Early the next morning, Xiao Muting led the Xuanjia Army and escorted the fifteen disciples of the Puyang clan to the suspension bridge in Fengwei Village. He was here to ask questions.
Puyang Hongjun and several elders from his clan were walking from the suspension bridge. Suddenly, thick fog surged under the cliff. In the surging fog, the suspension bridge also swayed, frightening the elders.
The people who followed him and the tribe all screamed and screamed.
After Puyang Hongjun put the bamboo whistle on his lips and blew twice, the suspension bridge stabilized and the fog gradually dispersed, but only the part of the suspension bridge was exposed. Further down, there was still thick fog.
Su Han smiled proudly, and seemed to be talking to Xiao Muting, but in fact he said in a loud voice: "You see, Sir Xiao Hei has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Anyone who wants to bully his best friend must not do that.
, If it weren’t for his best friend on this bridge, I think all the people on it would have been buried under the cliff, and how would they have had the chance to be a first-class official? Hmph! I don’t have much ability, but I don’t have much ambition.”
The fifteen Puyang clan disciples who were being escorted had no momentum at all, and they all had their heads hanging down. They originally thought that they would be safe and sound after seeing their relatives in the clan, but now it seems that they are a bit uncertain.
After crossing the bridge, Puyang Hongjun came forward with a smile and saluted respectfully: "I am the leader of the Puyang clan. I have met His Highness King Chen. I would like to ask you to send back the illegal disciples in the clan."
Xiao Muting sneered: "Clan Chief Puyang may have made a mistake. Today, I am not sending these people back for their crimes, but bringing them to identify the mastermind."
Puyang Hongjun just raised his eyes and looked at them, then nodded and stepped aside, extending his hand to everyone in the clan: "These are the elders of the clan. If your highness has anything to say, please speak to them clearly."
"Why, the Puyang Clan Chief's right to speak in this clan is no longer counted. I don't know any elders. I only know who the Puyang Clan Chief is. If the Puyang Clan Chief cannot give me an explanation, then I will
There is no need to waste words with them. If these people have violated any law, just ask them for the crime according to the law." Xiao Muting said coldly.
Puyang Hongjun looked back at the elders, raising his eyebrows and raising a mocking smile to see what their opinions were.
At this time, the third elder Puyang Ruiming stood up. He gently stroked his gray beard and had a smile on his face, but it was very fake.
He first met with Xiao Muting respectfully, then raised his head and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang can come to our clan, which is a great blessing for our clan. How about your highness make it clear what we need to do to forgive these children. If possible, our clan will
The middlemen will definitely help His Highness with all their strength to strengthen Cangque County and make it the most prosperous place in the entire Holy Qin."
Su Han snorted unceremoniously: "Hey, there really is such a species as the smiling tiger."
Xiao Muting glanced sideways at her, then answered her with a slight smile: "You've seen it this time, right?"
Su Han nodded: "Yeah! Not very good!"
Puyang Hongjun's smile became more obvious, and he pursed his lips and said, "Let His Highness and the Princess laugh."
Xiao Muting waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether I laugh or not. Just don't let people in this world treat the Puyang family as a laughing stock. After all, it was a magical family that was famous throughout the continent a hundred years ago. It really became a family at this time."
It’s a joke in the world, come to think of it, even if everyone in this clan commits suicide, it’s hard to escape the crime, and our ancestors will lose all their face.”
Puyang Hongjun was not annoyed but nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I will rectify it carefully."
Su Han curled his lips and smiled sarcastically: "It turns out that in the heart of this third elder, whether Cangque County or Shengqin, they all rely on the Puyang clan to prosper. However, in the past hundred years, your clan has been born
There are only a handful of them, and all of them have changed their surnames, and I don’t know whose lineage this is disgraceful or whose ancestors are glorified.”
"Uh..." Puyang Ruiming was stunned by her words, but he, who was always eloquent, wanted to defend himself again, so he immediately answered: "What the princess said is true, but it can also be seen that
, the ability of the Puyang clan, although these people have changed their names, they are still disciples of the clan. The world is so big, could it be the king's land? Even if His Highness Chen Wang is the king of a vassal, he is not a courtier of Sheng Qin, and his heart will not be loyal to the emperor.
What has changed is that no matter which side our clan members work for, they are all doing their best to contribute to the people of Shengqin, and it cannot be said to be a rebellion."
"Has anyone said anything about the rebellion? The people I captured are not rebels, but agents of other countries." Xiao Muting snorted coldly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Puyang tribe took a breath and widened their eyes in disbelief.
