Swire Overlord

Chapter 222

The torrential rain was like a mist, blocking the world ahead. In the palace, everyone did not leave, but waited for further investigation.

Yuanyuan showed a look of surprise, and suddenly pushed Zhao Yufan's shoulder quietly, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Xia Qiuze has something to do with you?"

Casting a glance at Yuanyuan, Zhao Yufan asked suspiciously, "You know a lot?"

Patting her chest, Yuanyuan said proudly, "That's right, there are very few things I don't know about in this world."

"Really?" Zhao Yufan joked, "Then let me ask you, how did Xia Qiuze die? Who killed him? Who is Liu Wuhen? And who is Mu Tianyou?"

He asked four questions, but Yuanyuan was speechless. Seeing Zhao Yufan's proud expression, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I know who Mu Tianyou is? But how do you know the name Mu Tianyou?" ?”

"Who is Mu Tianyou?" Zhao Yufan asked seriously.

"The suzerain of the Qinglan sect is called Mu Tianzuo. Of course, Mu Tianyou is Mu Tianzuo's elder brother. The two were once the most outstanding talents of the Qinglan sect. Unfortunately, because of the position of suzerain, the two had conflicts. In the end, Mu Tianyou was defeated. , left the Qinglan Sect, and disappeared."

After listening to Yuanyuan's narration, Zhao Yufan was able to confirm the relationship between Mu Tianzuo and Mu Tianyou. While he was thinking, a group of people came outside the palace. This group of people came from the Department of Justice and was ordered by the Emperor to investigate Xia Qiuze's assassination. one thing.

The matter is of great importance, and the investigation of the case is the head of the Justice Department, 'Bao Rongzhan', and a dozen of his subordinates. They work in batches, starting with people from the Zongmen, screening out those who have nothing to do with this matter, and letting the Zongmen go as soon as possible. After all, it is very unsafe for such a group of people to stay in the imperial city.

When the rain stopped, all the people from the sect had left.In the evening, there was no one at the banquet.

In the night, Zhao Yufan and Yuanyuan were sitting in a restaurant, discussing today's events in low voices.

Zhao Yufan has become taciturn since he left the imperial city. He remembered that he had made an agreement with Xia Qiuze at the beginning. Something happened to Xia Qiuze's father and daughter.

"Yuanyuan, do you know why Xia Mo'er became the emperor's concubine?"

Hearing Zhao Yufan's question, Yuanyuan grinned, dragged her chin with both hands, and said, "It is rumored that the Xia family has a refining method of the 'Secret Amulet', which can save people's lives in times of crisis. , that's why I was able to marry Xia Mo'er."

Frowning slightly, Zhao Yufan felt unbelievable. Is there such a thing in the world?He had heard of it before, but he never believed it, but now it seemed that there might be such a magical thing. Could it be that Xia Qiuze's death had something to do with the avatar?
Layers of fog shrouded Zhao Yufan's heart, and he still didn't understand the key point, but this did not prevent him from helping Xia Mo'er, let alone finding out the murderer.

"I want to find out the real culprit!"

He looked at several people solemnly, with firm eyes.

Yuanyuan rubbed her forehead and looked out the window.Zhang Qing picked up the wine glass and took a sip.Seeing that Yuanyuan and Zhang Qing were not helping, Zhou Hai scratched his head in embarrassment. He didn't want to get involved in this dispute, after all, he was just a small person in the sect, and his family was also a small family. "Well, tomorrow I will leave the capital with the elders, so I probably won't be able to help you. If I were in the capital, I would definitely do something for you."

Patting Zhou Hai on the shoulder, Zhao Yufan was very grateful.

Yuanyuan complained dissatisfiedly: "Zhou Hai, since you can attack both sides, why should you be afraid of the sect? You can stay and help him."

Zhou Hai was startled, blushed slightly, stared at Yuanyuan and said, "I can't disobey the Zongmen's order, without the Zongmen, I wouldn't have the achievements I have today, I can't... be ungrateful."

Yuanyuan waved her hand, and interrupted Zhou Hai impatiently: "Forget it, I'm just joking with you, I know you are afraid of being blamed by the sect, don't worry, you can go first, Zhang Qing and I are here."

Zhou Hai's face was very ugly, he felt extremely awkward sitting here, he hung his head angrily and stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhao Yufan looked at the few people dumbfounded, drank the wine in the glass, waved and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back."

Several people walked out of the restaurant in silence, took their leave and left.

In the early morning, surrounded by mist, a trace of cool air penetrated through the gaps in the windows, penetrated into the room, and penetrated into the human body, making people shiver uncontrollably.

As the cold air forced into his body, Zhao Yufan's black eyelashes trembled slightly. At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open with a "creak", and the sound of easy footsteps slowly approached his bedside. He jumped up from the bed suddenly, with a look of wariness on his face.

When he saw the person coming, his expression changed, and he remained rigid in the same defensive posture just now, opened his mouth, and said nothing.

Xia Mo'er blushed slightly, stared at Zhao Yufan fiercely, and scolded, "Put on clothes."

Putting on his clothes in embarrassment, Zhao Yufan looked at Xia Mo'er suspiciously, and asked nervously, "What are you doing here in broad daylight?"

Hearing this, Xia Mo'er's face turned even redder, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked, "Could it be more appropriate to come at night?"

The speechless Zhao Yufan straightened his clothes, and suddenly became a little silent, "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry." Xia Mo'er's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly: "I have been in the capital for a few months, and I won't just fall here, at least I won't go until I have revenge."

"Do you know who killed your father?"

"Fourth prince!" Xia Mo'er said firmly, "Because the Xia family has the secret of the avatar, only the emperor and the fourth prince know."

Shaking his head, Zhao Yufan looked out of the window, and said seriously: "Impossible, I also said yesterday that your Xia family has avatars, this matter must not only be known by the emperor and the fourth prince, at least I know, there is still a Personally know."

"It must be the fourth prince." Xia Mo'er said stubbornly: "Even if it's not him, it must be related to him. I want him and that man to die."

"Who is that man you're talking about?" Zhao Yufan already had an answer in his mind, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Yiye! The man who ruined my family and had a relationship with me!"

Zhao Yufan looked at the girl in front of him and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say. Looking at those eyes full of indifference, he felt as if she was about to die.

In fact, Xia Mo'er was already prepared to die. For her, there is nothing to love now, so she might as well die.

Guessing Xia Mo'er's inner thoughts, Zhao Yufan suddenly understood that Xia Mo'er came here and gave him only two choices, the first choice was not to help her and watch her die, the second choice was to help her, Try to prevent her from dying, or let her die in peace.
