And he realized he had never seen Fan Wu before.
At least...
He had lived in Nanjun Prefecture Government for so many years.
He had never encountered Fan Wu.
"This guy..." A menacing feeling suddenly crept up on the vile figure, who muttered under his breath in a voice he thought only he could hear, "Why does he seem even more arrogant than I am?"
"..."
Just at that moment!
Outside the Xin Feng Building, a loud shout suddenly erupted: "The Nanjun Prefecture Government’s celestial envoy is handling affairs, all idle people clear out!!!"
The celestial envoy.
Has arrived!
A large group of celestial envoy members rushed into the Xin Feng Building, and besides them, many constables from the yamen also hurried over.
Compared to the celestial envoy members who appeared composed, the constables seemed winded.
They clearly had run until they were out of breath.
They were as tired as dogs, tongues lolling out.
Panting heavily.
"The... the Prefecture... the Prefecture Government is here!" gasped an arrest officer, leaning against a wall, "All the thieves inside... don’t, don’t even think about running!!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Together, the celestial envoy members and the constables numbered around twenty or thirty individuals, and they had the whole Xin Feng Building totally surrounded.
The constables had already drawn their blades.
Their stance was so intimidating that the common folk outside dared not gather to watch the excitement.
They wished they could flee miles away.
Fearful that trouble would come upon them.
"My lord! Honored lords!" The so-called proprietor of Xin Feng Building, witnessing the arrival of both celestial envoy and government officials, immediately put on a bittersweet face, tinged with grievance and fear.
Then, he immediately began to speak: "These two criminals have been on a killing spree within the Xin Feng Building, so cruel in their methods! They... they killed all the girls I had invited!!"
"That’s over fifty lives! Over fifty lives! They even wanted to kill me..."
"If not for the timely arrival of the lords, I might have already been beheaded!"
His voice was exceptionally clear at such a time.
It made all members of the celestial envoy and the constables fix their gaze on Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing while others looked at the bodies strewn across the floor.
Then came a chorus of gasps.
"Good gracious!!" A constable from the yamen wore an expression of sheer horror; he had been a constable for nearly ten years, yet he had never seen a scene as bloody as the one before him.
The fifty-odd corpses were strewn about haphazardly.
It was quite frightening to look at!
The foul stench of blood slowly permeating the air further assaulted everyone’s nostrils, turning the faces of the constables with weaker psychological endurance pale in an instant.
Then they leaned against the wall, retching.
"Ugh! Too... too many dead, right? Ugh! Just what kind of savage murderer could commit such a heinous crime?"
"Those two must be the killers, right?!"
"Ugh! Ugh!!!"
"Damn it! What are you vomiting for? Each one of you is a constable from the yamen, earning your salary from the Great Zhou Dynasty, yet faced with a scene like this you all retch like that! Truly disgraceful in front of the celestial envoy!"
"Boss, we don’t want to vomit either, but this is just too bloody! That guy’s head even exploded!"
"Right!"
"..."
Compared to these emotionally intense constables, the members of the celestial envoy were much calmer, having seen what bigger storms? The scene before their eyes, while somewhat gruesome and shocking, was still within their tolerance range.
Each member of the celestial envoy looked at Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing with vigilant eyes.
It was as if they had already concluded that the two were the murderers.
This bewildered Yun Jiuqing greatly.
"Why are you all staring at us?" Yun Jiuqing couldn’t help but speak out, "Based on that guy’s unilateral testimony, you suspect us? That owner of Xin Feng Building is a vile figure who has done countless inhumane deeds!"
Yun Jiuqing recounted all that she had witnessed, only to realize that the people before her...
Were still looking at her with the same suspicion as before.
This made Yun Jiuqing even more shocked.
She finally sensed that something was amiss.
"You say the owner of Xin Feng Building provides only his side of the story, but aren’t you also presenting just your side?" One of the members of the celestial envoy suddenly spoke up, "You claim the owner conspired with a group of vile figures, commanding evil spirits to harm the people."
"So..."
"Where’s the evidence?!"
By the look of his attire, it was clear he was an official of the celestial envoy, a Hundred Households, which meant he was a person of not insignificant rank.
This Hundred Households continued, "And you two... our official sees that both of your bodies are stained with the blood of the deceased. Especially that red jade sword in your hand, the blood on it also belongs to the victims, doesn’t it?"
"Just from these two points, we can deduce that you both are prime suspects! As for the so-called vile figures and evil spirits you mentioned... whether it’s true or not..."
"Our celestial envoy will naturally investigate thoroughly, ensuring no one is wrongfully accused, and also ensuring no criminal is spared!"
"However, before that..."
"Before things are cleared up..."
