Zheng Xiangzhi stood proudly in the main hall of the Sword Hall.

And on that seat, Zheng Lingyin was sitting upright looking at the sword in his hand.

Her face was grim, the kind of coldness that was difficult to see the slightest sadness and joy from beginning to end.

But Zheng Xiang knew that she should be in a good mood.

After all, she didn't blame herself for almost making another mistake on her errand.

Even after returning to the Sword Holding Hall, he instructed himself to bandage the wounds on his body, but with this, Zheng Xiang knew that Zheng Lingyin was very satisfied with this spirit sword.

If I think about it, I won't pursue his mistakes in the matter of the mountain and water ditch, and I can't say that I can still be rewarded.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiang's heart was very hot, and the scars on his face no longer seemed to be so painful at the moment.

At this moment, it was past noon, Zheng Xiang's eyes rolled, and he was about to step forward to say something to please Zheng Lingyin.

"Come out!"

"The one who holds the sword hall! Come out for me! ”

"We want to see Zheng Lingyin! We want to see Zheng Xiang! ”

And at this moment, there was a sudden noisy noise outside the Sword Holding Hall.

Zheng Lingyin, who was sitting on the high platform, raised his gaze on the sword in his hand and looked outside the sword hall.

Zheng Xiang is the best at observing words and feelings.

He knew that for a martial artist like Zheng Lingyin, who was obsessed with swordsmanship, his love for swords had long been beyond the ordinary.

She didn't think she liked it, and when she was looking at the sword, she was disturbed.

"What's going on?!" Therefore, Zheng Xiang hurriedly looked outside the house before Zheng Lingyin spoke, and asked loudly to the disciples outside the house.

When the disciples guarding outside the house heard this, before they could take a step to check in front of the Sword Pavilion, several disciples rushed from there.

"That'...... That guy is here again! One of the disciples looked at Zheng Xiang for the first time and said with a strange expression.

……

After all, the Sword Hall is the law enforcement place of Tianhang City.

In such a place, ordinary people are the most afraid, and the people who see the Sword Hall on weekdays have to hide from afar, lest they be caught by the other party and be arrested.

Obviously, there aren't too many people who can come here on their own initiative.

And there are very few people who can be called big guys and add the word "and" before the word "come".

At first, Zheng Xiang thought that Chu Qingxiao was coming to make trouble, but when he came to the gate of the Sword Hall, he saw a young man with a slightly arched body standing in the crowd, and a young man supported by a woman with a good face. Behind the two of them stood ragged people, shouting incessantly to see Zheng Lingyin and Zheng Xiang.

Although in Zheng Xiang's heart, he has never taken the outer gate and miscellaneous disciples in Tianhang City in his eyes.

But with hundreds of people in front of him, as well as a large number of spectators attracted by this movement, the scene was still a little bluffing.

But at this moment, Zheng Xiang's face, who saw this scene, did not show any anger.

He only frowned slightly, and walked over to the arched young man.

"What are you doing again? It's not that it's time to fight, and the money that should be paid has been paid, so why do you regret it? ”

"That's not possible, these are all included in the file of the Sword Holding Hall, but there is no room for maneuver!"

The two people who are the first are naturally Zhu Quan and Meng Jin.

Zhu Quan, who had eaten a sturdy twenty court canes in the morning, was obviously not healed, his face was slightly pale, and his body was also slumped, making it difficult to stand up straight.

Facing Zheng Xiang's inquiry, he said with a smile: "My lord misunderstood. ”

"What happened in the morning, I was willing to be punished, everything is in line with the rules of the Heavenly Hanging Mountain, and it is also in line with the law of Dayu, there is nothing wrong with it, how can I regret it?"

