Was there a clue?
As Fang Mofei finished his question, he saw Yun Yang's expression sink, growing more and more gloomy.
"There's a clue!"
Yun Yang gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, saying thoughtfully, "When I was ambushed from behind, I charged forward immediately to escape the blade and turned around in the air with all my might. I wanted to see what this person looked like."
"Even if I die for sure after this slash, I still want to turn around and see whose hands I will die in!"
"Being killed from behind is my humiliation! Facing death head-on is the backbone of a man! "
Yun Yang said faintly.
"Although I didn't see this person's face with my last glance, I saw this person's back." Yun Yang said, "Although this person's body melted into the night fog, that back felt very familiar to me."
"Familiar?" Fang Mofei frowned.
"Very familiar …" Yun Yang frowned as he thought seriously. "I must have seen this person during this period of time and I must have offended this person …"
"When and who were they?" Yun Yang racked his brain.
In his mind, all the people he had met in the past month flashed through his mind like a flashing lantern!
He had not made any friends during this period of time. He had offended people all along …
Including Dong Tianleng, for now, Yun Yang was only using him.
Besides, Yun Yang had no intention of making friends.
"I don't want to have new friends." Yun Yang had a stubborn obsession in his heart. "I don't want anyone to replace your positions in my heart …"
He was deep in thought.
Everything that had happened during this period of time had been repeated in his mind more than once.
Every character was constantly comparing the back view of that figure.
Who was it?
All of a sudden!
Yun Yang was shocked.
His face suddenly turned deathly pale!
Fang Mofei had been watching his expression.
Suddenly, his spirit jolted. "Young Master, you remember now?"
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath and said, "This person is a little strange … I can't be sure …"
Fang Mofei's eyes glinted. "Who is it?"
Yun Yang hesitated for a long time before he finally shook his head and said, "I'll tell you when I'm sure."
Fang Mofei was dumbfounded.
Looking at Yun Yang's expression, he had obviously found this person, but why was he unwilling to say it?
Indeed, Yun Yang knew who the silhouette belonged to. But it was precisely because he knew and confirmed it that he felt a wave of disbelief!
How could it be him?!
…
A slap to the face!
A loud sound rang out!
A defenseless body was sent flying from the ground. Seven or eight teeth flew out of his mouth. Half of his gums were almost knocked out!
Then, he rushed forward and started punching and kicking …
The one in charge of purchasing in the Inner Palace … the one he saw at the jade farm …
Eunuch Wu!
Eunuch Wu who liked men!
Eunuch Wu, who was almost slapped to death by him!
At that moment, Yun Yang felt as if the world had been flipped upside down. Was it possible for such an expert to be slapped to such a state by him?
He didn't even retaliate when he was humiliated in front of everyone?
When he walked out of the jade farm, he had forgotten about him! What was the point of remembering such a cowardly eunuch who didn't have the slightest bit of martial prowess?
But now … the figure that was gradually dissipating in the night fog actually overlapped with the figure that was beaten up like a dog!
Yun Yang checked again carefully, comparing himself to the silhouette from all directions.
In the end …
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh towards the sky. "I've indeed underestimated the heroes of this world!"
"I've indeed underestimated what kind of performance a person needs when he's enduring humiliation!"
"I've indeed been too careless!"
Fang Mofei asked in confusion, "Young master, what are you talking about?"
A gentle smile hung on Yun Yang's face. "What I'm saying is … it's not unjust for me to be injured this time! Even if I've really been assassinated this time … I deserve to die because of this person's attack! There's no injustice at all! "
"Underestimating the enemy is the way to death!"
Yun Yang heaved a soft sigh of relief and murmured, "From today onwards, I won't underestimate anyone in this world anymore!"
"Anyone!"
Yun Yang's tone was heavy as he enunciated the last three words.
Fang Mofei was puzzled.
Why did young master say this?
He felt that since he had followed Yun Yang, he had always been by his side, but he still felt that Yun Yang was like a cloud of mystery!
He could not see clearly.
He could not even get close.
In addition, Yun Yang should have a huge force in his hands, but it had always been hidden and no one could see it!
Yun Yang had never underestimated any enemy!
Yun Yang had always been meticulous with every step he took. Sometimes, he could even be described as' scheming '.
Today, Yun Yang's words of self-reflection had shocked Fang Mofei.
Yes, with Yun Yang's current state of mind, his careful and meticulous steps, those who he thought were extremely cautious … still needed to reflect on themselves!
Fang Mofei suddenly felt that with his temper, he was still alive after roaming the martial world for so many years. It was truly a f * cking blessing from the heavens, a great stroke of luck …
Yun Yang sat there for the entire day without stepping out. He had used all sorts of healing medicine and Emmie's continuous supply of air of vitality. Yun Yang had used them as well.
It was only until night time that he had finally recovered half of his strength.
However, he immediately laid down again.
"No matter who comes, just say that I've been assassinated and am bedridden. I can't meet anyone."
Yun Yang's order baffled Fang Mofei and Lao Mei. You didn't lie down when you should have, you got up and walked around …
Now that you had finally recovered a little, you immediately lay down again … What kind of logic was this?
