Chapter 48:
Xu Yilin endeavored to calm his inner anger, this was not the time to have an attack.
"Elder Kong, I still ask you to make a decision for me, the list provided, I will truthfully follow it, if any other cooperation is needed, my Xu family will certainly comply."
Eyes fell on Elder Kong's face, asking him to make a ruling, he was the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty's husband and the Crown Prince's enlightened teacher, his status was extraordinary, as long as he gave a word, the Xu family would be able to get out of the predicament.
"Xu family master, are you weak-minded, just let your son-in-law come out to confront him, if this matter is not related to him in any way, we'll just leave, what do you mean by covering it up."
Xue Chunyu let out a cold laugh and interrupted Xu Yilin, these words made Bai Qiu and the others nod.
"Master Xu, Squire Xue's words are a bit heavy, but they are not unreasonable, why don't we let your son-in-law come out and make it clear face to face."
The man representing the Imperial Academy stood out, this man's name was Gao Hao, and at this time, he spoke up, asking Xu Yilin to ask Liu Wu Xie to come out and make it clear face to face what he had done and encountered in the Sunset Mountain Range in the eight days' time.
Deacon Chi and the others stood outside the main hall, waiting to be summoned at any time to be interrogated by them, having already thought of a pretext.
A half hour had passed and no one had yet summoned them for questioning, things were a bit unusual.
"Family Master Xu, are you afraid of something, or are you avoiding something."
Xue Chunyu let out a cold laugh, before he came to Canglan City, Xue Yu had approached him, make sure to make the Xu family pay, better make them perish, Xue Yu was his cousin's nephew and the first grandson of the family master, he couldn't refuse.
Xu family perished, once that waste died, Xu Lingxue naturally fell into his hands, this information, only Xue Chunyu one person heart clear.
"My Xu family does things openly and honestly, never afraid of anyone, go and call Wuxi over."
Xu Yilin's eyes revealed a trace of anger, Xue Chunyu intentionally targeted the Xu family, no one present, no one knew, but surprisingly no one stood out, the purpose was obvious, looking for a scapegoat.
Deacon Blue quickly ran out, after a tea, Liu Wu Xie stepped into the hall, on the way, already understand everything about the hall.
"Late generation Liu Wu Xie pays his respects to all seniors!"
Stepping into the great hall, bending down and bowing to salute, a face of indifference, without any emotional fluctuations.
The gazes of Elder Kong and the other five, all gathered on Liu Wu Xie alone.
"You're the Xu family flunky?"
Xue Chunyu asked icily, his tone unkind, letting the Xue Family lose a hundred spirit stones and openly slapping Xue Yu's face had already spread back to the Imperial Capital City.
This matter had a great impact on the Xue Family, and was about to send someone to destroy the Xu Family, when Baili Qing appeared in Canglan City and took away Xu Lingxue, causing the Xue Family to change their mind.
"Precisely!"
Hands clasped as a reply.
"After our investigation, eight days ago you entered the Sunset Mountain Range, is that true?"
Continuing to pursue the question, normal questioning, but could not hear anything.
"Yes!" Liu Wu Xie.
One question after another, from Xue Chunyu's mouth, it was getting trickier and trickier, it was beyond the scope of the investigation.
"Eight days ago, your Xu family's convoy was attacked by a mysterious team, and then the convoy returned safely, where were you at that time?"
The corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth surfaced with a coldness, finally he was going to make a mistake, the various questions he answered just now were enough to prove that Liu Wu Xie had no connection with Shi Brejun's disappearance.
"Does it matter where I am?"
Liu Wu Xie's eyes were cold, raised his head, his gaze pierced straight through Xue Chun Yu, four eyes collided, rushing out countless flames, from within each other's eyes, he saw anger and also killing intent.
"Important, if you can't prove where you were, Shi Baojun's disappearance has something to do with you, unless someone can prove that you were somewhere at that time."
Xue Chunyu wanted Liu Wu Xie to provide evidence that a second person was present, everyone knew that Liu Wu Xie had left the city by himself that day, clearly making things difficult for him.
"Servant Xue, this question has already deviated from the investigation results, right? Shi Brejun is brave and invincible, Wuxie is nothing more than an ordinary person, it's absolutely impossible that Shi Brejun's disappearance had anything to do with him."
Xu Yilin stood out, in asking further, it was more than just an imposition, it was a casket conclusion that this matter was the work of Liu Wu Xie.
"Xu family master, mentioning this matter, I happen to want to ask you, all the reports show that your son-in-law was born unable to cultivate, killing dozens of disciples of the Wan family a few days ago, and breaking through the Spirit of the Innate, what exactly does your Xu family intend to do, deliberately concealing his realm is enough to prove that you're plotting against him, and I suspect that Shi Baojun died in the hands of your Xu family."
A coldness surfaced at the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, every word was heartbreaking, everyone was clear that Liu Wu Xie was a waste.
After the big wedding, his character changed, his cultivation was even better by leaps and bounds, outsiders didn't believe it, thinking that he had been concealing his realm, deliberately confusing the public.
Half a month's time to break through the Spirit of the Innate, no one present believed it, including Xu Yilin, who couldn't explain it clearly either.
"Joke, hiding your realm is plotting against you, dare I ask Lord Xue, the Xue family bides their time and arranges for a large number of disciples to enter the dynasty as officials, could it be that you still want to plot against them."
Liu Wu Xie suddenly asked rhetorically, this question was too sharp, in the recent years, the Xue family had dispatched a large number of disciples into the dynasty, occupying half of the country, and what did they intend to do.
