Chapter 239 (4000) Lord Lu, You Don’t Want the People From Southern Xinjiang to Cause Trouble in the City, Right?

When Luo Jun and others arrived at the Governor's Mansion, they were told that Lord Lu was meeting with the Fifth Elder of Southern Xinjiang.

"Fifth Elder?" Tie Jingang looked at Liu Si: "Who is he?"

"He is the second most important person in Yunzhou City among the people of Southern Xinjiang." Liu Si explained: "If the Great Witch is the emperor, this Fifth Elder is the regent."

"Is he easy to talk to?" Luo Jun asked.

Liu Si shook his head: "I haven't met him. Uncle Hou has dealt with him several times. He is a rigid and stubborn old man who pays special attention to the interests of the people in Southern Xinjiang. He is not a bad person, but it is difficult to communicate with him."

"Uncle Hou has a more easy-going personality and I can get along with him."

Luo Jun nodded: "But the Great Witch is gone, so what he says is the final say, right?"

"When the Great Witch was here, what he said was final." Liu Si said: "The deceased Great Witch was transferred here three years ago. Before him, the number one person in Southern Xinjiang in Yunzhou City had changed several times, but this Fifth Elder has been in charge of Yunzhou for many years... Many people think that he is the real power figure in Southern Xinjiang!"

"Just let him have the final say!" Luo Jun nodded and said to the messenger who reported: "Sir, please inform Lord Lu and tell him that the Bainamen has an urgent matter to see."

Seeing that the messenger was a little hesitant, he stuffed him a piece of silver, which was the half piece that had not been exchanged for copper coins before. Seeing the silver, the messenger immediately smiled and went in to report.

"Don't worry." Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Lord Lu wants to use our Baina Sect, so he has to pay a price."

The Baina Sect members looked at each other and thought that Luo Jun had guessed it right. Tie Jingang and Liu Si winked at Luo Jun, and it was your turn to perform.

"This... Isn't this embarrassing for me..." As he said, Lord Lu pointed to the skinny old man beside him: "By the way, let me introduce you, this is the fifth elder of Nanjiang... These are the masters of Baina Sect..."

"Bai Na Sect?" The fifth elder narrowed his eyes: "That Hou Song is from your sect, right?"

"You want to ask for help, how can you have this attitude!"

Sure enough, not long after, the messenger came to report that Lord Lu invited them in.

Luo Jun looked at the skinny old man in front of him, smiled slightly, and summoned the Tianji dice in his mind.

Lord Lu spread his hands to the people of Bainamen: "You have seen it too. I didn't mean to embarrass Hou Song. It's really a serious matter, and Nanjiang also attaches great importance to it... If you really want to prove his innocence, you should bring convincing evidence..."

"You say it's irrelevant, so it's irrelevant?" The fifth elder snorted coldly: "The people of Central Plains are the most cunning. You guys are perjuring each other. Who can prove the truth? I only trust my heart-stimulating Gu!"

"If he really wants Bainamen to help, he shouldn't refuse." Luo Jun is very confident: "Even if he doesn't let you, we have you, Uncle Tie. If we break in, who can stop us?"

"Humph!" The fifth elder raised the cane in his hand: "Why bother? Leave the person to us, and the heart-stimulating Gu will be applied, and no one can lie!"

"Oh, Fifth Elder... After being infected with the heart-stimulating Gu, Not to mention that he can't survive, he will have to be buried in a rotten piece of land after he dies..." Lord Lu waved his hand hurriedly and said, "Besides, you don't want to kill innocent people, right? I suggest that we have solid evidence to find out the real murderer who killed the great witch, so that we can comfort his spirit in heaven..."

"Lord Lu, my uncle is really wronged!" Liu Si requested, "This time it's not just me, this is Uncle Tie from our sect, and there are also outstanding disciples from the sect who come together to ask Uncle Hou for an explanation..."

"Oh, Fifth Elder, I said, it takes time to solve the case..." Lord Lu explained to the skinny old man, "We have arrested all the suspects and are interrogating them strictly..."

In the reception room, on one side is Lord Lu in official uniform, and on the other side is a skinny old man wearing southern Xinjiang clothes and walking stick.

As he was talking, Lord Lu noticed Liu Si and the others, his eyes lit up, and then he said with a bitter face: "Hey Liu Si, why are you so persistent? I told you that this matter is not negotiable..."

"Will Lord Lu let us in before the reception is over?" Tie Jingang asked.

Tie Jingang nodded: "That's right, and Hou Song was handling affairs in the sect last night and never left. We can all testify that it has nothing to do with the death of the witch..."

Unlike Luo Jun's stereotype of ancient officials, Lord Lu is not a middle-aged and elderly man with a three-point beard and gentle manners. He looks only about 30 years old, not tall, chubby, his eyes are squeezed by the flesh on his face, and he looks like he is always grinning. If it weren't for the official uniform, I'm afraid no one would think that such a harmless guy would be a frontier official of the court.

