Chapter 1023: The Anti-Traitor Conference (Part )

"Master Qingfeng, please accept my condolences! Madam Luo, please accept my condolences!"

Faced with the old man's tears, everyone was cheered up, bowed in return and shouted "Mercy!".

"As early as the day of Tian Jin's funeral, I swore in public that I would kill the traitor Liu Xunyi at all costs and use his head to pay tribute to Tian Jin's spirit in heaven. Regardless of public or private, emotional or rational, I will avenge Tian Jin and will do so until my death."

As if talking about something sad, Qingfeng beat his chest and stamped his feet, pretending to be old and vicissitudes of life. He looked around tremblingly, and repeated his promise that day with righteous indignation: "My daughter said that whoever can hand over Liu Xunyi to the Xianwang Mansion, whether dead or alive, will be rewarded with a million yuan, a thousand acres of land, and can choose any three martial arts secrets from the Xianwang Mansion. At the same time, I made two major promises as the leader of the martial arts world. First, whoever captures and kills the traitor Liu Xunyi will be qualified to become the deputy leader of the Central Plains martial arts world. Second, I have sworn an oath with the heroes of the world that whoever captures and kills the traitor Liu Xunyi will be regarded as the greatest benefactor of the Central Plains martial arts world, and can ask the heroes of the world to do something for him. As long as it does not violate the moral principles of the martial arts world, no one... can refuse."

As soon as Qingfeng said this, everyone started to talk and chat among themselves. Suddenly, the quiet scene gradually became lively.

"Today is the 'Eradication of Traitors' Conference. It is not only the date of Liu Xunyi's death, but also the day for me to fulfill my promise."

Having said this, Qingfeng slowly turned his head, and his old eyes looked at Xie Xuan, who was in deep thought, with deep meaning, and he said calmly: "I wonder if it was God's will, the person who captured Liu Xunyi in Luzhou Inn... was Tian Jin's best friend and brother, the current owner of Xianwang Mansion, Xie Xuan. However, you may not know that the reason why Lord Xie was able to find Liu Xunyi's whereabouts in time was all thanks to the great help of the Gan family in Luzhou. Therefore, the head of the Gan family, Gan Yonglin... also made an indispensable contribution. It's a pity that on the night when Liu Xunyi was captured, Mr. Gan was sought revenge by his followers. A fire turned the Gan Mansion into ashes, and all the men, women, old and young in the Gan family were buried in the sea of ​​fire, without exception."

"This……"

Qingfeng's words caused an uproar.

"After my investigation, I found out that the murderer who slaughtered the Gan family was the one who helped Liu Xunyi escape from desperate situations again and again... the 'evil woman' Xunzhen." Qingfeng's tone sank and he spoke bluntly, "This woman... is not from the Central Plains, but she has repeatedly stirred up trouble in the Central Plains martial arts world. My daughter told me that Tian Jin was also bewitched by this woman before he died, and eventually he was killed. As the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' Liu Xunyi was ungrateful and sold out his master for fame. It is conceivable that Xunzhen, who colluded with him, is definitely not a good man. This woman is vicious and cruel, and we can see a glimpse of this from her bloodbath of the Gan family. I heard that... the sudden fire in Jinjianwu seemed to be related to this woman. She is really sinful."

"hiss!"

In just a few words, Qingfeng changed the topic from "rewarding according to merit" to "exposing the crime and punishing it", and turned the target from Liu Xunyi to Xunzhen.

He first praised Xie Xuan's loyalty and bravery, then lamented the miserable fate of the Gan family in Luzhou, and finally dragged Jinjianwu, who stayed out of the matter, into the water... He seemed to be confusing positions and making innuendos, leaving those who did not know the truth confused and even a little bewildered.

In fact, Qingfeng’s move is intended to “strike first”.

He knew that Xunzhen and Xie Xuan were in cahoots and were about to attack him, so he took the initiative to point out that it was not his fault that Liu Xunyi was captured, but the work of Xie Xuan and Gan Yonglin.

In this way, it can not only demonstrate the "fairness and strictness" and "extraordinary temperament" of the leader of the martial arts world, but also tie Xie Xuan and the "tragic death" of the Gan family firmly together, creating invisible pressure for Xie Xuan.