After knowing that his hundreds of taels of silver were not at risk of being recovered, Zheng Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he frowned again, looked at the huge crowd of people behind him, and asked, "Then what are you bringing these people for?" ”

"This morning, Lord Zheng accepted my case, handled things fairly, reasoned and law-abiding, and after I went back, I told the residents of Shanshuigou about it, and they were all greatly moved, and decided to submit the case to Lord Zheng and ask Lord Zheng to accept it!" Zhu Quanyan said.

Zheng Xiangyan's face couldn't help but show a little joy when he heard this, and he was very useful for Zhu Quan's praise.

"It's all trivial." He said happily, his eyes swept over the people behind Zhu's body, and asked with a little emotion: "Why, many of you have committed crimes and come to be punished?" ”

He asked like this, secretly thinking in his heart, no wonder these disciples of the Hanging City, there may not be a single person who can enter the inner gate.

I have only heard of those who have escaped their crimes, and where have people rushed to be punished.

is so stupid, it's no wonder that it is difficult to make progress in cultivation.

"Your Excellency misunderstood." Zhu Quan said with a smile.

"We are not here to be punished."

"It's to sue Lord Zhu and the Liuhuan Peak behind Lord Zhu."

"Well said, well said." Zheng Xiang nodded subconsciously, but the next moment, his brows were furrowed, and he was stunned: "What did you say!?" ”

Zhu Quan repeated with a smile on his face: "I said, we came here to sue Lord Zhu and the Liuhuan Peak behind Lord Zhu. ”

Zheng Xiang's heart couldn't help but condense.

This is not a good sign, after all, just two days ago, someone also came to the guard of the Sword Hall, and that guard, now the body has been transported back to Qingquan Peak.

Zheng Xiang took a step back vigilantly.

"You...... What do you want to do? Want to storm the Sword Hall? Do you want to create a hanging mountain? He asked loudly, a look of panic on his face.

Several disciples brought by him also became alert, and returned to the Sword Holding Hall one after another, and after a while, dozens of disciples poured out from the gate of the Sword Holding Hall, they drew their swords and stared at everyone with nervous expressions.

With the addition of these disciples, Zheng Xiang's waist stiffened a little.

"I warn you, don't mess around! Otherwise, what will be the consequences of starting to do it, you better think clearly! ”

Zheng Xiang's intimidation did not deter anyone, but Zhu Quan took a step forward under the support of Meng Jin, he looked at Zheng Xiang and said: "Lord Zheng, we people have never worn swords, and we have never used a sword. ”

"Three to ...... We follow the laws of Dayu and the rules of the Heavenly Hanging Mountain, and come to the sword hall to avenge our grievances, and we are all in line with the rules, so why do we talk about it? ”

Zheng Xiang was dumbfounded by Zhu Quan's words, but he still said vigilantly: "That...... You go back first, the Sword Hall will not accept the case today! ”

Zhu Quan said: "According to the regulations of Tianhang Mountain, the Sword Hall is a place to administer justice for the outer gate and miscellaneous disciples, as long as it is a case submitted by us, the Sword Hall has no right to refuse." ”

"If you really dare to do this, you will be on duty that day, and you will be fined 30 court rods for dereliction of duty, and you will be executed in public to set the record straight!"

"Is Lord Zheng ready?"

Zheng Xiang was stunned again, he looked at the more and more spectators gathered around him, he has cultivation, and the disciples in the door are all his own people, and he really hit the thirty boards, but it is not in the way, but this person is lost big.

"Why should this deacon listen to you! What are you! He asked rhetorically, gritting his teeth.

Zhu Quan said with a calm face: "Lord Zheng is not right in what he said, he didn't listen to me, but listened to the law of Dayu!" ”

At the same time as he said this, there was a golden streamer under his eyes that flowed faintly, and some kind of vague qi also circulated at this time, spreading in all directions.

The righteous spirit of Ling Ran wrapped in that voice seemed to infect the surrounding spectators, and the gazes of the spectators looking at Zheng Xiang also became angry at this time.

Zheng Xiang also felt the atmosphere that everyone was gradually getting wrong, and he frowned.

