Chapter 413 Save me, save me, save me!
In addition to Du Lanke and Wang Longqi, other voices were heard in the hall.
"I'm from Yaowang Town too. I'm telling you!"
"I surrender myself. I am also a strong suspect. I hope to be tested. If it is really me who did it, please do not let me go. If it is not me, I hope King Han can let me go."
"It is our duty to revive the legal system of Heluo!"
“…”
For a moment, the crowd in the hall was in an uproar, and there was a wave of voluntarily admitting suspicions, and it seemed that the officials could not stop them.
An official from Jixiang Prefecture was watching the trial and couldn't help but burst into tears. "If the suspects in every case can be as self-conscious as this, then there will be no worries about the construction of the legal system in Heluo!"
After a pause, he continued, "If the common people are like this, how can officials like me fall behind? Let me go first. I have also been to Yaowang Town!"
“…”
Miss Wenxiang felt the fiery gazes and took a few steps back in shock. King Han stood up and shouted, "All of you, step back! How shameless! Do you think my ninth wife's ass is for public use?"
"Your Highness the King of Cold..."
Ling Feng turned around, looked at him and said, "We can now rule out Taoist Xiao Li as a suspect. Madam Nine may have recognized the wrong person in panic. As for who the rapist who flirted with Madam Nine is... Your Highness, do you want to test them one by one?"
King Han gritted his teeth and said, "How do we test this? After testing them one by one, all those who are not are also true. Wenxiang, do you still remember the others?"
Wen Xiang blushed and shook her head repeatedly.
"Then let's just drop this case..." King Han said in a deep voice.
"I don't agree!" someone in the hall shouted.
King Han stared at him and said, "Who the hell are you? I am the plaintiff's family member. If I say forget it, forget it. What qualifications do you have to disagree?"
"I am a suspect!"
Wang Longqi responded with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking very aggressive.
"Hmph..." King Han was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked around, waved his hand angrily, and said, "Go back home!"
Everyone in the hall cried out in regret, regretting that they had missed a chance to prove their innocence.
After everyone left, Li Chu walked up to Master Ling Feng and nodded, "Thank you, senior, for proving my innocence."
"No need to thank me. The clear will be clear and the turbid will be turbid. If this is really done by you, I will definitely not show mercy." Master Ling Feng replied expressionlessly.
She turned back and said, "By the way, please tell your master a message for me."
"Tell him to be careful when he does something bad, don't let me catch him!"
"OK."
Li Chu agreed gently.
This sentence sounded like a threat, but when Li Chu heard it, he felt that Master Ling Feng did not seem to have any ill intentions.
Besides, how could my master do such a bad thing?
What bad intentions could the old Taoist have? Perhaps Ling Feng Zhenren still had some prejudice against his master based on the stereotypes he had when he was young.
But Li Chu knew it very well.
The master's kidneys have long since stopped supporting him from doing anything bad...
"That's good." Wang Longqi walked up happily, "My poison has been cured, and Li Chu's sin has been washed away. We can go back to Hangzhou Prefecture together."
"Going back?" Li Chu frowned, "There are some things I want to ask Master first."
…
Wisps of green smoke rose from an inn and gradually gathered into the shape of an old Taoist priest.
But this time there was one more person offering incense to him.
"Haha, my disciple, you're back. It seems that Ling Feng is still reliable." Yu Qian'an said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"I'm sorry to have caused Master so much worry." Li Chu said, "If it weren't for Master Ling Feng, this matter would have been difficult to resolve."
"What's so difficult about it?" Yu Qian'an said, "The worst that can happen is that you kill the officials and escape from prison, then become a bandit in the mountains. My friends in the martial arts world can just take you in..."
"Don't make the rebellion sound so light." Du Lanke was frightened and quickly stopped the old Taoist from speaking so lightly.
Good man, is there anything big in your eyes?
Then Li Chu responded calmly: "Being wanted is still a bit troublesome after all, and the incense offerings of the Taoist temple will also be affected."
"It's more than just some trouble, Master!" Lao Du was almost scared to tears.
Listening to Li Chu's tone, it seems that being a traitor and having your portrait hung in the most conspicuous places in major cities in Heluo as a reward would only have one disadvantage: affecting your income.
He would be beheaded! What he feared the most was that with Li Chu's cultivation and Yu Qian'an's connections, the two of them would be able to live well no matter where they went.
But Old Du can't do that. He is nearly fifty years old at most, and he is looking for such a master to take care of him in his old age.
If he rebelled, what would he do? This would be a disaster that would affect the whole family.
If Li Chu was offered a reward of 1 million taels, then I should be offered at least 500 taels, right? Then I would be unable to move forward in the future.
Wang Longqi also grinned, "I often get incompatible with you because I am too law-abiding."
