Chapter 122 Show off your prestige? Subdue the law!
The people from Qiushui Temple were escorted up. They were still wearing Taoist robes. Without the immortal spirit and Taoist bones, they only felt wretched.
Wearing the lofty coat of hanging a pot to help the world, he ended up doing the despicable thing of cuckolding others. How much they admired him before the incident happened, but how disgusted they are now.
Of course, not everyone thinks the Taoist priests at Qiushui Temple are bad people.
"The good or bad are all decided by the prefect alone. The Li who made the accusation is dead, and now there is no evidence." said the good-hearted man.
Hearing this, some people around felt that it made sense, while others stayed away silently. They wanted to die if they were not clear in their minds. They must not implicate others. They did not see that now, whether it is official power or Xuanmen competition, the Taoist priests of Qiushui Temple
Nothing compares.
"Can you plead guilty?" Jiang Yuanqi asked.
The master of Qiushui Temple sneered and said: "If you want to inflict a crime, there is no need to hesitate. We Xuanmen people practice mystical arts and obey the will of God, so we will not do such dirty things."
They are strong-willed and would rather die than surrender.
Mr. Liu was sitting aside, and at this moment he interjected: "Master Jiang, it seems that there is something hidden in this case, and it needs to be tried carefully."
As soon as he spoke, some of the officials around him immediately echoed his words and cited various reasons.
Mr. Liu's lips curled up into a smile.
Jiang Yuanqi glanced at the local officials in Hangzhou. Half of them stood in agreement, and the other half, although they had not spoken, looked hesitant.
Hangzhou is a hegemon, and its power should not be underestimated.
Taoist priest Qiushui Guan made some excuses, and after everyone heard his explanation, his attitude softened.
The crazy old woman grabbed the Qiushuiguan Taoist priest's robe, pulled him and shouted: "Please tell me clearly, what is going on, who killed my eldest grandson?"
Li San was a little more rational than my mother and grasped the key point: "Is the child in my wife's belly mine?"
You must ask clearly whether a man has a cuckold on his head.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest from Qiushui Temple immediately said: "Of course."
Li San's face showed joy. He wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate. He wanted to cry but his tears couldn't come out.
Mr. Liu spoke again: "Now that the matter has been made clear and Qiu Shuiguan is innocent, I won't let them go."
The government officials looked at Mr. Liu and then at the magistrate. They looked hesitant, but they did not move.
Mr. Liu's face didn't look very good.
Jiang Yuanqi said: "Don't worry, I still have evidence here."
Evidence was brought up.
Several women were brought up. The clothes they were wearing had been changed. They were not in good spirits, and their faces looked sick. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
The Taoist priest from Qiushui Temple looked at the woman who appeared, with shock flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that they would also be found. The secret room was covered with layers of formations, and no one informed them, so it was impossible to be discovered.
Jiang Yuanqi glanced at Qiushuiguan Taoist Priest, then turned to look at Mr. Liu again, with deep meaning in his eyes.
The woman opened her mouth, and her hoarse voice told everything that happened to them, that dark time.
Those who heard it were frightened and out of breath.
"Beast!" I don't know who shouted, and as soon as the words fell, curses rang out, and the lobby became noisy.
Jiang Yuanqi let the people vent their anger for a while, then slapped the gavel tree to make everyone quiet.
Jiang Yuanqi said: "The evidence of your crime is conclusive. Your crime cannot be forgiven. According to the law, you should be beheaded in public."
For committing such a heinous crime, he was sentenced to be beheaded to comply with the popular sentiment, and received widespread applause.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Well done!"
Jiang Yuanqi said: "Here comes, press down..."
Mr. Liu suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
Jiang Yuanqi looked over.
Mr. Liu's tough attitude softened a bit, and he looked at Jiang Yuanqi and said: "Master Jiang, Qiu Shui Guan is a Xuan Shu sect after all. They are all members of Xuan Sect. Even if they really do something wrong, they should be punished by Xuan Sect members."
Someone comes forward to deal with it.”
In other words, the people in Qiu Shui Guan are indeed guilty, but you, Jiang Yuanqi, have no right to deal with them.
"Master Jiang, the people in Xuanmen are unpredictable, so it's best not to provoke them." Mr. Liu seemed to be well-intentioned, but in fact he said with a threatening tone.
If you are the prefect, don't be afraid. If your term of office is over and you leave, the people who stay will be implicated.
After understanding the hidden meaning of Mr. Liu's words, the expressions of the officials in the lobby changed several times, and some even spoke directly, secretly agreeing with Mr. Liu's words and hoping that Jiang Yuanqi would be accommodating.
"You are right in what you said. Since they are members of the Xuanmen, they should be disciplined by the Xuanmen." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanqi was persuaded and took a step back.
Mr. Liu's eyes were full of lust. Sure enough, when it comes to Xuanmen, most people don't dare to be presumptuous. It is even said that the newly appointed magistrate comes from a Xuanmen family and should know the importance.
"Come here, please invite the noble man to come out." Jiang Yuanqi said. After giving the order, his confidants walked out immediately. Within a moment, someone walked out of the inner hall.
Lou Yunzhou was walking at the front, followed by Qi Qi, Mo Xingyuan and others. The Moon Guards were all dressed up and holding weapons in their hands. It could be seen at a glance that these people had unusual origins. The aura exuding from their bodies, their
I saw blood on my hands.
Jiang Yuanqi stood up on his own initiative and asked Lou Yunzhou to take his seat.
Lou Yunzhou declined, sat on the chair specially prepared for him by Jiang Yuanqi, and looked at everyone in the lobby.
Everyone was curious about these people who suddenly appeared.
Mr. Liu looked at Lou Yunzhou. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen him before. However, his many years of experience prevented him from making any rash moves at this moment.
Jiang Yuanqi clapped his hands and the hall became quiet.
Jiang Yuanqi said: "These guys are from Kunlun. Today they are here, so let them deal with these demons."
He agreed with the idea that matters in Xuanmen should be handled by Xuanmen.
Mo Xingyuan and others listened clearly to what happened in the back hall. When they heard that they were asked to make the decision, they looked at the Qiu Shui Guan people kneeling on the ground, their eyes flashing ferociously.
As a member of the Xuan Sect, he actually used his own Xuan skills to do such an outrageous thing. If he fell into their hands, there would be no hope of any good.
"No, don't come here." The Taoist priest from Qiushui Temple shouted.
They would rather be imprisoned than be treated with mystical magic.
Regret? It’s too late!
Mr. Liu looked a little anxious. He couldn't let these people die like this and tried to speak again.
Lou Yunzhou glanced at him, a light glance that made him tremble. He finally realized why this person looked familiar.
Such a look, such pressure, a sense of oppression that only the man in the capital could bring to him.
Mr. Liu just left Kyoto a few years ago. When he entered the palace, he saw His Highness the Crown Prince from a distance. At this glance, the Kunlun disciple mentioned by Jiang Yuanqi clearly looked the same as His Highness the Crown Prince.
