Chapter 57: Questioning (First Update)

Yu Renlong and his wife were chatting at home.

"Master, the City Guard Mansion sent someone to invite you, saying that there is an important matter to discuss, which is related to the iron ore." A servant came to report.

"Oh? Let him in." Yu Renlong said with a little surprise.

Soon, the servant led a city guard to the hall.

"I, Wu Feng, greet Master Yu." The city guard bowed and saluted. Judging from his attire, he was a personal guard of the city guard.

"What are you here for?" Yu Renlong asked calmly.

"Master Li invited Master Yu to the City Guard Mansion to discuss the iron ore. The specific reasons are all in this invitation." Wu Feng said, handing over the invitation with both hands.

Yu Renlong reached out to take the invitation, opened it and saw that it was indeed an invitation from the city guard Li Yuanbiao.

After reading it, Yu Renlong's face changed and he became angry.

"These three families are really shameless and untrustworthy." He cursed.

Zhao Yun hurriedly took the invitation and looked at it, her face changed greatly. It was written on it that the other three families sued the Yu family for fake assassination and framed the three families, and wanted Yu Renlong to explain.

"Have these three families gone crazy? It's really the thief crying catch thief." Zhao Yun was also very angry, and slapped the invitation on the table.

"Humph, these jumping clowns, Madam, don't pay attention to them."

Yu Renlong stretched out his hand and tore the invitation into pieces and threw it on the ground. He looked at the city guards with sweat on their foreheads and said, "Go back and report to Lord Li. This kind of false accusation, my Yu family disdains to pay attention to it."

"Yes!" Wu Feng replied, and hurriedly turned around and fled. The servant also left.

Only Yu Renlong and his wife were left in the hall.

Zhao Yun said with an unpleasant expression: "Brother Long, Li Yuanbiao has always been biased towards those three families. I am afraid that this matter will not be resolved peacefully."

"Madam, don't worry. Since we have informed the head clan, the head clan will take action on this matter. What can these jumping clowns do at that time?" Yu Renlong chuckled and persuaded.

"Having said that, I am still worried that the other party must have a purpose in doing this. We must be prepared." Zhao Yun was still worried.

"Yes, I will tell the people below to be careful of the other party's tricks." Yu Renlong nodded, and then sighed again.

"Alas! Now Qingshi City is in crisis. The Black Lotus Sect is eyeing it covetously outside, and the other three families inside are greedy and provoked repeatedly. It is really a troubled time!"

Soon, the servant came again to report. This time it was Yu Zecheng, the foreign affairs manager.

"Master, the city guard Li Yuanbiao and the heads of the three families of Wang, Cheng and Meng are here to visit. I think they are coming with bad intentions!"

"Hmph! This group of shameless people even came to my door! I want to see what bad intentions they are going to have. Zecheng, send someone to invite the old housekeeper. Madam, let's go out and take a look."

Yu Renlong and his wife came to the gate, only to see the heads of the other three families with their people surrounding the gate, and the city guard Li Yuanbiao stood aside with a worried look on his face.

Seeing the two come out, Cheng Heihu, the head of the Cheng family, was delighted, and then shouted loudly: "Yu Renlong, you slandered our three families for assassinating your son before, hehe, now the truth is revealed!"

Cheng Heihu was in high spirits and very proud. He had suffered a lot from Yu Renlong in the past, and today he was going to vent all his anger.

"Slander? Humph! You know what you did. For the share of iron ore, you didn't hesitate to break the rules and assassinate my son. Now you have the nerve to come to my door and blame me. Cheng Heihu, you are really shameless!" Yu Renlong pointed at Cheng Heihu's nose and cursed.

"Yu Renlong, you dare to say I am shameless? Today I will let everyone know who is shameless. I ask you, you said that your son was assassinated and seriously injured and dying, is that true or not?"

Cheng Heihu's eyes glared at the words and sneered. If he hadn't mastered the exact evidence, he would really be deceived by this guy's hypocritical performance.

Unfortunately, he will reveal Yu Renlong's true face today.

"Yes!" Yu Renlong said.

"What is the cultivation level of the assassin?" Cheng Heihu asked.

"The late stage of the body forging realm is at least above the blood refining level." Yu Renlong didn't understand what he meant and answered. He had mentioned this when he accused before, and he didn't know what tricks Cheng Heihu would play when he asked this now.

"Hahaha! Yu Renlong, Yu Renlong! I always thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning." Cheng Heihu laughed up to the sky.

Soon, he stopped laughing and waved behind him. A man dressed as a servant came over timidly.

"Who is this?"

Yu Renlong looked at this person and frowned slightly. He didn't know this person, and didn't know what Cheng Heihu wanted him to do!

"Tell the head of the Yu family who you are." Cheng Heihu instructed with a playful look on his face.

"My lords, I am Li Zhong, originally a servant of the Yu family." The man knelt down on the ground, clasped his hands and answered with a smile on his face.

"Tell me what you know." Cheng Heihu shouted.

"Yes, I accidentally discovered that my young master is at the peak of the body forging realm." Li Zhong replied.

"Yu Renlong, did you hear that?"

Cheng Heihu looked at Yu Renlong with a smug look on his face and asked, "Your son is at the peak of the Body Refining Realm, how can a mere Blood Refining Realm seriously injure him?"

Hearing this, Yu Renlong finally understood where the problem was.

His son's cultivation was leaked!

However, he didn't even know his son's true cultivation, so how could this servant know?

Thinking of this, he was filled with murderous intent.

The only one who knew his son's true cultivation was the one behind the shadow ghost.

He looked around and realized that some of these people must have had a connection with the assassin. As for Cheng Heihu, he was just a fool, a pawn kicked out by others.

He suppressed all these thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show them on the surface.

He looked at Li Zhong expressionlessly and asked, "You said you are my servant?"

"Yes!"

Li Zhong answered with a smile on his face. There was a kind of pride in that smile that you can't do anything to me!

"Roar~~~~"

A fist blasted out quickly, and the vast blue internal energy formed a huge tiger head, which suddenly slammed into Li Zhong.

Pah~~~

A big pit appeared on the ground, and the bottom of the pit was bloody and fleshy. Li Zhong was like a fly that was slapped to death on the ground, and his body was broken into pieces.

Everyone around was stunned!

Especially Cheng Heihu, staring at the big pit not far in front of him, and then looking at Yu Renlong, swallowing his saliva and being stunned.

"Slave who betrays his master should be sentenced to death!"

Yu Renlong retracted his fist lightly, and said proudly with his hands behind his back.

"You, you," Cheng Heihu finally reacted, pointed at Yu Renlong and was speechless.

"Master Yu, you are destroying the body by doing this, right?" Meng Dewen said with a gloomy face.

"Haha, I am dealing with my own slaves, so it is better for outsiders not to interfere!" Yu Renlong sneered.

He looked around at everyone, his eyes fixed on Li Yuanbiao.

"My son was seriously injured and dying when he was assassinated. It was Li Chengshou who personally checked. If you have any doubts, you can ask the Chengshou. Let's go."

After Yu Renlong finished speaking, he turned and walked into the gate. The Yu family followed closely behind him, and the gate slammed shut. Everyone was left outside.
