Lin Xi, covered in sweat and with a few minor sword wounds, walked to a small pier by the river.

As early as when he was in Beicang Cave, he could see that although Chen Feirong's soul power was very different from Liu Bo's, it still had the strength to fight. He knew that Chen Feirong must have something to offer.

place.

For him, whose cultivation level has improved, Liu Bo is still too strong, but Chen Feirong is an excellent training partner, which can put him in extreme danger at any time without leaving him without any chance.

Power.

Today's practice has indeed brought him great benefits. The sharpening of martial arts is secondary, and the more important thing is his heart.

Pain and injury can affect a person's reaction and judgment. As early as Qingluan's trial valley, Lin Xi already knew that some severe pain can even cause serious consequences such as vomiting and fainting, while some are less severe.

The pain will also consume a lot of the practitioner's physical strength.

If his will was strong enough to forget a certain degree of pain, then his performance in passing those bronze palaces in the Valley of Trials would probably be even better.

However, he is also very clear that there is no shortcut to the cultivation of this kind of will and quality.

Lin Xi's body was extremely exhausted at this moment, and he felt as if he had turned into a sponge that kept dripping water. But he knew that his energy had not reached its limit, so he looked at the deep river in front of him, preparing to wait for him.

After the sweat was almost gone, he walked into the Xizi River with a big stone in his arms, walked to the dark bottom of the river, and once again sharpened his mind in the great horror between life and death.

At this moment, he saw several officials from Yanlai Town running towards him quickly.

…

At about this time, an interesting conversation was taking place in the Tangzang Palace with butter lamps burning.

The two parties in the dialogue seemed to be weak, but almost all the practitioners in Tang and Tibet knew about the terrifying man who walked out of the water prison in Qingluan Academy, and the bald monk Yunhai in white who walked out of Prajna Temple.

The man looked intently at Yunhai, a young bald monk in white. Yunhai looked a little shy and lowered his head unconsciously.

"Are you really good at it?" The man finally couldn't help but question.

Yun Hai became even more shy, with a little blush on his face, and said: "It's really possible... Senior brother also said that I can do it."

The man was speechless: "Why does your senior brother think you can do it?"

The bald monk blinked his bright black eyes, looked at the man and said, "Because senior brother said that the two of us and Mr. Gu are actually the same person."

The man glanced at him and said, "How about the same?"

The bald monk clapped his fingers habitually and said: "Senior brother said... some people are cruel and can only be cruel to others, but Mr. Gu is also cruel to himself, because most people have been locked up in the water prison for so many years, just looking at their own bodies

I am afraid that the rotten body has gone crazy, and no matter how high the cultivation level is, it will die, but Mr. Gu has survived well, and he is not crazy. Therefore, Mr. Gu is so powerful that he can no longer cultivate with his current body and soul power.

It’s all a matter of measurement. As for senior brother and I, we both practice Prajna Zen and self-forgetfulness. We only have heaven and earth in our eyes, only others, and no ourselves, so we can’t measure it by the soul power we see.”

The man pondered for a moment, looked at Yunhai, and said: "Your senior brother has never seen me. Apart from not liking to talk to others, are you afraid that I will make a move on him?"

"I really don't know about this." Yunhai said with a sad face: "Everyone in our Prajna Temple doesn't know what weird thoughts are in their heads, how could I know."

"Thank you." The man glanced at the sky outside the window, "I can go and take his head in two days."

Yunhai became happy and smiled brightly: "You're welcome."

…

…

As time passed, there were more and more cars and horses in front of Mu Chenyun's house.

Ever since he was placed under "house arrest pending investigation", almost all officials were keenly aware of something about it.

Naturally, these officials could not think of the Holy Emperor on the Dragon Throne. They just thought that the backstage behind Mu Chenyun must be very big, and maybe it was one of the nine-life elders.

If we don't directly torture him to extract a confession, but start from other aspects, how much can we find out about him?

This kind of treatment may not be settled until the end of the investigation. The possibility of a comeback cannot be ruled out. With the possibility of a comeback, Mu Chenyun will still be of great value to many officials.

Zheng Qingshan, the fifth-grade guard of Donglin Province, also came to Mu Chenyun's house in a low-key manner, wanting to offer some gifts to express her feelings and leave some impression on Mu Chenyun's heart.

But before he, who was wearing casual clothes and sitting in a carriage, could let his two followers go to accommodate him, he heard the sound of several fierce horses galloping towards him.

Seeing these fierce horses rushing straight towards the private house without slowing down, and the sound of iron hoofs hitting the gravel road disturbing the tranquility of the village, his thick eyebrows frowned in displeasure, but when he saw clearly

The officer's official uniform and face appeared on a galloping horse, but his expression changed, he shrunk slightly, and quickly asked his followers to drive the carriage to the roadside and wait, without making any unnecessary movements.

The two galloping horses at the head were two officials from the Criminal Division.

One of the middle-aged men, who had an extremely serious face and seemed to owe him a lot of money, was Xiao Tieleng, the third-rank inspector of the Criminal Division.

In Donglin Province, he has a nickname, called the Iron-faced Judge.

The three riders behind were Lin Xi, Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan.

The three of them were very silent.

Lin Xi looked at the large house on the outskirts of the city that was getting closer and closer. She saw that this large house and the provincial capital not far away were completely different from the affluent atmosphere of the Bingling town. She also saw Zheng Qingshan's carriage and Mu Chenyun's house.

The careless concierge and servants at the door made him even more aware that this so-called house arrest was not that strict.

