Half an hour later, Ling Yuntian finally came to the hall accompanied by Fang Jing.
Seeing Chen Yutian still waiting in the hall, he immediately cupped his hands apologetically.
"Master Chen, I've kept you waiting for so long! I'm extremely sorry, sir!"
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Sir Ling, you are too polite. I don't have to wait too long, so it doesn't matter."
Ling Yuntian smiled and then sat next to Chen Yutian.
"Master Chen said before that he had to come to my office for something, but I don't know what it is about?"
"To be fair to Lord Ling, I have arrived today and I really have something to ask for. I hope Lord Ling can agree to it." Chen Yutian looked at Ling Yuntian and paused.
A flash of doubt flashed across Ling Yuntian's expression, and he looked at Chen Yutian, "If Master Chen has something to say, just say it."
"I want to see Liu Jingyan who is in prison!"
The faint words fell in Ling Yuntian's ears, making him feel shocked.
A look of surprise that was extremely difficult to conceal appeared on his face.
Next to him, the master of the book, Fang Jing, also had a look of surprise on his face.
"I don't know, sir, how do you know Liu Jingyan?"
After a long while, Ling Yuntian finally asked.
"To be honest, I have a friend who is Bai Xiuxiu's cousin, and it was from his mouth that I learned about Liu Jingyan!"
Chen Yutian smiled lightly.
Ling Yuntian suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I see. Since you know Bai Xiuxiu, you must also know what Liu Jingyan has done, right?"
"certainly!"
Chen Yutian said lightly: "He killed Bai Xiuxiu and took away the money bag and jewelry from his body. In the end, Master Ling took away both the stolen goods and the stolen goods!"
Ling Yuntian nodded slightly and said: "Liu Jingyan, despite the solid evidence, still refused to plead guilty. Finally, he revealed the truth under severe punishment. He was sentenced to death by this government and is currently on death row. . Please come with me, sir."
When he heard the word "death row", Chen Yutian's expression changed slightly!
According to Daxuan law, under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to visit prisoners who are on death row before execution.
Unless there is conclusive evidence that proves the person's innocence, only then can the person be rescued from death row!
Of course, things are not absolute!
Like Chen Yutian, the imperial envoy who patrols the sky on behalf of the emperor can use the token given by the emperor to ask the local government to open the death row and go visit!
Ling Yuntian naturally understood this, so he did not reject Chen Yutian, but took the initiative to take him to the death row!
…
Whoosh!
The butterfly dart was like an afterimage, as fast as thunder, shooting towards the vital part of the old woman's neck!
The flower butterfly slowly turned around and prepared to leave.
Because even the top masters in the martial arts world had trouble evading the butterfly darts. He didn't believe that this old woman with no strength at all could dodge them!
But he miscalculated!
The old woman was indeed unable to dodge the butterfly dart, but when the butterfly dart was less than three inches away from her, a soft sword with cold light suddenly stood in front of the old woman!
Ding!
In the crisp sound of gold and iron, the butterfly dart was bounced away by the soft sword!
The figure of Butterfly, who was about to leave, paused for a moment, then turned around with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
I saw a hand on the hilt of the soft sword.
This is a beautiful hand, with fair skin and slender fingers. You can tell it is a woman's hand at a glance.
Hua Die followed the hand and looked forward. Soon, a beautiful figure came into view.
A very beautiful woman!
Hua Die's eyes flashed, and the woman in front of him was dressed in pink. Her bright eyes were slightly widened, and she glared at Hua Die. She looked very cute.
Butterfly smiled slightly.
No one knows why he laughs, just like no one knows whether he is a boy or a girl.
However, his smile made Xuan Xi frown slightly!
After receiving Chen Yutian's secret message, she, Ling Miaoyin, and Tang Fengling came to Taiping Street to look for the old woman holding the wooden sign with the word injustice.
And just when they found the old lady, they also discovered the butterfly hidden behind the old lady.
I even witnessed the scene where he shot the butterfly dart!
Seeing this, Xuan Xi almost without thinking, drew his sword and stood in front of him.
At this time, the old woman also reacted. After looking at the strangely dressed butterfly, her expression suddenly changed!
A flash of horror came to his eyes!
"You...who are you?"
"Mother-in-law, please stay away first, this person just wanted to kill you." Xuan Xi shook Liu Ying and said to the old woman who was guarding him behind him.
"Kill...kill me?" The old woman was shocked!
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will protect you!"
