Chapter 483: Destiny Pavilion Appears
Behind Xiao Zirui were several children of officials. Yun Qingqing knew 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 confronting each other.
There was a woman with a mean face among the common people, who was shouting shrilly:
"This Tianming Pavilion is nothing but a scam! My husband was killed by a talisman I obtained from here! I will demand justice today no matter what. This is the Emperor's Imperial City, and I refuse to believe there's no law here!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks beside her stood up and said:
"That's right! We, the common people, once came here in admiration, hoping to seek help from the Tianming Pavilion. But the Pavilion Master not only swindled us of our money, but also ruined my family! Today, I will force the Pavilion Master to come out and face the authorities 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 the Tianming Pavilion in cahoots? If so, we'll 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 so loud that it made everyone's ears buzz. They immediately shut up and the scene became silent.
Xiao Zirui spoke righteously:
"Nonsense! The Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion is highly respected and has profound Taoist teachings. That's well known. You unruly people are trying to slander Tianming Pavilion with just your mouths. 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 weren't defrauded of our money and property and our families were ruined, and everyone was living a good life, who would come here to cause trouble?"
Someone behind him immediately shouted:
"That's right! Everyone knows that the Tianming Pavilion has a background in the Imperial Capital. Who would deliberately cause trouble unless they had harmed us too badly?"
"We ordinary 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 tell 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 day will not end!"
Two guards suddenly rushed out from behind Xiao Zirui, pulled out their swords, and shouted:
"Outrageous! Do you know who you are talking to?"
The men recoiled in surprise, but soon one of them shouted:
"I can see this gentleman is of a high status, but so what! Just because he has power and influence, he can't tell right from wrong and turn black into white, aiding and abetting evil!"
"Are you planning to use your power to oppress ordinary people like us and cover up the crimes of the Tianming Pavilion Master?"
The leading guard scowled and waved his hand, ordering 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 start a fight with the guards.
Xiao Zirui suddenly shouted coldly:
"Stop! Everyone, get back off!"
The guards paused and retreated.
Xiao Zirui glanced coldly at the crowd of people 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 Master of Tianming Pavilion!"
He pointed behind him and said:
"These people behind me have all received favors from the Tianming Pavilion! They are witnesses! They are enough to prove that the Tianming Pavilion Master is not what you say!"
Xiao Zirui did not reveal his identity directly. After all, he still had two cases under investigation in the Dali Temple.
Besides, he was actually still under house arrest. If the emperor had not been in a coma these days, he would not have dared to make such a big fuss.
Xiao Zirui really can't wait any longer. His status as the crown prince has been stripped, and the two cases are also hanging in the balance. Now his only hope is the leader of the 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 were relentless, but they didn't do anything extreme. They just kept arguing, and for a while the scene became extremely noisy.
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 words fell, a breeze blew up in the carriage. The seat next to Yun Qingqing flashed with green light, and Zhiluo appeared, looking at her with a smile:
"Qingqing, you're finally back. It seems that Prince Rui, that bastard, has lost his position as Crown Prince and is now under investigation for two cases. He's desperate and desperate!"
Yun Qingqing raised his chin outside the carriage and looked at Zhiluo:
"Did he recruit both groups of people?"
Zhiluo sneered:
"Who says it's not? They're obviously using those ordinary people who are deliberately stirring up trouble to lure out the so-called Pavilion Master. He probably can't wait for you to show up after such a long time."
"That bastard is just pretending to protect Tianming Pavilion so he can leave a good impression on the Pavilion Master!"
"Those people behind him who are said to have been blessed by God are all just bullshit. They are just his cronies!"
"He is so stupid and evil, what a shame!"
Having said that, Zhiluo looked at Yun Qingqing with a smile:
"The stage is already 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 hit the sign of Tianming Pavilion. A ripple spread in the air, and 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'd be able to see the Destiny Pavilion in person in my lifetime!"
"What a miracle! That Pavilion Master is truly a living god, possessing such astonishing abilities!"
Everyone was in an uproar, and Xiao Zirui suddenly turned around, and after seeing the gate and sign of Tianming Pavilion, he finally showed 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 could not 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. See if you 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 arrived, I saw those 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 his spiritual sense, and sent it to Xuncheng Ghost King Li Feier.
After sending the message, she nodded to Ye Zhishen:
"Tomorrow I will take Xiao Yu'er to visit the Marquis' wife."
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.
Yun Qingqing's message was to ask Li Fei'er to send the person to her tonight, suppress the evil spirit in her body, and then go to see the Marquis' 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' Mansion came forward. He shouted, "Make way," and asked the servant to separate the crowd and 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 ordered his guards to stop the troublemakers who were about to rush into the Tianming Pavilion, and said loudly:
"Don't be so presumptuous! Tianming Pavilion is not a place where you can trespass without permission! I advise you all to be patient and wait for the Pavilion Master to come out before we can discuss this! If you try to force your way in again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Zirui was so aggressive that the troublemakers, upon receiving the hint, immediately acted as if they were subdued and grumbled indignantly, but no one rushed forward. 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.
Xiao Zirui's face darkened when he saw Yun Qingqing, but because Xiao Changheng was also present, he had no choice but to step forward and salute: "Uncle."
Xiao Changheng ignored his gaze and glanced sharply at those who were causing trouble.
Those people were originally ordinary people. They took Xiao Zirui's money and came to act. 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 calmly:
"You haven't encountered any difficult problems, nor are you kind people. You are not destined to be part of Tianming Pavilion. Why are you pretending to be a customer here?"
These people's expressions 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're here to look for the Pavilion Master of Tianming Pavilion. Why are you, a little girl, stirring up trouble?"
Yun Qingqing sneered, staring at the sharp-nosed and monkey-faced man, raised her hand and pinched her fingers, and said in a low voice:
"Oh, you're causing trouble for just ten taels of silver. That's really worthless."
The man's face changed, and before he could say anything, Yun Qingqing looked at the middle-aged woman again and pinched her fingers:
"Oh, your asking price is a bit higher. I'll take twenty taels."
The woman's expression changed, but before she could retort, the sharp-nosed and monkey-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 uneven distribution of money. 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 profits. They don't care who gets less than themselves. They only focus on who gets more than themselves. This really makes them explode.
Yun Qingqing suddenly raised her eyebrows and pointed at one of the burly men and said:
"Wow, not only did this guy take fifty taels of silver, he also took a life. He was bailed out of jail and his criminal record was cleared!"
When the strong man heard this, his eyes flashed with ferocity. Seeing that the matter was exposed, he said viciously:
"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 were so shocked that they stepped back 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 escape.
