Chapter 48: Rivalry
Xu Yilin tried hard to calm down his anger. This was not the time for an attack.
"Old Kong, please make the decision for me. I will do the list of the list provided by me. If you need other cooperation, my Xu family will definitely follow it."
His eyes fell on Old Kong's face and asked him to snatch him. He was the master of the Great Yan Dynasty and the enlightenment teacher of the Prince. He had an extraordinary status. With just one word from him, the Xu family could get rid of the predicament.
"Master Xu, are you guilty? Just let Ling Xu come out and confront him. If this matter has nothing to do with him, we will leave, what is your intention to hide it?"
Xue Chunyu sneered and interrupted Xu Yilin. This made Baiqiu and others nod.
"The head of the Xu family, Mr. Xue, is a bit harsh, but it's not without reason. It's better to let the son-in-law come out and make it clear in person."
A man on behalf of the Imperial Academy stood up. The man was named Gao Hao. At this time, he said, asking Xu Yilin to invite Liu Wuxie to come out and explain in person what he did in the Sunset Mountains in the eighth day and what he had encountered.
Deacon Qi and others stood outside the hall, waiting for the summons at any time and accepting their interrogation. They had already thought of the excuse.
Half an hour passed and no one had summoned them to ask questions. Things were a bit unusual.
"Master Xu, are you afraid of something or are you avoiding something."
Xue Chunyu sneered. Before coming to Canglan City, Xue Yu had found him and must make the Xu family pay the price. It would be better for them to be destroyed. Xue Yu is his cousin and the head and grandson of the family, so he is hard for him to refuse.
The Xu family died, and the waste was killed, and Xu Lingxue naturally fell into his hands. Only Xue Chunyu knew this information.
"My Xu family is open-minded and never fears anyone, so they call Wuxie over."
A hint of anger appeared in Xu Yilin's eyes. Xue Chunyu deliberately targeted the Xu family. Everyone present knew about it, but surprisingly no one stood up. The purpose was obvious, looking for a scapegoat.
Deacon Lan ran out quickly. After a cup of tea, Liu Wuxie stepped into the hall. When he was on the way, he had already learned everything about the hall.
"My younger generation Liu Wuxie greets you all seniors!"
Stepping into the hall, bent down and bowed, with a calm expression on his face without any emotional fluctuations.
The eyes of the five Kong Lao and the other five were all gathered on Liu Wuxie.
"Are you the son-in-law of the Xu family?"
Xue Chunyu asked coldly, his tone was bad, causing the Xue family to lose a hundred spirit stones, and openly slapped Xue Yu in the face, which had been sent back to the imperial capital.
This incident had a great impact on the Xue family. If he wanted to send someone to destroy the Xu family, Baili Qing appeared in Canglan City and took Xu Lingxue away, causing the Xue family to change their minds.
“That’s right!”
Holding your fists with both hands is considered an answer.
"After our investigation, is it true that you entered the Sunset Mountains eight days ago?"
I continued to ask questions, but I couldn't hear anything when I asked normally.
"Yes!" Liu Wuxie.
One question after another was asked from Xue Chunyu, and it was becoming more and more tricky and exceeded the scope of the investigation.
"Eight days ago, your Xu family's convoy was attacked by a mysterious team, and the convoy returned safely. Where were you at that time?"
A coldness appeared on the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, and she was finally about to attack. The various questions she answered just now were enough to prove that Liu Wuxie and Shi Pojun disappeared and had no connection.
“Is it important where I am?”
Liu Wuxie's eyes turned cold, he raised his head, his eyes pierced Xue Chunyu, and his eyes hit him, and countless fires burst out. From each other's eyes, he saw anger and murderous intent. "Important. If you can't prove where you are, Shi Pojun's disappearance will have something to do with you, unless someone can prove that you were somewhere at that time."
Xue Chunyu wanted Liu Wuxie to provide evidence of the second person present. Everyone knew that Liu Wuxie left the city alone that day, which was clearly making things difficult for him.
"Mr. Xue, this question has deviated from the investigation results. Shi Pojun is invincible and innocent, but he is just an ordinary person. Shi Pojun disappeared and has nothing to do with him. It is impossible."
Xu Yilin stood up and asked, not only the imposed crime, but the final conclusion. This matter was done by Liu Wuxie.
"Master Xu, when it comes to this matter, I just want to ask you. All reports show that the son-in-law is born unable to practice. He killed dozens of disciples of the Wan family a few days ago and broke through the innate spirit. What exactly does your Xu family want to conceal his realm? It is enough to prove that your plot is inappropriate. I suspect that Shi Pojun will die at the hands of your Xu family."
A coldness appeared on the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, and every word was heartbroken. Everyone knew that Liu Wuxie was useless.
After the wedding, his personality changed, and his cultivation level was even more and more. Outsiders did not believe it, thinking that he had been hiding his own realm and deliberately confusing the public.
After breaking through the innate spirit in half a month, no one here believed it, including Xu Yilin, he couldn't explain it clearly.
"A joke, if you hide your realm, you are planning to be ill. I dare to ask Lord Xue, the Xue family keeps a low profile and arranges a large number of disciples to enter the court to serve as officials. Do you still want to rebel?"
