Chapter 172: The Hall of Experts is Full of Clouds
Zhang Qianyuan changed his tactics very quickly, and pressed his hands on the table, and then he landed back on the seat. The table that Xuanying pushed out landed on Xuanyouzhu table, and immediately the wine and soup splashed, making his face full of steamed buns.
The two attacks were so sudden and abrupt, one was fast in attack and the other was fast in dodging. The martial arts experts in the room couldn't help but cheer secretly, thinking that no matter which of the two, I can't attack faster than Zhang Qianyuan, nor can I dodge as quickly as Xuanying.
Zhang Qianyuan's original force had reached the fifth level, and he thought that there was no way Xuanying could avoid this attack. However, he did not expect that Xuanying made a countermeasure almost at the same time as his attack. He really did not know how he did it.
He suddenly thought of something and said coldly: "Hmph...Tian Guan!" He missed the first attack and did not attack again because he was proud of his status.
Chang Lun thought: "No wonder this young man was able to avoid my stab when fighting with Zhao Xiantong in the street a few days ago. He actually opened the 'Heavenly Observation'. With such a good talent and beautiful character, it would be great if he could become my disciple."
When others heard that this young boy actually possessed the "Heavenly Observation" ability that only one in a hundred thousand people can find after opening the Force, they were extremely shocked.
When Zhang Qianyuan was hitting Xuanying, Jin Lier shouted "Master Zhang, stop it." When he finished speaking, he had already fallen back into his seat. Then he said, "Whether Young Master Xuan was the first culprit of the rebellion, we can't just listen to Gao's one-sided statement. We also need to listen to what he has to say. Besides, my intention of inviting this man to the Jianxian Hall is not just to accuse him of a crime."
But Xuanying said coldly: "He is right, I am Xuanying, the chief culprit of the rebellion of the Jiaoshan Shengnu."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the Jianxian Hall. The Jiaoshan rebellion had caused a huge disturbance. Not only did the production of the black iron ore drop significantly, but there were also more and more voices against Jin Lier in Jinyang City. Moreover, the news of this incident had spread to other cities, which had greatly damaged the prestige of their Jin family.
Jin Lier had been deceived by him for so long, so she couldn't help but feel angry. After holding it in for a while, she finally said angrily: "You are so brave, why did you gather people to rebel?!"
Although Xuanying looked calm, he knew that he was in a very dangerous situation. In this small hall, there were not only the two spirits Tieyong and Zhuangren, but also Zhang Qianyuan, Chang Lun, Gong Shukang and You Ganzhan who were all masters of the Force. Huangwu Baoguan looked calm and composed, so he should be a man of real ability.
He couldn't even beat Chang Lun alone, and now he was outnumbered seven. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with even a single move from him, let alone escape.
However, the more dangerous the situation, the more his arrogance was aroused. Seeing Jin Lier's furious look, he was not afraid, and still said coldly: "I am a descendant of Xuannan Wu, how can I be a lowly slave of your Jinyang City?!"
Jin Lier said: "It's up to you if you don't want to be a slave. With such great abilities, you will be put to great use in Jinyang City. Why do you have to gather people to rebel and ruin my plans?!"
Xuan Ying thought, I only acquired this skill a few days ago, you won't believe it even if I tell you. He squinted at her and said nothing.
Gong Shukang said, "My lord, there is no point in talking to this boy. Let me take action and subdue him first."
Zhang Qianyuan also said: "According to the laws of Jinyang City, those who gather a crowd to rebel shall be sentenced to death."
Jin Li'er wanted to recruit Xuan Ying, but she was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was a handsome young man whom she admired very much. Such a person was hard to come by and was exactly what Yunying Palace needed. On the other hand, there were the laws of Jinyang City that were announced to the whole city. If she showed him leniency or dealt with him privately, not only would it be difficult to convince the public, but it would also be difficult to get past her elder brother and father, not to mention the Jindao Sect that was against her.
Chang Lun had long been thinking of cherishing Xuan Ying, and said, "According to what Gao said, there should be three main culprits. Brother Xuan is just one of them. If we follow the laws of Jincheng, he only needs to bear one-third of the responsibility, and his crime will not be punishable by death."
Zhang Qianyuan said: "Nonsense, Jinyang City does not have such laws!"
Sun Zicao said, "The city lord has recently issued a law that says 'accomplices share the guilt'. Since they share the guilt, we can't use the death penalty on everyone, right? Wouldn't that magnify the guilt several times just because there are a few people involved? That goes against the principles of our city."
Xuan Youzhu stroked his beard with a shaking hand and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Sun's words really resonate with me."
Jin Lier was secretly delighted, thinking that this grandson Cao was indeed a scholar, and he could always find faults between the lines. Even the laws of Jinyang City would be interpreted differently by him. It seemed that Xuanying was saved now.
The makeup artist said in a strange voice: "This is really absurd, how can such a thing happen in the world..." I don't know who she was talking about who was unreasonable.
Huang Wu Baoguan rarely spoke. At this moment, he stood up, cupped his hands and said to Jin Lier, "My lady, rules are dead, but people are alive. Whether or not to punish Brother Xuan depends entirely on his decision."
Jin Lier asked: "What do you mean?"
Huang Wu Baoguan said: "It's very simple. It depends on whether he is willing to enter our Yunying Palace. If he is willing, Mr. Sun can always cover up this matter with an idea. Even if the Golden Sword Sect still refuses to let him go, Brother Xuan can be allowed to make meritorious contributions while guilty, and naturally he can be spared the death penalty. Otherwise, it won't be too late to punish him according to the law."
Jin Lier said, "That's a good idea. Master Zhang, what do you think?" She said "it's a good idea" first, and naturally she agreed with Huang Wu Baoguan's idea. She asked Zhang Qianyuan just to respect his status. No matter what he said, she wanted to save Xuanying's life first.
Zhang Qianyuan did not understand her implication and continued, "The laws of our Jinyang City are in accordance with the will of God. How can you speculate on them? Capital punishment is capital punishment. There is no room for negotiation!"
Jin Lier thought that Zhang Qianyuan was always stubborn and she couldn't convince him at the moment. She could only discuss this matter later, and she had to wait until he was in a good mood. She looked at Gao Yijue and said, "Everyone, what should we do with this man?"
You Ganzhan shouted, "This guy is afraid of death and is not a good guy. Kill him with one sword!"
Jin Lier thought that although this man was not the main culprit, he led hundreds of people to escape to Bicheng, so he had some talent. If he could be spared, he might be of some use.
But when Gao Yijue heard that someone wanted to kill him, he was so scared that his legs started shaking. He said, "It's not that I'm greedy for life... I'm afraid of death. It's really... It's too unfair."
Jin Lier said: "How have I wronged you? Tell the truth."
Gao Yijue said, "My lord, I was originally a slave of Ding Ershe, a slave digger in Jiaoshan. I have always been honest and never had the intention of rebellion. After these people came, they spoke mysteriously every day..."
