I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 74 Regret
Upon hearing the words "murdering one's master," Sun Shicai's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the servant by the collar, lifted him up, and angrily demanded, "What did you say?"

Seeing his ferocious expression, the servant stammered in fear, "N-no...no...it's not...I...I'm...I'm..."

"waste."

Sun Shicai threw him out, his face regaining its composure, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go to the Governor's Mansion."

In times like these, it's crucial not to panic.

If he doesn't go to the governor's office, won't people think he's guilty?

The tall man next to him said "Oh," came to his senses, and silently followed behind him.

……

Sun Shicai sat in the carriage, his face calm, but his heart was filled with shock and anger.

"If I had known, I should have done whatever it took to silence Huo Qianqian and Zhang Mingyu..."

The main reason was that he didn't expect his willful and spoiled junior sister to become so patient, which lulled him into a false sense of security.

Zhang Mingyu, who is always unable to keep a secret, never revealed anything to him.

He figured these two weren't much of a threat, and killing them would be too much trouble...

A moment of weakness led to this terrible mistake.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.

He quickly began to think of a solution.

He had seen his share of storms, and although the current situation was perilous, it wasn't without room for maneuver.

They have no evidence!

In addition, Yu Xiuming spoke up for him...

Sun Shicai pondered a solution, and soon they were almost at the Governor's Mansion.

The carriage stopped, and a cacophony of voices could be heard from ahead.

The driver loudly reported, "Sir, there are too many people here, it's a traffic jam, we can't get through."

"get off."

Sun Shicai opened the car door and, sure enough, saw a large crowd gathered in front of the governor's mansion, blocking the road.

More and more people kept arriving, all there to see what was going on.

He couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.

Faintly, a mournful voice could be heard, "...That Sun Shicai is a traitor who murdered our master! Please, Lord Zhao, do justice for us!"

The crowd was immediately in an uproar.

Master murder! Such a horrifying thing has actually happened in Qingfeng City, and the murderer is actually a seventh-rank inspector of the Six Doors.

Many people started cursing on the spot, drowning out the voice of the person in front.

It can be said that the public was outraged.

For some reason, Sun Shicai felt a vague unease seeing the people's intense reaction.

These were just ordinary people who posed no threat to him and whom he usually disregarded. Yet, their gathering together now caused him immense psychological pressure.

"This can't go on!"

Sun Shicai was a decisive man, and he shouted, "Nonsense!"

This loud shout, like a thunderclap, immediately attracted countless eyes.

"It's Sun Shicai!"

"He dares to come again? That treacherous dog who murdered his master!"

"How could someone like this be appointed as an inspector of the Six Doors..."

"..."

At this moment, Sun Shicai felt like he was being pointed at by a thousand people, and his heart became even more uneasy.

This is a little different from what he expected.

He shouted, "You cannot believe their one-sided story. I, Sun Shicai, have never done such an outrageous thing!" Many people around him were intimidated by him and quickly made way for him to confront him.

……

"sucker Punch!"

Not far from the Governor's Mansion, in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, sat a group of female disciples of the Xiaoshui Sect. Xiao Zhuyun, upon seeing Sun Shicai appear, said something indifferently.

When Huo Qianqian and Zhang Mingyu, along with a group of disciples, dressed in mourning clothes and carrying Huo Chengkun's memorial tablet, arrived at the governor's mansion to plead their case, Sun Shicai's fate was already sealed.

At this point, nothing Sun Shicai says will make a difference. Even if he didn't kill his master, he will still be despised by everyone.

On one side were Huo Chengkun's granddaughter, a personal disciple, and more than a dozen nominal disciples. They all stood up and accused Sun Shicai of murdering his master.

On the other side, Sun Shicai was alone, and he was a seventh-rank inspector of the Six Doors.

If it weren't true, who would want to air their dirty laundry in public?

If it weren't true, how could a group of martial artists dare to frame a patrol officer from the Six Doors?
"It was indeed an open conspiracy."

Looking at Sun Shicai, who was being condemned by everyone, Xiao Zhuyun felt an indescribable feeling. This kind of ending was what Chen Ming called "social death".

Even if Sun Shicai survives today, he will be a traitor despised by all. No one wants to associate with him. Even Yu Xiuming probably won't protect him anymore.

……

When Sun Shicai arrived at the Governor's Mansion, he saw Huo Qianqian and Zhang Mingyu carrying Huo Chengkun's memorial tablet, followed by more than a dozen junior brothers dressed in mourning clothes carrying the memorial tablets of their eldest brother and others. His heart sank suddenly.

Behind him, there was no one; the junior brother who had come with him in the car was gone.

He shouted, "I didn't kill my master! Don't make false accusations!"

When Huo Qianqian saw him, she no longer needed to hide her hatred. "Sun Shicai, did you ever think this day would come? To seize my grandfather's sixth-grade inheritance, you didn't hesitate to kill your master. Afterwards, you even sent people to ambush us, trying to silence us. A heartless and rebellious person like you deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell."

Sun Shicai loudly protested, "I didn't! You're slandering me!"

However, his explanation sounded so weak to others.

At this moment, the gates of the Governor's Mansion finally opened, and a dignified man dressed in blue official robes walked out. It was none other than Yu Xiuming, the Blue-Clad Captain.

When Sun Shicai saw him, it was as if he had seen a savior. "Lord Yu—"

Yu Xiuming didn't even glance at him. When he spoke, he suppressed all the other voices and said, "The matter you have mentioned is already known to the Admiral. He has specially ordered me to come and announce that Sun Shicai is suspected of murdering his master. Before he is cleared of suspicion, he shall be removed from his position as Inspector of the Six Doors."

Sun Shicai was struck dumb, staring at Yu Xiuming in disbelief, "Lord Yu, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, he met the other person's cold gaze. His body stiffened, and a strong sense of fear surged within him. He could no longer utter a word.

After Yu Xiuming finished his announcement, he turned and left, and the heavy gates of the Governor's Mansion closed once again.

It's over-

Sun Shicai stood there, dejected. He had struggled for so many years, narrowly escaping death several times, to climb to his current position, and now it was all gone.

How could it become like this?
Do not--

"Now is not the time to think about that."

Sun Shicai suddenly recalled Yu Xiuming's cold gaze and couldn't help but shiver. He knew too many secrets; Yu Xiuming wouldn't let him off the hook.

Get out of here immediately.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a fierce shout, "You scoundrel, you still want to run? Today I will make sure you die here, to appease the spirits of my master and senior brother in heaven!"

Zhang Mingyu, carrying a steel knife, stood in front of him.

Sun Shicai looked at him and said disdainfully, "You think you can beat me?"

Just then, a clear voice came from behind him, "What if I were included?"

This voice——

He suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Ming who was walking slowly towards him, and laughed wildly, "Great, you actually delivered yourself to my door, saving me a lot of trouble."

As long as I capture this person and force him to reveal his inheritance, I can break through to the sixth rank at any time. The world is so vast, where can't I go?
