Chapter 138 Climbing and biting
Jin Renfeng laughed a few times.
He turned around and said to the elders of the clans present,
"Those who came here today are all seniors from aristocratic families and masters of Taoism. I would like to ask you to judge for yourself. Is it a crime for a mining team leader to fail to catch a monster during a battle?"
"Which Dao League law stipulates that the mining team leader must catch monsters?"
"Could it be that if we can't catch the monster, we have to release it privately?"
"Even in the current Dao League, there is no one who is not a sinner!"
All the elders from the aristocratic families nodded.
Indeed, when fighting against monsters, there will always be failures.
Even the elders cannot guarantee that they can catch the monster.
Even if one is not an opponent of a monster, running away is normal, as long as it is not a strict order from the Taoist League and it is not a crime, the laws of the Taoist League cannot force people to die in vain.
"Although my son-in-law is the captain of the mining team, he is not proficient in Taoism, so it is normal that he cannot catch the monster."
Yang Yifang also spoke up.
"Even on the front lines of the battlefield, failure to capture monsters is common and cannot be considered a crime."
Jin Renfeng laughed loudly and said,
"Xiao Wancheng, look, all the elders said so, which shows that this is common sense!"
"Since the monster has not been caught, it cannot be counted as a crime. Xiao Wancheng, what right do you have to arrest people and cause trouble here?"
Xiao Wancheng shouted angrily,
"Jin Renfeng, don't make trouble here. The wooden man let go of the monster that came to steal the minerals. This is irrefutable evidence."
"Then why don't you produce evidence, Chief Prosecutor Xiao, to prove that this wooden man actually released the monster privately, rather than failing to catch it!"
Jin Renfeng retorted without any hesitation.
"Otherwise, without any evidence, how can you arrest someone?"
Xiao Wancheng's expression froze. What evidence did he have? If he had evidence, why would he need to use words to induce the wooden man to confess his guilt?
The deputy captain of the mining team was a fool. He only remembered to report it but did not leave any video records.
This time he came, he originally planned to scare the wooden man, and then take advantage of the other party's inappropriate words to arrest the person and make it an ironclad case.
But who would have thought that Jin Renfeng would make them lose the initiative because of his unreasonable demands.
"The cases that my supervisory office handles are all major cases that concern the safety of the Yiqi Dao League. We don't need evidence."
Xiao Wancheng shouted angrily.
"I see. No wonder Elder Xiao is so good at confusing right and wrong. It turns out he is used to doing this every day!"
Jin Renfeng chuckled. Xiao Wancheng had been caught by him by what he said.
Next, there is no need for him to say more.
"You don't need evidence to arrest someone! This is the first time I've heard of this."
"As expected of Xiao Wancheng, he can say such shameless words."
"I guess in the future we won't even need to accuse someone of a crime. We can just arrest them on trumped-up charges, and then we won't have to list all the charges."
Sarcasm was heard from time to time in the crowd.
Xiao Wancheng knew that he had said something wrong, but at this point he was already in a difficult situation.
Things have already gotten out of hand, and Mu Renzhi has to be taken away no matter what.
Otherwise, not only would the Supervisory Office lose face, but it would also be unable to explain to the Wang Quan family behind it.
So, he said,
"No matter what, if this wooden man commits a crime, my Xiao family will arrest him."
Jin Renfeng flicked his sleeves,
"Then I'll tell you straight out, it's impossible. If you don't have evidence today, don't even think about arresting anyone!"
Showing kindness does not lie in how much you do, but in whether you let others see it.
Just like Butler Fei, in the original timeline, he never took any action, but just said a few words.
However, just these few words were enough to earn the Yang family's gratitude.
Jin Renfeng also planned to imitate the Wang Quan family's ways of doing things.
The more generous and generous the words are, the more the Yang family will remember this kindness.
"Just you, kid?" Xiao Wancheng looked at Jin Renfeng with contempt.
"How about adding me?" an old voice sounded.
When things developed to this point, Yang Yifang no longer remained silent, but stood up directly.
"Yang Yifang?" Xiao Wancheng narrowed his eyes. "Are you also going to resist law enforcement?"
Having been against Yang Yifang for many years, he has already figured out this man's temper.
Based on past experience, as long as he follows the rules of the Taoist Alliance, Yang Yifang will not directly stop him.
But he didn't know that at this time Yang Yifang had already been reminded by Jin Renfeng and knew that the Xiao family's intention was to deal with the Yang family.
In this situation, he naturally couldn't just watch Xiao Wancheng make things difficult for his son-in-law.
Yang Yifang stepped forward, stood in front of the bride and groom, and shouted angrily,
"Xiao Wancheng! Today is my daughter's wedding day. You brought so many people to arrest my son-in-law for a trumped-up crime. I absolutely do not agree."
