Crossing the Sword

Ye Shisan paid his respects to the Green Emperor. The Green Emperor knew that if he did not send out masters with sufficient deterrence, it would be difficult to stop the public from talking about it. So he immediately sent out three immortal masters to monitor the Zhuan League around the clock and announced the news to satisfy the people. He then told Zhang Tianya to solve the case as soon as possible. If another murder case occurred under such circumstances, it would not be possible to handle it according to the previous preparations.

After receiving the order, Ye Shisan went back and told the guards to protect the scene, then went out with Jingwei, Baiyu and others for a barbecue. Of course, he also called Ying Chao and others, as well as the three people from the Jiuli tribe. He did this to fulfill his promise to treat Ying Chao to barbecue during the trip. More importantly, Ying Chao and Fanghua were both suspects, and Zhang Tianya asked them out this time to test their opinions.

As for Ling Fei, he went directly to Zhushan halfway and didn't even go to the Qing Emperor's palace.

After several people prepared everything according to their own skills, Zhang Tianya started his barbecue career again. This time, everyone seemed to want to appreciate Ye Shisan's skills, and they gathered around the campfire instead of going to Yaochi to play in the water. They all watched Ye Shisan's clever skills very seriously. Xing Tian, ​​who was sitting in the downwind, was roasted and took off his coat, but still refused to leave.

While Ye Shisan continued his work, he accidentally saw a black tiger tattoo on Xing Tian's arm, which looked lifelike and ready to pounce. Out of curiosity, he asked casually, "Brother Xing Tian, ​​this tattoo on your arm is nice. I remember when we first met, you were wearing a leather vest, but it didn't seem to have this tattoo?"

Xing Tian asked with some doubt: "Tattoo?"

"Oh." Ye Shisan realized that he had inadvertently used a modern word again, so he had to explain: "It's the tiger on your arm. How did you make it? The technique is very good."

After hearing this, Xing Tian said proudly, "This is the unique mark of the Jiuli tribe. When I met you, I hadn't joined Jiuli yet, so of course I didn't have this mark. And this mark is also divided into levels. The one on my arm is the highest-level black tiger. The following are five levels: red, green, blue, white and gray. And only the direct descendants of Jiuli and those who have the trust of His Majesty Chi You and several great princes can get this honor of the black tiger. This is a symbol of status in Jiuli!" Looking at him, he seemed to be very satisfied with his tattoo.

Ye Shisan couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that in modern times, tattoos are the easiest thing for the police to target. After a crime occurs, people with tattoos are usually the first suspects. Unless they are determined to be a gangster, few people are willing to leave these things on themselves.

But Ye Shisan would not say these words to his face. Not only did he not say them, he also casually praised Xing Tian. Then he casually asked Chi Tong, "Then there should be a black tiger on the arm of Prince Chi Tong, right?" After saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Fang Hua, but immediately dismissed the idea. He thought to himself that if he asked to see Fang Hua's arm, Xing Tian might be so angry that he would chop him with an axe.

Chi Tong did not pretend, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a purple-gold tiger tattoo. He then put down his sleeves and said, "This is for the royal family only."

After a while, the meat was ready. As they ate, Ye Shisan asked everyone, "Do you have anything to do with the deaths of Kualeng and Yifeng?" He asked directly, but he did not mention any one person. He just asked in general terms, so as not to cause dissatisfaction. Of course, he did not think that the murderer would take the initiative to admit that he was the murderer. He just wanted to observe his expression and try to find some flaws.

After hearing what Ye Shisan said, Jingwei immediately stood up and said angrily, "Hey! Good egg, what do you mean by asking this? Are you doubting us?"

On the contrary, Ying Chao at the side did not seem to be unhappy. He opposed Jingwei's advice and said, "Brother Ye is in charge of this case, so it is reasonable for him to ask. Princess Jingwei should not blame him." He showed Ye Shisan a smile that all men understand, paused, and continued, "On the night when Kualeng was killed, I was discussing with Houyi how to deal with you. Fengsi was there at the time, and we did not close the windows. The guards outside can also testify. When Yifeng died just now, the three of us were practicing martial arts in the yard, and there are also guards who can testify."

He did not directly say whether it was him, but he had listed the evidence of his alibi to clear himself of suspicion.

Then the others listed their alibis. Fang Hua was mostly with Xing Tian, ​​but there were no other witnesses. However, Xing Tian didn't help her hide it, which showed that she was telling the truth. The suspicions of the two of them were small to begin with, and after hearing the explanation, Ye Shisan simply ruled out all their suspicions, and the group continued to eat barbecue happily.

There was no conversation that night. The next day's opponent was Yu Hai, the son of the sea god Yu Qiang. Ye Shisan wanted to have a good spell battle. Yu Hai suddenly stood up and raised his hand and said, "I know my water spells are no match for Ye Shisan, so I give up!" After saying that, he sat down directly, which made Zhang Tianya, who was full of fighting spirit, very depressed.

"Hey, Ye Shisan, you finally made it to the next round without any bloodshed. I'd like to congratulate you first." At some point, the goddess Ba came over and made fun of Ye Shisan when she saw Yu Hai give up. However, seeing her treacherous smile, Ye Shisan couldn't help but think of the legendary Grandma Wolf.

With a helpless bitter smile, Ye Shisan admitted defeat and said, "So it's the beautiful girl Ba? Tell me, what is your purpose this time?"

Tiannvba rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Hmph, do I have any purpose in looking for you? You are insulting my personality, do you know that? Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my mental loss?" Even Tiannvba herself didn't realize that she, who was usually serious, couldn't help but want to argue with Ye Shisan every time she saw him.

Ye Shisan knew that she wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail him, so he laughed and said, "Ah, Tiannuba, I didn't expect that my little misunderstanding would cause you such great mental damage. I really want to blame you. I really have nothing to compensate you. How about I marry into your family as a son-in-law?"

When Tiannu Ba heard this, her face flushed red, and she said coquettishly, "Go to hell!"

"Oh, it turns out that the beautiful Ba was just joking with me. She didn't really want any spiritual compensation from me. I was just overthinking it. With a mean heart..." and so on.
