Chapter 186: Speculations and Truth (Part 1)

"Next, Wang Po, confess your illegal deeds."

"Your Excellency, I am a matchmaker, a matchmaker, a hugger, and a concubine. In private... I can also talk about romance and be a 'Ma Bo Liu'."

The so-called romantic love is naturally the love that violates etiquette, laws and morals. To put it bluntly, it is to match married men with other married men to have casual relationships.

Ma Boliu is a pimp who introduces business to rich bosses.

"Well, the method is quite wild. Tell me in detail. I would like to hear it~" Yi Chen's expression brightened up slightly.

"I received money from a senior official to help match young girls and wives. That day, Jin..."

——

"Next, Fan Guiwu. As soon as I heard your name, I felt that you were not a good person. Confess your illegal deeds immediately."

"Your Excellency, in order to settle down in Tianfeng Mansion, I had no choice but to sell my wife and children..."

"Stop talking, it's a waste of rice!"

"Someone, use the dog fight! Now! Immediately!"

This person reminded Yi Chen of a certain electronic pet in his previous life who sold his wife and daughter. He became furious and increased his strength.

…

Yi Chen used the bewitching power of the sixth level of Yin-Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique to its fullest extent. It was extremely efficient and had an effect on these minions.

Based on the principle of strictness, severity and speed, all human traffickers were executed, with the lighter punishments being mining and eating potatoes and the more serious punishments being beheaded. For a while, there were countless heads of people killed outside the yard.

Cart after car of corpses were transported out, and countless forces were silenced and countless people applauded! The people did not want to hear false confessions, but only the sound of righteous beheadings!

As time slowly passed, the moon was already at its zenith without us noticing.

"Sir, do we have to stop here today?" Master Li said with a sad face. He and his staff had been busy all day without touching the ground. They had to take turns to eat and he was almost unable to hold back.

"Whatever!"

"Everyone has worked hard today, so I will triple your allowance."

As soon as these words were spoken, Master Li and his staff instantly became excited again.

"Sir, we can still go on!"

What is wolf culture? Only when you feed people are you a wolf. Wolves eat meat, and dogs eat shit.

If you give people 3,000 copper coins a month and expect them to work for you, they will only teach you a lesson and tell you that cheap things are not good.

This is also the reason why Yi Chen demanded money from the major families as soon as he arrived.

Yi Chen used Feng Linsu's reputation and his own strength as endorsement, and now he has established absolute authority in Tianfeng Prefecture's Zhen'an Division.

Since he did not touch the lifelines of the major families, but only attacked some gray and black industries, the major families would not fight with him for their lives. He had great skills in judging the right measure.

When it comes to cutting sausages, if you cut too much, it will easily rebound, and if you cut too little, the desired effect will not be achieved.

…

…

In the end, Yi Chen let Master Li and others go back and rest.

He has a lot of use for this group of staff, and it would be a waste of time if they were to become too busy.

"Xu Xiaoxun!"

"Mrs. Frost!"

"Yinhuan Demon Sect!"

"Seventh Prince!"

Yi Chen pinched his brows, looked at the big words on the desk, and fell into deep thought.

Although the trend of missing people in the entire Tianfeng Mansion would definitely improve under his planning, he was still confused about Xu Xiaoxun's death and had not made any progress.

The four words in front of him were the most important points he had extracted to break the deadlock! And the core of it was the cause of Xu Xiaoxun's death.

"The first one, homicide!" Yi Chen picked up the pen and wrote another line of small words.

According to Qi Yuan, Xu Xiaoxun had been investigating the missing persons case in Tianfeng Mansion, which had become a knot in his heart. His whereabouts were secretive and his expression was worried before his death. If he was murdered, he must have had solid evidence, which forced the person behind the scenes to choose between two evils and have to kill him!

But if that's the case, where did his wife go?

Xu Xiaoxun was born in an ordinary family, but he was able to sit on the position of the governor of Tianfeng Prefecture and suppress Qi Yuan. This shows that he is also very intelligent and strategic. Killing one is killing, and killing two is also killing. There is no need to treat his wife differently.

Unless... it was his wife who killed him? This person was the one planted by the man behind the scenes next to Xu Xiaoxun? Or, Xu Xiaoxun sensed the crisis in advance and asked his wife to hide with the evidence? "The second possibility is suicide!" Yi Chen picked up the pen and wrote down another possibility.

He might have thought about this too.

