The worship of all the sects pushed the excitement of the Phoenix Capital City of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom to the extreme, but after the incident in Shang Zuozhong, everyone's lively spectator psychology was like a basin of cold water on the burning firewood......

After the fire was extinguished, the heat was still there, mixed with some moisture, and the half-dry and half-wet made people more and more uncomfortable.

Because since the lockdown of the city a few months ago, with the permission of the Suzaku Lord, Yuan Canglan has checked people one by one.

It's just that so many Sword Killing Sect disciples who came this time are not good to die, and it is Shang Zuozhong with a special identity who has died! This is something that makes Yuan Canglan extremely headache!

He didn't like this disciple's usual style at all......

Of course, he didn't really want to investigate, but if he didn't check it, he would not be able to explain to the Huang Jian Sword Master when he returned to the Sword Killing Sect! To put it bigger, the marriage between the Sword Killing Sword Sect and the Vermilion Bird Kingdom was a symbol of the peace between the human and demon clans, and at this juncture, this incident happened, and it was not a butterfly effect, and if this marriage was not talked about, the relationship between the human and demon clans would also deteriorate again.

On the surface, this Vermilion Bird Country Lord was also very generous, and sent thousands of spirit guards to assist him Yuan Canglan to investigate in person, and even closed Fengdu City, and strictly restricted people to come and go at will. But in fact, this is a disguised way to put all the responsibility on his Sword Killing Sect, if the person is found out, with his Suzaku Lord's contribution, naturally everyone will be happy, if it can't be found, the future world will only say that if the result is not found out, it is his Yuan Canglan problem, anyway, the Vermilion Bird Lord's efforts have contributed.

Thinking about this, he naturally wanted to refuse at first, but if he decided, it would be equivalent to his own sect not caring about his family's affairs, that is, announcing that the world did not care about this marriage, and he did not care about the Sword Killing Sect at all.

After all, when he was out of the house, what he personally represented was the words and deeds of the Sword Killing Sect, so he did not hesitate to risk offending others in his personal name, and he checked the disciples of various sects. I even used a mirror of inquiry!

Pity...... In reality, he didn't find any clues in the past three months.

Since March, people from all sides have been living in their mansions, closed doors, waiting for Yuan Canglan to come and investigate.

With this turmoil gradually rising, the excitement of Fengdu City is also gradually fading, a dullness and depression like a mist gathered above everyone's heads, and some people with a keen sense of smell are even more aware of what the consequences of this incident can bring, and they immediately transmitted the news they learned back to the sect.

Maybe all the people who came to Fengdu City at the beginning were here to be lively, but now, as the air in Fengdu City has begun to deteriorate, people's hearts have also deteriorated, and most people have changed from those who like to be lively to those who wait and see.

Maybe in a few more months, if Yuan Canglan can't find out something, this marriage will end early, and the watchers who are now in the same city in the next few years will become the ones who fight on the battlefield.

There is a voice that has been suppressed for a long time, and it has silently spread in Fengdu City - the so-called peace between humans and demons is the biggest joke!

......

In a courtyard of Zhu Jiuling's mansion, Mo Wunian and his party had not gone out for several months, and just after Lei Yi had just finished looking for Mo Wunian and leaving, Zhu Jiuling came to find him again.

As the princess of the Suzaku Kingdom, she thought about many things more than an ordinary person, but at the beginning, she never thought that the situation would develop to such a grim level as it is now.

"Mo Wunian...... It's a bit of a big deal?" Zhu Jiuling looked at Mo Wunian's eyes with a little more reproach.

Friends are friends, but she is also the superior of the Vermilion Bird Country, and the things to consider are far more than the momentary pleasure and enmity, but also the long-term development of the Vermilion Bird Country behind it!

The two clans of humans and demons have always had contradictions, and for a long time in the past, the two clans have been fighting each other, so it is very rare to see ordinary monks marrying between the two clans, not to mention the marriage between the Vermilion Bird Kingdom and the Sword Killing Sect now! This coincidence is not something that can be explained by chance.

