In the government office.
Looking at her sister who seemed to have suffered great injustice, Luo Yao felt a headache:
“Why did you come out?”
“I… um…”
“Did your parents know?”
“They… of course they knew.”
Luo Yao stammered.
Luo Yu frowned:
“Then I will write a letter to Father and Mother to ask what happened.”
“Wu wu wu, I almost died, and you still scold me! I don’t want to live anymore. I should have let someone beat me to d*ath! Brother, you’re also a big bully!”
Luo Yao cried even louder, dirty and disheveled, looking pitiful.
Luo Yu’s mouth twitched.
He clearly saw that his sister was crying like pear blossoms with rain, while secretly peeking through a small gap in her fingers to see if he felt any pity.
He was familiar with his sister’s tricks.
But the people from the Burning Jade Forest around him urged:
“Chief, Sister Luo has already realized her mistake, so don’t hold it against her.”
“Anyone who dares to touch our people must pay the price, otherwise they’ll think we’re all Confucian gentlemen without any spirit!”
“Sister, don’t be afraid. Your brother has read the classics thoroughly and will reason with those who bullied you.”
A fellow disciple took out a thick book, “The Sayings of the Sages.”
Not only was the book thick, but it was also embedded with sharp iron corners.
Most disciples from the Burning Jade Forest came from powerful families. Although they practiced martial arts, they did not call themselves warriors, thinking it was vulgar.
They didn’t say they were fighting; they would say they were reasoning.
Usually, the classics could make others submit.
Luo Yu: “…”
Are you guys trying to make the city more chaotic?
“Master is here to see you.”
After the announcement, Master Cui was invited in.
“It was my neglect that Miss Luo suffered injustice.”
“Have you seen what the villain looks like?”
Upon learning that a disciple from the Burning Jade Forest nearly died, he was greatly shocked and very angry, expressing deep apologies.
“It’s Night Ghost Liu Heng,” said Luo Yao.
Everyone looked cold when they heard this name.
No wonder.
Night Ghosts have been doing evil deeds, and the Burning Jade Forest has wiped them out, so it seems they are seeking revenge.
“Liu Heng…”
Master Cui glanced at the gentleman’s brush in Luo Yao’s hand, his eyes flickering slightly:
“I’ve heard of this villain.”
“This person is strange and usually only appears at night.”
“I will send people to investigate…”
“There’s no need for that.”
Luo Yao shook her head:
“He has already been killed.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd froze, wondering why she had cried so loudly just now.
But then they thought:
If Night Ghost Liu Heng hadn’t died, the sister wouldn’t have returned.
Thinking this, they felt a chill in their hearts. Little sister was usually pampered by Master Lin, as fragile as a flower. If anything happened, Master Lin would go crazy.
Master Cui raised an eyebrow:
“Who killed Liu Heng?”
Luo Yao recalled and said:
“Do you know about the Hammer King of the Northwest?”
What?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They had only heard of boxing saints, sword immortals, and spear gods. Who would call themselves Hammer King?
It doesn’t sound very refined.
“I haven’t heard of it either,” Luo Yu thought for a moment and shook his head.
“What about Hardbone Gang?”
Everyone: “…”
What kind of genius sect would take such a ghostly name? It sounds like a made-up story.
It can be confirmed that the other party did not reveal their true identity.

“What are his characteristics?”
Master Cui pondered and asked.
“He wears a green dragon mask, and his voice is very pleasant (bubble sound).”
“And when he swings the hammer, he’s especially handsome. He’s like a firefly in the dark, standing there so distinctively, so outstanding…”
Luo Yao said, her eyes sparkling.
Wait, how is a hammer handsome? Handsome hammer indeed!
The senior brothers felt a bit jealous.
Master Cui frowned, then relaxed:
“If Miss Luo wants to thank the savior, this master will instruct someone to help you.”
“Good, good,” Luo Yao nodded.
“Don’t run around lately. Since the master has agreed, you shouldn’t go out yourself.”
Luo Yu warned his sister and turned to the master:
“Master, after reviewing recent documents, I found that children often disappear in the city.”
“Since the opening of the Wu Jian trial, the number has increased day by day. You should pay attention to this matter.”
“I will look into it.”
Master Cui paused at the door, silent for a moment facing away from everyone:
“Thank you for worrying about this matter.”
…
In the dark room.
Master Cui examined the booklet, thinking deeply about the names of the Three Evils of Huai Mountain.
Laughing Amitabha mentioned that these three were — Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard.
Dragon Head, skilled with hammers.
He should be the eldest of the Three Evils of Huai Mountain — Dragon Evil.
He actually killed Xuan Dan Realm’s Liu Heng?
This was something he hadn’t expected.
And…
“Liu Heng… Died well! Died well!”
“For a pen, he almost ruined me for life!”
Master Cui gritted his teeth.
Forget about the other disciples of the Burning Jade Forest, he could do whatever he wanted in retaliation. But it was Luo Yao, the most beloved daughter of the Burning Jade Forest’s master.
Master Luo Yushu, the favorite disciple of Great Scholar Zhang Shou, and a close friend of the current emperor. If he wasn’t averse to politics, he would have been a high-ranking official by now.
If Luo Yao really died and the gentleman’s brush fell into his hands…
Just thinking about it made him break out in a cold sweat.
“Judge.”
A subordinate appeared.
“Has Liu Heng’s body been found?”
“It has been found, reduced to ashes, with nothing left on him, very clean.”
The subordinate replied.
“Good, this Dragon Evil is quite thorough.”
Master Cui sighed in relief, nodding in praise.
You see, when doing things, he remained calm and knew how to hide his identity.
Decisive in action, he cleaned up the scene meticulously after killing, leaving no trace behind.
Not greedy, even though the goal was within reach, he still left Luo Yao alone.
Highly skilled, meticulous, knowing when to advance or retreat.
A born assassin!
The only flaw… might be his choice of weapon.
Who uses a hammer as an assassin?
“Send a message to Laughing Amitabha, asking him to pay some attention to the Three Evils of Huai Mountain.”
“Yes!”
“Has Jiang Chulong been found?”
“Sir Judge, she has been found, but Mei Yun is still missing…”
“No matter, I’ll see how long she can hide!”
After giving instructions to the subordinate, Master Cui flipped through the register.
Many names had disappeared.
Strange.
Why did so many people disappear so quickly in this Wu Jian trial?
If this continues, the trial might end soon…
