If the news of the Qingcheng Sect spread out by the Cloud Sword Sect or the Sun Moon Sect, it would pose no threat to the Qingcheng Sect. After all, the orthodox sects would never believe the words of the Demonic Sect.
Therefore, Yun Jian wouldn't use such a method to solve the problems of the martial world.
Moreover, Yun Jian didn't care about a small Qingcheng Monastery. However, it was different now. Not only were there victims in the court, but there were also the leaders of the Emei Extermination Sect and several large sects in Shu. All of them were invited by the magistrate.
It was even said that Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Monastery had been summoned to court. At this time, many martial arts practitioners had gathered outside the magistrate's office, wanting to see Yu Canghai make a fool of himself.
"Ascension!"
Suddenly, a dignified voice sounded, followed by the word 'mighty'. Yun Jian and the others walked into the court.
There were seven or eight people in their forties or fifties behind Yun Jian's confession, but they looked like old men in their sixties or seventies.
On the other side, Yu Canghai was leading over thirty disciples of Green City. At this moment, everyone looked at Yun Jian as if he was the enemy who had killed his father.
They were people from the martial arts world and did not care about the local court. However, he had received invitations from the Emei Sect, the Tang Sect, the Qing City Shangqing Palace, and other famous sects in Shu. Moreover, it was in the court.
If there was nothing fishy about it, he would not believe it. And the greatest possibility was that it came from this person in front of him.
"Greetings, Milord!"
As one of the plaintiffs, Yun Jian, Yu Canghai, and the others bowed to the magistrate.
" How dare you! Why don't you kneel when you see me?'
Other than the people in the martial world, most of the commoners knelt down. However, Yun Jian, Yu Canghai, and the other disciples of the Green City all cupped their hands and bowed. Many of the bailiffs were also furious. Of course, they all looked at Yu Canghai.
Kneel down?
Hearing the magistrate's words, Yu Canghai's face instantly darkened. People in the martial arts world knelt to the heavens, knelt to their parents, but they rarely bowed to an official of the imperial court.
The Emei sects watching from the outside all had complicated expressions on their faces. After entering the court, they had to act according to the imperial court's methods.
At this moment, even they could not interfere. Of course, they had accepted Shen Chen's invitation. Otherwise, they would not have sent Qingcheng to court.
"That's right, could it be that Dojo Master Yu doesn't care about the laws of the imperial court? Hehehe, my lord, according to the law, shouldn't we be punished a hundred times?”
Yun Jian hadn't read the law in detail. After all, he had his own criminal law.
"That's right. Come on, drag these unruly people who are roaring in the court out and give them thirty strokes!”
Hearing the magistrate's words, the faces of the sect leaders changed. They did not expect the magistrate to really dare to hit Yu Canghai.
"Milord, Head Yu is a commoner in the pugilistic world and doesn't know the rules of the court. I hope Milord doesn't take offense.”
Extermination looked at Yu Canghai. They were both from the righteous path of the martial arts world. Even if their disciples had made mistakes, they still thought highly of Yu Canghai.
"Abbess, this…"
Now that Yu Canghai was the accused, the identity of Mistress Annihilation was different from his. Therefore, even the magistrate had a difficult expression.
"Milord, do you have any achievements for Yu Canghai? Or was he a Daoist conferred by the imperial court?”
"No!"
Hearing Yun Jian's words, the magistrate already knew what Yun Jian wanted to say.
"Since that's the case, Yu Canghai will have to follow the rules. Moreover, if he continues to be stubborn, his crime will increase."
"Yu Canghai greets my lord!"
The situation was stronger than the person. He bowed unwillingly, and the disciples of Green City did the same.
At this moment, they knew that if they did not kneel down, Yunjian might even say that they were plotting a rebellion.
"Get up!"
"Milord, why isn't he kneeling?"
He knelt down, but when he saw Yun Jian standing in the court for a long time, even the people in the martial arts world looked at the magistrate. They also knew Yun Jian's identity. However, since Yu Canghai had already knelt down, Yun Jian should not be an exception.
"Faction Head Yu, I have an official position and am also the plaintiff, so I naturally don't need to kneel down. A boorish man is a boorish man, so it's better for me to read the laws of the Ming Dynasty!”
"You…"
Yu Canghai's eyes were filled with killing intent after being ridiculed by Yun Jian.
He wasn't a fool, so he naturally understood that all of this was Yun Jian's scheme. After all, nothing had happened for so many years, but Yun Jian had done it the moment he arrived. Moreover, Yun Jian was the plaintiff, and those people behind Yun Jian were all centered around Yun Jian.
"Alright, let's open the hall now. Is that Yu Canghai from the Pine Wind Monastery on Qingcheng Mountain?”
"Yes, I am!"
Looking at Yu Canghai, the magistrate nodded. At the same time, he looked at the disciples behind Yu Canghai. These were all Yu Canghai's personal disciples and third-rate masters in the pugilistic world, including the Four Prodigies of Green City.
