Chapter 412 I am also a big suspect!
In Yaowang Town.
A few wisps of green smoke rose up and gradually gathered into a clear figure with fluttering clothes and an immortal look.
Two heads crowded in front of the incense burner, as if they were competing to kowtow.
The figure was none other than Yu Qian'an, the abbot of Deyun Temple who had not been seen for many days.
The two people who rushed to burn incense to Yu Qi'an were his good disciple Du Lanke and his good friend Wang Longqi.
"What's the matter?" The old Taoist priest asked leisurely, "It seems that you only remembered me because something happened. You don't burn incense on normal days, but you hug me at this moment."
“Eh…” Wang Longqi seemed to have thought of some unbearable scene, and said quickly: “It’s already this late, let’s not talk about these heavy-tasting things.”
"What are you thinking about, kid?" the old Taoist priest scolded unhappily.
"If it's Miss Que'er in Wenrou or Miss Zuiyue in Taogu Tower, I can hug her feet." Wang Longqi replied: "At the very least, it has to be the beautiful feet of Miss Linxiang in Chunman Tower. As for your feet, Master Yu, forget it."
"Look at you, you are so ignorant, you think you have beautiful feet with some vulgar powder." The old Taoist shook his head and sneered, "If you have seen Mingqin Fairy from Xuanyue Pavilion or Baiyujing..."
"You two should stop being distracted." Dulanke quickly begged them: "Let's talk about business first?"
Otherwise, based on his understanding of these two old perverts, he would definitely be able to follow these girls all the way to the origin of human foot fetishism.
"You also know that you have to talk about business." The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at the two of them in annoyance.
"It's like this, Grandmaster, something terrible has happened." Dulanke said worriedly, "Master has been taken away by King Han's men. It is said that he will be taken back to Jixiang Mansion for interrogation."
"Why do you want to take him away?" asked the old Taoist priest.
"Because Li Chu touched the buttocks of the Ninth Lady of Prince Han's Mansion." Wang Longqi said with envy.
"oops!"
The old Taoist priest seemed extremely shocked when he heard this. He slapped his thigh, his eyes full of surprise.
When Du Lanke and Wang Longqi saw this, they thought it was a tricky matter and immediately became worried.
Unexpectedly, after being startled for a while, the old Taoist priest's eyes began to well up with tears. He couldn't help but cover his face with his sleeves and sob.
“Hmm…”
"Master Yu, that's not the case." Wang Longqi waved his hands and said, "Why are you still crying?"
"Yes, Master, even if it is proven that he molested a woman, the punishment will be severe, which only means a few dozen beatings and a few months in prison. There is no need to cry." Lao Du also comforted him.
"You know nothing!"
"I am crying with joy." The old Taoist sobbed and raised his head and said, "I have raised this apprentice since he was a child and taught him for more than ten years. His appearance, talent, cultivation, sense of justice... every aspect is like me..."
"..." The two were speechless for a moment.
"The only thing he won't understand is his feelings. I'm so anxious!" Yu Qian'an sighed like an old father, "Now it's good. My apprentice finally understands the good of women. He finally touches a woman's butt..."
“Master Yu…” Wang Longqi grinned and said, “Although you say so, molesting decent women… is not something worth promoting. You are so happy… it’s a bit of a violation of the rule of law.”
"That's right." Yu Qian'an nodded and said, "Then let him accept the punishment of the law. I will arrange a blind date for him when he comes back. Anyway, with my apprentice's conditions, the girls who like him will line up from Hangzhou Prefecture to the Western Regions."
“Master!” Du Lanke waved his hand and had to interrupt again, “The key is, this matter has not been confirmed yet! My master, he may have been wrongly accused, he did not molest any decent woman!”
"Ah?" Yu Qian'an was disappointed when he heard this. He was stunned for a while before sighing, "Then I am happy for nothing."
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Wang Longqi shook his head and sighed, “A child educated by a master like this will end up in jail when he grows up.”
"Ah..." Yu Qian'an was disappointed for a while before asking, "What's going on? Explain it to me clearly."
"That's it..."
Lao Du began to narrate: "Aren't we staying in Yaowang Town? There is also a ninth lady from the Hanwang Mansion, Miss Wenxiang. This Miss Wenxiang has always been a little strange..."
"When I was not able to do it, she tried to seduce me again and again. When I was able to do it, she tied me up and whipped me." Wang Longqi interrupted at the right time.
“Eh…” Yu Qian’an shook his head: “I didn’t expect you to be so fond of this.”
"I didn't do this voluntarily." Wang Longqi added.
"Alright, alright, we are all from the same social world, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." Yu Qian'an said, "I don't have much contact with people in your circle, but I have met a few big guys in the circle by chance over the years. I will introduce them to you later."
“It’s better if you meet by chance…” Wang Longqi said unhappily.
"Hey..." Seeing that the conversation between the two began to turn to vulgar and heavy tastes, Lao Du had to raise his hand again to interrupt, "Is there anyone who cares about my master's life or death?"
"Go on." Yu Qian'an's thoughts returned from the big guys in the circle to his good disciple.
