Fan Shouwang looked at Liu Zhengfeng proudly and asked, "Liu Zhengfeng, Captain Liu, you should be clear about the current situation. What do you think we should do?"
Liu Zhengfeng looked hesitant. He looked at Fan Shouwang and Chen Pingan and said awkwardly, "I think we should wait for the Minister of War and Minister of Revenue to make the decision. I don't dare to overstep my authority."
In fact, this was within the scope of his responsibility.
However, he didn't want to offend either side, so he wanted to distance himself.
Chen Pingan said angrily, "Liu Zhengfeng, someone like you doesn't deserve to be an official."
The captain of the flying ship was also a minor official, but his rank was very low. He was only a ninth-grade sesame official.
As the captain, he should uphold justice and maintain order on the flying ship.
However, his cowardice was a disgrace to his status.
Fan Shouwang was very proud. Liu Zhengfeng hadn't joined any side, which was very beneficial to him. Seeing Chen Pingan dissing Liu Zhengfeng, he was immediately unhappy and shouted, "Chen Pingan, he's giving you face, but I'm not giving you face. He's the captain, and whether he can be the captain or not is not up to you."
Hearing this, Chen Pingan couldn't bear it anymore.
He looked at Xiao Yang and said calmly, "Alchemist Xiao, do as you wish. I'll bear any responsibility with you."
Xiao Yang blinked and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Very good."
Then, his gaze fell on Fan Tianlei and announced, "Fan Tianlei, as the steward of the flying ship, not only did you not do your duty faithfully, you even helped the evildoer. You deserve to be killed."
Then, he raised his hand and waved casually. An unstoppable force of cultivation swept towards Fan Tianlei.
Fan Tianlei wanted to laugh and ridicule Xiao Yang because he looked down on Xiao Yang. However, before he could laugh, he said halfway, "Trash like you, if it wasn't for Chen Pingan protecting you, you would've been dead. You dare to touch me, you …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stuck.
Then, his eyes widened in an instant. His eyes were filled with infinite horror. A strong sense of death instantly surged from his heart, causing him to turn pale with fright. He couldn't believe that Xiao Yang's cultivation was so high.
He didn't have the time to regret or feel vexed before his entire body exploded into a bloody mist.
Ah.
Whoosh.
Many of the onlookers screamed and went into an uproar.
The scene was noisy and chaotic.
It turned out that Xiao Yang was the main character, and Chen Pingan and Fan Shouwang were just supporting characters.
Killing without a word of disagreement. Killing without any hesitation.
Many people looked deeply at Xiao Yang, as if they wanted to imprint Xiao Yang's appearance in their minds.
He couldn't afford to offend such a ruthless person.
Fan Shouwang was startled, and so was Captain Liu Zhengfeng. No matter what, Fan Tianlei was the manager of the airship and someone with status. His status was recognized by the officials of Suzaku, yet Xiao Yang killed him just like that. Wasn't this too disrespectful to the officials of Suzaku?
It has to be said that Xiao Yang was too bold.
"Xiao Yang, how dare you kill someone from the imperial court? You're dead. Let me tell you, when we reach Suzaku, it'll be your death."
Fan Shouwang was furious and directly roared at Xiao Yang.
Originally, he was the one in the wrong, but after what happened, he could use offense as defense. He might even be able to protect himself.
Xiao Yang's eyes were filled with disdain. He looked at Fan Shouwang and calmly said, "Fan Shouwang, you bullied others and tried to steal their treasures. This is a heinous crime, and you deserve to die."
After he finished speaking, he activated his cultivation again and threw a palm at Fan Shouwang.
"Haha, you want to kill me? Let me tell you, don't even think about it."
Fan Shouwang was very proud and laughed arrogantly.
Following that, he felt a terrifying cultivation crushing down on his body. His body started to lose control, and even his own cultivation couldn't be controlled. The crushing force became stronger and stronger, and in the end, his face turned red and blood flowed out of his eyes. At this moment, he finally understood that Xiao Yang was a terrifying existence that he couldn't afford to offend. Xiao Yang was so strong, and he had misjudged him.
If he had known that Xiao Yang was so powerful, he wouldn't have offended Xiao Yang even if he was beaten to death.
Now, he had no room for regret. He could only look at Xiao Yang in horror. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't even speak.
Bang!
An explosion sounded. The grandson of the Minister of War, Fan Shouwang, exploded into a cloud of blood.
The crowd was in an uproar again. They were all very afraid of Xiao Yang.
They didn't expect Xiao Yang to be so bold that he even dared to kill Fan Shouwang.
Captain Liu Zheng Feng was scared out of his wits. This Xiao Yang was really ruthless. If he wanted to kill, he would kill without any hesitation.
He was a little panicked.
Because he was opportunistic and only cared for his own safety, he didn't think about his duty despite being in an important position. It was equivalent to indirectly allowing evil people to do as they pleased. This was a kind of connivance. If he could be loyal to his duty and maintain order on the airship, he would definitely be spared.
Xiao Yang's gaze fell on Liu Zhengfeng. He said indifferently, "Liu Zhengfeng, as the captain, you let Fan Shouwang do evil and connived at him breaking the rules. What right do you have to sit in this position with your inaction and opportunism?"
Liu Zhengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "I'll take the blame immediately."
He took out his identity token and documents and placed them in the air. Then, he turned and left the airship.
None of the onlookers condemned Xiao Yang. They all thought that Xiao Yang had done the right thing by punishing evil.
No one sympathized with Fan Tianlei, Fan Shouwang, or Liu Zhengfeng. They all deserved it.
After Xiao Yang dealt with this matter, he returned to his room to rest.
Everyone else left.
Chen Pingan could only smile bitterly.
Xiao Yang was happy, but he had to clean up the mess he had caused.
The grandson of the Minister of War had been killed. It would be strange if the Minister of War and the Fan family let this go.
Chen Pingan had no choice but to report this matter to his grandfather, the Minister of Revenue.
After the Minister of Revenue, Chen Guopan, heard the news, his expression became serious. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Minister of War.
The Minister of War, Fan Jin, also seemed to have sensed something. His expression changed. He had a bad feeling in his heart and felt uneasy.
Not long after, the airship arrived at the port of planet Suzaku.
Many passengers disembarked one after another and left the place.
Chen Pingan, Housekeeper Chen, Xiao Yang, and the others disembarked.
From afar, Chen Ping 'an loudly called out to Chen Guopan, "Grandpa!" and then jogged over. His face was brimming with excitement. This time, after leaving the Chen Clan, he had obtained some battlefield merits. It could be said that he could finally raise his head and puff his chest out.
Chen Guopan was also very happy to see his only grandson safe and sound. A smile appeared on his kind face.
