Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 164: Verbal Argument (2)

Jin Lier continued, "When such people violated the laws of our Jinyang City, you, the Jindao Sect, ignored them. But now someone has eliminated harm for the people, and not only is he innocent, but he has also been rewarded. But you, Zhao Jinwei, have gone against the grain and raised a large army, insisting on catching the good guy who killed the bad guy. How can there be such a law in Jinyang City? How can there be such a principle in the world?!"

Zhao Xiantong was speechless, not knowing how to answer. After a long pause, he said, "My lord, it is the duty of the Jindao Sect to maintain order in Jinyang City. My subordinates are verifying the identities of the two people you mentioned. If they are really 'slave thieves' who captured innocent people and sold them as slaves, I will punish them severely. But that guy is suspected of murder, so we cannot let him go, and... and..."

Jin Lier interrupted him and said, "Why don't I help you say it again? That man also killed three people from the Chisha Country, right?"

Zhao Xiantong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but he calmed down immediately. He thought that since she already knew, there was nothing to deny, so he said, "My lady is right. It was that man who killed the three Chisha people."

"It turns out that the lives of the people of Chisha are more valuable than the lives of the people of Jinyang City. In the past, when the people of the city died, you, the Jindao Sect, did not make such a big fuss."

Jin Huapeng didn't care about the big and small things in Jinyang City, so Zhao Xiantong thought that his three children were incompetent playboys and looked down on them, so he rarely dealt with them. At this time, he saw that Jin Li'er's words were full of hidden meanings and she was really a very difficult woman to deal with.

Zhao Xiantong had no choice but to say, "My lord, you don't know that these three people from the Sand Country are from the Claw Tribe. I'm afraid they have some background. They died in our Jinyang City for no reason. Sooner or later, the news will spread to their Claw Tribe. If we don't give an explanation to the Claw Tribe, I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle the matter peacefully."

"It doesn't matter if he has a background. As long as he is not their Spirit King, I believe you, Zhao Jinwei, can handle it properly. Besides, don't you like to bring up the Venerable? Even if their Spirit King comes, you can ask the Venerable to come forward and you won't be afraid of him."

"Those three people from the Claw Tribe of the Sand Country came to our Jinyang City with a purpose..." Zhao Xiantong simply said it out.

"Really? I don't know. What is their purpose in coming to Jinyang City? Are they here for business or sightseeing?"

"We are still investigating this. Unfortunately, they were all killed by that man. And this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the young master's case hall."

"Master Jin is right. This matter of foreigners should not be handled by me, the Jing'an Hall. But it should be handled by my eldest brother, the Ci'an Hall. How about this, we go to my eldest brother and talk about this matter clearly. I will just sit aside and listen, and never interrupt. What do you think?"

Zhao Xiantong thought, "If her elder brother Jin Tiankai is involved in this matter, it will be a bigger commotion. If it ends up in front of the City Lord Jin, even Master will not be able to deal with it easily. Fortunately, some important items found on the bodies of the slain Claw Clan members have not been lost. Jin Li'er and the others probably don't know the purpose of their coming to Jinyang City. But the young man in black must be found no matter what, otherwise this matter will be difficult to handle."

So he said, "Young Master, I will give him an explanation after I find the black-clothed youth who assassinated the Claw Clan member of the Sand Country. There is no need to go there now."

Jin Lier said, "Since you don't want to go, then Lord Jin Wei please go back. I have something else to do in the evening, so I can't stay with you for long."

"My lord, killing foreigners may cause a dispute between our city and the Claw Clan of the Red Sand Nation. This matter is indeed too serious. If you send me away now, I will have to ask my senior brother to come again. If that doesn't work, I will have to ask Master to move away and let him come to your temple to ask for the person."

Jin Lier thought to herself, "Zhao Xiantong always uses the golden sword and black sword to suppress me. Am I really afraid of that?" She said, "You let the Venerable come forward for such a small matter. Aren't you afraid that he will punish you for your mediocrity and incompetence? Don't you want to be the Jinwei anymore?"

Zhao Xiantong said: "I, Zhao, am devoted to Jinyang City. It doesn't matter if I don't become the Jinwei."

Jin Lier sneered and said, "You are devoted to Jinyang City? I am afraid I am devoted to Jindao Sect."

"To serve the Golden Blade Sect is to serve the Golden Sun City. The two are the same. What the young master said makes sense."

Jin Lier said angrily: "How can a lowly sect like yours be compared with the hundreds of years old Jinyang City of my Jin family? You think too highly of yourself!"

Zhao Xiantong stood up again and said, "My lady, you can scold me, Zhao, for being incompetent or having selfish motives, that's fine. But if you want to insult the Golden Sword Sect, that would be insulting my master, which is absolutely unacceptable! I just want to ask one question, is that young man in black in my lady's hall?!"

Jin Lier thought that this Zhao guy would always bring out the golden sword and black sword, and it would be difficult to deal with him, so she simply said, "What if he's here, what if he's not here?"

Zhao Xiantong said, "Someone saw him being captured by Master Chang, how could he be gone?" He pointed at Chang Lun.

Jin Lier said: "Then why do you bother asking him if he is there or not? Why not just tell him that he is in my palace?"

"Since he is in the Little Lord's Palace, what will it take for you to hand him over?"

"That's what you think he is in my palace. I never said he was."

Zhao Xiantong was speechless again. After a while, he said, "Someone saw it with his own eyes and told me personally that the boy was captured by the people of Yunying Palace. Could he lie to me?"

Jin Li'er raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Are you saying that I am lying?!"

Zhao Xiantong was stunned and said quickly: "My lady, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. It's just... just..."

"Just what, what else does the disciple of the Sword Master dare not say?"

"That man would never kill three people from the Claw Tribe of the Sand Country for no reason. Maybe he knew some big secret! If the news leaks out, it will be very disadvantageous to our Jinyang City. We must not let him leave!" Zhao Xiantong could no longer bear it and blurted out the answer, but he immediately regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

Jin Lier's mind was racing with thoughts, and she thought that Xuanying's assassination of the Sha people was very strange. Although he might really have done it to avenge his family, the three people he killed were ordinary people with no special abilities. With such great abilities, how could his family be killed by ordinary people?

Besides, he should have stayed in Baijun City to kill the Sha people for revenge. It is closer to Chisha Country and there must be more Sha people there. Why did he travel thousands of miles to come to Jinyang City? Could it be that he really knows some big secret?

It seems that Zhao Xiantong let the secret slip just now because he was too anxious. Maybe he is the one who knows this big secret, but if you ask him directly, you will definitely not get the answer.
