Chapter 56: Putting the cart before the horse
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan, who was still unaware of the situation, also faintly felt a little pity, and stepped forward again to stop him: "Little brother, even if Elder Yu really committed an unforgivable crime, is it a bit too much for you to do this!" ”
"Hehe, excessive?
Is Patriarch Xiao really a good person? ”
Mo Li sneered, and then drew his weapon: "I'll slaughter you old thing now!" ”
"Wait!"
Xiao Zhan shouted, and a fierce momentum suddenly burst out from his body, blocking Mo Li again: "Xiao wants to know, what happened!" ”
"Patriarch Xiao, what exactly do you want to do?"
While gritting his teeth and squeezing out a few words, Mo Li also clenched his fists tightly, although he did not flinch, but he did have some jealousy in his heart.
This Xiao Zhan is not just the patriarch of the Xiao clan, his own strength is still a great fighter, and he can almost walk sideways in this Utan City.
In other words, if Xiao Zhan really wanted to protect this old man today, the Blood Blade Mercenary Group would have no way at all.
The powerhouse of the Great Dou Master is not something that a few fighters can match, let alone the few guards that Xiao Zhan still carried.
"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to get some facts straight."
Xiao Zhan picked up Yu Lao on the ground, and then said: "If Yu Lao really made a big mistake, Xiao will naturally not say anything.
But if you're being vexatious, then Hugh blames me. ”
Mu Xue was already an anxious person, and when she saw this scene happening, she was about to rush over, but she was stopped by Lin Fan and signaled her not to be impulsive.
"Brother Fan, that Xiao patriarch is really too lenient, I'm going to say a few words to him." Mu Xue looked like she was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and said with a big grin.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first!"
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan, in fact, he also felt that Xiao Zhan was a little lenient, but he wanted to know why Xiao Zhan was willing to help Yu Lao, it was none of his business, but he repeatedly stopped it.
But thinking about it, this Xiao Zhan is not an unreasonable person, maybe he just wants to figure things out, I believe that after he knows the whole story, he will not stop it more, after all, what Yu Lao did can be described as unkind and unjust.
"Ask him what good he did!"
Mo Li pointed at Yu Lao, his words full of anger.
"Mr. Yu, you tell the truth, if there is really any grievance, Xiao will definitely make the decision for you." Xiao Zhan patted Yu Lao's shoulder, and his tone was kind.
"Patriarch Xiao has to be the master of the old decay!"
Yu Lao fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed his head fiercely.
Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned, hurriedly helped Yu Lao, and said with a smile: "Tell the truth!" ”
Yu Lao first bowed to Xiao Zhan, and then said, "These people are all mercenaries of the Blood Blade Mercenary Group, and on the carriage is their regiment leader Zhao Tiehammer.
A few days ago, Boss Wu sent me to find a mercenary group to escort a batch of medicinal herbs back to Qingshan Station, so I found this bloody blade mercenary group, and I wanted to pull them along. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Lao's eyes also became resentful, and he turned to stare at Mo Li and said: "But I never thought that the wolf ambition of this blood-hot mercenary group not only killed a few of the guards accompanying us in the Hanging Ji Hall on the way back.
And also threatened me to give false testimony for them, saying that I had encountered robbers, so I came to Boss Wu to ask for more payment! ”
"You talk nonsense!"
Mo Li shouted, followed by another kick.
But it was easily blocked by Xiao Zhan.
Mo Li was suddenly anxious: "He lied, Patriarch Xiao don't believe him!" ”
Xiao Zhan glanced at Mo Li with an unkind face, ignored it, and then turned his head to look at Old Yu: "Old Mr. Yu, please continue." ”
"Patriarch Xiao should know that I have followed Boss Wu for many years and have always been loyal, how could I be coerced, of course I don't agree.
However, this bloody mercenary group beat me to a serious injury, and framed me with the bandits upside down, wanting to arrest me and ask Boss Wu for an explanation.
If I hadn't happened to meet Patriarch Xiao, I would have been innocent in this life, and I am afraid that it would be ruined! ”
As Yu Lao finished saying what was right and wrong, the modest look on Xiao Zhan's face disappeared, and then he turned his head and said coldly: "Little brother, what do you say?" ”
"Patriarch Xiao clearly saw that this old man Yu had already teamed up with the robbers to seriously injure our regiment leader, but now he is reversing black and white and talking nonsense.
We traveled all the way, and the Hanging Ji Hall did not send a single escort to accompany us at all, so where did we come from to kill the guards, and our regiment commander was seriously injured, how can this be explained? ”
Mo Li glared at Yu Lao angrily and argued with reason.
This old man reversed black and white on the phone, which was unreasonable.
Not to mention that the serious injury of the regiment commander Zhao Tiehammer cannot be faked, just the accompanying guards that Yu Lao said are already full of flaws.
"Oh?"
Xiao Zhan was shocked, and then looked at Zhao Tiehammer lying in the carriage, with his strength, it was not difficult to see that Zhao Tiehammer was indeed injured.
But what Yu Lao said is also reasonable, and it was a little difficult to choose for a while.
At this time, the corners of Yu Lao's mouth were filled with an imperceptible sneer, and he immediately continued to speak: "My Xuanji Hall has sent a total of four guards this time, and the strongest of them is the Nine Star Fighter, Qian Fei.
It was he who desperately injured Zhao Tiehammer.
These guards were all sent to me by Boss Wu, if Patriarch Xiao doesn't believe it, go to Xuanji Hall and ask. ”
"Then let's go to Hangji Hall and ask Boss Wu, if this is really the case, then Xiao will never spare these mercenaries!"
Xiao Zhan waved his sleeves and walked directly in the direction of Hangji Hall with Yu Lao, and several guards followed closely behind.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Li was a little flustered, since Yu Lao dared to say so, it was estimated that the matter of those guards should be true, but he quietly solved it.
If he knew this, he should have listened to Lin Fan's words and slaughtered him in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, where would there be so many things behind.
"Let's go, Brother Li, don't stand stupidly."
Lin Fan patted Mo Li's shoulder, and then gently pulled Mu Xue and took the lead to keep up with Xiao Zhan's footsteps.
"Brother Fan, is that Patriarch Xiao old and confused, and actually believed Old Man Yu's words."
Mu Xue followed behind Lin Fan and asked in a low voice.
"I think he's old and confused, too."
Lin Fan nodded affirmatively, and then quipped: "Can't you see it, Xue'er, you can even hear the loopholes in Old Man Yu's words?" ”
"Cut, this girl is so smart and icy, how can she not hear it."
Mu Xue glanced at Lin Fan: "But Brother Fan, since you also heard it, why didn't you say it just now." ”
"There's no hurry, we're going to Hangjitang anyway, and it's not too late to expose him again."
Lin Fan smiled mysteriously: "Moreover, didn't you say it either." ”
"Hehe, Brother Fan didn't say anything, how dare I steal your limelight."