These days, Liu Wu Xie had read a lot of information about the Imperial City, especially the Xue Family, knowing it like the back of his hand.
"How dare you, how dare you contradict the investigation team."
Elder Kong was the Crown Prince's initiation teacher, belonging to the imperial lineage, if this news reached the Crown Prince's ears, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Xue family, Liu Wu Xie's counterattack caused several people in Bai Qiu to give him a meaningful look.
"Don't dare!"
Liu Wu Xie hurriedly bent down and saluted, making a humble appearance, advancing and retreating, and never compromising when it was time to be tough.
The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, the smell of gunpowder thickened, Xu Yilin's fists were tightly clenched, just now some words were said, he froze, the counterattack was just right, unknowingly disintegrated the internal unity of the investigation group.
City Lord's Mansion!
Qi Enshi was reading a book when a knock came from outside.
"Master, someone has sent a letter and a parcel, saying that they want you to open it yourself."
The butler stood outside the door and said softly.
"Who sent it over?" Qi Enshi.
"A child, saying that someone gave him three gold coins to deliver something to the City Lord's Mansion." Butler.
"Bring it in!"
Qi Enshi sat up and stretched, after today, Canglan City would be able to restore peace, his position, from now on, once and for all, was in a good mood.
The butler took a parcel, and a letter, and placed it on the table, bending over to exit.
Picking up the letter, he tore open the fire-painted seal and drew it out to shake it open, with few words on it.
When he saw the first word, Qi Enshi's body shook and almost fell headlong, dizzy and starry eyed.
"How could ...... how could ...... this happen?"
The words were incoherent, a drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead, and without realizing it, his back was soaked with cold sweat, senseless.
Putting down the letter, he quickly opened the package, which contained a long-stored dossier, and turning the first page, a person's name surfaced in front of him.
The scene from twenty-five years ago was vivid in his mind, and the records inside the dossier were very detailed.
"Zhou Hu, you really did keep a hand in this."
Qi Enshi sat powerlessly on the chair, and within his eyes, killing intent was blazing.
"Very well, very well, it's certain that Zhou Hu and the Xu Family must have had contact. Or rather, this letter was precisely sent by the Xu Family, daring to threaten me, Qi Enshi, you are seeking your own death."
Qi Enshi was still not clear about Shi Baojun's total annihilation, and the dossier was exactly what was left back then, recording everything that happened in the town, including his killing and maiming of innocents.
"Come on people, prepare the car!"
Qi Enshi was like a cock that had exploded, shouting, the butler flew out, but in a matter of tea time, the carriage had already been prepared.
"Master, where are we going?"
The butler personally drove and asked in a low voice, his lordship's face looked bad, what happened?
"To the Xu family, be quick!"
The carriage flew away from the City Lord's Mansion, crossed the rope bridge and headed straight to the Xu Family.
In the Xu Family's main hall, after a heated argument, the situation for the Xu Family, was becoming more and more unfavorable.
"After our investigation, your Xu family's transportation team, was attacked three times, the goods were snatched, eight days ago your goods were successfully transported to Canglan City, the black-clothed man who snatched you mysteriously disappeared, what explanation do you give for this matter?"
Bai Qiu asked, picking up the results of the investigation and questioning Xu Yilin.
It was reasonable to say that since he had robbed the Xu family's goods, there was no reason why he would suddenly disappear and would continue to rob them.
"You should ask those robbers about this matter, why are you asking us, the Xu family."
Xu Yilin replied skillfully, Bai Qiu's questioning, perfectly defusing it.
"My lords, the results of the investigation of the Qifeng Gorge have come out, there was indeed a great battle."
At this moment, two people walked in from outside the main hall, the generals accompanying the investigation group had entered the Sunset Mountain Range yesterday to ascertain the truth.
All signs indicated that the mysterious bandits who had robbed the Xu Family's caravan were in all probability Shi Baojun, heading straight to the Qifeng Gorge to investigate and collect evidence.
There were no mountain bandits in the Sunset Mountain Range, the report from the Canglan City mercenary group had already been sent up, and there were three teams that left the city half a month ago, and they were able to provide detailed evidence that they had not encountered Shi Baojun on that day.
Can crisis Xu family transportation team, never generalized generation, ordinary people can not do, the other three big families did not send people out, there is only one possibility, robbing Xu family goods, it is Shi Baojun.
These people present, are old into a fine fox, a little deduction, can launch nine out of ten.
Canglan City was this big, excluding the three great families, only the Xu Family was left with the greatest suspicion.
"Xu family master, what else do you have to say now, just now your son-in-law claimed that he didn't travel to the Qifeng Gorge, much less experienced a great battle, what explanation do you give now, there are traces of fighting in the Qifeng Gorge, what is going on in the end, and why is your Xu family trying to hide the truth."
A cold smile surfaced on Xue Chunyu's face, this evidence was extremely unfavorable to the Xu family.
All traces had been erased that day, ultimately, it could not be done thoroughly, Deacon Chi and the others were just ordinary martial artists, many details things, could not be done perfectly.
For example, the arrow marks from the bow shooting into the stone wall could not be cleaned off, and through these clues, some clues could be found out.
Strangely enough, Liu Wu Xie did not have any tension on his face, instead, the corner of his mouth revealed a mocking smile.
Shi Baojun died without any evidence, even if they checked the sky, they couldn't find any clues, besides, is Liu Wu Xie the kind of person who sits back and waits for death.
