The position of Priest Ai Youyou, the Priest of Tianshui Cliff today, seems to be similar to that of the people watching outside.
The purpose of his being invited by the city lord Bu Guxin was to be a witness. If there was any difference between him and the common people, it could only be that he was more important.
The most basic rule that a witness must abide by is to ensure that the issue is viewed from a fair perspective.
So when Bu Guxin heard Ai Youyou telling him to shut up, he knew that the witness he invited was the wrong person.
In fact, there were warning signs.
The blue-robed priest Nie Wuzhi shouldn't be in the martial arts hall, especially when the people who shouldn't be in the city lord's mansion have already completed the layout of the martial arts hall.
But Bu Guxin made a wrong judgment at this time. He thought Tianshuiya just fell in love with the young man named Lin Ye.
If so, he could even give a bigger favor, which is to let everyone in the martial arts school go.
"Your Majesty."
Bu Guxin glared at Ai Youyou: "What do you mean?"
Ai Youyou said in a calm tone: "You and your people have talked a lot just now, and King Kitano didn't seem to interrupt you."
He became serious: "So when Kitano King is talking, you'd better not interrupt him. This should be the most basic etiquette."
King Kitano said: "Oh! Your Majesty is indeed reasonable."
Bu Guxin: "Sir, this is not what you promised me when I came to visit you."
Ai Youyou said: "Whatever I promised you, you can tell it truthfully in front of everyone. It doesn't matter if it is louder."
Bu Gu thought: "You said that as long as the evidence in my hand is solid, you will definitely stand by me!"
Ai Youyou: "The city lord seems to have some biased memory. What I am saying is that as long as the evidence is conclusive, I will stand on the side of the evidence."
Bu Guxin: "Isn't the evidence now enough?"
Ai Youyou: "In a lawsuit, both parties need to provide evidence. This is the truth and the rule."
Kitano Dynasty waved to the outside, and large groups of Kitano troops came in, carrying many boxes.
These boxes are placed on the ground and opened one after another.
Tuoba Lie walked to the first box and leaned over to pick up something: "This is what I just found from the city lord's house. It's a map, a map of Yunzhou."
He walked slowly back to Bu Guxin: "It is not outrageous that the city lord has a map of Yunzhou in his hand. What is outrageous is, why did you mark the attack route on the map?"
He threw the map to his men: "Let the people outside take a look."
After he finished speaking, he took out the second thing from the box: "This is the list of the remaining members of the Chaoxin Sect. Of course you can say that this is what you searched and seized, but why did you do it on the list?"
Annotation? Who should be killed, who can be retained, and for what purpose? The targets are so clear."
Bu Guxin: "Tuoba Lie! Who gave you the power to dare to send troops to break into the city lord's mansion! These are indeed the evidence that I sent people to search for!"
Tuoba Lie said: "As I said just now, I am the best at confiscating homes and I also like it the most."
Speaking of this, he burped: "Let me give you a warning. If you have the opportunity to raid other people's homes again, you won't be so hasty."
"I'm tired, let someone else speak for me."
He waved.
So, a middle-aged man wearing a long robe as a retainer of the city lord's palace slowly stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Then let me speak for the prince."
The man straightened up, and when Bu Guxin saw this man, his eyes suddenly widened.
Tian Langxing.
"Today, under the orders of the Lord of the City, on the pretext of tracking down the remnants of the Chaoxin Sect, I assisted Ning Rusan, the counselor of the City Lord's Mansion, to disguise himself as a remnant of the Chaoxin Sect and enter the Yan Family Martial Arts Hall."
Tian Langxing said: "Ning Ruxian has pretended to be a remnant of the Chaoxin Sect many times before and secretly killed people, including Lei Fenglei, the former Prime Minister of Yunzhou Prefecture, who was also killed by this person."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd outside became noisy again.
Tian Langxing continued: "Most of the things in the Yan Family Martial Arts Hall were just put in randomly. When the Lord of the City explained this plan, I was on the spot and heard it with my own ears."
Bu Guxin was furious, with blue veins showing on his forehead.
Sirius walked to the door of the martial arts hall and said loudly to the people: "The former Prime Minister Lei Fenglei found out that the City Lord's Mansion was secretly cultivating and supporting Chaoxin Sect. This is the reason why Lei Fenglei was killed."
He paused and pointed to the distance. Another group of Beiye Army soldiers came, bringing with them many people who were carried up on stretchers.
"These people are what Bu Guxin said, the more than 600 remnants of the Chaoxin Sect who were captured by him."
"They have all contributed and shed blood on the battlefield against the Loufan people going south. Although they are not Beiye frontier soldiers, they are just volunteers, but they are also meritorious officials of the country and Dayu's heroes!"
Sirius said: "In order to seize the military power of the Beiye Army, Bu Guxin framed the Beiye King and captured these heroes to force them to give false testimony. None of these strong-willed men surrendered. You see!"
"More than 600 heroes who fought and shed blood to protect their homeland and country were beaten to death under his orders. Now there are only less than 200 people left, and they are all dying."
Sirius turned around and pointed at Bu Guxin: "The confessions he said are all forgeries! None of these heroes surrendered. The fingerprints on the confessions were all forced on them when they were killed, beaten and unable to resist."
At this moment, Bu Guxin's face turned pale.
He slowly turned his head to look at the priest: "You have made a big mistake."
Ai Youyou still replied in a calm tone: "It seems that you are the one who made the big mistake."
Bu Guxin: "Everything I do is for the emperor."
Ai Youyou: "What Shangyang Palace did was all for Dayu."
Bu Guxin: "If Tuoba Lie doesn't die, there will be war in Yunzhou sooner or later!"
Ai Youyou: "As soon as Tuoba Lie dies, war will break out in Yunzhou."
