Main Text Chapter 612: Arrest Them All
It's simply outrageous. The princes who serve as guardians for the emperor are supposed to set an example and be the first to abide by the laws of the capital. However, a group of palace masters below are actually brawling here, and the emperor has hired this place as a reward. They all ate everything into the dog's belly.
The group of people who were fighting vigorously below suddenly became silent. Seeing the appearance of Governor Lan, they felt guilty and stopped one by one in embarrassment.
Uh-huh! Lan Hou led a group of people and descended from the sky in an instant. He glanced at everyone coldly, "You are so brave. You dare to fight in the capital. Are you all impatient?"
"Grand Governor, we are not fighting, but someone has killed someone from our Immortal Palace. We are capturing the murderer and are about to hand him over to the Grand Governor!" Someone really knows how to speak. Someone from the Immortal Palace pointed at Miao Yi and shouted. Said: "Grand Governor, the murderer is here, please Grand Governor give justice to our Immortal Palace!"
Miao Yi also felt a little guilty when he saw Lan Hou. He subconsciously found himself behind someone and wanted to avoid the limelight. Unexpectedly, he was spotted by someone.
"Kill someone?" Lan Hou's face turned a little colder, and his eyes followed the situation. The person blocking Miao Yi couldn't stand his look, so he subconsciously stepped aside, leaving Miao Yi, who was slightly embarrassed, unable to hide. Seeing Miao Yi, Lanhou's eyes were slightly startled. Why is it this guy again?
Very few monks dare to make trouble in the capital. The yamen of the Dudu Mansion is relatively quiet. Most of those who dare to make trouble in the capital are ordinary people. There are really too many believers, so some trivial things are inevitable. There is a place for ordinary people who do not think it is a big deal. It's up to the government to deal with it, and it won't bother the governor's office. Therefore, it is rare to find someone like Master Miao who has a fate with the Dudu Mansion many times.
Lan Hou was puzzled, why did this guy get into trouble as soon as he showed up?
He personally participated in the investigation of the case of "lurker Miao Yi exposed at Fengyun Inn", so he knew some things that most people didn't know. Mu Fanjun, the Immortal of Love, also secretly arranged for a group of people to perform a secret mission in Liuyunshahai. Miao Yi actually did what many people couldn't do and successfully broke into Fengyun Inn and became Fengyun. The confidant next to the inn proprietress is surprisingly the anonymous Niu Er.
If Lan Hou had not personally participated in the investigation of this case, he would not have been able to believe that Miao Yi was actually the Niu Er who was quite famous in the spiritual world. Later, he almost lost his life because his identity was exposed and fled Liuyunshahai. Miao Yi's own confession also revealed the reason why his identity was exposed. A young teller named Ren Xuanming who was expelled from the Chamber of Commerce was involved in the Huyan family as the organizer of the case that year. This is also one of the reasons why Lan Hou participated in the investigation of this matter.
It was precisely because An Zhengfeng, who was in charge of Liuyunshahai from the Chamber of Commerce, submitted Miao Yi's testimony, and did not know what An Zhengfeng said, made Immortal Saint Mu Fanjun furious, which directly led to the decline of the Huyan family. Huyan Taibao, the first disciple of the Immortal Saint, is still facing the wall thinking about his mistakes. If not for the sake of being his chief disciple, it was finally found out that Huyan Taibao was indeed not involved in the assassination of Miao Yi, otherwise Huyan Taibao's life might have been lost.
Despite this, Immortal Saint Mu Fanjun punished Taibao Huyan quite severely. Not to mention the decline of the Huyan family, Taibao Huyan had to face the wall and think about it for ten thousand years!
So Lan Hou was very puzzled. He hadn't heard any news about Miao Yi for many years, but as soon as he heard the news, a series of things happened. Everything is no small matter, and finally I see this guy again. He's causing trouble on his own territory again, can't this guy just stop for a while?
Miao Yi didn't know that he already knew a lot of his secrets. It was inconvenient for him to reveal some of the secret missions he was key involved in. He could only defend himself and said: "Grand Governor Mingjian, Xianxing Palace is making excuses. It was Xianxing Palace who provoked me first, and also The people from the Immortal Palace took action first, and I had no choice but to take action in self-defense, which resulted in an accident! Grand Governor, many people here have witnessed it, which can prove that everything I said is true!"
The people in the Immortal Palace immediately shouted loudly: "This is definitely not an accident, but a deliberate murder!"
"Shut up, everyone!" Lan Hou scolded, then turned around and asked, "Who were killed?"
"Master Wen Jiuxian of the Ding Palace of the Immortal Palace, please take a look, Grand Governor!" The people from the Immortal Palace led Marquis Lan to a big tree not far away. They saw that Wen Jiuxian's body had turned from red to white, with bleeding from all the seven orifices. He died suddenly. died.
As soon as Lan Hou opened the hem of his robe, he squatted down, reached out and touched the two burned fist prints and one footprint on Wen Jiuxian's body, then checked Wen Jiuxian's internal injuries, and glanced back at Miao Yi with some surprise. He murmured in his heart, it turns out that this guy practices fire-based skills, and he does have some skills. No wonder why Niu Er became famous for winning ice souls in the Antarctic Ice Palace, it probably has something to do with this guy's practice of fire-based skills.
After standing up, he waved his hand and motioned for people to take Wen Jiuxian's body away. He turned back and said coldly: "Catch all those who participated in the fight! Take away all the onlookers too!"
