Everyone present was shocked when they saw Yu Zhenguo and Ruan Lingyu actually confronting each other.
No one expected that Yu Zhenguo valued Jiang Sheng so much that he would go head-to-head with Ruan Lingyu for him.
No one expected Ruan Lingyu to be so fierce, and in order to severely punish Jiang Sheng, she would not give Yu Zhenguo any face.
If this trend continues, Ruan Lingyu and Yu Zhenguo may very well be at war with each other.
"Brother, what's going on with Ruan Lingyu?"
Wu Kaitian approached Jiang Sheng and asked curiously: "What is the deep hatred between you and her? Why does she insist on putting you to death?"
"I didn't even know her before, how can I have any grudge against her?"
Jiang Sheng rolled his eyes at Wu Kaitian and said bitterly: "I guess she, like Mr. Dong back then, targeted me like this because she cared about Mingyue. What a fucking headache!"
Jiang Sheng thought that Ruan Lingyu made things difficult for him because she felt that he was not worthy of Ji Mingyue.
In fact, it was almost the same, but Jiang Sheng didn't know that Ruan Lingyu was a master specially invited by Ji Mingyue to protect him.
If Jiang Sheng knew the truth and saw that Ruan Lingyu not only failed to protect him, but also opposed him at every turn, Jiang Sheng would probably cry to death.
"Ruan Lingyu, you are determined to challenge me today!"
Yu Zhenguo's eyebrows were raised, he was not angry and intimidated, and said expressionlessly: "Young man, with your current achievements, you are indeed worthy of pride."
"In normal times, I can indulge you a little, but today if you want to touch Jiang Sheng, you have to get through me."
"Commander Yu is a highly respected senior. Originally, this junior should not be rude in front of you."
Ruan Lingyu was equally imposing and responded in a neither arrogant nor humble manner: "But Jiang Sheng's crime of burning Huangjue Temple on fire is true, so he must accept legal sanctions. I insist on this to protect Commander Yu's reputation."
"Since you said that Jiang Sheng was performing the tasks of the Jiangdong War Department and the local judiciary has no right to interfere, then I will arrest him now as a major general of the Longjing War Department and hand him over to a military court for trial."
"Hmph! As long as I'm here, you can't even think of touching him."
Yu Zhenguo snorted coldly and said domineeringly: "You don't need to use military law to suppress me. I will protect Jiang Sheng and have a clear conscience."
"Even if the higher authorities hold me accountable afterwards, I can still bear all the responsibilities."
Ruan Lingyu looked at Yu Zhenguo with furrowed brows. No matter in terms of status or qualifications, she was inferior to Yu Zhenguo, and she didn't want to really fight with Yu Zhenguo.
After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Lingyu turned around suddenly and rushed towards Jiang Sheng like lightning: "In that case, I will capture Jiang Sheng first. Commander Yu, you can then find a way to prove his innocence!"
"presumptuous!"
Unexpectedly, Ruan Lingyu, who was confronting him, would suddenly attack Jiang Sheng. Yu Zhenguo roared angrily, but when he tried to stop Ruan Lingyu, it was too late.
"Jiang Sheng, I want to arrest you now. If you dare to resist, don't blame me. I won't be polite."
Ruan Lingyu rushed towards Jiang Sheng like lightning and shouted a warning.
"Well done!"
Facing Ruan Lingyu who was rushing towards him, Jiang Sheng's eyes flashed and he quickly used his kung fu to gather his energy.
He wanted to compete with Ruan Lingyu before, but Ruan Lingyu looked down on him and refused to take action.
Now I finally have the opportunity to experience the strength of this legendary female general.
"Amitabha!"
When Ruan Lingyu reached out to grab Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng was already ready to take action, a deep Buddha's chant suddenly sounded throughout the audience.
The next moment, a figure flashed between Jiang Sheng and Ruan Lingyu.
Seeing that her palm was about to touch this uninvited guest, Ruan Lingyu's face changed slightly and she quickly stopped her hand.
"Master Jueyuan!"
Jiang Sheng looked at the great monk standing in front of him in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Amitabha!"
Jue Yuan clasped his hands together and said without looking back: "Donor Jiang has shown great kindness to Huangjue Temple. Naturally, this poor monk cannot let you be imprisoned for unjust injustice."
"Didn't the master say that family members will not tell lies?"
