Chapter 91: The Public Trial of the City Guard

When the next group escorted Su Aotian to the Chengwei Hall, Guo Daming and the old man Tu were also escorted together. Although Tong Fei already had a premonition, when he saw Wu Tianxiang's corpse with his own eyes, he was still filled with grief and anger, and at the same time, he was puzzled, and he didn't understand what kind of means Su Aotian had, not only killed Wu Tianxiang, but also killed Feng Muyun and others who went together. But if you want him to believe that Su Aotian killed all these people by virtue of his own cultivation, unless he saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe it. Now his mind is full of whether Su Aotian has any secrets, and when he is convicted, he has to be escorted back to a detailed interrogation, because he has lost two Jiedan monks in the door, if he doesn't get something back, it will be a big loss.

At this time, more and more people got the news, and they followed the group towards the Chengwei Hall, and some people poured into the Chengwei Hall from all directions. Although most of the monks knew in their hearts that this was Guiyimen's revenge, many people witnessed Tong Fei searching for the body in Su Aotian's courtyard, and at this moment, they all felt that Su Aotian was taken by Guiyimen, and this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

In front of the castle guard hall was a large square, which could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and at this time it was already occupied by monks who rushed from all directions to hear the news. At the end of the square is the city guard hall, originally the case and interrogation and other official duties were carried out in the hall, Liu Fangda first sent someone to send a message back, and when Su Aotian and others arrived, the city guard office had been arranged at the door of the hall, and dozens of chairs were placed after the public case, and the person who tried the case sat in the center, the right side was the representative of all parties, and the left side was the subject.

Liu Fangda escorted Su Aotian and the others all the way to the front of the public case, bowed down and saluted: "Elder of the Punishment Hall, the suspect Su Aotian and others have been brought, and 17 corpses have been found in the suspect's residence, please ask the elders to decide." "Sitting in the middle of the public case is Mu Xin, the elder of the city guard, who is in charge of the torture hall, responsible for punishment, and is responsible for interrogating and convicting those who violate the rules of the city. At this moment, his face sank like water, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Liu Zhi has worked hard, and go down to rest." Liu Fangda replied: "Obey." "Step aside and stand still.

Mu Xin asked: "The people below, but Su Aotian, the proprietor of the Qingxin Hall?" Su Aotian saw that this Mu Xin was a middle-aged man, his eyes were gloomy, and his cultivation was the appearance of the early stage of the Yudan, and at this time he put on a posture of a fair trial, and he knew that this was all for everyone to see, so he smiled and said: "Exactly." I wonder why I was summoned today?"

The onlookers couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that Su Aotian was still laughing freely at this time. Some people admired his courage, others ridiculed him for not knowing life or death, and some people thought that he was either a madman, or he was too arrogant, he didn't know the height of the sky, and he deserved to lose his life.

Mu Xin was also very angry, but it was not easy for the public to have a blatant attack, so he just sank his face and said: "Bold! Today, Feng Mushan, the head of the Feng family, sued you for burglary last night, and it happened that Elder Wu Tianxiang, who was returning to the door, was a guest in the Feng Mansion, and saw through your tricks, and took a righteous action, and chased you to the Qingxin Hall and lost his trace. Today, Liu Fangda, who is in charge of the jurisdiction, was ordered to search and arrest, and found the corpses of Elder Wu and others in your residence, and the evidence of the crime is all there, what do you say?"

When Su Aotian heard this, he knew that it was the Feng family who cooperated with the acting, and it was actually the head of the family who came this time, which showed that the Feng family already hated themselves to the core, and they had to kill him and then hurry up. He also knew that it was useless to say more, so he said bluntly: "This matter is pure nonsense, I was about to appeal to the city guard today, the Feng family colluded with one family, hid the body in my Qingxin Hall, and searched under the pretext of handling the case, found the body, and framed me." I ask the city guard to enforce the law impartially, punish the despicable people who planted false accusations, restore my innocence, and maintain justice. ”

Su Aotian actually sued on such an occasion, which exceeded everyone's expectations. Everyone felt that this Su Aotian was out of common sense, and every time it was unexpected, not only the monks who were watching felt incredible, but even Mu Xin was caught off guard and was speechless for a while.

Tong Fei was furious, originally he sat down in the position of Guimen after he came, at this time, listening to what Su Aotian said, he couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Su Aotian and shouted angrily: "Junior is full of nonsense! Do you think that with some little tricks, you can do it seamlessly and cover up the sin? The old man broke your ban with his own hands in your residence and found so many corpses, this matter has been seen by many fellow practitioners, do you dare to be cunning?"

Su Aotian was not in a hurry, looked at Mu Xin and said, "I don't know if the trial today is the city guard or the gate?"

Mu Xin was also annoyed in his heart, but how dare he attack Tong Fei, so he had to say to Su Aotian with a dark face: "Elder Tong is a witness in this case, and he personally searched for your incriminating evidence, and he pointed out that you are exactly what you should do in court, you just answer the inquiry, why is there so much nonsense? Now that the evidence is conclusive, can you admit your guilt?"

