- #589 - Chapter 558 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
I have to say that the vitality of cultivators is really strong.
A big hole was opened in his right chest, and his dantian was pierced by a knife blade. Qin Weishu was still not dead. He even had some energy left to speak, and his smiling voice was trembling because of the injury:
“What a pity.”
“.”
In response to these unclear words, Xu Yuan was kicked from behind.
Qin Weishu immediately fell forward in embarrassment and slid out of the hole made by the smashed hole for a few feet, bright red blood dragging all over the ground.
Glancing at the blood soaked in the secret agent’s saber, Xu Yuan turned around indifferently and walked slowly towards Xu Mengxi’s direction.
“clatter”
“clatter”
Listening to the sound of footsteps moving from near to far, Qin Weishu struggled and turned his face sideways, spitting out blood-soaked dust.
If you don’t continue to provoke, provocation after defeat will only make people feel pitiful.
However, as soon as he entered the capital, he was beaten into such a moral state by this boy who appeared out of nowhere, and his life and death depended on the other person’s thoughts.
How ridiculous.
Seeing the figure disappearing into the black mist, Qin Weishu’s eyes were filled with a daze.
He shouldn’t lose this battle.
Over-reliance on the locking energy of the calming anchor, using the Konglan Sword and Changing Kong Daoyun too casually, and exposing the source energy reserves that exceeded the body-melting threshold directly led to the opponent’s belief that he had a second Dao Yun.
These details added up to his downfall.
But even so, he actually has a chance to make a comeback.
As long as he breaks through the Grand Master the moment he sees something is wrong, he can become invincible.
But there are no ifs in this world.
Thinking of these things, Qin Weishu suddenly burst into a low smile with unknown meaning.
What a pity.
If he didn’t agree to the old monster’s request when he came to Di’an City, it would be fine if he encountered him somewhere else.
Thoughts flashed through,
Qin Weishu gritted his teeth, grabbed the dust and forced his broken body up from the ground, and asked with a smile:
“Hey, aren’t you going to kill me?”
“Whether I kill you or not depends on whether the female catcher is willing to cooperate.”
A casual response came from the depths of the black mist: “As for now, you’d better not move.”
As the words fell,
Four spiritual swords shot out directly from the black mist with the sound of breaking through the air!
“Pfft!”
The four spiritual swords penetrated Qin Weishu’s limbs and pinned him firmly to the ground.
After doing this, Xu Yuan took the secret reconnaissance saber and came to the place where Xu Mengxi was unconscious.
Looking at the sleeping face of the female catcher with frowning eyebrows, Xu Yuan leaned down and slowly stretched out his palm.
“Pop.”
“Pop.”
A crisp sound came to his ears, and Xu Mengxi wanted to open his eyes, but the splitting headache and dizziness made this simple action extremely difficult.
The cold black mist was constantly billowing around her, and a blurry figure was crouching in front of her, as if she was being slapped on the face.
The blurred vision prevented her from seeing the other person’s face clearly, but she subconsciously felt that the other person was very familiar.
As the numb body sensation poured into his body like water flowing into a canal, the picture in front of him gradually became clearer.
The person in front of her also waved his palm in front of her eyes, and his voice came softly:
“Hello”
“Wake up.”
As soon as the words fell, there was another “pop” sound.
Xu Mengxi’s confused eyes narrowed as the voice reached her ears, and the other person seemed to be slapping her cheek again.
And this action also caused the figure in front of him to instantly overlap with a villain in his memory.
In an instant, Xu Mengxi raised her hand and grabbed the wrist of the man in front of her without any warning.
She grabbed it so hard that she could even hear the creaking sound of the bones rubbing against each other, as if she was afraid that the other person would run away.
“Xu Dutong, your way of thanking you is really special.”
The man’s voice came faintly, but the timbre was completely different from Xu Mengxi’s memory.
As the black mist surged around him, the memories before coma began to recover quickly.
No, she is still fighting!
The thought flashed across her mind, and Xu Mengxi suddenly turned over and jumped up. The sharp gaze in her beautiful eyes glanced around, but except for the black mist that surged from time to time, everything around her was so quiet.
His eyes fell on the man in front of him.
Looking at each other for a moment,
Xu Yuan smiled and lifted the wrist that Xu Mengxi was holding firmly and shook it in front of her:
“Although cultivators rarely say that men and women are not intimate, it still hurts to pinch you with Xu Dutong’s level of cultivation.”
“.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Mengxi let go of his hand in embarrassment, apologetically:
“I’m sorry. I mistook the young master for an old person from the past.”
How persistent is this woman for him? She still misses her even after she dies.
Cursing in his heart, Xu Yuan said half-jokingly:
“Xu Dutong’s reaction seems to be that he is afraid that he will run away?”
Xu Mengxi didn’t pay attention to the ridicule and replied truthfully:
“A villain who relies on family affairs to show no respect for the king. However, I do have some obsession with him. It’s a pity that I heard that he had been assassinated some time ago.”
After that, Xu Mengxi directly brought the topic back to the current situation:
“Sir, the situation is urgent. I wonder where Qin Weishu is now. Did he escape?”
