Ruyi Jue

In the early morning of the next day, Shi Fengting called together all the deployments in Zizai City in the hall, and told them all about what happened last night. Everyone in Zizai City was shocked for a while, accusing Shi Guanghe of murdering his brother and sister-in-law. Shi brought Hong Lian to the front hall, sat in the corner, and watched quietly.

And the incident of Shi Guanghe running into ghosts late at night in the mansion and confessing to killing his brother and sister-in-law has been fermented in the middle of the night, and it has spread throughout Zizai City, and many residents of the city outside have come to watch, waiting for a reasonable explanation from the city.

There are not many residents in Zizai City. Most of them have been oppressed by Shi Guanghe in the past few years. They dared to be angry with him but dare not speak out. I also saw that the future young city lord was young and handsome, with a dignified appearance, and his words and deeds were gentle and refined. With his gentlemanly style, everyone's minds were floating, and they were a little bit concerned about who should be the assistant to become the city lord.

The biggest highlight of this meeting was the handling of all kinds of matters after Shi Guanghyuk was dealt with.

After all, Shi Guanghe is the Lord of Zizai City. As long as Shi Guanghe's crimes are committed, Zizai City will change hands, and Shi Fengting will take over as the new City Lord of Zizai City.

Therefore, everyone knew that on the surface it was to deal with Shi Guanghe, but in fact it was for the position of city lord.

Shi Fengting looked around at everyone's faces and comforted them: "Everyone, don't worry, Shi Guanghe was taken away by Mr. Gongye last night, let's invite them over now."

Without his warning, someone invited Gong Yeming and Shi Guanghe over early in the morning.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came.

Shi Fengting got a little impatient waiting, and asked, "Where's Shi Guanghe? Why didn't you bring him here?"

"Young master, since we went back last night, the city master has been watched by Mr. Gongye and won't let us see each other." Someone in the hall returned.

Shi Fengting said: "Bring Mr. Gongye over here."

"Mr. Gongye is not in the room either."

The man replied again, causing Shi Fengting to frown.

Hong Lian followed Shen Yufeng and sat in the crowd, lowered his voice and asked him, "Brother Shen, that Gong Yeming must have escaped with someone, right?"

Shen Yufeng just shook his head: "Master is not such a person."

He has confidence in Gong Yeming, the other party is by no means a fleeing person, maybe it's just that some accident happened and he didn't show up in time.What was strange was Yun Lian, he went somewhere, not even Liu Hanyan and his subordinates followed.

Shi Fengting ordered a few more people to invite them, and everyone in the hall waited patiently for a while, finally there was movement outside the door.

I saw Gong Yeming walking in slowly with his head bowed and a gloomy expression.

He is still dressed as a literati and scholar, but the difference is that his calm steps before have become very heavy now.

Seeing him alone, Shi Fengting asked, "Where's Shi Guanghe?"

Gong Yeming said in a sad voice, "The city lord is dead."

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and then they saw the people who had just been sent out carrying a corpse in and put it on the ground.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall took a deep breath.

The corpse on the ground, dressed in fine clothes and bloated, was indeed Shi Guanghe himself.

His eyes were closed tightly, his body was twisted, and there was a long wound running from his chest to his lower abdomen, and a large amount of blood soaked the entire brocade robe.

This kind of death is obviously the result of being cut by someone's sword on the chest ribs and abdomen, resulting in excessive blood loss and death.

Gong Yeming retreated to the side, shook his head and said: "When the sky was about to dawn, someone took advantage of me when I was about to fall asleep, drugged me, knocked me out of the drug, broke into the castellan's room, and killed the castellan. Although I woke up soon , I had a fight with that man, but unfortunately I couldn't take him down, and I was afraid of delaying the injury of the city lord, so I didn't chase after him, and instead came back to treat the city lord, but who knows—"

"Alas," he sighed, and said in pain, "It took half a day to save him, but in the end, he was unable to save the city lord."

When everyone heard this, they began to discuss.

Who would be the one who killed Shi Guanghyuk?

Amidst the commotion, Gong Yeming said again: "Besides, the map of the illusory sea and clouds is gone."

Everyone was even more surprised. They all knew that Huan Haiyun Tu had been carried by Shi Guanghe all this time. Now that Shi Guanghe was dead, Huan Hai Yuntu must have been taken away by the murderer.

It is even possible that the murderer came here for the Huanhai Yuntu.

However, if it is to snatch the Huanhaiyuntu, then it is just to take away the things, why kill Shi Guanghe?

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and everyone was talking about this matter in low voices. At this time, a team that appeared quietly came to the hall.

Shen Yufeng seemed to have a sense of it, looked over and found that the group of people were exactly the group of official guards that Yun Lian and him brought.

They surrounded Yun Lian, randomly found a seat at the back and sat down.