First of all, Leng Xiaohan, the Daozi of the Sword Killing Sect, and Zhu Lingxuan, the fourth princess of the Vermilion Bird, were in love with each other, and after many consultations between the Sword Killing Sect and the Vermilion Bird Country, the marriage finally came to fruition!

If it's just because of one Shang Zuozhong, all of this will come to naught...... As a party to Zhu Jiuling, he didn't agree at all!

"It's a trivial matter for you to harm my fourth sister's happiness in her life, but if you provoke a war between the human and demon clans again, it will be a big deal!" Zhu Jiuling said to Mo Wunian in righteous words.

"Brother Mo, what the birdman said also makes sense, now this matter...... It's really a bit of a fuss!" Xiao Sanzhu is used to being frivolous on weekdays, but at this time, he also understands the seriousness of the matter.

Even Wu Mu also thought of the various implications hidden behind this matter, but at the same time, she felt that Mo Wunian had always been thoughtful in doing things, and she would not look forward or backward, and she couldn't think of what was going on now.

Compared to them, Mo Wunian was much calmer, and in the past few months, most of his thoughts had been on the few female disciples of the Nine Realms Mountain and Han Shishan who had been rescued, thinking about how to restore their original divine consciousness.

Even, when the three people in front of him were all anxious to tell him about the seriousness of this matter, Mo Wunian was still very interested in picking up the tea on the table and drinking a few sips of tea, he said unhurriedly: "It's very simple, just find a scapegoat." ”。

Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and when they asked him about it again, he only said that the matter would be resolved quickly, so everyone should be patient.

It's so vague

Words, the most difficult thing is Zhu Jiuling, facing Mo Wunian's side, he is her friend and can't confess, besides, what he does is really nothing to find fault with, even if he says it, it is estimated that no one will believe it if there is no evidence. Let's not talk about it...... The happiness of her four sisters will turn into bubbles.

After she sighed helplessly, she walked out of the courtyard with a sad face, and Xiao Sanzhu followed her.

"This time, I think you've gone too far. I can understand your feelings about rescuing these Nine Realms Mountain disciples, but this time it's so irrational!" Wu Mu said to Mo Wunian with some anger!

She didn't like it at all, it was a friend's trick to the detriment of herself, which made her feel that the man in front of her was a little strange, or with her familiarity with him, he should have taken these into account and had a backhand.

So then, she tentatively asked, "Do you still have a backhand?"

Mo Wunian just nodded to her, and then pretended to be mysterious: "Yes, yes, it's just...... I'll have to wait for a scapegoat. ”。

"What kind of scapegoat?"

"Not a scapegoat for good people. ”

Listening to him was always in a fog, and she shook her head when she said she didn't understand.

......

Nearly a month has passed, Yuan Canglan's current mental state is not only bad, it is simply a demon, facing the house where Shang Zuozhong lives, he has turned over every stone, and even dug three feet into the ground, but the result is still not even a clue.

"Do you think it will be a disciple of the Golden Body Sect, a few days ago when I first came to Suzaku, I saw that Senior Brother Shang had a conflict with them. ”

"So...... I remembered that the Three Tribulations Sect also had conflicts with him. ”

Those who investigated with Yuan Canglan naturally also had disciples of the Sword Killing Sect, and if the search was fruitless, they speculated in vain. But as soon as he started talking, he was stopped by Yuan Canglan's stern admonition.

"Do you know that this kind of speculation will set you on fire?" Yuan Canglan thought of far more than these disciples thought.

Before there is no evidence, casually suspecting any sect will make them think that this so-called Shang Zuozhong incident was directed and acted by the Sword Killing Sect itself, and they just don't want to marry, so they will just find a random sect to frame them...... Of course, the logic of thinking like this is rigorous at all! I don't want some sect forces to take advantage of this incident and use this point to exaggerate it! Or maybe they will erect a few more enemies for the Sword Killing Sect!

Then, Yuan Canglan explained the truth clearly for them, and the disciples were in a cold sweat when they heard it, and secretly warned themselves that they must be cautious in their words and deeds!

"This Shang Zuozhong is really not a worry-free guy, and he won't let the old man calm down when he dies!" But this did not prevent Yuan Canglan from scolding Shang Zuozhong for a few words!

