Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Mo Lingling frowned slightly, seeming a little impatient. The Valley Master was used to big scenes and remained calm.
"Today, we are hosting a banquet in the valley. I didn't expect that the officials from the Law Enforcement Department would be here. I am deeply honored." After a warm greeting, he immediately turned around and instructed the housekeeper and the servant, "You ignorant people, why don't you quickly let the distinguished guests from the Law Enforcement Department sit down. Serve them with good wine and tea. They are our Feng Valley. No, no, no, they should be said to be the most distinguished guests on the island."
The butler immediately stepped forward to entertain him with a smile, but he was stopped before he could say anything. Looking at the hand that was already in front of him, the butler's smile froze for a moment, but it was also fleeting, and then he looked at the Valley Master.
"I wonder what your Excellency means by this?" The Valley Master asked in a calm and unhurried tone without changing his expression.
The next moment, the captain waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately handed over a piece of paper and spread it out to everyone.
"Warrant for arrest."
"Warrant for arrest!"
"Why is it an arrest warrant?"
"No, no, I should say how did the arrest warrant get sent to Wind Valley?"
... ...
After seeing the three big words on the paper, everyone started talking among themselves. In fact, they didn't read the contents clearly, but just took a quick look and started to make all kinds of guesses.
Finally, a hint of coldness appeared on the face of Fenggu Valley Master, but it was only for a moment. Most people didn't notice it, except Feng Yinyin who had been sitting in the corner waiting to watch the show.
He smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Seeing such an expression on the Valley Master's face, it seemed that today was a really good day.
"The arrest warrant has the law enforcement seal on it, you see it clearly." He held up the arrest warrant and turned it around, then returned to the Valley Master. "Feng Tianming, the master of Fenggu, has been pointed out as the mastermind of a major case. After investigation and evidence collection by the Law Enforcement Department, an arrest order has been issued and he is being detained in prison."
Everyone was surprised. They never expected that the arrest warrant was for Feng Tianming. Fenggu was different from the seven major families. Their power was the best on the island. Although they believed in God, God was just an illusory belief for them. However, Fenggu was one of the three major forces along with Fengshen Temple and Lingxi Palace.
If you want to capture the leader of Fenggu, it is more cautious than executing Mo Yuanming. The life and death of Mo Yuanming can be decided by the law enforcement captain, but if you want to arrest Feng Tianming, you must have solid evidence and the law enforcement seal of the chief law enforcement officer.
In other words, if there wasn't 100 percent evidence, this arrest warrant would never appear here.
Once it appears, it will be irrefutable evidence.
Feng Tianming is finished!
This was the unanimous thought in the minds of everyone present at the moment.
What was supposed to be a happy event has now been completely ruined.
"Someone, take him away."
From beginning to end, Feng Tianming didn't say a word, but just gave Feng Yinyin a meaningful look before leaving.
After Feng Tianming was taken away, everyone present also said goodbye and left. Feng Tianming was not there, so Feng Yinyin had to take charge of the situation and deal with the aftermath. As for Mo Lingling, because she had not completed the ancestor recognition ceremony, she was not considered a member of Fenggu, so Feng Yinyin politely arranged for her to rest in a remote place.
Looking at the empty banquet hall, Feng Yinyin couldn't describe the feeling in her heart at this moment, she felt inexplicably sad.
"How unpredictable the world is." He sighed as he watched the sky gradually darken.
Feng Yin was feeling very distressed at the moment. Logically speaking, she should be happy and excited that Feng Tianming was in trouble.
Without time to rest, Feng Yinyin quickly summoned all the managers and elders of Fenggu to discuss countermeasures.
It wasn't that she had to save Feng Tianming, but she had to save him. Because her mother was still in Feng Tianming's hands. She couldn't forget the look in his eyes when he left. Maybe in the eyes of others, it was his worry for her daughter, but only she knew that it was a naked threat. If she wanted her mother to be safe, she had to save that man!
Thinking of this, Feng Yinyin's hands couldn't help but tighten and tremble slightly. God knows how much she wanted that man to die.
The emergency meeting of Fenggu lasted until late at night, but still no effective and feasible solution was discussed. Because the only ones who could make the Law Enforcement Department change their minds and show mercy were gods and their messengers.
Many people suffered from insomnia that night, especially Mo Lingling.
Looking at Mo Lingling who had been sitting there without saying a word since returning to the room, Chunying felt a little scared and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Mo Lingling gritted her teeth, her fingernails pinching her palms to the point of drawing blood, but she still clenched her fists tightly.
