Martial Cultivator

Chapter 1082: Scholars Don’t Read

Xie Zhonghang was the third child in the Xie family, so everyone called him the Third Old Master. In the years when the head of the family was not in charge of the family affairs, the Third Old Master took over the position of the head of the family and managed the affairs for a few years. Later, as the Third Old Master's health deteriorated, the person in charge became the Third Old Master Xie.

It is also a coincidence that the Third Old Master is the third child, and his son is also the third child.

The body of the Third Old Master Xie is here, and it is a bit too cruel for the father to see it?

Many young people stood outside the courtyard and listened to this, and they were a little angry. They had read a lot of books and understood some truths. They knew what it meant to forgive others when they could.

Moreover, whether the Third Old Master Xie had done evil things or not, it was still unclear.

So soon some young people wanted to speak.

But at this moment, a voice sounded outside the courtyard, "The Third Old Master is dead!"

This voice sounded abruptly, and everyone frowned at once.

Someone in the crowd pointed at Chen Chao and said, "The Third Old Master must have heard the bad news, so he was pissed to death!"

"Killing people is not enough, he actually acted like this, such a person is even an important official in the court, God is really blind!"

"The Third Old Master has been tortured by illness in the past few years, and now he died in such a way, it's really pitiful..."

Some voices rang out in the crowd, but almost all of them were accusing Chen Chao.

Chen Chao didn't say anything, just sat under the eaves, watching the rain getting heavier.

In fact, the voices of these people were mostly blocked by the sound of rain, and they didn't reach Chen Chao's ears, but even if they did, he didn't care much.

He just felt a little dissatisfied. The bastard who called Xie Zhongxing should die, but not now. At least he should die after seeing the body of the Third Master Xie.

Chen Chao, who was in a bad mood, went to see the body of the Third Master Xie in the rain. In fact, many young people had wanted to rush up to collect the body of the Third Master Xie, but in the end they were stopped by their elders.

Young people may not think about the face of the Xie family, but they always think that death is the greatest, and everything can be discussed later.

But those Xie family elders who are not young know very well that the body of Mr. Xie San can only be soaked in the rain at this moment, and the future will be discussed later. Now the needs of the young garrison commander must be met, otherwise things will only get worse.

Moreover, many people have already tacitly agreed that Mr. Xie San must be the real murderer of Mr. Sixteen. If he is not sure, the young garrison commander will not come here from afar to kill people. After all, compared with killing people, the consequences are too great.

As for what Mr. Xie San said before about giving way to Xie Nandu, it actually makes no sense, because Xie Nandu no longer needs anyone to give way. If she wants to be the head of the family, she can be the head of the family, but it’s just whether she is willing or not.

In the heavy rain, an oil-paper umbrella came here against the heavy rain. It was Xie Qing. This young man did not have a very high status in the Xie family, but today’s incident, by chance, he became extremely important.

He came under the eaves and put down his umbrella, but his whole body was still quite wet. When the rain was too heavy, it was impossible to block it no matter if he held an umbrella or not.

Xie Qing glanced at Mr. Xie San in the yard. Of course, it was just a corpse, so he quickly turned his attention to Chen Chao.

"Sir, the garrison commander, the head of the family has come out of the confinement."

Xie Qing whispered, "Please ask the garrison commander to go over there to discuss matters."

When he came, he had heard about the death of the third old master. He thought that the head of the family was still the head of the family, and he was still so vigorous when doing things.

Chen Chao didn't speak. He ignored Xie Qing and didn't say anything. He just sat there.

Xie Qing bowed and waited for a long time, but didn't wait for Chen Chao's reply, so he gently called again, "Sir, the garrison commander?"

Chen Chao ignored him. At this moment, he even closed his eyes, as if he was a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap here.

Xie Qing smiled bitterly. How could he not understand the reason for Chen Chao's behavior.

It's just that Mr. Xie San is just an acting head of the family. To a certain extent, he really can't represent the Xie family. But if the head of the family really comes, then it really doesn't take the Xie family seriously, right?

Thinking so, Xie Qing still didn't plan to say anything. The head of the family came out of retreat before, and the solemn expression on his face was enough to explain something.

The Xie family seemed to be in its heyday. The Xie family in Shendu was the only one in power, and there was Xie Nandu in the north. It seemed that it would not fall down, but it depends on who was offended.

