Chapter 24 Commander of the Imperial Guards
Wanwan tugged at Su Qingfeng, saying angrily, "With me here, that girl will definitely not get into trouble."
Su Qingfeng scoffed dismissively: "Your master Zhu Yuyan's daughter has already met with trouble at the Yin Kui Sect, and you're probably in dire straits yourself now. Bu Fu has been eyeing you all along, so you'd better be careful."
Su Qingfeng knew everything that was going on within the Yin Kui Sect. That madwoman Zhu Yuyan wouldn't even avenge her daughter's death for the sake of the sect, and Bian Bufu was constantly keeping an eye on Wanwan. Even if Zhu Yuyan found out, she would only give her a few words of reprimand, clearly unwilling to see the sect in turmoil or suffer a loss of strength. How could Su Qingfeng possibly let her daughter go to such a place?
Wanwan fell silent after listening. She hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to be so knowledgeable about the internal affairs of the Yin Kui Sect, and realized that she had indeed been inconsiderate. This young girl was clearly from an official family; taking her back to the Yin Kui Sect would only harm her.
Shi Feixuan glanced at Wanwan, then turned her gaze to Su Qingfeng. She also wanted to take this girl as her disciple. Since Wanwan was out of the question, her Cihang Jingzhai was a prestigious and righteous sect, and the leading righteous sect in the Great Sui Dynasty. Presumably, Su Qingfeng would be willing to help her make this happen.
Seeing Shi Feixuan looking at him, Su Qingfeng said helplessly:
"What are you looking at? You're no better than me. Your Cihang Jingzhai is even more insidious than the Yin Kui Sect, not even as good as the Yin Kui Sect. The Yin Kui Sect is evil in the open, but your Cihang Jingzhai does evil and then tries to put on a virtuous facade. Don't harm that little girl."
Shi Feixuan blushed deeply, never expecting Su Qingfeng to criticize her sect in such a way. But she also began to have doubts. Su Qingfeng knew many secrets; could Cihang Jingzhai really be as despicable as he described?
At this moment, Xiao Feng smiled at Su Yan and said:
"Su girl, I've agreed to your request. But don't interfere in today's matter. If I can leave alive, I'll come looking for you later."
Su Yan was overjoyed when she saw that he had agreed:
"That won't do, Uncle Xiao. Since you've agreed to be my bodyguard commander, you're now under my command. I don't want you to die here before you've even served a day."
She glanced around and, seeing everyone staring at her silently, raised her voice before Xiao Feng could reply:
"You all heard what Xiao Feng said just now. He is now my commander of the guards. Today I am taking him away. Anyone who has any objections, step forward now!"
A martial arts practitioner cupped his hands and said to Su Yan:
"Young lady, Xiao Feng is a Khitan, and you are a member of the Song Dynasty's imperial family. How can you rescue a Khitan?"
Su Yan glanced around disdainfully:
"So what if he's a Khitan? I think Xiao Feng, this Khitan, is stronger than all of you. You all know he was framed, yet not one of you, who claims to be from a reputable sect, stands up to speak the truth for him?"
Quan Guanqing then stepped forward and said:
"Young lady, Xiao Feng is a sinner of our Beggars' Sect, you cannot take him away."
Su Yan looked at this wicked person and sneered:
"Your words are disgusting. You say Xiao Feng is a sinner of the Beggars' Sect? Then I ask you, what exactly did he do to become a sinner?"
Quan Guanqing's face was grim as he replied:
"He murdered Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of our gang. Isn't that a crime? He also killed his own master and adoptive parents. Aren't they criminals?"
Su Yan looked around and raised his voice:
"Who witnessed Xiao Feng killing these people? Step forward now and let me see. I also have a few questions to ask."
At this moment, a woman dressed in a flamboyant manner came out and said to Su Yan in a pitiful tone:
"This humble woman, Kang Min, greets you, young lady. When Xiao Feng killed my husband, Ma Dayuan, he left behind his fan as evidence. With this evidence, Xiao Feng is the murderer."
Su Yan sized up the beautiful woman, her heart filled with curiosity—her father, Su Qingfeng, had once mentioned this poisonous woman to her.
She never expected to meet Kang Min here. It turned out that it was this woman and her lovers who framed Xiao Feng.
