Chapter 21: Intrigue and Compromise

As soon as the sky was bright, in a hall of the Yushen Villa, the owner of the village, Luo Feng, sat in the middle, and on both sides were the direct lines of the main door, including the second master Ma Xiongzhi and the third master Cao Yilan.

Luo Feng glanced at the seat with a serious expression

"I think everyone knows, there was a bloody case in the Miscellaneous Servants Division last night, the miscellaneous disciple Lu Youcai was killed, and the suspect Liu Ren intercepted him on the spot, thanks to the second master."

Ma Xiongzhi hurriedly stood up and bowed to the owner

"Ma Xiongzhi is in charge of the internal affairs of the Imperial God Villa, which is a matter of duty. The murderer Liu Ren killed his fellow disciples, and he should be executed in accordance with the rules of the village, and he hoped that the owner of the village would give an order as soon as possible to appease people's hearts. ”

Luo Feng frowned, Ma Xiongzhi obviously wanted to force himself to kill Liu Ren.

At this time, Luo Fanchen stood up, a little angry

"Before the matter is investigated, he is going to kill Liu Ren, and the second uncle is inevitably too anxious."

Ma Xiongzhi snorted coldly, "The matter is not obvious, what else needs to be investigated? When Lu Youcai died last night, he Liu Ren was the only one at the scene, he didn't kill him, who killed him?"

The third master, Cao Yilan, also stood up

"Liu Ren and Lu Youcai are both miscellaneous disciples, and the relationship between the two is very good, why should Liu Ren kill him, it is not half beneficial to himself"

"Yes, Liu Ren has no motive to commit the crime, and this matter still needs to be investigated," Luo Fanchen continued.

"Hahaha" Ma Xiongzhi looked up to the sky and laughed three times, "Don't say anything about the motive for the crime, what I have is evidence to prove that the murderer is Liu Ren!"

"Oh?

The owner Luo Feng became interested and couldn't help asking.

Ma Xiongzhi clapped his hands confidently, and the two little servants outside the door gave the order, carried Lu Youcai, who was already dead, in, and gently put it on the floor of the hall.

Lu Youcai's body was covered with a white cloth, and after a night, there was already a faint special smell emanating from it, and many people couldn't help but cover their noses, and even Luo Feng frowned slightly.

"Lift the white cloth!" Ma Xiongzhi ordered.

A small servant obediently lifted the white cloth on the corpse, and what was shown in front of everyone was, of course, Lu Youcai, who had been dead for four or five hours.

The corpse had a knife stuck in its chest, and the blood stains were somewhat dry. Lu Youcai only has this wound all over his body, which shows that this knife is his fatal knife.

Ma Xiongzhi slowly walked towards the corpse, showed a cold smile, grabbed the hilt of the knife, and pulled out the murder weapon.

"Everyone can see clearly, this knife is the murder weapon that killed Lu Youcai! Dare to ask me that there are so many people in the Imperial God Villa, whose weapon is a knife, huh?"

Ma Xiongzhi asked as he showed the murder weapon to everyone.

"Then Liu Ren said that his weapon is a knife, and he also used a knife to defeat Black Wind yesterday!"

I don't know who mentioned it, and the whole hall began to talk.

"Liu Ren used a knife, he must be the murderer"

"That's right, he must have killed Lu Youcai!"

Ma Xiongzhi was very satisfied with the current situation, returned to Lu Youcai's body, and threw the blood-stained knife on his chest again.

"Everyone is right, in the entire Yushen Villa, there is only one person who can use a knife, Liu Ren! The murderer is not him, who else will it be?"

Of course, Luo Fanchen didn't believe that it was "Liu Ren" who killed Lu Youcai, "Liu Ren" had just finished eating with him last night, and he killed someone in a blink of an eye, which was a bit incredible.

"Why did Liu Ren kill his own companion? Who saw that Liu Ren killed him with his own hands?"

Ma Xiongzhi was stunned for a moment, turned to face the young owner who asked questions, smiled weirdly, and then called to a small servant

"You, take that thing out"

"Yes"

The little guy took out a bloodstained silver ticket from his bosom, with the three big characters "10,000 taels" written on it.

Ma Xiongzhi snatched the 10,000 taels of silver tickets and shook and looked around

"This bloody silver ticket was found from Lu Youcai, and the number at the bottom is the same as Liu Ren's bounty silver ticket, what does this mean? It means that this silver ticket is Liu Ren's!"

Ma Xiongzhi showed the key evidence, and the people in the entire hall began to believe that Liu Ren was the murderer.

"10,000 taels of silver, and Liu Ren has just gotten his hands on it, how can it appear in Lu Youcai's place? It can only be explained that it was Lu Youcai who stole Liu Ren's silver ticket, and later the two had a dispute, and Liu Ren killed him with a knife! Although Lu Youcai stole the silver ticket first, the crime was not death, and Liu Ren's charge of tyrannizing and killing his fellow disciples was still established!"

After Ma Xiongzhi finished speaking, he presented the silver ticket to the table in front of Luo's cover.

Luo Feng picked up the silver ticket and crushed the blood stains on the silver ticket, looking more solemn.

"It seems that it's really Liu Ren, I don't see it, he's really a well-dressed beast."

"Miscellaneous disciples really can't change their despicable character!"

Luo Feng looked at the people under him, knowing that if he didn't make a decision again, it would cause resentment, although Liu Ren was extremely talented, but the stability of the Imperial God Villa was the most important, so he made up his mind to execute Liu Ren.

At this time, Luo Fanchen seemed to have discovered something suspicious, and walked in front of Lu Youcai's body in a few steps.

"Fanchen, what are you doing?" Luo Feng asked.

"I found something suspicious" Luo Fanchen pried open Lu Youcai's clenched fist, and his eyes lit up.

The corpse clutched a few threads tightly, and there were traces of blood in the nails.

Luo Fanchen showed these threads to everyone, with some excitement on his face

"Look, the corpse is firmly holding these threads in its hands, it is golden, and the material is very familiar, it is obviously from the direct disciple, there are still blood stains in the nails of the corpse, Lu Youcai must have been entangled with the murderer, tore the collar of the other party, and scratched him If I am Lu Youcai, at the moment of death, I will definitely leave evidence on the person who killed me. I'm sure that the person who killed Lu Youcai must be a direct disciple, and the reason why he used a knife was to blame others!"

Luo Fanchen's words made the boiling hall immediately quiet.

The silk thread in the hands of the corpse is conclusive evidence, even more convincing than the knife in the chest!

Ma Xiongzhi trembled with anger, but he was helpless. At the end of Lu Youcai's life, he tried his best to leave the truth of the matter.

And Luo Feng's heart is even more difficult to choose, the direct disciple can be said to be the nobles of the entire villa, and no one can easily move.

Luo Fanchen placed the silk thread on Luo Feng's table, took three steps back, and then bowed

"Luo Fanchen asks the owner of the village to investigate this matter thoroughly, even if it is a direct disciple, it must not be tolerated!"

Everyone's faces kept changing, the direct disciples may have something to do with them, it doesn't matter if a miscellaneous disciple dies, but the direct disciples are different.

"Fanchen, are you coercing your father now?"

Luo Feng squinted his eyes, not knowing what it was like in his heart.
