Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 597 Game

As soon as the words fell, two disciples outside led Zhang Heng into the hall.

Xu Zilong asked, "Zhang Heng, on August [-]th, you killed Jiang Yu, a son of the Jiang family who had a good cooperative relationship with the sect. Can you plead guilty?"

Zhang Heng said: "I am ordered to act, innocent."

Ma Yuan said: "Zhang Heng, you said that you were ordered by Uncle Shi to investigate Jiang Yu secretly. Why have you never returned to the sect this year to report the progress to Uncle Shi?"

Before Zhang Heng could speak, Chen Da interrupted: "Senior Brother Ma, what do you mean? Could it be that you suspect that Brother Zhang Heng was not ordered to act? The Master has admitted to giving him this order, and your inspectorate should know, why are you still arresting him?" Don't let it go, don't you suspect that the master gave a false testimony!"

Ma Yuanze said: "Brother Chen, don't get me wrong. I never doubted Shi Shishu's intentions. It's just that the case is suspicious and I have to ask. Zhang Heng, since you have been ordered to monitor Jiang Yu for a whole year, no matter whether you have clues or not, you should Report, why didn't you report?"

Zhang Heng said: "Master didn't stipulate how often I should report to him. I didn't have any clues, so naturally I didn't report."

Xu Zilong said: "According to the witnesses of Jiang's family, you were wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat on the day you committed the crime. It was only because you fought with Jiang Yu later that the hat fell off and your appearance was recognized."

"And you said that it was because Jiang Yu found out that they killed him by mistake."

"But isn't your outfit aimed at assassination? If you want to spy on others, do you need to dress so strangely? Isn't it easier to expose."

Zhang Heng said: "I don't think it's easier to be exposed. In fact, I'm afraid of being noticed by him and revealing my identity, so I wear this on purpose."

Ma Yuanze and Xu Zilong took turns to question each other. They interrogated for more than half an hour. They cross-examined everything, but Chen Da didn't say a word. a passerby.

"Does Junior Brother Peng and Junior Brother Chen have anything else to ask?" Ma Yuan looked at them and asked.

Both of them shook their heads in silence.

"Take Zhang Heng down." Xu Zilong said, and the two disciples led Zhang Heng out of the hall.

"That's the end of today's interrogation! I propose to convict Zhang Heng in the name of murdering Jiang Yu." Ma Yuanze said.

Chen Dadao: "I don't agree with Brother Ma's proposal. Zhang Heng is ordered to act, so what is the crime? If he is convicted, who will dare to obey the order of the sect in the future?"

Ma Yuan said: "Although Zhang Heng acted according to Shi Shishu's orders, we have sufficient reasons to suspect that his killing was out of personal anger, not for the public good."

Chen Dadao: "Brother Ma's suspicion is well used. There is no evidence, how can we arbitrarily convict him?"

Xu Zilong said: "I agree with Junior Brother Ma's proposal to convict Zhang Heng. Junior Brother Peng, what do you think?"

Peng Hao said: "I think it's better to be cautious about this matter."

Xu Zilong said: "Since there are different opinions, let's each submit a dossier, and I will hand it over to the sect, and ask the head teacher to make a decision."

The two disciples next to him immediately handed over their pens and inks, and everyone wrote vigorously, writing their opinions and handing them over to Xu Zilong.

.....................

At night, in Luo Qingshui Cave Mansion, Tang Ning sat opposite him. The two chatted for a while before Tang Ning left.

...............................

The next day, in the torture hall of the Zhenfu Department, several people gathered together again.

"Yesterday, I submitted the file to the sect. The head teacher and Master Tang have agreed to my proposal and that of Junior Brother Ma. Zhang Heng will be convicted and sentenced to [-] years in prison for the crime of manslaughtering Jiang Yu." Xu Zilong flipped his left hand and took Write out a piece of paper and pass it to Peng Hao next to him.

