Chapter 201: Treat Others the Way They Do

Qi Zhengyan's expression was out of control, very exciting. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Ghost Sword?"

"Yes." Meng Qi drank and ate meat with an indifferent look on his face.

Qi Zhengyan was silent again, and did not ask about Li Sui's fate. He became famous for the Ghost Sword, and the sword never left his body. If the sword came again, he would either be disabled or dead, and there was no significant difference between the two.

After careful calculation, minus the time Meng Qi went to Wufenglou to buy pork head and braised beef, he went to Ye Mansion, killed Li Sui, and left in a leisurely manner, which was only half a cup of tea in total! This was the case when he was fully active on the road, not leisurely. Otherwise, wouldn't he fight Li Sui as soon as he met him and leave before everyone could react?

Li Sui is a swordsman who has been famous for many years. His seven orifices have been opened, and his inner world has been a little accomplished. If he can kill him in one or two moves, this strength is definitely better than some nine orifices!

"I just found this jar of wine from the cellar..." He said in a low voice, and took Li Sui's ghost sword, feeling the blade. It was the sword that cut his cousin's tendons and feet, and cut off his martial arts path. If it weren't for the death mission in the next reincarnation, he was going to find some medicine that could heal this injury.

"Hehe." Meng Qi laughed. He wanted Qi Zhengyan's reaction. The wine was not opened, the person was killed, and the blood was not cold. This is the style of a swordsman.

He enjoys these feelings, but he will not pay a big price for them. Generally, he will do it as the situation allows, and he can't let it go. He is still relatively rational and sober in his heart, just like he will never exchange some flashy things or things that he will naturally have sooner or later for the sake of prestige.

Qi Zhengyan handed the Ghost Sword back to Meng Qi. This was his trophy: "Li Sui was killed, and you are new here. The Ye family will definitely suspect us."

"What are you afraid of?" Meng Qi didn't care much and poured another bowl of wine. This sweet-scented osmanthus wine tasted sweet at first and spicy aftertaste. It was a good wine.

Qi Zhengyan looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he didn't care at all.

Meng Qi drank the wine, picked up a broad bean prepared by Qi Zhengyan, chewed it for a few times, and then said: "Cousin, you don't have the consciousness of a disciple of a big sect."

"Hmm?" Qi Zhengyan frowned slightly.

Meng Qi said with a smile: "Huanhua Sword Sect is not a peaceful Buddhist place like Shaolin. It must put doctrine and classics as the top priority, and will definitely protect its own secular interests first." "You are the symbol of Huanhua Sword Sect in Yicheng. Although you have no power or influence to force the Ye family to hand over the murderer, you can only watch them protect the murderer. After all, your cousin is not a disciple of Huanhua Sword Sect. But if it is the other way around, how dare they come to your door and force you to hand over the murderer? This is tantamount to declaring war on Huanhua Sword Sect. Even the Zhou Junwang family dare not risk this all-out conflict! And they don't want to provoke the Six Gates and make the matter public. The situation has become a big mess."

"As for the assassination, I don't think they dare to do it now. The situation is not calm now. It is not possible to secretly find a master of the underworld, kill him and escape, and let the Huanhua Sword Sect hunt him down, and then you can hide it. If something happens to you now, the sect will definitely send someone to come. When they find out, they will point directly to the Ye family."

"No matter what your uncle is thinking and what benefits he has received, he will definitely not be able to hide it if the leader of a party is killed. The truth will come out sooner or later."

Qi Zhengyan nodded slightly, and said with some doubt: "If there are witnesses and evidence to incriminate you..."

"Haha." Meng Qi smiled Shaking his head, "When your cousin's tendons were cut, it was also in public. What did the Ye family say? They said you fabricated charges and bribed witnesses! Now I can throw this sentence in their faces. I don't think they dare to make a big fuss and let Huanhua Sword Sect send more people." "If you are a disciple of a big sect and you are afraid of this and that, you will only make people think you are easy to bully. Only by being strong can they remember the Huanhua Sword Sect behind you, the sect's magic weapon, and the many powerful people outside." Qi Zhengyan said with relief: "I am an ordinary disciple in the sect. I have always been cautious and prudent. When I go outside, I am the same. This, but forgot the status and reputation of our sect.

