Chapter 977 The Crimes List

Seeing that the young man in front of her was so determined, Lin Mengya showed a trace of appreciation in her eyes.

After looking around coldly, Lin Mengya saw the arrogance and complacency of the people from the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, as well as the pity of the people from the Branch Hall in Yun State.

What disappointed her even more were the members of the Branch Halls, who were still hesitating, or who had remained indifferent since the beginning.

She knew that there were some problems in Sanjue Hall. Moreover, these people had no experience in cooperating to coordinate and fight together before, so it was a big problem to gain the trust of each other.

She had thought that after they went through it together in the future, they might develop a tacit understanding and trust in each other.

But nowadays, each Branch Hall was in charge of its affairs, which was the biggest headache for Lin Mengya.

“I’ve assigned Guo Tiantong to handle this matter. Rest assured, he won’t bend the law for the sake of personal gain. But before that, I have to deal with one thing. Guards, go and call Shi Bupo, Mr. Shi, here.”

Shi Bupo’s name was much more well-known than that of Ren Nanbei. When Shi Bupo first joined Sanjue Hall, he challenged the Childe of Wisdom back then and succeeded in taking the position.

Later, Shi Bupo behaved himself for a period of time. But according to his character, he could not stay in Sanjue Hall peacefully every day. In order to pester Qinghu to teach him the martial arts of killing, Shi Bupo gave the position back to the former Childe of Wisdom.

The former Childe of Wisdom had regarded Shi Bupo as his lifelong idol, ever since he was defeated by Shi Bupo.

Lin Mengya was puzzled about why these smart people were somewhat weird.

Every time the Childe of Sanjue changed, it needed to be announced to notify every Branch Hall.

Moreover, with his eccentric character, Shi Bupo’s name was well-known to everyone in Sanjue Hall.

As soon as Lin Mengya finished speaking, a young man in an indigo gown came in from outside.

The man’s fair and tender face appeared a hint of mockery with a faint smile.

His eyes rolled up slightly as if no one in the world could catch his eye.

With his hands clasped behind his back, the young man slowly walked up to Lin Mengya and knelt heavily at her feet.

“Hall Master, I, Shi Bupo, pay my respects to you, the wise, powerful, intelligent, and peerless beautiful Master of the Sanjue Hall headquarters.”

After that, he kowtowed heavily.

Lin Mengya pressed the center between her eyebrows, which was slightly twitching. She wondered, “Damn, how could he ruin a solemn occasion like this?”

“Please get up, Mr. Shi. You don’t have to be so courteous.”

Lin Mengya forced herself to put on a serious look, not wanting to make the occasion more ridiculous.

A hint of threat obviously appeared in Lin Mengya’s eyes. As long as Shi Bupo made a fool of himself again, she would teach him a big lesson.

Shi Bupo was so quick-witted that he naturally understood Lin Mengya’s intention.

So Shi Bupo got up in an extremely humble manner and then stood in front of Lin Mengya like a well-behaved follower of hers. It looked like he was not the arrogant guy a moment ago.

“Mr. Shi, you said that you had something important to report yesterday, didn’t you? I’d like to hear what you’re going to say.”

Lin Mengya managed to get down to the business and said with a serious look.

Shi Bupo didn’t dare to joke anymore. He immediately took out a small notebook with a gray cover from his pocket.

“Hall Master, as per your command, I secretly investigated the situation of various Branch Halls. In regards to the Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, Ren Nanbei, on July 3rd, he indulged his subordinate Li Ping to cripple an innocent civilian on the street. On July 25th, he conspired with the accountant, Yu Sanqiao, to embezzle 750 taels of silver that was supposed to be handed over to the headquarters, and hid the tales in a meditation room of Liangshan Temple in Qing Prefecture. In August…”

Next, he pointed out a crime in detail committed by Ren Nanbei almost in every sentence, including the specific time, the specific place where he hid the things, and the person who handled it.

The more Ren Nanbei heard, the more frightened he became, because all of these were true.

Ren Nanbei’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. He did not expect that his perfect plan would be exposed in public.

Lin Mengya just cast an indifferent glance at Ren Nanbei and motioned for Shi Bupo to continue reading.

“In regards to the Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Jing Prefecture, Jin Rubing, he forced the female civilians to be with him, and mutilated the members…”

It was another uncountable number of crimes. Even Jin Rubing, who was shrewd and experienced, felt a chill in his heart.

Just like Ren Nanbei, Jin Rubing thought that he had done some things in an extremely secretive manner so that no one else would have known about it except himself in his lifetime.

They had never expected that all their secrets had become a deadly threat in Lin Mengya’s eyes.

No one knew how many secrets were recorded in the small notebook by Shi Bupo.

Shi Bupo read one page after another, and as he flipped through each page, the truths that were concealed in the darkness would gradually be revealed.

