Embers of Sword

Chapter 191 The Remnants of the Lin Family
Ten years ago, the remnants of the evil that colluded with the Demon Kingdom and caused chaos in the Imperial City!
Lin? !
Xie Xuanyi stood at the end of the long street in the dark night, and felt that the cold wind in the imperial city was really too biting... The real intention of the previous reward was fully revealed at this moment.

See the picture poorly.

The Holy Queen's attitude towards herself.

In fact, it has already been made clear.

From the moment he rejected the Qing Falcon soul contract.

The Holy Queen...treated "Xie Zhen" as a knife.

If you cannot hold the sharpest knife in this world in your own hand, you will have to use the force of the knife to cut it to other places you want to cut.

The turmoil in the imperial city ten years ago has long been an old account that cannot be settled.

According to Yuan Jimo, those who should have been executed back then had already been executed.

An old case from ten years ago...the reason it was brought up was simply because someone provided a key clue.

The palace will certainly not announce the details of the case, but after tonight, two extremely important news will come out.

First, all the remnants of the Lin family were executed.

Second, Xie Zhen was rewarded by the imperial city and became the youngest marquis in Da Chu in recent years.

These two pieces of news came almost in no particular order.

As the saying goes, "No reward without merit."

The Holy Empress bestowed the title of Jianqi Hou on Xie Zhen, which must be due to something he had done… Even if everyone in the world came to investigate Xie Zhen’s “traces” in the Imperial City, they would not be able to find any contribution Xie Zhen had made to Da Chu.

The only contribution.

Maybe it was the palace I entered tonight.

……

……

Qin family mansion.

Jiang Qihu was on pins and needles.

He came to visit Qin Baihuang on the orders of his master.

Unexpectedly, the Qin Mansion happened to hold a banquet tonight.

Except for the second son of the Qin family who was in seclusion in Taoism, all the others were present. Even other noble families in the capital who had close relations with the Qin family came to the dinner.

When Jiang Qihu knocked on the door, a drama of "loving father and filial son" was being performed at the Qin Mansion.

The head of the Qin family mercilessly scolded his disappointing younger son in front of Jiang Qihu, and then took the opportunity of a banquet to express his apologies to Jiang Qihu.

Because of Qin Wanyang's unintentional mistake, the dispute at the city gate today caused inconvenience to Xie Zhen.

Now everyone in the world knows it.

Xie Zhen is the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven. Behind him is the Dasui Sword Palace. In addition... there is also a library.

To convey a message to Jiang Qihu is to convey a message to Chen Jingxuan.

At first, the stupid tiger didn't notice anything unusual. He just thought that the head of the Qin family was too polite. How could he hold on to such a "sincere" attitude of a king of a different surname? So he quickly returned the gift, thinking that the matter was simpler than expected.

Now that this misunderstanding has been resolved, I can say that I have accomplished my mission.

Jiang Qihu spoke briefly to Qin Baihuang, then prepared to say goodbye and return to the library to report.

But never expected.

Just as he was about to leave.

The Black Scale Guards of the Qin Mansion reported the latest developments in the imperial city.

Two messages.

One is that Xie Zhen went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

The other was that all the Black Cavalry of the Imperial City Division went out to the Lin family... and took control of the entire Lin family on charges of treason.

Now the Black Cavalry has surrounded the streets where the Lin family and related families live, and completely blocked them off!
The Imperial City Division's Black Cavalry can only be mobilized by two people.

As the second in command, Jiang Qihu did not receive any information at all. It was obvious that these black cavalry were the work of Yuan Jimo.

Looking at the surprisingly "lively" Qin family mansion and the packed seats of the Qin family's friendly families, Jiang Qihu felt a chill in his heart. Although his master called him "stupid tiger", he was never vague when it came to matters of life and death, and his sense of smell could even be said to be keen.

Lin Yu asked Xie Zhen about boxing at the city gate today.

In less than a few hours.

The Lin family was controlled... The Black Knights have not yet explained the reasons for controlling the Lin family, but judging from the current situation, it won’t be long before the Imperial City Bureau will provide evidence that convinces everyone.

It was such a coincidence, such a coincidence, for such a thing to happen when Xie Zhen entered the palace!

"Prince Qin, I am so sorry."

Jiang Qihu gritted his teeth and said, "What happened to the Lin family is really unexpected... I'm afraid I have to go to the scene to take a look."

"Second seat Jiang."

The Qin family patriarch held up the wine cup and said meaningfully, "What happened tonight was really shocking. The Holy Queen must have been 'furious', which is why she took such action. If there is no imperial decree from the palace, specifying that Jiang Cizuo should be involved in this case, it might be better to wait a little longer... It's always better to wait a little longer."

Jiang Qihu knew very well that this matter was under the full control of Yuan Jimo.

But he was eager to go home.

Even if you can't go to the scene, it would be good to go to the library and meet the teacher.

"Brother Jiang."

Qin Baihuang also noticed something was wrong. He stretched out his arm, pressed it on Jiang Qihu's shoulder, and said seriously, "Have you forgotten what the master told you before? You are not only the second in command of the Imperial City Division, but also the future head of the Jiang family. It is best not to get into trouble for what happened tonight."

……

……

When Xie Xuanyi arrived at Yong'an Street where the Lin Mansion was located.

The Black Cavalry of the Imperial City Division has surrounded the area tightly, and the gate of the Lin Mansion is in a state of desolation and ruin.

