Chapter 48

Tie Ma Fei Qiao
Xu Yilin tried his best to calm down the anger in his heart, now is not the time to flare up.
"Mr. Kong, please be the master for me. I will follow the list provided. If other cooperation is needed, my Xu family will definitely follow it."
His eyes fell on Kong Lao's face, and he asked him to judge. He is the master of the Dayan Dynasty and the prince's enlightenment teacher. He has an extraordinary status. As long as he says a word, the Xu family can get out of the predicament.
"Patriarch Xu, are you guilty? Let your son-in-law come out and confront him. If this matter has nothing to do with him, we'll just leave. What do you mean by hiding it?"
Xue Chunyu sneered and interrupted Xu Yilin. Baiqiu and the others nodded at his words.
"Patriarch Xu, Xue Shilang's words are a bit heavy, but they are not unreasonable. Why don't you ask your son-in-law to come out and explain clearly in person."
The man representing the Imperial College stood up, his name was Gao Hao, and he said something at this time, asking Xu Yilin to ask Liu Wuxie to come out and explain clearly to his face what he had done and encountered in the Sunset Mountains during the eight days.
Deacon Qi and the others stood outside the main hall, waiting to be summoned at any time, accepting their cross-examination, and had already thought of excuses.
More than half an hour has passed, but no one has summoned them for questioning, which is a bit unusual.
"Patriarch Xu, are you afraid of something, or are you avoiding something?"
Xue Chunyu sneered. Before coming to Canglan City, Xue Yu approached him, and he must make the Xu family pay the price. It would be best to let them be destroyed. Xue Yu is his nephew and the grandson of the head of the family, so he can't refuse.
When the Xu family was destroyed, Xu Lingxue would naturally fall into his hands as soon as that trash died. Only Xue Chunyu knew this information.
"My Xu family does things openly and aboveboard. I'm never afraid of anyone. Go and call Wuxie over."
There was a hint of anger in Xu Yilin's eyes. Xue Chunyu deliberately targeted the Xu family. Everyone present knew it, but surprisingly no one stood up. The purpose was obvious, to find a scapegoat.
Deacon Lan ran out quickly. After drinking tea, Liu Wuxie stepped into the main hall. On the way, he already knew everything about the main hall.
"Junior Liu Wuxie greets all seniors!"
Stepping into the main hall, bowed and saluted, with a calm expression on his face, without any emotional fluctuations.
Kong Lao and the other five looked at Liu Wuxie alone.
"Are you the Xu family's son-in-law?"
Xue Chunyu asked coldly, with a bad tone, causing the Xue family to lose a hundred spirit stones, blatantly slapping Xue Yu in the face, and the news has already been sent back to the imperial capital.
This matter had a great impact on the Xue family, and they wanted to send someone to destroy the Xu family, but Bai Liqing appeared in Canglan City, took Xu Lingxue away, and changed the Xue family's mind.
"Exactly!"
Clasping his fists together was the answer.
"After our investigation, you entered the Sunset Mountains eight days ago. Is it true?"
Continue to ask, normal questioning, but can't hear anything.
"Yes!" Liu Wuxie said.
Question after question, from Xue Chunyu's mouth, became more and more tricky, beyond the scope of the investigation.
"Eight days ago, your Xu family convoy was attacked by a mysterious team, and the convoy returned safely. Where were you at that time?"
A cold look appeared on the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, and he was finally about to attack. The questions he answered just now were enough to prove that Liu Wuxie had nothing to do with Shi Pojun's disappearance.
"Does it matter where I am?"
Liu Wuxie's eyes turned cold, and she raised her head, her eyes stabbed at Xue Chunyu, her four eyes collided, and countless flames came out of them, and from each other's eyes, they could see anger and killing intent. "Important, if you can't prove where you are, the disappearance of Shi Pojun has nothing 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 presence of the second person. Everyone knew that Liu Wuxie went out of the city by himself that day, clearly making things difficult for him.
"Xue Shilang, this question has already deviated from the investigation results, Shi Pojun is brave and invincible, innocent but ordinary people, Shi Pojun disappears, it has something to do with him, it is absolutely impossible."
Xu Yilin stood up and continued to ask, it was not just an imposed crime, but a final conclusion, this matter was what Liu Wuxie did.
"Patriarch Xu, when I mentioned this matter, I just wanted to ask you. All the reports show that your son-in-law is born unable to cultivate. A few days ago, he killed dozens of disciples from the Wan family and broke through the innate spirit. What is the intention of your Xu family? Why, deliberately concealing his realm is enough to prove that your plot is wrong, and I suspect that Shi Pojun died at the hands of your Xu family."
There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, and every word was heartbreaking. Everyone knew that Liu Wuxie was a waste.
After getting married, his personality changed, and his cultivation level improved rapidly. Outsiders didn't believe him, thinking that he had been concealing his realm and deliberately confusing the public.
It took half a month to break through the innate spirit, and no one at the scene believed it, including Xu Yilin, who couldn't explain it clearly.
"It's a joke, if you hide your realm, you will plot evil. Dare to ask Mr. Xue, the Xue family keeps a low profile and arranges a large number of disciples to enter the court as officials. Do you still want to plot rebellion?"
Liu Wuxie suddenly asked back, this question is too sharp, the Xue family has sent a large number of disciples into the court in recent years, occupying half of the country, what is the intention.
