Chapter 651: Golden Knife and Black Sword Kill Chang Lun (Part )
As soon as Jin Li'er saw Chang Lun when she entered the room, she felt a little uneasy. By now she had almost guessed it - the golden knife and black sword were going to attack her Yunying Palace!
But she pretended not to know and said, "I find it a little strange that you tied him up outside. Hasn't he been locked up in the prison of Tiankun Castle these days? Why did you let him out?"
Zhao Xiantong said: "My lord, more than half a month ago, the evil spirits of the Chisha country broke into our city, causing the people to be very uneasy..."
Jin Lier shook her hand to interrupt him and said, "The evil spirit of Chisha Country broke through several checkpoints. That's your Jindao Sect's problem. What does it have to do with my Yunying Palace?"
Zhao Xiantong said, "My lord, you are right. The evil spirits of the Red Sand Nation have broken into Jinyang City. We at the Golden Sword Sect do have a problem. Therefore, General Xuan has ordered the copper officers guarding the Ten-hole Bridge and the South Gate, as well as several soldiers on duty, to be killed according to the law."
Jin Lier was shocked, thinking that the two evil spirits who sneaked into Jinyang City might not have gone through the Ten-Arch Bridge and the South Gate. The Jindao Gate actually killed the bronze captain and soldiers guarding the bridge, obviously to shut themselves up. They came prepared.
She couldn't help but start to get nervous, something she had never felt before.
Seeing that Jin Lier didn't say anything, Zhao Xiantong continued, "The evil spirit of the Red Sand Nation entered our Jinyang City, not only causing unrest among the people, but also causing you to be seriously injured. If it weren't for the gods protecting you, Master Zhang, the Palace Master Huangwu and I would have died."
When Zhang Qianyuan heard him say this, he lowered his head in shame, and his old face turned red to purple.
Jin Lier said coldly: "Huang Wu Baoguan is no longer a member of my Yunying Palace, and naturally he is no longer the head of the palace."
Huang Wu Baoguan's face flushed, but he said nothing.
Zhao Xiantong continued, "We were not good enough at guarding, so General Xuan fined us half a year's salary according to the law, and no one has any complaints. However... the young master was seriously injured, and the person who was most negligent was Master Chang Lun! He has been imprisoned in the prison of Tiankun Castle. We were afraid that the young master had forgotten about this, so we dragged him out today and convicted him according to the law. We must not let this go and let outsiders laugh at our Golden Sword Sect."
Zhang Qianyuan couldn't help but say, "Chang Lun was the young master's personal bodyguard, but he was bullied by the evil spirit and didn't realize it. He must be severely punished for such dereliction of duty!"
Jin Lier said: "That evil spirit was able to hide under everyone's noses, making it difficult for anyone to detect it. This incident cannot be blamed entirely on Master Chang..."
Golden Blade and Black Sword raised their hands to stop Zhao Xiantong from speaking, and said in a loud voice, "Li'er, you are the head of the Jing'an Hall, and the master of the Yunying Hall. You are the Emerald Goddess who was obtained by the city lord through the Luanling. Your status is so important! Chang Lun is your personal bodyguard, and he was unaware of the evil spirit approaching. Who else can we blame if not him?!"
After Jin Lier knew that she was in trouble, even her father Jin Huapeng was furious. It was he who ordered Chang Lun to be thrown into jail.
Although Chang Lun was not the top expert, he could not think of anyone better than him in Jinyang City except Jindao Heijian, Xuanying and Zhang Qianyuan. He was one of the best experts in Yunying Palace. She had originally wanted to cover up the matter after she recovered and let him work in Yunying Palace, but she did not expect that Jindao Heijian did not want to let him go.
She thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency is right. In that case, let's confiscate his salary for one year. No, confiscate it for two years!"
Golden Blade and Black Sword snorted and said nothing.
Zhao Xiantong said hurriedly: "My lady, I think this kind of punishment is too light and I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public."
Jin Lier frowned and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Xuan Ying said coldly: "Failure to protect the master is the same as betrayal. According to the laws of our city, you should be beheaded!"
Jin Lier's heart skipped a beat. She had never thought that the Golden Blade and Black Sword would mobilize so many troops to get rid of Chang Lun! But she remained calm on the surface and said, "Failure to protect the master is failure to protect the master. The laws of Jinyang City do not have any provisions equivalent to treason."
I thought that although there are more than 20 capable people in Yunying Hall, there are only five people who have reached the fourth level of force or are close to the fourth level. Now Gong Shukang was stabbed by the evil spirit with the spiritual light dagger. It may take half a year or even a year to recover. Huangwu Baoguan has defected from Yunying Hall and worshipped Jindao Heijian as his master. If Chang Lun is killed again, three of the five masters will be gone, and Yunying Hall will be greatly constrained in the future. I must try to save Chang Lun now, otherwise the power I have carefully cultivated will be destroyed.
Xuanying asked: "If failure to protect the master does not warrant the death penalty, then what crime can warrant it?"
Jin Li'er answered without hesitation: "Collaborating with the enemy, murdering people, practicing witchcraft, rebelling and running away... that's about it."
Xuanying nodded and said, "That's good." Then he shouted, "Come here, take Chang Lun to the East Market Gate and behead him for public display!"
Jin Lier raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "General Xuan, which capital crime did Master Chang commit that you want to behead him and display his head to the public?!"
At Xuanying's signal, Zhao Xiantong immediately stepped forward and took out a letter from his arms. On the cover of the letter were written "Personally from General Biye" in Chang Lun's handwriting.
Zhao Xiantong said: "Chang Lun colluded with the enemy and betrayed the city. This is clear evidence."
Jin Lier argued: "How can he be considered treasonous to the city if he communicated with General Bi Ye?!"
Golden Blade and Black Sword said, "It might not have been considered treason eight or nine days ago, but it is now."
Only then did Jin Lier realize that the people from the Golden Sword Sect had already made careful arrangements to kill Chang Lun, and she could not stop them no matter what.
She looked at Zhang Qianyuan. Zhang Qianyuan was proud of his superiority in martial arts over Chang Lun, but he did not have much trust from Jin Li'er, so he had always been dissatisfied with him, and the killing of Chang Lun by the Golden Blade Sect was just what he wanted. Seeing Jin Li'er's eyes looking at her, she simply pretended not to see it, staring at the ground with a sullen face.
Jin Lier looked at Huang Wu Baoguan again.
Huang Wu Baoguan had a good relationship with Chang Lun in Yunying Palace, but for some reason he suddenly rebelled against Yunying Palace and became the disciple of Jin Dao Hei Jian. It was even more impossible to ask him to speak for him.
She finally looked at her eldest brother Jin Tiankai. Unexpectedly, Jin Tiankai said, "Little sister, Chang Lun, as your personal bodyguard, almost killed you. Such an incompetent person deserves death!"
Right now the Red Soldiers are almost at the doorstep, but the Golden Swords and Black Sabers are still trying to undermine the strength of their city-state. How foolish!
But what could a little girl like her do? Jin Lier could only sigh in pain.