Liu Wuxie suddenly asked, "This question is too sharp. In recent years, the Xue family has sent a large number of disciples into the court, occupying half of the country, and what are they trying to do?"
These days, Liu Wuxie has read a lot of information about the imperial capital, especially the Xue family, and is very familiar with it.
"You are so brave, you dare to contradict the investigation team."
Kong Lao was the enlightenment teacher of the prince and belonged to the royal family. If this news reached the prince's ears, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Xue family. Liu Wuxie's counterattack made Bai Qiu and others look at him meaningfully.
"Don't dare!"
Liu Wuxie quickly bent down and saluted, and looked humble, with evidence to advance and retreat, and never compromise when it is time to be tough.
The atmosphere was in a stalemate, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger. Xu Yilin tightly squeezed his fists. After saying something just now, he was stunned. The counterattack was just right, and the internal unity of the investigation team was unknowingly broken down.
City Lord’s Mansion!
Zienshi was reading a book, and a knock on the door came from outside.
"Master, someone sent a letter and a package, saying that you would like to open it in person."
The butler stood outside the door and said softly.
"Who sent it here?" Zienshi.
"A child said that someone gave him three gold coins and sent the things to the city lord's mansion." The butler.
"Take it in!"
Qi Enshi sat up and stretched his body. After today, Canglan City could restore peace. His status will be resolved once and for all, and he will be in a good mood.
The butler held a parcel and a letter on the table and bent over and exited.
Pick up the letter, tear open the seal of the fire paint, pull it out and shake it open, there are not many handwritings on it.
When he saw the first word, Zienshi shook his body and almost fell head-on, dizzy and starry eyes.
"How could it be...how could it be like this..."
Incoherently speaking, cold sweat slid down his forehead. Before he knew it, his back was soaked in cold sweat, without any sense of consciousness.
Put down the letter and quickly open the package. There is a file stored for a long time. When you turn on the first page, a personal name appears in front of him.
A scene from twenty-five years ago is vivid and recorded in the file in detail.
"Zhou Hu, you really have one move."
Zienshi sat weakly on the chair, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Very good, very good, it's certain that Zhou Hu must have had contact with the Xu family. Or, this letter was sent by a messenger from the Xu family. You dare to threaten me, Qi Enshi, you are seeking death."
Qi Enshi still didn't know that Shi Pojun was wiped out. The file was left behind in that year, recording everything that happened in the town, including his murder and murder of innocent people.
"Come here, prepare the car!"
Zinstone was like a rooster with hair blown. She shouted, and the housekeeper ran out quickly, but the carriage was ready at a tea time.
"Master, where are we going?"
The housekeeper drove himself and asked in a low voice. The master's face looked very bad. What happened?
"Go to the Xu family, hurry!"
The carriage quickly left the city lord's mansion, crossed the cable bridge, and headed straight for the Xu family.
After fierce debate, the Xu family's main hall has become increasingly unfavorable to the situation in the Xu family.
"After our investigation, your Xu family transport team was attacked repeatedly and the goods were snatched. Eight days ago, your goods were successfully transported to Canglan City. The man in black who snatched you mysteriously disappeared. What are your explanations for this?"
Bai Qiu asked, picked up the survey results, and asked Xu Yilin.
Logically speaking, since the Xu family's goods are snatched, there is no reason to suddenly disappear, and they will continue to snatch them.
"You should ask the robbers about this, why do you ask our Xu family."
Xu Yilin's answer was clever, and Bai Qiu's question was perfectly resolved.
"Dear sirs, the investigation results of Qifengxia have come out, and there has indeed been a big war."
At this time, two people came into the hall outside. The soldiers accompanying the investigation team had already entered the Sunset Mountains yesterday to find out the truth.
All signs indicate that the mysterious robbers who snatched the Xu family's convoy were probably Shi Pojun, who went straight to Qifeng Gorge to investigate and collect evidence.
There are no bandits in the Sunset Mountains. The report of the Canglan City Employment Group has been sent. There are three teams that left the city half a month ago. They can provide detailed evidence and have not encountered Shi Pojun that day.
It is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to transport the Xu family in crisis, and ordinary people cannot do it. The other three major families did not send people out. There is only one possibility that it is Shi Pojun who snatched the goods of the Xu family.
These people present are all old foxes. With a little inference, they can be out of 10 out of ten.
Canglan City is so big. Eliminated three major families, only the Xu family is the most suspected.
"Master Xu, what else do you have to say now? Ling Xu just said that he had not gone to Qifeng Gorge, nor had he experienced a big battle. What should I explain now? There are traces of fighting in Qifeng Gorge. What is going on? Why does your Xu family hide the facts?"
A sneer appeared on Xue Chunyu's face, and this evidence was extremely unfavorable to the Xu family.
All traces were erased that day, but they could not do it thoroughly. Deacon Qi and the others were just ordinary warriors, with many details that could not be perfect.
For example, the arrow marks shot by the crossbow on the stone wall cannot be cleaned up. Through these clues, some clues can be found.
Strangely, there was no tension on Liu Wuxie's face, but instead a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chapter completed!
