and disappeared over the Xiao Mansion in an instant.
Seeing Su Yu leave neatly, Xiao Han, who was already on his deathbed, looked desperate and glanced at Xiao Ziyan unwillingly.
He actually provoked such a strong man?
"Ziyan, Dad realized that he did one thing wrong, that is, Dad suffered a lot in his life and took many detours."
"Dad will try his best to prevent you from taking these detours, so that your life will be so smooth."
"And I forgot one thing. If you didn't encounter any adversity, how would you know that the sky is high and the earth is high?"
"If you don't experience the pain and frustration firsthand, how can you listen to my father's few words?"
"Zi Yan, although you are the cause of this disaster, if you really want to say it, dad's indulgence of you over the years has actually laid the root of this disaster."
Xiao Han murmured in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.
At this time, the other three Iron Bone Realm family ministers in the Xiao Mansion had already rushed to the door of the study.
When they saw Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Han having their throats sealed with a knife, and both of them died tragically, the three of them couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"This person is a master. He can appear in the Xiao Mansion silently and kill Master Xiao effortlessly. I'm afraid his cultivation level is not low."
One of the family ministers couldn't help but said.
"Now that the Xiao family's father and son have died tragically, what should we do?" Another family minister asked.
"What else can be done?"
The remaining family minister said: "Now that the person has escaped, we can only inform the Zhenwu Division about the matter and ask them to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Hey, where is Lao Zhu? Such a big thing happened, where did he go?"
"Don't tell me"
''
At the same time, in the Lotus Garden, Mei Ji’s boudoir.
"Su Lang, why do you look so absent-minded?"
In the bathtub, Mei Ji rubbed Su Yu's back and couldn't help but ask.
"Yo, how did you tell?"
The clone had returned home, and most of Su Yu's mind returned to his original body again. He took Meiji into his arms.
"snort."
Meiji snorted softly, with a hint of cunning in her captivating eyes.
"In the past, when I would rub your back, you would always bully me, and you would not have any time to spare."
Mei Ji took Su Yu's arm with both hands and said with a sweet smile.
Su Yu smiled evilly and said: "Okay, now I will abide by my duty and be a gentleman, and I still have to be teased by you."
"It's so hard to be a man."
As Su Yu started to add fuel to the flames, Mei Ji's breathing became heavy and she could only snuggle into Su Yu's arms.
"Su Lang."
Meiji's faint voice reached Su Yu's ears.
Su Yu chuckled lightly, then leaned into Mei Ji's ear and said, "Baby, do you know why the woman who just passed by called me bride?"
Hearing this, Meisui couldn't help but be startled, and then asked in confusion: "Why?"
Su Yu chuckled, and then said: "Because Youno is my mother, haha..."
"Su Lang, how good are you?"
"Hahaha"
Su Yu hugged Meiji and walked out of the bath, then walked straight to the bed.
Two hours later, Su Yu, who was covered in sweat, hugged Mei Ji and walked into the bath again.
"Su Lang, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that it would cost so much money to redeem my body?"
Mei Ji nestled in Su Yu's arms and said with a bit of blame on her pretty face.
Su Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, maybe when I redeem you again tomorrow, the price will have dropped?"
"I'll put the 10,000 yuan crystal here. Wait until tomorrow and ask the madam to arrange for someone to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to ask."
Now that the Xiao family and his son are dead, as long as Wen Hang is not stupid, he will not continue to maintain the price of Mei Ji's redemption at the sky-high price of 20,000 yuan crystal.
In the study, Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Han died tragically, all the money in the house was taken away, and Zhu Jiachuan disappeared out of thin air.
When all these are connected together, the case becomes very obvious.
Zhu Jiachuan killed Xiao and his son, then stole a large amount of money and escaped.
In this way, Zhu Jiachuan will be wanted by Zhenwu Division.
Even if Zhu Jiachuan wanted to clear his name, he could not clear himself because Xiao Ziyan's concubine was a witness.
Coupled with his understanding of the Zhenwu Division, he probably won't conduct an in-depth investigation.
After all, all the clues to the case now point to Zhu Jiachuan.
By the time Zhu Jiachuan was captured, probably half a month later, everything would have been settled.
Even if Zhu Jiachuan confesses everything, the Zhenwu Division will close the case with him as a suspect and will not reopen the case.
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh at the fact that he came up with this seamless plan at once.
"Baby, do we want it?"
Su Yu retracted his thoughts and couldn't help but look at Mei Ji in his arms.
Mei Ji blushed, then nodded gently.
At the same time, in the Xiao Mansion, a group of Zhenwu guards surrounded the study room in the manor.
Zang Feng, who was wearing a gold-plated coat with flying fish, walked into the courtyard with a livid complexion, and then walked into the study.
