Cui Xian's expression suddenly changed, not because of the gun on the back of his head, nor because of Rong Fei's murderous tone, but because of a figure wearing a white gown who was stepping across the threshold.
It was this person's words that shattered his awe-inspiring aura just now.
"Who are you?"
Cui Xian's heart beat inexplicably fast, but it wasn't the kind of throbbing he felt when he saw Ji Rou as a child, but because of... fear.
Although he had roughly guessed the identity of this person, Cui Xian still wanted to confirm it.
"The chief arrester of the Jixian Division, Yu Qingzhi."
Sure enough it was him.
His suspicion was confirmed, and he knew that he could not take Guo Xiao away today no matter what. Even so, Cui Xian was very single, and put Guo Xiao on the ground, cupping his fists and cupping his hands towards Yu Qingzhi.
"Mr. Shushan Gou's named disciple Cui Xian of Longxi has met Mr. Yu."
"Gou Xun's disciple, the Cui family of Longxi. Haha, why, are you afraid of arresting you too?"
Yu Qingzhi smiled.
"I know that this little trick can't be hidden from Mr. Yu's eyes, and it makes you laugh. Guo Xiao and I are both Mr. Gou's disciples, and we have classmates. Even if we are not ashamed of what he did, because of the rules of Shushan,
I can only help you, and I hope Mr. Yu will forgive me."
Cui Xian explained.
"Well, it's reasonable. You did the right thing."
"Mr. Yu has captured a large number of adults. Cui Xian is deeply grateful, so he will stop disturbing you and take his leave."
Cui Xian looked happy and turned around to leave, but his body couldn't move. Invisible pressure came from all directions, making it difficult for him to breathe.
This is... Haoran Qi, and it is Haoran Qi that is several levels higher than what I have cultivated?
Cui Xian was startled, but then he realized something was wrong.
Haoran's aura was peaceful, but the invisible energy that suppressed him at this moment was full of ferocity and violence.
After calming down and thinking for a while, Cui Xian thought of a rumor.
It is said that eight hundred years ago, Chaishen learned from the experts of many masters and created his own Chashen Technique. Its characteristic is that it can imitate the techniques and moves of various spiritual sects.
The God-catching Technique is exactly Ji Xian Si’s practice technique.
Yu Qingzhi is the chief arrester of the Immortal Enforcement Division, so it is not surprising that he uses the Immortal Enforcement Technique to imitate the display of Haoran Qi.
"How's it going, little guy? How does it feel to be suppressed by the awe-inspiring energy?"
Yu Qingzhi asked with a smile.
"Hehe...hehe."
Cui Xiao smiled bitterly, but didn't know how to answer.
"I just said that what you did was right, and that was from your standpoint. But if you were from the standpoint of the Immortal Division, you would commit the first crime of kidnapping people from the imperial court, and the second crime would be to bully the imperial officials by relying on your cultivation. If so
If I let you go so easily, I, as the chief catcher, would no longer have to do my job, don't you think so?
Hahaha, although the Cui family in Longxi is a wealthy family, they have no control over our Ji Xian Division. And didn’t Gou Xun tell you that I have a grudge against him?”
"This...this..."
When Cui Xian heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes rolled around in his eye sockets, and he hesitated in his mouth, trying to argue more.
"Look, I scared you so much. I'm just teasing you. The grudge between me and your teacher has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I won't take it out on you."
Cui Xian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be spared jail.
"But after all, you have violated the law, but you must have an explanation. How about this, you cut off two of your fingers and the matter is over?"
"Mr. Yu, you are really good at joking."
Cui Xianqian smiled.
"Should I help you, or should you do it yourself?"
Although Yu Qingzhi still had a smile on his face, his eyes suddenly turned cold and his tone was even more decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Cui Xian was so frightened that he trembled and said quickly.
"No need to worry about the arrest, I...I...I will do it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible energy disappeared immediately.
Cui Xian, who had regained his ability to move, did not dare to hesitate. He held the little finger and ring finger of his left hand with his right hand, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and squeezed them hard.
With two crisp sounds, Cui Xian moved his right hand and exposed the two fingers that were cut off and stuck to the back of his hand for Yu Qingzhi to check.
"Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom, remember?"
"Remember...remember..."
Cui Xian sucked in air from between his teeth and replied with a painful expression.
"Let's go."
Yu Qingzhi waved his hand, Cui Xian gave a scrawled salute and left in a hurry.
"Put these shackles on Guo Xiao and immediately escort him to the Immortal Anti-immortal Division in Kyoto for trial. As for Guo Muhuai, just put him under supervision and let the staff handle it on their own."
Yu Qingzhi waved his sleeves, and the handcuffs and shackles, which were black and glowing with silver, flew out from the cuffs and landed next to Guo Xiao.
