Chapter 227 Era
July 5, late.

While a group of senior officials from Datong Prefecture and officials from the provincial capital investigation team were in a meeting, Li Fei returned to Wuhan University and went straight into the exotic animal breeding area.

Because it was late at night, they encountered many patrolling guards and checkpoints along the way, but Li Fei had a smooth journey with the token given to him by Shi Caiming.

Soon, he came to the foot of the hill where Shi Caiming lived again.

Looking up at the top of the mountain, Li Fei started climbing.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the large lawn he had been to before.

The night sky is very beautiful tonight. The bright moonlight shines on the lawn, and you can see clearly without electric lights.

Still near the edge of the cliff, Shi Caiming was sitting on a recliner drinking.

Li Fei was a little suspicious whether this principal had nothing to do every day and just smoked and drank?

"headmaster."

Li Fei walked over, came to Shi Caiming's side and bowed.

"Want a drink?"

Shi Caiming pointed at the wine jug on the table and said to Li Fei.

"No, Principal, I have something important to do."

Li Fei said seriously.

"Oh."

Shi Caiming shook his head with some regret, raised his glass to the moon above his head, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

"President, Wuhan University's top lecturer Chen Xiang colluded with Western spies and intended to murder me. Just now, Chen Xiang confessed that he was instructed by Wuhan University professor Xu Jing!"

Li Fei told the truth that he had forced out of Chen Xiang.

When Li Fei heard that the person behind the scenes was Xu Jing, he immediately thought of many things.

For example, it was Xu Jing who took him to "break into the mountain gate" in the beginning. Was this also the other party's plan?
Through the first fight with Gu Xianfeng, you can find out Gu Xianfeng's background and prepare for the second attack?
There was also the grudge between Xu Jing and Hao Yi in the past. Xu Jing was almost heartbroken by Hao Yi, and he broke through and became a martial arts master thirty years later than expected.

If it comes to revenge, Xu Jing does have this motive.

So this time it was a collaboration between Xu Jing and the provincial capital? Both sides got what they needed?

Li Fei couldn’t figure out what the final plan of both parties was for the time being, but he knew that Xu Jing’s ultimate goal must be Hao Yi!

So he came directly to Shi Caiming, hoping to resolve the issue of Xu Jing through this principal.

"Is there any evidence?"

Shi Caiming turned his head to look at Li Fei and asked casually.

"Chen Xiang can serve as a witness."

Li Fei said.

Before he came, he had already reached an agreement with Chen Xiang in the dungeon of the General Supervisory Office.

The other party now has no choice but to help Li Fei identify Xu Jing.

"Evidence alone is not enough."

Shi Caiming shook his head.

It is not an easy task to convict a professor at Wuda University, who is also a martial arts master.

Not to mention that the evidence is insufficient, even if the evidence is sufficient to prove that Xu Jing was in collusion with Western spies, he might not be sentenced.

This is different from what happened to Gu Xianfeng.

The investigation team endangered the entire officialdom of Datong Prefecture. In order to keep everyone's official hats, Bian Jingru made up his mind to take action against Tiefengmen.

"Shouldn't we at least take Professor Xu Jing away and investigate him for a while?"

Li Fei continued to try.

Shi Caiming looked at him and said, "Although I am the president of Wuda, I am not the only one who has the final say in Wuda. Professors at Wuda have at least a 'honorary title' equivalent to an official appointed by the imperial court. A martial arts master like Xu Jing can even enjoy the treatment of a seated official.

I have the right to handle internal affairs of Wuhan University, but outside the university, I have no power to order any lecturer to do things for me, let alone deal with a professor. "

Li Fei certainly understood this. In order to prevent the twelve universities from becoming "independent kingdoms", the court's support for the twelve universities was proportional to the restrictions it imposed.

Although Shi Caiming is the president of Wuhan University and has a large group of powerful people under his command, in theory he does not have the power to mobilize even the lowest-level lecturer to do private matters for him.

If a lecturer or professor at Wuhan University commits a crime, it can only be dealt with by the government.

So Li Fei took a two-pronged approach. He went to find Shi Caiming, while Xia Huan reported the matter to Qu Xun and Bian Jingru.

"But you are the president of Wuda University and a grandmaster. As long as you are willing, there must be a way."

Li Fei looked at Shi Caiming with anticipation.

In fact, he had no right to ask Shi Caiming to do anything. The only thing he could count on was Shi Caiming's appreciation of Hao Yi back then.

The other party helped save Hao Yi back then. Would they be willing to lend a helping hand again now?
Shi Caiming smiled and pointed to the wine jug on the table.

Li Fei immediately poured him another glass of wine.