The reason why Yi Chen was able to turn the situation around so quickly was because he took advantage of the situation, his own powerful cultivation, and his ruthless and precise methods.

The situation Xu Xiaoxun faced was different. Tianfeng Prefecture was full of self-proclaimed kings, and they seemed to be uniting to restrain him.

Although his cultivation is not bad, it is definitely not top-notch. Even if he faces the head of the Huang family, I am afraid he is still inferior to him.

"Could it be that Xu Xiaoxun is planning to use his life to win the game?"

"Why is he so desperate? What did he find out? Is the opponent so powerful that he can't get effective sanctions without this method?"

"Using your own life to attract the attention of higher-ups, just to seek justice for those who have disappeared in Tianfeng Mansion over the years?"

"Fuck, that's not right. Where did he find someone with the Peripheral Illusion Heart-stimulating Palm to do that to him?"

"Could it be that his mysteriously disappeared wife knows this magic?"

Hiss! Yi Chen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He suddenly remembered a key point.

Yin Huan Xin Jiu Palm.

If it was homicide, the murderer would have chosen this method in order to muddy the waters.

If it was suicide, then naturally he wanted to make big news. Now that the world is changing suddenly and people are uneasy, a pacification envoy died in his mansion under the spell of the Yin Huan Demon Sect, which will certainly attract a lot of attention.

The Zhen'an Division will not rest until this matter is thoroughly investigated.

This is a big deal.

"So, Brother Xu, you want to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. Even if you can't punish the person behind the scenes, you want to make this person afraid to do such a shameless thing in Tianfeng Mansion?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yi Chen's pupils suddenly shrank! "A sad song becomes a smile, and a thousand rounds of strong wine!"

"Brother Xu, are you really playing such a big game?"

If this guess is true, Yi Chen would have some understanding of why he was ambushed and killed halfway.

If Xu Xiaoxun was just using the Yin Huan Demon Sect as a trigger to link his death with the Yin Huan Demon Sect and draw the attention of the Zhen'an Division.

Then the person behind the scenes must have seen through Xu Xiaoxun's plan and intended to attribute his death to the Yinhuan Demon Sect.

Killing the special envoy sent is undoubtedly a good choice.

By then, even if the Yinhuan Demon Sect clarified the misunderstanding and no fighting broke out, the person behind the scenes would have gained precious time to maneuver.

"They are all werewolves."

"If that's true, Xu Xiaoxun must have made some arrangements. I just need to wait for the evidence to come to my door and for the people Xu Xiaoxun arranged to come to my door."

"What I have to do now is to show my determination and gain the trust of the people arranged by Xu Xiaoxun, and make them believe that I will not make peace with the person behind the scenes."

"If this is true, then the person from Tianfeng Mansion who could force a pacification envoy to such an extent is about to be exposed."

"Seventh Prince, is that you?"

After some deep thought, Yi Chen picked up his pen and circled the names of the Seventh Prince and Madam Shuang with a red pen.

He decided to dig deeper into these two key figures.

"Well, in this case, I can't be lazy. All the criminals I caught must be reviewed by me. I must provide a proper channel for those who want to contact me."

With this thought in mind, a handsome guy who wanted to be lazy and delegate his work felt helpless again.

Boom boom boom.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened with a creak. Yi Chen looked up and saw a centurion coming in with a few guards carrying a table of food.

"Master Yi, you have worked hard. This is a little midnight snack that my brothers and I bought at the restaurant."

"You guys, hey, don't do this next time."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Sir, I call Shangguan, and I have important information to report."

"Sit down and eat, and talk while you eat."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing Yi Chen's firm attitude, Shangguan was no longer polite and began to tell his story.

"Your Excellency, I am a native of Tianfeng Prefecture. I have learned something through special channels, and I think it may be helpful to you."

"Some time before Lord Xu got into trouble, he had contact with an orphan named Xin Wushuang. Then Xin Wushuang suddenly disappeared. Not long after that, Lord Xu got into trouble. I felt there was something wrong, so I dug deeper."

"This time I have dug up something interesting. Xin Wushuang had a younger sister, twelve or thirteen years old, who has been missing for more than a year. Xin Wushuang has been looking for his sister. His parents died early, and he and his sister depended on each other for survival, relying on the help of the tribe members to barely survive."

"Is there anyone else who knows this information?" Yi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Probably not. I just found out about it accidentally through my family's connections. If it weren't for my family's connections, others wouldn't dare to say many things." Shangguan said hurriedly.

