Passing through the high-walled gates, a group of guards patrolled back and forth.

"Wow~, I don't know if I thought I entered the Forbidden City!" Lu Fan muttered in surprise.

"What kind of purple city?" Chen Lingyu Mu asked curiously.

"Miss Chen, we're going to see the Mansion Master later?" Lu Fan hurriedly changed the topic.

"Well, the front yard is the office place, and the city lord lives in the inner courtyard of the rear. Chen Lingyu nodded, and then said: "The lord of the mansion is very busy, but it is not something that can be seen when you meet, and the trial is all under the responsibility of Judge Cui." ”

"Judge Cui?!" Lu Fan was stunned.

The judges of the prefecture have all come out, and there won't be bulls and horses guarding the door in front of you, right!?

During the conversation, the group came to a building similar to an ancient yamen, and there were several soldiers standing guard in the lobby, which was estimated to be the place where the case was heard.

Chen Gang was taking a few people to the spacious lobby, and hurried to the back hall after giving an order, and the group stood in the center of the lobby with big eyes and waited quietly.

After a stick of incense, Lu Fan and the others became impatient, and complained in a low voice: "The official apes of the Dali Dynasty are so procrastinating in handling cases?"

Chen Lingyu was also a little puzzled, and said: "It is rumored that Judge Cui is handling the case vigorously, maybe there is something delayed." ”

Zhao Cheng is the old god, did he turn his head to look out of the gate, as if he was waiting for someone.

After waiting for a few more moments, a sound of footsteps came from the back hall.

A man dressed as a small servant trotted to the high hall and shouted: "The lord of the mansion has arrived~!"

The people present were stunned for a moment, only to see a middle-aged man wearing an official robe with a heroic face walking out and sitting on a chair with a dignified face.

"Didn't you say that the city lord was very busy......" Lu Fan asked with a blink of his eyes.

"Eh~, maybe the city lord is okay today. Chen Lingyu's little face flushed.

I just said that it was difficult to see the lord of the house, but when I turned around, I was slapped in the face, and the little girl felt that her face was burning.

If it were a normal case, it would definitely be handed over to Judge Cui to deal with, but this time the case involves the ten major families, of course, it must be taken seriously.

What's more, it was the son of the current head of the Zhao family who was injured this time, Zhao Fu is also an old man who has been waiting for the Zhao family for decades, and the city lord also wants to see what the guy who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard looks like.

Waiting for Fang Qinglong to sit upright, the people below immediately bowed respectfully and said, "I've seen the Mansion Master." ”

Lu Fan sensed carefully, Fang Qinglong, who was sitting above, was only a martial apprentice, but it did not prevent everyone from being in awe of him.

Fang Qinglong belongs to the civil official series, and the ability to have martial arts cultivation is just to strengthen the body, and many civil officials don't even have cultivation!

Backed by the Great Departure Dynasty, even if there is no cultivation, who would dare to disobey it!

"Who is in the hall?" Fang Qinglong said majestically.

"The lord of the mansion, in the lower Zhao family, Zhao Cheng, sued the thief for injuring my young master Zhao Ritian, and robbed the ring and the ground level martial arts!

After speaking, he took out a thumb-sized spar from the storage bag and held it up with his hands respectfully.

"Oh~?" Fang Qinglong waved his hand, and the little guy beside him hurriedly took the spar.

looked at the young man below, and said lightly, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes. ”

Lu Fan did not shy away from admitting it, although he didn't know what the spar was, but since the Zhou family was so sure, it meant that there was already evidence, and any more quibbling would only be inferior.

The little guy activated the spar at the signal, and a beam of light shot out, revealing a picture five or six meters away. The background is a messy forest, which is the scene when Lu Fan activates the spell to hit the two of them hard!

The small spar even has a video function, with sound and picture, isn't this a video recorder~!

Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and muttered secretly: Black technology~! If you have the opportunity, you must get a few, the small spar is much easier to use than the camera!

"There is a shadow stone as proof, this thief has also confessed! I also ask the lord of the mansion to hand him over to the Zhao family to deal with, so as to comfort the spirit of the old servant Zhao Fu in the sky!" Zhao Cheng made a sad expression, but his eyes were full of joy.

According to the law of the Great Departure, if you kill someone, you can be punished with death. With the Zhao family's power in Black Iron City, the lord of the mansion will also do a favor and hand over a person sentenced to death to them for execution.

Zhao Cheng was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he could bring the kid in front of him back to the family, wouldn't the martial arts skills be in their pockets!

As for avenging Zhao Fu, the excuse is just in passing, who cares about the life or death of a servant!

"What a bunch of nonsense! Zhao Ritian's servant tried to kill people and seize treasures, and he died in Panlong Ridge only to blame him for his inferior skills!" Chen Lingyu frowned and said: "Mansion Master, the battle between the two sides took place in Panlong Ridge instead of Black Rock City, and Lu Fan did not violate the law of Dali, please be careful." ”

"Hit the eldest young master of the Zhao family hard, kill the loyal servant Zhao Fu, the murderer must be severely punished! The Zhao family is also a famous family in Black Rock City, and I also ask the lord of the mansion to teach this thief in the face of the head of the family!" Zhao Cheng hurriedly shouted.

"Oh~?"

Fang Qinglong's fingers tapped on the table, as if he was careless, "Zhao family, are you threatening me?"

After all, he is a feudal official, and a coercive aura belonging to the superior person suppresses the Zhao family below, and they dare not breathe.

Zhao Cheng was even more frightened, and if the charge of threatening the city lord was confirmed...... Without taking the initiative in the city, the Zhou family had to kill him first to appease Fang Qinglong's anger!

hurriedly explained: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I don't mean that!"

"Hmph~!"

Fang Qinglong snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "From the picture of the Shadow Stone, it can be clearly seen that the incident occurred in Panlong Ridge, and it does not violate the law of Dali. The government declares that the defendant is not guilty!"

As the majestic voice fell, everyone's expressions were different.

Chen Lingyu's lovely face was full of joy, and she immediately said happily: "The lord of the mansion is wise!"

In fact, the facts of the case are very simple, and the background in the Lingering Stone clearly reflects that the location of the incident was in Panlong Mountain, where killings among cultivators abounded.

The law only prohibits murder inside the city, but not outside the city!

Cultivators have strong physical qualities and live longer than ordinary people, and the increase in the number of cultivators will inevitably lead to a flood of population!

The Dali Dynasty allowed cultivators to fight outside the city for the purpose of reducing the population, which can be regarded as an alternative family planning.

Of course, the results are also outstanding.

Every year, cultivators kill each other because of tens of millions, otherwise the pressure in each city will be even greater!

Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and the decrease in the death of practitioners who are not official is more conducive to jurisdiction.

Of course, if anyone dares to slaughter ordinary people at will by virtue of cultivation, they will also be punished by the law.

After all, ordinary people are the foundation of a dynasty.

"This~!" Zhao Cheng opened his mouth to argue, but when he saw the majestic face of the mansion master, he didn't know what to say for a while.

If you can't bring people back, you will inevitably have a bad reputation, which will affect your future in the family.

"Retreat~!" said the little guy in a lengthened tone.

Fang Qinglong stood up and sighed deeply, as if he was a peacemaker: "People die greatly, let the grievances be buried with the soil...... ”

Lu Fan looked at the disappearing figure thoughtfully, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
