Chapter 025: Evidence of Guilt
Besieged and surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The soldiers under Wang Ergou fell one after another.
Everyone can only fend off each other's attacks back to back.
"Hahaha...... Wang Ergou, Deputy Commander Xu wanted to pull out your thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh at the beginning. Now, you can be regarded as having found an opportunity! I can guarantee that these soldiers under your command will survive!"
Seeing that Wang Ergou was fighting hard, Liu Zhongren laughed wildly.
“......”
Wang Ergou slashed down the two soldiers with a sword: "There are you scum in the Burial Heaven Pass, and sooner or later the Southern Regions will be in a dangerous situation." Since Deputy Commander Xiao is determined to do things for the people of the Southern Regions, even if we fight until the last moment, we will not surrender!"
"Hmph! I don't know what to do, kill me!"
Liu Zhongren snorted coldly.
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the distance: "Stop!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a figure descending from the sky.
It was accompanied by several sharp sword lights.
In an instant, several mountain bandits who were encircling and suppressing Wang Ergou let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.
I saw the figure of Zhantang falling from the sky, holding a long sword, and falling to the ground in a flutter.
"Liu Zhongren, what do you think this is?"
Zhan Tang said, throwing out a round object with his left hand.
The thing fell to the ground and gurgled a few times before it stopped.
"It's ......!"
Liu Zhongren's pupils shrank, and he suddenly showed a look of horror.
I couldn't help but take two steps back.
What is on the ground is nothing else, it is Xu Shaojie's head!
"This can't be, this can't be!!"
Liu Zhongren muttered to himself, looking incredulous.
Indeed, in order to encircle and suppress Xiao Lichuan this time, Xu Shaojie prepared very carefully.
Those who follow Xiao Wangchuan are all cronies around him.
And there are also people from Black Wind Village to cooperate.
In this case, how could Xiao Lichuan kill Xu Shaojie?
Moreover, why did the exhibition hall, which originally had a very vague attitude, suddenly stand on Xiao Wangchuan's side?
Liu Zhongren's heart suddenly rose with anxiety.
Listening to Xu Shaojie, Zhantang is the personal guard of the third princess Xia Jinxuan.
Xia Jinxuan is about to marry the prince of Lingzhou in Beihai, and it is the time when the limelight is blazing.
Offending Zhantang now is tantamount to asking for your own death.
Moreover, they are indeed helping Heifeng Village to persecute their comrades.
This is a capital offense!
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Zhongren's cold sweat kept flowing down.
The other commanders, holding their weapons, began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Xu Shaojie is dead, do you still have to make senseless resistance?"
At this moment, Zhantang slowly spoke.
"Everyone, we have no way out, even if we surrender now, it will be a capital crime! Kill them first, and then let Xu Shangshu find a way to cover up this matter!"
Liu Zhongren's face was full of hideousness, and he raised his hand and shouted.
Xu Ziyi is Xu Shaojie's uncle, knowing that he died in the hands of Xiao Lichuan and Zhantang, he will definitely not sit idly by.
Besides, he didn't scavenge oil and water from the funeral gate, if the matter couldn't be covered up, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat!
first killed Zhantang, Wang Ergou and others to erase the evidence of the crime.
Let Xu Ziyi come forward to solve the matter.
Anyway, it was just a guard who died, and with the emperor's mediocre and incompetent character, I am afraid that it will also turn big things into small things and small things.
As long as Xia Jinxuan can marry into Beihai Lingzhou, everything else doesn't matter!
But at this time, another voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Liu Zhongren! You dare to kill my guards, you are not small!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xia Jinxuan, escorted by another group of soldiers from Wang Ergou, appear not far behind Liu Zhongren.
"You ......"
Liu Zhongren's face was bloodless for a moment, and his heart was full of despair.
"If you have murderous intentions against my guards, are you afraid that you will kill me as well?"
At this moment, Xia Jinxuan suddenly showed her aura as the third princess.
There was a cold look on her face: "Liu Zhongren, you have received the Southern Regions Yulu, but you have eaten inside and out, colluded with the bandits of the Black Wind Village, brutalized the people around you, and even stretched out your hand to your own comrades! You are a great crime!"
Without waiting for Liu Zhongren to speak, Xia Jinxuan continued: "Liu Zhongren is a capital crime, but if the others stop here, I can intercede with my father and punish you lightly!"
Hearing Xia Jinxuan's words, everyone except Liu Zhongren showed a look of struggle on their faces.
Although they are participants, the sin is not much lighter.
But if the death penalty can be avoided, who wants to resist?
At that moment, one of the commanders dropped his weapon and said to Xia Jinxuan: "Third princess! Everything is Xu Shaojie's meaning, and we are just acting on orders! After all, Xu Shangshu is too powerful, and we can't afford to offend!"
Hearing this, Xia Jinxuan's face changed.
subconsciously clenched his pink fist.
I only feel an indescribable anger in my heart, but I can't vent it!
After a while, Xia Jinxuan let out a long breath: "What about the others?"
With one leader, the others dropped their weapons one after another as if they had been hit by the butterfly effect.
Suddenly, except for Liu Zhongren, all the soldiers gave up resistance!
"Hahaha...... I have nothing to say!"