Meng Qi drank another bowl of wine: "Cousin, don't worry. Even if Huanhua Sword Sect doesn't support you in such a bullied sect, why do you still stay in such a bullied sect? Follow me to wander around the world and settle scores as soon as possible.

"I believe that our sect will protect its disciples." Qi Zhengyan's expression was slightly relaxed. To be honest, he was not strong before because he was afraid that the helpers sent by the sect would discover his secrets. But now he has "cousin" Xiao Meng. When he encounters something that needs to be done openly, he will come forward, and the risk of exposing himself will be greatly reduced.

Meng Qi's internal strength is already high, and the more he drinks the sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the brighter his eyes become: "Cousin, your uncle has a lot of problems in handling things. I don't know if he is timid or there are other reasons?"

"Maybe he is old and wants to retreat and think about retirement." Qi Zhengyan guessed.

If you are the boss and want to make money, you must share the profits with your superiors, take care of those who know about it, and enjoy it yourself. You dare not go too far or be too blatant, otherwise you will be easily discovered. In a year, you can buy dozens of acres of land and build a new house, which is good enough. Even if Qi Zhengyan's uncle occupies good fields and shops, since there are no mines, medicine gardens and equipment refineries here, he will not have much more than him. Therefore, if you want to leave a wealthy family for your descendants after you are old and weak, you have to find another way.

"Yes, well, it is also possible that he is old and confused, thinking of keeping things quiet and thinking that he can solve the Tang family's affairs by himself, and he is afraid that if he reports it, he will be suspected of incompetence and transferred away." Meng Qi nodded lightly.

This action to exclude the power of Huanhua Sword Sect will definitely not resort to open violence. Otherwise, even if Yicheng is backed by the Wang family of Yedu, it is quite far away from Sixiu Mountain where Huanhua Sword Sect is located. Huanhua Sword Sect will have to send people to hold on for the sake of face. It can only gather other forces first and use cold violence of non-cooperation to squeeze out the power of Huanhua Sword Sect.

In this way, Huanhua Sword Sect can save face and there are only fields, manors and ordinary shops here, which are not important. They often pinch their noses and acquiesce. At most, they will blame the person in charge for incompetence and failure to get along well with local forces.

Qi Zhengyan's uncle was willing to take the risk of being punished afterwards, but he also wanted to suppress the matter and maintain stability. Except for his other purpose, there is only an old and foolish explanation.

Qi Zhengyan nodded and agreed with Meng Qi's words.

"In short, if things show signs of corruption, cousin, you can bypass the uncle and directly reply to the sect." Meng Qi ate meat and drank wine.

Qi Zhengyan showed a bitter smile on his expressionless face: "To be honest, if there is no other choice, I don't want to let the sect send people."

The strength of the people sent to suppress the situation will definitely not be low, and they may even be from outside. If he says later, "Xiao Qi, you are quite calm in doing things. Let the master teach you a few moves", or "Xiao Meng, your swordsmanship is outstanding, which makes people want to show off their skills. Why don't I suppress my strength and compete with you in swordsmanship? Hey, how come you have the Golden Bell Cover..." Then things will be troublesome.

Meng Qi nodded heavily: "If we can solve it ourselves, of course we don't want to alarm the mountain. It's just a last resort and a background that people are concerned about."

As he was talking, it suddenly became noisy outside. A waiter knocked on the door and said in a panic: "Master Qi, the people of the Ye family are here to ask for the murderer!"

He glanced at Meng Qi with fear, curiosity and awe. Master Qi's cousin actually killed Ghost Shadow Sword Li Sui quietly, and in the Ye Mansion. This strength and courage are too terrible!

Could it be that he came here specially to avenge his relatives?

What should the cousin of Master Qi be called...

Qi Zhengyan and Meng Qi discussed for a while, and now he was determined, stood up expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Tell the Ye family later that my cousin has not left the house."