On the same night.
Yun Yang held the Nine Heavens Dictum in his hand and an order was sent out soundlessly.
…
Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan had been feeling humiliated for the past few days. How could something like this happen in his own home? It was utterly humiliating …
The Old Marshal could feel his face burning even when he was drinking tea …
Such a ridiculous thing had actually happened in his own home … to forcefully matchmake the widow of the national hero, the Nine Supremes? This was simply …
The Old Marshal heaved a long sigh.
There had been no news from the Nine Heavens Dictum these past few days. This made the Old Marshal even more anxious. Could those fellows be angry? Are you completely disappointed?
The Old Marshal could not sleep for the next few days. Putting himself in their shoes, if it were him … he would probably not forgive them as well …
It was on this very night.
Qiu Jianhan paced around the pergola, his mind heavy.
Suddenly, there was movement again.
"Don't panic."
Qiu Jianhan was overjoyed.
Looking at the familiar parcel that had landed in front of him, the Old Marshal was almost moved to tears of joy.
Moreover, the parcel this time was different from the previous one. Instead, there was a vivid drawing of a white cloud.
The white cloud gave the Old Marshal a jolt.
"The soul of the Nine Supremes, Supreme Cloud's Dictum!"
Everyone in the world knew that although the leader of the Nine Supremes was Supreme Earth, the one who could truly command the Nine Supremes and make the most important decisions was the youngest of the Nine Supremes!
Supreme Cloud!
Now, in front of Old Marshal Qiu was Supreme Cloud's parcel. This meant that the item inside was sent by Supreme Cloud's men.
It could also be said that it was sent by Supreme Cloud himself!
Old Marshal Qiu grabbed the parcel and dashed into the study in agitation.
"No one is to disturb me!"
…
"The incident at Cirrus House earlier was the enemy's plot …" Supreme Cloud's parcel explained the matter and pointed out, "The most suspicious people now are the crown prince's residence of Shui Yuehan and Fu Yuanshan of Plethora Gem Tower …"
"These two people have just been involved in a murder case at Cirrus House …"
The Old Marshal's eyes shone as he read up to this point.
"It's not appropriate for the Board of War to act. The Board of Justice can act, detain them in the Board of Justice's cell and cooperate with the questioning … it's still necessary to go through the procedures."
This was the end of the letter.
However, the Old Marshal understood tacitly.
I was wondering how such a thing could happen to our family. We were indeed framed, it was a conspiracy …
The Ninth Heavens Dictum was right when it came to these suspicious people. If the Board of War were to act, it would be easily seen through … but if the Board of Justice were to act, it would be an open and proper investigation into the deaths of the three people at Cirrus House.
However, the Old Marshal was looking forward to … what would happen after they were arrested?
The next morning.
The officials of the Empire of Yutang's Board of Justice were dispatched.
They first went to Cirrus House to find Yun Zuiyue to understand the situation, then ordered her to not go out, not to go missing, and to wait for the Board of Justice's summons!
The wording was extremely strict.
These people then went to the inn and politely invited Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng, and Xia Bingchuan to the Board of Justice to cooperate with the investigation.
They then sent someone to summon Fu Guanshan of Plethora Gem Tower to the Board of Justice for a confrontation.
Finally, they sent someone with a letter to the crown prince's residence to look for His Highness, saying that the Board of Justice was handling a case and the residence's guest, Shui Yuehan, was required to make a trip to the Board of Justice.
All of these were very normal procedures.
There was indeed a murder case in Cirrus House. Although both parties had reconciled and the officials would not pursue the matter if the people did not report it, it was still a major case involving three lives at the feet of the emperor.
It was necessary for the Board of Justice to prepare the case and put on a show.
Therefore, Shui Yuehan went without any pressure.
Upon arriving at the Board of Justice, he asked a few questions as per usual. Shui Yuehan then said, "Those people drank too much and accidentally fell to their deaths …"
Such a reason that even a ghost would not believe was the unified explanation of the three noble families' young masters, the shopkeeper of Plethora Gem Tower, and the guest of the crown prince's residence.
After all, they had already discussed the countermeasures.
Then, the three parties gathered together to sort out the case. Dong Tianleng, Chun Wanfeng, Shui Yuehan, and Fu Guanshan sat in the hall and recounted the case.
This made everyone feel more at ease.
What else could have happened if all of us were gathered together? It was just a formality.
Therefore, everyone was very cooperative.
After everything was done, the official from the Board of Justice said with some embarrassment, "I'm very sorry, I can't let you all go yet. After all, there's still a verification procedure to go through. I'll have to trouble you all to stay in the Board of Justice for a night. "
The few of them were already mentally prepared for such an outcome.
They obeyed the order gladly.
"All of you can go back tomorrow morning." The official from the Board of Justice spoke humbly, obviously knowing that these people were not to be trifled with. "I'll have to trouble you all tonight. There's no spare room in the Board of Justice, you can only stay in the cells for the night."
"Hmph …"
The few of them were relieved, but on the surface, they looked very unhappy. Without saying a word, they entered their respective cells.