Xuan Xi smiled indifferently, then looked at Huadie and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Huadie, who has always only killed the target with the highest bounty, would one day be reduced to killing a weak mother-in-law to survive."
Huadie was unconvinced by her sarcasm.
He just grinned and fired three butterfly darts again!
Three butterfly darts shot forward from three different directions at the same lightning speed.
And their target, surprisingly, is the old woman behind Xuan Xi!
If it were a single butterfly dart, Xuan Xi might be able to cope with it, but when three butterfly darts shot out like afterimages, she was clearly beyond her capabilities.
After all, she had no protective aura and could not directly resist the butterfly dart.
And it would be unrealistic to use swordsmanship to deflect all these darts.
After all, these darts were extremely fast, and with her current reaction ability, at most, she would only have time to block the next one.
The other two are no longer enough!
Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, anyone should be as anxious as adding fuel to the fire.
But Xuan Xi didn’t!
Anyway, she is not the only one who came here!
Swish…
Two blasts of wind came, and two figures suddenly came from behind Hua Butterfly.
Huadie didn't dare to neglect, and left the place in a flash.
However, those two people ignored him and appeared directly beside Xuan Xi.
It was Ling Miaoyin and Tang Fengling who came together!
These two people are both genuine masters of Gang Qi separation from the body. They gently held up the body's protective Gang Qi, and then bounced away the two butterfly darts!
The third butterfly dart was picked up by Xuan Xi's long sword and also bounced away!
Huadie's expression suddenly changed when she saw that all of her tricks had been defeated, as well as the two masters of Gang Qi separation who suddenly appeared!
You must know that his current martial arts is still at the peak level of otherworldliness. There is absolutely no chance of winning against a master of Gangqi separation from the body!
So, he immediately thought of quitting!
However, it is not easy to escape from two great masters who have left their bodies with Gang Qi!
Flower Butterfly knows this very well.
what to do?
Huadie looked around calmly. Suddenly, he didn't know what he saw. His expression suddenly moved, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
…
The inn where the Bai family brothers and sisters live is a century-old inn called Kexiangju.
Hakka is very famous in Youzhou City, but it is not a high-end place. On the contrary, it is frequented by some common people, and the business has always been booming.
When Gongsun and the others arrived, it was still morning, and there were not many guests in the inn. There were only a few people sitting and having some refreshments.
The shopkeeper of Kexiangju was named Lin. When Gongsun and the others were led by the Bai family to see the shopkeeper, he was holding an account book in one hand and fiddling with an abacus in the other hand.
"Oh? The guest officer asked me if any waiters here have not come to work recently?"
Shopkeeper Lin paused slightly while fiddling with the abacus, raised his head, and glanced at Gongsun.
Gongsun nodded slightly.
Shopkeeper Lin shook his head slightly and said, "I'm really sorry! I usually don't pay much attention to this aspect, but I can ask other people for you."
As he spoke, he greeted a waiter who was walking by with a plate. The waiter immediately walked over with a smile on his face.
"Shopkeeper, what do you want from me?"
"These officials would like to ask if there are any waiters who have not come to our inn in the past two days. Do you know?" Shopkeeper Lin said, then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the abacus.
The waiter heard this and said, "Let me think about it...it seems that I haven't seen Li Ren in the past two days."
"Li Ren?" Bai Fan's expression changed.
"Yes, sir. Li Ren is the waiter at our inn, but I haven't seen him since yesterday."
Gongsun, Xue Tianhan, Bai Fan and the Bai family brothers and sisters all looked at each other.
Bai Fan took out a portrait from his sleeve and unfolded it.
"Look, is Li Ren this person?"
The portrait is of the body found yesterday.
When the waiter saw this person, he immediately nodded and said: "Not bad! Not bad! This is him!"
After receiving this answer, Gongsun and others immediately sighed.
The waiter looked at a few people and asked cautiously: "Master, you have a portrait of this guy. Did he commit something?"
Xue Tianhan shook his head slightly and said: "No, he is dead!"
Hearing this, the guy was stunned!
Snap!
A sound suddenly came, and everyone looked around and saw that the abacus originally placed on the table fell to the ground for some unknown reason.
As for Shopkeeper Lin, it was as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue at this moment, and he was completely stunned!
There was even a hint of fear in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash!
This look made Gongsun suspicious. So, he couldn't help but look at Shopkeeper Lin!
And just when he glanced across the table unintentionally, his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light!
I saw that the account book on the table seemed to have... one page torn out.
The torn off marks are very clear!
