Star Trace Gate

Chapter 728: Slap in the face, bang bang bang

A small incident of a country boy's enlightenment put the Dragon City Lord in a dilemma.

He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of a better solution. Instead, he felt a little headache.

Ok? !

I'm the city lord, why should I worry so much? ! If this is a difficult matter, can't it be solved by handing it over to someone who is difficult to handle? Why should I worry and hurt myself?

Long Yuqing must be a person who takes good care of his body and is also a smart person, so he decided to avoid this thankless conflict.

"Mother Chun, go to Guanchun Garden and have a look. Someone sent me a bunch of chrysanthemums the other day, but they are very difficult to keep alive... Go and have a look to see if there is any way to preserve them." Long Yuqing always spoke slowly, which fit in perfectly with his cautious personality. To put it bluntly, he was a bit like a woman.

When Chunniang heard this, she immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, City Lord, for your kindness! Don't worry, as long as Julan can be saved, even if you have to use my blood to feed her, I will never say no."

"Go ahead." Long Yuqing nodded slightly.

Chunniang said no more, just turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey, wait a moment." Long Yuqing suddenly called out again.

"Master, do you have any other instructions?"

"Did your man die while traveling in the secret realm?" Long Yuqing asked calmly.

"Yes."

Chunniang's eyes dimmed as she answered truthfully.

"Okay, go ahead." Long Yuqing just nodded but didn't say anything else.

"The slaves retire."

Chunniang responded and left quickly.

Long Yuqing sat on a chair, playing with the Buddhist beads in his right hand, and said after a long pause: "Butler Bao, go call Mingtang."

"Yes, Master."

"Oh, right." Long Yuqing paused for a moment and added, "Take out 50,000 Star Sources from the account office in the mansion and give them to Chunniang when she leaves. She has been in the mansion for about seven or eight years. She has always been diligent in taking care of the exotic flowers and plants in Guanchun Garden. She is a smart and careful woman. Now that her husband is gone, it is not easy for a woman to raise five children... Just consider it as a good deed."

"Young master is so kind-hearted, he will surely be rewarded by heaven in the future." Butler Bao replied respectfully and trotted away.

Not long after.

A middle-aged man with ordinary looks but extraordinary temperament walked into the hall with square steps.

The middle-aged man was wearing a dark blue suit and looked to be about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. He had a calm expression and restrained eyes.

This man's name is Yang Mingtang. He is Long Yuqing's elder brother-in-law and the prefect of Chaolong City. He is in charge of the city's government orders. His status is equivalent to that of Qingliang Prefecture's god of staying up late - Brother Huang.

Although Long Yuqing is the lord of a city, at his current age, he has only married one wife, who is the one he mentioned earlier as "an unlucky grave."

The wife's name is Yang Ling'er, who is three years younger than Long Yuqing and has been a famous beauty in Chaolong City since she was a child. Her father is Yang Ganglie, a veteran of two dynasties in Chaolong City. When Long Yuqing's father was still the mayor of the city, Yang Ganglie was already the highest military officer in charge of the troops of the entire city.

Moreover, Yang Ganglie and Long Yuqing's father were sworn brothers and had a very good relationship.

This veteran general of two dynasties had two sons, a daughter, and more than a dozen nephews and nieces of the Yang family, all of whom were outstanding talents. Therefore, the marriage between Long Yuqing and Yang Ling'er was the result of an arranged marriage between the two elders.

It was precisely because of this arranged marriage and the strong support of his father-in-law, the Yang family, that Long Yuqing was able to securely take over the position of city lord from his father and inherit the family business.

However, his overly cautious character always made the hot-tempered Yang family members feel helpless, and even jump up and down to curse.

Especially the brother-in-law Yang Mingtang in front of him. He really looked down on his brother-in-law Long Yuqing from the bottom of his heart. He always felt that this man's eggs might be stuck with paste. He had no blood, and he was full of plans but lacked decision-making.

"Why did the city lord ask me to come here?" Although Yang Mingtang looked down on his brother-in-law, he still addressed him as the city lord in front of outsiders.

"Brother, come quickly, come and sit down..." Long Yuqing waved his hand: "I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Yang Mingtang was puzzled and walked to sit on the chair facing south.

"Brother, don't sit over there. I can't face south today. It would be unlucky."

"......!" Yang Mingtang patiently changed a chair and showed an expression that said if you have to fart, just do it quickly and don't get your teeth stuck there.

“That’s it…!”

When Long Yuqing saw him sit down, he gave a detailed account of what had happened in Chunniang's family.

Yang Mingtang frowned after listening to this and said, "Do we need to think about this? Execute the foreigner who hurt others, detain the gardener's family, and give face to the Xianlan Sect. Isn't that enough?"

"Brother, didn't you understand? That outsider is of great importance, and... and I owe Chunniang a favor." Long Yuqing emphasized.

"Ah."

Yang Mingtang sneered, "No matter how important the outsider is, he is at most a dragon that has crossed the river, and a dragon whose true or false is unknown. But the Xianlan Sect is an existence that can cover the sky with one hand here, and it is a behemoth that will weigh on our heads all day long. Because of a dragon whose true or false is unknown, to offend a real dragon, which is more serious, do you still need to think carefully?"

"Listen to me, execute the outsider and give an explanation to the Xianlan Sect."

Although his words were cruel, this was the law of survival in the Jiuli Continent. From their perspective, there was nothing wrong with his words.

