174 If you want to add a crime, why worry about it!

"Feng Shui Secretary Xin Yu and his apprentice Fang Ce, the Holy One suspects that you are colluding with the court to arrest good and evil Taoists. Please come with me! I am the chief arrester of the capital!"

A majestic voice sounded.

I saw a man with a strong breath coming from the crowd, and he also held an execution order in his hand.

"This...the Holy One suspects that I am colluding with good and evil Taoists?"

Xin Yu looked at the order in the man's hand with disbelief. This thing was beyond her expectation. She never imagined that she would be suspected by the Holy Emperor!

Because of things about good and evil Taoists?

Fang Ce was also surprised. He didn't expect that this matter would be so serious, and it would even alarm the Holy One! What heinous crime did this good and evil Taoist commit to have such an impact?

After all, behind the beautiful boss there is a transcendent existence like Taoist Shengtian. From various signs, the Holy One should also know that it is almost impossible for the beautiful boss with such a profound background to be suspected by the Holy One!

Now that this situation has occurred, it can only mean that the things committed by the good and evil Taoists should be extremely serious and shocked the government and the public! It’s just...

What on earth did the good and evil Taoist commit? If it is really so serious, there should be some rumors in Hecheng.

"Let's go, Mr. Feng Shui Secretary, please accompany me to the prison of the capital. I hope you will cooperate well and don't embarrass me."

The chief arrester of the capital looked at Xin Yu, and his aura enveloped Xin Yu and Fang Ce.

Fang Ce's face was dull, but he didn't take it seriously, because this man's aura was that of a warrior with six hundred years of cultivation. To ordinary people, he was already a master, but to him... he could see more

Both of his eyes are worthy of seeing...

"I understand. I'd like to thank you, my lord, for finding out the truth and clearing Xin Yu and Fang Ce's suspicions."

Xin Yu frowned and responded lightly, then looked at Fang Ce, hinting to Fang Ce not to mess around.

Fang Ce shrugged, casually.

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the capital, escorted by the chief arrester of the capital and a group of officers and soldiers.

Fang Ce casually looked at the street scene along the way and saw a prosperous scene. There were many people on the street. There were endless shops and inns on both sides, and each of them was at least a three-story building!

If you don’t come to the capital this way, you must have fun and enjoy it...

after a while.

The two of them have been taken to the capital.

Inside the capital.

"Stop, take this apprentice to the prison first."

The chief catcher suddenly waved his hand to stop and looked at Fang Ce.

Fang Ce was stunned and a little confused.

Xin Yu was also a little confused.

"Don't leave yet!"

A low shout sounded.

I saw an officer and soldier pushing Fang Ce hard, but he couldn't push him.

This actually caused Fang Ce to raise his eyebrows and look at the officers and soldiers.

"you!?"

The officers and soldiers' expressions suddenly darkened.

"Fang Ce."

Xin Yu couldn't help but let out a soft cry, not wanting to cause more trouble here so as not to complicate the matter.

"Yes, fairy."

Fang Ce smiled and turned around.

"Huh, I'll have your little one later!"

The officers and soldiers couldn't help following him with gloomy expressions.

"Master Xin, please invite me."

Please come out with the chief catcher.

"Huh? Where are you taking Xin Yu, sir?"

Xin Yu couldn't help but be confused, and she was even more puzzled. This matter seemed to be full of doubts...

"Of course I'm going to see Lord Shangqing."

The chief responded.

"oh?"

Xin Yu nodded slightly with some doubts. She thought that Lord Qing was going to interrogate her here.

This Shangqing is the person in charge of the capital, and his functions are like the prefect of the city, but his official rank is one rank higher than that of the prefect, and he is a third-rank official. After all, there is only one person in charge of the capital, so his status is naturally not the same.

After a while.

Come to a living room.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting at a round table.

"Sir Shangqing, Mr. Xinyu from the Fengshui Department of Youcheng, bring them here."

The chief officer clasped his fists respectfully.

"Xin Yu, the lower official, pays homage to Lord Shangqing."

Xin Yu saluted immediately.

"Oh? Are you Xin Yu, the Feng Shui Secretary of Youcheng?"

Shangqing looked at Xin Yu and waved his hand to signal the commander-in-chief to retreat.

"yes."

Xin Yu responded with cupped fists.

"Please take a seat."

The Lord nodded.

