Chapter 411 Cause of Death

Situ Fang asked the Lu family cultivator, "What is this mine used for?"

The Lu family cultivator was pale and gritted his teeth.

Situ Fang threatened:

"Someone died here. If you don't tell me, the Daoting Division will investigate to the end. Your Lu family will definitely be involved."

The Lu family cultivator said, "A few mine cultivators, let them die, my Lu family will compensate you with spiritual stones."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have figured it out and had the confidence.

"Yes, that's right! A few mine cultivators, my Lu family will compensate you with spiritual stones..."

He sneered, "This mine is connected in all directions, and it's normal for some abandoned caves."

"These mine cultivators don't know what's good for them. They got in by themselves and were... eaten by monsters. What does it have to do with my Lu family?"

"A few worthless lives, they deserve to die!"

Situ Fang was furious when he heard it, and wanted to beat him up.

Mo Hua hurriedly stopped her, "Sister Situ, it's useless to get angry."

Situ Fang frowned, but still stopped.

Mo Hua turned around and said to the Lu family cultivator:

"Generally, the death of a mining cultivator is an accident, and it is indeed okay to pay some spiritual stones, but this time is different. This time it is murder, which violates the "Dao Law"..."

The Lu family sneered: "Then who killed them?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

The scene was bloody and miserable. It was indeed unknown who killed them, let alone whether it was a human.

The Lu family cultivator smiled and said: "You can't find the murderer, how can you say it is murder? I think it was these mining cultivators who were so bold that they broke into this mine cave and wanted to steal the minerals of my Lu family, but they were trapped and died, and were eaten by monsters..."

The Lu family cultivator became more and more confident as he spoke, and his expression became more and more arrogant.

Mo Hua's eyes turned, and suddenly he smiled brightly, accusing them:

"I understand, it was you who killed these miners for money!"

The Lu family cultivator was stunned, "You little devil, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't know them at all. Besides, these miners are poor. What wealth do they have that is worth me killing them?"

Mo Hua said, "It's easier to do it if you don't know them. Besides, wealth is not exposed. You didn't kill them and searched their storage bags. How do you know that they don't have any wealth?"

The Lu family cultivator was angry, "You are slandering me!"

Nonsense, do you need to say this?

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

Then he said with some regret: "Since you don't confess, I can only take you to the Dao Ting Division, put you in the Dao Prison, and interrogate you severely..."

The Lu family cultivator sneered, "You dare not."

"Why don't you dare?"

"The head of the division and my Lu family..."

He said halfway, his face changed, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, and he understood in his heart.

Since the Lu family is the largest family in Nanyue City and owns the most mines, it must have dealings with the chief.

And it seems that this "deal" is very unusual.

On the surface, Daotingsi and the Lu family each do their own thing.

If something goes wrong, Daotingsi will also investigate and hold the Lu family accountable.

But behind the scenes, it is estimated that there will inevitably be some transactions.

Mo Hua thought for a while, and suddenly sneered:

"Even if the chief has a relationship with the Lu family, it has nothing to do with you..."

"You are just a small cultivator of the Lu family. With the lives of five mine cultivators, do you think the Lu family will protect you, or will the chief come forward to protect you?"

"Do you think you are worthy?"

The Lu family cultivator felt a chill in his heart, and his face was no longer arrogant.

Mo Hua continued:

"We will take you back and put you in the Dao Prison. We will tell the public that you killed five mining cultivators..."

"What do you think the Lu family will do? Will they incur public wrath to protect you, or will they let you take the blame to keep the peace?"

The Lu family cultivator's eyes were shocked.

Mo Hua saw his expression, sighed again, and pretended to be out of the matter and afraid of trouble:

"In fact, we don't want to get involved in this matter..."

"But those mine cultivators always go to Dao Ting Division to make trouble, and Dao Ting Division can't do anything about it."

"The higher-ups need an explanation, and Sister Situ also needs to report."

"It doesn't matter who killed these five mine cultivators."

"No one cares what the facts are."

"What everyone needs is just someone who can take the blame, admit the crime, and calm this matter down..."

Mo Hua patted the Lu family cultivator on the shoulder, "The higher-ups have decided that this person is you..."

The Lu family cultivator shuddered, "You lied to me!"

But his tone was trembling, and he didn't have confidence in his heart.

He didn't know Mo Hua's identity, but he knew Situ Fang's identity.

Situ Fang was indeed the director of Nanyue City Dao Ting Division.

On the surface, she was trying to find out the truth for those mine cultivators.

But the waters of Daotingsi are very muddy, and the people are very shady, saying one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.

He was also unsure which side this Situ Fang was on.

Moreover, with so many disciples in the Lu family, why did they choose him to lead the way?

Mo Hua winked at Situ Fang.

Situ Fang then said with a dark face and a sinister smile:

"Take him back, and give an explanation to the head of the office. The head of the Lu family... I'm sure he won't be reluctant to let go of a mere disciple in the middle stage of Qi training."

Bai Zisheng reached out to grab him.

The Lu family cultivator struggled and shouted angrily: "You can't catch me or convict me without evidence!"

Mo Hua slapped his head, "Oh, right, we need to make some evidence."

After that, Mo Hua took out more than ten spirit stones, crushed them and stuffed them into the hands of the Lu family cultivator.

The Lu family cultivator was stunned, "What are you doing?"

Mo Hua "called a deer a horse" and said: "These spirit stones are the evidence of your robbery and murder!"

