Chapter 773

The news first reached the East China Sea War Department.

As the old military marquis had a very high prestige in the East China Sea War Department, ordinary soldiers who did not know Ye Xiao were naturally excited.

Countless people came to their respective superiors and asked for the city to be sealed off. They would find Ye Xiao even if they had to dig deep into the ground, and avenge the old military marquis with blood for blood.

Some officers who had seen Ye Xiao could not accept that this was true for a while.

Because just yesterday, Ye Xiao was still showing his power in the assessment field, representing the East China Sea War Department to stop three martial artists with impure intentions, and they admired him. How come Ye Xiao became the murderer of the old military marquis just one day later?

What was the reason?

What was Ye Xiao's motive?

The one who believed this the least was Ji Tianyin. Although she had not had much contact with Ye Xiao, she believed from the bottom of her heart that Ye Xiao was an open-minded martial artist and would never do such a thing.

At this time, she had been standing in Yuan Lushan's office for an hour, just wanting to find out the reason, but was told that Governor Yuan was too sad and didn't want to see anyone.

In the Wuji Club, Qi Tianwu, Zheng Shungong, and Sun Lao and others were discussing in the reception hall of the Wuji Club for two hours. Since Wu Chuan told them the news, everyone knew that this was a huge killing game against Ye Xiao.

While everyone despised Yuan Lushan for doing such a thing worse than pigs and dogs in order to solve the crisis of identity disclosure, they were also worried about Ye Xiao's situation.

Although Ye Xiao's martial arts were very high and ordinary people could not stop him, after Yuan Lushan's hype, the soldiers of the entire East China Sea War Department were incited. Once Ye Xiao's position was exposed, I am afraid that it would be absolutely covered by firepower. Even if Ye Xiao had high martial arts, he would not be able to survive.

However, what made everyone even more uneasy was that half an hour after the incident, the East China Sea War Department sent a thousand-man army to surround the Wuji Society, which prevented many of them who wanted to help Ye Xiao escape from the East China Sea from leaving.

"Everyone, are we just going to watch Yuan Lushan do this? Otherwise, we will also expose Yuan Lushan's true identity." Wu Yunxi said angrily.

At this moment, she blamed herself very much. If she hadn't proposed to find the old military marquis before, Ye Xiao probably wouldn't have fallen into the trap designed by Yuan Lushan.

"Yunxi, this is useless. At this time, no one will believe any remarks you make that are unfavorable to Yuan Lushan. Instead, you will be considered to be defending Ye Xiao again." Qi Tianwu said with a lonely look.

Originally, they should have been able to gain an advantage by holding Yuan Lushan's handle, but they didn't expect that Yuan Lushan would use this trick to strangle them in return.

"Brother, where are the high-ranking officials of the War Department? Ask them to come out and speak for Ye Xiao!" Wu Yunxi looked at Wu Chuannan, she clenched her fists tightly, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Didn't they arrange for Ye Xiao to come to the Magic City to investigate the case? Now that Ye Xiao has become the public enemy of the East China Sea, are they going to turn a deaf ear and dumb?"

After Wu Yunxi finished speaking, all eyes turned to Wu Chuannan. If the high-ranking officials of the War Department were willing to stand up for Ye Xiao, it might be the only way to solve this matter. After all, Yuan Lushan was just a governor of the East China Sea, and naturally he would still be checked and balanced by the high-ranking officials of the War Department.

Wu Chuan sighed, "The top brass of the War Department should also be in a meeting now! I got the news that an hour ago, Sun Junhou came to the East China Sea War Department by car to meet Yuan Lushan, but was stopped by Yuan Lushan's men."

"And now all the bases of the War Department in the East China Sea have strengthened their defenses. Even if the top brass of the War Department has an order, Yuan Lushan may not execute it."

Wu Chuan also felt very depressed at this time. After Yuan Lushan's disturbance, the top brass of the War Department might have to reach some compromise with him in the end to calm the matter down as much as possible.

And this means that all their previous efforts have been in vain. Although they know that Yuan Lushan is the master of the mountain, the War Department will not be able to move Yuan Lushan in a short time.

Now his only hope is that Ye Xiao can survive. As long as he is alive, everything can turn around.

......

In the home of Qin Haifeng, the mayor of the Magic City, the three members of the Qin family were also exhausted by the shocking news that came two hours ago.

Qin Haifeng held a nearly finished cigarette in one hand, sitting on the sofa, frowning for a long time without saying a word.

Yesterday he also received a call from his father-in-law, in which Zhou Dingqian told him the true identity of Yuan Lushan and said that he would go to Yuan's house today.

At that time, Qin Haifeng thought that as long as Ye Xiao and his father-in-law went to Yuan's house, they would definitely get the support of the old military marquis, and the Shan Ye they were fighting against might fall because of this.

But he never thought that YeXiao and his father-in-law went there, and such a big trouble happened.

Ye Xiao became a wanted criminal for assassinating the old military marquis, and his father-in-law was shot dead on the spot as an accomplice.

Now he is also under great pressure from public opinion, and even rumored that he participated in the planning of Ye Xiao and his father-in-law's actions. The opponents in the government took the opportunity to counterattack him, and the people of the East China Sea War Department also sent people to monitor his family.

This caused the advantages that he and his father-in-law had gained in the Magic City government and the Magic City Chamber of Commerce to disappear in an instant.

"Dad, how could Grandpa and Ye Xiao kill the old military marquis? They must have fallen into a conspiracy. You must do justice for them!" Qin Dongsheng said indignantly.

Qin Haifeng sighed, "Dongsheng, this matter is not as simple as you think. The other party dared to kill such a respected figure as the old military marquis. They must be desperate and want to kill Ye Xiao. With my foundation in the Magic City, I can't overturn the case for them."

When saying this, Qin Haifeng looked at his wife with worry. He knew that his wife should be the most sad person in this matter, but his wife didn't say a word at this moment.

In fact, after the news came out, Qin Haifeng also made efforts. He sent the chief of the patrol station to personally lead people to the Yuan family to intervene in this case, but was driven back by Yuan Lushan's men with guns.

Qin Haifeng put out the cigarette butt in his hand heavily in the ashtray, and then came to his wife.

"Zhiyun, you have to believe that there is justice in this world. They can deceive some people all the time, and they can also deceive everyone for a period of time, but they can't deceive everyone all the time."

Zhou Zhiyun closed her eyes in pain and leaned on her husband's arms and shed tears silently.
