Chapter 1507: Drumming and Accusation (1st Update)
The cancellation of the bounty order means that it is worthless to kill Canglan, Lin Qingyue and others again, at least, it will not bring benefits to the outlaws, and it will not bring benefits to the killers.
Whether it's outlaws, lone killers, or killer organizations, everything they do is based on profit.
Having money can not only make ghosts grind, but also make immortals kill.
But if there is no profit to be gained, the motive for action is gone.
Canglan is no longer the focus of attention in the fairy realm, and people turn their eyes to the hermit tower, wondering if these hermits are unwilling to be lonely.
After all, the fairy realm has been quiet for too long, so long that there is no fun to speak of.
Although the Void Pole Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Emperor of the Void Pole fought several small-scale battles, winning and losing each other, it was clear to everyone that neither the Void Immortal Emperor nor the Immortal Emperor of the Void Pole was prepared for a full-scale war, and the peace of the Immortal Realm would be the constant theme of this era for a long time.
However, for some real high-level leaders, they seem to have seen some clues, and with their speculation and analysis, they have seen a different state of affairs. Of course, these things have nothing to do with the countless people in the Immortal Realm, who are still living on their own, worrying about their own reality.
Some people see uneasiness, some see opportunities, and some see possibilities.
The results seen determine the direction of action.
What Xiang Beichen saw was anger, conspiracy, and someone manipulating.
Xuji's order made Xiang Beichen feel even more uneasy, even if an empire was killed, even if a soldier was killed, it should mobilize the strength of the country to strangle the killer to death, instead of using the overall situation to let the murderer go!
"Murder!"
A high-pitched shout pierced the night sky and reverberated through the city of Great Cause.
Xiang Sansi went out for a while, then hurriedly returned, and said with a very unnatural expression: "Lord of the City, fifteen people have died in the Hades Medical Hall, and it is the owner of the Medical Hall who shouts murder. He is now beating drums outside the palace to file a lawsuit. ”
"Drumming the case?"
Laughing like blinking, the monk solved the problem, when did he follow the way of the literati? What are you doing again in the long night?
"What is he suing?"
Xiang Beichen frowned and asked.
Xiang Sansi gritted his teeth, didn't dare to look at Xiang Beichen's gaze, lowered his head and said, "He, he sued the city lord......"
"What?"
Don't talk about Xiang Beichen this time, even Xiaoru, Song Hezi and Ming Jue were also shocked.
The entire Yongning Prefecture is Xiang Beichen's final say, not to mention that in the core of Xiang Beichen's Great Cause City, he actually went to a mansion Yin to sue Xiang Beichen, who was a few levels older than the mansion Yin official?
Xiang Beichen was shocked by the sudden intelligence, and asked, "Sue me, what do you sue me?"
Xiang Sansi took a step back and said, "According to the news from the side of Fu Yin Li Dezheng, the city lord was sued for murder in the medical hall for a long time, and Li Dezheng didn't dare to open the door......
"I kill?"
Xiang Beichen was amused, he hadn't settled accounts with this guy yet, he actually came to find his own trouble.
Xiaoru thought for a while, and said to Xiang Sansi: "Tell Li Dezheng, open the door to try the case!"
Xiang Sansi looked at Xiaoru in surprise, his eyes turned to Xiang Beichen, and seeing that Xiang Beichen didn't say anything, he hurriedly walked out of the hall to arrange.
Xiaoru pulled Xiang Beichen to sit down, and said with a smile: "There are dead people in the medical hall, no matter what, it can't be separated from Tianchangye, he is a smart person, and he won't know who has the final say in Weiye City, but he still did it, and he still went through the channels of the government." Whatever he's planning, he's going to lose, and this is our chance!"
Xiang Beichen narrowed his eyes, and said with a slight hint of coldness, "Do you want the government to convict him, and then control him in the palm of his hand?"