At this moment, Zheng Lingyin is in the Sword Hall, if things are out of control and disturb the eldest lady of Liuhuan Peak, when the trust that has been won by meritorious service is finally obtained, I am afraid that most of it will have to disappear again.

He gritted his teeth, weighed the gains and losses in his heart, and secretly thought that although Zhu Quan came here, he must have his own basis, but it seems that what he has done at present, although it may conflict with the laws and laws of the door, whether it is the land reclaimed by the mountain and water ditch or the retrieval of the spirit sword, it is also based on the law and the door rules, and it seems that there is no possibility of being completely caught by the other party.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiangyi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I want to see, what are you going to sue me!? ”

Zhu Quan, who received such a response, immediately stepped forward with the support of Meng Jin, took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, and handed it over: "This is the paper, adults look at it." ”

At the same time, when Zheng Xiang looked at the paper, he also said to the surrounding spectators: "I think everyone knows that a few days ago, Lord Zheng Xiang took the disciples of Liuhuan Peak to wreak havoc in the mountain and water valley, injuring the residents of the mountain and water valley and destroying the property of the residents of the mountain and water valley. ”

On that day, Lord Zheng injured a total of 321 residents, 26 of whom were seriously injured, and another 216 of them signed up for the inner door selection two months later, and the injuries would delay their cultivation and training process, invalidate the registration fees they paid, and make it difficult for them to participate in the selection in the best condition, causing their year's hard work to be in vain. According to the law of Dayu, Lord Zheng and Liuhuan Peak need to pay them 57,220 taels of silver! ”

"At the same time, Lord Zheng damaged a total of 667 houses, covering a total area of 11 acres."

"According to the law of Dayu and the land price of Tianhang City, Lord Zheng and Liuhuan Peak need to pay for their reconstruction, a total of 146,500 taels of silver!"

……

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.

Of course, they saw that Zhu Quan's comer was not good, and as ordinary people, they were also happy to see the Sword Hall deflated, but they never imagined that Zhu Quanneng Lion opened his mouth and asked for nearly 200,000 silver taels in compensation.

Zheng Xiang, although he expected that Zhu Quan would be difficult to deal with, he also did not expect that the other party would dare to say such a thing.

More than 200,000 taels of silver, placed in other realms, are enough to buy a small town, and Zhu Quan's claim amount is already sky-high!

He looked at the accusations listed on the paper, and suddenly his face turned cold, he tore one of them apart, and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! It's nonsense! ”

Zhu Quan was not annoyed, but said: "My lord, what needs to be reminded is that damaging the paper is a felony for obstructing law enforcement, and the family property should be confiscated according to the law, and the court staff will be fifty!" ”

"But I understand the feelings of adults, so I have a lot of portions for adults."

As he said this, several people from the Spiegel Terrace stepped forward behind him, one of them handed Zheng Xiang another copy of the paper, while the rest of them walked up to the spectators next to him and handed them a copy of the paper in their hands, so that they could circulate it to each other.

Zheng Xiang's face turned pale: "What is the difference between this idiot's dream-like paper and not, you don't use this matter to bluff me!" ”

"Lord Zheng! The pleadings are our demands as victims, you can disagree, but they must be included in the final verdict file, whether you think it is reasonable or unreasonable, but this is a necessary process for the trial of the case, Lord Zheng, as the guard of the sword hall this month, will not even understand this truth, right? Zhu Quan asked rhetorically at this time.

Zhu Quan's words are reasonable and well-founded, and Zheng Xiang is difficult to refute, especially under the gaze of so many people, it is even more difficult to tear his face.

He gritted his teeth and took the paper again, and said, "Good! ”

"Then I'll see what tricks you're up to!"

