Chapter 35

A few days later.

A look of worry appeared on Yaoyue's face once again.

"Now that all three wives in the manor are pregnant, they cannot serve Husband.

It seems the matter of taking concubines for Husband cannot stop!"

When Xiao Ru heard these words.

She covered her face in depression.

However, Zhu Yuyan and Zhou Zhiruo were very much in favor of this.

Men, after all, should have three wives and four concubines.

They also didn't want to see Ye Yu alone so often.

Thus, the three of them began searching for suitable candidates in the city.

However, the beauty of Yaoyue, Zhu Yuyan, and Zhou Zhiruo was set there.

Ordinary looks.

They simply couldn't look upon them with favor.

So after searching for a long time, they hadn't found a suitable candidate.

But Ye Yu felt that it was time to go out on a long journey.

He now possessed martial arts.

He should naturally temper himself more.

Combat experience is sometimes more important than one's cultivation base.

Moreover, the world is vast; staying cooped up at home every day is not the way to go.

Thus.

Ye Yu claimed he was going to travel the mountains and rivers to find inspiration for his writing.

He bid farewell to his wives at home and set out alone on horseback.

Yaoyue and the others wanted to follow.

But Ye Yu stopped them, citing that all three of them were pregnant.

Yaoyue, Zhu Yuyan, and Zhou Zhiruo could only agree.

After Ye Yu left.

Wujing and Tieshou, two of the Four Great Constables, arrived in Xiangyang City.

Accompanying them was Ji Yaohua.

They had come specifically to investigate the deaths of Commandant Yang and the Shendao Sect.

The three first visited all the locations where the deaths occurred in Xiangyang City.

And interviewed the local commoners.

Only then did they come to the Xiangyang City government office.

The newly appointed Commandant Wang hurriedly provided all the clues regarding Commandant Yang and the Shendao Sect.

Wujing finished reviewing all the events.

After a moment of silence.

She suddenly said: "Ye Yu is suspicious!"

The person responsible for recounting the events was Zhao Hu.

Upon hearing this statement from Wujing.

He immediately frowned.

"Replying to the Great Constable.

Ye Yu is a famous merchant in Xiangyang City.

He is kind and charitable, and never fights with others.

Furthermore, he has no martial arts cultivation.

How could he be suspicious?"

Wujing glanced at Zhao Hu.

She said coldly: "When looking at a person, one cannot just look at the surface.

Not to mention the death of Commandant Yang.

Just looking at the destruction of the Shendao Sect, even if Ye Yu didn't do it himself, it has something to do with him.

There is something you might not know.

Chu Kuang is the nephew of Chu Yidao.

Chu Kuang wanted to buy Ye Yu's bookhouse.

Ye Yu refused.

A few days later, two members of the Shendao Sect died on the street.

Then, the very next day, Chu Kuang and everyone in the Shendao Sect died.

Do you still dare to say these things are not connected?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu was extremely shocked.

At that time, the matter of the entire Shendao Sect being wiped out was too big.

By comparison, the death of Chu Kuang seemed small.

As a major sect in Xiangyang City.

Whoever could slaughter them all in one night must be a top-tier expert in the Jianghu.

And Ye Yu, who had no martial arts cultivation, was naturally not within their consideration.

So, the constables in Xiangyang City had overlooked Ye Yu.

Now, hearing Wujing explain it this way.

Ye Yu might really be a suspect.

But Zhao Hu still didn't believe it.

What kind of bad intentions could a writer have?

Tieshou said in a muffled voice: "Then should I go and arrest that Ye Yu now?"

Ji Yaohua waved her hand: "Don't waste your effort.

Ye Yu just left the city to travel.

He shouldn't know of our arrival.

To avoid alerting the enemy, let's stay in Xiangyang City for a while and wait for him to return!"

Wujing turned her head curiously.

"How do you know he left the city?"

With that one sentence, everyone turned their gaze toward Ji Yaohua.

That's right, you are a constable who just arrived from out of town, how could you know so clearly?

Could it be that there is some connection between you two?

Ji Yaohua blinked her beautiful eyes.

She pointed to the portrait of Ye Yu on the table and said: "When we entered the city, I saw him leave on horseback with a backpack, unhurriedly.

Speaking of which, Wujing, you sit in a wheelchair, do you not look at handsome men?

Well, actually, I don't look much either.

The point is, he was too handsome; I really couldn't help but notice him!"
