Due to the plot, Su Xuan knew who was responsible for Liu Yi's death.
However, in order to pretend that he was really investigating the case.
He still had to make a field trip.
Even if he had mastered the Ethereal Opening technique and could " summon " Liu Yi's ghost, he would have to go to the ground first and find something to use as a medium, just like how he had dug up so much soil in the Soul Break Valley.
Thus, after learning that Su Xuan wanted to leave the palace and go to Left Sima Liu Yi's residence, King Han gladly agreed.
Speaking of which, Su Xuan could actually leave the palace at will. Earlier, King Han had given him a token because he was worried that Su Xuan would be lonely in the palace. However, to Su Xuan, there were only a few places in Xin Zheng City that he could visit.
He wasn't too interested.
With that time, the key was to cultivate honestly and increase his strength.
When he was out strolling, he could use the consumption technique to refine another pill and increase his magic power.
After all, Su Xuan was an immortal master, so there were many things that he couldn't do himself. Thus, to make things easier for Su Xuan, King Han sent a few more guards to follow Su Xuan around.
Due to their earlier good cooperation during the Ghost Soldier Robbery Case, the leader of the guards this time was still Han Jiuli.
The two of them could be considered old acquaintances.
Liu Yi's mansion was huge. Although it was not as luxurious as Ji Wuye's mansion, it occupied a large area.
When Su Xuan and Han Jiuli arrived at Liu Yi's residence, the first thing they saw was the soldiers surrounding it. Su Xuan wasn't surprised by this. As the Left Sima of the dynasty, Liu Yi's status wasn't low. His death was also shrouded in mystery. In order to find the truth, the first crime scene and the witnesses had to be protected.
Han Jiuli stepped forward and showed the King Han's decree. Then, the soldiers guarding the mansion immediately made way for him. At the same time, they looked at Su Xuan, who was following behind Han Jiuli, and their eyes flickered.
Many people in the Han Country knew about this immortal master who could summon the wind and rain, as well as gods and ghosts. However, not many had seen him before. This was the first time they had seen Su Xuan, so they were inevitably surprised.
He didn't know how strong he was, but from his appearance, he was indeed…extraordinary!
As Su Xuan stepped into Liu Yi's residence.
Soon, a beautiful and somewhat delicate woman dressed in an emerald green robe slowly arrived in the hall.
After seeing this woman, Han Jiuli's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Liu Yi's wife to be such a beauty. He couldn't tell that Liu Yi was quite lucky. However, no matter how lucky he was, he would have nothing left after he died.
Han Jiuli immediately retracted his gaze.
As a guard of the Imperial Army, he knew that there were some people that he could not afford to offend. Although he envied Liu Yi's wife for being such a beauty, Liu Yi was still the Left Sima and had an extraordinary status. Even if he died, his wife was not someone that could be easily provoked.
Su Xuan, on the other hand, didn't have Han Jiuli's concerns. His expression was calm as he looked at Madam Hu and said,""I have received orders from the king to investigate the death of Left Sima Liu Yi. I hope that Madam can tell me everything you know!”
Madam Hu nodded. She knew Su Xuan's identity long before she came here. At the same time, she also knew that Su Xuan was the expert beside the King, the one who could summon the wind and rain to resolve the drought.
However, the distance between her and an expert was too far away. Hence, even though she knew about it, she didn't expect to meet Su Xuan. She didn't expect to meet him under such circumstances.
Then, she told Su Xuan everything she knew.
Although she said that she knew everything, in fact, Madam Hu did not know anything. She said that she had fallen asleep early that night. When she woke up the next day, she heard a servant exclaiming and then saw her dead husband, Liu Yi.
It didn't sound like there was any problem, but if one looked closely, there was a huge problem.
Su Xuan sized up Madam Hu and said in a strange voice," From what Madam said, she seems to be sleeping in separate rooms from the Left Sima!”
Madam Hu's expression froze.
When Han Jiuli heard Su Xuan's words, he clicked his tongue in wonder.
Although Madam Hu was older, her charm did not diminish. She was an undeniable beauty. He also knew Liu Yi. He was arrogant and domineering, and liked beauty. In the end, such a person returned home and did not touch his wife at home. Instead, he slept in separate rooms with her. It was really surprising.
Could it be that Liu Yi's seemingly unrestrained appearance was actually a disguise? Could it be that he actually had some hidden illness that he was afraid others would find out, so he deliberately stayed in the Fengshui area?
" I…" Madam Hu's expression froze.
She didn't expect Su Xuan to think of this. However, she was a smart person and quickly explained," As the Left Sima, my husband is busy with government affairs, so he sometimes comes back very late. To prevent disturbing my sleep, he usually chooses to sleep in separate rooms from me when he's handling official matters.”
"But as far as I know, on the day Zuo Sima was killed, he was resting at home!”Su Xuan rejected Madam Hu's explanation with one sentence." It's a rare day of rest, yet the Left Sima doesn't go to rest or spend his money in the brothels. Instead, he still has the mood to handle official business. It's truly admirable.”
Madam Hu's expression changed slightly.
She couldn't help but feel that she was in the wrong.
Although Liu Yi treated her very well, she knew very well what kind of person Liu Yi was. He was greedy, lecherous, and extremely lazy. It was a little ridiculous to say that he was passionate about handling official business.
Other than that, Liu Yi liked to stay in Feng Shui places because she did not allow him to touch them. The Purple Orchid Pavilion in Xinzheng City was a place he often went to.
Madam Hu did not expect Su Xuan to know that Liu Yi liked to go to such places.
Su Xuan didn't continue to point out the loopholes in Madam Hu's words and said,""Bring me to the room where Zuo Sima was killed!”
When Madam Hu heard this, she hurriedly took a step forward.
Even though it was just a few words, she felt an indescribable pressure from Su Xuan. The other party was always able to find loopholes in her words.
She did not want to be questioned by Su Xuan anymore.
Unfortunately, Su Xuan was sent by King Han, so his status was extraordinary. She had no choice but to answer.
