Mountains and rivers Chapter 38 Trial of Lin Xiang

In the early morning, the sky is slightly bright.

Yang Tingfeng was already standing in the small courtyard, as if waiting for something. He had already informed Chen Hao with the jade slip, and it was estimated that Chen Hao would arrive in a while.

After a while, there was a sound of the door opening in the courtyard, but it was not Chen Hao who came, but Shen Tianjiang and the two of them just got up and walked out of the courtyard.

After greeting each other and washing up, the three of them gathered in the pavilion and ate the breakfast they had just delivered.

"Xiaoyou got up so early but was waiting for someone?" asked Hao Qing, who was holding a pastry and chewing slowly, at the stone table.

Yang Tingfeng nodded: "I'm waiting for Master Chen, I have already sent him a message and asked him to come over to see him." As soon as the words fell, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Chen Hao, who had a hint of a smile, walked in.

"Can Sect Master Chen have breakfast?sit down and eat some?" Yang Tingfeng and the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted.

A smile hung on the corner of Chen Hao's mouth and said, "I have already eaten on the way when I came, don't worry about me." He waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

walked to the pavilion and continued: "Senior Brother Hao is also here, I plan to come to you and bring you good news." ”

Hao Qing's eyes flashed with excitement, "Yang Xiaoyou's kindness is difficult, but the small courtyard is about to collapse, so I live here." ”

"Alas, I have wronged my brother, my original wish was to let you leave a name for worship, but you also know the situation in the door, not I alone can call the shots. Chen Hao said with emotion.

Hao Qing nodded and said, "This result is what I expected, no wonder the door master." ”

"Well, it's not that the door doesn't miss the old feelings, the reputation and contribution of the senior brother back then are obvious to everyone, so this time I have discussed it with the second hall in the door, and more than half of the elders have agreed, and I will ask the senior brother to re-enter the elder pavilion tomorrow. ”

Hao Qing's face was full of excitement and he got up and saluted: "Hao Qing thanked the door master." ”

Chen Hao nodded, a hint of sigh flashed in his heart, Hao Qing called the door master instead of the junior brother, and there was still resentment in his heart, but it didn't matter, this scene was originally for Yang Tingfeng to see.

Chen Hao turned his head to look at Yang Tingfeng and said, "Xiaoyou called me over early in the morning, I don't know what it was?"

Yang Tingfeng paused and put down the pastry in his hand: "I want Brother Tianjiang to have no worries." There was a hint of undoubtedness in his words, this was the first time Yang Tingfeng had used such a tough tone.

Chen Hao frowned slightly, he understood the meaning of Yang Tingfeng's words, but it was a little difficult to do, "If you want to cut off an offering, I can call the shots, can Xiaoyou give me some time?"

Seeing Yang Tingfeng shaking his head, Chen Hao couldn't help but sink in his heart, this would be another dilemma. Lin Xiang has been in the door for many years, and his power is not small, there are two elders who are good friends, and there are many disciples at all levels who are attached to him, if there is no good reason, it is difficult to convince people to be convicted like this.

At this time, Hao Qing interjected: "Xiaoyou, this matter is not urgent, and a careful plan is needed, although you are grateful for such a practice, but now the Xunmen is overgrown with weeds, and all forces have eyeliner in the Xunmen, if it is not handled well, it will hurt the foundation of the Xunmen." ”

Chen Hao cast a grateful look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his senior brother still thinks about everything for the door, even if the door is ashamed of him, it is still like this, if it is the same from the top and bottom of the sect, why should I worry about the great cause of the sect.

Yang Tingfeng smiled: "No need, Sect Master Chen only needs to gather the people with decision-making power in the door to gather in a hall, I have my own way." ”

Chen Hao was slightly startled and got up and hugged his fists and said, "Xiaoyou, can you show me your bottom?"

Yang Tingfeng got up, walked to Chen Hao's side, lowered his head, and whispered something in his ear that only the two of them could hear.

Chen Hao's face was shocked, and he clenched his fists and said, "I'll do it, Xiaoyou is waiting for my news." After saying that, he turned around and hurried out.

Hao Qing and the others on the side were a little puzzled, what did Yang Tingfeng say to Chen Hao?