Once he turned against his own side, he would be betraying the Luzhou Gan family who had helped him. This would mean he would be ungrateful and repaying kindness with hatred. In this way, Xie Xuan's impression and status in the hearts of the world's heroes would plummet. At that time, his exposure of Qingfeng's ugly face would become a lie to confuse the public and a slander by a villain. His credibility... would naturally be greatly reduced.

Qingfeng used the tragic experiences of the Gan family in Luzhou and Jinjianwu to criticize Xunzhen's "blood debts". At the same time, he used the saying "birds of a feather flock together" to classify Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen as lewd friends and a group of villains.

Qingfeng's "righteous" speech seemed to be fearless and openly clamoring for Xunzhen and the young Qin Wang behind him for the injured Jinjianwu and Gan family. In fact, he was taking the lead in "conscience" and "morality", and was the first to label Liu Xunyi, Xunzhen and those who might have colluded with them as "scumbags" and "rabble".

Although Qingfeng does not want to break up with the Young King of Qin, at this point his conflicts with Xunzhen and Liu Xunyi have reached a point of complete opposition that is irreconcilable, and he is faced with the only choice of "either you die or I die".

Therefore, Qingfeng could no longer care about many things and could only make a desperate attempt. He used his "righteous words" to win over Qin Wei and the Song Dynasty court, and bribed the heroes in the martial arts world, making them convinced of his impartiality and righteousness.

Qingfeng deliberately dragged Jin Jianwu into the water so that if he was retaliated by King Shao Qin, Jin Fu Yu would share the same hatred with him.

After all, Qingfeng would never dare to underestimate Jinjianwu's strength and its appeal in the Central Plains martial arts world.

Jin Fu Yu was well aware of Qing Feng's wishful thinking.

However, due to the current occasion and his own status, Jin Fuyu would not express his dissatisfaction in public even if he was dissatisfied.

He knew very well that the real meaning of this "Anti-Traitor Conference" was not "killing people to sacrifice to heaven", but a life-and-death contest between the Qingfeng faction and the Liu Xunyi faction.

At the moment, even if Qingfeng's words were magnificent and the Jianghu heroes were excited, they were just a "little tune" before the show started. The real "big show" had not yet begun, and Jin Fuyu would not foolishly stand out and steal Qingfeng's "role" at this critical moment.

In other words, Jin Fuyu only wanted to watch the fun and didn't want to wade into the muddy water. Seeing that Jin Fuyu turned a blind eye to his "active solicitation" and turned a deaf ear to it, and still sat there leisurely and smiled without saying a word, Qingfeng couldn't help but blush, and then quickly changed the subject: "Although the evil woman Xunzhen is full of evil, as far as today's incident is concerned, the culprit is still the traitor Liu Xunyi."

"Leader Qingfeng, there is no need to say more. When Leader Luo was alive, he was very kind to Liu Xunyi, but he was brutally killed by this guy. Such an ungrateful person, a person with a snake heart and a Buddha mouth, is simply the number one scum in the Central Plains martial arts world. My suggestion is that we must not let this peerless traitor die too easily. First, destroy his martial arts, cut off his tendons and veins, then smash all his bones, cut off his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and tongue, and finally chop off his limbs, and hang the remains of his body high under the glazed archway, leaving him to fend for himself and die in pain."

"Not only that! After death, the body will be exposed for 49 days to serve as a warning to others!"

"Brother, this method is inappropriate. If the corpse is left exposed for many days, wouldn't it stink and attract a large number of flies for nothing? Haha..."

"What crime has the fly committed? How can it be lumped together with a heartless beast like Liu Xunyi? In my opinion, instead of hanging him up to attract flies, it is better to burn him to ashes and then scatter his ashes inside and outside the city gates, so that he will be trampled by thousands of people day and night."

"Not good! Not good! I heard that when Lord Luo was alive, he had doubts about Liu Xunyi, so he ordered people to set up a wok in the Xianwang Mansion, intending to fry him until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I think this method is a great way to deal with traitors. Now Lord Luo died unjustly, which can be said to be 'unfulfilled ambitions'. Why don't we help Lord Luo fulfill his last wish and throw Liu Xunyi into the wok?"