Bu Guxin's expression changed again, and her eyes instantly became complicated.
Ai Youyou still said calmly: "If you have real evidence, war will be war, and I will stand on your side, but you shouldn't lie. What of your real evidence is true?"
Bu Guxin: "He is too cunning. He must have cleaned up all the evidence. I had no choice..."
Ai Youyou: "You don't have any evidence of guilt against King Kitano, so you just say that someone else cleaned it all up, and then concocted a bunch of evidence of your own guilt. Is that normal?"
Bu Guxin raised his head and looked at the night sky: "The emperor will know my loyalty."
Ai Youyou: "The emperor will hate you for being stupid."
In the distance, Tuoba Lie sat down on the steps again, picked up the wine jar that he had just placed on the ground, and held it upside down. Not a drop of wine came out. He seemed a little disappointed.
I wanted to just throw the wine jar away, but I didn't want to let it go, so I held it there and smelled it vigorously.
He seemed to have lost interest in things, not as much in the empty wine jar.
At this time, Tian Langxing had finished speaking and bowed back.
Yuan Qingze, the fifth-rank general of the Beiye Army, stepped forward and picked up the Prime Minister Zheng Gongquan: "You tell me!"
Zheng Gongquan was completely frightened and began to speak tremblingly.
"The city lord first used the prime minister Niu Qin to send people to pretend to be remnants of the Chaoxin Sect, hoping to create false evidence to frame King Kitano."
"After Niu Qin was found out, the city lord asked Ning Ruxian to kill Lei Fenglei in order to destroy the evidence."
"I just didn't expect that Ning Ru Umbrella would actually be caught by Master Fu Zhi. In this case, Ning Ru Umbrella can only be made to fake death."
"Tan Changqing, a staff member of the City Lord's Mansion, was proficient in medical skills and deceived the government office with a drug to fake death. He took Ning Rusan outside the city, killed an innocent person and then burned it with fire, pretending that Ning Rusan was dead...
.”
When he said this, the people were already excited.
No longer whispering, no longer holding back.
They shouted and cursed loudly, and the crowd became violent.
In the yard, Ai Youyou asked Bu Guxin: "Is that map real, or was it forged by King Kitano's people?"
Bu Guxin was honest at this time: "I sent someone to draw it, and I wanted to use it as evidence of Tuoba Lie's rebellion."
That thing should have been placed in the Prince's Palace today after he gained the upper hand and then pretended to be found when he searched the Prince's Palace in Kitano.
Ai Youyou let out a long sigh.
He said nothing more and turned to leave.
Nie Wuzhi, the blue-robed priest, turned back to look at Lin Ye: "I will come to you again. Today's matter is probably a foregone conclusion, and you don't need to worry about anything."
After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked out, following the priest.
Soon after, everyone in Shangyang Palace left the place.
On the carriage, Nie Wuzhi asked the priest.
"Master, my disciple is confused about something. Who does Lei Fenglei belong to?"
Ai Youyou replied: "It doesn't matter anymore. No matter who he is, his death can only be caused by investigating the case of the Chao Xin Sect's remnants."
Nie Wuzhi asked again: "Are the remnants of the Chaoxin Sect really secretly supported by the City Lord's Palace?"
Ai Youyou glanced at him and didn't answer.
But no answer is the answer.
Nie Wuzhi stopped asking. Thinking back to the scene just now, he couldn't help but smile: "He looks stupid, but he is actually very smart. He is really a lovely person."
Ai Youyou: "You mean Tuoba Lie?"
Nie Wuzhi: "Disciple is talking about Lin Ye."
Ai Youyou: "If you give up on this idea, Lin Ye refuses the kindness of the Shrine. Will the Shrine still lose face and ask him?"
Nie Wuzhi: "Where are the outer disciples?"
Ai Youyou didn't answer.
This does not answer, but it seems to give the answer again.
Then Nie Wuzhi laughed again. He felt that the master was really a lovely person.
In the eyes of lovely people, you can always find more lovely things.
Bu Guxin was defeated.
If he failed at this point, it wasn't all his fault, because he had reached the point of no retreat.
He captured many volunteers who had fought for the Beiye Army. If these people were confirmed to be remnants of the Chaoxin Sect, Tuoba Lie would naturally be inextricably linked to them.
But just after this incident, Tuoba Lie wanted to recruit contract soldiers in Yunzhou, so he gave Bu Guxin an army.
The contract soldiers were said to be built jointly with the City Lord's Mansion, but in fact, the people who trained the contract soldiers were all selected by the Beiye Army.
When the time comes, the Qibing will be affiliated under the name of Yunzhou Mansion instead of the City Lord's Mansion. It won't take long for the Qibing to collect a lot of evidence under Tuoba Lie's instructions.
When the opportunity comes, Tuoba Lie will order his soldiers to surround the city lord's palace and force the Golden Crow Cavalry to disarm.
This matter is between the Yunzhou Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion, and it is also the matter of the little man Jin Shengchang caught in the middle.
If he reported to the court, it would naturally be Jin Sheng who discovered the treasonous act of the city lord Bu Gu and decisively sent troops to wipe out the rebels.
Bu Guxin was sent by Emperor Yu, and Jin Shengchang was also sent by Emperor Yu... Therefore, this matter certainly had nothing to do with Tuoba Lie, and it was not him who looked ugly, but Emperor Yu.
Therefore, Bu Guxin must get things done before forming the contract army.
At this moment, he looked outside the door again. In the distance, the carriage had disappeared.
The woman who was sitting in the pink carriage before was probably laughing out loud at this time.
Bu Gu thought to himself that if he sent someone to secretly hide the evidence while the martial arts hall was being expanded, the woman must have known about it for a long time.
