Chapter 541 Qiu Xiaoyi joins 9th Heaven Tower
Mayor Hong Qiushan was taken into the restaurant to rest, and three soldiers were protecting him closely.
Of course, the main thing is to prevent him from running around.
After he left, Shen Changgong looked at the third in command Zhao Hai who was sitting on the ground and said with a smile,
"See? This is the boss you follow. As soon as anything happens to you, he immediately writes you off."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said,
"Your Highness, please don't sow discord. It's normal for everyone to flee when disaster strikes.
He gives me money and I work hard for him. He doesn't owe me anything.
I sold him out, and he sold me out in return, which was only right.
As a bandit, everyone knows that this day will come. I am in trouble. I am unlucky. It is what I deserve. I have killed so many people and I cannot escape death, but at least I have lived a happy life.
Your Majesty, please be kind and let me have my death."
"Oh, you are quite open-minded. I will enforce the law impartially."
Shen Changgong walked to the entrance of the restaurant, looked at Yan Fuyao and asked,
"Your Majesty, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
“We’ll wait for the confessions of the other bandits in the mountains and conduct an interrogation in front of the villagers. This matter must be brought to light.
If the mayor is truly evil, he must be severely punished. If he was framed, then it means he is a capable and good official, so give him a promotion."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Stop flattering me, wasn't it you who did it?"
Shen Changgong smiled slightly, walked to the side, lifted Xiao Qiao up, and asked,
"Are you afraid?"
"Xiao Qiao is not afraid. Xiao Qiao also wants to learn martial arts and punish evil and promote good."
"You, just focus on your cultivation and don't get involved in this kind of thing."
"Humph, Lanling Wang is such a bad guy."
Soldiers have begun carrying away bodies and clearing the streets.
Not only did the number of people on the streets not decrease, but they gathered more and more.
After all, it is everyone's nature to watch the fun, not to mention that the emperor was personally suppressing the bandits and the mayor was also involved.
In addition, they all wanted to catch a glimpse of the emperor, so they all came out and did not leave until it was getting dark.
Most people are waiting for the mayor's verdict.
Of course, they still hope in their hearts that the mayor is innocent, because the mayor has indeed built Luyao Town into a major economic and commercial town, allowing local residents to live a good life.
The guards bought a coffin, put the old soldier in it, and changed him into a new shroud. The craftsmen at the coffin shop were also carving a stone tablet.
The Jianghu guest sat alone in the corner of the corridor outside the restaurant, feeling depressed and unhappy.
Although he had known the veteran for a short time, he was very much to his liking and they had fought side by side to kill bandits. He was very sad that he died like that.
Shen Changgong saw him and waved to him.
The Jianghu guest hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and clasped his hands together, saying,
"Your Majesty."
Shen Changgong sat on the steps, looked at the Jianghu guest and said with a smile,
"What's your name and where are you from?"
The people around were extremely envious after seeing this scene. They thought that being asked by Lanling King for his name would mean that he would be very successful in the future.
"Your Highness, my name is Qiu Xiaoyi, and I'm from Liang. Oh, and by the way, there's no Liang country anymore."
Qiu Xiaoyi scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Liang Ren? Then why did you come to Qi?"
"As a Jianghu person, the whole world is our home, so it's normal for us to travel all over the world.
I heard that Jiutian Tower had opened a branch in Qi, so I thought about going to Linzi to join Jiutian Tower, become a hero, punish evil and promote good, and punish corrupt officials.
I just happened to be passing by here.”
Shen Changgong nodded to show his understanding.
This town is the junction of four countries and is also an important thoroughfare.
"You really want to join Jiutian Tower?"
"Of course I do. Um... could your Highness introduce me to someone? I'm definitely a good person and would definitely not do anything evil."
Qiu Xiaoyi asked nervously with a smile on his face.
Shen Changgong shook his head and said,
"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."
Qiu Xiaoyi felt a little lost. When he was about to speak, Shen Changgong suddenly pointed at a beautiful woman with seductive eyes and said,
"But you can find her. She is Fairy Meiyan, the owner of Jiutian Tower."
Qiu Xiaoyi was shocked when he heard this and turned to look at the tall and heroic woman beside him.
"You... are the owner of Jiutian Tower? The owner is a woman?"
He only knew that Jiutian Tower was a chivalrous organization with the responsibility to supervise officials and the underworld, but he had never heard of anything else.
Fairy Meiyan raised her eyebrows and asked,
"What's wrong with women? Do you look down on women? I can beat ten people like you."
"Yes, yes, you are truly a heroine. I admire you immensely. Could you please allow me to join the Jiutian Tower? I've been away for over half a month just for this purpose."
Qiu Xiaoyi fell to his knees with a thud, and it looked like he was about to become a disciple on the spot.
Fairy Meiyan glanced at him and said,
"Seeing that you hate evil, you dare to attack so many bandits. You have good character."
Qiu Xiaoyi smiled.
whee.
"But he's so stupid. He dared to fight against so many bandits. What if he lost his life? He's too reckless. Who knows how he'll ruin our Jiutian Tower in the future."
Qiu Xiaoyi stopped laughing.
No hehe.
"Owner, I... I can't just sit there and watch bandits kill, rob, and snatch women. If I don't do anything when I encounter something like this, then I won't even think about doing justice in Jiutianlou."
"Well... you can join us in Jiutian Tower, but you must be obedient and abide by the rules. We in Jiutian Tower cannot kill people at will. Instead, we must investigate the matter, collect evidence, and hand it over to higher authorities for strict punishment. We cannot abuse lynching and kill people at will.
If you can kill officials based on hearsay, what's the difference between you and bandits? What if what you heard is false? What if you're being manipulated?
The Jiutian Tower has the power to monitor the world, but trials and killings must comply with the rules and regulations of the court.
Otherwise, Jiutian Tower would be no different from a cult.
Any power must be regulated and restricted, otherwise it will be a disaster, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand. I will obey you. As long as I can punish the corrupt officials, it's fine, even if it's just collecting evidence for the imperial court to chop off their heads."
"Well, from now on, you can follow us. You are from Liang, and we are going to Liang Country.
After arriving in Xingqing Prefecture, I will set up a branch of Jiutian Tower there. You are familiar with Liangdi, so you can contribute more when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, OP."
Qiu Xiaoyi was overjoyed, stood up and quickly stood aside.
By evening, the team that went out to suppress the bandits returned, escorting hundreds of bandits and two leaders.
General Liu Rong of the Changning Army came over and clasped his hands and said,
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, our army successfully suppressed the bandits at Shuanglong Mountain, killing over a hundred of them, capturing over a hundred alive, and capturing two of the bandit chiefs."
"Come here, bring up the two bandit chiefs!"