"Brother, what you said makes sense. But I thought about it carefully... If the Taoist priests of Xianlan Sect were beaten to death, then blood debt must be paid with blood. Because this is a deadly feud, there is no way to resolve it." Long Yuqing's expression was tangled like an inflamed donkey bladder, and he said in embarrassment: "But now, they only injured two menial disciples, no one was killed, and it was just a relief. In this way, it won't be difficult to ask Xianlan Sect to give us face. There is no need to execute those outsiders!"

"Think about it, if what Chun Niang said is true, then these outsiders must be disciples of a large sect with strong backgrounds."

"You were killed without any clear reason. This matter cannot be resolved peacefully."

"Also, we have a reason to suppress this matter. After all, Chunniang works in the mansion, and it makes sense for us to protect our own people."

"in addition……!"

"Okay, okay." Yang Mingtang was most annoyed by his brother-in-law's nagging. A simple matter would be broken down and analyzed from eight thousand angles. Even when he was making a little man with his sister, he had to choose a bed sheet color that matched the day, otherwise he would not swing the exquisite hoe in his crotch.

He waved his hand to interrupt, then frowned and said, "In my opinion, don't offend the Xianlan Sect. But you are the city lord, if you have made a decision, I will go and solve the matter."

Having said this, Long Yuqing immediately stopped wasting time and just smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

Fuck you, you little hoe, I'm just being polite, you really want me to go? Isn't this going to make me offend the Xianlan Sect? !

"Go quickly, the person has been brought here." Long Yuqing looked at him wisely.

"...!"

Yang Mingtang held it in for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

After saying this, he didn't want to stay in this hall for even a minute, so he quickly walked away and headed for the Ministry of Justice in Chaolong City.

……

Inside the Xingbu Yamen.

Ren Ye and more than ten others were surrounded by a group of Chaolong Guards and stood in the yard, waiting for their fate.

In the hall.

The chief officer of the Ministry of Justice has arrived and has met the fourth-rank expert from the Xianlan Sect, as well as Prime Minister Turtle who had just been helped out.

The chief official of the Ministry of Justice was as fat as a meatball and a smooth person. When he saw the fourth-rank expert from the Xianlan Sect, he nodded and said in a flattering manner: "Master He, I have a rough idea of ​​what happened in this case..."

"hehe."

Taoist Priest He smiled slightly, pretending to be aloof, and asked with his eyelids drooping, "So how do you plan to judge this case?"

"If a foreigner dares to hurt a disciple of our Xianlan Sect, there is no doubt about it... His soul will be shattered and his mind will be shattered to death." The chief official of the Ministry of Justice only listened to the Xianlan Sect's words, and then he decisively "judged": "This subordinate will order people to put the murderer in jail and lock him up first. Don't they all have children? After they are locked up, they will be asked to pay compensation for the injury. Otherwise, the children will not be healed. Let them spit out all their star sources first... and then execute them."

"Don't worry, the people in my Ministry of Justice are familiar with this process. Within three days, the person will be killed, and the compensation Xingyuan will be handed over to you in full."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Turtle clasped his fists and said, "Master has come here to make the decision for me. I will not take a penny of the compensation for Xingyuan. I will only give it to Master and use it for daily pocket money. But... these few people... hehe, I will personally interrogate them."

When Taoist Priest He heard this, he naturally looked like an immortal and nodded slightly: "Then let's act according to the law."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, the chief of the Criminal Department shouted into the courtyard, "I have sorted out the case. Six outsiders committed crimes against the law and injured the Taoist priest of Xianlan Sect. Their methods were cruel and outrageous. In order to demonstrate the power of the laws of Chaolong City, I sentence the six outsiders to be imprisoned immediately and executed in three days. The rest of the accomplices will also be imprisoned and await their fate."

The shouts of the great judge echoed in the courtyard for a long time, making Ren Ye and others furious.

It’s so dark and so fucking brutal…

The chief official of the Ministry of Justice did not even meet the "criminal" but issued an order to execute him in three days. This shows how many wronged people there are in Chaolong City on a daily basis, becoming the souls killed by the sword in this chaotic place.

"Hurrah!"

"go!"

After hearing the chief official's call, a centurion held down the steel knife with one hand and pushed Ren Ye with the other: "Put on the death row shackles and send him to the prison."

Ren Ye's forehead veins bulged, and he looked sternly at the main office of the Ministry of Justice, which had a plaque of integrity hanging on it. His hands actually began to tremble slightly.

"Hahahaha!"

At this moment, Prime Minister Turtle was helped out. Although his body was covered with shocking wounds and he looked extremely embarrassed, he held his head high, stood proudly at the door of the execution hall in charge of the law, and laughed out loud.

"A bunch of frogs in a well, so what if they have some powerful magical powers?!"

"In the five cities of Xianlan, I can crush you bunch of trash to death, just like crushing a group of ants!"

"Aren't you going to protect the offspring of that unlucky woman?!"

"I'm telling you, I'm not done with killing you! I'm also going to exile all of these wild kids to war-torn areas to be slaves and prostitutes!"

"I will make sure that Xing Hong, who died in a foreign land, will never be able to close his eyes in the underworld! And the ones who caused all this are you blind ants!"

"...!"

Now that Prime Minister Turtle had someone to back him up, he became like an old dog on a leash, baring his teeth and showing off his power.

In the hall.

The chief official of the Ministry of Justice was bowing and nodding to serve the fourth-rank Taoist priest He, while the Taoist priest himself was looking at Ren Ye with a mocking look, as if he was too disdainful to say a word.

"I want to kill him, right now!"

Old Liu frowned very rarely, and looked at Prime Minister Turtle with a somewhat empty gaze.
