Di Renjie said," I don't know much about Jianghu. This case is currently handled by my assistant, Li Yuanfang." According to his report, most of the martial artists who were killed were leaders and elders. They had outstanding martial arts skills, especially when they had studied their own martial arts to the extreme. However, they all died in the hands of their own martial arts without exception.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Xing exclaimed,"Using their own methods to return the favor, could it be that this was done by the Murong Clan of Gusu?”
" It might not be the Shifting Stars of the Murong Clan in Gusu," Yao Yue said coldly." It's not difficult for our Shifting Flower Palace's Shifting Flower to achieve this." Moreover, those so-called Sect Leaders and Elders were just a bunch of useless chickens and dogs. It was not impossible for a top-notch expert to forcefully frame them.”
Ye QingChen said," Let's return to the city first. Governor Di, can you transfer Li Yuanfang back? This Prince has some questions for him."”
"Of course, I'll go and pass the order.”Di Renjie replied quickly.
That night, in Jiaxing Prefecture.
Li Yuan Fang hurried back to the main hall.
"This humble servant Li Yuanfang greets Your Highness Sword King and Lord Governor.”
Li Yuan Fang half-knelt on the ground and said in a sonorous and forceful voice.
" The Sword King is heading south to Jiaxing to handle an important case," Di Renjie said." You must answer his questions truthfully."”
"Understood!" Li Yuanfang cupped her fists again, showing a capable expression.
Ye QingChen nodded slightly." I heard that you've been investigating several murder cases in the martial world recently. All the victims died under the hands of their own ultimate arts. Are there any exceptions?"”
"There are no exceptions. Everyone died because of their own ultimate arts," said Li Yuanfang. Moreover, the murderer's martial arts skills were so high that the surrounding people did not hear any fighting sounds before the sect masters and elders died.”
"Do you have any suspects?" Ye QingChen asked again.
"This…I don't have any concrete evidence yet, so I don't dare to say anything." However, those gangs that were attacked unanimously believed that the murderer was the Murong Clan of Gusu. Recently, they had even joined forces to go to Swallow Dock to take revenge on the Murong Clan.”
"What is it? Why didn't you say something so important earlier?”Di Renjie was shocked.
Jiangnan was already in an eventful period. If another large-scale murder occurred in Swallow Dock, he would not just lose his official position.
Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly." Those Jianghu people have never been restrained by the government. This time, the ones who died were all high-level leaders like the Sect Master and Elders. How could I stop them? I rushed back this time to report this matter to the Governor."”
"This, what should we do!"
Di Renjie looked worried. Swallow Dock was surrounded by water on all sides, so he couldn't even send troops to suppress it.
Ye QingChen took a sip of tea and calmly said,""Governor Di, don't be anxious. Leave this matter to me. I have to make a trip to the Murong Clan anyway.”

At this moment, Lian Xing, who was standing behind Ye QingChen, suddenly raised her head and shouted,""Who's spying?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Yao Yue disappeared from the hall like a demon.
A person outside the hall was shocked. Just as he was about to get up, he realized that Yao Yue had already blocked his way.
"Bang!"
A thin man in his thirties was thrown into the hall with a panicked expression.
He had always boasted of his extraordinary strength, but he did not even have the ability to retaliate in front of Yao Yue. His inner energy was sealed and he was thrown into the hall like a dead dog.
"Who are you? How dare you peep at the prefecture!”Di Renjie asked sternly.
"No, no, I was just passing by. He heard nothing and saw nothing.”The skinny man shook his head and said.
" His name is Bao Butong, and he is the follower of the young master of the Gusu Murong family, Murong Fu." Ye QingChen exposed the identity of this person.
Yao Yue nodded." It's indeed the internal energy of the Murongs. This person is acting sneakily outside. It seems that the Murongs are indeed involved in the recent dozens of murders."”
"I'm innocent!"
Bao Butong felt like dying and hurriedly said,"Young Master isn't in Jiangnan right now. I've only heard news that is unfavorable to the Murong family. I'm afraid that someone will cause trouble in Swallow Dock, so I rushed back to support. Those cases were definitely not the Murongs 'doing.”
"Hmph, do you think I will believe your nonsense? Men, take this person to the dungeon and interrogate him strictly!”Di Renjie said mercilessly.
When Bao Butong was taken away, Di Renjie sighed."These people in the martial world are too presumptuous. They don't care about the dignity of the imperial court at all. It was the Sword King's foresight that suggested strict governance of the martial world. Otherwise, it would lead to disaster in the long run.”
Ye QingChen smiled and stood up,""Human lives are at stake. This king will leave for Swallow Dock now. Qi Jiguang, Zhang Han, the two of you stay behind to assist Governor Di and thoroughly investigate the Lu Family Residence case from the beginning. Don't leave out a single detail!”
"Understood!"
Qi Jiguang and Zhang Han cupped their fists and said.
