Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 125 - 124: Yes, I, Zhang San, did it!

Chapter 125: Chapter 124: Yes, I, Zhang San, did it!

Zhang San looked at the two Principal Officers present, and although he didn’t know what level of strength was required to become a Principal Officer, Bai Yucheng served as an Officer back then and was already at the Half-Step Purple Mansion realm.

So these two must be at least at the Purple Mansion Realm, right?

If I were to run, it would probably be quite difficult.

Therefore, at this moment, I could only trust that Third Miss Gan had a way to protect me.

After all, Third Miss Gan was acquainted with a figure like my teacher Ma Lingyao, who was the Chief’s Hidden Martial, so she should have some background.

Even if, by any chance, Third Miss Gan was unreliable, isn’t there still Sister Ling?

I don’t even need Sister Ling’s help; as long as I show that my relationship with her is good enough, when Principal Officer Yue sees that this daughter who refuses to acknowledge her father is about to die, how could he not take the opportunity to help?

At that thought, the confident Zhang San felt at ease.

He strode to the center of the Council Hall, and before Lu Qingquan could speak, Zhang San took the initiative to speak.

"Town Martial Office Officer of the Chuan-Yu Road, Bai Yucheng, took advantage of his position to embezzle cultivation resources. He admitted to this in front of us all in the Ghost Domain, besides me, Wang Ziteng, Xu, White Shadow, and the unconscious Big Head Wang can all testify."

"Following that, Bai Yucheng ordered the four experts by his side to assassinate us, the people of the Town Martial Office. They were all dressed in Dragon Serpent Gang attire, and given that Pang Gezhuang, the leader of the Dragon Serpent Gang, has always worn a mask, I fear the Dragon Serpent Gang might also be a martial force covertly established by Bai Yucheng to help him amass wealth in secret. I don’t have concrete evidence of this, but I have my suspicions, which all of you can investigate later, to ascertain the truth."

Upon hearing this, many of the Town Martial Office colleagues watching from outside were already filled with grief and indignation.

After all, from everyone’s testimonies, it was clear that Bai Yucheng truly had the heart to kill his colleagues.

The thought that the supervisor who treated everyone so well was just an act made everyone feel immense anger.

"Lastly, Bai Yucheng killed many Town Martial Office colleagues and even wanted to kill me! At the time, just in the Primordial Qi Realm of Refining Qi into the Body, driven by anger in my heart, by the justice in my mind, by the Town Martial Office’s earnest teachings, at that moment, I achieved a breakthrough amidst the battle!"

"Flowing through the Twelve Meridians, Drawing in the Innate Qi, achieving Core Creation, entering the True Core Realm! With the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Imperial Path blessing me, I unleashed three strikes with my blade, overpowering the white rogue!"

As Zhang San spoke these words, the people present all felt their blood boiling.

Only Wang Ziteng looked aggrieved.

He’s using... all my lines!

"Three strikes were unleashed, severing one of Bai Yucheng’s arms!"

"After that, I comprehended Blade Intent, channeled the Blade Intent from the Blade Guan Dam within the Ghost Domain, and with added external force, struck with a blade, severely injuring Bai Yucheng."

"Bai Yucheng wanted to resist, but heeded my sincere words. He knew deeply his own grave sins and on the spot, with his remaining arm, he dug out his heart as atonement and died before me."

"These are the true events that happened within the Ghost Domain!"

Zhang San said everything, a mix of truth and lies, without changing expression or missing a beat.

Finished with his performance!

Zhang San knew, what followed now depended on whether Third Miss Gan and Sister Ling’s father would be supportive.

Lu Qingquan’s eyes widened, never expecting that the ultimate truth that no one else had revealed would be like this.

Then, he suddenly slapped the desk and shouted angrily, "Do you know that killing a superior is a crime of unfilial piety, which is among the most unforgivable sins! According to the law, you should be executed!"

As Lu Qingquan angrily stood up and slammed the table, Third Miss Gan stepped forward.