Su Aotian laughed and said: "Your city guard tried the case, and you didn't ask about it, and you convicted me when you came up, I see that the fairness and justice you flaunt, and give your fellow cultivators a fair and orderly, safe and secure environment, is just a blind eye, just to hear about it." There are many strange things about this matter, how can I, Su Aotian, a monk who has built a foundation and cultivated, sneak into such forces as the Feng family to commit theft? Since the theft was discovered, why didn't I be arrested on the spot, or rectify the Fa on the spot? This elder of the same sect happened to be a guest at the Feng family, and the supernatural monk in the middle stage of the Tang Dynasty actually allowed me to flee back to the Pure Heart Hall, and after chasing me unsuccessfully, I was killed instead? Do you believe these things? Do you believe all the fellow Taoists who are listening? If we don't find out these many suspicious points, we will rush to punish my crimes, where is the reason, where is the city rules, and where is the justice?"

The onlookers were silent. While most people know that these are just excuses to be a weaver, who would dare to come out and say they don't believe it. It's just that many people are also puzzled by Wu Tianxiang's death, and most of them want to see what can be asked from Su Aotian's mouth, such as how he killed Wu Tianxiang. Many people think the same as Tong Fei, Su Aotian must have a heavy treasure on his body, even if he can't get it, it's good to see it.

Mu Xin was furious. Originally, this posture was put on in order to set an example for the monks on the sidelines, and let them know that the top forces were the ones who spoke in this Xuanwu City, and their dignity was inviolable, and if they had no strength or power, they would have to be a monk with their tails between their legs, and not try to turn the sky upside down. Now this Su Aotian, oil and salt do not enter, tricky and difficult, seeing that there are many bystanders in today's public trial, he actually wants to fan the flames and arouse public anger. If he is allowed to mess around, it will be difficult to clean up the scene, so he plans to solve it quickly, and said: "Su Aotian! Now that the human and material evidence is complete, it is useless for you to be cunning. You have violated the rules of the city, burglarized, killed people to silence your mouth, and not killing you is not enough to calm the public anger and set an example. I will sentence you to death today, and I will carry it out immediately!" reached out and took out a red skewer and threw it on the ground. Liu Fangda promised and waited to pick it up.

Su Aotian shouted: "Wait! I still have to appeal." Mu Xin sneered: "If you don't let you appeal, it won't show the fairness of my city guard." I'd like to see what else you can say now, now that the evidence is overwhelming. Say!"

Su Aotian said: "If I am the murderer, then why don't I destroy the corpses and destroy the traces, but keep these corpses?" Mu Xin said: "This is your own business, it has nothing to do with this case, if your appeal is only these, then there is no need to continue." At this time, Tong Fei suddenly said: "Elder Mu, according to my guess, this matter is not that he doesn't want to destroy the corpse, but because the city guards acted quickly, he didn't have time. When I found these bodies, some of them were still warm, and it was clear that they had just died. After saying that, he glared at Su Aotian fiercely.

Su Aotian said again: "Even if he has just died, why does it take much time to destroy the corpse? Then let me ask again, since I want to cover up the evidence, why don't I do it secretly, but it will be discovered by others?" The Tong Fei interjected again: "Elder Mu, it's not that this murderer doesn't want to cover it up, he has painstakingly laid down the prohibition, which can be said to be not strict. However, the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, his cultivation is insufficient, and the prohibition he laid down thinks he is clever, but in fact, I can see through it at a glance. ”

Mu Xin nodded and said, "Elder Tong is as wise as a torch, so that this murderer's cunning can not be hidden. Su Aotian, all your quibbles have been exposed, what else do you have to say?"

Su Aotian suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and only said after a while: "The prohibition I painstakingly laid down was seen through by you Elder Tong at a glance? Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Mu Xin said: "Su Aotian, you don't want to talk nonsense, if you don't have evidence, this seat will send someone to enforce the law!" Su Aotian turned to Elder Tong and said, "Although I, Su Aotian, am not talented, but I have a little experience in the prohibition technique." Elder Tong, it's not that I underestimate you, the ban that I Su Aotian laid down, just rely on you, Elder Tong, can also break it? In this way, I will make a bet with you, I will arrange a ban on the spot, if you Elder Tong can break it on the spot, then you don't need to do it, I, Su Aotian, will judge myself on the spot. But if you can't crack it, what can you say?"

Tong Fei heard that Su Aotian despised him so much in the public, and he was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped violently, and he couldn't wait to immediately shoot Su Aotian to death on the spot, and almost roared at the moment and said: "You ignorant junior really deserve to die! Just by virtue of your three-legged cat style, you are also worthy of the ban? Your bullshit ban has been seen through by the old man at a glance, and you are still here to shamelessly make nonsense! Today, even if you have a lotus tongue, you can't escape the fate of dying against your life!"