"You want to see the Fifth Elder?" Liu Si frowned: "Forget it... Lord Lu may not be able to persuade him. If we go in, it will only intensify the conflict..."

"Just go in and watch my performance later, and cooperate appropriately." Luo Jun whispered on the way. Although Tie Jingang and Liu Si didn't know what he was up to, this guy had a clear mind along the way, and they really didn't have any ideas, so they just listened to him first.

"Persuade the Fifth Elder to let Hou Song go!"

Use intermediate point correction!

The two pairs of dice turned, and the last pair stopped at 3 points, and the last pair was 90 points!

Good guy, it's either success or failure... Luo Jun secretly sweated and chose 90 points.

"Ding, the event difficulty is 99 points, the final points are 90+15 points, the event is successful!"

With the dice as a count, Luo Jun had a bottom line in his heart.

According to Mr. Lu, in order to rescue Hou Song, Bainamen must help solve the case and prove his innocence. But in Luo Jun's eyes, the essence of this matter is still the owner of the suffering, that is, whether the people of Southern Xinjiang pursue the case. As long as he can convince the fifth elder, then Master Hou will be fine.

Of course, with the stubbornness and rigidity of the Fifth Elder, most people would find it difficult to persuade them... But no matter how difficult it is, as long as the success rate is not zero, Tianji Dice can turn things around!

What does it mean to draw fire from under the cauldron!

"Fifth Elder, I just heard that you have a heart-destroying Gu. Can you prove the real culprit?" Luo Jun asked.

"That's right!" There was a trace of pride on the face of the fifth elder: "That is the poisonous poison used to torture our enemies in southern Xinjiang. After taking it, within six hours, you will tell the truth to anything you ask. After six hours, your whole body will rot. And die!"

"It's really amazing!" Luo Jun gave a thumbs up: "Does using the heart-destroying Gu on our Master Hou prove his innocence?"

The Fifth Elder was slightly startled: "If he used the Heart-Destroying Gu and can admit that he did not do it, then I will definitely believe in his innocence, but in that case, he will not survive six hours..."

"Okay, then use it!" Luo Jun nodded in agreement.

"Huh?!" Everyone present showed black question marks on their faces, and even the fifth elders wondered if they had heard wrongly.

"Did you hear clearly?" The fifth elder said: "After using the heart-destroying Gu, six hours later..."

"You will die, I understand!" Luo Jun said: "In order to prove the innocence of our Bainamen, I think it is worth a try! If after using it, Hou Song admits that he killed the person, then he will be worthy of his death!"

"It is natural to kill someone to pay for their life. What's more, the person who killed him was the great witch from southern Xinjiang. He not only put Bainamen in crisis, but also destroyed the peace that had been maintained for decades in the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang. His heart is to be punished!"

The fifth elder swallowed, looked at the young man, and then at Tie Jingang and Liu Si behind him: "Does this kid mean what he says?"

The two of them were a little unresponsive, looking at Luo Jun dumbfounded...

"But!" Luo Jun changed his tone: "If after using it, it proves that Master Hou is innocent, what will happen?"

"This..." The fifth elder was slightly startled: "If a good person is wronged, we will naturally compensate him..."

"Compensation?" Luo Jun raised his voice: "That's a human life. What can I do with it? How about compensation for human life?"

"Okay, let me tell you, Hou Song is the purple-robed deacon of our Baina Sect, in charge of the Yunzhou branch. Although he doesn't have many people under his command, he is also a representative of the powerful party in the sect. His status and power are no less than An elder. In order to prove our so-called innocence, our Bainamen lost an elder. Why, does Southern Xinjiang also have to lose an elder? "

"The fifth elder is not planning to take his own life!"

"You!" The fifth elder frowned and stood up with a cane: "Where did you come from? Can you represent Bainamen? There is no one in Bainamen?"

The fifth elder released an invisible momentum. Although Luo Jun didn't take it seriously, considering his level of solid foundation, he still pretended that he couldn't bear it. He took two steps back and came behind Tie Jingang, and stabbed Tie Shi at the same time. Uncle.

Tie Jingang understood the idea, stepped forward, and released his momentum to withstand the pressure of the fifth elder.

The fifth elder stared at Tie Jingang with his old eyes.

This is a master! Not beneath me!

"I can represent it!" Tie Jingang said: "I am the purple-robed deacon of the Baina Sect. His words are what I mean!"

Seeing that he could no longer suppress it, the fifth elder also restrained his momentum: "What do you mean, your Excellency? Do you want me to take my life?"

"This..." Tie Jingang didn't know what Luo Jun meant and looked back at him.