"Yes, Master Qi." The clerk answered hurriedly.

Meng Qi did not change his clothes, patted the dust off his body, and followed Qi Zhengyan out of the backyard and outside the store.

There were dozens of people standing outside the door, many of whom were martial arts masters at first glance. The leader was a young man in brocade and jade robes, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with makeup on his face and vicious eyes.

As soon as he saw Meng Qi wearing a green shirt, he pointed at him and asked the maids, servants and guests beside him: "Is it him?"

The maids and servants had never seen Meng Qi's appearance, and they were speechless, not knowing how to answer. The young master glared at them and quickly said: "It was him, he killed Mr. Li!"

The young master turned his head to look at Qi Zhengyan, and said with a gloomy face: "Master Qi, why did you send people to sneak into the Ye Mansion and kill my guests? Is this the way of doing things in the Huanhua Sword School?"

Qi Zhengyan walked down the steps slowly, with a solemn aura, which made the young master couldn't help but take a step back. How come Master Qi gave people a completely different feeling after not seeing him for a few days.

"You fabricated charges and found someone to frame my cousin." Qi Zhengyan didn't ask much, and said directly and indifferently.

The young master was stunned, and then he was furious: "There are witnesses and evidence, and you said it was a frame-up?"

"Of course, I personally accompanied my cousin and didn't leave for a step, don't you think so?" Qi Zhengyan turned back and said to the shopkeeper.

His eyes were cold, and the shopkeeper and his assistant dared not not answer: "Yes, the cousin of the headmaster Qi has never left the rice shop."

"Young Master Ye, did you hear that? If you frame my cousin again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Qi Zhengyan looked at Young Master Ye coldly.

Young Master Ye gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have the final say, follow me to see the official!"

"What official can an innocent person see? Even if the county magistrate and the head of the police come in person, they can't frame my cousin!" Qi Zhengyan's expression remained unchanged.

"Okay, okay! Take him to the Six Gates!" Young Master Ye was furious and pointed at Meng Qi.

The masters beside him were about to jump out, Qi Zhengyan stepped forward and looked around at them:

"This is the land of Huanhua Sword Sect, do you want to fight?"

He took another step and shouted without emotion:

"Do you want to be enemies with our sect?"

"Do you want to declare war on our sect?"

He was so imposing that Young Master Ye and the masters around him took several steps back, and then they remembered the other party's identity, the head of a place of Huanhua Sword Sect!

Just when Mr. Ye San was about to say something polite, Meng Qi suddenly smiled and looked at him and said, "Mr. Ye San, when my cousin's cousin's tendons were cut, it was you who said that you fabricated charges and framed Li Sui?"

Mr. Ye San was about to answer, but when he saw Meng Qi's smile without a smile, his heart suddenly felt cold. He thought of Li Sui who lived deep in the Ye Mansion but was brutally murdered. He swallowed hard, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, with extremely fast steps, as if he wanted to get rid of some evil spirit.

"Cousin, I'm not afraid, but you must be careful of the Ye family's revenge when you go out in the future. After all, they have the family treasure." Qi Zhengyan warned, worried that Meng Qi would be arrogant.

Just as Meng Qi was about to answer, crying came from the street, but it was a group of people hugging the carriage and crying while walking.

"Wan family?" Qi Zhengyan said to himself in confusion, and asked a waiter to go and inquire.

After a while, the waiter returned and said, "Reporting to Chief Qi, it was Master Wan who was killed on the river, and his guards brought the body back home. It is said that Master Tang was also there at the time, but was shot by an assassin and fell into the water, and his life or death is unknown."

When the young master of the Wan family went out to do business, he naturally brought guards with him. However, at that time, he felt that with the master of the second young master Tang beside him, he did not need protection and it was inconvenient to talk about business, so he did not call them. After he was killed, the guards came and collected the body.

After returning to the city, they waited until dawn, sent someone home to notify them, and only escorted the body into the city after receiving a response, which was much slower than Meng Qi.
