Chapter 44 Mediation
"Keep telling the story. You may not have such free time in the next few rounds."
"speak."
…
However, in Zhenbei Palace, Xi Wuqiu was about to do justice for Heaven, but was stopped by a righteous voice.
When he turned around, he saw that he was an acquaintance, Li Zhang, the governor of this state.
If there was any other obstruction, Xi Wuqiu would ignore it, but since it was Mr. Li who had met several times in Shenjing and now had a good official reputation, Xi Wuqiu would still press his sword on Takagi Zhen's neck for the time being.
Li Zhang was also very surprised when he saw Xi Wuqiu. He asked in surprise. After Xi Wuqiu told him, he understood the whole story.
"It's really...lawless!" Li Zhang glared at Gao Muzhen, but after thinking about it for a moment, he put his hand on Wu Qiu's arm.
"Master Xi, although this man deserves to die, you are not suitable to kill him here."
"Why?"
Li Zhang frowned and slowly gave three reasons.
First, Xi Wu Qiu has no official status. Although he has a reputation as a chivalrous person, he usually punishes gangsters and minor officials. But now he wants to lynch the prince of the palace, which will inevitably bring disaster to himself.
Secondly, the King of Zhenbei is a man with a good face. Now the palace is holding a grand ceremony for returning to the clan, and has notified many people. If word suddenly spreads that this child is a beast who raped and killed a good family, and has been punished by others, It also hurts the face of King Zhenbei too much.
Thirdly, this matter can be handled more smoothly, that is, the prophet will inform the King of Zhenbei and let him expel the child from the house on the grounds of bad conduct. After that, the Yamen will arrest him and bring him to justice. After the storm has passed, he can keep a low profile. Ask and chop.
These words show that it is natural to clear the hatred of Wu.
He only wanted Gao Mu to suppress the law, and he had no grudge against the King of Zhenbei. If the King of Zhenbei was sensible and just didn't want to lose face, he would be willing to cooperate.
Although his weathered temperament and overly handsome appearance often make people feel on pins and needles inadvertently, in reality Xi Wu Qiu is not without an easy-going side. As long as there is no fundamental contradiction in his travels, he is not always aggressive.
Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then please ask Hero Xi to tie up the prisoner. I will explain the reason to the old lady myself. When the King of Zhenbei comes back, I will negotiate with him."
Xi Wuchou nodded and took Gao Muzhen to the woodshed to guard it personally without leaving, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation.
It was not until midnight that Li Zhang came back sweating. It turned out that the situation was not going well. The old lady said that this was the only seedling of the Gao family and refused to let go. She had already sent someone to notify the King of Zhenbei.
At this time, the matter has been made clear. If he kills Gaomu Town again with one sword, Li Zhang will inevitably harm the Zhenbei Palace. To clear his hatred of Wu, he will first take the person to the state prison for custody as Li Zhang said, leaving Li Zhang in custody. This is waiting for the king of Zhenbei.
The king of Zhenbei has been guarding the border for more than ten years, and his prestige is very high. He must not want to lose it because of this.
However, after Li Zhangjing waited for a long time, he received a message: "The dog is unruly. Mr. Li has to worry about it. He will be disciplined in the future."
To wash away Wu's hatred, he had to simply take Gao Muzhen to the gate of the palace and kill him. If only one person was responsible, Li Zhang would not be harmed.
But now everyone in the palace thought that Gao Muzhen was in Li Zhang's hands. If something happened, how would he be able to get away with it? They hurriedly persuaded Xi Wu Qiu, saying that he would go and persuade him face to face.
Xi Wuqiu said: "Then it will be limited to two days."
After saying that, he took Gao Muzhen away.
Li Zhang looked at the empty cell and couldn't help but regret wading into this muddy water.
But it is said that Li Zhang is a person who is honest and upright and enforces the law impartially. However, when he was on duty in the Sixth Department of Shenjing, he got a comment, saying: "He has spirit but no bones, and he is easy to become poor if he is so successful."