That article was exactly the metaphorical order issued by Tangning, with the seal of Xuande Hall and his signature on it.

Several people circulated it one by one, and after reading the article, Chen Da got up blankly: "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving."

After saying that, he walked away and left the hall straight away. Ma Yuan and Xu Zilong looked at each other, both a little dissatisfied. Peng Hao still looked like he had nothing to do with him, sitting still, his expression not changing at all.

Xu Zilong said: "Since Junior Brother Chen wants to leave first, let us announce the verdict! Someone, bring Zhang Heng here."

Soon, he was led into the hall, and Xu Zilong took out the article and read: "Zhang Heng, a disciple of the Sili Department, accidentally killed Jiang Yu, a son of the Jiang family. After a joint trial, the sentence was pronounced as follows. Zhang Heng was sentenced to forty years in prison."

After Zhang Heng heard it, his expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it.

Xu Zilong waved his hand: "Take him down."

"Yes." The two disciples responded, leading Zhang Heng out of the main hall, to the prison department, and escorted him to the Wujian Cliff to be imprisoned.

........................

In the cave mansion, Chen Da bowed and saluted, then took his seat and said, "The trial of the three departments has ended. The head teacher and Tangning agreed to convict him. In the end, Tangning ordered Zhang to be sentenced for manslaughter Jiang Yu. The younger brother will be imprisoned for forty years."

Shi Mingsui nodded, without saying a word, Chen Da silently withdrew.

The punishment and prison department has no bottom and no bottom, and the cave is dark and dark, and you can't see your fingers, and the stench is blowing.

Zhang Heng sat down cross-legged, expressionless.The image of the woman with the bright eyes and white teeth constantly appearing in my mind, who finally died of suicide in the dilapidated ancient temple.

I don't know how long after, there was a bang, the stone door turned open, and a square-faced man with a broad mouth flashed into the room, Jishou said: "Junior Brother Zhang, I am Li Miao, a disciple of the Prison Department, and I am specially ordered by Shi Shishu Come to see you."

Zhang Heng stood up and returned the salute: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li, and please tell Shigong and Master for me. This disciple will remember the kindness of the two elders in this life. Even though he is in prison, he will pray every day in the future. I wish the two elders a long and boundless life."

"You don't need to be discouraged, Junior Brother Zhang. This time, I'm here to lift the restraint in your body under the order of Uncle Shi." Li Miao stepped forward and tapped him a few times, lifting the spring, Linghai, and Niwan Gong three in his body. The spiritual power seal at the place.

As soon as the restraint was lifted, Zhang Heng's spiritual power overflowed his whole body in an instant, and he was able to move freely. He said happily, "Thank you, brother."

Li Miao flipped through his hands and handed him six bottles of elixir: "This is the elixir for cultivation that Uncle Shi asked me to bring to you. He asked me to tell you, don't worry, just calm down and practice with peace of mind. It will always be useful in the future." The land of martial arts."

Zhang Heng immediately bowed to the south and kowtowed, thanking Master.

"Junior Brother Zhang, if you have any needs, just tell me, I don't want to stay for a long time, so I'm leaving first, I have already greeted the guard disciples here, they won't talk nonsense, but you still need to stay here, don't go out, Otherwise, it’s hard to explain.”

"I understand, thank you Senior Brother Li."

Li Miao stepped out of the cave with a flash, and the stone door closed again with a bang.

.......................................

Xu Qingwan was sitting cross-legged in the cave, closing her eyes to practice, when suddenly the storage bag around her waist shook.

She opened her eyes, took out the array disk, pointed at it, took the talisman into her hand, poured it with spiritual consciousness, and a man's words sounded in her mind.

Outside the dense fog, a tall and burly man with white temples stood tall. Seeing Xu Qingwan's escaping light falling, he stepped forward and said, "Senior sister Xu, I am Huang Yuanjin from the Department of Disciplinary Affairs. I am ordered by the Zongmen to set off immediately and go to Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine works."

