The early morning wind was blowing slightly in Chaosi Lane, but what was blowing was a wave of heat, the scorching sun was overhead, and the cultivators did not change, but the people gathered outside the door of the small courtyard to probe their brains were sweating like rain, and they were suffering mentally and physically.

They didn't dare to get too close, and they couldn't see what the scene was like in the small courtyard, and their impatient hearts and the scorching sun were very uncomfortable.

Although Li Mengzhou is the person who has lived in Chaosi Lane for the shortest time, he has more or less some feelings with these neighbors, such as eating noodles in Aunt Feng's noodle restaurant every day, forging Pu knives in Liu Blacksmith's shop, buying wine in the tavern opposite, and so on.

Aunt Feng is the person who helped Li Mengzhou the most, but other residents in Chaosi Lane have also helped Li Mengzhou, and Li Mengzhou will also help his neighbors when he is free, such as work that requires effort.

Now the small courtyard is full of officers and soldiers, and the residents of Chaosi Lane can't help Li Mengzhou, but the worries in their hearts are very real.

Xie Chunfeng, who appeared in the small courtyard at this moment, looked a little ugly.

The atmosphere in the whole courtyard was depressing and tense, and there was a feeling that a storm was coming.

Xie Ning's mood is also a little heavy, he is very close to Lu Changge in the mountain, although Lu Changge's temper is very smelly and arrogant, but the relationship between the same door is quite pleasant, now Lu Changge is dead, and the murderer may be Li Mengzhou, if Xie Ning is indifferent, it can't be said.

He naturally wanted to avenge Lu Changge, but he also knew very well that with his own strength, he couldn't help Li Mengzhou at all, and now he just gritted his teeth and stared at Li Mengzhou, who seemed to have nothing to do, and was resentful.

When Xie Chunfeng first appeared, Mu Nan smiled, it was obvious that in this situation, Xuan Zhengsi and Bu Luo were on the same side, if Li Mengzhou resisted at this time, then there would be no disciples who did not fall down the mountain to deal with it, even if he killed Li Mengzhou by mistake, it had nothing to do with Xuan Zheng Si.

As long as the cultivators don't make trouble in the capital, if the disciples of the two mountain gates have any entanglement, it is not within the responsibility of the Xuanzheng Division, and there is no difference between who lives or dies on both of them, and if Li Mengzhou and Xie Chunfeng fight, it is actually obvious who will die in the end.

The armor priest with the Xuanzheng Division received Mu Nan's secret signal, and the corpse of Lu Changge, who had already been brought with him, was quickly placed in the center of the small courtyard and presented in front of the disciples who did not fall from the mountain.

Lu Changge's body was lying there quietly, the scars cut by the sharp weapon on his neck were very visible, and although the blood had coagulated, it had not been cleaned up, just like when he first died.

Those dead eyes appeared in front of the disciples who did not fall into the mountain, and they were all angry, and they all drew their swords and pointed at Li Mengzhou.

Xie Ning finally couldn't help it, stepped forward and said, "The Palace Sword Academy is too deceitful!"

These words directly raised the situation to another level, and he was not only targeting Li Mengzhou, but the entire Imperial Sword Academy.

Li Mengzhou was silent.

He slowly stood up from the rattan chair, looked at everyone in the small courtyard calmly, and said lightly: "I admit that I killed Lu Changge, I believe that you have also investigated the matter very clearly, you have doubts in your hearts but you can't find evidence." ”

"But I want to say that Lu Changge secretly peeped outside Chaosi Alley many times, and even showed murderous intent to me, although he did not really do anything, but I can't wait for him to really do it to me before fighting back, since he has already shown killing intent to me, then it is reasonable for me to kill him, the difference is only that I did it before him. ”

These words seem to make a lot of sense, the so-called prevention is better than the first thing, since everyone has the idea of killing themselves, of course they want to kill back, it seems that there is no problem?

But from another standpoint, although Lu Changge was peeping in secret, he didn't really do anything, and it couldn't constitute a capital crime, so he directly killed him, which seemed a little far-fetched.

There is no absolute truth in the world, and people with different positions will of course look at the same thing differently, and there is nothing worth discussing about this matter.

Li Mengzhou followed his original intention, and in his position, of course, it was correct.

On the victim's side, it's the exact opposite.

