The Law Enforcement Hall was especially lively today.
In front of them, Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong, the two family heads, fought with all their might. Later, Xianghua Princess, the deputy priest, complained tearfully that she was bullied.
There were people tearing each other apart, and there were people fighting and brawling. How could it be so lively?
The Law Enforcement Hall, which even the Holy Disciples usually took a detour, had now become a special scenery of the Holy Hall, like a vegetable market.
Because of the chaos, no one noticed that two inconspicuous figures had appeared in the crowd of onlookers.
"Hey, the Law Enforcement Hall is going to be in trouble today."
Gossiping was human nature.
Even in the cold and lonely Holy Hall, people still could not restrain their restless hearts.
After all, this kind of thing was rarely seen in a hundred years.
"Exactly. Although the Law Enforcement Elder is the most unreasonable, the one who made trouble today is not an ordinary Holy Disciple. Brother, where are you from? "
The Holy Disciple who was in charge of the voluntary commentary glanced at the strange little man and asked casually.
"I'm from below. It's rare to have a chance to come up and have a look."
Although the short man looked ordinary, he was quite quick-witted.
"How should I address you, brother?"
There was also a difference in strength between Holy Disciples.
Obviously, the commentator was not a high-level Holy Disciple, so he did not put on airs when he saw him.
"My name is Xie Qiang, little man. It's rare to see such a lively scene today. You're a lucky man."
After saying that, Xie Qiang turned his head and continued to explain to others.
And the little man slowly squeezed out of the crowd.
"How is it? Is Miss Gong satisfied?"
Taoist Yu Rong leaned against the corner. He seemed to be very familiar with this place. When he just arrived, he said hello to her and then disappeared.
"It's just so-so, but it's a pity for that Law Enforcement Elder. It's a pity that it's too far outside. If only there was a special seat. "
She sighed and said with infinite emotion.
Taoist Yu Rong smiled with a little helplessness in his eyes.
"It seems that Madam knows Miss Gong's character. Please come with me."
Madam?
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Xie Han had learned to coax cabbages?
Probably because her resentful eyes were too hot, Taoist Yu Rong was not used to it.
He turned sideways and looked at her.
"Miss Gong, this is …?"
"Didn't I say that our cabbages are not allowed to be poached?"
Daoist Yu Rong could not help but laugh and immediately explained.
"I was wrong. It's Miss Spindle. Don't worry, Miss Gong. My master … is quite well-behaved. "
Squinting her eyes, Lin Mengya made sure that he was telling the truth, and then felt relieved.
Compared to their Prayer Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall was more simple and unadorned.
They avoided the crowd and walked towards the side door of the Law Enforcement Hall.
There was almost no one there, and she also realized that the people in the Law Enforcement Hall seemed to be very familiar with Daoist Yurong.
After seeing him, he only nodded slightly and then retreated.
Not a single person stepped forward to stop him.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and tried hard to hide her existence.
Soon, the two of them reached the depths of the Enforcement Hall.
Daoist Yurong pushed open a door and led her into a spacious and tidy room.
After a quick glance, she realized that this should be a reception room.
"Hide behind the screen. Don't be afraid, no one will find you."
He pushed her behind a huge screen. The screen was not transparent, and there was a bead curtain in front of it. As long as she did not go around the back, she could not see anyone.
"What about you?"
She asked softly. Daoist Yurong smiled and turned up. Like a nimble night cat, he climbed to the roof in an instant.
"Shh, someone is coming!"
Daoist Yurong stopped talking, and Lin Mengya immediately shrank behind the screen.
After a while, the door was pushed open.
Then, a few different footsteps came in one after another.
"This is ridiculous! This is the first time in thousands of years that something like this happened in the Holy Hall! Are the Ma and Cheng families crazy? "
Obviously, this person was very angry.
Although Lin Mengya could not see his face, she remembered his voice.
"Elder Liu, you can't say that."
The person who spoke next had a kind and gentle voice.
"I feel that what Family Head Ma and Family Head Cheng said makes some sense. After all, the Deputy Priest violated the rules. As the Deputy Priest, he has to uphold the rules in the Holy Hall. The Full Moon Ceremony is not a joke. You can't mess around. "
"Elder Wu, what do you mean by that?"
Elder Liu's tone was displeased as he questioned Elder Wu.
"I'm just following the rules of the Holy Hall. As the Deputy Priest, I can ignore the rules?"
"You!"
The two of them were at each other's throats.
Just as they were about to quarrel, they suddenly heard a slightly old voice say, "Alright, it's a mess outside. Don't tell me you guys want to imitate them?"
The voice was dignified. Suddenly, the two people who were quarreling like fighting cocks quieted down.
Come to think of it, this should be the legendary Law Enforcement Elder, right?