Why
Why is this
Why has her luck been so bad lately
First it was Lingxi Palace, then the Mo family, and now even Fenggu has fallen. All of these seem to have one thing in common, which is her. No wonder the outside world is saying that she is unlucky in marriage. After this incident, this rumor is probably even more credible.
Damn it, what on earth is going on? Her trump card falls again and again, is it a coincidence or is there someone behind the scenes? If it is the latter, she doesn't seem to have offended such a powerful person. The person who can calculate Feng Tianming, I am afraid that only God is behind him.
But legends are just legends after all. The gods have disappeared for thousands of years. How could they deliberately come out to go against a small person like her? But to say that all this is a coincidence, she is too unlucky. The incident at Lingxi Palace was her own fault. The Mo family could also say that she was implicated, but Feng Tianming was arrested, not too early or too late, it happened on the day she recognized her ancestors, and it was the most important moment.
Thinking of this, Mo Lingling slammed the table hard.
Mo Lingling sat there motionless for several hours, and Chunying did not dare to move and stayed beside her. At this moment, she could not bear it any longer. She had been in the same position for too long, and she felt that all the bones in her body were stiff.
"Miss... are you okay?" While talking, she moved her body slightly. She was numb everywhere, and the feeling of moving was really special and indescribable.
"What a ghost, look at your lady's body, is there any place that looks healthy?" Mo Lingling said angrily.
This was the first time Chunying saw her young lady not controlling her emotions like this, and when she spoke, her face was ferocious and looked terrifying. She wanted to say something, but now she dared not speak again. Forget it, it's better to be numb than to lose her life. No matter how uncomfortable it is, she can only endure it. Who made the master unhappy
Mo Lingling was feeling aggrieved at the moment. Seeing Chunying's hesitant look as if she wanted to say something, she simply pushed the teacup on the table away and hit Chunying.
"Why, even you want to laugh at me? No matter how unlucky or miserable I am, I am still your master. Don't forget that your indenture is still in my hands. If you want to look down on me, you have to think twice!"
"Miss, Miss, I didn't. I grew up with you and have served you for so many years. I respect you from the bottom of my heart and I definitely don't want to make fun of you. I know that you are very talented. Even without those so-called support, you are still outstanding. I have always been proud to follow you and serve you. I definitely don't have any other thoughts. Miss, calm down, Miss, calm down."
Chunying didn't care about the numbness in her body. She showed her loyalty with tears in her eyes and kowtowed repeatedly, fearing that Mo Lingling would misunderstand her.
Looking at Chunying like this, Mo Lingling also calmed down a little. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, get up. I'm just in a bad mood and feel suffocated." The implication was that the anger just now was just for venting, nothing else.
As a slave, no matter it is grace or punishment, no matter whether the master is right or wrong, you can only accept it.
"I understand. I know that young lady is not feeling well. It's okay for you to spank me. Please don't hold it in. It will make you sick. I feel bad for you."
"You want to beat me up now? Impossible." She had crawled out of a pile of corpses and had endured all kinds of suffering. She would never succumb to fate until the very last moment.
"Go check what happened today. By the way, find out if there is anything major happening recently."
"Yes, miss."
Chunying hurriedly got up and walked out. When she reached the door, Mo Lingling called her again, "Chunying."
"Miss, please give me your orders."
Mo Lingling raised her hand and took off the earrings she was wearing. "I'll give you this pair of spiritual jade earrings. You have worked hard serving me for so many years. I know your loyalty and I will not treat you unfairly." After saying that, she stood up, walked to Chunying, and put the earrings on her ears.
"Thank you for the reward, young lady." Lingyu is helpful in absorbing spiritual energy, and it can help improve cultivation. It is a rare good thing. Feeling the warmth coming from her ears, Chunying felt happy.
"Go do something."
"Don't worry, young lady. I will never let you down."
Looking at Chunying leaving, Mo Lingling looked contemptuous. Giving a slap in the face and then giving her a sweet date was the master's usual way of employing people. Only by combining kindness and severity can the servants work harder and make him feel at ease.
Feng Tianming's case was different from the Mo family's. Because there was irrefutable evidence, the death penalty was executed the day after Feng Tianming was arrested. The speed was so fast that people felt caught off guard. Feng Gu had never expected that the case would be solved so quickly, without even giving them the slightest chance to react.
Feng Tianming, the master of Fenggu, just disappeared from this land. It makes people sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.
