Chapter 64: Light Punishment In front of Laozi, Bian Jixiong didn't need to be so polite. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Dad, this is not a matter of how to say it. It's a matter of people's hearts and minds, and the meaning of the sect's existence. A disciple of the sect was killed, and the murderer was kept as a guest. There is no point in saying anything." The figure in white robes lingered inside without stopping, and the old voice said calmly: "They still have to admit whether they are right or wrong." "What does Dad mean?" Bian Jixiong was puzzled. The voice in white robe said: "It has been verified that the assassination was caused by Wei Bian. You can find the reason. In short, Wu Kangshan was wrong first. Although Shi Chun was protecting himself, his defense was excessive. No matter how wrong Wu Kangshan's disciples were, it is not right for outsiders to kill them. We should give him a light punishment and temporarily detain Wu Kangshan as hard labor." If he put it this way, Bian Jixiong thought that he could really explain it to everyone, but he still wondered, "Dad, is it necessary to go through so much trouble?" The figure in white robe suddenly stopped, and sighed through the veil, "I am Wu Kangshan, with the Dongsheng Royal Court at my back. I am not afraid of open swords and guns, and few people dare to come openly. I am afraid that it is difficult to prevent thieves from within. Eliminating the thieves from within is the top priority. While I am still alive and can still suppress them, it will be easier for you to clean them up." Bian Jixiong looked solemn after hearing these words. He nodded slowly and said, "I understand. However, Wei Bian is Hui Xin's direct disciple after all. If he dies and is left to bear the blame, Hui Xin will probably not agree. If she disagrees, things will be very troublesome." The figure in white robe waved his hand, "Women's opinions are extremely stupid. Dead people are worthless! Back then, I asked you to find a virtuous wife, but you didn't listen and insisted on finding a pretty one. A stupid woman is a disaster for three generations! It's not her turn to make the decision on this matter. If you can't even control a woman, then it's your problem!" As the words fell, the lights went out, the veil fluttered, and the figure behind him disappeared without a trace. After thinking silently for a while, Bian Jixiong turned around and walked out of the door. He walked around the corridor, came to a door, and knocked on the door of Yin Huixin's practice room.

After getting permission to enter, Bian Jixiong closed the door and walked over to Yin Huixin, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Seeing that she was sitting there quietly and was too lazy to even open her eyes, he immediately said to himself, "The plan of using Shichun to motivate Weikang cannot be changed. Shichun has to stay on the mountain." Yin Huixin didn't open her eyes, but snorted twice, "As long as you feel you can explain it to your superiors and subordinates, it's up to you. There's no need to tell me!" Bian Jixiong: "The assassination was planned by Wei Bian alone, and had nothing to do with Weiying. Wei Bian planned this assassination because he had been in love with Weiying for a long time. When he saw Weiying and Shi Chun hanging out together in broad daylight, he became jealous and decided to kill them, which led to the disaster in front of him." This reason and excuse made Yin Huixin open her eyes immediately and look at him in disbelief. "After the investigation, it was found that Wu Kangshan was at fault, and Shi Chun was also overprotective. Wu Kangshan's disciples should not be killed by outsiders. We will give him a light punishment and temporarily detain Wu Kangshan as hard labor!" Yin Huixin's face gradually turned pale with anger. She pointed at him and said in a trembling voice, "You are so shameless! Wei Bian is dead, but you still want to tarnish his innocence? Do you want him to die with regrets? I will never agree to this!" Bian Jixiong said calmly, "It's too obvious. Everyone can see that it was your daughter who ordered the murder of two Wukangshan disciples. How can you tell everyone what to do? How can you let me cover it up? Only if Wei Bian takes the blame can it be justified. Do you want to clear Wei Bian's name or give your daughter a fair and severe punishment? It's up to you!" Yin Huixin bit her lip and stared at him intently. Silence is the answer. Bian Jixiong turned and left. "You take your emotions too seriously. You don't know what you have to give. You always put your feelings first. This is the greatest selfishness. Take good care of your daughter. Don't always let others take the blame!" Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, who had been interrogated separately, were thrown into prison one after another. That’s right, Wukang Mountain also has its own private prison. The two men who met again in the cage were both covered with bruises, their clothes were torn, and there were whip marks all over their bodies. The two looked at each other and asked each other how injured they were. It turned out that they both looked like they had suffered severe injuries, but in fact, they only had superficial wounds. The two of them knew this very well. As for skin injuries, they were too used to them in the exile land, as could be seen from the scars all over Wu Jinliang's body. Shi Chun has no old scars on his body because his body has a strong ability to heal. He feels that this is related to the technique he practices, which is why he is unwilling to give up this technique easily. You can imagine what a man who can put pearl powder on his face is like. The two then asked each other about the interrogation, and their answers were similar. They were both asked about the assassination, and then they repeatedly asked how to break the immobilization talisman. They definitely could not tell the truth about the immobilization talisman, otherwise Wu Kangshan would silence them even if the sky fell. Naturally, the talisman was untied by an unknown external force. After confirming that there were no loopholes, Shi Chun heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the spot, saying, "Well, take a rest. Maybe we'll be outside when we wake up." Even though he was whipped, he was still quite relaxed. He lay down with his head in his hands, crossed his legs and hummed, convinced that the people from the evil sect would definitely come to rescue them.

