Chapter 75: 75. Without any evidence



The two sisters were also very happy, their smooth and delicate faces full of smiles.

~~~~~~~

While they were having fun, large groups of Patrol Bureau officers with serious faces kept rushing to Pang\'s Martial Arts School, and not long after, state soldiers also arrived.

Seeing such a big commotion, there were many discussions among the crowds, and soon some curious onlookers went to check, bringing back earth-shattering news—Pang\'s Martial Arts School had been massacred!

In no time, the entire Yunzhou was in uproar.

"Massacred!? Really? Are you sure you didn\'t see it wrong?"

"Right, with Master Pang being an Organ Refiner and his three sons too, who could have wiped them out?"

"It\'s true, the Patrol Bureau\'s started the postmortem examination!"

Master Pang had been operating in Yunzhou for decades, with countless old acquaintances and a vast influence. His family\'s sudden demise quickly became the hottest topic of the moment.

~~~~~~

At this time, Lu Yao arrived at the eagerly anticipated "Four Seas Tower" with the two beauties.

He had long wanted to try the herbal cuisine here, and now at last, he had the opportunity.

The manager of the restaurant hurried out to greet them, cupping his hands and bowing repeatedly: "The distinguished guests from Liao Family Fist honor us with their presence at Four Seas Tower. I am Jin Wang, please come inside!"

Lu Yao said directly, "I\'ve heard much about the great reputation of Four Seas Tower\'s herbal cuisine, and have come specially to try it. Serve us the best you\'ve got~"

The manager\'s smile grew even wider: "We happen to have White Phoenix Stew and Tiger Elbow, which are perfect for the two lady masters. The dishes will be served immediately!"

The manager escorted them to a private room at the very top of the restaurant, then excitedly went downstairs to make the arrangements.

Before long, a waiter brought up the dishes, announcing them in a song-like manner: "Here they are~~ White Phoenix Stew and Tiger Elbow, simmered on a gentle fire for seven days. Enjoy your meal~"

The White Phoenix referred to a black-boned chicken, and Tiger Elbow was self-explanatory. Both dishes had a fresh taste, the meat perfectly blending with the fragrance of the herbs, tasting neither fishy nor bitter.

The sisters elegantly finished their meal, even grinding the bones to swallow. Their bodies, including the corners of their mouths, remained spotlessly clean, not stained by a single drop of soup, scoring full marks in dining etiquette.

Liao Ya praised, "It lives up to its reputation, the medicinal potency is twice that of ordinary supplements. But the price is really too expensive, one tael of silver for a single dish!"

Liao Qe added, "It is indeed a bit pricey, and the cost-performance ratio is very low. But it tastes very good."

Lu Yao didn\'t mind at all, for the most abundant thing since having double through-doors was money. Seeing the sisters looking like they still wanted more, he called out to the waiter: "Bring two more servings."

The waiter was stunned: "Two... two more servings? Young Master, these ingredients are all rare delicacies from the deep forests, we\'ve run out..."

Lu Yao showed dissatisfaction: "Running a restaurant and you can\'t even let your customers eat their fill?"

Manager Jin hurried over with a quick trot: "We\'ve run out of those two dishes, but we have other choices, the effects are not much different."

Seeing that Lu Yao nodded in agreement, he sighed in relief, encountering for the first time in his decades of service, a situation where herbal dishes were sold out.

This stuff was too expensive. On a normal day, they wouldn\'t sell many servings, slow-cooking them for seven days before they were sold...