"I went to Shanshuigou that day to expel the displaced people, according to the rules, I have notified the people of Shanshuigou three days in advance, but the people of Shanshuigou are unreasonable, occupy the land, do not want to relocate, and cooperate with the people of Mingjingtai to obstruct law enforcement, as the guard of the Sword Hall, I have the right to violently evict them, and at the same time demolish those temporary shantytowns!"

"If someone resists, there will naturally be disputes, and there will be injuries, but they disobey the rules and laws first!"

Zheng Xiang also saw the current scene, if he couldn't come up with some real evidence, I was afraid it would be difficult to end it, so he said so on the spot.

"Lord Zheng is wrong again!"

Zhu Quan said, he looked a little weak, after all, he had almost no cultivation in his body, and he ate twenty court canes solidly, which was not a trivial matter for him.

There was almost no blood on his face, but the words he said were full of anger, with a convincing Ling Ran righteousness.

"I must repeat once again what I said to the adults in the mountain ditch."

"The law of Dayu has long stipulated that if the fiefs belonging to various princes and sects are expanded, the boundaries included after the expansion, if there are already residents, the right to use the land belongs to the aborigines! In addition, due to the trouble caused by the expansion of the city, it is necessary to give some compensation. ”

"In the past ten years, Tianhang City has expanded dozens of times, this place is called Shanshui Gully, before this, it was just a ravine, at that time, there were outer disciples to build shanties in this place, for shelter, it is reasonable that although this place is within the scope of Tianhang City, but Tianhang City has no right to use it!"

"Therefore, the so-called expulsion of the people of Shanshuigou in accordance with the rules and laws of the gate is a groundless thing!"

In the face of Zhu Quan's remarks, the unprepared Zheng Xiang was beaten by him and had no power to fight back.

It's like everyone who fights with someone, no matter whether they win or lose, after they go back, they will secretly think about how to fight back at that time, so that they can appear more lethal.

Zheng Xiang also thought about this, and he immediately said: "Even if what you said is true, Dayu really has such a law, but how can you prove that you have lived here before the expansion of Tianhang City?" ”

In his opinion, this is an unassailable question.

After all, it is impossible to provide evidence to support this kind of thing, and the only thing that can be used as evidence is only human evidence, but human evidence has no physical evidence as a basis, and he can invalidate this evidence on the grounds of collusion of interests!

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiang also showed a little smile on his face, he sneered and looked at the large number of residents of the mountain ditch behind Zhu's body, and asked, "You can't testify for yourself, right?" ”

"According to the law of Dayu, the person concerned cannot be used as a witness." Zhu Quan took over at this time: "Lord Zheng doesn't seem to understand the law at all. ”

As he spoke, he said, "But adults can rest assured that Zhu Quan also understands the law and will not speak untruthful words. ”

"I said that Shanshuigou is the boundary of the residents of Shanshuigou, then there must be evidence!"

Zheng Xiang saw Zhu Quan's confident posture, and suddenly felt a little drumming in his heart, but he still said stiffly: "What evidence can you have?" ”

Zhu Quan said: "As early as before the expansion of Tianhang City, the so-called jurisdiction tax was collected from the surrounding land boundaries in violation of regulations, which is the rent that our residents usually call in the valley. ”

"Five cents of silver per centime a month!"

"The expansion of Tianhang City to Shanshui Valley was seven years ago, and this jurisdiction tax began to be collected eleven years ago, and it was included in the city chronicles of Tianhang City and the early logs of the Sword Hall! Doesn't this prove the fact that before the expansion of Tianhang City, the mountain and water ditch were inhabited? ”

After saying this, Zhu Quan took out a copy of the city chronicles from his arms, threw it heavily on the ground, and looked at the surrounding people at the same time and said: "The Tianhang City City Chronicles will be issued in five years, this is the version three years ago, you can buy and watch it yourself, and you will know whether what you say is true or false!" ”

Zheng Xiangyan's face turned pale when he heard this.

Although he didn't read it in person, he saw that Zhu Quan was so confident, and he didn't dare to fake it in such a thing, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Hu ...... Nonsense......" His voice trembled a little, and his tone had long since lost his certainty.

