Chapter 967 The Zhao Family Pleads Guilty
Fan Long, Sun Gui, and Sun Kui left. Zhou Da continued to manage the daily business of Shenfeng Pavilion, while Xiao Yi was locked in the house for retreat.
However, just three days into the retreat, Zhou Da knocked on the door.
Xiao Yi was in the room, frowning slightly. He had already told Zhou Da not to disturb his practice if there was nothing important.
Now Zhou Da knocks on the door. Could it be that something big happened?
Xiao Yi stood up and opened the door.
Zhou Da led one person and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I told you that you are in retreat and cannot be disturbed. But Inspector Zhao said that he must see you."
The frightened man standing behind Zhou Da was undoubtedly Zhao Yin.
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Yin.
Zhao Yin quickly bowed and said: "Uncle Zhang, I...I am here to admit my mistake! I should not have conspired with Wu Qingfeng to steal the pills from Shenfeng Pavilion. No matter how you want to punish me, Zhao will always I promise, there will be absolutely no resentment at all.”
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
"Inspector Zhao knows his mistakes and can correct them. There is no greater good. If Wu Qingfeng was as aware as Inspector Zhao, how could he end up dead?" Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Yin nodded.
Zhao Yin and Xiao Yi knew very well that stealing the elixir was simply a lie. But now that Zhao Yin has taken the initiative to admit this crime, it means a lot!
In the past three days, the news about the Wu family's disgrace had spread, but the Wu family remained silent and did not dare to act rashly. Such a situation made Zhao Junzhi finally make a decision!
If these incidents alone were not enough to change Zhao Junzhi's determination, what Xiao Yi said to Zhao Junzhi when he personally went to the Zhao Mansion three days ago has been lingering in Zhao Junzhi's mind. These words also had an important impact on Zhao Junzhi's decision.
The only person who can make Zhao Yin innocent and plead guilty is Zhao Junzhi.
In addition, Zhao Yin's guilty plea further confirmed Wu Qingfeng's guilt. The only flaw in Wu Qingfeng's guilt is that there is no proof of his death. There is physical evidence but no one! But now, Zhao Yin claims that the two conspired to steal, and the accusation is completely confirmed.
This is equivalent to another slap in the face of the Wu family. Even if the relationship between the Zhao family and the Wu family has not broken down, there will still be resentment.
"Brother Zhao is the supervisor, so you should come in and sit down to talk! Uncle Zhou, go about your business." Xiao Yi dismissed Zhou Da and led Zhao Yin into his room.
After entering, Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Inspector Zhao, please take a seat!"
"No... I don't dare. Zhao can just stand." Zhao Yin quickly said awkwardly. Now in front of Xiao Yi, he didn't look half as arrogant as before.
Even though I tried my best to control my emotions, my legs still couldn't help but tremble a little!
Xiao Yi smiled and sat down by himself.
"There is no need for Inspector Zhao to explain the story of the theft. This matter is over." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
Zhao Yin was overjoyed. He thought that if he confessed his crime, he would definitely be punished by the new uncle of the Du family!
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your magnanimity. But if you are wrong, you are wrong. The head of the family has said that the Zhao family must admit its mistakes. This divine ring is what the Zhao family uses to atone for my sins. Please accept it, Mr. Zhang." Zhao Yin As he said that, he held a small ring in both hands and handed it to Xiao Yi carefully.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay, if I don't accept this divine ring, Inspector Zhao will never be able to settle down."
With a smile on his face, Xiao Yi took the divine ring away. After sweeping away his soul, his eyes lit up.
"The Zhao family's handiwork is great! It's much more generous than my father-in-law!" Xiao Yi felt happy, there were actually 130,000 divine stones in this divine ring!
Thirty thousand should be used to compensate for the loss of the elixir. Needless to say, the other one hundred thousand was used by the Zhao family to bribe Xiao Yi, the new uncle of the Du family.
"Go back and thank Patriarch Zhao for me." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
Zhao Yin looked a little embarrassed and said: "Um...Uncle Zhang, the head of the family hopes that I can continue to stay and be the inspector of Shenfeng Pavilion. Well, so...I can't go back yet."
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows: "Is this really what Family Master Zhao means?"
Xiao Yi believes that he can't be wrong when looking at people. It is true that Zhao Junzhi is a strong man, but due to various scruples, this person's character has already become cautious and cautious. This time, he was a little surprised that Zhao Yin could take the initiative to admit his mistakes, but he allowed Zhao Yin to continue to stay. Being an inspector is definitely not in line with Zhao Junzhi's character.
Because Zhao Yin had already offended Xiao Yi, since Zhao Junzhi wanted to maintain the relationship with Xiao Yi, it was impossible for Zhao Junzhi to let someone he hated stay.
Zhao Yin was stared at by Xiao Yi, and suddenly felt panic in his heart, and said quickly: "This is my uncle's suggestion. The head of the house did not agree with it at first, but then the uncle didn't know what he said to the head of the house, and the head of the house accepted it. Grandpa’s advice told me to continue to be the inspector.”
Xiao Yi smiled.
Sure enough.
"It seems that Zhao Yin also played a lot of roles in Zhao Junzhi's changes. This Zhao Yin really still has ambitions!" Xiao Yi smiled secretly in his heart and nodded: "Okay, no problem. I also believe in me. You will have a great time getting along with Inspector Zhao from now on."
Zhao Yin said in surprise: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I promise to stay in the house to practice from now on, and I will never cause you any trouble."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "Brother Zhao said this, now and then you should go out and walk around and show off!"
Zhao Yin looked confused. Mr. Zhang wanted to make his position as supervisor useless, so there was no need to speak so bluntly...
Zhao Yin's face was stiff for a while, then he quickly put on a smile and said: "Yes, yes, what Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true. Then... Zhao went back to his room?"
"Go." Xiao Yi waved his hand and said with a smile.
Zhao Yin turned around and left happily, and Xiao Yi continued to retreat.
Originally, the sacred stone in Xiao Yi's hand was only enough for him to retreat for half a month, but because of the generosity of the Zhao family, Xiao Yi stayed in retreat for two months this time!
Xiao Yi spent the past two months practicing in the house. In total, there were nearly 200,000 divine stones, all of which were devoured by him...
But even so, his cultivation has only reached the peak of the middle stage of divine beings, and he has not been able to reach the late stage of divine beings.
When you step into Shinto practice and want to make a breakthrough, relying solely on the accumulation of resources is no longer of much use. Resources can only provide assistance in staged cultivation, allowing the divine power to grow rapidly within a stage. The peak bottleneck requires both factors to meet the conditions before it can be broken through.
One is the realization of the realm, the other is the precipitation of the physical body.
In the cultivation of divine power, every small stage of breakthrough is a qualitative transformation. If the physical body is not settled enough, it will be difficult to withstand the pressure brought by the new realm of divine power on the physical body.
As for the state of enlightenment, Xiao Yi has already reached it, so as long as the physical conditions are sufficient, a breakthrough will be a matter of course.
