Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

The entire mansion was charred black, and the unpleasant smell of burning was unbearable.

Nangong Qianrou instructed, "Immediately search the entire mansion for clues; leave no corner unchecked."

"Yes!" The night watchman, constables, and others who had arrived immediately sprang into action.

Nangong Qianrou then looked at Li Xuan and said, "Li Xuan, come with me into the depths and take a look."

The two headed deeper into the Pingyuan Earl's residence, specifically to the Earl's study and other rooms.

Upon arriving at the location of the room, we saw that it had collapsed, turned into ruins, and had been burned down.

In this situation, there are simply no clues to be found.

Moreover, it was clearly sabotaged by the murderer.

Even if there were clues, they would probably have been eliminated long ago.

"hateful!"

"Go check the study!"

Nangong Qianrou was unwilling to give up and turned to go to the study.

But upon entering the study, they witnessed the same scene.

The study collapsed, turning into ruins, a charred mess.

"Somebody come!"

She shouted, "Clean up the study immediately!"

The night watchmen who rushed over immediately sprang into action.

Shortly after.

The study has probably been cleared out.

The body of the Earl of Pingyuan was also found.

But it had long since been burned to a crisp.

All other items in the study were also completely destroyed, leaving no trace.

This result made Nangong Qianrou's face darken.

Although the Earl of Pingyuan is dead, it is clear that there is still a mastermind behind it all.

Moreover, all clues have been exhausted, leaving us with no way to proceed.

But since things have come to this, we can only accept our fate.

Fortunately, the Yazi organization was destroyed, and hundreds of civilians were saved.

At this moment, Li Xuan's expression changed, and he said, "Perhaps we can start by looking for clues from the Marquis of Pingyuan's close colleagues."

Pingyuanbo's close colleague?

Nangong Qianrou was taken aback, then her almond-shaped eyes narrowed: "You mean Zhang Feng, the Minister of War?"

The Liang faction, led by Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, and the Earl of Pingyuan, wielded immense power.

Now that the Earl of Pingyuan has devised the Yazi organization, it's quite possible that Zhang Feng, the Minister of War who is on good terms with him, is also involved.

Unfortunately.

The evidence obtained from Liujiazhuang did not involve Zhang Feng, the Minister of War.

It's possible that the Earl of Pingyuan has it.

But now they've all been destroyed and cleaned up.

but!

Even so, they could secretly investigate Zhang Feng, the Minister of War.

You might actually gain something from it.

Thinking of this, Nangong Qianrou parted her lips slightly and said, "Li Xuan, I suspect that Minister of War Zhang Feng was also involved."

"But we have no leads and no way to take action against them."

"For the next few days, keep a close eye on the residence of Zhang Feng, the Minister of War. Report any unusual activity or abnormality immediately."

“No problem,” Li Xuan replied.

His next target was Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, and his son!

These people have trafficked and murdered countless people over the years; they are extremely vicious and commit all sorts of evil deeds.

Moreover, he estimated that Zhang Feng already held a grudge against him.

Because of him, Liu Hang, a disciple of the Earl of Pingyuan, had to relocate his branch today.

As a result, Liujiazhuang was destroyed and the Yazi organization was wiped out.

The Earl of Pingyuan was even silenced!

As a partner, it would be strange if Zhang Feng didn't resent Li Xuan.

He figured Zhang Feng wouldn't let him go even if he didn't make a move against him.

Rather than being targeted, you should target others first!

Then, before anyone can react, they are quickly wiped out.

The residence of Zhang Feng, Minister of War.

Zhang Feng and his son Zhang Yi stood in the hall, their faces filled with relief.

Zhang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, with the help of the mysterious person, we were able to resolve the problem of the Earl of Pingyuan ahead of schedule and eliminate all clues."

"Otherwise, I will also be caught in the crossfire and face certain death."

The Yazi organization was a collaboration between him and Ping Yuanbo.

They trafficked people, forged identities, and sold them to a mysterious person to make a fortune.

Just now, it was the mysterious person who was the biggest seller in their Yazi organization who informed them that something had happened in Liujiazhuang.

They were sent to the Marquis of Pingyuan's residence to finish up the mess and destroy the evidence.

Now that the Earl of Pingyuan is dead, all clues have been destroyed.

Even if he is suspected, there is no evidence to prove it.

If we just stay quiet for a while, we can avoid the threat.

At this moment, the son Zhang Yi asked, "Father, who exactly is this mysterious person who has been trafficking our people?"

"They actually killed the Earl of Pingyuan silently and wiped out his entire family."

"Moreover, they are well-informed and incredibly powerful!"

Zhang Feng's pupils contracted, and he said with a serious expression, "I don't know either."

"In short, this person is extremely powerful, possesses great cultivation, and is incredibly mysterious."

“When Pingyuanbo and I tried to investigate, we not only failed to find any clues, but we were also given a death warning.”

"We want to retaliate, but we can't find a target; we can only treat it as cooperation and not conduct in-depth investigations."

Zhang Feng was also unaware of Emperor Yuanjing's existence.

All I know is that there's a powerful figure with immense influence who controls everything behind the scenes.

After being warned of his own death and nearly losing his life, he chose to cooperate obediently and dared not have any other thoughts.

Over the years, both sides have only talked about money and have had no interaction with each other.

But this relationship is very good.

Zhang Feng needed money to expand his power and influence.

The other party needs people, but what their purpose is? That's none of their business!

In any case, thanks to his vast wealth, his power has grown rapidly over the years, and he is now one of the largest factions in the imperial court.

At this moment, Zhang Feng said unwillingly, "With the death of the Earl of Pingyuan and the destruction of the Yazi organization, our strength has been greatly reduced. In the near future, we will probably be severely attacked by the Prince Yu's faction."

Without the Yazi organization, he will lack a steady stream of money.

The Earl of Pingyuan was his colleague, and they had previously used each other's power to oppose the faction of Prince Yu.

but now!

My purse is gone!

We've lost all our help!

The Liang faction, led by him, will inevitably suffer heavy losses if attacked by their opponents!

Zhang Yi seemed to remember something and said with resentment, "Father, all of this is because of Princess Pingyang and those two vile women, Li Xuan."

"If they hadn't captured the civilians who attempted to assassinate Liu Hang, none of this would have happened, and we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."

"Those two deserve to die!"

Zhang Yi revealed his murderous intent, his face contorting into a ferocious expression.
