Chapter 977 The Cris List
Seeing that the young man in front of her was so determined, Lin ngya showed a trace of appreciation in her eyes.
After looking around coldly, Lin ngya saw the arrogance and complacency of the people from the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, as well as the pity of the people from the Branch Hall in Yun State.
What disappointed her even more were the mbers of the Branch Halls, who were still hesitating, or who had remained indifferent since the beginning.
She knew that there were so problems in Sanjue Hall. Moreover, these people had no experience in cooperating to coordinate and fight together before, so it was a big problem to gain the trust of each other.
She had thought that after they went through it together in the future, they might develop a tacit understanding and trust in each other.
But nowadays, each Branch Hall was in charge of its affairs, which was the biggest headache for Lin ngya.
“I’ve assigned Guo Tiantong to handle this matter. Rest assured, he won’t bend the law for the sake of personal gain. But before that, I have to deal with one thing. Guards, go and call Shi Bupo, Mr. Shi, here.”
Shi Bupo’s na was much more well-known than that of Ren Nanbei. When Shi Bupo first joined Sanjue Hall, he challenged the Childe of Wisdom back then and succeeded in taking the position.
Later, Shi Bupo behaved himself for a period of ti. But according to his character, he could not stay in Sanjue Hall peacefully every day. In order to pester Qinghu to teach him the martial arts of killing, Shi Bupo gave the position back to the forr Childe of Wisdom.
The forr Childe of Wisdom had regarded Shi Bupo as his lifelong idol, ever since he was defeated by Shi Bupo.
Lin ngya was puzzled about why these smart people were sowhat weird.
Every ti the Childe of Sanjue changed, it needed to be announced to notify every Branch Hall.
Moreover, with his eccentric character, Shi Bupo’s na was well-known to everyone in Sanjue Hall.
As soon as Lin ngya finished speaking, a young man in an indigo gown ca in from outside.
The man’s fair and tender face appeared a hint of mockery with a faint smile.
His eyes rolled up slightly as if no one in the world could catch his eye.
With his hands clasped behind his back, the young man slowly walked up to Lin ngya and knelt heavily at her feet.
“Hall Master, I, Shi Bupo, pay my respects to you, the wise, powerful, intelligent, and peerless beautiful Master of the Sanjue Hall headquarters.”
After that, he kowtowed heavily.
Lin ngya pressed the center between her eyebrows, which was slightly twitching. She wondered, “Damn, how could he ruin a solemn occasion like this?”
“Please get up, Mr. Shi. You don’t have to be so courteous.”
Lin ngya forced herself to put on a serious look, not wanting to make the occasion more ridiculous.
A hint of threat obviously appeared in Lin ngya’s eyes. As long as Shi Bupo made a fool of himself again, she would teach him a big lesson.
Shi Bupo was so quick-witted that he naturally understood Lin ngya’s intention.
So Shi Bupo got up in an extrely humble manner and then stood in front of Lin ngya like a well-behaved follower of hers. It looked like he was not the arrogant guy a mont ago.
“Mr. Shi, you said that you had sothing important to report yesterday, didn’t you? I’d like to hear what you’re going to say.”
Lin ngya managed to get down to the business and said with a serious look.
Shi Bupo didn’t dare to joke anymore. He imdiately took out a small notebook with a gray cover from his pocket.
“Hall Master, as per your command, I secretly investigated the situation of various Branch Halls. In regards to the Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, Ren Nanbei, on July 3rd, he indulged his subordinate Li Ping to cripple an innocent civilian on the street. On July 25th, he conspired with the accountant, Yu Sanqiao, to embezzle 750 taels of silver that was supposed to be handed over to the headquarters, and hid the tales in a ditation room of Liangshan Temple in Qing Prefecture. In August…”
Next, he pointed out a cri in detail committed by Ren Nanbei almost in every sentence, including the specific ti, the specific place where he hid the things, and the person who handled it.
The more Ren Nanbei heard, the more frightened he beca, because all of these were true.
Ren Nanbei’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. He did not expect that his perfect plan would be exposed in public.
Lin ngya just cast an indifferent glance at Ren Nanbei and motioned for Shi Bupo to continue reading.
“In regards to the Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Jing Prefecture, Jin Rubing, he forced the female civilians to be with him, and mutilated the mbers…”
It was another uncountable number of cris. Even Jin Rubing, who was shrewd and experienced, felt a chill in his heart.
Just like Ren Nanbei, Jin Rubing thought that he had done so things in an extrely secretive manner so that no one else would have known about it except himself in his lifeti.
They had never expected that all their secrets had beco a deadly threat in Lin ngya’s eyes.
No one knew how many secrets were recorded in the small notebook by Shi Bupo.
Shi Bupo read one page after another, and as he flipped through each page, the truths that were concealed in the darkness would gradually be revealed.
