I come to see Bai Yujing today
Chapter 147 Who said to endure?
Chapter 147 Who said to endure?
This originally exquisite and quiet courtyard has been ruined.
Two courtyard walls collapsed, and most of the house was half destroyed. The landscaping in the courtyard, which had cost many craftsmen the painstaking efforts, was now in a horrible state, and the garden was also in a mess.
Chen Zhian looked around, and the more he looked, the angrier he became.
He is the owner of this courtyard now, and it is the only place he can stay in Xuantianjing. However, such a reckless person broke in for no reason and destroyed most of this courtyard.
He looked down with anger, and the man died before he could answer Chen Zhian.
Chen Zhian frowned and looked carefully for a few times, and found that the man in black had broken his own Yuan Guan, and died decisively and resolutely without any hesitation.
Of course he knew the reason.
This is the imperial city, the place where the royal family lives. Coming here to assassinate is a huge crime.
If he didn't die here, he would be sent to the Inspectorate later, where he would lose several layers of skin and suffer dozens of times more pain than this.
In addition, since this man dared to come to the imperial city to assassinate, there must be a reason that could make him lose his life.
With the combination of these two factors, this innately perfect cultivator decided to stay in this courtyard.
Chen Zhian was angry for a while, then his expression gradually returned to normal, and he carefully memorized the man's face.
At this time, several teams of guards had arrived not far away. A general who was guarding the imperial city was standing outside the gate. Two Xiezhi servants wearing Xiezhi-eating-flying-fish patched robes came with swords, walked through the scattered bricks and stones, and stepped into the messy courtyard.
Chen Zhian turned around and looked, and couldn't help but smile.
Chen Zhian was quite familiar with one of these two Xiezhi envoys. He was Si Zhuozhi, who was chopped away by him with a sword in the court room of the Inspectorate before.
The other person next to Si Zhuozhi had a similar facial feature to Si Zhuozhi. It should be another Xiezhi envoy of the Si family in the Inspectorate, named Si Qi.
Si Zhuozhi and Si Qi walked over and saw Chen Zhian standing in front of the corpse of the man in black. There was surprise in their eyes, but their expressions were different.
Si Qi had a smile on his face, but his eyes were quite calm, like a pool of stagnant water, without any smile at all.
Si Zhuozhi glanced at Chen Zhian with some disgust.
"Mr. Chen." Si Qi saluted Chen Zhian, pointed at the body on the ground and said, "This man's name is Zhao Qiongshan, he is from the Zhao family in Ying County, Jingji.
It's just that this person has gone astray in his practice. Two days ago, he killed more than ten servants of the Zhao family and stole many treasures from the Zhao family and fled. The Zhao family has already reported it to the authorities, but they didn't expect that he would sneak into the imperial city."
"As expected." Chen Zhian replied calmly, "So he was possessed. No wonder he ran into my yard and even raised his hand to kill me. I guess he has gone crazy and doesn't know what he is doing."
Si Qi nodded.
Si Zhuozhi frowned, his eyes constantly moving between the corpse and Chen Zhian, and asked, "This Zhao Qiongshan is the direct descendant of the Zhao family, a cultivator of perfect innateness, who has cultivated a fist spirit and is extremely famous in the eight counties surrounding Xuantianjing.
Chen Zhian, he came to kill you, but you are still standing here unscathed? Is there another master in your courtyard?"
Chen Zhian's eyes wandered as he replied, "Just as the two Inspectors said, Zhao Qiongshan has gone insane and crazy.
He rushed into my yard and wanted to kill me, but for some reason he suddenly stopped and plunged four fingers into his chest, shattering his internal organs and dying. "
"Don't talk nonsense." Si Zhuozhi's eyes widened and he stared at Chen Zhian: "The Inspectorate's investigation and questioning are no joke. Chen Zhian... tell me everything you saw and know. How did Zhao Qiongshan die?"
He spoke very rudely, as if he was giving orders to Chen Zhian.
The indifference in Chen Zhian's eyes suddenly disappeared.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, sneered at the two Xiezhi envoys from the Si family and said, "A person with innate perfection is about to enter the realm of Yuque! How can he achieve innate perfection if he is so easily possessed?
After going astray, he didn't go anywhere but came straight to Xuantianjing to kill me... You two, this is what you said.
Since he is already crazy, it should not be impossible for him to commit suicide in our hospital, my two masters, don't you agree?"
When Chen Zhian spoke, his narrowed eyes had become cold as frost without him noticing.
The two Xiezhi envoys from the Si family looked at each other and for a moment they didn't know how to refute.
This assassination was not arranged by the two of them.
But they only needed to take one look to know that this was a plot against Chen Zhian that had been planned for several days.