In the study room, Xiao Han and Xiao Ziyan had lost their breath, and blood was flowing all over the floor.
Looking at everything in the study, Zang Feng frowned slightly.
As the Minister of Rites, Xiao Han can be regarded as a high-ranking minister.
And his son has just been promoted to Zhenwu Si Baihu and serves under his command.
It is really puzzling that two people like this died tragically in their own homes at the same time.
Who is this murderer?
Looking around and looking at the traces of the scene, there was no scene of any fighting.
In other words, Xiao Ziyan, an Iron Bone Realm warrior, was killed by the opponent with almost no chance to resist.
It can easily make an Iron Bone Realm warrior unable to fight back. Even if the opponent's strength is not at the Yu Leap Realm, it is at least as strong as the Iron Bone Realm.
Zang Feng looked at Zuo Zuo who was doing the autopsy and said quickly: "What was found?"
Wu Zuo said: "The fatal injury was on the neck. Apart from that, the two deceased people had no other injuries elsewhere. Of course, if the corpses can be dissected, a more specific judgment may be obtained."
Zang Feng then looked at a hundred households who came to inspect the site in advance, and then said: "Xia Wenyang, did you find anything over there?"
Xia Wenyang said quickly: "I have already inquired about the insiders in the Xiao family. The three people in front of me are the guests recruited by Xiao Han. They all have Iron Bone Realm cultivation."
"According to what they said, they heard Xiao Han scream in surprise, and then rushed here non-stop, but they were still a step too late."
"When the three of them rushed over, Xiao Han's throat had been cut, and the murderer had just disappeared without a trace."
"In addition to these three guests, I also visited other people in the house."
"According to one of Xiao Ziyan's concubines, an hour ago, a family minister named Zhu Jiachuan suddenly came to Xiao Ziyan and said that Xiao Han had been poisoned."
"Then Xiao Ziyan hurried out and came to the study."
"Based on the current clues, it is inferred that the murderer should be Zhu Jiachuan. He held Xiao Ziyan hostage, forced Xiao Han to hand over the bank notes at home, and then killed the two of them."
"Zhu Jiachuan is a warrior in the middle stage of the Iron Bone Realm. In addition, he has been the minister of the Xiao family for many years. Xiao Ziyan probably did not set up defenses for him, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of him."
"We are currently sending people to search for Zhu Jiachuan in the city, but in my opinion, he should have already left the city within an hour."
Zang Feng nodded, and then said: "Master Xiao, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was murdered at home. The Zhenwu Division must give him justice and send an order to set up defenses at the four gates of Tai'an City to arrest Zhu Jiachuan. If he resists stubbornly,
, shoot to death without mercy!"
"yes!"
After Xia Wenyang led the people away, Zang Feng looked at the scene in the study again and frowned slightly.
According to the speed at which these three Iron Bone Realm family ministers arrived, when Zhu Jiachuan left after killing someone, they should have been able to stop him before he left.
However, the three people testified that they did not find Zhu Jiachuan after they rushed to the study.
It is not an easy task for a warrior in the middle stage of the Iron Bone Realm to kill a warrior in the early stage of the Iron Bone Realm without any trace of a fight.
Even if it was because Xiao Ziyan was undefended against Zhu Jiachuan, and then because of Zhu Jiachuan's sudden rise, Xiao Ziyan was restrained by Zhu Jiachuan.
But after Zhu Jiachuan committed the crime, he wanted to leave so easily, and under the noses of three strong-minded family ministers.
How can this be done?
This case has several doubtful points that are difficult to explain clearly.
Perhaps only after Zhu Jiachuan is captured can everything be investigated clearly.
However, the longer it goes on, the more difficult it will be to thoroughly investigate the case.
Xiao Han is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Xiao Ziyan is a member of the Zhenwu Department.
The death of these two people will inevitably reach His Majesty's ears.
More than half a month ago, Liu Wenbo, a member of the Zhenwu Division, died.
Just half a month passed, and another Zhenwu Si Baihu died tragically in Tai'an City.
In the past, this would rarely happen once a year.
But in just over half a month, it happened twice.
Will His Majesty really give them enough time to investigate this matter?
When that time comes, even if Zhu Jiachuan was not responsible for this case, they can only blame Zhu Jiachuan for the death of the Xiao family and his son, hoping that the case will be concluded as soon as possible.
"Come here, collect the body and bring it back to the Zhenwu Division, and inform Lord Wu of the matter immediately!"
Zang Feng quickly gave instructions.
"yes!"
Immediately, the personal guards took the order and left quickly.
The tragic death of the Xiao family's father and son in the study at home quickly spread among the dignitaries of Tai'an City.
