Chapter 38: Favoritism
He Cheng and He Jingcheng knelt on the ground, shivering, and on the cool mountain top in the middle of the night, cold sweat was oozing slightly from their backs.
The torches around are still bright, illuminating the whole venue as if it were day. The monk disciples below invariably looked at He Cheng and He Jingcheng who were kneeling on the ground, and at the same time, they were also observing the expressions of the law enforcement elders.
The law enforcement elder coughed twice, raised his feet and took a step forward, glanced at He Jingyun with a somewhat gloomy face, and said: "Everyone also saw it just now, Jingyun used the power of heaven to prove his innocence, so the collusion with the Dongfang family cannot be involved in the young family master for the time being. ”
"The old man acted recklessly, and I ask the young family master to forgive me!"
Although the status of the fourth elder is noble, he has made such a low-level mistake in front of everyone, and he is nominally the head of the young family on the other side, so his apology does not seem abrupt to the disciples.
"If a person is not a sage, the four elders are serious, please punish the villain and release my subordinates!"
He Jingyun's eyes were uncertain, and now he wanted to tear apart the four elders, the three elders, and the great elders, however, in reality, he did not have this ability, so he could only do his best to fight for benefits.
"Good!"
The law enforcement elder raised his head, looked at the black and oppressive people in front of him, glanced at He Cheng and He Jingcheng again, cleared his throat and said: "He Cheng and He Jingcheng forged Qin Ya's confession, slandered the young family master, punished him with cultivation resources for half a year, and received twenty boards each in the criminal room, and then went to the back mountain to think about it for half a year!"
"He Cheng, are you two acceptable to the old man's punishment?"
"Obey it!"
He Cheng almost thought that he was going to die, but the four elders just punished them for a beating, and then went to the back mountain to face the wall!
At first, he thought he had heard it wrong, but it wasn't until the fourth elder asked him if he was convinced that he knew it was true!
"This ......"
The audience below is a little unconvinced!
The disciples and the crowd were talking for a while.
The face of the four elders did not change, and Chao He was shocked and asked, "Is the young family master satisfied with my punishment?"
He Jingyun smiled coldly, stretched out his finger and pointed at He Cheng and the others, and said: "They framed the young family master and deserved to die according to the clan law, the four elders were punished like this, and the disciples were not convinced!"
"Alas!" The law enforcement elder began to play the bitter card, and said: "The young family master does not know, in recent years, my He family's talents have withered, the year before last and last year, our He family lost one after another in the deer competition, and was dominated by the Dongfang family! If the two are executed according to the clan law now, it will also be a loss to my He family! So, please forgive the young family master!"
"Losses?"
He Jingyun was stunned, then laughed and said, "The fourth elder is really clever, just now when you decided that this son colluded with the Dongfang family to punish the crime, why didn't you say the loss?"
The law enforcement elder's face turned pale, and he forced himself to hold his face, and said, "Please forgive the young family master!"
"Okay!" He Jingyun didn't make these senseless disputes, waved his hand and said: "Well, since heaven and earth are not benevolent, I will take their righteousness." You don't want to, this son will take it himself, I will write down this account. ”
"Next, do you want to give this son an explanation for this matter?" He Jingyun stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Ya.
"Elder Ben doesn't need to give you any explanation!" "The forgery of the confession can only show that He Cheng and He Jingcheng framed you, and it can't exonerate Qin Ya." ”
"Someone!" the four elders shouted, "Take them away!"
When the law enforcement team came up, they were going to take He Cheng, He Jingcheng and Qin Ya away.
He Jingyun stood forward, stood in front of Qin Ya's body, and said, "Who dares?"
"Why? You dare to obstruct law enforcement?"
The four elders turned around, with two glints in their eyes, and said: "Jingyun, the old man advises you not to be unforgiving, the old man can't help you with the evidence just now, but if you dare to obstruct law enforcement...... Hey hey ......"
He Jingyu and the Nine Elders came up at the same time, grabbed He Jingyun's arm, and said, "Jingyun, don't be impulsive!"
"I want to save Qin Ya!" He Jingyun's face was firm.
The Ninth Elder nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will save his life!" After comforting He Jingyun, he then said to the Fourth Elder in a loud voice: "Fourth, you can take this baby away, but you should also understand that there is no evidence of iron beating, if you dare to torture him, the old man will twist off your dog's head if he dies!"
"Poof!"
The eyes of the four elders went dark, and they almost fell to the ground.
After living for such an age, it was the first time that I had heard someone dare to say in front of many family disciples that he would screw off his dog's head. Moreover, when others say this about him, he has no way to do it!
After all, the Nine Elders were cultivators in the late stage of the Tattoo Master Realm, and their attacks were extremely powerful, and the kung fu of the two of them was like a cloud and mud.
"Let's go!" The law enforcement elder didn't want to stay for a moment, and hurriedly walked forward with the disciples.
He Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of He Cheng and He Jingcheng's punishment, he was like swallowing a hundred flies.
