Zhongfu, Kusei-in.

After Pei Nanjin and Su Yue finished the interrogation, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhong Yan is in trouble because of this, or even a life and death crisis, she feels guilty and can't face the master's entrustment and explanation, even if the master can't come back.

Now, she can't understand the senior sister more and more.

"If the master is still here, it shouldn't be allowed to do this......"

Pei Nanjin sighed lightly in her heart, but she also knew that the senior sister was for Qifeng.

Gongsun Nuannuan, who was sitting at the table in the living room with his chin propped up, saw his senior sister coming out, got up and stepped forward and said, "Fifth senior sister, I saw you leave Taoyuan that night and went to the backyard!" ”

Pei Nanjin glanced at her and asked with a blank face, "What do you want to say?" ”

Gongsun Nuannuan looked at it with suspicion and said, "Fifth Senior Sister, those two women can't be killed by you, right?" ”

Then he thought about it and said: "No, the concubine that Uncle Shi newly accepted was definitely not killed by you, the wound is not condensed, the power is not strong, and the cultivation is not high." ”

Pei Nanjin neither admitted nor denied it, and changed the topic: "In a few days, we will leave Qingyang." ”

"So fast? I haven't had enough of it! There are a lot of delicious foods in my uncle's house, but I haven't tried them. ”

"Don't you want to go out to sea?"

"Oh, that's fine."

Gongsun Nuannuan nodded his little head, and said with a look of pity: "Uncle Shi is running the Colosseum, and I originally wanted to watch the fighting beast and go to sea again." ”

Pei Nanjin said: "After the Mangdang Mountain experience, we passed through Jingcheng, where there is a large Colosseum. ”

Jingcheng is one of the three major immortal cities in Yan Kingdom, where monks gather.

Gongsun Nuannuan clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay! Then I'll go to Uncle Shi and prepare some special food for me to eat on the way! ”

Pei Nanjin hurriedly stopped and said, "Uncle Shi has something to do, you can just go find Mrs. Dongcao or Mrs. Yan." ”

Gongsun Nuan Nuan let out an 'oh' and said with a smile: "Fifth Senior Sister, you also think that the food of Uncle Shi's family is delicious!" ”

Pei Nanjin's face was a little unnatural, the specialties of Zhongfu were indeed special, and she had eaten them several times.

……

Late that night.

Zhong Yan summoned the maid Xiao Tao alone.

Shen Hongtao, who was originally worried, had no worries on her face, and asked, "Master Zhong invited me over because he had something to order?" ”

Zhong Yan looked at her with a smile and said, "You seem to be very relaxed?" ”

"Isn't this exactly what we want?"

"Are you too optimistic? It was the Shen family's young lady who died, not a cat or a dog, I gave an explanation here, so what about you? ”

The maid's face changed slightly.

Zhong Yan continued: "Whether the murderer is an evil cultivator in the potential city, or Ge Qing among you, it is your poor protection, especially you, who followed Miss Lan Xin's side without any notice and prevention in advance, allowing the murderer to succeed!" ”

Shen Hongtao's eyes flashed with nervousness, and she stared at Zhong Yan and said, "You fooled me before?!" ”

Zhong Yan smiled: "Flicker? If your ancestor strictly orders to find out the real culprit, we will all do our best, and in the end, even if we can't find it, the punishment will be smaller, at least the crime will not lead to death. ”

"And now, such an understatement only takes a face, a scapegoat, although I don't know the specific reason, but you will be held accountable when you go back."

In fact, Zhong Yan had already asked Lin Zhengping from Yangquanfang City, and got accurate news that it was the three disciples of Qifeng who personally came forward to go to the Shen family in Changning.

This made him doubt the previous inference that 'the murderer was Pei Nanjin'.

After a pause, Zhong Yan Zhengse continued: "Are you sure you can resist the Shen family's inquiries when the time comes?" For example, if you are found to have colluded with me and prevaricated, what will be the result? ”

"I said before that we were tied to a boat and would intercede for you, but the result is unexpected, I'm about to get off the boat, so what about you?"

"You decide for yourself, if you want to leave, I can arrange for you to leave, oh, by the way, it's best to return the magic weapon to Liu Chengyang for safekeeping before leaving, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee that you can leave completely without being hunted down."

After speaking, Zhong Yan picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.

Shen Hongtao's eyes flickered, and she turned around and left after being silent.