After finishing speaking, he turned over in his hand, took out a piece of paper and handed it to her.

Xu Qingwan took the article, opened it and read it, but saw that it said: Xu Qingwan, a disciple of the Palm Printing Department of Yuanyi Palace, wrote faithfully and profoundly.In order to avoid the invasion of the Demon Sect, the important place of Xuanyue Mountain's sect, it is now dispatched to guard and set off immediately without any mistakes.

Below is the seal of Qingxuan Palace and the signature of Shi Mingsui.

"Senior Sister Xu, if you don't have anything to pack, let's go now!" Huang Yuanjin said.

"I have some matters to explain, please wait for half an hour, Junior Brother Huang."

Huang Yuanjin nodded and said hello, Xu Qingwan jumped up from the light, and after a short walk, she came to a cave, waved her hand, and a talisman disappeared into the interior.

Soon, the thick fog came out, and a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing bright eyes and white teeth, and the figure of a tall and graceful woman, it was Gu Yuanya: "Master Xu, Master invites you to enter."

Xu Qingwan said: "Since you have established your foundation, you will be regarded as your peers from now on, so let's call you according to the rules of the practice world!"

"Then I don't dare. The master must know and scold me for being unruly."

The two entered the inner room one after the other, and came to Tangning's main room. Xu Qingwan sat down after saluting and said, "I'm here to bid farewell to you for bothering you this time. Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine is guarding."

Gu Yuanya was startled when she heard her words. Everyone in the sect knew that Xu Qingwan was Tangning's confidant, and the Qingxuan Palace sent her to Xuanyue Mountain with a single order. Obviously, this was Shi Mingsui's counterattack .

It needs to be known that although Xu Qingwan is only an officer in the palm print department of Yuanyi Palace, she is in charge of the specific matters of the sect's production expansion plan, serves as the logistics captain, and enjoys the salary of the sect's deacon.

But now after being transferred from the Yuanyi Palace, it is obvious that she can no longer enjoy the salary of the deacon. This is a big income gap. The monthly deacon is [-] spirit stones. If her own salary is only [-] spirit stones, there is a difference of three or four a year. All Souls.

Tangning didn't show any strange expression, she just nodded, "Since you're sent, then go! Be careful when you get there."

Xu Qingwan said: "Please take care of these two children, Zhirou and Qiyuan."

Tangning nodded and remained silent.

"Then I'll take my leave." Xu Qingwan got up and left.

"Master, they are bullying Aunt Xu, so why don't you help me out?" Gu Yuanya said as she saw him go away.

Tangning shook her head, "They're already Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they still say such childish things. They don't need my approval to transfer disciples to the head of the Qingxuan Palace."

Gu Yuanya said: "It must be the bad guy who followed the name of the history. It is obvious that his disciple and grandson did something wrong. The master just reported it to the public to deal with it. He harbored resentment and deliberately retaliated. Fortunately, he is still the master of the Qingxuan Palace! How could it be so? Right from wrong, narrow-minded."

"Now I know why you were not allowed to participate! Many things in the sect are not as simple as you think." Tangning shook her head and said.

Shi Mingsui's move is definitely not revenge, at most it is just a reminder, or a proper vent, which is the attitude he must have as the master of Qingxuan Palace.

After all, the disciple and grandson whom he is trying to protect should be imprisoned. If he swallows his breath and doesn't move at all, he will appear weak instead.

It's just that Tangning didn't expect that he would take Xu Qingwan down with a knife. Thinking about it carefully, although it was expected, it was also reasonable.

Although Xu Qingwan did not participate in this matter, she is recognized as a confidant in the sect, and it is most suitable to use her to scare the chickens and monkeys. As for Ma Yuanze, Xu Zilong, as the deacon of the department, it is not easy to move them first, and it will affect them. quite large.

Therefore, Xu Qingwan became a scapegoat, and it was considered a disaster.