Xiao Muting snorted contemptuously: "Don't you know that Mr. Yang, who is lobbying your disciples, is a spy sent by another country to do evil things in Cangque County and destroy the prosperity of Shengqin?
He and An Ding, and the so-called official position of 'First Grade Taishi Grand Scholar' was also a gimmick created by him to lure greedy people to associate with him. But how could it be that people from the Puyang tribe who have always been known as extraordinary talents, did anyone really believe this ridiculous thing?
position, and you are planning to lead all the disciples in the clan to defect from the clan and take up this empty position, third elder, you are really a genius."
"This... how is this possible..." Puyang Ruiming was completely shocked. He looked at the clan disciples who were kneeling in a pile over there with doubt in his eyes, and his angry expression had the urge to bite.
Xiao Muting snorted mockingly again: "All the teachers and students of Tianlong Academy can prove that the man named Yang Chongzhi is undoubtedly the craftsman sent by Long Anguo."
After hearing this, the Puyang tribesmen all took a breath, and two elders had already moved closer to Puyang Hongjun. The intention was too obvious, that they wanted to draw a clear line with Puyang Ruiming and not to implicate them.
After seeing the reactions of these people, the Seventh Elder, Ninth Elder and Tenth Elder who were standing next to Puyang Hongjun all showed sarcastic smiles and were very disdainful of their behavior. The Tenth Elder even spat directly.
After a voice, he said: "Fools on the wall! Cowards and fearful people!"
How could these elders not hear it? They just pretended not to hear it. Compared with saving their lives, their face is nothing.
When Puyang Ruiming came to his senses, he still wanted to find these people to help him build momentum. When he turned around, he saw that the elders who were standing behind him had changed their positions. He couldn't help but stare angrily, and these people
They all turned around and looked around, pretending not to see him and not looking at him at all.
Xiao Muting snorted again at this time and looked at Puyang Hongjun: "The main reason why I came here today is to ask clearly which branch the disciples of these clans belong to, because when they confessed to me, they said that their branch is
He is the largest and most powerful in the whole clan. The clan leaders must listen to the words of their ancestors, and this matter is decided by the ancestors of the clan. This king is here to find this mastermind."
Puyang Hongjun raised the corner of his mouth and clasped fists with him: "In that case, your highness will..."
Before he finished speaking, Puyang Ruiming knelt on the ground with a plop and howled loudly: "Your Highness, King Chen, is aware that I was also deceived by others. It was purely an unintentional mistake. I hope your Highness saw that there were no serious consequences."
In view of the love between Princess Chen and the sworn brother-sister relationship between Princess Chen and the clan leader, please forgive the old man’s stupidity and stupidity, and spare his life... Your Highness, King Chen, be merciful..."
"Things done in detail are serious crimes. It's not you who are stupid, but my king who is wise and alert. Nor can you be deceived to offset your sin. A prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. You are neither a prince nor a member of the royal family. Why do I, the king?"
I want to be merciful to you, come here! Take all the prisoners back to the prefect's Yamen and wait for their punishment!" Xiao Muting said sternly with a cold face.
"Yes!" Xuan Jiajun's response shook the valley, making everyone present who was still hoping for luck tremble.
While Puyang Ruiming was disappointed, he reached out and grabbed Su Hanfei, who was standing diagonally above him.
But before his hand touched the hem of her clothes, his wrist was kicked by Xiao Muting. At the same time, he heard the sound of bones breaking. When he screamed, he saw Su Han rushing forward,
A roundhouse kick hit him in the chest and kicked him straight to the edge of the cliff.
When he rolled over three times and stopped on the edge of the cliff, he luckily mocked Su Han: "Princess Chen is nothing more than that... ah..."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly swept across his waist, and he flew into the air straight into the thick fog. From there, screams were heard again, but no one could see what was going on.
.
However, Su Han raised his smile proudly and shook his head at Xiao Muting: "Don't you, Mr. Xiaohei, have to thank me?"
"Definitely!" Xiao Muting raised his eyebrows at her and waved his hand. Xuan Jiajun left with the fifteen clan members. Puyang Hongjun also led the clan members to bow respectfully and send them off.
Xiao Muting hugged Su Han for two steps, then stopped and turned around to point at him: "Puyang Clan Chief may wish to go back for further questioning. If there are any suspects, they can be sent directly to the prefect's Yamen. I will be very grateful."
"I will definitely do it!" Puyang Hongjun raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows at him with a smile. The two of them knew each other tacitly, but the mentality of those in the clan was different.
