Chapter 131: The Difficult Choice of a Thousand Tribulations (I)
Tang Ning ignored Zhou Tong, who knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, and didn't care about the exclamations of the crowd, just walked towards Xue Xingchuan.
"General Xue, in the national court, if a subordinate official is a demon clan, how should the official in charge be sentenced?"
Although Xue Xingchuan didn't want to answer, he had to speak out under Tang Ning's questioning.
"Dean Hui Tang, according to the law of Zhou, once the hidden demon clan is found in the subordinate institutions of the national dynasty, the officials of the institution, no matter how big they are, will be locked up and taken to the Qing Division. After being reviewed by the chief officer of the Qing Division, if the matter is true, the chief official and the demon clan will be guilty of the same crime. ”
Tang Ning nodded, and then looked at Zhou Tong, who didn't dare to get up, and was still prostrate on the ground, and asked.
"If the demon clan is an official of the Qing Officials Division, how should it be handled?"
Xue Xingchuan was silent, and when he saw Tang quietly waiting, he sighed.
"There is no subdivision above the Zhou law, and the general can't talk nonsense."
Tang Ning smiled slightly, he knew that Xue Xingchuan was still thinking about his brotherhood, trying to exonerate Zhou Tong.
Tang Ning didn't care, or, even if the Holy Queen was here, he wouldn't care.
As for entering the Divine Capital, he has never met the Holy Queen, so naturally it is not Tang Ning who is afraid.
It's just because he doesn't have anything to think about, and there is no reason why he has to meet the Holy Queen.
Since it doesn't make sense, there is naturally no need to practice school
He understood the Holy Queen's intention to send Xue Xingchuan, so he did not intend to execute Zhou Tong in this public.
Tang Ning didn't care about letting Zhou Tong live for a few more moments, because he wanted Zhou Tong to die, and no matter where Zhou Tong was, even if he was in the palace, he would definitely die.
Xue Xingchuan looked at Tang Ning's calm eyes, hesitated for a moment, and still took a step forward, intending to kneel on one knee.
But in front of Tang Ning, he didn't want to bear this salute, and General Xue naturally couldn't kneel.
"You wanted to save his life, but you didn't think that maybe one of them would kill you with his own hands. Like now, if you could only live one person, guess what he would choose? ”
Xue Xingchuan frowned, glanced at Zhou Tong who quietly raised his head, he saw the desire in Zhou Tong's eyes, and saw his thoughts clearly, but Xue Xingchuan was not angry, just a little emotional.
"If what Dean Tang said is true, Xue is willing to ......"
Tang Ning raised his hand to interrupt Xue Xingchuan's words, and said with a smile: "Your life is very precious, because your life does not belong to you alone. It's easy to kill someone, and it's also easy to kill a great general with military exploits. ”
"But killing a general who is willing to die for the next battle, just to keep a person who has nothing to do and is consumed by profit, is it really a foolish general, does the general think I am stupid, or does he think the holy queen is stupid?"
Xue Xingchuan was silent, and Tang Ning didn't plan to do more, with a wave of his right hand, the demon clan at the back of the crowd came to him in an instant.
"It's you! It's you! It turned out to be you! ”
The man came up to Downing and burst out laughing.
When Tang Ning frowned, the demon clan said fiercely with a hideous face: "You will die!" You're going to die! You're going to die! ”
"I'm curious, six years ago, I saw a demon spy in Wenshui. At that time, he intended to poison Mrs. Tang, but unfortunately I saw through it, and then the man was vicious and intended to kill me. ”
"It's a pity that although his strength has reached the initial realm of gathering stars, it is still too weak after all. It's just that when he was dying, he was as crazy as you. I asked myself that since I was born, I have never preached it, why do you demons hate me so much, so big that you are fearless in the face of death? ”
"You want to know? No, I won't tell you! ”
Tang Ning frowned, Xue Xingchuan also had a gloomy face, and quietly tightened the long knife in his hand.
"You want to hide something in front of me, don't you feel a little overbearing?"
"Haha, I know that your cultivation is profound, and I understand that the strength you have shown today is only the tip of the iceberg. It's a pity that no matter how strong you are, you can't escape the fate! ”
Looking at the affirmation on the face of the demon clan, Tang Ning pondered silently.
He couldn't figure out how the people in the demon clan dared to make such an assertion since they knew that their strength was far from that?
He could see that the demon clan in front of him was not bluffing, nor did he want to save his life, so where did their confidence come from?
Black robe? No, although the black robe is not weak, in the original book, it can be easily abolished by Wang Zhice, and her strength can also be imagined.
Demon Lord? No, judging from the original book, the Demon Lord is suffering from old injuries at the moment, and although he may have entered the shadows, he still does not pose the slightest threat to himself.
Since it's not a demon lord, who will it be? He didn't think that there were any other people in the demon clan who could pose a threat to him. Could it be that within the demon race, there are still secrets that they don't know?
Tang Ning pondered for a moment, looked at the demon's maniacal laughter, and ignored his gaze that was vicious enough to frighten him to death.
Stretching out his right hand, the white and slender five fingers slowly retracted.
As Tang Ning made such a move, the demon clan's mouth was slowly closed.
When Tang Ning closed his palm into a fist, the chilling laughter finally disappeared from his ears.
Tang Ning nodded towards Xue Xingchuan, and walked towards He Ping and Hao Yun with his hands in his hands.
And the demon clan's fine work also rose straight from the ground, always floating behind Tang Ning.
"General Xue, please tell the Holy Queen Niangniang that tonight, Tang will set up a banquet in Baicao Garden, waiting for a gathering."
Xue Xingchuan nodded silently, turned over on the red cloud, and walked away on the red glow.
Zhou Tong watched the two leave, and then stood upright, his eyes looking at Tang Ning's departing back, full of fear.
He is a man who forgets his righteousness and indulges in power, but he is also an extremely intelligent person.
Tang Ning, as the president of the academy of the state religion, although he did not have the official title in the court, he was also equivalent to the archbishop of the state religion.
Regardless of his cultivation as high as the Holy Realm, this alone is not comparable to Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong was very afraid of death, he didn't want to listen to his fate. He knew that tonight's banquet in the Hundred Herb Garden would be the time to decide his life and death.
And he, as a loyal lackey of the Holy Queen, also believes that the Holy Queen Niangniang will not give up on himself.
But the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and Zhou Tong doesn't like to take risks. Therefore, he decided to enter the palace now to face the saint.
Zhou Tong believed that as long as he reported the news he got from the demons to the Holy Queen Niangniang, he would be able to live.
As for the hatred between him and Tang Ning, Zhou Tong never thought of revenge, or he himself simply did not have the ability to take revenge.
It's just that once hatred is born, it will naturally not disappear.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tong turned over his horse, quickly returned to the divine capital, and rushed towards the Great Zhou Palace.
He knew that Downing ignored him, and it didn't mean that he would be able to escape.
Anyway, he didn't want to run away. He still likes this kind of power desire to manipulate human life and decide life and death.
In the palace hall, the Holy Queen Niangniang heard Xue Xingchuan's words. She didn't respond soundly, but turned around and looked at Xue Xingchuan, who was kneeling and bowing his head.