Liu Zhongren's face was full of a bleak smile: "I really didn't expect that you all helped that Xiao family's waste firewood! Do you know that when you kill Xu Shaojie and expose the evidence of the crime of Fu Tianguan, you are destined to oppose Xu Shangshu! How can you, the third princess who is about to get married, and the second prince who was exiled to Tianhua City, compete with the powerful Xu Shangshu?"
"Even if I don't like Xiao Lichuan anymore, at least he dares to break into this Black Wind Village alone, kill Iron Beard, and remove a harm for the Southern Regions. I don't know how many times stronger than you moths who only know how to oppress the people and use all your abilities on your own people. As for Xu Shangshu, even the border soldiers in the Southern Regions have degenerated to such a point, and it is only a matter of time before the country is annexed by other countries!"
Speaking of this, the body of the exhibition hall exuded a strong and overwhelming momentum, and there was a touch of firmness in his eyes: "Therefore, even if it is against Xu Shangshu, I will clean up the scourge for the Southern Regions and correct the atmosphere!"
Hearing this, Xia Jinxuan on the side was stunned at first.
Immediately, a look of relief was revealed.
No matter how degenerate the Southern Regions are, there will eventually be people who are willing to give their hearts and minds to this land where they live!
But Liu Zhongren's face showed a crazy smile: "Hahaha...... It's ridiculous! Even the emperor only knows how to eat, drink, and be merry, so why should we people work for such mediocre people?"
"You're ......!"
Xia Jinxuan's pretty face was blue, but she couldn't say a word.
Indeed, her father has long lost his heart in the midst of the sound of dogs and horses.
All day long, except for the people's fat and blood, greedy for pleasure, there is nothing to do!
"Presumptuous! When death is imminent, you dare to talk nonsense!"
Seeing that Xia Jinxuan's expression became very ugly, Zhantang's face was angry, and he wanted to raise his sword to kill the person in front of him.
But at this moment, Liu Zhongren sneered again and again: "Haha...... In the Southern Regions, there are thousands of people like us. How can a few of you alone turn the tide? In the end, you will find that all your efforts have been in vain! I will wait for you under the Yellow Spring!"
As he spoke, Liu Zhongren raised his right hand violently and slammed it heavily on his head!
Click!
As the Heavenly Spirit Bone shattered, Liu Zhongren's face was suddenly covered with blood.
But he still had a cold smile, staring at Zhantang and Xia Jinxuan, and finally fell down slowly.
Watching Liu Zhongren commit suicide, Zhantang put away his long sword and smiled at Xia Jinxuan: "Third princess, the matter is over. ”
“......”
Xia Jinxuan didn't speak, just looked at Liu Zhongren who fell to the ground in a daze, and her heart was inexplicable.
At this moment, Xiao Lichuan's figure appeared next to Xia Jinxuan and Zhantang, with an excited look on his face: "I have found the stolen goods that Xu Shaojie hid in the Black Wind Village!"
As he spoke, Xiao Wangchuan took out a gold coin and handed it to the exhibition hall.
Zhantang took it and glanced at it: "Yes, it does have the official seal of the Southern Regions Imperial Court on it." It is no wonder that the imperial court allocates military salaries and funds for all kinds of military supplies to the Burial Tianguan every year, but the Burial Tianguan still looks like the people are struggling to make a living! Now, I want to see what Xu Ziyi has to say!"
Xiao Wangchuan nodded: "The matter of Heifeng Village is over, let's leave some people to watch the scene first." Find a way to bring the matter here to the court!"
"Hey, even if you go to the court, I'm afraid that the saint will ...... him."
Zhan Tang said, and couldn't help but glance at Xia Jinxuan.
Xiao Lichuan also fell silent.
Although he knew that Xia Jinxuan's identity was not simple, he didn't expect that she would be the third princess of the Southern Regions!
And the mediocrity and incompetence of the emperor of the Southern Regions is already a well-known thing. Presumably she must be very uncomfortable in her heart......
"Zhantang, I decided to go to Tianhua City to find my second brother. Let him come forward and settle this matter!"
However, Xia Jinxuan was silent for a moment and slowly spoke.
"This ......"
Zhan Tang was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Yes, if we want to calm the internal turmoil in the Southern Regions, the only thing we can rely on at present is the Second Prince!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wangchuan put his right hand on his chin: "You should have heard what Iron Beard said just now?"
"Yes, the doctor ghost ...... Beihai Lingzhou"
Zhan Tang muttered to himself: "He can turn the people of Black Wind Village into the appearance of no human and no ghost, maybe he has already stretched out his hand to the interior of the Southern Regions." This is also a big hidden danger for the Southern Regions!"
Xiao Wangchuan nodded: "It's good that you know! Let's go, go back to the burial Tianguan first!"
Saying that, Xiao Wangchuan explained to Wang Ergou and looked down on this place.
Then he took the others and returned to the funeral gate.
Returning to the funeral gate, Zhantang sent Xia Jinxuan back to the restaurant first.
He knew that Xia Jinxuan at this moment must be quite chaotic in her heart.
She needs to be left alone to calm her emotions.
"Next, it's time to solve the problem between the two of us!"
Walking out of the restaurant, Zhantang said to Xiao Wangchuan: "I am very surprised that you can hide your strength so far. Now, it's time for me to get a glimpse of your true strength!"
