"Master Zhong, the incident happened in the Zhong Mansion, and the Zhong Mansion must give an explanation."
"Only people from the Zhong Mansion know where the lady lives. It is very likely that they are cooperating inside and outside to covet the lady's resources and kill people."
"But there are a lot of ancestors. As long as you hand over the murderer, this matter is over and we will go back home immediately."
Liu Chengyang came up with these three sentences, with a stern expression and a serious tone.
The faces of the Zhongfu family members in the hall changed drastically, Han Jiuping and others' eyes flickered, and Pei Nanjin, who had just entered, frowned slightly.
Gongsun Nuannuan curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "Aren't you bullying people? Oh, the Zhong Mansion is responsible for the death of a person? Then this is Qingyang, is the royal family of the Yan Kingdom also responsible? The Shen family is so prestigious!"
Liu Chengyang said calmly: "This is what the ancestor meant."
Zhong Yan looked at him and saw the relaxed expression on his brows and a meaningful look. He immediately felt funny in his heart. He just wanted to save face.
On his face, he frowned and said, "The only person who knows where Miss Lan Xin lives is probably someone from the Zhong Mansion, right? As far as Zhong knows, there are fifteen people in your escort, why don't you see the other four?"
Liu Chengyang said calmly: "I have arranged for them to do other things. The Shen family has strict rules. Master Zhong does not need to doubt them."
Zhong Yan said with a cold face, silent for a moment: "In seven days, the murderer will be handed over to you!"
"That's best."
Liu Chengyang cupped his hands and led Xiao Tao and others away.
Yu Qingyao hurriedly said: "Husband, how can we hand over the murderer in three days?"
A group of family members echoed.
Zhong Yan smiled disapprovingly, glanced at Pei Nanjin, and said to Han Jiuping and Zhang Dongzhuo: "The two senior brothers are busy with official business, so they will go back to Fangshi first. I can handle it here."
At the same time, he secretly communicated with the two of them and received a positive reply.
"Naofumi, follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Yes, uncle!"
The two went to the City Lord's Mansion. In addition to making it clear that the cooperation would not end no matter where they went, Zhong Yan also gave Qin Ben all the talismans used by mortals in the storage bag - a total of 122 pieces, plus one. Hundreds of spirit stones.
same day.
The whole city of Qingyang is under martial law.
A notice was issued from the city lord's palace, and the city guard sergeants at the four city gates conducted a comprehensive investigation of the people leaving the city and promised to arrest the bandits.
Qin Ben also transferred 10,000 sergeants from the garrison school to search the entire city, almost door to door.
In addition, Zhong Yan promised each of the monks in the Keqing Mansion two spiritual stones to help.
The whole city was in a commotion and uproar. It was said that a sword was hanging over Zhong's house and a disaster was imminent.
Yang Yanqing of the Yang Mansion sighed with emotion: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on it!"
The Taoist lover glanced at her husband's face and curled his lips secretly, "You were the same way back then and almost ruined your family."
Among the guests, Liu Zhengchun looked calm, but in his heart he sighed with regret.
In the city lord's palace, Zhang Shun said suspiciously: "Such a big movement is actually very difficult to have any effect. I don't know what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd."
Qin Ben snorted and laughed: "Who knows, Zhong Yan is so scheming, I think he should be able to solve this matter."
As for the Zhong Mansion, all the monks who came to invite the guests of the family secretly cursed their bad luck, raised objections frequently, and made appointments one after another to leave.
Zhong Yangao sat up, his expression ugly, but he had no choice but to agree, especially since he was below the sixth level of Qi Refining, there was no reason to force him to stay.
In the end, even Wu Yang's fake guests also came together.
"I'm sorry, Master Zhong. We are at a low level in cultivation. I'm afraid I might ruin Master's important work. Please help me. I will return all the spiritual stones I paid previously."
Wu Yang spoke up, and everyone raised their hands.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and Zhong Mansion can come and go freely."
Wu Yang and others breathed a sigh of relief. They all saw the displeasure on Zhong Yan's eyebrows, but they had to do this. If they were implicated and regretted, the Ji Zhu family could not afford to offend them.
At this time, Gu Baiyu tricked Chen Wanmiao over.
"Master Zhong, little sister..."
The words just came out.
Zhong Yan reached out and reached for the void monument, which instantly fell down.