Shi Caiming took a sip of wine and changed his position on the recliner:

"Didn't Hao Yi tell you about what happened back then?"

Li Fei was startled and shook his head: "The teacher didn't tell me."

"Back then, I sacrificed my reputation to save him, and I made a promise with those people: Hao Yi will never set foot in Datong City again in his life! If he breaks the contract, I will not be able to ask whether he lives or dies."

Shi Caiming looked at the moon above his head and said with deep eyes.

"."

Li Fei was silent.

Before, because there was always the grandmaster Shi Caiming standing in front of them, the people behind the scenes had never taken action against Hao Yi.

Now that Hao Yi has come to Datong City on his own initiative, Shi Caiming can no longer stand in his way.

If this was the case, Li Fei really couldn't ask the old man in front of him to do anything else.

The other party has done all they can and given all the support they can.

Wu Anwei, token and information.

He took a step back and bowed deeply to Shi Caiming:
"Thank you, Principal. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Li Fei turned and left.

Under the night sky, the old man continued to drink alone facing the moon.

The young man went down the mountain alone.

"how?"

After returning to the dormitory, Li Fei called Xia Huan to ask about the situation there.

"I have reported it to Chief Inspector Qu and the garrison commander, and they have agreed to investigate Xu Jing."

Xia Huan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

After working so hard for so long and deducing all kinds of truths, it's finally of some use.

"but."

Xia Huan's voice was a little hesitant.

"but what?"

Li Fei's heart sank and he had a bad feeling.

"But Zhang Zongyang's case has been closed"

Xia Huan informed Li Fei that Xiao Rui was captured tonight and then the Western spy was captured:

"The senior officials have held a meeting and decided to publicly execute all the culprits in the Zhang Zongyang case at noon tomorrow, and execute them by slow slicing."

The microphone in Li Fei's hand made a cracking sound, and a crack appeared on it, almost breaking.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down:
"Tomorrow. Can you take Xu Jing away tonight?"

Xia Huan said, "I can suggest this to Chief Inspector Qu and ask him to discuss it with the garrison commander."

Li Fei said in a deep voice: "Please ask Lord Xia to tell the Border Guard that as long as he can prevent Xu Jing from appearing at the execution ground tomorrow, I will owe him a favor!"

Considering his current status as the fastest person in history to break through the realm, this favor of his still carries a lot of weight.

"Okay, I'll definitely pass on the message!"

Xia Huan responded.

After hanging up the phone, Li Fei fell into deep thought in the room.

Things have come to this point, and he has done everything he can.

The rest is easy!

At a certain moment, Li Fei stood up and walked out of the room.

March 5, 23 am.

Datong District, Rongguang Square.

This is a square with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters. When the government has important events, they usually choose to hold them here.

Early this morning, people from the General Inspection Office cordoned off the entire square, and then began to set up the venue and build a platform.

It looked like something big was about to happen, so people gathered around to watch the fun.

At 10 a.m., two high platforms had been built in the center of Rongguang Square. One was a grandstand for officials to sit on.

The one in the center is the execution platform, which was used to torture criminals.

At this time, the gate of Zhige Headquarters was opened, and a convoy drove out.

This convoy was escorting prisoners who were to be executed today.

In the convoy, the head of Zhige Hospital, two helmsmen and a group of registered martial artists were all in the convoy.

In addition, several great magicians in the possession stage from the Zhengfa General Hospital and several priests in the Dao foundation stage from the Supervisory General Hospital were also in the convoy.

With such a lineup, even a martial arts master can compete with them!
In addition, in order to ensure that there would be no accidents during the execution, several professors and more than a dozen special lecturers from Wuhan University were also in the convoy.

This includes the martial arts master Xu Jing.

A number of senior officials from Datong Prefecture and all officials from the investigation team were also in the convoy.

When the convoy drove a few hundred meters out of the Zhige headquarters, it was suddenly stopped.

The car that blocked the road belonged to the General Supervisory Office.

The people in the front rows of both sides began to negotiate.

Soon, someone reported to the adults in the vehicle behind.

"what happened?"

In a dark golden 'Qilin' car, Yan Shijin frowned and asked.

The official who came to report bent over outside the car window and said:
"Master Yan, these are people from the General Supervisory Office. They want to take some people from our convoy away."

"Who are they going to take?"

"Take Professor Xu Jing from Wuhan University away."

"What did you say?"

Yan Shijin raised his voice.

Soon, all the officials from the investigation team got off the car, and the senior officials of Datong Prefecture also got off the car.

"Master Bian, what does this mean?"

Yan Shijin walked up to Bian Jingru and questioned him very rudely.

