How should I deal with this kid? Should I wait for him to leave Northern Chill City?
However, if he really wanted to deal with Zhang Mao, there must be someone behind him. If I make a mistake, I might end up like Zhang Mao.
Zhang Xing thought to himself as he walked.
Very quickly, he thought of a way, and that was to use his own power to frame Linlong, causing him to be locked up in the dungeon by the Li family. At that time, he would think of a way to deal with Linlong, who was locked up in the dungeon.
With this thought, he immediately went to find an elder he was familiar with.
Very soon, he saw the elder. Looking at Zhang Xing, the elder asked, "Hall Master Zhang, what's the matter for you to suddenly pay a visit?"
"It's like this. I suspect that Zhang Mao's disappearance has something to do with Lin Li, but I don't have conclusive evidence, so I want to ask Elder Song Jia for a favor."
The elder named Song Jia immediately said, "Hall Master Zhang, are you sure that Zhang Mao's disappearance has something to do with Lin Li?"
"Most likely, it has something to do with him." Zhang Xing nodded heavily.
"In that case, I'm willing to help you. What do you want me to do?" Song Jia said immediately.
He had a good relationship with Zhang Xing. Now that Zhang Xing personally came to ask for his help, and it was related to Zhang Mao, he would naturally help.
"I want you to join forces with me to frame Lin Li and lock him up in the family dungeon. After that, I will think of a way to deal with him," Zhang Xing said.
"Okay …" Song Jia nodded and said, "What do you want to do?"
"How about this? How about we frame him for stealing one of your scrolls?" Zhang Xing thought for a while.
"Okay." Song Jia nodded without hesitation.
The two of them discussed it in detail and decided to sneak into Linlong's residence when he left. They would place one of Song Jia's secret manuals inside. Then, Song Jia would make a big fuss about how his secret manual had been stolen. Coincidentally, someone would say that they had seen someone leave Song Jia's residence and head to the rookies' residences.
By then, Song Jia would gather the newcomers and search their residences. Then, they could directly point the finger at Lin Long.
"Okay, let's do that." After going through the process, Zhang Xing nodded.
However, Song Jia felt that it was a little strange. He said, "Hall Master Zhang, although this plan seems perfect, it will be troublesome if the other party insists that someone else framed him."
"Elder Song is right." Seeing that Song Jia's words made sense, Zhang Xing nodded, and said, "In that case, let's assign two people to step forward and testify that they saw Lin Li leave your place with a book in his hand. That would be perfect."
Upon hearing Zhang Xing's words, Song Jia's eyes lit up, and he said, "It would be even better if the person testifying against Lin Li is the person next to him. Then, there's no way he can make a comeback."
"After hearing Elder Song's words, I remember that Lin Li really has a good relationship with one of the newcomers. As long as that person steps forward to testify against Lin Li, he really won't be able to defend himself," Zhang Xing immediately said.
He had previously gotten people to investigate the newcomers, so he naturally knew that some of them had a good relationship with Linlong.
Soon, Zhang Xing knew who this person was. It was Cai Ying, who had a very good relationship with Linlong after he entered the Li family.
After making some preparations, Zhang Xing asked someone to call Cai Ying over to Leisure Teahouse in Song Jia's name.
Hearing that it was Elder Song Jia who wanted to see him, Cai Ying still obediently went to Leisure Teahouse at the appointed time, although he was puzzled as to why Song Jia would do that.
After arriving at the designated private room, Cai Ying knocked on the door.
"You must be Cai Ying. You may come in." A voice immediately sounded from inside.
Cai Ying immediately pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Song Jia and Zhang Xing.
"Greetings, Elder Song, Hall Master Zhang," Cai Ying said respectfully.
"Mm." Song Jia and Zhang Xing both nodded.
"What can I do for you?" Cai Ying then asked in confusion.
"Cai Ying, we want you to do something for us. If it's done, you will be one of us in the future. We guarantee that you will get the resources and status that many people dream of," Zhang Xing said immediately.