"He Tianbo!" He Jingyun called the name of the fourth elder and said loudly: "I hope that from tomorrow onwards, you don't regret today's things!"
The four elders ignored him and led the people down the mountain quickly.
When the matter was finished, all the disciples dispersed.
He Jingyu removed the surrounding firelight.
The eastern sky has revealed a glimmer of light, and the low and undulating black mountains in the distance and near are clearly outlined.
On the back hill, the pheasants of dawn have begun to sing for the first time.
"Jingyun, if you don't live here with the old man in the future, don't go to the Great Elder's side!" The Nine Elders stood beside He Jingyun, tall and tall, with a sleeve empty, fluttering with a slight breeze.
He Jingyun shook his head, raised his eyes to look at the sky in the distance, and said, "No, I want to go back, some debts have to be repaid after all, and some people can't live!"
After saying that, he didn't say hello to the Nine Elders, and walked along the path full of rocks on the mountain, groping his way towards the place where the Great Elder lived.
In the hall, the Great Elder sat upright, with several bamboo slips placed side by side on the table in front of him, and in his hand was the jade seal that was playing with He Jingyun.
"The old man didn't expect that you still have the courage to come over, you can teach. It's just a pity, why aren't you my He Tianyuan's descendant. He Tianyuan raised his head, and a fine light flashed in his seemingly cloudy eyes, staring at He Jingyun with a thorn in his eyes.
He Jingyun strode to the table frankly, and he was not polite, sat opposite the Great Elder, and said, "I want to save Qin Ya and let him go!"
Now that the two have torn their faces, there is no need to continue to disguise.
He Tianyuan listened to He Jingyun's tone, instead of blaming, he showed a trace of appreciation, shook his head again, and said two words: "Conditions!"
"Don't you think that the tattoo realm I gave you is incomplete?" He Jingyun asked indifferently.
"Of course!" The Great Elder's reaction was also beyond He Jingyun's expectations, "The old man knows that at least one bamboo slip is missing!"
He Jingyun nodded, reached out and took out a bamboo slip that had been prepared a long time ago from his pocket, handed it to the Great Elder, and said, "See for yourself, this chip is enough to release Qin Ya!"
He Tianyuan's eyes lit up, he took the wood chip tremblingly, and after just looking at it twice, his face was happy, and he muttered to himself: "I see, I see!"
"Hehe, it's really exquisite!" The Great Elder let out a breath, looked at He Jingyun with a smile, and said: "This price is good, but unfortunately, the old man doesn't ask for you, you must know that as long as the old man makes a move, it is not difficult to forcibly ask for it!"
"So, this is not a condition!" the Great Elder continued to brazenly take out the jade seal, gently put it on the table, and said, "Tell me, what is it for?"
He Jingyun pretended to be annoyed and said, "The head of the family should do what he says, why is he so shameless?"
The Great Elder's eyes sank slightly, and he said, "You'd better pay attention to your words!"
He Jingyun said: "The disciple is incompetent, I really don't know the purpose of this thing, and I hope that the Great Elder will not force him!"
"As long as you tell me the secret, I will not only release Qin Ya, but also ensure that you will be rich for the rest of your life!"
"The disciple really doesn't know!"
"Alas!"
The Great Elder let out a long sigh, lowered his head and patted the bamboo slip in his hand, and said, "Forget it, it's okay! Tomorrow, the old man will go to the Law Enforcement Academy, and as long as Qin Ya is sure that he is not guilty, he will naturally be released." You go down first!"
"Yes!" He Jingyun was fearless, not only did he not leave, but he also returned to the practice room that He Tianyuan helped him build before, which was simply a neighbor with a tiger.
However, he was not worried.
A quarter of an hour later, he released his soul power to perceive it a little, and found that Great Elder He Tianyuan actually took his bamboo piece and began to cultivate, He Jingyun was even less worried, and blatantly began to condense the hammer and start refining the body again.
He Tianyuan was in his own practice room, concentrating on studying the bamboo slips.
Looking at it, the more he watched, the more obsessed he became, and the more he watched, the more he felt that he knew too little.
This small piece of bamboo even gave him a feeling of encompassing all things in the world.
"Awesome!" After reading it, he sighed unconsciously: "He Tianya, He Tianya, it is really extraordinary, and the experience left behind is enough for the old man to understand for half a lifetime." ”
Suddenly, he heard some hammer thuds, and muttered to himself, "What kind of kid is this, what the hell is this?"
I just wanted to get up and look at it, but when my eyes fell on the bamboo slip, my attention was suddenly attracted again, and I forgot the sound of hammering just now.
It wasn't that he didn't think that He Jingyun would make a ghost in the bamboo slips, but when he saw the contents of those bamboo slips, he completely dispelled this idea.
It's like a schoolboy who suddenly picks up a book of advanced math and gives it to his own erudite teacher.
The teacher was puzzled when he saw the math problem above, but no matter what, he would not doubt or believe that an elementary school dog could tamper with a high school math textbook.
However, in fact, it is: the body of that elementary school dog contains the soul of a mathematics doctoral supervisor!
