It was really a slap in the face for such a huge mess to have happened in his hands.
He had been in the Heaven Inspectorate for so long, but he had never been slapped in the face like this. It would be a lie if he wasn’t angry.
“I see.” Xu Bai rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
He instantly understood the profound meaning behind Ji Qiao Pavilion.
He wanted to use Ji Xiaojian to test the other party’s background. He only admitted to the Miao Family so as not to disrupt his plan to go to jail.
However, it seemed that the plan did not work. The other party reacted quickly and decisively. They killed Mecha Arrow almost at the moment it happened.
“Lord Xu, tell me the truth. Is this matter particularly complicated?”Song De said helplessly.
He had a feeling that things weren’t that simple. Xu Bai was definitely hiding a huge secret.
If that was the case, how he should go was the most important thing.
To be in the Heaven Inspectorate, he had to have some foresight. If he didn’t take the right path, it might be a wrong path.
The corners of Xu Bai’s mouth curled up as he said slowly,””Actually, it’s not very difficult. Do you really want to know?”
Song De was slightly stunned but quickly understood. This was not something he could know. He quickly said,”No, no, forget it.”
He knew that in this day and age, it was better to ask less to live longer.
“Alright, Lord Song, you should follow your train of thought. Don’t make too big of a change. Also, Little Arrow was poisoned at your place.”Xu Bai reminded.
Song De hurriedly nodded and was about to turn around and leave. However, he had only taken two steps when he stopped. He turned around and patted his head. “I almost forgot the most important thing.”
As he spoke, he walked closer.
“Brother Xu, right now, in the Purple Wood Mansion, all the major families are working together to pressure me, saying that they want me to severely punish the murderer. What do you think of this?”
“Pressure?” Hearing this, Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.”
He could tell that this was a classic example of using public opinion to mislead Song De.
However, he didn’t have any opinion.
This was just the beginning. How would he know the other party’s subsequent plans?
However…
It wasn’t that he didn’t have any countermeasures.
Xu Bai’s eyes lit up.”
Song De’s face was full of confusion. He couldn’t figure out what Xu Bai was thinking, but he still did as he was told and left.
Not long after, Zhou Manor’s Ling was brought into the cell by Song De.
Before you see him, you hear his voice.
“Hahaha, could it be that you’ve been here for too long and are too lonely? This official can go to Spring Rain Pavilion and find a few people to relieve Lord Xu’s boredom?”
“You can do this?” Xu Bail s eyes lit up.
What a freeloader!
No one could refuse a free ride.
However, when he thought about the current situation, he temporarily gave up on this plan.
“Cough cough, we are all elegant people. How can we linger in the brothels?””l called Lord Zhou here today because I want you to help me with something,” Xu Bai said seriously.”
In the end, Xu Bai seemed to have missed something, so he added,””As for the Spring Rain Pavilion, after I leave, Milord can invite me again.”
Zhou Manor’s order was speechless.
He was really just being polite.
He was different from Yun Zihai. He already had a family. If he went to Spring Rain Pavilion again, his family would probably cry, make a fuss, and hang themselves.
“Lord Xu, if you have anything to say, please say it.”The Zhou Manor Lord used all his strength to suppress his ridicule and said,”As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely help you to the end.”
“Actually, it’s not a big deal.” “Can you lock up all the heads of those families who are causing trouble?” Xu Bai asked.”
The Zhou Manor Token was stunned. Then, he reacted and shook his head.”l know they’re pressuring Lord Song, but they didn’t break the law, so I can’t just arrest them. ”
This was the truth. They really couldn’t just randomly arrest them. Otherwise, it would be a mess. If it reached the Emperor’s ears, it would probably cause a big problem.
“This isn’t a random grab.” Xu Bai pointed at Song De, then pointed at himself, and began to explain…
“First of all, I’m just being suspected, and it’s a suspicion without evidence, right?”
Song De and Zhou Manor’s Magistrate looked at each other and nodded in unison.
“Secondly, they are asking Lord Song to execute me as soon as possible, right?” The two men nodded again, and the two men were right.
“Finally, according to the laws of the Great Chu State, if they ask for the execution of a person who is only suspected, is it a crime of false accusation?” When the Zhou Manor Magistrate heard this, he was stunned.
“Isn’t that enough?” “Lord Zhou, I’ll have to trouble you with this.” Xu Bai shrugged.”
The Zhou Manor Master was silent. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll go and arrest him now!”
The matter of arresting people had to be handled by the government. The Heaven Inspectorate could not care about this.
Zhou Manor Leader had his own thoughts. He felt that Xu Bails visit to the capital was not simple, but he did not know what his intentions were.
However, one thing was right. Xu Bai was a popular person now, so it was fine to help him.
“Wait, Lord Zhou, I have another request.’Xu Bai smiled.
“Lord Xu, please speak.” The Zhou Manor Lord stopped in his tracks.”
“There are too few cells. Why don’t we lock those people in the same cell as me?”As Xu Bai spoke, his smile became even brighter..
