Main Text Chapter 613 Execution

The envoy Yue Tianbo only asked about right and wrong, but didn't pay attention to what he said. Cheng Aofang's testimony was in his favor, so he naturally wouldn't question the problem with the testimony, so he didn't worry about the flaws in it.

But Nie Changkong was different. Regardless of whether the people below were right or wrong, as the Palace Master of Xianxing Palace, how could he not stand up for the people below when encountering such a thing, not to mention that the Palace Master under his command was beaten to death, so naturally he had to do everything he could to seek justice and maintain his own face.

After hearing what he said at this time, not to mention Yue Tianbo, even Cheng Aofang noticed the problem in the testimony, and they both looked at Lan Hou.

Lan Hou was unmoved and said calmly: "These testimonies are enough. I didn't try any of the two parties involved in the fight."

Nie Changkong sneered, "Governor Lan claims to be strict in law enforcement, but he didn't even try the parties involved in the fight. He only used one-sided testimonies to judge right and wrong, and put my Xianxing Palace in an unjust position. I want to ask why this is the case. Could it be that Governor Lan deliberately favored the Muxing Palace? My Xianxing Palace doesn't seem to have offended you, so why is it so unfair!"

Lan Hou replied calmly: "Nie Changkong, do you suspect that these testimonies were forged by me?"

"I dare not!" Nie Changkong said in a deep voice: "The testimonies may be true, but there must be other hidden secrets. Why didn't my men even have a chance to defend themselves?" He turned around and bowed to Yue Tianbo, "Envoy, I don't accept that Governor Lan made such a hasty judgment!"

Before Yue Tianbo spoke, Lan Hou had already said: "Envoy knows the reason best. If you don't accept it, you can listen to Envoy's instructions."

Yue Tianbo was speechless. What can I know after I just came back? What is this Lord Lan doing?

However, Nie Changkong has already bowed his hands and asked for instructions, "Since Grand Commander Lan said so, then I dare to ask you to teach me a lesson. Even if I am wrong, I want to make it clear!"

Yue Tianbo's mind was empty, and he had no clue at all. If he taught me a lesson, he would definitely make a fool of himself, but he couldn't let the people below think he was an idiot!

However, it was not easy to climb to this position, so he easily dealt with it: "Lord Lan. There are no outsiders, so there is no need to beat around the bush." ​​The ball was kicked back to Lord Lan.

"Yes!" Lord Lan bowed his hands and responded, looking at Nie Changkong and said: "It's just because of the four words 'strict law enforcement'!"

"Such unclearness is also called strict law enforcement?" Nie Changkong snorted coldly. "Forgive me for my ignorance. Please let Grand Commander Lan explain!"

Marquis Lan said, "I will say the same thing. The testimonies of these bystanders are enough. No one else needs to be tried again! These testimonies are enough to punish both parties involved in the fight! If they are really serious about the trial, I will not be partial. All cultivators who dare to fight in the capital will be severely punished. Do you two palace masters want me to chop off the heads of all your palace masters, or do you want me to imprison them for a hundred years? Can you guarantee that you will not ask the Lord Envoy for mercy? If you two ask the Lord Envoy, do you want the Lord Envoy to be partial or enforce the law?"

As soon as these words came out, Nie Changkong was speechless. It was not okay to chop off the heads of all the palace masters under his command, and it was certainly not okay to imprison them for a hundred years. What a joke it was that the palace masters below disappeared collectively for a hundred years? It was okay for one or two to disappear for a while, but if they all disappeared for a year, it would not be okay! It is impossible not to ask the envoy for mercy. I am afraid that the envoy will be in a dilemma. Once the envoy opens this loophole, it will be difficult to close it in the future. If there are cultivators in the capital who have similar problems in the future, and someone comes to the envoy to ask for mercy, it is unreasonable for the envoy to give face to Nie Changkong but not to others. If this continues, the law and order will not exist!

Cheng Aofang looked as if she had suddenly realized something, and bowed to Lan Hou and said, "The Grand Commander is wise." She didn't suffer any loss anyway, so it didn't matter if she said something cheap.

The key point is that Yue Tianbo nodded secretly after listening to it. This is why he likes Lan Hou. Putting Lan Hou in the position of law enforcement can achieve "strict law enforcement" and at the same time take into account Yue Tianbo's consideration. With such a dedicated subordinate, what else can he say?

Seeing that Nie Changkong was silent, Yue Tianbo, who had figured it out, naturally said calmly: "Nie Changkong, did you hear what I meant?"

Nie Changkong had to bow and said: "I heard it clearly."

Yue Tianbo asked: "Are you convinced now?"

Nie Changkong bowed and bowed slightly, "I am convinced!" But he turned back and said: "I just don't know how Governor Lan is going to deal with them?"

Marquis Lan said: "Since the rules are here, how can we let off easily for fighting in the capital? The death penalty can be escaped, but the living crime is hard to forgive. How can we convince the people in the future without giving them a lesson? Small punishments and big warnings are inevitable. Anyone who participated in the fight will be whipped five times with the "Dragon Taming Whip"!"

Dragon Taming Whip? Nie Changkong twitched his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to say if Governor Lan wants to punish me. I just want to ask, how will the murderer Miao Yi be dealt with? Is he also whipped five times?"

