Starting from the time when Mang traveled through Joy of Life, he fabricated the myths of the heaven

Chapter 349: Jade City Affairs (Three chapters in one)
That night.

"Tomorrow is the deadline for solving the case. Something must be happening in Yucheng tonight. Do you want to go and watch the fun?" Shen Qingzhou asked.

"Go, Escort Captain Shen." Fairy Liangyi's words were a bit sarcastic. Calling him Escort Captain was to remind him that you were still protecting the escort. What's the point of leaving the escort behind and running around alone?

"Brother Wei, Chief Huang is the strongest escort in our Tianxia Escort Agency except for me. Do you look down on him?" Shen Qingzhou naturally understood the meaning behind the words of Liangyi Fairy and said.

Fairy Liangyi glanced at the yellow dog that Yu Qiushuang was holding and didn't know what to say. You said this dog is particularly greedy. She got along well with the dog along the way, but you are fooling people.

"Captain Huang." Yu Qiu Shuang tapped Da Huang's nose and said jokingly. She didn't believe it either. However, a martial arts master would not be exposed so easily. Just try to be a little malicious towards it. It has internal strength that is rare in the world.

"Let's go." Shen Qingzhou held Yu Qiushuang in his arms. Fairy Liangyi also knew martial arts, so she used her light skills to keep up.

When they arrived at the Yucheng City Lord's Mansion, Shen Qingzhou carried one person in each hand and easily climbed to the top of the mansion without causing any commotion.

Suddenly, Liangyi Fairy felt her body warm, and a furry dog ​​head was right next to her. No, where did this dog come from?

Of course it followed up. Dahuang is an animal with a different body structure from humans. It can climb up even a cliff, let alone a roof like this.

"There's movement over there, follow me." Fairy Liangyi was being carried around again, and she was already used to it. Although she knew Qinggong, she was definitely not as terrifying as Shen Qingzhou, who was still so powerful even with two people.

"This is Yun Jiao's residence." Yu Qiu Shuang blushed and deliberately leaned close to Shen Qingzhou's ear and whispered.

Shen Qingzhou felt that Yu Qiu Shuang was going a bit too far. He knew that Yu Qiu Shuang didn't want to be exposed, but you could just speak a little more quietly. Just look in my ear. Why did you deliberately get so close? However, he didn't hide. It's not a bad thing for a beautiful woman to have a good impression of you.

The Liangyi Fairy covered Dahuang's mouth tightly. Dahuang was confused. I didn't want to bark. Dahuang is a very sensible dog, a pure Chinese pastoral dog.

Several people were watching what was going to happen. A man in black was closing the door. Shen Qingzhou saw his face. This was the man who shot the golden needle.

"Yu Mulan, Yu Hongzhu's husband, what does he want to do?" Yu Qiu Shuang continued in a low voice. Her sister hurt her, and she didn't want to call her sister brother-in-law.

However, it can be seen that this woman is indeed kind-hearted. Your best friend is the murderer, so what are you worried about?

Suddenly, there were some noises in Yun Jiao's room and the lights suddenly came on.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time. Turn around and show your face." Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing appeared. This was a trap they set. In the middle of the room, a net covered a man. He tore the net open and turned around.

"It's me, what are you doing?" Yu Mulan remained calm, but she was terrified inside and was anxiously looking for an excuse, but no one was a fool.

"It's you who wanted to kill Yun Jiao. You are the one who killed Yu Qiu Shuang." Fang Duobing asked with certainty.

"I was just worried about her condition and came to visit her." Yu Mulan definitely denied it.

"Oh, Yun Jiao has been crazy for two days. You just came now. Are you afraid that she will say something wrong?" Yun Jiao is pretending to be crazy now.

"Please be careful with your words and don't forget our identities." Yu Mulan had just threatened when Yu Hongzhu brought people here, Zong Zheng Mingzhu.

Shen Qingzhou already understood the identities of the people he saw that night. He had to say that this girl was really unlucky. Her fiancé was having an affair with her sister, and her best sister was having an affair with her brother-in-law. If she hadn't met him, she would have been doomed.

……

"Why are you here?" Yu Hongzhu also discovered Yu Mulan. This was Yun Jiao's residence.

"Madam Yu has arrived just in time. The person who killed the Second Miss is right before our eyes."

