Lu Yuchi sent many Changchun Sect disciples to investigate, and after many days of investigation, they finally had some clues and discovered the location of the Holy Intention Gate. So he sent someone to inform the rest of the people in the five veins.

The news received was that Ji Xuan, the valley master of the Flame Valley, had already led the people to dare to go.

Meng Qifei, the head of the Canglan faction, definitely took Meng Ruyi and the people to the suburbs of Beijing to settle accounts with the Holy Will.

Jingcong, the master of the King Kong Hall, sent his disciples Tong Zhan and Mo Huang to lead the people there.

Kun Yuanzong also sent his disciples Liu Hao and Bian Xiaoxiao to take the disciples there.

Lu Yuchi also decided to personally lead the people to the sect and let Elder Li Zhen sit in the Changchun Sect.

The day after Ji Hongxiu left, the Criminal Department began to interrogate Zhuo Yi. The chief judge of the arraignment is Song Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the deputy judge is Ning Zeyi, a Shilang of the Criminal Department. Uncle Lian Zhen actually came to listen.

Song Fang ordered Zhuo Yi to be escorted to the court, and then asked in shock: "Who is in the hall?" ”

Zhuo Yi said: "Zhuo Yi. ”

Song Fang asked, "Zhuo Yi, is the person on this wanted warrant you?" he said and took out a wanted warrant, and the portrait on it was Zhuo Yi.

Zhuo Yi nodded and said, "It's me." ”

"The person who killed the Xunyang County Commander is also you and your friend?"

"No, I'm the only one who killed Xunyang County. ”

"But it wasn't you who were seen killing that day. Come on, witness. Song Fang shouted.

After a while, several officials came in with two men dressed in the clothes of the head-catchers. The two fell to their knees to meet the two presiding judges.

Song Fang asked, "What are your two names, where is your home, and what are your positions?" ”

The two scrambled to answer. Song Fang slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Shut up, come one by one." Then he pointed to the one on the left and said, "You go first." ”

The man immediately said: "The villain Liao Zhiwei lives in Xunyang County, and he is a fast catcher in Xunyang County." ”

Another person also said: "The villain Liu Zhigang lives in Xunyang County, and he is also a fast catcher in Xunyang County." ”

Song Fang nodded and asked, "You two look back, you can know this person." ”

The two looked at Zhuo Yi, and then said in horror: "The villain knows, this is the person, it was this person and his accomplices who killed the county commander." ”

"Did he kill it or did his accomplices kill it?" Song Fang asked.

The two thought for a while, and one of them said, "It was he who restrained the county commander, and then his accomplices killed him." ”

"Are you sure?"

"The villain is sure. The two said at the same time.

Song Fang looked at Zhuo Yi and asked, "Zhuo Yi, what else do you have to say?"

"It doesn't matter if there are witnesses, I say it's me and it's me. Zhuo Yi didn't want to say too much about this matter.

"Presumptuous, how can it be child's play in the public court? This official has always been fair and honest, one is one, two is two, how can you let it talk nonsense. You'd better be truthful. Song Fang shouted.

Zhuo Yi looked at him and said, "I said it, I killed it." ”

Song Fang was a little helpless, and he didn't know what to do.

Lian Zhen said loudly: "Lord Song, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, you usually try cases like this? If this prisoner doesn't tell the truth, you will be helpless?"

Ning Zeyi said: "Is this going to be tortured?"

Song Fang was also a little undecided, and said, "Is this to explain to Your Majesty?" ”

Lian Zhen said: "Your Majesty has every opportunity to hand over the Criminal Department to you to take care of, but you went to disturb Your Majesty for such a small matter." What do you think Your Majesty will think? Your Majesty may feel that the ability of the Criminal Department Shangshu is not enough. ”

When Song Fang heard this, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and then looked at Zhuo Yi and said, "Zhuo Yi, you'd better recruit it truthfully, otherwise this official will be tortured." ”

Zhuo Yi smiled disdainfully.

