7. Confront each other
Dapeng demonstratively circled over Longling City, causing a huge panic, and then stopped above the heads of Yan Li and others, and the rain curtain in a radius of more than ten miles was cut off, and it can be seen that tens of thousands of sword cultivators are standing on the flying sword, Feng Jiu is in the middle, and there is the thunder sound of Jiuxiao under his feet, and between the clouds and dragons, tens of thousands of veins are extended, implicating tens of thousands of flying swords of sword cultivation, making them control the sky. Zhao Gongling and Yuhuatian were on both sides of Feng Jiu, looking down indifferently.
The sword light of different colors but the same root reflected Luo Fangshuo's pale face, and he suddenly understood why Yan Li didn't run away at this moment.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yan is innocent, this is a frame-up!" Luo Fangshuo hurriedly ran to the courtyard and begged Feng Jiu on his knees, "For the sake of the Lord of Little Sword Peak, please spare him!"
"Yan Li, don't come out to die!" Zhao Gongling beside Feng Jiu shouted, he was about thirty years old, full of beard, with peach blossom eyes, the power of the head of a department, like the suppression of the prison of mountains and seas, the dragon ordered the city to go out in panic, like the decree of the gods.
Li Xiangjun's palms were full of sweat, secretly pinching Linglong Tian, seeing Yan Li standing up and walking out, he hurriedly pulled him away: "Childe, don't go!" She bit her lip and shook her mantis, staring at Yan Li, "Just think it's for us, okay?"
Yan Li gently hugged the beauty, "I'm going for you." No one dies, and nothing is incomprehensible. After saying that, he let go, walked into the court, hugged his fists into the air and said: "Senior brother, Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Zhao, I Yan is far from a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, but I should always give my little brother a clear death, what is the reason for your murderous anger?"
Zhao Gongling shouted: "You dog thief is still pretending to be stupid, Xu Longxiang has exposed all your two-faced and three-knife behavior, and there is a photo ball as ironclad evidence, and you can't rely on it." You are finally a little responsible, you didn't listen to Luo Fangshuo, a sinner, and fled alone, otherwise, all the people who have a relationship with you will die —— someone, go and arrest Luo Fangshuo for me, and bring him back to the law enforcement court for questioning!"
Luo Fangshuo was suddenly frightened and stupefied, and he collapsed on the ground and couldn't move.
"Slow!" Yan Li dodged to stop, "I asked myself if I was not guilty, why did I have to escape? Presumably Senior Brother Luo committed the crime of informing, but if I am innocent, wouldn't he have no merit or fault? Let me guess how Xu Longxiang arranged me." He is such a despicable and shameless straw bag, and he does not distinguish between right and wrong, it is only because he accused me of killing my fellow disciples, which makes the senior brother so angry; but against the criminals in court, there is still a chance to defend two sentences, dare to ask the senior brother, don't I Yan Li even have a chance to say two words?"
"Senior brother, this dog thief is clever in his words, don't listen to his demagoguery!" Zhao Gongling hurriedly persuaded.
Yu Huatian shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "For the sake of others not escaping, what's wrong with listening to two sentences, can two sentences reverse black and white?"
Deep in Feng Jiu's heart, he didn't want Yan Li to be a murderer, so he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "Say it." ”
Yan Li motioned to Li Xiangjun to help Luo Fangshuo to the back, and then said, "Senior brother didn't refute, I guessed right." If I really kill any of my fellow disciples, it is natural that one life will be worth one life. If I can make my brother angry, the situation will certainly be very unfavorable for me, but what if I am innocent? I can give my life with both hands today, but if the truth is revealed one day, my brother will have to live in self-blame for the rest of his life, which I do not want to see. ”
Zhao Gongling sneered: "Listen to it, this dog thief is very knowledgeable, so he will retreat."
In order to advance, under the guise of thinking about others, he is actually fighting for a chance to live for himself. Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway! Senior brother, what are you hesitating about, let me make a move, take his head and go back to pay tribute to Senior Brother Lei!"
Yu Huatian slowly touched the sword on his waist: "Yan Li, if you can't prove your innocence, forgive me for offending." ”
The cold murderous aura turned into a violent wind that invaded Yan Li, making his hair loose, and a strand of sideburns fell down, which happened to be dyed with frost, and under the reflection of the sword light, it was an indescribable vicissitudes.
Feng Jiu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it, blocking Zhao Gongling and Yu Huatian: "Listen to him!"
"Senior brother!" the two looked at Feng Jiu in astonishment, Feng Jiu gently spit out words with an unknown intonation, "My words don't work?" ”
Yan Li said: "I hope to get a chance to confront Xu Longxiang face to face!"
Zhao Gongling was witty, and said angrily: "You dog thief, it's just wishful thinking! Yu Chi's second subordinate is in the lower realm, and I can't get your head back, so I, Zhao Gongling, don't have to mix in the fairy realm in the future!"
Yu Huatian also frowned and said, "Yan Li, I said, if you can't prove your innocence, we won't let you go." ”
"Senior Brother!" The three of them looked at Feng Jiu in unison, Feng Jiu stared at Yan Li for a long time, and suddenly said, "I only asked you once, did you kill Lei Yan?"
