The moment the man in linen clothes was about to turn around.
A demon pill vibrated endlessly.
This is the instinct she inherited from the fox demon bloodline.
Her spiritual sense felt that there was a qi locked on her, coming from some terrifying existence.
Is Xiaoxiao about to die? Will it hurt? What a pity...Xiaoxiao hasn't held hands with a man yet...
What makes her strange is that at this moment, her little mind does not have the Su clan that she desperately wants to protect, and even her grandmother, who she has always been thinking about, does not appear in her mind. In this, which may be the last moment of her life, she recalls
A very common thing happened.
It was a sunny afternoon in Qiantang Mountain. She was just a little fox who had just awakened her intelligence. She lay lazily on a sunny bluestone and took a nap.
As she passed by, the book next to her that she had never left her body after picking it up was turning silently. She woke up in a daze, stretched out her little paws to press the pages, and turned over while holding the book.
Continue to bask in the warm sunshine.
Friends in the clan always said that she was stupid for walking alone with a human book all day long, but only Su Xiaoxiao knew that in the narrow and closed world of Qantang Mountain, this book was her only
The only bright color in my life, it turns out that the outside world is so wonderful.
A sudden sound interrupted Su Xiaoxiao's memories and broke the peace on the deck.
"stop!"
The man in sackcloth stopped and slowly turned around.
Everyone on the field looked at the place where the sound came from in surprise.
Su Xiaoxiao also turned his head stupidly.
In that crowd, several boat passengers hurriedly moved out of the way for fear of being misunderstood, and soon only one person was left, standing there motionless.
Is it him? He...isn't he a bad person? Su Xiaoxiao felt that his little brain was not enough.
Zhao Rong ignored the gazes of the people around him and didn't even look at the "Su Dahuang" he wanted to save. He took a few steps forward and looked up at the man in the sky. He silently recited the sword formula in his heart and raised his hands to hold on to his waist.
The sword left by my mother.
Just when he was about to speak, Liu Sanbian held down his shoulders, but he raised his hand to brush them off.
Zhao Rong didn't know what other people on the field were thinking, but he felt that he should stand up.
Whether it is from his own perspective or from the perspective of a current Confucian scholar.
Because he wanted to ask "Why?"
The man in sackcloth turned around and saw that it was a Confucian scholar. He slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhao Rong coldly, his eyes pausing slightly on Zhao Rong's waist.
"You don't obey me?"
At this moment, Zhao Rong realized that being stared at by a Nascent Soul sword cultivator was so intense that the pressure was so great. He felt that what he breathed in through his mouth and nose was not air, but sand. Every bite was extremely difficult.
With a sword on his waist, he probably suffocated to death under that man's gaze.
Oh, is this what it feels like to have your life in other people's hands?
The sword in his hand trembled in its sheath.
Are you upset too?
Zhao Rong raised his head and looked at the man in sackcloth with a fearless expression and stern eyes.
"I don't agree with you. Dare you ask me why you killed her?"
"Without the approval of the Sikou Mansion, a fox demon from the Su clan left Qiantang Mountain without authorization."
"You are ignorant, I don't know what the ban imposed by the Sikou Mansion is on the Qiantang Mountain Fox Clan? There must be a written law. I dare to ask you, is it really a capital crime to leave the mountain without permission according to the ban?" Zhao Rong took a step back and bowed.
After a salute, he stared at the group of people in the sky.
Zhao Rong was betting on a guess he had made before. He saw Su Xiaoxiao's surprised face after learning about the Su clan's ban. It seemed that he had no knowledge before, so he had some guesses in his mind. Imagine if leaving the mountain without permission was an express rule.
If it is a capital crime, then the Fox clan will definitely warn all clan members and strictly prohibit them from going down the mountain. Therefore, there are only two situations in which Su Xiaoxiao does not know.
First, the ban has been implemented for too long and has gradually lost its enforcement power. The Fox Clan has long ignored it.
