The Emperor is Above

Chapter 288 Guqiu Yi clearly wants to kill me

There is murderous intent!
Qing Yi looked solemn and his heart sank.

When he came to the capital and entered the city this time, Zhonghang Shuo had a murderous intent.

He had a conflict with Zhonghang Shuo again at the Imperial College, and Zhonghang Shuo would never miss this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi subconsciously clenched the three-foot-long five-colored copper sword in his hand. This was his only support now.

However, after a fierce battle with the Enqi ghost baby, Qing Yi's arms were in great pain, and his hands were cracked with fine wounds in the battle. Whether he could protect himself from the peak powerhouse of the second-grade judge realm was also a huge problem.

"Tap - step -"

Zhonghang Shuo was wearing a cape embroidered with gold thread. He glanced at Qing Yi with murderous intent, but turned around and sneered at Yun Shengyan, Yue Chengqing, and Linghu Ming.

“I heard that the three of you joined Guqiu Yi’s Beihuang Grain and Oil Group yesterday and made a big deal. I’m afraid you have forgotten your loyalty to the Lord?

Guqiu Yi was so arrogant that he dared to murder the young master in the capital. If I hadn't arrived here in time, I'm afraid you three would have let him go for personal reasons!"

"Zhonghang Shuo, even though you are the chief priest of the Worship Hall, you must have evidence for what you say and do. How can you slander me so recklessly?"

Yun Shengyan retorted with an unhappy look, "If the three of us hadn't arrived here in time, do you think the young master would still be alive?

What's more, there are indeed undercurrents in the capital city now. Not only is there a man-eating monster hiding in the dark, but when we passed by "Tang Sanzang" just now, we also killed several cat ghosts and servants of the gods.

"Guqiu Yi Shangshi has always been a calm person, and even the Lord holds him in high regard. How could he kill someone for no reason? Perhaps there was only a misunderstanding between him and the young master."

When Qing Yi heard Yun Shengyan's words, he felt relieved. It was not because the other party was making excuses for him, but because he heard the news about the group of cat ghosts and gods' servants.

Since several cats, ghosts, gods and servants around the store have been killed, Shi Ludan and Tun Shigu should not be in any danger in the short term.

"Misunderstand?"

Zhong Xingshuo's sneer deepened after hearing this. He looked at Xing Jiyin who was hiding behind Yun Shengyan and the other two, and asked with a gentle smile, "Young Master, do you think this was a misunderstanding?"

"This is not a misunderstanding at all. Guqiu Yi clearly wants to kill me!"

At this moment, Xing Jiyin completely turned into a wronged child. He went around from behind Yun Shengyan, rushed forward to hold Zhong Xingshuo's long legs, and sobbed,
"Mr. Big, luckily you arrived in time. You killed the monster and saved me at the beginning of the year. Now I can only ask you to take charge of the matter. Kill Guqiu Yi and avenge me!"

Xing Jiyin's words and actions more or less accused the three of them of favoring Qing Yi, and Yun Shengyan and Yue Chengqing looked increasingly embarrassed.

Linghu Ming looked thoughtful and said, "Young Master, what you said is wrong. Guqiu Yi is a vassal of the emperor, how could the Gongfeng Hall order him to be executed?
If a noble official breaks the law, only the Weiwei can judge him according to the order of the sovereign, make clear his crime and impose punishment. Only then can he be punished. This title and position cannot be lent to others. "

"I don't care, I don't care, I want Guqiu Yi to die now!"

Xing Jiyin hugged Zhonghang Shuo's long legs and cried loudly, making full use of his status as the youngest son of Xing Hou and acting unreasonably, which was consistent with his previous behavior.

"Don't worry, young prince. Guqiu Yi humiliated the eldest prince before, but the prince was kind and generous and did not pursue or punish him. Instead, he respected and rewarded him a lot.

I thought he would reflect on his mistakes and repay the great kindness of the Lord, but unexpectedly, it encouraged his arrogance and he even wanted to harm the young prince in the capital."

Zhonghang Shuo gently stroked Xing Jiyin's head, his eyes full of murderous intent as he said, "Although you are the ruler of a country, you still have feelings for your children. How can you allow a vassal to be so arrogant and kill his offspring?
Guqiu Yi's crime is extremely serious, and the evidence is irrefutable. I will kill him with my sword today, and you will not blame me even if you find out."

