Chapter 246 You are slandering me!
Wei Xin paused.
The others seemed to be thinking about something.
This Miss Lin is indeed capable. She found Wei Xin's location right away. Jia Yi was especially touched.
Lin Shiqi continued:
"I also figured out that you have been secretly colluding with Prince Gong for a long time. You have long betrayed the original intention of the old Pavilion Master to establish this organization, and only used it as a tool to climb up. If you become the Pavilion Master, Tianxuan Pavilion will completely become Prince Gong's pawn, and you won't have to think about robbing the rich to help the poor."
Wei Xin's expression changed, and he immediately said:
"You're talking nonsense!"
Lin Shiqi's expression was calm.
"You dare to say that Prince Gong didn't write to you? Do you think my ability to predict the future is fake? Why don't we go to the house where you live and look for it now?"
Wei Xin's face turned pale and red, and he didn't dare to respond for a moment.
The others noticed something was wrong and had different expressions on their faces.
Most people joined Tianxuan Pavilion for the sake of the name of robbing the rich to help the poor. Although they had done things for Prince Gong in the past two years, it did not go against their conscience. They always believed that they were just repaying Prince Gong for his help in the past. Tianxuan Pavilion and Prince Gong were just cooperating.
Even some people who supported Wei Xin frowned. If they lost their reputation of robbing the rich and helping the poor, what difference would they be from the prince's pet dogs?
How can Tianxuan Pavilion survive in the world?
How can we attract people to come here? How can we talk about development and growth?
Wei Xin wanted to deny it, but the woman in front of him was a bit weird. She had figured out such a secret. If he insisted, he would be doomed. So he had to grit his teeth and said:
"Prince Gong did write me a letter, but I did not agree to any of his requests!"
Lin Shiqi didn't want to give him a chance and sneered:
"You didn't agree, but why didn't you confess to the old Pavilion Master and others? And why did you keep this letter? Isn't it for your future success? Also, why didn't Zhou Qinan tie you up with a rope after arresting you? Isn't this obvious? He kept you just to let you control Tianxuan Pavilion, and then let you lead Tianxuan Pavilion and completely surrender to Prince Gong, become his full-time thug, and eliminate dissidents for him!"
Wei Xin's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained,
"I didn't! You, you are slandering me! Who knows who has arrested me? You are deliberately framing me! Don't believe her lies. The three of them are the helpers invited by Jia Yi to help him seize the position of Pavilion Master!"
Jia Yi said in a deep voice:
"You are wrong. I have no intention of competing for the position of Pavilion Master. I am not good at it. I simply feel that you are not suitable to be Pavilion Master. I cannot let you lead these brothers into the fire pit."
Honest words can sometimes be very hurtful.
"You! Don't listen to him, he's lying! They colluded and deliberately framed me!"
Wei Xin was extremely angry. It was all because the old man died early. If he had said in person that he would succeed him, then nothing would have happened.
Lin Shiqi sneered.
"We wanted to frame you, but we came to save you? Are you crazy?"
There was something wrong in everyone's eyes, and even those who originally supported Wei Xin fell silent.
At this moment, the person on guard outside suddenly came to report,
"Oh no! A large army is coming towards us!"
Everyone suddenly became nervous. They were not afraid of small-scale fights, but they were wary of the large army that the people were talking about. There were at least several thousand people, and they could not win by force.
Lin Shiqi asked:
"Whose people are they? Did you see clearly?"
The visitor shook his head. The other party did not raise a flag, so it was impossible to tell for the moment.
Zhou Lang said:
"At this time, probably only Prince Gong's people will come."
Being able to mobilize military horses is not something that ordinary people can do.
In order to prove his innocence, Wei Xin shouted:
"Don't panic, as long as the other side doesn't have too many experts, we will have no problem escaping!"
Jia Yi said:
"If we escape, what will happen to the information in the pavilion? If they steal it or burn it, our loss will be too great."
Tianxuan Pavilion has a strong deterrent effect among the officials of the imperial court, mostly due to their black material. Once these things are lost, Tianxuan Pavilion will not be much different from an ordinary civilian armed organization.
Jia Er hesitated and said:
"Is it possible that they are not coming for us? Or that they don't want to destroy us?"
Lin Shiqi snorted coldly.
"No matter what their purpose is, we cannot put our lives in their hands. I suggest you retreat to Tianxuan Pavilion as soon as possible."
A nodded.
"I agree! Let's retreat first and see what happens next."
Now no one had any objection, so everyone hurriedly lifted the old Pavilion Master's body, left the hall, and ran towards the Tianxuan Pavilion headquarters.
The sound of a large army marching could already be heard outside, but the crowd moved faster and soon entered the pavilion.
While everyone was busy, Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang slipped into a concentric lock space and took out some weapons.
These weapons were prepared long ago.
The two of them were very experienced. They just took the things and came out. The whole process was extremely smooth and did not attract anyone's attention at all.
Jia Yi and his companions also arranged their defenses, and went up to the third floor of the pavilion together.
Seeing that Lin Shiqi and the other two suddenly had some strange things in their hands, everyone else was very surprised. However, now was not the time to be curious, as the war was more important.
Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang were observing the enemy situation, while the little mute girl folded her arms across her chest and leaned against the wall. The little girl was very smart and took on the responsibility of guarding against others without any instructions.
Of course, the main thing is to be wary of Wei Xin and his gang.
The view from the third floor was very wide. Two people, each holding a telescope, saw the group of people passing by the temple and coming straight towards this side. A rough estimate was that there were about two to three thousand people.
They were wearing the same uniform, their weapons were basically the same, and their swords and guns were all standard. They must be the government troops without a doubt.
Leading the group was a man who looked like a general, riding a horse.
Lin Shiqi also saw Zhou Qinan. This guy was also inside, only half a body length behind the general. He was surrounded by some soldiers, looking like a chief officer.
He is worthy of being a reborn person. Although he was repeatedly sabotaged by them, he still managed to cling to the thigh of Prince Gong.
The outskirts of Tianxuan Pavilion were not too spacious. After the arrival of more than 2,000 soldiers, most of them crowded in front of the gate, with swords drawn, guns like a forest, and crowds of people, giving a feeling of an enemy at the gate and murderous aura.
It's clear from this posture that he comes with ill intentions!
Prince Gong finally couldn't bear it anymore. Was he going to openly turn against them?
Everyone in Tianxuan Pavilion looked heavy-hearted. With so many government troops, how should they fight this battle?
Seeing their low morale, Lin Shiqi couldn't help but say:
"You don't have to worry too much. As long as we defeat their leader, the rest of them will be scattered and will naturally not continue to attack us."
Jiayi smiled bitterly and said:
"It's easy to say, but with so many people on high alert, how can we attack the chief officer?"
