Chapter 182: Borrow my sharp blade, Qin Hai's death
All members of the House of Internal Affairs are subject to excessively detailed interrogations.
In the main hall of the Internal Affairs Hall, the master of the hall, Qin Hai, sat slumped on the ground, his face dull, like a living dead person.
The surroundings were quiet and there was no one around. The interior hall where people usually came and went seemed to be empty now.
Click, click, click!
There was a sound of neat footsteps.
Two rows of elite monks wearing the uniforms of the Criminal Law Hall ran in with expressions on their faces and surrounded Qin Hai three times inside and three times outside.
A figure walked out of the crowd, with a serious face and a dark aura, and a strong aura - it was Qin Xiao, the master of the Criminal Law Hall!
He walked up to Qin Hai, took out a jade slip from his arms, poured it with holy power, and several lines of iron-blooded characters appeared.
"The Master of the Internal Affairs Palace, the Thirteenth Elder Qin Hai, neglected his duties, allowed his subordinates to embezzle, and embezzled the pension resources of the clan members who died in the war. The amount is huge, and the crime is inexcusable! He is now being detained and imprisoned in the third floor of the Holy Prison to await his fate!"
After reading out the arrest order, Qin Xiao glanced at the haggard old man in front of him with a slightly complicated expression, and said calmly: "Come with me!"
The Penalty Hall and the Internal Affairs Hall are both one of the eight major halls of the Qin clan. As the masters of the two halls, they are not unfamiliar with each other.
I just didn't expect that one day, the two of them would meet in this way.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person..." Qin Hai raised his head, looked at him, laughed at himself, and spoke slowly.
"After all, you are the master of a palace and have cultivated yourself as a saint. Even if you are imprisoned, you should still have some dignity..." Qin Xiao said, with a hint of sigh in his words.
"I thought the clan was afraid that I would rebel, so they sent you here to watch me..."
Qin Xiao's mouth opened slightly, but he hesitated to speak, and finally did not say anything.
The people above sent him here, and they did have such a meaning. After all, he was a saint. He was used to being aloof, but now he was about to become a prisoner!
Once their emotions get out of control, it will inevitably lead to a situation they don't want to see.
Qin Hai struggled to get up, his expression was a little laborious, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Come on, help me!"
When Qin Xiao saw this, he frowned and reached out to grab it.
The moment he touched Qi Hai's wrist, he was shocked and said: "Your cultivation level..."
It's no wonder that he was surprised. Qin Hai, the master of the internal affairs hall, who had a profound cultivation and was at the top of the first level of saints, had half-stepped into the second level of celestial realm.
Now the body is empty, the holy power is gone, the laws have dissipated, and the origin has dried up.
Just like an ordinary old man, he is dying!
In his current state, even if he is not imprisoned, he will only have a few days left to live.
"Thanks to the wrong love of the clan leader, I will hold the position of head of the internal affairs palace for ten thousand years!"
"I have not done anything good, but I have committed many crimes... Now, something so unforgivable has happened. I am ashamed of the clan leader, and I have no shame to face the saint ancestor of the Qin clan!"
He sighed: "My relatives and relatives in my family don't know anything about this, so I hope they can learn from it!"
"This matter will be investigated strictly in our Punishment Palace. The guilty will be prosecuted and the innocent will live!"
Qin Hai nodded when he heard this, looked at Qin Xiao next to him, and said with a forced smile: "I have been the master of the internal affairs hall for many years. Although I have never made grudges with others, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of this to take revenge on my family..."
"Since we have known each other for so many years, can you lend me a sharp blade?"
Qin Xiao was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
He instantly understood that Qin Hai wanted to put an end to this matter with his own death and save his family.
After a long time, he sighed: "Why bother... You have been in charge of the House of Internal Affairs for ten thousand years, and you have never made any major mistakes! Although this crime is serious, the patriarch is not a hard-hearted person. After being dismissed, he will be imprisoned for a thousand years.
It's a disaster, wait until this matter is over..."
Cultivation is not easy. How does it compare to the monks in heaven?
But even so, the saint is still the top of the pyramid!
Every monk who can enter the holy realm has experienced countless calamities, is extremely talented, dominates his peers, and has great opportunities!
After tens of thousands of years of practice, the fate of life and death disappeared in one day. Qin Xiao looked at the old man in front of him who was weaker than ordinary mortals, and a feeling of sadness suddenly arose in his heart.
But Qin Hai shook his head and said, "Please... lend me a sharp blade!"
Seeing his firm attitude, Qin Xiao finally nodded in approval.
"Anyone who is punished by me must leave this hall and cannot enter without my permission!"
"Yes!" After saying this, everyone filed out.
Seeing this, Qin Hai had a smile in his eyes and said, "Thank you!"
He knew that Qin Xiao was preserving his last bit of dignity.
The death of a saint, even if he is guilty, cannot be compared with ordinary people. How can he be watched by others?
Qin Xiao did not answer, looked at him deeply, turned around and exited the hall, raised his hand and closed the door tightly.
"Palace Master, are we violating the clan leader's order by doing this?" Next to him, a monk from the Punishment Hall suddenly said: "After all, the intention above is to bring him back...!"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiao's cold eyes swept over him, and he suddenly became silent and shrank his head angrily.
After half a cup of tea, Qin Xiao's pupils shrank slightly, he turned his head and looked into the hall, clenched his fists slightly, and then loosened them again, as if the string in his heart was broken.
He spoke with a hint of exhaustion: "Come here, take the body of the Lord of the Internal Affairs Hall back to the Punishment Hall!"
………………
The death of Qin Hai, the leader of the House of Internal Affairs, spread throughout the Qin clan in a short period of time.
It immediately caused quite a stir!
The death of a saint is not a trivial matter, let alone for someone as powerful as him, the thirteenth elder of the Qin clan.
Previously, the Ministry of Internal Affairs withheld compensation from members of the clan who died in the war due to corruption, which continued to ferment within the clan and had a great impact. Countless people were outraged.
After hearing that the clan's punishment hall came to take him into custody, many people spontaneously ran to the door of Qin Hai's mansion to angrily yell at him and throw stones at him.
As the head of the House of Internal Affairs, no matter whether he did these things or not, he could not escape the infamy after all.
It's just that this hat is so big that even the saints and elders of Qin Hai can't carry it, let alone his family members?
He was stuck in the mansion all day long, with three floors inside and three floors outside, with no entry or exit.
Everyone complained and cried loudly, claiming that they wanted Qin Hai's family to pay justice to the people who died in the war.
There were even naughty children from Qin Hai's descendants who sneaked out to play and were discovered. They were caught and given a lesson.
In this matter, although there are people in the Qin clan who come forward to maintain order, it is difficult to face public outrage.
I have to say that Qin Hai still has foresight!
He had anticipated the current situation long ago, so he had no intention of living in prison alive.
Not to mention whether you can come out after entering is another matter.
Even if he comes out, he will no longer have a foothold within the Qin clan.
The Qin people are proud and rugged, and the saints are so majestic. Qin Hai refuses to live like a rat crossing the street.
After the news of Qin Hai's death came out, the Penal Palace came out to drive away the troublemakers, and the resistance became much weaker.
In addition, the compensation within the clan for the previously deducted pensions has been reissued, even double the original amount, which has blocked the mouths of many people.