The Black Cavalry escorted the criminals from the Lin Mansion, put them on a prison cart, and sent them to the dungeon.

It is said that the nearly 100-year-old Lin family grandfather is no exception...

As for Lin Yu, Xie Xuanyi did not see him, but he saw some Wuzong disciples wearing cloth shirts.

These people looked at him with extremely cold expressions. It was obvious.

Yuan Jimo had already spread the news that he had entered the palace to receive an award... The streets of Yong'an were blocked. In addition to Wuzong's disciples, there were many other people standing in the dark, silently watching the young man who had come to Yong'an Street with Yuan Jimo.

These are all descendants of aristocratic garrison families who migrated from the northern border, just like the Lin family.

Because their parents had experienced life and death together, they inherited their parents' wishes and had a very good relationship with each other.

Also because of the Holy Order, the noble families of Northern County went south to the Imperial City and took root there. Without their roots, they would be nothing but floating duckweed.

If you want to live a good life, you need "unity".

The Lin family alone is still relatively weak.

But if several "Lin families" unite... they can become a force that cannot be ignored.

The Lin family was sealed off, awaiting questioning.

The ending of these noble families will not be too good. Currently, no one knows what case the Imperial City Bureau is investigating. All they know is that this investigation involves a very wide range. The two or three noble families that have the best relationship with the Lin family have also been surrounded by the Imperial City Bureau’s black cavalry, and it seems that they will be "taken away" as well.

And the one who started it all.

In their view, it was Yuan Jimo and Xie Zhen.

"Young Lord Xie, these looks...are you used to them?"

Yuan Jimo sat on the horse and calmly looked back at those gazes.

He said calmly, "Since I became the head of the Imperial City Division, I have seen too many such looks...but now, they probably want to kill you more than me."

The noble families of Beijun hate those shady and sneaky people who do things in a shameful way the most.

The Lin family was also sealed off, and Xie Zhen entered the palace at almost the same time.

If you say there is no relationship between the two, no one will believe it.

not to mention.

Lin Yu was just at the city gate, challenging Xie Zhen with a fist.

Anyone who looks at it can see that the seizure originated from Xie Zhen entering the palace and reporting to the Empress Dowager.

By sunrise, news of Jianqi Hou's reward spread throughout the imperial city.

This matter cannot be cleared up no matter what.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi silently stared at the dilapidated scene before him. In fact, he didn't care about these hateful looks. He had experienced too many similar things in his previous life.

Being misunderstood and hated.

This is nothing.

His previous method of solving these problems was very simple.

Kill the one who comes seeking revenge first.

Then kill the person who framed him.

But in this life, for some reason... a different emotion appeared in his heart.

This emotion is like the "heart calamity" born from the perfection of the Yin Spirit in the previous life and the calamity of questioning the conscience.

Xie Xuanyi suppressed the sword ringing in his heart and calmed his breathing.

"Thank you!!!"

At this moment.

From afar, there was a howl of grief and anger!

After the fight, the unconscious Lin Yu was sent to Wuzong for recuperation.

He was not even aware of the case being investigated by the Imperial City Division this time… Since the case to be investigated happened ten years ago, when Lin Yu was only thirteen years old, important figures of Emperor Wuzong stepped in to protect him, waiting for the progress of the investigation into the case and cooperating with the Imperial City Division in interrogations at any time.

After Lin Yu woke up, he learned the current situation and rushed to the scene. With the help of his fellow disciples, he came to Yong'an Street and saw the blocked Lin Mansion and his father being taken to the prison van!

as well as……

Standing among the black cavalry, Xie Zhen is next to Yuan Jimo!
Lin Yu roared, broke free from the support of several fellow apprentices, and ran towards Xie Zhen.

His hair stood on end with rage, and his clothes were shaken by his blood and energy.

The previous battle.

He was defeated in just one move.

He knew that he was no match for Xie Zhen, but at this moment... he still rushed forward!

The warrior got angry and blood splattered five steps away.

The one who splatters blood is either the enemy or yourself.

Lin Yu was a pure warrior. He could not accept this kind of situation. He just stood there cowardly.

Boom!
The punch created a rolling wave of air and smashed towards Xie Xuanyi's face.

Yuan Jimo retreated as soon as he saw Lin Yu, and sent out the voice of his soul, asking the black cavalry to disperse and not stop Lin Yu from taking action.

Xie Xuanyi did not take the attack.

He silently took a step back, allowing the punch to miss.

From beginning to end.

Xie Xuanyi's eyes were not on Lin Yu... When Lin Yu appeared, he noticed the center where all the disciples of Wuzong gathered.

Wuzong’s eldest senior brother, Wu Yue.

At this moment, the tall figure standing in the crowd, with an imposing manner like a dragon, had eyes full of disdain and contempt.

The whole long street is like this.

"Before today, many of these people may have admired you, but after today... they probably just want to kill you."

Yuan Jimo's voice transmission reached Xie Xuanyi's heart.

The head of the Imperial City Bureau looked around the long street with great satisfaction, looking at the gaze that he hated the most, and stared at Xie Zhen with disgust.

He smiled and said, "Xie Zhen, I know you are very powerful. Prince Jiangning is no match for you, and the senior brother of Wuzong is probably no match for you either. But if the whole world stands against you, can you really kill them?"
