Hai Jingping was furious and almost wanted to tear her face apart completely, tearing the person behind Bizhu's mother-in-law. Because he really suffered the disaster unnecessarily this time, he didn't get any benefit at all. I just wanted to express my gratitude to Jiang Wangxin and ask him to say a word.
He knew very well that in the end it was Master Chongguang who had the final say on matters at the Sea Festival Ceremony.
But Granny Bizhu repeatedly made false accusations and committed crimes as a substantive elder. She did not take him seriously at all and treated him as a piece of cake!
He couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want to bear it anymore.
But Master Chongguang stopped talking and he couldn't say anything more. After all, for someone like him, the overall situation of Diaohailou outweighs his personal honor and disgrace.
As for Mr. Chongguang.
The Bizhu who complained at this time was from the fourth elder Gu Huaixin's faction, and the deceased Haizongming was from the second elder Qin Zhen's faction.
As for the defendant Hai Jingping, others may not know it, but they cannot hide it from him. He and the third elder Xu Xiangwan have a tacit understanding on many things. In short, these have their own backgrounds, and none of them belong to his family.
He doesn't want to care about the power struggle behind these people, and he doesn't have to.
No matter how big Diaohailou is, its resources are not infinite, and competition is inevitable. There are so many outer buildings at the pinnacle. When the opportunity arises to be promoted to the Divine Land, who will go? Who can't go? These all need to be fought for.
Competition is indispensable in a normal and healthy system.
It just depends on the occasion and be measured.
On weekdays, one could just sit back and watch, but at this time in Tianya Terrace, it was difficult for the people of Yanggu and Jueming Island to see too many jokes.
This does not mean that there cannot be struggles within Diaohailou, but the intensity must be controlled, and at the level of the elder protecting the sect, it is the limit.
When it comes to Elder Jinghai, it’s called going too far.
As the highest-ranking person in Diaohai Building present, Master Chongguang must show an attitude.
He glanced at Hai Jingping and Granny Bizhu lightly. His eyes were not sharp, but he had already expressed enough warning: "Today is the day of worshiping the sea. No matter what you do or what you think, you must distinguish the priorities. Between you two Let’s discuss the issue later.”
Even if Hai Jingping was dissatisfied, he could only suppress it first.
For Granny Bizhu, the first goal of her faction is to knock down Hai Jingping and suppress the factional power of the third elder Xu Xiangwan. Her first personal goal is to take advantage of the opportunity to gain enough benefits for herself. As for who this benefit comes from, that is secondary.
Since Hai Jingping and Jiang Wang were cautious enough to prevent her from obtaining evidence of bribery, it would be impossible to defeat Hai Jingping on the spot, and she would even have to bear responsibility for the false accusation. But after the sea festival, she had more ways to solve it.
At this time, Master Chongguo stepped forward to stop him, and she just took advantage of the situation to stop.
"I will obey the order of the real person." Granny Bizhu said respectfully, but then she said: "We can put aside the matter of Elder Hai for now. This little thief who disrupted the sea festival ceremony must not be let go. I would like to express my gratitude here. The state has its own laws, and the sect has its rules. Lao Shen's disciple Zhu Biqiong committed an unforgivable crime and should be destroyed physically and mentally. Lao Shen... will never be merciless! Moreover, she herself has already confessed to this matter, and there is a mountain of ironclad evidence. There is no defense, how can we delay the sea ceremony for a mere brat from Qi State?"
"If this one screams injustice, that one also screams injustice. The forty-five prisoners shout down one by one, do we still want to continue the sea festival ceremony?"
Finally, she bowed to Master Chongguang: "Please allow me to take action and capture this little thief for Diaohai Tower. I will prove my loyalty and wash away all the dirt on my body!"
Seeing that Hai Jingping's gains in Tianya Terrace had been wasted, but Jiang Wang's gains, she didn't want to let go.
Although Jiang Wang succeeded in killing Haizong Ming, no one would think that he did it alone. After all, everyone can clearly see the difference between the first inner palace and the fourth outer mansion.
The Qi State, of course, promoted Jiang Wang's arrogance and leapfrogged his ranks to kill powerful enemies. Diaohailou generally believed that it was Qi State who sent strong men to escort Jiang Wang after learning about Haizongming's whereabouts.
Even Grandma Bizhu herself has absolute confidence in dealing with Jiang Wang. He regarded taking down Jiang Wang as a treasure hunt, so he repeatedly asked to take action in person because he was afraid that others would share some of Jiang Wang's benefits.
