Volume 1 Juvenile Exhibition Scroll Painting Vulgar Chapter 29 Questioning Guilt
"At about 17 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, a lightning strike occurred in the Tiansen Building in our city, and the building was damaged in a large area, which then caused a vicious stampede, resulting in 4 deaths and 16 serious injuries, and the cause of the lightning strike is still under further investigation......"
The rain was still falling, and the news footage on the TV flashed the scene of the riot in the building not long ago, but it perfectly avoided all traces of the cultivators.
"How's the aftermath going?" Zhang Changgong stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, looking down on Sucheng City, which was uncomfortably silent in the heavy rain.
Time passed, and the market was peaceful.
Over the past 40 years, there have been countless vicious cases caused by cultivators, each of which has been quickly forgotten in the surging red dust, and at most has become the talk of urban weirdos, and some half-truths and conspiracy theories have been circulated in some small circles.
"The dead and injured and their families have settled down, and the media have controlled the spread of all the video materials and rumors of the time. The staff of the Environmental Investigation Bureau, codenamed Zhao Zhuxiao, mechanically reported, "At present, some witnesses have been carried out to forget their worries, but there are too many witnesses to this incident, and the specific number and identity are still under investigation, and it will take a little time." ”
Since the beginning of the new century, the ranks and strength of the Environmental Investigation Bureau have gradually grown, and the Tenri Division has transferred all the powers to deal with the evil cases of practitioners, and the Tenri Division has returned to its original monitoring and law enforcement agency. To this day, the world still maintains a sense of comfort and peace that is ignorant of the cultivation world, and it has to be said that it is thanks to the hard work of the environmental investigation bureau over the years.
It's just that now that the people's wisdom is greatly opened, and the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, it is no longer an era when the monks on the mountain and the king in the court can easily fool the world by making a decision. Even Zhang Changgong, a great cultivator of the Divine Power Realm who has been working incognito for more than 30 years, doesn't know how long this situation can last.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this general trend that the Tenriji had long anticipated, so he gradually gave up the redundant work of tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall, and instead wanted to completely establish a new order between monks and the human world that was suitable for the new era.
Thinking of the Mr. Si Tian who knocked on the gate of heaven, but turned his head back to the bitter sea and red dust when he ascended, Zhang Longbow, like all cultivators, only sighed in his heart.
"Got it, try your best to prepare, if the three sects conquer the Yuanyuan Demon in a few days, our workload will be even more. ”
Zhao walked Xiao nodded and left the conference room, and then the three disciples of Xiao Er, Wen Lian and Lingguan Sect walked in.
Zhang Longbow turned around, his face expressionless.
"Tell me what's going on. ”
The understatement of the question already contained the power of the upper realm, and the words were not heavy, but they sounded like a bell ringing in the ears of the five Mingche monks.
In the face of such pressure, all of them were in a cold sweat for a while. And Lin Guanfu, who was born in Lingguan, was even more surprised, this Director Zhang did not have a good face and a bad reputation, but his cultivation was faintly comparable to his master Jing Xian Zhenren.
Lin Guanfu inherited a famous family, and the seniors in the upper realm also met the mortals, so he naturally understood how rare it was to be able to compare with his own master.
The monks who joined the Environmental Investigation Bureau were all obscured by the power of the upper echelons of the ruling party, and changed their faces to serve the country only under the code name.
Zhang Changgong noticed Lin Guanfu's prying eyes, and swept his eyes slightly, Lin Guanfu's eyes suddenly ached, and he was immediately blind.
He hurriedly lowered his head and breathed secretly for a moment before regaining his senses.
The monks of the three sects waited for the rabbit, and the Yuanyuan Demon Clan planned to do what they wanted, seeing that the war was about to break out, because of the wanton and reckless behavior of a mere Qi Guanfeng, the riot caused by it was also tired of the entire Sucheng Environmental Investigation Bureau to deal with the aftermath for him. Xiao Er could probably understand Director Zhang's mood at this time, and gave Wen Lian a "don't speak" look, and he didn't say a word.
"Director Zhang," it seemed that it was difficult to bear the increasingly solemn oppressive atmosphere, Situ Guanyu stubbornly spoke, "Senior Brother Qi, he is also ......."
"I didn't ask you. Zhang Changgong said lightly, and Situ Guanyu suddenly felt that his heart was like a boulder, and he couldn't say a word.
Qi Guanfeng was embarrassed to speak at this time: "Director Zhang, this time it was indeed the younger generation who caused the riot, but the younger generation was in a hurry to collect demons at that time, and the younger generation was ......."
"Why did you make a move?" asked Zhang Changgong lightly.
"That demon is really hateful, and the younger generation is indignant for a while......"
"Why did you make a move?" asked Zhang Changgong again in the same tone and sentence.
"This ......" Qi Guanfeng didn't understand what he meant, but he was like a man on his back, cold sweat flowed, reworded, and said, "Go back to the seniors, the juniors are to suppress the banshee." ”
Zhang Changgong's eyes looked at him, and his tone remained unchanged and flat: "What I asked is, why did you want to make a move?"
Under the pressure, Qi Guanfeng had already fallen into an ice cave, trembling all over his body.
"I..."Qi Guanfeng lowered his head and sneered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Junior... The younger generation saw the banshee seducing the man, and wanted to do it in the bathroom... The younger generation became a nameless fire for a while, and they didn't suppress their demons, so they ........."
Because of this?
Xiao Er couldn't cry or laugh, he never expected that the first battle between the three sect monks and the Yuanyuan demons, as well as his own small calculations, would be such a nonsensical reason, and they all failed.
"Xiao Er. At this time, Director Zhang suddenly called Xiao Er.
"The juniors are here. Xiao Er couldn't figure out the temper of this Divine Power Realm chief, and hurriedly replied.