"The crime is extremely serious? The evidence is irrefutable?"

Qing Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He hadn't spoken to defend himself because there was no need to explain. When someone is prejudiced against you, no matter what you do or say, it will not change the person's prejudiced view.

Yun Shengyan, Yue Chengqing and Linghu Ming stood in front of Zhong Xingshuo with serious expressions.

Although the scene of Qing Yi stabbing Xing Jiyin with the sword just now was irrefutable, the three of them felt something was wrong from Xing Jiyin's urgent intention to kill Qing Yi.

First of all, there was no grudge between Qing Yi and Xing Jiyin, and Qing Yi was about to be appointed as a senior official with a bright future. How could he murder Xing Jiyin for no reason?
Secondly, there is indeed a man-eating monster hiding in the capital. Today, a group of cat ghosts and gods' servants suddenly appeared and wanted to go to Qing Yi's shop to kill people, which seemed to be an attempt to silence them.

Considering the many doubts, Yun Shengyan said firmly: "Zhonghangshuo, no matter whether the young master was wronged or there were other reasons, the fate of Senior Sergeant Guqiu Yi can only be decided by you, how can you kill him without authorization?"

"hehe?"

The murderous intent in Zhonghang Shuo's eyes became stronger and stronger. He glanced at Yun Shengyan, Yue Chengqing, and Linghu Ming and said in a cold tone, "Are you going to stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Yuan and Qi Ce, who had been watching with a sneer behind Zhong Hangshuo, also stood up and drew out the long knife and sword at their waist.

Yun Shengyan and the other two looked solemn. Originally there were ten great priests in the Worship Hall, and Zhong Xingshuo was the strongest chief priest. Three of them died in the battle of Sheri City, and one was seriously injured and has not recovered since. Now that the number of people is equal, he has no confidence to stop Zhong Xingshuo.

However, he still tried to persuade him: "Zhonghang Shuo, the title, honor, disgrace, life and death of the ministers are all decided by you, if you want to steal your name and weapon, don't blame us for stopping you."

"Haha, I'm just venting my anger for the young master. Don't put the blame on me. It's you, Yun Shengyan, who's quite courageous. Let's see if you can stop him!"

Seeing that the three men refused to retreat, Zhonghang Shuo's face became even more furious. He threw a punch without hesitation, and the air in front of his fist seemed to be deformed.

"Boom bang bang-"

The two strong men from the Worship Hall quickly exchanged blows with each other. Even though they only used their fists, the wind from their fists hit the walls and houses on both sides of the alley, causing bursts of brick and stone breaking sounds.

The houses built with bricks and stones by the people in the capital were very solid. Even a strong man with a sledgehammer could hardly destroy them. However, facing these fist winds, they were like paper folds, shaking and bricks and stones kept falling.

The people living around were in panic, crying and running. From time to time, miserable screams were heard, and it was obvious that someone had suffered misfortune in the battle.

When Wei Yuan, Qi Ce, Yue Chengqing and Linghu Ming also started fighting separately, the noise caused by the battle of the six priests was even several times more brutal than the melee of more than 2,000 soldiers of the Third Division and the City Guards.

"Xilulu——"

"cry--"

The city guards in the lower city came quickly with whistles. They thought that a strong enemy had appeared in the capital, but they found that it was six strong men from their own worship hall who were fighting. They were stunned and didn't know what to do.

When Captain Qiu Yuan arrived, he urged them to quickly evacuate the nearby civilians, and personally brought Simas, colonels, and battalion lieutenants above the seventh rank to the nearby area to rescue the injured.

The Eagle Guards of the central city circled in the sky and did not dare to approach. The battle between a second-grade judge-level strongman, even just the aftermath, was not something they could withstand.

After all, Yun Shengyan was no match for Zhong Xingshuo, a peak second-grade judge. After he was injured, Yue Chengqing and Linghu Ming were powerless to stop him.

"If the three of you hadn't stopped it today, how could so many people have been killed and injured? Just wait for me to impeach you in front of the Lord."

Zhonghang Shuo glanced at the three of them with a sneer, then strode towards Qingyi with murderous intent.
