Chapter 202

"Brother Li, then why tell us only now?"

"Young people, you know, need to temper their character more."

"..."

Ning Zhongtian was speechless for a moment, but Li Rui's words made a lot of sense; the Galloping Tiger Cavalry was indeed brave enough but lacked patience.

"As expected of an elder, he thinks so thoroughly!"

The depression in his heart was swept away instantly.

Li Rui training the Galloping Tiger Cavalry is strengthening his own power; as a leader, he is naturally happy to see it happen.

As for Li Rui keeping even him in the dark.

Given their friendship, he didn't care at all, and given his temperament, if he had known in advance, he would definitely have been the first to lose his patience.

That's why he was kept in the dark along with the others.

Ning Zhongtian only thought that Li Rui had a good relationship with Jiang Linxian's only daughter, Jiang Yan, and that was how he obtained first-hand information.

The actual situation was.

Jiang Yan didn't know at all.

Jiang Linxian expressed himself so obscurely even to his subordinates, so it was even more impossible for him to tell his daughter, 'I'm going to deal with your cousin.'

It was Li Rui who guessed that Jiang Linxian specifically named him to go to the Huaqing Sect.

He guessed that this trip would absolutely not be simple.

So he had been paying attention to this detail all along.

As for associating it with Jiang Baichuan, it wasn't learned from communicating with Jiang Yan last night, but earlier, when he learned about the Huaqing Sect's situation from Jiang Yan.

Effort must be made in ordinary times.

So when he saw Han Shaoquan take out so many dossiers abnormally today.

He guessed that what Jiang Linxian wanted them to do was definitely in these dossiers.

Otherwise, given the relationship between the Huaqing Sect and the Anning Guard, there was no need to take out so many dossiers.

If no problem could be found, it would be a waste of time for both sides, but if a big problem were really found, it would be embarrassing for both sides.

It was unnecessary to do so by any logic.

Han Shao would be Han Qin's master; from Han Qin's performance, one could tell that Han Shao would not be a person who didn't understand the ways of the world.

It must have had another deep meaning.

According to Jiang Yan's description.

He first found those people Jiang Yan didn't like.

That was how he locked onto Jiang Baichuan so quickly.

This matter was not hard to investigate; Jiang Baichuan didn't even have much cover, and the accounts were written too crudely; as long as one was careful, one could see the problems.

For example, a chair—damn it, could it cost three thousand taels?

Even if that thing were made of gold, it wouldn't cost three thousand taels, right?

Such expenses were everywhere.

No need to think, it must be using this method to put the Huaqing Sect's money into his own pocket.

Clearly.

Jiang Linxian had reached the point of being unable to tolerate his cousin anymore.

This was clearly wanting to use an outsider to poke through this last layer of window paper.

Li Rui and his group were those outsiders.

Ning Zhongtian asked: "Brother Li, then what do you think should be done next?"

"Of course, report it to the Huaqing Sect Master."

Tan Hu rarely used his brain at this time: "Aren't you afraid that the so-called Sect Master will shield Jiang Baichuan?"

Li Rui chuckled:

"Would you shield a thief who steals things from your own home?"

Huaqing Sect.

In a large, quiet, and simple residential complex in the back mountain.

Bang!

A teacup was crushed to pieces.

"What?"

"Baichuan was taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall of the sect, why?"

A capable, noble-looking middle-aged man frowned, ignoring the tea splashed all over his body.

A woman with gorgeous clothes and lingering charm cried in front of him.

"It must be that Zhang who has bad intentions, deliberately targeting our Chuan'er."

The two were members of the Jiang clan of the Huaqing Sect.

The man's name was Jiang Ding, an elder of the Jiang clan of the Huaqing Sect, with extremely high prestige, second only to Jiang Linxian.

Jiang Baichuan was his eldest son.

"Stop crying!"

Jiang Ding looked at his crying wife with annoyance.

Scolded like this, the woman timidly crouched to the side like a kitten: "Husband, think of a way, what if Baichuan has some mishap..."

"Enough!"

Jiang Ding waved his hand: "I have my own way for this matter."

A burst of restlessness.

Huaqing Sect Sect Master Zhang Yuanchang is the sect master, but anyone with eyes knows that Jiang Linxian is the true master of the Huaqing Sect.

Therefore, the forces of the Jiang clan and the Sect Master's lineage have always been at odds, with constant infighting.

Clearly.

This time is the same.

His good eldest son must have been caught with evidence.

"I'm going out for a trip; before I return, don't add to the chaos, and in the future, keep a strict watch on Baichuan!"

After saying this.

Jiang Ding stood up and walked toward the door.

Although Jiang Baichuan's root bone was not top-tier, he was his son after all, so he had to be saved.

A moment later.

He arrived at the Sect Master's Hall located on the main peak.

A magnificent palace was hidden among layers of ancient trees, giving the cold palace a few more touches of vitality.

Jiang Ding had just walked onto the main hall.

A young man greeted him.

"Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Ding glanced at the young man; he was Xu Feng, the first disciple of Sect Master Zhang Yuanchang.

He snorted coldly: "I'm looking for Sect Master Zhang."

Xu Feng was humble: "Uncle Jiang, it's really a coincidence; Master just went into seclusion and will only come out in ten days."

"Seclusion?"

Jiang Ding sneered.

Zhang Yuanchang didn't go into seclusion early or late, but chose this time; he was clearly deliberately avoiding him.

"Then what should be said about my son Baichuan's matter?"

Hearing this, Xu Feng's apology increased: "Uncle Jiang, please accept my condolences..."

'Condolences?' Jiang Ding had a bad premonition in his heart.

