"You said that the Lu Clan was wiped out?"
Ye QingChen's voice echoed in the hall.
"That's right," Di Renjie said carefully."Could it be that His Highness the Sword King and the Lu Family…"
The rest of the officials also looked terrified.
Among all the cases, the worst was the Lu Family Massacre Case.
The Lu Clan was one of Jiaxing's top merchants, and their entire family of more than a hundred people had been wiped out overnight.
Such a tragedy could not be covered up at all. Soon, it caused a storm in the city, and its influence was no less than the previous Jiang family annihilation case.
If the Imperial Court were to pursue this matter, at least half of Jiaxing's officials would be beheaded, and they, the high officials of the Daoist Manor, would not be able to escape punishment.
Ye QingChen sighed." Governor Di, you might not know this. This Prince's biggest clue in this case is the Lu Family Residence.”
"What?" Di Renjie widened his eyes and said worriedly,""After the incident, I personally went to the Lu Residence to investigate. The place had been burned into ruins, and even the corpses were incomplete.”
Ye QingChen didn't expect this to happen. This didn't match the original novel!
In the original novel, the owner of the Lu family was not only alive and well, but he was also forgiven by Huang Yaoshi.
Although he was not mentioned later on, he was protected by the Eastern Evil Medicine Master Huang, one of the Five Uniques of the Central Plains. Who would dare to destroy his sect?
Now, he could only pray that the antiques and paintings in the Treasure Repository had not been burned, although the possibility was very low.
"Governor Di, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that this case is too important. I have to personally go to the Lu Manor to investigate again.”Ye QingChen said slowly.
Di Renjie hurriedly said," Sword King, you're too kind. Cracking the Lu Family Massacre Case is also the top priority of the Jiangnan Taoist Faction. I'm willing to follow Sword King to the Lu Family Residence personally."”
……
Early the next morning, Ye QingChen and Di Renjie traveled lightly, each bringing a few dozen followers along the river to Jiaxing.
When they arrived at the Lu Residence, the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'faces turned extremely ugly.
All he could see was ruins. It was 30% more serious than the burning of Jiang Feng's manor.
And because it had been a month since the crime, the traces of the crime scene had been destroyed. Even the general appearance of the manor could not be seen.
"Sword King, please come this way."
Di Renjie led Ye QingChen and the others onto a small path that had been drawn. As they walked, he said,""After the murder, the Prefectural Governor of Jiaxing ordered people to seal off the surrounding area. Other than transporting the corpse to the coroner for autopsy, everything else was left untouched.”
Ye QingChen nodded his head slightly and ordered the people behind him,""Go and investigate separately. Pay special attention to whether there are any secret rooms or hidden compartments. In addition, this case is very likely to be the work of a martial arts master. If you find any traces of a fight, report it immediately.”
Du Renjie followed behind Ye QingChen. Looking at his orderly command, he couldn't help but nod his head.
Although he was far away in Jiangnan, he was still a border official and was very clear about the matters of the imperial court.
This Ninth Prince, Sword King, had shocked the world as soon as he stepped out of the cottage. He was indeed not an ordinary person. He might be able to help him survive this calamity.
After searching for a few hours, Ye QingChen even used his Purple Demon Eyes twice, but he still didn't find anything.
Just as he was about to give up, Lian Xing's surprised voice came from a side courtyard.
"I found something!"
Ye QingChen and the others immediately rushed over.
Lian Xing pointed at a hole in the wall and said,"Your Highness, please look here."
Everyone looked over and could not help but gasp.
"What a fierce finger technique. It actually pierced through a two-foot-wide wall with just its force.”Qi Jiguang could not help but be speechless.
Even a martial arts grandmaster's Vital Spirit shield would not be able to withstand such a powerful finger force, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Yao Yue touched the edge of the cave and said,""This finger force is extremely strong and Yang. The internal strength is condensed at a single point without any dissipation. To be able to do this, it must be a Heaven Tier elite. Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and the aura attached to it had completely dissipated. It was impossible to distinguish what kind of internal energy it was.”
Lian Xing said," There are many top-notch finger techniques in the world. For example, Shaolin Temple's Vajra Finger, Gusu Murong Clan's Joined Finger, Dali Duan Clan's One Yang Finger, Eastern Evil Huang Yaoshi's Twisting Finger, Lu Xiaofeng's Consonant Finger, and so on. They can all do this.”
"Do you have any suspects?" Ye QingChen asked Yao Yue.”
Yao Yue pondered." The first suspect is the Yi Yang Finger of the Duan family of Dali. Although there are many top-notch finger techniques in the world, only the Yi Yang Finger has reached the extreme Yang. With South Deity Duan Zhixing's power, it is very easy for him to do this. The second suspect was the Joined Finger. The reason was simple. The Murong Clan of Gusu lived in Taihu Lake, which was the closest to Jiaxing.”
" South Deity Duan Zhixing?" Di Renjie was a little surprised.
Even he, who was an official, was very familiar with this name. He was one of the Five Uniques of the Central Plains, and his cultivation was terrifying.
The most difficult thing was that this person was the Emperor of Great Yan and had always been close to Great Yan.
If he was the murderer, the case would be in trouble.
Lian Xing said," The Dali royal family has always worshipped Buddhism. South Emperor Duan Zhixing is also known for his benevolence. He shouldn't have done such a thing. I feel that this finger force must be the Joined Finger of the Murong Clan of Gusu.”
The Murong Clan of Gusu was a martial arts aristocratic family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. Every generation of descendants would be a world-shocking talent, and they were known as Nan Murong in the pugilistic world.
This family had collected martial arts from all sects in the world and passed down the ultimate technique, Shifting Stars. Whenever they faced an enemy, they would kill the enemy with the ultimate technique that the enemy was most proud of.
He also said that he would use his own way to return the favor!
Ye QingChen suddenly thought of something and looked at Di Renjie,""Governor Di previously said at the banquet that many high-level members of the Jianghu sects have died from their own ultimate arts recently. Is this true?”