No matter how much you are praised as a genius, if you don't have enough time to grow, you can only be manipulated. All we can do is crouch on the ground and wait for the verdict!
Master Chongguang did not comment, just looked at Jiang Wang and said: "Jiang Wang, is your name Jiang Wang, right? Today has been noisy enough to make me upset. Now retreat, I will not hold you accountable for disturbing the sea festival."
Granny Bizhu spoke impassionedly, but he ignored her. Maybe it was to beat up the person behind Granny Bizhu, but more likely, it was to consider the ideas of Yang Feng and Qi Xiao.
They had just spoken out in support of Jiang Wang. If Diaohailou changed hands, they would kill Jiang Wang. It was quite suspected of being a slap in the face, but how should the two real people deal with it?
No matter how strong Diaohailou is, there is no need to humiliate the real person in this world.
And telling Jiang Wang to shut up directly would not only silence the two real people, but also quickly end the matter.
After the sea-sacrifice ceremony is over, isn't it Diaohailou who has the final say on right and wrong in this offshore archipelago?
But Jiang Wang also understands this truth.
Otherwise, why didn’t he open his mouth to overturn Zhu Biqiong’s case until today, when all the forces in the offshore islands gathered together?
Because before that, he didn't even have a chance to speak! He wanted to find someone to deliver a message to, but he didn't know which way to open the door, let alone try to reverse the case. Even if you find a mountain of ironclad evidence, it will be difficult to make waves.
And after that, Zhu Biqiong is gone. Does it matter whether the case is overturned or not?
It's not that he insists on choosing today, but today is indeed the only opportunity and the best time.
"Master, please be careful." Jiang Wang was respectful and polite: "Jiang Wang's actions today are not out of madness, nor are they disrupting the Sea Festival Ceremony. On the contrary, they are to maintain the sacred meaning of the Sea Festival Ceremony!"
Master Chongguang looked at him: "It seems that you are determined today."
How strong is a real person’s sense of oppression?
People may not know it, but they can guess it.
But people also saw at the same time that Jiang Wang still straightened his spine.
He looked at Master Chongguang uprightly and calmly: "It's not that my heart is as strong as iron, but that I have to go where my righteousness lies. Although Jiang Wang is not talented, he can't bear to bring shame to the heroic spirit!"
Granny Bizhu said angrily from the side: "How noble the real person is, why waste your time and words on this thief? Why don't you let me do it..."
She went back and forth just to rely on her cultivation to deal with Jiang Wang.
"Zhenren Chong!" Jiang Wuyou, who was sitting upright in the main seat, stood up by holding on to the armrest: "You servants in Diaohai Tower don't seem to be very sensible. Why do I listen to this? She wants to be your master?"
Although the substantive elders are regarded as inferior elders, they are by no means "subordinates". This is undoubtedly a humiliation.
"You!" Granny Bizhu was extremely angry.
Master Chongguang raised his hand to stop her from speaking, and turned to look at Jiang Wuyou: "Palace Master Huaying has spoken to this person again and again, which shows that he attaches great importance to this person. But this sea sacrifice ceremony is not something that belongs to my Diaohailou family." It’s a matter. If you can delay a family, can you delay thousands of families? If there is really any inside story, it won’t be too late to discuss it after the sea festival is over.”
"Since the origin is clear, Jueming Island does not think it is a delay." Qi Xiao said coldly.
Master Chongguang looked at her, and she sat still, expressionless.
The pressure of this kind of confrontation between real people makes people tighten their hearts and make them almost breathless.
The whole place fell into a suffocating silence.
The dead silence was broken by a seemingly reckless voice.
"I promise to do it! I don't feel like I'm being delayed!" In the crowd on both sides, a man with an unusually high forehead suddenly stood up. He spoke loudly and with unspeakable generosity: "Where justice lies, don't talk about it for a moment. It is appropriate to fight for the rest of your life!"
Based on where he was sitting and his level of cultivation, he shouldn't be qualified to speak. I don’t know where these reckless people came from on Tianya Stage today.
Someone asked in a low voice: "Who is he?"
"Xu Xiangqian of Qingya Academy!" Before anyone could whisper the answer, Xu Xiangqian had already announced his family name: "This is what my master, Mo Ya, taught me!"
This favor is too big. Jiang Wang thought.
