Shang Zhuguo, who was controlling this sea of blooming flowers, was stunned for a moment.
He was heartily confessing his feelings, using his emotions to drive the sword's heart to a state where he and the sword had a better understanding, gaining unprecedented power. Who would have thought that Xing Ji would suddenly say such a sentence, and who would tell him anything about the past?
Already?
Shang Zhuguo frowned and suddenly shuddered.
He looked head-on, and a bright yellow ball suddenly appeared behind Xingji.
The ball has the luster of a gemstone, and there is a round dark bead embedded in the center.
A bead holds a bead, just like...an eye.
That eye and Xing Ji's eyes, a total of three eyes, looked at him at the same time.
Xing Ji's eyes were sharp, but Shang Zhuguo didn't care. The swordsman's eyes were naturally sharp, so could his eyes be blurry?
Only this gemstone's eyes were staring at him, and his heart sank for a moment, as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing down on his chest. Even the summer flowers on the tree were slightly stagnant.
Although he has never met Marquis Gao Yuan, let alone fought against Marquis Gao Yuan, he has been active in Yunzhou for a long time, how can he not know the reputation of Marquis Gao Yuan? The turtle bandits have also been collecting information about Marquis Gao Yuan.
Marquis Gao Yuan's reputation has always been related to her "clear perception" and "far-sightedness", which means that she has a great vision, amazing eyesight, and undoubted observation and wisdom. It is speculated that her sword is also related to the auxiliary ability of observation, then
The sword elephant is probably an eye!
It is said that Marquis Gao Yuan is not famous for his strong combat power. But it would be foolish to underestimate Gao Yuanhou's strength because of this. You must know that Gao Yuanhou almost rode north to Yunzhou alone and suppressed the chaos with his own strength.
When Zhongtian Mansion was on the verge of collapse, more than one or two swordsmen were eliminated. They also took action to defeat Lihuo Prison, which was the worst disaster that day, and then slowly gathered talents and built troops, leading to today's situation. If there is no powerful person among them,
How can we succeed if we have strength?
If Xia Zhuguo wants to look down on Xing Ji, he has one point - what is a swordsman? The gap between swordsmen at the same level is wider than that of humans and dogs. Xing Ji is not even ranked among the six great swordsmen under Gao Yuanhou. But he is absolutely not
Dare to look down on Marquis Gao Yuan, even if it is a magic weapon that Marquis Gao Yuan has given away.
What's more, this magical weapon is so powerful that the awe-inspiring feeling he felt just now was not a psychological effect.
He shouted: "Okay, is this what you rely on? If you can't beat me, please ask your adults to help you? I'm afraid that a mere magic weapon is not enough, why don't you just invite the old woman over? You two are against me.
, what do I have to fear?”
Xing Ji's brows darkened slightly, and then he said seriously: "I'm not asking you for help. I'm asking her to be a witness for me. I have something to ask you."
As he spoke, the luster in his yellow eyes changed, and it looked like he blinked.
"Ten years ago, a sinister disaster was reported in Pingming City, Yunzhou. The place of occurrence was Zhouxiang outside the city. It was said that someone saw huge flowers blooming in the sky at dawn. People don't understand. Whenever they see a strange sign, they say it is a sinister disaster.
At that time, the Pingming District Inspectorate arrived at noon the next day, but found that Zhouxiang was empty and there were no traces of people. But there was no trace of any flowers..."
Xia Shangzhuguo heard this and remained silent, but saw a slight sneer.
Xing Ji's tone was more serious than ever before, but his voice was not high-pitched, and his words could be heard far away.
Tang Zhao and Deputy Chi almost heard this interrogation together, and almost both felt moved in their hearts.
Tang Zhao winked at Deputy Commander Chi. Deputy Commander Chi didn't know whether he saw Tang Zhao's look, but he did what Tang Zhao wanted to do - he took out a small cage from his side and gently
With a slight shake, the cage becomes larger.
That cage was a special arresting device used by the Prosecution Department, which was enough to arrest swordsmen and ordinary demons. It contained one of the two big gains this time - the red-haired Shangzhuguo Zhou Chengzhi.
The red-haired Shang Zhuguo was trapped in his obsession and could not escape. He might have been addicted for a long time. Deputy Commander Chi knocked him out and put him in a cage, which was considered a rescue. Once he fell into a coma and lost consciousness, there was no need to
Think about what you are obsessed with and don’t be obsessed with it anymore. And if the breath is blocked in the cage, the unconscious person will not wake up easily.
Deputy Chi opened the red-haired prisoner's cage a crack, and a breath of fresh air blew in, causing Zhou Chengzhi to wake up slowly.
He immediately turned over and jumped up. Deputy Chi opened his mouth and wanted to explain the cause and effect, but Zhou Chengzhi was suddenly startled and his eyes were dull.
He raised his head and stared at the huge flowers on the towering trees. The shadows of the flowers were reflected in his eyes, making his pupils shrink.
Tang Zhao and Deputy Ambassador Chi were both startled. Although it was predictable, they still couldn't help but be surprised - is it really such a coincidence?
Or... this is not a coincidence?
"Because the description of the towering flowers by the citizen who made the first report was too bizarre and incompatible with the known demons, phantoms, and beasts, it was speculated that the person was delusional due to the influence of the phantom. As for the mysterious disappearance of those villagers, no one cared about it.
.After all, Zhouxiang is a gathering place for refugees from Yinhuo Township. It is a forgotten place. Maybe the refugees could not stand the exclusion and moved away overnight?"
