Xu Lin threw the three captives directly into the underground secret room and locked them up, but he didn't abuse them much, but let them eat and drink well, and also helped the Red Scale Envoy heal her injuries, so that she would not die of serious injuries.

As for how to deal with these three captives, Xu Lin didn't have a good idea for a while, so he just locked them up first, and then he wanted to kill or chop them or release them, and then slowly pondered.

Early the next morning, he repaired a book and asked someone to send it to Xie Guangxi. It is said that Xie Feiyun was injured in an accident and is now recuperating in the Imperial Sword Gate. Ask this Governor Xie if he will come to pick up the people himself, or let the Edgeworth Gate send them over.

Either way, Xu Lin planned to meet with the governor in person. Many things must be interviewed to confirm their judgment, if Xie Guangxi is really serving the old emperor, then the status of the second prince is likely to be in crisis, don't suddenly take on an illegitimate child to come out and grab the throne, it will be really troublesome.

It's just that Xu Lin's letter has just been written, and before the fire paint is applied, he saw Xue Qingcao running to report in a little panic: "Master, an official is here, waiting outside the door." ”

"Official? What are you here for? ”

"The people from the county government of Kongsang Town said that they had been ordered to investigate the destruction of the Kongsang faction, and even the county commander also came." Xue Qingcao said a little nervously.

The reason for coming to the door is not good when I hear it.

Xu Lin rubbed his hands, turned the letter in his hand into crumbs, and said to Xue Qingcao: "You go and bring Xie Feiyun out of the secret room for me, wait in the back hall first, and I will come to see this county master." ”

Xue Qingcao hurriedly nodded and withdrew, while Xu Lin strode towards the main hall hall, where the Kongsang County Order was waiting.

Seeing Xu Lin appear, the county commander and a kind of official hurriedly stood up, and saluted Xu Lin first: "Meet Kong Sambo." ”

Xu Lin was not polite to these people, and after receiving enough etiquette, he sat on the main seat with a golden sword, and said to the Kongsang County Order: "You come to my Imperial Sword Gate, what is the matter?" ”

There was no politeness, and they didn't even bother to serve tea, and the Kongsang County Commander naturally understood what Xu Lin meant, which was quite unwelcome to them. Originally, the imperial court and the Wulin River did not violate the well water, and the Kongsang County Order did not have any intersection with the Yujian Gate, and even the entire Kongsang Mountain had walked around with the Kongsang faction a few times.

It wasn't until Xu Lin suddenly rose that the situation on Kongsang Mountain changed three times in January, and Xu Lin was even sealed as an earl, and this Kongsang County Commander had only seen him twice. The last time I came, I was to celebrate Xu Lin being made an earl, but this time, I came on the order of the Governor's Mansion to find trouble with the Imperial Sword Gate.

Kongsang County Ling really wanted to cry, he couldn't afford to offend either of them, after weighing it again and again, Xie Guangxi was an important minister of the imperial court and his top boss, and his threat was stronger than Xu Lin, a martial arts person, so he could only come to the door hard.

"Lord Earl, the lower officials are here, in fact, they want to investigate the previous conflict between the Kongsang faction and the Imperial Sword Gate, and some people have reported that the two factions have fought violently and suffered countless casualties. As the so-called human life is at stake, I, as the head of a county, had no choice but to collect evidence and investigate. Come to think of it, this must be groundless, how could the Earl do such a thing.

"Even if there is a big murder case, I think it has nothing to do with the earl, it was done by other outlaws, right?"

When the Kongsang County Commander said this, it sounded like he was just going down the steps for Xu Lin, indicating that he was just here to go through the motions. Let Xu Lin also perfunctory, push a few scapegoats out, and everyone will solve this matter.

It stands to reason that if Xu Lin doesn't want to make trouble, then follow the words of Kongsang County's order, and catch a few remnants of the Kongsang faction and push them out as substitutes for the dead ghosts. But Xu Lin knew very well that this was an order from the Governor's Mansion, and it was Xie Guangxi who wanted to make a move against the Imperial Sword Gate, and it was absolutely impossible to solve it by this means.

