Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 34
(11)

After a chaotic morning, Nie Yun and the others finally caught the culprit and returned to Shifu.In front of the living room, there was still the tree full of talismans, but this time there were a few more people traveling together.

Shi Renjie tied his hands in front of him and knelt on the ground in the center of the hall, with Nie Yun beside him.Behind him are Zhao Kuo, Ajuan, Bai Feng, Murong Yan, Zhao Xiaomei, Huyan and Su Qing.They are waiting for Shi Hongtu's arrival to hold a public trial against Shi Renjie.

Zhao Kuo, who had white gauze wrapped around his forehead, asked Ajuan beside him in a puzzled way, "Aren't those two people the thieves who wounded me and kidnapped you? Why aren't they the same as Shi Renjie? Bind your feet?"

"Uh..." Aju scratched his cheeks and hesitated: "I don't know the reasons, but they did catch Shi Renjie later..."

Nie Yun, who was in front of him, turned his head and interjected, "Brother Zhao, let's discuss the matter in detail later when the adoptive father arrives!"

Leaning less, Shi Hongtu wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve as he walked to the seat in the middle of the hall with Madam Xun's help.The chair was made of red locust wood, and the table next to it, as well as the empty chair beside the table, did not seem to be anything special at first glance.It's just after knowing the cause and effect, I can trace the cause: Madam Xun could only stand by Shi Hongtu's side, not sitting on the side, when she was entertaining guests. I'm afraid it was one of the manifestations of her low status.That empty seat must be the seat of another Shi family's owner, Shi Hongtu's wife "Xue'er".In Shi Hongtu's heart, Xun Yuxue has always been just a substitute, perhaps even just a "good medicine" to relieve his lovesickness and fatigue.All in all, it is unlikely that there is the fiery love that innocent girls expect, and some are just cold touches.

"Father, have you taken the medicine today?" Nie Yun asked worriedly, looking at Shi Hongtu, who was weak.

"Fang Cai Xue'er has already made me take it. The recipe prescribed by Taoist Taiping really works." Shi Hongtu wiped the medicine stains off his mouth and said, "These two are..."

"Oh! This is the famous 'big thief' Su Qing, and that is the tiger eye from 'Dragon Tiger Villa'."

Su Qing bowed his hands and said respectfully, "I saw Mr. Shi before Su Qing."

"It's under the tiger's eye." Huyan looked at Shi Renjie who was kneeling on the ground with disdain, and sneered: "Shi Hongtu, who is famous all over the world for his benevolence, righteousness, and arrogance, actually gave birth to such a son who cheated his ancestors and ignored etiquette."

Shi Renjie gritted his teeth and refuted angrily: "You two traitors, how much benefit did that surnamed Nie give you!"

"The benefit is not much, I just thought about it a little." Su Qing replied: "If we stand on the side of Shi Gongzi, we will not only go against the morality and etiquette, but also deal with the masters of the Shi family. On the Young Master's side, you only need to deal with Young Master Shi. It's hard for me, Su Qing, to refuse such a cost-effective thing..."

"Brother, you have a better attitude. The adopted father will remember the old relationship, and everything will be done lightly!" Nie Yun said while stroking Shi Renjie's shoulder.

I saw Shi Renjie turn around abruptly, ditching this concern completely, and replied, "Nie Yun! You have been crushing me since I was a child, and now my father has given you the position of the young master. Obviously I am the only one. The blood of the Shi family!"

"Nie Barrier, shut up!" Shi Hongtu roared in the seat: "Don't you have any intention of repenting for what you have done? Dozens of lives on board, and your second uncle's life...cough... Cough." In the middle of the sentence, a few coughs stopped the anger.Then Shi Hongtu covered his mouth and coughed a few times, only to find that he coughed up blood!

Seeing this, Nie Yun hurriedly stepped forward to take care of it.But instead of showing signs of relief, Shi Hongtu's body trembled due to spasms.

"Mrs. Xun, what exactly are you serving your foster father!" Nie Yun asked eagerly, glaring at Madam Xun beside him.

"I... I don't know..." Madam Xun nodded in panic and took a half step back because of the fear on Nie Yunzhi's expression.