The Zhao family, to which Zhao Qiongshan belonged, reported the case two days ago simply because they wanted to distance themselves from Zhao Qiongshan and avoid implicating the Zhao family in such an incident as breaking into the imperial city at night.
only……
As members of the Si family, when the two stood at the gate of the courtyard on Fosang Street, they thought that Chen Zhian would be best to die there. However, they never thought that Chen Zhian was almost unharmed, while Zhao Qiongshan was already dead.
There was even a very obvious sword wound on his chest, and it was obvious that he died at the hands of a strong man who practiced swordsmanship.
But Chen Zhian just kept telling lies with his eyes open.
Si Zhuozhi frowned and said, "The Inspectorate has its own rules for handling cases. Chen Zhian, since you don't want to talk in this court, then you have to follow the two of us and go to the Inspectorate to assist in the investigation of this case!"
Si Qi had a smile in his eyes, and did not agree with Si Zhuozhi's words, but just looked at Chen Zhian with a smile.
Chen Zhian said calmly: "When this man broke in, I was resting in the room, and I saw him commit suicide with my own eyes. This is all I, Chen Zhian, know.
If I went to the Inspectorate, I would get the same answer, so I decided not to go."
"Whether to go or not is actually not up to Lord Chen." Si Qi said with a smile. He spoke very politely with a smile on his face: "This is the rule of the Inspectorate. Zhuo Zhi and I have no choice but to ask Lord Chen to go to the Inspectorate."
Go to the Inspectorate?
Chen Zhian glanced at the two of them and was about to speak when someone suddenly approached from the intersection of Fosang Street in the distance.
The man was also wearing a Xiezhi robe and a long sword on his waist, looking quite majestic.
He walked along the way, also stepped into the courtyard with his sword pressed, frowned and said to Chen Zhian: "It's a pity for your courtyard."
"Jiang Taiping, we are on duty today, what are you doing here?" Si Zhuozhi said in a low voice, but with obvious disgust.
"Don't get me wrong, I just came to see the excitement." Jiang Taiping stood on the blue bricks exposed after the courtyard wall collapsed, looking quite relaxed.
He even squatted down on the spot and looked at the three people.
Si Zhuozhi originally wanted to drive Jiang Taiping away.
But Si Qi shook his head slightly at him.
Jiang Taiping can watch if he wants. He is not on duty, so what difference will it make even if he is allowed to take a look?
But when Chen Zhian saw Jiang Taiping, he was quite surprised.
"I remember that the patched robe on Brother Taiping was originally red, but now it has turned purple... It seems that Brother Taiping is pregnant." Chen Zhian clapped his hands and smiled.
Jiang Taiping's expression froze, and he said helplessly: "The word 'happy' is not used in this way. It means there is a happy event, not happiness."
"They all mean the same thing." Chen Zhian said casually, and then asked seriously: "Now these two Xiezhi envoys want to take me to the Inspectorate for interrogation, as if I were the assassin and Zhao Qiongshan in front of me was the owner of this small courtyard.
Brother Taiping, is this really the rule?"
Jiang Taiping nodded: "The Inspectorate has never failed to capture people. Since the two Tianzi Xiezhi envoys are standing in front of you and giving you orders, I'm afraid you can only follow them."
"I see." Chen Zhian nodded, grinned, and said to the two people from the Si family, "I suddenly remembered that just now this person broke through the courtyard wall and rushed into the courtyard. I clearly saw a young man in brocade clothes behind him, looking around with his hands behind his back." Before Si Zhuozhi and Si Qi could ask, Chen Zhian said, "This young man in brocade clothes is also quite familiar to you two adults. He is Si Chiqiong from the Si family."
"Chen Zhian!" Si Zhuozhi felt it was unbelievable and suddenly shouted, "Do you know what the consequences are of slandering others?"
Chen Zhian looked somewhat innocent and said, "This is strange. The two adults want to take me to the Inspectorate for interrogation to see if I missed any details.
I have now revealed the details, which involve the relatives of the two adults, but Master Si reacted so violently. Why? He won't let me speak?"
Si Qi's originally calm expression also showed some anger.
He stared at Chen Zhian and suddenly felt that this young man was not easy to deal with.
So he winked at Si Zhuozhi.
Si Zhuozhi snorted coldly and no longer mentioned taking Chen Zhian for questioning.
After all, Chen Zhian was the victim and had already explained the general situation, so there was no need for him to go to the Inspectorate.
It was just that Si Zhuozhi still remembered the hatred of Chen Zhian's knife, so he insisted on making things difficult.
But if Chen Zhian was really taken to the Inspectorate, if he started talking nonsense, many complications might arise.
So the two of them had to give up the idea.
Si Zhuozhi, who originally wanted to take revenge to vent his anger, also realized that he might not be able to vent his anger.
But every time he thought of Chen Zhian's unexpected knife attack, and how he had crawled out of the dust and sand, he became more and more angry.