Bian Jingru looked calm and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yan. I'll ask first."

Then he called Qu Xun and asked, "What's going on with your General Supervisory Office? Why did you come to take people away at this time?!"

Qu Xun quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry, it happened suddenly and I just found out about it."

Bian Jingru: “What’s going on?”

Qu Xun: "We at the General Supervisory Office have just found an important clue about a Western spy, so we would like to ask Professor Xu Jing from Wuhan University to come back with us to assist in the investigation."

"Is it related to Western spies?"

Bian Jingru frowned, "How could a professor from Wuhan University be related to a Western spy?"

Qu Xun whispered, "Sir, have you forgotten that Wuda University had a special lecturer before?"

"Oh."

Bian Jingru showed a look of sudden enlightenment, then turned to look at Yan Shijin with an embarrassed look:
"Master Yan, you should have heard about what happened at Wuhan University. Today we are executing a Western spy. If Professor Xu Jing is really involved with the Western spy, do you think it would be inconvenient for him to continue to follow us to the scene?"

Yan Shijin looked coldly at Bian Jingru and Qu Xun "acting" in unison.

He had to admit that Bian Jingru played this move very well.

The purpose of inviting Xu Jing to the execution site was to ensure the safety of the scene.

But if Xu Jing himself is involved with Western spies, then inviting him would make the safety of everyone present unguaranteed.

Just when Yan Shijin was silent, a somewhat lazy voice came over:
"Why do I seem to hear someone trying to arrest me?"

Everyone turned around and saw Xu Jing, who was wearing white clothes today, walking towards them.

There was still a smile on his face.

"Professor Xu, we are not arresting you. We are just asking you to go back and assist in the investigation."

Qu Xun said politely to Xu Jing.

Facing a martial arts master who was also a notorious "murderer", Qu Xun was a little afraid.

"What if I say no?"

Xu Jing said with a smile.

Bian Jingru looked calm as he looked at Xu Jing:

"Professor Xu is going to openly defy law enforcement?"

"Law enforcement? You are not qualified to enforce the law on me."

Xu Jing spread out his hands.

Bian Jingru's eyes changed and his tone became stern:
"What do you mean?"

Xu Jing took out a document and a token from his arms:
"I am now an honorary minister of the Zhige Department of Feng Province. Datong Prefecture has no legal authority over me."

These words shocked everyone present.

Because it represents so many meanings!
Bian Jingru was the calmest. He stared at Xu Jing intently and said in a deep voice:

“But you are still a professor at Wuhan University.”

"Oh, this."

Xu Jing smiled relaxedly and said, "I have submitted my resignation notice today."

Wuhan University.

Li Fei found the Wu'an Guard team assigned to him, and then took the dark golden "Qilin" to leave Wuhan University and head to Rongguang Square.

As the three cars entered Datong District, someone blocked their way in the middle of the road.

The Wu Anwei in the car became nervous and put their hands on the hilt of the knife, ready to get out of the car at any time.

Li Fei also seemed a little nervous today.

He touched his chest and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is it?"

"The man in the robes looks like a monk."

Wu Anwei, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, said.

"Monk?"

Li Fei was startled.

"Amitabha."

At this moment, the monk who was blocking the road ahead put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name.

His voice came clearly through the window of the Qilin car and into the car:

"I am Yunshen from Baoyun Temple. I have been asked by someone to ask Mr. Li Fei to stop and not go any further today."

"It's Master Yunshen from Baoyun Temple!"

Wu Anwei in the car looked surprised.

"Master Yunshen?"

Li Fei in the car looked puzzled, as if he had heard this name for the first time.

"Can you get through?"

he asked.

Wu Anwei in the car turned and looked at him:
"I'm sorry, the order we received was only to protect your safety. If the other party does not take the initiative to attack you, we will not take the initiative to attack anyone."

"This"

Li Fei gritted his teeth, his eyes anxious.

On the other side, Yun Shen stood in the middle of the street, his eyes deep and a trace of sadness on his face.

Naturally, he was entrusted by Hao Yi to come and stop Li Fei.

Hao Yi said to him that night: "My students can't be like me back then!"

So I asked my good friend to do me one last favor.

Yun Shen looked up at the sky above his head.

The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining.

"You always said that this era might become my era."

"But in fact, my era has never come. Even if it really did come, it only stopped in Datong Prefecture and ended in that year."

This is what Hao Yi said to Yun Shen before leaving this morning.

"I'm going to put an end to the era that was broken back then."

Hao Yi said this at last, then turned and walked out of Baoyun Temple.

It was almost noon and the sun was at its brightest.
