Jian Cangfeng laughed mockingly, “Don’t know?

Does that mean disciples of our Formless Divine Sect, as long as they’re not ‘Vengeance Candidates,’ can freely be framed and manipulated by you all?”

The Inspector Xiahou Yuan didn’t know how to reply and could only cup his fists and say, “I wouldn’t dare!

This time, I was misled and deceived by others.”

In reality, the uprising and slaughter of government soldiers in Xiushui that Chu Xisheng incited were true, and there was no issue with the charges against him.

But how could he dare to argue in front of Grand Elder Qingxuzi?

Upon hearing this, Qingxuzi remained indifferent as before, neither confirming nor denying.

Jian Cangfeng shook his head slightly, “I just want to know, how is the matter with Junior Brother Chu to be resolved?”

It was then that Governor Wang Sheng, with ‘good intentions,’ reminded, “Brother Xiahou, you may not be aware, but Young Flag Master Chu is the Deputy Captain of the Imperial Guard from the Earth Court Jin Yiwei.

He was ordered by Jinyi Thousand Households Cao Xuan of Xiushui County to infiltrate the Iron Banner Gang in order to investigate Sikong Chan’s collusion with Inner Court Eunuchs and many scholars of Xiushui County in a conspiracy to revolt.

Now the evidence is conclusive, and the truth has come to light.”

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Yuan was stunned, and then a cold chill ran through his bones, raising goosebumps all over his body.

He thought, what a way for the Formless Divine Sect to turn black into white, shooting back the arrow!

He had thought that the objective of the Formless Divine Sect this time was merely to remove Chu Xisheng’s name from the Black List and quell the turmoil in Xiushui County.

But he hadn’t expected that their intention was to put Sikong Chan and all the scholars of Xiushui County to death!

Xiahou Yuan was also worried about his own safety, thinking that if Sikong Chan were plotting treason…

Then what about his own family, who recently had considerable financial dealings with Sikong Chan, would they be considered accessories to the crime?

Xiahou Yuan couldn’t help but break out in more cold sweat, which soaked through his heavy clothes.

He thought that the Grand Elder Qingxu was truly worthy of the Divine Sect’s way, so utterly ruthless—

As Xiahou Yuan hesitated, Xiushui County Magistrate Xiahou Dong suddenly spoke up behind him, “Mr.

Governor, Governor Sikong Chan is indeed undoubtedly plotting a rebellion.

When I first took office in Xiushui County several months ago, I had already sensed something abnormal with Sikong Chan.

I dealt with him indirectly and have already obtained some evidence of his conspiracy.

In fact, he is a part of Princess Li’s faction, plotting a rebellion in secret to overturn the verdict for Princess Li.

All our actions before were to deceive Sikong Chan.”

The moment Inspector Xiahou Yuan heard this, he felt a sense of relief, thinking that Xiahou Dong, that bastard, still had some quick wit to disentangle the Xiahou family from this major case of conspiracy.

The question now was whether Qingxuzi and Jian Cangfeng would accept this explanation.

“So it is.”

A smile finally appeared on Jian Cangfeng’s face; “Lord County Governor has borne the weight of humiliation, that seems reasonable, but what about this person then?

He’s called Xiahou Shen, right?”

Jian Cangfeng looked toward Xiahou Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of profound meaning: “Surely he can’t also be Lord Xiahou’s planted agent to investigate Sikong Chan, right?

It is said that he has deep connections with Sikong Chan, has taken a lot of Silver Coin from him, and has even gone to great lengths to plead on behalf of Sikong Chan?”

Inspector Xiahou Yuan felt agonizing pain in his heart, but he knew that if they didn’t give the Formless Divine Sect an explanation today, they wouldn’t get past this.

He clasped his hands together and bowed, “This scourge may be disposed of by the Formless Divine Sect as you wish!”

Jian Cangfeng’s lips curled up slightly, turning to Chu Xisheng, “Little Junior Brother, what do you think?”

Chu Xisheng understood in his heart, knowing that Jian Cangfeng was giving him the authority to deal with this person as a way to vent his anger.

Chu Xisheng was also unequivocal, lowering his head to blow on the steam rising from his teacup, “I am troubled, Mr.

Governor, for the use of some men to find a place to bury this person!”

This person had already offended him once, and there are things you can only do once, not a second time.

Xiahou Shen’s pupils widened in anger, he looked up in disbelief at Chu Xisheng.

Bury him?

Did they want to bury him alive in the ground?

How could this guy dare?

Xiahou Shen then looked toward his own father and saw Inspector Xiahou Yuan remain silent.

He still bowed his body slightly, appearing extremely humble.

Suddenly, Xiahou Shen was seized by an extreme terror that tightly grasped his heart; he abruptly stood up, instinctively wanting to burst out cursing, but Jian Cangfeng had already sent a Sword Qi his way, instantly shattering his teeth and grinding his tongue into dust.

The force of the Sword Qi also sent Xiahou Shen flying several meters, leaving him paralyzed on the ground.

And just moments later, several burly and robust servants hurriedly walked into the tea room from the outside, forcibly dragged Xiahou Shen out of the room, leaving a trail of blood behind.
