Perhaps because of another identical casualty case, Shanda people's arrogance became even more arrogant.
"It seems that it must have something to do with your Demon-Conquering Division!"
"Sir, even if this murderer is your adopted son, I will never give up on this matter!"
"Don't think that I am just a seventh-grade official who joins the army as a recorder. Just think of me as someone who speaks lightly!"
On the side, Mr. Cao, a member of the Judicial Military Service, who was also a seventh-grade official, had a headache expression on his face and repeatedly persuaded:
"Sir Shanda, please be patient."
"I came today just to discuss the situation."
"According to the current case process, I still need to transfer the case to the head of the department for trial."
Shanda people were furious:
"That's ridiculous!"
"Now, they, the Demon Subduing Division, are the ones who are suspected. Is it possible that they should be allowed to investigate the case on their own?"
"There is no reason in the world for the murderer to kill someone and then let the murderer investigate the case!"
"In other words, this Demon-Conquering Division, from the boss to the Demon-Conquering Guards, are all the same!"
As soon as these words came out, even though Liang Jiunan knew it was best not to speak at this time, he couldn't help it after all.
He was so angry that lightning burst out from his palm, and he subconsciously slapped the table next to him.
Following the shattered debris, Liang Jiunan roared:
"This is ridiculous!"
"With just one touch of your lips, you identified me!"
"I am the Demon-Conquering Guard! The dispute with Mrs. Sheng is nothing more than a verbal dispute at most. Why should I curse her to death with such madness!"
"What's more, this kind of curse-killing technique that tortures criminals will take at least three days to kill people completely!"
"Mrs. Sheng and I have only been together for less than two hours since we separated in Qingshui Temple!"
"How could she die!"
"Moreover! Do you know how many casualties the Demon-Conquering Division has in the entire Tang Dynasty every year?"
"How much pension does the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate to the Demon-Conquering Division every year?"
"Master Shanda, don't humiliate my colleagues in the Demon Conquering Division here, as well as those heroic souls who have sacrificed their lives!"
Shanda people sneered:
"What is the statute of limitations? This is also your family's opinion. Who can prove it!"
"Besides, how many casualties you have, it's because you are not good at learning! Don't try to support me here!"
The Demon-Conquering Guards who had been watching couldn't help it any longer. They were furious and wanted to rush into the meeting hall:
"We can all prove it!"
"Yes, the Yangzhou Demon-Conquering Division has only used this method no more than five times since its establishment until now!"
"The art of curse killing is not achieved overnight! This is not only true for practitioners, but also for ordinary people!"
"That's right, even if you join the army and have the power of supervision, you can't control the Demon Subduing Division!"
"I, the senior of the Demon Subduing Division, will not tolerate your insult!"
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more outrageous, Li Shangjing, who was on the main seat, slowly raised his hand.
"boom!"
The sudden explosion caused the scene to become quiet immediately.
But Li Shangjing's face was gloomy, and the armrest of the chair beside him was broken into pieces: "Have you had enough noise?"
When Leng Lie asked, everyone's breath froze.
Li Shangjing said slowly:
"Master Cao, you joined the army as a judicial officer. It is true that you are unable to investigate this case. It is normal procedure to hand it over to the Demon Subduing Division."
"Mr. Shanda, I'm sorry for your wife's death."
"But I grew up watching Jiu Nan and know what he is like."
"You should also believe in the character of the Demon Conqueror!"
As he spoke, Li Shangjing slowly stood up with cold eyes:
"Most of the people in the Demon-Conquering Division are lonely and helpless civilians. They are very different from wealthy families like you."
"They have experienced the warmth and coldness of the human world since they were young. They joined the Demon-Conquering Division and lived a life of fighting against demons and monsters, just so that the people of the city can live in peace."
"And their treatment and benefits are not higher than those of the soldiers."
"So, please don't trample on the hearts of the Demon-Conquering Division!"
Shanda's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Li Shangjing interrupted forcefully.
"More!"
