Two major events happened in the Holy City the next day. The first was the suicide of the little saintess, Liz, who was on duty that night, and the other was the destruction of the main gate of Dean's house.
Compared to the first event, the second event might not be worth mentioning. However, for the outside world, the suicide of the little saintess was a taboo. Very few people knew about it, and it was limited to some big shots at the top. The destruction of the main gate of the Dean's house was even more sensational. In other words, the people of the Holy City preferred to hear about the grievances of these rich and powerful families.
After all, the Dean's family was also an old aristocratic family in Blue Emblem. It was said that their family history could be traced back hundreds of years.
The angry Dean's family went to the headquarters of the city patrol and asked for a deadline to investigate the criminal. However, they were beaten back halfway through the investigation. The furious Dean's family wanted to put more pressure on them, but it was said that a big shot said something, and the Dean's family immediately stopped. They even quietly withdrew their criminal records from the headquarters of the city patrol.
All kinds of speculations and rumors flew around, saying that the Dean's family had provoked someone that they shouldn't have provoked. It seemed that they were going to be unlucky. After a few rounds of spreading, a shocking news came out of nowhere. It was said that the Dean's family had provoked the Purple Emblem Hull family!
This news was too shocking. They originally thought that the Dean's family had provoked someone and would probably be unlucky for a while, but they didn't expect that they had provoked the Purple Emblem Hull family.
Did they have a death wish? Or did the Dean's family collectively go crazy?
Unlike the people who just wanted to watch the fun, the Dean's family was gloomy. The newly repaired main gate was closed, and the people who usually came and went had disappeared, as if they were avoiding some plague.
In the morning, the news reporters hiding in various corners near the Dean's house finally saw a black-haired man surrounded by many Purple Emblem Battle Team members coming to the front door of the Dean's house.
The black-haired guards who had secretly sealed off the area immediately joined them and used the most barbaric method to break open the newly repaired main gate.
It was said that the moment the door was opened, a few women's screams came from inside, but because of the blockade, the news reporters couldn't go in to get the latest details.
…
Looking at Niyue's father who was kneeling in front of him, Zhuo Ma, who had spent a lot of time with him, did not know what to say for a while.
He originally wanted to wait for Cesbia to come over, especially for the female officer, Captain Mia. However, since last night, officers and soldiers of the detachment kept coming to persuade him to act immediately. They said that once the news was leaked, there would be changes.
In the beginning, he firmly disagreed. He was able to turn the situation around and get his assets back because Sesbia risked his life in the Black Bottom Pit. No matter what, he had to respect Sesbia's opinion.
Of course, he didn't know that the "young man"'s trip to the Black Bottom Pit was far less dangerous than he imagined. It couldn't even be considered dangerous. The reason why he had such an impression was that many people died in this operation. Secondly, many soldiers came to express their gratitude and described the extremely thrilling process of the operation. However, the "young man" didn't meet him for a long time and basically didn't mention anything about the process. He only said that Mia promised to help them get their assets back when her injuries were slightly better.
However, he didn't find Sesbia that night, and those junior officers and elite soldiers kept encouraging and even urging him to act quickly. He still said that he would wait. Who knew that these people would smash the main gate of the Dean's house in the middle of the night in order to make him take action immediately, immediately intensifying the conflict ahead of time.
Zhuo Ma was very clear that these junior officers, detachment members, and even some middle-level officers joined in. They used such violent means not only to help him get his assets back, but also to quickly deal with this matter before Mia's injuries were healed.
There were two advantages. First, they could get credit from Mia, so they could settle the matter without her showing up. Second, this kind of "justice" was against the old aristocratic Dean's family. It was simply too profitable. If Mia really went there personally, they wouldn't get anything. They could only keep the public and private affairs to themselves. They would only be there to cheer for the Dean's family. There was no benefit at all.
Especially the last point, it involved the interests of almost all the officers and soldiers who wanted to participate in this matter and take the opportunity to make a fortune. In order to facilitate this matter as soon as possible, they would actually do anything. They even talked to the guards belonging to the Purple Emblem Hull Family and pulled them in. Not only did they successfully smash the main gate of the Dean's house, they also blocked all the possible escape routes around.
They didn't care about this matter becoming bigger. Not to mention that Bane 187 was right above their heads, these elite soldiers were extremely important. Just by relying on the prestige of the Hull Family, or even without using the name of the Purple Emblem Battle Team, they could settle all the forces. It should be known that the nine detachments and even the base's military almost all had people participating in this matter. It was already a huge feast to divide up the profits!
