Douluo: Zodiac Tower

268 Public Execution
The Tang King's Capital Hall.

Xiahou's words were deafening, and he pushed King Tang onto the grill, in a dilemma.

As for the case of the Lin family, King Tang knew well that it was indeed an unjust case.

But in many cases, the real problem often does not lie in the case itself, but in the background of the people involved.

Xiahou is the Great General of Zhenbei. He controls an army of [-]. He is very influential in the military department. He is also the elder brother of his queen.

Ning Que with a crooked mouth is the thirteenth student of the academy. He may not be very capable, but he has the academy as his backer.

The king of Tang knew well the strength of the academy, and he treated his master like a god. It was precisely because of this that he was willing to kill his relatives righteously and reverse the case for Ning Que.

But the crooked mouth Ning Que killed the young master of the Lin family, he really didn't know about it!

A person who killed the master to survive and cut off the blood of the Lin family, openly demanded to reverse the case for the Lin family, sounds ridiculous in itself.

It is very difficult for the current king of Tang to deal with it. If a strict investigation is carried out, looking at Xiahou's swearing, and based on the understanding of Xiahou by the king of Tang, this matter is likely to be true.

How to deal with it then?

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, killing a master by a servant is a capital offense.

Don't talk about King Tang's appreciation for Ning Que, but because of his status as the thirteenth teacher of the other academy, without his master nodding, King Tang would not dare to touch Ning Que.

But if he ignores it, he will appear anticlimactic. Where is his prestige as the king of Tang?

Seeing Tang Wang's constipated face, Xia Hou felt secretly refreshed.

The only thing he worries about now is that the master will make a move. The master is a practitioner of the Wuju realm, at least level 6.

Xiahou is only level 4 now, two big levels behind the master, if the master wants to, he can kill him with a single swing of a ruler in the hospital.

Although you can ask the group owner or Saitama for help, it is impossible for these two big guys to pay attention to the chat group all the time and provide him with shelter.

If there is an emergency, Xiahou can only choose to use the traversal talisman to go to the world of the Lord of the Rings.

He had already promised the gray-robed wizard to help him deal with the dragon Smaug, which was an extra way out.

It can not only avoid the master, but also earn a wave of points.

After some debate in the court, Tang Wang still declared Ning Que to enter the palace, and some matters still required the presence of the parties.

A moment later, Ning Que with a crooked mouth entered the hall.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Ning Que, with a crooked mouth, saluted King Tang, and then looked at Xiahou with hatred.

"waste."

Xiahou didn't give Ning Que any face at all. In Xiahou's view, if Ning Que hadn't been taken care of by Haotian and his master, it wouldn't be worth mentioning at all.

And every time he saw Ning Que's crooked face, Xiahou felt the same urge to be straightened by his mouth.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Tang Wang said, "Mr. Thirteen, I invite you here today for the case of Lin Guangyuan. Let me ask you, your father is Ning Xian, and he is the concierge of General Xuanwei?"

Ning Que with the crooked mouth was stunned for a moment, he had never mentioned his father's name to outsiders, and outsiders mistakenly thought he was Lin Guangyuan's son, and Ning Que with the crooked mouth never made any excuses.

Unexpectedly, King Tang suddenly revealed his father's real name today. Was it a special investigation?

But it has been 15 years, things are different, how does Tang Wang know.

Looking at Xiahou who was at the side, Ning Que asked with his mouth twisted, "Could it be him?"

That day in Tuyang City, Xia Hou invited a mysterious master to severely injure senior elder brother Li Manman, and dealt a big blow to Ning Que, who thought that with the backing of the academy, he could flex his muscles.

Unexpectedly, the backer behind Xia Hou was even more terrifying. When he returned to the back mountain of the academy, the master once famously said that the people behind Xia Hou were existences that even he feared.

As a last resort, Ning Que turned to King Tang for help, hoping that King Tang would punish Xiahou strictly according to law.

But now it seems that his understanding of Xiahou is too superficial, but the other party's understanding of him is very detailed.

Thinking quickly, Ning Que replied, "That's right, my father is Ning Xian, General Xuanwei's concierge."

Ning Que didn't feel ashamed of the identity of the concierge's son. He didn't mention it before, but he just didn't want to.

When the surrounding officials heard this, there was an uproar.

Xiahou said it was one thing, but the person said it was another.

Now hearing Ning Que's own confession, such as the prince, and those who are not used to Ning Que's crooked mouth, all showed gloating looks.

