n

n

nIt was the divine sword guards ‘turn.

n

nShen Yiming was very busy dealing with official business. There were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

n

nHis eyes lit up when he saw Xiao ran.

n

n“Come and help.”

n

n“You’ve pulled him in just like that?” Xiao ran teased.

n

nShe took a pen and helped him deal with it.

n

nHalf an hour later.

n

nThe two of them sat at the table and drank tea.

n

n“Compared to the past, my life now is not happy at all. I have to take some time out every day to deal with work.” Shen Yiming sighed.

n

n“Don’t take advantage of me. There are so many people who want to sit in this position.” Xiao ran rolled his eyes at him.

n

n“You don’t want to.”

n

nShen Yiming took the teapot and poured a cup for Xiao ran before filling his own.

n

n“Has Shi Ming’s matter been settled?”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

n“The eleventh is getting married.”

n

n“My days are not bad. I’m quite envious of both my career and love.” Shen Yiming sighed.

n

nThe topic changed.

n

n“Have you heard about what happened last night?”

n

n“What do you mean?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“The second Prince, the third Prince, and Nong family.”

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran responded.

n

n“When I went to see Qu Bo’ an, I passed by the farmer’s house. They were just killed. The murderer left first, and there were no survivors in the house.”

n

n“Have you seen Nong family’s inherited martial arts, the Saint heart treasure book?” Shen Yiming asked.

n

n“It’s with me,” Xiao ran took out the Saint heart Grimoire.

n

nHe then took out the life-force regeneration life-extending pill.

n

n“You might not believe me, so I picked it up in the yard.”

n

n“？？？”Shen Yiming had a series of question marks on his head.

n

n“Did you pick it up?”

n

n“Although I don’t believe it either, it’s the truth.” Xiao ran said.

n

nHe read through the Saint heart Grimoire once more before putting it down.

n

n“Although his attack is ordinary, he is terrifyingly strong in healing and expelling poison.” Shen Yiming’s expression was serious.

n

nHe smacked his head.

n

n“I almost forgot about that.”

n

n“What’s the matter?” Xiao ran was curious.

n

n“Nong Hua!”

n

n“Nong Hua?”

n

n“Yes.” Shen Yiming nodded heavily.

n

n“From what I’ve heard, Nong Hua went back to her mother’s house yesterday and disappeared. Besides her, the second Prince’s Jiang Fei also went missing. Let’s not talk about Jiang Fei for now. Let’s talk about Nong Hua first. Do you think the murderer is after her?”

n

n“On the way to the fu residence, I met the third Prince’s butler PEI Tao, who was still searching the city.” Xiao ran said.

n

n“I’ll analyze them one by one. ” Shen Yiming said.

n

n“Let’s talk about Nong Hua first. Suppose she went back to her mother’s house to retrieve the Sacred Heart treasure book yesterday, and the murderer followed her, tied her up, and then exterminated the entire Nong family. According to what you said just now, the Sacred Heart treasure book was found among the flowers. This makes sense.”

n

nBefore Xiao ran could reply, he shook his head vigorously.

n

n“But it’s not right! Nong family’s inherited martial arts have always been passed down to men and not women. Even if Nong Hua was the third Prince’s concubine, even if Nong Liang wasn’t here, Nong family wouldn’t have passed the Saint heart Grimoire to her. ”

n

nXiao ran added,”this elixir is a healing elixir of a very high grade. It’s especially good at recovering one’s Foundation. Do you think it’s a deal between Nong Hua and Nong Meng to exchange it for the Sacred Heart manual?”

n

nThe two’s eyes lit up.

n

n“Nong Liang’s Foundation has been destroyed. He urgently needs this life-force regeneration life-extending pill.” Shen Yiming said.

n

nA new problem arose.

n

n“Nong Hua is Nong Meng’s daughter, and Nong Liang is her younger brother. Why would she do this when her younger brother’s Foundation was destroyed?”

n

n“Unless she’s not Nong Meng’s biological daughter.” Xiao ran said.

n

n“Impossible!” Shen Yiming denied.

n

n“Before she entered the third Prince’s estate, the Imperial Clan Court sent people to investigate her background. If there had been any problems, she would have been captured long ago. There’s no way she could still be in peace.”

n

n“Only the people involved can know about this.” Xiao ran said.

n

n“If the murderer is after her, then combined with the second Prince’s case, there’s only one possibility.”

n

n“First Prince!” Shen Yiming blurted out.

n

n“Even if he didn’t do it, it must have been the doing of one of the other princes.” Xiao ran said.

n

nThe two of them were silent.

n

nEverything required evidence. Without evidence, they couldn’t arrest him based on their guesses.

n

nPulling one hair would affect the whole body.

n

nEspecially at this critical moment, Emperor Sheng Wen, that B * stard, used the excuse of being assassinated by the ninth Prince to Fish in the Dark.

n

n“Since the murderer caught them, why did he let them go? Also, why did Nong Hua want the Sacred Heart Grimoire? Even if this cultivation technique is very important, it’s not worth braving the storm to go there, right?”

n

nXiao ran took a sip of tea. Seeing that there was no more tea left, he took the teapot and poured himself a cup.

n

n“It should be related to the Crown Prince. There should be people who can’t sit still.”

n

n“Ancestor Xueli still hasn’t spoken?” Shen Yiming asked.

n

n“No, I didn ‘t!” Xiao ran shook his head.

n

n“This old man’s mouth is very tight. He’s been tortured miserably every day, but he doesn’t say a word.”

n

n“Didn’t you try other methods?”

n

n“It’ll be fine if we succeed, but if we fail, it’ll be a pity. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nShen Yiming understood what he meant.

n

nBloodfury’s cultivation was unparalleled, and he stood on the ceiling of combat power.

n

nAs long as he was still alive, whether it was his blood essence or other things, they would all be of great benefit.

n

nThere was a moment of silence.

n

nShen Yiming said,”he’s a dead man anyway. Why don’t you try?”

n

n“Try it?”

n

n“Yes.” Shen Yiming nodded.

n

n“Alright! Let’s try. ” Xiao ran agreed.

n

nHe stood up from his chair.

n

n“I’ll go with you,”

n

n“No need! Have people keep a close eye on the first Prince and the others. Aside from the three of them, have people secretly keep an eye on the other princes as well. At this point, we can’t afford to be careless. ”

n
