At the main entrance of Zhaifeng College, a large number of students gathered here.
The men from the City Lord's Mansion who stormed into the academy finally left in despair, but the deployment surrounding the entire Fengfeng Academy was strengthened. There were spies from the city lord's palace and soldiers from the Xiafeng City garrison everywhere, closely monitoring every move of Zhanfeng Academy. All students who tried to leave the Fengfeng Academy were extremely severely prevented. The students looked panic-stricken and still didn't know what happened. They gathered here and were asking for an explanation from the people guarding outside the city.
"I am Li Xin, the eldest son of Li Yuan, who is ordered by Chasi Si. May I ask who is in charge here?" A student walked out of the crowd and made a request for negotiation on behalf of all the students.
Li Xin is a student who has just entered the fourth grade in the new school year. He has five levels of power and a total of twelve levels of perception, which is considered to be quite outstanding in Zhanfeng Academy. What's even more rare is that he has a father who serves as a commander in the Ancha Division. Although Si Ming only holds the most common position in Chasi, he is already at the fifth rank among the sixth rank and twelfth rank in the Xuanjun Empire. In addition, the Procuratorate is a local branch affiliated with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and has supervisory power over local officials, which further highlights its status.
In an inconspicuous small college like Zhaofeng College, Li Xin's background is enough to make people look at him in a new light. However, he didn't feel any sense of superiority because of this, and he got along well with ordinary classmates. At present, there is no teacher in the Fengfeng Academy to take charge of the overall situation. He figured that his small background might be useful, so he took the initiative to stand up.
Who would have thought that as soon as he said a word, before he even stepped out of the academy gate, two shining steel knives were already in front of him.
"Go back!" the two garrison soldiers said viciously.
Li Xin was a little surprised. When he was at home, he met many officials from all walks of life, including many who were higher in rank than his father but still had to be polite in front of his father. He clearly understood the importance of following the orders of the Chasi Commander. He has never used his power to overwhelm others. Now this is the first time that he wants to use his father's identity. As a result, the two soldiers are so indifferent, which makes Li Xin realize that this action against their Fengfeng Academy is absolutely absolute. No small matter.
Li Xin did not dare to make a mistake, and obediently took two steps back, and then saluted the two soldiers. Then he asked in a good voice: "Brothers have worked hard, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to meet with the two superiors? Or if you know why we are prohibited from entering, please ask for permission."
Before the two soldiers could speak, someone had already turned around behind them. He looked Li Xin up and down.
"Are you Li Yuan's son?" the man asked.
"Yes." Li Xin replied immediately, recognizing the man at a glance as Wei Hu, one of the twelve guards of the city lord's palace. His father's thin noodles were a bit difficult to use in front of the guards of the city lord's mansion. Although the Inspection Division has the power to supervise local officials, Wei Zhongna, the lord of Xiafeng City, is a high official in the border area, with a proper second-grade official title. The commander of the Ancha Division and the Ancha Envoy are only the third grade. There's a difference of two levels. Although he has the authority, it is not that easy to intimidate an important official. To put it bluntly, Jiawei is no different from a domestic servant and does not have an official position. He just has the big tiger Wei Zhong as his back, and his actions are even more unrestrained.
"Lu Ping, Su Tang, Xi Fan, and Mo Lin. What is your relationship with the above four people?" Wei Hu asked coldly.
Li Xin was stunned. He had no idea that such a big move by the City Lord's Mansion was related to these four people. It wasn't until the last major exam that Lu Ping's strength surprised everyone, including Su Tang, Xi Fan, and Mo Lin, who was new to the academy. Their realm is indeed considered top-notch among the Fengfeng Academy. But Li Xin, who has some knowledge, knows that the leader of their Zhaofeng Academy is just the leader behind closed doors. Outside the gate, they really mean nothing on the continent divided by the three empires. Why did the City Lord's Mansion make such a big fanfare?
Li Xin couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only answer truthfully: "They are both students of our Fengfeng Academy. There is no special relationship."
"What about their origins?" Wei Hu then asked.
"I don't know." Li Xin shook his head.
"Really?" Wei Hu's gaze became very sharp, as if he wanted to shoot someone through. Li Xin suddenly felt flustered. He already regretted being the first to show off, but he could only force himself to calm down: "They are not here right now either. They went to Zhiling City to attend the Dianpo Conference."