Because everyone in the hall was talking about Shi Guanghe's affairs, their arrival did not attract much attention. Only Shen Yufeng kept paying close attention to Yun Lian and noticed his appearance immediately.

When Shen Yufeng saw him appear, for some reason, he finally felt at ease, and continued to turn around and watch the movement in the hall.

As the discussion of the crowd in the hall became louder, Shi Fengting suddenly said: "Everyone."

The hall fell silent for a moment, only to hear Shi Fengting say: "Since Shi Guanghe is dead, I am now the Lord of Zizai City. However, the boy has no talent, and he is embarrassed to be responsible. There are many things that need to be consulted by the elders. So everyone Do you think we should avenge Shi Guanghe's revenge, or not?"

Although he is still young, he also understands the means of winning people's hearts, and deliberately lowered his status as the lord of the city to win everyone's favor.Everyone really liked his attitude, thinking to themselves that the new city lord was indeed more of a city lord than that old thief Shi Guanghe.

Among them, someone said: "Si Guanghe just died like this. Don't we want to find out who the murderer is?"

"We can't let the murderer get away with it!"

"That is, since the Huanhai Yuntu is the treasure of the city lord, we should take it back to comfort the spirit of the city lord in heaven."

"Bah! Just now I said that Shi Guanghe's death deserves more than guilt, and now he's taking one bite after another!" One person spit out suddenly, "I don't think you can see the map of illusory sea clouds being taken away by others!"

Everyone was talking and quarreling again, Shi Fengting waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, please listen to me."

He calmed down the angry voices of the crowd, and said: "Although Shi Guanghe is full of crimes and crimes, but as my uncle and the lord of the city, we have to avenge him no matter what, otherwise others will think that we Liberty City is easy to bully."

"That's right, what the city lord said is fair." Everyone responded one after another.

Shi Fengting said again: "Furthermore, since the Illusory Sea and Cloud Map belongs to me in Zizai City, we should take it back." His eyes suddenly turned, and he fell directly on Yun Lian, who was at the back of the crowd, and said word by word, " Do you think so, Young Master Yun."

Everyone in the hall shouted in unison, followed his gaze and turned their heads, and at the same time looked at Yun Lian who was sitting behind them.

And Yun Lian, who was surrounded by everyone's eyes, was surprised for a while: "You suspect that I did it?"

Shi Fengting was noncommittal.

Yun Lian chuckled lightly, leaned back on the back of the chair meanderingly, "It's ridiculous, what does the internal turmoil in Zizi City have to do with me as an outsider?"

Shi Fengting also smiled and said: "The murderer came into our Zizai City to kill people and seize things, of course not for Shi Guanghe, but for the fantasy sea and cloud map."

Yun Lian smiled and said: "Illusory sea and cloud map, so what?"

"Everyone knows that Mr. Yun was ordered by the Sixth Prince to get the Illusory Sea and Cloud Map in the city," Shi Fengting said, "but this treasure disappeared after Mr. Yun came to Zizai City."

Yun Lian said leisurely: "And then? In this way, I can be sure that I stole the things? If you follow the theory of the Young City Lord, can I also say that you are the one who has an enmity with Shi Guanghe, so you are the most suspicious Woolen cloth?"

Shi Fengting ignored his tone of voice, and asked again: "Then, Mr. Yun, where did you go just now? Where were you in the early morning?"

Yun Lian asked back, "Should I also report my whereabouts to the city lord?"

Listening to the tit-for-tat conversation between the two, Shen Yufeng was very puzzled. Why did the two seem to be having a happy conversation last night, but today they suddenly fell in love with each other?

Just as he was feeling strange, he heard Hong Lian next to him scolding in a low voice: "Dog bites dog, deserve it!"

Shi Fengting was blocked by Yun Lian's lukewarm words, just shook his head, and then asked the person next to him: "What do you think, Mr. Gongye?"

Gong Yeming, who was stopped by him, raised his head suddenly, and after a moment of astonishment, he came back to his senses, and said, "I don't dare to determine the identity of the figure who fought with me in the morning, but speaking of it, it is indeed somewhat similar to Mr. Yun."

Yun Lian immediately sneered again, and said, "A person who can match up with Mr. Gongye a few tricks must be such a powerful person. Mr. Gongye is flattering me too much."

"That's not right," Gong Yeming shook his head, and said calmly, "Although that person can match me a few tricks, it's not because of his high martial arts skills, but because he has a very careful plan. The man disappeared immediately after jumping out of the window, the time calculation is accurate, and the action is fast, if it is not for someone outside to respond, it is impossible to have such a fast escape time."

Everyone in the hall heard what he said, and they felt that there was some truth to it. According to this, if the murderer really came for the Illusory Sea and Cloud Map, then Yun Lian was indeed the most suspicious.

