Su Bairen was very happy when he heard that Chen Gongzhao was assassinated so soon, and he was also very happy.

At this time, in the city guard mansion, Shi Ziling and Ma Yu sat on the left of Su Bairen, and Luo Linhai sat on the right of Su Bairen.

Shi Ziling said: "Lord Su, I have now found out that the murderers of Chen Gongzhao's father and son are the two masters of the famous 'Dark Dao', and it is likely that one of them is their sect leader. ”

Su Bairen was taken aback and said, "Dark Sect Master, that's the top five masters who can be ranked in the top five in the world today, how could it be related to Chen Gongzhao?"

Shi Ziling said: "This matter is a long story, in the final analysis, it is because of the legend of 'nine yuan clearance, the unity of heaven and man'. ”

This time, not only Su Bairen, but even Luo Linhai was surprised. Although he vaguely guessed in his heart that the assassination of Chen Gongzhao by the people of the "Dark Way" would never be so simple, he also did not expect that Shi Ziling would mention the nine-yuan customs clearance diagram that their royal family had always wanted to get.

Luo Linhai hurriedly asked: "Shi Dutong, what the hell is going on, why is Chen Gongzhao's death related to the diagram of the nine-yuan customs clearance?"

Shi Ziling pondered for a moment, thinking about how to phrase things clearly without revealing too many of his secrets.

Ma Yu on the side took over the conversation and said: "That's the case, we found out from Chen Zhongping that the Chen family had a grudge against Ziling, and not long ago, they specially hired the remnants of the Huang Ting faction from other places to come to Songhu City, wanting to kidnap Ziling's fiancée, Miss Yu, as revenge. ”

"I never thought that the 'jade-faced double evil' Helian brothers were killed by Miss Yu in the Yu family, but Chen Gongzhao accidentally found a map when sorting out the relics left by the Helian brothers, which is not only related to the legend of 'Nine Yuan Clearance', but also brought a catastrophe to the Chen family. ”

Su Bairen, Luo Linhai and the others all stared intently at Ma Yu and Shi Ziling, waiting for them to continue.

Ma Yu continued: "The Dark Dao has been staring at several remnants of the Huang Ting Sect for many years, hoping to get clues from them about the clearance of the Nine Yuan, and for this reason, I have had an unpleasant encounter with Lord Luo. ”

"This time, their dark messenger got the news that the relics left by the Helian brothers in the Chen family have what they want, so they will wait for the opportunity to sneak into the Chen family to seize the map. It happened that Chen Gongzhao's father and son were injured by Luo Wangye and them before, so that they were powerless to resist and died on the spot. ”

"The dark messenger has many ears and eyes, they must have heard that Luo Wang Ye is also in Songhu City, in order to take revenge on Luo Wang Ye, so they will leave the name of Luo Wang Ye on the wall. As for why Luo Wangye and the others had an unhappy quarrel with Chen Gongzhao, and also robbed them of a lot of property, please ask Luo Wangye to explain it himself. ”

Luo Linhai was embarrassed, and Xiong Tianying behind him hurriedly denied: "Where has our prince injured Chen Gongzhao, don't talk nonsense......"

Shi Ziling said: "Lord Luo, the evidence of your night attack on Chen's Mansion to hurt people and rob property is conclusive, if I want to convict you, I can take you down at any time, and I will not release You Tianhua back." I am thinking that you have already returned all your property, and I expect that you did not hurt the Chen family's father and son out of grudges, but probably for a reason, so I will not pursue it for the time being. ”

"The so-called Ming people don't do dark things, why do you bother to deny it?"

The three heroes of Qingcheng all had a big change in complexion, and there had never been anyone who dared to openly say in front of Luo Linhai that they would take him down at any time, Shi Ziling was definitely the first, but even Luo Linhai himself knew that Shi Ziling definitely had such strength. For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.

Luo Linhai sighed and said: "That's it, I'm really unfavorable this year, Shi Dutong is right, Ming people don't do dark things, I'm a dignified prince, since I dare to do it, why don't I dare to admit it?"

The Qingcheng Sanjie behind him heard that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Luo Linhai waving his hand.

Luo Linhai said: "To be honest, it was indeed the four of us who attacked Chen's Mansion on the night more than ten days ago and injured Chen Gongzhao's father and son. ”

"I myself have no grievances with the Chen family, and I have never had anything to do with it, I ...... that day My men saw the wealth for a while, and took some of the Chen family's belongings, and we have returned all of them afterwards. ”

"Now that the murderer of Chen Gongzhao has been determined, I don't want to hide it anymore, the so-called willingness to gamble and lose, the blame is only on me for losing the gamble and having to fulfill that strange gambling contract. ”

"The one who really has a grudge against Chen Gongzhao should be the jeweler Lu Wang who won a lot of money from me in the 'Proud Building', I was just forced to fulfill the gambling contract because of my promise, you should arrest that Lu Wang. ”

Su Bairen was dumbfounded when he heard this, while Shi Ziling and Ma Yu looked at each other and smiled.

