The front hall of Jiedu Mansion.

Ma San brought out a soft couch, and Zhu Xiu lay on his stomach, unbuttoning his clothes. The old doctor named Shi Kuangwei, who was treating injuries, took a bottle of bruise medicine and rubbed several bruises on his body.

Zhu Xiu made moaning sounds from time to time, which sounded like pain and enjoyment. Her weird tone made the old doctor feel ashamed and somewhat helpless.

Chu Xing was lying in the hall, his hands and feet bound and his mouth gagged. Chen Anyanping was guarding him with a knife.

Song Shen, Pei Jin, and Wen Tai were sitting on both sides, looking at Chu Xing, then Zhu Xiu, and looking at each other.

There are many questions in everyone's mind. Why did Chu Xing attack Zhu Xiu?

Chu Xing was also a well-known warrior in the Ya army. He tried to assassinate a young scholar who had no strength to restrain a chicken. He failed, but instead burned himself all over. His neck, head and face were covered with blisters as big as soybeans, and his exposed body was covered with blisters.

His blue-black skin gives people goosebumps just looking at it.

How did Chu Xing get this injury?

Even with Shi Lingyan's personal protection, it was considered good to escape Chu Xing with his life, but how could he be hurt instead?

How did Zhu Xiu do it?

Everyone had questions on their foreheads, but Zhu Xiu just smiled and said nothing, making everyone even more curious.

I wanted to interrogate Chu Xing, but this guy was full of filthy words and had a fierce and arrogant expression. He seemed to be sure that Zhu Xiu would not do anything to him.

Zhu Xiu immediately lost interest in listening and asked Yan Ping to shut his mouth again.

A sound of heavy footsteps hurriedly came from outside the hall, and accompanied by a clanking sound of iron leaves colliding, Wei Hu walked in with a sword on his shoulder.

Song Shen, Pei Jin and others stood up to greet him, cupped their hands and said, "Wei Ya is handsome."

When Chu Xing saw Wei Hu, he whined in his throat, as if asking for help.

"Brother Wei." Zhu Xiu gestured to stand up. Wei Hu glanced at Chu Xing and strode past him.

"Brother Xiu, there is no need to be polite." Wei Hu held him down and prevented him from getting up. He glanced at the bruises on his body and said in a deep voice, "Is it serious?"

Zhu Xiu grinned and continued to lie down: "It's just a skin injury, it's okay."

Wei Hu nodded: "That's good."

Turning around to face Chu Xing, Wei Hu's dark face was cold and solemn, his eyes calm and intimidating: "What's going on?"

Zhu Xiu recounted what had happened, and Wei Hu seemed very angry, with a gloomy expression on his face.

At this time, everyone was surprised to know that Zhu Xiu used white water to burn Chu Xing into this miserable state.

White ash can be mixed into sand and used to build walls, lay bricks, paint walls, prevent moisture and insects, and even be used as medicine.

Many people know that white ash can produce heat when put into water, but only the craftsmen who burn lime kilns know how hot it is.

But looking at Chu Xing's skin peeling off now, everyone probably knew better. They secretly made a note to tell their families and servants after returning home that if there is white ash at home, they must store it well and don't throw it into the water...

Wei Hu stepped forward and pulled Chu Xing up, taking out the ball of cloth from his mouth. Their eyes briefly met inadvertently.

"Bold Chu Xing! What else do you have to say?" Wei Hu shouted coldly.

Chu Xing swallowed his saliva, looked around the people in the hall, suddenly glared at Zhu Xiu, and said loudly and emotionally: "Yes! I want to kill him! This son is the culprit who disrupted the Zhangyi Army and caused civil strife. Shouldn't he be killed?"

"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the Jiedu Mansion present were in an uproar.

Wei Hu angrily rebuked: "That's nonsense! The civil strife in the Zhangyi Army was caused by the Xue family setting fire to the grain depot, spreading rumors among the Ya Army, and inciting the soldiers to commit rebellion. What does it have to do with Zhu Xiu?"

Chu Xing complained bitterly: "Zhu Xiu is the best at persuading the handsome man to let him serve as the deputy commander of the Ya Nei capital. As an outsider, he is young and has not made any achievements. How can he be qualified to take charge of the Ya army?

