C176 Xia Houlie's Goal
However, he looked at this little girl fiercely, wanting to use his eyes to intimidate her. However, this little girl wasn't afraid at all, she was also staring at him.
"You are slandering me! What evidence do you have to prove that Liu Hongxing robbed?" Captain Liu immediately broke out in cold sweat. He understood that this matter was troublesome, but he still hastily said.
"You know very well whether he is slandering you or not." The little girl coldly harrumphed, and at the same time, she looked at Xiahou Lieh respectfully. Ying Ying bowed and said, "Xiahou Young Master Lieh, you just need to ask the people around you and everything will be clear. I think they all saw what happened just now."
This little girl was just a receptionist of Chamber of Commerce Bailee. Naturally, she did not have the courage to go against the captain of the Lai Yuan City's guards team like Captain Liu, but Wan Lingxiu was standing beside her.
These were all quietly guided by Wan Lingxiu just now.
Wan Lingxiu's mind was meticulous. She had long noticed the corpses lying on the ground. Moreover, she was very clear about the scandal between Captain Liu and his brother. Hence, she had a plan in her heart and let this little girl speak it out.
Another thing was that Shen Yih was not only her benefactor, she had saved his life even if it was to repay her kindness.
Furthermore, he was the person that Xiahou Young Master Lieh had been looking for for for a long time. He must be extremely important to Xiahou Young Master Lieh.
The captain of a small guard team and Shen Yih. It was clear which one of them was more important in Xiahou Lieh's heart.
Sure enough.
Xiahou Lieh secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression was very serious. He frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? Tell me, what exactly is going on!"
"This..."
These people looked at each other, not daring to answer for a moment.
Xiahou Lieh stared and said, "What are you afraid of? What is there to tell the truth? When the time comes, whoever dares to threaten you with this matter, I will make the decision for you! Don't tell me you don't trust me? "
This, Young Master Lieh, we naturally believe you. "What happened was exactly what that little girl said. We all saw it with our own eyes."
"Young Master Lieh, I saw Liu Hongxing slandering this young man at the entrance of the inn. He wanted to rob his storage bag."
"After this young man rejected the offer, it was Liu Hongxing's men who attacked first. That's why this young man chose to fight back."
"Captain Liu is here. He attacked this young man indiscriminately, and that's why he's behaving like this."
These people said. One sentence to each other, they told him the rough story of what had happened.
Xiahou Lieh had a general idea of what had happened. His eyes were full of anger. He had never thought that there would be such a thing as robbery in his Lai Yuan City.
Even he didn't have the courage to do such a thing under the rules of the Lai Yuan City, but the younger brother of a small guard captain was actually so daring?
"Xiahou Young Master Lieh, they, they are slandering me. I only wanted to capture him because I saw him kill someone on the street. I just wanted to bring him back for interrogation." Captain Liu knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice.
"Is that so? Since you said that they are slandering me, I will have to ask them about it." Xiahou Lieh said coldly, "This isn't the first time that Liu Hongxing has done such a thing in Lai Yuan City, right?"
"This, this isn't it." The people who had just spoken hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Actually, many of us in Lai Yuan City know about this, but none of us dare to offend Captain Liu."
"There are many foreign Young Master and Young Master. Once Liu Hongxing has his eyes on them, not many of them will be able to escape. " Most of them will choose to spend money to avoid disaster, and those who are not convinced will disappear very soon. "
"Some of those people's corpses were found outside Lai Yuan City, and some of them didn't even leave their corpses behind."
"He would often stay at the doors of the major trading companies and search for his targets. Now, many people are afraid and don't dare to go to the trading companies anymore."
These people discussed animatedly and told Liu Hongxing everything that Liu Hongxing had done.
"Okay! Very good!" Xiahou Lieh's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Young Master Lieh, I, I don't know anything about this!" Captain Liu said with a trembling voice.
Xiahou Lieh said coldly, "You don't know anything about this? Very well, then hand over your Spirit Ring and storage bag. I want to take a look. There's nothing inside that doesn't belong to you!"
"This..." A trace of despair flashed across Captain Liu's eyes.
He originally thought that Xiahou Lieh would slowly interrogate him, but he did not expect Xiahou Lieh to make him hand over the Spirit Ring in front of everyone.
He clearly knew what was inside the Spirit Ring. The things inside were robbed from Young Master's brothers from other places.
Once the Spirit Ring was handed over, the truth would be revealed.
Captain Liu said with a trembling voice, "Young Master Lieh, on account of me risking my life for the Lai Yuan City for more than ten years, I am willing to resign from the position of captain. Please forgive me this time."
A struggle flashed across Xiahou Lieh's face. He quietly looked at Shen Yih.
Shen Yih's expression was very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Xiahou Lieh took a deep breath. If it was any other time, he might have really cared about the old relationship. But today, he had offended Shen Yih, and he had been pointed out in front of everyone.
Furthermore, what he had done had gone too far.
"Hand it over." Xiahou Lieh said faintly.
Captain Liu had lost all hope. His whole body was trembling. All of a sudden, he raised his head, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Xiahou Lieh, you forced me to do this! I have risked my life for your Xiahou Family for so many years, but you didn't even show me any mercy! "Then don't blame me for being impolite!" He waved his long spear. One of the guards beside him was stabbed to death by his spear. Taking advantage of this gap, he ran out.