At this time, the viciousness of the critic's vision was revealed. When Li Zhang saw Xi Wu Qiu using lynching, he really wanted to protect Xi Wu Qiu and avoid angering the palace, so he took the matter on his shoulders.
When he arrived in front of the old lady and King Zhenbei, he only said that he had investigated the case and did not reveal Xi Wu Chou's name. Firstly, it was to protect Xi Wu Chou, and secondly, he also wanted to build a case for himself that he would not be afraid of the palace and enforce the law impartially. Good reputation.
However, the usually majestic and selfless King of Zhenbei was actually willing to protect this child who had never seen both sides, but he was unexpected.
At this time, he was extremely anxious, not so much because he was afraid that he would not be beheaded, but more because he was afraid of washing away the anger poured out by King Zhenbei after Wu Qiuzhen killed Gao Muzhen.
Xi Wuqiu has never hesitated, and he will not leave Gao Muzhen to others. Once the two days are up, he will definitely kill Gao Muzhen.
Li Zhang gritted his teeth and had no choice but to persuade King Zhenbei again.
But he said that he had taken away the people to wash Wu Qiu, and stayed in Yincheng for the past two days.
He came here for two purposes, one was to look for a legendary martial arts, and the other was to make a breakthrough by building a lodge on the spot if he failed to find it.
He asked around about the first purpose but did not hide it, but currently only he knew about the second purpose.
If this news gets out, there will be an uproar.
Xi Wuqiu was only thirty-two years old, and Xuanhe had only hung up his clothes and stepped into Xuanmen six years ago. Compared with those few truly proud men of heaven, he could be considered a late bloomer.
However, who would have expected that he participated in the Feather Scale Examination three years ago and ranked 23rd as soon as he entered the list.
Really famous all over the world.
Now three years have passed, and the new Yulin Trial is about to be held. Everyone is speculating whether he can enter the top ten. Some people even dare to push him into the top five. Unexpectedly, his eyes are no longer here, but are preparing to break through the mysterious realm. Climb the sky tower and become one of the few great people in the world.
Of course, it was not because of this confidence that he dared to interfere with the affairs of Zhenbei Palace. Even if the Meridian Tree had just died, he would still kill this person if he wanted to.
He entered the world of martial arts at the age of fourteen. At the age of nineteen, when Maishu was five years old, he killed the "Desert King" He Lanzhu in the Western Desert. In the case of "Jiangmai Yishu", she faced [Luofu] of the Sun-Eating Society and killed a master head-on with the Eight Lives Realm, and almost single-handedly foiled the terrifying plot.
After returning to Beijing, he relied on this merit to become the first "Hejian" who was not a grandmaster in Xianrentai. However, he resigned after three years and traveled around the world.
Perhaps it was due to too many desperate rebirths in the first half of his life that Xi Wu Qiu did not value his own life very seriously. It was normal for him to have Yama take his life from him, which led to him not being in awe of many things.
Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, with hundreds of thousands of troops, he could clearly realize that this power was enough to easily crush him, but he still didn't bother to do anything to cover up if he wanted to kill Gao Muzhen.
On the afternoon of the second day, Xi Wuqiu went to the state government office to inquire, and saw Li Zhang sitting on a chair with a relaxed expression - the King of Zhenbei relented.
It turned out that the palace had found information about another illegitimate child from other places, so this one was left to its own devices.
"Why is this King of Zhenbei like a hen, laying eggs wherever he goes?" Xi Wuqiu laughed.
Li Zhang quickly covered Xi Wu Chou's mouth and said: "The court will be held tomorrow. Once the evidence is gathered together, we will convict you. After that, we will immediately interrogate and execute him."
Xi Wuchou nodded, and immediately went to Kuiju Town to pick up the scholar and bring him out of the hall, asking him to witness the beheading of his enemy with his own eyes.
