The sword slave came forward to preside over the overall situation, and asked Zhuang Ding to light the lampball torch and the bright pine to illuminate the courtyard. He walked in front of Lu Chong with his hands behind his back, and interrogated him with words, asking no more than a few questions, one is to ask Lu Chong's background in detail, the second is the reason for building the secret passage, and the third is why he wants to sneak attack and hurt people.

Don't look at Yu Feihong's big shoulders and round waist, without a little femininity, but Lu Chong and Yu Feihong have a very good relationship, and they can be regarded as a model couple. Lu Chong heard that the lady had died tragically at the hands of Hua Xiangrong, and his mood was extremely angry, plus he fell into the hands of others, there was no hope of survival, and he only wanted to die quickly. He refused to cooperate with the sword slave at all, either he didn't open his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, he would scold.

The sword slave was also a fiery temper, and soon moved to kill, giving Lu Chong a good time, ordering someone to drag the body down, and then asked the other people in the inn instead.

Lu Chong is an outlaw who regards death as home, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like him, the other shopkeepers, all of them are cowards, and in order to save their lives, they have all confessed to the truth.

As soon as the sword slave heard that the Lu family and his wife were robbers who had rolled off their horses before, and this was another black shop that had been open for many years, he felt that it was enough to know this, so he didn't ask any further. As for the reason why the Lu family and his wife carried out a sneak attack on him and Zhao Zheng, they don't need to get to the bottom of it, they can guess it with a guess. The husband and wife of the Lu family either plotted to plot the first sword, or because the secret passage was discovered, they were annoyed and angry, so they moved to kill.

The husband and wife of the Lu family are all in the law, but there are still a few shopkeepers left to deal with. The sword slave hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to spare the lives of these people and ordered Zhuang Ding to tie up these people. Temporarily held in one place. Wait until tomorrow morning. Then it will be sent to the government, and the government will come forward to deal with it. This is called asking only about the first evil, not prosecuting the accomplices, and forgiving others.

After dealing with these black shops, the sword slave led people to conduct a thorough search of the secret passages of the inn, from which they found some harmful organs, poisons and even the dead man's pit to bury the dead, in addition, they also found the income of the Lu family and his wife over the years. Together, there are more than 200,000 taels.

A black shop like this that hides dirt and dirt must not be kept. The sword slave announced that they would stay for the last night tonight, and that when they set out to-morrow, they would burn the place to ashes with fire, so that it would not fall into the hands of others in the future.

After dealing with these miscellaneous things, the Lu family's old shop finally slowly regained its calm, and most of the people returned to their rooms except for the person in charge of guarding the prisoners and the person on duty.

Hua Xiangrong has always liked to be quiet, and it was only then that she called Shen Luoxia and Zhao Zheng to her side to give a lecture.

"Luoxia. Are you wrong? Hua Xiangrong asked with a tense face.

"The apprentice knows that he is wrong." Shen Luoxia stood opposite Hua Xiangrong and lowered her head. Crying answered.

"What's wrong with you?"

"An apprentice should never turn his back on his master and go back to his hometown alone to find his parents." Shen Luoxia replied.

"! As a child, why is it wrong for you to go back to find your parents? When I say wrong, I mean something else, and you think about it. Hua Xiangrong slapped the table and said sharply.

Shen Luoxia saw that her master was not angry, so she thought about it for a while, and thought of another big mistake she had made, so she immediately blushed and lowered her head.

"Hmph, you also know shame, if you are ashamed, why did you do those unsightly things? After I was separated from you for a year, I was worried that something would happen to you outside, so I secretly followed you back to your hometown. I thought you would live a peaceful life with your parents, but I didn't expect you to mingle with wild men, drinking and having fun all day long. It really made me so angry that I almost beat you to death in a fit of rage. I resisted my anger and secretly decided in my heart that I would never want you as an apprentice again, so I left angrily. After another two years, I couldn't help but find you again to see if you repented. Unexpectedly, not only did you not repent, but instead became even worse, completely becoming a slut and having relationships with several men. I'm even more disappointed in you, and I want to kill you, but I still don't want to do it. In the blink of an eye, another few years have passed, and you have finally reined in a little, learned self-love, and stopped seducing men everywhere. But in the face of the past, I still can't forgive you. I've accepted you as an apprentice in my life, but I didn't expect you to disappoint me so much. Hua Xiangrong said angrily.

