"Chu Qingxiao! You are so arrogant! Who do you think you are?"
Chu Qingxiao's words had just finished and Jia Lian had not yet responded. One of the disciples behind Jia Lian couldn't stand Chu Qingxiao's arrogant attitude and stepped forward and said angrily.
Chu Qingxiao heard this but did not respond, but still looked straight at Jia Lian.
At this moment, Jia Lian stretched out his hand and stopped the angry disciple.
The disciple was stunned, then turned to look at Jia Lian in confusion: "Master!"
Before he could express the doubts in his mind, Jia Lian glared at him.
The disciple immediately became as silent as a cicada, not daring to make any mistake, bowed his head and retreated in a depressed tone.
Then Jia Lian just raised his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao.
"It seems that Chu Siming came here well prepared today." Jia Lianyan said, his tone calmed down, not as angry as when he was "slandered" by Chu Qingxiao just now.
Chu Qingxiao's face was calm: "I have been entrusted with the important task of supervising Tiansi and King Wu, how dare I not put all my efforts into it?"
When Jia Lian heard this, the muscles in his face twitched.
Before this, he had always thought that Chu Qingxiao was just a lucky guy who survived the eternal night world, and judging from his performance at the Seventh Hall Trial, he looked more like a stubborn young man who didn't know how to be tactful.
But today's Chu Qingxiao made Jia Lian realize that he seemed to have been deceived by Chu Qingxiao's superb acting skills.
How could he say these words with such a straight face, how could he be a young man with no plans or scheming.
Thinking of this, Jia Lian took a deep breath and finally suppressed his anger and grievance. He looked at the other party and said, "Okay! Then as Chu Siming requested, I will send someone to get the file."
As soon as these words came out, everyone outside the drug store looked in an uproar.
Everything Chu Qingxiao has done since he came to this medicine shop can be described as extremely excessive. Based on their understanding of Tianxuan Mountain, Jia Lian has no reason to swallow this bitter pill.
But in the face of Chu Qingxiao's aggressive approach, the elder of Dabai Tuo Peak actually chose to settle the matter.
Before this, this was something that no one dared to think about.
Chu Qingxiao seemed to have expected such a result, his face was expressionless and extremely calm.
About half an hour passed like this.
A disciple of Bai Tuofeng squeezed in from outside the medicine shop sweating profusely - this process was quite difficult for him.
As time went by, more and more people in Tianxuan City heard about what happened in Xuancheng Pharmacy.
The newly appointed Chief Commander of the Sky Patrol Department.
The elder of Bai Tuo Peak.
The confrontation between the two is a rare scene for the people of Tianxuan City.
Whether it was out of curiosity or wanting to see Chu Qingxiao's methods, it was enough to attract enough onlookers.
Finally, the disciple of Bai Tuofeng passed through the onlookers who surrounded the medicine shop on three floors inside and three outside, and came to the medicine shop.
Unwilling to breathe for a moment, he immediately handed over the file in his hand.
"Master, this is the file on the collaboration between the Xue family and his son."
After agreeing to Chu Qingxiao's request, Jia Lian kept his eyes closed and rested. After hearing this, he opened his eyes, took the file, and then turned to face Chu Qingxiao.
"Chu Siming, this is the file of the Xue family's case. Please take a look." Jia Lian said.
Seeing this thing, Xue Sanniang's emotions that had just calmed down showed signs of surging again.
Her breathing was obviously rapid, her eyes were red, and she was staring at the file, and she was clenching her hands tightly at this moment.
Xu Yixiu looked at Xue Sanniang like this, and the expression on her face became a little complicated.
Although she did not have a good impression of Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao and others who were "complicit" with Chu Qingxiao, Xue Sanniang not only took great care of her in the past two days, but she was even injured yesterday trying to protect her.
Xu Yixiu naturally has a good impression of him.
Although she didn't understand Xue Sanniang's experience, she still instinctively sided with Xue Sanniang. After all, she could raise a gentle and considerate woman like Xue Sanniang. Logically speaking, her father and brother would not be as heinous as Jia Lian said. generation.
But siding with Xue Sanniang meant "complicit" with Chu Qingxiao. Xu Yixiu was inevitably conflicted about this enemy who had snatched away the Dragon Seal belonging to Jianyue City.
Chu Qingxiao didn't know Miss Xu's inner struggle. He just stretched out his hand to take the file.
But just as his hand touched the file, Jia Lian's hand suddenly exerted force and tightly held one end of the file, preventing Chu Qingxiao from taking it away.
Chu Qingxiao noticed this and looked up at Jia Lian.
Without leading him to ask questions, Jia Lian spoke first: "Chu Siming, I personally tried the case of the Xue family and his son. The file is here. If Chu Siming wants to see it, I naturally have to cooperate."
"But the ugly talk is ahead. If Chu Siming can find out the clues in this file, whether Chu Siming wants to accuse me of colluding with evil sects or cultivating magic elixirs, I will not have any complaints at all."
"But!"
"If Chu Siming can't find anything, if you smash my drug store today, injure my nephew, and slander me, I don't care who is behind Chu Siming, I will make Chu Siming pay the price!"
What Jia Lian said was very convincing.
He is no less an elder of Bai Tuo Peak. He is tough-minded and calm enough at the same time.
If it were an ordinary person, being humiliated like that by Chu Qingxiao before, I am afraid that he would have been carried away by anger and would have made a move against Chu Qingxiao.