Chen Wanmiao was slapped to the ground with a palm, and her whole body was bleeding and her flesh and blood were blurred.
"Who in our Zhongfu can come and leave whenever they want?!"
The cold voice spread throughout the hall, buzzing in everyone's minds.
The Zhongfu family members all bowed their heads, not daring to express their anger, and the maids knelt on the ground.
Wu Yang and others' expressions changed drastically, their bodies stiffened, they glanced at the corpse on the ground and stood ready.
Even Gu Baiyu, who had been confessed a long time ago, turned pale and his eyelids twitched wildly. He did not expect that Zhong Yan would kill his personality on the spot.
Seeing such a miserable situation for the first time, Gongsun Nuannuan shrank his neck and couldn't help but send a message to Pei Nanjin: "So uncle is so cruel..."
Zhong Yan looked around the hall and said calmly: "I thought she just had a high self-esteem and went in and out of various courtyards in the mansion at will. In fact, she harbored evil intentions and secretly conspired with outsiders to seek wealth and death. With three swords, I told Liu Guards that the real culprit would be caught soon. "
Yan Sandao: "Yes."
Zhong Yan looked at Dong Cao and said in a cold voice: "You are not strict in discipline and you are responsible for negligence. Yun Ning, hand over the maid to the Shen family for processing."
Zhou Yunning: "Yes!"
Dongcao knelt down quickly, her body tense: "Master, forgive me! I will be disciplined strictly from now on!"
Zhong Yan looked at Jiang Ping: "And you, how long has it been? How come the clan rules haven't been drawn up yet!"
Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment, and when she met her husband's cold gaze, her heart tightened. She knelt down for the first time after Yan Sandao entered the house, and said in a trembling voice: "I know I was wrong...I will give you a satisfactory solution as soon as possible." Answer sheet!”
She never imagined that her husband would be angry with her, and she felt extremely aggrieved.
Zhong Yan snorted coldly and moved his eyes back to Wu Yang and others.
Wu Yang, who came back to his senses, took a breath, cupped his fists and said, "Master Zhong..."
Zhong Yan changed his face faster than he could turn the page in a book, and interrupted with a smile: "Zhong Mou said, this matter has nothing to do with you, so you can leave."
The six guests looked at each other, bowed again and hurriedly left the hall.
"It's all gone."
Zhong Yan stood up, smiled at Pei Nanjin and said, "Sorry, I have other things to deal with, so I can't entertain you." Then he called Gu Baiyu, Yang Liu'er and Xiao Xuening to go to the side hall.
Yang Liu'er really knew how to seize the opportunity. He stepped forward and looked at Jiang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, and met his raised gaze. A hint of ridicule appeared in the corner of his mouth, making Jiang Ping clenched her pink fists.
There is a side hall in the first layer of the courtyard.
Zhong Yan took the teacup from Zhong Xiaozhong's hand, took a leisurely sip, and looked at Gu Baiyu.
Gu Baiyu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Master Qi, it's an emergency. I'm sure Chen Wanmiao has not made any preparations."
Zhong Yan nodded and said: "Go and take good care of the person. If there are no variables in this matter, we will deal with it later."
"yes!"
Gu Baiyu left in a hurry, and the person to be detained was naturally the Shen family guard 'Ge Qing', who was controlled in the training room of Yu Qingyao's original courtyard.
Zhong Yan looked at the hesitant Xiao Xuening again and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law Xuening, I heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting? You are especially good at painting. Is it okay to paint a portrait?"
"Back to uncle, I know a thing or two about my body. I can draw an eighty-nine-point portrait of a real person I've seen."
"Have you met Shen Lanxin's maid named Xiaotao? How long will it take to draw three pictures and give them to Liu'er?"
Xiao Xuening pondered for a moment and said carefully: "It only takes half an hour. I will definitely be able to draw my body!"
"Just paint here."
"Yes, uncle!"
Zhong Xiaozhong immediately prepared pen and paper for him.
Zhong Yan said to Yang Liu'er: "You will show the portrait to the death guards later. Guard at the west gate. If you see anyone, follow them. Find a remote place outside the city to kill them. Remember not to leave any traces."
"Yes, uncle, don't worry."
Yang Liuer paused and asked, "Is she the only one? Will it arouse suspicion?"
"Won't."
