"Oh, what an arrogant woman," Luo Sheng said sternly, "Believe it or not, I will make sure you don't get off this ship alive."

"So after all this talk, why do you think we are the murderers?"

Jiang Xue Ning simply ignored him and looked at Shang Xun and asked.

Shang Xun naturally didn't want them to start a massacre on the ship. After all, it seemed that neither side was easy to mess with.

He said, "We found a white wolf hair on Miss Seven's clothes. And this time on the entire ship, you are the only one who brought a white wolf on board."

Bing Tong said coldly, "Tian Lang never attacks people without reason, nor does he steal people's hearts."

She said coldly, "The wounds on the chests of the deceased were not caused by wolf claws, but by a sharp weapon."

Luo Sheng still had no intention of speaking, so Shang Xun had to continue, "Young City Lord means that the wolf hair must have been left behind by the murderer accidentally."

It was a crude but direct way of putting the blame on others. Jiang Xue Ning didn't understand why they were chosen. Did they look the easiest to bully?

She would naturally not admit to a false charge, "Ridiculous, what is our motive for murder?"

"If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting with City Lord Luo and the other families that got into trouble. Before today, we had never had any grudges or disputes."

"So this young master asks who you are?" Luo Sheng said coldly.

Jin Can once again replied fearlessly, "The Luo family has offended too many people, so I ask you to introduce yourself and see if there are any enemies."

Jiang Xue Ning was a little hesitant. She didn't really want to reveal her identity in public.

Luo Sheng pointed at the man dressed as a scholar in the corner, "Xie Yi, aren't you known as the know-it-all in the martial arts world? Then tell me who they are?"

Xie Yi came out fanning himself, and first said to Jiang Xue Ning, "Sorry."

Then he spoke slowly, "Strictly speaking, these people are not from the underworld. But they are too famous, so I do know a little about them."

He looked at Bingtong, "She has white hair and a face like snow, she has a wolf by her side, and she is an expert in illusion. Miss Bingtong, I am honored to meet you."

The eyes of everyone present changed slightly, and the look they gave Jiang Xue Ning became subtle.

Luo Sheng's eyes instantly became sharp, and then he sneered, "So you are the famous King Xiang in the Central Plains, no wonder you are so tough. It's a pity that this is not the Central Plains, but the sea."

What he meant was that the overlord of the East China Sea was his Luo family.

Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "So, Young City Lord, why do you think I should kill Miss Luo Qi?"

"I, Jiang Xue Ning, want to take someone's life. There is no need to be so sneaky and go to so much trouble."

From the perspective of motivation, it is indeed not true. She and their Luo family had no connection before.

"Young Master, I'm afraid someone is deliberately trying to frame someone and divert attention." A strategist in blue clothes advised.

Luo Sheng was not so easy to talk to. He said in a cold voice, "But the only clue points to you. You have to give me an explanation. You said you didn't kill him, so you didn't kill him?"

"So if you say I'll kill you, then I'll kill you?" Jiang Xue Ning retorted without hesitation.

Sparks flew between their eyes, and the blue-robed counselor tried to smooth things over again, "It will take more than ten days for the ship to arrive at the shore. Your Majesty, please cooperate with the investigation. If we still find nothing after reaching the East China Sea, then we will trouble Your Majesty to go with us to the City Lord's Mansion."

This is a threat and also puts pressure on them. This is probably the confidence of the maritime overlord.

They are now on the vast ocean and it is impossible for them to escape. Even if they really arrive in Tianshui City, she doesn't want to become enemies with the Luo family.

After all, her influence is far-reaching in the Central Plains, and she came here to look for someone and didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Can we go?"

Luo Sheng was obviously dissatisfied with her attitude and said coldly, "Since you are the biggest suspects, you should be kept under custody."

She sneered, "I really give you face."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his men. Luo Sheng was about to ask someone to stop him, but was stopped by the blue-clothed strategist. He shut up unwillingly.

The main person left, and the others also dispersed one after another.

Luo Sheng said dissatisfiedly, "Although my father values ​​you, you are really crossing the line, Lu Nanzhou."

Lu Nanzhou advised calmly, "Although the King of Xiang is a woman, she is not someone you can easily mess with. So far, those who have had a grudge against her have all had a bad ending."

"Humph, does my Luo family fear her?"

"Is she afraid of the Luo family? They are the ones who dare to kill the king." Lu Nanzhou said bluntly, "I know that the young master is arrogant, but when you meet her, you really swallow your anger."

"And I don't think she killed him. Her method is too low-level and the flaws are too obvious. If she really wanted to kill, she could do it perfectly."

Luo Sheng was just arrogant, not really stupid. He knew in his heart that what he said was right, so he didn't say anything more.

Jiang Xue Ning returned to the room and fed Tian Lang his favorite dried meat. "Ask the kitchen to serve the food again. We still have to eat."

After a long delay, everyone was hungry. It was not worth going hungry for a guy with eyes on the top of his head.

Wu Jin went there, and soon the kitchen served two tables of food again.

Jing Yu and Jin Can walked in arm in arm, introducing to everyone, "This is the young master of the Jin family, the richest merchant family in the East China Sea."

No wonder it is so golden from beginning to end that it hurts the eyes.

"Have a seat, you're welcome."

As a playboy, Jing Yu was best at quickly building relationships with people and calling them brothers. And this young master Jin also wanted to make friends with them.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became completely lively, and the two seemed like close friends who had met too late.

Jin Can said with a sharp gaze, "It's just bad luck that you were chosen to be blamed."

Jing Yu refilled his glass of wine, "What do you mean?"

He propped up his chin and said drunkenly, "From what I know, the people in the upper class cabin this time don't know each other very well, but they are all well-known faces. You can find out their origins with a little inquiry."

Jiang Xue Ning continued, "We are the only ones who don't know the details, and we are not from nearby, so the murderer chose us to frame him."

"That's about right. Although it seems risky, you should be the best choice for the murderer after thinking twice."

It would be difficult to put the blame on other local bosses or people with connections, so I just chose a stranger.

Jing Yu sneered, "We are really unlucky."

Jin Can's eyes turned slyly, "Hehe, it's their bad luck. They thought they picked a scapegoat who was easy to bully, but they didn't expect to kick against an iron wall. They picked the most powerful one."

Jin Can was a chatterbox, and he was also intentional in revealing things. The meal lasted until midnight, and he basically told them all about the identities and inner relationships of this group of people.

When he left, Jiang Xue Ning raised her glass and said, "Thank you very much."

"Hey, I just like watching you slap him in the face."

Of course, as a businessman, he has always been sharp and was willing to curry favor with the queen who was becoming famous.
