After a period of chaos, Ruian drove everyone in the martial arts hall into the martial arts hall, while Count Ahan reluctantly asked most of his men to go back first, leaving only a dozen of his most capable men with him.
"Ryan, Earl Ahan, you two come here." After the onlookers were driven away and only the city guard soldiers were left on the scene, the city lord yelled at the two of them, making Ruian and Earl Ahan tremble in their hearts.
.
"What are you two doing? Don't you know that this is a city? Don't you know that the impact of doing this will be very bad?" the city lord cursed, showing no favoritism.
"What an injustice! Lord City Lord, I didn't cause trouble! Early in the morning, Count Yahan and his men wanted to kill me. I was just passively defending." Ruian once again spoke before Count Yahan, seizing the opportunity, and immediately defeated Yahan.
The count was furious.
"You...you are talking nonsense. It was you who killed Troxi, our family's seventh-level swordsman, and that's why I came to take revenge on you." Earl Ahan was a little angry.
"I didn't kill Troxi. Who said I killed Troxi? Do you have evidence?" Ryan immediately countered. He must deny killing Troxi, otherwise he will be in a disadvantageous situation.
"I saw with my own eyes that you were the murderer."
"Joke! Didn't you just say that the murderer is masked? How can you clearly see the murderer's face?"
Immediately, the two began to argue anxiously, which was full of gunpowder.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up, both of you, or I will punish both of you." The city lord was angered again and yelled loudly, which immediately made Ruian and Earl Ahan shut up and dare not speak anymore.
After a pause, the city lord controlled his emotions a little, calmed himself down, and then started to think and organize his thoughts. After a while, he asked Count Ahan: "Count Ahan, you said that your family's seventh-level swordsman Troxi
Was he killed?"
"Yes, Lord City Lord. He was assassinated by Ryan last night." When Earl Ahan mentioned this, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Nonsense! I didn't leave the martial arts gym at all last night, how could I go and assassinate Troxi?" Ryan couldn't help but interrupt the city lord's question. He had to interrupt, otherwise he wouldn't look like a person who had been wronged.
performance.
The city lord frowned, but he still controlled his temper. He said to Ruian: "Rian, don't worry, I will deal with it impartially."
Suddenly Ruian nodded and stopped talking. He was very sensible and knew that giving the city lord a good impression at this time was the most important thing.
Later, the city lord asked Count Ahan: "You just said that you saw Ryan killing Troxi with your own eyes, so did you really see it was Ryan?"
Ahan wanted to answer yes, but at this time, most of his anger was gone. He realized that he could not deceive the city lord, otherwise it would be very bad if he was found out. Moreover, the city lord could easily see through his lies. He only needed to ask a few of his men.
As long as anything is found to be different, it will prove that he is lying. Then no matter what Earl Ahan says, he will not be able to convince the city lord and he will not be able to ask the city lord to uphold justice.
So, after thinking for a while, Earl Ahab could only answer truthfully: "The murderer was masked at the time. But I think his figure and appearance look very much like Ryan's."
The city lord nodded, and then began to ask in detail about the details of Troxi's murder, such as the strength of the murderer, what weapon he used, what method he used to kill Troxi, whether the murderer had fought with anyone, the circumstances of Troxi's death, etc.
and other details. The city lord has rich experience in handling cases.
, so he asked Count Yahan from a very professional perspective and asked him everything about what happened last night. After asking Count Yahan, the city lord indeed called several guards who were present at the time and asked some details again until he confirmed Yahan.
Earl Han has not lied so far.
Ruian was listening silently to this process, his scalp was numb. He felt that the city lord was indeed experienced, but he couldn't help but worry that the city lord would find out that he was the murderer. Then it would be difficult.
Done.
Finally, after asking Earl Ahan, the city lord turned to Ruian: "Rian, where were you last night?"
"I have been practicing in seclusion in the martial arts hall last night because after yesterday's duel, my fighting spirit was very depleted, so I had to retreat to recover my fighting spirit." Ruian did not hesitate and answered immediately, making it impossible for anyone to detect any signs of Ruian lying.
"Who can prove it?"
Ruian thought for a while and said: "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, I don't think anyone can prove it, because when I am in seclusion, other people are strictly prohibited from disturbing me."
At this time, before the city lord could speak, Earl Ahan rushed to the side and said: "There is no evidence to prove it, which means you are the murderer."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no rebuttal from Ruian, but the city lord scolded softly: "Count Ahan, I didn't ask you anything, please don't interrupt."
Immediately Count Ahan shut his mouth, but his expression became very ugly.
If anyone is watching, you can see that the city lord has different attitudes towards Ruian and Earl Ahan. When Ruian interrupted, the city lord did not let Ruian speak, but his attitude was gentler. But once he arrived at Ahan,
When the count interrupted, the city lord was very rude. Before today, the city lord's attitude towards Count Yahan was very polite, but today it suddenly became worse. Could it be that there are two level 7 swordsmen in the Yahan family?
