Chapter 403 Aftercare
"Du Du..." A clear knock on the door sounded. Luo Yuchen put down the teacup, raised his head, and answered, "Come in, Mei Jian."
"See Mr. Luo!" Because of Luo Yuchen's repeated requests, Mei Jian and others have changed the rules of kowtowing. After entering the door, they just held their fists slightly and saluted. Luo Yuchen nodded, sat up straight, and asked, "Is everything solved?" Those rebels who committed rebellion have already been punished? So fast?"
From the time he came back from the overpass to now, Luo Yuchen hasn't even finished a cup of tea. Mei Jian has been chasing after him to report it. This speed is indeed a little fast. However, Luo Yuchen just asked casually and didn't think too much. Unexpectedly, after he opened his mouth, Mei Jian's face changed slightly, and he looked like he wanted to stop: "Well, this... Mr. Luo, the task you assigned has not been completed. Please punish me..."
"Oh? What's going on?" Luo Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Is it possible that those guys are still not honest and dare to resist orders?" Mei Jian shook his head and whispered, "No, those people in the thirty-six holes and seventy-two islands have all given up resistance. No one dares to jump out and make waves."
"It's just that Mr. Luo, for what you put forward before, let every rebel who is involved in human life be punished by cutting off one arm. Master Xuannan, Mr. Xuzhu, and the Mr. Duan you just invited seem to have some opinions. They persuaded their subordinates to plead for those rebels, and they can't. It's too much to contradict them..."
"Master Xuannan, Brother Xuzhu, and Mr. Duan Yu and Mr. Duan, three people plead for mercy together?" Luo Yuchen's eyebrows also frowned slightly. He had long known that these three guys were soft-hearted and good people. Unexpectedly, this time, they actually made trouble for themselves. If they had known, they would not have asked Duan Yu to stay as a guest: "Well, what did they say?"
Mei Jian shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's all empty words and cliché, that is, 'the law does not blame the public', 'God has the virtue of good life', 'when will the injustice be retribution' and so on. Anyway, it means that we have punished so many people at one time and let fifty or sixty martial arts masters break their arms together, which is too much."
As he spoke, Mei Jian was also paying attention to Luo Yuchen's reaction intentionally or unintentionally. His eyes flashed slightly. After realing this, Luo Yuchen's heart suddenly moved and asked, "Well, so, Mei Jian, what do you mean? Or, what do the remaining sisters in Juntianbu think?
"I, my subordinate's opinion?" Mei Jian hesitated for a moment, and then replied hesitantly, "I feel that there is also a certain reason for Master Xuannan and others..."
"Sure enough!" Luo Yuchen's heart lit up and did not feel too surprised. After all, among the four people of Meilan Zhuju, Mei Jian's character is the strongest and also the most independent one. If she hadn't agreed with it in her heart, she would not have been affected by the persuasion of Xuannan and Xuzhu. Thinking of this, Luo Yuchen shrugged his shoulders slightly and asked, "Well, what do you say?"
After sneaking an eye observation, he found that Luo Yuchen showed no sign of anger. Mei Jian was slightly relieved and said without delay, "Indeed, in the past three months, because of the chaos of those guys outside, our sisters of Juntianbu paid a certain amount. The casualties. During the last discussion, subordinates and others were also affected by this, so they decided to pay tit for tooth and blood for blood.
"But now, after the rebellions of the thirty-six holes and seventy-two islands were captured, my subordinates found a problem. That is, admit, or think that the number of rebels who think they are infected with blood debt is wrong, which greatly exceeds the number of dead sisters!"
Hearing this, Luo Yuchen also nodded slightly, but remembered that before, in the information given to him by Mei Jian, the death data listed was only more than 30. However, at this moment, on the other side of the overpass, he stood up and admitted that he had killed and injured people, but there were as many as sixty or seventy people. Such a number is really not right: "What's going on? I remember that in the report you submitted to me before, it seemed that the blood feud of every dead person was recorded very clearly?