This Kongsang County Order does not know what the meaning of this order of the Governor's Mansion is, and it intends to solve it according to the old method of officialdom.

Xu Lin couldn't understand which tendon was wrong for Xie Guangxi, and he wanted to provoke the Imperial Sword Gate, could it be that this was also the old emperor's order? But why? Xu Lin pondered for a while, and the only reason that came up with it was that the old emperor planned to avenge the crown prince.

Since this is the case, Xu Lin does not plan to be polite to Xie Guangxi.

Xu Lin doesn't understand the doorway in the officialdom, but he knows the way in the rivers and lakes very well.

Looking at the Kongsang County Order, who hoped that the big things would be turned into small things, Xu Lin smiled and said, "Yes, the Kongsang Sect has indeed suffered heavy casualties, but this matter has nothing to do with my Imperial Sword Sect." ”

Kongsang County Ling stroked his palms and smiled: "The lower official knows that it has nothing to do with the earl, but the earl can give the lower official any clues, so that the lower official can go back to his life?" ”

Next, it's supposed to be a replacement for the dead ghost, right? That's what the Kongsang County Order thinks.

"Not only clues, but I have already found the murderer of the Empty Sang Sect." Xu Lin replied.

"Really? That's great, don't know who that murderer is? Kongsang County Ling asked happily, this time I don't have to work overtime when I go back.

Xu Lin's lips moved slightly, and the voice was transmitted to Xue Qingcao to escort Xie Feiyun out. The delicate little girl dragged the half-dead tall man in, and the scene was quite funny.

It's just that the atmosphere is a little wrong, so no one dares to laugh.

The Kongsang County Commander looked at Xie Feiyun and felt that this person was a little strange, not like a martial arts person on Kongsang Mountain, so he asked, "Lord Earl, who is this murderer?" ”

He was afraid that Xu Lin had captured a common man to serve as a substitute for the dead ghost, which would be troublesome.

The court turns a deaf ear to the vendetta between the martial arts, and you can kill as much as you like. But if it involves ordinary people, then the court can't sit idly by. Although in most cases, the imperial court "didn't know", if Xu Lin wanted to arrest an ordinary person as a scapegoat, then the Kongsang County Order would rather go back and find a death row prisoner in the prison to replace him, so as to avoid more follow-up trouble.

"This person's identity is also very special, he is a disciple of Baiyun Temple, named Xie Feiyun. It was not only him who slaughtered the Kongsang faction, but also his master Qingsheng Zhenren, a monk who was a monk, but it was a pity that he ran away. Xu Lin said.

As soon as he heard that it was a martial arts person, the Kongsang County Commander was relieved, and scolded Xie Feiyun viciously: "Bold fanatics, if you dare to kill people and oversell goods under Lang Lang, this official will definitely bring you to justice." ”

Xie Feiyun was shocked after hearing this, what does the destruction of this empty Sang Sect have to do with him, he was far away in Baiyun Temple at that time, is it okay to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers?

And you don't even have evidence, just open your mouth and kill people? This is clearly to solve an unjust case.

Xie Feiyun has now lost all his martial arts, and has been abandoned by his master Qingsheng Zhenren, and the only person he can rely on seems to be his father. Therefore, Xie Feiyun said loudly: "I am the son of the governor of Tiannan Province, you dare to wronged me?!" ”

The commander of Kongsang County scolded: "Bold and fanatical, dare to talk nonsense, how can the Governor have you, the son of a murderous man." Come, bring him back, and give him five hundred to taste first. ”

The wolf-like servant rushed over and grabbed Xie Yunfei, no matter how he struggled, it was useless. Seeing that he was about to be gagged with stinky socks, Xu Lincai said to the Kongsang County Order: "He didn't lie, he is indeed the son of Governor Xie Guangxi." ”

When Kongsang County heard the order, he was stunned on the spot, and then he felt chills all over his body, and said to Xu Lin: "Huh?!" Lord Count, this is no joke. ”

"No kidding, Xie Guangxi asked you to investigate the matter of the Kongsang faction, and I told him that the murderer was his son. I want to see if the Governor really wants to make this a hard case. Xu Lin replied categorically.
