Chapter 48 Confrontation

 Xu Yilin tried hard to calm down his inner anger. This was not the time for an attack.

"Mr. Kong, please make the decision for me. I will follow the list truthfully. If other cooperation is needed, my Xu family will definitely comply."

His eyes fell on Mr. Kong's face and he asked him to decide. He was the master of the Yan Dynasty and the prince's enlightenment teacher. He had an extraordinary status. As long as he said a word, the Xu family could get out of trouble.

"Master Xu, do you have a guilty conscience? Just ask your son-in-law to come out and confront him. If this matter has nothing to do with him, we will just leave. What do you mean by being secretive?"

Xue Chunyu sneered and interrupted Xu Yilin. These words made Bai Qiu and others nod.

"Master Xu, Mr. Xue's words are a bit harsh, but they are not unreasonable. Why don't you ask your son-in-law to come out and explain things clearly in person."

A man representing the Imperial College stood up. This man's name was Gao Hao. At this time, he said, Xu Yilin asked Liu Wuxie to come out and explain clearly in person what he had done and what he had encountered in the Sunset Mountains for eight days.

Deacon Qi and others stood outside the main hall, waiting to be summoned at any time and accept their cross-examination. They had already thought of an excuse.

More than half an hour had passed and no one had summoned them for questioning. Things were a bit unusual.

"Master Xu, are you afraid of something or are you avoiding something?"

Xue Chunyu sneered. Before coming to Canglan City, Xue Yu came to him and asked him to make the Xu family pay the price. It was best to let them be destroyed. Xue Yu was his cousin and the direct grandson of the head of the family. It was hard for him to refuse.

The Xu family was destroyed, and as soon as that good-for-nothing died, Xu Lingxue naturally fell into his hands. Only Xue Chunyu knew this information.

"My Xu family does things openly and aboveboard. We are never afraid of anyone. Go and call Wuxie over."

There was a trace of anger in Xu Yilin's eyes. Xue Chunyu deliberately targeted the Xu family. Everyone present knew this, but surprisingly no one came forward. The purpose was obvious, to find a scapegoat.

Butler Lan ran out quickly, and after drinking tea, Liu Wuxie stepped into the main hall. On the way, he already understood everything about the main hall.

"Junior Liu Wuxie pays homage to all seniors"

Stepping into the hall, he bent down and bowed in salute, with a calm face and no emotional fluctuations.

The eyes of Kong Lao and the other five people all focused on Liu Wuxie.

"You are the Xu family's son-in-law"

Xue Chunyu asked coldly, with a bad tone, causing the Xue family to lose a hundred spirit stones, openly slapping Xue Yu in the face, and it has been reported back to the imperial capital city.

This incident had a great impact on the Xue family. They wanted to send someone to destroy the Xu family, but Baili Qing appeared in Canglan City and took Xu Lingxue away, which made the Xue family change their mind.

"Exactly"

He clasped his hands into fists as an answer.

"After our investigation, is it true that you entered the Sunset Mountains eight days ago?"

I continued to ask questions and asked questions normally, but I couldn't hear anything.

"Yes" Liu Wuxie.

Question after question, asked from Xue Chunyu's mouth, became more and more tricky, beyond the scope of the investigation.

"Eight days ago, your Xu family's motorcade was attacked by a mysterious team. Later, the motorcade returned safely. Where were you at that time?"

A coldness appeared on the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, and he was finally about to attack. The various questions he had just answered were enough to prove that Liu Wuxie had nothing to do with the disappearance of Shi Pojun.

“Does it matter where I am?”

Liu Wuxie's eyes turned cold, and he raised his head, staring directly at Xue Chunyu. Their eyes collided, creating countless fires. From each other's eyes, they saw anger and murderous intent. "It's important. If you can't prove that you are here,

There, the disappearance of Shi Pojun is closely related to you, unless someone can prove that you were somewhere at that time."

Xue Chunyu wanted to provide evidence that Liu Wuxie was present. Everyone knew that Liu Wuxie went out of the city alone that day to make things difficult for him.

"Shiro Xue, this question has deviated from the results of the investigation. Shi Pojun is brave and invincible, but his innocence is no more than that of an ordinary person. It is absolutely impossible that Shi Pojun's disappearance has anything to do with him."