“This morning, Wang Dazhuang, a mber of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, deliberately provoked and badly injured Luan Ge, a mber of the Branch Hall in Yun State. Baisu stopped Wang Dazhuang and cut off his left foot. The Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, Ren Nanbei, insulted the Sanjue Hall first and then suspected the Enforcent Team. Hall Master, please make your decision.”
Finally, Shi Bupo finished reading what recorded in his small notebook. After breathing a sigh of relief, he stood respectfully behind Lin ngya.
“All of you, have you heard him clearly?”
The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded.
Among the crowd of people from the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture and Jing Prefecture, those who knew these things all revealed shocked expressions.
However, those who didn’t know the truth looked embarrassed.
Not all of them were evildoers. Instead, apart from a small number of their trusted subordinates, most of the mbers who were brought here this ti were newcors. Just in case, they had not chosen any side to stand on yet.
Instantly, the situation beca clear. Even though the isolated were few, it was clear enough for everyone to tell.
“Hall Master, well… This is…”
Ren Nanbei, who had always been eloquent, had no ti to wipe away the cold sweat on his face. When he was about to refute, he t Lin ngya’s eyes, and his heart skipped a beat in fright.
It was the gaze one would have when looking at the dead.
Once upon a ti, when Ren Nanbei looked at those people whose status and abilities were far inferior to his, he was ruthless and cold like this, too.
It was because he could decide the life and death of those people at will, and he even felt that he could be comparable to the Yama of Hell.
Today, however, it was finally his turn to experience such a fright.
“Mr. Ren, do you want to say that I have no evidence and how to be sure that you did all these cris? No hurry. Xu Shan, bring all the stuff here.”
...
Xu Shan imdiately walked to the front of everyone with a heavy wooden box on his shoulder.
The wooden box was put heavily to the ground, stirring up a wave of dust.
After that, Xu Shan opened the box with his large hand. Ren Nanbei just took a look at it, and his face instantly turned pale.
“Mr. Ren, I’m sure you are very familiar with this stuff. I guess that you are also curious about why your account book ca into my hands. You personally wrote this account book and sealed it in wax. To prevent it from being stolen, you made the code in person and hid it in your a-dozen-year secret lover’s place. Oh, is it an imitated one? No, that’s close to impossible. To prevent others from imitating it, you especially used five various writing thods, which echo the code you made. Therefore, apart from yourself, no one else in this world can imitate this account book. Should I praise you for your thorough consideration, or for your multi-talented skills?”
Lin ngya’s tone was soft. It looked like she was joking, but her undisguised killing intent had scared Ren Nanbei so much that his legs went limp.
Ren Nanbei snorted coldly, “Hall Master, since you say so, I won’t consider our friendship anymore! That money is what the mbers of our Branch Hall deserve to have. Why should I give them to the headquarters for nothing?”
“How dare he continue pestering up to this mont?”
Lin ngya snorted coldly and cast a glance at Ren Nanbei.
“Is that so? But why did I hear that a whole wall of your outer courtyard was built by spending the money of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture? You deducted the money from your subordinate, which almost resulted in his old mother dying of hunger. Why didn’t you, the Deputy Hall Master, co out to help her at that ti?”
Seeing that Lin ngya had exposed his last trace of concealnt, Ren Nanbei gritted his teeth with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
Ren Nanbei said to himself, “If you made things difficult for , then no one would have an easy ti!”
...
Ren Nanbei was evil and bold. After secretly gathering his inner energy and aiming at Lin ngya’s position, his feet suddenly hit the ground, and his body rushed toward Lin ngya at lightning speed.
When Ren Nanbei was taking action, Jin Rubing and another Deputy Hall Master who had caused trouble with them also joined the battle.
Lin ngya was the only target they aid for. As long as they had Lin ngya under their control, they would have a chance to escape.
They did not care about the foundations they had made. Where there was life, there was hope.
With their status and abilities in the underworld, they could start over in another place and avoid being bullied by Lin ngya.
It happened too suddenly, and it was too late for everyone to rescue Lin ngya.
However, to their surprise, Lin ngya, the woman who should have been in a panic, curved her lips into a ruthless smile.
Ren Nanbei and the other two realized sothing was wrong. Just then, the true qi in their bodies was completely dispersed in an instant.
A sharp pain shook their hearts and lungs from the deepest part of their bodies.
With a “plop”, the three of them fell to the ground at the sa ti.
anwhile, each of them spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood in dark red.
“What makes you so bold to get close to our Hall Master? You must be tired of living!”
Shi Bupo, who was by Lin ngya’s side, looked at the three guys, who were anxious to court death, and sneered.
Lin ngya did not turn around until then. She looked down at the three half-dead guys.
“Do you know why I have never taken you seriously?”
She would not treat them as her enemies since they even could not decide whether to live or die by themselves.
Ren Nanbei tried hard to raise his head. Finally, he could clearly see what a vicious and rciless spirit was hidden inside the beautiful lady.
It turned out that they were under her control firmly from the very beginning. There was no way for them to escape.
Unfortunately, they knew nothing about it.
