Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

"High Priest, I was wronged. What they just said is not true. Please give me a chance to prove my innocence!"

Linlang was still kneeling on one knee and kept lowering his head when speaking, but every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful, showing his magnanimity.

"This despicable man is best at sweet talk. The high priest must not believe it!" Lin Hu quickly raised his eyebrows and said eagerly.

But when he opened his mouth, the corners of Linlang's lips raised slightly while she was half-kneeling. On the other hand, Bo Ka looked ugly, cursing secretly in his heart, 'This idiot insists on adding extravagant details', but he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

Sure enough, after listening to what Lin Hu said, Zheng Lu's excitement calmed down a little. He first looked at Lin Hu deeply, then looked at Lin Lang and said.

"Since you have something to say, of course I want to hear it. If you have really done what Linhu and Boka just said, I advise you to tell the truth now. This will save everyone a lot of trouble. I will also consider giving you a good time, otherwise when all the truth is revealed, you should know my methods. "

With her hands clasped in front of her, Linlang lowered her head a little lower, and said at the same time: "I am really wronged by my humble position. I only hope that the high priest can make the decision for me and be sure to restore my innocence."

"Okay, since you are so determined, then I will listen to you about your grievances." Zheng Lu said calmly, and at the same time stretched out his hand and waved it gently.

After Linlang clasped his fists and saluted again, he raised his head directly, but the posture of kneeling on one knee did not change, so he spoke like this.

"The high priest should know the origin of Duobao Trading House. It was not established by me, but by taking the original Duobao Pavilion. As for Duobao Trading House, its development over the years has actually continued. The management and operation methods of Duobao Pavilion at that time, even if it was presided over by Lin Zhi, basically changed the soup without changing the medicine. "

Hearing what Linlang said, Zuo Feng immediately understood. He was a little surprised when he first heard about Duobao Trading House, why the names were so similar but had nothing to do with Duobao Pavilion. It wasn't until Linlang told the truth that Zuo Feng's doubts were resolved. The origin of Duobao Trading House was indeed closely related to Duobao Pavilion.

There was a look of impatience on his face, but what Linlang said was indeed true. Zheng Lu just made a faint "hum" sound. The sound was very subtle, and it felt like it just meant that he had "heard it".

Linlang was very sensible and immediately continued, saying: "If it is just like what Linhu and Boka said, Duobao Trading House sells monsters secretly, I will not deny this crime."

At this point, Linlang looked at Linhu, Boka and Jiang Xin fiercely, and said: "But who is clean about the private sale of monster beasts? The Sacrifice Branch also has its own trading channels, and Under the personal name of the city owner Jiang Xin, there are five stables for breeding and selling monsters. Although Boka is in Donglin County, as far as I know, the number of monsters he sells from the Acropolis every year is definitely still there. Above my Duobao trading house.”

Hearing what Linlang said, Zheng Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly glanced at Linhu, Boka and Jiang Xin. His eyes were full of the majesty of a superior. The three people who were still aggressive at first subconsciously looked away when they came into contact with Zheng Lu's gaze.

"snort"

This time Zheng Lu's voice clearly contained a hint of warmth and anger. In fact, although this matter was done very secretly, Zheng Lu, as the high priest, had not heard of it at all.

After all, the sales of monster beasts cannot be just one or two, nor can there be just a few transactions in a year. If we count strictly, there are at least thirty to fifty private monster transactions every year, and the smallest single transaction volume must be more than ten monsters, and many may even be hundreds, which adds up to at least thousands of monsters every year. If the higher-ups didn't hear anything about the private dealings between monsters and beasts, then they would be in trouble.

It's just that the private transactions of these monster beasts involve too wide a range of influence, and even the junior pavilion master of Benxiao Pavilion also behaves like this. As the saying goes, "The law does not punish the public." As long as the private sales are not excessive and the concealment is done as well as possible, the people above will turn a blind eye.

However, the higher-ups did not investigate, but they had other motives. When Ye Lin's higher-ups wanted to attack a certain, disobedient force or family, but were unable to find a suitable charge, privately selling monsters became a There are ready-made crimes that can be used at will.

Therefore, although the Ye Lin Empire will lose some profits, it will be of great benefit to the stability of the empire. After studying it, the senior officials acquiesced to this behavior.

But now that Linlang suddenly put this article on the table, Zheng Lu certainly couldn't express his position and admitted that such private selling of monster beasts would not constitute a felony.

Bo Ka, who was observing the situation, had been looking for opportunities. Seeing Zheng Lu's expression at this moment, he immediately made a judgment and said: "Linlang, don't evade the important and take the easy. The high priest is not asking you about this crime."

Zheng Lu was a bit straighter and not good at adapting. Although he was dissatisfied with someone interrupting, the other person did him a favor, so he did not pursue it. Instead, he looked at Linlang and said, "Yes, that's not what I want to hear. What about selling monster beasts privately, but you betrayed the empire, lured wolves into the house, turned the Acropolis upside down, and even caused the death of water priest Zhu Tao. "

When talking about Zhu Tao's death, Zheng Lu almost said every word through gritted teeth. It was obvious that what touched him the most was the death of Zhu Tao.

