"What do you know? The Divine Arrow Marquis was killed by the demons from outer space. If you dare to say that Liu Xunhuan killed him, I'll beat you to death!"
Amidst the crowd, people began to discuss the matter. Suddenly, someone appeared and began to beat people up, berating and warning them.
At first, people didn't realize what was going on, but when they were guided, they all understood.
"Are you stupid? The Divine Arrow Marquis, Hua Yaozu, is a Marquis, a Marquis of the Imperial Court. How can it be a small matter when a Marquis is killed?"
"You mean to say —"
"What the hell are you talking about? You don't even understand this! Then do you know what it means to protect each other? "
At this point, the person who was scolded suddenly understood. Liu Xunhuan killed the Divine Arrow Marquis, which was a big crime. The Imperial Court would definitely investigate. In this way, his life would be in danger. Naturally, he would need to find a scapegoat, and this scapegoat would be the demons from outer space. Wasn't this the most suitable scapegoat?!
Along with this realization, Ye Boren was shocked to find that there was a great change in the county city. There were no more discussions, and no one mentioned the name "Liu Xunhuan". Almost everyone was shouting that the demons from outer space did justice for the Heavens and killed the Divine Arrow Marquis, Hua Yaozu.
Such a tacit understanding was formed silently, causing Ye Boren to be completely shocked! He deeply realized that the hatred of the people toward the Divine Arrow Marquis, Hua Yaozu, had reached a level that was even greater than the anger of the Heavens and the resentment of the people.
"Liu Xunhuan!!!"
Ye Boren was ashamed and angry, but he also hated that Liu Xunhuan didn't fight for it. His feelings were extremely complicated. Even if he wanted to protect Liu Xunhuan, it was impossible.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. He trembled as if he was struck by lightning, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. This could really be the work of the demons from outer space.
Liu Xunhuan had unearthed the power of Wen Dao, and the God Realm wanted to kill him. But Liu Xunhuan was too difficult to deal with, so they came up with a plan to kill Hua Yaozu, the God Killing Marquis of Arrow, and put the blame on Liu Xunhuan. Then, with the help of the imperial court, they could kill Liu Xunhuan!
"If that's the case, then it's really troublesome!"
Ye Boren was so anxious that his hair almost turned white overnight.
However, despite thinking of this possibility, he still believed that it was Liu Xunhuan who killed Hua Yaozu.
On the same night, at the same time, in the same place, there was a place in Scholar Commandery that was also observing the development of the situation. Orders were constantly being sent out from there.
This was the Scholar County's capital, the Wen Palace.
At this moment, in the office of the Palace of Wen's Chief Inspector, the highest ranking official of the Palace of Wen was enjoying the scalding hot tea under the flickering firelight.
Opposite him was Secretary Xiao of the Wen Palace.
Secretary Xiao also had great authority in the Palace of Wen and was in charge of many trivial matters.
In the middle of the night, so many things happened in the Zhuangyuan County. Manager Li, who was in charge of the Wen Palace, was the second person under Ye Boren, but he did not show up to deal with the matter. Instead, he was drinking tea leisurely. If people knew about this, they would probably criticize him.
The firelight was very bright, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime. The fragrant tea rose in spirals and could be seen incomparably clearly. That spiraling white mist was still very lovable.
During this process, Manager Li and Secretary Xiao's trusted subordinates were constantly informing them about the situation in the county.
However, the two of them were not concerned about the Divine Arrow Marquis' Mansion, but the discussions in the county.
The two of them were especially concerned about the fact that the Divine Arrow Marquis, Hua Yaozu, was killed by the demons from outer space. If there was another explanation, how would the people in the county react?