Secondly, the punishment for leaving the mountain without permission is not severe in the ban. In other words, the punishment for ordinary fox monsters in the clan is not severe. It only strictly restricts those fox monsters with advanced cultivation levels in the clan. They only need to report to the Sikou Mansion when they go down the mountain.
Therefore, the low-level fox demon does not need to know.
The first possibility is very low, because from what Zhao Rong has observed, it is known that the living environment of the demon clan in the Xuanhuang Realm is not good. Looking at the expressions of the bystanders around them, whether they are joking or indifferent, they have probably become accustomed to it, like the man in linen.
There must be quite a few monks who are so hostile to the demon clan, so how could the demon clan relax the ban in such a harsh environment?
Then there is only the second possibility.
Zhao Rong felt relieved when he saw that no one in the Sikou Mansion responded, and some people frowned slightly.
"If the ban clearly stipulates that if the little fox demon goes down the mountain without authorization, he will be punished. Then the kid has nothing to say and hinders law enforcement. He is willing to apologize and be punished by adults."
The man in linen clothes narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
The cold-faced woman on the side looked at the sword-holding scholar with a calm posture below in surprise. Just now, she thought that he was just a sensationalist and it was useless to stand up. However, she did not expect that he would be methodical and get to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
A courageous and knowledgeable scholar.
She knew in her heart that Zhao Rong was right.
The Su clan in Qiantang Mountain was demoted to the southern part of Wangquezhou for violating the "Law of Emperor Xuan" because they participated in a certain struggle that they shouldn't have participated in, but the worst thing was that they were on the wrong team.
Qiantang Mountain is under the custody of Tianya Haige Sikou Mansion. The ban stipulates that fox monsters in Tongyou Realm and above are not allowed to go down the mountain without authorization. If they violate the rules once, their tails will be chopped off. If they dare to do it again, their pills will be broken.
However, the ban does not have detailed regulations for fox monsters below the Tongyou Realm, which is equivalent to the human race's Tianzhi Realm. It only mentions "Other fox monsters are not allowed to go down the mountain without permission." It does not mention detailed punishments. It may be that
The people who originally formulated this law didn't care much about those little fox monsters that didn't even have access to the Nether Realm. Or maybe... they were being generous?
The cold-faced woman didn't know exactly what it was, because it had been so long ago, and she only accidentally learned something about it on an old document in Sikou Mansion.
But what is certain is that the little fox demon that I feel pity for at the moment is indeed punished for his crime, but who cares? The Sikou Mansion has always been strict and arbitrary in its actions, and many times it will not even be punished for the crime it has committed.
Let me explain to you, after all, if the punishment is unknown, the prestige is unpredictable, so what if there is an unjust case? The majesty of the Sikou Mansion on the mountain is more important.
I just didn't expect that something unexpected happened this time. Someone dared to question the legitimacy of Sikou Mansion's law enforcement?
Thinking of this, the cold-faced woman glanced at the adult in front of her. What surprised her was that this adult, who had always had a bad temper, did not directly slap the scholar in front of her to death today, but allowed him to continue talking.
"However, if you don't punish me and kill you without speaking, then if you are the first to refuse, you can kill me, but you still have to say..."
Zhao Rong's voice was clear and his tone began to be "burning".
Everyone's eyes were on him.
Su Xiaoxiao had already stopped crying. She knelt on the ground, raised her head, and stared at the man stupidly. She was stupid and couldn't understand what the man was saying, but she knew that someone was fighting for her slim chance.
vitality.
"If the person in front of me today is Yamazawa Yexiu who acts freely, then I will never reason with him, because the law of the jungle is the way of this generation."
"but!"
"What is in front of me today is the monk of the Sikou Mansion who has been given power by the "Xuan Emperor Law" and assigned important tasks by Taizong of the human race. He is the one who should enforce the law impartially!"
"If you don't accept it, I'll ask you, sir, why did you kill her?"
The whole place was silent.
A gentleman's chest is full of greatness, and he will cry when there is injustice. Have a healthy Dragon Boat Festival ~ There will be another update in the early morning.
