Chapter 239 (4000) Mr. Lu, you don’t want people from southern Xinjiang to cause trouble in the city, right?

When Luo Jun and others rushed to the Governor's Mansion, they were told that Mr. Lu was meeting with the fifth elder of Southern Xinjiang.

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

"He is the second-largest person in Yunzhou City in Southern Xinjiang." Liu Si explained : "If the great wizard is the emperor, this fifth elder is the assistant minister."

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

Liu Si shook his head: "I have never been in contact with him. Master Hou has dealt with him several times. His evaluation is that he is a rigid and stubborn old man who pays special attention to the interests of people in southern Xinjiang. He is not a bad person, but he is difficult to communicate with."

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

Luo Jun nodded: "But the great witch is gone, so what he said is the best, right?"

"When the great witch was here, he had the final say." Liu Si said: "The great witch who died was transferred here three years ago. Before him, the number one figure in Southern Border in Yunzhou City also 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 figure in southern Xinjiang!"

"Just have the final say!" Luo Jun nodded. The messenger said: "My lord, please inform Mr. Lu and tell him that Bainamen has something urgent to ask for."

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

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

"If he really wants Bainamen to help, he probably won't refuse." Luo Jun was very confident: "Even if he doesn't let me, Uncle Tie, who can stop us if we break in? Stay? "

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

"Don't worry." Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Master Lu wants to take advantage of our Bainamen, so he has to pay a price."

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

As expected, it didn't take long before someone came to report back, and Mr. Lu invited them in.

"Just go in and watch my performance later. You guys cooperate appropriately." Luo Jun whispered on the way. Although Tie Jinggang and Liu Si didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, this kid's thoughts along the way Clearly, they really don’t have any ideas, so just listen to him first.

In the living room, on one side was Mr. Lu in official uniform, and on the other side was a skinny old man in southern Xinjiang clothing and wearing a cane.

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

"Oh Fifth Elder, I told you, it always takes time to solve the case..." Mr. Lu explained to the skinny old man: "We have arrested all the suspects and are interrogating them strictly..."
 "Hmph!" The fifth elder shook the crutch in his hand: "Why bother? Leave the person to us and use the mind poison, and no one can lie!"

"Oh, fifth elder! ...If you are infected by the heart-stimulating poison, not to mention that you can't live, even if you die, the land will be ruined for burial..." Mr. Lu waved his hands hurriedly: "Besides, you don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, I suggest that there is conclusive evidence. , Only by finding out the real culprit who killed the great witch can he comfort his soul in heaven..."

While speaking, Mr. Lu noticed Liu Si and others, his eyes lit up, and then he said with a grimace: "Oh, Liu Si Ah, why are you so persistent? I already told you that there is no need to discuss this matter..."

"Master Lu, my uncle is really unjust!" Liu Si pleaded: "This time it's not just a matter of discussion. I, this is Uncle Iron Master of our sect, and the outstanding disciples in the sect have come together to seek an explanation from Master Hou..."

"This...isn't this embarrassing for me..." As he spoke, Mr. Lu pointed to the skinny old man beside him: "By the way, let me introduce to you, this is the fifth elder of Southern Xinjiang... these are hundreds of The master of Namen..."

"Bainamen?" The fifth elder narrowed his eyes: "Is that Hou Song from your sect?"

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

"You say it has nothing to do with it?" The fifth elder snorted coldly. Said: "The people of the Central Plains are the most cunning. We all give false testimony to each other. Who can prove the truth? I can only trust my heart-inducing poison!"

Master Lu spread his hands towards the people of Bainamen. : "You have also seen that I did not mean to embarrass Hou Song. This matter is really not a trivial matter, and Southern Xinjiang also attaches great importance to it... If you really want to prove his innocence for him, you should bring convincing evidence..."

The Bainamen people looked at each other and thought that Luo Jun had guessed correctly. Tie Jingang and Liu Si gave Luo Jun a wink, it's your turn to perform.

Luo Jun looked at the skinny old man in front of him, smiled slightly, and summoned the secret dice in his mind.