Ever since he became the Tianzi Xiezhi Envoy, even when he met the fourth and fifth rank officials of the dynasty, they treated him with courtesy and even called him "Sir".
But only Chen Zhian was so bold that he even drew his sword against him, which made Si Zhuozhi feel uneasy.
So he looked at Chen Zhian deeply with a cold look in his eyes, turned around and was about to leave with Si Qi.
The two men took a step forward, and Chen Zhian also took a step forward and followed behind them.
The two couldn't help but frown.
Si Qi, who always had a smile on his face, turned around and asked, "Master Chen, where are you going?"
"Of course, I'll go to the Inspectorate." Chen Zhian laughed, "I just remembered a few details and I'll tell you two adults."
"Chen Zhian!"
Si Zhuozhi suddenly turned around, his aura surged, and several spiritual consciousnesses flowed over and locked onto Chen Zhian.
Si Qi's expression remained unchanged and he still had a smile on his face.
But there was also a vigorous aura emanating from him. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Master Chen, we are here to handle a case. We don't have time to fool around with you."
"Nonsense?" Chen Zhian's usual expression turned solemn, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "You two are trying to overpower me. What are you doing? Are you trying to overpower others with force?"
He said this and just flicked his fingers.
In an instant, a heavy sword intent suddenly appeared, bringing out a surging murderous intent, which spread throughout the dilapidated courtyard in an instant.
The sword intent was truly powerful. When it enveloped the two of them, they felt as if a cold current was blowing through the courtyard, making them shiver all over.
It was as if a bloody storm was brewing in the courtyard, causing their true energy to tremble.
The expressions of the two men finally changed drastically, and they looked at Chen Zhian in surprise, but they didn't know when Chen Zhian had mastered such a terrifying sword intent.
Chen Zhian was looking at the two of them with narrowed eyes, his expression still solemn.
The two men's faces flushed red, they clearly sensed the murderous intent contained in the sword.
Even though they knew that Chen Zhian could not possibly kill anyone in this imperial city, the surging sword intent alone still made them breathless.
Jiang Taiping suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "Why make things so awkward? Why don't I try to smooth things over without beating around the bush. In the end, you two were the ones who offended first.
Why don't you two bow and apologize to Lord Chen? I don't think he would want to go to the Inspectorate for nothing."
The two of them looked gloomy.
After a long while, Si Qi suddenly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Chen. We are eager to solve the case, so our tone is a little anxious."
Si Zhuozhi was standing next to Si Qi. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, but finally bowed down.
At this moment, the gloom in his eyes had completely disappeared.
Because when he sensed the murderous intent of Chen Zhian's sword, Si Zhuozhi already knew clearly that he and Chen Zhian were no longer equal.
The gap between this kind of talent and Si Zhuozhi will only get bigger and bigger. If he doesn't bow his head today, if Chen Zhian doesn't die in the future, I'm afraid...
Chen Zhian and Jiang Taiping watched the two men walk out of the yard.
Jiang Taiping came to Chen Zhian and whispered, "How do you know that throwing dirty water on Si Chiqiong will make things difficult for them?"
"The branch of an aristocratic family is most afraid of causing trouble for the main family." Chen Zhian said with a smile: "They took me to the Inspectorate just to vent their anger. If they cause a bigger mess to vent their anger, they will not be able to cover it up and will be severely criticized by the Si family."
Jiang Taiping nodded, but there was still some confusion in his eyes: "If they really take you to the Inspectorate, ignore your threats, and want to investigate Si Chiqiong and prove his innocence, wouldn't you be in trouble? There are all kinds of strong people in the Inspectorate."
Chen Zhian laughed and said, "Then I will ask you to inform Prime Minister Song... I remember that Prime Minister Song is also the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Supervisory Office.
Even if he is not in power, I will not be subjected to too much harshness in the Inspectorate."
Jiang Taiping didn't ask any more questions, but looked around the courtyard.
Chen Zhian had already put away his sword intent, but some traces of it still remained in this small courtyard.
The knife's cold, brutal, and murderous intent surprised him.
"What is the name of your sword power?" Jiang Taiping asked Chen Zhian with respect in his eyes.
"Call me Qingdi."
"Is there any story behind it?"
"It comes from a poem." Chen Zhian answered casually, "It's just that this poem is not easy to recite in this imperial city."
Jiang Taiping nodded in confusion and asked, "Someone wants to kill you, what will you do?"
Chen Zhian's eyes were calm. "Everyone who wants to kill me has an extraordinary background and a high status. I am just an ordinary eighth-rank Che Yi Lang. I am afraid that I can't repay blood with blood. I have to wait until I get the seal to get back at them."
Jiang Taiping agreed: "A real man can bend and stretch. It is also a kind of forbearance to swallow one's anger."
Chen Zhian raised his eyebrows: "Endure? Who said to endure?"
"If killing him doesn't work, just break a few of his bones to relieve the hatred in your heart."
