Lord Lu, You Wouldn't Want the Southern Borderlands People Causing Trouble in the City, Would You?

When Luo Jun and others rushed to Governor's Residence, they were told that Lord Lu was visiting Fifth Elder from Southern Borderlands.

"Fifth Elder?" Tie Jingang looked at Liu Si: "Who is it?"

"Southern Borderlands is the second-largest person in Yunzhou City." Liu Si explained, "If Great Shaman is the emperor, this Fifth Elder is the auxiliary minister."

"Is it easy to talk?" Luo Jun asked.

Liu Si shook his head. "I have never been in contact with him. Martial Uncle Hou has dealt with him several times. He is a stereotyped and stubborn old man. He pays special attention to the interests of Southern Borderlands people. He is not a bad person, but it is difficult to communicate with him."

"Martial Uncle Hou has a relatively easy-going personality, so I can get along with him fairly well."

Luo Jun nodded. "But Great Shaman is gone, what he said is the best, right?"

"When Great Shaman was here, he had the final say." Liu Si said, "Great Shaman who died was transferred here three years ago. Before him, Yunzhou City here The number one person of Southern Borderlands has changed several times, but this Fifth Elder has been in charge of Yunzhou for many years... Many people believe that he is the real powerful person of Southern Borderlands!"

"It's up to you!" Luo Jun nodded and said to the messenger, "Master, please inform Lord Lu and tell him that Hundred Rivers Sect has something urgent to see."

Seeing that the messenger was hesitant, he handed him a piece of silver, which was the half piece that had not been converted into copper coins before. Upon seeing the silver, the messenger immediately drove in with a smile and reported.

While talking, Lord Lu noticed Liu Si and the others, his eyes lit up, and then he said with a grimace, "Oh Liu Si, why are you so persistent? I already told you that this matter is non-negotiable..."

"You said it has nothing to do with it?" Fifth Elder snorted coldly, "Central Plains people are the most cunning. You and yourselves perjury each other, who can prove the truth? I can only trust my Heartbreak Gu!"

As expected, it didn't take long for the police to report back and Lord Lu invited them in.

"Don't worry." Luo Jun smiled slightly, "Lord Lu wants to take advantage of our Hundred Rivers Sect, so he has to pay a price."

"I want to ask someone for help, what's wrong with this attitude!"

Different from Luo Jun's stereotype of ancient officials, this Lord Lu is not a middle-aged and gentle man with a three-part beard. He looks to be in his thirties, short, chubby, his eyes are narrowed by the flesh on his face, and he looks like he is smiling all the time. If it weren't for the official uniform, no one would think that such a harmless guy would be a frontier official of the imperial court.

"Hundred Rivers Sect?" Fifth Elder narrowed his eyes. "That Hou Song is from your sect, right?"

"You want to see Fifth Elder?" Liu Si frowned. "Forget it... Lord Lu may not be able to persuade him. If we go in, it will easily intensify the conflict..."

Hundred Rivers Sect and the others looked at each other and thought that Luo Jun had guessed correctly. Tie Jingang and Liu Si winked at Luo Jun. It's time for you to perform.

In Reception Room, on one side is Lord Lu wearing official uniform, and on the other side is a skinny old man wearing Southern Borderlands clothing and wearing a cane.

"Hmph!" Fifth Elder shook the crutch in his hand. "Why bother? Leave the person to us and Heartbreak Gu go down, no one can lie!"

"This... isn't this embarrassing for me..." Lord Lu pointed to the skinny Old Man beside him. "By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Fifth Elder from Southern Borderlands... These are the masters of the Hundred Rivers Sect..."

Luo Jun looked at the skinny old man in front of him, smiled slightly, and called out Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind.

"Oh Fifth Elder... If Heartbreak Gu is hit, let alone the person who can't live, the dead land will be ruined for burial..." Lord Lu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Besides, you don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. I suggest that there is conclusive evidence and the real culprit who killed Great Shaman can be found to comfort his soul in heaven..."

"If he really wants Hundred Rivers Sect to help, he probably won't refuse." Luo Jun is very confident. "Even if he doesn't let him, Martial Uncle Tie has you. If we break in, who can stop us?"

"Lord Lu, I, Martial Uncle, am really unjust!" Liu Si requested. "This time it's not just me, this is our sect's Martial Uncle Tie, and the outstanding disciples in the sect are all coming together, wanting to give Martial Uncle Hou an explanation..."

"The reception is not over yet, will Lord Lu let us in?" Tie Jingang asked.

Tie Jingang nodded. "Exactly, and Hou Song has been handling affairs in the sect last night and never left. We can all testify that it must have nothing to do with the death of Great Shaman..."

Lord Lu spread his hands towards the Hundred Rivers Sect: "As you can see, I didn't mean to embarrass Hou Song. This matter is really not a trivial matter, and Southern Borderlands takes it very seriously... If you really want to prove his innocence for him, you'd better bring convincing evidence..."