Moreover, only martial artists could eat it. For martial artists, it was a major supplement, but for ordinary people, it was deadly poison.

~~~~~~~~

Soon after, a series of herbal dishes were served, very eye-catching, and the customers all gave them an appreciative gaze.

Just then, a squad of Patrol Bureau officers arrived at Four Seas Tower, with two inspectors heading straight for the private room.

The two inspectors came in after knocking, one with a young, square face and bushy brows, and the other was none other than an old acquaintance—Wang Dezhi.

Since this man had previously provided important information on "Dark Energy Heartbreak," Lu Yao didn\'t mind giving him some face, and greeted with a fist salute, "Inspector Wang, what brings you here?"

Wang Dezhi smiled apologetically, "Young Master Lu~ I\'m sorry to disturb you, there\'s been a major incident in the city, and I need a moment of your time."

His demeanor was very humble, not at all like a Patrol Bureau officer on duty, as he carefully said, "The Pang Family has been attacked, and I wanted to ask..."

Lu Yao casually answered, "This matter, well, I\'ve been out shopping with the two senior sisters the whole time, completely unaware of it."

At that moment, the other young square-faced inspector stepped forward as if he wanted to ask something more pressing: "You recently had a quarrel with the Pang Family..."

Lu Yao interrupted, annoyed: "We have not been anywhere near the Pang Family within four li today, you can surely inquire about it in the nearby shops."

His expression stiffened, and his demeanor turned rather unsightly.

Wang Dezhi hurriedly pulled him aside and shot him a meaningful look—this was not some ordinary person they could easily manipulate, but a martial faction with wealth, influence, and martial power; they had to tread carefully.

The square-faced inspector lowered his head and said no more.

At that moment, the medicinal meal on the table was giving off a rich, tantalizing aroma, stirring a hunger that came from deep within the heart.

Only then did the two inspectors notice that all the dishes the three members of the Liao Family were eating were medicinal meals!

This table was worth at least ten taels of silver, more than the total annual salary and perks of the two men combined! The ways of the world were truly unfair!

Lu Yao lifted the teacup in front of him and said, "The Pang Family is even selling opium now, so it\'s not surprising that they would offend someone."

The meaning of "raising the cup to see off the guests" was very clear; Wang Dezhi quickly bowed and said, "Forgive the intrusion, we will take our leave."

~~~~~~~~

After leaving the Four Seas Tower and conducting an investigation, the square-faced inspector hesitated, "They really spent the day enjoying themselves and never came close to the Pang Family\'s residence..."

Wang Dezhi sighed, "Let it be, even if we had evidence, we couldn\'t do anything to the Liao Family, not to mention there are so many witnesses. Just report it, and let those above handle it."

~~~~~~~

Half a day later, the situation had completely fermented.

Everyone in Yunzhou, from high-ranking officials and rich merchants to peddlers and porters, was eagerly discussing the affair.

Everyone immediately thought of the conflict between Master Pang and the Liao Family, but the Liao Family shouldn\'t have the capacity to do such a thing.

Moreover, countless witnesses saw the three Liao family members spending the entire day having fun, never once approaching the vicinity of the Pang Family.

Opinions were varied, and even Governor Wen Renliang was alerted.

The Assistant Prefectural Judge—Fang Xun, personally reported the incident to his superior.

"The Pang Family was massacred!?"

"Yes, Master Pang and his three sons were all killed, along with a Military Preparedness Administrative Commissioner and… a suspected high-ranking member of the Hailong Gang."

Governor Wen spoke in a mild tone, "Any dubious aspects?"

Fang Xun answered, "Reporting to Your Excellency, Master Pang had just antagonized the Liao Family and was then wiped out right after. However, at the time of the crime, the Liao Family was enjoying themselves far away and did not approach. This case has become a mystery." Read latest stories on m_v-l\'e|m,p| y- r

Governor Wen played with his Buddhist prayer beads, speaking indifferently, "I am informed of this matter; Assistant Prefectural Judge Fang, just handle it impartially as you see fit."

Fang Xun bowed deeply, "Your humble official takes his leave."

The meaning of "handle it impartially" was easy to understand—let it go if there is no proof.

Moreover, the Pang Family\'s assets were quite substantial, a juicy piece of meat indeed!

~~~~~~~

While chaos reigned outside, Lu Yao and his company had eaten their fill and were headed home round-bellied.

Throughout the journey, Liao Qe kept gazing at him contentedly, a look that carried on even into the evening\'s rest.

A mix of joy, tenderness, and deep affection was woven together, brimming with love.

Lu Yao asked, "Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

"It\'s nothing, I just feel so good to have you~"

Liao Qe wrapped her fair, beautiful legs around Lu Yao\'s waist, transferring her Inner Breath from the usual spot.

Having transferred Inner Breath many times, she had gained experience.

Instead of flooding in all at once, she did it bit by bit, allowing Lu Yao to absorb it more fully.

A comfortable and exhilarating warmth flowed from the abdomen to the rest of the body, turning the blood hot like water, thoroughly steaming his insides and outs in a sauna-like bliss.

In that instant, Lu Yao entered a mystical state! His body and mind relaxed, free of desire and craving, his thoughts reaching a selfless realm akin to that of sages and saints.

Even though it lasted only a few seconds, he was aware—he had, for the first time without the aid of ambergris, entered the state of \'Sitting in Oblivion\' on his own.

Liao Qe was gently massaging her beloved\'s back and neck to help him settle, but she felt there was something unusual about his state and asked with concern, "What\'s wrong?"