Lan Hou said calmly: "Everyone knows why this matter happened. Miao Yi and I are not relatives, and we will not favor him. If the dead Wen Jiuxian hadn't made rude remarks and took action first, this would never have happened. To put it bluntly, Wen Jiuxian is dead. If he had not died, even if Palace Master Nie begged for mercy, I would have chopped off his head, and Miao Yi would have been acquitted. So this matter has already been resolved by the Governor. Let's not pursue the case. The punishment is for the fight. If Palace Master Nie insists on pursuing Wen Jiuxian's death, Miao Yi and I will still be acquitted, unless someone can prove that it is wrong to fight back after being beaten, even if it is wrong to fight back after being beaten, This governor also wants to hold Palace Master Nie accountable for his lax control of his subordinates. Who gave him the courage to take action in the capital? If the palace masters do not restrain their subordinates' behavior in the capital in the future, who will be responsible for the consequences of Wen Jiuxian's affairs? The Lord is to blame!”

"You..." Nie Changkong stared at him with a twitching expression. Well, even I have to be punished, but he also knew that what Lan Hou said was not unreasonable.

"Okay!" Yue Tianbo interrupted. Lanhou had already thought so carefully for him. How could he let the matter escalate? He immediately said: "Lanhou has been in charge of punishment for many years. He has a better idea of ​​what to do than you Nie. Changkong knows in his heart that this matter will be left to Lanhou, and you two should stay out of trouble."

"Yes!" Nie Changkong and Cheng Aofang could only accept the order.

After coming out of the Golden Palace, the two of them followed Lanhou to the outside of the prison in the Dudu Mansion.

Lan Hou signaled, and the two groups fighting in the prison were all kicked out. When they saw their respective palace masters, they quickly stepped forward to salute, thinking that their palace master came to take them away.

Who would have thought that Lanhou's words would make the hairs of many people stand on end, "Get ready for execution!"

A group of palace masters were suddenly shocked and confused. Execution? What punishment?

The person who is most worried is Miao Yi. What punishment will be imposed? Who is to be executed?

However, the two palace masters remained there with sullen faces and did not speak.

I saw two monks from the Dudu Mansion flying up, each pulling out a thick iron chain and fastening it to the two copper pillars on the left and right outside the prison. There was a hand shackle tied to the other end of the two iron chains.

"Palace Master! What is this?" Miao Xingxing naturally relied on his identity to ask Cheng Aofang.

Cheng Aofang said coldly: "Do you think fighting in the capital is a trivial matter?"

Miao Yi's expression twitched, but he saw Nie Changkong coming over, glanced at him up and down, and turned around and said: "Lan Hou, if I remember correctly, this guy seems to be the second time you have arrested him and sent him to the sky prison, right? This person is a habitual offender, and I recommend that the Governor of Lanzhou be severely punished."

Cheng Aofang answered: "The Commander-in-Chief of Lanzhou has his own decision. It doesn't mean anything if he is taken into the prison for the second time. If your people hadn't taken action first, how could he have been taken in for the second time?"

The palace masters from all walks of life stared at Miao Yi in astonishment. This guy Qianqing was a habitual criminal who was arrested in the prison for the second time. What the hell, he is definitely not a good guy!

What shocked the group was the 'Dragon Taming Whip' shaken out from the hands of the monks from the Dudu Mansion. It was simply a steel whip, covered with fangs and steel teeth.

"Execution!" Lanhou suddenly gave the order.

Immediately, two monks from the Dudu Mansion stepped forward and grabbed the arm of an Immortal Palace Master, dragging it between the two iron chains tied to the two copper pillars.

The man suddenly screamed: "What are you doing? Palace Master! What are they doing?"

Nie Changkong, who was already holding back his anger, said angrily: "What do you call it? It means you can be whipped five times, but you won't die!"

The man was a little confused, but the palace master spoke. He was dragged to the execution position in extreme horror. The two shackles "clicked" to lock his two wrists, and the whole person was in a "big" shape.

The person who put on the lock quickly retreated to both sides, and the executioner holding the 'Dragon Training Whip' reminded: "It's best not to use magic to resist. This 'Dragon Training Whip' is a third-grade magic weapon. If you use magic to resist, I will have no choice but to use magic to resist." Don’t blame me if your whole person is cut into two pieces with a whip!”

After saying hello, he waved his hand and whipped out his whip.

"Ah..." He screamed in agony, and a whip hit his back, tearing off a strip of his clothes and flesh, causing blood to burst out. You can directly see the tooth marks left on the white bones.

Then there was another whip, and another uncontrollable scream came out. The palace master's body was twitching and twisting in pain.

After five whips, there was no good piece of meat visible behind it, it was almost just bones and blood, and the ground was even more bloody.

The two men who went up quickly unlocked the lock, dragged the injured aside and threw it away. Another frightened and incomprehensible palace master was dragged onto the execution rack. The sound of whips and screams started again.

After this miserable guy was dragged down, Miao Yi came close to Cheng Aofang and said with a dry smile: "Palace Master, the monks of the Immortal Palace are really being punished for being tortured like this..."

He actually wanted to test whether the only people who suffered punishment were from the Immortal Palace. Unexpectedly, Nie Changkong turned around and sneered: "Don't worry, everyone who fights has a share, and you, the culprit, are also indispensable."

Miao Yi immediately said plausibly: "My wooden palace is self-defense, what crime do I have?"

"Drag him up first for execution!" Lan Hou, who was standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly pointed at Miao Yi. (To be continued...)