Those who were watching were speechless. What does it have to do with us?
But everyone didn't dare to raise any objections. Almost all the palace masters in Chunhua Tower were wiped out in one fell swoop, and they all followed them to the Governor's Mansion honestly. Chunhua Tower immediately became deserted.
The other people who were taken away didn't matter. Only Huo Lingxiao complained secretly. The person he least wanted to meet was Lan Hou. He could be implicated in this. He cursed Miao Yi in his heart. Knowing you is a bad luck for eight lifetimes!
The open door of Tianlao was waiting for them. A group of people were driven in. The people from Mu Xing Palace and Sun Xing Palace were locked in one room. It was very crowded! The people in the Immortal Palace were locked in one room, while the others were crammed into several rooms without distinction.
The gate of the Heavenly Prison slammed shut, and someone immediately laughed: "You guys haven't seen this before, have you? This is the first time in history that all the palace masters of the entire Chen Road have been arrested and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. What kind of thing is this?"
"What does it have to do with us? We didn't make any noise, so why did the Grand Commander lock us up together?"
"Hey! Do you understand that innocent people are affected?"
"Now the palace masters have gone to the Heavenly Prison with the Lord's Envoy. The Grand Commander doesn't want to lock us up until the palace masters come back to take us away, right?"
Listening to the chat of the palace masters lying in front of the prison door, Miao Yi was somewhat speechless. This was the second time he was arrested and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. He was a little suspicious whether his fate was in conflict with the Governor's Office.
The first time he came to the capital, he killed someone from the Governor's Office and almost got into trouble. The second time he came to the capital, he killed someone from the Huyan family and had another encounter with the Governor's Office. This was the third time. He didn't intend to kill anyone, but he accidentally killed someone, and ran into the Governor's Office again.
Miao Yi found that he was in trouble whenever he ran into the Governor's Office, and he secretly cursed that it was bad luck.
But he didn't think about it. If he didn't cause trouble, why would the people from the Governor's Office look for him?
The people from the Muxing Palace glanced at Miao Yi from time to time, feeling aggrieved. He actually helped the most annoying guy to fight in the capital, and he didn't know what punishment he would receive next!
Miao Yi sighed and turned back to comfort everyone: "Don't worry, the Governor's Office can't do anything to so many hall masters."
No one responded.
Bang! The door of the sky prison opened again, and someone came in and opened a cell door. He didn't care about the people fighting here, and pointed at a hall master who had nothing to do with him and shouted: "Come out!"
The person was taken away, and the door was closed. Not long after, the door was opened, and another person was taken away, and it was repeated. Those onlookers who didn't participate in the fight went out one by one and never came back.
When it was Huo Lingxiao's turn, Huo Lingxiao realized that the onlookers were asked to provide testimony. He was somewhat relieved and answered the judge's questions honestly. However, he felt guilty about the Lan Hou who was sitting high up and watching the jade tablets expressionlessly.
After explaining what he saw, the judge let him go. However, when he walked to the door, he suddenly heard the cold voice of Lan Hou, "Huo Lingxiao!"
Huo Lingxiao's expression froze, his steps stopped, and he slowly turned around and bowed to the emperor, saying, "I am here, I wonder what the Grand Commander has to say?"
Lan Hou didn't even look at him straight in the eye, and continued to look at the testimony on the jade tablet in his hand, and said calmly, "Some things are better not to have unreasonable expectations, you can't afford to play!"
He didn't say anything after that, and the hall was quiet. The judges and others below didn't know why the Grand Commander suddenly said such a thing.
Huo Lingxiao naturally knew what the other party was referring to. He stood there for a while, and when he saw that Lan Hou stopped talking, he finally bowed and said, "I have taken note of the Grand Commander's suggestion. I will take my leave!" Then he left silently.
Those onlookers didn't know what the people who went out before said. When faced with evidence collection, they didn't dare to hide anything and told everything they saw and heard.
After all the witnesses were interrogated, the final result came out. It was nothing more than one result: Wen Jiuxian spoke rudely first, Miao Yi refuted, Wen Jiuxian was angry and started to fight first, but was beaten to death by Miao Yi with two punches and one kick!
It's pitiful that people died, but Wen Jiuxian was indeed wrong first. It's unreasonable to scold others and not let them scold back, and to beat others and not let them fight back.
As for those who fought, Lan Hou was too lazy to even try them, and they were locked up in the sky prison.
Two days later, the envoy Yue Tianbo led a group of palace masters back, and the other palace masters took their people back to their respective places. The palace masters of Xianxing Palace Nie Changkong and Muxing Palace Cheng Aofang stayed behind, because of the fight between their subordinates.
In the Golden Palace of Yudu Peak, after listening to Lan Hou's report to the envoy, Cheng Aofang was speechless. Miao Yi actually beat the palace master of Xianxing Palace to death?
Nie Changkong's face was as black as anything. His subordinates were beaten to death in the capital!
After reading the confessions of many palace masters, Yue Tianbo snorted coldly and threw out the jade tablet in his hand, "Look at what your subordinates have done!"
After reading the testimony, Cheng Aofang was relieved. It turned out that the other party was provoked first and was beaten to death by his own subordinates. Then we can't blame us.
After reading the testimony, Nie Changkong stared at Lan Hou coldly, "Lan Hou, don't you think there is something wrong with this testimony? Why is there only testimony from bystanders, but no testimony from anyone from either side of the fight?" (To be continued...)
