Chapter 247: It's a big fuss
When the shopkeeper saw the inspector asking, his heart trembled, and he secretly complained, if he told the truth and said it, he would definitely offend the third prince of Zhu, and I am afraid that there will be no less trouble in the future.
But if you don't report it truthfully, the dozens of pairs of eyes of the onlookers here are very bright, no matter how you say it, this is not beneficial, the shopkeeper is suddenly in a dilemma, and keeps wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
Seeing this, the envoy frowned and said, "Come on, let's talk quickly, is it so difficult to say a word?"
The shopkeeper suddenly scolded in his heart: "You treacherous villain, you know what's going on, and you still let me say it, if you don't bother to let me say it?"
For the matter here, this patrol envoy also has a rough idea in his heart, and at a glance, he knows that most of it is that Zhu Sangongzi who caused trouble first, otherwise who will have a problem with his brain and have nothing to provoke the son of the city lord, isn't this idle and uncomfortable?
But for the sake of the city lord's face, he couldn't directly say that it was Zhu Sangongzi's fault, even if it wasn't right, it couldn't be said from his mouth, in case it upset the city lord, but the gains outweighed the losses, so he found a shield and brought the shopkeeper out.
Ling Yifan watched the scene in front of him coldly, and also saw some meaning in the envoy's heart, obviously because of the relationship between the city lord and the third prince of Zhu.
When the third prince saw this, he immediately looked complacent, standing aside and watching the situation in front of him. Because he knows that this envoy will not do anything to him because of his old man's face, but the guy who hurt himself is afraid that he will be unlucky.
When the onlookers saw the patrol envoy and asked the shopkeeper, they couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts: "This family is naturally oriented towards their own people, regardless of whether Ling Yifan is reasonable or not, since he injured the third son of Zhu, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape punishment, after all, the other party's backstage is too hard." ”
The shopkeeper was already in a cold sweat at this time, and the eyes of the third prince of Zhu stared coldly at the shopkeeper, and the threat was self-evident, which meant, "You can do it yourself." Even if you tell the truth, my son will not do anything to me, at most it will be confined for a period of time, or punished. ”
Why didn't the shopkeeper understand this truth? After thinking about it again and again, he came up with a compromise solution. The two don't help each other. The vague response, even if he didn't offend the third prince of Zhu and didn't lie, was about to speak, when Ling Yifan, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.
I only heard Ling Yifan say coldly to the patrol envoy: "You don't have to ask him, what is this Zhu Sangongzi who has no rules in the Holy City." Provocation comes first. And he also claimed to be the son of the lord of the city, showing off his power here, if it weren't for the rules of the holy city, I would have killed this scum a long time ago! I hope that the Inspector can enforce the law impartially, make an example of a hundred people, and give a fair explanation to the thousands of monks who have come to participate in the Thousand Sects Competition. ”
Ling Yifan's words were unceremoniously, and he immediately pulled the third prince of Zhu and the envoy to the table, and spoke in the image and identity of the city lord. This made this patrol envoy very unhappy in his heart, he wanted to exonerate himself, but now he was dragged in by Ling Yifan in a few words.
The shopkeeper on the side was suddenly pardoned. In his heart, he was secretly grateful to Ling Yifan for relieving him, not that Ling Yifan was kind enough to help him, but if these words were said by others, he would be a little passive. Looking at the appearance of the patrol envoy, he obviously wanted to stay out of the matter, and was jealous of the third prince of Zhu, if this is the case, then how can there be his own justice and reasonableness.
Now that the matter has been done to this point, Ling Yifan doesn't care, what the patrol envoy is, the city lord's, it's all bullshit. You have to fight for your own rights and interests.
The envoy glanced at Ling Yifan, and said in a gloomy tone: "Hmph, dare to make trouble in the Holy City, and make clever words." I haven't asked you yet, what are you talking about? How can I believe it based on your words, and who can prove it? If you find it out, it will naturally give you justice. ”
Ling Yifan said disdainfully: "The Holy City is nothing more than that, say what I say? Dozens of pairs of eyes here can see clearly, is it all one side? You just don't dare to deal with that scum because of the city lord's face!"
The surrounding onlookers nodded secretly in their hearts, and Ling Yifan's words could be said to have reached everyone's hearts. But I only dare to mumble in my heart. No one dared to say this to Ling Yifan, so when Ling Yifan said it, everyone secretly cried out in their hearts.
