Chapter 54 Death Order

"Alright, alright, look at how drunk you are," Su's mother said unhappily, "You are the head of the family, and you have to go to the family's important consultation tomorrow."

As she said that, she turned her head and looked at Madam Qian and said, "Help him back quickly and rest early."

Mrs. Qian quickly stood up and agreed, and helped the drunk and complacent Su Xianwen leave. After the two of them left, Su's mother turned her head and looked at Su Xianyi again. Seeing her little son looking around and scratching his head, she rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think you don't have to leave, so you're thinking about drinking and fishing again?"

As she said that, she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Get lost."

"How could that be possible?" Su Xianyi gave a dry laugh and denied it, but he got up quickly and walked out the door happily in two or three steps.

Mother Su sighed, waved her hand, and asked Xi Que to lead the maid out of the room. Then she turned to look at Madam Jiang and Madam Liu and asked, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Jiang asked, "Madam, what do you mean..."

Mother Su frowned and said, "First of all, the deaths of those children of the Mi family must have hidden reasons. It is unlikely that someone of Mr. Xie's status would have done it."

Madam Jiang and Madam Liu looked at each other and nodded quickly. When it came to this matter, it wasn't just them who had doubts in their hearts, perhaps everyone in the city had doubts?

It's just that no one dared to ask.

You know, if it was just to save people, with Xie Xunbai's strength and means, there was no need to alert others. Even if the situation was special at that time, it would be very easy to control those Mi family members. These young people neither posed a threat to him nor had any hatred against him.

Even if the Mi family colluded with the demon cultivators, these young disciples might not have participated. No matter how you look at it, Xie Xunbai didn't need to do such a cruel thing.

After all, the greatest enemies of mankind are the You Clan, the Crazy Puppets, the possessed Demon Cultivators and the alien species. And every talented young man may become a new force to resist the You Clan in the future.

"Secondly, although the Mi family was convicted before," Su's mother frowned more and more tightly, "but think carefully about what Mr. Xie said. Didn't you find that although he arrested Mi Ye, he didn't actually confirm it on the spot, and there are even mysteries in his words..."

"Oh?" Mrs. Jiang looked curious. When she saw Su Daoshan coming back safely, her heart and eyes were full of her son, so how could she pay attention to anything else?

As for her mother-in-law, she knew how powerful she was. Although the old lady stayed in the courtyard all day, looking old and dim-sighted and not concerned with worldly affairs, and even a little confused, there were not many things that could be truly hidden from her.

Mother Su pondered and said slowly: "I remember that Mr. Xie told Zhu Ziming that he came here to vent his anger for his nephew Fan Caiyi, so he swept a lot of refugee camps along the way. He also took the opportunity to take care of the various cities in Beijun. However, he killed his way here, captured some people and asked them, and then he found out that there was another secret behind the scenes. In order to find out the people behind the scenes and eliminate all the evil, he quietly entered the city last night..."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu both nodded. They had indeed heard what Su's mother had said, repeating it almost word for word.

Su's mother continued, "Later, I heard him say that he was originally going to visit the city lord today, but he unexpectedly saw someone in Yuji City, under the banner of the city guard, openly attacking the children of the noble families in the city, and his behavior was arrogant and domineering. So he was indignant and became a nosy guest..."

At this point, Su's mother laughed and said, "Now think carefully, is there a sentence in these words that clearly proves that Mi Ye is the person behind the scenes?"

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu were both stunned and looked at each other in shock.

Su's mother said, "He said he arrested some people and questioned them, but he didn't say anyone confessed that it was the Mi family. Besides, if he wanted to find the Mi family when he entered the city last night, why didn't he go? Even today, he saved Daoshan because he saw someone openly kidnapping children of aristocratic families under the banner of the city guards, breaking the rules, so he took action.

“In fact, there is nothing in his words that clearly proves that the Mi family is in collusion with the demonic cultivators. It’s just that when we first heard him say that, since he came here to arrest people, and everyone saw that he had arrested Mi Ye, they unconsciously linked the two together and thought that the Mi family was the one behind the scenes…”

The more Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu listened, the more they savored the story and their mouths gradually opened wider.

"It seems to be the case..." Mrs. Jiang murmured.

Madam Liu hesitated and said, "Madam, it sounds reasonable, but could it be that we are overthinking it? Didn't Mi Xiang confess before?"

"This is another puzzling point," Su's mother glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "Mr. Xie has already arrested Mi Ye, so the evidence must be solid. Why bother trying Mi Xiang again?"

She said leisurely, "Mi Xiang was thrown to the ground at that time, but his Qi Sea and Lingtai were sealed, and he remained unconscious. Given his personality, was it too late for him to confess, or did he not confess at all?"

