11. Xiang Chen was punished
Xiang Chen was punished
After Xiang Chen came to the room, Shen Yu asked, "Xiang Chen, what's the matter?"
He took a deep breath and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's nothing." ”
"Brother Chen, you don't want to lie to me, your face is wrong from the moment you enter the door, what happened?" Lin Xue had already seen that Xiang Chen was holding his breath.
Seeing Lin Xue's worried face, Xiang Chen sighed helplessly and told everyone what had happened.
After hearing what Xiang Chen said, several people were silent, and Shen Yu said angrily: "These bastards! If we want to harm the bastard son of his Ma family, we can take his life in the blink of an eye, do we still need to pretend to be robbers? What else do you say to indulge the big demon, Xiang Chen was injured in the left arm of the fire vulture, are they all blind?"
Mu Xiaoyun also shouted: "These people are so shameless! We helped them, but they in turn framed Senior Brother Xiang Chen, I will go to the surname Ma to settle the score!"
"Senior Sister Xiaoyun, don't mess around, blame me for being too reckless in this matter, you don't have to worry, my master is an elder deacon of the Law Enforcement Palace, I believe he will be able to return my innocence, and Senior Brother Lu has not acted on behalf of the elders to convict me. ”
Xiang Chen said sullenly, then looked at the silent Lin Xue and said in a low voice: "Xue'er, I'm sorry, I promised you not to be rash again." ”
Lin Xue couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at Xiang Chen at this time, she knew the seriousness of this matter, not to mention that Xiang Chen's master was Lei Gang, who had a hotter temper than him.
"Brother Chen, it's not your fault, I believe in you. She smiled and took Xiang Chen's hand, no one knew Xiang Chen's helplessness at the moment better than her, and she never felt that Xiang Chen was a reckless person, maybe it was because of this that she chose Xiang Chen back then, instead of the seemingly gentle little prince.
Lu Xuanji, who left the main hall, followed Ma Ping straight to the room where Shen Yu and them were resting, and when he saw the city guard in front of the door, he frowned, and asked, "What are you doing here?
One of the city guards was about to answer, but after seeing Ma Ping nodding, he left with the rest of the people.
Lu Xuanji entered the room and glanced at Xiang Chen, and said to everyone: "You go back to the Star Picking Courtyard with me first." ”
Several people walked out of the room angrily, and Ma Ping said in the back: "It's late at night, please rest in the house for one night first, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow morning." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have something to do, so I won't disturb your Ma family. ”
"Since Brother Xuanji has something important to do, he will not be far away, and as for the villains in your court, please ask a few elders to discipline them well. ”
Lu Xuanji turned around and said lightly: "This is a matter of the Star Picking Academy, don't bother with Young Master Ma." ”
Then he left Deyi Mansion with everyone. Ma Ping looked at the backs of several people leaving, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile, and soon turned around and went home.
Since it was late at night, and after another night, the few people found an inn in the city to stay, and did not set off for the Star Picking Courtyard until the next morning.
Shen Yu and the others were silent all the way, and Mu Xiaoyun, who had always been happy, also clenched his fists angrily.
"Senior Brother Lu, we can testify to Xiang Chen's matter, it is by no means what they said. Shen Yu said after a while.
"Don't you know the relationship between the Deyi Houfu and the imperial family of the imperial capital? Besides, Xiang Chen did violate the rules of the academy, and the city guards witnessed it with their own eyes, even if the academy wanted to suppress it, it might not be able to suppress it. ”
Xiang Chen wanted to argue after hearing this, but Lin Xue kept holding his hand and signaling him not to speak.
Shen Yu asked rhetorically, "But is what they said the truth?" Even if Xiang Chen pretended to be a robber and blocked the way of the Ma family's son, he didn't use demon hunting techniques, did he?"
"Okay, you don't need to say it anymore, I will truthfully report the incident to Elder Lei Gang of the Law Enforcement Palace, Senior Brother Xiang is his disciple, I don't think he will be too embarrassed to Senior Brother. ”
Lu Xuanji interrupted Shen Yu's words, staring at the front and said. Mu Xiaoyun glared at him dissatisfiedly after seeing Lu Xuanji say this.
In less than a day, several people had already arrived in front of the Hunting Pavilion of the Star Picking Courtyard.
"Alright, you guys go and hand in the mission first. After Lu Xuanji finished speaking to Shen Yu and the others, he and Yan Feng left the Hunting Pavilion.
Shen Yu handed over the task in the Hunting Pavilion and walked towards their residence sullenly.
After walking for a while, Xiang Chen said, "You guys go back first, don't worry about me, I'll tell you when the master finds out." ”
Shen Yu nodded, and left with Liu Ziqi and Mu Xiaoyun first, only Lin Xue stayed.
"Brother Chen, I'll stay with you for a while. She took Xiang Chen's hand and said softly.
