Volume 3 Bao Ling Prefecture Chapter 69 Dig into it to the end
"Patriarch, Team Liu didn't mean that, he was..."
"Old city lord, I came out of the city on the orders of Liu Jie, and I didn't say anything to the patriarch..."
"Centurion, if you had listened to us in the first place, why bother..."
"Old Liu, Team Liu... But you are relatives, so you can intercede for him. ”
The guards at the city gate said their own words, some pleaded for Liu Jie, and some saved their lives, and from their words, the fact that Liu Jie attacked Qi Luna was basically determined, Liu Yixian's body became more and more straight, and his face became more and more ugly.
"Understand, which is the director of the Garrison Department? Tell me, what should I do in this situation?" Mu Chen knew very well that the official system of human beings, especially the military, was clearly hierarchical, and it was definitely a felony to commit the following crimes.
"Old City Lord, Lord Mu Chen, if Centurion Liu Jie does attack the Great Patriarch, according to the military law of Baoling Prefecture, it will be a capital crime. ”
"Wait, Liu Jie, what they say is the truth. Liu Yi snatched the words first, not believing that his cousin and nephew would do such a stupid thing.
"I... I do... But the Patriarch is holding us back..."
No one cared about the rest of the words, even Liu Yixian closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, looking disappointed.
"Quan Yuren, give the order to do it. ”
"Mu Chen, this..."
"What, do you still want to protect him?"
Of all the nobles in the room, none of them interceded for Liu Jie, especially the generals, who disobeyed the order before the battle and committed the following crimes, which is a taboo for soldiers, no matter who it is, it is a capital crime.
"Prince Ren, he left home to join the army when he was a teenager, in order to resist dozens of scars on his body in order to resist the demonic beasts, and there are countless military exploits, you..."
"Uncle Cousin, I, Liu Jie, don't ask you to intercede for me, but you must block this group of demonic beasts, and you must not let them enter our home. My grandson wishes you a long and healthy life and a long life. Liu Jie didn't know when to break free from the rope, snatched the saber from the guard's waist, and killed himself.
"Liu Jie... Liu Jie... Liu... You..."Liu Yi cried a few times first, and then stretched out his hand to Mu Chen, furious.
"Alright, this matter is settled, Quan Yuren, let's continue. ”
"It's over? you... You forced my nephew to death with a pair of rotten wings, and my old man and you are not finished. ”
"The rest is really not over, you just wait. ”
Things have developed to this point, Quan Yuren doesn't want to get involved, he has already determined that Mu Chen will not give up, if he speaks to Liu Yi first, then he will be the next Liu Jie, so he hurriedly asked someone to clean up the body and calm the emotions on both sides.
The few people who came with Mu Chen were dumbfounded, especially the two sisters, they saw a different Mu Chen, they always thought that he would finally exchange land for the Spirit Clan by making profits, but since he cut off the wings of the Spirit Martial Arts, he is no longer the appearance of the human beings who have always been accommodating, although they knew that this matter would definitely get to the bottom of it, but they didn't expect it to be in this way.
Taking the opportunity to clean up the corpse, Wei Gonglu asked Mu Chen in a low voice, "What about the captured villagers?"
"Did they recruit the tomb robbery?"
"Recruited. ”
"Where's the money?"
"Take it all. ”
"When you ask for money, you say you can't find it, and then send someone to pretend to be a whistleblower, and you can just follow me for the rest. ”
Liu Yixian watched Liu Jie's body being carried out of the living room, tears were in his eyes, and he made up his mind that today he would not only drive away the Spirit Clan, but also make Mu Chen the enemy of the entire Lingzhou.
"Quan Yuren, the corpse has also been collected, let's continue. ”
"Prince Ren, my old man also wants to see what else he has to say?"
According to the current situation, Quan Yuren has lost his dominance, he is caught in the middle, and he can only act according to the attitude of the two of them, so he helplessly motioned to Mu Chen to continue.
"This time, I said that the merchant group, I should answer your expenses for the merchant group, I have already given the money, and they also brought it through the wings, and you can send someone to the south gate to pick it up in a while." ”
"Don't think that you can exchange a few wings for their living space in Baoling Prefecture, my old man will never agree. ”
"What I did was what I promised Quan Yuren, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
"Prince Ren, you can't betray Baoling Prefecture, my old man will find a way for you. ”
"Quan Yuren, what do you say?"
"This..."
"Prince Ren, isn't he just blackmailing you with his penetrating wings, five hundred show me, and we in Baoling Prefecture will never owe anything to foreign races. ”
"Quan Yuren, since he said that he came out, then I won't embarrass you, I thought that the matter of the merchant group started because of me, and I have the responsibility to come forward to solve it, and I gave you fifty spirit stones without hesitation..."
"Lingshi is also out, there is no need for you to pretend to be responsible here, and you don't want to spend money to buy an inch of land for the aliens, we will solve the affairs of our Baoling Prefecture by ourselves. ”
"Since you Liu Yixian misinterpreted my intentions, then I won't be strong, Quan Yuren, return the spirit stone to me. ”
Quan Yuren was forced to return the spirit stone to Mu Chen on the spot, Liu Yixian saw that he had no bargaining chips, then got up and said: "Since we don't owe each other, my old man will not accompany me, and I will go out to explain today's events to the people in the city, so that they can see who is behind the scenes." ”
"Wait, it's not over yet. Mu Chen glanced at Wei Gonglu, and he nodded.
