Chapter 329 You must be the scapegoat!
"I···"
Tang San wanted to ask Zhou Qing about his thoughts on establishing a sect, but on second thought, he felt that it was a bit too early to bring up the matter of establishing a sect.
After all, Zhou Qing had no intention of rebelling now. He was only using Luoxing City as an experiment to see whether ordinary people had the courage to challenge the powerful.
Besides, they are only six years old!
"what happened?"
Seeing Tang San's hesitation, Zhou Qing was a little confused, "Just tell me what you want to say. Who are we talking about?"
"Nothing, I just had some ideas. But let's talk about it after this matter is over." Tang San did not hide the fact that he had something on his mind, but he did not say the details.
"Privacy? I understand."
Zhou Qing showed a mysterious smile and squinted his eyes:
─━_─━
That wit that could not be concealed seemed to see through everything.
"Do you like it, Xiao Wu?"
"Cough cough!"
Tang San almost choked on his own saliva and said hurriedly, "Don't talk nonsense! Also, why do your words sound so weird?"
"It's okay, you'll get used to it later." Zhou Qing laughed.
"I think, from now on, everything you say may have two meanings." Tang San rolled his eyes, then sat cross-legged on the ground and entered a state of cultivation.
Now, because Zhou Qing got Tao Rongtie, he also benefited, and his soul power reached level 19. Naturally, he wanted to go one step further and reach level 20 within one or two months, so that he could go to the larger Soul Hunting Forest with Zhou Qing to obtain the second soul ring. With their current strength, they might be able to venture into the famous Star Forest on the continent!
As long as they don't enter the middle area or the core area, they should be able to break into the outer area...
···
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In Luoxing City, the opinions about Dales were overwhelmingly negative, and some people even went to the Spirit Hall to find Norman to verify the facts - this naturally ended in nothing.
But the people who went to verify the matter passed on another message to the people in the city, that is, Norman had witnesses and material evidence of Darles' collusion with the Fallen, and he carefully protected it, wanting to wait until more senior officials from the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire arrived before showing it to them, so that Darles would have no way to defend himself.
Suddenly, the residents of the entire Luoxing City were overjoyed.
In their opinion, as long as they waited half a month, or a month, or two months, Darles would be brought to justice, and then they could live a good life.
"Want to live a good life?"
"no way!"
The real Darles, who was hiding in the city lord's mansion, learned that the people in the city were scolding him. He was furious and wanted to call the housekeeper over, but he was worried that Zhou Qing and others would see through his disguise. He had to hold his anger and found several soul master-level attendants to destroy all the witnesses and material evidence in the Spirit Hall tonight.
Ever since!
That night, a fire broke out in the Luoxing Martial Spirit Hall, and even the surrounding houses were burned down.
Fortunately, the fire was not big and Norman was prepared, so it was put out when it spread to the fourth house.
However, the witnesses placed in the Martial Soul Hall were reduced to charred ashes in human form, and most of the written materials also vanished into thin air.
Norman placed the real witnesses and physical evidence in a secret room in his own basement. The evidence that has now been burned was actually the witnesses who were captured from the Falling Star Slope gang and had killed more than ten people.
"Dales is going too far!"
That night, the residents of Falling Star City did not sleep. At dawn, Norman looked at the dark and dilapidated Spirit Hall, gathered people, went to the square, and gave a speech. "Since Darles came to Falling Star City, people have been missing one after another... Now the truth is clear, he is colluding with the Fallen!"
"The adventurers from Notting City found out some of the truth, but in order to shirk responsibility and distance himself from the matter, Darles sent those who knew the truth to Falling Star Slope. He also increased taxes, forced donations, and lowered the purchase price of soul sand—"
"You are simply not a son of a man!"
The onlookers cheered!
Norman went on to say, "I thought that with the evidence in hand and several powerful spirit masters watching over Darles, it would be fair and give him some face. When the high-level officials of the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall come, everything will be revealed. If I have wronged him, I will personally apologize!"
"But now it seems that Darles is the ultimate mastermind!!"
"He can burn down the Spirit Hall today, and he can burn down your house tomorrow!!!"
The crowd was outraged!
but!
When Norman asked everyone to grab their weapons and follow him to the City Lord's Mansion, the people agreed verbally and seemed to have gone home to get weapons that could be used in battle. However, when they arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, there were only Norman and a group of people from the Spirit Hall.
common people?
not a single one!
There were only three or five dogs gathered together, wandering around, as if wondering why there was no one on the street.
Fortunately, the patrol officers and soldiers of Luoxing City did not rush over immediately...
"Master Norman, what should we do now?"
The soul master below asked weakly.
Norman looked back and found that no one had followed him. His eyelids twitched and he cursed inwardly: "Zhou Qing has misled me! These bastards are only brave enough to talk! It's time to act! They've all gone back to their homes!"
But now that they have come here, can they turn back?
If that really happens, the Luoxing Martial Spirit Branch Hall will become a laughing stock among the people of the entire Luoxing City!
In the City Lord's Mansion, after receiving the intelligence, True Darles sneered, "Norman, oh Norman, you are too naive. Although those lowly people are ignorant, they also cherish their lives. It's okay to just talk nonsense, but if they really come with you, it's a rebellion! Why would they come with you? How dare they come?"
At this time, the fake Darles also learned the situation from the servant. His face changed, and he was about to go out to talk to Norman, but was stopped by Tang San, who said, "You'd better stay here first."
"You!" The fake Darles' face changed and he scolded, "I just asked you to monitor me, but you can't interfere with my actions, right?"
Tang San didn't waste any words. He took out the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow from Yue Ziming on the twelfth floor and pulled the trigger towards the ground.
Whoosh!
In an instant, dozens of soul power arrows pierced black holes in the floor.
The fake Darles' lips trembled in disbelief: "What kind of weapon is this? A crossbow? No! There are soul power fluctuations, it's an attack-type soul guide!"
"Now, be quiet and follow our orders, or I won't mind letting this thing pierce a few holes in you!" Tang San threatened, "I know you are loyal and don't care about your life, but we also know that the real Darles is hiding in this mansion."
"you!"
The fake Darles' eyelids twitched, and he wanted to ask how the other party found out, but then he heard Tang San say, "My companion has gone to find him and wants to talk to him... and you, you must be a scapegoat today and die for Darles."
