Turning around the street corner, he didnt return to the Xus house, but instead rushed straight to the Yue Lai Inn.

  Back at the Xu familys place, it was already deep into the night. Liu Wuxie continued to immerse himself in his cultivation, while the investigation team was like an uncertain sharp sword that could fall on his head at any moment.

  The Taohu Tian Jue gave him an extraordinary Dan Tian, unparalleled true energy, and a strong physique. However, the drawbacks were also very obvious, and his breakthrough speed was much slower than that of ordinary people.

  Everything has its pros and cons!

  The sky is slightly bright, the entire Canglang City has a kind of wind and rain are coming, the four major families have ordered their disciples to minimize going out as much as possible. The investigation team arrived at the four major families today, starting their investigation from them.

  Spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, after a night of cultivation, the true energy became much stronger. However, there was still a long way to go before breaking through to the Fourth Heaven of the Innate Realm.

  "The head of the household, the investigation team first arrived at Songs house and started investigating from there."

  One after another, messages were sent back to the Xu family. Xu Yilin sat upright in the great hall, waved his hand and ordered the scouts to continue gathering information and report back as soon as possible.

  Liu Wuxie was practicing knife skills in the courtyard. His father-in-law told him that there were no other matters, and he should stay at home as much as possible and not go out for the next two days.

  An hour later, the inspection team walked out of Songs house gate, and Song Tianhao personally saw them off. The entire Song family breathed a sigh of relief. This inspection team represented the Great Yan imperial court, led by an elderly man with a flower-patterned hat.

  "Mr. Kong, I apologize for the inadequate hospitality. Please bear with us. Once the investigation is over, Song will definitely treat you with a feast. I wont waste any more of your time. I hope the investigation goes smoothly."

  Song Tian Hao bowed his head and walked with his luggage, the old man with a flower-patterned robe was surnamed Kong, his real name was Kong Yi, a great figure of the Great Yan Imperial Court, but he had no actual power, yet he was highly respected by people, because he also had another identity, the current crown prince of the Great Yan Imperial Courts teacher.

  Four others, including a military figure, a member of the imperial family, and one from the Imperial Academy, have also arrived. The deceased soldiers were formerly students at the Imperial Academy.

  The battlefield killed the enemy, and tens of thousands of soldiers died. It wouldnt be so laborious to mobilize the troops. This time is different. These Shi Po Jun privately left the camp, after investigation, they embezzled 10 million gold coins of military expenses.

  Such a big problem has broken out within the army, this matter must be investigated clearly, the living must see people, and the dead must see corpses.

  If you bring military expenses to rely on an enemy country, this is a great shame for the Great Yan Imperial Court, and this should be the most crucial point.

  "Lets just send Master Song off from here, sorry for the trouble!"

  Kong bowed his head and made a courtesy call, although he was a master, but there was no air of superiority at all, which is also the most important reason why he was highly respected by people.

  Watching the investigation team leave, Song Tianhao let out a sigh of relief. The five people were all seasoned veterans, and any slight mistake would have led to them being caught in their trap. Fortunately, none of the Song familys disciples had left Changlan City during this period, so the investigation ended quickly.

  "Homeowner, next stop is Wan Jia."

  The old man walked over and said in a low voice that Songs family had washed their hands of the matter, leaving three families, each one as anxious as if sitting on pins and needles.

  "I heard that Xu Jias kid has come back?"

  Song Tianhao asked, the Array Hall had stabilized but not fully recovered. The materials Liu Wuxie needed had been prepared a few days ago and were waiting for him to come and repair the array. The fate of the Song family was now tied to his.

  "Yes, I came back yesterday!"

  The elder replied truthfully, mentioning Liu Wuxie, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, and the knife from that day still left a lingering fear in his heart.

  "Organize it and tell Xus family exactly what the investigation team asked today, without missing a single word. Dont let others know."

  Song Tianhao suddenly made a decision to inform the Xu family in advance about the investigation teams inquiries, allowing them to prepare their defenses. If this were to reach the ears of the investigation team, it would be a serious offense.

