After Jin Ling sent Yingxue away, he walked back from the road outside Fairy Village. Before he reached the gate at the entrance of Fairy Village, four people who looked like guards from the village chief's mansion came towards him and said to him, "Jin Ling?"

"it's me."

One of the guards unfolded a document: "We are the guards of the execution hall of the village head's mansion. Someone is beating drums in front of the mansion to complain, accusing you and the Gu family of bullying the market, using force and coercion to force the Fang family to sell their craftsmanship shop at a low price, and without permission."

You are not far away from home. The village owner asked us to take you there for questioning."

"Force the Fang family to sell their craft shop at a low price?" Jin Ling laughed as if he had heard a big joke, "Brothers, your village chief's office must have made a mistake. Who in the entire fairy village doesn't know that?

The Fang family fought with me twice. Once, I set up a stall on the roadside and they came to extort money. The other time, the entire Fang family plus some brothers-in-law and brother-in-law came to the door with open fire. To deal with them, if I fight back, does it mean that I am bullying the market?

Is it considered coercion to demand compensation from them after we were injured?"

"It's useless for you to tell us these words. Go back and talk to the village owner and the master of the punishment hall!" the guards said coldly.

"What if I don't go?" Jin Ling's face dropped. The matter was clear. Song Zhenyu took office as a new official, and he wanted to eliminate this thorn in his side and also take the opportunity to establish his authority in the entire fairy village.

"Boy, think about it." A guard said, "The village chief's palace is just calling you for questioning. Whether you are guilty or not is another matter. You also need to go to court to examine the testimony and evidence of all parties. But in the face of the accusation, you insist on not

If you go, you will be contemptuous of the governance of the village chief's government. As the government in charge of the world of cultivating immortals, based on this alone, you can be convicted and imprisoned for a year and a half."

"That's right." Another guard said in support.

Jin Ling thought for a while. If it was just a question, then if he explained the matter clearly in front of Song Zhenyu, and with the village owner Feng Yuandao's promise to his personal safety first, the trip should not take too long.

"Okay, then I will go with you and explain the matter clearly."

...

There was a scuffle in Caoyuan Juli.

Luo Ying went to the medicine hall, and together with Yang Xuan, she had been studying with Pu Xin, the immortal medicine master. She was usually not here in the courtyard. Yang Lisheng rarely stayed in Caoyuanju, and was always running around outside. This time too

outside.

Therefore, Yang Lizuan hurriedly arrived with only three teenagers, Tang Xiaoyu, Liu Kui and Guo Yugang. Seeing that most of the tables and chairs in the store had been smashed, the four of them rushed up with red eyes and brandished weapons.

"Four little kids!" the leader of the big man cursed disdainfully, and kicked the only intact table to pieces. "Before that kid comes back, beat them to death!" He took the other three people with him.

He went to welcome him.

Four versus four started fighting in the small store, and the floor was littered with broken tables and chairs, dishes, bowls, spoons, chopsticks, and all kinds of dishes and soups, and everyone couldn't do anything about it.

Li Jijin and some of the waiters hid in the inner room, looking out worriedly.

Outside the store, there are diners who have not yet left and many passers-by watching the excitement. It is very close to the village chief's palace, and so far, no one has come to calm the trouble.

Suddenly, Guo Yugang groaned, and was directly hit on the shoulder by the big man opposite him, and he immediately fell down. The big man laughed ferociously, stepped forward and kicked him repeatedly, and with each kick, the young man let out a

A scream.

"Xiao Gang!" Tang Xiaoyu is the leader of these four children and the oldest among them. He has always protected them as younger brothers and sisters. When he sees something urgent, he must rescue them.

However, the big man opposite him showed no mercy and kicked him directly in the back of his heart, knocking him against the wall.

"Bullying a few kids is nothing!" Yang Li scolded. With all his strength, he waved the short ax in his hand and forced the leading man on the opposite side away. The opponent had never used a weapon, but when he saw the ferocity of his approach, he sheathed the sword from behind.

