Chapter 828 Trial
Fortunately, Yang Jiuqiao would never have thought that one of the four people standing in the imperial court had a huge feud with him. Si Tu
Firstly, time has passed, and the trace of aura that remained on Ye Feng has quietly faded.
Secondly, no matter how rich Yang Jiuqiao's imagination is, he probably wouldn't have thought that in just over a year, the half-step innate kid had actually been promoted to the third level of the virtual realm.
He would never associate the third-level virtual realm warrior in front of him with a half-step innate little person from the powerful Western Tang country.
"President Yang, why are you so anxious? How to interrogate, your majesty and Master Huiguang of the Demon Hunting Association will make the decision. Your Inscription General has nothing to do with this matter, why are you here to get involved?"
Tianji Shangren sneered back, causing Yang Jiuqiao to blow his nose and stare, and snorted coldly, with a face full of anger.
Seeing that Yang Jiuqiao did not recognize them, Ye Feng and Tang Chuxue finally felt relieved. However, judging from the different expressions of the four great masters of the king realm sitting in the middle of the imperial court, this matter was really extraordinary.
The monk Huiguang, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, was the newly appointed president of the Demon Hunting Association who came to the Northern Han Dynasty. He was in charge of the distribution of materials for the Demon Killing List of the entire Northern Han Dynasty and was also a powerful figure.
The Tianji Palace had a good relationship with the Benlei Temple, and he had a good personal relationship with Master Tianji.
Before Monk Huiguang came to the Northern Han Dynasty, Master Tianji, the Lord of the Wu Mansion, was alone and was suppressed by Duan Qinglin, the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Yang Jiuqiao, the Inscription General Association. Now that he has an ally like Monk Huiguang to support him, and it just so happens that he encountered a case of the Northern Han royal family colluding with the Demon Sect, how could he not take the opportunity to discredit the Northern Han royal family?
Therefore, Master Tianji seemed particularly enthusiastic about the matter of Duan Qingjiang.
"Which sect are these little kids from?" Monk Huiguang said with a smile, his tone was very kind.
"I am Cao Lei from Wanjue Sect, and these guys are my junior brothers and sisters." Cao Lei stepped forward.
As the eldest brother, it was natural for him to come forward at this moment.
Monk Huiguang nodded and said, "So they are the top disciples of Wanjue Sect. Wanjue Sect is worthy of being one of the seven holy places. They are young but have very good cultivation. They are indeed rare talents. Junior Brother Cao, please tell us in detail how you found out that Lord Duan's men were secretly communicating with the Demon Sect? By the way, tell us in detail about the disappearance of those scums..."
Duan Qingjiang turned his head and looked at them with a sad look.
Although Cao Lei and Ye Feng couldn't bear it, they didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two major forces out of thin air, so they told everything that happened in the hall.
It was probably Pingliang City's general Su Moyan, and Pingliang Demon Hunter Association's branch president Zhang Taining and others who forcibly blocked them from entering Sujiabao to investigate the traces of demons. In the end, Ye Feng killed Han Wuxin, a high-level demon disciple of the Soul Devouring Blood Hall, who they were protecting. After the evidence was conclusive, they were captured together.
Afterwards, the four were escorted back to the city and imprisoned in the city lord's mansion by Duan Qingjiang.
However, when he and others went to Jiakou Village and killed seven demon disciples, they were told that Su Moyan and his group had disappeared at night after they came back.
Judging from the evidence revealed at the scene, someone in the Pingliang City Lord's Mansion must have colluded with the Demon Sect to let these four spies go, and the most likely person among them was none other than the city lord Duan Qingjiang.
Cao Lei finished speaking solemnly and stood aside respectfully.
Master Tianji nodded and asked them: "As far as I know, you didn't want to hand over the four prisoners because you didn't trust Duan Qingjiang. What made you feel at ease to lock up the prisoners in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Master Tianji's words obviously wanted to involve the Northern Han royal family.