"Oh, well, anyway, it's useless for me to say anything now," Yun suppressed his smile, sighed faintly, and looked down at his palm, "Since you don't believe me, then I In order to prove my innocence, the only option is death."

He lowered his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not confronting someone, but was talking about where the wine was the best.

Then, at the moment when everyone had no time to blink, he stretched out a palm and slapped his chest awe-inspiringly!

Everyone in the hall shouted in unison.

However, when this palm was slapped, it didn't hit his chest, but was tightly clasped by the other hand.

Hong Lian exclaimed in astonishment: "Brother Shen?"

There was only one person standing beside Yun Lian, with his back slightly arched and his hand bones protruding, he was holding Yun Lian's wrist tightly.

It was Shen Yufeng.

When he was listening to Yun Lian's conversation with Shi Fengting, he had been paying close attention to his words and deeds, and when Yun Lian was moving, he turned around, walked to his side with a few steps, and took advantage of the opportunity to block the palm.

The two people came and went for no reason, everyone in the hall was silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

Shi Fengting spoke first: "You—"

"I believe him." Shen Yufeng said firmly.

Gong Yeming showed dissatisfaction, and even Hong Lian who was beside him called out, "Brother Shen!"

Shen Yufeng ignored it, and still looked at Yun Lian steadfastly: "I believe him."

"You believe him?" Shi Fengting laughed suddenly, "Who are you? What's the use of you believing him?"

Shen Yufeng remained silent, but kept looking at Yun Lian. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but was held back by the other party. Yun Lian raised his eyes and smiled at him, his eyes full of narrow smiles.

Yun Lian leaned close to his ear and whispered to him, "You saved me again."

"Our elder brother Shen is a very powerful person!" Hearing what Shi Fengting said, Hong Lian at the side thought that he didn't know Shen Yufeng's true strength, and hurriedly defended Shen Yufeng.

"Oh? Is that right?" Shi Fengting heard Hong Lian's voice, his eyes rolled and stopped on her face, "Is he very powerful?"

When Hong Lian was looked at by him, she instantly blushed and felt a little guilty, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "Anyway, anyway, Big Brother Shen is a good person, I believe Big Brother Shen!"

Shi Fengting stared at her for a while, then withdrew his gaze, smiled indifferently, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, since Villa Master Shen came forward to intercede, it proves that someone may have been wronged."

He didn't even have a word of apology, and just talked about it lightly.

Shen Yufeng took a step back, Yun Lian let go of his hand, and heard Shi Fengting say: "Shi Guanghe has already been punished, everyone, I'm afraid there is no point in pursuing this matter, Mr. Gongye," he asked Gongye again. Ye Ming, "What do you think?"

Gong Yeming was quite displeased with Shen Yufeng's actions to defend Yun Lian, but for Shen Yufeng's sake, he no longer insisted on embarrassing Yun Lian, and said, "Well, this matter is over."

Shi Fengting said: "Although Shi Guanghe has committed many evils, but at least he is a blood relative, so let's carry him down and bury him properly."

Then several servants rushed up and carried Shi Guanghe's body away.

Hearing what he said, everyone in the hall felt that he was open-minded, and they all admired the new city lord from the bottom of their hearts.

Shi Fengting said again: "Next, I will take over the affairs of Zizai City for the whole process, does anyone think it's inappropriate?"

After he said these few words, no one in the hall made a sound, and it seemed that he was the successor of the city lord, giving orders instead of everyone.

Shi Fengting nodded in satisfaction: "Well, since that's the case, let's go and invite that guy out of the dungeon."

When everyone heard this sentence, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

The one in the dungeon—who was it?

Hong Lian suddenly showed a look of great joy, besides Zhao Linhuai, who else is trapped in the dungeon now?

Shi Fengting actually decided to release her elder brother?

Just listen to Gong Yeming immediately said: "Zhao Linhuai has a special status, he can't be released easily."

Shi Fengting said: "It's not me who has a grudge against Zhao Rin, but Shi Guanghe. Since Shi Guanghe is dead, I don't care about the previous things."

Gong Yeming was naturally unwilling, but looking around for a while, he found that after Shi Guanghe died, all the people in Zizai City turned against each other, and Shi Fengting subdued him properly.Now that Shi Guanghe's situation is over, as an outsider, what qualifications does he have to comment?

He let out a helpless sigh and walked out of the hall dejectedly.

Yun Lian suddenly said: "Young City Lord acted so quickly, but I don't know if you have considered the meaning of the Sixth Prince when you released Zhao Linhuai."

But Shi Fengting retorted: "Master Liuwan is far away, but he can't control me from Zizai City. Since I am the Lord of the city, of course I have the right to choose to release the prisoners."

Hearing this, Yun Lian's expression changed, and his eyes fell on Hong Lian, who was still immersed in self-joy. Suddenly, it was as if he had realized something, and said with a smile: "So you came up with this idea , well, since that’s the case, then I’m here to wish the Young City Lord his long-cherished wish.”