"Well, this is actually not very clear. After all, when casualties occur, it is basically the most fierce battle and the scene is the most chaotic. Even if you can notice the situation of the dead sisters, it is easy to misread and remember. Moreover, many sisters died in the siege, or were seriously injured first, and then killed by others. Sometimes, not to mention us busy bystanders, even the people who did it, I'm afraid it is not clear whether their attack just now was seriously injured or killed their opponents..." /P>
"Well, I understand. No wonder people who have more than double the number of deaths take the initiative to stand up from the head." Luo Yuchen frowned and said that he was partly responsible for the current situation - when Zuo Zimu stood up and wanted to muddle through, Luo Yuchen was too decisive and too cold, which must have caused great psychological pressure on later people... P>
"In this way, Si Kongxuan's group of people not only did not kill in the previous battle, but even had almost no heavy hands. Otherwise, they would not have such a high heart to stand up..." Luo Yuchen frowned and felt a little headache. Except for Sikongxuan's group, It can be said that in addition to "innocent" people, the rest of the people think they are guilty. You can't let the people on this side run over and tell them that you have made a mistake. You didn't kill anyone, so you don't have to be punished with a broken arm, right?
"Mr. Luo, I have something to say." Just as Luo Yuchen hesitated, Mei Jian opened his mouth again: "I think that there is a certain truth in the statement that the law does not blame the public. After all, these people are the peripheral forces of our vulture palace. If more than half of them are abolished now, it is inevitable that it will also be the whole of our vulture palace. Strength has a great impact.
Speaking of this, Mei Jian paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then summoned up his courage and said his opinion: "My subordinates are brave, please change a lighter way of punishment!"
Luo Yuchen didn't say anything, but suddenly asked, "So, what about the wind tunnel owner who has broken his arm?" Mei Jian looked happy. Luo Yuchen asked, and almost accepted his opinion. without thinking, she replied, "Just compensate him casually!"
"All right!" Luo Yuchen shrugged his shoulders and wanted to say, then I'll leave the matter of setting the punishment standard to you. However, when it came to his mouth, his heart moved slightly and suddenly changed his words: "Well, let's put aside the punishment for these guys first. When your new palace owner comes back, let her deal with this in person. Everything is fine at home! Well, and, go and call the wind tunnel owner over!"
After saying that, Luo Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, but his eyes fixed on Mei Jian and carefully observed her reaction. However, Mei Jian did not seem to have any abnormal performance. Hearing that Luo Yuchen adopted his opinion, she was slightly happy, she answered happily and turned around.
Looking at Mei Jian's back leaving, Luo Yuchen touched his chin thoughtfully: "There is nothing abnormality. Is it because I think too much... Perhaps, it's just because the number of casualties in this turmoil is relatively small, and it doesn't make them feel painful like in the original plot, which makes them feel compassionate. , plead for those rebellious people..."
Yes, because Luo Yuchen fooled Su Xinghe, Xuannan and other masters up the mountain in advance, in this doomed turmoil, the casualties of the Spirit Vulture Palace were greatly reduced - in the original work, the Juntian disciples who stayed in the Spirit Vulture Palace were almost killed and injured. And now, not even a tenth...
On the bank of the "overpass", the atmosphere was still very tense. Although all of them had been captured, the people on the side of the Vulture Palace did not relax their vigilance, and even Sikong Xuan and others did not let them go. Instead, they also stopped them on the other side and stayed with the remaining people with blood debts. Together.
In fact, Sikong Xuan and others are fine, and they are relatively relaxed. Those who are really nervous are still the left Taoists who are waiting for the verdict of fate - I don't know why, after Mei Jian came back, he did not announce the news that Luo Yuchen had decided to let them go for the time being, but just expressionless. He called the wind tunnel owner who had broken his arm in advance, and then took him up the mountain again. Therefore, the left Taoists who stayed on the opposite side of the overpass are still worried about gains and losses, and their hearts have been hanging in mid-air...
"Alas, it's been so long, I'm afraid it's impossible..." A low and depressing sigh suddenly sounded, breaking the almost frozen depression and silence in the "sinner": "Otherwise, let's accept our fate, Mr. Luo, why doesn't he seem to be a talkative person? Don't get it to the end. Not only did he not avoid the pain of breaking his arm, but he also had to be punished..."
"Well, there are no bold bandits, and no one is pulling you now. You can do it now. If you break your arm, you can naturally stand on Sikong Xuan's side. You don't need to take risks with us!"
