Chapter 72 Mr. Dou was arrested!

Oh no! It's a Title Douluo! And a royal guest elder at that! That Prince Xue Xing, who was tricked, saved Dugu Bo's life. It's said that Dugu Bo is both righteous and wicked, always acting solely on his own whims. He's also ruthless, narrow-minded, and leaves no room for future trouble, eliminating anyone who might threaten him. He has no shame, doesn't hesitate to bully the weak, and his first reaction to anyone who might be a threat is to eliminate them. We're doomed!

Master Yu turned pale as he recalled Dugu Bo's information, knowing that the master and disciple were about to be captured.

"Good to know!"

Seeing that Master Yu had finally recognized his identity, Dugu Bo was too lazy to waste any more words. He unleashed his powerful soul power at the Title Douluo level, knocking the two masters and disciples unconscious on the spot and taking them away.

Meanwhile, in Tiandou City, countless citizens were swindled out of millions of gold soul coins by Master Yu and his disciples and Mr. Dou. The citizens were searching everywhere for the swindlers' whereabouts, a situation that also attracted the attention of Xue Qinghe, who was disguised as Qian Renxue.

You have to understand that Qian Renxue has only been in power for a short time and hasn't even settled into her position yet. This kind of thing has happened in Tiandou City under her feet. Isn't this a slap in the face for her?

Because the matter involved too many people and the number and scope of the victims were so vast, Qian Renxue used the identity of Xue Qinghe to contact the Spirit Hall and ask the Spirit Hall to cooperate in mobilizing all the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters across the continent to arrest Mr. Dou.

It's conceivable that if the Spirit Hall and the royal family had perfectly cooperated to end the chaos caused by this scam, the relationship between the royal family and the Spirit Hall would have greatly improved, allowing Qian Renxue more time to plan and strategize. At that time, the Spirit Hall's unification of the continent would be just around the corner.

It should be noted that in the Douluo Continent, whether it is the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, every city has a branch of the Spirit Hall. With the Pope of the Spirit Hall agreeing to arrest him, there is practically nowhere for Mr. Dou to hide except in the Spirit Beast Forest. Moreover, Mr. Dou is not as ruthless as Master Yu or Tang San, who can live like a primitive man in the Spirit Beast Forest.

After a thorough house-to-house search by the Soul Masters of the various branches of the Spirit Hall, Mr. Dou was arrested and sent to Heaven Dou City for public interrogation within three days.

"What a fine Mr. Dou!"

Qian Renxue preemptively shouted an angry voice, trying to intimidate the other party and put herself in a superior position to facilitate subsequent interrogation. Mr. Dou, on the other hand, remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever, as if he had never committed fraud before.

"Why is Your Highness so angry? Has something happened?"

After looking around, Mr. Dou realized that Master Yu and Tang San were not there, and obviously had not been caught yet, which gave him a lot of confidence.

To Qian Renxue, his actions seemed completely bewildered.

"Mr. Dou, residents of Tiandou City have reported you for defrauding millions of gold soul coins. We have witnesses, so why don't you plead guilty?"

"I'm innocent! I've been framed!"

Upon hearing the charge against him, Mr. Dou immediately shouted that he was innocent.

"How dare I, an ordinary citizen, do such a thing! I've been framed!"

As he shouted, tears streamed down Mr. Dou's face, and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, none of this has anything to do with me! I've admitted to the witnesses! But what about the physical evidence? Even Your Highness needs to provide physical evidence! This wasn't a case of me committing fraud at all!"

Where is the physical evidence?

Qian Renxue waved her hand, signaling the servant to take the evidence, but the servant told her that he didn't know where Mr. Dou had hidden the evidence.

"Is this your source of confidence?"

Seeing that there was no physical evidence and Mr. Dou refused to admit it, Qian Renxue also considered using torture.

"Men, beat him! Beat him until he talks!"

"Wait! Your Highness! I'm truly innocent! Even if you kill me, I still won't know where those gold soul coins are!"

Seeing that the servants around him looked like they were about to beat him to death, Mr. Dou immediately shifted the blame to the master and his disciples, who had not yet been caught.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

Anyway, it seems like those two people can't be found now. They're just talking nonsense, they can say whatever they want.

As long as I can get away, I'll be free to roam the world. Let this bunch of idiots bear all the blame!

"I didn't plan any of this! It was all the work of Master Yu and his disciples!"

"How could a commoner like me have the ability and audacity to deceive the royal family!"

As Mr. Dou spoke, he tearfully accused Master Yu and his disciples of bullying and threatening him. His acting skills were so good that if Master Yu and Tang San were also in the same boat, they would definitely have to become his disciples.

"Here's what happened. This was all part of a plan devised by Master Yu and his apprentice. They used force to coerce me into covering for their scheme, then swindled everyone out of their gold soul coins to draw attention to me, allowing the two of them to escape. I've been a victim from beginning to end!"

"Nonsense! If you were being coerced, why didn't you secretly report it to the guards of Tiandou City? I don't believe they could keep such a close watch on you! I think you're clearly lying!"

Qian Renxue was not so easily fooled and immediately noticed something was amiss.

Seeing that His Highness was not so easily deceived, Mr. Dou also used his deceptive rhetoric of nine truths and one lie, selectively telling some of the truth.

"I'm innocent! I really didn't lie! Your Highness, I didn't report them because these two told me that after they swindled the gold soul coins, they would tell me to go ahead and find a place to wait for them. They said they would give me a share of the gold soul coins they had swindled. I was blinded by the gold soul coins and didn't think things through, which is why I didn't report them!"

"Are these two really that stupid? Giving me all the gold soul coins and letting me go first?"

While secretly laughing at how foolish the two were, Mr. Dou outwardly wore a wronged expression.

"Who knew that after I hid there and waited for them for so long, they didn't come looking for me with gold soul coins. Instead, it was the Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall who came and captured me!"

"I didn't have any Gold Soul Coins to begin with! So there's definitely no physical evidence! Those Gold Soul Coins were never on me in the first place! I'm innocent!"

"Master Yu and Tang San are the masterminds! I am also a victim; all those gold soul coins are with those two! I beg Your Highness to see the truth!"

Seeing how logically Mr. Dou spoke, and considering the criminal records of the two master and apprentice, Qian Renxue began to believe Mr. Dou's story. After all, Mr. Dou had been arrested, while the other two were hiding somewhere. If they were victims, why were they hiding even better than Mr. Dou? So they were the masterminds!

While the interrogation was still in full swing, Shen He decided to take advantage of the interrogation to go to Sunset Forest and try to find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire from the original story.
