Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 275: How to clear an innocent person?

In a private room at Kelan Residence, Mu Huayan and her companions were awakened early by the scolding and defense. Mu Qing leaned on Mu Huayan's right shoulder and said weakly: "Senior Sister, their ability to gossip really impresses me!"

"Does the person behind the scenes really want to kill us? Why does Eunuch Qushi keep biting us? If you have the guts, let him come out and fight one-on-one. What's the point of doing some small tricks behind people's back?" Mu Qing continued while rubbing his temple.

"Senior Sister, why don't we return to the sect to cultivate our character? This world is too chaotic and dangerous."

Mu Huayan did not say anything but gently stroked her little head. The little fox had been following Grandpa Qushi these days, and it had found out a lot of information.

But unfortunately, Eunuch Qu Shi had not done anything immoral or sent anyone to kill the servants and guards of Marquis An's mansion in the past few days, so this surprised Mu Huayan and the others.

It said that Eunuch Qu Shi wrote a letter to a cultivator, but it did not know the content of the letter because there was a formation barrier in Xiaoyao Mansion.

It also said that the aura of Grandpa Qushi was very strange, and it always felt that there was something fishy about him, but it couldn't see it.

It stretched out its paws to ask for the fairy fruit. Mu Huayan stared at it for a long time and felt that this fox was too stupid. It didn't even find out any useful information.

Maybe the enemy was really hiding too deeply. It was better than having no news at all, so I gave it a few fairy fruits as a reward.

Mu Huayan wanted to take them away with clean hands, but at this time, a fight was heard downstairs. When they looked out the window,

It was discovered that the two groups were fighting each other. The person who secretly planned the plot was really cruel and ruthless. He even used innocent people to fan the flames.

Tang Xuanze knocked on the door and said, "Miss Mu, Miss Qing'er, you..."

Mu Qing waved his hand and the door opened. He nodded good morning and pointed downstairs. "Mr. Tang suggests that we should not show up and leave quietly."

Maybe they could leave at first, but now they can't, and the captain of the guards has surrounded the entire attic with his men, and now the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs can be heard.

"He's really cruel and ruthless to drag a group of innocent people into the game." Mu Huayan smiled sarcastically.

Mu Huayan shook her sleeves and walked out of the room calmly. They hurriedly followed and happened to meet the chief guard at the corner of the stairs.

The captain of the guards immediately made an attacking motion, and the other soldiers followed suit. "You have committed many murders, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Mu Huayan snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Killing? Who did I kill?"

This question made the guard captain feel a little guilty, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble slightly.

"Step aside."

But they did not make any move, and even attacked her, but the swords and knives hit her without any damage;

Just now they were so scared that they could only make way.

A person of integrity has nothing to fear from his own shadow. However, when they walked out of the gate of their residence, they were blocked by the people. Some people asked them to clarify that they were innocent and did not kill anyone in Anhou Mansion.

Others asked them to confess their crimes and said they wanted to give justice to the people in Anhou Mansion.

Mu Huayan and the others were really hurt by the various verbal attacks and condemnations from the public. Although there were still many people who supported them and spoke for them, the effect was not great...

Mu Huayan let out a long sigh and exhaled, "How can an innocent person clear his name?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Rumors can be spread with a mouth, and the mouth is on their body, but the clear ones are clear and the turbid ones are turbid.

The people in Anhou Mansion have helped the people of Huayu County a lot and gained a lot of benefits for them. In the hearts of the people, they are rare good officials.

So the people quickly surrounded them again, their eyes full of hatred towards them, some even threatened to bring them to justice today no matter what.

There were a few people secretly watching what was happening here, with smiles growing thicker on their faces and eyes full of hatred and ridicule.

Mu Qing noticed the strange gazes in the dark and wanted to step forward to catch them, but Mu Huayan grabbed his wrist. Tang Xuanze couldn't bear to see it and jumped up to a high place.

"Please calm down and listen to me. If you think what I said makes sense, please be open-minded and give them enough time to prove their innocence."

