"Fang Jian may not be able to beat me." Yuan Xi said unconvinced.
"Haha." Lie Yi was so angry that he laughed. Then he looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Fang Jian is the son of Taiyuan Daozun. Do you think his Daozun mother didn't give him any powerful magic weapons? Besides, he can suppress nine Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxians including Gao Zaidao in one day. As for you? Forget nine, are you sure you can suppress two Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxians now?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xi completely lost her pride. After a long pause, she could only helplessly ask, "What should we do? Should we just let him lock Heng'er up?"
Lie Yi turned to the old calculator and asked, "Mastermind, what ideas do you have?"
The old fortune teller said, "First, use the great power to redeem Master Lie Heng. This is the most important thing right now."
Lie Yi frowned and said, "But I really can't muster up 1.3 million dust forces right now."
The old fortune teller said, "Someone can come up with it."
Lie Yi immediately turned his gaze towards the old calculator and asked, "Who?"
The old fortune teller laughed and said, "Those hostages in Mingjie Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Lie Yi's eyes lit up immediately. That's right, if these people hadn't targeted Fang Jian, how could he and Fang Jian have become enemies? And how could this have happened?
Thinking of this, Lie Yi immediately said to Yuan Xi, "You will definitely be able to see Heng'er within three days."
After saying that, Lie Yi left the house and returned to the Ministry of Justice.
An hour later, one hundred soldiers from the Ministry of Justice broke into Mingjie Mansion and brought all six hostages who had falsely accused Fang Jian that day to the Ministry of Justice.
The Mingjie Prefecture officials who were the first to receive the news immediately went to find Fu Yiji. Yiji was also very surprised when he learned about this and asked, "Why did the Court of Justice arrest Yundan and others?"
All the deacons said they didn't know, so Yiji had no choice but to take the deacons to the Court of Justice to inquire.
But as soon as they arrived outside the main hall of the Court of Justice, they were stopped by the old calculator. Yiji knew that the old calculator was Lie Yi's think tank, so he hurried to ask about the situation.
The old accountant's face was gloomy. He looked at the four of the seven stewards behind Yiji and said, "The six people, including the hostage Yundan, have falsely accused the captain of the Night Patrol Captain's Office. The court will now interrogate them."
"What?" The four deacons who were on good terms with Ling Xizi were shocked when they heard this and said, "Hasn't the verdict of this case been decided long ago?" They didn't understand. Was it necessary to offend six Dao Fruit protons for a night patrol captain who was about to die?
The old accountant sneered and looked at the four deacons. "You don't know yet, do you? The Night Patrol Captain has taken control of the Night Patrol Captain's Office. The nine nobles who led the Huisheng Rebellion were suppressed by the Night Patrol Captain. Now, the thousand soldiers have surrendered to the Night Patrol Captain."
Upon hearing this, both the four deacons who were on good terms with Ling Xizi and the other three deacons who had nothing to do with the matter exclaimed in surprise.
Even Fu Zhuyiji was surprised and said, "How...how is this possible?!"
The old fortune teller said, "You think it's impossible, but it happened. Well, go back now, while Lord Lie Yi hasn't thought of you four yet."
The four deacons were thrown into disarray upon hearing this, but they still didn't understand. Even if Fang Jian took control of the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion, there was no need for Lord Lie Yi to make such a fuss to show goodwill?
After all, the Night Patrol Captain's Office was only a 'Shaoqing' level office, while Lie Yi was a Shangqing.
At this moment, a scream was heard from the Shouzheng Hall, which instantly alarmed Yiji and others.
"Sir," Yiji asked the old fortune teller, "Where is this?"
The old fortune teller laughed and said, "He's using torture."
"Torture?" Yiji was shocked and said, "They are hostages of the six Dao countries."
The old accountant smiled and said, "So what? This is the Court of Justice. Once you enter here, the law is supreme."
Hearing this, Yiji was stunned. At this time, a steward from Mingjie Mansion who had nothing to do with the case said to Yiji: "Master, go to the Honglutai."
Upon hearing this, Yiji suddenly woke up as if from a dream, immediately bowed and said goodbye to the old accountant, then turned around and led the stewards to the Honglutai.
After Yiji arrived at the Honglutai, he first found Ling Xizi and told her the whole story.
Ling Xizi, who had been leisurely sipping her tea and admiring the flowers, was stunned after hearing Yiji's story. She immediately placed the teacup on the table and asked Yiji, "How is it possible? How could he control those lunatics?"
Yiji said, "I don't know that either, but that's not the most important thing. Ling Xizi Shaoqing, Yun Dan and the others have been captured by the Court of Justice and are being severely tortured!"
"We at the Honglutai are responsible for the affairs of the four states, and these hostages are also under our jurisdiction. We cannot ignore this matter," Yiji said.
Ling Xizi was immediately at a loss. She looked left and right, not knowing what to do. She could only ask Yiji, "Master Yiji, what should we do now?"
Yiji was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ling Xizi speechlessly and said, "Young Master Ling Xizi, I'm here to ask you something too."
Ling Xizi said in a panic: "I don't know..."
Just when Ling Xizi, Yiji, and the four stewards were at a loss as to what to do, a clear and pleasant voice rang out from the attic: "Don't worry about this matter. Even if you do, you can't do anything about it. I just received news that Lie Yi Shangqing's son, Lie Heng, was arrested by the Night Patrol for assaulting civilians on the streets of Yujing City."
"It's Shangqing Jiang E." Ling Xizi said.
Yiji suddenly realized and said, "I understand. Shangqing Lieyi's son was arrested by the Night Patrol Captain's mansion. It was clearly the Night Patrol Captain's punishment for Shangqing Lieyi that day. So Shangqing Lieyi had no choice but to arrest Yundan and the others for a retrial, in order to give the Night Patrol Captain an explanation and to free Lie Heng."