Shen Luoxia's face changed sharply when she heard this, red for a while, white for a while, and after the master finished speaking, she immediately bowed down and cried: "What the master taught is that the apprentice knows that he is wrong, and he blames the apprentice for not being honest, looking for fun everywhere, which makes the master angry, and I hope the master will forgive, I promise to change my past mistakes in the future, obediently listen to the master's words, clean and self-love, and behave in a disciplined manner." ”

"How can I forgive you for doing so many ridiculous things? If I hadn't thought of your pitiful background and the love of master and apprentice, I would have slapped you to death with one palm. ”

"Master, the apprentice took a wrong step, took a wrong step, took a wrong step, and then walked more and more crookedly, so that he fell into the field where he is today. At the beginning, because I missed my biological parents, I asked you to quit and left, and returned to my hometown. Unexpectedly, I came back one step later, and my parents had all died in a plague and turned into a handful of loess. I was alone, with no Master, no relatives, no friends, and I just wished that someone would be by my side to comfort me. It was at that time that I met a prodigal son who took advantage of the situation and broke into my life, accompanying me every day and comforting me. In that case, I was in a moment of confusion, so I did a foolish thing with him. My relationship with him didn't last long, and then I saw through his personality and separated from him. Probably out of a sense of revenge, I found another man, who would have thought that I would meet someone unladylike again, and meet an even worse man. I went on and on, and I got along with several men. Shen Luoxia said while wiping her tears.

"Wrong is wrong, what's the use of saying this?"

"I only hope that Master can read it for my extenuating sake, forgive me once, let me return to you, and continue to be your apprentice."

"Hmph, it's not a good thing for me to want to look. Stealing money when there was no money to spend. Killed people when they were angry. But there is a limit to my patience, and not everything can be accepted. For example, I can't accept the things you did, let alone forgive you. I didn't want to show my face, but when the old man said my name, I couldn't hide anymore. I did not come out to see you to forgive you, but to break with you. Completely sever the master-apprentice relationship. You kowtow to me three times, let me dissipate my anger, and then get out, don't be cheeky and tell others that you are my apprentice, I can't afford to lose this person. Hua Xiangrong flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Master, if the apprentice makes a mistake, you can beat me and scold you, even if you beat me to death with one palm. I have no complaints. In this world, I am apart from this younger brother by my side. You are the only one who has a relative, and I must never lose you again. Now, I don't dare to expect you to forgive me, but I hope you won't be so ruthless and cut off the master-apprentice relationship with me. Shen Luoxia knelt down and cried.

Zhao Zheng has been standing by and listening, and when he saw his sister crying, his heart hurt like a knife, and he was very uncomfortable. He intended to step forward to help speak, but he felt that he couldn't interject, so he held back until now. In his opinion, although Hua Xiangrong said that he was ruthless, he must still be reluctant to give up on his sister in his heart, otherwise he would not have secretly gone to the Hongchen Inn to visit his sister again and again. Today's matter must still be negotiable.

He frowned, devised some rhetoric in his heart, and dared to step forward to persuade him: "Seniors, juniors have a word to tell, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Hua wanted to hate Wu and Wu, and was also angry with Zhao Zheng, waved his hand, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, just let it go." ”

"Senior, you drink saliva, dissipate your anger, and listen to my kind words of persuasion. My sister Shen Luoxia did make a big mistake and did a lot of inappropriate and ridiculous things, even I, who was a younger brother, felt that she was not doing it right. However, even if she is wrong, it is understandable. She was lonely and helpless at the beginning, and when she met a man who knew cold and hot, she would inevitably have feelings and promise each other. It is human nature for men to marry and women to marry. According to ordinary marriage customs, there should have been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, and then a man and a woman could come together. But my sister was alone at that time, with no parents or elders around her, and no one to marry her abbot, so she could only make decisions about her own future. ”