The atmosphere in Fengdu City is becoming more and more dull now...... Even a few days ago, the sect master of the three states in the middle of the abyss sent him a message to the messenger, telling him to make sure that this matter was investigated.

It can be seen from this that the sect attaches great importance to this incident! And what worries him even more is that Shang Zuozhong's grandfather, the Huang Qi Sword Master, is rushing to the Vermilion Bird Country, and he wants to come over, not only will this matter not be found out, but it will also make this matter more and more muddy!

At the thought of this, there was a little more sorrow on his old countenance......

Fortunately, when things came to this point, there was finally a turnaround, and he heard a disciple of the Sword Killing Sect appear in front of him and say, "Yuan Court Master! There is a spirit guard in ......."

After this disciple finished speaking, Yuan Canglan said with a touch of joy on his face: "You go and summon everyone to say that I have found the person who killed Shang Zuozhong this time!"

As soon as the news came out, the entire Suzaku City boiled again, and all parties were watching...... Waiting for what kind of reason Yuan Canglan will give everyone!

This time, there is also its absurdity, originally the matter was in the Vermilion Bird Country, and it should be the Vermilion Bird Country side that should be responsible, not the Sword Killing Sect, but because of the particularity of the matter, the party responsible for this matter became the Sword Killing Sect again, so all parties are also curious about what the result will be.

It's just that Yuan Canglan and his entourage controlled the news very hard, and only said that three days later, people from all parties went to Luoxia Tower, and the matter came out, and he would reveal it.

The time of the three knots is nothing to the monks...... So as soon as the three days passed, the Luoxia Tower was full of people, and even the lord of the Suzaku Kingdom came to the Luoxia Tower.

This is a majestic man in a yellow robe, with red hair and red eyebrows, with a gentle smile on his face and greeting everyone who salutes him, but in fact, from between his eyebrows, there is a restrained majesty revealed, probably if he really loses his temper and initiates an order, few people dare not listen.

"I heard that the Yuan Court Lord has caught the disciple who killed your sect in the past few days...... After the emperor finished dealing with the political affairs around him, he rushed over as soon as possible! However, the matter happened in the realm of the emperor, and let the Yuan court master check it alone, but the emperor is not!" The lord of the Vermilion Bird Country said politely to Yuan Canglan.

Yuan Canglan didn't dare to agree with his words at all! When they first talked about this marriage, they were okay to say about the Sword Killing Sect, but the Vermilion Bird side was unwilling! Now this Vermilion Bird Country Lord was even more desperate that the matter of Shang Zuozhong could not find out a result......

"If you say the lord of the country, it is my sect disciple who has made a ridiculous thing and disturbed the people of your country!" Yuan Canglan knew it, but he broke the matter, but politely replied to him.

"Then what did the Yuan Court Master find out about this matter?"

"Alas...... It was my sect's Shang Zuozhong who casually revealed his own spiritual treasure, and as a result, he was coveted by the disciples of other sects, which brought him the harm of killing!"

When the Vermilion Bird Country Lord asked, Yuan Canglan casually perfunctory him, and ordered his disciples to escort a person into the Luoxia Tower.

Everyone looked at it, but it was a man in a gorgeous robe who was escorted in by two Sword Killing Sect disciples and walked in.

"Isn't this Cao Zhifeng, the young sect master of the Blue Sea Sect?"

"Hasn't he always been very close to Shang Zuozhong......?

"You don't understand this, the more familiar people are, the more likely it is that things will happen to hurt people!"

Everyone quietly discussed, and pointed at Cao Zhifeng, who was also a gentleman with Shang Zuozhong!

"I didn't kill it! I didn't kill it! Yuan Court Master, you have to investigate this matter carefully! I really didn't kill the person!" Cao Zhifeng hurriedly begged Yuan Canglan for mercy.

Things have to go back to three days ago A few disciples of the Sword Killing Sect also checked his mansion with a spirit guard, and he didn't have any ideas, so he let these disciples in with confidence. As a result, these people just searched symbolically in the bedroom where he lived, and found a storage bag, and when they opened it, they saw that there were several spiritual treasures inside!

