A dirty-faced middle-aged man wearing prison uniform was shouting crazily.
"Let me out! Why did you arrest me and lock me up for so long! I didn't do anything! Let me out!"
"What's the fuss about?" A jailer knocked hard on the railing with a stick, making loud noises.
"Old Liu! Old Liu!" The middle-aged man stretched out his arm from the railing, yanked the jailer's stick, and shouted miserably: "Old Liu! Please tell me! What on earth have I done?!"
He was originally on duty at the gate of the city. Unexpectedly, a group of policemen suddenly came and accused him of extortion. They arrested him and put him in jail without saying a word. The detention lasted for more than half a month, which made him think a lot.
Can't figure it out.
The jailer tried hard to withdraw the stick and shouted: "Lu Er, let me go!"
But the stick was tightly held in the middle-aged man's hand, and he couldn't pull it after several attempts.
"Old Liu, tell me, what's going on? Why are you arresting me?" The middle-aged man pulled the stick tightly, his face full of fear, and shouted sadly.
Seeing Lu Er's appearance, Old Liu felt soft. Then he looked around and cursed in a low voice: "Humph! Who told you that your hands and feet are dirty and you fish for oil and water at the city gate every day!"
Lu Er's face was full of disbelief, "What the hell is this! Nine of the ten people guarding the city gate are making extra money, and I'm considered a small person, so why should you arrest me!?"
"I don't know either, but one thing is for sure..." Old Liu's voice lowered twice more.
"What is it?" Lu Er asked quickly.
"The order to arrest you...was given by the new Immortal Master himself!"
"Ah?!" Lu Er's hands softened and he let go of Lao Liu's wooden stick. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and sat on the ground with a thud.
"The order from the Immortal Master? I..." Lu Er looked shocked and stammered.
Old Liu shook his head and said helplessly: "Just stay quiet for now. The Immortal Master didn't order to kill you directly. This is considered good."
Lu Er shook his head in confusion, muttering to himself, as if he didn't hear what Old Liu said, and kept repeating one sentence...
Why would the immortal master arrest me...
…
At this moment, Chen Lin was sitting in the high hall, looking at the old man below, his eyelids slightly lowered and his face expressionless.
"Report to the Immortal Master, Lu Er is still yelling in prison today, constantly asking about the reason for arresting him." The old man reported loudly with a voice like a bell.
"Well..." Chen Lin replied softly.
The old man raised his head and glanced at Chen Lin. Seeing that he didn't respond, he paused and asked in a low voice: "Uh, Master Immortal, should we let him go? I'm afraid he will go crazy if he is locked up any longer."
When Chen Lin heard this, he opened his eyes and glanced at the old man, and said disdainfully: "What's wrong? Liu Jing, is this person some kind of relative of yours?"
The old man is none other than the city lord of Ningshui Prefecture, Liu Jing.
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Liu Jing quickly shook his head and explained in panic: "There is absolutely no such thing! It's just... It's just that the immortal master put him in jail for blackmail, which caused other people to talk about it. I'm afraid that this matter will
Affecting the reputation of the Immortal Master..."
"Hmph!" Chen Lin snorted coldly. This Lu Er had blackmailed him when he entered the city gate of Ningshui Prefecture before he ascended to immortality. Therefore, as soon as he took office, he immediately thought of this and ordered people to arrest him in prison.
.
But according to today's laws, the little money he extorted was not considered a serious crime.
Chen Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Let him be locked up for another half month. After half a month, let him go."
"Yes! I understand, little one." Liu Jing responded hurriedly.
Chen Lin nodded and said calmly: "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, just step back."
Hearing this, Liu Jing looked embarrassed, paused and said, "There is one more thing I need to report to you."
"explain."
"The young masters of the Meng family and the Ji family gathered to fight outside the city again, and this time two people were killed. The two heads of the family are now arguing outside. You see..." Liu Jing asked cautiously.
"Alas..." Chen Lin sighed, and then said: "Ask them to come in."
"Yes." The old man responded immediately, turned around and left the hall.
Seeing Liu Jing leaving, Chen Lin shook his head helplessly, holding his forehead with an annoyed look on his face.
The Meng family and the Ji family have been fighting privately in recent years. Several lives were lost in the past, which had a very bad impact on the entire city.
Originally, if it was an ordinary family, they would be punished where necessary and suppressed when necessary. But what is difficult to deal with is that there are immortal masters behind these two families. Mortal families belonging to the immortal master cannot deal with them at will.
The immortal master behind the Meng family is Meng Li, and the Ji family is Ji Heng's family.
So this made Chen Lin very difficult to deal with, and he didn't know which side to take sides.
Just when Chen Lin was distressed, two family heads walked in.
"Master Immortal!" As soon as he came in, a fat middle-aged man immediately knelt down and shouted with a cry, "You must make the decision for me, these ignorant people from the Ji family actually took my
My younger son is disabled! Woo hoo..."
Before Chen Lin could speak, the tall and thin man next to him immediately let out a "poof" and shouted angrily: "Why didn't you say that you beat two of the priests in my house to death!?"
"You fart! Can those rough guys in your family compare to my little son?!"
"Huh! They are..." The tall and thin man was about to speak.
"Okay." Chen Lin interrupted the quarrel between the two with a cold remark, "What's the reason for this time? Tell me in detail from beginning to end."
After hearing Chen Lin's words, the two immediately stopped arguing, and then talked about the reasons for the fight.
After listening for a while, Chen Lin probably understood and couldn't help but sneer.
It turned out that the reason for the quarrel between the two families was that the young masters of the two families were jealous of each other in the brothel. The two sides fought fiercely, beating the younger one against the older one, and the older one against the older one, until they agreed to have a fight outside the city.
Originally, the two parties agreed to have a fight that would not involve Chen Lin, but because the young master of the Meng family was young and energetic, he actually joined the fight and was kicked to death. This made the head of the Meng family instantly furious, and the two sides quarreled again.
, came directly to Chen Lin and made a fuss.
"Master Immortal! Please make the decision for me!" Master Meng knelt down and cried bitterly.
"Master Immortal, Meng Bu allowed his men to kill people with knives, he must be convicted!" Ji family leader also knelt down and shouted.
Looking at the two kneeling people, Chen Lin had no expression on his face and looked at them coldly...
Just when the two family heads were seen breaking out in cold sweat, Chen Lin's voice came, "Both of you family heads are at fault for this matter. Meng Bu, your servant killed two people, and you must hand over the murderer."
! And in Jizhuangnian, you should not have done this to cripple Mengbu's son! Hurry up to discuss compensation matters and post an apology on the bulletin board. No one can escape the legal accountability!"
"But..." The two family heads were obviously dissatisfied with this penalty and were about to speak...
"Okay," Chen Lin interrupted coldly, "That's it, get down here!"
"Uh...yes..."
The two of them bowed and stepped back, but the hatred in their eyes still did not dissipate.
Chen Lin rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless, and took a breath.
He could only deal with it this way, each playing fifty games, and no one was partial.
He shook his head and threw away these mundane things. Just as he was about to walk into the room to practice some exercises and meditate, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Immortal Master..."
Ryukyong's figure appeared at the door.
Chen Lin frowned, stopped, and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Liu Jing respectfully replied: "Master Bai Xian is here..."
"So fast!"
After hearing this, Chen Lin's depression suddenly disappeared, his face was overjoyed, and he quickly walked out of the hall.
