When Lin Xiao and Chu Feng walked out of Jiangxing Academy, it was already noon. There were more Jiangxing students coming and going, and the atmosphere was quite noisy.
"Brother Chu, I want to take a stroll. You can go and do your work first without accompanying me any longer," Lin Xiao said.
Since Ye Ling left, Chu Feng has been absent-minded. Lin Xiao certainly knows what Chu Feng is thinking.
It just so happened that he was also going to investigate, so let's just leave here.
"I'm sorry, Ling'er and I haven't seen each other for a while." Chu Feng laughed innocently, feeling a little shy.
"Go." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao." Chu Feng reached out and clasped his fists, and then said a little mysteriously: "I have hidden several jars of good wine in the courtyard. Let's have a drink tonight."
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Brother Xiao."
Lin Xiao stopped Chu Feng and said in a serious voice: "Emotional matters cannot be judged by common sense, but this does not mean that we should get lost in it."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then responded solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Xiao, for the warning!"
Lin Xiao waved his hands and watched Chu Feng leave, then turned around and stepped out of Jiangxing Academy.
Walking on the broad road, two scrolls appeared in Lin Xiao's hands.
One is the map of the Imperial City that I bought yesterday.
The other is the list listed by the great elder.
What happened back then had a wide impact, and Lin Xiao had to investigate it himself before further screening.
Time passes little by little.
Soon, dusk fell, and the golden glow enveloped the entire imperial city.
Lin Xiao looked at the withered ruins in front of him and frowned, his expression a bit ugly.
At this point, he has checked all the family forces on the list, and no one is missing.
Unfortunately, these families and forces have all been reduced to ruins, and no trace can be found at all.
It seems that what Chu Feng said is right. Anyone who was related to Lin Changyuan back then had an extremely miserable end.
Jiang Qianyang's hatred for Lin Changyuan was almost crazy, leaving no way out at all!
"If these families hadn't taken action, who would have rescued my father and Xiyao on the day when the beast tide broke out?"
Lin Xiao lowered his eyes, feeling a little bored.
The only clue is broken.
In the vast imperial city, where should he start?
"Um?"
At this moment, a name suddenly flashed in Lin Xiao's mind - Xue Hanyan.
"I remember the great elder once said that when my father became famous, he had a confidante named Xue Hanyan. The two had a close relationship and talked about almost everything."
"However, the Great Elder doesn't know much about this Xue Hanyan. He only knows that this woman is from the Imperial City and has a mysterious identity. Other than that, he doesn't know anything about it."
"Now that all the clues have been cut off, we can only start with Xue Hanyan..."
After Lin Xiao made up his mind, he swept his body and ran towards the courtyard.
According to what the great elder said, Xue Hanyan has a good status, so he is most likely from a big family.
Perhaps, Chu Feng will understand.
Lin Xiao was very fast and returned to the courtyard before long.
However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard, a mournful cry came over him.
The entire courtyard was filled with an aura of sadness.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao had an ominous premonition.
He walked quickly into the courtyard and saw Chu Nan lying on a corpse, his eyes moist and red, unable to cry bitterly.
As for this corpse, it had already become cold, its whole body was covered with scars, its clothes were ragged, its flesh and blood were blurred, and it looked particularly miserable.
This person was no stranger to Lin Xiao, he was actually Chu Feng!
"How is this going?"
Lin Xiao's heart was pounding and his voice was trembling.
Not long ago, he and Chu Feng visited Jiangxing Academy. The two of them were talking and laughing, and agreed to have a drink tonight.
Unexpectedly, Chu Feng actually died!
Moreover, judging from the scars on the body, Chu Feng was obviously beaten severely before his death.
He was beaten to death!
"Not long before you came back, several Jiangxing students brought Chu Feng's body back. They said that Chu Feng tried to molest Ye Ling, and was discovered by a Jiangxing student named Duan Yu, and a fight broke out between them.
Later, he was finally accidentally killed by Duan Yu."
Although Bei Gongxue's face was expressionless, there was a bit of sadness in her beautiful eyes.
Along the way, she didn't have many interactions with Chu Feng, but she could clearly feel Chu Feng's honesty and simplicity.
Such a simple and kind person died so miserably, and she felt uncomfortable.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
As soon as Bei Gongxue finished speaking, Chu Nan suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, as scary as a wild beast.
"My brother is a good-natured man, how could he be indecent to others? What's more, that person is Ye Ling!"
"My brother once swore to protect Ye Ling for the rest of his life. Since he was a child, he has obeyed Ye Ling and never disobeyed or angered her. How could he molest Ye Ling!"
"What's more, Ye Ling is Brother Feng's fiancée. How can anyone in this world molest his fiancée!"
"I don't believe it, I won't believe it even to death!"
Chu Nan seemed to be crazy.
As he spoke, he kept shaking his head, hot tears fell from his eyes, and his whole body was trembling.
"Chun Nan, calm down."
Lin Xiao drank lightly, but Chu Nan still made hysterical sounds.
"I know, this is all Ye Ling's conspiracy!"
"She must have colluded with that Duan Yu and wanted to murder Brother Feng. Otherwise, how could Brother Feng die?"
"That Duan Yu is also a student of Jiangxing. His strength is definitely not bad. How could he accidentally kill someone!"
Chu Nan was sometimes angry, sometimes gloomy, and his whole person seemed to have lost his soul.
In the end, he knelt in front of Chu Feng's body and cried loudly.
The cries were full of anger and hatred, as well as helplessness and grief.
What he said may be the truth.
But, who cares?
According to those Jiangxing students, Duan Yu is a member of the Duan family and has already joined the Tianxuan Palace, and his status is not low.
And he was just a commoner from a border town who had just entered the imperial city, with a humble status and no power.
No one will care about him.
Not to mention that he would not offend Duan Yu, who had a bright future, because of a corpse.
Lin Xiao walked to Chu Nan, leaned down, and patted his back gently to express comfort.
This incident happened so suddenly that even he found it difficult to accept it, let alone Chu Nan.
"Actually, Brother Feng has known for a long time that Ye Ling is greedy for vanity and regards wealth as life, but he doesn't care at all. He often tells me that he will become a master, and then marry Ye Ling openly and give her a lifetime.
happiness."
"Brother Feng treated her like this, how could she be so cruel? Not only did she slander Brother Feng, but she also took away his sword. Since she didn't like it, why did she take it away..."
Chu Nan cried even more sadly. The voice he spoke made Lin Xiao's eyes narrow and he said, "Sword?"
"Brother Feng's heavy sword was bought with all my silver when he came to the Imperial City to study. He has been carrying it with him for the past five years."
"Why, why did Ye Ling even take it away? That is the only memory that Brother Feng and I have..."
Chu Nan raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao with blank eyes. Now he had nothing.
Lin Xiao looked at the sad and helpless Chu Nan, and then glanced at Chu Feng, his eyes gradually changing from lamentation to sharpness.
Finally, he stood up slowly and said to Chu Nan, "Have you cried enough?"
After the words fell, Chu Nan was stunned subconsciously, his eyes showing doubts.
"If you have cried enough, come with me and I will take you to seek justice."
Lin Xiao spoke calmly.
However, when he looked at Chu Nan again, his eyes were as sharp as a sword!