"I am also making an analogy." Luo Jun stepped forward again: "But if Master Hou really dies under the heart-destroying Gu, the relationship between Bainamen and Southern Xinjiang will be forged. Bainamen does not need to enter Southern Xinjiang. , People from southern Xinjiang, can you not come to the Central Plains? Can you feel safe when passing through Tongda Town?"

The fifth elder frowned.

"Of course, there are only a thousand people in our Bainamen, which is not as large as the one hundred thousand mountains in southern Xinjiang. But for so many years, Bainamen has a wide network of people in the Central Plains martial arts world and has a good reputation. We sent the middle elder to die in vain in southern Xinjiang. If it is in the hands of others, it is not just a matter of one person from the Baina Clan, it will slap the face of the entire Central Plains martial arts community. At that time, all sects and factions will be hostile to Southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains have been at peace for decades, and trade between the two places has prospered. Many southern Xinjiang people have made a living on this and even settled in the Central Plains. If the hatred of the Central Plains martial arts community against the southern Xinjiang people is aroused, the Fifth Elder will not care about the safety of those compatriots. Already?"

The fifth elder looked at Luo Jun, hesitated for a few seconds, and sighed: "I don't want to do anything about it, but the death of the great witch is of great importance, and we must investigate it clearly."

"I understand the fifth elder's mood." Luo Jun's tone also softened: "But you have also dealt with our Master Hou. Ask yourself, do you really believe that he will be the murderer of the great witch?"

"This..." Hou Song has an easy-going personality, a low-key behavior, and obeys the law. In the previous disputes between Nanjiang and Bainamen, the Fifth Elder and Hou Song came to mediate on behalf of both parties. It was originally difficult to deal with the fifth elder because of his temper, but after getting in touch with him, he spoke highly of Hou Song and felt that he was a sensible person.

Seeing the fifth elder hesitate, Luo Jun struck while the iron was hot: "To be honest, this Uncle Tie, and more than 50 people including me, all set out from the sect half a month ago to celebrate the birthday in Yaowang Valley, and just arrived in Yunzhou yesterday. There are dozens of people in the team, plus the carriages and horses. Uncle Hou was busy in order to settle us, and he didn't even have time to rest. How could he have time to assassinate the great witch?"

"That's right!" Liu Si also said: "Uncle Hou did not leave the sect after receiving the team from the sect yesterday. You can verify this! When the troops entered the sect yesterday afternoon, many people saw it. We were too busy with our own affairs..."

"We guarantee it with the reputation of the sect!" Tie Jingang stepped forward: "Yesterday until I was with him in the middle of the night, so I had no chance to kill him!"

The Fifth Elder was silent for a while, and finally sighed and looked at Lord Lu: "Lord Lu, I'm sorry, I really don't believe that Hou Song did this, and I can't bear to wrongly accuse a good man, so let him go... But the other suspects, if the real murderer has not been found by the time of the funeral of the Great Witch, they will have to accept my heart-breaking Gu!"

"This..." Lord Lu looked embarrassed, and the Fifth Elder bowed his hands: "The death of the Great Witch is not trivial. If the real murderer is not caught, not only me, but also the Southern Xinjiang headquarters will not give up. I have lived in Yunzhou City for many years, and I know better than anyone that peace is hard-won. I hope you will pay attention to it, goodbye!"

After speaking, the Fifth Elder left with a cane.

As the Fifth Elder left, Luo Jun heard a successful event notification in his mind.

"Ding, the event was successful, the event difficulty was 99 points, the severity coefficient was seven times, and the experience was 693 points."

After accepting this large amount of experience, Luo Jun thought that this Tianji dice was really useful. He didn't think that his eloquence was good enough to impress the Fifth Elder. He believed that if there was no dice judgment, even if it was the same set of rhetoric, it might not work.

"Oh... Congratulations..." Lord Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Hou has cleared the suspicion... I... I will let him go right away..."

"Wait!" Luo Jun waved his hand: "Lord Lu, if I heard it correctly just now, the Fifth Elder said 'sorry' to you, right?"

"Uh... did he?" Lord Lu seemed a little nervous.

"I heard it too!" Tie Jingang snorted coldly, and Liu Si on the side also nodded.

"Why did the Fifth Elder apologize to you, Lord Lu, when he asked to release Uncle Hou?" Luo Jun said with a smile, "Could it be that it was your idea to detain Uncle Hou? Did the Fifth Elder cooperate with you in the play?"

"How...how is this possible?" Lord Lu's fat face trembled slightly, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat: "Hou Song and I have been friends for so many years, and we have no grudges..."

"Lord Lu, you hit the nail on the head." Luo Jun said with a smile, "You and Uncle Hou have been friends for so many years, if you want us to help you, just tell us directly, isn't it inappropriate to do this?"
