Chapter 11 Loyalty, Treachery, and Foolishness
Cui Xian's face changed suddenly, not because of the fire hammer on the back of his head, nor because of Rong Fei's tone full of murderous intent, but a figure who was stepping across the threshold and wearing a white robe.
It was this person's words just now that shattered his heroic spirit.
"You're... Who? ”
Cui Xian's heart beat a little fast inexplicably, but it was not because he saw the throbbing of Ji Rou's childhood, but because... Fear.
Although he had roughly guessed the identity of this person, Cui Xian still wanted to confirm it.
"The chief arrest of the Immortal Division, Yu Qingzhi."
Sure enough, it was him.
The conjecture was confirmed, and he knew that Guo Xiao would not be able to take it away no matter what. Even so, Cui Xian was also very single, put Guo Xiao on the ground, and hugged his fist towards Yu Qingzhi.
"Mr. Shushan Gou's named disciple Longxi Cui Xian has seen Mr. Yu."
"Gou Xun's disciple, Longxi Cui's family. Hehe, what, I'm afraid of arresting you too? ”
Yu Qingzhi said with a smile.
"I know that this little bit of caution can't hide from Mr. Yu's eyes, and it makes you laugh. Guo Xiao and I are both disciples of Mr. Gou, and we have the friendship of classmates, even if I am not ashamed of what he did, because of the rules of Shushan, I can only come to the rescue, and I hope that Mr. Yu will forgive me. ”
Cui Xian explained.
"Yes, it makes sense, you're doing the right thing."
"Mr. Yu has arrested a large number of adults, and Cui Xian is grateful, so he won't bother and leave."
Cui Xian turned around with joy on his face, but his body couldn't move, and invisible pressure came from all directions, making it a little difficult for him to breathe.
This is... Haoran Qi, and it is a few grades higher than what he has cultivated?
Cui Xian was shocked, but then he realized that something was wrong.
Haoran was calm in his breath, but at this moment, there was a fierce and violent force in the invisible energy that suppressed himself.
After calming down and thinking about it for a while, Cui Xian thought of a rumor.
It is said that 800 years ago, the god catcher learned from the strengths of many families to create his own god hunting formula, which is characterized by the fact that it can imitate the exercises and moves of various schools of practice, and it is said that the way of the other is to give back to the other.
And the trick of catching gods is the practice of the Immortal Division.
Yu Qingzhi is the chief arrester of the Immortal Division, and it is not surprising to use the Divine Capture Technique to imitate and display Haoran Qi.
"How is it, little guy, how does it feel to be suppressed by Haoran Qi?"
Yu Qingzhi asked with a smile.
"Hehe... Hehe. ”
Cui Xiao smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to answer.
"I just said you did the right thing, and that's from your point of view. But if you stand in the position of the anti-immortal division, kidnap the court people to commit one of these crimes, and rely on cultivation to bully the court officials, the other crime. If I let you go so lightly, I won't have to do it, you say.
Hehehe, although the Cui clan in Longxi is a wealthy family, they can't control my immortal division. And Gou Xun didn't tell you, do I have a grudge against him? ”
"This... This..."
When Cui Xianyan heard this, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out in his head, his eyes rolled in his sockets, and his mouth was struggling to quibble and struggle again.
"Look at the scare you and tease you. What does my grudge with your teacher have to do with you, don't worry, I won't be angry with you. ”
Cui Xian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the disaster of imprisonment could be avoided.
"But after all, you have broken the law, but you must have an account. Why don't you cut off your two fingers and the matter will be revealed, how about it? ”
"Mr. Yu is really joking when you catch you."
Cui Xian said with a dry smile.
"Shall I help you, or will you do it yourself?"
Although Yu Qingzhi still had a smile on his face, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone was even more categorical, and there was no room for negotiation.
Cui Xian shuddered with fright and hurriedly said.
"Don't work to catch me, I... I... I'll do it myself. ”
As soon as the words fell, the invisible energy disappeared immediately.
Cui Xian, who had regained his mobility, did not dare to hesitate, held the tail finger and ring finger of his left hand with his right hand, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and broke it hard.
With two crisp clicks, Cui Xian removed his right hand and exposed the two fingers that were forcibly broken and clinging to the back of his hand for Yu Qingzhi's verification.
"Eat a trench and grow wise, can you remember?"
"Remember... Remember... Finish. ”
Cui Xian gasped from between his teeth and replied with a painful expression.
"Let's go."
Yu Qingzhi waved his hand, Cui Xian scribbled and left in a hurry.
"Put this pair of shackles on Guo Xiao, and immediately escort them to Kyoto to be tried. As for Guo Muhuai, let the good students supervise it and leave it to the officials to deal with it themselves. ”
Yu Qingzhi waved his sleeves, and the handcuffs and shackles with a little silver light in the black flew out of the cuffs and landed beside Guo Xiao.