Zhu Quan didn't pay attention to Zheng Xiang at this moment, he gestured slightly to Meng Jin beside him, and Meng Jin, who understood his thoughts, helped him turn around at this moment and face the large number of people in Tianhang City behind him.

"Everyone!"

"My name is Zhu Quan!"

"Tianhang City Shanshui Ditch people! At the same time, he is also a person in Spiegel! ”

"I am here today, not only to seek justice for the people of Shanshuigou, but also to tell you that what I just said is not uncommon since the expansion of Tianhang City over the years, if you have the same experience, you can come to me at any time, I am willing to seek justice for you!"

"The fiefdom of Tianhang Mountain is true when Tianhang City is true, and most of you are also disciples of Tianhang Mountain."

"But before that, Tianhang Mountain is also white, and Tianhang City is not good, they are all the realms under the rule of the Dayu Imperial Court, and you are all my Dayu's people!"

"We deserve to be protected by the law of the Great Dead!"

"Today, this is just the beginning!"

Zhu Quan's words were loud, and the people around him also raised their eyes to look at Zhu Quan at this time, and their eyes also flashed with scorching brilliance.

This is no longer just because they empathize with the residents of Shanshuigou as people who have been oppressed by the Heavenly Hanging Mountain, but at the same time, they feel that if today's incident can be successful, it means that a large number of them who have suffered the same thing may also receive the same huge amount of compensation.

When things are closely related to their own interests, and it happens that this matter can also make them stand on the moral high ground, their enthusiasm for this matter will increase sharply several times.

Zheng Xiang also understands the situation at the moment, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that not only will the Liuhuan Peak not be able to deal with it, but even if the other peaks are affected, I am afraid that he will also be dissatisfied with him.

This is not a question of whether the future is still there, but something that is very likely to cost him his life.

Zheng Xiang, who is here at the age of this year, is full of souls.

He hurriedly said: "Don't bewitch the people there, this kind of thing needs to be never admitted by Tianhang City, in fact, you can be taken seriously by reciting a few words of the law!?" ”

Zhu Quan asked rhetorically: "If the law is useless, then according to Lord Zheng, what does it mean that Tianhang Mountain can override the Dayu Imperial Court?" ”

This rhetorical question can be described as a heart-wrenching remark, which made Zheng Xiang suddenly feel as calm as a cicada, and he didn't know how to respond at all.

Zhu Quan did not continue to embarrass him, but continued to speak: "Moreover, Tianhang City has actually admitted this matter a long time ago. ”

"Huh?" Zheng Xiangyi frowned and said, "How is it possible!?" ”

Zhu Quan's face showed a brighter smile there, and at the same time, there was a bit more meaning in that smile.

He slowly took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, and there were some handwriting on the letterhead, and at the same time, the official seal of the Sword Hall was pressed down.

The ink on the official seal is still a little bright red, and it seems that it has only been printed not long ago, Zheng Xiang looked at it vigilantly, and secretly felt that this thing was a little familiar.

"This is the receipt that Lord Zheng gave me when he confiscated my family property after punishing me early this morning!"

"I've printed a lot of copies, please take a closer look with me!"

Zhu Quan held it high and said to the people around him, and the people from the Spiegel Terrace that he brought with him also began to distribute rubbings of this receipt in the crowd.

Seeing that everyone had gotten the rubbings of the receipts, Zhu Quan said immediately.

"Everyone, please see, I was fined and my family property was converted into silver, a total of three hundred and seventy-six taels."

"Some of these sundries are worth only twenty taels, and the rest is the three centimeters of land that my father left for me!"

"According to the market price of Tianhang City, one centimeter of land is worth nearly one hundred and twenty taels of silver and three miles of land, and then counting all kinds of miscellaneous items, only then was three hundred and seventy-six taels of silver confiscated!"