At this moment, Bai Feng and Murong Yan in the hall looked at each other for a while, and they couldn't help thinking of the conversation between Shi Renjie and Madam Xun in Xunxiang Pavilion that night.

"How many doses of the old man's medicine are left?"

"It's almost...will you keep your promise..."

Then, the two of them looked at Shi Renjie who was in front at the same time.Seeing his father in great pain and dying, there was no sign of concern or concern.Instead, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking forward to what would happen next.

"Cough...cough...uuuuuuuu!" After a moment, a large mouthful of blood spurted out from Shi Hongtu's mouth, causing his clothes and the brick floor in front of him to be soaked in the dark blood.

"Foster father!" Nie Yun was shocked, and stepped forward to help the old man who was already slumped on the chair.

"Yun'er...this Shi family...to you...Renjie...to you... um!" After these intermittent words, Shi Hongtu breathed out.

"Blood...Are those blood?" Zhao Xiaomei, who was in the hall, stroked her forehead, her footsteps were vain, and she spoke idly.Zhao Kuo, who was on the side, saw that she was about to faint and helped her.

Zhao Kuo murmured: "Tsk, I almost forgot that this silly girl was born unable to see blood, she fainted when she saw it."

Suddenly, Nie Yun next to the seat picked up the knife and walked straight towards Shi Renjie.When everyone looked at him, they could see that there were sporadic tears on his distorted face due to extreme grief and anger.

"You... you can't kill me!" Shi Renjie, who was originally kneeling on the ground, huddled back in fright when he saw the other party who was desperate for his life.The noble son in the golden silk clothes has disappeared.He then said, "I am the only descendant of the Shi family, don't forget that without the Shi family, you Nie Yun are nothing!"

Nie Yun didn't respond, he just grabbed the placket of his shirt with one hand, raised the knife and waved it away.However, the right hand holding the knife was entangled by Madam Xun's hands behind her.

"Please, let us go!" Mrs. Xun fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.I don't know whether it was because of fear and tears when seeing Shi Hongtu's untimely death, or because of worrying about his lover being killed.

The air seemed to be condensed, and several outsiders were silent because it was inconvenient to interfere in other people's family affairs. There was a stalemate between Nie Yun and Madam Xun for a moment.The only sound that could be heard around was the sobbing of Shi Renjie and Mrs. Xun. Other than that, it was as silent as death.After a while, Nie Yun exerted his strength to ask Mrs. Xun and moved it to the front.Because it was too sudden, Madam Xun lost her balance and fell towards Shi Renjie.

"Yu Xue! Quickly help me untie!" Shi Renjie burst into tears, seeing that his only accomplice still supported him like this, he was moved.

Seeing that Nie Yun was unmoved, Xun Yuxue hurriedly untied Shi Renjie's body, then kowtowed to Nie Yun, and said, "Thank you, Young Master Nie, for not killing me!"

"Xunfu... No..." Nie Yun's face was ashen, but his words were full of tenderness, and said, "Miss Yu Xue, you still have a great youth, it is indeed unfair for the Shi family to treat you like this... You should never do it again. Back to Wandeng Town, go to the other side!" After saying that, Nie Yun turned to face the direction of Shi Hongtu's body, and sent someone to prepare the coffin, and was silent for a long time.

Xun Yuxue raised her eyebrows with joy after hearing this, helped Shi Renjie up, and made a gesture to leave.But Shi Renjie broke away from her help and said to Nie Yun, "Nie Yun, don't think that I will thank you! Sooner or later, the foundation of the Shi family will return to the hands of the people of the Shi family, you are only temporarily hosting it!" Xun Yuxue next to him, for fear of angering Nie Yun, hurriedly stopped Shi Renjie from continuing to talk nonsense.The two stepped out of the Shifu gate together, and have not heard from each other since.

After the two left, everyone watched Shi Hongtu's corpse being carried away, and there was no one in the hall for a long time.The silence was not terminated until Zhao Xiaomei, who had fainted due to dizziness in Zhao Kuo's arms, regained consciousness.

"Brother, where's the big bad guy?" Zhao Xiaomei asked in a daze.

Zhao Kuo looked at Nie Yun helplessly, but did not answer.Then he walked over, patted Nie Yun on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Nie, are you alright?"