"this……"

Xin Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and responded softly: "Thank you, Lord Shangqing."

"Tea, please."

Shangqing slowly poured a cup of tea for Xin Yu.

"Many...thank you, Lord Shangqing..."

Xin Yu still responded in a daze. She really didn't understand the situation. After all, she was brought here as a suspect, but now Lord Shangqing's behavior...

At this moment, Shangqing didn't say much, just sipping the tea calmly.

"Sir, I wonder what this means? Aren't you trying to interrogate your subordinates about their collusion with good and evil Taoists?"

Xin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"This matter does not need to be tried. Your Majesty believes in you, Sir Xin. Sir Xin, you only need to stay in the capital for a while."

Shang Qing responded calmly.

"Is this? Could it be that someone is framing me? Your Majesty will have to respond?"

Xin Yu was immediately surprised, and quickly thought of the possibility. After all, with her status, there should be no reason for the Holy Emperor to doubt her!

"Master Xin is smart."

Shangqing smiled and nodded.

"In that case, what about the strategy? It's the apprentice next to Xiaguan. He has been taken to the prison. Can you please let me out first? He is Xiaguan's confidant, so there will be no problem."

Xin Yu felt happy and quickly spoke to help Fang Ce out of trouble.

"That apprentice of yours? He can't let go."

Shang Qing shook his head.

Xin Yu was startled, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she quickly said: "Why?"

"It is not easy for Your Majesty to excuse you, Sir Xin. Sir Xin, you should understand what I mean."

Shang Qingruo looked at Xin Yu thoughtfully.

"Sir, you...you mean...the Holy One wants Fang Ce to be the scapegoat!?"

Xin Yu's complexion couldn't help but change.

At this moment, Shangqing was sipping tea lightly without commenting.

"Sir! The matter between the official and the good and evil Taoist is very clear. There is no collusion or no collusion at all! It can withstand the investigation! You must not lead Fang Ce into injustice so hastily! Please let go of Fang Ce as soon as possible, sir.

The officer is willing to accept the investigation!"

Xin Yu spoke quickly.

"Xin... Sir, this is no longer a question of whether you are innocent or whether you can withstand investigation. The situation in the capital is complicated nowadays. Black can be white, and white can be black.

There is a turbulent undercurrent in the imperial court. The emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the foundation is unstable. Many things cannot be justified or decided based on reason.

As the saying goes, if you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse for it. Mr. Xin, you have been an official for several years. You must not understand this principle, right?

It’s not easy for Your Majesty to help Master Xin to this point, but I hope you don’t know your limits.”

Shangqing tapped the table gently.

"Then who wants to target Xiaguan? Xiaguan should not have offended anyone in the capital."

Xin Yu frowned. She naturally knew that the situation in the capital was complicated, but logically speaking, no matter how complicated it was, it should not have anything to do with her! And...

No matter how complicated the capital city is, there are only a few forces that can put the Holy One in such a difficult situation! The one who can threaten the Holy One the most is King Fu Zun!

etc……

King Fu Zun...

Could it be...

Xin Yu's expression changed, but she remembered the bandits in Yu County before. She remembered that Fang Ce mentioned that those bandits were related to King Fuzun!

And those bandits were all wiped out by Fang Ce. Is this the reason!?

"Master Xin, there is no need to ask any more questions. I don't know anything about this matter. Just wait here with peace of mind. You are just an apprentice. No matter how good your appearance is or how close the relationship is, Master Xin, you still have to understand it clearly."

.”

Shangqing looked at Xin Yu calmly.

"I...Lord Shangqing...the relationship between the lower official and Fang Ce is not what you think..."

Xin Yu's pretty face suddenly turned red, then she shook her head and spoke again: "I can't explain this matter clearly to you, sir. In short, this matter is not a trivial matter. I want to see your Majesty! Talk to your Majesty face to face."

clear!"

"No need, the Holy One has told you, Lord Xin, to stay here for a while and then go see him after the matter is over. Now, even if Sir Xin wants to see the Holy One, the Holy One will not receive you, so there is no need to worry too much."

Shang Qing shook his head.

When Xin Yu heard this, her heart sank even more. If something happened to Fang Ce in the capital, the consequences would be disastrous! But what should we do now? If the Holy Spirit refused to see her, she would not be able to break into the palace.

!

Even! Whether she can leave the capital is a problem! After all, it seems that Lord Shangqing must have been ordered by the Holy One to keep an eye on her!

