Outlaw

When asked this question, Mao Yuzhen was very nervous!

Heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She was very worried that if Xiao Beichen said the word "yes", her mentality would explode...

Xiao Beichen stared at the green hills and fertile fields outside the car.

Those sad and melancholy eyes seemed to have seen all the vicissitudes of the world.

After a while, Xiao Beichen said calmly: "If I can't even get through Pingnan, why should I come back this time?"

"Tonight, let's go to Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy to try the waters."

After saying that, Xiao Beichen closed his eyes and said no more.

Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy is crucial to the Forbidden Palace's subsequent control of the four cities of Xiling.

Everything is tonight.

Mao Yuzhen didn't ask any more questions and drove all the way, feeling shocked in her heart.

Mao Yuzhen has been in charge of Xiling Taoist Gate for many years and has very rich experience.

She also has her own way of doing things and being a person.

But today, all of this... collapsed under Xiao Beichen's words.

This boy...

Soon, the car arrived at the gate of the Martial Arts Academy in Xiling Town.

After parking the car, the two were about to walk into Zhenwuyuan.

At this moment, a loud voice came from behind.

"Mrs. Mao, long time no see."

Turning around, I saw a couple coming.

The man is old, but the woman is young and beautiful. Holding hands with each other, they looked very affectionate. However, this man seemed a bit familiar to Xiao Beichen.

Mao Yuzhen glanced at the two of them and said softly: "Chen Jianguo, Wei Yulan... why are you here?"

Chen Jianguo?

Xiao Beichen's pupils shrank.

No wonder... Chen He's father.

This person's face is somewhat similar to Chen He...

Chen Jianguo looked very respectful in front of Mao Yuzhen: "Dean Li of the Zhenwu Academy said that something important will happen tonight and asked me to come and observe."

Mao Yuzhen nodded without taking it too seriously. He took Xiao Beichen into the Zhenwu Academy.

The Martial Arts Academy in Xiling Town is very large, and the decoration inside is also very grand, giving people a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

Xiao Beichen could tell at a glance that Xiling Town Martial Academy was not simple.

Although it is on the same level as Zhonghai Zhenwuyuan, the martial arts power here is far above that of Zhonghai Zhenwuyuan. It can even be compared with the Canglong Marquis Mansion, but it is still better.

Moreover, Xiao Beichen clearly felt that there seemed to be some unknown mysterious power lurking in this Zhenwu Academy.

This feeling made Xiao Beichen feel vaguely uncomfortable.

Mao Yuzhen was obviously a regular visitor here. As he led the way, he said, "Sir, don't worry, the vice-president of the Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy is Lu Jingxiu's uncle, Lu Heng. He knows you are coming and will receive you personally."

These words surprised Xiao Beichen.

Lu Jingxiu actually has a younger uncle who serves as the vice president of the Zhenwu Academy.

No wonder the Xiling Taoist Association, headed by Lu Mansion, has been able to establish itself in Xiling for such a long time.

It turns out that there is someone behind it.

Not long after, the two came to a quiet room.

The lights were still on inside late at night. A man in his sixties wearing gray casual clothes was sitting at the desk looking through documents. After seeing the visitor, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Yuzhen, you're finally here. Please sit down quickly."

"This should be Xiao Beichen, right?"

Mao Yuzhen gave a detailed introduction to both parties.

Lu Heng patted Xiao Beichen's shoulder fiercely and laughed boldly: "Xiao Beichen, you are worthy of being a bloody man. The annihilation of the Black Mountain Witch Clan is a feat that has never been done in Xiling in the past forty years. It has made great contributions to our Xiling." . You are my role model in Xiling Martial Arts. In the past few days, the entire top brass of Xiling Martial Arts are talking about you. I have received too much information about you."

Xiao Beichen, however, was not happy: "Mr. Lu, these are all trivial matters and not worth mentioning. I am here today to make a confession about what happened in the past few days."

Lu Heng and Mao Yuzhen exchanged a look, and then said boldly: "Mr. Xiao, Jingxiu and Yuzhen have already expressed their love to me before. They are also parties, you just need to sign here."

With that said, Lu Heng took a piece of material and handed it to Xiao Beichen.

Xiao Beichen flipped through it and found the handwriting of Lu Jingxiu and Mao Yuzhen.

It tells in detail the demise of the Canglong Marquis Mansion and the Black Mountain Witch Clan. Of course, the strength and specific skills displayed by Xiao Beichen were omitted.

It is consistent with what Xiao Beichen has experienced.

Particular emphasis was placed on the evil deeds of the Canglong Hou Mansion and the Black Mountain Witch Clan.

As expected of a man from the Forbidden Palace, he knows how to do things.

Materials like this are very important.

Official records represent the official attitude. Years and decades later, when people discuss the demise of the Canglong Marquis Mansion and the Black Mountain Witch Clan, they will focus on this material. As for the merits and demerits of Xiao Beichen, Xiling Dao Sect, Canglong Marquis Mansion and the Black Mountain Witch Clan, people in the future will mainly rely on official materials when understanding this period of history.