Zhao Zheng paused when he said this, peeked at Hua Xiangrong, and found that the old-timer had a contemplative look on his face, and seemed to be shaken. He relaxed slightly, cleared his throat, and continued: "In my humble opinion, my sister was still young and simple-minded at that time, and she should have really wanted to marry that man, not to be greedy for fun. If that man is a good man and really wants to marry my sister, it is estimated that the two of them will definitely get married and achieve positive results. It's a pity that that man is a prodigal son, and he doesn't really want to marry my sister, but just plays on the spot. Since my sister has seen through the true face of that man, she naturally can't be entangled with that man anymore, so she can only cut off contact with him. But the matter has come to this, the mistake has been made, and it is too late to make amends, and my sister can no longer recover her perfect body. Since then, my sister has broken the jar and broken and lost more and more self-love. Your old man once secretly met my sister at this time, and you, as her master, should have stood up to correct her and appease her, but you didn't do it, but left in anger and abandoned her. As the saying goes, the son doesn't teach, the father's fault, my sister was no longer there at that time, so she counted on a master like you to teach her. You don't teach her, she made a mistake, and you are half responsible for this mistake, and you can't blame my sister completely. ”

When Hua Xiangrong heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said: "Little monkey cub, you really ate the courage of an ambitious leopard, and you dare to teach me a lesson!" Don't think that you are Shen Luoxia's younger brother and can shout five and six in front of me, my name as a female yaksha is not for nothing, there are not a hundred but eighty people who died under my hands, you have made me anxious, be careful that I turn my face and don't recognize people, and I will slap you to death here! ”

Zhao Zhengcheng did not change his color, and continued with the courage to continue: "I am just expressing my opinion as a bystander, if the seniors can't listen to it, they can slap me to death, but even if you hang your palm above my head, I still have to say what I should say." Shen Luoxia and I fell to the ground, married Jin Lan, and became sisters and brothers. Although we are not related by blood, I already treat her as my own sister. Today she wants to beg your old man for forgiveness, even if I give up this little life, I have to help her speak. ”

Shen Luoxia saw that her master was angry, and even threatened to kill Zhao Zheng, her face changed drastically in fright, and she hurriedly stopped it: "Brother, don't say it, my master has a bad temper, if you anger her, the consequences will be unimaginable." All these mistakes are of my own making, and I have nothing to do with you, so I don't need you to intervene here. ”

"Traitor, you shut up for me, let this little monkey cub continue, I want to see if he can reverse black and white with this red mouth and white teeth, and say what is wrong is right and what is right is wrong!" Hua Xiangrong glared and shouted, interrupting Shen Luoxia's words.

By now, Zhao Zheng had put his own safety at risk, and made up his mind to knead this matter and crush it, and put it all on the table. Hua Xiangrong and Shen Luoxia, the master and apprentice, have been in a cold war for many years, and they are torture for each other, and they should come up with a result. He took a step forward and continued: "It is precisely because of your lax discipline and lack of teaching that my sister has made mistakes again and again and done so many foolish things. As a master, when you see that your disciple has done something wrong, you should not walk away with anger, but you should come forward to teach. If you had come forward to teach my sister, she wouldn't be where she is today. Therefore, I can't blame her entirely for my sister's mistakes, and there is a certain reason for you. I don't say this to excuse my sister, but I don't want to put all the blame on her alone. There are still things wrong with her, but not so badly. ”

"Since you also admit that she was wrong, what's wrong with me punishing her?" Hua Xiangrong asked sharply.

"If the apprentice does something wrong, the master punishes the apprentice, this is a natural thing, there is nothing wrong. However, people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and mistakes can be light or heavy, big or small. The students in the private school memorized the wrong book, and the gentleman just typed a few prototypes. Robbers robbing homes and houses for money and killing people are felonies of killing the head. My sister misbehaved, this is wrong, but the mistake is not so serious, even if you have to punish her, you should not expel her from the school, at most teach her a lesson. If you don't feel like it's enough to just talk about it, you can hit her twice, and I won't stop you. I just hope you can calm down and stop abandoning her, she has been thinking about you all these years when you are not by her side. It is precisely because you are not by her side that she will become dissolute and use those things to anesthetize herself. That's all I have to say, and it's up to you to decide exactly how you decide. After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he gave a deep salute and waited for Hua Xiangrong to dispose of it.