And in the capital prison.

Fang Ce's hands and feet have been shackled and locked in a cell.

At this moment, Fang Ce looked at the shackles on his hand that were of good quality and seemed to be quite strong, and fell into deep thought.

He suddenly thought of some problems. The problem that was deceived by the Holy Emperor to come to the capital this time was Liang Xue!

Because the three of them are together, the real person Liang Xue Qianxue has become even more popular during this period. It is impossible for the Holy One not to know about it, so...

He was a mere Feng Shui apprentice who barely showed up in Youcheng and Hecheng and kept a low profile. He was called here and suspected. Then Liang Xue shouldn't be able to escape. It makes no sense that he and his beautiful boss are the only ones.

Being called...

Just when Fang Ce fell into deep thought.

"Where are the people?"

A cold voice sounded.

"Boss, in this cell!"

I saw several jailers coming outside Fang Ce's cell. One of them was obviously wearing a higher grade of clothing. He should be the chief jailer.

Moreover, all the jailers here have a cultivation base of one or two hundred years, and the chief jailer has a cultivation base of three hundred years!

At first, Fang Ce was a little surprised, but when he thought that this was the capital, there must be some ruthless prisoners who could be detained here. It was obviously unjustifiable for these jailers not to have this level of cultivation.

"Is that Fang Ce this boy?"

The guy who looked like a jailer looked at Fang Ce coldly.

"Well, it's this guy."

The jailer on the side nodded.

Fang Ce looked calm. Although he didn't know what these guys wanted to do, with his strength, there was no need to know...

"Oh, I can't see Tao Xing. It seems that I can hold my breath. It is said that I am just a Feng Shui apprentice, but I have hidden it deeply. However, when I fall here, it doesn't matter whether I hold my breath or not. It won't work.

Take it out for me!"

The chief jailer sneered disdainfully.

Fang Ce couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling strange in his heart. Could it be that he was planning to torture him?

"yes!"

The two jailers responded, and then there was the sound of chains rattling.

There was a squeaking sound.

The cell door has been opened.

"come out!"

The jailer scolded him coldly.

Fang Ce glanced at the jailer with a strange expression, nodded with a smile, and walked out of the cell.

The jailer's face turned gloomy when he saw this. The moment Fang Ce walked out of the cell door, he immediately kicked him: "Laugh! You still dare to laugh with me!?"

Bang!

"ah!"

A cry of surprise!

But instead of kicking Fang Ce, the jailer was shocked and fell to the ground...

Immediately, the chief jailer and another jailer both looked over in astonishment.

"Brother the jailer, are you okay?"

Fang Ce responded with a smile.

"You!? You... you... dare to resist!!! What a courageous bitch!!"

The jailer jumped up instantly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"This...Brother Jailer, you are unjust! My hands and feet are chained, how can I do anything? It was clearly Brother Jailer who kicked me just now..."

Fang Ce looked innocent.

"You! How dare you quibble!"

The jailer's face was even more ugly and he looked embarrassed.

"What are you waiting for? Bring someone here!"

The chief warden's low voice sounded.

"Yes! Yes! Boss!"

The jailer responded quickly and then glared at Fang Ce: "Don't go through yet!"

"Yes, Brother Jailer."

Fang Ce smiled and nodded, and walked towards the chief jailer as instructed.

"Tie it up!"

The chief jailer glanced at Fang Ce, then looked at the wooden stakes aside.

There are all kinds of horrific torture instruments around the wooden stake, such as iron-thorned whips, long thorns, hooks, etc., and many of them are stained with blood!

"yes!"

Two jailors immediately came to Fang Ce's sides fiercely. One of them grabbed Fang Ce's arm and tried to pull Fang Ce away.

"etc."

Fang Ce spoke quietly, but he stood firm and did not move an inch no matter what the two jailers did.

"you……"

The two jailers who used all their strength could not help but look surprised and angry.

"What do you want to do!? Could it be that you are trying to resist the law?"

The chief jailer's face darkened, and then he sneered: "The shackles on your body are made of three hundred forged fine iron. Even Taoist priests and grandmasters cannot break free.

This is specially prepared for felons like you, and it is an honor. If you want to resist, you must think clearly about the consequences."

"Oh, I don't have much intention to resist. I just want to ask, do the three adults want to lynch me?"

Fang Ce asked with a smile.