  "This is not right, landlord!"

  The Great Elder wanted to stop this, which was not in line with the rules. First of all, the Xu family ranked last, and the Song family ranked first. The order of this investigation team was also divided according to the family level, and the first choice was the Song family.

  Secondly, leaking news is equivalent to secretly informing the investigation team, and the Song family will be doomed.

  "Lately, our Song family has been short of a few weapons, so we sent someone to the weapon shop to buy a few back."

  Song Tianhao waved his hand and walked into the gate. The elder understood and immediately arranged for someone to take care of this matter. At this time, going directly to the Xu family would be like saying "this place has no silver three hundred taels". Buying weapons was the most suitable thing to do.

  Half an hour later, Xu Yilin received an unexpected surprise, and the investigation report from Songs family was delivered to his face.

  "The Song family intentionally leaked investigation information to us, what kind of medicine are they selling in their gourd?"

  Xu Yilin snapped his fingers, and the report in his hand turned into ashes. The investigation information inside was all revealed.

  "Its not a bad thing anyway, we know in advance what the investigation team will ask, so we can prepare!"

  Lan Zhi guessed a little, but its still uncertain for the time being, and its not good to make a rash judgment.

  An hour later, the investigation team walked out of the Wan family house. Wan Rongzhe himself saw them off at the door, with several Wan family elders following behind him. Judging from their expressions, the Wan family had passed the test, and the investigation team hadnt found anything.

  Next stop Tianjia!

  After investigating for two hours, from the Tian family walked out, it was already afternoon, the investigation team still had no leads, several big families provided clues, as well as their recent activity trajectories, had nothing to do with Shi Pojun.

  Before arriving at Xus house, Xu Yilin was already standing outside the gate waiting.

  "Junior Xu Yilin has met Old Kong..." He bowed and greeted, then turned to the people behind him and nodded a few times, which was considered as a greeting.

  "Mr. Xujia has been polite, we are acting on orders, if there is any offense, please forgive us, Mr. Xujia."

  Kong Lao returned with great courtesy. The group of people, led by Xu Yilin, entered the main hall of the Xu family. All the Xu family members who were outside and in charge of affairs rushed back, as they all had to undergo investigation.

  Everyone sat down, the Xu family servants stood on both sides, waiting for their interrogation. Each person didnt dare to breathe heavily. Although Xu Yilin had received the investigation report sent by the Song family and thought about how to answer, he was still a bit nervous.

  "Xu family head, Im asking you the first question now. Ten days ago, who among your Xu family members entered the Sunset Mountains?"

  Kong Lao did not speak, and a middle-aged man walked out from behind him. He was a military figure, almost identical to the report provided by Songs family. His name was Bai Qiu, and he served as the Wanfu Zhang of the Tianzi Camp of the Shibopo Army.

  The deceased Zhou Hu and fifty members of the Shi Po army were under his command, so it was normal for him to interrogate them.

  "General Hui Bai, recently our Xu family has three convoys that have entered the Luori Mountain Range to transport resource minerals. Here is their information."

  After finishing, Lan Zhi handed over a list to Bai Qiu, which recorded the detailed information of each person, including their family members, strength division and so on. The records were very detailed.

  Bai Qiu took a look and handed the list over to Old Man Kong.

  The person with the highest strength on the list is Qi Zhi, but his innate sevenfold is not enough to deal with Shi Pojun.

  It is clear that they are not capable of killing Shi Ba Jun, so it can be ruled out. Everything has to have an exception, and the investigation team cannot make a conclusion just because of one list.

  Kong Lao finished reading and did not comment, handing over the list to others for them to take a look.

  One by one, it was finally passed into the hands of a middle-aged man with an eagle nose. He looked at it much more carefully than the others. A drop of cold sweat slid down from Xus forehead. Of all the people there, he wasnt worried about any of them except this one person.

