Chapter 219 - 219: 216: Trapped in a Conspiracy?_l

“Yang Chen, my friend, there’s no need to be polite. These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are nothing to our City Lord’s Mansion. On the other hand, you are still young and not wealthy. I heard from Jin Cheng and Liancheng that you are an Alchemist, so these Elixir Ingredients are necessary for Alchemy!” Jin Ying kindly said, “You have done so much for our City Lord’s Mansion, you deserve these. If you continue to be polite, I, your uncle, will no longer be polite!”

Yang Chen could tell that Jin Ying and Jin Cheng were both generous people. If he continued to be polite, it would seem hypocritical. He said, “In that case, I will obey respectfully!”

“Yang Chen, you are doing the right thing Since you are staying at my Eldest Brother’s place, how can I, as the Eldest Brother, let you suffer any grievances?” Jin Cheng laughed heartily, showing his unreserved magnanimity.

Yang Chen did not hesitate and opened the Storage Bag handed to him by He Liancheng. He took one look and could not help but take a deep breath. Jin Ying’s handwriting was so generous – these Alchemy Materials were worth a fortune.

Jin Ying said he would give them to Yang Chen, and he did.

Yang Chen was secretly grateful.

To be honest, these Alchemy Materials were quite useful to him. As Jin Ying said, how old was he? There is a limit to how wealthy he could be. Moreover, the treasures he obtained from Monster Beast Mountain had been used up, and the resources of the Horse-thief Gang were untouched, all left for the Yang family.

As a result, although he possessed Alchemy skills, he could not refine any valuable pills.

Jin Cheng’s actions, however, temporarily relieved some of his worries. Yang Chen said, “Thank you, Elder Jin!”

Just as Jin Ying was about to say something, a guard suddenly rushed into the Great Hall. The guard hurried in with an embarrassed look, hesitated on the spot, not knowing what to say.

Jin Ying’s expression darkened – this guard was being so rude, couldn’t he see that he was entertaining an important guest?

Jin Cheng, on the other hand, reacted promptly, “Zhao Guard, what is the matter? You are panicked like this inside the City Lord’s Mansion – what kind of appearance is that!”

Zhao Guard looked serious, glanced at Yang Chen and then whispered softly, “Young Master, something terrible has happened, it’s like this…”

Soon, Zhao Guard explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Yang Chen heard everything clearly, and his expression gradually turned ugly. “That’s the situation. Now the Huang Family is pointing their finger at Young Master Chen, claiming that he did this.” Zhao Guard said bitterly.

“Nonsense, Yang Chen has been staying in my City Lord’s Mansion ever since he returned from the Secret Realm, how could he have killed Liu Taixing?” Jin Cheng was furious. Even with his broad-mindedness, he could not calm down upon hearing this news.

This…

The news brought by the guard was indeed shocking – it was because… Liu Taixing had been killed.

This all happened after the Secret Realm ended. Liu Taixing, displeased with his Junior Sister, returned to the Ming Emperor Sect alone. However, he was assassinated on the way there.

His wounds were clearly caused by a spear.

Death with one spear!

Most importantly, the person responsible seemed to have deliberately tampered with the scene, even changing the True Qi fluctuations in the air to those of the Third Layer of Spirit Martial Realm.

“But the Huang Family doesn’t think so. Now the news that Yang Chen killed a disciple of the Ming Emperor Sect is being spread throughout Liaocheng by the Huang Family.” Zhao Guard clenched his teeth.

“Preposterous, preposterous!” Jin Cheng was completely outraged.

Yang Chen had returned to the City Lord’s Mansion with him and had been there ever since. How could he have had the opportunity to kill Liu Taixing?

Jin Ying leaned back and said, “My son, don’t worry, sort out the ins and outs of the matter first!”

He Liancheng also heard Zhao Guard’s words clearly and his expression darkened, “City Lord, this is obviously someone trying to frame Young Master Chen! Liu Taixing’s death is unfounded, and now the Huang Family is preemptively accusing Yang Chen of the murder and washing their hands of it.”

Yang Chen slowly said, “If Liu Taixing died, I would indeed be the one with the most motive to kill.”

Zhao Guard couldn’t help but say, “That’s exactly what the rumors spread by the Huang Family are saying. They claim that you, Young Master Chen, had a disagreement with Liu Taixing that day, held a grudge, and sought the Damaged Spiritual Tool on his body. That’s why you planned the murder. Now they want to report this to the Ming Emperor Sect and let them handle it.” “What!” Jin Ying was finally startled, “What does the Huang Family want to do!”

It was a different matter if it involved the Ming Emperor Sect.

“The Huang Family is playing with fire!”

He Liancheng hesitated, “City Lord, is it possible that the Huang Family did it themselves and then deliberately framed Young Master Chen?”

“Impossible! Is the death of an Outer Sect disciple a small matter for the Ming Emperor Sect? If he died in a fight, it would be easy to handle. The key is that this involves intentional homicide – it affects the face of Ming Emperor Sect. If he died without any explanation, it would be fine, but now he died near our Liaocheng, wouldn’t the Ming Emperor Sect investigate? ”

“Not only will our City Lord’s Mansion be investigated, but the Huang Family will not be spared from investigation! If they dare to do it, their true colors will be exposed sooner or later!” Jin Ying shouted. “The Huang Family members are not fools, they wouldn’t do that.”

Yang Chen also felt that this matter was very strange.

It wasn’t very likely that it was done by Huang Chiyang and the Huang Family.

Because Huang Chiyang does not have the guts.

The crucial point is that the Huang Family has no reason to do this – the person they invited was Liu Taixing to help them out. If Liu Taixing died, who would be the first to be held responsible by the Ming Emperor Sect? It would still be the Huang Family! Would they look for trouble themselves? But when Yang Chen thought about it, the question arose.

Who is trying to frame me?

He didn’t think the matter was that simple. At this moment, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Although he wanted to kill Liu Taixing, he didn’t want to be framed so easily!

Killing someone and pushing the blame on him, making him take the fall – it wasn’t that simple!

“But the Huang Family’s actions are too suspicious. How dare they go to the Ming Emperor Sect so quickly?” He Liancheng was puzzled, “Aren’t they afraid that the Ming Emperor Sect will blame them?”

“What they are doing now is indeed the best method. If they don’t immediately go to the Ming Emperor Sect, and the Ming Emperor Sect investigates them later, it will be too late!” Jin Ying is very experienced and calmly said, “Now the most important thing is not to investigate who the murderer is. It is difficult to find out the truth about the murderer. The most urgent thing to do now is to quickly help Young Master Chen clear his suspicion!”

Since Jin Ying was Jin Cheng’s father, he would definitely share a similar temperament with Jin Cheng. When faced with trouble, he would not be afraid either.

It was obvious that Yang Chen was being framed and falsely accused..
