Chapter 120: Dragon's Scales
Cultivators pursue the way of heaven and have a long life and great strength. Most of them are determined, cold, and even brutal and murderous.
But no matter how angry a cultivator is, there is a soft place in their hearts.
Most of their relatives and friends are mortals, and they have only a few decades of life. Family and friends are the care of the soft place in their hearts.
If someone coerces the relatives and friends of a cultivator, if they are discovered, they will definitely cause public anger.
Relatives are the reverse scales of the cultivators. If anyone dares to openly expose the dragon's scales, they will face crazy revenge.
Shen Chong nodded cautiously: "I dare to vouch for my life, this matter is in the hands of Jiao Can personally told me." ”
Shen Chong's words made the cultivators in the field cautious.
"Shen Chong, tell me, who coerced Jiao Can's wife and children?" Fu Tianxing asked in a deep voice.
Shen Chong shook his head: "I don't know about this." I guess Jiao Can himself doesn't know, he only told me that the person who coerced his wife and children wanted him to take my life. He had no choice but to make a move on me. ”
Hearing his words, Fu Tianxing, Yin Chuan, Xiahou Ningning and several others believed Shen Chong in their hearts.
After all, Shen Chong had sworn just now. Now, it is consistent with the content of the oath, and with the constraints of the oath, he is naturally not afraid of him opening his mouth.
But who would be so bold as to dare to take Jiao Can's wife and children at the risk of taboos, and use this to threaten Jiao Can to kill Shen Chong!?
Shen Chong has only been in Emperor Yan City for a few days, even if he can get into trouble again, how many people can he offend!?
For a while, everyone in the audience thought a lot, and the identity of the murderer was almost about to be revealed.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire Nine Xuan Hall became a little dull and weird.
At this moment, suddenly a guard walked to the main hall and reported directly: "Lord of the State, Lord Commander, at the door of the Qingdao Immortal Palace leading to the Jiuxuan Palace, Lord Xu Tianjun is taking Lord Jiao Can's wife and children to ask to see him." ”
As soon as the guard's words came out, the people in the audience immediately widened their eyes and looked directly at the door in the direction of the Qingdao Immortal Mansion.
"Big brother, has he succeeded!" Shen Chong's heart also swelled with ecstasy.
Among the people in the audience, only Xu Bing and Xu Ling's faces were not very good-looking.
Xu Bing couldn't see anything special on his face because of the illusion technique that changed his appearance.
The muscles on Xu Ling's face twitched a few times unconsciously, and he anxiously transmitted a message to Xu Bing: "Eldest sister, what should we do now!? We hid it so well, and we also laid a ban on the outside of that farmhouse, how did Xu Tianjun find it? Could it be that some of those subordinates betrayed us?"
"What's the hurry!" Xu Bing replied with an expressionless voice: "Since Jiao Can's wife and children have been found, what's the use of talking so much at this moment." Not to mention ......"
Saying this, Xu Bing turned his head to look at Xu Ling slightly, and the coldness in his eyes skyrocketed: "We need to investigate, is it Xu Tianjun's luck to find this or is it someone under him who found this?"
"Eldest sister, what do you mean ......" Xu Ling understood a little.
Xu Bing smiled coldly and said, "Without full evidence, no one can help us." ”
Xu Ling's heart was settled, and he immediately glanced at one of the group of guards standing outside the round seat.
The guard understood, nodding slightly.
"Bring them up. Xiahou Zhiyuan ordered to the guards who were informed.
"Yes!" the guard immediately ordered.
At the same time, the guard who received Xu Ling's eyes also came out, and together with the guard, walked to the gate of the Qingdao Immortal Mansion leading to the Nine Xuan Palace, and the two first cast an open handprint, and then worked together to slowly push the closed door open.
When the door opened, all eyes were on the door.
Xu Tianjun, Jiao Can's wife, and the child walked in together.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Tianjun and the others, and naturally no one noticed that one of the two guards who opened the door just now had quietly slipped out of the door of the main hall.
"Xu Tianjun greeted the Prime Minister, the Commander, and the lords of the mansion. Xu Tianjun walked to Shen Chong's side first and saluted everyone.
Jiao Can's wife was a junior cultivator in the early stage of Ning Dan, named Jian Ji. Jiao Can's son, seven or eight years old, is also a junior cultivator in the middle stage of enlightenment, named Jiao Han.
"Jian Ji took the child Jiao Han and met with all the adults. Jiao Can's wife's face had a deep look of sadness, obviously knowing Jiao Can's death.
Ying Han nodded slightly, and said softly: "Jian Ji, you must already know that your husband Jiao Can blew himself up after fighting Shen Chong. We are trying Shen Chong. But Shen Chong said that Jiao Can was forced to take Shen Chong's life because his wife and children were coerced. Is this true?"
"Sister-in-law......" Shen Chong looked at Jian Ji with a thick look of shame on his face.
Although Jiao Can didn't kill him directly, no matter what, if someone didn't want to frame him, Jiao Can's wife and children would naturally not be coerced, and Jiao Can would naturally not have no choice but to blow himself up.
Jian Ji turned his head and looked at Shen Chong calmly, although there were tears in his eyes, there was no resentment.