"What?" Feng Yin listened to the servant's report with a look of disbelief.
How could this happen? Feng Tianming died just like that
How did things develop so quickly
"As far as I know, there was a witness who directly identified him, and also provided an image stone. The evidence is irrefutable, so... Miss, please accept my condolences."
"I understand. You guys can leave now."
Feng Yin didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment, but to outsiders, she looked quite sad.
In fact, it was true, but she was not worried about Feng Tianming's death, but what should she do with her mother after Feng Tianming's death. After all, only Feng Tianming knew her mother's whereabouts. She had originally thought about going to the prison to talk about it today, hoping to get some clues about her mother's whereabouts from Feng Tianming. What should she do now
"Miss, the elders are waiting in the meeting room."
With Feng Tianming's death, Fenggu was leaderless. I guess some people can't hold back any longer.
"Is the Great Elder here too?"
When Feng Tianming was alive, the Great Elder had already had ulterior motives. Now that Feng Tianming is dead, he should be the first one to jump out.
"To answer the young lady, it is the people that the Great Elder is worried about. They said... they said that Fenggu cannot be without a leader for a day. Since the old valley master is... gone, they should immediately elect a new person to manage the affairs of the valley and handle... handle the affairs after the old valley master's death."
He is really impatient. Feng Tianming's body is not even cold yet, but the elder can't wait any longer. Haha, I really don't know whether I should feel sad for Feng Tianming.
Just then, a servant came running in hurriedly and said that there was a young man outside who wanted to see him.
"Sir? Did you tell me your name?"
"In reply to the young lady, she didn't tell me her name, but just asked me to pass on a note, saying that she would know after reading it."
Then the servant handed the note over to Feng Yinyin.
In the meeting room, five elders sat upright. Two of them were talking to the chief elder in a flattering manner. It seemed that they had been bribed by the chief elder.
The third and fifth elders looked at the scene in front of them without saying a word, drinking their tea.
"Brother, you said before that Feng Tianming's behavior was deviant and his style was not right, but we didn't believe it at that time. Now, the Law Enforcement Department has caught him and he is dead. If he had listened to your advice and repented earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this today." The fourth elder said with a flattering look on his face, and the second elder echoed him.
"Yes, you didn't listen to your elders and suffered the consequences. You relied on yourself as the Valley Master and caused trouble for Big Brother a lot in the past. Now, you are suffering the consequences."
"If you ask me, the position of the head of this family should have been given to my eldest brother. My eldest brother is knowledgeable and resourceful. If he had been the head of this family, Fenggu might not be the same as it was today."
"Yes, yes, if my eldest brother had taken the position of head of this family, Feng Tianming wouldn't have ended up like this."
You and I were talking back and forth, all of our words were to curry favor with the Great Elder, and the Great Elder knew it in his heart, but he didn't mind. According to his seniority and status in Fenggu, he felt that it was normal for others to curry favor with him, and he quite enjoyed this feeling.
"The position of the head of this family is vacant now. The previous head of the family had few descendants, and only had a girl. She can't achieve anything."
"Fourth Brother, what you said is wrong. Even if the previous head of the family has a son, his qualifications cannot be compared with that of the eldest brother. In my opinion, the position of the head of the family should belong to the eldest brother."
"Right, right, right, second brother, what you said makes sense. I am just being stupid. I hope that eldest brother won't blame me."
"I think what the fourth elder said is indeed wrong." This time it was the third elder who spoke up. The third elder was upright and had always been optimistic about Feng Yinyin. "What about boys and girls? As long as they have the ability, even girls can achieve something. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. The future still needs to be written by young people. No matter how hard we old bones work, this life is just like this. But those young people are different. They still have a future and unlimited possibilities. Yinyin is also a leader among the younger generation. There are only a few people on this dream island who can be compared with Yinyin. For so many years, she has been doing things for the head of the valley, managing everything inside and outside. That thing is not done well enough. When you are old, you can raise fish and plant flowers and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren. Why bother to compete with young people and make people laugh at you. You have lived a beautiful life, don't tarnish your own face at the end of your life and ruin your reputation. This is not worth it."
The Third Elder spoke slowly, which made the First Elder and his companions very angry, especially the impatient Fourth Elder, who immediately jumped out, walked in front of the Third Elder and pointed at his nose.
"You, you, you... What do you mean by that? What do you mean? Who are you calling shameless? Don't think I can't tell just because you're kidding me. Explain what you're saying clearly!"