He pulled out a fine iron sword from his pocket and slashed at him with a roar.

In this situation, Yang Lizuan had no choice but to turn around and save himself, and Tang Xiaoyu couldn't care less.

...

Following the four guards, he entered the village chief's mansion, walked for a while, and arrived at the lobby of the execution hall.

The execution hall is the place responsible for criminal trials in the village lord's mansion. If any of his subordinate immortals commit crimes, they will be tried here. The main places are the hall responsible for public trials and a prison at the back.

There was no one else in the lobby, not even the Fang family members, nor the current village head Song Zhenyu.

"Didn't you say that the Fang family is here to accuse me of bullying and threatening them with force? Since there is a confrontation, as the victims, where are they?" Jin Ling asked.

"If they can't find you, are they just waiting here?" A guard rolled his eyes, "Of course they went to find a place to rest. Wait, I'll find them!"

The two guards left, leaving two people watching.

There was something strange about this matter. Jin Ling felt a little uneasy.

"Brother, who is your new execution hall master? Find him first and let me ask what's going on?" He said to one of the guards.

The guard said nothing.

"Isn't it still Village Leader Song? When he was the deputy village leader, he was also the head of the execution hall. Could it be that now that he is the village leader, he has not let go of this position?" Jin Ling asked again.

"Stop talking so much!" the guard said impatiently, "What can I do if I tell you? Song Ning, the eldest son of Song, is now our Hall of Punishment Master! Aren't you capable? Didn't you once fight

Have you ever hurt him? Wait a minute and see how he deals with you!"

Jin Ling's heart dropped.

Song Ning, who is not yet eighteen years old, has become the head of the execution hall of Xiancun?

Just because he is Song Zhenyu's son?

Your sister!

...

When Gu Jia, Yang Xuan and Luo Ying rushed to Caoyuanju, they were shocked by the tragic situation here.

The entire store was smashed inside and out. The signboard was broken into seven or eight pieces and was trampled into a pool of blood. The floor was full of broken objects and dishes. Thirty or forty wine jars in stock were smashed.

In the back kitchen, wine flowed all over the floor, and the aroma of wine wafted everywhere.

Yang Lizuan, Tang Xiaoyu, Huo Bao, Du Ermao and others fell to the ground, covered in blood, and kept screaming in pain. Everyone was seriously injured, not only the sword wounds on their bodies, but also internal injuries.

Broken hands and feet...

The four big men who caused the accident have fled from the place where they wreaked havoc and are nowhere to be found.

Not caring about anything else, Yang Xuan and Luo Ying quickly ordered the mortal guys to save people.

Gu Jia's face was full of anger. As soon as he heard the news, he rushed over in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the other party was prepared and he acted quickly and fled the scene. As for who sent the other party, you will know with your butt.

"Where is that brat Jin Ling? Where did he go? Such a big thing happened in the store, why is he nowhere to be seen?" Gu Jia asked Li Jijin.

"After dinner, why don't you go out to give Miss Yingxue a gift?" Li Jijin rolled his eyes. The veins on his neck were pulsing. He couldn't help but want to take action several times, but in the end he endured it. Those big men took action.

Although it was heavy, it didn't risk the lives of several young people. He couldn't be exposed like this.

"It's time to come back then!" Gu Jia jumped anxiously, "What do the guards of the Village Lord's Mansion do for food? Such a big thing happened, but they didn't hear anything!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the guards from the Village Lord's Mansion arrived, and four people walked directly towards him, "You must be Gu Jia."

"I am, you guys are here, you see this store was smashed, go quickly..." Gu Jia quickly pointed to the store and said.

The four guards didn't even look at him, but just said to him: "We are the guards of the execution hall of the village chief's palace, and we don't care about these things. Now it's someone from the Fang family who is accusing you and Jin Ling of injuring them with force and forcing them to sell them at a low price."

Their craftsmen built their own shops, and they were told to stay away from their homeland and not be allowed to return home. Now, the Master of the Hall of Punishment asked us to take you there for questioning."