This storage bag was naturally not his own, but Shang Zuozhong, but before he could explain why, he was released by the disciples of the Sword Killing Sect to the Vermilion Bird Palace, which would be brought to the end of the curtain building......

"Then you explain, how did the storage bag in the left middle of my sect merchant end up in your hand?"

"This ...... This ......"

In the face of Yuan Canglan's questioning, Cao Zhifeng couldn't say a word, as if he killed Shang Zuozhong!

Then Yuan Canglan said in a righteous manner: "Let's come to the old man to analyze your motive for killing! A few months ago, a disciple of my sect saw that you and Shang Zuozhong had a conflict, and the cause was a dispute that was caused by a spiritual treasure! And then you sent people to watch the place where Shang Zuozhong lived for many days, which just shows that you have the intention of killing Shang Zuozhong, and you have planned it...... Do you admit it or not?".

Sent someone to Shang Zuozhong's place to wait and see, this matter was indeed done by him, but it was not that he still wanted the spiritual treasure that had a conflict that day, so he sent someone to wait for Shang Zuozhong to report, but unfortunately he was like knowing that someone was coming from his side, and deliberately avoided the people who did not see him!

Thinking of this, Cao Zhifeng shouted that he was wronged, and then said this.

But everyone was in no mood to listen to him explain, and even after the Vermilion Bird Country Lord was a little surprised, he said meaningfully to Yuan Canglan: "The Yuan Court Lord's ability to find people is really clever!"

"The lord of the country praised it falsely!" Yuan Canglan heard it, he had something to say, but he still smiled and gave him a smile again and again.

In fact, it's just about Cao Zhifeng, it is indeed far-fetched to arrest this person, but there are also many doubts...... But he has no choice now, so he can only take the "dirty spiritual treasure" he saw as the right and give Cao Zhifeng a case!

Otherwise, this marriage may really be interrupted......

For the sake of the overall situation, Yuan Canglan had no choice but to sentence a confused case, but to say that he was confused, he was not confused, a few months ago, Cao Zhifeng secretly killed a disciple of the Sword Killing Sect, but because Shang Zuozhong was involved, this matter could only be done by Liao Liao? Now sending this Cao Zhifeng back to the west is not confused.

As for the Bihai Sect behind Cao Zhifeng...... Yuan Canglan doesn't take it seriously, it's just a third-rate sect in the three states of the middle abyss!

No one asked again, and this incident ended hastily! Even Zhu Jiuling, who came with him, looked at Mo Wunian with an incredulous expression.

Thinking of what he said earlier, she kind of understood what was going on......

It's just that...... How could this scapegoat be so coincidental? Why did it contradict Shang Zuozhong, and he still sent people to keep an eye on Shang Zuozhong every day? This coincidence couldn't be more coincidental!

Thinking of these questions, Wu Mu next to him quietly asked first: "I can feel suspicious about this matter...... Wouldn't the Yuan Court Master suspect this trick?"

She felt that with Yuan Canglan's powerful mind of a cultivator, she would not fail to see many doubts in it.

Mo Wunian glanced at her and said, "There must be a lot of doubts, and he must have seen it! It's just that he has to do it so that this marriage can go smoothly." ”。

"Even if he is deceiving himself...... But no one else will doubt it?"

"There will definitely be suspicions, but with his current situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, no matter how clumsy he is, he will deal with it seamlessly, as if it was really Cao Zhifeng who killed Shang Zuozhong. ”

Wu Mu asked again, Mo Wunian replied lightly, he grasped Yuan Canglan's mind very accurately...... He also believed that he would take care of the matter properly.

After hearing this, Wu Mu was also relieved, and she felt that Mo Wunian would think very thoughtfully about the aftermath of the Shang Zuozhong incident, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

At the tea cup time, she whispered these things to Xiao Sanzhu and Zhu Jiuling, and after hearing this, the two of them also felt that Mo Wunian was really methodical in doing things, and there were no omissions, and she really handled things to the point where nothing leaked!

But in fact, Mo Wunian's computing power has not reached the point where it is truly flawless...... As for being able to find Cao Zhifeng, a suitable candidate, it was naturally Gu Jiansheng who told him.

He didn't want to kill a good guy by mistake.