……

Finally, someone couldn't hold back his excitement and began to unscrupulously suggest ways to kill Liu Xunyi.

In the bustling crowd, a word was heard here and there. Gradually, more and more people joined the discussion. They became more and more excited, more cruel, and more outrageous as they talked. They wished they could use all the extreme tortures from ancient times to the present on Liu Xunyi.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a drum breaks, everyone beats it. The evil of human nature is fully demonstrated in today's "Anti-Traitor Conference".

"Everyone, please be patient! Everyone, please be patient!"

Although Qingfeng was obviously very happy in his heart, he pretended to be decent on the surface. He waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and glared at Liu Xunyi, who was tied to the pillar and looked listless and lifeless, and said righteously: "I deeply agree with your hatred of evil. But after all, we are not evil thieves and vicious women like Liu Xunyi and Xunzhen. Righteous people kill people but do not humiliate them, and they disdain to torture people with harsh torture. Letting him pay with his life is the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable. The traitor Liu Xunyi sneaked into the virtuous king's He was a traitor in the government, and conspired with Zhao Yuan to murder Luo Zongzhu first. He secretly communicated with the Mongols and looted the granaries of the three governments in Xingyuan later. He is a masked man with a ruthless heart, and extremely vicious. He is not only a scum of the Central Plains martial arts world, but also a public enemy of the Han people. Today, he will be identified in front of the heroes of the world, and then we will execute him on the spot. We will seek justice for Luo Zongzhu who was murdered, for the innocent people of the three governments who died unjustly, for the noble Central Plains martial arts world, and for the loyal descendants of Yan and Huang. We will avenge the shame of the past! We will vent our hatred!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

In the midst of Qingfeng's highly inflammatory speech, tens of thousands of people in the society were all glaring with anger and gnashing their teeth.

For a moment, shouts filled with shame, indignation and anger from people from all directions shook the earth and resounded through the sky.

The "shouts" that came one after another were like an overwhelming force, sweeping away the heavens and earth, drowning out all the voices that were favorable to Liu Xunyi.

"Looking for clothes..."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhirou and Teng Sanshi were heartbroken and filled with grief and anger. Xie Xuan, Qin Ku, Xue Huzi and others were filled with anger and rage.

At this moment, they were filled with anger and anger, and their blood was boiling. They wanted to take action immediately to tear Qingfeng, who was pretending to be arrogant and talking nonsense, into pieces and grind his bones to dust.

However, facing the mockery from hundreds of people and the glare from thousands of eyes, Liu Xunyi, who was at the center of the vortex, was not angry, because all his emotions had been completely replaced by an unprecedented feeling of chill and grievance.

Now, he can only feel loneliness, powerlessness, sadness, depression, and despair...

He raised his head with difficulty and looked around silently. He didn't know whether it was because his soul was incomparably shocked or because his wound caused him excruciating pain. In short, at this moment, every inch of Liu Xunyi's muscles were shaking violently. Unconsciously, two lines of blood and tears filled with humiliation... gradually overflowed from his eyes and flowed down his dirty cheeks.

"Liu Xunyi, is this the 'Han world' that you are so loyal to and swore to protect? You risked your life for them, but in the end... not only did you not get praise, respect, or even understanding or sympathy, but you were instead subjected to endless slander and abuse like today. You treated them as your own flesh and blood, but they... treated you as a shameless traitor with evil intentions. All the suffering you have experienced is a hell on earth that these people dare not even think about, but... is it really worth it? Liu Xunyi, I hope you will always remember this moment, always cherish yourself, and never... make a fool of yourself again."

At the end of the street, in a crowded teahouse, Xunzhen, who was dressed as a man, was protected by Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, Xun Budao and others. She stood quietly in front of the fence, silently watching Liu Xunyi who was being criticized and cursed by thousands of people.

Her thoughts were surging and she was overwhelmed with emotions. She pursed her red lips tightly and before she knew it...she was in tears.
