166: I can't explain it clearly.
Half an incense stick's time.
The shadow suddenly leaped into a courtyard.
And disappeared.
Yang Yi stood on the roof of this courtyard.
Looking around.
The person was gone.
Just as he was about to leave,
A woman's scream suddenly came from inside the room.
Yang Yi turned to leave,
But in the end, he still jumped down into the courtyard.
He quickly pushed open the door
And rushed inside.
By the moonlight,
He saw a woman lying by the bed in the room on the east side.
The bed curtains were stained a large patch of red with blood.
Where is the person?
Yang Yi muttered to himself.
The scream had just been uttered,
And the person was gone.
This person's speed was too fast.
Suddenly,
Yang Yi quickly walked out.
He couldn't stay here any longer.
If he were seen,
It would be impossible to explain.
Because there was only a dead person and him in the room.
If others saw it,
They would definitely consider him the murderer.
Although Yang Yi was fast,
He couldn't keep up with the rapid changes.
When he walked out of the house,
The courtyard gate was pushed open.
Several women holding swords and lanterns burst in. Both sides looked at each other.
Immediately,
The girls surrounded Yang Yi.
Each holding a sword,
With the sword tips pointed at various vital parts of Yang Yi's body.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night?" a girl asked cautiously.
Yang Yi's eyes moved slightly.
He opened his mouth but said nothing.
What could he say?
Say that he saw a figure on the roof beam in the middle of the night,
So he followed.
And then the person in the room died.
Who would believe that?
Seeing Yang Yi hesitate to speak,
One of the girls put away her sword
And walked into the house.
Then she screamed.
"Ah, Jin Chanyue is dead.
Upon hearing that Jin Chanyue was dead,
Yang Yi frowned.
He secretly thought, 'This is not good.'
It seemed he had fallen into someone else's trap.
He already had a conflict with the other party.
Her husband had been killed by him before.
Now that he had killed her,
It seemed very reasonable.
This time, it would be impossible to explain.
He hoped there were smart people within the Jinling Family
Who could see that all of this was a conspiracy.
Without a word,
The girls took out ropes and tied Yang Yi up.
They took him to see the Elders and Clan Chief of the Family.
Yang Yi did not resist.
He obediently put his hands behind his back
And let them tie him up.
While tying him, the girls were still polite to Yang Yi.
But after he was tied, they were no longer polite.
They kicked and pushed him,
And cursed at him.
"You truly are a cold-blooded demon!"
"How dare you commit murder in our Jinling Family!"
"Fortunately, we discovered you."
"Otherwise, you would have escaped again."
In the brightly lit main hall,
Jin Qiuyan, Jin Mu, Jin Fengxian, Jin Yanxi, Jin Xiaodie, and others were all present.
Some people still didn't know what had happened.
Jin Qiuyan had already found out.
Her face was terribly grim.
Her eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
The girls brought Yang Yi to the deliberation hall.
One of the girls pushed Yang Yi's shoulder.
"Kneel."
Yang Yi stood still.
He sighed helplessly.
And looked at the Elders and Clan Chief present.
"I don't know what's going on either."
"Anyway, it's impossible to explain now."
"What exactly happened?" Jin Qiuyan asked.
A girl behind Yang Yi recounted what she had witnessed.
The meaning was very simple.
They heard movement in the courtyard,
So they burst in.
And then they found Yang Yi.
And found Jin Chanyue tragically dead in the room.
After narrating the process,
The girl pointed the finger at Yang Yi.
"It's obvious."
"The killer is Yang Yi."
Jin Qiuyan gave Yang Yi a cold glance.
She hesitated to speak.
He knew that this matter was definitely not done by Yang Yi.
But the eyewitness was right in front of him.
Even though he knew it wasn't him,
He couldn't just release him.
"What do you have to say?" he asked Yang Yi.
Yang Yi took a few steps forward
And began to recount what he had encountered.
After he finished speaking,
The scene was silent.
Eighty percent of the people believed Yang Yi.
Because Yang Yi would never do such a thing.
Firstly: Yang Yi's relationship with the Jinling Family was in an ascending period.
And he was about to marry a girl from the Jinling Family.
It could be said that he had already become a member of the Jinling Family.
How could he possibly kill Jin Chanyue?
Secondly: With Yang Yi's strength,
It was highly unlikely he would be caught if he killed Jin Chanyue.
Thirdly: Yang Yi was, after all, the Yang Family Head.
If he wanted to kill someone,
Sometimes he didn't need to do it himself.
Jin Fengxian, who had always been at odds with Yang Yi,
Suddenly extended her fair, tender arm
And gently waved it a few times in front of her face,
As if shooing away mosquitoes.
"I'm so sleepy."
"I think this matter is quite simple."
"Someone must be deliberately trying to frame Yang Yi."
As soon as this was said,
A girl behind Yang Yi became displeased.
This girl was the one who tied Yang Yi up.
She was an inconspicuous girl in the Jinling Family.
Her name was Jin Xiaoyun.
Jin Xiaoyun took a step forward,
Head held high, chest out.
"What do you mean by that?"
"We saw with our own eyes Yang Yi kill the person."
"How can you say someone else framed him?"
"Are you implying that we are framing him?"
"We have no grudges against Yang Yi."
"Why would we frame him?"
Jin Fengxian sneered.
She closed her eyes
And said lazily:
"Whether it's a frame-up or not,
"You yourselves know."
"I think it's better to bring Jin Chanyue's body here."
"See how she died."
"Then you'll naturally know whether it was Yang Yi or not."
Jin Qiuyan ordered someone to bring Jin Chanyue's body.
Several Elders gathered around the body
And carefully examined the wound.
There was only one wound.
She was killed by a single sword strike to the throat.
The Elders shook their heads.
Expressing their opinions, all Elders unanimously concluded
That Yang Yi did not kill Jin Chanyue.
Although Yang Yi had the strength to kill with a single sword strike to the throat,
Jin Chanyue still had the power to resist when she was struck.
This meant that the person who killed Jin Chanyue did not have a significant difference in strength from Jin Chanyue.
However, the difference between Yang Yi and Jin Chanyue was vast.
With Yang Yi's ability,
A single sword strike
Would absolutely not give Jin Chanyue a chance to resist.
Therefore,
This sword strike was definitely not delivered by Yang Yi.
Jin Xiaoyun frowned and said:
"We saw with our own eyes Yang Yi walk out of the room."
"There was no one else in the room."
"How could it not be him who killed her?"
"Perhaps he deliberately weakened his attack power
"To create this illusion."
Jin Fengxian rubbed her face
And said impatiently:
"Your name is Jin Xiaoyun, right?"
"I heard you seem to have something going on with Zhang Familys Young Master."
"I wonder if it's true."
At these words,
Everyone's gaze fell on Jin Xiaoyun.
If what Jin Fengxian said was true,
Then this matter was very likely a trap set by Zhang Familys Young Master and Jin Xiaoyun for Yang Yi.