And once you do this, you are waiting to be caught by Chu Qingxiao and make things difficult for you on the grounds of fear of crime or hindering the investigation.
In contrast, although Jia Lian chose to give in in the face of Chu Qingxiao's difficulties, his short-term forbearance made him morally justified.
He cooperated with Chu Qingxiao's actions, and once Chu Qingxiao reviewed all the information but could not come up with a convincing result, he would have enough reasons to hold Chu Qingxiao accountable and launch an attack.
At that time, even with the supervision of Tiansi and Prince Wu's Mansion as security, Chu Qingxiao would not be able to escape unscathed.
Song Qingqing and others also frowned when they heard this. They were obviously aware of the calculation behind Jia Lian's words.
Waves of worry could not help but arise in their hearts.
Of course they knew that Xue Sanniang's father and brother were wrongly accused.
The so-called treason and the so-called theft of prescriptions are all vicious methods used by Jia Lian to covet the Xue family's ancestral prescriptions in order to keep them for himself.
But after all, several years have passed.
The Xue family father and son were also dead long ago.
As the saying goes, there is no evidence of death. It is indeed difficult for Chu Qingxiao to overturn the case of the Xue family and his son through a dossier.
What's more, this file was written by Jia Lian. It can be predicted that most of the contents in it must have been forged by Jia Lian in a direction that is beneficial to him.
With all the factors added together, even Chu Zhaozhao and others did not have much hope for this.
For this reason, they all looked a little nervous when they looked at Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao also paused, and the hand holding the file was obviously much weaker.
Jia Lian also felt this, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"If Chu Siming retreats now, it's not impossible."
"But Chu Siming has to compensate for the damage to my drug store. I made a rough estimate and found that the loss to this store is about one hundred thousand taels."
"These girls who injured my nephew should also stay and take care of my nephew until he recovers."
"As for the words Chu Siming just slandered the old man, Chu Siming has to kneel down to the old man and apologize properly!"
"How is it?" Jia Lian said, the expression on his face became playful.
The conditions given by Jia Lian were extremely harsh.
Whether it was the huge compensation, the so-called letting Chu Zhaozhao and others stay and take care of Jia Shunwen, or kneeling down to apologize in front of so many people, Chu Qingxiao couldn't accept any of them.
And this is exactly the result Jia Lian wants to see.
He just wants Chu Qingxiao to be on the verge of death, so that when Chu Qingxiao reads the file but cannot get any clues, he will have enough reason to make Chu Qingxiao pay the price for his domineering behavior.
Thinking of this, the smile on Jia Lian's lips became colder.
Jia Shunwen beside him also gradually recovered from the panic and fear before.
Young Master Jia has always been determined to retaliate. As much as he was humiliated by Chu Qingxiao before, now that he saw Chu Qingxiao showing cowardice in front of his uncle, his desire for revenge was so strong.
After hearing this, Jia Shunwen also stood up. His eyes swept across Song Qingqing and others excitedly, looking at their charming faces, and his heart was burning. At that time, he also said: "Little lady! Don't worry, I The young master cares about the beauty, you just beat me, but I am not willing to beat you."
"Just how hard you beat us just now will make me pity you more when you take care of me in bed."
Jia Shunwen said this with a lewd smile on his face.
The disciples behind Jia Lian also seemed to feel that they had a chance to win, and they all laughed wildly after hearing this.
Under their arrogant attitude, the faces of Song Qingqing and others became increasingly ugly.
But at this moment.
Zheng!
A low sword cry suddenly sounded.
The broken blade hanging above Chu Qingxiao's head suddenly flew out at an extremely fast speed, almost turning into a stream of light and passing by Jia Lian's face.
The next moment, Jia Lian heard a scream from beside him.
As a bloody light lit up, Jia Shunwen's laughter stopped abruptly.
Jia Lian's expression changed greatly, and he quickly looked to his side, only to see a broken blade inserted into his nephew's shoulder, blood splattered, and his body was also hit by the huge force of the broken blade. Dragging along, he finally hit the wooden wall behind him. The broken blade penetrated his collarbone and was nailed into the wooden wall behind him along with Jia Shunwen's body.
It all happened so suddenly.
No one thought that Chu Qingxiao would be so ruthless.
Jia Shunwen looked at the broken blade inserted into his shoulder in disbelief. After a brief moment of daze, severe pain came. Mr. Jia, who had been laughing wildly just now, suddenly let out a shrill wail.
Jia Lian also came to his senses from this wailing. He turned his head and looked at Chu Qingxiao angrily. The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. The spiritual energy in his body surged, and murderous intent rushed toward Chu Qingxiao like a river.
"Chu Qingxiao! You are looking for death!" He said through gritted teeth.
But Chu Qingxiao ignored his angry rebuke, and just reached out to take the file in Jia Lian's hand, opened it, looked down, and said lightly at the same time.
"The Sky Patrol Division is responsible for supervising the gods in the world. The members of the Sky Patrol Division, even the most ordinary ones, are all officials of the same court."
"Jia Shunwen is a commoner who dares to insult the imperial officials. It is an act of mercy for me to spare his life..."
"What's more, he still has a felony."
When Jia Lian heard this, he was furious: "Chu Qingxiao, you are still spitting blood, what is my nephew's responsibility..."
"Elder Jia, don't worry." Chu Qingxiao calmly interrupted Jia Lian's curse. He lowered his head and continued to speak while flipping through the file.
"He doesn't have one now."
"But when I finish reading the files, you and your nephew will all be punished with death for serious crimes."
