Pork Butcher - C98

In the private hospital, after Sun Yong and I had explained it to him, he finally believed us and allowed us to atone for our sins. Then, we hinted that he had to let the effects of the battle, such as the people who called him over to support us, drop.

As he had calmed himself down, his mind had already recovered its former shrewdness, so he naturally knew what to do. Thus, he said a lot of words to those people, all of them were extremely mysterious chants, which probably meant that his Junior Brother Chan Master Liao Ran had cultivated to an extremely profound level, and was undergoing tribulation right now, so he accidentally killed a few Vajra Temple disciples. They would definitely take care of this matter impartially, but because it involved a few Chan Master Liao Ran’s private matters, so they had to be very careful, and Chan Master Liao Ran’s matter involved the cause and effect, which was also related to them.

“Alright, now can you tell me your methods?” After all the unrelated people had left, he sat in front of us and spoke indifferently. Beside him were two guards, each standing on his left and right.

“I don’t know what kind of solution the Grand Master wants,” I replied immediately. We don’t have a complete plan for how to deal with the current crisis, but we’ve already begun to think about it.

“Which method? You guys have a lot of ways to deal with it.” Ye Zichen asked in surprise, but his heart was sinking. There were so many methods, how could he feel like he had fallen into a trap?

“Of course, when a person is forced into a corner, he would always come up with various methods, no? For example, regarding the death of a Vajra Temple disciple, given your connections, wouldn’t you be able to suppress it?” I immediately said.

There were many masters inside the thousand year ancient Vajra Temple, so naturally, they knew a lot of nobles. And those few monks did not die on the main road, with their power, they could naturally suppress them, but they would never do that.

“You think too lightly, the police have an unwritten rule. It’s common throughout the country, which is that the murder case is certain to be solved, and all of a sudden, four people died. That’s a huge crime that will shock the entire country, whoever can suppress it, even if they can, how are their family members going to explain it?”

It was the same for external and internal affairs. For internal affairs, they did not explain to the families of the monks what happened to Vajra Temple, but for external affairs, their pressure was great, and in every aspect, they had to make sure that they did not leak out this information, or else it would be a greater disaster.

The most important thing was, this matter, the two people in front of him had to take half of the responsibility, why should his Vajra Temple take the responsibility?

Once this plan failed, I was already prepared, so I immediately said, “Since we can’t suppress it, then let’s enlarge the scale. Tell me all about Chan Master Liao Ran’s problem, at that time, your esteemed temple definitely won’t watch as Chan Master Liao Ran is taken away by the police, right? It should be with that identity.”

We do not know the specifics of that identity, but from the actions of the two Spirit Cultivators, we can know a bit about the control and support the nation has over the power of the religions.

For people like them, the policy was supportive. For people like them, who received financial aid from various resources, and even those who built temples and Taoist temples, these were all benefits they enjoyed, but they still had to pay a little bit of duty. For example, if there were things that ordinary people could not handle, then those sects who got the money would help them.

For example, the last time Qian Yilin’s matter was related to the corpse rearing area, and ordinary people could not handle it. Hence, they had to request for help from the Quanzhen Religion, so that Yan Lin and the others could investigate about it.

Just like when Yan Lin wanted to capture Qian Yilin, not only did he get the police to order a bounty from the inner parts of the sect, he also got them to order a bounty through their authority, so we guessed that if the matter was out of the ordinary, the sect had the authority to handle it on their own, but the police could only do so as support, so if the matter was made public and it was handed over to the Vajra Temple, then the disciples would no longer be responsible, but the real culprits, the Pig Slaughtering Knife would be responsible.

It felt incredible, but it was something that could be implemented.

“If this were to be spread out, where would my Vajra Temple face when my master’s body is possessed by a demon?” His eyes flickered, and he already had a plan in his heart. This kind of action would be in the best interests of their Vajra Temple, but it was still not enough.

F * ck, you still want to care about face? I scolded in my heart, but I couldn’t show it on the surface, because honestly speaking, the Vajra Temple has met with an unexpected calamity, obviously, it was us who were implicated. Before they even settle our responsibilities, we had to make them give up on this idea, otherwise, they would be pushed out as cannon fodder sooner or later.

“Master, I don’t know if you’ve heard of the incident half a month ago. In the northern Xinyang, there was an evil cultivator who used a person to refine medicine and was then killed?” I said as I gritted my teeth.