Lu Qingquan pointed at Third Miss Gan and shouted, "It’s not your turn yet, you wait your..."

Clang—

Third Miss Gan directly pulled out a token from her bosom and tossed it onto the desk.

"I am the Chief’s Hidden Martial, ordered to come to the Chuan-Yu Road to make contact with Bai Yucheng, and investigate the affairs of the Chuan-Yu Road. This Zhang San is my man, and to some extent, can also be considered as half a Hidden Martial of the Chief. I won’t interfere with Deputy Officer Lu’s judgment, but as for the case, you can decide for yourself."

After speaking, Third Miss Gan turned to leave.

Just two steps out, Third Miss Gan stopped, turned her face, and said, "Also, I’m one of the Chief’s people. It’s not your turn to interrogate me."

The two Principal Officers present knew that it was not up to Lu Qingquan, who was a Deputy Officer, to interrogate the Hidden Martial personally arranged by the Chief, let alone them.

A smile immediately appeared on Lu Qingquan’s long face, and then he presented the Token to Third Miss Gan with both hands, bowing.

"I just knew that the Chief is wise and martial, and must be able to see through everything and make arrangements in advance. It seems now..."

Lu Qingquan glanced at Zhang San.

This is too damn hard!

Now that I’ve admitted it, you’re telling me he’s one of the Chief’s people!

Couldn’t you people with connections give me a heads-up in advance?

Does someone need to teach you how to go through the back door?

"Cough cough... Zhang San, you too. Young people always boasting, as if you could critically wound Bai Yucheng with one blow. You say you struck Bai Yucheng, and I believe that as a martial artist favored by the Chief, you certainly have such courage and sense of justice. Little guy, you can really talk big. Next time, stop the bluffing."

Saying so, Lu Qingquan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It was Zhang San who committed a capital crime, but here he was, the one responsible for the trial, sweating even more than Zhang San.

"Given that, Zhang San naturally cannot be guilty of murder, much less any unforgivable wicked crime. However..."

Lu Qingquan leaned over to Third Miss Gan, half stating, half inquiring, "But Zhang San, you did attack a superior, so a two-and-a-half-year punishment might be..."

Now Zhang San was truly witnessing Third Miss Gan’s abilities.

Worthy of being my Big Sister!

From now on, I’ll follow Big Sister!

Since my Big Sister is so awesome, I can’t let down her name.

So, Zhang San called out to Lu Qingquan, "Two and a half years? That’s too long, just sentence me to death! Carry it out immediately!"

Lu Qingquan felt like cursing!

I just pulled you back from the brink, and now you insist on dying today?

"Speaking of which, you were just in the Primordial Qi Realm before, how could you possibly deal a crushing blow to Bai Yucheng at the peak of Spiritual Platform Realm? You might not even break his defense in a fighting state."

"Striking a superior can only be considered as assaulting a superior, a one-and-a-half-year punishment. Principal Officers, do you agree?"

The two Principal Officers naturally knew that Third Miss Gan belonged to the Chief, but this Zhang San, at best, could only be considered Third Miss Gan’s person.

However, it wasn’t clear what position Third Miss Gan would be arranged to by the Chief in the future, so they would take whatever was advantageous.

They both nodded in agreement.

However, Zhang San shook his head and said, "One and a half years is also too long! I won’t accept it! Deputy Officer Lu, just give me the death penalty!"

Lu Qingquan was furious!

He already had a long face, which made people ignore that he had hair, and since his hair was indeed not very lush, it was even easier for people to overlook.

Because of this matter with Zhang San, he had been scratching his head in irritation.

I really can’t think of any way to lessen your sentence anymore.

Oh my dear grandfather, is it the death penalty you really want?

"Zhang San, a year and a half is very short," he said.

"How could that be? There are women who say a half-hour is too long and unbearable, and now you tell me a year and a half is short? A year and a half is too long, just give me the death penalty! I, Zhang San, love the death penalty!"
