Lie Heng and the others were quickly brought to Changyou Hall. When he saw Fang Jian sitting in the hall, he immediately shouted, "Night Patrol Captain, how dare you arrest me? Do you know who I am?"
Fang Jian said calmly, "Did this officer ask you to speak?"
After saying that, Fang Jian ordered, "Slap him."
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, the soldiers beside him stepped forward immediately. Two of them held Lie Heng down, while one stood in front of Lie Heng, holding a piece of acquired treasure, divine iron wood, and hit Lie Heng on the left and right sides of his face more than thirty times.
In an instant, Lie Heng's cheeks became a bloody mess, and his lips were swollen bigger than sausages.
"Ah..." Lie Heng howled in pain, tears welling up in his eyes, staring at Fang Jian with resentment.
The ten Daluo Jinxian national warriors brought by Lie Heng also kept warning and cursing Fang Jian, and reported Lie Heng's identity in an attempt to intimidate Fang Jian.
Fang Jian looked at the ten Daluo Jinxian national scholars and asked the Night Patrol soldiers who were arresting them, "Did they resist when you arrested them?"
The soldiers immediately replied, "Captain, yes, they resisted fiercely and injured many of us."
Upon hearing this, the ten Golden Immortals immediately glared at him, and even Lie Heng looked over in astonishment.
At this time, a Daluo Jinxian national scholar said, "You are talking nonsense. You suddenly set up an array to attack us. We had no time to resist. How can we say that we injured you?"
"It's pure fabrication and nothing exists!" said another Daluo Jinxian national scholar.
"Slander, pure slander." The ten Daluo Jinxian national scholars retorted loudly.
After hearing these people's arguments, the night patrol soldier who spoke earlier looked at the other soldiers, and then these soldiers immediately took out their acquired treasures and attacked different parts of their bodies.
Only a few muffled groans were heard from the Changyou Hall, and the soldiers immediately suffered wounds and injuries of varying severity.
Then, the same soldier, with blood on his lips, turned and looked at the Daluo Jinxian scholars who were arguing, and said, "See? This is the evidence that you hurt people."
The ten Daluo Jinxian state warriors were suddenly shocked with their eyes wide open, and even Lie Heng was shocked by the behavior of these soldiers.
At this time, Fang Jian shouted, "How dare you! Not only did you injure people in the street and oppress the common people, you also dared to defy the law and injure my night patrol officers. Your crimes are truly heinous and unforgivable!"
After saying this, Fang Jian threw down an order, "Take these ten evildoers who resisted the law and execute them! As a warning to others."
When Fang Jian issued an imperial decree, all the night patrol soldiers immediately obeyed the order, turned around, grabbed the ten state officials and dragged them out of the Changyou Palace.
The ten state heroes first cried out for injustice, shouting "false accusation" and "unjust", but the moment they were dragged out of Changyou Hall, their cries turned into pleas for mercy.
Then the cries for mercy gradually died down, and finally disappeared completely. Thirty breaths later, the night patrol soldiers came in carrying ten bloody heads.
Seeing this scene, Lie Heng screamed, then collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, tears of fear streaming down his face like raindrops.
The death penalty in the Xiantian Wuji Realm is not divided into light and heavy levels like in the three realms of the present world. The "execution" in the Xiantian Wuji Realm is a real execution, which is the destruction of both the physical body and the soul.
So when Lie Heng saw these ten heads, his shock and fear were beyond words.
After Fang Jian looked at the heads, he raised his hand and waved it gently. Then ten soldiers carried the ten heads and left Changyou Hall.
Fang Jian then turned his gaze towards Lie Heng and asked calmly, "Do you plead guilty?"
Lie Heng was breathing rapidly, his face was pale, and his whole body was shaking and trembling. After hearing Fang Jian's words, he raised his head, his bloody face opening and closing, and he begged with tears streaming down his face, "Don't... don't kill me..."
"I'm asking you if you plead guilty." Fang Jian shouted coldly.
"I, I, I, I..." Lie Heng's swollen mouth was trembling and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. Tears mixed with the blood on his face dripped onto the ground, which showed how scared he was at the moment.
Fang Jian smiled faintly upon seeing this, then looked at Lie Heng and said, "If you don't plead guilty, I won't be able to send anyone to notify your family to come to the Captain's Mansion."
Hearing this, the extremely frightened Lie Heng suddenly seemed to have found hope. However, because of his extreme fear, his whole body was trembling, his tongue was stiff, his throat was blocked, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
Seeing him like this, Fang Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of time." Then he waited patiently.
After about thirty breaths, Lie Heng finally regained his composure and said, "I plead guilty, I plead guilty."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Very good, then sign the confession."
As Fang Jian finished speaking, Yu Cen walked down the steps holding a white jade tablet in both hands and came straight to Lie Heng.
Lie Heng had not noticed Yu Censhuang beside Fang Jian before. When he saw Yu Censhuang in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in his tearful eyes.
But his life was at stake now, so he had no time to think about these things. When Yu Censhuang unfolded the bamboo slips in front of him, Lie Heng looked at them at the first moment.
There were three charges against him listed on the bamboo slips:
First, they committed violence in the streets, abused their power to bully others, and abused the common people.
Second, disrupting the order of Yujing City and disregarding the laws of the Dao Court.
Third, he allowed his followers to bully and beat the common people. As a "Qingshi" in the Dao Court, he was not strict in his duties and had no way of disciplining, which was a disgrace to the name of a Qingshi.