Xu Yilin stood up and continued to ask questions. It was not just a crime of imposition, but also a final conclusion. Liu Wuxie did this.

"Master Xu, when it comes to this matter, I just want to ask you. All reports show that your son-in-law is born unable to practice.

He killed dozens of disciples of the Wan family and broke through the innate spirit. What is your Xu family's intention? You deliberately concealed his realm, which is enough to prove that you have evil intentions. I suspect that Shi Pojun died at the hands of your Xu family."

A coldness appeared on the corner of Xue Chunyu's mouth, and every word was heart-breaking. Everyone knew that Liu Wuxie was a good-for-nothing.

After his wedding, his personality changed, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. Outsiders did not believe it, thinking that he had been hiding his realm and deliberately confusing the public.

It took half a month to break through the innate spirit. No one here believed it, including Xu Yilin, who couldn't explain it clearly.

"It's a joke. If you hide your realm, you are planning something evil. I dare to ask Mr. Xue. The Xue family has kept a low profile and arranged for a large number of disciples to join the court as officials. Do you still want to rebel?"

Liu Wuxie suddenly asked back, this question is too sharp. In recent years, the Xue family has sent a large number of disciples into the court and occupied half of the country. What is their intention?

These days, Liu Wuxie has read a lot of information about the Imperial City, especially the Xue family, and knows it very well.

"You are so brave, you dare to contradict the investigation team."

Mr. Kong is the prince's first teacher and belongs to the royal family. If this news reaches the prince's ears, it will be extremely detrimental to the Xue family. Liu Wuxie's counterattack made Bai Qiu and others look at him meaningfully.

"Don't dare"

Liu Wuxie hurriedly bent down and saluted, pretending to be humble and well-founded in advancing and retreating. When it was time to be tough, he would never compromise.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger. Xu Yilin clenched his fists. He was stunned when he said what he just said. His counterattack was just right, and he unknowingly destroyed the unity within the investigation team.

City Lord's Mansion

Qi Enshi was reading a book when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Sir, someone has sent a letter and a package for you to open personally."

The housekeeper stood outside the door and said softly.

"Who sent it here?" Qi Enshi.

"A child said that someone gave him three gold coins to deliver something to the city lord's mansion." The steward.

"Bring it in"

Qi Enshi sat up and stretched. After today, Canglan City will be able to return to calm. His status will be settled once and for all, and he is in a good mood.

The butler took a package and a letter, placed them on the table, and bowed down before exiting.

Picking up the letter, tearing off the paint seal, pulling it out and shaking it open, there wasn't much writing on it.

When he saw the first word, Qi Enshi's body swayed and he almost fell down. He was dizzy and had stars in his eyes.

"How could this happen?"

His words were incoherent, and drops of cold sweat slipped from his forehead. Unknowingly, his back was soaked with cold sweat and he was completely unconscious.

Putting down the letter, he quickly opened the package. Inside was a file that had been stored for a long time. When he turned to the first page, a personal name appeared in front of him.

The scene from twenty-five years ago is still vivid in my mind, and it is recorded in detail in the file.

"Zhou Hu, you really have a trick up your sleeve."

Qi Enshi sat helplessly on the chair, with killing intent in his eyes.

"Very good, very good. I'm sure that Zhou Hu must have had contact with the Xu family. In other words, this letter was sent by someone from the Xu family. If you dare to threaten me, Qi Enshi, you are asking for your own death."

Qi Enshi still didn't know that Shi Po's army was wiped out, and the file was left back then, recording everything that happened in the town, including his murder and silence, and the massacre of innocent people.

"Here comes someone, prepare a car"

Qi Enshi shouted like a rooster with fried feathers, and the butler ran out quickly. It was just tea time, and the carriage was already ready.

"Master, where are we going?"

The butler drove the car himself and asked in a low voice, "The master's face is very ugly. What happened?"

"Go to Xu's house quickly."

The carriage quickly left the city lord's palace, crossed the rope bridge, and headed straight for the Xu family.

After fierce arguments in the Xu family's main hall, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Xu family.

"After our investigation, your Xu family's transportation team was attacked repeatedly and the goods were robbed. Eight days ago, your goods were successfully delivered to Canglan City. The man in black who robbed you disappeared mysteriously. Now