Seeing this, Xu Yuan raised the blade in his hand and gestured slightly to Xu Mengxi:
“I just happened to tell you about this, Xu Dutong.”
Xu Mengxi’s eyes instantly locked on the tip of his sword.
There, soaked in traces of blood.
After a little hesitation, Xu Mengxi frowned and asked tentatively:
“This should be my saber, but this blood”
“Qin Weishu’s.” Xu Yuan answered simply.
Xu Mengxi’s pupils shrank, and the impact of the information caused Xu Mengxi’s mind to surge with many thoughts, and her tone became urgent:
“You killed him?!”
Xu Yuan looked stunned for a moment and asked pretending to be confused:
“This man openly attacked and killed an official in the street. Can’t he be killed?”
“You can kill, but…”
Xu Mengxi’s voice rose slightly, but suddenly stopped.
He pursed his lips and looked at the puzzled look in the brocade-robed young man’s eyes, feeling a little complicated.
According to the law, there is no penalty for helping an official and causing the death of a criminal, but according to the process, he still needs to be imprisoned pending trial.
And here lies the problem.
Qin Weishu was born in a sect family. Cases involving the life and death of the sect members could not be tried by Dali Temple, nor could the Ministry of Punishments. They had to be transferred to Xiancheng Pavilion for trial, and the prison where his killer was imprisoned was naturally also the prison of Xiancheng Pavilion. .
According to the consistent style of the officials in Xiancheng Pavilion, even if they are not guilty according to the law, once they are in, it will be difficult to get out, and it is easy to “suicide out of fear of crime” in prison.
But according to legal procedures, she must take this man back
Biting her silver teeth hard, Xu Mengxi looked around at the black mist blocking exploration, clenched her fists, raised her eyes, and said:
“Sir, you were involved in this to save me. Please don’t spread this matter to anyone.”
Saying that, Xu Mengxi opened her white palm, took the blade in Xu Yuan’s hand, and said quickly in a serious tone:
“Qin Weishu is from a sect family. To kill him, young master, you need to hand it over to Xiancheng Pavilion. They will never be kind. So I am the one who kills Qin Weishu today, not you. In this way, young master, you can just use Go to the prison of the Secret Investigation Department to await trial.”
After saying this series of explanations, Xu Mengxi’s serious eyes suddenly blinked, and then in Xu Yuan’s eyes, he looked at the blood-stained saber in his hand bit by bit.
No, no!
Why did this guy use her knife to kill Qin Weishu?
Pursing her lips, Xu Mengxi looked back with confusion:
“you do this delibrately?”
“.”
“.”
“Ah”
In the end, Xu Yuan broke the silence with a smile, straightened his clothes and whispered:
“Since Xu Dutong is willing to take the blame, I don’t have to waste any more words.”
“etc.”
Xu Mengxi grabbed Xu Yuan’s wrist again, and her soft voice dropped slightly:
“Since you have the energy to take my blade, Qin Weishu should have been seriously injured, so why do you want to kill him?”
Saying,
She glanced at the black fog floating around:
“Moreover, the aftermath that hit me just now was done intentionally by you, Master, right?”
The words fell,
Xu Yuan opened his mouth and was about to tell what he had prepared, when he saw Xu Mengxi in front of him suddenly taking action.
At any sign, Xu Mengxi suddenly grabbed Xu Yuan’s face.
The feeling when she first woke up made her heartbeat speed up unconsciously.
Although Xu Mengxi’s injuries were serious, his speed was still very fast, and Grand Master Qiji suddenly broke out in an instant.
Although Xu Yuan could vaguely see clearly, the incident happened suddenly and the gap between their cultivation levels meant that his body had no time to react.
He could use Tuxu Slash to hide, but he couldn’t use Tuxu Slash in front of Xu Mengxi.
Just as he leaned back slightly, the side of Xu Yuan’s face was already grasped by Xu Mengxi’s slender fingers.
Xu Mengxi gritted his teeth and his hands surged with energy:
“Xu Changtian, I knew it wouldn’t be that easy for you. Eh?”
“.”Xu Mengxi.
Xu Yuan frowned and looked at the female catcher who was pulling his face with her hands. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words:
“Xu Dutong, what are you doing?”
“.”Xu Mengxi.
“I, me, that”
Xu Mengxi’s red lips parted slightly, her face gradually turned red, and her sharp eyes instantly became erratic: “You and I… are just…”
“Don’t let go? It hurts a lot.”
“.”
Hearing this, Xu Mengxi quickly let go and took two steps back. The ponytail tied behind her head drew an arc in the air, and she bowed directly towards Xu Yuan at a 90-degree angle:
“I’m sorry! Master, I…I’m a little unconscious.”
Xu Yuan looked at the ponytail of the female catcher with her head lowered, her face was calm, but she was already cursing in his heart.
Damn, I was almost scared to death by this bitch.
Are all head-hunting instincts so accurate?
Fortunately, the quality of the human skin mask provided by my family did not cut corners.
I think so in my heart, but I still have to continue acting when I should.
Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to rub his slightly red face and spoke calmly:
“It seems that the third son of the prime minister is the old man that Xu Dutong misses, but I remember that he was assassinated not long ago. That Xu Gong killed many people for this reason years ago.”
“.”
Xu Mengxi lowered her head and said nothing, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her ears.
Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat the other person’s shoulder to signal that he didn’t care, but he resisted this subconscious habit, turned around, and said softly:
“Xu Dutong doesn’t need to worry about it. I’m not a fussy person. I’ll take you to Qin Weishu.”
After saying that, Xu Yuan walked towards Qin Weishu’s location.
Seeing this, Xu Mengxi sheathed her sword and followed quickly. After a little hesitation, she apologized and asked:
“I’m sorry. But can I ask the young master why you killed Qin Weishu since you had the energy to spare?”
“Who said I killed him?”
Xu Yuan did not look back and led the way, while saying softly:
“The Jiangnan Qin family is not easy to mess with. The cause and effect of killing him is too involved. Killing him for a momentary dispute would be a bit too much.”
“Did the young master knock him out?”
“No, I destroyed his Dantian.”
“.”Xu Mengxi.
Seeing that Xu Mengxi stopped talking, Xu Yuan turned his eyes and whispered:
“I didn’t want to be killed because of my mercy like you, so I just killed him.
“As for the soul skill that hit you earlier, it was indeed done by me, but it was done as a last resort. This person is very strong, and I have no time to care about him. I have already used my strength as much as possible.”
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan paused for a moment and suddenly smiled:
“Xu Dutong, you should take over the responsibility for the conflict I had with the second young master of the Qin family in order to save you, right?”
“.”
Xu Mengxi felt that the temperament of the brocade-robed young man in front of her was a bit awkward.
It’s a bit shameless, but it’s reasonable.
Both good and evil.
Feeling a little cursed in his heart, Xu Mengxi nodded and said softly:
“This is natural, but he may not necessarily identify Qin Weishu as me.”
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and looked back at the woman behind him deeply.
There was murderous intent in his black eyes.
Seeing this look, Xu Mengxi immediately became alert and said:
“Sir, although you saved me, since Qin Weishu is not dead now, he needs to be judged by the law.”
“I haven’t said anything yet, right? Why do you assume that I want to kill him?”
Xu Yuan shook his head and reminded:
“I just wanted to ask you what you can do. I’m not familiar with Great Yan’s laws, so I don’t know if there are any loopholes that can be exploited.”
Xu Mengxi felt relaxed after hearing this, and subconsciously followed the other person’s words for a moment, and suddenly said softly:
“There is a way, but the certainty is not high.”
“What?” Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Xu Mengxi subconsciously raised her hand and touched the soft ponytail on the back of her head, and said reluctantly:
“Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
“Huh? What does this matter have to do with the Prime Minister’s Mansion?”
“Young Master may not be aware that a major case occurred in Jingjiang Mansion during the Beginning of Autumn more than two years ago.”
Xu Mengxi said simply: “That incident caused a lot of hatred between the Prime Minister’s Office and the Qin family.”
Speaking of this, Xu Mengxi subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the expression on the other side. After seeing that the other person’s expression was as usual, he continued:
“Our biggest problem now is actually that Qin Weishu comes into contact with people from the Qin family and tells you what you have done. All we have to do is drag him to the City Defense Department and my colleagues from the Secret Investigation Department, and we will go directly without giving him a chance to contact the outside world. Take him back to prison.
“The Prime Minister’s Office will definitely find a way to get involved if they know about this. When the time comes, Qin Weishu will probably never be able to get out of prison again.”
An imperceptible surprise flashed across Xu Yuan’s eyes when he heard this.
The events behind the Jingjiang Mansion incident are all secrets in the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Where did this woman get this information?
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan said in a sad tone:
“I have heard about the changes in Jingjiang Mansion. Xu Xiangguo’s mansion in Jingjiang was completely destroyed, but I didn’t expect that there was such a secret behind it.”
“I only learned about this not long ago.”
Speaking of this, Xu Mengxi’s eyes drooped slightly:
“If I hadn’t known that the Prime Minister’s Mansion had a grudge against the Qin family, I wouldn’t have come here to arrest Qin Weishu.”
Someone specifically told Xu Mengxi the news
After finding out when Qin Weishu came to Beijing, it was as if he wanted Xu Mengxi to arrest him.
and,
Today seems to be quite a coincidence.
Qin Weishu happened to bump into Mu Zhiyun, a wealthy lady, who was out getting custom tattoos in Huaijiu Lane today.
Keeping this information secretly in mind, Xu Yuanshun asked:
“Why?”
After a moment of silence, Xu Mengxi tightened her grip on the knife handle at her waist, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, but the smile was a little astringent:
“Sir, if I don’t rely on the power of the prime minister’s office, even if I arrest Qin Weishu, he will be released in a few days.”
The words fell,
Xu Yuan looked at the other party’s complicated expression and did not answer any more.
It wasn’t until he came to the pothole where Qin Weishu was that his voice came faintly.
It seemed like a murmur, but also like an advice:
“Xu Dutong understood that flexibility is not something to be ashamed of.
“The justice served by killing someone with a borrowed knife is also justice.”
