Chapter 186 Is He Reliable?



As soon as Yu Zimei said this, countless noble ladies immediately stared at Ning Xiaotang with indignant eyes.

It's like a sharp weapon that makes people tremble.

But at this time, Ning Xiaotang walked over boldly and reached out to hold Ye Jingxiao's hand.

"I have been Mr. Ye's best friend since childhood. Are you jealous?" Ning Xiaotang held Ye Jingxiao's hand with a childish look.

"Even if you are jealous, you can't show it! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Ye Jingxiao's words made all the noble ladies lower their heads instantly.

Everyone was as frightened as a little fool and didn't dare to resist at all.

But at this moment, Yu Zimei and Xiao Fenggu immediately bowed and said, "Please King Chen, please investigate why the rocks on the back mountain rolled down. Perhaps it's because someone's blessing book caused the rocks to warn you!"

As soon as Xiao Fenggu stopped talking, Yu Zimei looked up and smiled: "I beg King Chen to investigate this thoroughly!"

Yu Zimei was absolutely certain in her heart that this rock could only be a warning from God!

Ning Xiaotang immediately looked towards the dark place quietly, and Ling Hu disappeared there quietly, and flew up to the rocky mountain.

When Ling Hu arrived, he saw that the rocks looked like they were separated naturally, but Ling Hu immediately found the place where they were man-made.

After doing everything, just step aside and wait.

Not long after, Ye Jingxiao and his group went up the mountain.

"This rock was blasted open by humans!" Xu Qingfeng immediately saw the location found by Ling Hu.

These words startled Yu Zimei so much that she clenched her hands tightly.

"What's going on?" Yu Zimei asked Luo Zhong.

"Replying to the girl, someone might have deliberately leaked our explosives traces."

"Step back!" Yu Zimei stood in the crowd and was not very conspicuous.

But Ning Xiaotang saw her at once: "Miss Yu, why don't you explain why there is a piece of Luo Zhong's clothes here?"

Yu Zimei was terrified and said, "Impossible! Luo Zhong has always been by my side and has never left!"

"Luo Zhong, come out!" At this time, Ning Xiaotang saw Luo Zhong who was about to leave in the crowd.

His hand was clinging to the missing corner.

"I don't know when the corner of my clothes got torn. I haven't worn this clothes for a long time. I just happened to have nothing else to wear today so I took it out and put it on."

Luo Zhong was panicked for a moment, but he immediately realized that as long as he denied it, no one would know that he had been to the mountain.

"No! He just came back down the mountain!"

A cute little girl immediately stood up and said.

When everyone looked, they found that it was County Magistrate Luo's daughter, Luo Xiangtao: "Miss Luo, you can't say such things. You must have evidence!" Yu Zimei immediately became nervous.

"Evidence? Then why not invite my father to come for trial?" Luo Xiangtao immediately said with great momentum.

"A trial? Luo Xiangtao, do you, a mere county magistrate, think you can just try my Yu family?" Yu Zimei had to protect Luo Zhong, otherwise, if she went to Luoyu without Luo Zhong's protection, how would she cross the mountains alone?

"Isn't it enough that I saw Luo Zhong coming down the mountain with my own eyes? Do we need other witnesses?" Luo Xiangtao frowned.

"Ms. Luo, tell me what happened when you saw Luo Zhong." Ning Xiaotang immediately stepped forward and said to Luo Xiangtao.

"I saw Luo Zhong holding his left shoulder with his right hand, with a little blood between his fingers. He hurried down the mountain. Not long after, I heard a loud noise behind him."

"That's right. Luo Zhong must be the one who blew up the mountain! Yu Zimei, do you have any explanation?"

Chen Yilan immediately stepped forward and glared at him fiercely.

"Luo Zhong has always been by my side and has never left. I have the evidence you need. Fu You, Feng Cai, and Sister Xiao Fenggu can also testify to this!"

Yu Zimei said that she would not let anyone capture Luo Zhong no matter what. Her life-saving talisman, her chance to get close to Ye Jingxiao and go to Luoyu together in the future, could not disappear like this!

"Hmph! Luo Zhong, tell me where you went just now?" Ning Xiaotang lost her patience at this time and asked the person involved directly.

"Miss Ning, I have been staying with my daughter the entire time and have never left!"

Luo Zhong was an assassin after all, and he looked at Ning Xiaotang steadily while speaking, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

Ning Xiaotang was secretly puzzled at this time. The corner of Luo Zhong's clothes appeared on the mountain, but she had no other evidence to incriminate him.

"Since there's no way to prove Luo Zhong was the one who blew up the rocks, I think we should hurry down the mountain and start the camellia banquet so the Queen doesn't have to wait any longer!"

Yu Zimei came out in time to attract everyone's attention, and everyone immediately left the mountain.

After everyone left, Ning Xiaotang stared at the broken part of the rock and felt secretly angry.

"Luo Zhong, I will definitely find out whether you blew up the rocks or not!" Ning Xiaotang said to herself secretly in her heart.

"Ling Hu, did you see Luo Zhong when you came up?"

"Miss, Luo Zhong is very cunning. There is no trace left when my subordinates came up, and the rocks look like they fell off naturally."

"So, we almost became the targets of Yu Zimei and Luo Zhong's scheme!"

"Exactly. If the rocks fell naturally, then only three of these noble ladies are new members of the Camellia Club this year. If they want to create the illusion of a warning from heaven, they must be pointing directly at these three girls!"

"Very good. Although Ling Hu couldn't immediately prove Luo Zhong's guilt, breaking Yu Zimei's divine warning is still a great achievement. I will give you a full monthly reward!"

Quan Yue immediately took out ten taels of silver and gave it to Ling Hu as a reward.

"Thank you for the reward, young lady!" Ling Hu immediately stuffed the banknote into his arms.

At this time, Banyue said, "Miss, are you still looking for that little girl named Luo Xiangtao?"

Just as Ning Xiaotang was thinking, Ye Jingxiao came back and said, "Let's go! I'll ask Xu Qingfeng to check all this. I guarantee there will be a perfect answer!"

Ning Xiaotang glanced at Xu Qingfeng. "Can he be trusted? Asking him to kill someone would probably guarantee the mission is accomplished, but asking him to investigate a case would probably be worse than asking the county magistrate himself to do it!"

Xu Qingfeng: "..."

Ye Jingxiao took a look and said, "Luo Xiangtao and Luo Zhong had a conflict when they entered the Camellia Club, so many people won't believe Luo Xiangtao's testimony!"

"But I still want to believe Luo Xiangtao. I will ask Luo Xiangtao for more details later."

The camellia party went on as scheduled. The Queen Mother and other noble ladies burned incense to the mountain god, and then bowed several times before sending the Queen Mother away.

At this time, Ning Xiaotang attracted the attention of a young lady, "Ning Xiaotang, do you believe what I just said?"

Luo Xiangtao immediately walked over and stared into Ning Xiaotang's eyes.