Su Yan stared at the repulsive woman and asked:
"You're Kang Min? Ma Dayuan's wife?"
"Yes, that's me."
When Su Yan asked her, Kang Min immediately answered.
Upon hearing that the woman was indeed Kang Min, Su Yan immediately smiled. He was now completely certain that it was Kang Min and her lovers who were trying to frame Xiao Feng.
"Ha, Kang Min, my father mentioned you. You were Duan Zhengchun's lover, but after he abandoned you, you strangled your own son with your own hands and then married Ma Dayuan of the Beggar Clan."
"Even after marrying Ma Dayuan, you weren't content. You hooked up with Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing from your Beggars' Clan, and even the seventy- or eighty-year-old Elder Xu. You even had your eye on Xiao Feng, but unfortunately, Xiao Feng is upright and completely ignores you. So that's why you conspired with those lovers to harm him, isn't it?"
Kang Min collapsed to the ground in terror, trembling all over: "You...how did you know? No, no, you're lying! I don't understand at all!"
Bai Shijing and Quan Guanqing exchanged bewildered glances, speechless with shock. They hadn't expected that Kang Min, this wicked woman, would be entangled with so many people, and fear surged within them—if their plot to frame Xiao Feng were exposed, they would surely die.
Duan Zhengchun's face was ashen as he stared intently at Su Yan, wishing he could kill the girl immediately. The gazes from all around made him feel even more uneasy.
Su Yan looked at the limp Kang Min and said disdainfully:
"Whether I'm lying or not, you know in your heart, and everyone here understands as well. The information my father received is absolutely correct."
At this moment, Hong Qigong appeared, glaring angrily at Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing, and sternly questioned them:
"Bai Shijing, Quan Guanqing! Have you two been having an affair with this wicked woman? Confess now! Guards, bring Elder Xu here!"
"Yes, Boss!"
"I'll talk, I'll talk! This wicked woman raped me! I didn't mean to harm Xiao Feng, it was all Kang Min's idea, she arranged it all!"
"I confessed! Kang Min forced me to do it. She said if I didn't, she would expose our affair... I, I..."
Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing were so frightened that they confessed everything. Now Kang Min was limp on the ground, and the other lovers were also present. As long as one of them confessed, it would be useless for the others not to.
"Men, take these men away and deal with them according to gang rules!"
Hong Qigong immediately ordered the Beggars' Clan to take the people away. He didn't want these people to continue disgracing the Beggars' Clan.
Su Yan glanced at Hong Qigong, who had stepped forward, and thought it unconvincing. Huang Rong had told him that the Southern Beggar Clan leader's appearance at this moment was probably an attempt to take advantage of the situation to absorb the Northern Beggar Clan—after all, the Northern Beggar Clan was currently leaderless, and several elders were about to be executed, so taking action now would be perfectly justified.
"Can I take Xiao Feng with me now? Is anyone else going to stop me?"
"Amitabha, young benefactor, Xiao Feng murdered my Shaolin Master Xuanku. Please hand him over to Shaolin for punishment."
"Old monk, what's your name?"
"This old monk is Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple."
"You are Xuan Ci?"
As soon as Su Yan said this, everyone in the apricot grove turned their attention to Xuan Ci, all ears perking up, waiting to hear what astonishing secret this young girl would reveal next. Even the leaders of the various sects couldn't help but look at Xuan Ci, curious about what major event this girl would unveil next.
Su Qingfeng had already covered his face with his hands. He had only casually mentioned some old stories to Su Yan out of boredom, never expecting her to spill them all here. Now, he was only worried that the women around him would become suspicious—after all, he had just mentioned Xuan Ci to them, and if Su Yan's account was exactly as he described, it would inevitably raise suspicions about their relationship.
Xuan Ci was stunned for a moment, unsure whether to respond, and even regretted stepping forward to stop the girl from taking Xiao Feng away.
Seeing that Xuan Ci did not answer for a long time, Su Yan pressed on and asked again:
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you really Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple?"
Xuanci could only reply with a bitter face, "This old monk is indeed Abbot Xuanci of Shaolin."
Su Yan burst into laughter and turned to Xiao Feng, saying:
"Xiao Feng, haven't you been searching for your enemies? This Xuan Ci is the ringleader from back then!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng became excited and hurriedly asked:
"Miss Su, is this true?"