Lin Mengya wanted to stretch her neck to see, but for safety's sake, she hid behind the screen.
"Both sides are at fault. Ma and Cheng shouldn't have fought with the Deputy Priest. But I've investigated this. It was the Deputy Priest who broke the rules. He should give us an explanation. "
This person's words were very pertinent.
Although Elder Liu was not convinced, he did not dare to quarrel like before.
"But Chief Elder, if Ma and Cheng are not punished, everyone can break the rules in the future."
Lin Mengya frowned. Long Tianhao had mentioned that Yue Qi's current situation was not simple.
This Elder Liu had been protecting her all along.
"I haven't finished speaking. Why are you so anxious?"
A single sentence from the First Elder made Elder Liu as quiet as a chicken.
"I've asked Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong, and they said they were willing to be punished. Since that's the case, they should be punished. Let's forget about what happened today. "
The Chief Elder was very powerful. Once he finished speaking, the others had no room to refute.
"Yes, Chief Elder."
Regardless of what he was thinking, the dust had already settled.
Those people walked out of the room they were hiding in, one after another. After Lin Mengya made sure that no one was staying, she quietly came out from behind the screen.
"Do you understand what happened?"
Taoist Yurong had a faint smile on his face. His eyes flashed with emotions, which Lin Mengya could not understand.
"Yes, I understand, but there's something I'm still confused about."
Taoist Yurong looked at her and sighed.
"You've guessed it?"
"Yes, but I'm just curious. Since you're the son of the Law-enforcing Elder, why did you volunteer to be Xie Han's subordinate? "
In fact, it was easy to guess Taoist Yurong's identity. If he was not a person of high status, how could he run amok in the Law Enforcement Hall?
Judging from his familiarity with this place, he must have grown up here.
Just now, Lin Mengya witnessed the prestige of the Law-enforcing Elder among the elders.
Since this was the case, she could not think of anyone else who matched Taoist Yurong's identity except for the son of the Law-enforcing Elder.
"Some things can't be explained clearly in a few words. We can't stay here for too long, let's go out first. "
Nodding, the two of them quickly went out of the room. After making sure that no one saw them, they went to the front yard.
At this moment, the Law-enforcing Elder had announced the result of the punishment.
Ma Lian and Cheng Rusong both put down the weapons in their hands and knelt on one knee, indicating that they accepted the result.
On the contrary, Yue Qi stood there with a sullen face, looking straight at the Law-enforcing Elder.
"I'm not wrong! Why punish me! Could it be that all of you are blind? It's them who hurt people first, I'm not wrong! "
Her tone was so rude and unreasonable that even the surrounding Holy Disciples began to whisper among themselves.
The group of elders was furious, but the Law-enforcing Elder stood calmly in the middle.
"If you want to punish someone, you can only punish them! I'm the deputy priest, if you dare to hurt me, that's disrespect to the Divine Lord! Don't forget, in the Full Moon Ritual, the Chief Priest and the Deputy Priest have the highest status! "
Lin Mengya finally understood why Yue Qi was so arrogant.
The identity of the Deputy Priest was what she relied on.
The surrounding elders could not help but be put in a difficult position. They also knew the severity of the matter, so they went to invite the Law-enforcing Elder.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the Law-enforcing Elder slowly walked to the front of everyone.
"I, Ding Xu, as the Law-enforcing Elder, apologize to the Holy Deity of the Divine Temple, the Holy Spirit Lord. Today, I will uphold the principles of the Law Enforcement Hall and handle this matter impartially. I hope that everyone can forgive me for my disrespect! "
With that, he actually threw away the walking stick that he had been holding in his hand.
"Clang!" The walking stick was obviously made of wood, but it made a sound of gold and jade.
Lin Mengya saw that the elders at the back revealed an inexplicable look of surprise.
It seemed that this walking stick should be the Law-enforcing Elder's token!
Could it be that in order to punish Yue Qi, he actually had to give up the position of the Law-enforcing Elder?
Lin Mengya found it a little unbelievable, but Yue Qi stiffened her neck, not believing that the Law-enforcing Elder would really deal with her.
And the Great Elder looked at her with a serious expression, the words that came out of his mouth were also powerful.
"I, Ding Xu, have been in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall for tens of years, and have always been impartial, without the slightest bit of favoritism. Since all of you dare not, then the punishment, will be personally carried out by me. From today onwards, I will be removed from the position of the Great Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. I hope that everyone can punish me for my disrespect towards the Deputy Priest. "
These words, made Lin Mengya ponder.
The Great Elder was obviously a stubborn person, and Daoist Yu Rong's temperament was really extraordinary.
How could such a father and son get along harmoniously?
She stole a glance at Taoist Yu Rong beside her, and indeed, she saw the corner of his mouth curling up into a sarcastic smile.