“Convince the Fifth Elder to let Hou Song go!”

Use intermediate points to correct it!

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 a success or a big failure... Luo Jun sweated secretly and chose 90 points.

"Ding, the difficulty of the event is 99 points, the final point is 90+15 points, the event is successful!"

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

According to Mr. Lu’s idea, in order to rescue Hou Song, Bainamen must help detect the case and prove his innocence. But in Luo Jun's eyes, the essence of this matter is still the owner of the suffering, that is, whether the people of Southern Xinjiang pursue the case. As long as he can convince the fifth elder, then Master Hou will be fine.

Of course, with the stubbornness and rigidity of the Fifth Elder, it would be difficult for most people to persuade them... But no matter how difficult it is, as long as the success rate is not zero, Tianji Dice can turn things around!

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

"Fifth Elder, I just heard that you have a heart-destroying Gu. Can you prove the real culprit?" Luo Jun asked.

"That's right!" The fifth elder showed a trace of pride on his face: "That is the poisonous poison used to torture our enemies in southern Xinjiang. After taking it, within six hours, if you ask anything, you will tell the truth. Within six hours, After that, the whole body will rot and die!"

"It's really awesome!" Luo Jun gave a thumbs up: "Does using the Heart-Destroying Gu on our Master Hou prove his innocence?"

The fifth elder was slightly startled: "If he used the heart-destroying Gu and could admit that he did not do it, then I would definitely believe in his innocence, but in that case, he would not survive six hours... …”

"Okay, then use it!" Luo Jun nodded in agreement. "Huh?!" Everyone present showed black question marks on their faces, and even the fifth elders wondered if they had heard wrongly.

“Did you hear it clearly?” The Fifth Elder said: “If you use the heart-destroying Gu, you will die in six hours…”

“Will you die? , I understand!" Luo Jun said: "In order to prove the innocence of our Bainamen, I think it is worth a try! If after using it, Hou Song admits that he is the one who killed him, then he will be worthy of death!" Killing for life is a natural thing, not to mention that the one who killed was the great witch from southern Xinjiang. He not only put Bainamen in crisis, but also destroyed the peace that had been maintained in the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang for decades. His heart is to be punished. "

The 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 also a little unresponsive. Luo Jun was dumbfounded...

"But!" Luo Jun changed his tone: "If after using it, it proves that Master Hou is innocent, so what?"

"This... "The fifth elder was slightly startled: "If a good person is wronged, we will naturally compensate him..."

"Compensation?" Luo Jun raised his voice: "That's human life, how can we compensate for it with human life? ”

"Well, let me tell you the math. Hou Song is the purple-robed deacon of our Baina Sect and is in charge of the Yunzhou branch. Although he doesn't have many people under his command, he is also a representative of the powerful party in the sect. His status and power are no less than An elder. In order to prove our so-called innocence, our Bainamen lost an elder. Why, does Southern Xinjiang also have to lose an elder?"

"The fifth elder is not planning to take his own life! "

"You!" The fifth elder raised his eyebrows and stood up with his crutches: "Where are you from? Can you represent Bainamen? There is no one in Bainamen?" 
The fifth elder released an invisible aura. Although Luo Jun didn't take it seriously, considering his level of solid foundation, he still pretended that he couldn't bear it. He took two steps back and came behind Tie Jinggang. At the same time, he stabbed Uncle Tie.

Tie Jingang understood this and stepped forward, releasing his momentum to withstand the pressure of the fifth elder.

The fifth elder stared at Tie Jingang with his old eyes.

This is a master! Not beneath me!

"I can represent it!" Tie Jingang said: "I am the purple-robed deacon of the Baina Sect. His words are what I mean!"

Seeing that he could not hold back, Wu The elder also calmed down his momentum: "What do you mean, your Excellency? Do you want my life?"

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

"I am also making an analogy." Luo Jun stepped forward again: "But if Master Hou really dies under the heart-destroying poison, the relationship between Bainamen and Southern Xinjiang will be forged. Bainamen does not need to enter Southern Xinjiang. , people from southern Xinjiang, can you not come to the Central Plains? Can you feel safe when passing through Tongda Town?"