Song Fang saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and said, "Someone will send him down and beat him twice...", as soon as he said this, Lian Zhen coughed. He glanced at Lian Zhen and said, "Fifty boards." ”

The two officials held down Zhuo Yi, and the other two started to fight with a killing stick in their hands. The long stick hit Zhuo Yi's body, crackling, but Zhuo Yi's face did not change at all, as if it was not hitting him at all.

Lian Zhen said loudly: "This person in the rivers and lakes, protect himself with internal strength, it is useless for him to fight like this." How good are you at interrogating prisoners in prison?"

Song Fang looked at a few officials and said, "Stop first, and after a while, fight again from the beginning." ”

Song Fang glanced at Ning Zeyi, and Ning Zeyi shouted, "Go and call Huang Ying over." ”

Huang Ying is a cool official who supervises the prison cells of the Criminal Department, his methods are ruthless, and there is no one who will not recruit prisoners who pass through his hands. Of course, it doesn't matter if the prisoner did it or not, the most important thing is to confess.

It didn't take long for the Yellow Eagle to arrive, this person had a long sharp-beaked monkey gills, and his face obviously showed a fierce aura.

Ning Zeyi said to him: "You go and see if he uses internal strength to protect himself." ”

Huang Ying nodded, came to Zhuo Yi's face, and suddenly stretched out his hand and continuously pointed at his three acupuncture points of Qi Sea, Yin Jiao, and Shenque.

Zhuo Yi soon felt that there was a cold qi swirling in his three acupuncture points, sealing his internal force.

Huang Ying looked at Song Fang and said, "My lord, it's okay." ”

Song Fang nodded and said, "I've fought again." ”

The four officials began to carry out executions anew. This time, Zhuo Yi had no internal strength to protect himself, and the sticks were all hit on his body, but he felt that the place where he was beaten hurt badly, and his skin and flesh had already opened after a while. He gritted his teeth, sweating profusely on his forehead and his face flushed.

After fifty sticks, Song Fang looked at Zhuo Yi and asked, "Do you say it or not?"

Zhuo Yi said: "I said, I killed it." ”

Song Fang and Ning Zeyi were helpless, and it was not good to increase the criminal law, and then postponed the retrial, and reported the results of the interrogation to the emperor.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhao said angrily: "Since he wants to die so much, then fulfill him." ”

Song Fang heard it and understood.

The next day, news came out that three days later, the murderer who killed the Xunyang County Order was executed.

Kong Chao sneaked into the capital with Da Niu, and he tried his best to arrange Da Niu in Zhuo's mansion, but he turned around and left.

Ji Hongxiu hurried all the way back, and after just two days of traveling, he met several disciples of Flame Valley who were heading towards the capital, and the leader was Liu Wei.

She hurriedly stopped her horse and asked, "Senior Brother Liu, where are you going?"

Liu Wei saw that it was Ji Hongxiu and said, "Senior Sister Ji, why are you here? Didn't you receive the news?" The valley lord ordered all the disciples of the Flame Valley who were outside to rush to the capital, saying that there was a sect of the Holy Intention Sect in the capital that had arrested Senior Brother and Senior Brother Deng, and asked the valley lord to take things and replace them. ”

Ji Hongxiu was stunned for a moment and said, "My father already knows, then I don't have to run again." ”

She said to Liu Wei: "Senior Brother Liu, then I'll go to the capital first, you guys hurry up." ”

After speaking, he headed towards the capital.

Two days later, Zhuo Yi came out of prison for unknown reasons and returned home. Zhuo's mother looked at Zhuo Yi, who was covered in injuries, and she was distressed with tears.

On the third day, Zhuo Yi was in better spirits, looked at a maid who gave him medicine and asked, "Little Peach, how did I get out?"

"Ah, Childe was released. Xiao Tao said strangely.

