Xiao Yang replied: "According to the report from the military division, that person was reporting to the head of the Ding Gong clan and several of Ding Gongzhu's senior brothers in the Qiaoshan Sect. There was no special information to convey, he was just informing Yeliang City about the matter."
The young minister asked again: "What do you think?"
Xiao Yang: "That means that if the other party gets the news and knows how to prepare in advance, the relevant clues may be wiped out, or someone may take the opportunity to escape."
Shaowu: "Then what should we do?"
Xiao Yang replied: "Whoever Ding Gongzhu wants to report to, he should be brought to the court. I didn't get the king's order before, so I couldn't arrest people in Xifeng City, but now if I publicly issue an order to arrest people, I'm afraid it will be leaked.
information."
Huwa interjected: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already sent people to capture the relevant people on the spot. It's almost time to come back now."
Just as he said this, the guard outside the door reported that Mr. Yang Hanling had arrived. Xiaoyang raised his head and saw a woman in yellow clothes walking into the hall, bowing to the young minister, Huwa and others. Huwa asked: "
How did things go?"
Yang Hanling replied: "According to your instructions, I have captured a group of Ding Gongzhu's brothers from the Qiaoshan Sect."
Huwa: "Have you ever interrogated me first?"
Yang Hanling: "I have used some torture methods to clarify the results. Three years and six months ago, on the eve of the master leading an army to take Hongjincheng without a fight, four monks from the Qiaoshan Sect arrived at Hongjincheng.
In this area. At that time, Wufuqiu ordered the mountains to be closed, but the Nanhuang demon clan was not on guard, and they went to and from the mountains and the city walls as usual.
The four of them met Anan, a woman from the snake pattern tribe, and followed her to a secluded and uninhabited place, kidnapped her, and took her back to the Bashi Kingdom during the chaos. The snake girl refused to yield and suffered many humiliations and tortures. Later, they returned to the Qiaoshan Sect.
The snake girl was hidden in the cave, and was known by his senior brother Ding Gongzhu. Ding Gongzhu wanted to get the snake girl, so he came up with a way to pretend to be a stranger and buy her from the murderer.
The snake girl had no idea where the four assailants who held her hostage came from. She also didn’t know their relationship with Ding Gongzhu, and Ding Gongzhu did indeed pay money to the four junior brothers. The snake girl’s name was not originally Anan.
After being kidnapped, he named himself Anan, which probably means he missed the southern wilderness and was unable to return.
Ding Gong noticed the snake girl and often whipped her at first. Later, he showed some kindness and kindness. Anan could not escape and finally accepted her fate. She was watched by Ding Gong as a forbidden concubine. She had no chance to contact outsiders. In these years, except for relatives in the house, she had no one.
Outsiders have seen her, so the matter is unknown."
Huwa: “Where are the four monks?”
Yang Hanling: "I have abandoned my cultivation and brought them back to Yeliang City. As for the related clan members of the Ding Gong clan. They cannot escape, so the city lord can order them to be brought to the hall."
The Lord of Xiaoyang City hurriedly said: "I have been authorized by the monarch to send an order to Xifeng City to bring the relevant persons of the Ding Gong family to the case as soon as possible."
Panhu interjected: "Chengjiao's responsibility is to capture the murderer and will not interfere in the affairs of the cultivating sect. But after this happened, Wufu Qiu can't let go of the Qiaoshan Sect. As a disciple of Wufu Qiu, we can't either
Let Master and the others worry about it, right?"
The young minister muttered: "Over the Qiaoshan Sect. I will order General Beidao to take action and destroy his sect in the name of Wufuqiu's disciples... For matters in the country, it depends on how Xiaoyang can verify the truth in public. Mr. Li Zheng
How is the verdict pronounced?"
Huwa added: "There is another case, let's try it first that day. Don't bother Mr. Li Zheng, let the Lord Xiaoyang decide the case."
Of course he was talking about the case of the long ears and the velvet. Everyone's expressions were a little weird. Mr. Peng Keng had just returned home. Why did he let his servants rob him? Those two monsters really don't have eyes! Sheep Hanling
He coughed and said: "Master, Fujigane and Fujika want to see you. I want to apologize to you in person."
Huwa said with a straight face: "Did you tell them that I was the one who complained?"
Yang Hanling: "I didn't say it, they guessed it themselves."
Huwa snorted and said: "They are not stupid. They can guess that it is me... In this case, they should also understand what I want to do. There is no need to meet me in private for the time being. See you in court."
Panhu also coughed and said, "Senior brother, in fact, it's not Tengjin and Tenghua's fault. If you do this, they will be frightened."
Huwa: "If you don't teach me a lesson, wouldn't it be even worse?"
…
Within a few days, news spread about what happened in Yeliang City. It was said that Xiaoyang City's chief judge, Ding Gongzhu, had obtained the authorization from the monarch, and actually brought related people of the Ding Gong clan from Xifeng City to Yeliang City.
The city is in ruins. There is another case that attracts quite a lot of attention, that is, two gentlemen from Lord Peng Keng's house were accused of robbing the city and murdering people.
Eight days later, the square in front of the city lord's palace was packed to the brim. There were guards forming a cordon in the lobby to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the chaos. People were allowed to watch when the city lord came to the court to ask questions, but today's visit
There are too many people.
The Lord of Xiaoyang City was very worried about the safety of the monarch, but the Shaowu himself insisted on letting the people watch. Xiaoyang sat in the hall, and there were two other seats beside the table. The one on the left was the monarch, the Shaowu, and the one on the right was Mr. Peng Keng.