Xiang Chen suddenly smiled, looked at Lin Xue with a relaxed face, and said, "Xue'er, it's okay, it's not a big deal, don't worry." ”
Lin Xue looked at him and said softly but firmly: "If you can't be a demon hunter, I will destroy the Ma family first and leave the imperial capital with you." ”
Xiang Chen pinched Lin Xue's face, and said with a smile: "How can it be so serious, my master said that I was born to be a demon hunter, Xue'er is good, don't think about it." ”
Lin Xue smiled and nodded, leaned her head on Xiang Chen's shoulder, and held his hand tightly, she didn't say nonsense, if Xiang Chen really couldn't be a demon hunter, she would be the first to destroy the Ma family, although then she would no longer be a demon hunter, and would even be wanted by the entire empire.
At this time, Shen Yu, who had not left Xiang Chen for a short time, did not return to the residence in the courtyard, but walked straight towards the Sword Pavilion.
Mu Xiaoyun asked, "Brother Shen Yu, where are you going?"
"Sword Pavilion, I'll go find Shizun. Shen Yu didn't look back, and replied as he walked.
"Shen Yu!" Liu Ziqi stopped Shen Yu.
"Be sure to let Elder Chu Qing help Xiang Chen. ”
Shen Yu stopped, turned around and chuckled, "Well, I'll do my best, you and the little junior sister will go back first." ”
After saying that, he walked quickly towards the Sword Pavilion, and Liu Ziqi and Mu Xiaoyun also went to the Inviting Moon Palace.
In the blink of an eye, it was night, and Shen Yu didn't find Chu Qing in the Sword Pavilion, so he had been waiting outside. He didn't know that Chu Qing was also in the Law Enforcement Hall when Lu Xuanji reported Xiang Chen's incident to Lei Gang, so he stayed in the Law Enforcement Hall and did not return to the Sword Pavilion.
At this time, Xiang Chen came to the door of the Law Enforcement Hall with a nervous heart, and Lei Gang called him over not long after he found out about what happened in Chiba City.
Xiang Chen stood in front of the door and saluted loudly: "Disciple Xiang Chen, please see the master." ”
Lei Gang did not call him in, but slowly came to him with a wooden stick in his hand.
"Kneel!" Lei Gang glanced at Xiang Chen's left arm, which was wrapped around the bandage that Lin Xue insisted on tying before he came.
Boom!
The wooden stick in Lei Gang's hand slammed into Xiang Chen.
Xiang Chen lowered his head and gritted his teeth without saying a word, and a pain came from his back.
"Did I take you to the Star Picking Courtyard and teach you demon hunting techniques to let you deal with people?" Lei Gang ignored Xiang Chen, who was kneeling, and asked indifferently.
"It's not!"
Bang! Another stick smashed into Xiang Chen's back.
"Let me ask you, how will the disciples of the Star Picking Academy punish civilians with the demon hunting techniques they have learned?" Lei Gang was still indifferent.
"At the worst, he will admit his guilt and apologize, face the wall for a month, or abolish his demon hunting skills and practice from scratch!" Xiang Chen gritted his teeth.
His answer was still exchanged for Lei Gang's stick blow.
"Let me ask you again, how to punish the disciples of the Star Picking Academy who do not save them when they see death, and who ignore the big demon when they see the big demon hurting people?"
Xiang Chen was silent.
"Raise your head and answer me!" Lei Gang shouted.
Xiang Chen didn't look up, and said slowly: "Abolish his demon hunting technique and expel him from the Star Picking Academy!"
"Okay, that's right!" Lei Gang kept nodding his head while pumping the wooden stick in his hand towards Xiang Chen.
"You are really my good apprentice, you have learned to be a robber, ah? You tell me clearly, why did you pretend to be a robber to attack the second son of Deyihou, and why did you let the fire vulture hurt his life?"
At this time, Lei Gang trembled, looked at Xiang Chen, who was kneeling in front of the hall, and asked angrily.
The sharp pain in his back made Xiang Chen's already injured left arm even more painful, and the master's scolding made his eyes red.
He suddenly raised his head and said loudly to Lei Gang: "Master! Although the disciple acted hastily, he was never a narrow-minded person, how could he see a big demon hurting people and not save him when he saw death? The second son relied on his family's power to bully the people at will, this is what Shen Yu and I saw with our own eyes, the disciple just looked at him unaccustomed, and just wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect the fire vulture to suddenly appear, and before the disciple could make a move, the second son of the Ma family suddenly pushed towards the fire vulture, but he himself was scratched by the fire vulture in his left eye. If the master doesn't believe it, even if he beats the disciple to death with a stick!"
Lei Gang didn't hesitate to smash the wooden stick at Xiang Chen.
"Teach him a lesson? The second son of the Ma family can't take your turn to teach him a lesson! Not only did you admit your guilt when you made a big mistake, but you also said unashamedly that it was a lesson, and I think it was you who owed the lesson!"