"I mean, why did they let me go?" asked Zhuo Yi.

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "I don't know about this." ”

"Is there anything going on outside these days?" Zhuo Yi thought for a while and asked again.

"Well, I heard that the murderer of the county order will be executed today. Xiao Tao said casually.

"What?" Zhuo Yi was startled, and Meng Ran turned over and sat up. Then he grinned in pain, but still asked, "When will it be beheaded?"

Xiao Tao was startled, a little unclear. But he said, "Noon." ”

"What time is it now?"

"Well, it's almost noon. ”

Zhuo Yi looked at Xiao Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, you go out first, I'm much better." ”

After Xiao Tao went out, Zhuo Yi got up, found a black dress to put on, and secretly sneaked out of the house and headed towards the execution ground.

Ji Hongxiu had just returned to the capital and saw that the crowd was gathering in one place, so he found someone and asked, "Eh, may I ask, what's the matter? Why are everyone heading there?"

The man said, "Today we will behead a criminal who killed the county commander, everyone will go and see it." ”

Ji Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, then became worried, and whispered to herself: "Senior Brother Zhuo." ”

She hurried to the place where the crowd was gathering, and because there were so many people, she had to jump onto the roof with a light effort. When he was still sixty or seventy meters away from the execution ground, he saw the executioner raise his big knife and cut off the prisoner who was kneeling on the ground with one sword.

The knife was very fast, and with a slash, the human head fell to the ground in an instant.

Ji Hongxiu looked at the falling head and shouted, "No." ”

Suddenly, she was full of energy, her clothes were flying, her hairpin was broken, her hair bun was suddenly scattered, her hair was full of green silk, her eyes were red, she held a long whip, tears slipped down her eyes, and the whole person floated into the air, as if she had fallen into a demon, looking at the people in the execution ground, her voice was cold and angry, and she said: "I want to kill you." After speaking, his footsteps drifted towards the execution ground.

The executioner had long been worried that someone would rob the prison, so he arranged for many officers and soldiers to defend it.

When the officers and soldiers saw Ji Hongxiu coming, they hurriedly drew their bows and shot arrows. The rain of arrows shot towards Ji Hongxiu.

Ji Hongxiu danced the long whip, and the long whip danced in a circle, from far to near, sweeping away all the arrows that were shot. Her footsteps landed in the middle of the execution ground, and with a wave of her whip, she knocked all the officers and soldiers who surrounded her into the air. Then another whip came down from the top and struck the executioner on the head.

The executioner had a blood-red whip mark on the top of his head and face until the tip of his nose, and then he stared and rolled his eyes and died.

Ji Hongxiu's whip was very fast, and it was another whip that was whipped towards Song Fang, the executioner who was sitting on the high platform.

Zhao Yan, the commander of the guards in charge of the security of the capital, was a middle-aged man, with a slight beard on both sides of his cheeks, and short spikes growing on the sides of his face.

Zhao Yan didn't expect that the beautiful girl who suddenly appeared in the execution ground had such a strong martial arts, and she beat his subordinates away with just one face, and killed a person.

Zhao Yan saw that the girl was whipping at Lord Shangshu again, grabbed Shangshu Song Fang and pulled it to the side, and directly took Song Fang aside.

As soon as Song Fang left the chair, the whip struck the chair, directly breaking the chair. Song Fang looked at the broken chair in front of him, stunned, and his heart was pounding.

Ning Zeyi sat next to Song Fang, and when he saw that the whip almost hit his eyes, he was so frightened that he retreated sharply, and fell to the ground along with the chair. He hurriedly rolled to the side, crawling on all fours into the distance, like a rat with his head in his hands.

Zhao Yan pulled out the big knife hanging from his waist and shouted: "Protect the adults and retreat." ”

He rushed towards Ji Hongxiu with a knife.

