Chapter 83: Is it an injustice?
After these words were spoken, a group of underworld officials quickly surrounded Taoist Priest Yang and me.
I couldn't help but change my expression slightly when I saw this, but Taoist Yang still looked calm and not panicked at all.
These ghost messengers look very aggressive.
Just as we saw
The Yinchai stopped their actions and looked in the direction where the voice came from. When they looked over, all the Yinchai could not help but change their expressions. The next second, I saw all the Yinchai kneeling down and shouting respectfully: "We are here to see the City God."
When I heard this, I looked up and saw a short man who looked about the same height as Wu Dalang walking towards me.
He was wearing an official uniform and a black hat.
I looked carefully. It was the first time I saw the City God, and I was still a little curious.
It’s just that the statue of the City God enshrined in the City God Temple looked tall and handsome, but here he has become short and stocky.
"What are you doing? You dare to cause trouble in front of my government office. How disgraceful!"
The leading Yinchai stood up and said, "Your Excellency, it is not us who are causing trouble, but these two people who resisted arrest and dared to hurt us. Your Excellency, we should catch them and deal with them properly."
The City God glanced at me and Taoist Yang, just a glance, then he retracted his gaze and said, "No need, since they are here, let them go in first."
The City God walked forward, and the ghost messengers did not dare to block his way. They all stood aside and made way for him. He strode inside.
The two ghost messengers who were previously injured by Taoist Yang were now so angry that they dared not say a word and stared at us viciously.
But we can only go in first.
We followed behind him. Taoist Yang still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all about what had just happened.
However, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous in my heart. I followed Taoist Yang and felt a little nervous. I had no idea what would happen tonight.
But I don’t know why, when I saw Taoist Master Yang looking so confident, I felt a little more at ease.
When I arrived at the City God's Mansion, I originally thought that his mansion would be lower-level than the Xiaosidian's mansion, but after arriving there, I found that the City God's mansion was actually quite high-level, which was something I didn't expect.
When we got to the lobby, the City God was sitting in the middle. He glared at me and said, "You are Chen Yang, right?"
"I am."
I didn't deny it and answered directly .
At this moment, the City God suddenly picked up the gavel and slammed it heavily on the table, then shouted angrily: "Chen Yang, as a messenger of the underworld, you actually broke the law knowingly, your crime is even more serious."
"City God, I don't know what law I have broken."
I said calmly.
The City God's face immediately changed, his brows knitted, and he was obviously unhappy. He looked at me with gnashing teeth. A few seconds later, the ghost who was injured by Taoist Yang took the opportunity to stand up and cursed: "Chen Yang, you are so bold, you actually dare to talk back to the City God, are you looking for death?"
The ghost was furious, and looking at his expression, he seemed to want to tear me to pieces.
I glanced at the ghost messenger and said unhappily, "I'm talking to the City God now, why are you butting in? Are you a higher official than the City God?"
I said this calmly, and with just one sentence, the ghost was choked to death.
The ghost raised his hand and pointed at me, wanting to say something, but the words fell back when they reached his lips.
The City God coughed dryly and asked everyone to be quiet.
He continued to look at me and said, "Chen Yang, now is not the time for you to talk nonsense. I am telling you that falsely accusing the underworld official is the first crime. The second crime is that you resisted the underworld's summons. If this is not knowingly breaking the law, what is it?"
I couldn't help but glance at Taoist Yang and found that he was still extremely calm and didn't react at all.
He folded his hands over his chest as if nothing had happened.
I had thought that Master Yang would give me some help by asking me to follow him, or at least give me some hints or reminders.
But now it seems that Taoist Yang did not do that. He just stood there like a nobody.
I was speechless. In this situation, I could only bite the bullet and defend myself.
"Chen Yang, why don't you say anything? Are you admitting your guilt?"
The City God winked at me, and from the look in his eyes, it seemed as if he had me in his grasp.
"In reply to your words, first of all, I want to make it clear that I have not wronged Director Zhao Cheng. Director Zhao Cheng has done all kinds of bad things and is not a good person at all. Secondly, I am also a ghost messenger from the underworld. Why do they use violence against me when I have done nothing wrong?"
I spoke every word politely and I did not give in at all on this matter.
Even if I stand on the opposite side of the City God, I don't intend to give in.
"Chen Yang, I advise you not to continue to quibble. It will do you no good to continue to quibble."
The City God continued to talk to me, and I just laughed.
The City God is Zhao Chengju's brother-in-law, so it is normal for him to speak for Zhao Chengju now.
"Sir, if you want to accuse me of wronging Director Zhao Cheng, if you have any evidence, please bring it out as soon as possible. If you don't have any evidence, please don't wrongly accuse me."
I said lightly.
The City God's face turned a little ugly, and his eyes became a little more sinister. Then I heard him say, "Since I have called you here, I must have evidence. Come on, please bring Lord Zhao up."
After the City God finished speaking, I saw Director Zhao Cheng coming up.
But when I saw him, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in my heart, because Director Zhao Cheng was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked clean. He didn't look like someone who had been in the dungeon of the underworld at all.
On the contrary, it gives people the feeling that they are living a good life with fine clothes and delicious food.
My thoughts paused for a few seconds, and Director Zhao Cheng approached me with an arrogant look, and the look he gave me seemed full of contempt.
When I saw Director Zhao Cheng's look, I couldn't help but guess that this bastard didn't stay in the underworld for long.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little angry.
Zhao Chengju came closer, and the City God seemed to have discussed it with him. The two looked at each other, and the City God said indifferently: "Master Zhao, bring out the evidence that you were wrongly accused, so that Chen Yang will be convinced."
"Yes, sir."
When I heard this, my face suddenly became grim, and I gradually had a bad feeling in my heart.