"So you think that the Zhen'an Division has spies, right? That's why you came to report this to me under the pretext of delivering midnight snacks."

"I dare not, I am loyal to you!" Shangguan knelt down on one knee.

"I dare not lie to you, sir. My hometown has lost a large number of people every year. This matter was suppressed by an unknown force. Many colleagues who investigated this matter have suffered unexpected consequences. The huge Tianfeng Mansion is becoming increasingly desolate. My lord, my heart aches. If it were before, I would not dare to do so, but now I also want to do my part."

There was a gleam of determination in Shangguan's eyes.

"I will remember your contribution. Don't tell anyone else about this. Eat your food."

…

…

The bright moon sets in the west, and the night is as cool as water.

Yi Chen opened the window and fell into deep thought facing the bright moon.

There are still many people working silently on this case.

These people may be suppressed by the cruel reality, forced to be slick and dormant, but if given the opportunity, they still have bright hearts and their blood is still hot.

Based on the secret report to Shangguan today, Yi Chen felt more and more that Xu Xiaoxun must have mastered something, as well as the disappeared Xin Wushuang.

"Master Xu, what on earth did you do?"

With a long sigh, Yi Chen closed the window, and the room fell into darkness. Only the Thunder Jade still emitted a faint fluorescence.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Arc flashes.

One day later, in the lobby of Zhen'an Division, Yi Chen pinched his brows and leaned back in his chair. The sturdy mahogany chair made a creaking sound under the weight.

At this time, there were many files and documents on his desk, especially those of the Huang family, which were spread all over the floor.

As the investigation deepened, he discovered some interesting things.

food.

Tianfeng Prefecture is a land of fish and rice.

The Huang family is the largest grain merchant in Tianfeng Prefecture.

However, although the Huang family purchased so much grain, there was a not-so-small gap between the grain they sold and the grain they purchased.

If it is a business strategy of hoarding goods, it does make sense.

It’s okay if it’s upside down for a year.

This happens every year.

There has always been a stable gap.

Such detailed data is only possible thanks to Xu Xiaoxun's diligent record collection over the past decades.

"Could it be that the Seventh Prince is really behind this?"

"Unfortunately, it's just a dream to think that you can defeat the Seventh Prince with this little thing."

"You can just find a scapegoat and say that someone below you did it without telling them, or try to evade the main issue. You have no way to deal with it."

Just when Yi Chen was feeling a headache, Qi Yuan came over with an excited look on his face.

"Sir, we have found out. I am so happy."

"It turns out that the Madam Shuang that Lord Xu lives in seclusion with is actually Yin Rushuang, a true disciple of the Yin Huan Demon Sect. We have all been deceived. Now it seems that Lord Xu must have been murdered by the man next to him. This makes everything make sense."

"Really?" Yi Chen stood up suddenly, his pupils shaking violently.

"It is absolutely true. After many secret visits and coincidences, I have obtained the evidence."

"Good! Good! Good! The Yin Huan Demon Sect has done this. I want to see what they have to say. Qi Yuan, send a smart and capable captain to the Yin Huan Demon Sect and tell them what explanation they have."

"Brother Qi, please take a little more effort and report the situation here to Lord Feng. Lord Feng will make the decision."

"Brother Qi has made great achievements this time. I will definitely speak well of him. I'm afraid the word 'secondary' should be removed from his head."

Yi Chen showed a look of surprise.

When Qi Yuanxing hurriedly took the order and left, Yi Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.

He did not doubt the authenticity of the information Qi Yuan provided.

But he still felt something was wrong.

What a coincidence, it feels like the pillow appears when you feel sleepy.

Qi Yuan thought that he must have investigated Madam Shuang for quite some time before he came. Today, he accidentally found out her true identity, which made him feel a sense of design.

After calling Master Li over and whispering a few words to him, news soon spread throughout Tianfeng Mansion that Xu Xiaoxun had died at the hands of the Yin Huan Demon Sect and that the imperial court would soon question and declare war on the Yin Huan Demon Sect.

Now that the situation has changed, Yi Chen still cannot determine who killed Xu Xiaoxun.

But there was one thing he was sure of, the Seventh Prince was definitely not clean.

Unfortunately, this thing can't do anything to this person. Even Yi Chen can think of a hundred ways to cut off his tail and survive.

All he can do now is to cut off the trend of population disappearance in Tianfeng Mansion. However, this is only a temporary solution and he cannot be a stubborn dweller in Tianfeng Mansion.