"In terms of cultivation, I am a seventh-grade warrior, and one of the three people with the strongest cultivation in Yangzhou City!"
"In terms of official position, I am in the fifth rank. Moreover, the Demon-Conquering Division is an organization directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty Emperor Taizong!"
"You are a seventh-grade official, and you have the power of supervision, but you can't control me!"
"And... when you see me, you should bow respectfully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, no movement was seen from Li Shangjing, but the masonry under his feet began to crack!
There was a hint of fear in Shanda's eyes, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, his face turning pale for a while: "In that case, you should follow the rules!"
Li Shangjing nodded:
"If you are a colleague in the Demon Subduing Department, you are involved in a case."
"According to the rules, the local demon subduing master will report it."
"If the incident occurs in a county town, the Demon Subduing Division of the neighboring state will send people to investigate."
"If the incident occurs in the state capital, it will be reported to the governor of the state, who will arrange for a manpower investigation."
"I will go to the Governor's Mansion immediately and inform the Governor of this matter, so you don't have to..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice came from not far away:
"Shang Jing, there is no need to go to the Governor's Mansion."
"My officer has arrived."
In everyone's stunned eyes, they saw Governor Chen walking slowly, followed by the Jinghua Goddess from Jingshui Temple!
Li Shangjing was stunned and quickly greeted:
"Lord Governor!"
"Goddess!"
"How do you..."
"Amitabha!" The Mirror Flower Goddess waved her whisk in the dust and said with a smile:
"The poor nun had taken a short nap earlier, and in his dream he had foreseen that he would be imprisoned due to nine difficulties. This was an attempt to impose a crime on him, and the poor nun could not stand idle."
"But the poor nun is a monk, and it is useless to come forward directly, so he went over his shoulder and invited the governor to come."
"Please don't take offense to my friend Shang Jing."
Li Shangjing repeatedly held up his hands: "You're welcome, Lord Governor, please take a seat!"
Governor Chen waved his hand and looked at Master Cao first:
"Sir Cao, as the judicial officer of Yangzhou City, this case has spread rumors in Yangzhou City before the result is reached. You are responsible for this matter."
"Find out the person behind the rumors as soon as possible and inform me and Director Li. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Master Cao said quickly.
Governor Chen looked at Shanda Ren again and said immediately:
"Mr. Shanda, Madam's death is indeed sad."
"But since the establishment of the Demon-Conquering Division, there has never been a case of the Demon-Conquering Guard harming anyone."
"So, when Shanda insulted the Demon-Conquering Division just now, I felt that it was inappropriate."
"I have the final say on this matter, so I will let the Demon-Conquering Division investigate it on its own."
"Of course, I will follow up on what happened."
"After all, I am also a cultivator. You cannot fool me on important matters."
"If Chief Li cannot give me an explanation, I will report it to Chang'an City and ask the Chief of the Demon Subduing Department of Chang'an City to send someone here."
"Nine Difficulties has just solved the case of Can Sheng Empress. The hard work has done a great job, but don't let everyone's passionate hearts be dampened!"
Now that the words have been spoken, Shanda people can't say anything, so they can only nod reluctantly.
Afterwards, Mr. Cao and Mr. Shanda left one after another, and the onlookers' demon-conquering guards also left at Li Shangjing's order.
In the hall, Governor Chen looked at Liang Jiunan and shook his head slowly: "It's really a big tree that attracts the wind. Someone will have an idea for you so soon."
Liang Jiunan couldn't help but be stunned: "Master Governor, what do you mean by this?"
Governor Chen waved his hand:
"Director Li, let Jiu Nan investigate this matter by himself."
"This is my order. I believe that the two people who join the army for recording and joining the army for justice will have nothing to say."
"Nine difficulties, I will leave this case to you. What are your plans now?"
Liang Jiunan thought for a while, cupped his hands and said:
"To inform the Governor, I am planning to... first use the method of summoning spirits to find out what Madam Sheng and others were obsessed with before they died, and see if we can find any clues!"