"Xiahou Lieh, your Xiahou Family will wait for my revenge!"
"How dare you!"
Xiahou Lieh's eyes widened. He never thought that this Captain Liu would have the guts to kill someone and flee.
"Flaming Slash!"
Xiahou Lieh swung his blade. The dragon blood blade was covered in flames. It carried a long blade light and slashed at Captain Liu.
Captain Liu was running away in a panic, but when he felt a strong killing intent coming from behind him, it was already too late for him to turn around and fight back.
"No!"
Captain Liu only had time to scream before he saw the knife hit his back. He was a peak Ninth Layer of Sight Stage Expert, but he was cut in half, turning into a charred corpse.
"Hmph!"
Xiahou Lieh stepped forward and kicked him away.
His Flaming Slash couldn't deal with a genius like Shen Yih, but it was still very easy for him to deal with a small figure like Captain Liu.
The surrounding onlookers and guards were silent for a dozen seconds before they started cheering.
Many of them had been persecuted by these two brothers. Now, with the death of Captain Liu and his brother, it was equivalent to giving Lai Yuan City a huge disaster.
As for the other wastrels, they probably wouldn't have the courage to continue being arrogant and despotic during this period of time. They would probably restrain themselves for a long period of time.
"Brother Shen, you see, I handled this matter. Are you satisfied?" After settling Captain Liu's matter, Xiahou Lieh came to Shen Yih's side and asked.
He was three or four years older than Shen Yih, so it was not an exaggeration to call him brother Shen Yih.
Shen Yih nodded slightly. This Captain Liu deserved it, he couldn't blame anyone else.
"Brother Shen Yih, this, that Toad Wood Ancient Snake, was it really you who killed it?" Xiahou Lieh asked curiously.
"Yes." Shen Yih did not intend to hide this matter. Furthermore, Wan Lingxiu was there. It was impossible to hide it even if he wanted to.
"Haha, that Toad Wood Ancient Snake has given me a headache for a long time. I have been unable to do anything to it. Not only is it powerful, it is also very cunning. I reckon only Brother Shen can kill it."
Although Xiahou Lieh knew very well that Shen Yih was the mysterious genius who forced the Toad Wood Ancient Snake to self-destruct, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart when he heard the name of Shen Yih.
"Brother Shen, I really admire you. That, do you have the time now? If you have the time, can you come to our Xiahou Family and have a seat?"
"No need. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Shen Yih shook his head and said.
He was not very familiar with Xiahou Lieh, so he naturally did not have the intention of visiting him.
As soon as Shen Yih's voice faded, the group of people beside him revealed surprised expressions.
Although Xiahou Lieh was very warm to people, he rarely invited others to his home. Today, he finally invited him to his home, but he actually rejected it?
This was the Xiahou Family of Lai Yuan City, wasn't he afraid of offending the Xiahou Family by directly rejecting it?
Wan Lingxiu's facial expression changed slightly. She was about to explain to Shen Yih, but she didn't expect that Xiahou Lieh would be so broad-minded. He didn't get angry because of it. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Shen, don't reject me so quickly. I'll be frank with you. Actually, I have something to ask Brother Shen for your help."
Help?
Shen Yih was very curious. If he had any help, he would need his help.
"It's just that this matter is of great importance. There are many people here, so it's not convenient to talk about it. Brother Shen, regardless of whether you agree to my request or not, I hope that you can come to my Xiahou Family. In the name of my Xiahou Family, I would like to invite Brother Shen Yih to be a guest elder of my family." Xiahou Lieh said sincerely.
Guest elder?
As soon as Xiahou Lieh finished his words, the sound of people gasping could be heard from the side.
The Xiahou Family was a noble family of the dynasty. Only Taoist, who was at least Third Layer, could be a guest elder of the Xiahou Family. No one had expected Xiahou Lieh to invite a Sight Stage genius like Shen Yih.
"Brother Shen Yih, the salary of a guest elder of the Xiahou Family may not be much, but Yue Yue will at least provide you with dozens of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasuress. It won't be a problem to provide you with your daily Cultivation." Xiahou Lieh said.
Wan Lingxiu looked at Shen Yih with envy. If she could become a guest chamberlains of Xiahou Family, not to mention the resources, perhaps no one in Lai Yuan City would have the courage to provoke her.
This time, even Shen Yih felt a little surprised. He was really curious about what had happened to this Xiahou Lieh. He didn't hesitate to pay such a huge price to ask her to be his guest.
It had to be understood that most of the time, being a guest elder was just a symbolic form of address. Even if he agreed to be a guest elder of the Xiahou Family, the Xiahou Family had no right to order him around.
If they wanted to ask him for help, they would have to pay another price. Therefore, when inviting foreign delegates, all the major families had to be very careful with their choices.
It seemed like this matter was very important to the Xiahou Family.
Furthermore, Xiahou Lieh was a man with a good heart. He was completely different from ordinary noble disciples and geniuses.
Shen Yih was curious as well. He nodded and said, "Let's go."
He wanted to see why Xiahou Lieh wanted to see him.