Although it seemed like a pie falling from the sky, there must be a reason behind it. Hence, Cai Ying asked carefully, "Elder Song, Hall Master Zhang, what do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple. We want you to deal with Lin Li!" Zhang Xing said coldly.
"This …" Hearing this, Cai Ying immediately hesitated.
"Why? You're not willing?" Zhang Xing frowned.
"If Lin Li does something wrong, of course I can help you deal with him. But if it's not like this, I can't do it." Cai Ying shook his head.
"Look at you, it seems like you don't respect me, an elder, and Hall Master Zhang!" Song Jia said coldly.
"How would I dare to not respect the two of you?" Cai Ying hurriedly said.
"Do you want to offend the two of us for a mere Lin Li? You have to know that offending the two of us will not do you any good. It might even make it difficult for you to do anything in the Li Family in the future! "Zhang Xing directly threatened.
Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Cai Ying clenched his teeth and said, "Elder Song, Hall Master Zhang, I'll say it again. If Lin Li does something wrong, of course I can help you deal with him. But if it's not like this, I can't do it!"
"Good lad, you won't repent until you see the coffin!" Zhang Xing slammed the table and stood up.
What he did not expect was that Cai Ying was still looking at him without fear.
"Seems like you're someone!" Zhang Xing said with a frown.
He did not expect Cai Ying to be so stubborn. However, he had already made other preparations, so he was not worried at all at this time.
Then, he clapped his hands twice and said to the people behind him, "Bring him here!"
As soon as he said that, someone brought a seven or eight-year-old boy from the screen behind him.
Although the boy was not tied up, he did not dare to move at all. The moment he came out, he shouted to Cai Ying, "Brother."
When he raised his head and saw the boy, Cai Ying's expression changed immediately. That's right, this boy was his biological brother.
He accompanied him to participate in the Li Family's assessment and stayed until now. He originally wanted to go home in two days, but he did not expect to be caught by Zhang Xing and Song Jia.
"Elder Song, Hall Master Zhang, why did you catch my brother?" Cai Ying could not help but ask Zhang Xing and Song Jia.
"Of course it's to make you listen to us. I thought you were smart, but who knew you were so stupid. So, I could only bring him out." A sinister smile appeared on Zhang Xing's face.
"Hall Master Zhang, he is still a child," Cai Ying shouted.
"Child? I don't care about that. If you don't listen to us, he can only die! "Zhang Xing said coldly.
After a slight pause, he said again, "Don't doubt my words. I am a man of my words."
With that said, he looked at the person who brought the boy out and said, "Cut off one of his fingers!"
Hearing that, the person immediately took out a dagger and grabbed the boy's left hand. Then, he raised the dagger and slashed at the boy's left hand.
"Wait …"
Cai Ying hurriedly shouted. As soon as his voice sounded, the person's dagger stopped in mid-air.
"How is it? Have you thought it through?" Zhang Xing laughed.
"Okay, I promise you … What do you want me to do?" Cai Ying gritted his teeth.
"We want you to frame Lin Li with us …" Zhang Xing immediately told him what he wanted to do.
Although Cai Ying did not want to do this, he finally nodded and agreed for the sake of his brother.
"Very good. A wise man submits to circumstances. Cai Ying, Elder Song and I will definitely nurture you in the future." Zhang Xing smiled proudly.
After pulling Cai Ying over, they began to carry out their plan. When Linlong left the residence at a certain time, Zhang Xing personally placed one of Elder Song's secret manuals into Linlong's room.
"My secret manual is missing. Who stole it?" Ye Xiwen asked. Not only is this a low-grade earth-grade palm technique, but it also contains my cultivation experience! "
"Who did it? I will find him even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"
After he left, Song Jia immediately made a big fuss at his master's place.
His words immediately attracted the attention of the elders and hall masters in the Li family.
Of course, there were other people in the Li family.
"Who is so daring to steal an elder's secret manual? He must have eaten a leopard's gall!"
After these people came over and heard about the incident, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
"We have to find the culprit before the Patriarch returns. Otherwise, how are we going to explain it to the Patriarch!" someone said after that.
