"Wu Bingyu, someone wants to see you. Outside the cell came the guard's rude summons, "Come out!"

In the past, being called by a mortal like this, this proud talisman master would definitely be furious. But she doesn't have that capital right now.

In the battle of Songhe, Sun Xiang wiped out all the cultivators of Songhe with the great divine power group of the Evil Aversion Sect, and Wu Bingyu was also one of them.

After that, she was not brutally executed as she thought. Instead, he was abolished and kept in a cell.

There were even cultivators who used elixir to restore her from the huge wound on her jaw.

For these so-called humanitarian aids, Wu Bingyu sneered in his heart. Before the troubled times, she was particularly unaccustomed to the style of "spending a lot of medical resources to rescue the murderer and then shoot him to death". Even though she is a top student in the law department of a well-known Ivy League school, she thinks it's all about taking off her pants and farting.

I didn't expect the same style to fall on me, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.

In the cell, Wu Bingyu spent a peaceful time. From time to time, members of the Songhe Resistance came to interrogate her and ask her questions.

These Wu Bingyu are all aware of everything and are quite cooperative.

First, although she doesn't think she's wrong. But losing is losing, and the winner is the king, and the strong are respected.

Second, whether he told the truth or made up lies, or even knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Wu Bingyu didn't think that these would have any effect on his ending. Both horizontal and vertical are dead, and at most they are changed from sharp stakes to shots.

In fact, Wu Bingyu himself was surprised by the content of the interrogator's questioning. According to her thoughts, the other party should be interested in the treasure trove of Matsukawa cultivators, or where something of value was buried.

Isn't it natural that the winner will take all, and the winner will inherit all the wealth of the loser.

However, the other side interrogated the former Tupeng Group in every detail about its policies and insider practices against civilians, including organized killings and forced labor.

Do you still need to ask these things? He who has long eyes can see it.

But she is now abolished from her cultivation and is not qualified to resist interrogation. In order to make his last time more comfortable, at least he would not be served by several big men day and night, Wu Bingyu wisely chose to cooperate with the investigation.

But she didn't know much.

Two weeks before the collapse of the Tu Peng Group, Wu Bingyu had just joined Songhe City. Although she was strong and tried her best, it wasn't until she attacked the Resistance's underground fortress that she had just entered the sight of the city lord Tu Peng.

If there was no Sun Xiang, it was very likely that the shrewd and cunning Fu Master Wu Bingyu would be entrusted with a heavy task by Tu Peng and become another demon in Songhe City.

But it's a pity that Sun Xiang forcibly pressed the termination button for her career. Wu Bingyu was as aggrieved as he joined the Kuomintang in 49, and was reduced to a prison sentence before he could "show his ambitions".

Therefore, she has almost no involvement in the high-level affairs of Songhe City, and knows very little about everything.

"Today is another routine interrogation. Wu Bingyu was covered in a prison uniform and staggered out of the solitary cell with the guard.

Without her spiritual powers, she was just a weak woman in her twenties, and her long-term detention made her quite weak. She was short, sallow-complexioned, and her hair, though groomed daily, was still a mess.

In the familiar interrogation room, Wu Bingyu met Zhuo Yao. She had some impression of the baby-faced woman, who seemed to be a minor leader in the Resistance.

In the decisive battle in the fortress hall that day, the two had a relationship. Only now, the identity has completely changed.

Zhuo Yao was wearing a smart black suit, with a close-fitting white shirt and a pair of thin pencil pants. It looks like an elite lawyer in a high-end office building.

Wu Bingyu was a little gloomy. In her memory, she seemed to have been like this, busy in a very tall building. Reiki Resurrection changes everyone.

The two sat down facing each other.

The interrogation room was very rudimentary, with only a table and two chairs, and other than that, it was empty. The lighting comes from the skylights overhead, and the walls are painted pure white, which is oppressively unsettling. Two armed guards stood on the left and right, and two others stood guard outside the door.

Zhuo Yao looked at the case files in his hand expressionlessly, these were Wu Bingyu's investigation conclusions, and he wrote more than 500 pages. The amount of manpower and time spent is considerable.

The case trial committee has already given a conclusion, but as a public prosecution organ, Zhuo Yao must take care of the last pass. After reconfirming the six-panel signatures on the cover of the investigation report, she raised her head and asked in a beautiful and cold tone:

"Wu Bingyu?"

