Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 249 The Alert Ghost Douluo

When Niu Lanfang and Wang Mingxu escorted the seven people back to Tiandou City, it seemed to attract a lot of whispers along the roadside.

Some people even recognized the seven robbers, and it seemed like they were moving around and about to take some action.

Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu ignored them all and simply escorted the seven people into Tiandou City, heading directly to the Judgment Department of Tiandou City.

However, the two were disappointed when they arrived at the adjudication department.

According to personnel in the adjudication department, as a law enforcement agency, it requires an order from the executive branch, followed by confirmation from the supervisory department and the courts, before it can be executed. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, it generally cannot act independently.

The two men were speechless for a moment, then escorted the seven people to the Ministry of Supervision.

The Ministry of Supervision was very enthusiastic. As soon as they heard that someone had robbed someone on the road, a group of people got excited, as if they had achieved a sales target.

The person in charge of the Supervision Department here is Ghost Douluo. Normally, this kind of trivial matter wouldn't be his place to get involved, but for some reason, he actually came to find out the situation himself.

However, when Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu brought the seven men to the Ministry of Supervision, they immediately recanted their confessions and accused Wang Lanfang of using force to attack them, causing them injuries.

Ghost Douluo served as the Deputy Minister of Supervision for over ten years, and previously was in charge of the Spirit Hall's punishments. Naturally, he could spot such criminals at a glance.

However, both sides are currently giving conflicting accounts, and there seems to be no compelling evidence. On the contrary, the wounds on these seven people are clear evidence that Wang Lanfang physically assaulted them.

Before Ghost Douluo could even decide what measures to take, a bunch of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, presumably the backers behind the seven.

These people came forward to testify, proving that Wang Lanfang had assaulted others without cause, and instead demanded that Ghost Douluo deal with Wang Lanfang and uphold justice for the victims.

Wang Lanfang was so angry she almost vomited blood.

Wang Mingxu seemed to have been prepared, as he took out a recording device from his person. The device actually captured a detailed recording of the battle, including the robbery by the seven men.

As a result, not only were the charges against the seven people confirmed, but a whole bunch of people who committed perjury were also arrested. If things continue like this, it seems like the scope of the case is getting wider and wider.

Before long, a group of people came out to plead for Ghost Douluo. It seemed that these people all had powerful connections and backers.

This left Ghost Douluo momentarily at a loss as to what to do.

If everyone present is dealt with, a large number of people will likely be arrested, including some acquaintances. But if no one is dealt with, it seems unreasonable, and I wouldn't know how to explain it to the minister.

Some people approached Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu directly, expressing their willingness to settle privately and offer some compensation, and their words seemed to carry a threatening tone.

It's as if Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu would make enemies of many people if they didn't agree to reconcile.

Wang Lanfang, who is always fearless, why would she reconcile with this group of bandits? Instead, she insisted on dealing with them, as Ghost Douluo had done.

Ghost Douluo looked at Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he remembered that according to everyone present, Wang Lanfang, a girl, had actually defeated a lineup of two Soul Saints and three Soul Emperors, demonstrating her considerable strength.

Especially considering her young age, around 20, yet possessing the strength of a Soul Saint, and able to crush so many people without taking any damage, something even I couldn't do when I was a Soul Saint.

The other man was extremely meticulous; he was even able to use a soul tool to record the fight, which clearly showed he was no ordinary person either.

Ghost Douluo addressed Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu, saying, "Young friends, judging from your appearance, you must come from extraordinary backgrounds. May I ask where you are from?"

Huang Lanfang casually said, "My brother and I both come from the Academy of Elements."

"May I see your Soul Master certificates, young friends?"

Wang Lanfang looked puzzled, but still took out her Soul Master certificate.

Ghost Douluo took the Soul Master certificates from the two men and examined them carefully. The certificates stated: Wang Lanfang, female, born in [year] [month], teacher at the Elemental Academy, Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix, Soul Saint. Wang Mingxu, male, born in [year] [month], teacher at the Elemental Academy, Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix, Soul Saint.

Ghost Douluo carefully examined the Soul Master's certificate several times, seemingly trying to confirm something. In particular, he noticed that the two figures looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

However, Ghost Douluo finally spoke up: "You two are both teachers at the Elemental Academy, do you know your former dean, Huo Tianchen?"

"Senior Ghost Douluo, do you know my great-grandfather? I haven't seen my grandfather in a long time, and I plan to go to Phoenix City to visit him in a few days."

"Is Dean Hida Tatsumi your great-grandfather?"

"Of course, you can't fake something like that. How could someone mistake their own great-grandfather?"

Ghost Douluo observed the two figures again and couldn't help but swallow hard: Why is my luck so bad? I finally got to try a case and I ran into these two.

I remember that Dean Huo Tianchen only had one granddaughter, Empress Huo Wu. Does that mean that the two people mentioned earlier are Emperor Wang Xiaofei's son and daughter?

Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo quickly straightened his expression and then solemnly addressed the people beside him: "Men, throw all these highway robbers into jail, throw all these perjurs into jail, and throw all these pleaders into jail. Send all of them to the City of Slaughter within the specified time."

Everyone present was shocked. They had just been discussing why they were suddenly being arrested, and sent directly to the Killing City. Even those who pleaded for mercy were being arrested.

One of the jurors seemed to find it a bit too harsh: "Your Excellency, isn't this trial a little too severe?"

Ghost Douluo glared at the person next to him: "My judgment was conducted entirely in accordance with the laws of the Douluo Federation. If you have any objections, I can send you to the City of Slaughter as well."

Ghost Douluo turned to Wang Lanfang and the other woman with a smile and said, "I wonder what you two think of this trial? Does it meet your needs?"

Seeing Wang Lanfang's indifferent attitude, Wang Mingxu quickly spoke up: "Thank you, Senior Ghost Douluo, for upholding justice. Isn't it a bit... a waste to send everyone to the Killing City?"

Before Wang Mingxu could finish speaking, Ghost Douluo spoke again: "It is indeed a bit loose."

"You two can rest assured that I will eradicate the forces behind them to uphold the laws of my Douluo Federation."

……

Wang Lanfang was quite pleased to hear this, while Wang Mingxu was speechless. Shouldn't these officials protect each other? Why are they being dealt with more severely here? Moreover, judging from what Ghost Douluo just said, he wanted to eradicate the forces behind them completely.

Moreover, he clearly felt the punishment was too severe, so how did it become too lenient in Ghost Douluo's mouth?

Ultimately, the case began and ended inexplicably. Wang Mingxu was completely baffled, feeling like he'd missed something.

When Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu left the Supervision Department, Ghost Douluo also breathed a sigh of relief.

An official from the Ministry of Supervision spoke up: "Lord Ghost Douluo, isn't this trial a bit too severe? And it has far-reaching implications."

Ghost Douluo seemed a little angry: "What do you know? Have you ever seen such a young Soul Saint? How many Soul Masters with the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul have you seen? Don't you know that these two came from the Elemental Academy?"

The official was still a little confused: "What's the problem?"

Ghost Douluo was speechless for a moment: "Don't follow me anymore. I'm afraid your presence will lower my IQ."

Another official nearby seemed to understand: "Lord Ghost Douluo, could these two be someone of considerable importance?"

Ghost Douluo chuckled twice: "It's more than just having a powerful background. No, I need to follow these two along the way to prevent them from getting into danger."

Ghost Douluo quickly said to the second person who spoke, "You will be in charge of the affairs of the Heaven Dou City Surveillance Department for the time being. I have something to attend to and I'll be leaving now."

Before anyone could react, it vanished in a ghostly shadow.