Wei Hu didn't seem to hear Li Xin's question and answer, and talked about the latest investigation and analysis: "Lu Ping and Su Tang both entered the Zhaifeng Academy three years ago, and their origins are unknown; Xifan. Entered four years ago. Zhaifeng Academy, the origin is unknown; Mo Lin, less than two months ago, joined the Fengzhao Academy under the pseudonym Lin Mo, the origin... is also unknown."
After saying that, Wei Hu continued to stare at Li Xin: "What a coincidence. They happen to be four people whose origins are all unknown? What do you think of this problem?"
"I...haven't noticed this." Li Xin said.
At this time, a secret agent from the City Lord's Mansion hurried over. After taking a look at Li Xin, he was about to speak into Wei Hu's ear, but was stopped by Wei Hu with a wave of his hand: "Speak directly."
"Li Xin, the eldest son of Li Yuan under the command of the Chasi of Xiafeng District, is a fourth-year student at Zhaofeng College. He was born in 1844 in mainland China. He entered Zhaofeng College in January 1857. He senses the realm and has the power of the fifth heaven, Chong, Ming, and Shu. The second level of Qi, the first level of Qi. He performed well in the academy, had a good relationship with Xi Fan among the target persons, and took good care of Su Tang." The secret agent held a booklet in his hand and read it quickly.
None of this was too secretive information, but Li Xin broke into a cold sweat after hearing it. Because he knew that this meant that the City Lord's Mansion was investigating him, but he had no idea why he was under suspicion. What do these people want to find out when they investigate themselves?
But after Wei Hu listened to these simple messages, he showed an expression of "that's enough."
"Have a good relationship with Xi Fan and take good care of Su Tang?" He looked at Li Xin and said, "But I remember you just said that you don't have any special relationship?"
"This...is a special relationship?" Li Xin was surprised. He did have a good relationship with Xi Fan, and he did take care of Su Tang, but he did not regard this as a special relationship at all. This was simply a very common thing. There were countless students and even tutors in Zhaofeng Academy. So true.
"You are the son of Chasi Si Ming Li Yuan, and you have a good family background. Why did you choose Zhanfeng Academy? In our Xiafeng District, most people with your conditions would choose Xiafeng Academy, right? This question seems to be unclear. You have to talk to your father." Wei Hu added.
"What nonsense are you talking about! These things can't explain anything at all!" Li Xin was a little anxious. He never expected that he just stood up to find out what happened, but the other party listed him as a suspect based on this little information. , and even involves his father.
"What can be explained and what can't be explained? You will have the opportunity to answer properly next." A cruel sneer appeared on Wei Hu's face, and two spies rushed out from behind him, one on the left and one on the right.
"You are making things out of nothing!" Li Xin felt that he could not argue, but two spies had already rushed up to catch him. Li Xin was unwilling to surrender and punched him. The strength of the fifth-level Heavenly Power Soul was also extremely astonishing. There was a crackling sound from the fists. The two spies hurriedly stepped aside, but Wei Hu took a step forward and shouted: "Dare you resist?"
As he was about to take action, a figure suddenly flashed and replaced Li Xin. Wei Hu hurriedly stopped when he saw it. The person who suddenly appeared in front of Li Xin was Guo Ting, who had made him and Wei Bao retreat in despair.
"It's you again." Wei Hu said coldly, but this time, there was no look of fear on his face. Just retreating to the side, the city lord Wei Zhong walked forward quickly. Many people following him even had to trot to keep up with his pace.
"Are you Guo Ting?" He asked immediately as he arrived outside the college gate.
"That's me." Guo Ting said.
"Very good, I'll give it a try." Wei Zhong said, suddenly taking action.
There are no unnecessary preambles or any identity scruples. Wei Zhong not only came to take a look in person, he even went out in person to attack a servant, and he did so with all his strength. No one pursues efficiency more thoroughly than Wei Zhong himself.
There was a roar of thunder.
Wei Zhong just punched, but there was lightning flashing. The people who had originally gathered around him retreated. On the side, he was recalling the last time he saw the city lord personally take action and use the special power "Thunder Light". (To be continued.)
