I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Xie Zhiqiu spoke first without waiting for Lin's mother to speak.

"Sir, I want to redress Lin Ming's injustice, accusing his mother of murdering her own son and framing me. I hope you can investigate this matter."

After hearing what Xie Zhiqiu said, Lin's mother became anxious and pointed at Xie Zhiqiu and cursed him.

"You are talking nonsense, you demon! It was you who killed my son and you are slandering me. Sir, you must make the decision for me."

After hearing what Lin's mother said, the city commander at the top turned pale.

Even if we know that this person is a demon, can we say it openly?

In Baisheng City, apart from the Holy Master and the Holy Son, no third person who knows Taoism is allowed to appear.

Except for the Holy Master and His Son, all others are demons.

If the evildoers' affairs were known to heaven, their Baisheng City would be destroyed.

"Come here, this man is spreading rumors and misleading people, slap him in the face twenty times."

Mother Lin begged for mercy loudly, "Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life."

He felt even more resentful in his heart, because it was the conservatism of these officials that allowed the Holy Master to act recklessly and indulge the evil, causing Baisheng City to fall into its current state.

When the city magistrate saw that Lin had calmed down, he sent a coroner to investigate when Lin Ming died.

After the coroner finished the examination, he reported: "Your Excellency, Lin Ming died at midnight the night before last, and was seriously injured three days ago..."

When Lin's mother heard this, she immediately brought Xie Zhiqiu in.

"Sir, it was this demon three days ago... This person went to my son's house, and the night watchman can testify to this."

Xie Zhiqiu ignored her, causing Lin's mother to mistakenly believe that this evil Taoist priest was unable to refute her, and she couldn't wait to convict her.

"Sir, this man has confessed. Quickly arrest this murderer."

The city magistrate was very dissatisfied with Lin's mother's behavior, but he still asked Xie Zhiqiu.

"Xie, do you have anything to say?"

"I would like to ask the coroner to continue explaining the real cause of Lin Ming's death." Xie Zhiqiu couldn't be anxious at all.

At the signal from the city commander, the coroner continued his statement, "Although the deceased was seriously injured three days ago, it was not the cause of death. The real cause of death was poisoning."

"This poison was mixed into the deceased's food two days ago. It is a slow-acting poison. He died at midnight that night."

"You have such a vicious heart that you actually poisoned my son to death." Mother Lin wanted to grab Xie Zhiqiu with a face full of resentment.

Xie Zhiqiu kicked her hand, and the things in her hand flew out immediately, and flew in the direction of the city commander.

The city commander looked at the needles flying towards him and was horrified. He had no time to run away and his eyes widened.

A few "thump, thump, thump" sounds.

The city commander looked at Xie Zhiqiu holding his gavel, which had more than a dozen needles on it.

Without waiting for the city commander to speak, Xie Zhiqiu spoke first: "How dare the Lin family openly attack the city commander? They deserve to be killed."

The city commander looked at Xie Zhiqiu speechlessly. She had said everything, so what else could he say?

And why did those needles fly towards him? Didn’t you think he didn’t know?

But Lin actually dared to commit the crime in front of him. Maybe he was tired of living.

"Someone, arrest Lin and investigate thoroughly."

Lin didn't expect this result. She didn't even get a chance to do anything to the evildoer and was even imprisoned by the city commander.

He was dragged away and kept shouting that it was unfair.

That night, Lin committed suicide by taking poison in prison. According to the coroner's report, he was poisoned by the same poison as Lin Ming.

Poison powder was also found on her body, and even the needle shot at the city commander was containing the same poison.

It was finally determined that Lin Ming’s death was caused by Lin’s mother, and the matter was closed.

In the back hall of the government office, Xie Zhiqiu was sitting at the lower table, staring at the city magistrate at the upper table, as if each was waiting for the other to speak first.

In the end, it was the city commander who spoke first, "Master Xie, I will expel you from the city."

Xie Zhiqiu did not refute immediately, but asked the reason.

"You should know what my relationship with the Holy Master is. I need a reasonable reason, otherwise I will not leave."

The city commander sighed helplessly and said, "Master Xie, others may not understand, but you still don't understand? Who does Lin belong to? Don't you know what she wants to do?"

"I know, but is that your reason for asking me to leave?"

Xie Zhiqiu looked like he didn't care at all, which gave the city commander an even bigger headache.

He could only continue to persuade earnestly: "Master Xie, as long as you leave, I will negotiate with the radicals and ask them to give up pushing the Saint Master to step down."

"City Commander, so you know what they want to do. Then you should know what the Saint Master will face after I leave."

That day, Lin Ming told himself that except for him, everyone in this city either wanted to push the Holy Master out of office or wanted to control him, and everyone had his own selfish desires.

He was the only one who wanted to protect the Holy Master, so she spared Lin Ming's life, wanting him to see if everyone in the city was as he said.

But he still didn't survive, and what's even more ridiculous is that he was killed by his own mother who drugged him.

The radicals really went to great lengths to pin the blame on her.

Xie Zhiqiu glanced at the city commander. Was he trying to use the Holy Master to control the "conservatives" in the city?

The Holy Master should be worshipped as a god by everyone, so why is he despised by the whole nation?

She clearly remembered that everyone who went in with Lin Ming that day was very respectful to the Holy Master.

Even though Yan Nan was unconscious, he did not show disrespect for her.

Seeing that the city commander said nothing, Xie Zhiqiu was not in a hurry and just waited.

After a long while, the city commander said to Xie Zhiqiu, "I can send someone to protect the safety of the Holy Master."

"As long as you help us successfully overthrow the radicals, you can come back at any time. I promise that there will be no more opponents in the city."

Xie Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows, stared at the city commander and said, "Lord City Commander, you know what I want."

After hearing what Xie Zhiqiu said, the city commander felt even more contempt for Xie Zhiqiu.

However, he still said, "By then, I will arrange an identity for Master Xie. After that, you can appear in the city openly."

Xie Zhiqiu did not agree immediately, but asked: "Is there anything wrong with my current identity?"

The city commander's expression changed instantly.

Then Xie Zhiqiu said, "City Commander, don't be so nervous. It was just a little joke."

Everyone in the city saw a man being escorted out of the city by officials.

The people on both sides of the road whispered, "What happened to this woman?"

"I heard that he violated the city regulations and was expelled from the city by the city magistrate."

"Being expelled from the city? That's so serious. Which city rule did he break?"

"You don't know this, right? This woman is the demon."

"Evil Taoist?" Obviously, the people who heard it didn't know what was going on.

He asked, "Apart from the Saint Master, are there any other evil Taoists in the city?"

"This is a long story..." the middle-aged man said in a deliberately profound tone.

"Then let's make a long story short."

"This person has a close relationship with the Saint Master."

"How profound can it be?"

"She is the Holy Master's lover..."

Xie Zhiqiu let the officers take her out of the city, but she did not miss a word of what the people said.

It seems that not everyone knows her?

And she even heard a different statement in the middle.

It is said that she is actually the Holy Son, otherwise she would not have been kept by the Holy Master for so many years.

It's just that the Holy Master is unwilling to step down, and she has no intention of succeeding to the throne, so it has been delayed.
