There was already a sea of people outside the city lord's mansion.
Almost all the powerful people who entered the Starting City in the past three days have gathered here.
Powerful men from the top forces in the God's Domain, as well as a group of strange creatures that came out of the restricted areas of the Era, became the focus of attention in the field.
"You see, that is the Drum of Injustice, one of the three great artifacts of the Starting City. This treasure is extremely magical, but it is a pity that the drumstick was lost, so that the treasure was covered in dust and no longer of use."
Someone whispered.
Many people have noticed that there is a huge sacred drum standing on the side of the gate of the city lord's palace.
The sacred drum is black in color, and the drum surface is covered with strange and complex secret patterns, giving off a mysterious luster under the skylight.
This is a grievance!
Inside the city lord's palace.
The chief priest, Fa Tianming, sat in the center seat with an expressionless face. No one knew what he was thinking.
The second chief priest, Qin Wenxiao, stood in the center of the hall with his hands clasped behind his back, talking to some high-ranking gods who had been invited.
These high-ranking gods are all characters from the top forces in the divine domain, and Ren Beiyou of the Sanqing Taoist Court is also among them.
They chatted and laughed happily with Qin Wenxiao, treating the chief priest Fa Tianming as if he was in the air, and ignored him.
The three chief priests, Liexingqu, sat alone in a corner with a gloomy face. Everyone could see that he was worried!
"Lao Lie, don't forget what I told you last night."
Suddenly, Qin Wenxiao walked up to Lie Xingqu and reminded him with a smile.
Lie Xingqu said nothing and responded with silence.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but wonder what Qin Wenxiao and Lie Xingqu had talked about last night, so that the three chief priests were allowed to sit there honestly.
Fa Tianming frowned and noticed something was wrong. He immediately said with a smile: "What did you two talk about last night? Can you tell me so that everyone can listen?"
Qin Wenxiao said calmly: "Just some small talk, don't bother the chief priest."
The words are very perfunctory and disrespectful!
An imperceptible sullenness appeared on Fa Tianming's eyebrows.
Immediately he smiled and said: "Forget it, I won't ask any more questions about what's going on between you, but let me start with my ugly words. No matter what happens in the City Lord's Mansion today, it needs to be handled in accordance with the rules!"
This is a knock on Qin Wenxiao and Lie Xingqu!
But Qin Wenxiao looked solemn and said: "The chief priest is right. No matter what we do, we must do it according to the rules. No matter who dares to trample on the rules of our starting city, I, Qin Wenxiao, will be the first to refuse.
!”
Justice is awesome!
Fa Tianming sneered in his heart, but said happily: "This is the best!"
And from beginning to end, Liexingqu sat there without saying a word, appearing extremely silent.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the city lord's palace.
"Su Yi is here!"
Someone yelled.
…
Outside the city lord's mansion.
The bustling crowd separated a road.
At the end of this road, I saw Su Yi in a green robe and a woman in a cloth robe coming together.
The woman's appearance was very ordinary, but when many gods and strange creatures in the forbidden area saw her, they couldn't help but look awe-inspiring and fearful.
People's appearance can change.
But a person’s identity will not change!
Now people have already guessed that this commoner-looking woman was transformed by Luo Xuanji, the ruler of the restricted area!!
However, fear comes from fear, and those gods cannot be said to be afraid.
Because they all know that Luo Xuanji suffered serious Tao injuries before coming to the Road to the Ancient Gods.
And in this starting city, even the master of the restricted area like her cannot mess around!!
Compared with Luo Xuanji, people present only focused on one thing——
Su Yi!
"Senior Su, are you really going to make a big fuss when you come here today?"
A Taijing character mustered up the courage to ask.
Suddenly, many people pricked up their ears.
"What a big fuss, I'm just here to seek justice."
Su Yiyun smiled lightly.
Seek justice!
How could everyone fail to hear the implication of this sentence?
Undoubtedly, the news last night was true. Su Yi came here today just to settle accounts with the second chief priest Qin Wenxiao!
"Senior Su, we all know that it was you who opened the Road to the Ancient Gods with the Era Fire, and that gave us the honor to enter the Road to the Ancient Gods trial."
The Taijing figure said anxiously, "I forgive my junior for being bold. I hope you won't be impulsive when you go. Don't argue with the big shots here. If something unexpected happens, it will be irreversible."
Immediately, many people present spoke out to persuade him.
Almost all of them are characters under gods who have no grievances against Su Yi. Out of gratitude to Su Yi, they can't bear to see him get into trouble and make big mistakes, so they have the courage to dissuade him at this time.
This scene was completely beyond Su Yi's expectation.
Immediately, he laughed, cupped his hands towards those people, said nothing, and continued walking towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Right and wrong depend on the human heart.
Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Su Yi and Luo Xuanji walked into the city lord's mansion one after another.
Appeared in the sight of the three chief priests and a group of high-ranking gods and figures.
The conversation in the hall suddenly stopped.
All eyes were focused on Su Yi.
Suddenly, a tall guard wearing heavy armor stood up, raised his finger and pointed at Su Yi, and shouted: "Su Yi, do you know your guilt!"
