"I saw the dark shadow take out a bead from his arms, and it shone brightly, and it suddenly shone like daylight, and I saw his appearance. It was our young master.
He hid the beads carefully, and then left sneakily. I hid quickly and didn't dare to say anything.
Turning around, I realized that last night, there was a thief at Shilang Zhang’s house and a night-light pearl was lost. Only then did I realize that the young master was actually the Plum Blossom Thief.
But because the young master is usually very good to us, I really can't feel sorry for him, so I never dared to tell anyone. But the young master went too far and killed so many people, and I couldn't bear it in my conscience, so I went to tell Fourth Master Long..." Laifu said with emotion and sincerity on his face.
"Laifu! You are so brave. You dare to slander the young master. I will beat you to death!" Li Zhong became more and more angry as he listened. He couldn't help but stepped forward and wanted to beat him.
"Stop, are you going to kill people and silence them?" Long Xiaoyun saw this and immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying righteously, "Even if you silence one person, can you silence the mouths of all the people in the world?"
“That’s right! If you want to kill people and silence them, do you think our seven major sects are just decorations?”
“Li Xunhuan, you have done many evil things, today is the day you die!”
"Plum Blossom Thief, stop making excuses and capture him as soon as possible!"
The seven major sects, the eight major families, the nine major gangs, and all the Jianghu people all shouted.
Those who do not have enough determination are accused and intimidated by them, and they have to admit guilt even if they are not guilty.
But what kind of person is Xiang Nan? He has experienced countless battles, big and small, even sat on the Dragon Throne, and founded a dynasty. He treats thousands of troops as nothing, how can he be intimidated by such a small number of people? he.
…
"This is just a family statement, how can it be counted." Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said, "Besides, there are only witnesses and no physical evidence, how can we convict?"
“Li Xunhuan, you are really a tough-tongued duck who can’t chew your meat until it’s rotten.” Long Xiaoyun sneered, “I was also afraid that the evil servant would make false accusations, so I ordered him to get evidence.
Everyone, please see, this is the evidence! "
As he spoke, Long Xiaoyun took out a bead from his arms, which was as big as a chicken and radiated light all over. Although the brightness is greatly attenuated under sunlight, it can still be seen that this bead is extraordinary.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he couldn't help but duck to the side.
As far as he knows, luminous pearls are generally made of ground fluorescent stones. Although they can emit light at night, their brightness is not high, even compared to a five-watt light bulb.
And this bead is so bright, I am afraid it may not contain nuclear radiation, and it may cause cancer if it is exposed to it for a long time. Even if it were given to him for free, he would not take such a dangerous bead.
Other people in the world were not as knowledgeable as Xiang Nan. Seeing that the bead was so bright under the sun, they couldn't help but be surprised, and they all came forward to take a look.
"Everyone, this is the imperial luminous pearl that was stolen from Zhang Shilang's house." Long Xiaoyun held up the luminous pearl in his hand and asked sternly, "Li Xunhuan, what else do you have to say?"
“Yes, Li Xunhuan, do you still want to quibble?”
“Li Xunhuan, the personal and material evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?”
“Li Xunhuan, you kill people and steal goods, you are greedy for money and lust, today is the day you die!”
All the Jianghu people shouted together.
“Even if this bead is the imperial luminous pearl stolen from Zhang Shilang’s house, it doesn’t mean that the bead was obtained from Daxia Li’s house.” Sun Xiaohong said, her voice as clear and sweet as an oriole’s. "Yes, people can be bribed, and things can be framed." A Fei nodded, "It would be too hasty to accuse others based on these two things alone."
"Look, what I want to say has already been said by the two of them." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "It can be seen that there are many bright-minded people in the world, and they will not be blocked by you."
“Li Xunhuan, if you don’t have any evil intentions, do you dare to let us search for it?” Long Xiaoyun asked loudly.
"If I don't allow the search, it would appear that I have a guilty conscience." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, it is not so easy to search for Li Yuan, who is a seventh-level scholar, and my father and son are three-level scholars. No one is allowed to trespass unless ordered by the imperial envoy. .”
“What if we just break in?” one person shouted.
Without saying a word, Xiang Nan took out a flying knife from his knife pouch and slowly trimmed his nails.
Seeing him unsheath the flying knife, everyone immediately took two steps back and fell into silence.
"Okay, I'll go and invite the imperial envoy right now." Long Xiaoyun couldn't help but turn pale when he saw this, and immediately said loudly, "Li Xunhuan, you don't have to pretend to be calm. Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are solid, you will definitely not be able to escape."
Xiang Nan ignored him and continued to trim his nails.
At this moment, although there was a huge crowd around him, and the people in the world were glaring at him angrily, wishing to eat him alive, it could not affect his state of mind at all.
He took a knife and trimmed his nails carefully, turning a blind eye to everything in the outside world, not hearing anything, and not paying attention at all.
Seeing him so calm, Sun Xiaohong and A Fei who were standing beside him also became silent.
Sun Xiaohong’s grandfather, Sun Baifa, also nodded secretly when he saw this, "Xiao Li Feidao is indeed worthy of his reputation."
It is not difficult to reach the state of "fast" and "ruthless" in martial arts. Many knights who are just starting out can reach this level, relying on their "quickness" and "ruthlessness" to quickly create a reputation.
But it is very difficult to achieve a “stable” state. To reach this state, we need to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, cultivate our moral character, and achieve a state where we are not alarmed by changes and can calm down no matter what situation we face.
Those who can reach this level are considered true masters. And there are not many such masters in the world.
…
After a while, a team of people arrived.
The gong opened the way in front, and the two signs of "Silence" and "Avoidance" were held high. Three squads of government officials came behind, guarding an eight-carrying green cloth sedan and two four-carrying blue cloth sedan.
Xiang Nan knew that this was the arrival of three officials: He Weigui, the imperial minister, Zhou Mu, the governor of Hexi Province, and Cui Cheng, the prefect of Taipu. They immediately lowered their rank to greet them.
“Li Xunhuan has met Master He, Master Zhou, and Master Cui. I am a bit disappointed in meeting him from afar. Please forgive me.” Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said.
He was a Jinshi, ranked third in two rankings, and had the privilege of "seeing officials without worshiping them". Moreover, Lao Li was the official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his disciples’ old friends spread all over the world.
Hence, even when facing the imperial envoy, Xiang Nan has confidence.
"You're welcome, Li Tanhua." He Weigui waved his hand, "We are here today because we received a report that you are a plum blossom thief. What's your excuse for this?"
“Three of you, sir, are very aware of everything and are very focused on solving the case. Naturally, you won’t listen to one-sided words.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “I am definitely not a plum blossom thief, and I have never committed adultery, robbery, murder or other things. Please be careful, sir.”
“Sir, Long Xiaoyun has enough evidence to correct Li Xunhuan.” Long Xiaoyun also hurriedly stepped forward and said.
