Before dawn, the rumor spread like a plague again. This time, the rumor was even more mysterious.
Especially about Yun Chao's death, it was described vividly.
There were several versions of the rumor. Some said that Yun Chao's death was done by Yun Long, the first elder of the Yun family, in order to avenge the sixth elder and give a devastating blow to the third elder's bloodline.
The other version was that all of this was actually the Second Clan Elder's scheme. In fact, the second elder was a schemer.
He found the treasure and the inheritance of the royal Jiang family in the imperial temple of the Jiang family in Bailu Mountain, but he didn't want the other two bloodlines to divide it.
Therefore, he used this way of provoking the two tigers to make the bloodline of the first elder and the third elder fall into internal strife, and the third elder reaped the benefits when the sandpiper and the clam fought.
There were all kinds of guesses and theories. It made the capital lively again. Many people thought that the various rumors about Bailu Mountain were just rumors, but now they were mentioned again, and many people thought that Bailu Mountain must have found something.
For a time, all kinds of theories were flying in the capital.
However, early the next morning, the Tingyu Tower was surrounded by the people of the third elder's bloodline.
Obviously, the shopkeeper of the Fortune Tavern told Yun Chen everything that happened in the Tingyu Tower. And Yun Chen recalled that the last place Yun Chao appeared before the accident was this Tingyu Tower.
Therefore, this Tingyu Tower couldn't escape suspicion in any case.
Nanny Zhou cried out in grievance, "Sirs, our Tingyu Building has always been doing business honestly. When have we ever provoked anyone? Chao Shao did come to our Tingyu Tower, but hundreds of thousands of eyes saw him leave the Tingyu Tower. We also feel sorry for Chao Shao, but it really has nothing to do with us. "
"Nanny Zhou, don't cry out injustice. Chao Shao did come to your Tingyu Tower before he disappeared. Moreover, there are countless people who proved that he was a guest of your Tingyu Tower, which provided a clue for Chao Shao. Chao Shao was assassinated on the way to pursue this clue. It's not so easy for your Tingyu Tower to wash away the responsibility, right? If you want to prove your innocence, hand over the guest first. "
Zhou Ganniang groaned inwardly; she threw a tantrum and called out, "God damn it, who is the one with such a big mouth? Now that you've stirred up trouble, don't implicate our Listen to the Rain Tower. "
Qin Yi was secretly amused. He knew that Zhou Ganniang was trying to disassociate herself from the matter and wanted him to stand out.
Qin Yi was not ambiguous. He indeed had no intention of letting the Tingyu Building take the blame. He immediately walked out from the crowd. "Everyone, Chao Shao did ask me at that time. I was indeed the one who provided the clue to the Black Cloth Alley. But the source was the two people mentioned in the Fortune Tavern. I had indeed seen those two men and overheard them talking about the Black Cloth Alley. That's why I spoke out of turn. "
The leading expert of the Yun Family stared at Qin Yi from the corner of his eyes. "Is this the Black Cloth Alley you mentioned?"
"Yes, but I heard about this place by accident. At that time, I told Young Master Chao everything clearly. Many people witnessed it as well. "Qin Yi did not panic.
"Hmph, I have no interest in listening to your nonsense. If there's anything, you can go and argue with the clan elder. "
That person did not listen to Qin Yi's explanation at all. He waved his hand. "Take him away! If he resists, kill him without mercy! "
The elites of the Yun Family surged forward like wolves and tigers.
Qin Yi shouted, "I don't believe that there's no place to reason in this world! You don't need to do anything. I'll go by myself! "
As he spoke, Qin Yi strode out of the crowd.
"Hmph! Watch him! "
The elites of the Yun Family clustered around Qin Yi and boldly walked out. Before leaving, that person did not forget to threaten Nanny Zhou. "Ganniang Zhou, your Listen to the Rain Tower hides the filth. Your voice is getting bolder and bolder."
"Oh, this is really a great injustice."
…
In the mansion of the third clan elder, Qin Yi soon met the third clan elder of the Yun Family, Yun Chen. The last time he saw this elder was the night when Qin Yi had just returned to the capital, in the mansion of the Qin family.
However, compared to the last time, the current Yun Chen was obviously much more haggard. It could be seen that Yun Chao's death was a big blow to him.
However, although he looked haggard, there was obviously more ruthlessness and ruthlessness between the old man's eyebrows.
Although he was in the lion's den, Qin Yi was not afraid.
It was just that he still had to put on a superficial show. Under the escort of the elites of the Yun Family, Qin Yi pretended to be in fear and trepidation.
"Clan elder, this guy is the rogue cultivator who provided the clue to the Black Clothes Alley."
Yun Chen's gloomy eyes shot out like lightning.
Qin Yi only felt that his face was burning, as if something was scraping his face. It was extremely uncomfortable. He simply pretended to not dare to face it and lowered his head, as if to avoid Yun Chen's sharp eyes.
"Kid, you better behave when you see the clan elder. Quickly explain. "
"Clan elder Yun, if you want to catch the murderer, this has nothing to do with me. If you want to capture innocent people to be buried with you, then go ahead. In any case, I've already accepted my fate. "
Qin Yi pretended to be very depressed, as if he was already powerless to resist.
"Hmph! Kid, don't put on an act in front of this old man. You provided the clue to the Black Clothes Alley to Yun Chao, right? "
"Yes, I've already admitted it several times. At that time, the people from the Fortune Tavern brought Young Master Chao to search for two people. I just happened to meet those two people, and I accidentally heard them mention something about the Black Clothes Alley. Originally, I didn't want to step into these muddy waters. However, Young Master Yun was very aggressive, and if I didn't say it, I'm afraid that I would also suffer. So, I cured him and told him the truth. I really didn't think that someone would be so bold as to be so presumptuous in the capital, and dare to kill Young Master Chao. "
Qin Yi's explanation was reasonable.
However, Yun Chen's pair of eagle-like eyes stared fixedly at Qin Yi, as if probing the truth of his words.
Qin Yi had practiced these words countless times in his heart.
Therefore, Yun Chen repeatedly probed, but found nothing.
"What's your name, and where are you from?" Yun Chen suddenly asked.
"I'm Yi Qingzi, from the Ziluo Nation. Right, speaking of which, I've also served the Shi Clan before, which can be considered as indirectly serving you. "
Qin Yi's tone carried a hint of flattery.
"The Shi Clan?" Yun Chen couldn't help but be diverted by Qin Yi.
"Yes, a few days ago, the Shi Clan recruited wandering cultivators, and I was one of them. Afterwards, the team dispersed, and I had no one to rely on. I've been seeking pleasure in the Tingyu Tower. "
"Why did the team disperse?"
"Isn't it because of the rumor about White Deer Mountain? The wandering cultivators all felt that there was a chance, so how could they remain calm? Everyone planned to go to White Deer Mountain to try their luck, "Qin Yi said somewhat dejectedly.
"Why didn't you go?"