Whoever dared to block the road to wealth would die!
In this situation, although Zhuo Ma was involved, he couldn't stop it at all.
The heir to the Blue Emblem title of the Dean family was an old blue-haired man. In the face of the black-haired elite soldiers who were like wolves and tigers, he still tried to maintain his aristocratic dignity at the last moment. He sat quietly next to Niyue's father who was kneeling on the ground.
But in this luxurious hall, where the Dean family had lived in the Sacred City for generations, he was finally dragged down from his seat by the sneering black-haired soldiers and fell to the ground in a dignified manner.
"Everything is my fault."
Niyue's father raised his head which was swollen from the violent beating and said with difficulty, "It has nothing to do with the Dean family. I am willing to pay with my life."
He said it very calmly, as if he had already made some kind of preparation, or made up his mind, or helplessly become a victim. In short, at this moment, he had no dignity, no personality, only begging.
Zhuo Ma opened his mouth. Ever since he entered the Black Hole Base, he couldn't sleep every night to prepare the words he wanted to say on this day of revenge. But for some reason, he suddenly didn't have the desire to say it. He just opened his mouth and closed it again.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Niyue's father knelt down again and begged, "Please forgive the Dean family for Niyue's sake, please!"
Then he said, "She is sincere to you, really, I'm not lying to you. For this matter, I have always even beaten her. She didn't know that at that time …"
"Enough!" Zhuo Ma suddenly screamed, "Don't say anymore!"
"We are willing to compensate you." The old man who was the heir to the Dean family's title next to Niyue's father was pressed down by the black-haired soldier and said, "You name a number, we will try our best to raise it. Please don't hurt people and women."
Zhuo Ma was inexplicably irritated and didn't even want to stay here any longer.
A black-haired officer next to him opened the folder in his hand and glanced coldly at the few blue-haired people on the ground. He said, "We have drawn up the number and punishment. You only need to sign it, and then our people will come to calculate your property and report it to the Temple and the parliament."
After that, he threw the document on the ground. The old man only took a glance and fainted. Niyue's father became agitated and shouted at Zhuo Ma.
"Are you going to kill all of us? We even gave you a way to live, but you want to exile us to the cold mine. That is simply a dead end. Zhuo Ma, are you still a human? You are a devil! "
The number and punishment were discussed urgently last night by those people. Zhuo Ma almost had no right to speak, but it seemed that all of it was for its own good.
In order to avoid the revenge of the Dean family in the future, as long as they were still nobles, there would always be some way. These people were now gathered together because of interests, and it was possible that they would be punished if they were left alone in the future.
In the name of the Hull Family's Purple Emblem Battle Squad, they went to the Grand Court to accuse the Dean Family of illegally robbing the property of Zhuoma, a member of their battle squad, Cesbia Family. Once the crime was established, the Dean Family's noble title would be taken back and they would face a harsh legal trial.
The upper echelons of the Purple Emblem Family were happy to see the attack on the blue-haired nobles, not to mention that they would lose benefits. Therefore, before the trial, this document had already written out the result of the trial, and they were not allowed to resist at all.
Moreover, this night, they had used all kinds of connections and found the irrefutable evidence of Zhuo Ma's property being robbed. Even the accomplices who participated in the arrest of Zhuo Ma voluntarily pleaded guilty and were willing to testify. Even if those old nobles united, they could not overturn the case.
If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame themselves!
"If I am a devil, then what are you?" Zhuo Ma said emptily, "I want to see Niyue."
Those soldiers granted Zhuo Ma, who brought them great wealth, all of his requests. They immediately brought him to the backyard, but Niyue did not see him.
In the closed door, she was silent for a long time, and only said one sentence, "You can go."
The soldiers wanted to drag her out by force, but Zhuo Ma stopped them. He looked at the door that was very close but also very far away at the moment, and said after a while, "What else can I do for you?"
After a long time, a faint cry came from the door, but it was never opened, and no one spoke again.
…
Zhuo Ma returned to the Black Hole base in a daze. Ran Ran and Hu Jinxiu asked him what happened, but he did not say anything. He locked himself in the room and cried bitterly.
At this moment, in the distant starry sky, in front of the Star of Disaster, in the dark background, a huge space fleet began to accelerate, gradually moving away from the moving planet, and advancing in the direction of the cold planet …