"What, wasn't it Yun Jiao who did it?" Yu Hongzhu was really surprised. Although the people from Tianxia Escort Agency ran away, both of them were in the lobby of the inn at that time, so they actually had an alibi. In Yu Hongzhu's mind, it was Yun Jiao who did the murder.

Then, Li Lianhua continued to explain that Yun Jiao was helping Yu Mulan. Yu Hongzhu was curious why, and he told her the reason. Li Lianhua actually knew the murderer a long time ago, he just confirmed the reason and evidence.

Yu Qiu Shuang felt even more sad. Yun Jiao once wrote a poem which was discovered by Yu Hong Zhu. Just because the words "Ming Zhu" appeared in the poem, she thought it was written for Zong Zheng Mingzhu, but it was actually written for Yu Mulan.

Yun Jiao always has a piece of gold jewelry on her hand, with a dandelion hanging on it. Yu Mulan was married into the family, and his original surname was Pu. The family used the dandelion as its symbol. Li Lianhua was too sharp-eyed.

Continuing with the explanation, the conversation between Yun Jiao and Yu Qiu Shuang's shadows that everyone saw at Xiaomian Inn was actually a shadow play through the window. The Pu family has a unique skill called "A Thousand Changes in Fire", which allows them to manipulate the shadow puppets very well.

Of course Yu Mulan denied it, saying that there was no grudge between them. If he had killed her, he could have just dumped the body instead of letting anyone find out.

Li Lianhua had checked the information clearly. The reason why Yu Mulan married into the family was because he was addicted to gambling and lost all his family property. He had no money, so he married into Yucheng.

Normally, they cook the books when mining ore, but half of this Jade City belongs to Yu Qiu Shuang, and it will inevitably be exposed over time.

According to the rules of Yucheng, even if Yu Qiushuang is missing, the minerals still belong to her. Unless she dies clearly, they can become Yu Hongzhu's. Only then will he have more opportunities to use his power to pay off his debts.

Moreover, Fang Duobing also produced evidence that the Fang family is very powerful. His wife is from Tianji Villa, a powerful martial arts family. The head of the Fang family is the Shangshu, and the Xiguo Bank is also owned by the Fang family. Fang Duobing's background is indeed strong.

There was evidence of Yu Mulan's borrowing in the money house. Yu Hongzhu got angry when she saw it and threw the evidence directly at Yu Mulan, saying that it was difficult for him to change his bad habits.

She really didn't know all this. In fact, these silver coins were nothing to her. Yucheng was a wealthy man in Xi Country and had jade mines, all of which belonged to the Yu sisters. But she felt embarrassed and thought her husband had brought disgrace upon himself.

Yu Mulan of course did not admit it, saying that Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing were talking nonsense, even though everyone had already seen that the other party had sufficient evidence and Fang Duobing had exposed it. In order to prevent anything from being found on the body, he even started a fire to burn the body.

When Fang Duobing said this, Yu Qiu Shuang had already leaned towards Shen Qingzhou again. Without him, he would have died several times. Shen Qingzhou was really helpless and it was not professional at all. Fortunately, he used his innate qi to surround a few people, and most of the people in the mansion were already awake and walking, so they were not exposed.

Although Xiantian Gangqi is not a hidden skill, it is still effective when the protective shield is opened.

Li Lianhua came in front of Yun Jiao who was pretending to be crazy, and a piece of broken warm jade and a golden needle appeared in her hand.

“Miss Yun, you are still devoted to Lord Yu, but he wants to kill you tonight. A man like him is not worthy of your continuous protection. At the Xiaomian Inn, the soul-stealing needle was blocked by the warm jade given to you by Second Miss Yu. She was protecting you.” Yun Jiao pretended to be crazy because she knew someone was trying to kill her.

There was another reason. She was hit by a golden needle in Xiaomian Inn. Because she knew who had hit her, she pretended to be crazy and stupid, making the other party think that she had been hit but just not dead. Unexpectedly, he came to kill her tonight.

Fairy Liangyi felt pity for Yu Qiushuang when she saw her. What an unlucky person she was. However, she thought she deserved it since she was trying to squeeze towards Shen Qingzhou.

However, why does this Yu Hongzhu seem so familiar? She has already guessed that this is one of the twelve phoenixes around the leader. In the battle of the East China Sea, the twelve phoenixes were basically gone. Unexpectedly, there is still an old acquaintance.

"You should give her justice." Li Lianhua said.

