It's night and I'm looking north at the town guard.
In the hall, the lights were bright, and the pretty maids brought plates of steaming delicacies like flowing water, and the round table was quickly filled.
After seven days, the garrison envoy Ji Yongtai entertained Wang Chen and Zuo Xiaomo here again.
He had apparently received the news that Wang Chen had left the country before, and then sent someone to deliver a verbal message.
Wang Chen happily accepted the appointment.
"Junior Brother Wang, it is common to fail in breaking through."
The guard of Beiwang City personally poured a glass of spiritual wine for Wang Chen and said with a smile: "When we reach the Zifu level, every mountain is higher than the next. We monks should climb up bravely without giving up!"
"Been taught a lesson."
Wang Chen cupped his fists and saluted, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
He secretly regretted it in his heart.
Ji Yongtai is a monk with a brave spirit. Such a temperament cannot be faked. As a disciple of the Xihai Sect who was born as a casual cultivator, his life path must be full of thorns and ups and downs.
Many people will give up and shrink back when encountering difficulties and setbacks.
But Ji Yongtai, as he said, is brave enough to climb without giving up!
It is a pity that there is a right way and an evil way to reach the peak. If you take the wrong path from the beginning, no matter how high you climb, you are destined to fall to pieces.
"Junior Brother Zuo..."
While Wang Chen was thinking, Ji Yongtai said to Zuo Xiaomo: "Don't be discouraged. In the past two days, I have tried to mobilize a group of combat cultivators to come back to help you. They are much better than those casual cultivators."
He sighed: "Rogue cultivators are all like this. They cherish their own lives when doing big things, and forget their righteousness when they see small profits. It is impossible to make them work hard, so these people are not worth relying on."
Zuo Xiaomo nodded subconsciously.
His biggest experience in recruiting casual cultivators these days is that these guys are really shrewd and slippery. Even if they recruit enough people, relying on them to eliminate the horse thieves is tantamount to wishful thinking.
But Zuo Xiaomo had a vague feeling that Ji Yongtai seemed to be laughing at him - even if his tone was sincere.
He and Wang Chen looked at each other.
"Come on, come on!"
Ji Yongtai raised his glass and said, "Let's not talk about these disappointing things. Let's have a good drink first!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly an earth-shattering roar outside.
It was as if a meteorite had fallen into the garrison, the ground shook violently, and the buildings trembled!
problem occurs!
Ji Yongtai's expression suddenly changed.
The garrison in Beiwang City was his home base for many years. Not only was it equipped with a powerful magic circle, it was also protected by dozens of high-level Qi-training monks.
Coupled with the fact that he is a monk from the Purple Mansion, even if the high-level Purple Mansion comes to attack, there is no way he can easily break through the defense of the Guarded Mansion.
But now Ji Yongtai clearly felt that the magic circle of the garrison was forcibly destroyed before it was opened!
Who is so capable?
Just as huge doubts arose in the mind of the guardian, a group of monks suddenly poured into the hall.
The leader was a tall, thin man with a sinister look on his face. As soon as he glanced at it, a deep aura suddenly enveloped the entire hall.
All the maids and attendants present knelt down involuntarily and trembled.
The man shouted in a deep voice: "Li Feiyuan, the head of the third hall of the Criminal Law Department, which one of you is Wang Chen?"
Wang Chen stepped forward without thinking and saluted: "Disciple Wang Chen, I have met Hall Master Li."
Ji Yongtai suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Chen, with a terrifying look in his eyes and a slight twitching of the corners of his mouth.
Li Feiyuan nodded: "Bring me the evidence."
Wang Chen immediately took out the jade box filled with letters from his storage bag and presented it to the other party with both hands.
At this time, Wang Chen was also very surprised.
Because this leader of the Heart Punishment Law Department came too quickly!
You must know that Beiwang City is on the border of Zhongzhou, very far away from the Xihai Zongshan Gate. Although he had previously used the Wanli Talisman Letter issued by the Zongmen to convey the news, the speed of response and the ferocity of the action were beyond imagination.
Wang Chen originally thought that the people from the sect would not arrive until at least tomorrow.
The result is here tonight!
Li Feiyuan's aura had clearly reached the peak level of Zifu, and the two people following him were also at the Zifu level.
The three of them formed a formation similar to the "Three Talents Formation", one behind the other, suppressing everyone in the hall.
As soon as he appeared, he was like a thunderous force.
This shows how seriously the sect attaches importance to this matter!
Li Feiyuan opened the jade box and did not read any of the letters inside. He just glanced at it with his consciousness and immediately lowered his face and stared at Ji Yongtai: "Ji Yongtai, do you know your guilt?"
Sweat broke out on Ji Yongtai's forehead, and he could hardly stand still under the pressure of Li Feiyuan's momentum.
But he gritted his teeth and replied: "Brother, I don't know what mistake I made!"
"hehe."
Li Feiyuan grabbed a few letters from the jade box: "These are the letters between you and the bandit leader, Taoist Xuanyi. You colluded with horse thieves to attack merchants and plunder herdsmen tribes. How dare you quibble with the irrefutable evidence?"
Ji Yongtai lowered his head: "Disciple has never done such a thing. Disciple is unjust. Please take a closer look, Master!"
"Unjustly accused?"
Li Feiyuan sneered and said: "Do you know that Wang Chen has killed Taoist Xuanyi, and it was he who found these letters?"
In order to prove the hall master's words, Wang Chen silently took out the body of Taoist Xuanyi from the storage bag.
Ji Yongtai's face turned pale instantly!
He never dreamed that Wang Chen would kill Taoist Xuanyi right under his nose.
Without the body, Ji Yongtai could have tried his best to argue that the letter was a forgery, and even poured dirty water on Wang Chen, accusing the latter of deliberately framing him.
But now the sect will only trust Wang Chen who has completed the task.
And the guardian envoy could not figure out how Wang Chen did this.
At this time, a cry came from the direction of the backyard.
At this time, the governor of Beiwang Town was completely controlled by the people brought by Li Feiyuan.
The few resisters turned into corpses on the ground!
"Ji Yongtai!"
Li Feiyuan shouted sternly: "What else do you have to quibble with?"
Ji Yongtai's face was ashen, and he no longer had any luck. He knelt on the ground slumped: "This disciple pleads guilty. I just ask you to let my wife go. They are innocent."
Ji Yongtai had already taken root in Beiwang City, married multiple wives, and had several children.
He knew very well that he would not be able to withstand the torture of the Criminal Law Department. The consequences would be more serious than if he confessed now, and would even harm his wife and children.
Li Feiyuan looked at Ji Yongtai who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes extremely indifferent: "You only have one chance."
Ji Yongtai's forehead was pressed against the cold floor: "Yes."
