Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Right now, the Law Enforcement Palace is under construction, and when Gu Jiang and the others passed by, the workers were constructing it in full swing.However, among those workers, there were only a small number of Xicheng disciples, and most of them were unfamiliar faces.

Jiang Suxing stopped in his tracks and asked suspiciously, "Why are they all unfamiliar faces? Where did these people come from?"

Gu Baitang took a look and said: "There are only a few people who are in charge of the construction of the courtyard in Xicheng, and they usually major in ancient cultural relics. This time, the Law Enforcement Palace has suffered a huge loss, which is almost equivalent to rebuilding a palace. We can only hire people from outside. These people They were all invited from the neighboring Northern Kingdom, and they have been cooperating with Xicheng all the year round, so they are trustworthy people."

Looking at the workers hurrying around, Jiang Suxing asked: "I just saw that the brothers and sisters in the various palaces along the way are also very busy, but what are they busy doing?"

Gu Baitang thought for a moment, "Yes, it's the end of August now, and in one month's time, the Royal Law Conference will be held."

After he said it, Jiang Suxing also remembered.The Imperial Law Conference is a grand event held every four years in Xicheng, and all the disciples in the city will compete on stage.Due to the large number of participants, the Royal Law Conference was held from the end of September to the end of December, which lasted for three months.During this period, it not only spends a lot of money, but also consumes huge manpower and material resources.Because the Royal Law Conference is not only a grand event in Xicheng itself, but also gods and Buddhas from all over the world, immortals and gods from all over the world, and all famous families and immortal families in the cultivation world will be invited to participate.

Therefore, when he passed by the Master of Ceremonies just now, Jiang Suxing saw those disciples hurrying back and forth with piles of invitation cards.Presumably, the roster of immortals invited to the heavens has come out, and they are busy distributing them.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at a courtyard, which was named Xingyun Courtyard in three large characters.This Xingyun courtyard is located in the west of the Law Enforcement Palace, and it is the inner courtyard where the elders and disciples usually live.

This big fire burned completely, from Yan Mingtang all the way to the public trial altar, the office area is now reduced to a cup of scorched earth, so now all the big and small affairs are temporarily moved to the Xingyun Academy.Right now, the Xingyun courtyard is also overcrowded. During the fifteen days that Gu Baitang was deserted, there were not a few criminal cases in Xicheng.

Gu Baitang's sudden appearance caused a commotion.

"Brother Gu!" A middle-aged man walked towards him with a smile on his face. At first glance, he looked simple and honest, but on closer inspection, there was a domineering aura hidden between his brows.As soon as he walked up, he directly punched Gu Baitang on the shoulder, "You are back. How much do I do for you these days, how can you thank me?"

This person's name was Zhuo Xinian, and his status in the Law Enforcement Palace was comparable to that of Gu Baitang.Jiang Suxing naturally recognized it.

Gu Baitang nodded slightly, his voice was somewhat familiar: "Brother Lao Zhuo is here."

In terms of seniority, Zhuo Xinian should be called Senior Brother Gu Baitang, but the two of them are considered brothers in private.

Zhuo Xinian turned his eyes, looked at the young monk behind Gu Baitang, and then at Gu Baitang, a smile of unknown meaning floated on his upright face.

Gu Baitang also lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "I'll go see my uncle first, and then I'll apologize to you."

Zhuo Xinian said: "Don't worry, it's better with my uncle, but not with me. Later, you need to compete with me. If you don't fight until you are exhausted, you won't count."

At this moment, Jiang Suxing smiled and said, "It's not easy for you two to fight. From time to time, the Royal Law Conference will be held, and then the two of you can have a good fight. If senior brother Zhuo doesn't mind, I can also fight with you."

Zhuo Xinian said: "Oh? You two want to beat me together? Okay, you, the chief disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace, and the famous Fuxiqin successor, join hands to bully me, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at if you say it out!"

At this moment, Gu Baitang said, "Brother Zhuo, Suxing didn't mean to offend."

Jiang Suxing smiled and said: "You are worrying too much, Senior Brother Zhuo is a generous person, so he won't mind these things." Then he bowed to Zhuo Xinian, and said: "I Yuping Jiang Suxing, I have met Senior Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Xinian laughed, "I heard Patriarch Jiang's name earlier, and I met him today. He turned out to be a sweetheart, not bad, and I like it. Brother Gu, you are too reserved. Fortunately, Patriarch Jiang is a straightforward person. It's too boring when you are in the room between the two of you."

Gu Baitang's face turned cold.

Zhuo Xinian and Jiang Suxing looked at each other with a smile, and hurriedly made way, "Come on, it's my fault, I shouldn't have teased you Senior Brother Gu. Master and the others are over there, you go first, there is still something waiting for me to go over there Deal with it, let’s talk about it another day.”

He also said that the court was busy with a case, Elder Huo and Elder Zuo were both there, seeing Gu Baitang coming, Elder Huo said to him directly: "Baitang, quickly take a few people to Tianzhu Peak, first Press down the matter over there and talk about it!"

As soon as Gu Baitang came back, he hadn't got his feet on his feet, and he was arranged to do things without even asking Ann, but he quickly got into the mood.After being stunned for a moment, he asked, "What happened to Tianzhu Peak?"

"The situation is urgent and I can't explain clearly in a few words, let him tell you on the way." Elder Huo pointed to a disciple.

The disciple bowed to the two elders, turned around and pulled Gu Baitang and walked out, "Brother, you are back. There was a case in Tianzhu Peak this morning, and it was that Senior Sister Zhu who was murdered... Senior Brother Zhuo was already one step ahead I took people there, but the scene was chaotic, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it..."

Hearing the vague words, Jiang Suxing was startled, "Senior Sister Zhu? But that Senior Sister Zhu? What happened to her?"