Linlang nodded. At this time, Linlang's expression had completely calmed down. A few people present had noticed the subtle changes in the atmosphere.

Previously, Lin Hu, Jiang Xin and Bo Ka's words aroused Zheng Lu's anger, and he originally planned to kill Lin Lang on the spot out of anger.

However, Linlang reacted very quickly and acted very respectfully at first. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Even in the rage of Zheng Lu, he refused to even ask a few more questions and directly killed a county guard on the spot. Kill.

Linlang, who got the opportunity, did not rush to explain the most serious crimes. Instead, he started talking about selling monsters privately. Among the many crimes, this matter can be said to be a trivial matter. Whether it is said or not is of no consequence. It's innocuous.

However, he resisted this crime first. From this point, Linlang's shrewdness could be seen. What Boka said just now is correct, but not completely correct. Avoiding the important and taking the easy is just one of Linlang's purposes. At the same time, he also has a more important purpose, which is to ease the atmosphere at this time, especially for Zheng Lu who will do it at any time. Take action attitude.

Linlang also knew that her superiors knew something about selling monster beasts privately, and she also knew their attitude towards this kind of behavior. When he admits his trivial crime in advance, he will show Zheng Lu that he intends to be completely honest, thus making the other party put down such strong hostility.

Judging from the results, Linlang's goal has been achieved. The faces of Boka, Linhu and Jiang Xin became very ugly at this time. If they develop according to their plan, even if Linlong is not killed now, he will be disabled and captured. But the current situation is obviously not as smooth as expected.

But Zuo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, but he felt something else in his heart. 'This Linlang really had a well-planned plan. Although he was momentarily panicked when he first faced the furious Zheng Lu, he has now completely calmed down. Especially now that he has begun to control the subtle changes in the atmosphere.

But I still don’t quite understand where this guy’s confidence comes from. There are some crimes that he can’t prove on his own. Even Lin Hu and Boka realized that this was a confusing account and deliberately It was all framed on Linlang's head, how could he resolve it?

Even with the "trump card" I prepared, at most it can only prove that it was not the beast wave initiated by Lin Zhi. But Linzhi had been following me in the inner city and was still rescued by me. This is an ironclad fact. ’

Linhu, Boka and others did not believe that Linlang had any means to prove his innocence, but Zuo Feng did not understand what Linlang relied on or what methods he could use. Logically speaking, no matter how much evidence and rhetoric he presented, he would not be able to prove his innocence. It may really resolve several serious crimes mentioned by Lin Hu and others before.

"Everything has a cause and effect. Some of them said that my daughter was instructed by me to secretly cooperate with Zuo Feng to launch a beast attack in the city, and even arranged for the flash wolf beast to enter the acropolis. "

When she said this, Linlang looked at Zheng Lu with aggrieved face and said: "High Priest, all this is really unjust. My daughter has never participated in anything in the trading house since she came to Acropolis. She just The fact that he only wanted a flash wolf beast had spread throughout the Shinkari County a few years ago, and the price had even been higher than ever before.

Could it be that she had known a few years ago that Zuo Feng would have trouble in Licheng and that Zuo Feng was coming to cause trouble in Acropolis? She must know that the people from Zuojia Village seemed to be still in Yancheng at that time. "

"Then tell me why Linzhi has been following Zuo Feng, and why Zuo Feng did not hesitate to kill a large number of Benxiao Pavilion warriors to rescue Linzhi."

Zheng Lu had already mastered these matters, which was why he immediately planned to take action after hearing the words of Lin Hu and others just after he arrived. He had already preconceptions that what the three of them said was the truth.

Lin Hu showed pain on his face, and then glared at Zuo Feng fiercely and said, "The culprit of all this is Zuo Feng. He first colluded with Lin Zhi's subordinate, the manager named Mo Shangyu, and successfully Sneaked into the city.

And that flash wolf beast was captured by him. Now it seems that Zuo Feng arranged all this in advance. Otherwise, the high priest had encountered that flash wolf beast before. With the power of Mo Shangyu and others, how could they have been able to capture it. "

"Oh, what you're saying is that one of Linzhi's subordinates colluded with Zuo Feng to do all this. Then how do you explain how Lin Zhi came to act with Zuo Feng?"

When Zheng Lu asked this question, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that the answer given by Linlang made him extremely dissatisfied and even felt like he had been fooled.

Waving her hands hastily, Linlang immediately explained: "Great Priest, please listen to me. Linzhi was completely coerced. I can confirm this. She was completely coerced. She had no choice but to follow this kid.

As for why Zuo Feng saved my daughter, it was precisely because she was an important chess piece that he took my daughter away in order to realize his subsequent rescue plan. "
