Chapter 320 Public Trial
Lianyi naturally would not say that she was the one who solved the problem of the puppet controlled by the evil weapon of the Bliss Envoy. As for those believers who saw it, she had just said that it was just an illusion. As for whether they believed it or not, it was none of her business.
The captain of the police who came with them realized that the problem was not that simple. They originally thought it was a simple kidnapping, but now it seems that it actually involves the Paradise Palace sect. And obviously, according to the young lady, this was a big scam.
"Miss, I am Zhao Si, the captain of Huayue City. Can you tell me what happened?"
“It’s a long story.”
Lianyi held the handkerchief in her hand and briefly recounted what had happened, with emphasis on the man named Wen Xun.
"Wen Xun is obviously the helper of Paradise Palace in Huayue City. He took advantage of the flower-viewing festival in the city and the large number of people coming to appreciate the flowers. He specifically looked for a single woman like me with a small fortune, and then deliberately approached and flattered me to trick me into this so-called Paradise Palace."
"Miss, if you know that, why do you still follow his lead?"
Captain Zhao Si asked puzzledly.
"My father told me that if someone shows kindness to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Besides, I am a martial artist, so when I encounter such things, I naturally want to find out the truth. This is how I discovered the cancer of Paradise Palace."
Lianyi stared at her with her beautiful eyes, as if to say, "You shouldn't ask such a stupid question."
The corner of Zhao Si's mouth twitched. He felt that this young lady's idea was a little too self-centered. However, at least he had the strength to match it, otherwise he would not have been able to escape unscathed.
She asked a few more questions, and Lianyi answered them one by one. Finally, she reminded the captain:
"It's obvious that the Paradise Envoy is not a good guy. He asked me for money right away. I took the opportunity to write a letter asking for money and asked my maid to report the case to the government office. However, I saw a lot of gold and silver treasures stored in the Paradise Palace. I guess they were all provided by these fools who were deceived. Captain Zhao can arrange for someone to search it."
After hearing this, Zhao Si's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"Thank you for telling me, Miss. Zhao Si understands. Miss, you are frightened. You can go back to the inn and rest first."
"Thank you, Captain Zhao."
Lianyi then took Minmin's hand, got on the carriage driven by Liang Chen, and left the foot of the mountain first.
"Miss, that Wen Xun hasn't left yet, so I need to go and catch him back."
Liang Chen asked in a low voice while driving the carriage.
"We are ordinary people, so we won't interfere. These matters will be handled by the government officials, so we won't be burdened."
Lianyi directly rejected Liang Chen's proposal.
"Liang Chen understands!"
Although Liang Chen felt a little regretful, he would not disobey his young lady's orders and would just keep the account with Wen Xun for the time being.
When they returned to the inn, Lianyi invited Master Wuyou and his apprentice over, and then asked directly:
"Fellow Daoist Wuyou, how many people are practicing in your Ziyun Palace? What are their levels of cultivation?"
Wuyou was stunned for a moment before answering truthfully:
"We have 103 people in Ziyun Palace now, most of whom are new here. There are about 30 people with my level of cultivation. My master Ziyun's level of cultivation is equal to Fairy Luyao. There are three uncles and great-grandmasters with the same level of cultivation as my master, and they are all cultivating in Ziyun Palace now."
Lianyi felt a little worried after hearing this. His fighting power was a bit low, but it was better than a fake Taoist priest who knew nothing.
"Please ask Daoist Fellow Wuyou to write a letter and inform your elders in Ziyun Palace that I will visit Ziyun Palace soon."
Lianyi stated his meaning directly.
"good!"
Wuyou deserves it very straightforwardly.
The young disciple Feng Yu standing by frowned tightly. He always felt that the fairy Lu Yao had ulterior motives.
Lianyi smiled faintly and said nothing more.
The group stayed in Huayue City for another three days. When the flower-viewing festival was over, the government office also had a result. Among the followers of Jile Palace who were captured, there were several who had disappeared in Huayue City. Now that they had received confirmation from the government office, the families of these people came to look for them.
The case was tried in public, and the Paradise Palace was determined to be a cult organization that used deception and illusion to make money and committed many kidnappings and disappearances. Most importantly, many corpses were dug out in the cave where Lianyi pointed out the statue of the Paradise Immortal was located, which caused a complete sensation in the entire Huayue City.
As for the culprit, Jileshi, the last person to see him was Lianyi. Lianyi was kind enough to draw a portrait and submit it to the yamen, saying that her martial arts skills were not as good as this man's, so she let him escape. The yamen could use this portrait to issue a wanted warrant for the culprit.
The county magistrate of Huayue City has always been law-abiding, but this time the incident was too big. In addition, Wuyou, a registered royal Taoist priest, came forward to testify and confirmed that the Paradise Palace was a crooked cult and a deceptive sect that must be eradicated. The county magistrate also put in great effort in the trial.
There were also those elders who had found the young men and women who had been lost, disappeared, or eloped and returned home. They hated the Paradise Palace and demanded that these evildoers must be severely punished. In the end, those who assisted the evil were thrown into jail, those who were deceived went home, and those who were stubborn were directly sent to perform labor, including Wen Xun.
Minmin privately found Zhao Si, handed him a silver note, and then said that Wen Xun was a beast in human clothing. In order to prevent him from relying on his status as a scholar to harm other people again, it would be better to send him to a place far away with heavier labor to be reformed.
Zhao Si understood immediately and readily accepted the fifty-liang silver note. He sent Wen Xun directly to a dark mine to dig iron ore. That was not an ordinary place for labor. The iron mine was guarded by soldiers. Wen Xun really went there without returning this time. He died of exhaustion before he could last a year.
After dealing with the matters in Huayue City, Lianyi took Master Wuyou and his apprentice and started rushing to Ziyun Palace as soon as possible.
While Lianyi was resting with her eyes closed in the car, she was contacting Shijiu.
"Nineteen, what did you find out?"
"I'm sorry, part of the information of this mission has been overwritten. Because the important fact of the three backtrackings of this interface has been obscured, the Space Administration automatically classified it as an intermediate mission, which happened to be selected by you."
"It means I'm unlucky!"
Lianyi felt that if Shijiu was in front of her, she would definitely kick him.
"Hey! I have reported this situation to the mission supervisor. Because you are currently on a mission and it seems that the mission is progressing well, and this interface is the third time backtracking, it is not appropriate to forcibly interrupt the mission. After research, they decided to let you continue to complete this mission."
"What if I fail too?"
".The interface becomes the nutrient of the evil weapon, and then the interface collapses! However, since this mission information does not match the mission you have accepted, even if you fail this mission, it will be judged as a success."
"Since the mission was successful, I can take one thing away from this interface."
".Yes."
Shijiu hesitated for a moment, but still replied.
"Understood. I will try my best to prevent this interface from collapsing."