Huwa, there is a woman in a yellow shirt standing behind the young minister. Yang Hanling's main responsibility is of course to secretly hold the artifact to protect the young minister. She also has another task, which is to use her spiritual thoughts to spread what happens in the hall to the outside.
.
There were too many people coming, and most of the people couldn't squeeze into the lobby. The Shaowu arranged for a lot of loud voices in the square. After receiving the report from Yang Hanling's spiritual mind, these people promptly reported the situation in the hall to the people.
Preach.
Xiaoyang first tried the first case, and Long Er and Pilong were brought to the court. The two demon cultivators stayed in prison for ten days, but they did not suffer much and did not figure out what happened.
As soon as he saw the city lord, he shouted angrily: "Xiaoyang, what do you mean? Do you really think that Mr. Peng Keng's family is easy to bully? We just bought two things and the money has already been paid. How can we be slandered?"
Xiao Yang did it simply. He first ordered the government servant to beat the two demon cultivators to their knees with the torture stick, and then said: "It is Bashi Guoxue Zheng, Lord Peng Keng identified him in court ten days ago. The two of you are in Yeliang."
Robbery is carried out openly in the city, and the magic power is destroyed secretly, which can cause hidden injuries to occur in a few months, and it is difficult to save one's life."
The faces of the two demon cultivators suddenly turned yellow, and they looked at Huwa sitting by the lobby. Could he be Master Peng Keng? And the people in the square were in an uproar when they heard the loud voice relaying it. Chang Er and
As soon as Pi Rong came to court, he brought out Peng Keng's name to press others. He never expected that the person complaining would be Mr. Peng Keng.
The Lord of Xiaoyang City didn't talk much, and the Assistant Ming Li again recounted the story of Huwa's accusation, and finally asked: "Long ears, Pilong, are these situations true?"
The two demon cultivators were already dumbfounded. They looked at Huwa blankly and said, "You are my master, why do you..."
Huwa interrupted coldly: "I would like to ask why you did that and why you dared to do that? The person you bumped into that day was me, so you would be so panicked at this moment. If I were not Mr. Peng Keng, I would be the one today.
How?... I have been traveling for several years and have not returned. The house is run by Tengjin and Tenghua, but now someone is taking advantage of my power to do whatever they want. Lord City Lord, I want to pass on Tengjin and Tenghua to the court for hearing."
Tengjin and Tenghua had been here a long time ago. When they heard the summons, they hurried to the hall, knelt down with a bang and said: "Master, my disciple made a mistake and I apologize to you!"
They call themselves master Huwa, but they call themselves disciples, which is a bit unfair. Huwa said with a straight face: "Now that you are in the hall, you should first pay homage to the city lord...and then explain clearly why there are these two people in my house? They are relying on their power.
Were the murderers ordered by you?"
Tengjin and Tenghua also have titles, so they can go to the palace without bowing, but at this moment, they can't care. They immediately kowtowed to the city lord, and then explained the whole story. Long Whispering Velvet came from the land of the original Xiangshi Kingdom, and his industry is
A casual cultivator with some supernatural powers came here to seek refuge with Master Peng Keng after receiving guidance from an expert.
Tengjin and Tenghua took pity on his difficulty in practicing, so he left him behind. Now Huwa has a large fiefdom and a big family, and many things need to be taken care of by servants. Long-eared and Pilong are very smart and clever, not only have accurate vision, but also
Good at bargaining, Fujijin ordered them to be responsible for purchasing various daily necessities for the Pengshan fiefdom, and they put their talents to good use.
However, Fujigane and Fujika also often restrain their servants. The master is not at home, and the servants must not take advantage of their power and do anything that is detrimental to the master's reputation. The two demon cultivators had some scruples, so they chose to stay in a secluded alley.
He took action and robbed something, leaving behind a small piece of gold as a cover-up.
Tengjin and Tenghua still have some secrets that they have not told in public, but Huwa can also understand them. Long-eared and Pilong are demon cultivators. Tengjin and Tenghua feel that they have similar origins. It is not easy for demon cultivators to mix in the world and practice. At the same time, they are pregnant
He had cultivated his magical powers and was very efficient at doing things, so he was admitted to his residence.
After hearing this, Huwa sneered: "They are quite discerning, they spotted my things at a glance; they are also quite smart, they plundered the city walls, and they also knew how to leave a backhand to cover up their sophistry; they used such a small grain
Gold, you want to forcefully buy my bamboo stick and gourd. They are really good at bargaining. Although you warned them not to take advantage of my power to bully others, you did not carefully examine their character and behavior.
There's another thing you haven't understood. In this world, not only can you not bully others by using your power, but you can't bully others even if you don't use your power. What's really abominable about them doing this is not that they are ruining my reputation, but that they are harming innocent people in the world.
And you two stupid guys, you seem to know how to get by, but you don't think about it. My house needs two slaves who specialize in making profits. They go to the market to bargain with people and take advantage of others with their supernatural powers. Under the guise of Wei Peng.
Who dares to bargain with others in the name of doing things for the Keng family? This is already a sign of relying on power! If you become accustomed to using power, you will naturally develop the habit of bullying others.
You are monks. You can teach the secret method and develop magical powers under my sect. You also have the precious land of Pengshan as a training ground. What you can achieve in this life is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. You practice like this, but you do not hesitate to get what you get. You only know that your heart is insufficient. This is a big taboo.
!”
Tengjin and Tenghua nodded repeatedly, and they had secretly decided in their hearts that if they send people out to do anything in the future, if there is no necessary reason, they must never use the name of Lord Pengkeng's family again.
Huwa looked up at Xiaoyang again and said: "Lord City Lord, Tengjin and Tenghua are the housekeepers of my house. They behave badly. As the head of the house, I am also responsible. Please punish them." (To be continued)
