Chapter 455 Skeleton Temple [Seeking monthly votes! ]

After inspecting the scene outside the city, Liang Yue carefully examined the body again, but still had no clear clue as to the cause of this murder that occurred outside Yunlu City.

"We have to confirm the identity of the deceased first." He said thoughtfully, "Whether it is a revenge killing or not, we can only determine it after the identity is confirmed."

These days, if a cultivator kills someone outside the city and there are no witnesses, it is impossible to solve the case based solely on the method used.

There is no solution for a martial arts expert to kill someone with a single blow and then turn around and run away.

If the identity of the deceased can be confirmed, perhaps we can find a breakthrough through social relations.

“However, since several warriors died in one place, we can check the gangs near Qingdu and the military…” Liang Yue mentioned a few key directions and sent people out to investigate.

The Qingdu Prison Department has long been short of staff. Now, the evidence of the crimes of the big families has piled up like a mountain, and each one needs someone from the Prison Department to verify the authenticity. If it were any other place, the situation would have been paralyzed long ago.

Fortunately, the prince brought a large number of imperial guards from the imperial city. These people are highly skilled, experienced, obedient to orders, and reliable in everything they do.

As the imperial guards, they are indeed superior to the local detectives in all aspects, even though the quality of the detectives in Yunlu City is already high. Even if they are not full-time here, they can quickly adapt and complete the task very well.

After completing the task, he returned to the Criminal Justice Department.

He has been quite busy lately, and such an emergency case cannot occupy all his attention.

There were a lot of visiting cards piled up in the Criminal Justice Department. Many people, after being left with nowhere else to turn, wanted to meet Liang Yue in person to give gifts and beg for mercy.

Liang Yue was also not seen at all.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He is now determined to wipe out the aristocratic families in Yunlu City, and even gods cannot stop them.

But at this time, Wang Rulin came up again.

"There is reliable information that someone from Yunlu City went to the Rakshasa Ghost Market and paid a large sum of money to hire someone to kill you, and the job was taken over by someone from the Skeleton Temple." The master said directly.

"Skeleton Temple?" Liang Yue frowned.

As one of the pillars of the Demon Sect, the strength of the Skeleton Temple should not be underestimated. It is different from the scattered Qingdu underworld.

"Should I invite a few more seniors to take charge?" he said thoughtfully.

"No need." Wang Rulin showed a look of great foresight and said, "I have already found out. The financial sponsor behind them will invite you to a banquet at Wanfulou tomorrow at noon. The assassin will then take action. You just need to show up. I have a brilliant plan."

"Wanfulou?" Liang Yue called over the two clerks outside the door, "Help me check the visiting cards from the past two days to see if there is any invitation to go to Wanfulou?"

After searching for a while, the two shook their heads in unison, "Sir, no."

"Huh?" Just when Liang Yue was wondering, another bailiff came in from outside the door.

The man shouted loudly, "Sir! The head of the Qi family wants you to meet at Wanfulou tomorrow. He said there are important clues about the Zhao Faxian case!"

"So it's... him?" Qi Delong's empty face appeared in Liang Yue's mind.

In the recent days of fighting against the aristocratic families, the Qi family, which has always been the number one family in Qingdu, has suffered several major attacks and is now in a very dangerous situation.

It seems that the situation has reached the point where the dog has reached the point of desperate measures.

"Don't worry, disciple." Wang Rulin laughed and said, "The demon cultivators in the Skeleton Temple don't know you. Their plan is to place a plate of Qinghe vinegar fish in front of you to make the assassin recognize the target. We can use their trick against you."

Liang Yue was a little surprised, "Isn't this too detailed?"

Wang Rulin stroked his beard and said proudly, "It was naturally me who set up the trap for them in the Rakshasa Ghost Market."

……

The noble families could not find strong people to be assassins in Yunlu City. According to previous experience, in order to complete this assassination, at least a grandmaster must be able to try. Although he could afford the money and resources, which grandmaster in the world is not well-known? They are all hanging around in the four seas and nine states. Who dares to kill Liang Yue and offend Xuanmen?

Therefore, it is impossible to find people through regular channels, so one can only travel far to the capital and issue tasks at the legendary Rakshasa Ghost Market.

The powerful demons have no taboos and dare to do anything.

If I kill you, I will offend Xuanmen. If I don’t kill you, will Xuanmen forgive me?

However, it is not easy to contact a reliable demon cultivator. After all, there are many demons and monsters in the Rakshasa Ghost Market, and their identities are a mystery. What if someone takes the deposit but doesn't do the job?
At this time, you need to find a reliable intermediary.

The middleman with the best reputation in Rakshasa Ghost Market is undoubtedly the respected lecturer.

So the Qi family took the lead, and several large families worked together to contact the lecturer in the Rakshasa Ghost Market and asked him to help find a reliable killer.

Although the lecturer himself was not there, his young apprentice was there and was just as efficient and quickly contacted the Skeleton Temple.

The left and right guards under the Bone Lord will work together to complete this assassination.

After understanding the whole story, Liang Yue couldn't help but smile, "Then tell Patriarch Qi that I will attend the banquet tomorrow."

Master is hated by everyone in the Xuan sect, but he is truly highly respected in the Demon sect.

The next morning, Liang Yue came to Wanfulou alone without any extra followers.

The building had already been cleared out, Qi Delong and several young masters of the Qi family had already arrived and were waiting. When they saw Liang Yue coming, they all came downstairs to greet him.

"You are so polite." Liang Yue smiled and bowed, "We are all elders, how can I ask you to come down to pick me up? Please don't blame me for being late."

"Not too late, not too late." Everyone smiled, "We really want to meet Lord Liang, and we are all a little anxious."

"Yes." Someone else said, "I have been asking to see Lord Liang these days. It is so difficult to see you once."

"It's a special period recently." Liang Yue responded calmly, "If Patriarch Qi hadn't said there were important clues, I wouldn't have come."

He glanced at Qi Delong who was sitting in the main seat. Although he still looked a little weak, he had a deep aura and some bearing of a patriarch.

The Qi family's assessment of the situation was very accurate. This time, Qingdu's action against the aristocratic families was not a trend of the times or the will of the people, nor was there any conspiracy behind it.

It was entirely a personal act of Liang Yue.

In the struggle between the imperial court and the aristocratic families, killing people often cannot solve the problem, because the people on the surface may just be pawns standing out, and there is a game of forces from all sides in secret.

But this time it is possible, because as long as Liang Yue dies, this huge wave can be calmed down in an instant.

Qi Delong and Liang Yue looked at each other and said, "Serve the food first, and we'll talk later. I promise not to disappoint Sir Liang."

The dishes in the kitchen had already been prepared, and plates of delicious food were soon placed in front of everyone.

In front of Liang Yue was indeed a plate of burnt yellow and red vinegar fish, the color was eye-catching and the smell was pungent, which was quite obvious.

"What is this?" he suddenly asked, pointing at the dish.

"Qinghe vinegar fish." Qi Delong said with a smile: "It is our specialty. Sir Liang can try it."

"It has a good color, aroma and taste. It must be a delicacy." Liang Yue smiled back. "How come I am the only one with such a delicious dish?"

The person next to him immediately explained: "According to our rules here, vinegar fish is only given to the most distinguished guests."

"That's even worse." Liang Yue waved his hand, "If others knew about this, they would think we couldn't afford it. Tell the kitchen to make a few more vinegar fish, one for each person!"