"Yes. ”

"We, the Songhe Public Prosecution Commission, have made a decision not to prosecute you. Zhuo Yao snapped and closed the case file, "Congratulations." ”

This congratulations was accompanied by a strong reluctance.

Wu Bingyu opened her eyes for a few seconds, and she couldn't understand Zhuo Yao's words.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Meaning. Zhuo Yao coldly picked up the case file and stood up, "You are free." ”

A guard opens the door to the interrogation room.

Wu Bingyu raised his head incredulously, as if to make sure that the other party was making fun of himself. But whether it was Zhuo Yao, who announced it to her, or the guards with guns, there was not the slightest banter on their faces.

There is only some kind of deepest indifference.

"Why?" After a moment of silence, Wu Bingyu sneered, "Did you let me go to show your kindness?" but I want to tell you that I am not grateful to you for joining you. ”

If her cultivation is still alive, she may pretend to flatter. After escaping, he will come back with a thousand times more revenge.

But she is now a wasted person, and she has long been disheartened. For her, being reduced to a lowly commoner is the greatest torture. Maybe Zhuo Yao announced her execution, and she would be better.

Zhuo Yao tilted his head, as if he knew Wu Bingyu's thoughts very well.

"We have decided to release you. She explained, "It's because according to the investigation, you have only been a member of the Tupeng Group for two weeks, and there is no evidence that you have committed blood debts." ”

"What if I say yes?" Wu Bingyu said angrily, "What if I say I've killed many, many untouchables?

"Sorry, what you said didn't work. Zhuo Yao still had a cold attitude, "People can't incriminate themselves." ”

"Do you really think this is a legal society!" Wu Bingyu's emotions were extremely complicated, and he slapped the table and scolded, "This is a chaotic era of aura, only strength, no law!"