"I am making this known today. If you, Xiao Wancheng, don't produce evidence today, not to mention arresting people, all of you in the Supervisory Office will have to stay as guests in Yang's mansion."
"you--"
Xiao Wancheng's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Yang Yifang would not only directly resist the arrest, but also plan to attack them.
The people present did not expect Yang Yifang to make such an unexpected move, and they all looked shocked.
"If you want to fight, I will join you. Chief Prosecutor Xiao has repeatedly made things difficult for the disciples of Shenhuoshan Villa. I also want to test the Chief Prosecutor's skills."
Dongfang Gu Yue laughed and stepped forward.
Since the disciple has expressed his stance, he naturally cannot fall behind.
He had disliked Xiao Wancheng for a long time, and he took this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
When the head of the Li family saw the two men taking action, he also stood up and took out a golden rope magic weapon.
Seeing the three top family heads come forward, many noble families that the Xiao family had offended also stood up.
With the aristocratic families taking the lead, now is the time to add insult to injury.
The Xiao family is arrogant and domineering, and they always plot and frame others. It’s time for them to pay back their debts.
Thousands of disciples from aristocratic families gathered together, creating a truly grand scene.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, the inspectors broke out in cold sweat and took a step back.
Jin Renfeng showed a look of satisfaction. This time, the Xiao family had incurred public wrath.
With so many noble families offering support, the Yang family's issue was finally resolved.
Next, it depends on how Xiao Wancheng reacts.
Seeing that many Taoist families were showing hostility in their eyes, Xiao Wancheng panicked for the first time.
No matter how conceited he was, he didn't dare to deal with so many noble families at the same time.
"retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Wancheng prepared to escape.
He raised his whip and flew into the air.
But before he flew very high, Dongfang Gu Yue turned into a ray of golden light and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Wancheng.
The golden palm slapped down.
That palm carried pure yang fire, and it was so powerful that it seemed like a huge sun falling.
Xiao Wancheng quickly used the Soul-Calling Whip to resist, and the purple whip wrapped around his body and turned into a shield.
click-
In front of the golden palm, the long whip broke at the touch.
Then the palm hit Xiao Wancheng heavily on the chest.
Phew——
Xiao Wancheng vomited blood and fell heavily to the ground.
"father!"
Seeing their father seriously injured, Xiao Wancheng's two sons cried out in shock.
Seeing that Xiao Wancheng was restrained, more than a dozen inspectors drew their swords and prepared to provide support.
But at this moment, Yang Yifang waved his hands, and more than a dozen strands of magic power flew out.
The purple magic power was like a long snake, ready to hit the Inspector's wrist.
Suddenly, the long swords fell to the ground with a crackling sound. Jin Renfeng's eyes lit up. This move was somewhat similar to Dugu Jiujian's Qi-seeing method. Both were moves that directly attacked weaknesses and flaws.
Then the head of the Li family casually released a long rope of golden light.
The golden light kept moving through the crowd.
It enveloped everyone, and then the golden light suddenly tightened.
More than a dozen inspectors were tied up together.
Xiao Wancheng is weak and his subordinates are not very strong either.
Faced with the joint siege of two masters, he was defeated in just one encounter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Yang family surrounded the people from the Supervisory Office.
Xiao Wancheng struggled to get up. Until now, he couldn't believe that these three people actually dared to attack him.
After all, he was the chief officer of the Yiqidao League's Supervisory Office, responsible for supervising the major families and representing the face of the Yiqidao League and the authority of the leader. How dare these people attack him?
Nameless anger rose in his heart, and he roared madly,
"Rebellion, rebellion! You traitors, are you planning to rebel against the Dao Alliance?"
"Are you qualified to represent the Taoist Alliance?" Dongfang Guyue asked.
"I am the Chief Prosecutor of the Taoist Alliance. This arrest of criminals represents the Taoist Alliance and the righteous cause. Your attack on me is a heinous crime." Xiao Wancheng roared.
"Once I arrest you, I will report you to the leader and impeach you for confusing right and wrong and enforcing the law unfairly." Yang Yifang snorted coldly.
"With all of my noble families here, I don't believe you can keep your position as Attorney General."
Xiao Wancheng's face changed, he looked around, his mind racing.
He must not get stuck here.
He is the Chief Prosecutor of the Yiqidao League. If he is caught while enforcing the law, his reputation will surely be ruined.
Being impeached by so many aristocratic families, the Xiao family might not even be able to keep their position in the Supervisory Office that has been passed down from generation to generation.
And once his Xiao family shows signs of decline, those aristocratic families that they had offended before will rush over, devour their flesh and blood, and add insult to injury.