Then, she turned to Ying Han: "Your Excellency, earlier today, Xu Ke, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion, came to my Jiao Mansion and said that Tianjun and Shen Chong, the newly recognized brother of Tianjun, were going to hold a banquet to entertain my husband, and they had already sent someone to the Zodiac Immortal Palace to inform my husband." He, Xu Ke, made a special trip to pick me up and go to the banquet with the children. ”
Jian Ji's tone revealed a deep sadness, and he said slowly: "But after getting into Xu Ke's carriage, the carriage did not drive to Xu Mansion at all, but to the north of the city. I had a question, but Xu Ke said that he wanted to take a detour over there to do some personal business first, and at that time, I didn't think much about it, so I sat in the carriage with peace of mind. Unbeknownst to me, after arriving at a private house near Biyun Mansion in the north of the city, a person came out and cast the 'Sleeping Dragon Curse' on me and my young son, and then I fell unconscious. ”
"When I woke up, what I saw was Tianjun, and then Tianjun told me about my husband's death. At his request, I will come to this Nine Xuan Hall with him and explain the matter clearly......" Speaking of this, Jian Ji knelt down directly, and said with a sad expression: "Jiao Can was framed by thieves and died, and I hope that the Prime Minister and the Commander can uphold justice to avenge my husband's revenge." ”
Seeing his mother like this, Jiao Han also knelt down together, but the news of his father's accidental death made him suddenly mature, looking at the two above with a pair of teary eyes, but his small fists were tightly pulled: "The two adults must find the murderer who framed my father and help him avenge him." As long as you help my father avenge him, Jiao Han will work hard to cultivate, become a master, and help you kill the wicked in return. ”
Seeing Jiao Can's death, the women and children were so sad that most of the people in the audience were sad.
Ying Han immediately said softly: "Jian Ji, Han'er, you mourn. As for the murderer who framed Jiao Can, we should find out and punish him. ”
"Your Excellency Minister Xie. The mother and son bowed heavily, and then were led down by the guards.
In order to compete for resources and treasures, cultivators often fight to the death at every turn. As for the wars between countries, there are countless cultivators who have fallen. But after they die, their families will become as helpless as Jian Ji and Jiao Han.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and for a while, the atmosphere in the field seemed a little heavy.
After a while, Xiahou Zhiyuan's voice broke the silence: "According to what Jian Ji said, the cause and effect of this are all caused by Tianjun, the housekeeper of your mansion, Xu Ke, who went to Jiao Can's mansion to pick up Jiao Can's wife and children. What is your explanation for this?"
Xu Tianjun bowed down and said, "Lord Hui, Xu Ke is indeed the housekeeper of my mansion. And he has held this position for more than thirty years. But Tianjun dared to swear to the sky, and absolutely did not let Xu Ke go to pick up Jiao Can's wife and children in the name of me and Shen Chongxian's brother. According to Tianjun's guess, the reason why Xu Ke did this should be ridiculed. In this way, once Jian Ji and Han'er are discovered, the person behind the scenes can also put the responsibility on me and Shen Chongxian. ”
Xu Tianjun naturally knew who instigated Xu Ke, but out of consideration for protecting Xu Ke, he naturally couldn't say that it was Xu Ke who said that he found Jiao Can's wife and children, let alone that Xu Ke would testify for himself.
So, for the time being, he's still playing dumb. When Xu Ke arrived at the scene and said the name of the real murderer, he naturally didn't have to fear the murderer's revenge.
Because he dared to touch the family of the cultivator, that murderer had already touched the scales of these high-level people here.
Hearing this, Xiahou Zhiyuan's brows furrowed tightly: "Since you don't know that you are secretly instigating others, do you have evidence to prove that Xu Ke was not ordered by you and Shen Chong?"
Xu Tianjun bowed again: "I can confront Xu Ke face to face in this matter." ”
Xiahou Zhiyuan nodded, and then said loudly: "Where is Xu Ke?"
Fu Tianxing immediately stepped out of his seat and responded: "Lord Commander, Fu is willing to go to Xu Mansion and bring Xu Ke here." ”
Ying Han nodded and said, "In this way, it will be hard for the lord of the mansion." ”
Fu Tianxing bowed, and then broke through the air and directly passed through the gate of the Nine Xuan Palace, and flew away in the direction of Xu's mansion.
At this moment, everyone also understood in their hearts. The focus of the entire case has been focused on Xu Ke, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion.
After Xu Ke brought it later, as long as he listened to what Xu Ke said, he believed that the truth would be revealed.
For a moment, the surroundings fell silent.
Xu Tianjun looked at Ling Bing and the others, but he didn't see the panicked look he imagined.
These two people, on the contrary, have a good and indifferent attitude.
This kind of performance immediately made Xu Tianjun have some bad guesses and premonitions in his heart.
The flying speed of the Yuan Infant Master is really fast, not to mention that Fu Tianxing's body is a superior spirit beast of the bird class, the Snow Wing Brown Tail Eagle.
Not long after, a streamer of light shot out and instantly landed in the Nine Xuan Palace.
When they saw clearly that only Fu Tianxing came back, everyone was a little strange.
Dong Yi asked: "Hey, Lord Fu Mansion, why are you the only one who came back? Could it be that this Xu Ke is not in the Xu Mansion at the moment?"
Most people have the same doubts as him.
Fu Tianxing hadn't spoken yet, but Ying Han and Xiahou Zhiyuan saw that Fu Tianxing's face was a little wrong.