"She had always wanted to get close to the Seventh Young Master, and just now, she came to our attic to look for my master. After talking to him, she went downstairs, and suddenly rushed out, shouting molest as she ran. It happened that Prince Han came to pick her up and saw the whole scene just as the carriage arrived in front of the attic. Prince Han was naturally furious, but with the two old doctors Changchun Sou and Xuanhu Weng standing up for my master's character, he didn't dare to do anything to him immediately. So he took him back to the prison in Jixiang Mansion and said he would interrogate and investigate carefully to find out the truth."
After Dulanke finished speaking, he came to a conclusion.
"I feel it's more like a honey trap, or she's unilaterally framing me. But Master has no grudge against her, I don't know why she would do this, is she going to destroy it if she can't get it?"
"In fact, with Li Chu's ability, those people can't do anything to him." Wang Longqi continued: "But this matter is not a joke. If he escapes by force, he will be hunted by the Han Palace in the future, and it will also be equivalent to proving that he has something to hide. If the news gets out, it will mean social death."
"If it was a deliberate frame-up, then it's a bit vicious." Yu Qian'an touched his chin. "It's not serious, but it can really ruin a person's reputation. If it's not resolved, the whole life will be tainted..."
"Yes." Lao Du nodded repeatedly.
"Are you sure that it wasn't Li Chu who did it?" Yu Qian'an asked finally.
"Master Yu, please don't push your own feelings into other people's shoes." Wang Longqi rolled his eyes.
"I believe in my master's character. He would never do such a thing." Dulanke said heavily.
"I trust Li Chu's appearance more. If he wants to do something, he doesn't need to do this." Wang Longqi also said.
"It sounds reasonable..." Yu Qian'an nodded and said, "If he is indeed innocent, then I will recommend someone to you. She should be able to prove this."
"oh?"
Both of their eyes lit up.
…
"Madam." In the Han Palace, the little maid Fangfang came closer and asked in a low voice: "Did that young Taoist really flirt with you?"
"Of course it's fake." Wen Xiang shook her head and frowned, "It's just an order from the mountain. I have no other choice but to deal with him like this."
"Ah..." Fangfang showed an expression of pity, "That little Taoist priest is so pitiful."
"Yeah, I feel so guilty too." Wen Xiang also looked reluctant.
Thinking of that handsome face being misunderstood because of her, she felt conflicted. "But I was able to survive because of the grace of Broken Monument Mountain since I was young. I swore to repay Broken Monument Mountain, so how could I go against it?"
"But why did the people on the mountain want to deal with the young Taoist priest?" Fangfang asked again: "He doesn't look like a bad person."
"According to the real contact person, it was he who prevented us from making contact, which led to the delay of the mission on the mountain," Wen Xiang explained.
"Is it possible..." Fangfang pouted, "The contact person is a bad guy?"
She had a simple mindset: the leaders of Broken Monument Mountain must be good people, and the young Taoist priest must not be a bad person.
By doing this process of elimination, the only possible culprit is the middleman who is bad.
"You little girl..." Wen Xiang smiled and said in agreement: "That makes a lot of sense!"
…
“Hahahaha!”
At this moment, the contact person Guan Xi also laughed wildly.
"No matter how high his cultivation level is, does he dare to break out of the cell? If he dares to escape, he will bear the name of a molester for the rest of his life."
"But if he doesn't escape, he will never be able to explain this matter. Even if this is not a serious crime, King Han will never let him go. As a last resort, he still has to escape from prison."
“I’m also going to find someone to spread the word about this.”
"When the time comes..."
"I just want him to die socially!"
"Well done." He Tu, the leader of Broken Monument Mountain, stood in front of him. "I just asked you to think of a way to deal with him. I didn't expect you to come up with such a wicked trick."
"It's all thanks to the commander's good teaching." Guanxi brother smiled flatteringly.
But this compliment didn't seem to make the other person happy.
The smile on He Tu's face disappeared instantly.
…
King Han Ji Bangying was also a little troubled about how to deal with this little Taoist priest.
According to the law, it would be nothing more than a few beatings, which would not hurt such a cultivator at all. But this young Taoist priest had some status after all. He heard from the two old doctors in Yaowang Town that he had just made great contributions and was rewarded by Chaoge. He would have to go to the palace to see the emperor in a while. If he shouted for fighting and killing easily, he would be at odds with the emperor.
But if I let him go like this, Wenxiang's butt...and my own face...would all be in tatters.
In fact, according to reason, if a cultivator breaks the law, he should be handed over to Chaotianque for punishment, and the punishment will be more severe. However, his relationship with Chaotianque has never been close, at most they don't interfere with each other. If he leaves it to them, they may not be able to make a decision that satisfies him.
Just when he was struggling, people from Chaotianque came to him on their own initiative.
And he is not an ordinary person.
A white-robed commander of Chaotianque stationed in Jixiang Mansion walked in with a female cultivator who was quite influential in the martial arts world.
"Your Highness Prince Han..." the white-robed commander introduced, "This is the famous 'slayer killer' in the martial arts world, Ling Feng. She knows that you are currently dealing with a case of a cultivator flirting with the ninth lady of the palace, so she came to help you."