Cao Yuan and Zhang Song hurriedly said yes, but on the other side, Guo Muhuai was unwilling to sit still, and his eyes swept away the people of Fencheng who were still gathered outside the yamen, and suddenly thought about it, and shouted sadly.
"Guo went to Fencheng for four years, conscientious, diligent, and did not dare to slack off all day long. Just to live up to the emperor's grace, live up to the expectations of the people in the city, and only seek well-being for Fencheng. It's a pity that today I was framed by a traitor who wanted to take the lives of my father and son, and there was no chance for my ambition to be displayed.
However, Guo will never succumb to Yu Er and other shameless treacherous evils, even if he dies, he will leave all his blood on the land of Fencheng.
Your Majesty, you are ashamed of your grace and the love of the fathers and villagers of Fencheng. Minister... Go too! ”
After shouting, Guo Muhuai slammed into the pillar next to him, but he tripped over something under his feet, staggered and fell in front of the pillar.
After falling, Guo Muhuai didn't get up, lay on the ground and pounded the ground with his hands, howling and crying.
The onlookers in front of the yamen were moved, and the series of changes that had happened before were confused and unclear. But everyone can understand Guo County's generous statement, isn't this the drama in the big drama where traitors persecute loyal ministers.
In addition, although Guo Muhuai's county order is not clean, there has not been a single unjust case in Fencheng during his four-year tenure, which is a real merit that ordinary people can see, so he also has the title of Guo Qingtian.
Guo Qingtian's encounter suddenly aroused the righteous indignation of the people of Fencheng, and for a while, countless pairs of angry eyes glared at Yu Qingzhi viciously, and some people even waved their fists and shouted, 'Kill that traitor in white!' ’。
Someone started, the situation got out of control, and more and more people joined the ranks of cursing and insulting Yu Qingzhi. The sound shook the sky, and the tiles on the roof of the lobby were trembling, and the old ashes were falling.
It's to... The people are in turmoil!
The people on the long street were gradually at risk of losing control and attacking the yamen, Cao Yuan, Zhang Song and a group of fast arresters were frightened and pale, and their minds were thinking of finding an opportunity to flee quickly, so as not to be beaten to death by the angry people.
At the critical moment, the master Li Fengjie, who had been a guest on the side for a long time, suddenly stood up, waved his arms and shouted at the angry people of Fencheng, but he was drowned out by a huge wave of sound, and no one could hear what he was shouting.
Li Fengjie is bitter in his heart!
The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, Guo Muhuai's imprisonment is a foregone conclusion, as Guo Muhuai's most trusted master, Li Fengjie will definitely be liquidated.
The only chance to save yourself now is to immediately change sides and make meritorious deeds.
So when Cao Yuan and others were thinking about running away, Li Fengjie stood up without hesitation.
Guo Muhuai's secret deeds, no one knows better than Li Fengjie, with his appearance, he will definitely be able to win the trust of the people of Fencheng.
But the problem now is that even if Li Fengjie shouts out his throat, no one can hear what he is saying.
If others can't hear it, it doesn't mean that Yu Qingzhi can't hear it.
Guo Muhuai's hand was indeed beyond Yu Qingzhi's expectations, and he was still worried about how to calm the anger of the people, and after hearing the content of Li Fengjie's shout, he smiled slightly and was relieved.
"Silence!"
Yu Qingzhi opened his mouth and said two words, and it resounded like thunder throughout the long street, overshadowing the sound of the people of Fencheng.
The people were so frightened that they shuddered and closed their mouths, and the surging momentum disappeared in an instant.
Li Fengjie seized the opportunity, ignoring the buzzing in his ears, and shouted hoarsely.
"The contemptible person is Li Fengjie, the county master, and the contemptible person dares to testify with his life, and all the cases in Fencheng in the past four years have been solved by the head arrester Rong Fei. Guo Muhuai is a shameless person who deceives the world and steals his name, folks, don't be deceived and deceived.
In addition, there are many evidence of Guo Muhuai's corruption and abuse of power for personal gain... cough cough cough... Folks, Guo Muhuai is the biggest traitor in Fencheng. ”
"This official is the county Cheng Cao Yuan, which can prove that what Master Li said is true."
"Zhang Song, the official bookkeeper, can also prove that what Master Li said is true."
Seeing that the situation was stable, Cao Yuan and Zhang Song hurriedly jumped out to share the credit.
The people on the long street looked at each other when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Believe Master Li's words, it seems that his position is not firm enough. If you don't believe it, there is a joint guarantee between the county and the main book, and this matter can't be faked.
"Now that the truth is clear, let's all disperse."
Yu Qingzhi said in a majestic tone.
The people were in a state of great interest, shrugged their heads and gradually dispersed, and the long street was empty, and even the shops were closed with their doors closed.