"You have participated in the written examination of the Tianli Division, do you know that in the co-governance law, the monk used his magic to kill the innocent, what crime should he be guilty of?" Zhang Changgong asked.
Xiao Er glanced at Qi Guanfeng and said: "If you go back to your predecessors, depending on the actual situation and the degree of casualties, the maximum sentence is death, and the minimum blockade is several years in prison. ”
Qi Guanfeng's face was like the color of earth, and Situ Guanyu pointed at Xiao Er and shouted angrily: "Xiao Er!
Xiao Er glanced at Situ Guanyu: "The monks on the mountain go down the mountain to practice, and they need to memorize the three volumes of the law of co-governance, do you dare to memorize it now?"
"I..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Guanfu coldly stopped Situ Guanyu, didn't look at Xiao Er, and bowed to Zhang Changgong again: "Senior Rongyu, although the junior brother acted recklessly, but how can it be regarded as killing innocent people?
At this time, Wen Lian on the side said leisurely: "Even if it is a mistake, why does Qi Guanfeng privately arrest the banshee?
Xiao Er frowned and looked at Wen Lian, didn't he tell you not to speak.
"Demons walk in the world, so they should naturally be accepted, what kind of innocence is it?" Qi Guanfeng argued.
"She's in your hands, and you let her out to confront you. Wen Lian said.
"Phew, how can I confront the demons as a disciple of my spiritual contemplation?"
Zhang Changgong looked at Qi Guanfeng, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
A monk on the mountain convicts and convicts him? Makes assumptions about good and evil without real evidence? Lynching without law enforcement authority?
These disciples of the mountain sect don't seem to be very old, don't they know that it is a legal society now?
With Qi Guanfeng's three views, he couldn't understand the logic of Zhang Changgong and Xiao Er's training, but Lin Guanfu understood, and he bowed again: "Senior Zhang, Senior Brother Qi is my Lingguan disciple, according to the law of co-governance, even if Senior Brother Qi violates the law, it should be convicted by the Tianli Division, the ruling party and the three halls of our sect.
Zhang Changgong nodded secretly when he heard this, this Lin Guanfu can still be polite and courteous, neither humble nor arrogant in the face of such a situation, and in a few words, he secretly changed the concept, shifted the focus, and quickly proposed a solution that seemed to be neutral but was secretly selfish, worthy of being the leader of the next generation of the Lingguan School.
At this moment, Luo Jifeng's voice sounded outside the door: "The conquest and suppression of demons is the business of the three sects, how can Zongtian Gong withstand it?"
The sound was like the sound of a sword, and the aftermath was still ringing, Luo Jifeng had already strode to the conference room, his eyes were like swords, and he coldly swept over the three people of the Lingguan Sect.
"Uncle Shi. Lin Guanfu saluted the trio, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
As soon as the three sects came to the same qi, this time the disciples of the three sects went down the mountain, the master had a life, everything was headed by Luo Jifeng, and the three of them were also thinking about the situation in their hearts, and Uncle Luo Jifeng should protect them. Second, the momentum from Zhang Longbow was too tormenting, and when Luo Jifeng came, it invisibly diluted the pressure a lot.
But after Luo Jifeng saluted Zhang Changgong, he said directly to Qi Guanfeng: "I have summoned the Lingguan Sect to explain the reason for this matter, so you can go back to the mountain to wait for trial." ”
"Uncle Shi!" Qi Guanfeng was shocked, and Lin Guanfu Situ Guanyu was also shocked, saying that this Uncle Luo was the best talker in the Luofu Sword Sect, why didn't he help them distinguish a few words at all?
Luo Jifeng looked at the three of them and said with a straight face: "When the three sects negotiated this matter with the Ministry of Co-governance, they promised that this trip to Sucheng would act in accordance with the laws of co-governance, and they would not act recklessly. If you know that the law is broken, don't let the sect be disgraced anymore. ”
The tone of his words was flat, but it did not leave any room for Lin Guanfu and the three of them to argue.
"Yes, disciple understood. Lin Guanfu was shocked in his heart and bowed his head.
Then Luo Jifeng said to Zhang Changgong: "The three sects will give Sucheng an explanation for this matter, what do you think of this, Director?"
Zhang Changgong glanced at Luo Jifeng deeply and nodded: "That's very good." ”
He and Luo Jifeng both understood that the law of the three co-governance of heaven, earth and man was originally jointly formulated by the clan party of yin and yang. Even if Qi Guanfeng returns to the mountain to be tried, under the joint trial of the three halls, it will also be lightly punished, and at most confined for a few years, if the Lingguan sect wins the right to be imprisoned, and is even reluctant to block his cultivation realm, it is nothing to know that the monks have a life span of one hundred and forty or fifty years, just a few years.
Therefore, Luo Jifeng's crisp and neat style made Zhang Changgong, who was old in officialdom, appreciate it even more, and it also made him even more jealous.
Lin Guanfu used his eyes to stop the two junior disciples from saying extra words, and the three of them were about to retire, but they were stopped by Wen Lian reaching out.
"Let the banshee go first. Wen Lian changed his usual cheerful temperament today, and said coldly to Qi Guanfeng, "You are a person who has committed a crime and is awaiting trial, but you still want to detain witnesses?"
"Hmph!" Qi Guanfeng snorted angrily, took out the death cover, and recited the magic formula, only to see the clear light flash, and the unconscious Su Yirong appeared on the ground. Then Qi Guanfeng slammed his sleeves and walked out.
Lin Guanfu and Situ Guanyu glanced at each other and followed.
"Two seniors, we... also retired. ”
Xiao Er watched Wen Lian help Su Yirong up, sighed, and the two of them also left the conference room with a demon.