It's impossible to really tangle a right from wrong.

Xie Chunfeng didn't bother with the idea of this issue, it was a fact that Lu Changge was killed by Li Mengzhou, so he always had to do something about it.

Xie Ning's idea was very simple, he said angrily: "You don't have to be sophistry! No matter what your reason is, it is also a fact that Senior Brother Lu was killed by you, there must always be an explanation! Could this be the style of your Leaving the Palace Sword Academy? Killing other disciples, just give a reason at will, and treat it as if nothing happened?!"

Li Mengzhou looked at Xie Ning and said, "Don't you think your words are very contradictory? You want me to give an explanation, I have already given it, as for whether you can approve it, that's your business, since you don't agree, why do you want me to give an explanation?"

Shainin was speechless for a moment.

Of course, he had thought about letting Li Mengzhou give Lu Changge his life, but in that case, the Palace Sword Courtyard and the Buluo Mountain Gate would really be endless, although he was young, he didn't understand anything, and what the outcome of this matter would be in the end was not something he could decide.

Li Mengzhou didn't care what Xie Ning was thinking in his heart, and said to himself: "I am a disciple of the inner courtyard of the palace, maybe it will be the family of the palace in the future, and the only rule of the palace sword courtyard is that you must not suffer a loss, as the so-called advantage is not to take advantage of the bastard, and to suffer a loss is a blessing, absolutely not, this is my attitude, if you want to fight, I will follow." ”

The courtyard was very quiet.

Li Mengzhou's voice was extremely loud.

There are no impassioned, very plain words, but his attitude is vividly expressed.

Quite shameless.

That's right, in the ears of Xie Ning and the disciples who don't fall into the mountain, these words are extremely shameless and shameless declarations.

But it is true that the Leaving Palace Sword Academy is not a place that can be reasonable, even if it is the third senior sister, she only occasionally reasoned when she was willing, but in fact, the final result has nothing to do with the reason she said, and it is still necessary to use strength to solve it.

Pride itself is also a shamelessness.

The sword cultivators in the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace are all people who are proud to the extreme, and naturally they are also people who are shameless to the extreme.

That's in the bones.

"Senior brother said it well!"

A loud voice suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard.

Ning Haoran, who was dressed in a white shirt, stepped over the threshold of the small courtyard, followed by Jiang Zihua and Ye Jinyu, as well as He Zhengrong and Shen Jiyue and other Sword Academy disciples.

Ye Jinyu had just returned to the capital, and it happened that Jiang Zihua got a message from the girl, and immediately informed the fourth senior brother Ning Haoran that they met halfway, and it was about Li Mengzhou, and Ye Jinyu also came with him.

Regardless of his impression of Li Mengzhou, the concept implemented by the Palace Sword Academy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the disciples, and when the same disciples and brothers are in trouble, they should help everyone else.

The small courtyard in Chaosi Lane is not very large, and the people of the Xuanzheng Division, the Mountain Fall, and the Palace Sword Courtyard almost fill the entire courtyard, which seems to be very crowded.

That said, there are clearly three camps.

Mu Nan seemed to have become a bystander, he was very happy to see the Sword Courtyard of the Imperial Palace and Buluo Mountain fighting, even if he was in the same camp as Buluo Mountain on the surface, he was also very clever and stood a little back.

Ning Haoran stood in front of Li Mengzhou, looked around at the people in the small courtyard, and said in a calm voice without any emotion: "I don't want to suffer a loss when I leave the palace sword courtyard, if you want to move my junior brother, ask me about the sword in my hand first." ”

Xie Chunfeng frowned, he looked at Ning Haoran and said: "My junior brother Lu Changge was killed by Li Mengzhou in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, this is already a matter of conclusive evidence, you are really so unreasonable to defend Li Mengzhou, and even do not hesitate to go to war with me from falling down the mountain?"

Even if he knew that it was impossible for the people in the Palace Sword Academy to be reasonable, Ning Haoran's move still made Xie Chunfeng very embarrassed.

