The crowd gathered outside the Jade Sea Magistrate's office was rather orderly at first, but as time passed, some of the workers demanded that the magistrate come out to speak, but they were stopped by the guards. Thus, these people began to storm the office.
At first, it was just a light shove, but the guards didn't dare to use too much force.
However, as the situation continued to escalate, a person suddenly fell to the ground, his temple coincidentally hitting the top of the stairs.
"The magistrate killed a worker …"
A cry of alarm completely broke the balance that was barely maintained.
Many of the neutral commoners were filled with righteous indignation when they heard that the magistrate had killed a worker. They gathered their friends and demanded an explanation from the magistrate.
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Jade Sea. More and more people rushed to the magistrate's office.
On the ranking list, demons were dancing wildly. Many people had already pointed their spears at Fang Yun.
Just as the situation in front of the magistrate's office was about to go out of control, a deafening dragon roar suddenly appeared in the sky, causing everyone to feel dizzy.
After the dragon roar, the entire place fell silent.
No one was talking anymore, because everyone was looking up at the sky. A huge Azure Dragon with a body length of nearly two hundred feet was floating in the air. Also floating in the air were two deep blue whales with a body length of more than five hundred feet.
The two huge whales were like two dark clouds, shrouding the street in front of the magistrate's office.
Many people trembled with fear at the sight.
Some of the more cowardly people were so frightened that they fell to their knees and shouted, "Grandpa Dragon King!" More and more people knelt down, and in the end, except for the scholars, even the troublemakers were kneeling on the ground.
Everyone in the Saint Origin World knew that there were dragons in the sea, but they rarely saw one, let alone such a huge and majestic dragon king.
The azure dragon snorted and said, "I'm the Azure Robe Dragon King, Ao Qingyue. I'm in charge of the trade between the Water Tribe and the Human Tribe. Today, I received news that an enemy spy had bribed Jingguo workers and local ruffians to cause trouble in Jade Sea City, preventing us from buying goods from the Human Tribe. That's why I'm here to take a look. From now on, no one is allowed to move, and anyone who dares to run will be killed! "
After Ao Qingyue finished speaking, he emitted the aura of a dragon king.
Some of the people present had a drastic change in expression. Some of the local ruffians were even trembling in fear.
Ao Qingyue looked at those ruffians with disdain and sneered, "Everyone knows how much the workers of Jade Sea City earn every month. Furthermore, everyone knows that for the same position, the workers of Jade Sea City earn at least 20% more than the workers of other regions. I believe that you think the income is too little, but I don't believe that you can't survive. I'm too lazy to explain it to you idiots. Let's start with the victim. I want to tell some of you that I'm very sorry, but our Dragon Race has a treasure called the Void Room Bead. It's not very useful, it can't kill people, it can't guard the door, but it can record things that have happened. Now, I'll show you the scene recorded by the Pearl of Void. "
After saying that, Ao Qingyue opened his mouth and spat out a Pearl of the Mirage shrouded in smoke into the sky. Then, using the sky as a screen, it projected the scene from before.
Everyone looked up and saw that the sky seemed to be reflecting everything on the ground. From the image, it was obvious that it was being recorded from a high place. They could clearly see everything that was happening below.
After a dozen breaths, the image began to slow down.
Ao Qingyue said, "Look at the range of the red light."
With that, Ao Qingyue spat out smoke and used the Dragons' spell to form a red circle so that everyone knew where to look.
Thus, everyone saw that the victim was only pretending to fall to the ground, but one of his friends pressed his head down and slammed it against the top of the stairs, killing the man.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd tried to run out, but Ao Qingyue snorted and an enormous amount of dragon power descended from the sky and froze the person in place.
The people nearby hurriedly retreated. Then, they saw that the person was the murderer.
Ao Qingyue glanced coldly at the ruffians who were the first to cause trouble and said slowly, "If you confess the truth now, I can still let you go. If you continue to resist, don't blame me for what happens. The first three to defect will be acquitted. Those who confess within a hundred breaths will have their sentences reduced by half. Those who don't confess within a hundred breaths will be charged with one more crime. "
Before Ao Qingyue could finish, hundreds of people in the crowd knelt and shouted.
"I defect! I defect! "
"I'm the first to defect. Please spare my life, Dragon King!"
"I was bribed by Gyeongo! That man may have concealed his accent well, but he definitely has a Gyeongo accent! I know where he lives. I can bring my men to catch him now! "
"We're all here for the money. We really didn't know that they would kill!"
"We only came because we heard that there was money to be had …"
They shouted loudly, afraid that Ao Qingyue would not hear them clearly. Thus, everyone nearby knew the cause of the incident.
Those who came out of righteous indignation had realized that they had fallen into a trap and were being used. Ashamed and angry, they cursed Gyeongo.
Ao Qingyue made use of his identity as the Dragon King and the methods that Fang Yun had taught him beforehand to get everyone involved to confess their crimes.
Only then did the prefect appear. First, he pacified the crowd. Then, he attacked the Qing Kingdom for being despicable and shameless. Finally, he sent out the soldiers he had prepared long ago. He had those who had taken the money to cause trouble take them to catch the people behind the scenes.
Soon, the video recorded by the Bead of Xu Lou appeared on the list. Not only did it record the time before and after the victim was killed, but it also recorded everything that happened after Ao Qingyue appeared.
As scholars, they could basically guess the cause and effect the moment they saw that the victim had been murdered. Moreover, the troublemakers had admitted it themselves. Gyeongo could no longer defend itself.
Thus, those who had criticized Fang Yun all went silent. Many scholars who felt that they had been fooled began to criticize Gyeongo.
After that, many people recalled the cause and effect of the incident. They secretly praised Jingguo for having prepared the Bead of Xu Lou before the murderer was killed. Moreover, they had sent Ao Qingyue, the Dragon King, instead of the magistrate. The effect was immediate.
The commander of Jingguo this time was obvious. The only human who could make the Dragon King do such a small thing was Fang Yun.
After the crowd guessed that it was Fang Yun, they began to ridicule the Qing Emperor and Gyeongo's officials for being stupid.
Later, the Hall of Works issued a statement strongly condemning those who had instigated the workers to bribe the local ruffians to affect the human workshops. They also stated that if there was a next time, they would be severely punished. Although no names were mentioned, everyone knew that they were targeting Gyeongo.
In a courtyard not far from the Jade Sea Magistrate's office, the first two ruffians to confess had changed into military uniforms and were chatting with several other captains.
"Fang Xusheng is indeed worthy of his reputation. He had long seen through Gyeongo's methods. In the middle of the incident, not only did he arrange for the Dragon King in Tsing Robe to record it with the Bead of Xu Lou, but he also sent us two foreign soldiers to pretend to be ruffians. We cooperated with them from the inside and made them confess first, so that those who were actually bribed would confess."
"Fang Xusheng is the one who can determine victory from a thousand miles away and devise strategies in a tent."
"Speaking of which, Gyeongo is really useless. They can't beat Fang Xusheng in the open, and they can't play dirty either."
"It's not that they are useless. It's that Fang Xusheng is too powerful."