"Yes, it's my fault. He wanted to see the Soul-Snatching Needle and wanted to see the mystery inside it, so I stole it and gave it to him. I didn't expect that." Yun Jiao really spoke, which shocked Yu Mulan. Although Yu Hongzhu said that Yun Jiao was pretending to be crazy, he knew that it should be true and he shot her.

This Soul-Snatching Needle is a hidden weapon device. In Xi Country, only Yucheng has it. This device was left in the armory after a hidden weapon master challenged the previous Lord of Yucheng and was killed.

"Yu Mulan, you should admit it." Yun Jiao's face was full of tears. She could do anything for her lover, but her lover even killed her, which made her collapse and she also thought of Yu Qiu Shuang's goodness.

If it weren't for Yu Qiushuang, how could Yun Jiao have a place to stay in Yucheng? Without Yu Qiushuang, how could she know so many people whom she had no right to meet? She was only able to mobilize guards because she had Yu Qiushuang as her best friend and Yu Qiushuang was very kind to her.

Now, the filter she had for her lover faded away, and she thought of Yu Qiushuang's kindness. To be honest, she didn't want to kill Yu Qiushuang, but her lover acted too quickly, so she had no choice but to cooperate.

Yu Mulan knew that it was no longer possible to shift the blame to the Tianxia Escort Agency, mainly because the accomplices would testify, which was a bit too troublesome.

"Where's the evidence? You said I killed Yu Qiushuang. What evidence do you have?" Yu Mulan denied it, but he was ready to run away.

“I have to say, Lord Yu is quite resourceful. He used two tricks. Knowing that he might be discovered if he failed to destroy the corpse, he simply took the opportunity to steal the corpse. However, you still made a mistake. Although the place where Second Miss Yu was lying was burned clean by you, we found this.” Fang Duobing took out a golden needle, which was the Soul-stealing Needle.

It was originally dropped by Shen Qingzhou, and it would definitely be found if checked carefully. Yu Mulan suffered because he could not pay too much attention to this matter, as it would be very strange. Otherwise, he would be able to find it if he investigated carefully.

"Hmph, what corpse stealing? That's nonsense." Suddenly, Yu Mulan waved his hand and a golden needle flew towards Yun Jiao. Even though he didn't steal the corpse, Yun Jiao knew the whole story, so he lost.

Fang Duobing was well prepared. He swung his sword and knocked away the golden needle, but Yu Mulan had already flown out. He was ready to escape.

Shen Qingzhou and the other two watched him hide in a tree. When Yu Hongzhu and Zong Zhengmingzhu came out and looked at the empty yard, suddenly, there were two more golden needles. Shen Qingzhou could see this thing clearly. That was because he was good at martial arts. This was actually a hidden weapon. He thought that if he killed a few people first, it would be convenient for him to run away or something. He couldn't run away directly. Now it was night, and the needle was very hidden. However, Yu Hongzhu and Zong Zhengmingzhu were much better at martial arts than him. Zong Zhengmingzhu had already discovered where he was and directly chopped the air with his palm power.

Shen Qingzhou found this kung fu very interesting. The Air-Splitting Palm was not just about striking out with your palm and hitting the opponent with your internal energy. Normally, when attacking from a distance, the farther away the opponent is, the weaker the palm will be and there will be consumption. Furthermore, if one does not have enough internal energy, it would be impossible to attack from a distance.

However, the Pikong Palm has a unique method of attacking from a distance, with no loss of power, and can penetrate the inside without damaging the skin, which is an advanced version of hitting the bull from a distance.

Yu Mulan is not good at martial arts and lightness skills, otherwise he would have just run away or killed others. If it were Shen Qingzhou, with his speed of eight steps in the air, Yu City is not big, but he would have already left the city, it was that fast.

Yu Mulan was so disheartened that she was caught by the guards. Everyone knew what to do in this situation.

"I want to avenge Shuang'er." Suddenly, Yu Hongzhu drew out her sword and stabbed at Yu Mulan. Yu Mulan was heartbroken. Fortunately, Fang Duobing stopped her directly under the guidance of Li Lianhua.

"What are you going to do now?" Yu Hongzhu said angrily. She really had a deep sisterly love. Even though she was with her sister's fiancé, it did not affect her love for her sister. People are so contradictory.

"If Madam Yu wants to take revenge, she should also consider the first come first served principle," said Li Lianhua.