Ning Haoran also looked back at Xie Chunfeng, and said calmly: "Your junior brother died, because he was too weak, how can you blame my junior brother? ”

Xie Chunfeng said in a cold voice: "Lu Changge has the idea of revenge against Li Mengzhou, it is indeed his fault, but then again, he just had that idea, and only made a little move, but he didn't really take action, he has been punished in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, this matter could have been solved happily, why did he have to make a mistake." ”

"According to this situation, Zhu Shilang's death is obviously not my Senior Brother Lu's doing, I don't care who killed Zhu Shilang, but Li Mengzhou's behavior of sneaking into the Xuanzheng Division's prison to kill my Senior Brother Lu is a very trivial matter in your eyes?"

In fact, Xie Chunfeng's words are quite tactful, things have developed to this point, it doesn't matter who killed Zhu Shilang, but if it weren't for Lu Changge, the real murderer would undoubtedly have a point, but Xie Chunfeng didn't say it explicitly, obviously telling Ning Haoran that he had no intention of making a big deal out of it.

But Ning Haoran's attitude had already angered him a little.

Ning Haoran was expressionless and was silent for a while.

He also knew very well in his heart that although Lu Changge was wrong at the beginning of this matter, Li Mengzhou's mistake was not small, but he couldn't push his junior brother out, just as Xie Chunfeng wanted to protect his junior brother, Ning Haoran had to protect his junior brother, and it was also because of the different positions, if he wanted to be reasonable, it was very difficult.

He didn't care about declaring war with Bu Shan, but it couldn't be denied that once he left the palace sword courtyard and didn't die without falling from the mountain, the situation would become very complicated, and even more junior disciples might die.

Ning Haoran thought for a moment, looked at Xie Chunfeng and said: "Lu Changge is dead, his fault can not be mentioned, and Li Mengzhou is also at fault, but I will not allow him to suffer any harm, the Palace Sword Academy can punish Li Mengzhou and give you an explanation for not falling off the mountain, this is the bottom line, if you agree, everyone will be happy, if you don't agree, then you can really only fight." ”

Ning Haoran made some concessions, but the fundamental purpose was to protect Li Mengzhou, which was something that could not be accepted by not falling from the mountain.

Lu Changge is already dead, and Li Mengzhou has only received some punishment, which is too unfair.

Before Xie Chunfeng could say anything, Xie Ning couldn't help but speak: "Don't Mr. Fourth think this is too much? If the person who died was Li Mengzhou, and we didn't fall down the mountain just to punish Senior Brother Lu slightly, what should Mr. Fourth think?"

Ning Haoran looked at Xie Ning and said lightly: "There is nothing fair in the world, everything has to rely on strength to speak, in the world of monks, this is even more reasonable, the Palace Sword Academy is the Five Realms Sect, and you don't fall down the mountain is just the Five Realms Sect, in terms of identity and power, the Palace Sword Academy is higher than you don't fall from the mountain, so your assumption is very problematic." ”

There is also a difference between the upper and lower sects in the Five Realms Sect, in the territory of Jiang Kingdom, there are not many Five Realms Sects, but the Five Realms Upper Sect is very rare, except for the supreme status of the state religion of Pear Blossom Academy, there are only two Five Realms Sects in the entire Jiang Kingdom.

One of them is the Star Picking Mansion.

The second is the Imperial Sword Temple.

Although Pujia Yuan and Buluo Mountain are among the best existences in the Five Realms Sect in Jiang Kingdom, they are still not comparable to the Star Picking Mansion and the Ligong Sword Academy.

It's just that because there are very few disciples in the Palace Sword Academy, it is gradually declining and living up to the reputation of the Five Realms Sect, but as long as Xue Wangwu is still alive, the Palace Sword Academy will always be one of the cultivation mountain gates at the peak of Jiang Guo.

Xie Ning was once again confused by Ning Haoran.

It's really uncomfortable to face this kind of unreasonable person, obviously there are a lot of things I want to say, but I can't say it, and I am very aggrieved.

Mu Nan suddenly smiled at this time and said: "The monk world respects strength, and Mr. Four's words are not wrong, but Li Mengzhou killed Lu Changge in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, and there is also a suspicion of murdering Zhu Shilang, and there is conclusive evidence of the death of Zhang Chong, a general of the military department, so it cannot be simply attributed to the matter between monks." ”

Ning Haoran said expressionlessly: "My junior brother just admitted that he killed Lu Changge in the prison of Xuanzheng Division, why is there a suspicion of murdering Zhu Shilang?

He is resolute and will carry out his unreasonableness to the end.