Ji Hongxiu waved his hand and whipped it sideways towards Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan's knife face was blocked, just on the tip of the whip. His knife face was slightly oblique, and he unloaded his strength. rushed towards Ji Hongxiu at a faster speed, slashing with a knife, full of knife momentum, without the slightest pity for the jade.

Ji Hongxiu hurriedly retracted the whip and used the dragon to protect himself.

Zhao Yan slashed with a big knife, but in just a few breaths, he slashed out thirty-six knives. But it still didn't break through Ji Hongxiu's defense.

Seeing that the ordinary knife technique was difficult to take effect, Zhao Yan suddenly jumped backwards, and then shouted "ah": "The river is broken", and he cut it down with a knife.

Zhuo Yi dared to come, only to see a huge sword falling from the sky and slashing towards Ji Hongxiu.

The sword slammed into Ji Hongxiu's dragon talisman realm, and it was shocked and scattered. But Ji Hongxiu was also bombarded and flew out.

Zhuo Yi showed his skills, and then Ji Hongxiu, who was still in the air. Ji Hongxiu spat blood and fainted.

Zhao Yan didn't want to let Ji Hongxiu go, such a big thing happened in the execution ground, if he was still run away, he couldn't deal with it. So he jumped up and slashed at Zhuo Yi again.

Zhuo Yi saw that Ji Hongxiu was injured and fainted, he was very angry, and he couldn't hide it, and he slapped Zhao Yan with a vajra palm.

King Kong's palm power roared out, growing in the wind, heading towards Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yanren slashed at the whistling palm print in the air, and with a bang, the big knife broke and flew away into fragments. Zhao Yan's whole person was blasted into a wall, his five internal organs were damaged, his seven orifices were bleeding, panting, although he was not dead, he couldn't move.

This is still Zhuo Yi knows him, and he will end up with his hand, otherwise he will be slapped to death with one palm.

Zhuo Yi hugged Ji Hongxiu and quickly disappeared into the street, and he walked into several courtyards before finally secretly returning to Zhuo's mansion.

He probed Ji Hongxiu's injuries and hurriedly used his internal force to heal her. After her injuries stabilized, she was put on the bed to rest.

Ji Hongxiu woke up slowly, looked at Zhuo Yi who was dozing off on the side, was startled at first, touched herself, felt that she was still alive, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhuo, are you not dead?"

Zhuo Yi was awakened by her, and when she saw her crying, she didn't know what to do. said: "Senior sister, don't cry, I'm not fine?"

Ji Hongxiu wanted to hit him a few times, but as soon as he raised his hand, he made an "ouch" on his chest.

Zhuo Yi said, "Senior sister, what are you going to do?"

Ji Hongxiu glared at him and asked, "Since you're fine, who is the person who was killed at the execution ground?"

Zhuo Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I thought it was one of you, and it scared me to death." Senior sister, why are you alone? Senior brother, what about them?"

Speaking of this, Ji Hongxiu was depressed, tears burst into tears, and said, "Senior Brother and Senior Brother Deng have been arrested?"

"Where were you arrested?" Zhuo Yi said urgently.

"It's not that we were arrested by the imperial court, but by people who ambushed us before. ”

"The people who ambushed us, do you mean the group on the Changchun Sect Mountain?"

Ji Hongxiu nodded.

Zhuo Yi said: "Then where were they caught?"

"Just outside the city, in a cave. Don't be impulsive, Senior Brother and Senior Brother Deng have been arrested. My dad already knows about it and is coming. Ji Hongxiu said.

Zhuo Yi said: "They have other purposes for arresting Senior Brother, right?"

Ji Hongxiu said: "I don't know either. ”

"Before, on the Changchun Sect Mountain, that group of people went to the Changchun Sect's palm tokens and cheats. If I'm not mistaken, this time they have the same purpose. Zhuo Yi said.

Ji Hongxiu asked: "Then what is the purpose of these two things? The cheats are understandable, but what do they want to do with the tokens of the master?"