Ye Feng and others were a little hesitant. Wu Xiaoyu did raise doubts, but they were all based on facts. Ye Feng and others obviously disdained to implicate them for no reason.
But what Master Tianji asked was the fact, and Ye Feng and others could not defend the Northern Han royal family.
After a long silence, Ye Feng answered frankly: "Yes, City Lord Duan said that those people were all inner disciples of Qiannianzhai, and he had no right to deal with them at will. He could only thoroughly investigate the matter after reporting to the Northern Han Imperial Court or even obtaining the authorization of Qiannianzhai, so he needed to detain them for a few days. At first, we thought that City Lord Duan wanted to protect the four people, so we raised objections."
"What did Duan Qingjiang say? Did he make you believe him?" Master Tianji nodded with satisfaction, and lured Ye Feng to continue talking step by step.
"At that time, City Lord Duan swore in the name of the Northern Han royal family, so... everyone had no objection..."
"It seems that the matter is very clear..." Master Tianji did not continue to question. At this point, involving the Northern Han royal family was enough for him.
That was his purpose.
Whether Duan Qingjiang was alive or dead, or whether he really colluded with the Demon Sect, it was actually not important.
"Duan Qingjiang! Tell me, is it because you colluded with them that you deliberately released the people secretly?" Duan Qinglin, the ruler of the Northern Han Dynasty, could no longer sit still and shouted at Duan Qingjiang with an angry face.
The Northern Han royal family could no longer stay out of this matter.
Duan Qingjiang, this idiot, actually swore in the name of the royal family, which really made the ruler Duan Qinglin curse inwardly.
Originally, he still wanted to save his cousin Duan Qingjiang's life, but if he did so again at this moment, the Duan family of the Northern Han royal family would really become unclear. This matter may even implicate Qiandiaozhai behind the scenes.
After all, Su Moyan and Zhang Taining were both disciples of Qiandori Zhai. What Master Tianji and Monk Huiguang want is to seize some of the interests of the powerful Northern Han Dynasty from Qiandori Zhai.
Duan Qinglin had no choice but to destroy his relatives for justice and completely cut off his relationship with Duan Qingjiang.
Hearing the king's scolding, Duan Qingjiang remained silent. He collapsed on the ground and his eyes lost all their vitality.
There is no doubt that his cousin's words have made it clear that he has to bear this matter alone no matter what.
If you collude with the Demon Sect, you will definitely die, and you will be cast aside by Yuanwu Zhengdao.
But I was wronged. I really didn’t do that...
Seeing that he no longer chose to deny it, Duan Qinglin showed a trace of happiness in his eyes, but then the happiness turned into a stern expression. He waved his hand and shouted: "Duan Qingjiang colluded with the Demon Sect. After three days, he will be publicly questioned and executed as a warning to others!"
"Someone, drag him down!"
If things can end here, it will be the greatest luck for the Duan family. Duan Qingjiang has been wronged, and Duan Qinglin has no time to care about it. In the face of the interests of Qiangguo and Chidori Zai, a cousin is of no importance.
Seeing Duan Qingjiang's desperate eyes, Ye Feng suddenly couldn't bear it.
"Wait!" Ye Feng and Monk Huiguang said at the same time.
Monk Huiguang ignored Guan Ye Feng, still smiling. He turned to look at Duan Qinglin and said, "Why is the king so anxious? This matter has not been thoroughly investigated, so why is the case closed so hastily? Is the king just that? Do you want Lord Duan to die in an unknown manner?"
"Why did Master Huiguang say this? There is such a scum in my family. My family is unfortunate. What else can I say?"
Duan Qinglin's expression changed, and his tone showed deep dissatisfaction.
Although his relationship with Duan Qingjiang was not good, it wasn't much worse. Unexpectedly, the other party would not appreciate my act of "killing relatives for justice". Do Tianji Palace and Benlei Temple still want to continue to expand their results so that they can control the entire Northern Han Dynasty?
snort……
It's simply too much of a lie...
