Chapter 161 Sudden Changes

The sudden change made many people change their expressions.

The girls present were so frightened that they screamed and ran around in panic.

Just as the man's sword was about to chop down, Tiechui's sword stabbed towards his heart like lightning.

If this stabs you, you will definitely die.

"Hammer, leave him alive."

Xie Lan spoke hurriedly. Although the long sword in Tiechui's hand temporarily avoided the vital point, he did not retract it. Without even a pause, he stabbed forward quickly.

puff.

The sharp sword pierced through the gray-clothed man's right shoulder. With a muffled groan, blood quickly gushed out of the wound, dripping down.

Tiechui didn't even blink, as she raised her hand and pulled out the long sword, blood gushed out from the man's wound. But she didn't show any sympathy at all, instead she kicked the man away with an expressionless face.

Seeing the man in gray fall heavily to the ground and faint, he turned around and walked back.

Xie Lan glanced at the man in gray and then looked away, just as he was about to ask Master Xiao whether he wanted to interrogate him. However, at this moment, the man in gray who had fainted on the ground suddenly jumped up.

"Be careful." Yang Feng was the first to notice the man's unusual movements. He thought he was going to kill Tiechui, so he quickly warned him. Unexpectedly, although the man's martial arts skills were not high, his Qinggong was extremely fast, and his body shape was very strange.

He was clearly running towards the direction of the hammer, but he suddenly changed his body shape halfway and swung his sword towards Xie Lan.

These successive incidents frightened the old madam, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the prostitutes into panic again.

"Girl, be careful." Tiechui regretted his carelessness and rushed forward without caring about his own safety, wanting to save his girl.

However, someone was quicker than her.

Just as the gray-clothed man's sword was about to chop down, Xiao Jin, who was talking to Xie Lan, quickly grabbed her waist with his left hand, turned around and stepped back, then quickly took out a dagger with his right hand and swung it around.

puff!
There was a flash of cold light, and the dagger hit the chest.

The dagger Xiao Jin used for self-defense could cut through iron like mud, and his mortal body was not immune to it.

The gray-clothed man didn't even have time to scream before he fell heavily to the ground from midair, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

It sounds like a long story, but in fact everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Even though the man in gray was lying motionless on the ground, many people were still in shock.

"Emma, you almost scared me to death. Let's see if he's really dead this time, or he won't jump out and kill me again."

Although his daughter was fine, Tiechui was still annoyed that he had been careless. He walked forward with a stern face, neither checking the man's nose to see if he was breathing nor feeling his pulse, but directly drew his sword and stabbed him in the chest.

Now anyone could see that the man in gray was dead as hell.

After the two incidents, Xiao Jin originally thought that Xie Lan would be somewhat scared, but he did not expect her to be so calm from beginning to end. Glancing at the stack of talismans in her hand, he understood.

It turns out she has a way to protect herself. I underestimated her.

The crisis was resolved, and then someone took a closer look at the man's appearance. After a long while, they looked at the madam suspiciously, "Who is this man? Why does he look like one of the thugs hired by your Wanhua Tower?"

The madam's face looked unhappy. She had recognized that the man in gray was Chen Mu, the thug hired by Wanhua Tower.

Originally, it was thought that the murderer was Zhao Zheng, and even if Chu Yiyi, the courtesan, died, Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion could still compensate Wanhua Tower for its losses. But if it was Chen Mu who killed Chu Yiyi, Wanhua Tower would not only not get any compensation, but would even have to pay a huge price for seriously injuring Zhao Zheng.

Liu Xuxu saw through the madam's thoughts at a glance, and knew what to do in the best interest of herself without even having to think.

"Sir, you are mistaken. Although the man in gray is wearing the same clothes as our Wanhua Tower's thugs, he is not from our Wanhua Tower. We have never seen this person, right, mom?"

The madam hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and was about to follow Liu Xuxu's words and say that she had never seen the man in gray.

Xie Lan had already walked over and sneered at Liu Xuxu, "What? Do you think you can just lie just because the person is dead?"

When Liu Xuxu saw Chen Mu being stabbed, she was really worried that he would be arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of Justice to find out the truth. But now he was killed and there was no evidence. As long as she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, no one would know the truth about Chu Yiyi's death.

Xie Lan knew that she would not admit it easily, so he didn't waste any words and walked forward and swung the whip at the corpse on the ground.

From the assassination to the counterattack, everything happened so fast for Chen Mu. Before he could react to the shock of becoming a dead man, Xie Lan whipped his soul out.

Seeing the ghost suddenly appear, some people shuddered in fear, "Oh my god, yes, yes, there is a ghost."

Although they were obviously very scared, they still couldn't resist their curiosity. Some people even thought it was exciting that they could see ghosts by following Miss Xie.

Xie Lan ignored the ignorant and curious crowd and took out a talisman paper to freeze the ghost of the man in gray, and then pasted a mantra talisman on him.

"What's your name?"

"Chen Mu."

"Chen Mu, how did Chu Yiyi die?"

"I killed him."

"Why did you kill Chu Yiyi?"

Liu Xuxu was frightened when she saw Chen Mu's ghost. But he answered whatever Xie Lan asked, so she didn't care about being afraid and wanted to stop him.

But when Tiechui put the sword on her neck, Liu Xuxu dared not move at all and could only watch Chen Mu call her out.

"Liu Xuxu was angry that Chu Yiyi had snatched the title of the most beautiful woman, and she also hated Yiyi for trying to snatch the prince of Kang from her. So she drugged Yiyi and asked me to rape her and then kill her."

"What benefits did Liu Xuxu promise you?"

"I like Xuxu. She promised me that as long as I kill Yiyi, she will let me sleep with her in the future."

"Why did you kill Zhao Zheng? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"There is no hatred. I killed Zhao Zheng just to pin the blame for Yiyi's death on him."

After hearing the truth, Zhao Zheng was so angry that he wanted to curse. Who has the bad luck to be like him?

Prince Kang also felt that he was very unlucky. He never thought that such a small thing he did would lead to so many troubles. Naturally, he had no good impression of Liu Xuxu.

Liu Xuxu was furious and angry. "This is slander. Chen Mu's words are not credible. He was controlled by Miss Xie, so naturally he could say whatever she wanted. I was wronged, I didn't harm Yiyi."

"I just like to see people like you contradict yourself. You said you didn't harm Chu Yiyi, right? Come, I'll let the two of you confront each other." Xie Lan didn't get angry but laughed, and took out a soul-revealing talisman.

A gust of wind blew, and Chu Yiyi's ghost appeared out of nowhere, grabbing Liu Xuxu's neck and saying, "I treated you like my own sister, but you asked Chen Mu to kill me for a man. How could you be so vicious? Give me back my life!"

Liu Xuxu was terrified, "I was wrong, I was wrong, don't kill me...Mom, mom, save me!"

Yiyi was killed by Chen Mu, and the madam not only failed to get compensation, but also had to endure the revenge of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. The madam wanted to strangle Liu Xuxu to death herself, so how could she save her?

Xie Lan waited until Liu Xuxu was strangled to death before he took Chu Yiyi and Chen Mu in.

"Master Xiao, the case has been solved, give me the money."