“This morning, Wang Dazhuang, a member of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, deliberately provoked and badly injured Luan Ge, a member of the Branch Hall in Yun State. Baisu stopped Wang Dazhuang and cut off his left foot. The Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, Ren Nanbei, insulted the Sanjue Hall first and then suspected the Enforcement Team. Hall Master, please make your decision.”

Finally, Shi Bupo finished reading what recorded in his small notebook. After breathing a sigh of relief, he stood respectfully behind Lin Mengya.

“All of you, have you heard him clearly?”

The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded.

Among the crowd of people from the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture and Jing Prefecture, those who knew these things all revealed shocked expressions.

However, those who didn’t know the truth looked embarrassed.

Not all of them were evildoers. Instead, apart from a small number of their trusted subordinates, most of the members who were brought here this time were newcomers. Just in case, they had not chosen any side to stand on yet.

Instantly, the situation became clear. Even though the isolated were few, it was clear enough for everyone to tell.

“Hall Master, well… This is…”

Ren Nanbei, who had always been eloquent, had no time to wipe away the cold sweat on his face. When he was about to refute, he met Lin Mengya’s eyes, and his heart skipped a beat in fright.

It was the gaze one would have when looking at the dead.

Once upon a time, when Ren Nanbei looked at those people whose status and abilities were far inferior to his, he was ruthless and cold like this, too.

It was because he could decide the life and death of those people at will, and he even felt that he could be comparable to the Yama of Hell.

Today, however, it was finally his turn to experience such a fright.

“Mr. Ren, do you want to say that I have no evidence and how to be sure that you did all these crimes? No hurry. Xu Shan, bring all the stuff here.”

...

Xu Shan immediately walked to the front of everyone with a heavy wooden box on his shoulder.

The wooden box was put heavily to the ground, stirring up a wave of dust.

After that, Xu Shan opened the box with his large hand. Ren Nanbei just took a look at it, and his face instantly turned pale.

“Mr. Ren, I’m sure you are very familiar with this stuff. I guess that you are also curious about why your account book came into my hands. You personally wrote this account book and sealed it in wax. To prevent it from being stolen, you made the code in person and hid it in your a-dozen-year secret lover’s place. Oh, is it an imitated one? No, that’s close to impossible. To prevent others from imitating it, you especially used five various writing methods, which echo the code you made. Therefore, apart from yourself, no one else in this world can imitate this account book. Should I praise you for your thorough consideration, or for your multi-talented skills?”

Lin Mengya’s tone was soft. It looked like she was joking, but her undisguised killing intent had scared Ren Nanbei so much that his legs went limp.

Ren Nanbei snorted coldly, “Hall Master, since you say so, I won’t consider our friendship anymore! That money is what the members of our Branch Hall deserve to have. Why should I give them to the headquarters for nothing?”

“How dare he continue pestering me up to this moment?”

Lin Mengya snorted coldly and cast a glance at Ren Nanbei.

“Is that so? But why did I hear that a whole wall of your outer courtyard was built by spending the money of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture? You deducted the money from your subordinate, which almost resulted in his old mother dying of hunger. Why didn’t you, the Deputy Hall Master, come out to help her at that time?”

Seeing that Lin Mengya had exposed his last trace of concealment, Ren Nanbei gritted his teeth with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

Ren Nanbei said to himself, “If you made things difficult for me, then no one would have an easy time!”

...

Ren Nanbei was evil and bold. After secretly gathering his inner energy and aiming at Lin Mengya’s position, his feet suddenly hit the ground, and his body rushed toward Lin Mengya at lightning speed.

When Ren Nanbei was taking action, Jin Rubing and another Deputy Hall Master who had caused trouble with them also joined the battle.

Lin Mengya was the only target they aimed for. As long as they had Lin Mengya under their control, they would have a chance to escape.

They did not care about the foundations they had made. Where there was life, there was hope.

With their status and abilities in the underworld, they could start over in another place and avoid being bullied by Lin Mengya.

It happened too suddenly, and it was too late for everyone to rescue Lin Mengya.

However, to their surprise, Lin Mengya, the woman who should have been in a panic, curved her lips into a ruthless smile.

Ren Nanbei and the other two realized something was wrong. Just then, the true qi in their bodies was completely dispersed in an instant.

A sharp pain shook their hearts and lungs from the deepest part of their bodies.

With a “plop”, the three of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Meanwhile, each of them spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood in dark red.

“What makes you so bold to get close to our Hall Master? You must be tired of living!”

Shi Bupo, who was by Lin Mengya’s side, looked at the three guys, who were anxious to court death, and sneered.

Lin Mengya did not turn around until then. She looked down at the three half-dead guys.

“Do you know why I have never taken you seriously?”

She would not treat them as her enemies since they even could not decide whether to live or die by themselves.

Ren Nanbei tried hard to raise his head. Finally, he could clearly see what a vicious and merciless spirit was hidden inside the beautiful lady.

It turned out that they were under her control firmly from the very beginning. There was no way for them to escape.

Unfortunately, they knew nothing about it.
