Chapter 483: Destiny Pavilion Appears
Behind Xiao Zirui were several children of officials. Yun Qingqing recognized one of them. He was Chen Rong, who had a grudge against Ye Zhishen.
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows as she looked at the two groups of people in confrontation.
There was a woman with a mean face among the common people, who was shouting in a shrill voice:
"This Tianming Pavilion is simply a place of fraud! My husband was killed by the talisman I got from here! I will seek justice no matter what I say today. This is under the Emperor's feet, the Imperial City, and I don't believe there is no law here!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks beside her also stood up and said:
"That's right! We, the common people, once came here because of its reputation, hoping to seek help from Tianming Pavilion, but the Pavilion Master not only swindled our money, but also ruined my family! Today, I will do whatever it takes to make the Pavilion Master come out and go to see the officials with me!"
Someone else stood up and shouted:
"That's right, get out of the way! We're seeking justice, what does it have to do with you? Or are you and Tianming Pavilion in cahoots? If so, we have to take you both to the authorities!"
The small group of people were filled with indignation, and they all started clamoring for the Pavilion Master to come out and see the official.
But Xiao Zirui listened for a long time with a gloomy face, and suddenly shouted:
"Shut up, everyone!"
He used his inner strength to make this voice, which made everyone's ears buzz. They immediately shut their mouths and the scene fell silent.
Xiao Zirui spoke righteously:
"Nonsense! The master of Tianming Pavilion is highly respected and has profound Taoism. That is well known. You unruly people want to slander Tianming Pavilion with just your mouth. Do you have any evidence?"
The man with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks took the lead and shouted:
"What evidence? We are the evidence! If we were not defrauded of our money and property and our families were ruined, and everyone was living a good life, who would come to cause trouble?"
Someone behind him immediately shouted:
"That's right! Everyone knows that Tianming Pavilion has a background in the Imperial Capital. Unless they have harmed us too badly, who would deliberately come to cause trouble?"
"We, the common people at the bottom of society, just want justice! Let's let everyone present here judge today. The Pavilion Master didn't even dare to come out to see us. Can't you see who is right and who is wrong?"
"What right do you have to stop us? Does this have anything to do with you? Let the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion come out and give us an explanation! Otherwise, this will not end today!"
Two guards suddenly rushed out from behind Xiao Zirui, pulled out their swords, and shouted:
"Being impudent, do you know who you are talking to?"
The men flinched in surprise, but soon one of them shouted:
"I can see that this gentleman is of a distinguished status, but so what! Just because you have power and influence, you can't tell right from wrong, turn black into white, and help the tyrant to commit atrocities!"
"Are you planning to use your power to oppress ordinary people like us and cover up the crimes of the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion?"
The leading guard glared at him, waved his hand, and ordered his guards to arrest these people.
Those people were angry and afraid, but they refused to back down no matter what, and were about to fight with the guards.
Xiao Zirui suddenly shouted coldly:
"Stop! Everyone, get back off!"
The guards paused and retreated.
Xiao Zirui glanced at the crowd of people coldly and said in a cold voice:
"Of course I won't use my power to oppress the people, but I can't let you slander the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion!"
He pointed behind him and said:
"The people behind me have all received favors from Tianming Pavilion! They are witnesses! They are enough to prove that the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion is not what you say!"
Xiao Zirui did not reveal his identity directly. After all, he still had two cases involved in his case that were being investigated strictly in the Dali Temple.
Besides, he is actually still under house arrest. If the emperor had not been in a coma these days, he would not dare to make such a big fuss.
Xiao Zirui really can't wait any longer. His status as crown prince has been stripped, and the two cases are also very uncertain. His only hope now is the leader of Tianming Pavilion.
He firmly believed that as long as he met the Pavilion Master and persuaded her to help, all the current difficulties would not be a problem.
Xiao Zirui did not let the guards arrest anyone. Instead, he argued with those people with an attitude of trying to convince them with reason.
Those people refused to give in, but they didn't do anything extreme. They just kept arguing, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Changheng looked at the indifferent Yun Qingqing:
"Just let them make a scene here?"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips coldly:
"Why rush? If they want to sing, let them sing first."
As soon as the voice fell, a breeze blew in the carriage, and the seat next to Yun Qingqing flashed with green light. Zhiluo appeared and looked at her with a smile:
"Qingqing, you're finally back. It seems that the bastard Prince Rui has lost his position as the crown prince and is being investigated for two cases. He is desperate!"
Yun Qingqing raised his chin outside the carriage and looked at Zhiluo:
"Did he recruit both groups of people?"
Zhiluo sneered:
"Who said it wasn't? It's obvious that they used those ordinary people who were deliberately stirring up trouble to lure out the so-called Pavilion Master. It's probably because you haven't shown up for too long and he can't wait any longer."
"That bastard is pretending to protect Tianming Pavilion so as to leave a good impression on the Pavilion Master!"
"Those people behind him who are said to have been blessed by God are all talking nonsense. They are just his own cronies!"
"He is so stupid and evil, what a shame!"
Having said that, Zhiluo looked at Yun Qingqing with a smile:
"The stage has been set up here, what are you going to do with him?"
Yun Qingqing curled her lips coldly, raised her hand and a tiny golden light shone on the sign of Tianming Pavilion. A ripple spread in the air. The Tianming Pavilion, which was originally invisible to ordinary people, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, causing bursts of exclamations.
"The Destiny Pavilion has appeared!"
"This... this is really the Destiny Pavilion! I never thought I would be able to see the Destiny Pavilion in person in my lifetime!"