Today's incident is so troublesome, how can it be so angry, blame the damned traitor Guo Muhuai for making himself ugly.
In the county government, Yu Qingzhi, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, praised Cao Yuan and Zhang Song, and explained that all the affairs of Fencheng were temporarily managed by the two, and then left with Rong Fei and Ji Rouer.
After this incident, Rong Fei and Ji Rouer returned home with a change of clothes and money, and went outside the city to burn some paper money ingots in front of Liu Yong and Qi Xiutai's graves to say goodbye, and then embarked on the road to Dayan Kyoto.
A few miles away from the city, Rong Fei stopped and turned around, looking back at the Fencheng city wall that had become blurred, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Farewell - Fencheng!
After walking for a few miles, Yu Qingzhi took the two of them down the official road and turned into the woods next to the road.
There was no ready-made road in the woods, and after the three of them walked through the forest for a distance, Ji Rouer quietly pulled Rong Fei's sleeve, showing a worried look in her eyes.
Rong Fei shook his head with a smile and patted Ji Rou'er's hand to say that there was no need to worry.
Ji Rouer was worried that Yu Qingzhi would have a plan to bring the two of them to a deserted and uninhabited place. But Rong Fei knew that with Yu Qingzhi's ability, if he wanted to kill the two of them, it would not take more effort than crushing two ants to death.
The three of them soon came to a mountain wall, and Yu Qingzhi lifted the vines hanging from the mountain wall, revealing a half-human-high hole.
Yu Qingzhi bent down and entered the cave first, Rong Fei and Ji Rou'er glanced at each other, grabbed each other's palms and followed.
The vines outside drooped, and the cave immediately became dimly lit.
Yu Qingzhi took out a glowing bead from his sleeve, and the cave suddenly became as bright as day.
Could this be the legendary pearl of the night?
Rong Fei secretly guessed in his heart.
Yu Qingzhi led the way in front with the Night Pearl, and the two accompanied behind. The cave was extremely deep and winding, and the three of them walked around for almost half an hour.
The more Ji Rou'er walked, the more frightened she became, her body began to tremble slightly, and she took out a firearm from Rong Fei's waist and hid it in her sleeve before she calmed down a little.
"Here we are."
At this time, Yu Qingzhi suddenly stopped, and after saying to the two, he raised his hand and pushed the wall of the cave above his head, revealing a circular exit.
Coming out of the exit, Rong Fei found that the three of them were in a private house, and walked to the window and looked out through the gap and felt that the scenery was somewhat familiar.
Carefully recalling the route he had taken in the cave, Rong Fei looked at Yu Qingzhi in surprise and asked.
"This is Fencheng?"
The three of them went around and around and returned to Fencheng.
"Too many people see me as a thorn in the side and want to kill quickly, so I have to be careful."
Yu Qingzhi put away the Night Pearl and explained.
Then let Rong Fei and Ji Rou'er go to the corner of the room and stand still, waving their robe sleeves towards the ground, and the dirt floor gradually blurred to reveal its original appearance.
A seven-foot square bluestone slab depicted with intricate patterns.
The three of them stood on the stone slab, Yu Qingzhi took out a mottled and simple sheathed waist knife from his sleeve and inserted it into the flat hole in the center of the stone slab, and the lines carved on the bluestone slab immediately emitted a bright light to envelop the three of them.
The dazzling light made Rong Fei and Ji Rou'er have to close their eyes, and when they noticed that the light had dissipated, when they opened their eyes again, they found that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
Although it is still in a room, the material style of the doors and windows and the various furnishings in the room are full of luxury and wealth.
"The palace is heavily guarded, don't move around at will, remember."
Yu Qingzhi said after retracting the ancient waist knife into his sleeve.
"Ah, this is the palace?"
Ji Rou'er asked in disbelief with wide eyes.
Fencheng and Kyoto are 3,000 miles apart, and it is really incredible that they can be reached in the blink of an eye.
"The teleportation circle is a thousand miles away, and it's an ordinary thing."
Yu Qingzhi replied a little proudly.
But Rong Fei clearly saw a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and his face was a little paler than before.
Obviously, using the teleportation circle is not as ordinary and easy as Yu Qingzhi said.
Thinking of this, Rong Fei's heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked.
"Brother Yu is in such a hurry to return to Kyoto, is it imminent to find the jade seal?"
"Well, it's in a hurry, and I need to find it before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. But don't be too stressed, just do your best. ”
Yu Qingzhi said with a smile.
"What day is the Celestial Ceremony?"
"At noon on the ninth day of September, it officially began."
"Sister Rou, what time is it today?"
Rong Fei's body shook for a moment, and he pulled Ji Rou'er and asked.
"Hmm... It seems to be the seventh day of the first month. ”