"What do you mean?"

"Madam Yu, please don't forget that Miss Yu was once seriously injured by a palm strike. We have never known where the injury came from. We just saw Master Zong Zheng take action, and he solved the mystery for us.

Master Zong Zheng, this skill that can damage the internal organs without damaging the skin must be the Air-Splitting Palm, no doubt." Fang Duobing said.

"Mr. Fang, I'm surprised to hear this. How did you know that Miss Yu was injured by a palm strike? Did you steal her body? And why should I kill her?" Zong Zheng Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat and he spoke quickly.

Yu Hongzhu was confused. Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua did tell her about the palm injury, and she actually had a guess. Fortunately, she found the golden needle, so she wanted to kill Yu Mulan quickly and put an end to the matter. Who could have thought that she would be stopped by Fang Duobing.

Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua were helpless. Fang Duobing didn't see it, but Li Lianhua discovered that Yu Qiushuang had been hit by a palm when she saw her in the inn, so she could only tell it out now.

Li Lianhua was too smart. After coming to Yucheng and meeting a few people, he guessed something. He also had a guess. Although he himself didn't quite believe it, no matter what, that thing might be true, otherwise, it could not be explained.

And thinking back to the scene he saw at that time and the time of death that has now been confirmed, he knew that there were other secrets, but for now, he just needed to figure out what was in front of him.

Li Lianhua began to talk. He had always been curious and confused. If he had not found the golden needle, he almost thought that Yu Qiu was killed by the palm of his hand.

But when he found the golden needle later, he guessed what happened at the Xiaomian Inn, and now Yun Jiao and Yu Mulan have admitted it, which made him very conflicted.

"Because you and Madam Yu were having an affair, and were caught by the Second Miss. Moreover, you had the scent of osmanthus from Madam Yu's bedroom on you, which the City Lord Yu, who always sleeps in the guest room, doesn't have. Just now, in a hurry, Madam Yu protected you." Li Lianhua said.

Yu Mulan was disheartened and spoke out his true feelings. In all these years, he had never slept with Yu Hongzhu, and Madam Yu didn't like him at all.

Everyone was watching the show, even Yu Qiu Shuang was very curious. Only Shen Qingzhou was thinking carefully about the plot. Now, the truth of the matter has come out, but he thinks the name Zong Zheng Mingzhu sounds familiar.

Okay, I finally remembered. This person seems to be Jiao Liqiao's bootlicker. Jiao Liqiao is the Saint of the Golden Yuan League and the biggest villain in the show except for Shan Gudao. Well, Li Xiangyi is her cousin. He doesn't know the specific plot, but he knows the ending.

"I'm not clean, but you're not much better." Yu Mulan said harsh words to Madam Yu for the first time.

"Shut up, it's you, did you really kill Qiu Shuang?" Yu Hongzhu asked Zong Zheng Mingzhu. She had a guess but was not sure. Now, she could no longer hide it.

"I did slap her, but I didn't mean to. I met Hongzhu that day with the intention of breaking off this relationship, but she was angry and I couldn't just walk away. I chased her to her bedroom to comfort her, but she was fiery and I had to persuade her with kind words for a long time before she calmed down and listened to me.

But I heard a noise outside the window. We must not let anyone else know about our affairs. I hastily slapped the outside of the house. When I checked, there was no one there. I didn't know it was Qiu Shuang. "If someone else asked, Zong Zheng Mingzhu would never tell the truth, but there was no point in lying to Yu Hongzhu.

"It turns out that you were the one who killed your sister. This is retribution." Yu Mulan was very happy. Yun Jiao also came out and explained what happened next.

After being hit by a palm, Yu Qiu Shuang had nowhere to go, so she came to her good sister, and happened to see her having a secret meeting with Yu Mulan. She was about to leave but was killed by Yu Mulan. She also said that she was pretending to be crazy and stupid just to survive, and she was afraid that Yu Mulan would kill her.

This matter is now clear and straightforward. Yun Jiao's words of playing tricks prove that Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing's previous reasoning was true.

"How pitiful! No one loves the second young lady, and none of them want to let her go." Yu Qiu Shuang was able to accept the reality at this moment. She had completely accepted it since she woke up.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have done that." Yu Hongzhu really regretted it. She didn't want her sister to die.

"You told me that it was my illusion that there was no one outside the window, but why didn't you tell me that she had been killed by your Palm?" Yu Hongzhu questioned Zong Zheng Mingzhu.