These days, Liu Wuxie has read a lot of information about the imperial capital, especially the Xue family, and he knows it like the back of his hand.
"You are so brave, you dare to contradict the investigation team."
Mr. Kong is the prince's first teacher and belongs to the royal family. If this news reaches the prince's ears, it will be extremely detrimental to the Xue family. Liu Wuxie's counterattack made Baiqiu and the others look at him meaningfully.
"Don't dare!"
Liu Wuxie hurriedly bowed down and saluted, pretending to be humble, advancing and retreating with reason, and never compromised when it was time to be tough.
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger. Xu Yilin clenched his fists tightly. He was stunned when he said what he said just now.
City Lord's Mansion!
Qi Enshi was reading a book when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Master, someone sent a letter and a package for you to open personally."
The butler stood outside the door and said softly.
"Who sent it here?" Qi Enshi asked.
"A child, he said that someone gave him three gold coins and sent things to the City Lord's Mansion." The steward said.
"Bring it in!"
Qi Enshi sat up and stretched his waist. After today, Canglan City will be able to restore calm. His status will be settled once and for all, and he is in a good mood.
The butler took a package and a letter, put them on the table, bent over and exited.
Picking up the letter, tearing off the wax seal, pulling it out and shaking it, there are not many writings on it.
When he saw the first word, Qi Enshi's body swayed and he almost fell headfirst. He was dizzy and stared at him.
"How...how could this be..."
Speechless, drops of cold sweat slipped from his forehead, and before he knew it, his back was soaked in cold sweat, and he was unconscious.
Putting down the letter, he quickly opened the package. Inside was a file that had been stored for a long time. When he opened the first page, a personal name appeared in front of him.
The scene 25 years ago is vividly recorded in the dossier.
"Zhou Hu, you really saved something."
Qi Enshi sat powerlessly on the chair, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Very good, very good. I can be sure that Zhou Hu must have been in contact with the Xu family. Or, this letter was sent by the Xu family. If you dare to threaten me, Qi Enshi, you are looking for your own death."
Qi Enshi still didn't know that Shi Po's army was completely annihilated, and the dossier was left in those years, recording everything that happened in the town, including his killing and killing innocent people.
"Come on, prepare a car!"
Zion Stone looked like a rooster with its feathers fried. He shouted, and the butler ran out quickly, but the carriage was ready by the tea time.
"Master, where are we going?"
The butler drove the car himself, and asked in a low voice, the master's face was very ugly, what happened?
"Go to Xu's house, hurry up!"
The carriage quickly left the City Lord's Mansion, crossed the cable bridge, and headed straight for Xu's house.
After fierce debates in the Xu Family Hall, the situation of the Xu Family became more and more unfavorable.
"After our investigation, your Xu family's transportation team was attacked again and again, and the goods were robbed. Eight days ago, your goods were successfully delivered to Canglan City, and the man in black who robbed you mysteriously disappeared. How do you explain this matter?"
Bai Qiu asked, picked up the investigation results, and asked Xu Yilin.
It stands to reason that since the Xu family's goods were robbed, there was no reason for them to disappear suddenly, and they would continue to rob.
"You should ask those robbers about this matter, why are you asking our Xu family."
Xu Yilin answered very cleverly, and Baiqiu's question was perfectly resolved.
"My lords, the investigation results of Qifeng Gorge have come out, and there was indeed a big war."
At this time, two people walked in from outside the main hall. The soldiers accompanying the investigation team had already entered the Sunset Mountain Range yesterday to find out the truth.
There are various indications that the mysterious robbers who robbed the Xu family's convoy were most likely Shi Pojun, who went straight to Qifeng Gorge to investigate and collect evidence.
There are no bandits in the Sunset Mountains, and the report from the Canglan City Mercenary Group has been sent up. There are three teams that left the city half a month ago. They can provide detailed evidence, and they did not encounter the Shipo Army that day.
It is no ordinary person who can transport the team to the Xu family in a crisis. Ordinary people can't do it. The other three major families have not sent people out. There is only one possibility. It is Shi Pojun who robbed the goods of the Xu family.
These people present are all seasoned foxes, and with a little deduction, they can be deduced nine out of ten.
Canglan City is so big, after excluding the three major families, only the Xu family is the most suspected.
"Patriarch Xu, what else do you have to say now? Your son-in-law said just now that he never went to Qifeng Gorge, let alone experienced a war. How do you explain it now? There are traces of fighting in Qifeng Gorge. What's going on? Why did the Xu family hide the truth?"
A sneer appeared on Xue Chunyu's face, this evidence was extremely unfavorable to the Xu family.
All traces had been erased that day, but they couldn't be done thoroughly after all. Deacon Qi and the others were just ordinary warriors, and many details could not be perfected.
For example, the arrow marks on the stone wall shot by the bow and crossbow cannot be cleaned up. Through these clues, some clues can be found.
The strange thing is that there was no tension on Liu Wuxie's face, but a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There is no proof of Shi Pojun's death, even if they search Potian, they can't find any clues, besides, Liu Wuxie is the kind of person who just sits and waits to die.
"Mr. Kong, please be the master for me. I will follow the list provided. If other cooperation is needed, my Xu family will definitely follow it."
His eyes fell on Kong Lao's face, and he asked him to judge. He is the master of the Dayan Dynasty and the prince's enlightenment teacher. He has an extraordinary status. As long as he says a word, the Xu family can get out of the predicament.