"Oh Fifth Elder, I said it, it always takes time to solve the case..." Lord Lu explained to the skinny old man, "We have arrested all the suspects and are interrogating them strictly..."

"Just go in and watch my performance later. You guys cooperate appropriately." Luo Jun whispered on the way. Although Tie Jingang and Liu Si didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, the kid had a clear mind along the way, and they really didn't have any ideas, so they should just listen to him first.

"Convince Fifth Elder to let Hou Song go!"

Use Intermediate Point Correction!

Two pairs of dice were rolled, and finally one pair stopped at 3 o'clock, and the other pair was at 90 o'clock!

Good guy, it's either success or Great Failure...Luo Jun sweated secretly and chose 90 points.

"Ding, Event Difficulty 99 points, Final Points 90+15 points, Event Success!"

With the dice as the number, Luo Jun has confidence in his heart.

According to Lord Lu's idea, in order to rescue Hou Song, Hundred Rivers Sect must help solve the case and prove his innocence. But in Luo Jun In the eyes, the essence of this matter is still the owner of the suffering, that is, whether the Southern Borderlands person pursues the case. As long as this Fifth Elder can be persuaded, then Martial Uncle Hou will be fine.

Of course, with Fifth Elder's stubbornness and rigidity, it would be extremely difficult for most people to convince him... But no matter how difficult it is, as long as the success rate is not zero, Dice of Heavenly Secrets can turn things around!

What does it mean to draw fire from under the cauldron!

"Fifth Elder, I just heard that you have Heart-Crushing Gu, can you verify the real murderer?" Luo Jun asked.

"That's right!" Fifth Elder's face showed a hint of pride. "That's the poisonous poison that we Southern Borderlands use to torture the enemy. After taking it, within six hours, you will tell the truth to everything you ask, and after six hours, your whole body will rot and die!"

"It's really amazing!" Luo Jun gave a thumbs up. "Does that mean that using Heart-Crushing Gu on our Martial Uncle Hou can prove his innocence?"

Fifth Elder was slightly startled. "If he uses Heart-Crushing Gu and can still admit that he did not do it, then I will definitely believe in his innocence, but in that case, he will not survive for six hours..."

"Okay, then use it!" Luo Jun nodded in agreement.

"Ah?!" Everyone present showed a black question mark expression, and even Fifth Elder wondered if he heard it wrong.

"Did you hear clearly?" Fifth Elder said, "After using Heart-Crushing Gu, you will..."

"You will die, I understand!" Luo Jun said, "In order to prove our Hundred Rivers Sect's innocence, I think it is worth a try! If after using it, Hou Song admits that he killed the person, then he deserves to die!"

"It is natural to kill someone to pay for life, not to mention the one who killed Southern Borderlands Great Shaman. Not only did Hundred Rivers Sect fall into crisis, but it also destroyed the peace that Central Plains and Southern Borderlands had maintained for decades. His heart is to be punished!"

Fifth Elder swallowed, looked at the young man, and then at Tie Jingang and Liu Si behind him. "Does this kid mean what he says?"

The two of them were a little unresponsive, looking at Luo Jun dumbfounded...

"But!" Luo Jun changed his tone. "If after using it, it proves that Martial Uncle Hou is innocent, what will happen?"

"This..." Fifth Elder was slightly startled. "If a good person is wronged, we will naturally compensate him..."

"Compensation?" Luo Jun raised his voice and said, "That's human life, what should I do with it? How about compensation for human life?"

"Okay, let me tell you, Hou Song is our Hundred Rivers Sect Purple Robe Disciple, in charge of Yunzhou Branch, may not have many people under his command, but he is also a representative of the powerful party in the sect, with status and power no less than that of an elder. In order to prove our so-called innocence, we Hundred Rivers Sect lost an elder, why, Southern Borderlands also have to lose an elder?"

"Fifth Elder is not planning to take his own life!"

"You!" Fifth Elder frowned and stood up with a cane. "Where did you come from? Can you represent Hundred Rivers Sect? There is no one at the Hundred Rivers Sect?"

Fifth Elder released an invisible aura. Although Luo Jun didn't take it seriously, considering his level of the Body Refinement Realm, he still pretended that he couldn't bear it. He took two steps back and came behind Tie Jingang, and at the same time stabbed Martial Uncle Tie.

Tie Jingang understood and stepped forward, releasing his momentum to withstand the pressure of Fifth Elder.

Fifth Elder stared at Tie Jingang with his old eyes.

This is a master! He is not inferior to me!

"I can represent it!" Tie Jingang said, "I am Hundred Rivers Sect sect Purple Robe Disciple. His words are what I mean!"

Seeing that he couldn't hold it back, Fifth Elder also restrained his momentum. "What do Esteemed One mean? Do you want me to take my life?"

"This..." Tie Jingang didn't know what Luo Jun meant, so she looked back at him.