Those who had a better relationship with Ning Que with the crooked mouth sighed secretly.

Tang Wang hesitated to speak, and finally said: "It doesn't matter, whether the son of the concierge or the son of the general, they are all qualified to seek justice. I... I have another question. Master Lin, was he killed by you?"

As soon as these words came out, Ning Que's crooked mouth changed instantly.

This matter has always been his hidden secret. In order to survive, he did not obey the arrangement of the housekeeper, but killed the housekeeper and the young master to escape. God knows this, and other than that, only he, the person involved, knows why the king of Tang Will ask about this, do you know something?
Xia Hou sneered: "Why, Mr. Shisan dare to do it or not?"

"I haven't done it, why should I admit it?"

Ning Que with a crooked mouth is not a fool, he confesses leniently, and sits in prison. If he pleads guilty now, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to him.

At the moment, he insisted that he hadn't done it. Anyway, after so many years, these people couldn't let the dead young master of the Lin family speak up.

Xia Hou said disdainfully: "Sure enough, it's a waste, and I don't even have the courage to admit what I have done."

"Speak with evidence, without evidence, General Xiahou is wronged and addicted." Ning Que said with a crooked mouth, and sneered to cover up his guilt, and the corners of his mouth became more crooked unknowingly.

Xiahou resisted the urge to slap him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shisan wants evidence, and this general will give you evidence, and it is ironclad evidence."

After Xiahou read the memory copy, how could he be unprepared? In addition to working hard to improve his cultivation during this period, he also obtained black material about Ning Que's crooked mouth, so that he could come in handy one day.

Thanks to the inspiration of the eldest princess Li Yunrui, Xiahou is going to publicly execute Ning Que with the crooked mouth.

While speaking, he took out a palm-sized projector.

This projector comes from the items on Scar's shelves. It can project holographic images and sounds. The price is 10 credits.

"What is this?"

"It looks weird, what's the use?"

"You won't know if you look at it."

The surrounding ministers cast curious glances.

Ning Que's eyes widened. He didn't know a projector, but after all, he was a person who traveled from modern times. This kind of sci-fi-like item didn't look like something that should exist in this world.

"Everyone, please see."

Xiahou pressed the play button, and a burst of green light burst out from the projector, rhythmically projecting a holographic image.

In the video, it is the scene of the massacre of Xuanwei General Lin Guangyuan's extermination.

This image is very realistic. The scene of Xia Hou leading the army to massacre the Lin family caught everyone's eyes, making people feel as if they were actually there.

King Tang and other ministers had seen such advanced equipment there, and they were startled at first.

Xia Hou explained: "This is a projector, which can present some pictures of the past and the future. That day, my subordinates led troops to destroy the Lin family. This child is the original Mister Thirteen."

Ning Que looked at Xia Hou with a crooked mouth, "Why do you have such a thing? Who are you?"

"I am Xiahou, and I have always been. Those who killed your parents are my subordinates. They deserve to die. If you want to seek revenge from me, I welcome you at any time. Now let's look at your past."

Xiahou didn't care about Ning Que's murderous eyes.

At the same time, the holographic image changed, and the butler took the young master of the Lin family and the crooked Ning Que into the firewood room. As Xia Hou said earlier, the butler wanted to kill Ning Que and replace the young master.

Wooked Ning Que's status is low, but he is a time traveler, and his thinking is that of an adult. Naturally, he can't be willing to die for others. Therefore, when the housekeeper chose to kill Waizui Ning Que, Waizui Ning Que struggled to fight back. The butler and the young master of the Lin family escaped the massacre.

The holographic image is clear, and Tang Wang and all the ministers can see it clearly.

The housekeeper wanted to kill Ning Que with a crooked mouth. It could be said that Ning Que with a crooked mouth was justified in self-defense.

But after killing the housekeeper, Ning Que with a crooked mouth chose to kill the young master of the Lin family. This was entirely because of Ning Que's dark heart.

He is very clear that the young master of the Lin family must be the target of the other party's pursuit today. If the young master of the Lin family does not die, then these murderers will definitely not let it go.

So he kept doing nothing, killed the young master of the Lin family, and won a moment for himself.

Outsiders can't see these inner activities, but they can see that it was Ning Que who killed the young master of the Lin family, that's enough.

There were no fools present, so they could more or less guess what Ning Que was thinking. Being so decisive and ruthless at such a young age, everyone present had to re-examine Ning Que.