"Master Lingfeng." King Han immediately greeted him.
This Ling Feng Zhenren was wearing a black robe. His age could not be seen clearly, but his facial features were regular. However, he gave people a very cold and old-fashioned feeling, without any aesthetic appeal. But when his eyes looked at him, that look made people unable to help but reflect on what unethical things they had done today.
Her name was also quite famous in the Heluo Dynasty.
In the past, cultivators used their magical powers to bully ordinary women, which was rampant despite repeated bans. In the final analysis, it was because cultivators had magical powers, which made it too easy for them to violate ordinary people, and it was difficult to find evidence of the crime.
Ling Feng Zhenren began to study various magical powers and instruments to target this type of crime several decades ago. Over the years, she has arrested at least 800 rapists, if not 1,000. Thanks to her efforts, the number of crimes committed by cultivators bullying ordinary women has dropped by 60%.
Two years ago, the Empress Dowager specially commended her at the Heluo celebration and awarded her a gold medal, which was a great honor.
Therefore, even generals, ministers and princes had to treat her with courtesy.
"After I learned about this incident, I came all the way here to help you." Ling Feng Zhenren said directly, "Please come to the court immediately. I have a way to confirm whether the Taoist priest flirted with Madam Nine."
"Then I will have to trouble you, sir." King Han thanked him.
Soon, the case was brought to court in the government office of Jixiang Prefecture. With the power of King Han in the North, it was just a matter of a word.
There were three people sitting in the hall, namely King Han, Chaotianque in white robe and Lingfeng Zhenren.
Then, Madam Nine and the young Taoist priest were brought up.
Li Chu still looked calm and composed, and obviously believed that those who are innocent will be cleared of all charges.
Miss Wenxiang, on the other hand, looked rather worried.
Somehow, this matter spread very quickly in Jixiang Mansion. Within half a day, the people in the streets and alleys knew that there was a handsome young Taoist priest named Li Chu from the south of the Yangtze River who was so bold as to flirt with the ninth wife of Prince Han's Mansion.
As a result, a large crowd of people quickly gathered in the hall to watch the trial.
At the front of the crowd was a young man in brocade clothes with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a black-faced Taoist priest.
Wang Longqi looked around the court, wondering, "How could Master Yu, with his character, have made friends with this lecherous villain of the Heluo Dynasty? Logically speaking, Master Lingfeng should have sentenced him to death by slicing the first time he saw him, right?"
"Ha." Lao Du sneered, "My master's ability in dealing with women is unparalleled!"
"Good fellow." Wang Longqi shook his head and said, "You are becoming more and more like Li Chu."
In court.
Ling Feng Zhenren asked indifferently: "Madam Jiu, is it true that you said that this little Taoist priest was frivolous to you?"
"Um... yes." Wen Xiang nodded softly.
"Little Taoist, do you plead guilty?" Ling Feng Zhenren asked Li Chu again.
"That's absolutely not the case." Li Chu said frankly.
"Okay..." Ling Feng Zhenren stood up, "I came here to prove this."
She slowly walked to Wen Xiang and said, "Madam Jiu, please turn around."
Wen Xiang heard her words and turned her back nervously.
Then Ling Feng Zhenren said loudly: "I will now use a magical power to reveal your body. Anyone who has touched your body within twelve hours will reveal traces. If he really flirted with you, he will definitely not be able to hide it."
After saying that, she held up a bottle of medicine powder and didn't sprinkle much. She just flicked her finger and a cluster of white powder evenly fell on Wen Xiang's buttocks, which were like a full moon.
Then he shouted again: "Xian!"
call out--
That layer of powder actually glowed in the daylight.
What’s even more amazing is that there is a part of it that does not show any fluorescence, and it is actually the mark of a slap!
"What?"
The people watching the trial in the hall were all in an uproar.
Who would have thought that this little Taoist priest, who looked like a decent human being, actually really did this?
King Han was also furious and stood up: "You Taoist priest, are you going to deny it again?"
Li Chu's expression remained calm, and he heard Ling Feng Zhenren say again: "Your Highness Prince Han, please be patient. We cannot be sure that it is the handprint of this little Taoist priest yet."
She turned her head and looked at Li Chu, saying, "Stretch out your hand and press it on this handprint."
"Huh?" Li Chu looked at her with a dark face.
"If you want to prove your innocence, just push it up." Master Ling Feng shouted.
Li Chu had no choice but to press his hand on it for just a moment and then left in a hurry.
I saw the layer of fluorescent powder flicker for a moment, and then dimmed, as usual.
Ling Feng Zhenren then said: "Your Highness Prince Han, this handprint... is not his."
"Ah?" King Han's face turned pale and he was confused for a moment: "Is there anyone else?"
At this time, Wang Longqi, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, raised his hand and shouted, "I admit that I also came from Yaowang Town, and I was also in that attic. I am also very suspicious! You must let me be tested too!"
"I am the master's apprentice, and I have always been inseparable from the master and the Seventh Young Master." Du Lanke, who had a dark face next to him, also raised his hand and said, "If they are suspected, then I cannot escape responsibility."
