Chapter 135 Not asking for trouble
Ge Zhuang then turned and bowed to the inspector, saying:
"Your Excellency, please be wise! It was Wu Ji and this eunuch who took in the criminals! We rebelled and became independent because we refused to be enslaved by them any longer. When Wu Ji failed to kill us, she resorted to such a treacherous scheme today, using Your Excellency's loyalty to murder us!"
“Ge Zhuang, you’re spouting nonsense! You’re talking rubbish, you’re lying! You…”
"Grandpa Pao shouted in a shrill voice."
"Alright! Enough said. I don't have time to meddle in your affairs!"
"Uncle Pao, did you call me here to watch you quarrel? You say they're helping the sinners, but where are the sinners?" the middle-aged inspector shouted impatiently.
"They're in that carriage! They're planning to use it to send the remnants of the sinners away."
The transvestite, Pao Gonggong, immediately pointed to the carriage on the flat ground and said.
"Are the remnants of the criminal clan in the carriage?" the middle-aged inspector said, staring coldly at the carriage.
"Yes, there are fifteen remnants of the criminal clan! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Lord Su, is what he said true?"
The middle-aged inspector's eyes immediately flashed with a cold light, and he said in a sinister tone.
"Your Excellency, don't listen to the eunuch's nonsense. We have never seen any criminals, let alone know who those criminals are!"
"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we open it. Immediately tell the remnants of the sinful race in the carriage to get down!"
The middle-aged inspector gave a loud order.
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency, how do you know that the people in our carriage are definitely criminals?"
What evidence do you have that they are all criminals? Other things are irrelevant, but this concerns the safety of millions of people in our Great Xia Empire. Please, Your Excellency, explain clearly! Otherwise, we cannot bear the responsibility!
Mo Yuming stepped forward and stood in front of the middle-aged man, looking at him and saying.
The middle-aged man glanced at Mo Yuming and said loudly:
"Don't you know who the Sinners are? The Imperial Palace issued a notice to every county a year ago ordering the pursuit and extermination of the Sinners. Don't tell me you know nothing!"
Su Yangyan immediately retorted:
"Who issued the notice? How come we haven't heard a single word about it?"
The transvestite responded:
"Before the New Year, the Marquis issued an order to Lord Liao of Shangyuan City, instructing him to strengthen surveillance and publicly announce the need to assist in the extermination of criminal families. As Lord Liao's subordinate, how dare you lie!"
Mo Yuming turned to the androgynous transvestite and said:
"I don't know if Wu Ji actually posted notices everywhere about killing members of the Sin Clan, nor have I ever heard of any Sin Clan."
Since Grandpa Pao is so certain, he must know a lot about the Sin Clan. So please tell us about the characteristics of the remnants of the Sin Clan and provide evidence. Otherwise, how can we prove that they are the Sin Clan?
We can't just make things up and falsely accuse others! If that's the case, I think Old Man Pao is the most fitting example of a sinner!
"You are the sinner! You are the one!..."
The old man hurriedly shouted.
At this moment, the middle-aged man frowned and said coldly:
"The remnants of the sinful clan are all descendants of the Liang Kingdom's witch clan. The witch clan is a loyal follower and servant of the world-destroying demon clan, and has long been lurking among our human race, waiting for the world-destroying demon to descend."
The descendants of the witch clan appear no different from ordinary people on the surface, but the profound arts they cultivate are extremely evil. They do not improve their cultivation by absorbing spiritual energy, but rather by using a gray demonic energy as their power source.
Therefore, it's easy to tell them apart by looking at the color of their hair and pupils, as both their hair and pupils are gray.
It's easy to spot with just a little attention. Is this explanation satisfactory?
Mo Yuming said after hearing this:
"Oh, so that's how the Sinners are. Then they can cover their heads with hats or trench coats so they won't be easily spotted!"
"Therefore, anyone found to be colluding with the Sinful Clan will have their entire family (up to nine generations) executed; anyone who assists the Sinful Clan in escaping will have their entire family (up to three generations) executed! Anyone who discovers remnants of the Sinful Clan but fails to report them will be sentenced to death!"
The middle-aged man said coldly.
“Eunuch, the people in this carriage are all wearing trench coats. You have no way of knowing who they are. What makes you say they are a criminal? And how can you be so sure they are criminals?”
Mo Yuming questioned the transvestite man.
“I tracked them all the way from Zhongyuan City to here more than twenty days ago. After they arrived in Shangyuan City, they hid in a thatched hut. I have been keeping watch over them for the past twenty days. They have never left our sight until tonight when you helped them escape with a carriage. Fortunately, we discovered them and intercepted them here.”
The transvestite, looking smug and having succeeded in his scheme, spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"You actually helped the criminals escape!"
The middle-aged man rebuked him after hearing this.
Su Yangyan pointed at the transvestite and cursed through gritted teeth:
"You eunuch, how dare you come up with such a treacherous scheme to frame us!"
"You yourselves helped the criminals escape, you deserve what you got, don't slander innocent people!"
The transvestite sneered.
Mo Yuming looked up at the middle-aged man standing on the carriage and said calmly:
"Your Excellency, everything is now clear. Please return to your carriage and leave as soon as possible to avoid harming innocent people!"
A middle-aged man with his hands on his hips:
"What do you want? Threatening me? I'll just stand here and see who can do anything to me! If anyone doesn't want to live, then bring it on."
"Let's see who dares to lay a finger on me. Those who know what's good for them, unload the remaining members of your criminal clan from the carriage and execute them immediately, or I'll spare your lives."
"Doesn't Your Excellency understand who the accomplices of the remnants of the criminal clan are? Do you really need to look at the people in the carriage?" Mo Yuming said firmly.
"I don't care who framed whom. I only care who is colluding with the Sin Clan. The carriage where the Sin Clan is now yours, so you are criminals who are colluding with the Sin Clan. Your Great Xia Empire will have to pay the price for this!"
The middle-aged inspector spoke arrogantly and unreasonably.
"Very well, since Your Excellency is so convinced that we are helping the criminals escape, then I will make you admit it! Everyone in the carriage, get out!"
Mo Yuming snorted coldly:
As one figure after another slowly stepped out of the car, both the transvestite and the middle-aged inspector were stunned!
"You cheated! You must have switched the criminals!"
The transvestite man suddenly roared wildly.
"Is this what you call the remnants of a sinful race?"
The middle-aged inspector shouted at the transvestite.
Fifteen children, aged between seven or eight and eleven or twelve, stood in front of the carriage, each dressed in black outfits and wearing a trench coat.
They had all taken off their hats, and they were all little boys; there were no girls or young children at all, and none of them had gray hair or pupils.
Seeing the scene before him, the half-male, half-female transvestite was furious! But somehow, a mistake had occurred, and they had switched the bodies.
He knew that if he didn't figure out the situation now and find the missing remnants of the criminal clan, they would definitely have a hard time escaping Mo Yuming's revenge.
Although the Marquis had given the Inspector many benefits before, without solid evidence, the Inspector dared not do anything to Mo Yuming and his men!