"After all, it was a period of chaos in Yunzhou. There were too many prosecutors and they just muddle along, and the people who just ate the corpses did not get to the bottom of it. The case of the disappearance of the village became an unsolved case, and no one remembers it to this day."
Xia Shangzhuguo said calmly: "No one remembers? Don't you remember?"
Xing Ji said in a deep voice: "Of course I remember. At that time, I was also one of the casual members of the District Prosecution Department who investigated. Of course, I was also one of those District Prosecution Departments who were not doing their jobs properly. Although I had suspicions at that time, I did not go into details. I just
I still remember the legend of that flower. Now that I saw your swordsmanship, I remembered it. Were you the one who released those flowers? Those villagers who disappeared..."
He paused and said, "Did you get eaten by flowers?"
"Eat? They're just relieved."
Old Shang Zhuguo looked indifferent, but little did he know that at his feet, a red-haired young man's face changed drastically.
"If you don't tell me, I have forgotten this incident. After all, who still remembers what happened ten years ago? Since you still remember it, then you are resenting it? In fact, there is no need for it. The serious people who are harmed by your government are all
If you can’t count them, why bother pretending to care about those hairy monsters? What’s the point of living for the refugees in Yinhuo Township? After being polluted, they lose the possibility of life blooming. Life has withered, and it has arrived early in autumn and winter. Not only does it wither quickly,
Moreover, it falls into the mud, becomes polluted and stinks in the muddy water, and is trampled, ravaged, and ground into dust over and over again. Is this kind of life really meaningful?"
It took a lot of effort for Deputy Chi to suppress Zhou Chengzhi's hysteria. He had to threaten: "If you don't want to hear it, just faint. There's no need to listen to you anyway."
Zhou Chengzhi became a little quieter and was still breathing heavily.
Xing Ji said: "It makes sense or it doesn't make sense. It's not your turn to decide. It's also not your turn to be a dirty person who curls your lips and says others are polluted. What are you talking about? Do you admit that you did it?"
Why? You, a swordsman, want to massacre civilians? Are the people of this village blocking your way? Or are you guys working with the Demon Cult and playing some kind of sacrifice trick? Or..."
After all, there are not many reasons for a swordsman who is considered a big shot to find trouble in Yin Huoxiang. He pondered for a moment and said the reason that just came to his mind: "For what reason, do you want to kill people and silence them?"
Zhou Chengzhi suddenly became quiet.
Lao Zhuguo said: "Huh? Why? How do I know? I have long forgotten what I did ten years ago. There may be a reason. But what does this have to do with you? Do I still need to tell you everything about the Wei Dynasty?
You report? Since when did you care so much about Yinhuixiang?"
Xing Ji said: "When interrogating a confession, you naturally have to ask about the motive. But it's okay if you can't find out. It's a bit regretful at most. Anyway, you confessed to the crime. As for the crime of conspiracy to usurp and treason, naturally you won't deny it?"
Lao Zhuguo snorted and said: "What kind of rebellion? It's just a puppet dynasty. When we return to Zhengshuo, you will be just a group of thieves."
Xing Ji said: "Okay, you have admitted the crime of rebellion. Not to mention the crime of attacking Zhuoyu Villa and snatching the sword. I can testify that you have no excuse."
Lao Zhuguo said suddenly: "It's a sin for us to take back our own things? It's really an attempt to inflict a crime."
Xing Ji raised his voice, pointed at him, and shouted: "Sheng Wubing, what other crimes do you have to confess? Collaborating with evil spirits, killing people and stealing goods, raping and plundering, bullying men and women, cheating and kidnapping, pickpocketing on the street, eating the king's meal...
…Haven’t you ever committed these crimes?”
Lao Zhuguo was furious, his beard trembling with anger, he raised his sword and said: "Junior, how dare you be rude?"
Xing Ji solemnly said: "It seems that you don't intend to explain, which will make it difficult to clear up some unjust cases. However, it is enough for you."
As he said that, he thought about the eyeballs and cupped his hands.
Behind the back, the wanted poster for Xia Shangzhu Kingdom unfolded automatically, making a buzzing sound in the wind, and the lines of blurry handwriting suddenly became clear, as if they had been rewritten by a hand.
"A wanted warrant has been issued."
"The suspect Sheng Wubing has arrived."
"The sky is clear and the sun is clear, and the case is tried in court."
"No torture was used."
"Three charges, the criminal confessed."
"The witnesses are all there, face to face to prove it."
"The review has been completed."
"Judgment——"
He spoke word by word, his voice was calm and waveless, and the eye-like gem on his head looked down at everything quietly.
However, Sheng Wubing couldn't help but feel flustered. Suddenly his sword energy exploded, and his momentum suddenly increased——
"Bright as a summer flower——!"
Countless summer flowers suddenly withered, and even the big trees that were drowned by the flowers began to wither, and the bark of the trees turned into slag as if they were weathered. The cicadas screamed shrilly, and they fell downwards. Their vitality was burned to the extreme. There was only one huge flower.
Standing out, like the sun covering the world above the clouds. Countless petals spread out, pressing down like the top of Xing Ji's head.
It was as if Xing Ji had not been seen before, his voice was steady and serious, even with unquestionable majesty:
"Sheng Wubing's crime is extremely heinous and full of evil. He should be sentenced to death - beheaded."
The huge petals reached the top of his head.
"Goujue - Mingzhengdian punishment!"
He drew a stroke out of thin air, as if holding a red pen.
On the wanted poster, a huge red hook appeared on Sheng Wubing's name.
At the same time, a bright red flashed across the void.