"Calm down. It's her fault that she followed us from the back mountain that day. We talked a lot that day, some things we could say and some things we couldn't say. Do you want her to spread it? I did this for you." Zong Zheng Mingzhu looked at Yu Hongzhu. Yu Hongzhu's face changed. There were some things involved in the back mountain that she had to protect.

"Shut up, Zong Zheng Mingzhu, you've done everything, not to mention pretending to be affectionate." Fang Duobing didn't hear the hidden meaning in Zong Zheng Mingzhu's words.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Li, thank you for your efforts in solving the case. Someone, take Yun Jiaoyu and Mu Lan to jail, prepare the carriages and horses, and escort Mr. Fang, Mr. Li and everyone in the inn out of the city." Yu Hongzhu's face changed and she said in a cold voice. There were still tears on her face, but she had become the real master of Yucheng.

"Wait a minute, why did you put them in jail? What about Zong Zheng Mingzhu, what are you planning to do?" Fang Duobing said.

"This is my Yucheng's family affair. I, Yucheng, will handle it myself." Yu Hongzhu said.

"This is a criminal case. According to the rules, Jianghu criminal cases are decided by Baichuanyuan. Zong Zheng Mingzhu holds a position in the court, so it should be handled by the Supervisory Office." He also mentioned that Yu Hongzhu killed the guard, and he wanted to seek justice for the guard.

"Fang Duobing, you don't want to live, so you can take them and ask for justice from the King of Hell." Yu Hongzhu said.

She just didn't want to offend the forces behind Fang Duobing, but since he was so aggressive, she decided to kill him and cover up the traces afterwards.

"Wait a minute, Madam Yu, don't you want to know the real murderer of your sister?" Li Lianhua suddenly said.

"Who is the real murderer?" Fang Duobing was confused. The two murderers had already appeared. Zong Zheng Mingzhu and Yu Mulan were also surprised that there was a third person.

"Rather than saying you are the murderer, it's better to say you are the victim, Miss Yu Qiu Shuang, I think you are somewhere, I wonder if you can show up to see me." Li Lianhua said loudly.

"Are you okay? Although Yu Qiushuang's body was stolen, we saw her in the inn. She is definitely gone." His words made everyone look at each other in confusion, and Fang Duobing said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Yu Hongzhu said, waving her hand. Since it involved her sister, she wanted to listen.

"Miss Yu Qiu Shuang, I wonder if you would be willing to show up."

"Mr. Li, my sister is not good at martial arts. She can't hide here." Yu Hongzhu reminded.

"Then let me change my words. I wonder if it would be convenient for Chief Shen of the Tianxia Escort Agency to show up." Shen Qingzhou was a little impressed by Li Lianhua. This man could actually guess so much. He was not just shouting nonsense.

"Do you want to go down? If not, let's ignore him." Shen Qingzhou said to Yu Qiu Shuang.

"I want to go down. Brother Shen still has a wanted warrant, all for me. I will feel uneasy if it is not released." Yu Qiu Shuang said.

"Haha, Li Lianhua, I know you are powerful, but I am very curious, how did you guess it?" Suddenly, three people and a dog landed on the ground, and Shen Qingzhou looked at Li Lianhua and asked.

"Qiu Shuang, you're okay." Yu Hongzhu saw her sister, who was still the same, and the scar on her face from the poisonous insect bite had disappeared. Yun Jiao couldn't help but scream.

"It's me. You didn't expect it, did you? Are you disappointed that I'm not dead?" Yu Qiu Shuang said in a deep voice. This was also the reason why she wanted to come down. She wanted to see how these people would react when they knew they were not dead.

"Qiu Shuang, I know I'm sorry for you, but you know I never thought of hurting you." Yu Hongzhu was a little sad.

"But you never thought about avenging me. Besides them, he was also the one who killed me."

Yu Qiu Shuang pointed at Zong Zheng Mingzhu, which made his face change and he was secretly on guard. If things were already done and Yu Qiu Shuang was dead, he could still coax Yu Hongzhu, but now that the other party was still alive, his importance was definitely not as good as Yu Qiu Shuang, especially Yu Qiu Shuang who was lost and found again.

"How did you guess me?" Shen Qingzhou asked Li Lianhua. He really wanted to know what these people who were good at reasoning thought.