Xiao Ru nodded heavily, and said: "He killed someone, if the corpse is destroyed, we have no choice, after all, he may be a person from the Hermit Tower, and we can't arrest him directly." But now it's different, let Fu Yin take action, let the evidence walk in the light, let everyone know that it was the long night that killed someone, then Fu Yin was convicted, and the hermit tower couldn't say a word of no, when the time came, he must be threatened every long night, and the person hiding behind him is likely to appear, and we, we can see clearly, who is targeting us!"
Xiang Beichen sneered and said, "He really took a way to die, I'm curious, what does he want! I heard that Murong Xuan and Murong Xiuxiu are going to the Desperate Palace, is this true?"
Xiaoru sat down, nodded and said, "It should be true, they are already on the cold star ship, they are crossing the starry sky, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Datong Continent soon." However, the list of visits to the Desperate Palace only had Murong Xuan's name, and there was no Murong Xiuxiu. ”
Xiang Beichen didn't care about this, after all, it was a matter of Datongzhou, and it had nothing to do with Yongning Prefecture, looking at the information that Xiaoru had packed up, he asked worriedly: "Hermit Tachu resigned to Yongning Prefecture, right?"
Xiaoru waved his hand, asked Song Hezi and Ming Du to retreat, and said to Xiang Beichen: "Here, but he didn't enter the Hermit Tower, but stayed in Plum Blossom Lane, this is a person who is not easy to deal with." ”
Xiang Beichen nodded solemnly.
Hermit Tower Chu Ci, good at strategy and martial arts, is a quite capable guy, Hermit Tower sent Chu Ci here, not to apologize, but to come to see the play, and is even likely to participate.
"Pay close attention, I want to know Chu Ci's every move. ”
Xiang Beichen gave the order.
Outside the gate of Fu Yin, Ye Changtian held the drumstick with both hands and beat the drum vigorously, he didn't expect that there was such a thing in the fairy realm. Of course, the original function of these drums was not to beat the drum and sound grievances, but to serve as an alarm clock to call the people inside to get up and work.
It's just that it's late at night, and it's not dawn yet, Ye Changtian is going to call people to get up, and a few officials behind him don't dare to move, because this guy who complains is very murderous, and ordinary officials can deal with ordinary people, let them deal with monks, or look down on them.
The governance system of the Immortal Realm is very strange, mainly monks, each state is headed by the city lord, who is responsible for the management of the monks' power, and is the key force to stabilize the overall situation, while the Fu Yin is the official in the state capital who is specifically responsible for the management of non-monks, they are the subordinates of the city lord, and basically will not deal with the monk incident.
But I walked a lot at night, and today I saw a ghost.
Li Dezheng's face was pale in the back hall, and he was about to explain the aftermath.
I heard that this guy is likely to be a hermit tower in the background, if it is not handled well, Xiang Beichen will kill himself, and if it is disposed of, the hermit tower will kill himself, and if it is disposed of, the hermit tower will kill himself, is there still a way to live?
In the past, it was good to say that the Hermit Tower didn't kill people, but now that Xiang Lei has no head, what is his own mansion Yin?
Li Dezheng didn't want to open the door to try the case, especially since this madman actually sued Xiang Beichen, and the city lord's mansion has become a defendant, how can I try it? Can I still let the defendant stand under the court?
Damn, it's a monk, you use the monk's method to solve the problem, others kill you, you kill others, no one holds you accountable, there is really a grievance, you go to the city lord's mansion and say to Xiang Beichen directly, what are you looking for me?
Li Dezheng felt that his vitality was draining, and it was obvious that this matter was likely to kill him.
Xiang Sansi from the City Lord's Mansion came directly and asked Li Dezheng to open the door to try the case.
There was no way, Li Dezheng was dressed neatly and ordered to be promoted to the court to try the case.
Ye Changtian swaggered into the lobby, the two classes of officials were on a line with eyebrow water and fire sticks, and there was no difference from the secular world, but one of the officials who was napping made Ye Changtian's eyes squint slightly, although the person seemed to be lazy, but Ye Changtian knew that it was a real master, and it was likely to be a heavenly immortal-level existence.