The fifth elder frowned.

"Of course, the mere thousand people in our Bainamen can't compare with the large population of the Hundred Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang. But for so many years, Bainamen has a wide network of people in the martial arts world of the Central Plains and has a good reputation. We sent The fact that the elder died in vain at the hands of the people from Southern Xinjiang is not the fault of Bainamen alone. It is a slap in the face of the entire Central Plains martial arts community. At that time, all sects and factions will be hostile to Southern Xinjiang."

" Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains have been at peace for decades, and trade between the two places has prospered. Many Southern Xinjiang people have made a living on this, and even settled in the Central Plains. If the hatred of the Central Plains martial arts against the Southern Xinjiang people is stirred up, the Fifth Elder will not care about the safety of those compatriots. "

The fifth elder looked at Luo Jun, hesitated for a few seconds, and sighed: "I don't want to do anything about it, but the death of the great witch is of great importance and must be investigated clearly. "

"I also understand the fifth elder's mood." Luo Jun's tone also softened: "But you have also dealt with our Master Hou. Ask yourself, do you really believe that he will be the murderer of the great witch?"

"This..." Hou Song has an easy-going personality, a low-key behavior, and obeys the law. In the previous disputes between Nanjiang and Bainamen, the Fifth Elder and Hou Song came to mediate on behalf of both parties. It was originally difficult to deal with the fifth elder because of his temper, but after getting in touch with him, he spoke highly of Hou Song and felt that he was a sensible person.

Seeing the fifth elder's hesitation, Luo Jun struck while the iron was hot: "To be honest, this uncle Iron Master, and more than fifty people including me, all set out from the sect half a month ago to go to Yaowang Valley to congratulate Shou, we just arrived in Yunzhou yesterday. With a team of dozens of people, plus carriages and horses, Uncle Hou was so busy trying to accommodate us that he didn’t even have time to rest. How could he have the time to assassinate the great witch?”
 "That's right!" Liu Si also said: "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 Jin just stepped forward: "I was with him until midnight yesterday, absolutely. No chance to kill!”

The fifth elder was silent for a while, and finally sighed and looked at Mr. Lu: "Mr. 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 the other suspects , if the real culprit has not been found by the time of the funeral of the great witch, you will have to accept my heart-destroying Gu!"

"This..." Mr. Lu looked embarrassed, and the fifth elder held up his hand: "The death of the great witch! It’s no small matter. If the real culprit is not caught, not only me, but also the Southern Xinjiang Headquarters will not give up. I have lived in Yunzhou City for many years, and I know better than anyone that peace is hard to come by. I hope you will take this seriously. Farewell! br>
After saying that, the fifth elder left on crutches.

As the fifth elder left, Luo Jun’s mind sounded a reminder that the event was successful

“Ding, the event was successful, the event difficulty was 99 points, the severity factor was seven times, and 693 experience points were gained. .”

After smiling at this large amount of experience, Luo Jun thought to himself that this secret dice is really easy to use. He does not think that his eloquence is good enough to impress the fifth elder. He believes that if there is no judgment of the dice to follow, even the same set of rhetoric may not be effective.

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

"Wait a minute!" Luo Jun waved his hand: "Master Lu, I heard you right just now. The Fifth Elder said 'Sorry' to you, right?"

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

"I heard it too!" Tie Jingang snorted, and Liu Si nodded.

"The Fifth Elder asked Master Hou to be released, why did he say sorry to you, Mr. Lu?" Luo Jun smiled and said, "Could it be that it was your intention to detain Master Hou, right? The Fifth Elder was entrusted by you to cooperate in the acting?"

"This...how is this possible?" Mr. 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..." 
"Master Lu, what you said is on point." Luo Jun smiled and said: "You and Uncle Hou have been friends for so many years. If you want our help, just say so. Isn't it inappropriate to do so? Huh? ”