# # #
"This Mi family is actually colluding with the evil sect..." On the platform behind the second floor of the courtyard, Xie Xunbai folded a confession and put it in his arms. He turned his head to look at Su Daoshan and said unhappily, "This way, I don't have to bear the stigma of wrongly accusing others."

Su Daoshan looked at the brightly lit Sujiabao and pretended not to hear.

Why did Mi Ye risk kidnapping himself to exchange Mi Xiang back? When the Su family's Jinse Town business was attacked, why did they point to refugees and bandits, and why did so many crazy puppets come? In addition, the Mi family's business outside the city has been so prosperous in recent years...

It’s easy to tell that there must be something wrong with Mi Home.

It was just that I didn't have any solid evidence at the time. And I didn't expect that after I mentioned it casually in the ear room, the fifth elder of Han Valley would go straight into the Mi family and arrest Mi Ye without saying a word.

Mi Ye certainly didn't confess. Even if Xie Xunbai said he came from Doghead Fort, he still didn't confess. And at that time, the situation really couldn't afford any more delays. So in the Triple Tower, Xie Xunbai, the principled Fifth Elder, sealed Mi Ye's Qi Sea and Lingtai, and then said those words vaguely. On the surface, it seemed casual and free, seamless, but in fact, everyone who heard it was worried about him.

But Mi Ye could hold on, but Mi Xiang couldn't.

They shot the target first and then drew the circle. Mi Xiang was in the carriage, but he didn't understand. Seeing that Mi Ye had surrendered and Zhou Gaoyuan was also suppressed, he collapsed. After coming back for trial, he confessed everything.

In this way, when Xie Xunbai and Zhu Ziming meet tomorrow, everything will be in order. The measures that have been taken will of course continue. Whether it is the Zhou family or the Mi family, they will be dealt with as they should be. This is the common will of all major forces.

And Xie Xunbai himself doesn't have to feel any psychological burden.

After all, it is a righteous sect.

Maybe they have some grudges, and they will kill their opponents no matter they are righteous or evil, without too many moral scruples. But the Mi family is a family of 2,000 people after all, and in the next few months, some will be annexed, some will be imprisoned, some will die, and some will be exiled.

This is somewhat beyond the bottom line of the orthodox sect.

After all, it wasn't him who had a grudge against the Mi family.

Of course, in Su Daoshan's view, Xie Xunbai was just taking advantage of the opportunity.

At that time, he broke into the Mi family and grabbed Mi Ye so easily, just like an eagle catching a chick, and he didn't seem to have any psychological struggle.

Su Daoshan suspected that if the Mi family had nothing to do with the collusion between the demons, this guy might not only not have much psychological burden, but might even feel better. The more he went against justice for the Su family, the more he owed him and his master.
I guess that's what he thought at the time?

So now that he had the confession, he didn't seem to be relieved, but instead brought it up again in a gloomy tone. His tone was more like he was unwilling to give up than relieved.

However, it seems that this person, who is the direct disciple of Han Gu and whose master is not even sure yet, is indeed of some importance!

Xie Xunbai looked at Su Daoshan.

The young man's pretty maids were all in the front yard, and there were only him and himself on the platform behind the second floor of the small building.

Without the presence of others, the boy seemed a little casual.

No longer that dignified and solemn look.

The brightly lit Sujiabao was reflected in his eyes, filling those clear and shining eyes with curiosity and fascination.

Over the years, this was still the most interesting and special boy Xie Xunbai had ever seen. It was hard for him to understand that this boy, who was so smart, decisive and talented, had always pretended to be a silly nerd... What kind of bad taste was this?

"Unless it is a life-and-death situation, don't reveal your identity as a super warrior." Xie Xunbai turned around and looked into the distance, admonishing.

"Ah."

"Cai Yi should have told you that this Wen Dao seed was something that our sect had been planning for a long time and had spent a lot of effort to obtain. It was originally for a very important matter. But unexpectedly, it was merged by you. If you haven't passed the nurturing period, or if you haven't comprehended reading, I won't mention it. Now... you may have to go with Cai Yi in a few days."

"it is good."

"Then there's the master's side. You have to find a way to get through so that the master has a reason to accept you. The county exam will be in two days. I'll casually mention it to Zhu Ziming when we're chatting to pave the way. But no matter what, you have to get first place in this county exam."

"what?"

"Shut up, this is a death order!"

"But……"

"You don't really think that the Su family will be safe after passing this level, do you? Only after entering the Cold Valley will the Su family be truly stable! Besides, even if you want to pretend to be stupid, it has nothing to do with your display of ordinary martial arts strength. Who says that nerds don't have literary talent? You have read more books than others..."

"I see...but..."

"What else?"

"But if you do that, it will arouse suspicion. You won't be able to take the blame for killing Mi Luo and his men."

"what?"

"My Lord... My Lord... Why are you leaving just like that?"

"You haven't had your tea yet!"