It doesn't matter if you offend others, but if you say you want to offend the most difficult person in the world, probably everyone will think about it carefully.

Xie Qing opened the umbrella, turned around and walked into the rain curtain, but after a few steps, a figure appeared in the rain curtain, and a man holding an umbrella walked over.

"Head of the family."

Xie Qing looked at the man and spoke quickly.

The man who came was Xie Zhongli, the head of the Bailu Xie family of this generation.

When he was young, he was a good student. When he was in his thirties, he was already famous. Later, he began to practice cultivation and became the head of the Xie family at the age of knowing his destiny. Over the years, he has been the one who has the final say in the Xie family.

Of course, in the past ten years, Xie Zhongli often practiced in seclusion, and all the matters of the Xie family were handed over to others.

Before, it was the third old master Xie Zhongxing, and later it was the third master Xie Ting.

At this moment, the gray-haired Xie Zhongli appeared in front of everyone, and many people even saw this head of the family for the first time in these years.

Xie Zhongli walked under the eaves, handed the umbrella to Xie Qing, and then smiled and said, "Hello, Lord Guardian."

Xie Qing took the umbrella and stood aside, silent.

Chen Chao slowly opened his eyes, then looked at the head of the Xie family in front of him, and smiled: "I thought I would not be able to see the head of the Xie family this time. After thinking about it, it was not so difficult to see the old ancestor in the Xie family in Shendu."

Xie Zhongli smiled and said, "I have been obsessed with cultivation in recent years. The garrison commander is also a cultivator, so he can understand."

Chen Chao looked at Xie Zhongli and said, "I thought the head of the Xie family had already set foot in Fuyun."

This sentence was obviously only half said, but the rest of it was not important to say it or not.

Xie Qing's eyelids trembled. According to Chen Chao's behavior today, he would never give up so easily.

As expected, the next moment, Chen Chao went straight to the point and said, "Xie Zhongxing is dead."

He was just stating the facts, without any other emotions, but Xie Qing felt a great pressure.

Xie Zhongli whispered, "Xie Zhongxing deserves to die."

This sentence seemed to be an explanation, but it was very light.

Chen Chao raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Zhongli, and smiled, "But I didn't let him die now."

"Xie Ting is already dead, so Xie Zhongxing should die too."

Xie Zhongli's words didn't seem to make sense, but the three people here understood.

Chen Chao reached out and knocked on the handle of the chair, didn't say anything, just smiled.

Then the next moment, Xie Zhongli spit out a mouthful of blood for no reason, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Xie Qing was startled, but he wanted to help Xie Zhongli up, but he saw Chen Chao's eyes, which were beautiful, but also very cold.

At this moment, he realized belatedly that the patriarch had not sat down at all after coming under the eaves, but had been standing and talking to Chen Chao.

Because of the angle, the Xie family members outside the courtyard did not see this scene, otherwise they would definitely react violently at this moment.

Chen Chao looked at Xie Zhongli who was sitting on the ground, and said calmly: "They deserve to die, but Xie Ting should not die before I came, and Xie Zhongxing should not die before I saw him."

Xie Zhongli stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "The official power of the garrison commander is indeed very great."

"But the garrison commander seems to have forgotten one thing. No matter what Xie Ting did, this is still the family affair of the Xie family. Even if you want to seek justice, it should be Nandu, the girl. The garrison commander does not seem to be my son-in-law of the Xie family."

Xie Zhongli was very calm. From this perspective, whether Xie Nandu can marry Chen Chao in the end actually depends on the opinion of the patriarch.

After all, marriage is a matter of parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words.

Xie Nandu’s parents have passed away, and Xie Zhongli is the elder with the most say.

As for Chen Chao’s visit to Xie’s this time, after he expressed his determination, Xie Zhongli killed Xie Zhongxing, which was his explanation to Chen Chao.

But he didn’t expect that the other party was not willing to let it go.

Because Xie Qing couldn’t invite him.

Xie Zhongli was a little annoyed, but he still came in the end.

Chen Chao glanced at Xie Zhongli and said calmly: "After Nandu took the sword in Jianqi Mountain, he returned to Bailu once. At that time, she didn’t know much, so she was just a little angry. But I think you knew something at that time, but you didn’t do anything."