Su Yan nodded seriously:
"Of course. I remember all the secrets of the martial arts world that my father told me very clearly. Xuan Ci was the leader back then."
Upon hearing Su Yan's accusation against the abbot, the Shaolin monks chorused their rebuttals:
"Don't talk nonsense! My abbot is an upright man, how could he be the leader?"
"Young benefactor, please do not speak recklessly. The abbot is of high moral character and great prestige; there is absolutely no way that could be!"
"Yes, the abbot could never be the leader!"
"Please be careful with your words, young benefactor, and lest you slander my abbot!"
……
Su Yan frowned as she listened to the monks' cacophony of complaints. These people were shameless; no wonder her father wanted to demolish all the temples around Suzhou.
Seeing Su Yan frown, Xuan Ci assumed she couldn't remember and quickly said:
"Young benefactor, this old monk is not some kind of leader; you must have misremembered."
"That's impossible! What kind of upright and selfless person are you? You're far from being a person of high moral character! You're a monk, yet you have women outside the home. Don't think I don't know. My father told me about your affairs a long time ago."
"My father said that none of you monks are any good. You do no work, don't pay taxes, occupy large tracts of land, and your temples are full of filth. Your Shaolin Temple should be glad that it's not under my father's jurisdiction, otherwise it would have been shut down long ago."
"What? The abbot of Shaolin Temple has a woman outside? Is it true?"
"There's no mistake, this girl doesn't seem to be lying."
"I never imagined the abbot of Shaolin would be this kind of person..."
"Yes, who exactly is Xuan Ci's woman? What kind of woman could move his heart?"
The surrounding martial artists, upon hearing Su Yan's words, began to murmur amongst themselves. Everyone felt their trip had been worthwhile; the news was truly astonishing. Now, they were even more eager to know what else this girl would say.
Xuan Ci's expression changed drastically upon hearing Su Yan's words. He hadn't expected that this young girl knew about his affair with Ye Erniang. Xuan Ci knew that he would likely face certain doom this time.
"Abbot, is what this young benefactor is saying true?"
"Abbot, please speak! Is what she said true or false?"
"Abbot, if she is a traitor, Shaolin will never let her go."
The monks in the temple eagerly pressed Xuanci for an answer. In fact, judging from the abbot's expression, they had already guessed most of it, but they still wanted to hear his answer in person.
"Su Qingfeng, you bastard! Tell me, what's your relationship with that girl? If you dare lie to us again today, we'll make you experience real torture!"
Wanwan was furious. She heard that what the little girl said was almost identical to what Su Qingfeng had just said, and immediately guessed that Su Qingfeng must be related to this girl.
Perhaps this little girl is Su Qingfeng's daughter. And this bastard is pretending not to know her! Wanwan now wishes she could strangle him.
Shi Feixuan and Zhou Zhiruo also stared at Su Qingfeng. They were now quite certain that Su Qingfeng knew the girl inside; otherwise, how could the secret he had just mentioned be so similar to what the girl had said?
Su Qingfeng just wanted to leave as soon as possible. Su Yan's words had completely betrayed him. If he didn't leave now, when would he?
Seeing Wanwan and the others glaring at him, Su Qingfeng said awkwardly:
"I have something to do, you guys talk first."
Enraged, Wanwan lunged forward and grabbed Su Qingfeng by the neck, shouting:
"Trying to run? If you don't explain yourself clearly this time, we'll torture you to death!"
Su Qingfeng didn't expect Wanwan to suddenly pounce on his back. He only felt something soft pressing against his back, and before he could even savor it, she grabbed his neck.
Su Qingfeng hurriedly patted her bottom and shouted:
"Hey, Wanwan, let go! Are you trying to strangle me?"
Wanwan was both ashamed and angry that he dared to spank her, and she gripped his neck even tighter, asking:
"Tell me quickly, what exactly is your relationship with that girl in the room?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wished she could knock the bastard unconscious on the spot, and she was too embarrassed to look up at Shi Feixuan and the others next to her—they must have all seen her being spanked by him.
Su Qingfeng couldn't shake her off, and seeing the strange looks from Shi Feixuan and the others, he had no choice but to cough and remind her:
"Wanwan, can't you be a little more ladylike? What kind of behavior is this, lying on top of me like that? Get off me right now."