Jiang Sheng reminded worriedly: "You must not lose your mind to practice Buddhism because of me. I can't bear it, kid!"
"No problem!"
Jue Yuan still did not look back, but looked at Ruan Lingyu: "The poor monk Jue Yuan, on behalf of Huangjue Temple, tells the world that Huangjue Temple will not hold Donor Jiang accountable in any way, and please General Ruan not to embarrass Donor Jiang anymore!"
"Master, are you correct?"
Ruan Lingyu stared at Jue Yuan in confusion: "Jiang Sheng burned Huangjue Temple and killed Zen Master Puxin. You don't blame him?"
"Amitabha! My Buddha is compassionate and willing to save all those who are destined to be in the world."
Pu Xin responded seriously: "Donor Jiang is destined to be my Buddha. No matter what he has done, Huangjue Temple is willing to support him."
"As for the death of our master, this is God's will."
"Master has achieved the golden body of Buddhism and has completed his merits. Not only is Donor Jiang innocent, but he is also kind and meritorious."
As soon as Pu Xin finished speaking, a burst of Sanskrit chanting came from outside the courtyard.
I saw a group of monks from Huangjue Temple carrying Pu Xin's golden body, chanting sutras, and entering the courtyard.
Seeing the shining golden body, which was extremely sacred, everyone present was in awe.
Even Ruan Lingyu quickly dissipated her aura and paid respectful attention to the golden body.
"General Ruan, you saw that the master's golden body is smiling and does not show any discomfort."
After Jue Yuan saluted the golden body, he said seriously: "This shows that before Master passed away, not only did he not blame Donor Jiang, but he was very satisfied with him."
"Master's wishes represent the wishes of Huangjue Temple. General Ruan please respect our decision."
Ruan Lingyu looked at Jiang Sheng and Jue Yuan with a gloomy face, her mind filled with questions.
Logically speaking, if Jiang Sheng burned Huangjue Temple and killed Pu Xin, the people of Huangjue Temple must hate him deeply.
But now, instead of blaming Jiang Sheng, Jue Yuan and others pretended to defend Jiang Sheng, which is so unreasonable.
"Master is worthy of being a master!"
Jiang Sheng looked at Jue Yuan's back with emotion: "You really didn't even tell a lie, so Ruan Lingyu couldn't trouble me anymore."
"Especially bringing out the golden body of Zen Master Puxin. This move is worth a thousand words, awesome!"
"General Ruan, you heard that none of the parties involved will hold Jiang Sheng accountable. In addition, Jiang Sheng is indeed carrying out the tasks of our Jiangdong War Department."
Yu Zhenguo looked at Ruan Lingyu with some pride: "In both public and private matters, you have no reason to embarrass Jiang Sheng now."
"Even if Huangjue Temple does not hold Jiang Sheng accountable, I will not give up."
Ruan Lingyu glanced at Jiang Sheng and said firmly: "I will report the matter truthfully. When the time comes, the superiors will investigate it, and Commander Yu must be mentally prepared to bear the consequences."
"It doesn't matter, just report it."
Yu Zhenguo said nonchalantly: "If the superior orders Jiang Sheng to be held accountable, I, Yu Zhenguo, will arrest Jiang Sheng myself."
Ruan Lingyu glanced at Jiang Sheng coldly, turned and left, but her heart was full of doubts.
Could it be that Yu Zhenguo had some hidden agenda if he dared to take over so much?
After Ruan Lingyu left, Jue Yuan said hello to everyone, and then returned to Huangjue Temple with the monk and the golden body.
"Deputy Director Zhang!"
Yu Zhenguo turned to look at Zhang Renyi and said coldly: "Did you hear what Master Jue Yuan said?"
"Now that Huangjue Temple will not hold Jiang Sheng accountable, are you going to arrest the generals of my Jiangdong War Department?"
"I……"
Zhang Renyi's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Ruan Lingyu could do anything against Jiang Sheng, nor did he expect that Huangjue Temple didn't blame Jiang Sheng at all.
Ruan Lingyu has left, and the remaining people are not something he can fight against!
Mr. Dong himself has a very good reputation and status in the provincial capital, and with Yu Zhenguo in the mix, it would be too easy to kill him.
On the other side, Zhang Hai's face was ashen. He never dreamed that Jiang Sheng's background would be so terrifying. Even the host Yu Zhenguo and Jue Yuan came forward to protect him.