"What a miracle! That Pavilion Master is truly a living god, to have such amazing abilities!"
Everyone was in an uproar, and Xiao Zirui turned around suddenly, and after seeing the gate and sign of Tianming Pavilion, he finally revealed a determined smile.
He thought to himself that his strategy was correct. If he made a big fuss at the gate, the Pavilion Master would have to show up!
The scene was in an uproar at the moment and no one noticed two people getting off the carriage outside.
Yun Qingqing walked towards the crowd with a calm expression:
"Let's go and meet him."
Xiao Changheng followed her.
Zhiluo had disappeared and returned to Tianming Pavilion quietly.
Tianming Pavilion was already very famous in the capital, and after the commotion at the gate, it was surrounded by onlookers and no one could get in or out.
Yun Qingqing was wondering whether she should just teleport directly into the hall and then come out, when she suddenly heard a surprised call.
"Master! You are finally here."
Turning around, it turned out to be Ye Zhishen.
He walked quickly to Yun Qingqing, saw Xiao Changheng, and saluted quickly:
"Meet, meet His Royal Highness the Regent!"
Yun Qingqing looked at him:
"Why are you here too?"
Ye Zhishen had a sad look on his face:
"My mother hasn't been feeling well these days, and she's been missing my sister, so I came here to ask for your help, to see if I can get my sister to come back and see my mother..."
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, and cast a fierce glance at the crowd:
"But when I got here, I saw that group of people slandering Tianming Pavilion! This is simply outrageous!"
Yun Qingqing nodded, took out the Ghost King Order from the space, input a message into it with her spiritual sense, and sent it to Xuncheng Ghost King Li Feier.
After sending the message, she nodded to Ye Zhishen:
"I will take Xiao Yu'er to see the Marquis' wife tomorrow."
Ye Xingyu was adopted by the Ghost King of Xuncheng. Now she is in the underworld, where the yin energy is even heavier, so she cannot be allowed to meet living people on her own.
The message Yun Qingqing sent was to ask Li Fei'er to send the person to her place tonight, suppress the evil spirit in her body, and then go to see the Marquis's wife.
"Thank you, Master!" Ye Zhishen always knew that Yun Qingqing's arrangements were the safest, and nodded happily.
He turned around to look at the packed crowd and volunteered:
"I'll clear the way for you!"
As he spoke, Ye Zhishen waved his hand, and immediately a servant from the Marquis's Mansion came forward. He shouted, "Make way," and asked the servant to push aside the crowd to make way for Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng.
Yun Qingqing strode to the door of Tianming Pavilion.
Here, Xiao Zirui is continuing to confront the group of people who are causing trouble.
He asked his guards to stop the troublemakers who were about to rush into Tianming Pavilion, and said loudly:
"Don't be so presumptuous! Tianming Pavilion is not a place for you to trespass! I advise you to be patient and wait for the Pavilion Master to come out before you can argue! If you try to force your way in again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Zirui was so aggressive that the troublemakers, receiving the hint, immediately acted as if they were subdued and grumbled indignantly, but no one rushed forward again. For a moment, the situation looked as if it was completely under Xiao Zirui's control.
At this moment, Ye Zhishen separated the crowd, and Yun Qingqing and Xiao Changheng came over.
When Xiao Zirui saw Yun Qingqing, his face darkened. However, since Xiao Changheng was also present, he had no choice but to step forward and salute: "Uncle."
Xiao Changheng didn't pay any attention to him and glanced sharply at those who were causing trouble.
Those people were originally ordinary people who took Xiao Zirui's money to act here. How could they bear the pressure from the Liang State's God of War? They immediately retreated with pale faces.
Yun Qingqing looked at these people with a half-smile and said in a calm voice:
"You guys haven't encountered any difficult problems, nor are you kind people. You are not destined to be the people of Tianming Pavilion. Why are you pretending to be the customers of Tianming Pavilion?"
The faces of these people changed, and they all retorted:
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Who are you? How can you say we are not customers of Tianming Pavilion!"
"We are here to look for the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion. Why are you, a little girl, stirring up trouble?"
Yun Qingqing sneered, stared at the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man, raised her hand and pinched her fingers, and said in a calm voice:
"Oh, you're causing trouble for just ten taels of silver. That's really worthless."
The man's face changed. Before he could say anything, Yun Qingqing looked at the middle-aged woman again and pinched her fingers:
"Oh, you asked for more. I took twenty taels."
The woman's face also changed, but before she could refute, the sharp-faced man in front of her shouted indignantly:
"What? Why does she have twenty taels of silver?"
Yun Qingqing continued to point at the people behind her and counted the money one by one, calculating clearly how much money everyone had received. For a moment, not only did these people's faces change, but Xiao Zirui's face also became worse and worse.
As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of money but the inequality of distribution. These troublemakers who originally wanted to refute Yun Qingqing suddenly found that the amount of money they received was different.
These people are all snobs who are greedy for small gains. They don't care who gets less than themselves. They only focus on who gets more than themselves. This really makes them furious.
Yun Qingqing suddenly raised her eyebrows, pointed at one of the burly men and said:
"Wow, this guy not only took fifty taels of silver, but also killed a person. He was rescued from prison and his criminal record was cleared!"
When the strong man heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity. Seeing that the matter was exposed, he fiercely said:
"Just wait! I'll settle the score with you sooner or later!"
The onlookers outside didn't expect that this would suddenly involve a murder case. When they saw the physique of the strong man, they stepped back in shock and the situation became chaotic for a while.
In broad daylight and in front of everyone, the strong man did not dare to take direct action. After making the threat, he turned around and ran out of the crowd, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to leave.