"Everything over there has been resolved, so you guys should be back by now, right?" Yu Qian'an asked again, "Why didn't you come back directly? Instead, you offered incense to me. Is there something that delayed you?"
He could guess clearly what Li Chu was thinking.
"Indeed." Li Chu nodded.
"My disciple encountered some things in the north..." As he spoke, Li Chu gave a brief account of the matter concerning the Golden Bodhisattva.
"I always feel that they seem to be brewing some big conspiracy. I talked about this with Liu Fufeng yesterday. He has gone to various sects in the north to gather intelligence. He will come back to inform me in time if there is any news. He is worried that one person is not enough to fight against the偃月教, so he asked me to help him. I don't have a good impression of that golden Bodhisattva either."
"Golden Bodhisattva..."
The old Taoist stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "Among the five Dharma Kings of the Demon Sect, he is indeed the most difficult one to deal with. In a sense, he is even harder to kill than Yu Huasheng. If there is anyone in this world who can kill him, it may really be you."
"Master, do you know anything about him?" Li Chu asked.
"You don't know much. I won't teach you anything until you hear more. In short, when you go out, remember that the world is dangerous and it is better to be careful." The old Taoist priest said again.
"Disciple understands." Li Chu replied.
Then he talked about the emperor summoning him to meet him in Chaoge City.
"That old guy Li Maoqing..." Yu Qian'an said unhappily, "When I left, I knew he was up to no good. He wanted to take you to Chaoge City. But... he just wanted to borrow your power to help the court. As long as he pays enough, I guess you won't mind."
"Serving Heluo is everyone's responsibility." Li Chu said.
"What if the money is not enough?" Wang Longqi asked in a low voice.
Li Chu quickly replied: "See you next time if we are lucky."
"This attitude is right. What's so great about the emperor? The current Emperor Changping of Heluo has a good reputation, but if there is something about him that makes you unhappy, the worst that can happen is that you kill the emperor and then go up the mountain to become a bandit..." Yu Qian'an said the terrible words casually.
“Grandmaster, that’s enough…” Lao Du quickly stopped him.
Good fellow, he now believed that the number one traitor was the friend of the old Taoist priest, who kept talking about rebellion. In fact, maybe Guo Dang was bewitched by the old Taoist priest and became the Guo Longque of today.
A picture had begun to form in his mind.
Many years later, Yu Qian'an sat under the old locust tree in Deyun Temple and told the children with a smile: "The number one traitor Li Chu? He is my apprentice..."
…
As it was getting dark, a figure in a black robe knocked on Li Chu's door.
He opened the door and saw that person taking off his hood, and it turned out to be Miss Wenxiang.
Li Chu subconsciously took a step back, then looked around, guarding against the other party's more serious honey trap this time.
He was already prepared. If Wen Xiang dared to get within three feet of him, he would flash and then imprison her, never giving her any chance to touch him.
But looking at Wen Xiang's expression, she seemed a little depressed and didn't seem like someone who was looking for trouble.
After a pause, she said, "Master Xiao Li, I'm here to apologize to you."
Li Chu let her in, and saw Wen Xiang standing there and said, "Actually, I didn't want to treat you like this, but I listened to the instigation of others and did this. I think... he might find another way to harm you, so I came here to remind you."
"Oh?" Li Chu was puzzled, "Who is it?"
"That person is... the eldest disciple of Yanzhao Sect, Zhen Guanxi." Wen Xiang said, and then added: "I hope you don't tell others that I said this. Don't mention anything else. I'm leaving first."
"Is it him?"
Li Chu suddenly realized that this person did have a grudge against him. But why would the Ninth Lady of the Han Palace be related to the eldest disciple of the Yanzhao Sect? This was also a strange thing.
After hurriedly saying Zhen Guanxi's name, Miss Wenxiang immediately turned and left, obviously not wanting to reveal more, and Li Chu did not ask any further questions.
The reason why she came to inform Li Chu was because Wen Xiang had been feeling guilty after doing this, and was worried that Zhen Guanxi would come up with some tricks to harm Li Chu, so she came to remind him.
She didn't mention a word about her secret identity because she wanted Li Chu to focus the conflict solely on Zhen Guanxi and not involve Duanbei Mountain.
She still held on to that simple idea that everyone in Duanbei Mountain was a good person, and Li Chu was obviously a good person as well.
Then there can only be one bad guy.
Li Chu stood up and closed the door. He met Wang Longqi who was next door and asked him, "Why did Miss Wenxiang come to see you again?"
"Huh?" Li Chu was curious: "She was wearing a black robe and covering her face. How did you know it was her?"
"Hey, that butt, I can recognize it at a glance." Wang Longqi waved his hand.
