“What a joke! Since when does the law enforcement Hall have to look at the eyes of others? aren’t you looking down on the law enforcement Hall, or are you looking down on Hall Master Gongyang?” Ma Jian said in an arrogant tone.
In the past, the law enforcement Hall still had rules to follow. However, after Gongyang Jie took office, the people under his command could be said to have no scruples. They would do anything to achieve their goals. The three pavilions acknowledged that the law enforcement Hall was the most domineering and the most capable generation in history.
Most of the time, even the elders couldn’t order Gongyang Jie and his subordinates around. They didn’t even care about the public opinion.
Just think about it, even the death of the soaring Sky Pavilion’s supervising Deacon, Nan tianyong, could be ignored by Gongyang Jie simply because he was not interested. Only Meng jueguang had died in this case, so naturally, Gongyang Jie would not care at all.
According to the law enforcement Hall’s current rules, as long as the hall Master Gongyang Jie did not interfere, his subordinates had the absolute power to make arbitrary decisions on the case. They did not have to care about what the public or the higher-ups of the three pavilions would think because Gongyang Jie would bear all the pressure for them without any worries.
This was where Ma Jian’s confidence came from-Gongyang Jie wouldn’t be interested in such a small case, so under his protection, he could do whatever he wanted as long as he could come up with a reasonable excuse. Therefore, Xu lingchong’s request to trap Lin Yi was a piece of cake in his eyes.
This was completely out of Lin Yi’s expectations. He was caught off guard. In a place like the law enforcement Hall, and in Ma Jian’s hands, it was really difficult to deal with this.
This Ma Jian wasn’t strong, and Lin Yi was confident that he could handle him. But if he dared to make a move in the law enforcement Hall’s territory, then he would definitely die. Even ten lives wouldn’t be enough to survive, unless … Shangguan LAN ‘er intervened!
Of course, this was the last step, and Lin Yi believed that Shangguan LAN ‘er wouldn’t just ignore it. It was just that it was the last step, which was equivalent to admitting that she was the one who caused the mine collapse.
“What do you want?” Lin Yi asked in a deep voice. The only way to deal with this was to take it one step at a time.
“What do I want?” Ma Jian suddenly laughed and said proudly,””Of course I don’t want anything. I’m a law enforcer, and you’re the one who caused the mine collapse and killed Meng jueguang. I’m just doing my job and preparing to send you to the guillotine!”
Ma Jian thought that Lin Yi would panic like a normal person after he said that, but Lin Yi didn’t panic at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly,”By the way, does Gongyang Jie know that you’re doing all these outrageous things?”
No matter what Gongyang Jie did, no matter how protective he was, there was one thing he was sure of. No superior would want a subordinate who could do whatever he wanted.
They only needed obedient and capable watchdogs, but they didn’t need spendthrifts who acted on their own initiative and were good at causing trouble. This was the iron law.
No matter how solid the law enforcement Hall was, it must have its own internal rules. Even if Gongyang Jie himself did not interfere, it was impossible for Ma Jian to cover up this case alone. Otherwise, the internal department of the law enforcement Hall would have long been rotten, and it would be impossible for it to have such a powerful influence.
“Hehe, is there something wrong with your brain? or do you really think you’re some Big Shot just because you’ve been called the number one newcomer of the welcome Pavilion? I’m telling you, trash like you can’t even enter the eyes of our Hall Master Gongyang, so you’d better give up. I can guarantee that even if you’re sent to the guillotine, Hall Master Gongyang won’t even spare you a glance!” Ma Jian laughed without restraint.
However, before he could finish laughing, the secret door of the interrogation room suddenly opened. A man came in and whispered a few words in his ear. Ma Jian’s face suddenly changed.
“Those two ant-like things, do they really dare to say that? Did they turn a deaf ear to what I said to them before?” Ma Jian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
So that was how it was! Lin Yi, on the other hand, relaxed a little. The other party had spoken very softly, but with his extraordinary perception, he could more or less hear what he said.
The messenger was talking to Ma Jian about the confessions of the two guards at the tenth Kuangqu. These two were the ones closest to the start of the collapse, and were summoned for investigation just like Lin Yi.
Of course, the two of them were different from Lin Yi in one aspect. Lin Yi was the murderer that Ma Jian thought was the murderer, while the two of them were the witnesses to Lin Yi’s crime.
As soon as he took over the case, Ma Jian had already hinted to the two of them what they should say and what they should not say.
In fact, in Ma Jian’s plan, these two didn’t even need to make any false witnesses. They just needed to exaggerate the situation and make it seem like Lin Yi was in trouble.
As long as there was a logical explanation, along with the statements of these two so-called witnesses, Ma Jian could pin the crime on Lin Yi’s head. If everything went smoothly, it wouldn’t be hard to send Lin Yi to the guillotine.
Originally! Everything was under Ma Jian’s control! However! What he didn’t expect was that the two guards, who were not worth mentioning, had turned their backs on him.
The two guards didn’t listen to him and didn’t give a statement that wasn’t in Lin Yi’s favor, but instead spoke up for Lin Yi.
“I don’t know if Meng jueguang came to the tenth Kuangqu to test something or for some other reason, but he forced Lin Yi to dig around randomly. Then the mine collapsed. It’s hard to say if there’s any direct connection, but even if there is, the root of the problem is Meng jueguang. He deserved it and Lin Yi had nothing to do with it.”
These words were the original words of the two guards. Although there were slight differences in their words, the meaning was the same.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel glad that he saved those two when the mine collapsed, and that they weren’t the type to bite the hand that fed them-he wouldn’t even be able to reason with them if they were to give false evidence.
Damn it, wouldn’t this mean that all his efforts would be in vain!
MA Jianyi’s triangular eyes glared at Lin Yi. Just as Lin Yi had predicted, the law enforcement Hall could ignore the looks from the outside, but they had to follow the internal iron rules.