The envoy was softly touched by Ling Yifan's words, and immediately shouted angrily: "Be bold, just for your presumptuous actions just now, I can punish you according to the rules of the Holy City." Immediately after, an infinite coercion was released against Ling Yifan.
The envoys of this holy city were all strong people in the late stage of Tongxuan and had comprehended the law, and the release of this coercion made Ling Yifan suddenly feel like several mountains pressing on his body.
Ling Yifan suddenly exercised the power of the law, barely resisting the coercion released by the patrol envoy, only to hear a crisp click, and the stone slab under Ling Yifan's feet cracked because of the huge pressure. You must know that the stone slabs here are not ordinary stone slabs, they are all reinforced by formations, and I saw Ling Yifan standing motionless in place, staring coldly at this holy city patrol.
All the onlookers, including Zhu Sangongzi on the side, didn't expect that this Ling Yifan would even dare to contradict the patrol envoy, is there any special background?
Seeing this, the patrol envoy Dahan sighed lightly in his heart, a Yuan Infant cultivator was able to hold on under his own coercion, and it was really a little different, seeing Ling Yifan's strong tone, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. There are not many people who dare to speak like this in the Holy City, if this kid either really has a background, or he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, Ling Yifan's words just now made him very unhappy.
The patrol envoy snorted coldly, immediately put away his momentum, and said in a deep voice: "No matter who is right or wrong, since you have broken the rules, no one will be punished, what is your name, report your name." ”
The patrol envoy put away the coercion, Ling Yifan only felt that his body was light, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still replied expressionlessly: "Ling Yifan!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding onlookers were stunned, and then there was an uproar, and they whispered to each other.
"He, he's Ling Yifan?"
"He is the Ling Yifan who was hunted down by the 'Blood Killing Order'?
"No wonder he is so domineering, he dares to cut off the hand of the third prince of Zhu, and dares to contradict the patrol..."
The crowd couldn't hold back any longer, and whispered among themselves, and all kinds of discussions sounded intermittently in the hall. When everyone learned that this young man who cut off Zhu Sangongzi's wrist and spoke righteously against the patrol envoy turned out to be the legendary Ling Yifan who was chased and killed by the 'Blood Killing Order' in the mortal period, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
A few years ago, the little mortal monk who was wanted by the 'Blood Killing Order' came out of nowhere half a year ago and wiped out half of the outer sects of the Xuanming Sect overnight. Suddenly, Ling Yifan, who was wanted by the 'Blood Killing Order' back then, appeared in front of the world again.
For this legendary figure who made a lot of noise in the cultivation world, everyone had heard of it, but they had never seen it, and now they didn't expect to meet it here, after being shocked, they were even more excited, and today they finally saw Ling Yifan's true face of Lushan.
The young man and the old man in the corner glanced at each other, they were both stunned, their hearts basically did not calm down in this day, the young man whispered to the old man in surprise: "I didn't expect him to be the rumored Ling Yifan!"
The patrol envoy heard the intermittent discussion of the people around him, and couldn't help but have a headache, Ling Yifan seemed to have vaguely heard these three words, looking at the appearance of everyone, it seemed that this guy was very unusual. But for a while, he couldn't remember that he was patrolling the Holy City, and he didn't know much about some things in the outside world, and he usually heard about it from others.
Although Ling Yifan's words just now were very unkind, which made him very unhappy in his heart, he glanced at the severed hand that rolled aside on the ground. Suddenly I was upset, the hand of the son of the city lord was cut off, and it was by no means a trivial matter.
As the saying goes, 'Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha,' this dog beating still depends on the owner, this Ling Yifan cut off Zhu Sangongzi's hand is a trivial matter. But for the city lord, it is not necessarily, this matter can be big or small, it stands to reason that Ling Yifan is absolutely impossible to spare.
But if Ling Yifan is disposed of indiscriminately, those onlookers will have a great impact on the reputation of the Holy Sect, and they can't kill everyone here.
Thinking of this, the patrol envoy secretly said in his heart: "This hot potato should be left to the city lord to solve by himself!"
Then he said to Ling Yifan, Zhu Sangongzi and the shopkeeper: "The three of you go to the City Lord's Mansion with me!"
When the shopkeeper saw that the inspector had dragged him in again, he was suddenly speechless in his heart... (To be continued.) )