“I’ve heard of it, but wasn’t it handled by people from Quanzhen Religion?” Yun Che replied. How could he not know that within the righteous sects and clans of the world, there was a wanted man?

“Unsatisfied Master, we had participated in that matter as well. An evil cultivator called Qian Yilin had a disciple called Wen Liangcheng, he was caught by our leader Yan Lin who was in charge of this case, and in order to force him to reveal himself, we tortured him, but in the end, we remembered that he had not made a big mistake, so we let him go, but we did not expect him to come take revenge on us because of the hatred in his heart due to the torture, and coincidentally, he failed to exorcise us, but due to the Master’s trespassing, he ended, controlling the body of the Chan Master Liao Ran, causing him to die a miserable death.”

However, as soon as he said this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. It wasn’t because of this ruthless scheme, but rather that they were going to viciously murder another innocent person.

“Zhou Yang, what you are doing …” Even Sun Yong couldn’t help but say to me in a low voice, whether or not this matter would work out again, it’s too vicious. That Wen Liangcheng was beaten up half to death by Yan Lin last time, and I don’t even know if his injuries have recovered.

He felt even more cautious as he looked at the two people in front of him. A trap set up without a word was indeed frightening in such a way, and thinking back to how their Vajra Temple had probably been implicated like this as well, he felt even more conflicted.

“I’ll think about it freely, but don’t think about not being able to take responsibility for it. So from now on, you are not allowed to leave, and you don’t want to make calls as you please, okay?” He took a deep breath and did not immediately agree. Instead, he decided to tell this to his lord.

“He’s been placed under house arrest?” They didn’t have any special feelings towards being placed under house arrest, because this is already very forgiving, alright? If it wasn’t for the deaths of the few monks who affected their energy, I think they would have started to clear us of our responsibilities. This is much more severe than being placed under house arrest.

I felt that I didn’t have the time or energy to look at us, because he still had too many things he hadn’t done yet, such as withdrawing the corpses of the few dead monks, reporting to the Vajra Temple, and dealing with all kinds of possible situations.

“Zhou Yang, that plan of yours was not good. It was not good, to innocently frame others, it was a little crazy,” Sun Yi suddenly said to me.

Sun Yi’s words made me freeze for a moment. I looked at Sun Yong and the others, and their expressions were all the same as they looked at me with wary and terrifying eyes, as if I was a devil that was killing people without blinking an eye.

Their expressions made me feel a little cold. Why would I do this, say that I have no shame, I can definitely escape from this, turn around and leave with me, and nothing will happen to me. But, why would I suffer like this, it’s all for the sake of the Uncle, for the sake of Sun Family.

If we do not divert the attention of the Vajra Temple away, they will come to clear us of our responsibilities. At that time, how can the Uncle rest in peace? Furthermore, if we do not pull Vajra Temple down, how can we deal with him with the Pig Slaughtering Knife? If not, what can we do with Sun Family?

“Sun Yong, don’t you think so as well?” I said to Sun Yong. I might not care about others, but if Sun Yong thinks so, then I would be too troubled.

Fortunately, Sun Yong did not nod his head and said, “Your goal is too obvious, and now you’re already on guard against us. Furthermore, that Wen Liancheng is not a good person, right?”

Sun Yong’s words made me feel a little better, but he was only reminding me that I was a little anxious, pulling Vajra Temple into the water should have been done soundlessly, but I couldn’t do it with such a clear goal, this move was too unconscious. No wonder I couldn’t even sleep, and didn’t dare to agree.

“Then what do we do now? Without a name to cover up our murder case, once the police intervene, there’s a possibility that Vajra Temple will not interfere in order to avoid suspicion. Then, my objective would be for nothing, and it’s very possible that they would also want to investigate our crimes.”

“Right now, the only way is for us to become grasshoppers on the same line as Vajra Temple, that way they won’t abandon us and chase us down. Thus, they will reveal more about the Pig Slaughtering Knife, making them aware of the threat of Pig Slaughtering Knife,” Sun Yong said.

This was not a bad idea. He realized that he was not paying attention to the threat of the Pig Slaughtering Knife at all. All his attention was on the few monks who had died, so it was time to remind him.

So we said to the monk who guarded us, “Let us see.”

However, before the monk could report this, they were caught by the military police. The military police officer was completely defeated.

Sun Yong and I looked at each other. What the hell was going on?