"I am also making an analogy." Luo Jun stepped forward again. "But if Martial Uncle Hou really died under Heart-Crushing Gu, the Liangzi of the Hundred Rivers Sect and Southern Borderlands Even if we are married, Hundred Rivers Sect can not join Southern Borderlands, Southern Borderlands people, can we not come to Central Plains? When Tongda Town passes, will we be able to leave with peace of mind?"

Fifth Elder frowned.

"Of course, I, Hundred Rivers Sect, only have a thousand people, but I can't compare to Southern Borderlands Ten Thousand Mountains, who has more people. But for so many years, Hundred Rivers Sect has been in Central Plains Martial World has a wide network of contacts and a good reputation. The elder of our sect died in vain at the hands of Southern Borderlands. That is not the fault of the Hundred Rivers Sect alone, it is a slap in the face of Central Plains Martial World. By then, all sects will be hostile to Southern Borderlands."

"Southern Borderlands and Central Plains have been at peace for decades, and trade between the two places has prospered. How many Southern Borderlands people have made a living on this, and even settled in Central Plains. If Central Plains is provoked Martial World hates Southern Borderlands people, does Fifth Elder not care about the safety of those compatriots?"

Fifth Elder looked at Luo Jun, hesitated for a few seconds, sighed and said, "I don't want to do anything wrong, but the death of Great Shaman is of great importance and we must investigate it clearly."

"I understand Fifth Elder's mood." Luo Jun's tone also softened. "But you have also dealt with our Martial Uncle Hou. Ask yourself, do you really believe that he will be the murderer of Great Shaman?"

"This..." Hou Song has an easy-going personality, low-key behavior, and obeys the law. The previous disputes between Southern Borderlands and Hundred Rivers Sect were all caused by Fifth Elder and Hou Song came to mediate on behalf of both parties. Originally, Fifth Elder's temper was difficult to deal with, but after contacting him, he spoke highly of Hou Song and felt that he was a sensible person.

Seeing Fifth Elder hesitate, Luo Jun struck while the iron was hot. "To be honest, this Martial Uncle Tie, and more than fifty people including me, all set out from the sect half a month ago to go to Medicine King Valley Birthday greetings to, Yunzhou just arrived yesterday. With a team of dozens of people, plus carriages and horses, Martial Uncle Hou was so busy trying to accommodate us that he didn't even have time to rest. How could he find the time to assassinate Great Shaman?"

"That's right!" Liu Si also said, "Martial Uncle Hou did not leave the sect after receiving the team from the sect yesterday. You can verify this! When the people entered the sect yesterday afternoon, many people saw it. Our sect is too busy with our own affairs..."

"We guarantee it with our sect's reputation!" Tie Jingang took a step forward. "I was with him until midnight yesterday, and there was absolutely no chance of killing him!"

Fifth Elder was silent for a while, finally sighed and looked at Lord Lu: "Lord Lu, I'm sorry, I really don't believe that Hou Song did this., I can't bear to wrong a good man, so let him go... But if the other suspects haven't found the real murderer by the time of Great Shaman's funeral, then they all have to accept my Heart-Crushing Gu!"

"This..." Lord Lu looked embarrassed, and Fifth Elder handed over his hand. "Great Shaman's death is not a trivial matter. If the real culprit is not caught, not only me, but Southern Borderlands headquarters will not give up either. I have lived in Yunzhou City for many years, and I know better than anyone else that peace is hard-won. I hope you will pay attention to it and say goodbye!"

After saying that, Fifth Elder left on crutches.

As Fifth Elder left, the prompt tone of Event Success sounded in Luo Jun's head

"Ding, Event Success, Event Difficulty 99 points, Severity Coefficient seven times, gain 693 experience points."

After smiling at this large amount of experience, Luo Jun thought that this Dice of Heavenly Secrets is really useful. He did not think that his eloquence was good enough to impress Fifth Elder. He believed that if there was no judgment of the dice to follow, even the same set of rhetoric might not be effective.

"Oh... I'm glad..." Lord Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Hou has been cleared of suspicion... I... I will let him go now..."

"Wait!" Luo Jun waved his hand. "Lord Lu, I heard you right just now, Fifth Elder said 'sorry' to you, right?"

"Um... is there any?" Lord Lu seemed a little nervous.

"I heard it too!" Tie Jingang snorted coldly, and Liu Si on the side also nodded.

"Fifth Elder let Martial Uncle Hou go, why did he say sorry to you Lord Lu?" Luo Jun smiled and said, "Could it be that it was your intention to detain Martial Uncle Hou, right? Fifth Elder was entrusted by you to cooperate in the acting?"

"This... how is this possible?" Lord Lu's fat face trembled slightly, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. "Hou Song and I have been friends for so many years, and there is no grievance or enmity..."

"Lord Lu, what you said is on point." Luo Jun smiled and said, "You and Martial Uncle Hou have been friends for so many years. If you want our help, just say so. Isn't this inappropriate?"
