Chapter 1016: Wait for my return (Part 1)


    His aged face trembled slightly as he endured the pain and quietly weed death.


    It was just a squeaking sound that fell into his ears unexpectedly.


    He barely opened his eyes and looked over. A familiar blurry figure entered his sight.


    As the elders bowed, he silently sat down by the bed and lifted the nket.


    Li Zicheng’s entire body was covered in ring torture scars.


    There were red-hot iron imprints, pus scars, bloody holes in the shoulder armor, and shocking traces of whipping …


    One by one, they tortured Li Zicheng’s old body until there was no intact skin.


    He was already old and had experienced many torments, which had seriously damaged his life force.


    Now, he was already amp without oil.


    “Who did this?” The person who came was naturally Xia qingchen. He gently covered himself with the nket and lowered his head. Other than Li Zicheng, no one else could see his calm expression clearly.


    The elders were silent and found it difficult to speak.


    Li Zicheng said in a hoarse voice,”I …” It made … I’m fine, I’m fine …”


    He was about to lose his life, and he was still fine?


    Xia qingchen turned his head and looked at the elders. “I’ll ask you onest time, who did this?”


    He didn’t threaten anyone, but everyone could hear the suppressed storm in his words.


    The few elders looked at Li Zicheng. In the end, they couldn’t bear to see Li Zicheng being destroyed for no reason and said, “”It’s Gong yangqing, the Vice Pce master of the six fan Pce!”


    They exined everything in detail.


    The six fan Pce?


    Xia qingchen remembered that when xuanji asked the Dao, the six fan Pce had to rely on him to obtain a few more Luo God’s pearls.


    He didn’t expect the other party to repay him, but there was no need to hit him when he was down, right?


    As soon as he died, he couldn’t wait to torture his people and help the Yu family take his spirit Pce.


    In the silence, Xia qingchen took out three bottles of top-grade secret healing medicine. Some were for external injuries, while others were for internal injuries.


    However, Li Zicheng’s injuries were so severe. Xia qingchen only dared to guarantee that he would be able to treat his injuries. As for whether Li Zicheng would be able to survive or not, he had no way to be sure.


    “Medicine, give it to him.” Xia qingchen put on a bamboo hat and silently walked out of the ward.


    “Sir, where are you going?” the elders asked.


    Xia qingchen stared at the dark sky and slowly said, “”I’ll be back after I kill a person. You guys take good care of him.”


    After he finished speaking, he stepped out of the door.


    A gust of cold night wind blew, lifting his ck hair and gently fluttering it …


    Six fan Pce.


    Even though it waste at night, a lone fire was flickering in a study room in the six fan Pce.


    Pce master six fans was trying the most recent cases, and one of them made him frown.


    It was the case of Jian Jiu, a former member of Princess yanyu’s Hall of extraordinary people, being killed.


    Until now, they still didn’t know who the murderer was.


    Some people suspected that it was Xia qingchen because during the immortal demon chess game, Xia qingchen and sword nine had an intense conflict. He was the most suspicious.


    However, all the evidence showed that Xia qingchen didn’t have any time or evidence tomit the crime.


    The case had been dyed for two months and had not been closed yet, and the Prince of Liang was somewhat dissatisfied with this.


    Ninth sword’s master was the famous madman sword. Thetter had requested an audience with the Prince of Liang and pleaded for him to make a decision. As a result, the Prince of Liang had paid special attention to this case.


    As the pce master of the six fan Pce, he was under a lot of pressure.


    Dong Dong-


    While he was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.


    “Come in.” At this moment, the only person who could still find him was Gong yangqing, the Deputy Pce master, who was also a conscientious fellow.


    The door opened, and an old man with a goatee, a thin face, and a pale green skin opened the door and entered.


    “Vice Pce Lord, is there something you need me for?” The pce master casually asked in a not very polite tone.


    Although both of them were the highest-level missions of the six fan Pce, they had different ideas about the case.