He leisurely withdrew his gaze, and said again: "However, I still want to remind you that if the Sixth Prince finds out about this matter, Zizai City may be in great trouble."

Shi Fengting smiled and said, "Anything you want."

"Okay, it seems that the young city master is a man of his own mind." Yun Lian couldn't help clapping his hands in praise, and then turned around cleanly and left.

Not long after he left, several servants from Liberty City led a tall man into the room.

"Brother!" As soon as Hong Lian saw the comer, she immediately ran into his arms and cried a few times with sobs.

She didn't know why Shi Fengting wanted to help their brothers and sisters for what purpose, but she knew that she had been missing her elder brother for the past few days, and if she could see him sooner, she would be able to relax earlier.

She fell into Zhao Rin's arms and kept crying: "Brother, how are you doing during this time? Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well? Did they abuse you?"

Zhao Linhuai said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Shi Guanghe treats me like an old man, eating and drinking well, it's happier than being a god."

He was imprisoned by Shi Guanghe for five or six days, yet he was still as energetic as before he left, without any sign of depression.As expected, Hong Lian was amused by him, wiped away her tears, broke through her tears and said with a smile: "People have been worrying about you for so long, yet you are still saying these sarcastic remarks."

Shen Yufeng also walked over and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zhao for getting out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Zhao Linhuai bowed deeply, and said: "Brother, thank you for taking care of my sister-in-law during this time. I don't want to thank you for your kindness. Please accept my respect from Mr. Zhao."

Hong Lian also followed behind him, bowing to salute.

Shen Yufeng quickly helped the Zhao family brothers and sisters up: "You two, don't be so polite."

Shi Fengting said from the other side: "How, after a night, has the son thought it over?"

Zhao Linhuai said to Shen Yufeng, "Let's talk later," and then turned to him and said, "I promise you what happened last night."

Both Shen Yufeng and Hong Lian were surprised.It turned out that they had met once last night, and they might have even discussed something. Perhaps, this was the reason why Zhao Linhuai was released.

Shi Fengting made a gesture of "please": "Okay, please come to Shizi."

Zhao Lin responded, "Okay."

He turned his head and said to Shen Yufeng: "Brother, I have been in a hurry several times, and I didn't have time to have a drink with you. You wait for me to discuss important matters with the young city lord first, and then I will come to you after I am done."

"I understand." Shen Yufeng nodded, "Then I will leave first."

Zhao Linhuai immediately nodded, and followed Shi Fengting to the inner room.

Hong Lian didn't know whether she should go or stay, subconsciously just wanted to go out with Shen Yufeng, but Zhao Linhuai suddenly called out: "Hong Lian, come here."

She walked over in a daze: "Brother."

"This matter has something to do with you." Zhao Linhuai took her hand and led her into the inner room together.

***

Shen Yufeng came out alone, and seeing the warm sun outside and the beautiful flowers and leaves, he couldn't help but feel relieved.Now that Zhao Linhuai is out of danger, and Hong Lian has successfully returned to his brother, it seems that everything has been settled.

When it was time for him to retire, he could go home as long as he had explained to Zhao Linhuai.

However, whenever I think of Yun Lian, I always feel bored.

Go back to my own yard, walk to my own bed, undress and lie down, and wake up after a nap, still feel uncomfortable everywhere, especially when I think of the person living in the backyard, there is no reason terribly upset.

This person is pretending, it is really hateful!

Then he got up and dressed, went out of the courtyard gate, and came to a strange courtyard.

After lying down for a whole day, it was already dark, and lanterns were lit everywhere inside and outside the courtyard, and the surroundings were dimly illuminated. Without even thinking about it, he bypassed the gate guards, jumped over the courtyard wall, and came into the courtyard.

Through the dry branches, a bright room can be seen from a distance.

He approached lightly, and heard a gentle female voice: "Young Master, still not resting?"

Hearing this familiar female voice, his heart tightened, and he held his breath tightly.

This is Liu Hanyan's voice.

In the room, Yun Lian lay on the bed covered with brocade quilts, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if in deep thought.

Liu Hanyan didn't urge him, and looked at him with a smile under the lamp: "Then I'll go out first."

"Well, you go to sleep."

He waved his hand lightly, and after waiting for someone to go out and close the door, he lay down quietly for a while.

After half a stick of incense, a gust of night wind blew outside the window, rolled up the treetops by the house, and knocked on the window lattice with a "sough" sound. He seemed to open his eyes, as if he had finally been awakened, and slowly got out of bed. Lights out.

He lay back on the bed, pulled off the quilt, and just closed his eyes when suddenly a black shadow flashed past the door, and then a scorching breath rushed into the room forcefully.I saw Shen Yufeng standing at the head of the bed, pressing his wrist tightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Hand it over!