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and they began to criticize him. Some people even threw various leftovers and eggs at him. "Who are you? You are speaking for them like this. I think you are in the same group with them."

"You look like a monk who kills without blinking an eye. Get off..."

"Get down, what qualifications do you have to speak for them?"

"..." All the malice was directed at him in an instant, and the saliva drowned him like a flood, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, his tone full of authority, "Everyone be quiet!!"

All of a sudden, no one dared to say anything and fell silent. Some people looked like they were watching a show, while others looked impatient.

The few people in the crowd showed approval in their eyes, hoping that he could exonerate Mu Huayan and others.

"If these three are the villains in your eyes, then I want to ask why you can still stand here and condemn her without any harm!!"

This simple sentence was extremely convincing. Everyone present fell silent. Seeing that some people were still trying to refute him, he continued to argue, "Besides, if they wanted to kill An Hou Mansion, why would they have to wait until today? With their strength, they could have killed them right from the start."

"What guarantee do you have? How are they going to prove their innocence?" one of the monks started to make a fuss.

"That's right... maybe they had a conflict with Anhou Mansion and that's why they killed him just now?"

"Your few words don't mean anything at all."

"......"

He had no choice but to take out a jade pendant and throw it into the air. "I will use the jade token of my Tiannan Marquis Mansion as a guarantee. If they are really murderers, then I, Tang Xuanze, will share the same crime with them and am willing to accept the punishment!"

When the jade pendant came out, no one discussed the guilt of Mu Huayan and the others anymore. Instead, they stared at the jade pendant and him in the sky. After all, the words of the government officials were still effective.

"Well, since your Tiannan Marquisate has come out to guarantee it, we the people will naturally give you this face."

There was a lot of discussion at the moment, "......"

So the people dispersed and stopped bothering Mu Huayan and the others. Tang Xuanze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Mu Huayan didn't want to care about so much, because after all, he was a cultivator and there were still many ways to solve the problem.

But since someone has already settled the matter for them, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to do things in this county in the future?

"I didn't expect that although you are a son of an official, you have such a strong sense of justice." Mu Huayan praised.

He smiled but said nothing. Mu Huayan continued, "But aren't you afraid of getting killed if you reveal your identity?"

He put away the jade pendant and was about to jump off the ground when suddenly a sharp arrow struck his back like lightning.

"careful!"

He suddenly turned sideways but the arrow was only an inch away from him. He made a simple defense but was still hit in the shoulder.

Then three sharp arrows came towards him. Mu Huayan knocked away two of them and grabbed one of them and threw it in a certain direction.

"Take care of him, I'm going to chase him!"

Mu Huayan caught up with the person in a short while. Her magic hit the back of the person who shot the arrow, but he still jumped into space and escaped.

But he was seriously injured and would not be able to come out and hurt anyone in the short term.

Xin Ce was detoxifying Tang Xuanze. The tip of the arrow was coated with a strong poison, causing his entire body to turn blue and white.

A quarter of an hour later, the poison had been cured. Xin Ce opened the door and said that he was fine.

He rubbed his shoulder which was bandaged with white cloth and said, "That man is too cruel. He actually wanted to take my life!"

When Mu Qing came in and saw his great figure, her cheeks turned red. She thought to herself that his figure was too good, and the key was that his skin was also white. She had been obsessed with him for a while.

He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he reached out to grab the clothes beside him. Mu Huayan leaned against the door frame and reminded him: "You have already given your name and identity, I advise you to go home quickly."

"Anyone who goes against the Blood Demon Sect will suffer a miserable end."

"It's not so easy to break into my Tiannan Marquis Mansion. The cultivation of the housekeepers in the mansion is all in the Extreme Wilderness Realm. What's more, my family is in the imperial capital. They are too confident to want to cause chaos and kill people."

He carefully walked around Mu Qing and said, "I am more interested in your identities now."

"This is not important. We can't stay here for long. We must leave immediately." After saying this, Mu Huayan stepped forward and pulled Mu Qing away.