Shi Ziling said: "Very good, it is reasonable for Lord Luo to say this, although I have only returned to Songhu City not long ago, but I have heard about the shocking gamble of Lord Luo in the proud building." It seems that the prince is really a trustworthy person, and he would attack Chen Gongzhao, the garrison lord of the city, at night in order to fulfill his promise to a strange jeweler, which is quite admirable!"

Luo Linhai's chest straightened, and he raised his voice: "That's natural, even if this prince loses badly, he can't do anything cheating." I only hate that jeweler Lu Wang for making such a strange request, and I have to do it in order to fulfill the gambling contract, alas......"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "If you let this Lu Wangzhi make the private agreement with him public, I wonder if Lu Dao will give you another problem?"

Luo Linhai's face suddenly changed greatly, just now he was forced to be helpless, and told his private agreement with Lu Wang, and now he was reminded by Shi Ziling, if that Lu Wang holds a grudge in the future and makes more tricky requests, how can it be good?

You Tianhua, who was behind Luo Linhai, understood his master's intentions, and hurriedly said: "Shi Dutong, then please hurry up and arrest that Lu Wang, so that our prince will not have to worry about being threatened by his strange gambling contract." ”

Shi Ziling smiled and said, "I don't know anything about this Lu Wang, let alone what kind of crime should I arrest him?"

"Lord Su, now that the attack and assassination of Chen Gongzhao has been basically figured out, all that remains is to arrest the murderer, as for what crime should be committed by Lord Luo's night attack on Chen's mansion, it is still up to Lord Su to decide. ”

Su Bairen was very embarrassed when he heard it, it is said that Luo Linhai and Qingcheng Sanjie attacked Chen's mansion at night, and injured Chen Gongzhao's father and son, and had robbed a lot of property, according to the law, he must be held accountable, but Luo Linhai's identity is there, he is not only the emperor's younger brother, but also the commander of the Yellow Dragon Legion, the largest army in the capital, it is not an easy task to bring him to justice.

Su Bairen looked at Luo Linhai and then at Shiziling, and really didn't know what to do.

Luo Linhai on the side was also a little apprehensive in his heart, although the facts have been explained clearly now, even if his crime is to be punished according to the law, it should not be a big crime, but with Shi Ziling, a top master, if he really wants to take down him, the prince, and take him to prison on the spot, it is too faceless to spread the rumors. He was also a little nervous for a while, and he didn't know how Su Bairen would decide.

Shi Ziling saw that Su Bairen couldn't make up his mind for a long time, so he glanced at Ma Yu.

Ma Yu comprehended, stepped forward and said, "Master Su, Lord Luo, I have a compromise, I wonder if the two of you are interested?"

Su Bairen knew that Ma Yu had always been resourceful, and hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly." ”

Luo Linhai also knew that Su Bairen was very embarrassed, since Shi Ziling's partner Ma Yu had a way, of course he was willing to listen to it.

Ma Yu said: "The matter of Luo Wangye and Qingcheng Sanjie and the four of them attacking Chen's mansion at night to hurt people and rob property should naturally be handled according to the law, but first, Chen Gongzhao is dead, and secondly, Luo Wangye and they have returned all their property, I suggest that Luo Wangye and the Chen family should be private." ”

"If Chen Zhongping is willing to accept the private, we only need to declare to the outside world that this is a misunderstanding between the Chen family and Lord Luo, and then the matter will almost be over. In this way, the reputation of Lord Luo was preserved, and the Chen family was also compensated by Lord Luo, and everyone was safe from then on, and they also had a reasonable and decent explanation to the people in the city. ”

"As for the assassination of Chen Gongzhao, of course, it is a different matter. ”

Luo Linhai was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "This method is good, as long as Chen Zhongping is really willing to be private, I am willing to pay them some more money." ”

Su Bairen thought that this was not a bad way, as long as he didn't get into trouble with Luo Linhai, and he could give an explanation to the people in the city on the scene, he was also willing to accept such an arrangement.

Su Bairen said: "Ma Yu, do you think Chen Zhongping will be willing to accept your arrangement?"

Ma Yu said: "Ziling and I saved Chen Zhongping from the killers of the 'Dark Way' that day, and it can be regarded as a life-saving grace for him, if the two of us come forward to mediate, I believe Chen Zhongping should be willing to sell face to us." ”

Luo Linhai hurriedly said: "Then trouble Ma Gongzi and Shi Dutong, how much money you said you would lose, I will give it to you immediately, it is best to end this matter quickly, I really want to go back to the capital as soon as possible." ”

Ma Yu said with a smile: "Then please ask Lord Luo to take out 100,000 gold coins, I think Chen Zhongping should be acceptable for the sake of me and Ziling." ”
