Chapter 18 "Asking for Justice with an Army"

Chapter 18 "Asking for Justice with an Army"
"The Lin family has been fighting for so long, yet the office of the district magistrate has only just received news of it?"
"Even my own son has been captured?"
As Lin Xiao spoke, his expression grew colder and more indifferent.
The magistrate Qi Sheng knew that no matter how he explained it, it was meaningless. He could only say sullenly, "Master Lin, please accept my condolences!"
"Accept your condolences?"
Hahaha...
"Magistrate, Lin has learned his lesson! Since you didn't take care of what happened earlier today, my Lin family will use our own methods to solve it!"
"As the governing official, I hope you will be as punctual as you were when you came here!"
Linxiao spoke coldly, emphasizing the word "punctual" very clearly.
At this moment, everyone could tell that Linxiao was angry! As an eight-star spiritual master, he had the right to say such things!
"Master Lin, there is no resolution to this matter! Furthermore, a poison master appearing in your Lin family, shouldn't you explain to everyone?"
Zhenxia magistrate Qi Sheng attempted to shift the blame onto the Lin family, but how could Lin Xia let him have his way.
"As the head of the house, I only respect you because I consider the face of the princess's residence. If you continue to distort the truth, don't blame me, the Lin family, for being impolite!"
"Besides, my family has suffered so many casualties, and my son has been taken away. As a law enforcement officer, the prefect should give us some explanation as citizens, right?"
The local magistrate, Qi Sheng, had a look of uncertainty on his face upon hearing this news. It was clear that these recent events were beyond his expectations. Lin Xiao's words made it hard for him to come to a conclusion.
Just then, Li Peiyuan from the Li family arrived with a dozen people in tow.
"Just in time!"
"Magistrate, I've heard that it's the Li family who brought Lin's family with them. Crimes have their perpetrators, let him explain it to you!"
Lin Xiao sneered.
Li Peiyuan and his group had just arrived at Lin's house and hadn't even provoked Lin Xiao yet, when they heard his words.
Li Peiyuan was still puzzled, but when he came back to his senses, he saw the town sheriff leading a group of guards and staring at them on the side! What was even more puzzling to Li Peiyuan was his own family?
林府前面如此混乱，显然是遭遇了一场大战。
可是自己的弟弟李裴旦呢？古昇呢？难道都死了？就算是死了总得有李家人的尸体吧？
Moreover, Li Peiyuan definitely did not believe that they were dead. He would rather believe that Li Peidan and the others had returned to the Li family first.
But now, what is the situation before them?
"The town magistrate has arrived, and Li apologizes for not welcoming you from afar!"
Li Peiyuan quickly adjusted his mentality and smiled pretentiously with a calm attitude.
Li Peiyuan is a sly old fox, so naturally he knows not to strike a smiling face.
"Li Peiyuan, what's going on with your Li family? How did you get mixed up with the poison master Gu Sheng and almost caused a disaster? Explain it well, everyone present is a witness."
Magistrate Qi Sheng originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he didn't expect it to become more complicated. The Lin family and the Li family are both troublemakers!
However, as the nominal magistrate in charge of maintaining the peace in Panlong Town, he cannot avoid this responsibility!
"This... "
Although Li Peiyuan anticipated that there might be a major change in the situation, he never expected that Gu Sheng, who came to help their Li family deal with the Lin family, would be a poison master!
Could it be that Li Peiyuan and the others really encountered an accident? Li Peiyuan couldn't help but think of the worst case scenario. If things were really like that, then today's situation would be completely exposed.
"Li Jiazhu, you seem to have a really good memory!" Lin Xiao's gaze turned cold.
"Lin Song, please tell everyone what happened here!"
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's order, Lin Song proceeded to recount what had happened.
"What? Li Peidan is dead? The entire Li family is dead?"
At this moment, Li Peiyuan no longer cares about his image. His heartbreaking appearance does not win him any sympathy from anyone.
"Li Peiyuan, combined with your ambush on my Lin family in the Dilong Mountain Range, the truth is about to be revealed!"
Lin Xiao stared at Li Peiyuan with the look of staring at a dead man.
"Second brother! How can you be so foolish! Big brother never expected that after so many years of wandering outside, you would end up befriending someone like a poisonous expert!"
"Ah, dust to dust, soil to soil it is! I hope in the next life you will be born into a good family and become a good person, not stubbornly persisting in your wrong ways!"
Li Peiyuan's crying tone was so sad that even the listener could not distinguish between truth and falsehood.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was stunned, Qi Sheng was stunned, and Tu Xing was stunned. Even the people present who witnessed all of this were also stunned.
This Li Peiyuan can't be any more shameless!
Trying to absolve himself with just a few words?
"Li Peiyuan, how do you explain spreading the beast-attracting powder in the Di Long Mountain Range and setting an ambush for our Lin family disciples?"
Lin Xiao has never seen such a shameless character before. Although he has been dealing with Li Peiyuan for so many years, he did not expect that Li Peiyuan would be even more shameless than he had imagined!
"Oh~ Master Lin, we were supposed to go out to hunt, but unexpectedly we didn't attract any spiritual animals and instead attracted Master Lin. Ahahaha..."
Li Peiyuan laughed with a double entendre.
"Li Peiyuan, you sure have a silver tongue! If your younger brother had half your talent, he wouldn't have died without even a corpse left behind..."
Lin Xiao didn't expect to be scolded by Li Peiyuan in such a roundabout way. So he didn't mind rubbing salt into the wound.
"Hmph!"
Li Peiyuan now only wants to return to the Li family to quickly regroup their remaining forces, and Lin Xiao is also anxious to go find Lin Hao, so the two of them fell silent without prior agreement.
Qi Sheng saw that both of them were not talking, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since the head of the Li family was unaware of this matter, it was entirely the personal act of Li Peidan from the Li family, and the Lin family also suffered an injustice. Now that Gu Sheng has fled, let's bring this matter to a close!"
"If anyone discovers the whereabouts of Gu Sheng, please inform the town's governing office promptly. In the name of the governing office, we will offer a reward of ten spirit stones and three sets of returning spirit powder!"
"You all may leave now!"
The local magistrate, Qi Sheng, proved to be a seasoned peacemaker. With everyone harboring their own agenda, he left the remaining matters to be dealt with by their respective families.
Although the original intention of the local magistrate, Qi Sheng, and Tu Xing from the Ju Bao Pavilion was to witness the true nature of the Lin family's formation.
After all, according to the information they have gathered, the formation that can withstand the full force attack of Gusheng, who is suspected to be at the virtual spirit level after experiencing a surge of strength, without any damage, must be a third-order formation without a doubt!
However, judging from the current situation, it's better not to step into the Lin family's territory. It will be more convenient to visit them after the Lin family's aptitude testing ceremony in the near future.
When everyone had left, Lin Xiao gathered all the members of the Lin family in the family's martial arts training ground.