Moving out his master and Qingya Academy on this occasion was not just talk. Because of his status as a direct disciple of the great Confucian scholar, Xu Gao'e, at least at this time, really represents Qingya Academy to a certain extent!
And he must not have obtained permission beforehand, and he must be punished afterwards. Otherwise, there are so many disciples in the academy, and everyone can use chicken feathers as an arrow, and the reputation of the academy will be ruined long ago.
Almost as soon as Xu Xiangqian's voice landed, another heroic man stood up.
But I saw that he had a jade belt wrapped around his forehead, his sword-shaped eyebrows were bright, and his voice was like gold and stone: "If there is any doubt about the unforgivable crime, of course it is best to make it clear. What's the point of delaying a little time? There must be no unjust blood on the way back to the heroic spirit!"
The beautiful woman next to him did not get up, nor was she very excited. She only added in a frosty voice: "This is the opinion of Ice Phoenix Island."
If you say Xu Xiangqian is just pretending to be a tiger's skin.
Then siblings Li Fengyao and Li Longchuan can completely represent Ice Phoenix Island and the Shimen Li family. The weight of this voice was extremely heavy.
Right next to Xu Xiangqian, Yan Fu, who was calm and reserved, stood up and held his hands in his hands, saying in a gentle and polite manner: "I, Yan Fu, only represent myself and I will not begrudge this little time. Please also ask Master Chong to eliminate the evil spirits and return a bright moon to Tianya Terrace!!"
He couldn't be the head of the Yan family, and he couldn't do things like Xu Xiangqian, who killed people first and told them later. But he could at least provide support on his own behalf.
Tian Chang simply stood up and said only: "Bajiao Island believes in justice."
He simply sat down again.
The words are simple, but the weight is anything but simple.
Bajiao Island is the overseas foundation of the Osawada family, and together with Chongjia Island, it is one of the two islands controlled by the Tian family.
The influence of the Osawada family in the offshore islands is also stronger than that of the Shimen Li family.
"Our Longmen Academy... ugh!"
Just as Zishu was about to jump up, Zhao Wuyan next to him covered his mouth.
But the girl's voice was already halfway out, so Zhao Wuyan had no choice but to continue: "Zhao Wuyan and Zi Shu, both disciples of Longmen Academy, believe that Diaohailou will handle this matter properly. On behalf of us personally, we look forward to a good result."
These words are somewhat impartial, but speaking out at this time has already made a statement in itself.
Xu Xiangqian glanced at Zhao Wuyan with emotion. If there weren't so many people at this time, he really wanted to hold hands with her and look at her immediately. What a considerate woman! How much I love him! Despite his usually smooth rhetoric, at critical moments, he still supported him unreservedly! Support his friends!
In a daze, Xu Xiangqian almost forgot that Jiang Qingyang, who was also known as the two prides of Qianshan Mountain with him, was still asking for a chance in the court.
Chongxuanxin, who had already received the order, would certainly not fall behind at this time.
Although he was not very strong and had no momentum, he made the biggest move to get up. He almost jumped up and said at the top of his lungs: "Neverwinter Island is willing to seek justice, no matter how long it takes!"
He is so excited!
How many times in your life can you speak out on the Tianya stage?
What kind of sect leader, real person, everyone must listen to what he says! So domineering!
He had long acknowledged Jiang Wang's talent, and after witnessing Wu Yi's easier capture, he was even more convinced that Jiang Wang would definitely grow into a strong player in the future. But I didn’t expect that Jiang Wang not only has amazing talent, but also has such a wide network of contacts!
Good guy, Qingya Academy, one of the four major academies in the world, the top famous Shimen Li family, Osawada family, Beijun Yan family, and Longmen Academy, another one of the four major academies, plus our Chongxuan family, Are you going to take over the world?
Although the world is huge, where can’t we go?
Among these forces, every family and surname may be able to avoid being noticed by Diaohailou at sea. But the combined sound cannot be ignored!
Even the first elder of Diaohai Tower, Chongguang Zhenren, could not ignore it indifferently.
But he even laughed and glanced at Yang Feng leisurely: "I wonder what Brother Yang thinks of this matter?"
General Xuanwei of Yanggu smiled and said, "I listen to everyone."
It was not a big deal at first, he made sarcastic remarks. At this moment, the crowd was raging, but he refused to strive for the first place. After all, it is not wise to keep a firm grasp of proportion and confront Diaohailou head-on.