Xiao Beichen was very satisfied and signed directly on it: "So I can leave?"

Lu Heng firmly stated: "Yes."

Mao Yuzhen was still a little worried: "Dean Li's side...don't we have to go?"

Lu Hengdao: "Although Li Qinghe has a close relationship with Canglong Marquis and has a certain degree of kinship. But this time the collusion between Canglong Marquis and Dawu Zhu has become an established fact. At the official level, he cannot tell for the Canglong Marquis Mansion. With this Chen Love letters, that’s enough.”

"I know you don't like to deal with officials. Just go back and leave it all to me."

After speaking, Lu Heng compiled the materials: "I'm going to talk to Li Qinghe now. The Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy should use this material to file it. The matter between the Canglong Marquis Mansion and the Black Mountain Witch Clan should be ended at the official level."

Filing the material means the matter is over.

At least officially.

The attitude at the official level plays a decisive role.

Seeing Lu Heng rush out the door in a hurry. Mao Yuzhen was a little helpless: "This is how I, my little uncle, do things. I hate evil as much as I hate it, and I do it neatly. But I feel that this matter is not that simple."

Xiao Beichen nodded with deep approval: "Then let's wait here. If Lu Heng can completely finalize it, it won't be too late for us to leave."

Lu Heng had good intentions, but Xiao Beichen couldn't interrupt him.

Moreover, this is also the good intention of Mao Yuzhen and Lu Jingxiu.

No harm in waiting.

The two of them had nothing to do, drinking tea and chatting in the room, waiting quietly.

Mao Yuzhen talked about many interesting things about Lu Heng. When they got married, it was Lu Heng who officiated the wedding for them...

"My brother-in-law is nine years older than me, and we get along very well. Moreover, my brother-in-law is unrestrained, rebellious, and eager to do things. I never expected that he would eventually enter the official institution of Zhenwuyuan and start a career. The most trivial and boring job.”

Xiao Beichen felt a little heart-warming after hearing this: "Time will change a person."

Mao Yuzhen sighed: "That's not true. Because of the needs of the Xiling Taoist Sect, my uncle decided to work in the Zhenwu Academy. From then on, he ensured that our Xiling Taoist Sect would gain a foothold in Xiling. Over the years, my uncle has paid a lot. He deals with old foxes like Li Qinghe every day. , It’s really embarrassing for him.”

Xiao Beichen asked: "What kind of person is Li Qinghe?"

Mao Yuzhen said: "It is said that he is Li Longcang's biological brother. The details are unknown. But this person is indeed a talent. Forty years ago, Li Longcang gradually established the Canglong Marquis Mansion... Do you know who came up with this idea?"

Xiao Beichen was stunned: "Li Qinghe?"

Mao Yuzhen nodded heavily: "That's right. Not only did he give such advice, he also took care of it himself. It can be said that he has half of the credit for the establishment and development of the Canglong Marquis Mansion."

The more Xiao Beichen listened, the more he felt bad: "Since Li Qinghe and Li Longcang have such a close relationship, I'm afraid Lu Heng will be in trouble today."

Mao Yuzhen nodded heavily: "I feel the same way. I'm afraid I still underestimate the ferocity and viciousness of people's hearts."

Xiao Beichen took a sip of tea and said, "It's just...since Li Qinghe has such a deep relationship with the Canglong Marquis Mansion, why didn't he do anything when he went to destroy the Canglong Marquis Mansion?"

Mao Yuzhen said: "He should also be involved, tacitly admitting that Li Longcang and Gu Jinchen teamed up with the great witch Zhu to set up a dragnet against you in Canglonghou Mansion. However, he thought that you would definitely die in Canglonghou Mansion, and he never expected that Canglonghou Mansion would Destruction. I didn’t expect that the great wizard Zhu invited by Gu Jinchen would become their biggest restriction.”

Xiao Beichen nodded while thinking deeply: "That's right. Once the Great Witch Zhu appears, it will be confirmed that the Canglong Marquis Mansion is colluding with the heinous Black Mountain Witch Clan. Even if Li Qinghe wants to stop it, he can't come forward."

Official institutions are regulators and supervisors.

Privately participating in civil strife in martial arts is inappropriate and can easily be criticized.

If people knew that he, Li Qinghe, was harboring the Canglong Marquis who was colluding with the Black Mountain Witch Clan... he would lose his reputation and would even be severely punished.

Mao Yuzhen said: "Not only Li Qinghe didn't expect it, but the Rong family behind the Canglong Marquis Mansion and Ping Nanwang didn't expect it either. Therefore, they can only settle accounts with you after Qiu. And today may be the beginning of all this."

really--

At this moment, a member of the Zhenwu Academy walked into the room domineeringly and glanced at Xiao Beichen and the two: "Who is Xiao Beichen?"

Xiao Beichen was a little unhappy: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

The member said coldly: "The review team of the Zhenwu Academy wants to see you. Come with me."

Review team?

so serious?