"And these are clearly written on this list of receipts, let me ask Lord Zheng, if Tianhang City doesn't admit this, then why did you collect such a huge fine from me!?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Quan paused, turned his head at this time, looked at Zheng Xiang, and asked loudly.

"And why don't you raise objections when I submit this list?"

……

Meng Jin looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment.

Today, when she saw Zhu Quan early in the morning, she was very true about Zhu Quan's series of actions in front of the Sword Hall.

She didn't know why this guy didn't cherish the life given by his father, and went to the door to beg for a beating.

But it was indeed she who received the commission from Zhu Renzhao at the beginning, and she always felt that she should do something, so after separating from Chu Qingxiao and others, she deliberately went to see Zhu Quan.

I meant to wake up this bastard.

But when I saw him, Zhu Quan had just bandaged his wounds, and it was said that his buttocks were beaten so that he couldn't even lie down.

But under such a serious injury, the other party looked very excited.

Puzzled, she asked him what he was happy about.

The other party said something inexplicable: "No matter how big the lake is, as long as you throw a pebble into it, it is enough to stir up layers of ripples on the surface of the lake." ”

"And now, I've found the stone!"

"I will set off the waves of the Heavenly Hanging City, and I will pry this evil beast that stands in the southern frontier of Dayu!"

Of course, Meng Jin felt that he was talking about a dream.

She didn't understand why the guy in front of her was so persistent in wanting to compete with Tianhang Mountain, even if Tianhang Mountain did do many evil things, but such a superhero was not something that ordinary people like him could shake at all.

But now.

Meng Jin suddenly changed his mind.

Zhu Quan is not so stupid.

On the contrary, he is very smart, and his seemingly stupid actions are only to confuse the enemy.

And now, he holds the stone that can make waves in the sky again.

Meng Jin didn't think that he would definitely be able to shake such a powerful Tianhang Mountain.

But as an ordinary person, it is already a great thing to let an existence like Tianhang Mountain be stirred......

……

Zhu Quan questioned, making Zheng Xiang's face turn pale in an instant.

In his heart, he didn't have as much emotion as Meng Jin.

At this moment, all that surged through his body was a thick sense of fear......

What Zhu Quan said is an ironclad piece of evidence.

An ironclad proof that the residents of Shanshuigou have the right to use the land in Shanshuigou.

With this ironclad evidence, it means that Liuhuan Peak has lost the vast land of Shanshuigou and lost millions or even tens of millions of silver coins.

At the same time, it also means that when the Heavenly Hanging City was expanded before, there was also such a mistake in the land realm that was embezzled, and if a large-scale claim was issued from the people, all the divine peaks would face great trouble.

And the culprit of all this was just because he was greedy for a moment and accepted Zhu Quan's fine.

What is now in front of Shenfeng is nothing more than two paths.

The first is to pay hundreds of thousands of indemnities initiated by various residents.

Second......

It was the person who blamed all this mistake on the person who took the money and caused the accident.

In his mind, Zheng Xiang put himself in the position of the peak master of the Divine Peak, and he couldn't think of half of the possibility that these peak masters would pay a huge amount of compensation for themselves.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiang's mind was already full of fear, and the fear of the catastrophe enveloped him, making him feel as if he was in a cold kiln......

"Therefore, on my paper, the compensation for the damaged eleven acres of land is also calculated based on this, and there is absolutely no blackmail, Lord Zheng should also understand, right?" Zhu Quan's voice came again.

But at this time, Zheng Xiang couldn't listen to half a sentence at all, just stood in place in a daze.

Seeing this, Zhu Quan raised his eyebrows, looked past Zheng Xiang to look at the many disciples behind him, and said, "It seems that your Lord Zheng is no longer able to deal with this matter, so please go and invite Miss Zheng who is still in the mansion for me." ”

"Thinking that as the future helmsman of Liuhuan Peak, she should be able to handle this matter!"