"The disciple is not guilty!" Xiang Chen raised his head and stared at Lei Gang and shouted.
"Are you not guilty? The Ma family's report letter is placed in the hall, could it be that Lu Xuanji picked it up on the road? Or does that city guard have a grudge against you and deliberately harm you?" Lei Gang stared at Xiang Chen coldly and scolded.
"I'll let you be innocent, let you teach others a lesson!" he said as he swung his stick at Chen.
Suddenly, the wooden stick he smashed down stopped in the air again, Xiang Chen looked up, and found that Lin Xue was standing in front of him at this moment, and Lei Gang's wooden stick was about to smash into Lin Xue's body.
"What are you doing, do you want to be punished with him?" Lei Gang looked at Lin Xue who suddenly appeared and said coldly.
Lin Xue had no fear on her face, and said calmly: "Xiang Chen is a disciple personally selected by you, Uncle Lei, and has been practicing demon hunting with you, don't you know what he is like? If Uncle Shi is afraid that you will offend the Ma family or the royal family because of this matter, then Xiang Chen and I have nothing to say, and we are willing to be punished!"
Lei Gang sneered.
If you still have me as a master in your eyes, kneel here for me to think about it until you confess your sins. ”
Then he glanced at Lin Xue and snorted coldly: "You can just accompany him and think about it!"
After that, he threw away the wooden stick in his hand and walked into the temple.
Lin Xue looked at Xiang Chen, who was kneeling on the ground and had been pumped with countless sticks, tears appeared in his eyes, and he held Xiang Chen's arm and said, "Get up, don't kneel." ”
"I don't get up, I didn't do anything wrong. Xiang Chen's eyes were red, staring at the back of Lei Gang leaving in the hall.
"Okay, then I'll kneel with you. ”
Lin Xue knelt beside Xiang Chen as he spoke, Xiang Chen looked at Lin Xue who was kneeling, unwilling but helpless, he didn't want to admit his guilt, but he didn't want Lin Xue to kneel.
"Cher, get up!" he was so anxious that he was about to stand up.
"It's okay, I said I would always be with you. Lin Xue snuggled up to Xiang Chen's body and said softly.
"Brother Chen, it's actually good that this is good, you don't accompany me to see the starry sky at night, and now you finally can't run away. She looked up at the starry night sky with a happy smile on her face.
Xiang Chen just kept sighing, Lin Xue was by his side, there was no resentment in his heart, replaced by self-blame and guilt, if he was no longer so impulsive, if he could ignore those who were tyrannical, Lin Xue would not kneel here with him.
At this time, in the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Qing looked at Lei Gang with an angry face and said, "Are you too heavy?" ”
Lei Gang shouted loudly: "I don't take it seriously, this kid doesn't know how much trouble he is going to cause me, I'm saving his life like this!"
"Xiang Chen's personality is too strong, he can pretend to be a robber and teach people, but he is an honest and cheerful person, do you really believe those facts as Lu Xuanji said?"
"Of course I don't believe that Xiang Chen would do such a thing, but the Ma family's letter is here, and they have also found eyewitnesses, if I ignore this matter, then how can the Ma family give up?"
Chu Qing smiled lightly and said thoughtfully: "Ma Tianen is nothing more than because Xiang Chen offended and humiliated the second son of the Ma family, and his beloved son was injured in his left eye before he hated Xiang Chen, and colluded with the city guards to frame him, as long as Xiang Chen can apologize and confess, so that the Ma family feels that they have regained face, I think they will also give the academy a face, and they will no longer be too embarrassed by Xiang Chen." ”
"Alas, I have also dealt with Ma Tianen, who is a narrow-minded villain, and if he gives some face, he doesn't know whose name he is, so it is not easy for him to let go of Xiang Chen. ”
Lei Gang sighed and took out a medicine bottle from his body.
"This is the five spirit dew that I spent a lot of energy and precious medicinal materials to find Jiang Yan to refine, which can cure the eyes of the son of the Ma family, I thought that the kid would have an accident in the future and give it to him, but I didn't think that this loser's thing would be reimbursed to the villain at once. ”
Chu Qing smiled and said, "Hehe, you really still like this apprentice, Wulinglu is willing to take it out." ”
Lei Gang looked at the direction outside the hall and said slowly: "This guy is like when I was young, but I don't want him to follow my old path, when he kneels enough, and the reflection is almost over, let him take the medicine to the Ma family to apologize, even if he kowtows, he has to kowtow to me honestly." ”
"No, with Xiang Chen's temperament, even if you kill him, he won't go to Ma's house to admit his mistake, I have a good candidate to do this for Xiang Chen. ”
"Oh, who is it?" Lei's brow furrowed again.
Chu Qing smiled proudly: "It's not early, I think he has been waiting for me for a long time, don't let Xiang Chen kneel for too long." ”
With that, he left the Law Enforcement Hall through the side door and walked towards the Sword Pavilion, leaving behind Lei Gang with a suspicious face.