Shen Tianjiang seemed to remember something, and said, "Brother Feng, did you borrow the momentum of your little sister?" Seeing Yang Tingfeng nodded, Shen Tianjiang raised a touch of joy on his face, how could he forget this stubble.

And Hao Qing on the side was even more puzzled, what little sister? I didn't hear that Shen Tianjiang also had a great little sister.

Shen Tianjiang explained to Hao Qing in detail, and he finally understood, but the shock on his face was a little lingering for a long time, Beixuan Mountain, that is the number one overlord in the north, who doesn't know the entire mountain? He never expected that Shen Tianjiang's little sister was actually in Beixuan Mountain, and listening to his words, it seemed that the position in Beixuan Mountain was not low.

........

Chen Hao, who was hurrying forward on the other side, gradually raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and the smile slowly expanded, Chen Hao laughed directly on the avenue, Beixuanshan, with this backing mountain Xunmen to dominate Moyuan, that is also a matter of Beixuanshan's words. From this point of view, a Lin Xiang seems insignificant.

Some disciples on the road, when they heard the laughter, they all looked over curiously, and when they saw the door master smiling in the sky, their eyes couldn't help but become a little weird, Chen Hao didn't mind, every time he met someone, he had to go up and pat his shoulder, and say two words of encouragement, which made many people feel that today's door master was crazy?

Chen Hao stopped and stopped all the way, and the smile on his face almost never broke, until he walked through a courtyard gate, he retracted a little.

After a while, the eldest elder walked out of the courtyard and bowed and said, "The door master has a good complexion, I don't know what is the joy today?"

Chen Hao smiled and said: "Today's happy event is big, and I entered the courtyard and said that the Xunmen is going to change." His eyes full of deep meaning shocked the Great Elder, and he hurriedly opened the door and let Chen Hao walk in.

After closing the courtyard door, the Great Elder turned around and looked at Chen Hao with inquiring eyes.

"I won't go into detail about this matter, Great Elder, you go and gather all the elders who have the right to decide, and the master of this sect is going to eradicate a tumor of the Xun Sect today. ”

The Great Elder frowned slightly: "Who is the main sect to eradicate, and do you need to gather all the elders?"

Chen Hao said coldly: "Lin Xiang, Lin is enshrined." ”

The Great Elder's brows furrowed even tighter: "The Sect Master can't wait any longer? Didn't you and I already have an idea about this last night? It is not appropriate for the current Xunmen to make a big move, when the time comes, how will you and I end up?" The Great Elder, who did not know, was a little anxious, and even slightly dissatisfied.

Chen Hao didn't mind, he knew that the Great Elder was dedicated to doing things for the Xunmen, doing his best without complaint, and he was one of the most loyal to the Xunmen. "Great Elder, don't worry, I know this matter in my heart. Chen Hao smiled and comforted, and then whispered two more words in the ear of the Great Elder.

The Great Elder's face was shocked, and it took ten breaths before he came back to his senses and said with excitement on his face: "What the door master said... But really?"

Chen Hao nodded: "This was said to me by Yang Xiaoyou personally, looking at the expression on his face, it is not a lie, besides, who dares to lie in this matter?

The Great Elder nodded, and before the excitement on his face dissipated, he greeted Chen Hao, and hurriedly turned around to summon the ministers.

Chen Hao also followed closely and walked all the way to the tallest building on the top of the mountain.

......

On the top of Liuyun Mountain, where the Xunmen Gate is located, there is only one one-story pavilion made of wood, which occupies half of the entire mountaintop, and the other half is a huge open space paved with stone slabs.

Although it is only one floor, both the area and the decoration are full of grandeur, the golden plaque hanging above the main gate is slightly dazzling in the sun, and the 'Resolution Pavilion' written on it is prominent from the inside out.

In the attic, there are many people sitting up and down in the courtyard, including men and women, old and young, and the atmosphere seems a little heavy. This morning everyone received a message from the master of the door that at noon they were going to discuss a matter in the council chamber.

At first, they didn't care, thinking it was just an ordinary meeting, but when they arrived, they found that they all seemed to have the right to make decisions, and some of the elders who had been in retreat all year round were present at the meeting, and everyone smelled something unusual in it.