Master Chongguang remained indifferent, as if the almost forced scene in front of him had no impact on him.
But he finally turned back and looked at Jiang Wang: "Okay, young man. You now have the opportunity to state your so-called 'grievances'. But I want to remind you, if you don't have enough evidence..."
He chuckled and said: "Although I can't bear to see the genius wither, someone must be responsible for the delay in the sea ceremony."
The implication is - you will die.
If he had just ignored it before and only regarded what was happening in front of him as an interesting drama, he could even appreciate this young genius.
So when he was forced to make concessions - even if the concession was so insignificant - he had already made murderous intentions.
This is a murderous intention from a real person in the world.
Jiang Wang remained silent.
But he never missed a single moment of those heavy friendships.
Is it difficult to save Zhu Biqiong?
too difficult!
He just wanted a chance to speak, so he had to first please Granny Bizhu in every possible way, and then beg Hai Jingping. Even so, he had to receive a slap as soon as he came up and vomit blood before he could speak.
This is just opening.
If you want to finish what you said completely, you need Master Sogo to nod.
But he couldn't even find the door of Chongguang Zhenren's house, and he had no qualifications to ask for it.
There is absolutely no possibility of a transaction between him and Master Sogo, because both parties are not equal at all.
Chong Xuan Sheng went against the grain and came up with a way to use the pressure of public opinion to overwhelm Mr. Chongguang, which was extremely audacious.
According to Chong Xuan Sheng's plan, Jiang Wuyou spoke in support of Jiang Wang, and then the Osawada clan supported him. (Jiang Wang had already negotiated with Tian Chang in advance, and Tian Chang got Tian Anping’s support for some unknown reason.)
These two weighty voices are the prelude.
Chongxuan Sheng had already bribed some elders of small sects and asked them to stand up and say a word or two when necessary. There is no need to fight against Diao Hailou, but to express the "public opinion" that longs for justice, and only needs the truth.
Diaohailou claims to be the master of the offshore islands and cannot blatantly trample on public opinion.
Only in this way can Jiang Wang be given the opportunity to tell his story completely.
But he didn't expect that the Qingya Academy, the Li family of Shimen, the Yan family of Beijun, and even the disciples of Longmen Academy whom he had just met would all be willing to speak for Jiang Wang. As a result, the elders of the small sects whom Zhongxuan Sheng bribed no longer had any need to appear.
Because public opinion has been formed.
Of course Diao Hailou could ignore these voices, or even immediately organize more voices to disrupt public opinion. As long as Diao Hailou makes a casual hint, many people will jump up and talk. But this scene just now has stayed here and cannot be forgotten.
There are doubts about the sinners used as sea sacrifices. This will not be forgotten.
And who can really ignore the power represented by these people and these voices coming together?
Take a look.
Even Chongguang Zhenren, the first elder of Diaohailou and one of the most powerful people in the entire sea, must now lower his arrogant head and listen to Jiang Wang say what he should have said long ago.
Even if his attitude is not polite and threatening. But how difficult it is to ask a real person to give in!
Jiang Wang did not become arrogant because of Master Chongguang's concession. His attitude remained upright and could even be called humble.
"Where does this junior have the courage to talk nonsense without evidence?" He bowed deeply to Master Chongguang, then slowly straightened up and turned to look at Granny Bizhu: "Actually, you just said a few words, That’s quite right.”
Granny Bizhu was secretly frightened. When the queens from famous families stood up one by one, she already felt that things seemed to be getting out of control. Jiang Wangyuan was more energetic than she thought. She had already recognized the friendship between Jiang Wang and Zhongxuan Sheng to the maximum extent, but she did not expect that so many people would speak out now... This meant that her plan might not be enough.
The consequences of miscalculation are terrible, especially for her who hides so many ulterior things.
But no one could find any trace of panic on her face.
She has lived for so many years and knows one thing very well. Many times, people are not defeated by their opponents, but by their own panic!
So not only did she not panic, but she snorted coldly and said aggressively: "Which of the things I said is wrong? The law of heaven is clear, you wolf..."
"Zhu Biqiong has a pure nature. She is here today because she was seduced by a traitor!" Jiang Wang suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her: "You are right!"
"But that traitor is not Elder Hai Jingping, let alone me who is far inland and cannot be contacted at all."
For the first time, he stared at the white-haired old lady in front of him with such sharp eyes, and said in a stern voice, "It's you, this old pious woman!"