Xiao Beichen had expected it and was not surprised at all: "Lead the way."

All the way to the hall of Zhenwuyuan.

In the grand hall, there are four Taishi chairs on the left and right sides. There are two mahogany chairs on the left and right in the chief position, separated by a small coffee table.

At this moment, the house is full.

Sitting on the left are two men wearing the official uniforms of Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy. Judging from their clothes, they must be of high rank. The other two seats were occupied by Chen Jianguo and Wei Yulan.

And in the four positions on the right, four men in black suits were sitting, wearing the uniforms of Pingnan Zhenwu Mansion. They were majestic and indifferent. Obviously he has to overwhelm the people on the left.

The two people sitting in the chief position are the real owners today.

One is Li Qinghe, who is over fifty years old, and the other is a strong man in red in his early forties, who is unparalleled in domineering and looks down on the audience.

Lu Heng stood alone in the middle of the hall, obviously blushing after an argument.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Beichen felt an unfriendly smell.

snort!

Lu Hengchong snorted at the two people in the chief position, and then walked to Xiao Beichen, full of grief and anger: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I couldn't let this file be filed. They deny it!"

Xiao Beichen was very calm: "Them? Who are they?"

Lu Heng pointed at the two people in the chief position: "Li Qinghe, the dean of the Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy, and the other is the deputy chief inspector of the Pingnan Town Martial Arts Mansion, Han Qian. They represent the attitude of the Pingnan Town Martial Arts Mansion."

Xiao Beichen stood with his hands behind his hands and said coldly: "How can you deny it?"

Lu Heng was very angry: "They said it was a huge sin for you to destroy the Canglong Marquis Mansion. You destroyed the order of martial arts, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and despised the official... But they didn't mention a word about your destruction of the Black Mountain Witch Clan... It's really too much. ah……"

Snapped!

Xiao Beichen slapped Lu Heng on the shoulder fiercely to stop him from saying anything detrimental to his future career.

"Mr. Lu, if you can do this, it's enough. I'll take care of the rest."

After saying that, Xiao Beichen took a step forward, looked coldly at Han Qian and Li Qinghe, who were sitting in the chief position, and said indifferently: "You asked me to come, I'm already here. If you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Han Qian and Li Qinghe exchanged looks.

Bang!

Li Qinghe slammed the coffee table and shouted coldly: "Xiao Beichen, do you know your guilt?"

Xiao Beichen said coldly: "What crime?"

Li Qinghe was furious: "You slaughtered the whole family of Canglong Hou! This is a major case that has never happened since I took charge of the Xiling Town Martial Academy. I have always enforced the law impartially, but I didn't expect that such a cruel villain would appear! You are unforgivable. Worse than an animal!"

Xiao Beichen sneered: "It's ridiculous. When Li Longcang wiped out all the members of the Xiao family in Zhonghai, why didn't you hold Li Longcang accountable? Who are you to enforce the law impartially?"

Li Qinghe had already prepared his words: "Those are all events of the past and have been filed away and sealed long ago. Don't confuse right and wrong."

Xiao Beichen: "Same thing, same encounter, same ending. You said it was Mr. Bin who enforced the law, but I said it was confusing right and wrong? Who do you think you are? You have the final say in the law of this world?"

"Don't argue with me. Today our Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy will publicly try your crimes here. Record them and hand them over to Pingnan Town Martial Arts Mansion. Once the trial is over, you will be sanctioned by our Martial Arts Academy. Yes, student Whether it's death, everything depends on the outcome of the trial. As the dean of the Xiling Town Martial Arts Academy, I, Li Qinghe, will enforce the law impartially and without any favoritism." Li Qinghe became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, making himself look like a master of the law. .

"Chief Inspector Han Qian, I fully support your decision. The trial can begin now."

After speaking, Li Qinghe waved his hand fiercely.

Swish swish!

Outside the hall door, hundreds of Zhenwu Academy masters armed with thermal weapons rushed in.

All the specially made guns were aimed at Xiao Beichen.

Bang!

Han Qian stood up fiercely: "Now, let's start the trial of Xiling's number one criminal, Xiao Beichen!"

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of masters outside the door came in one after another, chanting the same voice.

It is solemn and sacred, with the smell of a law field.

Li Qinghe took out a scroll domineeringly and began to write on it: "Xiao Beichen, the first crime is to massacre the entire Canglong Marquis Mansion. The second crime is to despise the Xiling Town Martial Academy. The third crime is to kill innocent people indiscriminately..."

At this moment, Li Qinghe seemed to have the power of life and death in Xiling.

A dozen charges were read out in succession.

But Xiao Beichen was not anxious at all. He stood with his hands behind his hands and watched everything quietly. It wasn't until Li Qinghe finished reading that Xiao Beichen said calmly: "Are you done?"

Li Qinghe shouted angrily: "The reading is over, the charges are clear, and you have to accept execution on the spot. Xiao Beichen, can you plead guilty?"

"Plead guilty?" Xiao Beichen suddenly smiled.

Brilliant, evil!