Cao Yuan and Zhang Song quickly said yes, but Guo Muhuai on the other hand was unwilling to sit back and wait for death. When he glanced at the people of Fencheng who were still gathered outside the Yamen, they immediately thought about it and cried out sadly.
"Guo has been working in Fencheng for four years. He has been conscientious and diligent, and never dared to slack off. He only wanted to live up to the emperor's grace and live up to the expectations of the people in the city, and he only worked for the welfare of Fencheng. It is a pity that he suffered a traitor today.
They tried to trap me and take away the lives of my father and son, but there was no chance for them to realize their ambitions.
However, Guo will never succumb to the shameless evildoers like you. Even if he dies, he will leave his passion in the land of Fencheng.
Your Majesty, I am ashamed of your kindness and the love of the folks in Fencheng. I...go!"
After shouting, Guo Muhuai hit the pillar next to him, but he tripped on something unknown and staggered and fell in front of the pillar.
After falling down, Guo Muhuai did not get up. He lay on the ground, beat the ground with his hands, and cried loudly.
The people who were watching in front of the Yamen were moved. They were confused and confused about the series of events that had happened before. However, everyone could understand the impassioned speech made by County Magistrate Guo. This was not the scene in a big drama, in which treacherous ministers persecute loyal ministers.
Well.
In addition, although Guo Muhuai's position as county magistrate was not clean, there was not a single unjust case in Fencheng during his four-year term. This was an achievement that real people could see, so he was given the title Guo Qingtian.
What happened to Guo Qingtian immediately aroused the righteous indignation of the people in Fencheng. For a time, countless pairs of angry eyes glared at Yu Qingzhi fiercely, and some even waved their fists and shouted, 'Kill that traitor in white clothes!'.
Someone started to stir up trouble, and the situation got a little out of control. More and more people joined in cursing and insulting Yu Qingzhi. The sound was so loud that the tiles on the roof of the lobby were trembling, and old ash rustled down.
This is going to... a civil uprising!
The people on the long street gradually threatened to lose control and attack the government office. Cao Yuan, Zhang Song and a group of fast-moving government officials were frightened by the attack and turned pale. They thought about finding an opportunity to escape quickly to avoid being beaten to death by the angry people.
.
At the critical moment, Master Li Fengjie, who had been a spectator for a long time, suddenly stood up, waved his arms and shouted to the angry people of Fencheng, but he was drowned by the huge sound, and no one could hear what he was shouting.
Li Fengjie felt miserable!
The fire at the city gate has affected Chiyu, and it is a foregone conclusion that Guo Muhuai will be imprisoned. As Guo Muhuai's most trusted master, Li Fengjie will definitely be liquidated.
The only chance to save yourself now is to change camps immediately and make meritorious deeds.
So when Cao Yuan and others were thinking of running away, Li Fengjie stepped forward without hesitation.
No one knows Guo Muhuai's secret activities better than Li Fengjie. If he comes out and speaks out, he will surely win the trust of the people of Fencheng.
But the problem now is that no matter how loud Li Fengjie shouts, no one can hear what he is saying.
Just because others can't hear it doesn't mean Yu Qingzhi can't hear it.
Guo Muhuai's move was indeed beyond Yu Qingzhi's expectations. He was still worried about how to calm the people's anger. After hearing the content of Li Fengjie's shout, he smiled slightly and felt reassured.
"quiet!"
Yu Qingzhi opened his mouth and uttered two words, which sounded like thunder throughout the long street, drowning out the noise of the people in Fencheng.
The people were so frightened that they trembled and closed their mouths, and the surging momentum disappeared instantly.
Li Fengjie seized the opportunity, ignoring the ringing in his ears, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I am Li Fengjie, the county government official. I dare to risk my life to testify that all the cases in Fencheng in the past four years were solved by the arrester Rong Fei. Guo Muhuai is a shameless person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. Folks, please don't
I have been deceived and deceived.
In addition, I have here many evidences of Guo Muhuai's corruption, perverting the law, and abusing power for personal gain...cough cough cough... Folks, Guo Muhuai is the biggest traitor in Fen City."
"I am the county magistrate Cao Yuan. I can prove that everything Master Li said is true."
"My chief clerk, Zhang Song, can also prove that what Mr. Li said is true."
Seeing that the situation was stable, Cao Yuan and Zhang Song quickly jumped out to share the credit.
The people on the long street looked at each other in shock when they heard this, with some embarrassed expressions on their faces. They didn't know what to do for a while.
If you believe Mr. Li's words, it seems that your position is not firm enough. If you don't believe it, the county magistrate and the chief registrar are jointly guaranteeing this, so this matter cannot be false.
"Now that the truth is known, let's all disperse."
Yu Qingzhi said with a majestic tone.
The common people were in low spirits, and gradually dispersed with their heads hanging. The long street was deserted, and even the shops had closed their doors and closed down.
