“Men!” Xu Bai walked to the door and shouted outside.
A bailiff came in from outside and cupped his fists.”Greetings, Lord Xu. What’s the matter, Lord Xu?”
The Zhou Manor had already instructed that no matter what Xu Bai’s request was, they had to do their best to satisfy it. Therefore, the bailiffs were very respectful.
“Take these people to the other cells, as far away from me as possible.”Xu Bai said.
Since the matter was over, Xu Bai didn’t want to say anything more.
“Yes, sir!” the bailiff replied.
The family heads came in with dumbfounded expressions and were taken away with dumbfounded expressions. They were taken to a cell far away from Xu Bai.
After everyone left, Xu Bai looked at an empty place and said,””Lord Song?”
Song De’s footsteps sounded. He walked to Xu Bai’s cell and said, “”Lord Xu, it seems that the other party is really flawless.”
“Not really.” Xu Bai said,” Sir Song, you don’t have to stay here with me. Go and check the other families. Those who didn’t join forces to put pressure on me might have problems.’”‘
Since they were exerting pressure through joint forces, naturally, the more the better. However, there were only more than 20 families now. Clearly, there was something fishy going on.
If the other party wanted to get rid of him, this was undoubtedly the best way.
When the matter was exposed, the other families who were not involved would naturally lower their suspicions to the minimum.
“Actually, I’m also preparing to investigate,” Song De said. “But Lord Xu, do you think it’s better to investigate openly or secretly?”
As the chief of the Heaven Inspectorate, Song De was quite capable. He had handled many cases and naturally understood this principle.
What he was conflicted about was the light and darkness.
There was a difference between investigating openly or secretly.
If he investigated openly, he would alert the enemy, but it would be easier for him to launch a surprise attack and have an unexpected effect.
Investigating in secret would not alert the enemy, but many times, it would be difficult. After all, it was done in secret. Of course, it would be very secretive, and many operations could not be used.
“Of course, we’ll investigate and monitor in secret.”Xu Bai said,” There’s no need to investigate too carefully. We just need to monitor them. As long as the other party wants to make a move on these chess pieces, they will definitely make a move. I just don’t know if Lord Song has enough people?’”‘
Song De was the only one on this trip, but there were dozens of other clans that did not participate.
“I’ll borrow someone from Lord Zhou.” Song De’s meaning was very clear.” Now that things have come to this, I actually understand that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lord Xu. However, the true identity of the person behind this must be investigated. Otherwise, it would be a slap to the face of my Heaven Inspectorate.”
All the signs were clear now. They just lacked the most crucial evidence. Otherwise, Xu Bai would be able to go out at will.
“It doesn’t matter if I go out or not.” ” As long as I’m here, they will take action, ” Xu Bai said with a smile.” That’s the most important thing.”‘
“Alright, then Lord Xu, be careful. I’ll go and investigate.”Song De didn’t dawdle and turned to leave.
After Song De left, Xu Bai leaned back on the recliner and quietly watched the progress bar.
The progress bar was slowly increasing. This [Secret Technique of
Manipulation] was almost done.
At the lakeside far away from the prison.
The man in the bamboo hat sat on the ground, not fishing. He just looked at the lake, motionless, as if he was in a daze.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. The surface of the lake was as calm as water, but the bamboo hat man’s heart was not calm.
Ji Xiaojian was dead. He had erased all the clues, but the result was that there was no progress at all. On the contrary, he had suffered losses one after another.
“Does this Xu Bai really have some heaven-defying means?”the bamboo hat man thought to himself as he looked at the calm lake. At this moment, the man in black rushed over on time.
“Report! ”
The man in black shouted with hurried footsteps.
“Speak!” The bamboo hat man withdrew his thoughts and glanced at the black-robed man.
The man in black hurriedly stopped and panted heavily.”Sir, it’s over.”
“Nonsense!” The bamboo hat man was furious.” What do you mean by that? Speak properly!
The man in black was shocked and quickly calmed himself down. He said, “Those who joined forces to pressure them were all tightly held in prison. They said that…The crime of false accusation.”
“Boom!”
A terrifying pressure emanated from the bamboo hat man.
The surface of the lake was suddenly blown up by the explosion, and the calm was broken.
“Good, good, good! Very good!” The bamboo hat man was so angry that his entire body was trembling.”What a good move to turn defense into offense. We captured all the people who were pressuring us, and there was no one pressuring us anymore. It was indeed wonderful!’”‘
The man in black did not dare to say a word, afraid that he would offend the bamboo hat man.
The bamboo hat man didn’t say anything. He just stood by the lake and looked at the turbulent surface of the lake.
The surroundings fell silent again.
After a long while, the bamboo hat man’s voice rang out.
“Since he has already done this…” “Send the Twelve Swords Formation over. I want his life!” the bamboo hat man said coldly.”
Although he appeared calm, the bamboo hat man was unable to hide the anger in his heart.
“Twelve Swords Formation?” “But Sir, they are our last trump card. If we can’t succeed…” The man in black shivered.
“Can’t succeed?” The man in the bamboo hat grabbed the collar of the man in black and said,””Who am I? I will not fail!”
The man in black subconsciously added,””But…”
This was only said subconsciously because the man in black did not know what
to say..
