Chapter 21 Cross-examination
Yi Sanliu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, General Li has already withdrawn the order himself, and summoned the captain and several lieutenants to give them a good scolding!"
He lowered his voice even more: " Captain Shi was also transferred and sent to the Sujing Division in Xia County, Nanzhou. It is said that he was reprimanded by General Li for his delay and failure to act effectively, which destroyed the prestige of the Sujing Division. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to come back."
"this……"
Jiang Zhou was stunned.
His intuition told him that this matter might be related to him.
Wujun had suffered such a great disaster, and he was indeed worried that he and Yan Xiaowu would be the target of anger from the higher-ups.
After all, no matter what, the direct trigger of this incident was that he killed Hong Ni.
Not to mention that he was the only one holding the knife, even though Yan Xiaowu claimed that he had someone higher up, he might not be able to withstand such pressure.
This is indeed the case, and I really intend to hold him accountable.
But now, not only did this matter seem to have passed easily, but Shi Feng had also been transferred away.
Could it be exposed?
Do those people know that Taiyi Wuyanluo was created by him?
No, it shouldn't be possible.
Wu Yan Luo can isolate all things and conceal his aura. Even if they have extraordinary powers, they should not be able to find him.
After that night, Jiang Zhou's confidence in Wu Yanluo was overflowing.
How could it be so easy to make the knowledgeable and experienced knife-wielder and the people of Wujun regard him as an immortal?
Yi Sanliu suddenly nudged him with his elbow and asked mysteriously, "Hey, tell me, is there really someone on your head?"
Jiang Zhou was at a loss for words.
He looked up and found that the knife-wielding men around him had stopped talking at some point and were glancing over here.
At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears.
“…”
I have hair on my head!
Jiang Zhou said speechlessly: "Do you think if I have someone above me, I would be the one to hold the knife? Am I tired of living?"
"That... is true." Yi Sanliu scratched his head.
For those who hold the knife, it is a helpless choice because they cannot survive.
If there is even a glimmer of hope, no one wants to be one.
What's more, does he have connections with the higher-ups?
Suddenly, a demon patrol guard ran in sweating profusely. He took a few glances and found Jiang Zhou in the crowd. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Ding Wuyi! Quick! General Li wants to summon you!"
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Pairs of eyes turned toward him.
Yi Sanliu glared at him and said: You still say that you have no one above you?
“…”
Jiang Zhou glared back: I really didn’t!
Yi Sanliu patted his shoulder and said with a look that said "I understand": "It's okay, you don't have to say anything more."
“…”
Under the urging of the demon patrol guards, Jiang Zhou didn't care whether there was a person or hair on his head.
The demon patrol guards arrived at the stone peak again.
This time, it went straight to the top.
The demon patrol guard took him up the mountain and told him that no one was allowed to set foot on the top of the mountain without a summons. He looked at him with a rather intriguing look and left.
When Jiang Zhou reached the top of the mountain, the scene he saw was completely different from what he had imagined.
It lacks the majesty and gloom of the Sujing Division at all.
On the several acres of land, there is only a simple thatched house, a small courtyard, a few trees, a stone platform and three or two stone benches.
A man was sitting on the edge of a stone platform, holding a scroll and facing him sideways.
The facial features are as hard as chiseled.
He was dressed in black, very neatly, without even a wrinkle to be seen.
Her black hair was tied up on top of her head with a black iron hoop, meticulously.
There are teapots, teacups and other items on the stone platform, arranged very neatly.
Jiang Zhou could see clearly that there was a black plum blossom engraved on each of the teapots and teacups. Each black plum blossom was facing the same direction, and even the angles were exactly the same.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder + mysophobia.
Jiang Zhou immediately drew a conclusion about the man in black.
"Your subordinate Jiang Zhou greets General Jing Yao."
He naturally knew that this person was the number one person in Nanzhou Sujingsi, Li Xuance.
"Subordinates?"
Li Xuance didn't even raise his head. He drank a sip of tea slowly, then said coldly, "A mere knife-wielder, a lowly servant, are you qualified to call yourself my subordinate?"
He paused, raised his eyelids and squinted: "Also, why don't you kneel when you see me?"
When Jiang Zhou was swept by this gaze, the hairs on his body suddenly stood up, as if he was being stared at by some ancient ferocious beast.
Fine cold sweat instantly broke out on the forehead and back.
The pressure like a mountain made him unable to control himself and his knees began to bend unconsciously.
It’s not just because the aura is terrifying, as powerful as a mountain.
It is also because of the strict hierarchy of Daji.
Whether in terms of strength or status, Jiang Zhou and the other party are worlds apart.
"snort."
At this moment, Li Xuance hummed softly, and Jiang Zhou suddenly felt his body and mind relax. An invisible force was like an iron wall, gently hitting him, causing him pain, but his already bent back and knees also straightened up.
"If you don't want to kneel, don't force yourself. I won't use force against a man holding a knife."
Li Xuance closed the book, placed it upright on the stone table, and carefully smoothed out the creases with his hands.
Then he turned his head and said, "Jiang Zhou, do you admit your guilt?"
Jiang Zhou lowered his head hastily: "Jiang Zhou doesn't know what the general means."
This time, Li Xuance did not use his aura to overwhelm others, as if he was talking about family matters, but Jiang Zhou still felt frightened.
Could it be that the fact that he was the witch's "undercover" was exposed?
Li Xuance sneered: "Do you want to quibble?"
"Jiang Zhou doesn't dare."
Jiang Zhou's heart suddenly calmed down: "If the general says I am guilty, then I am guilty, and if not, then I am also guilty."
The smile on Li Xuance's face turned colder. "Haha, are you saying that I am using my power to bully you and deliberately wrong you? Do you deserve it?"
Jiang Zhou turned his head away without saying anything, his face showing just the right amount of stubbornness and resentment.
He seemed to be of strong character and didn't want to argue any more.
In fact, he knew that he might have many flaws, but he didn't understand where he had revealed the flaws.
But he knew that Li Xuance's purpose was definitely not to hold him accountable.
If the other party really found some " evidence" of his guilt, then it would be useless for him to argue.
Furthermore, if Su Jingsi wanted to touch him, he only needed to send a demon patrol guard to capture him. He had no ability to resist at all.
Not only did it not happen, Shi Feng was demoted because he wanted to touch him.
The great General Jingyao even summoned him in person.
To ask for guilt?
I think too highly of him.
Therefore, it is possible that Li Xuance was deceiving him.
Although the Taiyi Five Smoke Net can block out all things, it cannot block out people’s hearts.
There are many things that you don't need to see with your own eyes, you can get the results by just going over them in your mind.
To sum it up in one word: guess.
"What? Are you still feeling wronged?"
Seeing Jiang Zhou like this, Li Xuance not only did not get angry, but the lines on his originally cold face suddenly became much softer.
The sneer turned into an amused smile: "How dare you act like this in front of me, Jiang Zhou, you are indeed not an ordinary refugee."
Jiang Zhou's eyes moved slightly.
Sorry, I'm undercover...
Of course, even though he really had no intention of being an undercover agent for the witch, this kind of thing was like having yellow mud in his crotch, which was either shit or shit...