This matter is indeed a bit difficult to say, although everyone can clearly understand what Li Mengzhou did, but the original evidence is indeed all pointing to Lu Changge, and now that Lu Changge is dead, it is normal to reasonably suspect Li Mengzhou, but it is difficult to really come up with any evidence.

Li Mengzhou personally admitted that he only killed Lu Changge, and kept silent about the murder of Zhu Shilang, even if he knew very well in his heart that Li Mengzhou was the real murderer, he couldn't help him.

Since Xuanzheng Si can't come up with evidence, then it's just a matter between the Sword Courtyard of the Palace and the Mountain, and Mu Nan is not qualified to intervene in it anymore.

But this is obviously not the result that Mu Nan is willing to see, he looked at Ning Haoran with a solemn face and said: "Mr. Fourth is so strong, it is difficult to stand, even if I can't get evidence that Li Mengzhou murdered Zhu Shilang, but he has a lot of suspicion after all, Xuanzheng Division is qualified to inquire, and even let Li Mengzhou cooperate with the investigation, with His Majesty's golden jade plate, the Palace Sword Academy can't refuse." ”

He Zhengrong, who had been watching from the side, came to Shen Jiyue's side at this time and whispered, "What is that gold-lettered jade plate?"

Although He Men was a prominent family in the past, his position in the court was not very high, and He Zhengrong, as a concubine, was born when He Men was in decline, and he knew the height of the temple even better than that of ordinary people.

Shen Jiyue's family is also a big family in Tongzhou, although it is not as good as the Ye clan, the richest man in Jiang State, but it is also standing in a very high position of the pyramid, whether it is the court or the cultivation world, there is a lot of understanding and even contact, she briefly explained to He Zhengrong the role of the golden jade plate, and then said worriedly: "Mu Nan has a golden jade card in his hand, I'm afraid even the fourth senior brother can't say anything, if he openly says some nonsense, it is a great crime of disrespect to His Majesty." ”

Ye Jinyu frowned slightly and said: "Originally, Li Mengzhou didn't take care of it, he wanted to turn a big thing into a big thing, and a small thing into nothing, unless the teacher came forward in person, otherwise just that golden jade plate was enough to block all retreats." ”

Jiang Zihua has been silent, he secretly thought, Li Mengzhou is more noisy than himself, how can the people in the capital be killed casually, it is really running over on the street, most of the people he bumped into may have a big identity background, not to mention Zhu Zaitian and Lu Changge, who have a strong background like Zhu Zaitian and Lu Changge.

Compared with Lu Changge's identity, Zhu Zaitian's squire of the Xuanzheng Division has no background, but after all, he is still the squire of the Xuanzheng Division, and even if the Xuanzheng Division does not know how to play with his life, he will definitely not give up.

Xu Hexian, who is in charge of the entire Xuan Zheng Division, how can he ignore the dead squire, that is a provocation to the Xuan Zheng Division, and it is also a provocation to Xu Hexian, if he doesn't do something, where will Xu Hexian's face go?

Ning Haoran's expression also became a little uncomfortable, he could be quite unreasonable about other things, but seeing the golden jade plate was equivalent to meeting His Majesty the Emperor in person, if he chose to ignore it, it would be a blatant slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

If you can push out the Xuan Zheng Division, it is relatively much easier to solve the problem between the Sword Courtyard of the Palace and the Mountain of Non-Falling, but looking at this situation, it is difficult for the Xuan Zheng Division, who is already in the bureau, to push it out easily.

Just when the courtyard fell silent again, the sound of wheels rolling sounded outside the courtyard wall, and there was also the chirping of horses, and a black carriage stopped steadily outside the gate of the small courtyard in Chaosi Lane.

The curtain of the car was opened, and an old man in a green shirt slowly walked down, he was holding a wine jug in his hand, and he walked leisurely over the threshold under his feet, and the crowded people in the courtyard inexplicably gave way to a road, judging from their somewhat surprised expressions, it was obvious that they did not take the initiative to give way.

Most of the people standing near the gate of the courtyard were the armor of the Xuanzheng Division and the disciples who did not fall from the mountain, and it was obvious that the old man in the green shirt just walked forward casually, and did not deliberately squeeze inside, but he easily came to the center of the small courtyard.
