Great Xia Dynasty.

Imperial City.

All forces gathered together in the sealed land.

Sect Master Linglong, Clan Chief Ou, Clan Chief Zhang, and others gathered together, with slightly worried looks on their faces.

Xiang Feng was arrested.

The leader of the military sect was killed.

In just two days, the sealed place has changed dramatically.

Each of them was somewhat frightened, not knowing what the Great Xia court meant. Did they really want to get rid of them and eliminate their independent forces as the rumors said?

Just then, a fat figure walked in.

As soon as he entered the hall, everyone's eyes lit up and they quickly crowded around him with a somewhat flattering look on their faces.

The person who came was none other than Qian Yun, the master of the Tenth Generation Hall.

He is also the only one among the leaders of many forces in the Sealed Land who serves as an official in the court of Daxia. His position is not low, equivalent to the Minister of War, a third-rank official, and can participate in the decision-making of Daxia.

"Master Qian!"

Linglong Sect Master stepped forward and said respectfully, "I wonder what major moves the court has made recently? Based on our past friendship, can you give me a lowdown on whether there is any danger?"

Too scary!

Recently, he has been unable to concentrate on the two of them and has been feeling anxious and worried.

He was afraid that when he woke up, the star god of the imperial court would come to the sect, issue a decree, and bring him to justice.

If that were the case, he would probably cry to death.

"Don't call me Master Qian!"

Qian Yun waved his hands repeatedly, not acknowledging his current identity. He then put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and said solemnly: "Please call me Minister Qian, or Lord Qian!"

The title of Master Qian is too small.

It doesn't conform to the mainstream at first glance.

It is better to call you Minister Qian. By saying this, others will know that you are an important official in the court and will look up to you.

What is Master Qian?
He sounds like a local thug leader, not impressive at all.

In addition, calling himself Minister Qian can also give people the impression that he is loyal to the court and will not be involved with any forces, thus drawing a clear line and avoiding some unnecessary trouble.

The corner of Linglong Sect Leader's mouth twitched, "You're still arrogant?"

What kind of person are you? I don’t know.

never mind!

There's nothing to say about that.

Who made Qian Yun join the Great Xia Dynasty early? After the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, he abided by the Xia laws, never violated the laws, and took the initiative to join the construction of the Great Xia court.

And what about them?

It’s not that the imperial court didn’t invite them.

But they thought it would be better to be the local leaders, free and unrestrained without anyone to oppress them, and they refused to serve as officials in the court.

Thinking about it now, this decision was absolutely stupid.

Ruined their bright future.

"My fault!"

Linglong Sect Master smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, I don't know the court."

Qian Yun waved his hand and said loudly: "I don't know either!"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Sect Leader Linglong's face turned dark.

Are you fucking sick?
You don’t know, why are you talking nonsense to me for so long?
Immediately, the people surrounding Qian Yun dispersed.

Qian Yun was enjoying his leisure time. He walked around the hall and then found a corner to stand, with his arms folded, ready to look around curiously.

He looked at those people with anxious faces and couldn't help but sigh.

You guys!
It's still too stupid!
Standing next to this group of idiots, his intelligence and wit immediately stood out.

"The Prime Minister is here!"

Not long after, another long voice came from outside the hall.

In an instant, the noisy hall calmed down, and everyone quickly lined up, standing respectfully, not daring to act rashly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Huo Qubing led his people in. The moment he entered the door, he glanced at everyone, then retracted his gaze and strode towards the upper seat.

Jia Xu, Wu Yong, Lu Bing and others followed behind.

Qian Yun hurriedly followed.

He was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and needed to participate in the review of the various forces in the sealed land. After everyone sat down, a row of earthly generals walked in, wearing armor, holding war weapons, with bright starlight flashing around them, and infinite power, giving people a suffocating pressure.

"Bring the prisoner!"

Zhuge Liang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

The words fell.

Two more Earthly Demon Generals came in, bringing with them Xiang Feng and Xiang Hao.

At this moment, the two men no longer had their former arrogance. They were wearing prison uniforms, with many scars on their bodies, and their cultivation was sealed, making them look particularly miserable.

Zhuge Liang looked down at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Do you two confess what you have done?"

"recognize!"

Xiang Feng and Xiang Hao knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and spoke weakly.

You can't deny it.

Not to mention that the court had evidence of their crimes.

Once they entered the Jinyiwei Prison, even if they didn't want to talk, that group of ruthless officials had a hundred ways to make them confess.

As for falsification, that is even more impossible!

Never question professionalism!

Therefore, in response to Zhuge Liang's words, the two men were very straightforward and confessed their guilt directly.

Moreover.

According to Daxia law, those who actively confess their guilt and perform well can have their sentences reduced.

They didn't want to die, so after learning that the court had evidence of their crimes, they admitted everything the court said.

Finally, after careful consideration, the two of them discovered that the court only knew part of the charges, and there were some things that even the court did not know.

I couldn't help feeling bitter.

original
They had committed so many crimes without realizing it.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as a serious sin.

"Pronounce the verdict!"

Zhuge Liang nodded and gave another order.

"promise!"

Everyone stood up and saluted.

Lu Bing took a step forward, turned his right hand, took out a memorial, slowly opened it, and listed the crimes of Xiang Feng and the other two. There were thousands of words written in a very fluent manner, recording nearly a hundred crimes.

There are more than a dozen death penalty crimes alone.

Except for the capital crimes of deceiving the emperor and treason, he committed almost all the other capital crimes.

Of course, if they had committed the serious crime of treason, they would not be alive today. They would probably have been suppressed on the spot like the Lord of the Military Sect.

Lu Bing spent more than half an hour just reading the charges.

People who don’t know.

I thought he was reading a book.

And every time a charge was brought out, the leaders of the many sealing forces present would be shocked.

Because most of them have committed these crimes.

only.
Not as serious as Xiang Feng!

"I just don't know."

The Zhang clan leader fell into deep thought, muttering to himself.

Will he be sentenced to immediate execution?

If so, then the crime he committed would probably not have a good ending.

Everyone present looked at Jia Xu, waiting for his verdict. Some people also looked at Qian Yun, with pleading eyes, hoping that Qian Yun would stand up and speak during the trial.

Half an hour later, Lu Bing finished reading the charges, licked his dry lips, and sat back in his chair.

Qian Yun got a glass of water from somewhere and placed it in front of Lu Bing.

good boy.

Good eyesight!

Lu Bing looked at the tea, then glanced at Qian Yun, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

At this time, Jia Xu stood up. He was the Minister of Justice, in charge of the criminal law and prison affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, and was also the one who selected and read the verdicts. (End of this chapter)