The sound was like thunder, resounding through the main hall and reaching outside the city lord's palace, making people's ears buzz.
"Now you are going to attack Su Yi!?"
Many people changed their minds. They never expected that Su Yi would be questioned so aggressively just after he arrived!
Some people also recognized that the tall guard was "Di Bao", the guard commander of the Starting City! The first general under the second chief priest!
In the main hall, Su Yi seemed to turn a deaf ear.
He didn't even bother to look at Di Bao. He raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the hall and said, "Come on, start your performance. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Everyone: "???"
The chief priest Fa Tianming frowned and said nothing.
All the superior gods sneered.
Di Bao and the guards in the main hall were all murderous.
The three main priests, Liexingqu, looked uncertain.
Qin Wenxiao, the second officiant, said coldly: "Su Yi, do you want to die without repentance? Someone, bring Zhou Bing up!"
Suddenly, two guards appeared in the hall with a corpse.
That corpse, with horror written all over its face, was clearly Zhou Bing!
The whole place was in commotion.
There was an uproar outside the city lord's mansion.
"Zhou Bing is actually dead?"
"Could it be that Su Yi killed him?"
"That's definitely the case. Don't forget, when Su Yi first arrived in Starting City yesterday, Zhou Bing and Lie Leng acted together to take Su Yi to the city lord's palace, but Su Yi refused!"
"Not only that, everyone saw at that time that Zhou Bing had made it clear that he would severely punish Su Yi in accordance with the rules!"
"But in just one night, Zhou Bing died!"
"If you say this has nothing to do with Su Yi, who would believe it?"
"No wonder the two chief priests put up such a big battle. I'm afraid they have already found out that Su Yi is the murderer, so they are launching an attack at this moment!"... all kinds of comments could be heard incessantly.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was depressing and solemn.
Many people stared at Su Yi with unkind expressions.
Su Yi glanced at Zhou Bing's body and couldn't help laughing, "This little frame-up trick can be used openly. It's simply insulting."
He really didn't expect that a person like the Second Priest would use such despicable methods, even killing a guard in order to frame him!
"frame?"
Qin Wenxiao said coldly, "As the second chief priest of Beginning City, why do I need to frame you, an outsider? Su Yi, everyone saw yesterday that you and Zhou Bing had a conflict, but now Zhou Bing is dead, how could it be possible?
nothing dealing with you?"
"Where's the evidence?" Luo Xuanji asked.
Qin Wenxiao said expressionlessly: "With so many people watching yesterday, doesn't it count as evidence? What's more, if Su Yi dares to kill Zhou Bing, how can he leave evidence against himself?"
His words caused a lot of discussion in the audience.
Su Yi laughed.
When there is no evidence to prove anything, whoever is the most suspicious is naturally most likely to be the murderer!
This is a subconscious reaction that people have.
But unfortunately, this extremely common thing makes it difficult to find a way to fight back.
Fortunately, Su Yi didn't intend to argue, nor did he intend to prove his innocence.
He said directly: "So, if a city guard dies, you can regard me as a murderer?"
"of course not."
Qin Wenxiao said, "I know you are dissatisfied, but now you are the most suspected and must be detained first. When conclusive evidence is found, if you really killed the person, you should be severely punished. If you didn't kill him, you should be severely punished."
, I will also restore your innocence.”
This statement seems to be a step back, but in fact it is a step forward. Su Yi must be detained first!
Moreover, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement.
But everyone knows that once Su Yi is detained, the end will be bad!
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the second chief priest wants to deal with Su Yi, so how can he really find any evidence?
That's just talk, whoever believes it is stupid!
But no one objected.
The chief priest has been watching with cold eyes.
All the high-ranking gods gloated over the misfortune and looked at Su Yi with pity in their eyes.
What made Su Yi and Luo Xuanji feel abnormal was that the three main priests, Liexing Qu, had been silent the whole time and never said a word!
However, Su Yi never expected Lie Xing Qu to be of much use, so he was not disappointed in his heart.
Outside the city lord's mansion, many people were already worried about Su Yi.
As long as someone can enter the path of the ancient gods, how can there be an idiot?
Everything that was going on in front of them, a fool could see that it was the second officiant's method to deal with Su Yi, and it couldn't stand up to careful scrutiny.
But at least now, the second officiant’s approach is indeed impeccable!
If you are suspected, I will detain you first, and then I will clear your name after the investigation is clear. Is there anything wrong with that?
No!
It can be said that the second chief priest is indeed strictly following the rules of the starting city.
This is the place that makes people feel most depressed and helpless.
In the final analysis, it is because this starting city is the territory of the three chief priests, and all the rules are decided by them.
If Su Yi resists, he is breaking the rules and will be severely punished!
If you don't resist, the situation will be equally worrying!
But at this time, Su Yi sighed and said: "I didn't expect that you guys wouldn't even bother to deal with me."
Putting on such a big show of force, but using such vulgar reasons to convict him, it is obvious that he did not take him seriously, so he was so perfunctory!
