Ye QingChen sized her up and calmly said,""Follow me and tell me everything that happened before and after the Family Annihilation Case.”
"Yes, sir."
Hua Yuenu bowed again and followed Ye QingChen to a hall. Then, she slowly explained.
"A year ago, this servant and Jiang Feng had a private marriage agreement. Later, I became pregnant and did not dare to let the two Palace Masters know about it. So, I hid with Jiang Feng in his family's manor on the outskirts of the Holy Capital to recuperate.”
"Just a few days ago, when I was about to give birth, Jiang Feng told me that he wanted to invite two of his best friends to come over to welcome the newborn. Then, he would use the power of his two friends to lay his cards on the table with the Shifting Flower Palace so that I could openly become the Jiang family's daughter-in-law.”
"On the night before the appointment, Si Chenke and Black Face Lord of the Twelve Astrology suddenly led a large number of bandits into the manor, wanting to commit murder, which shocked my fetus.”
"After I gave birth, my vitality was greatly damaged and I was unable to fight. I could only use the black jade plum blossom to scare away Si Chenke and the others, then I collapsed to the ground.”
"I didn't expect these villains to be so cunning. They came back and exposed my identity. They cruelly killed Jiang Feng and the two babies.”
"Just as they were about to attack me, one of Jiang Feng's best friends, Yan Nantian, suddenly arrived. When they saw Jiang Feng's tragic death, they were furious and killed all the villains of the Twelve Astrology.”
"After that, the two Palace Masters came and wanted to take me away. Yan Nantian didn't agree and both sides fought.”
"Yan Nantian was poisoned by the Twelve Star Forms, and his power was greatly weakened. As a result, he was no match for the two Palace Masters and could only flee in defeat.”
Ye QingChen quietly listened to Hua Yuenu's words and muttered,""How did the villains of the Twelve Astrology learn about you, and why did they come to kill you?”
"I don't know how they got the news," Hua Yuenu said. As for the reason, Jiang Feng's family was well-to-do, and he often carried a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry with him. Si Chenke and Blackface Jun had come for money. They knew that Jiang Feng was on good terms with Yan Nantian, and they were afraid that Yan Nantian would take revenge on them, so they chose to kill him to silence him.”
"You said that Jiang Feng invited two of his best friends. One of them is Yan Nantian.”Ye QingChen asked again.
" The other one is Jiang Biehe, the hero of Jiangnan," Hua Yuenu said gently." He was Jiang Feng's errand boy in his early years. They grew up together and were like brothers. This person had a reputation in the Jiangnan area, and his martial arts were also very powerful. As such, he was invited by Jiang Feng as a bargaining chip with the Shifting Flower Palace.”
Ye QingChen frowned slightly. In the original novel, Jiang Feng was betrayed by the errand boy, Jiang Qin. Later, Jiang Qin changed her name to Jiang Biehe and used twenty years to become the leader of the Jiangnan martial arts world. She was known as the Jiangnan hero. The timeline here was obviously not right.
However, thinking about how this was a world that had integrated 5,000 years of Chinese history, it was normal for it to be different from the original.
"Master, do you have anything else to ask?”Hua Yuenu said.
Ye QingChen shook his head," I've asked everything I need to ask. You only need to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen and repeat what you said."”
"Yes, sir." Hua Yuenu said respectfully.
Ye QingChen called Yao Yue and Lian Xing over and said,""I created the Jinyiwei to clean up the Jianghu of the Central Plains. The Shifting Flower Palace has committed many evil deeds in the past and cannot continue to exist. I will take this opportunity to join the Jinyiwei.”
Yao Yue did not hesitate and bowed.""It's up to Master."
"I'll appoint you as the chief and deputy hall masters of the Heavenly Chief Hall. All the disciples of the Flower Transference Palace will also join the Heavenly Chief Hall. In front of outsiders, you can just call me Your Highness.”
"As you command, Master." Yao Yue and Lian Xing bowed solemnly.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Ye QingChen brought the people from the Shifting Flower Palace back to the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen and arranged for Hua Yuenu to stay there.
The next morning, the Jiang Family Massacre Case officially opened.
Because this case was already known by everyone and had attracted a lot of attention, Ye QingChen might as well open the interrogation hall and allow ordinary people to listen to it to show fairness.
In the main hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there were two invitations hanging on the left and right.
On the right side was written 'Wearing a crown for righteousness' and on the left side was written 'bathing clothes for the public'. The style of writing was vigorous and solemn.
Hundreds of commoners had already taken their positions and were looking forward to it.
The massacre that happened in the suburbs of the Holy Capital had terrified them. They would not be able to sleep or eat in peace until they caught the murderer.
Ye QingChen sat upright on the main seat, preparing to open the hall. Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the hall.
The ceremonial eunuch Wei Zhongxian walked in with steady steps and said solemnly,""Your Majesty, the Jiang family murder case is of great importance. In order to ensure the truth, the Yin-Yang School and the East Chamber have been ordered to jointly investigate it.”
After saying that, Wei Zhongxian revealed a flattering expression and bowed."His Majesty also instructed this servant to listen in and wait until the dust settled before returning to the palace to report.”
Ye QingChen smiled." There's nothing that can't be said to others. Men, take a seat for Eunuch Wei."”
" Thank you, Your Highness Sword King." Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully and retreated to the side.
"The Wisdom King has arrived…"
A chant suddenly sounded outside the door.
Halfway through his seat, Wei Zhongxian quickly stood up and looked toward the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang strode in, followed by Liu Xi and Cao Zhengchun, like two loyal guards.
Seeing Ye QingChen, Zhu Yuanzhang warmly welcomed him,""Today is Ninth Brother's first court session, and it's such a tricky case of extermination. Father is afraid that you'll make a mistake, so he asked me to come over and help you.”
Ye QingChen smiled faintly,"I'm afraid that the Eighth Imperial Brother requested to come here."”
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to reply. He directly sat back on the main seat and said to the guard beside him,"For the two Commanders-in-Chief, Ming Wang and the East Chamber.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed and could only find a seat to sit down.
Liu Xi and Cao Zhengchun looked at each other and bowed in unison."Thank you, Sword King."
At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly poured into the hall. It was as if the moonlight had also surged in, causing the world to lose its color.
When everything returned to normal, a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.
The figure of a woman.
Her light purple long hair was tied up high, her blue moon-patterned short robe could not hide her graceful curves, and her sky-blue eye veil covered her face, making her look very mysterious.
"Yin-Yang School, Moon Goddess greets Sword King.”
The mysterious Yin-Yang beauty said gently in a pleasant voice that didn't contain any impurities.