Why are the generals so upset today? It's all because of the damn treacherous minister Guo Muhuai who made him look embarrassed.
In the county government, Yu Qingzhi, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, praised Cao Yuan and Zhang Song, told them that all matters in Fencheng would be temporarily managed by them, and left with Rong Fei and Ji Rouer.
Now that things have happened, Rong Fei and Ji Rouer returned home with a change of clothes and money, and then went outside the city to burn some paper money and ingots at the graves of Liu Yong and Qi Xiutai. After saying goodbye, they set off on their way to the capital of Dayan.
A few miles away from the city, Rong Fei stopped and turned around, looking back at the blurred Fencheng walls with mixed feelings in his heart.
Farewell - Fencheng!
After walking a few miles, Yu Qingzhi led the two of them down the official road and turned into the woods beside the road.
There was no existing road in the woods. After the three of them stepped on the grass and walked through the forest for a certain distance, Ji Rou'er quietly tugged on Rong Fei's sleeve, showing worry.
Rong Fei smiled and shook his head, patted Ji Rouer's hand and said there was no need to worry.
Ji Rou'er was worried that Yu Qingzhi would bring the two of them to such a remote and uninhabited place for some purpose. But Rong Fei knew that with Yu Qingzhi's ability, if he wanted to kill the two of them, it would not be worse than crushing two ants.
Takes time.
The three of them soon came to a mountain wall. Yu Qingzhi lifted up the vines hanging from the mountain wall, revealing a cave entrance half a man high.
Yu Qingzhi was the first to bend down and enter the cave. Rong Fei and Ji Rouer looked at each other, grabbed each other's hands and followed them in.
The vines hanging down outside made the cave immediately dim.
Yu Qingzhi took out a luminous bead from his sleeve, and the cave suddenly became as bright as day.
Is this the legendary Night Pearl?
Rong Fei secretly guessed.
Yu Qingzhi led the way holding the night pearl, and the two of them followed behind. The cave was extremely deep and winding, and the three of them walked in twists and turns for almost half an hour.
Ji Rou'er became more and more frightened as she walked away, her body began to tremble slightly, and she calmed down a little after she took out a gun from Rong Fei's waist and hid it in her sleeve.
"arrive."
At this time, Yu Qingzhi suddenly stopped, and after speaking to the two of them, he raised his hand and pushed the cave wall above his head, revealing a circular exit.
Coming out of the exit, Rong Fei found that the three of them were in a private house. He walked to the window and looked out through the gap, feeling that the scenery looked familiar.
After carefully recalling the route he took in the cave, Rong Fei looked at Yu Qingzhi in surprise and asked.
"This is Fencheng?"
The three of them wandered around and returned to Fencheng again.
"Too many people see me as a thorn in their side and want to kill me, so I have to be careful."
Yu Qingzhi put away the night pearl and explained.
Then he asked Rong Fei and Ji Rouer to stand in the corner of the room, waving their sleeves towards the ground, and the dirt floor gradually blurred and blurred, revealing its original appearance.
A seven-foot-square bluestone slab with complex patterns carved on it.
The three of them stood on the stone slab. Yu Qingzhi took out a mottled and simple sheathed waist knife from his sleeve and inserted it into the flat hole in the center of the stone slab. The lines carved on the bluestone immediately emitted a brilliant light and enveloped the three of them.
The dazzling light forced Rong Fei and Ji Rouer to close their eyes tightly. When they noticed the light dissipated and opened their eyes again, they found that the surrounding scenery had completely changed.
Although it is still in a room, the material style of the doors and windows and the various furnishings in the room are full of luxury and wealth.
"The palace is heavily guarded and you are not allowed to move around at will. Remember that."
Yu Qingzhi put the simple waist knife back into his sleeve and said.
"Ah, this is the palace?"
Ji Rouer asked in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
Fencheng and Kyoto are three thousand miles apart, but they arrived in the blink of an eye. It's really incredible.
"The teleportation circle can travel thousands of miles in an instant, it's an ordinary thing."
Yu Qingzhi replied rather proudly.
But Rongfei could clearly see a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face looked paler than before.
Obviously using the teleportation circle is not as ordinary and easy as Yu Qingzhi said.
Thinking of this, Rong Fei's heart suddenly sank and he asked quickly.
"Brother Yu is so anxious to rush back to Kyoto. Is the search for the jade seal imminent?"
"Well, it's quite urgent. We need to find it before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. But don't put too much pressure on me, just do your best."
Yu Qingzhi smiled.
"When is the ceremony to worship the heaven?"
"At noon on the ninth day of September, it officially begins."
"Sister Rou, what day is today?"
Rong Fei swayed, pulled Ji Rouer and asked.
"Hmm... It seems to be the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."