Then he heard Xu Feng say: "Junior Brother Baichuan snatched a weapon on the way to the Law Enforcement Hall to harm his fellow disciples and was killed on the spot."

"What?!"

Jiang Ding's pupils contracted slightly.

He had originally thought that Zhang Yuanchang was taking the opportunity to use Jiang Baichuan as a hostage to exchange for benefits, and he had already prepared to bleed heavily.

How could he have known.

What Zhang Yuanchang wanted was his son's life.

Harming fellow disciples—that was all an excuse!

Jiang Ding was furious, staggering back half a step, pointing at Xu Feng: "You... how dare you, such great courage!"

"Actually daring to kill members of the Jiang clan indiscriminately."

Xu Feng kept a smile on his face, correcting him: "Uncle Jiang, you misunderstood; it's not indiscriminate killing, it's all in accordance with the Huaqing Sect's precepts."

=9+Book_Bar

"Precepts?"

Jiang Ding was immediately laughed at by anger.

When had his Jiang clan members ever been bound by the Huaqing Sect's precepts?

But just as he was about to erupt, a chill rose from his back, making him calm down instantly.

Zhang Yuanchang had always been extremely restrained in taking action against Jiang clan members.

Why was he acting so abnormally this time?

Daring to do this in the Huaqing Sect could only mean one reason, and that was that someone was backing him.

Who could that person be?

It goes without saying.

Jiang Ding felt cold all over; he no longer wanted to think about it.

Snorting coldly.

He walked down the Sect Master's Hall with big strides.

One hour later.

In the guest courtyard of the Huaqing Sect.

"You... what are you doing?!"

A Huaqing Sect disciple guarding the courtyard saw a group of aggressive Jiang clan members rushing up and panicked.

They were all young members of the Jiang clan.

Among them, the leading Jiang clan member looked at the empty residence and scolded:

"Where are the people?"

The Huaqing Sect disciple's voice trembled slightly.

Given the Jiang clan's status in the Huaqing Sect, he dared not provoke them at all: "They went out early in the morning, saying they were going to Anning City."

"Anning City?"

The leading Jiang clan member frowned.

They came here naturally to ask for an explanation.

The news of Jiang Baichuan's death had already spread in the Jiang family.

A Jiang clan member died inexplicably; how could these hot-blooded young people endure it?

Even if Jiang Baichuan wasn't a good person, he could only be killed by the Jiang clan's family law.

It was not the turn of an outsider to do it.

And I don't know where the wind came from, saying that Jiang Baichuan was framed by people from the Anning Guard and died unjustly.

That was how the scene of a group of Jiang clan members surrounding the guest courtyard appeared today.

The leading Jiang clan member pushed the guarding disciple away.

And walked in with big strides.

He kicked open a room door that was slightly ajar.

His expression froze.

He saw that the room was densely covered with white paper, even the ceiling was covered.

His pupils widened slightly:

"Account books?"

"Brother Li, is it really necessary for us to be so urgent?"

Ning Zhongtian looked at Li Rui beside him.

As soon as they told the Huaqing Sect's Sect Master Zhang about Jiang Baichuan's matter, Li Rui ordered them to pack their luggage without a moment's delay, not even saying goodbye to the Huaqing Sect people.

Li Rui sighed:

"Jiang Baichuan will most likely lose his life."

Ning Zhongtian was shocked: "So serious?"

"Yes."

Li Rui nodded.

In this matter, I'm afraid Jiang Linxian has already reached a tacit understanding with that Sect Master Zhang.

He had heard Jiang Yan say before.

Because Jiang Linxian rose to power, the Jiang clan became the leader of the Huaqing Sect in one fell swoop.

It was fine in the early years, but in recent years, as the Jiang clan's power grew larger, the behavior of many clan members became more and more arrogant.

Jiang Linxian naturally discovered this trend.

But before he rose to power, he relied on the support of the Jiang clan to soar to the heavens; taking action at this time would definitely chill the hearts of the Jiang family.

Even if Jiang Linxian cannot take action.

Then he must find someone to take action.

Huaqing Sect Sect Master Zhang Yuanchang is the best candidate.

But Zhang Yuanchang still has to continue being the Sect Master of the Huaqing Sect; he cannot offend the Jiang family to death, even if this matter has already been instructed by Jiang Linxian.

It is inconvenient to break the window paper actively.

So an outsider is missing in all the links to act as a lead.

Isn't Li Rui here to do this?

Simply put, coming to the Huaqing Sect this time is to be a scapegoat for his superior, Jiang Linxian.

As a scapegoat, one must have the awareness of a scapegoat.

If they don't run quickly, they might be blocked in the Huaqing Sect by the angry Jiang clan members; if it becomes a mass incident, they will be beaten to death, which would be death in vain.

Would Jiang Linxian really take action against his blood relatives for the sake of a few subordinates?

What he wants is to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, not to exterminate the Jiang clan.

"Dangerous!"

Ning Zhongtian was analyzed by Li Rui like this.

He felt a chill down his back instantly.

Coming to the Huaqing Sect this time, they didn't even move their hands, yet they brushed shoulders with the King of Hell many times.

"Fortunately, we ran fast."

He let out a long sigh of relief.

He was incredibly fortunate that Li Rui came along this time, otherwise they might have fallen in the Huaqing Sect.

There are not a few people who have died because they were scapegoats for their leaders.

This is a field of study.

At this moment—

Lines of small characters appeared before Li Rui's eyes.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement of the primary plot of 'Rising to General and Entering the Prime Minister'—Sharing Worries for the Superior.】