"Why?" Nie Yun said sadly, "I grew up with him, why did I get to where I am today?"

Su Qing stepped forward at this time and said inappropriately, "Well, Young Master Nie, when will you settle the account?"

After Nie Yun heard it, he reached out and searched his waist, took out a round token carved out of gold, and threw it at Su Qing.The latter caught it, puzzled: "This... this is not the same as what we said!"

"You have done things for Shi Renjie, and you have killed a lot of people. The shipwreck accident and the death of Shi Er's family, without the help of two high-level people, I'm afraid it would be difficult." Nie Yun faced Su Qing, majestic, and said: "The half of the family's property can be used to offset the dozens of lives with this token! As for the wanted order, I will help Brother Su to handle it."

Tiger Eye snatched the token from Su Qing's hand and shouted, "How much is such a small thing worth? How dare you fool us!"

"Brother Huyan, with this token, it is my Shi family, and my colleagues on the rivers and lakes will give me a little bit of noodles. At that time, how much money you take from various chambers of commerce will be counted on my Shi family's head. This way The arrangement is better than letting the two of you carry dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry on the road where the thieves are rampant, right?"

Su Qing observed the little baby intently, and suddenly said: "Oh! So that's the case! That's really thanks to Young Master Nie... No, it's time to call Patriarch Nie."

Nie Yun was silent.

"Then the two of us will retire first." Su Qing handed over to make an edit, and immediately left Shifu with Huyan.

At this time, in the living room, only Zhao Kuo and his party were left to accompany Nie Yun.In any case, the matter has come to an end, but the result is unacceptable.Everyone present thought so.But if Shi Renjie's conspiracy is not stopped, the Shi family's power will fall into his hands, and all the civilians in Wandeng Town will be affected.People always think that there is a perfect way to solve everything, but in the end, you still have to face that imperfect result.

Seeing that the matter was over, Bai Feng stepped forward and said to Nie Yun, "Brother Nie, you are a few years older than me, and you are very stable in handling things, which is convincing. I believe you will manage the Shi family better!"

"This matter could not be resolved without the help of Brother Bai and everyone else. I know that gold, silver and treasures will not fall into the eyes of a few of you, so I have prepared a special thing to show my gratitude. "Nie Yun waved his hand, motioning for several distinguished guests to follow.

Several people left there, moved to another place, and happened to pass the lotus pond in Shifu again.Seeing this little lotus flower, but not hearing the wonderful sound of the piano, I always felt that something was missing.This made Zhao Kuo and the others think of the first time they met Xun Yuxue. It's really impermanent!
After a while, everyone came to a building called "Treasure Pavilion".Nie Yun ordered someone to unlock the door and took out a long sword with a delicate and special shape.

"The name of this sword is 'Long Ming', and it was made by Yuan Fengzi, the number one swordsmith in the world who is known as a 'go-to-man' alive." Nie Yun held the sword and said, "This sword should be regarded as The thank you gift I gave to Brother Bai just replaced your destroyed old sword."

The scabbard of this sword is painted with delicate textures, which look like dragon patterns when viewed from a distance.However, upon closer inspection, there is another mystery: "White Snake Immortal?!!" Bai Feng said in shock.Then he drew the sword out of its sheath, and the body of the sword emitted a dazzling silver light. It seemed that this sword should be out of the sheath for the first time.

"It is said that this sword was originally forged by Yuan Fengzi for a person, but after it was cast, the person was never found again. Maybe the 'White Snake Immortal' is the name of that master?" Nie Yun said.

Bai Feng put the sword into the sheath, and cupped her hands gratefully, "Thank you Brother Nie for the gift of the sword!"

"Tomorrow is the last day of the Lantern Festival, don't you plan to stay longer?"

Zhao Kuo said: "Brother Nie's kindness, of course we will not refuse."

"Yeah! Yeah! I've never seen a sacrificial ceremony before!" The little sister also said.

Looking at Bai Feng's absent-minded look, Murong Yan was very worried, recalling that she had seen traces of "White Snake Immortal" in his memory, so she asked curiously, "Brother Feng, what's the matter with you? "

"Me?" Bai Feng avoided: "Uh... After participating in the festival tomorrow, let's leave!"

Ajuan said cheerfully: "Okay, I can finally have a good time!"