"So what if it is? So what if it's not? Don't be afraid to tell the truth. Someone from above specifically asked us to take care of you. Do you think there is any possibility of resistance? That's not something you can afford. If you want to blame it, it's your bad luck. It's not your fault.

Just mess with the people."

The chief jailer sneered again.

"Oh? Someone above is going to take care of me? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who it is now. I just want to ask, how is the Feng Shui Secretary who was taken here with me? Are you going to use lynching too?"

Fang Ce asked calmly. Everything else was easy to say. The only thing he was worried about now was that Xin Yu would be wronged.

"The Feng Shui Secretary who was escorted here with you?"

The chief jailer was confused.

"Boss, that's a woman. She was taken to the capital with this guy before. She's not here. That little girl is so tender and pretty, and she's very young. Hehehe."

The jailer on the side laughed evilly.

"Oh? Those guys over there are enjoying themselves again! Damn, I'm so envious! After we finish dealing with this kid, let's go over there and take a trip!"

The chief jailer's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I definitely want it! This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful little girl escorted here!"

The other jailer also laughed evilly.

However, what they didn't notice at this moment was that Fang Ce's face was extremely gloomy!

After all, he probably knows some things about the prison here. The fate of female prisoners is very miserable. However, he originally thought that because the beautiful boss had an unusual identity, nothing would happen to him, but now it seems that he is overthinking it!

"Tie this kid up yet! Clean him up quickly and go over there later..."

"die!"

Leng Ran shouted loudly!

Fang Ce's terrifying aura suddenly erupted!

boom!

Ahhh!

The screams sounded!

I saw two jailers flying straight into the wall and smashing through it. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead!

"You!? You want to escape from prison!!!"

The chief jailer suddenly looked horrified and stepped back in fear, because he instantly realized that his body was enveloped by a strong murderous aura! The strength of the prisoner in front of him was far beyond expectations, and it was not at the level that he could handle!

"Where is the fairy! Where is the female cell? Tell me!"

Fang Ce shouted loudly and broke free of the shackles on his hands in an instant! He took a step forward and there was a clang! The shackles were broken at the sound! The surging murderous aura directly pressed towards the chief jailer!

A groan!

Under Fang Ce's terrifying aura, the chief warden could not help but be so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt down. Then he responded in a trembling voice: "The female... female cell is... just outside and not far to the right... Spare your life!

Spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"

"Outside to the right!"

Fang Ce narrowed his eyes, didn't bother to pay much attention to the chief jailer, and quickly rushed out of the cell!

However, Fang came outside!

"How brave you are! How dare you escape from prison! Why don't you kill me quickly!"

A low shout sounded!

I saw the previous chief arrester arriving quickly.

Following a series of footsteps, officers, soldiers and jailers quickly surrounded him!

"Where is the fairy! How is she now!"

Fang Ce took a step forward, and the surging momentum directly pressed against the chief catcher!

"you!?"

The chief catcher suddenly took a step back with a horrified look on his face. He was even more shocked. The aura of the guy in front of him was actually far above him! It was completely different from the information he received!!

"Fang Ce! Don't be impulsive!"

A voice sounded urgently.

But it was Xin Yu’s voice.

"Fairy!?"

Fang Ce was startled and looked quickly, only to see Xin Yu walking quickly not far away! And he didn't seem to be hurt at all. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his aura quickly calmed down.

"Fang Ce, are you okay?"

Xin Yu came closer with a look of concern on his face.

"No. As long as you are fine, Fairy, I will be fine."

Fang Ce shook his head and smiled, already back to his usual appearance.

The chief catcher on the side looked even more shocked and confused, because at this moment, Fang Ce and Fang Cai were completely different from each other. Fang Cai was like a devil coming out of purgatory, but now he looked harmless to humans and animals, which made people shudder.

"It's okay, we can go."

Xin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm? You can go now?"

Fang Ce was confused.

"Um."

Xin Yu nodded and looked to the side.

At this moment, Fang Cefang noticed that with Xin Yu, there was also a man in white Taoist robes.

"Leave!? Master Xin! This person can't leave! This is what the superiors have ordered..."

"My master has protected this little brother."

A dull voice sounded, but it was the man in white robes who spoke.

"Um?"

Fang Ce couldn't help but look at the man in white robes with surprise, and he was even more curious about his identity. He seemed to have a lot of background...
