Chapter 243 Do you still have the nerve to come back?
Tianxuan Pavilion is located in a remote area, behind a temple, with only a secluded path connecting it.
Could it be that the monks were required to remind them at all times not to fall into endless killing?
Lin Shiqi thought to himself.
Then she saw Tianxuan Pavilion.
An inconspicuous three-story civil structure building with no inscriptions on it. The courtyard wall behind it looks very large and should be the place where the members train and carry out activities.
The door was ajar and there was no guard.
As soon as I entered the door, several men surrounded me with a fierce look in their eyes.
The leaders were two older men, one of whom had a big belly and looked fat; the other was thin and seemed to have some problem with his left arm, which hung limply at his side.
"Jia Yi, you killed the Pavilion Master's adopted son, and you still have the nerve to come back?"
As soon as they met, Big Belly said this, which made Lin Shiqi and others frown.
Jia Yi said in a deep voice:
"Jia Er, I didn't kill Wei Xin."
The thin man with the crippled arm said:
"You were acting with him at the time. If it wasn't you who killed him, who else could it be?"
A-1 retorted:
"We were ambushed and everyone retreated separately. How would I know what happened to him? According to the rules, there was nothing unreasonable in what I did."
They were assassins, and if the assassination failed, they would naturally prioritize saving their own identities and lives. As for saving his companions, even if he knew Wei Xin was in danger, he had no obligation to save him according to the rules, not to mention that he was not clear about the situation.
Big Belly Jia Er didn't respond to his words, but glanced at Lin Shiqi and others.
"Why did you bring outsiders back? Do you still remember your identity?"
Lin Shiqi added:
"We are here to help Jia Yi clear his name, so we have to come here. Where is the special envoy sent by Prince Gong? Is he here?"
Canbijia San said coldly:
"Jia Yi, since when has the news about Tian Xuan Pavilion been so easily revealed to outsiders?"
Jiayi also got a little angry.
"I know my limits, I don't need you to teach me!"
After saying that, he ignored these people and went upstairs.
Lin Shiqi and the other two held their heads high and followed.
It has to be said that the prestige of the number one killer is well-deserved. Although the people around him are not very friendly, no one tries to stop him.
A2, A3 and others also followed.
On the top floor, several people met Pavilion Master Wei.
This man was indeed older. Lin Shiqi guessed that he was probably over sixty years old. He had a long beard and looked intimidating without even getting angry.
Jiayi was the first to step forward and greet, and said simply:
"Master, I'm back! Wei Xin's death has nothing to do with me, please let Master see clearly!"
Pavilion Master Wei looked at him with no expression on his face and remained silent for a long while.
A clasped his hands together and did not move.
After a while, Pavilion Master Wei retracted his gaze, but turned to look at Lin Shiqi and the other two, and said:
"Jia Yi, you really have a big idea. You bring all kinds of people in front of me."
This sentence seems harmless, and on the surface it is saying that Jiayi should not bring people here casually, but at this time, there is another deeper meaning, and there is another intention to blame Jiayi. It may be that Jiayi and Wei Xin are competing for the position of Pavilion Master. Otherwise, how can you say you have a big idea? You have grown up! You have your own ideas! Thinking more deeply, are you also sure that it was Jiayi who harmed Wei Xin?
Furthermore, Lin Shiqi saw a familiar style in him, that is, official tone.
Lin Shiqi was disdainful in his heart, and said calmly:
"Master Wei, although Tianxuan Pavilion needs to keep secrets, its purpose is to help the poor. The three of us are willing to do our part for this. We all have the same goal, so why should you worry too much?"
Pavilion Master Wei didn't expect that she would take the initiative to speak up, and was a little unhappy, but he was not a young man, so he naturally would not get angry immediately, but turned his head to Jiayi again.
"Then tell me in detail what happened at that time?"
Lin Shiqi sneered in his heart.
She was right. This old man really had a bad habit!
Not responding to her immediately was a deliberate attempt to suppress her and leave her alone, in order to reduce her anger. Although she was not in the officialdom, she still understood some simple principles.
If you sit on the throne for too long, your original intention will be gone.
If she didn't have other intentions, she would have left long ago.
Jiayi recounted the situation at that time.
It’s actually very simple and can be done in just a few sentences.
Then he said:
"Master, the three of them are capable people, especially Miss Lin, who is very good at fortune-telling and can predict the future. She said she knows the true situation of this matter."
Pavilion Master Wei then looked at Lin Shiqi again.
He didn't really believe in predictions, but he knew Jiayi well. If there was no reason, he wouldn't say that. Since it was about his adopted son, he had to face it.
"I'm sorry for being so rude. I wonder if Miss Lin has any advice for you?"
Lin Shiqi nodded, this is now what it looks like.
"According to my special calculations, your adopted son is not dead, but has been detained by Prince Gong's special envoy, Zhou Qinan."
She said this without blushing or beating her heart, and looked very confident.
In fact, this is also the case in the original book. Zhou Qinan secretly captured Wei Xin, but did not kill him immediately. He just let Jia Yi and Pavilion Master Wei fight each other.
These two people can be regarded as two factions of Tianxuan Pavilion.
Although everyone has the same goal, their concepts are different.
Pavilion Master Wei has some old people supporting him, such as Jia Er and Jia San. This group tends to be conservative and stable. At an old age, it is good enough to live a good life. Fighting and killing are things for young people.
The other faction could be considered a newcomer or a new force. Their slogan of killing the rich and helping the poor was much louder than that of the older generation. This faction was led by Jia Yi, whose prestige was not to be underestimated. He also had many people supporting him, and he himself was quite strong. In the end, he defeated Pavilion Master Wei.
At this time, Zhou Qinan released Wei Xin.
After Wei Xin returned, he naturally started a conflict with Jia Yi. The two sides had a big fight, and in the end Zhou Qinan got the upper hand.
But this time, Lin Shiqi is here, so someone else will have to take advantage of her.
Pavilion Master Wei was surprised and delighted when he heard her words.
"Are you serious? Then where is he now? Can you figure it out?"
His reaction at this moment was somewhat normal.
Lin Shiqi nodded.
"We came here specifically for this matter. As for Wei Xin's people, they should be in the temple ahead now."
As the special envoy of Prince Gong, Zhou Qinan specifically asked for a side hall in the temple as his place of stay.
Pavilion Master Wei stopped making a fuss and saluted:
"Miss Lin is indeed a remarkable person! In this case, please ask Miss Lin and others to take us over to rescue them. Wei will be grateful!"
This old man was indeed a shrewd man, and his attitude changed at any time. Since he was so tactful, Lin Shiqi didn't want to waste time, so everyone went down from the attic and took another group of people with them and rushed to the temple in front.
