Crossing the Sword

Ling Fei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's worried that you'll feel pressured and it'll affect your normal performance?"

Ye Shisan shook his head and sighed, "How can I say that to you? Every time something involves someone you care about, you lose your mind." After a pause, he continued, "The Green Emperor meant to tell me that unless there is sufficient evidence to point to a new murderer, don't publish any clues casually." The Green Emperor's original words were that if Ye Shisan couldn't figure out everything, he should follow his previous instructions. But after this clue was published, things might not be handled according to the previous arrangements, and all the spearheads would point to the Taihao Kingdom.

Ling Fei was somewhat silent after hearing what Ye Shisan said. Ye Shisan put his arm on his shoulder and said, "Don't be depressed, this is politics. But I promise you that I will do my best to find the real murderer in the next few days. In fact, I didn't tell you the clue just now because I was afraid that you couldn't help but make the clue public. Then I really won't have any way out."

After hearing Ye Shisan's assurance, Ling Fei finally felt relieved and said, "Shisan, who is the murderer you suspect now?"

Ye Shisan said: "After comparing the suspects, Ying Chao and Fang Hua seem to have some suspicion, but not much. The one who really feels a little weird is not them, but..." At this point, his eyes flashed, and he named the biggest suspect in his mind: "Yi Feng!"

After the two chatted, they walked back to the inn together. When they reached the outermost wing room, they found a guard running towards the inner courtyard in a panic. The two felt strange, so Ling Fei stopped him and asked, "What happened again? Why are you running so fast?"

As soon as the guard saw Ye Shisan, he ignored Ling Fei's question and hurried forward and said, "Master Ye, you're back, how great! We've been looking for you everywhere, something big has happened!"

Ye Shisan felt it was a little strange. If the guards of the posthouse were so panicked, it must be something serious. So he asked hurriedly, "Don't worry, Manman, tell me, what happened?"

The guard then calmed down and said, "Yifeng was killed!"

Ye Shisan and Ling Fei looked at each other and said at the same time: "What!"

The scene had been cordoned off. When Ye Shisan and Ling Fei arrived, they were surprised to find Yi Feng standing next to Lan Ling. He looked very haggard, as if he had been seriously injured and had not recovered. Ye Shisan felt strange and asked Lan Ling, "Miss Lan Ling, who is this?" He was wondering in his heart, could he have survived so quickly?

When "Yifeng" heard Ye Shisan talking about him, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "My name is Yi Yu, I guess you are Young Master Ye Shisan, right? I just saw my brother today, and I didn't expect that we would be separated forever so soon. Young Master Ye, I beg you, you must find the murderer and give my brother justice!" At the end, he coughed up blood in a hurry. Lan Ling hurriedly used a handkerchief to help him wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Her attitude was as gentle as possible.

Ye Shisan immediately comforted him with a few words and followed Ling Fei into the house. The guards had now developed a habit of doing this, and after the room was blocked, only Ye Shisan and his companions could enter at will.

Looking around, the tables and chairs were in a mess, tilted here and there, and there were indeed signs of a fight. Yifeng didn't have many wounds on his body, but he was stabbed from the back by a sharp weapon, which not only killed his physical body, but also directly strangled his primordial infant, and it was another walking god! Judging from the width of the blade, the murder weapon should be a long knife.

"What is this?" Ling Fei found blood on Yi Feng's fingers, and hurriedly moved his hand away, only to see two words under Yi Feng's hand that he least wanted to see - Zhuan Meng! The handwriting was very neat, without any objection. This made Ling Fei unable to find an excuse to comfort himself.

When Ye Shisan saw these two words, he felt a little disdainful, but he didn't say anything. He continued to look around the room, trying to find other clues.

At this time, Jingwei also rushed in. Seeing the words on the ground, she immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Zhuan Meng! Why is it him again? How many more people does he want to kill before he is satisfied?" After having eaten Yifeng's barbecue during the picnic, she now has a good impression of Yifeng. So when she heard the news that Yifeng was killed, she rushed over immediately.

When Ye Shisan heard her words, he immediately felt that things might be bad. As expected, as soon as Jingwei finished speaking, the outside immediately exploded.

"What! It's Zhuanmeng again? After he was found out, he must have gone all out and killed us all!"

"Yes, it's terrible. I want to go back home immediately!"

"No! We should go to the Green Emperor to protest and demand the immediate execution of Zhuan Meng! Even if we can't execute him immediately, we have to lock him up first. Since we are here to participate in the competition, he must be responsible for our safety!" And so on. As he said this, he was going to the Green Emperor's palace to argue.

Seeing that the situation was unstable, Ye Shisan immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment." He used 30% of his internal strength to suppress all the noise in the field. After accusing Zhuanmeng last time, Ye Shisan already had a certain prestige here. So when they heard his words, they temporarily stopped talking and planned to listen to how Ye Shisan would deal with it.

Ye Shisan looked at everyone's performance with satisfaction, and spoke again: "Everyone please go back and rest first. Whether this murder was committed by Zhuan Meng is still under investigation. But in order to ensure everyone's safety, Ling Fei and I will go to the Imperial Palace to meet the Green Emperor. Please ask the Green Emperor to send masters to monitor Zhuan Meng, so that he will not have the opportunity to kill people. Everyone should go back and rest with peace of mind." Although the contestants who came to participate in the competition now are all masters with unlimited potential, they are too young after all. Compared with the real masters, there is still a certain distance. After Ye Shisan said this, everyone no longer had any objections.

On the way to the Imperial Palace, Ye Shisan saw Ling Fei's silent expression and advised: "Brother Ling, you don't have to be like this. I believe that Yi Feng's death was definitely not caused by Zhuanmeng."

"But..." Ling Fei thought Ye Shisan was comforting him, but after seeing those two words, he himself began to believe that it was Zhuanmeng who did it.

Ye Shisan looked at him, sighed, and asked, "Looking at Yifeng, it seems that he was killed by a fatal blow, right? And he wrote the words with his own blood. Not to mention whether Yuanying could write after being strangled, even if he really wrote those two words in his last moments, it couldn't be so clear. So, these two words must have been written by the murderer, with the purpose of framing Zhuanmeng." He said it very confidently. Although Zhuanmeng's suspicion cannot be completely ruled out now, at least it seems that Zhuanmeng is the least likely suspect in Yifeng's death.

Ling Fei knew that Ye Shisan was really helping him, and said excitedly: "I..."

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "No need to be polite. However, I would like to ask you to do me a favor and go to Yicangzhu Mountain to investigate some things..."