There is no such master in the Fu Yin Yamen.
Ye Changtian showed a smile, it seems that Xiang Beichen is still involved, this is okay, it is easy to do things with multiple ears.
"Smack!"
Li Dezheng hesitated again and again, and finally slapped the shocking wood, but the voice was not loud, looking at the fearless Ye Changtian, he asked: "The drum is beating in the middle of the night, what is the matter?"
Ye Changtian arched his hand and shouted, "Lord Fu Yin, someone has killed someone, don't you care?"
Li Dezheng asked, "Is the deceased a monk or a commoner?"
"Monk!"
"The monk doesn't return to the mansion, uh......" Li Dezheng saw Xiang Sansi's cold eyes, and hurriedly shuddered, and shouted to Ye Changtian: "You killed someone? You are so bold that you dare to kill someone from my Xiuji Empire, I don't think you want to live anymore!"
Ye Changtian waved his hand again and again and asked, "My lord, where did you know that I killed someone? Did you frame me without investigating? Did the Void Extreme Immortal Emperor hand over his official position to you to frame a kind person with such an open eye? Are you worthy of the black veil on your head and worthy of the Void Extreme Immortal Emperor? Okay, the Void Extreme Immortal Emperor has asked him several times to put the people first, to find out the truth, and to return the heavens and the earth to be clear, you are so yang and yin? I think you want to rebel, right?"
Li Dezheng hurriedly stood up and shouted tremblingly: "You are talking nonsense! Li is loyal to the Void Extreme Immortal Emperor and has no second thoughts!"
Ye Changtian snorted coldly and shouted: "Then why don't you ask the truth, investigate, or visit, and then you categorically think that I killed someone? If you frame me today, you can frame ten people tomorrow, and he will be thousands of people every day! Li Dezheng, do you want to cause a popular uprising and let the masses live in dire straits, so that they can achieve an unspeakable secret?"
"I didn't!"
Li Dezheng wiped his cold sweat again and again, he just asked a word, and he actually talked about rebellion and civil uprising, this guy is too insidious, if this word reaches the ears of the Void Extreme Immortal Emperor, don't talk about himself, even the whole family will have to finish playing!
"Then what are you waiting for, arrest the criminals!"
Ye Changtian glared at Li Dezheng and said coldly.
"Prisoner?" Li Dezheng was cold, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is the prisoner?"
Ye Changtian smiled and said, "Naturally, it's the city lord Xiang Beichen, he killed someone in my medical hall, if you don't arrest him, who will you arrest?"
"Nonsense!" Li Dezheng slapped the table, glared at Ye Changtian and shouted: "How can the city lord kill people, how can he go to you? You don't want to frame the city lord! It's a long night, what do you want to do?"
Ye Changtian pointed in the direction outside the door and said, "Lord Fu Yin didn't go to the scene to investigate, first said that Tian was the murderer, and now he said that Xiang Beichen was not the murderer, which is really powerful." Why don't you investigate on the spot? I'm the victim, and you have exonerated a murderer?"
Li Dezheng hesitated, looked at Xiang Sansi on the side, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "Take this official to the scene!"
The corners of Ye Changtian's mouth hooked a smile, and he took Li Dezheng and the general officials into the Hades Medical Hall, and in the backyard, fifteen dead monks were lying. Li Dezheng glanced at Xiang Sansi on the side, Xiang Sansi stepped forward to inspect the corpse, and replied to Li Dezheng: "My lord, the dead are all sealed with a sword, and they are all done by a master swordsman. ”
Li Dezheng looked at Ye Changtian and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that it was City Lord Xiang who killed someone?"
Ye Changtian took out a piece of paper from his arms, and there were still some blackened blood stains on the paper, handed it to Li Dezheng, and said, "Is this evidence enough?"
