Huang Qianjun bowed his head and admitted without offering any explanation.
Su Yi's expression softened slightly as he said, "Let it go this time."
Huang Qianjun, who was extremely anxious inside, breathed a sigh of relief and showed gratitude. He said, "Su Ge, rest assured, I won't dare to be clever again!"
Nie Beihu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel emotional. Huang Yunchong, you old fox, you've played a clever move! As long as his son follows Su Gongzi, how can he not become a great talent in the future?
"When I see my son Nie Teng later, I must let him get closer to Su Gongzi!" Nie Beihu thought to himself.
Then, he respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Su Gongzi, the Lord of the City instructed some time ago that your matters are the matters of the City Lord's Mansion. Now... how should we handle this incident?"
Wen Jieyuan is the son of Wen Changqing, and Su Yi is the son-in-law of the Wen family. Now they have forged a blood feud, and if this matter is not handled properly, it will lead to a great disaster and chaos.
Before Su Yi could make a decision, Wen Jieyuan suddenly struggled and turned his body, kneeling and kowtowing to Su Yi, begging loudly, "Su Yi, I was wrong, I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again. Please spare me. I promise not to reveal this matter!"
Wen Jieyuan trembled all over, his expression filled with fear.
Even though he was foolish, he could still sense that the situation was not good and immediately changed his attitude.
However, an even more unexpected scene unfolded.
Huang Qianjun, who was standing behind, suddenly took a step forward and grabbed the dagger stuck in Wen Jieyuan's back.
Then he viciously stabbed it.
Plop!
The sharp dagger pierced through Wen Jieyuan's body, and the tip of the blade, covered in splattering blood, protruded from his chest.
Wen Jieyuan's eyes widened in shock, his mouth opened, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Originally, the knife thrown by Su Yi was not enough to be fatal.
But Huang Qianjun's action directly took Wen Jieyuan's life!
Nie Beihu and his guards were all shocked, never expecting that it would be Huang Qianjun, this dandy, who would kill Wen Jieyuan.
Even Su Yi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise.
Huang Qianjun's chest heaved heavily, and he suddenly pulled out the dagger with a sharp sound, causing a spray of blood to splatter all over him.
However, he acted as if he was completely unaware, bowing his head and dare not look at Su Yi. His voice hoarse, he said, "Su Ge, I was being clever again..."
Su Yi looked deeply at this wicked young dandy and said, "Go wash the blood off your face."
Huang Qianjun was momentarily stunned, then surprised as he said, "Su Ge, you're not angry with me? Just now, I..."
"No need to say more, I understand," Su Yi waved his hand.
Huang Qianjun immediately grinned and hurried to clean himself up.
"Huang Qianjun is quite ruthless and daring. This strike was executed brilliantly!"
"This is like a declaration of allegiance. With just this act, he has clearly gained Su Gongzi's approval."
Nie Beihu finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but be amazed. "Why didn't I see it before? This arrogant dandy actually possesses such mental acumen and courage?"
If Su Yi had killed Wen Jieyuan earlier, it would have directly caused a conflict with the Wen family.
In such a situation, Huang Qianjun's intervention placed all the trouble on himself!
Even if the Wen family learned of the situation, they would only hold a grudge against Huang Qianjun.
This was the risk and price Huang Qianjun had to bear with this strike.
But it was also with this strike that he truly gained Su Yi's approval!
Nie Beihu, a shrewd individual, could certainly discern the underlying meaning.
That's why he couldn't help but sigh.
Self-reflecting, even if it were him, although he might make the same decision, he would probably hesitate and ponder before acting so decisively.
Nie Beihu clasped his fists and said, "Su Gongzi, this is the Xinghuang Medical Clinic. Many people have witnessed Wen Jieyuan's arrival here, and now that he and his guards have all perished, it's highly likely that this incident will not stay hidden."
Speaking of this, he spoke resolutely, "However, rest assured, Nie will find a way to resolve this matter!"
Wen Jieyuan's identity is not simple. He is the son of the main branch, Wen Changqing. With Nie Beihu's status and power, resolving this matter would still involve many thorny issues.
But he still accepted the task.
The reason is simple: behind him is City Lord Fu Shan, and behind Fu Shan is Princess Ling Yao!
With a clank, Su Yi sheathed his sword and casually said, "No need to trouble yourself. If Wen Changqing asks, just say that these people died at the hands of Wu Ruoqiu from the Yinsha Sect."
This is shifting the blame.
The brilliant part is that Wen Changqing must already be aware of the existence of "Wu Ruoqiu" and have some knowledge about this courtyard.
No one would suspect anything if his son's death was attributed to Wu Ruoqiu and the Yinsha Sect.
"The Yinsha Sect? Wu Ruoqiu?"
Nie Beihu was taken aback, clearly never having heard of this power or the person Wu Ruoqiu.
Su Yi's mind stirred, recalling something, and briefly explained the matter of Wu Ruoqiu nurturing corpse insects in this courtyard.
"Brilliant!" Nie Beihu exclaimed, unable to help applauding.
Blaming Wu Ruoqiu was undoubtedly a perfect fit!
Su Yi pondered and said, "Master Nie, remember to inform the City Lord to investigate whether there are similar haunted houses in other parts of the city. After all, if Wu Ruoqiu is dead and there is no one to nurture those corpse insects, they will inevitably invade the city and bring calamity to its inhabitants."
Nie Beihu's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists in salute. "Su Gongzi, your benevolence and thorough consideration are truly admirable. I will treat this matter as a top priority!"