Uncle Huo waved his sleeve, "I only know that the person is not dead, and the specific situation is not clear. Let's ignore this, just come here, I will ask you something."

Jiang Suxing followed Elder Huo to the back hall, and guessed in his heart that Elder Huo wanted to ask him what was the matter.After the Wu Conglian incident happened that night, Jiang Suxing had been sleeping for the past few days, and the elders were not clear about the truth of what happened that night.

Sure enough, Elder Huo's first sentence was, "What happened that night?"

The second sentence is again, "Has Wu Conglian revealed Zhou Hui's whereabouts?"

The third sentence is, "What did you tell Baitang? How did you persuade him?"

Jiang Suxing had already planned these three questions in his mind on the way here, and it happened that Gu Baitang was no longer here, so it would be better for him to ask him one by one in a leisurely manner.

"Master, don't be in a hurry, and let the disciples explain in detail. After Master Wu left me that night, he first had a sad story with me. The main point is that I have many similarities with him. He is afraid of his accident. He would implicate Brother Baitang, and asked me to take care of Brother Baitang. I think he made a plan to commit suicide at that time. Later I asked him who Zhou Hui was, and he insisted that Zhou Hui had already been arrested by the police at that time. Master Yan sent him back to Changle, and asked us to go there to find someone. I thought to myself that he has such deep affection for Zhou Hui, how could he reveal Zhou Hui's whereabouts so easily, and when I asked him again, he...but burned I lit that fire... My master knows what happened afterwards. I escaped from the sea of ​​fire and fell into a coma for half a month. When I woke up, I heard that Brother Baitang was angry with you, so I went to persuade him. He didn't listen to me at first, I told him to tell him the truth about Uncle Wu's departure, and he was willing to follow me."

Upon hearing this, Elder Huo stared: "Then you really told him?"

Jiang Suxing nodded: "Yes, I told him."

Elder Huo said angrily, "Your master said you were smart, aren't you just messing around?!"

Jiang Suxing was not in a hurry, "Uncle, calm down. Uncle, think about it, you didn't tell him the truth before, how did he react? Wu Conglian made thousands of mistakes. After all, it is the master who raised Brother Baitang for 13 years. Wu Conglian's only apprentice, Brother Baitang must know how his master died. Brother Baitang is a stubborn person, once he gets serious, no one can do anything to him."

Elder Huo said: "We didn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. We thought you could find a way, but I didn't expect you to have this way. If I knew it, I would have told him myself, so as not to save him from gnashing his teeth at me and thinking it was me who plotted against me Wu Conglian."

Jiang Suxing said with a smile: "It turns out that Master is not angry with this. Don't worry, Brother Baitang is not an unreasonable person. He knows the truth of what happened back then, and knows that his master died for the crimes he committed back then." If you commit suicide, there will be no further disturbances. I can understand your painstaking efforts, don't you think he just came to greet you on his own initiative?"

Elder Huo frowned, and said: "This matter is over like this. But whether Wu Conglian is dead or not, don't be so eager to make a conclusion."

Jiang Suxing was startled, took a step forward, and asked: "The red lotus karmic fire was so powerful that it burned most of the Law Enforcing Palace. Besides, you all surrounded the courtyard around that time, could it be that Wu Conglian could still do it?" Can a golden cicada get out of its shell under your noses?"

Elder Huo smiled, "You are young, and you came to Xicheng late again, so I don't know how powerful he is. Not to mention that the Wu Zhi clan is good at refining souls and transforming souls, it is just a trivial matter to transfer flowers and trees. Maybe he has already arranged the game in advance. Wu Conglian was not sure whether the person burned to death that night was him or not. Over the years, Wu Conglian has done a lot of wonderful things. It’s nothing to be a golden cicada in front of everyone. How do you think he became a law enforcement officer? Elder Gong San? I won’t tell you about these things. I just lied to you junior disciples. None of my masters and your seniors think that he can die honestly. He, just taking advantage of this The opportunity is gone."

Jiang Suxing was extremely horrified, if that was the case, wouldn't Wu Conglian be a disaster for thousands of years?He and Zhou Hui are really the same.

Thinking about it this way, why did Wu Conglian say those words to him that night?Could it be that he was really afraid that Jiang Suxing would track down Zhou Hui's reincarnation and involve Gu Baitang in order to make him a fool?

Jiang Suxing couldn't figure it out, and heard Elder Huo say: "These days the master of ceremonies has been calling for souls in secret, trying to find out where Wu Conglian is. It will be the Royal Law Conference soon, and the master of ceremonies is also busy these days, so you can go to the Anhun Pavilion when you have time." Let's see if I can help Wen Yu."

"Disciple obeys. But right now, I have family members coming to Xicheng to visit, and now the guest house of Yingdi Palace, I need to go to see it first. I will go to see Senior Brother Wen at night."

"Well, remember, don't let Baitang know about this."

Elder Huo frowned deeply, and let out a long sigh, "Brother Qiu sent him to the Law Enforcement Palace, and his original intention was to let him sit under my seat. I have always disliked taking away apprentices who were related to me, but it was not good for Brother Fuqiu's face, so I just Pushed him to Wu Conglian. Because of this matter, Baitang has always been very worried about me. He is very proud, afraid that others will look down on him. At the age of 17, he became one of the top disciples in Xicheng, and won the title of Chief Disciple of the Law Enforcement Palace. Even so, he still walked on thin ice and was cautious. I am afraid that others will talk about him behind his back because of his connections. Now that something happened to Wu Conglian, although I have issued a ban to prohibit people from talking about it, but...you can control people's mouths but not people's hearts. Baitang will definitely be criticized for a while Time. It would be too much trouble, let Bai Tang think that Wu Conglian is dead."
