I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

As the voice sounded, a crowd of people swarmed in like a wave, and in an instant, they surrounded Tang Xun tightly in the center.

They rushed to tell each other what happened last night. Various voices intertwined together, boiling like boiling water, making Tang Xun feel overwhelmed.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Tang Xun could no longer tolerate such noise and became furious.

A majestic rebuke sounded like thunder, resounding throughout the venue.

He released the overwhelming pressure of the Innate Realm, like a storm sweeping across the room, causing the originally noisy and chaotic crowd to fall into deathly silence in an instant.

"What a mess! Explain them one by one!"

Tang Xun shouted sternly and strode into the solemn court.

The cloak draped over his body waved gracefully with his steps, and then he sat steadily on the chair that originally belonged to the county magistrate for hearing cases.

"You speak first!"

Tang Xun pointed at someone at random and motioned him to speak first.

When the person who was named heard the voice, an expression of mixed grief and anger appeared on his face.

He immediately took a few steps forward, threw himself on the cold bluestone floor, kowtowed heavily, and burst into tears.

"Sir, you have to make the decision for us!"

Then he told the story of Shen Zhi killing Liu Daoyuan and others last night.

However, in his statement, the facts were exaggerated, portraying himself and his group as innocent victims of the tragedy.

As for the truth about what happened in Yue Mansion, he kept silent about it.

The rest of the people added fuel to the fire and used exaggerated words to portray Shen Zhi as a heartless and brutal person.

Tang Xun also frowned after listening to this.

"I never thought that there would be such a vicious and evil person in Yong'an City."

The feeling of grief among the crowd grew stronger.

Especially Liu Daoyuan's mother, her crying was heartbreaking, her emotions were on the verge of collapse, and she seemed particularly excited.

"My Lord, my son Daoyuan has always been kind and honest. Apart from being absorbed in poetry, calligraphy and painting, he never makes enemies with others.

I really don't know how he offended that vicious person. I beg you to uphold justice and seek justice for my innocent son! "

After crying for a while, the woman's eyes dimmed instantly.

The whole person swayed like a candle in the wind, and then his eyes closed and he fell backward weakly.

Even though everyone around knew what kind of person Liu Daoyuan was.

But at this moment they are all in the same boat, so naturally they have to put on a face of sympathy and deep sorrow.

After hearing this, Tang Xun was so indignant that he immediately made a promise in a loud voice.

"Everyone, please rest assured. I will personally supervise the arrest and bring this extremely evil criminal to justice!"

"Summon Li Xuan to come immediately and make sure to capture the criminal who committed the crime and bring him to me!"

As soon as Tang Xun gave the order, a demon-catching captain came forward and whispered in his ear.

"You forgot, sir, that Deputy Director Li was seriously injured and is currently recuperating in the Lingyun Boat."

Tang Xun frowned when he heard this and cursed under his breath.

"Useless trash!"

When leaving Lingyun Mountains, they encountered a big monster blocking the way. Although everyone rushed out with the power of Lingyun Boat, Li Xuan also suffered considerable injuries.

After a little thought, Tang Xun spoke sternly to his subordinates.

"Quickly select a few capable men and strike out immediately to capture the villain in one fell swoop!"

Although the demon-catching captains were unhappy, due to the authority of Chief Tang Xun, they had to select a few people to search for Shen Zhi.

...

...

Inside the inn.

Tang Ling was alone, quietly playing with a seemingly ordinary object.

This item may not seem special to outsiders, but to her, it is extremely precious and she always carries it with her.

Just because this thing was given to her by Shen Zhi.

Tang Ling stroked it carefully, with a focused look as if she was protecting a rare treasure.

"Azhi..."

When she thought of Shen Zhi, Tang Ling couldn't help but have red eyes.

Ever since Shen Zhi disappeared in Yue Mansion, Tang Ling has secretly gone out to look for him more than once.

But Jiu stopped him every time.

No matter how angry she got, Jiu remained indifferent.

As time went by, Tang Ling gradually gave up and had to bury her longing in her heart.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a noise in her ears.

She thought it was Ah Jiu who brought back the food, so she responded without even turning her head: "I told you I'm not hungry, don't bother me!"

However, in the next moment, she froze in place and stopped talking.

"This is Yunjinxuan's famous fairy fruit cake. I remember you like it the most. Don't you really want to try it?"

The voice was like a spring breeze blowing past her ears, making Tang Ling's heart tighten.

When she turned around and saw the face that she had been dreaming about, she could no longer hold back her tears and they instantly filled her eyes.

"Azhi!"

Tang Ling blurted out the name she had been thinking about day and night.

Before she finished her words, she threw herself into Shen Zhi's arms regardless of everything.

Tears, accompanied by a mixture of surprise, sadness and joy, rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

Shen Zhi gently stroked Tang Ling's back, and his gentle words soothed her emotions like a warm breeze.

After a long time, Tang Ling slowly stopped crying, but she still couldn't help sobbing.

At this moment, she completely ignored her favorite fairy fruit cake and only wanted to understand what Shen Zhi had experienced.

"Azhi, what on earth happened to you?"

Faced with Tang Ling's urgent questioning, Shen Zhi fell into a brief silence.

He was now struggling internally over whether he should tell her the whole story of what happened after Yan Xiu rescued him.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhicai spoke slowly.

It's just that three parts of his words were false and seven parts were true, and he didn't tell the whole truth.

After all, Tang Ling is still young and inexperienced, and too complicated grudges in the martial arts world will only bring her troubles.

After hearing this, Tang Ling's face was filled with shock.

These plots that only existed in rumors and novels were now happening to Shen Zhi, which made her feel extremely shocked.

In the room, the two of them expressed their longing for each other since they separated.

Tang Ling's face did not show any surprise until Shen Zhi confessed that he had eliminated all those who had humiliated him in Yue Mansion.

It was as if she had expected all this.

"Now that I have killed my enemy, I have finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish."

Shen Zhi said with a sense of relief.

Hearing this, Tang Ling suddenly raised her head and stared at Shen Zhi with sharp eyes.

"Azhi, I'm going back to the capital."

Shen Zhi fell silent instantly after hearing this.

Although he knew that Tang Ling had an extraordinary background, he had never imagined that she was from the capital.

All sorts of complicated emotions suddenly surged in Shen Zhi's heart, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Azhi, take me with you!"

Tang Ling's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing Shen Zhi's heart to tremble violently.

But before he could give an answer, he was interrupted by a voice full of murderous intent.

"If you dare to kidnap my young lady, I will kill you!"

Ajiu suddenly pushed open the door, looked at Shen Zhi with a gloomy face, and shouted harshly.

At the same time, a group of demon-catching officers filed in and surrounded the two men.

"I am here on the orders of the Director General to capture the murderer Shen Zhi!"