"Then you've seen the law now. Zhuo Yao held the case file and left without looking back.

~~~~~~

Wu Bingyu walked out of the prison dressed in plain clothes, and the heavy iron door suddenly closed behind her. The sun was a little harsh, and she rubbed her eyes. When it became clear again, the current situation of Matsukawa came into view.

A few months ago, it was a practitioner's paradise. Everywhere is an elegant garden with carved beams and painted buildings. The long-sleeved cultivators jumped into it, happy and chic.

And now, the whole place has turned into a busy construction site, full of sweaty construction workers shouting trumpets.

Although these garden buildings for cultivators to live in carefully designed by the Tu Peng Group have considerable artistic value, it is a pity to tear them down.

But first, these exquisite gardens themselves are a symbol of the brutal rule of Tu Peng and others, and secondly, millions of civilians need to be placed in the city, and the open space in the city is indeed not enough.

Therefore, Wei Kaicheng organized the whole city to carry out a large-scale construction in full swing. Rows of simple prefabricated houses were erected, and collective canteens were built one by one. Among them, the seams are dotted with patches of vegetable gardens. Lao Wei was originally from the army, and he was a good hand at production.

The coastal side gave a lot of support to Songhe, not only the divine light sword and the aura armament of Liruobuyi, but also a large number of goods came and went along the railway line. Therefore, the real economy of Songhe City is now developing well.

Less than a hundred meters after Wu Bingyu walked out of the prison, there was a small riding market. On both sides, there are dozens of simple stalls covered with plastic paper, including traveling merchants and local residents.

There are a wide variety of items on sale. Snacks, daily necessities, food, and even traveling merchants put swarthy lightsabers on their stalls for public sale.

Several workers were about to buy one in partnership, but because the price could not be negotiated, both sides were foaming at the mouth.

A woman with her children set up a used book stall, and both of them were reading. When Wu Bingyu passed by, he found a copy of "The Spirit of the Law" on the bookshelf. She hesitated and bought the book.

Because of her acquittal, her personal belongings were returned in full, so she could pay for the transaction. But her house in Songhe has been bulldozed, and the slaves in it, of course, are even more unlikely to wait for her in place.

There were also some rune paper and talisman tools in her bag, which she had saved hard as an adventurer before, but she didn't expect that these would accompany her in the end.

Rashly throw it away or sell it, or be reluctant. Although she no longer needs it, who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe one day, because of chance, she can use spiritual power again. Since you're not dead, let's live for the time being.

It's a magical time where anything is possible.

Because the house was gone, Wu Bingyu didn't know where to go, so he could only wander around the city aimlessly. During the period of large-scale construction, everything was full of vitality. There was no indication on the faces of the inhabitants that they had been slaves like pigs and sheep even a few months ago.

Wu Bingyu walked among them, incompatible with everyone. She bought another apple along the way, which cost all the money she had left. Conditions in Songhe Prison are acceptable, but the luxury of fruit will never be provided.

Beside a small river, an elaborately embellished pavilion stands on the bank of the river, with a fountain bubbling from the top.

Wei Kaicheng did not bulldoze all the buildings, and the pavilion and the surrounding meadow were preserved and turned into a small street park. After all, human beings still need a little bit of life mood.

But because it was working hours, it was sparsely populated, and only one man sat in it and looked at the babbling stream.

Wu Bingyu sat down on the other side, eating apples while reading the "Spirit of the Treatise" he had just bought. Many years ago, when she was still a middle school student, because of this book, Wu Bingyu embarked on the path of studying the law.

When we met again many years later, it was still so familiar, and she remembered every sentence in the book.

Once upon a time, she was an idealist who believed in the law and that all crimes should be brought to justice. But in such an era, her faith collapsed along with the laws of the world, and she became an outlaw fanatic who did whatever she wanted.

"Freedom is not unlimited, freedom is the right to do everything that the law allows!"

Reading this sentence, Wu Bingyu burst into tears. She deeply realized that when human beings lose their laws, they also lose their freedom.

The man in the pavilion who was looking at the scenery turned his head. Wu Bingyu stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, after all, it was a shame to choke in front of strangers.

But when she saw the man's face clearly, two very different emotions, hatred and fear, firmly grasped her soul.

The person in front of him is Sun Xiang. The man who ghostly slaughtered her companions and ruined everything.

Wu Bingyu threw away the things in his hand, holding his head and shrunk in the corner, shivering.

Master Sun touched his nose in embarrassment, in fact, he always thought he was very kind.

"I miss a friend here. The head of Sun Da had to retreat a little distance, lest this woman be frightened by herself and go insane, "You don't have to be like this, I don't have any malicious intent." ”

After speaking, a meditation spell landed on the top of Wu Bingyu's head. The bright yellow shimmer flickered, and Wu Bingyu's mind settled down slightly.

However, he still lowered his head, not daring to look at Sun Xiang's eyes.

"You're looking for me?"

She just cultivated to be abolished, and her eyes are still there. There is no chance encounter between a top powerhouse like Sun Xiang and someone like her.

The other party is waiting for her here. But she doesn't think she's of much use right now.

"Actually, this matter should have been raised to you by Zhuo Yao, the prosecutor who just released you. Master Sun smiled helplessly, "But for well-known reasons, the members of the Resistance Group hate you to the core, and she really doesn't want to invite you personally." ”

"So I'll have to do it myself. ”

Wu Bingyu got up, picked up his book by the way, and said sullenly: "She can kill me with a knife if she sees that I don't like it." ”

"Then she'll go to jail. Master Sun laughed.

Wu Bingyu didn't think it was funny, she calmed down and asked, "What invitation?"

"Before that, you answer me a question. The head of Sun Da asked, "Do you approve of Tu Peng's practice, which is the practice of treating civilians as slaves and even killing them at will." ”

Wu Bingyu fell into a longer silence, but finally she raised her head and looked directly into Sun Xiang's eyes: "I agree! That's why I joined Songhe." ”

After saying this, Wu Bingyu closed his eyes and led his neck to kill. This answer is equivalent to dying without repentance, and she didn't really want to live anyway.

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiang nodded.

"Good!" he said with a sigh of relief, "then it would be fitting that the job would be entrusted to you." ”

Wu Bingyu opened his eyes and felt that Sun Xiang was simply inexplicable.

"You're not going to kill me?" she asked, "I'm a diehard!"

"A person can only be convicted for his own actions, and no law convicts people for their thoughts. Sun Xiang smiled, "You used to be an excellent lawyer, so you don't understand this simple truth." ”

Wu Bingyu glanced at the book in his hand, and then spoke:

"It seems that you really intend to rebuild the legal system in the Reiki Age, and I have to say, you are very courageous.

However, if the Tao is different, I will not join you!"

Sun Xiang smiled and said, "You can't force it, but I'm not inviting you to join us, but inviting you to do something that you have the responsibility to do." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I formally invite you to serve as Tu Peng's defense lawyer. ”