Wu Jinliang also lay beside him and sighed, "I was whipped before I got out and went to the cell. After I got out, I was whipped again and went back to the cell. What a sin." The two of them lay down with their heads leaning against each other, forming an "eight" shape to stay up all night. Bian Weiying did not stay up all night on the mountain. Before leaving, she met her mother. Yin Huixin summoned her and told her the final result, so that she could go back without worry. "Even if this is the case, I would rather throw dirty water on Wei Bian than affect the plan of supporting my brother. Oh my God, how am I worse than Bian Weikang? Is it because he is a son and I am a daughter? Then why did you give me hope in the first place, hahahaha..." Bian Weiying was hysterical in front of his mother, crying and laughing, like a madman and drunk. She thought that after Shi Chun killed Wei Bian in public, he would never stay in Wukang Mountain to continue his father's ridiculous plan. However, she didn't expect that her father would favor her brother to such an extent and use such a ridiculous method to make things go back on his word. How embarrassed she was. Her face at this moment was full of despair. Finally, she staggered down the mountain, and when she returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she met Bian Weikang who was waiting for her and came to ask for an explanation. Bian Weiying had a fit on the spot, smashing anything she could get her hands on, like a real madman. This frightened Bian Weikang so much that he was stunned and speechless. It was the first time he saw his sister like this. The other people in the City Lord's Mansion were also frightened and hid themselves. After the things in the hall had been smashed repeatedly and nothing was left intact, Bian Weiyingcai, seemingly exhausted, sat down on the steps with disheveled hair, looking extremely decadent, hugging his knees and sobbing softly. Bian Weikang then carefully walked over to her and squatted down, trying to ask, "Weiying, what's wrong?" "Get out!" Bian Weiying suddenly pointed to the door and screamed hysterically. "..." Bian Weikang was speechless, and hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't even care about the purpose of his visit and left in shame. After returning to the inn and meeting Xiang Lan'er, he was naturally in a mess and didn't get any useful information. Xiang Lan'er was as gentle to him as always and advised him to go back to his room and rest early. It was not until dawn that a man wearing a cloak and a veil on his face appeared in Xiang Lan'er's room together with Feng Chi. Without waiting for them to finish their greetings, Xiang Lan'er took the initiative to ask, "When will the person be fished out?" The cloaked man and Feng Chi met each other, and the latter looked a little strange. The cloaked man said in a hoarse voice: "It's impossible to fish them out, and there's no need to fish them out anymore. Bian Jixiong plans to keep them both on the mountain and give them a light punishment..." He told them about the newly uncovered case and the decision made after the meeting between the top leaders of Wukang Mountain. Feng Chi smiled bitterly and said, "That is to say, there is no need to bother any more. The original plan can continue to be implemented. Those two guys don't need our help. They have already sneaked in." Xiang Lan'er hesitated, "If it wasn't Bian Weiying who ordered it, then why would she, as the lord of a city, be so active and come here in person to take charge?" Man in cloak: "It's just a trick to fool people so as to give an explanation to the superiors and subordinates. Outsiders can't see it, but I know what Bian Jixiong is planning. After all, I was the one who provided that plan to Bian Jixiong. He wanted to protect his daughter and not affect his plan to support his son. To be honest, I really didn't expect that he would do such a thing to help his useless son. He even quickly gathered evidence. He really put a lot of thought into it. On the other hand, it was right for us to start with his son. As long as Bian Weikang got the thing, the two people who were in the way could be eliminated. " Fengchi's girlfriend Lan'er said, "Miss, I think we're going to invite you and Bian Weikang to go up the mountain today." Xiang Lan'er nodded slightly... After daybreak, you can see through the air vents in the cage. They waited and waited, but there was no sign of anyone trying to rescue them. After so long, the two men began to feel a little uneasy. Unable to bear it any longer, Wu Jinliang could not help but whisper, "Chuntian, didn't you say that I might be outside after a nap?" This made Shi Chun wonder how to respond. He also felt it was strange. It shouldn't be like this. After the two of them were caught, the most panicked ones should be the evil people like Lan'er.

Just then, the sound of a cell door opening was heard from the other end of the corridor, followed by the sound of footsteps. Here they come. The two of them smiled at each other, then quickly sat down cross-legged, pretending that they knew nothing. (End of this chapter)