Zhong Yan looked at her back and added: "You are still young and have good qualifications, this walk is to leap with the sea and the sky is high for the birds to fly, instead of betting on the hope of vitality." ”

Shen Hongtao's footsteps paused slightly, and she continued to walk out.

Three days later.

After thinking about it again and again, Shen Hongtao, who was still hesitant, finally made up her mind, took the initiative to find it, asked for two hundred spirit stones, left the Zhong Mansion, and flew away from the West City Gate.

At noon the next day, Yang Liu'er returned the two hundred spirit stones, and the matter was done.

So far.

Zhong Yan completely relieved the breath in his heart, Shen Lanxin's death was over.

Only the last step is missing.

Zhong Yan and Yan Sandao left the house, escorted the murderer back, and sent him to Liu Chengyang.

It is a seventh-level male cultivator of Qi refining.

During the Lantern Festival gathering, a new casual cultivator in Qingyang insulted and provoked the matter of 'Master Hu Cong', and he asked Pang Baodu and others to kill him with 'three hundred spirit stones'.

This 'murderer' was one of those standing behind the deceased.

was asked by Zhong Yan to arrest Han Jiuping and Zhang Dongzhuo in advance.

Liu Chengyang: "Master Zhong is trying his best to arrest the murderer, I will wait to see it, and when I return to Changning, I will show the ancestors one by one." ”

Zhong Yan smiled: "This is what Zhong Fu should do. ”

In the evening, after setting up a send-off banquet, Liu Chengyang and others found that Shen Hongtao was gone.

After some inquiry, I learned from the maids and guards of the Zhongfu that they left alone and never came back.

The nine guards looked at each other.

Someone said: "A few days ago, I saw that she was unsettled, was she afraid that she would be angry with her ancestor when she went back and fled?" ”

Liu Chengyan frowned, but he also knew that Shen Hongtao, as Miss's personal maid, had food, clothing, housing and transportation together, and when Miss died, she was indeed guilty and could not escape punishment.

Fortunately, those magic weapons were handed over to him.

Zhong Yan said loudly: "The city gates are under martial law everywhere, and there are monks present to supervise, and I will ask the city gate guards tomorrow." ”

The result was naturally as planned, Shen Hongtao showed her identity as the maid of the Shen family, and went out from the West City Gate under the pretext of going out to do errands.

A guard said: "It's been a few days, I don't know where to flee at the moment, this, it won't affect us, right?" ”

Liu Chengyang: "Leave her alone!" ”

The next day, the group escorted the 'murderer' away.

The entire Qingyang City was in an uproar.

And that's the end of it?

I thought that Zhongfu would face a storm that was inevitable, but I never thought that I would just find a substitute for the dead ghost and end it.

The monk who had witnessed the 'turmoil of three hundred spirit stones' at the Lantern Festival gathering was even more speechless - Zhong Yan also used a knife to kill people.

made many monks secretly label Zhong Yan - he will repay him.

The other monk who stood in line with the provocateur went out of the city overnight away from Qingyang, for fear that Zhong Yan would turn his head and make trouble for him.

The death of Miss Shen changed so quickly that the original recruited Sanxiu was heartbroken.

Especially Wu Yang and others, they couldn't regret it, not only lost the opportunity, but also invisibly offended Zhongfu.

Yang Yanqing, who learned the details from Bai Siyuan, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't know where this guy is exerting his strength." ”

In his heart, he hoped that something would happen to the Zhong Mansion.

City Lord's Mansion Qin Ben was also a little dazed, obviously not expecting such an ending.

Sergeant Zhang Shun pondered for a long time, but he hit the nail on the head: "It is estimated that Zhong Yan has come forward to Qifeng." ”

Qin Ben pursed his lips and pondered.

Zhang Shun said again: "This time is different from the past, and in this situation, the stronger Zhong Yan's backer, the more beneficial it is for us......"

Regarding the rumors in the city, Zhong Yan laughed at them.

The day after Liu Chengyang left, Zhongfu set up a banquet to invite Han Jiuping, Bai Siyuan and others to express their gratitude.

He also sent 100,000 taels of silver to the City Lord's Mansion as a reward for the sergeant who contributed this time.

As for Shen Hongtao?

A maid is not qualified to let the Shen family spend materials to make a soul card for it, which belongs to the evaporation of the world, which cannot arouse any suspicion.

A storm, the dust settled.