"Okay!" This immediately gained everyone's approval.
Although they agreed, they did not know how to start. After all, the entire Li family was not small, and there were some people and some places that could not be searched easily.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Elder Song Jia, when did you discover that the item was missing?"
"Just now … Half an incense stick ago," Song Jia immediately said.
"Is that so? At that time, I happened to see someone near your residence," that person immediately said.
"Oh, do you know who it is?" Song Jia asked.
"I did not see who he was, but I saw him walking towards the residence of the newcomers," that person said.
"It seems that the person who stole the item is very likely one of the newcomers … I suggest that we immediately search the residence of the newcomers," Zhang Xing immediately said.
"I agree." An elder immediately nodded in agreement.
"I agree too!"
In an instant, the majority of people agreed.
The newcomers were easy to deal with, not to mention that someone said that he saw the person walking towards the residence of the newcomers, so they did not feel any burden at all.
The group of people immediately walked towards the residence of the newcomers.
After arriving, they immediately called out the people who were still in their residences. Not only did they call them out, but they also made them line up together.
In addition to them, the newcomers who went to watch the fun also lined up with them. Lin Long was among them.
Lin Long just happened to walk around outside, and when he heard the commotion inside, he came back.
"Elders, Hall Masters, what's the matter?" Seeing this scene, the person who just came out of his room could not help but ask nervously.
"One of Elder Song Jia's secret manuals was stolen, and we suspect that it was done by one of you newcomers, so please take out your spatial rings!" A Hall Master immediately said to the newcomers.
Looking at these elders and Hall Masters who were eyeing them covetously, how could they dare to say no? They immediately took out their spatial rings.
As for Lin Long, he also took out his own spatial ring. There was nothing in his spatial ring, and all the useful things were stored in the Runic Spatial Ring.
The people in this world could not open the Runic Spatial Ring at all, so he was not worried at all that someone could find anything in the Runic Spatial Ring.
Of course, the elder's secret manuals were not stolen by him.
Afterward, two Hall Masters volunteered to search. After searching for a while, they all shook their heads because they did not find any secret manuals of Song Jia in these spatial rings.
"If there are no secret manuals in the spatial rings, they might be hidden in these rooms!" Zhang Xing said at this time.
"That's possible." The others immediately agreed.
"In that case, let's search these rooms again and see if there is a possibility that the secret manuals are hidden in them!" Song Jia immediately pointed to the few people beside him and said.
"Alright!" The few of them nodded their heads.
Immediately, they entered the rooms of the newcomers one by one, and after searching, they entered Lin Long's room.
After searching for a while, one of the Hall Masters' eyes suddenly lit up because he found a secret manual. He immediately pointed at the secret manual and said, "Elder Song, I found a secret manual. Is it the one you have?"
As soon as he said this, it immediately attracted the attention of the others.
Song Jia immediately took the secret manual. After looking at it, he was immediately overjoyed. "That's right, it's mine!"
Then, he flipped to the back, pointed to the handwriting at the back, and said, "These are the insights I wrote personally … Great, I finally found it!"
Seeing that Song Jia really found it, everyone immediately walked out from inside.
An elder immediately looked at the newcomers lined up together and said, "Whose room is this? How dare you steal Elder Song's secret manual!"
"Whose room is this? Stand out!"
The others also had fierce looks on their faces. Their gazes swept back and forth across the faces of the newcomers.
Then, someone immediately pointed to Lin Long and said, "It's his."
"Who? It's Lin Li's!" Those who knew that the room belonged to Lin Long also echoed.
"That's right, it's mine!" Lin Long frowned and walked out. Naturally, he knew that he had been framed.
It should be that Zhang Xing. He immediately thought of Zhang Xing. His gaze swept towards Zhang Xing, and as expected, he saw a trace of a proud expression flash across Zhang Xing's face.
"Lin Li, how dare you steal Elder Song Jia's things!" Looking at Lin Long, these elders all berated him.