The Lu family cultivator found it unbelievable.

This kid, he doesn't even want to pretend?

Is there such a blatant frame-up?

The Lu family cultivator quickly threw all the spirit stones on the ground, "I didn't, it wasn't me..."

Mo Hua sneered, "You don't want to drink a toast?"

The Lu family cultivator said, "What else can you do?"

Mo Hua's eyes moved slightly, a trace of evil appeared on his face, and his voice was low and a little gloomy:

"Lock you in this cave, and then seal it with a formation, let you stay with these five dead miners..."

"In a few days, we will bring people to investigate. When everyone finds out that you were at the crime scene and were with the dead, you will have no way to defend yourself."

The Lu family cultivator said, "I will say... you framed me!"

Mo Hua instantly looked innocent again, "Who would believe it?"

The Lu family cultivator's eyelids twitched wildly.

"Oh, right." Mo Hua remembered again, "You may not live to see that day. There is something in this cave. It can eat mining cultivators, and it may eat you too..."

"It is possible that you will be eaten by it the next day after being locked up..."

"But this is also good. Just say that you committed murder for money, and you both died in the end."

"Anyway, no one else will know what happened here..."

The Lu family cultivator looked at Mo Hua in disbelief.

Who is this kid? Why is he cheating people?

The Lu family cultivator nodded helplessly and said:

"Okay, I promise you."

Before he finished speaking, he took advantage of Mo Hua's carelessness, got up and ran, but before he ran a few steps, he felt his body tightened and was bound by something.

He looked down and found that his body was locked by light blue water-shaped chains.

The Lu family cultivator was shocked.

What kind of magic is this?

Mo Hua sneered.

Bai Zisheng took a big step forward and dragged the Lu family monk back.

Mo Hua pretended to lose patience, winked at Bai Zisheng, and said:

"Seal him in, I will draw the formation."

Situ Fang hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.

Bai Zisheng raised his eyebrows, then pulled the Lu family monk's collar and dragged him to the pit where the miners died tragically and stank.

The Lu family monk was terrified.

Only then did he realize that this kid was serious!

He struggled and begged: "Let me go! Let me go! I will tell you anything!"

Bai Zisheng glanced at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua nodded.

Bai Zisheng dragged the Lu family monk back again and threw him in front of Mo Hua.

Mo Hua looked at him and said, "I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, I'll let you go. If you're hiding something, go and accompany those mine cultivators..."

The Lu family cultivator looked pale and nodded.

"What is this mine used for?"

The Lu family cultivator shook his head.

Mo Hua's eyes turned cold and he wanted to send him in immediately.

The Lu family cultivator hurriedly said, "I, I... I really don't know!"

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then what do you know?"

"I... I only know..."

The Lu family cultivator hesitated and sighed, "I only know that these mines were built by the head of the family, and the formations inside were also drawn by the head of the family himself."

"These mines were sealed after they were built, and no one has ever entered..."

"I don't know what's inside."

"The head of the family has a strict order that no cultivator can know about the mines. No cultivators are allowed to enter..."

The head of the Lu family...

Mo Hua frowned, and then asked:

"How did these mine cultivators die?"

The Lu family cultivator hesitated: "I don't know about this... How do I know that they would sneak into these mines?"

"Didn't you notice?"

"They came in the middle of the night, and it was gloomy here. Who would run into this mine for no reason?"

Mo Hua's eyes condensed, "Gloomy?"

The Lu family cultivator knew that he had said something wrong, so he kept silent.

Mo Hua said: "This cave may be damp, or dark, but it is not gloomy..."

"This..." The Lu family cultivator avoided his eyes.

"Don't you want to say it?"

The Lu family cultivator nodded, and then saw Mo Hua's unfriendly expression, and shook his head again with fear in his heart.

"Tell me, why is it so eerie."

The Lu family cultivator hesitated, swallowed his saliva, and said slowly:

"It is said that there are ghosts in this mine at night..."

Mo Hua was stunned, "Ghost?"

The Lu family cultivator nodded, "Every night, there are waves of yin energy, and there are creaking sounds. The whole mine has a slight tremor, as if someone is chiseling something..."

The Lu family cultivator wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Some people say that the mine cultivators who died in vain in the mine have become ghost cultivators. When the yin energy is heavy at night, they will return to the mine to dig as they did in their lifetime..."

Mo Hua frowned.

It seems that those mine cultivators wanted to steal ore from the mine, but they encountered unknown ghosts in the mine at night, which led to their tragic death.

But it seems that there are still many doubts.

Mo Hua asked again and again.

The Lu family cultivator stuttered, but what he said was more or less the same, and it seemed that he did not lie.

As a Lu family disciple in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he might not know more confidential things.

Mo Hua also asked about some news about the Lu family, and then nodded and said:

"Since you are so obedient, I will not embarrass you."

The Lu family cultivator felt relieved.

Mo Hua asked again in confusion: "If the Lu family knew that you told me all this..."

The Lu family cultivator's heart was blocked again, and he hurriedly said:

"My friend, my master, my little ancestor... please don't tell anyone..."

If he told anyone, the Lu family would not let him go.

Mo Hua reluctantly said: "Okay..."

Then he reminded, "But you have to be obedient, and I will ask you if there is anything in the future..."

"By the way, what is your name?"

The Lu family cultivator wanted to cry but had no tears: "Lu Ming."
