Zhao Changhong and four others strode into the Shenyuan Inn. At this time, many warriors were already surrounding Fan Yi in the courtyard.
Jiang Jixue had already stood in the crowd before the four people arrived, and covered her face with a cloak, so outsiders did not know her existence at all.
Mordes was able to remain calm when he saw Fan Yi.
But when he saw Zhong Xiaoqi following Fan Yi, it was like a bolt from the blue.
He never expected it.
Since Fan Yi knew that everyone was coveting his god-level magic weapon, why didn't the young man choose to run away?
If Fan Yi directly chooses to leave Tianlong City, then Mordes can tell everyone.
Liuwanglou only captures the murderer, not the magic weapon. As for who the murderer is, it is too obvious.
He Liuwanglou had the opportunity to take action head-on, which was more justified than the various forces taking action secretly.
Being able to clear the relationship without any scruples is killing two birds with one stone.
Unexpectedly, not only did Fan Yi not run away, but the most annoying thing was that Zhong Laoqi's daughter, Zhong Xiaoqi, was actually following Fan Yi.
This makes no sense. If Fan Yi killed Zhong Laoqi and his daughter was still with him, no one would believe it.
No wonder I arranged for people to search everywhere for Zhong Xiaoqi's whereabouts, but they couldn't find her.
He thought Xiao Qi was being held hostage by secret forces.
Mordes glanced at Yan Niang and said with a smile:
"Xiao Qi, come here and go back with grandpa. Your father has just been killed by gangsters. His body is still cold and he needs to be laid to rest."
Xiao Qi heard what Mordes said, but was so frightened that she hid behind Fan Yi.
Although Xiao Qi is only seven years old, his mind is very smart. He also listened to Fan Yi's analysis earlier.
Xiao Qi stretched out her little finger and pointed at Mordes and said:
"You are not my grandfather. I am only with my eldest brother. I will go wherever my eldest brother goes."
Fan Yi touched the little girl's head lovingly and nodded heavily.
Seeing that he couldn't deal with a little girl, Mordes had to ask Fan Yi:
"When did City Lord Fan arrive at Tianlong City? Why didn't he come to Liuwanglou to sit down so that I could enter into the friendship of the landlord?"
Fan Yi glanced at Modish, but focused on Zhao Changhong.
When Bai Yanfeng saw Fan Yi looking at him, his eyes did not stop at all. This was indifference, and he felt angry.
Fan Yi said calmly:
"No need to be polite, Master Mo. By the way, has the murderer of Master Zhong been found?"
Mordes replied in a displeased tone:
"Zhong Laoqi is the boat master of our Liuwang Tower. No matter who kills someone, he can't escape, so I won't bother City Lord Fan."
Fan Yi said "Oh" and asked again:
"You see, Xiao Qi is only willing to go with me now. Can I take him to see Master Zhong?"
Mordes had a troubled look on his face.
At this time, Zhao Changhong on the side laughed and said:
"Of course you can."
However, after saying the word "yes", Zhao Changhong continued:
"But I have something to ask City Master Fan."
When Fan Yi looked at the middle-aged man, there was doubt in his eyes.
Mordes hurriedly said:
"Master Zhao is the head of our Liuwang Building."
Fan Yi nodded and motioned for the man to continue.
Zhao Changhong laughed again, and then said loudly:
"I heard before that you had some entanglements with Mr. Mo and destroyed a merchant ship in Liuwanglou. Can you give me an explanation for this matter?"
"Otherwise if this gets spread, I'm afraid my face will be disgraced too."
Fan Yizhen had already thought that Liuwanglou would definitely use this matter as an excuse, so he said calmly:
"Master Zhao, haven't Bai Yanfeng and Mo Deshi told you about the whole story of this matter?"
"We all know what we need. Why don't I take Xiao Qi to burn incense for Master Zhong first? After burying him, we can sit down and have a good chat."
Seeing that Zhao Changhong remained silent, Fan Yi continued:
"There are so many of you, are you still afraid that I will run away?"
After hearing this, Zhao Changhong looked at Fan Yi for a long time and said:
"It's ridiculous. You're just a little cultivator in the Fourth Realm. If I were to attack you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stand here now."
When Fan Yi heard what Zhao Changhong said, he took Xiao Qi's hand and said:
"Let's go and say goodbye to your father."
With that said, Fan Yi took the little girl straight out of the courtyard and towards the door, regardless of whether anyone was blocking her.
When Bai Yanfeng saw this, he was about to remind Zhao Changhong, but was stopped by Yan Niang's wink.
Mordes looked at the warriors around him and shouted:
"What are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and find out the whereabouts of the murderer!"
After saying that, he walked towards the door alone.
Seeing Zhao Changhong's unkind expression, Yan Niang could only ask softly:
"Lord, what should we do next?"
Zhao Changhong said:
"This kid is not simple. Since he has said that he wants to give me an explanation, then just go back and wait. After Zhong Laoqi is buried, please ask Mr. Mo to bring him."
Bai Yanfeng wanted to say something else, but Zhao Changhong looked at him with a smile and said:
"Young City Lord, please come back too."
Finished.
Zhao Changhong and Yan Niang turned around and left, leaving Bai Yanfeng standing there, gnashing his teeth with hatred.
Fan Yi took Xiao Qi out of the house, then got into a carriage and rushed to Zhong Mansion.
Mordes also followed with several warriors from Liuwanglou.
By the time the group arrived at the gate of Zhong Mansion, there were already bursts of wailing sounds coming from inside.
Fan Yi took Xiao Qi and walked in step by step.
He could feel Xiao Qi's whole body shaking, and her little face was extremely pale, which was heartbreaking to see.
When they arrived at the lobby of Zhong's house, they saw a black coffin standing upright.
Xiao Qi broke free from Fan Yi's hand in an instant. he
He quickly ran to the coffin, lay on it and cried:
"Father! Father! I am Xiao Qi. Please open your eyes and look at Xiao Qi."
"Father…!"
When everyone saw this scene, they turned their heads to wipe the tears from their eyes.
A long time passed.
Xiao Qi had cried so much that she had no energy left. Fan Yi hugged Xiao Qi and stayed with her to watch the funeral.
In the early morning of the next day, the warriors from the Zhong Mansion carried the coffin out of the door.
Because there is a rule in Liuwang Tower that anyone who has served as a ship owner must be buried in the cemetery opened by Liuwang Tower, where there are people cleaning and guarding it all year round.
Fan Yi and Xiao Qi went to the cemetery together and saw Zhong Lao Qi's coffin being buried before returning to Zhong Mansion.
After the old horse farmer learned the news last night, he hurried to Zhong Mansion and said he would take Xiao Qi over and raise him.
Xiao Qi only said one sentence:
"I want to cultivate with my elder brother and avenge my father."
Besides, no matter who persuades me, it is of no use.
Fan Yi also felt that if Xiao Qi stayed in Tianlong City, he would be bullied again, so he agreed to let Xiao Qi follow him to Wuzong.
By the afternoon.
Fan Yi took Xiao Qi and followed Mordes to the main palace of Liuwang Tower, already having an idea in mind.
This time, he will return the favor in his own way.