Upon death, will the city lord's attitude change immediately?
Next, the city lord asked Ruian a few more questions, but he was still unable to determine whether Ruian had been in the martial arts gym last night.
Just when the city lord was hesitant, Ruian decided to help the city lord analyze, so he said: "Sir City Lord, Count Ahan just said that the murderer used fire attribute fighting spirit to kill Troxi, but I am an earth attribute swordsman.
This proves that I am not the murderer."
"Earl Ahan just said that the murderer's figure is very similar to mine, but my figure is too ordinary. Eight out of ten big swordsmen outside are similar to me. If we judge me on this basis,
It's the murderer, that's just ridiculous."
"The most important thing is that Troxi of the Yahan family is said to be a level 7 peak swordsman, and is only a little short of becoming an 8th level swordsman. With his strength, he can be assassinated. It can be seen that
The murderer's strength is at least a level 7 swordsman. However, I am only a level 6 swordsman now, how can I possibly be able to kill Troxi?"
"I'm sure that Count Ahan can't find the real murderer, and then takes the opportunity to slander me as the murderer and wants to take the opportunity to kill me. So I ask the Lord of the City to investigate carefully and clear my name."
Ryan talked very calmly, and several of the reasons he gave seemed quite reasonable. What’s even better is that when Ryan assassinated Troxi before, in order to pursue maximum lethality, he chose a fire magic scroll.
This is a good way to hide his identity so that people can't tell that Ryan is the murderer.
After hearing Ruian's several reasons, the city lord couldn't help but nodded, but he didn't say anything.
Count Ahan on the side saw that the situation was not right and immediately retorted: "What you said are all lies. You have the greatest hatred with our family. If you are not the murderer, who else is the murderer?"
In response, Ruian immediately scoffed and said: "What a joke! Haven't you, the Yahan family, offended so many people? Think about it, how many people have your Yahan family offended over the years? Besides, I have grudges against you.
It cannot be proven that I am the murderer. Maybe someone else pretended to be me and assassinated Troxi, so that some ignorant people would think that I was the murderer."
As he talked, Ruian had an illusion, and even he somewhat believed that he was not the murderer.
Being scolded by Ryan for being ignorant, Count Ahan didn't feel anything at all. He was just so angry that he almost jumped up due to Ryan's explanation. He seemed to have nothing to say and just kept shouting: "It's you, it's you, no matter how quibly you are.
It’s no use.”
Count Ahan's roar made the soldiers guarding the perimeter look back frequently, looking very curious.
Ruian ignored Count Ahan at all, but looked at the city lord. At this moment, it didn't matter what Earl Ahan thought. The key was what the city lord thought. Once the city lord was on Ruian's side, then Ruian would have nothing to do with it.
None, but once the city lord favors Earl Ahan, Ruian will be in big trouble. However, judging from the look and performance of the city lord, it seems that he doesn’t like Earl Ahan very much, and with the two level 7 swords of the Ahan family
The division was killed, and the city lord seemed to be no longer polite to Count Ahan.
"That's enough, Count Ahan, please keep your noble demeanor and don't yell like a madman." Sure enough, the city lord scolded Count Ahan unceremoniously, which immediately calmed down Count Ahan.
Afterwards, the city lord thought for a moment and said to Count Ahan: "Count Ahan, if you cannot provide strong evidence to prove that Ryan is the murderer, then I can only declare that Ryan is innocent."
"Lord City Lord." Earl Ahan cried out very sadly. He really couldn't provide any strong evidence. If there was any, he would have already provided it, and he didn't have to wait until now. At this time, Earl Ahan's anger was replaced by a sad look.
Replaced by emotions, the world is in trouble
, two level 7 swordsmen of the Yahan family were killed, and they suddenly lost a strong support. As a result, the city lord who was originally very polite to the Yahan family, and even a little wary, suddenly changed his attitude 180 degrees.
He turned to support the more powerful Ruian.
This made Count Ahan feel deeply sad!
The city lord pretended not to see Earl Ahan's sad face and said directly: "Well, since you can't provide evidence, then I declare that Ruian is innocent. Also, I warn you, Earl Ahan, you will not be able to do so in the future.
Come and cause trouble for Ryan again."
After saying that, the city lord left directly, as if he didn't want to stay any longer, and he didn't seem to want to continue to get involved in the dispute between the two.
"Lord City Lord, this is very unfair!" Earl Ahan shouted towards the sky, but the City Lord seemed not to hear and ignored him at all.
Ryan on the side did not sympathize with Count Arhan at all at this moment. Instead, he laughed and said sarcastically: "Count Arhan, last year our family's Count Vic was assassinated, but no one paid attention to it. Now it's retaliation.
