Chu Shaoyun was also surprised. He was often with Yan Ruoli and Ye Weiyun, and had never heard them mention Phantom Shura.

They were not above hiding this from him.

If they had such powerful people protecting them, why would they ask him to hire the killers from the Blood Shadow Sect?

Last time in Fengxi City, he was the one who arranged the spies along the way and provided them with information, giving them the opportunity to set up an ambush in advance and kill the assassins.

During that operation, I didn't hear of the existence of Phantom Shura.

Why did the prince say that they were related to Phantom Shura?

Li Yan said: "I heard that Phantom Shura will kill some officials and wealthy people..."

"He is a villain who kills corrupt officials and oppresses the people. He is not an ordinary wealthy official." Feng Qingchen corrected him.

He, Feng Qingchen, would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He had to make it clear that his reputation could not be ruined.

"Yes," Li Yan quickly agreed, "He indeed only kills corrupt officials and bad guys."

He felt guilty. According to Phantom Shura's murder standards, he seemed to have met the standards.

Fortunately, Phantom Shura is not here, otherwise, he may not be able to save his life today.

Li Yan continued: "I heard that Phantom Shura only kills people and never takes people's property. But that time in Anluzhou, after Phantom Shura killed someone, he actually took away all the property of the rich family."

Feng Qingchen snorted coldly.

Of course he knew about this, which greatly affected his reputation.

He heard many people say that his behavior had changed and that he had become money-loving, even to the point of not sparing the housekeeper's bed.

If he knew who was behind his back, he would never forgive him.

The more Chu Shaoyun listened, the more bizarre and confused he became. He couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with Ye Weiyun and Yan Ruoli?"

Li Yan said: "You don't know this. The same thing happened in the capital."

Chu Shaoyun suddenly realized.

"Are you talking about the theft of the palace's treasury? I heard that it was a punishment from heaven. Not only was the treasury stolen that night, but the Ancestral Temple was also burned down."

Li Yan waved his hand and said: "It's not just this. Everyone originally thought it was a punishment from heaven, and the emperor and the prince also thought so. But later I learned that another thing happened that day."

"What's the matter? Speak up calmly." Feng Qingchen shouted.

Li Yan complained in his heart. What he was about to say had already been said if he hadn't been interrupted.

He is now a bit addicted to gossip and wants to continue chatting, but he doesn't like to be interrupted.

He didn't dare to talk about these things casually in the capital, and it was very uncomfortable to hold them in his heart.

Presumably, the prince's cronies who told him about this felt the same way, so they couldn't help telling him these gossips after getting drunk.

"I heard that the day the Ye family was ransacked was also the day Ye Weiyun and Yan Ruoli got married. A strange thing happened that day. Everything in the Yan Mansion, that is, the Prime Minister's Mansion, disappeared inexplicably, including beds, tables, stools, and pots. There are no bowls or pans left, just like the wealthy family in Anlu Prefecture."

"Is there such a thing?" Chu Shaoyun couldn't believe it. "How can it be possible to move all those things in one day? Besides, there must be movement when moving, right?"

Li Yan said, "Isn't it? That's why it's very strange. The Ye family ransacked the house, and only a few things were found. At that time, everyone thought it was because the Ye family often provided disaster relief, so the family was poor. But thinking about what happened in the Yan family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that it is not that simple."

Chu Shaoyun said: "You mean, the prince thinks that those things have been moved away?"

"That's right." Li Yan gave Chu Shaoyun a thumbs up, "This young master is really smart. His Royal Highness connected several things together and felt that the person protecting Ye Weiyun and Yan Ruoli must be Phantom Shura. .At least it’s him, maybe there are others.”

"Nonsense." Feng Qingchen scolded, "It's simply nonsense. Phantom Shura regards money as dirt and has never been greedy for money. He doesn't have the ability to move other people's things without knowing it."

Li Yan sneered: "What do you know? Do you know Phantom Shura? How do you know he doesn't have that ability? Let me tell you, Phantom Shura is very powerful."

He was now so carried away with his gossip that he temporarily forgot about fear and the tip of the knife pointed at his neck.

Feng Qingchen laughed angrily: "I don't understand? Then you understand?"

"I don't understand either." Li Yan admitted honestly, "But these things put together are too coincidental, and people cannot help but think of these people together."

Feng Qingchen gasped in anger.

Why was he so unlucky that he killed Jia Fu that day and paid the money?

In this case, the disappearance of things from Jia Fu's house has something to do with Ye Yan and the two of them?

Are they that capable of moving so many things in one night?

What's hateful is that they obviously went to Jia Fu's house after him, and they clearly saw the mark he left, so why did they still take away the things, causing him to be misunderstood and his reputation damaged?

"Can't there be two groups of people going to Jia Fu's house that day? Who said only Phantom Shura went there?" Feng Qingchen said angrily.

A strange look appeared on Li Yan's face: "Yes, this is also possible. Why didn't I think of it? It's all because His Highness the Crown Prince was too arbitrary. I was misled by him when I came to this conclusion."

Seeing that Feng Qingchen had almost finished gathering the information, he stabbed Li Yan on the neck with the tip of a knife and said, "Tell me the truth, what corruption and perversion of the law have you done?"

Li Yan saw the change in his tone of voice and the pain in his neck. He suddenly woke up and no longer had any intention of gossiping. His heart was beating with fear.

What happened to you just now?He actually forgot that this person was terrible, and he was basically a Yama.

He actually started gossiping with him?

"I, I didn't, didn't do these things." Li Yan waved his hands to deny.

Feng Qingchen felt angry and tapped Li Yan's acupuncture points again.

This time, he waited until Li Yan hit his head on the ground, causing his head to bleed, and then he unblocked his acupuncture points.

"I said, I said everything, please don't torture me anymore." Li Yan cried, his voice hoarse.

The feeling of having his acupoints tapped was so terrifying that he would rather die than suffer this pain again.

Just now, he really wanted to hit him to death.

Feng Qingchen snorted coldly.

Li Yan did not dare to delay and told him about his corruption and bribery. Of course, he only selected some of them and did not tell them all.

Feng Qingchen didn't care whether he had finished speaking, he just wanted to know whether the person in front of him met the standard of his punishment.

When Li Yan had finished talking, Feng Qingchen asked again: "What about you robbing girls and forcing girls into prostitution? Why didn't you say anything?"

Based on Feng Qingchen's understanding of such officials, most of them behave similarly.

Li Yan immediately denied it: "I have never done such a thing."

He denied it too simply, which surprised Feng Qingchen.

"Do all the wives and concubines in your house follow you voluntarily?"

"I don't have many wives and concubines in my house. In fact, they are all decorations." Li Yan replied with a wry smile, with a strange look on his face.

"Why? You can't do it?" Feng Qingchen and Chu Shaoyun asked in unison.

After asking, the two of them looked at each other in unison, with disgust and unnaturalness in their eyes.