"Alright, do you know the person who sued me?”
"I do. This little bastard killed five of my Green City disciples.”
Yu Canghai naturally wouldn't be willing to be a fish on the chopping board, so he immediately told Yunjian.
Hearing Yu Canghai's words, everyone was stunned, especially the magistrate who looked at Yun Jian. Five lives, even everyone was moved.
"My lord, it was the disciples of the Green City who kidnapped the young lady, so I had no choice but to act. I have a witness, it's the eldest disciple of Huashan, Linghu Chong. He's right outside and can testify that it was the disciples of the Qingcheng Monastery who were about to kidnap them that day, so I made a move!”
Hearing Yun Jian's words, everyone's expression changed. They looked at Yu Canghai with ugly expressions.
Was this a righteous sect or an evil sect? The magistrate also looked outside and said,
" Hua Mountain disciple, Linghu Chong!"
Hearing the magistrate's words, Linghu Chong, who was watching the show from outside, walked out. At this moment, Linghu Chong regretted staying here to watch the show. After all, what he said was true. However, if his master knew that he was on the same side as Yun Jian, he would definitely skin him alive.
"Linghu Chong, is what Young Master Yun said true?”
Yu Canghai's eyes turned red as he looked at Linghu Chong. At this moment, he had already treated Linghu Chong as Yun Jian's accomplice. After all, he had framed him twice. No, the second time had not worked.
However, Ling Huchong still had enough reason to target him.
"Linghu Chong, be careful with your words.”
"Sir, someone is threatening my witness.”
"You!"
Yu Canghai looked at the disdainful Yun Jian and was instantly enraged.
"Milord, Young Master Yun is telling the truth.”
Although Yu Canghai threatened him, Linghu Chong knew what he should and shouldn't say.
"Milord, they are all in cahoots.”
"Hehehe, are you talking about the tea stall owner from that day?”
“····”
Hearing Yun Jian's words, Yu Canghai immediately fell silent. At this moment, everyone looked at Yun Jian's confident appearance, while Yu Canghai's expression was gloomy. How could he not know the truth of the matter?
"Pa!"
Yu Canghai's expression changed drastically as he looked at Yun Jian and Linghu Chong. If it wasn't for the fact that they were in public, he would have killed them already.
But now, the case was not over yet, and the Qingcheng Monastery had been charged with another crime.
"How dare you, Yu Canghai, connive at your disciple to plunder a young girl. However, there is still a case. Do you know the plaintiff and the person behind Yu Canghai?”
"Sir, I would recognize him even if he turned into ashes. He was the one who snatched my daughter away that day. My daughter died on the third day after she returned!”
"It's him…"
One by one, the plaintiffs pointed at the Qingcheng disciples they had met and told them about their family's encounter. In an instant, those five disciples were regarded as scum of the martial arts world in the eyes of the public.
Moreover, two of the five disciples were from the Four Prodigies of the Qingcheng Monastery. If they all died this time, the Qingcheng Monastery would definitely suffer a great loss.
" My lords, we've been wronged. It's all Yunjian's fault for colluding with these unruly people…"
"Shut up. You still dare to deny in front of irrefutable evidence. This residence has long known the crimes you have committed. There are also the Emei Annihilation Nun and the others who have witnessed it.”
"That's right, Temple Master Yu. I sent people to investigate three days ago. These disciples have committed many crimes, but they are the scum of the righteous path.”
This kind of thing was known privately in the past. Now that it was brought to court, even Yu Canghai was helpless. After all, he could cover up for her in private, but now…he couldn't make the decision.
Cover up?
Now that the magistrate had sentenced him, he was a criminal of the imperial court. Hiding him would be the same crime. Their entire Pine Breeze Monastery would be finished.
"Men, put them in prison and execute them in three days!”
"Yes, sir!"
What was that?
Hearing the magistrate's words, Yu Canghai and the disciples behind him were all stunned. They looked at the magistrate in disbelief.
"Thank you, sir, for helping me!"
After the verdict, compared to the dumbfounded Qingcheng, the people behind Yun Jian kowtowed to the magistrate.
"Sir?"
However, before Yu Canghai could finish his sentence, the magistrate shouted again,"
"Yu Canghai, a Taoist of Qingcheng Mountain, was not strict with his disciples. He was given fifty strokes of the cane in the hall to punish his disciples for their lax crimes.”
Hearing the magistrate's words, Yu Canghai almost burst out in anger. However, Yun Jian had already pressed down on Yu Canghai's shoulder with one hand and suppressed Yu Canghai's internal energy with the other.
Yu Canghai looked at Yun Jian in shock. She knew that Yun Jian's strength was not weak. After all, he could kill four of his disciples with one slash. How could he be a simple person?
However, he did not expect Yun Jian to be so powerful.