    Six fan Pce master preferred evidence. He would rather let the suspicious person go than use the person.


    However, the Deputy Pce Lord was keen on currying favor with his superiors. As long as the superiors requested for an investigation, the case must be closed. Even if the suspect might have been wronged, they would try their best to convict him.


    The two of them had quarreled many times over this over the years.


    Gong yangqing sat opposite the pce master and said, “”I’ve strengthened the defense of the purgatory heart as you’ve ordered.”


    Recently, the six fan Pce had noticed some signs that the Dark Moon seemed to be nning to break into the purgatory heart prison controlled by the six fan Pce to rescue some people. Therefore, Gong yangqing was in charge of strengthening the defense.


    “Yes, there’s nothing wrong with being careful.” The pce master nodded.


    “But if the defense is strengthened, it means that we will have fewer people to handle the case,” Gong yangqing continued.


    There were only so many constables in the six fan Pce. If they sent a portion of them to guard the purgatory, it would mean that there would be fewer people handling the case.


    After a pause, gongyang Qing continued,”or perhaps we can close a case with conclusive evidence as soon as possible. This can reduce the pressure on everyone.”


    “For example?” the pce master’s eyes shed.


    “For example, the murder of sword nine! Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you can be convicted.” Gongyang Qing said.


    This was his real purpose foring.


    “Irrefutable evidence? what evidence?” the pce master asked. Let me see.”


    Gong yangqing spoke with a serious expression. ording to our investigations, the only person sword nine had a grudge with in the past year was Xia qingchen. Only he could possibly kill him. Therefore, we can specte that …


    “I want evidence, not spection!” The pce master interrupted rudely.


    but, the truth should be like this …


    The pce master mmed the table and interrupted him. He shouted sternly, “”What decides a person’s fate is not our spection, but the evidence!”


    “The official duty of us constables is to punish the evil, not to wrongly use the innocent!”


    Gongyang Qing’s already pale face turned even more unsightly.


    “But this is a case that Prince Liang is concerned about,” he said in a low voice.


    “So what?” The Prince of Liang is concerned, so the case should be judged by thew!”


    Gong yangqing was furious. No wonder the six fan Pce wasn’t favored by the king of Liang. With such a stubborn Pce master, how could the six fan Pce win the king of Liang’s favor?


    Pausing for a moment, the pce master’s tone became gentler,”I heard that you’ve been hearing about a case of theft involving the spirit Pce?”


    Not all cases were under the pce manager’s jurisdiction.


    The Vice Pce Lord also had a part of the power to manage the case.


    “Yes, it’s the case of the Ling Pce’s Pce master stealing the Yu family’s materials.” Gongyang Qing said, feeling a little guilty.


    “You’re handling the case ording to thew, right?” the pce master said meaningfully.


    He had only heard yesterday that a criminal had been sent away from the six fan Pce’s dungeon. After investigating, he found out that the person was the spirit Pce’s Pce master.


    And everyone in the world knew who the spirit Pce belonged to.


    “Of course it is!” “Am I, Gong yangqing, a person who has broken thew?” gongyang Qing asked without changing his expression.


    The pce master did not ask any more questions.


    It was just an ordinary crime of theft, so Gong yangqing wouldn’t use private punishment.


    en, I’ll exin it to Xia qingchenter. Our six fan Pce is handling the case ording to thew and has no intention of targeting him. The pce master casually ordered.


    He didn’t want this to affect the rtionship between Xia qingchen and the six fan Pce.


    No matter what, Xia qingchen had done the six fan Pce a favor. He was also his disciple, Jiang xuexin’s husband.


    However, based on his investigation of Xia qingchen, his character and heart weren’t ordinary. As long as he made things clear, there shouldn’t be any problems.


    “I’m not going!” Gong yangqing replied without hesitation,”since when does our six fan Pce have to exin to others nicely when handling cases?” This will damage the prestige of our six fan Pce.”