"Don't mess around anymore, I have already seen what you are planning, with me, you will never succeed. ”
"The next thing really has nothing to do with you, but it's about the lives of the people, as the patriarch of the Baoling Prefecture nobility, don't you want to hear it?"
"Do you still want to threaten me with the lives of the people, and you should use such despicable means as the head of the pioneers? ”
"Is digging up a grave considered despicable, according to your state law, how can such a person be punished?"
As soon as Mu Chen's words fell, the villagers of Qiming Village were brought into the hall, and when they saw the pomp in the house, they thought they were going to judge themselves, so they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Quan Yuren knew about this early in the morning, thinking that Mu Chen was going to threaten them and arrange the Spirit Clan in Qiming Village, so he just took this opportunity to suggest this matter by him to ease the conflict between him and Mu Chen.
"Mu Chen, since they have confessed, it is better to let ..."
"On the day of Guo Erniu's burial, everyone was also present, and I, as the mourner, naturally have the right to inquire about this matter. Although digging graves and robbing graves is a capital crime, they are indeed pitiful, I can understand, I will not pursue the capital crime, but the stolen money must be returned to me, and when the cemetery is rebuilt, I will still bury it in it. ”
"Lord Mu Chen, we have already paid the money, why do you still care about us. ”
"Old city lord, the money and property we handed over when we were arrested, including those hidden in the residence, all of which were searched. ”
"You are talking nonsense, the guards in my house happened to encounter you digging graves on the way home, so they hurried back to report it, it was indeed me who sent someone to arrest you, but I didn't find a penny, tell me, where did you hide the money?"
In order to prove himself, Wei Gonglu brought the whistleblower and the arresting soldier into the hall and confronted the villagers, and the whole process was flawless and won everyone's trust.
"Liu Yixian, what should I do, it is reasonable, they lost their homes and had to steal to make a living, I can not pursue this, but this money..."
"My old man is out, and we in Baoling State will never owe you a penny. ”
"I buried thirty spirit stones for Erniu, how can there be thousands of gold and silver thrown by the nobles, I don't want the gold and silver, all the nobles give alms to their people, since you don't want to owe me, return my part to me." ”
As soon as he heard the number, Liu Yixian's eyebrows and feet jumped, counting these thirty, he should have already gone out eighty spirit stones, such a huge number was beyond the scope of what he could bear, but the words had already been spoken, and he had no choice but to agree.
"I know that no one will carry so many spirit stones with them, give you three days to send them to the Wei Mansion, don't be too late. ”
"You... Don't worry, my old man will do what he says, and he will never let you see a joke. ”
At this point, everyone felt that it was time to come to an end, Liu Yi first used eighty spirit stones and five hundred wings to turn Mu Chen away, this was already the limit in everyone's hearts, they had no intention of continuing, and they all showed tired expressions.
But even so, Mu Chen had no intention of giving up, he slowly got up and walked to the center of the hall, looked around, and said, "There is one last thing, after speaking, we will leave immediately." ”
"Since my old man dares to take on such a large debt, he is not afraid of you making more demands, if you have something to say, I will let you see it today, you are not welcome in Baoling Prefecture. ”
"Girl... Qiluna will resign from the post of Patriarch of Baoling Prefecture, no longer hold any position in Baoling Prefecture, and will no longer participate in any action against demonic beasts in Baoling Prefecture, and from now on, she will live in Weifu as a guest until she leaves. ”
The human representatives, who were originally physically and mentally exhausted and barely won, immediately recovered their spirits as soon as they heard the news announced by Mu Chen, and confirmed each other, not believing what they had heard.
"Lord Mu Chen, don't make up your mind in advance, let's discuss it later..."The first to stand up was the full name De, everyone here didn't want Qi Luna to leave, but no one had any other sincerity.
"Yes... Yes, Mu Chen, we'll discuss this matter again... Let's talk about it..."Quan Yuren persuaded immediately after his son's words.
"The lower officials know that Liu Jie's following offense has angered the patriarch, but if you want to resign from your position because of this matter, I, the director, will naturally be held responsible, I am willing to share the same crime with Liu Jie, and I hope you will retract your resignation and keep our side safe." ”
When the generals saw the director of the garrison department kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, they also knelt down to save him. Qiluna's existence, the most direct beneficiary is these soldiers, they can only block and expel demonic beasts with flesh and blood, and every mission is nine deaths, but since Qiluna took the initiative to help the army, these soldiers are no longer afraid to deal with large-scale demonic beast infestation, they all know in their hearts that as long as the patriarch appears, the battle will end immediately, and victory will always belong to mankind. Over time, the soldiers regained their courage and confidence, and their fears for their lives were greatly improved, and some troops even moved their garrisons outside the city, no longer unilaterally retreating. If the Patriarch is gone, then everything will return to its original state, which is the last thing the generals want to see, so they do their best to keep it, and are even willing to pay with their lives for it.