Xiao Tieleng, the third-rank inspector of the Criminal Division, stopped in front of Mu Chenyun's house. He dismounted first and walked directly into the house without saying a word.

The transcriber behind him immediately nodded nervously to Lin Xi and the others, and immediately followed.

Lin Xi glanced at Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan, and said softly: "Go in and take a look before talking." Then she followed them quietly.

An official in civilian clothes who was waiting in the house came up to them, directly led Xiao Tieleng, Lin Xi and others to a room, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open.

A strong medicinal smell wafted out, and Lin Xi frowned slightly. He saw Mu Chenyun sitting on the soft couch.

For the first time, he saw the true face of this man clearly. He was a thin man, about forty years old, with a long, pointed face, clean face and no beard. Even his eyebrows were very light, due to a large amount of blood loss.

His face looked extremely pale and haggard, but even so, there was a coldness about him that could not be shaken off, especially his cold and helpless eyes, which made Lin Xi think of an injured poisonous snake for the first time.

.

Even if there was no previous incident, Lin Xi would probably be very unhappy when she saw this person for the first time.

However, Mu Chenyun didn't seem to have any intention of making him like him. The moment he saw him, Bian Linghan, and Jiang Xiaoyi, he had already guessed the identities of these three people, so his cold and helpless eyes

, and then unabashedly revealed a naked murderous intention and a threatening and oppressive intention.

"Master Xiao, I'm injured and can't get up, so I won't be polite."

Mu Chenyun looked at Lin Xi and the others, and suddenly spoke coldly, "I wonder what the purpose of Mr. Xiao's visit this time is?"

"Thirteen heavy armors of heavenly demons have alarmed the Holy One. According to the Holy One's decree, I will bring the three people who wrote the letter to accuse you, ask some questions in person, and make a record for future reference." Xiao Tieleng nodded slightly and said without any emotion.

"So it's you three who slandered me?" Mu Chenyun nodded, looking at Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, Jiang Xiaoyi sneered.

"Are we slandering you?" When Jiang Xiaoyi looked at the provocative gaze of this cold man with very light eyebrows, he could no longer bear it. When he heard this sentence, his nails dug heavily into his palms.

, all the blood in his body rushed to his head instantly, "Mu Chenyun, I don't know who is covering you, but you tell such lies with your eyes open, don't you think it's too shameless?"

"Let's not get into a verbal quarrel first."

Xiao Tieleng looked at Mu Chenyun and Jiang Xiaoyi expressionlessly and said, "Lin Xi, Jiang Xiaoyi, and Bian Linghan, the three of you saw you when you robbed the carriage in Beicang Cave.

What is the face of the criminal mentioned? Is it the same as the one you see now?"

Bian Linghan took half a step forward and said coldly: "He was wearing a human skin mask at that time, but his voice was the same as now."

Xiao Tieleng nodded and turned to look at her, Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi: "Do you have any direct physical evidence about him? What was obtained from Beicang Cave at that time is enough to prove that he is Master Mu?"

Jiang Xiaoyi said angrily: "If he goes to do that kind of thing, how could he have anything on him that reveals his identity?"

Xiao Tieleng remained expressionless and said: "Then there are only witnesses."

"Master Mu, do you know these three people? Do you usually have any grudges with them?" He no longer asked Lin Xi and others, but turned to look at Mu Chenyun and asked.

Mu Chenyun sneered and said: "With my status, how could I know these three low-level officials? If we talk about grudges... I heard that the Military Supervisory Office and Lin Xi had a dispute before. Could it be that this will also be directed at me?

?”

Lin Xi frowned and tugged at the corner of Jiang Xiaoyi's clothes who couldn't help but curse again.

"Master Xiao, you specially called us here just to ask this kind of question?" But Bian Linghan couldn't bear it anymore. She looked at Xiao Tieleng coldly and said: "Such an obvious thing... If you want to let go

If you pass this person, there is no need to make any excuses from us."

Xiao Tieleng's brows twitched and he said, "I've already finished what I wanted to ask."

"You can go back." Mu Chenyun looked at the three of them with snake-like eyes, but sneered: "Or do you think calling you here is of any use? It's an obvious thing?... You are also officials of Yunqin after all.

, you must at least understand that Yunqin Law does not rely on obviousness or lack of obviousness to decide a case, but relies on evidence."

Jiang Xiaoyi controlled himself not to act out of line, but he could no longer control his anger. His voice trembled slightly and he said: "Isn't the knife wound on your back considered evidence? Is it true that so many of us have

Testimony, doesn’t it count as evidence?”

Mu Chenyun coughed and exhaled some bloody smell from his mouth, but when he looked at Jiang Xiaoyi, he seemed to be looking at a poor creature, "My knife wound was caused by an assassin. Can you prove that it was caused by you guys in Beicang Cave?"

Beheaded? Do you know what evidence of cronyism is? What use is your testimony alone to a second-grade official? Trading with Da Mang practitioners... From all the people around me to all my mansions.

After checking, there is no evidence. As for witnesses, I have many people testifying about my whereabouts in the past few days, proving that I did not go to Beicang Cave at all... Also, what kind of cultivation level do you have? You can't even be hurt.

Me, that’s really ridiculous. If you hadn’t really intercepted the thirteen heavy armors of the heavenly demons, you would have done a great job, otherwise I’m afraid you would have been punished because of your false evidence to frame me!”

"Also." Mu Chenyun looked at Jiang Xiaoyi, who was getting paler and paler, with a more mocking look on his face: "Even if you say you saw my face and said it was me, it is useless at all, because
To be continued...
