I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

I didn't see anything?

Zhao Zian's eyes narrowed.

That's even more terrifying.

Zhang San, the lackey who had been kneeling on the ground wailing and crying, stopped howling.

His hands began to grope Liu Chen's body.

No!

No!

There isn't one anywhere!

The wooden box containing the pills has vanished!

"It was you! You did it!"

He pointed at the people at Jishetang.

"It was your Jishetang that did this! You're selling fake medicine! No! You're selling poison!"

"You poisoned our young master!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

"What? Murder for money?"

"I knew it! It was a trap!"

"That Jishetang is so heartless! Three thousand one hundred taels! And they even took a life!"

Su Mei was stunned by the sudden accusation.

She has run Jishetang for many years and values ​​her reputation above all else. How could she have ever suffered such slander?

If this dirty water is poured on properly, Jishetang's century-old foundation will be destroyed in an instant!

Zhao Zian patted the back of her hand.

"You accuse us of murder for money, where's the evidence?"

"evidence?"

Zhang San pointed to Liu Chen's corpse on the ground.

"A person died right in front of your pharmacy! The pills have vanished! This is the evidence!"

"Your Jishetang is a shady business! You tricked our young master out of his money, and now you want him dead!"

He turned to another lackey, Li Si.

"Li Si! Go quickly! Go and report to the master! Tell him that the young master was killed by the people of Jishetang! Let them come and avenge the young master!"

Li Si suddenly realized what was happening.

Yes! We need to find the master!

Even if the sky falls, Liu Wanshan, the head of the Liu family, will take it down!

Zhao Zian's eyelid twitched.

Trouble is brewing.

Liu Wanshan is one of the top three wealthiest businessmen in Liuxi Town, with connections and influence reaching far and wide.

More importantly, this man lost his wife in middle age and doted on his eldest son, Liu Chen, to an extreme degree.

Liu Chen is now dead.

One can imagine the fury Liu Wanshan would unleash.

"It's over..."

Su Mei's body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

"Don't panic."

Zhao Zian helped Su Mei up.

"A clear conscience fears no accusation. We didn't kill anyone, so no one can frame us."

Su Mei calmed down a bit.

Zhao Zian squatted down again to examine Liu Chen's body.

That tiny red dot...

He extended his finger, his fingertip swirling with internal energy, and brought it close to Liu Chen's brow.

"Buzz".

A surge of energy erupted from the red dot, aiming straight for Zhao Zian's fingertips.

Zhao Zian's cyan internal energy surged at his fingertips, crushing that aura.

After committing murder, he left such a vicious mark on the corpse.

That old man was ruthless to the extreme!

A smile curved Zhao Zian's lips.

You don't want me to investigate?

I'm determined to get to the bottom of this!

Do you think you can kill without leaving a trace, without any flaws?

Unfortunately, you met me.

"Look everyone! He's moving the corpse again!"

Zhang San's shout rang out.

"He's trying to destroy the evidence! Don't let him succeed! The officials are on their way! The Liu family is on their way too!"

Many onlookers were filled with righteous indignation.

"We can't let him get away!"

"Yes! Surround it! Wait for Magistrate Zhang to come and decide what to do!"

At this critical moment.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

The crowd parted to make way.

At the street corner, a horse-drawn carriage was seen speeding towards them.

The carriage had not come to a complete stop.

The carriage curtain was then lifted by a large hand.

A middle-aged man got out of the car.

He is Liu Chen's father, Liu Wanshan.

"Master! Master, you've finally arrived!"

Zhang San hugged Liu Wanshan's leg and cried loudly.

"Young master... young master was murdered by a villain!"

Liu Wanshan's gaze fell on the corpse.

He walked to the body and squatted down.

It took him more than ten breaths to stand up.

"What happened?"

Zhang San pointed at Zhao Zi'an.

"It's them! Jishetang! They sold poison to the young master and then killed him! Master, you must avenge the young master!"

Liu Wanshan's gaze fell on Zhao Zian.

"Jishetang?"

He turned to Su Mei, who was trembling with fear beside him.

"Are you the shopkeeper?"

"I am……"

Under Liu Wanshan's imposing aura, Su Mei could barely utter a complete sentence.

"very good."

Liu Wanshan nodded.

"Someone come here."

"exist!"

"Seal off Jishetang."

"Apprehend all those involved and bring them back to the mansion for rigorous interrogation."

"Any resistance will be met with death."

"yes!"

A dozen guards drew their knives and approached Zhao Zian and his group.

"Master Liu! You're treating human life like dirt!"

Su Mei was both shocked and furious.

"We're innocent! We didn't kill him!"

Liu Wanshan simply said:

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, I will find out the truth once we return to the Liu residence."

Once you enter the Liu family's door...

Whether he lives or dies will depend entirely on his decision.

The guards were about to rush up.

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Zian spoke.

Liu Wanshan has identified Zhao Zian as a suspect.

"Do you have something to say?"

"I can understand Master Liu's deep love for his son."

Zhao Zian met his gaze, neither humble nor arrogant.

"But it's a bit too domineering of you to shut down someone's shop without even knowing the facts."

"overbearing?"

Liu Wanshan sneered.

"In Liuxi, I, Liu, have the right to be domineering."

"Now, I'm giving you a chance."

Tell me why you killed my son, and I might leave you a whole corpse.

Zhao Zian smiled.

"Master Liu, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"Your son's death has nothing to do with us. He was killed instantly by a martial arts master."

"That pill was also taken away by that expert using telekinesis."

Zhao Zian paused for a moment.

"The murderer left a contingency plan on your son's body. I advise you not to let anyone touch him, or you will face the consequences."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Martial arts master?

Retrieving objects remotely?

A sinister backup plan?

Is this a story told in a traditional storytelling style?

"Hahaha……"

Liu Wanshan was so angry that he laughed instead.

He's spent half his life in the business world; he's seen all kinds of people.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone like Zhao Zian, who dared to spout nonsense even when facing death.

"Good! What a quick-witted young man!"

"I'd like to see if your bones are as hard as your mouth!"

"Take it down!"

Without further hesitation, the guards rushed forward.

Su Mei closed her eyes.

Doctor Wang and Accountant Sun were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

Several muffled thuds were heard.

The guards who rushed to the front were sent flying backwards.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Zhao Zian remained standing in the same spot.

Liu Wanshan was surprised.

Master!

The guards around him were all skilled men he had hired at great expense; ordinary people, even three or five, could not get close to him.

But in front of this young man, he couldn't even last a single move!

No, no one even saw how he made his move!

Is it...

Was what he just said true?

"The magistrate has arrived!"