He turned to the guards and said in a deep voice, "Go and handle the bodies in the courtyard. No matter what method you use, there must be no traces left that could be detrimental to Su Gongzi. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
The guards acknowledged the order and began to act.
Having served in the City Lord's mansion for years, they were all elite soldiers who were no strangers to bloodshed. Handling such matters was their expertise, and they were cunning and experienced.
When Huang Qianjun returned after cleaning the blood off his body, he saw that the courtyard was clean and tidy, as if the corpses of Wen Jieyuan and the others had evaporated into thin air.
Even the bloodstains on the ground had been completely cleaned, leaving no traces behind!
Huang Qianjun couldn't help but be astonished and murmured, "Master Nie, why do I feel like the guards of your City Lord's mansion have done this kind of thing more than once?"
Nie Beihu casually said, "It's just a matter of killing and destroying corpses. I'm not boasting, but any crime scene handled by our City Lord's mansion's guards, even if your Huang family sends people to investigate, you won't find a single clue."
With that, he glanced at the guards and said, "Do you all understand what needs to be done today?"
The guards all chuckled.
One of them said, "Master, it's the same old rule. You treat us to three meals, and we guarantee to keep our mouths shut. We'll pretend this incident never happened!"
Nie Beihu nodded. "You'll treat them to these three meals."
Su Yi looked at Huang Qianjun.
Huang Qianjun quickly patted his chest and said, "Su Ge, rest assured, I'll take care of it!"
Nie Beihu couldn't help but laugh.
Su Yi took the initiative to instruct Huang Qianjun to treat them to a meal, which undoubtedly indicated that he was satisfied with the arrangement he had just made.
That was enough!
After thinking for a moment, Nie Beihu suggested in a low voice, "Su Gongzi, I have sent someone to invite Wen Changqing. Later, you just need to observe."
Su Yi nodded.
Time passed slowly.
Half an hour later, a group of people hurriedly arrived outside the courtyard gate.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a sinister gaze. He was Wen Changqing, the second elder of the Wen family's main lineage.
However, there was a clearly gloomy and anxious look between his eyebrows at this moment. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he asked in a deep voice, "Commander Nie, where are my son and the guards?"
Nie Beihu's face showed a touch of sorrow, and he hoarsely replied, "Brother Changqing, when I arrived, Young Master and the guards by his side had already suffered an attack."
"What!?"
Wen Changqing felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes wide with rage. "Who! Who killed my son?"
He looked fierce and scanned everyone in the courtyard, his anger resembling a beast ready to devour someone.
He had two sons.
Wen Jieyuan was his eldest son, in the prime of his youth. Wen Changqing had invested a great deal of effort into cultivating him. He had planned to send Wen Jieyuan to the Qinghe Sword Sect for training in the near future.
Who would have thought that his son would die!
"Brother Changqing, my condolences."
Nie Beihu's expression grew even more sorrowful, sighing, "No one could have expected that this mansion harbored such vicious evil spirits. That sinister Taoist, Wu Ruochiu, is even more wicked. He used a type of evil insect called the Corpse-Eating Worms to devour the bodies of Young Master and the guards."
"Wu Ruochiu... Wu Ruochiu..."
Wen Changqing's face changed drastically, his temples throbbing with bulging veins. "That damned wandering Taoist. I considered him a friend, and yet he dared to kill my child!"
Suddenly, his gaze shifted to Su Yi, as if realizing something, he exclaimed, "No, this useless person stayed here last night and wasn't killed by the evil spirits. Why did my son die?"
His face was filled with shock and anger, sensing something suspicious.
Nie Beihu also wore a surprised expression and said, "Brother Changqing, so you not only know this wicked cultivator Wu Ruochiu but also knew about the danger in this cursed mansion?"
The nearby guards from the City Lord's mansion joined in, clamoring and accusing Wen Changqing with angry glares.
"Wen Changqing, how dare you allow a demon to wreak havoc here!"
"We never expected the Wen family to be involved in such wicked deeds behind the scenes. It's simply unforgivable!"
"The Wen family and the sinister cultivator Wu Ruochiu from the Yin Sha Sect are in cahoots, guilty as charged. We must report this to Lord Fu Shan!"
...
The grief of losing his son should have made Wen Changqing furious, but after being reproached and questioned in such a manner, he suddenly trembled as if doused with a bucket of cold water, regaining some composure.
He took a deep breath and explained with an unpleasant expression, "Lord Nie, if I were in cahoots with Wu Ruochiu, why would he kill my son?"
"That's hard to say. Perhaps there were disagreements and conflicts between you that led him to target your son," Nie Beihu said coldly. "Here's what we'll do. You will accompany us to the City Lord's mansion, and let Lord Fu Shan oversee justice. The truth of right and wrong will be revealed, and you will be cleared of any suspicion."
Wen Changqing's body stiffened, his chest heaving rapidly.
Before he could make a decision, Nie Beihu waved his hand and said, "Bring Wen Changqing to the City Lord's mansion!"
Seeing this, Huang Qianjun, who had been spectating with a curious mindset, couldn't help but inhale sharply.
He had seen people being cunning, but he had never seen anyone as cunning as Nie Beihu!
Not only did he shift the blame onto Wu Ruochiu and the Yin Sha Sect, but he also took the opportunity to turn the tables and take Wen Changqing away.
It was too devious!
If they went to the City Lord's mansion, with the relationship between Lord Fu Shan and Su Yi, Wen Changqing was undoubtedly doomed!