This man is cunning and cunning. Those who are close to him in the Ya army will be sent to Yangjinchuan to guard the salt factory. They will privately reward money and silk to win people's hearts. They have evil intentions!

He also killed Li Guangbo in Liangyuan County and provoked powerful enemies for the Changyi Army.

It's unfair that Jieshuai didn't deal with him despite having committed several crimes! The civil strife is still going on right now, and only by taking Zhu Xiu's head and handing it over to the Xue family can we appease people's hearts and quell the civil strife!"

After Chu Xing finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.

Song Shen frowned and glanced at Chu Xing and Wei Hu.

Pei Jin couldn't help but refuted in a low voice: "It's far-fetched and nonsense~"

Seeing Wei Hu looking at him with a slightly cold gaze, Pei Jin smiled and shut up.

Wen Tai's attitude was clear and authentic: "The civil strife in Zhangyi was entirely caused by the Xue family and had nothing to do with anyone else! Although Zhu Shaolang is young, he is a leader among people and has the trust of Commander Ji. There is nothing wrong with him being the deputy envoy of the Ya Army.

!I, the Wen family, will fully support Shi Jieshuai and Deputy Envoy Zhu to quell the Xue family rebellion!"

The other officials in the Jiedu Prefecture nodded in agreement.

Several Yajun commanders sitting nearby looked at each other, some nodded and some remained silent.

Wei Hu's hand holding the sword tightened, and his slightly cold eyes glanced at Song Shen Wen Tai and several commanders who expressed their support for Zhu Xiu's appointment as the deputy envoy of the Ya Army.

Zhu Xiu looked at Chu Xing with a strange expression, but she didn't expect that this guy still had some skills in talking.

From what he meant, he actually wanted to blame himself for the civil strife in the Ya Army? To sow discord between him and the commanders of the Ya Army?

Zhu Xiu was confused, why did Chu Xing do this?

What benefits can he get from being in it?

A burst of noise came from outside the hall. Pang Guangsheng and several temporarily promoted commanders led more than a hundred tooth soldiers into the open courtyard.

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that these loyal tooth soldiers were also going to rebel?

Wei Hu and a group of subordinate officials hurriedly went out to check, but Zhu Xiu didn't bother to apply medicine. Ma San grabbed a robe and put it on him, and helped him rush out of the hall. Chen An Yanping escorted Chu Xing to follow.

"Pang Guangsheng, what do you mean by this?" Wei Hu stood under the eaves, holding a knife and standing astride, and asked condescendingly.

Pang Guangsheng clasped his fists and said, "Chu Xing's crime will not lead to death. Please give Yashuai a lighter sentence!"

Wei Hu said calmly: "Chu Xing attacked Vice Envoy Zhu. How to deal with it should be decided by Vice Envoy Zhu!"

Pang Guangsheng clasped his fists towards Zhu Xiu again and said, "We ask Deputy Zhu to open his net and forgive Chu Xing!"

"This..." Zhu Xiu was dumbfounded and looked embarrassed.

His original intention was to let Wei Hu announce the disposition of Chu Xing.

Chu Xing was one of Wei Hu's subordinates. By doing this, he gave Wei Hu some face and prevented the Ya army from having separate commanders, thinking that the two commanders were at odds with each other.

Unexpectedly, Pang Guangsheng and these commanders actually led people to plead for mercy. Looking at the fierce public attitude, if Zhu Xiu really announced Chu Xing's execution, he would probably offend them completely.

However, Wei Hu kicked the ball back again, as if he had no intention of severely punishing Chu Xing.

Chu Xing was very proud, as if he was sure that his life was not in danger.

Just as Zhu Xiu was hesitating, a loud shout came from the door leading to the back house.

"So handsome!"

I saw two soldiers carrying a shoulder carriage, and sitting on it was none other than Shi Kuangwei!

Shi Xiangwen followed, walking from a distance like an iron tower.

The big man wearing a helmet and armor on the other side is Guan Tieshi!

It was him who shouted loudly just now!
