Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 60: Strange Case
When Gu Mo heard that the escort that was robbed by the Changfeng Escort Agency was actually transporting the legendary blood-tear stone clams, he instantly understood why the Changfeng Escort Agency had kept the convoy a secret from even the escort masters, and only the chief escort Lin Zhenyue knew where the convoy was being taken throughout the entire process.

The bail is also an outrageous 200,000 taels. However, compared to the Blood-Tear Stone Clam, 200,000 taels is still too conservative. That thing can really be said to be priceless. That thing is in the hands of the invincible Mo Qingxian in Lingyun Villa. If it is in the hands of any other force, like the first-class force like the Tang family in Zhushan County, they will end up being wiped out because of the treasure.

Mo Qingxian only exposed the Blood-Tear Stone Clam after he became famous. Even then, he still encountered many crises. Fortunately, Mo Qingxian was indeed a master of martial arts. With the help of a knife, he not only protected the Blood-Tear Stone Clam, but also became famous and created the famous Lingyun Villa.

"Why did Lingyun Villa send the Blood-Tear Stone Clams away?" Gu Mo asked puzzledly.

Zhuo Qingfeng said: “I have already checked this matter at Lingyun Villa because I need to send someone to rescue them.

Mo Qingxian has a close friend named Zuo Ze, who is the head of the Zuo family in Qingyang County. Some time ago, Zuo Ze was seriously injured in a fight and was in danger. The Zuo family asked Lingyun Villa for help, but Lingyun Villa had no remaining blood-tear pearls. Fortunately, the blood-tear stone clams were about to spit out new pearls.

However, there was not enough time to wait for the Blood-Tear Stone Clam to spit out the Blood-Tear Pearl before sending it to Qingyang County. Therefore, Mo Qingxian decided to send the Blood-Tear Stone Clam directly to the Zuo family in Qingyang County. That way, as soon as the stone clam spits out the Blood-Tear Pearl, he could feed it to Zuo Ze to save his life.

Gu Mo asked again, "It's such an important thing, but Mo Qingxian didn't go to deliver it himself, but instead entrusted it to Changfeng Escort Agency. Isn't that unreasonable?"

"He can't send it off," Zhuo Qingfeng smiled and said, "Lingyun Villa's Young Master Mo Bu Yao, Mo Qingxian's son, recently challenged Shen Bai of the Canglan Sword Sect to a duel. Have you heard about this?"

Gu Mo nodded.

Of course he knew about this matter.

Before, he went to Zhushan County to hunt down the wanted criminal Feilong, and met Shen Bai at the Tang family. The two hit it off and had a great time talking. Originally, the two wanted to exchange martial arts for a while, but because Shen Bai had an appointment to duel with Mo Biao, they had to leave after only three days.

Later, the two exchanged two letters. Shen Bai expressed regrets in the letters and complained that although Mo Budao was the son of the invincible sword master Mo Qingxian, he was very famous, but his martial arts skills were mediocre. It was meaningless to compete with him and it was a wasted trip.

"Does Mo Qingxian's failure to escort the Blood-Tear Stone Clam have anything to do with Shen Bai?" Gu Mo asked.

Zhuo Qingfeng nodded and continued, "Shen Bai and Mo Buyao are competing in martial arts. Both of them are talented young men in the martial arts world. Shen Bai is famous and is a disciple of a master, but Mo Buyao is also famous and is also recognized as a first-class master in the martial arts world. He has learned the true teachings of Mo Qingxian.

Originally, everyone thought that this battle was a evenly matched one. However, no one expected that Mo Budong could not hold on after Shen Bai had only used three swords. Shen Bai also did not expect that Mo Budong was so useless. He almost killed Mo Budong with one sword.

Fortunately, Shen Bai stopped and Mo Budao was not killed, but he was also seriously injured. Moreover, the injury was not light and his heart meridian was almost broken. However, Lingyun Villa only had one Blood and Tear Pearl a year, and every year, it was ground into powder and refined into Blood and Tear Pills as soon as it was unearthed. There were no extra ones to treat Mo Budao. Although the Blood and Tear Pills were quite effective, they could not bring the dead back to life.

Mo Qingxian had no choice but to use all his strength to protect Mo Buyao's heart meridian. Therefore, and precisely because of this, Mo Qingxian is still recovering. This is why he couldn't personally escort the Blood-Tear Stone Clam. He had expended too much energy saving Mo Buyao. "Gu Mo suddenly realized, and said, "I see."

Although there are several escort agencies in Linjiang City, Changfeng Escort Agency is recognized as the strongest in terms of comprehensive strength. Therefore, it is normal for Lingyun Villa to choose Changfeng Escort Agency to escort the Blood-Tear Stone Clam.

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Let me continue to tell you about the case. Changfeng Escort Agency accepted the escort for Lingyun Villa. The agency's owner, Yang Fang, signed a commission agreement with Mo Qingxian at the government office. The escort fee was as high as 30,000 taels. Yang Fang mortgaged all his property and borrowed a lot of money to pay the bail at the government office. The total amount was 200,000 taels. To be honest, considering the value of the Blood-Tear Stone Clam, 200,000 taels is not too much.

Changfeng Escort Agency also attached great importance to this escort. They had eight escort leaders, more than fifty escort soldiers, and more than thirty porters, all of whom were good fighters. There was also a chief escort leader, Lin Zhenyue, who was a well-known first-class master in the martial arts world. He was nicknamed the Invincible Divine Fist. His fists were not only fast, but also very powerful.

This escort was for the Blood-Tear Stone Clam. Besides the owner, Yang Fang, only Lin Zhenyue knew about it at the Changfeng Escort Agency, and the entire escort route was kept secret. Yet, given these circumstances, the escort was still robbed. Do you think the biggest possibility is insider embezzlement?

Gu Mo nodded slightly.

Zhuo Qingfeng continued, "The escort was robbed at the Fang County Post Station. According to the investigation of the scene by the Six Gates of Qingyang County, it was clearly an internal conflict. Judging from the traces at the scene, many of the victims were killed without any warning.

Furthermore, to be on the safe side, the Changfeng Escort Agency had prepared numerous carriages, disguised as transporting various porcelain items. There were over a dozen carriages in total, and the items were packed into the warehouse. Furthermore, there were no signs of rummaging at the scene, which clearly indicated that the robbers knew the exact location of the Blood-Tear Stone Clams.

Gu Mo asked, "Based on these, can you conclude that it was embezzlement?"

"Of course there's more," Zhuo Qingfeng said, "There are witnesses. There were two servants at the post station that day. They saw with their own eyes those people from the Changfeng Escort Agency killing each other in the yard.

In addition, when the government received the news and rushed over, the Blood-Tear Stone Clam had disappeared, and thirteen people including Qu Heng were missing. After an urgent investigation by the Six Gates of Qingyang County, they were found in a cave. At that time, they were about to escape from Fang County.

Afterwards, the Six Gates of Qingyang County compared their weapons and martial arts skills with the wounds on the bodies of the deceased, and they all matched. This was all evidence proving that they had embezzled money, and it was irrefutable proof!"

Gu Mo frowned and said, "Then...why wasn't the conviction announced?"

Zhuo Qingfeng said, "Because the Blood-Tear Stone Clam hasn't been found yet, and the thirteen suspects are not in a normal mental state. They deny stealing from the inside and all claim the darts were hijacked by a cat demon, a cat as big as a cow!"