That year, Xie Nandu was selected by Shendu Xie’s to go to Shendu, and Bailu Xie’s side naturally cooperated, but when the third old master was doing this, he actually used some means, the purpose was to let Xie Nandu die directly on the road in this test.

The plan at that time was that they would definitely die before Tianqing County.

But in the end, some mistakes were made. Mr. Song was originally Xie Zhongxing's man. He had promised to let Xie Nandu die on the road, but along the way, he gradually developed a lot of appreciation for Xie Nandu. In the end, he even exchanged his life for Xie Nandu's glimmer of hope.

Of course, if there were no accidents, Xie Nandu would still die outside Tianqing County.

Unfortunately, he met Chen Chao in the end.

The reason why Xie Zhongxing wanted to do this was because Xie Nandu's father, the one who had the hope of becoming the next head of the family, had been killed by his son, so he wanted to completely eliminate the trouble.

These two fathers and sons, one killed Xie Nandu's father, and the other wanted to kill Xie Nandu, so Chen Chao did not intend to let them live.

Xie Zhongli smiled, "What? Sixteen is dead. Looking at this generation, only Xie Ting is the most outstanding. He can only be the successor of the family head. Do I want to kill him? Who will inherit the Xie family after that? Will it be handed over to Xie Nandu?"

After a pause, Xie Zhongli took a deep breath, "She is always a woman."

Women are very troublesome. Since ancient times, women have found it difficult to do many things.

When Xie Qing heard this, he was shocked at first, and then he thought about it seriously, and found that it was indeed the same as what the head of the family said. One person died, and then killing another was not a good thing for the family.

Chen Chao looked at Xie Zhongli in front of him, and his face became a little ugly, "Is this what the sage book taught you?"

Xie Zhongli said: "The saint's principles are for people to see, and it is useless to use them to do things."

Hearing this, Xie Qing looked at the head of the family in surprise. He didn't expect the head of the family to say such a thing. After all, Bailu Xie is the representative of scholars.

Chen Chao said: "If no one pursues the matter, this matter will remain like this forever."

Xie Nandu mentioned this matter before. After that, Chen Chao took it to heart and kept looking for someone to investigate. Recently, the results were obtained, but he was not happy. It was extremely difficult to investigate this matter by himself, but as the head of the family, Xie Zhongli But it was very simple. He even knew the answer early, but he didn't take it seriously.

He acted with the words "This is the end of the matter."

Xie Zhongli did not answer Chen Chao's question, but just looked at him, "But the guardian envoy came to investigate and killed Xie Ting, so Xie Zhongxing will also die."

"It's just that I don't understand. I've already done this, why is the Guardian still dissatisfied?"

Xie Zhongli's face was a little pale. His sudden fall just now ruined at least ten years of his practice.

"Because it's not enough."

Chen Chao glanced at Xie Zhongli and said calmly: "I will only give you one hour to find all the relevant people involved in these two incidents and punish them as necessary."

Xie Zhongli frowned and spoke louder, "Do you know how much turmoil this will cause? Even if you don't think about Mr. Xie, don't you think about yourself? If you want to marry Xie Nandu, what will happen to you later? How much resistance and how many people will stop it, have you ever thought about it?”

Chen Chao just said: "It's a very simple truth. You scholars must know it, but you don't pay attention to it. Then there is nothing you can do. Let me, a martial artist, help you point out what is right."

Chen Chao said calmly: "Just one hour. After one hour, if you are not satisfied with me, then I will come in person."

Xie Zhongli looked at Chen Chao and was speechless.

After a moment of silence, the head of the Xie family asked: "Lord Guardian, if it was not Xie Nandu who was the one who suffered this matter, what would you do like this?"

Chen Chao was not in a hurry to speak, he just thought of the little girl from back then, also named Xie, who died in Qingshui Mountain.

He also recalled that year when His Majesty crossed Mobei and went south, he met a woman in Xuanling County. Because of the ten Liang Tongbao, the amount of bloodshed in the officialdom of a new Liuzhou was shocking.

"You seem to have forgotten what I do?"

Chen Chao lifted his robe, revealing the waist badge.

As the guardian of Daliang, he has to take care of everyone's justice.

"To be honest, I only took care of Nandu's affairs once. The rest of the time, I took care of the people's affairs."