“…”
Li Chu was silent for a moment, and had to admit that even the most useless person would have some abilities that ordinary people could not match.
"Why did she come to see you again?" Wang Longqi asked, "Is she trying to frame you again?"
"No." Li Chu shook his head and said nothing more.
Because Wen Xiang asked him to keep the secret, not to mention that it was the information she revealed, so he did not mention it to Wang Longqi.
Unexpectedly, Wang Longqi came over and said mysteriously, "I just went to the gathering place of scholars and scholars in Jixiang Mansion. Guess who I saw?"
Li Chu took a moment to realize where he was talking about. It was not surprising, so he asked, "Who?"
"The man you taught a lesson to in Yaowang Town last time!" Wang Longqi said with a smile, "The eldest disciple of Yanzhao Sect, Zhen Guanxi!"
"oh?"
…
"Brother Guanxi~"
The good girl's gentle call brought Guan Xi's thoughts back to reality.
"Are you unhappy today?" asked the nice girl next to him.
"No, I'm very happy." Brother Guanxi said with a grim face.
“…”
He was indeed unhappy, but he couldn't say it. If he was asked why he was unhappy, would he have to admit that his evil plan had failed? Who would be willing to admit that they were a bad person?
Although Li Chu only sentenced him, his career, dignity, health, etc. were damaged because of this sentence. Although some of them were not imposed on him by Li Chu, he still blamed them on the little Taoist priest.
I thought that this method of framing someone was safe and would definitely lead to the social death of the young Taoist priest, and I could officially return to Broken Monument Mountain.
That's why he reserved this celebratory banquet tonight and invited his fellow disciples from Yanzhao Sect to drink and celebrate.
Unexpectedly, a rapist's nemesis suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rescued the little Taoist priest.
So angry.
Looking at the table full of food and wine and the beautiful girls around him, he felt even more aggrieved.
This table is not cheap.
Those fellow disciples were still toasting each other and making obnoxious laughter, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, Guanxi got up and quietly left the table. He came to the backyard of the brothel and then jumped over the wall.
All the credit has been lost. Whoever wants to pay for this celebratory banquet can pay.
Thinking of this, he was about to slip away along the wall of the alley.
Before he took a few steps, a figure wearing a green Taoist robe appeared in front of him.
It was the person he had hated so much just now.
Little Taoist priest! "No way..." Guanxi shook his head and rubbed his eyes, "Am I drunk?"
"No." Li Chu responded, breaking his fantasy.
Oh my god.
He shuddered and felt a cold wind blowing.
"Were you the one who ordered Miss Wenxiang's matter?" Li Chu asked coldly.
In fact, seeing his guilty look, Zhen Guanxi could already explain a lot of things. The reason why he asked this question was just to follow the procedure.
When Wang Longqi told Li Chu that Zhen Guanxi was in the city of Jixiangfu, his tragic end was doomed. Li Chu only needed to use the mind-eye technique to sweep the entire city, and then find that familiar breath, and lock him in an instant.
When Zhen Guanxi heard Li Chu ask this, he knew that the truth was revealed, his legs went weak, and he wanted to kneel down on the spot.
But as the alcohol got to him, he suddenly felt a little resentful.
You bullied me before the people from Broken Monument Mountain came. Now that they are here, you still bully me. Then didn’t the people from Broken Monument Mountain come here in vain?
I am from Broken Monument Mountain, what dare you do to me?
Thinking of this, he suddenly became arrogant, puffed out his chest, looked at others with disdain, and shouted loudly: "Help..."
"Certainly."
When he heard the first word he said was not "no", Li Chu stopped him without hesitation.
This time, I'm going all out.
Although what Guanxi did did not warrant the death penalty, it did cause him some trouble, so Li Chu decided to sentence him to a longer period of time as a punishment.
It makes sense.
After deciding, Li Chu turned around and left without any hesitation.
“…”
Brother Guanxi looked at the little Taoist priest's receding back sadly, with tears in his eyes.
Come again, no...I don't want to eat liquid food anymore...
Just as he was thinking, a dark shadow suddenly fell beside him. Guanxi glanced over and saw that it was He Tu, the leader of Broken Monument Mountain!
He immediately gave her a look for help.
Commander, save me, save me, save me!
He Tu had a sinister smile on his face, as if he understood his distress signal, and whispered: "Don't worry, I came here specially to save you..."
Looking at the commander's gaze, Zhen Guanxi suddenly had a warning in his mind. This grandson... I'm afraid he has bad intentions! Not good!
His gaze turned back to the direction where Li Chu had just left. He suddenly hoped that the little Taoist priest, whom he had been afraid of like a tiger or a wolf, would come back and beat him up again.
Don't walk so fast...
Save me, save me, save me! (End of this chapter)
