The middle-aged man let out a carefree laugh, his face full of mockery. “I hope Pavilion Master Hua can still maintain such righteousness after seeing the real evidence.” The man in the green shirt turned around, loudly addressing the villagers below the steps, “Bring up the body of Xu Lao’er, as well as his widow and child.”

A path wide enough for several people was cleared among the angry crowd. In the distance, two burly men carrying a plank appeared. On the plank was a mummy.

A woman in her prime had swollen, tear-stained eyes. Dressed in a gray mourning gown, she accompanied the two men lifting the plank, a sob constantly escaping her lips. With one hand, she led a child about five or six years old.

“The evidence is here. May they approach the Pavilion?” The man in the green shirt asked Hua Ji.

As soon as Hua Ji saw the corpse, he thought, ‘This is bad.’

He recognized Xu Lao’er. As Pavilion Master of the Star Pavilion, he had kept records of all the warriors who came to the pavilion in the last six months. With his exceptional memory, he remembered all the warriors who had ever worked in the Star Pavilion.

The fact that a warrior who had worked only yesterday was dead today, naturally raised suspicions about the Star Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master, allow them to approach.” Hua Ji said to Ying Hongyuan. Although he was enraged, he knew that no one would believe him if he refuted now. His only hope was to find mistakes in their actions that could undermine their claims.

On hearing this, Ying Hongyuan gave way. He never feared battles, but left this talking segment to those who were better at it.

The two burly men gently placed the plank in front of the pavilion. After showing respect to the men, the woman who turned her head to look at Hua Ji, her eyes full of hatred, her voice shaky with anger, “Give me my husband’s life back.”