I remember that the last time there was such a lineup was more than ten years ago, when the old pavilion master abdicated, and the new pavilion owner took office.

The most incredible thing for everyone is the white-haired old man who is sleeping soundly on the top of the seat, although the old man is sleeping soundly, but no one has a look on his face that he does not hide, and the people who have just entered the house see the sleeping old man tiptoeing to his seat, for fear of disturbing the old man.

Looking at his seat, he also knew that the old man was the highest person in this courtyard, and even Chen Hao was just sitting on the old man.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Chen Hao got up and coughed a few times to focus everyone's attention on himself.

"Uh... Now that we're all here, I'll get started. Chen Hao walked to the center of the courtyard and continued, "Where is Lin Xiang?"

Lin Xiang, who was sitting in the right corner, hurriedly got up and saluted: "The worship hall ranks twenty-ninth and enshrines Lin Xiang here, I don't know what the door master commands?"

Chen Hao's eyes narrowed: "You come here." ”

Lin Xiang's heart suddenly suddenly, it didn't seem like a good thing to hear this tone, besides, the people who had always stood in the center except for the door master didn't seem to have a good end, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and slowly walked out of the crowd, standing not far from Chen Hao's side.

Chen Hao turned his head and looked at the spirit cards placed in the inner hall and said indifferently: "Kneel." Lin Xiang's heart was even more uneasy, and he was a little hesitant to kneel, this kneeling would mean that he was guilty.

The old man sitting in the second row above under the Great Elder stood up: "I don't know what crime Lin Xiang has committed?

Chen Hao frowned, this Lin Xiang's connections are really very good, even the second elder has caught up, "Great Elder, come on." ”

The Great Elder nodded, took out a blank piece of paper from his arms, and said loudly, "Xunmen criminal, Lin Xiang." Violating the door rules many times, as if the door rules are nothing, today in response to the evidence of all parties, hereby invite all the elders to worship and the ancestors to convict. ”

Lin Xiang stared at him and retorted, "Great Elder, please pay attention to your words, how can you say that you are a sinner before you have come up with evidence?"

The Great Elder glanced at Lin Xiang coldly and did not answer, turned around and bowed to the inner hall and continued: "Lin Xiang has committed three crimes, and all crimes are punished.

First, colluding with the disciples in the sect and forming gangs in groups, according to the rules of the sect, this crime should be expelled from the sect.

Second, for the sake of their own interests, they murder their fellow disciples and kill each other, according to the door rules, this crime should be punished.

Third, abusing power for personal gain, using his own rights to privately arrange for his family members to enter the door, and repeatedly instigating his own descendants to help the family to abuse, according to the door rules, this crime should be punished. ”

A hint of hatred flashed in Lin Xiang's eyes, he finally understood, this is to kill himself, these three crimes are just dispensable, which one of you here dares to say that he is clean? It is just tacit, these crimes are insignificant at best, but they can kill a person when they are big.

Chen Hao said with a cold face: "Sinner Lin Xiang, can you plead guilty?"

Lin Xiang said fiercely: "I confess my guilt? Why should I confess my guilt? I have been in the Honor Sect for more than 15 years, and I have no merit and hard work, so I will be convicted just by virtue of the words of the Great Elder?"

"Yes, this matter is a little reckless, not to mention whether these charges are true or false, even if they are true, they are big or small crimes, besides, although Lin Xiang has not made any great achievements in the past few years, the disciples who can be brought out are also the leaders of my sect, so I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to convict him like this. The second elder pursed his lips and said leisurely.

"Yes! ”

"That's right, if you are convicted like this, I'm afraid that the disciples in the sect will be dissatisfied. ”

“.......”

Someone took the lead, and many elders and worshippers followed suit. Chen Hao counted carefully, and probably more than half of them were saying good things for Lin Xiang.

Chen Hao laughed angrily: "A Lin Xiang is still like this, if you change someone, I am afraid that you will defect? When will it be the turn of my Xunmen to step into this field? But everyone here has forgotten where you belong? But you have forgotten the oath you have made at the entrance? But you have forgotten whose food you ate?" His words were loud, with irrepressible anger on his face.