  His name is Xue Chunyu, an official in the imperial court, serving as a Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue. He is from the Xue family in the capital city, and it was he who met Xue Yu at the beast arena last time. This time, the investigation between the Wan and Tian families went very smoothly, his contributions are undeniable.

  "Xu Jia Zhu, this list is incorrect!"

  Xue Chunyus face was livid with rage as he slammed the list onto the table, his anger palpable. Even Kong Lao was taken aback by this response. The four major families would not dare to provide a fake list, but the Xu family seemed like a rootless duckweed, neither having curried favor with the aristocratic families of Gods City nor having any powerful backers. In the face of the investigation teams inquiry, they dared to deceive and cheat, attempting to hoodwink them with a fake list - this was a grave offense against the ruler.

  "Whats wrong?"

  Xu Yilin gritted his teeth and stood up, asking cautiously.

  "As far as I know, my son-in-law entered the Sunset Mountains eight days ago and only came back yesterday. What I said is true."

  Xue Chunyu asked again, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  "Reporting to Minister Xue, the investigation team investigated that ten days ago, someone entered the Sunset Mountains. It is confirmed that your son-in-law did enter the Sunset Mountains, as you said, it was eight days ago, so he didnt appear on the list."

  Xu Yilin hastily explained that Liu Wuxies entry into Luoshan Mountains could no longer be concealed, so he simply admitted it.

  Shi Po Jun last appeared in Cang Lang City half a month ago and there has been no news of him since then.

  Liu Wuxie entered the Sunset Mountains eight days ago, and there is a slight difference in time between them.

  Zi En Shi would not admit that Shi Po Jun was the one he sent out half a month ago to plunder the Xu familys mine, no one mentioned it, including the Tian and Wan families. After Shi Po Jun entered the Lu Ri Mountain Range, he lost all trace.

  When Shi Po Jun disappeared, Liu Wu Xie was still in Cang Lang City cultivating. Anybody with a discerning mind would know that the two sides had no connection.

  "Who told you that we only investigated the list of people who entered the Sunset Mountains ten days ago? You deliberately concealed this person, do you know something or is your Xu family intentionally covering up for him? Is Shi Pojuns disappearance related to him?"

  This is simply pinning a crime on the Xu family, Bai Qiu revealed a hint of strange color. In theory, entering the Luoshan Mountains eight days ago was not very suspicious. The general situation of the four major families, Qi Enshi had already made a detailed report before coming.

  Liu Wuxie is a waste material thing, and it also appears on the list naturally.

  "Xue Shilang, what do you mean by this? Our Xu family has always been law-abiding and just, never doing anything that harms the heavens or goes against reason. We have also never done anything to harm the great Yan imperial court. Please respect our Xu family."

  Xu Yilin raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination. He was still unclear why Xue Chunyu wanted to target the Xu family and he definitely couldnt let it have anything to do with Shi Pojuns disappearance.

  "What I mean is very simple, let the son-in-law come out and confront him face to face. In the past eight days at Laojun Mountain, what he did, who he met, there must be witnesses present to prove his innocence."

  If you want to add crimes, how can you worry about having no excuse!

  Xu Yilins mind flashed with eight big characters, nakedly giving Xu Jia a guilty verdict. This investigation must have an answer; otherwise, how can he explain it to the Emperor?

  In just one breath of time, Xuyilin figured out the key point. In the end, they needed a scapegoat.

  The disappearance of Shi Ba Jun is a humiliation for the Great Yan Imperial Court.

  This humiliation needs someone to take responsibility for it. Since it happened in Canglang City, of course the people of Canglang City should take responsibility for it.

  The Wan and Tian families have tied themselves to the big tree of Xue family, so they naturally dont dare to move. The Song family is close to the Li family in the Imperial City, and before the investigation, the Li family probably made a call in advance. In addition, the Song family has no disciples entering the Lu Ri Mountain Range, and the investigation took less than half an hour.

  The grand hall fell into a dead silence. The Xu familys attendants were no fools and had already picked up on the underlying tone, their hearts sinking to the bottom of the valley.