Faced with a group of aristocratic families, the Wang Quan family will not come forward to protect him.
By then, the situation of their Xiao family would be in danger.
As the head of the Xiao family, he could not tolerate his family falling into trouble.
Xiao Wancheng looked around, looking for a way to defeat the enemy.
"Why waste your time talking to this guy? Capture him first!"
Dongfang Gu Yue snorted coldly, then his body shook and appeared in front of Xiao Wancheng like a ghost.
He stretched out his hand and slapped it forward.
Xiao Wancheng was unable to dodge and was hit in the chest.
However, before he could step back, Dongfang Gu Yue's next palm had already arrived.
He swung his big hand down, hitting Xiao Wancheng's shoulder with a tremendous force.
The powerful force directly embedded it into the ground.
"You bully my disciple. These three palm strikes were earned for my disciple."
Dongfang Guyue said coldly.
Xiao Wancheng was lying on the ground, covered in mud and with tattered clothes, like a mongrel dog.
Seeing himself in such a miserable state, he immediately became furious.
Why?
After all, he is the head of a prominent family and the prosecutor of the Taoist Alliance. What qualifications does Dongfang Gu Yue have to humiliate him?
Rage burned out his sanity, Xiao Wancheng suddenly stood up and stabbed towards Dongfang Guyue's eyes with his right hand.
He wanted to use a sneak attack to blind the upstart.
Dongfang Guyue had a look of disdain on his face. He stretched out his palm and slapped Xiao Wancheng's hand away, then punched him in the chest.
boom--
A dull voice sounded.
Xiao Wancheng, who was already injured, was further injured by this punch.
He fell to his knees, and for a moment he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Dongfang Gu Yue stood in front of him with a proud look, as if accepting his kneeling worship.
Xiao Wancheng's face flushed.
Kneeling in front of his enemy in this posture, he was already filled with rage.
A sense of madness seized upon his mind.
Suddenly, he noticed the figure of Butler Fei standing aside.
As if he had found a life-saving straw, he shouted loudly,
"Butler Fei, you at least represent the Wangquan family and the leader of the alliance. Are you just going to watch the chief prosecutor of the Dao Alliance being humiliated?"
At the critical moment, Xiao Wancheng tried to ask the Wang Quan family for help.
When Xiao Wancheng called out his name, Butler Fei looked extremely unhappy.
In the original plan, Wang Quan's family would not be involved in the Xiao family's arrangements. All the dirty work would be handled by the Xiao family.
But now the Xiao family called out the Wang Quan family, which suddenly put the Wang Quan family into an unfavorable situation.
The original act of grace could not be used at this time.
"Xiao Wancheng, you enforce the law unfairly, so it is reasonable for you to be taught a lesson by Brother Yang and others. I think Brother Yang is upholding justice and will not do anything to you."
Butler Fei tried to cover himself up.
However, in order to protect his family, Xiao Wancheng has gone crazy at this time.
He asked frantically,
"Butler Fei, if your Wang Quan family doesn't protect the Dao League, aren't you afraid that the leader's authority will be lost?"
His tone was hurried and somewhat unpredictable.
Butler Fei's expression became increasingly ugly.
Xiao Wancheng was not seeking help at all, he was clearly threatening him.
Giving the head of the family a special reminder is to tell him that once he is caught, he will definitely reveal some secret things.
Because the Xiao family needs to be their dog, they know a lot about Wang Quan family's secret plans.
Once exposed, it would be a major blow to the reputation of the Wang Quan family.
Right now, Xiao Wancheng is using this as a basis to threaten him.
Jin Renfeng was very happy to hear Xiao Wancheng explain this.
Not only did the dog fail to do its job properly, it even bit its owner.
This play is getting better and better as it goes on.
Yang Yifang shouted,
"Xiao Wancheng, please stop making random accusations here."
"You act on your own, what does Guan Dao League leader have to do with it?"
Xiao Wancheng ignored what Yang Yifang said, but just stared at Butler Fei's every move with a determined look on his face.
Yang Yifang flew forward, ready to catch him.
But then a long sigh was heard.
A golden sword energy slashed out, stopping Yang Yifang's actions.
"What is this?" Yang Yifang stopped and his face changed drastically.
He turned his head and saw that Butler Fei, who had been watching from the sidelines, had already stood in front of Xiao Wancheng, protecting him behind him.
"Brother Fei! What are you doing?"
Yang Yifang was a little bit unbelievable.
The Taoist families were also shocked.
Why did the Wang Quan family protect the mad dog Xiao family?
"Brother Yang, don't blame me!" Butler Fei laughed bitterly, "This Xiao Wancheng is the Chief Prosecutor of the Dao League after all, and he represents the face of the Dao League."
"It's really too much to make him a prisoner."