"No!" Yan was shocked and blurted out. He guessed that an important member of the door died, but he didn't expect it to be the head of the Thunder Department, and he thought that Feng Jiu didn't bring the members of the Thunder Department to the lower realm, I'm afraid it was just to give him a chance to speak, obviously he was not really blinded by the killing intent, and this trust was very heavy.
"Bring it back, the seven veins will be judged together!" Feng Jiu made the final decision.
Zhao Gongling was stunned: "Senior brother, are you confused, our lower realm is here to kill people, not to arrest people! If you can't get back Yan Li's head, will those people in the Lei Department give up?"
Feng Jiu just looked at Zhao Gongling coldly, Zhao Gongling suddenly shuddered, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you are the senior brother, you have the final say, but what will happen after that, I don't care!"
Under Feng Jiuqiang's order, Yan Li and Luo Fangshuo were escorted back to the Sword Court to hold a joint trial of the seven veins.
A large number of disciples gathered outside the square of Heavenly Sword Peak, especially the members of the Lei Clan, after learning that Feng Jiu brought back a big living person, not a human head, they all felt deceived, but they were not qualified to enter the Law Enforcement Hall, so they could not question Feng Jiu face to face, so they planted the seeds of dissatisfaction.
The original Heavenly Sword Hall of Heavenly Sword Peak has now been changed to the Law Enforcement Hall, Feng Jiu and Yang Qiusheng sit in the first place, regardless of generation, as the acting head of the sect, it is not surprising that Feng Jiu and the head of the Law Enforcement Institute are on an equal footing. The remaining five veins are seated on the left and right, and the acting peak master of the Hidden Sword Peak is currently Cao Zijun, but he has been imprisoned by the Law Enforcement Bureau, so he can't be there. In addition, some of those who were qualified to observe in the hall stood behind their chairs, such as Chang Maochun, the head of the temple. Although the Seven Veins were respected by Heavenly Sword Peak, the elders were not qualified to sit with the first seat.
The atmosphere of solemnity, malice but everywhere. Yan Li felt it when he stepped into this hall, he saw the old man next to Feng Jiu, and knew that this person must be Yang Qiusheng, saluting one by one, it was Ye Qinglan's turn, he paused, trying to get from her expression
Something to see. Ye Qinglan's expression was nothing, just nodded at him slightly, he couldn't feel the kindness from it, naturally he didn't know what this nod meant, and he didn't know anything about the remaining heads, and he didn't have anything to say. Then he saw Yu Qiuyu, standing next to Chang Maochun, and also nodded to him, he knew that this nod meant yes, and the coldness in his heart decreased slightly.
"I walked all the way, I saw Bai Aya everywhere, and I knew that Senior Brother Lei was dead, and I also heard some about the process. He was the first to speak and break the silence.
"Shut up!" Chang Maochun shouted, "The law enforcement court is heavy, the court master didn't speak, who gave you a chance to speak?"
Yang Qiusheng said with a smile: "Everyone has the right to speak, which cannot be taken away. I heard that you asked to confront the dragon elephant face to face? In front of the Acting Sect and the first seat, you can just say something, as long as you are indeed innocent, this seat will make the decision for you. ”
Xu Longxiang came out on crutches and stared at Yan Li with hatred and hatred: "Murderer, you still dare to appear!"
Yan Li glanced at it and stopped paying attention, "Senior Brother Lei went to the lower realm, and carried out the order of the Law Enforcement Institute to clean up the portal, which was blocked by Senior Brother, so he embarked on the return journey, Senior Brother stayed in Longling City for one night, but he was seven days earlier than them, I have a question, except for the two days of procurement, why is Senior Brother Xu at least five days late? What are you doing in these five days?"
Xu Longxiang said coldly: "I was seriously injured by you, and I had to find a place to recuperate, and it took five full days to move, and then I found a boatload of people before I collected the corpse! You didn't expect me to die, there is evidence of your murder, and you dare to come back to confront me, it's a shame!"
The five first seats were seen for the first time, and they looked at each other with different expressions, but did not speak.
Yan Li took out a few masks and gave them to Feng Jiu and the others, and everyone took the masks and put them on their faces, and there were suddenly many more Yan Li in the law enforcement hall. "The person who took the picture is very clever enough to make people recognize me without making people discern it carefully, and these masks do not show that I am innocent, but at least there is a possibility that I was framed. ”
Xu Longxiang said: "This is obviously a statement you have made up a long time ago. ”
Yan Li said: "This may also be evidence that you have made up a long time ago. ”
Xu Longxiang was furious, and limped up to grab Yan Li's chest: "What reason do I have to harm Senior Brother Lei? He takes good care of me, I am as good as a brother to him, how can I harm my own brother? You are different!"
"Oh?" said Yan.
Xu Longxiang smiled vigorously: "I'll tell you what's different about you! Although that little maid of yours was arrested by me, and I was the one who threatened to hurt you, but Senior Brother Lei sat idly by, you think he was an accomplice, and later, the little maid was captured by Jiang Mingcheng as a hostage, and you were threatened to stab yourself with a few swords, you transferred all these grievances to us, you hated us, so you led people to intercept and kill us in the Nine Heavens Hanging River! A beast with three swords on both sides, you still dare to shout and confront me!"
Yang Qiusheng said: "In this way, there is indeed a motive for killing. However, it was this seat that ordered the door to be cleaned up, and if Yan Li really killed people with a grudge because of this, he also killed the wrong one. ”
