Secret Dice Chapter 239

Chapter 239 (4000) Mr. Lu, you don't want people from southern Xinjiang to cause trouble in the city, right?

 When Luo Jun and others rushed to the Governor's Mansion, they were told that Mr. Lu was meeting with the five elders of Southern Xinjiang.

"Fifth Elder?" Tie Jinggang looked at Liu Si and asked, "Who is he?"

“He is considered the second-largest person in Yunzhou City in Southern Xinjiang.” Liu Si explained: “If the great witch is the emperor, this fifth elder is the assistant minister.”

 “Is it easy to talk?” Luo Jun asked.

Liu Si shook his head: "I have never been in contact with him. Master Hou has dealt with him several times. His evaluation is that he is a rigid and stubborn old man who pays special attention to the interests of people in southern Xinjiang. He is not a bad person, but it is difficult to communicate with him."

“Uncle Hou has a relatively easy-going personality, so I can get along with him fairly well.”

Luo Jun nodded: "But the great witch is gone, so what he said is the best, right?"

"When the great witch was here, he had the final say." Liu Si said: "The great witch who died was transferred here three years ago. Before him, the number one figure in Southern Border in Yunzhou City also changed several times. But this fifth elder has been in charge of Yunzhou for many years... Many people believe that he is the real powerful figure in southern Xinjiang! "

“It's up to you!” Luo Jun nodded and said to the messenger: “My lord, please inform Mr. Lu and tell Bainamen that there is something urgent and you need to see him.”

Seeing that the messenger was hesitant, he handed him a piece of silver, which was the half piece that had not been converted into copper coins before. After seeing the money, the messenger immediately drove in with a smile and reported it.

"Don't worry." Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Master Lu wants to take advantage of our Bainamen, so he has to pay a price."

The people in Bainamen looked at each other, and Luo Jun guessed right. Tie Jinggang and Liu Si winked at Luo Jun, it's your turn.

"This...isn't this embarrassing for me..." As he spoke, Mr. Lu pointed to the skinny old man beside him: "By the way, let me introduce to you, this is the fifth elder of Southern Xinjiang... these are from Bainamen. Master…”

"Bainamen?" The fifth elder narrowed his eyes: "Isn't that Hou Song from your sect?"

 “If you want to ask someone for help, what's wrong with this attitude?”

As expected, it didn't take long for someone to report back, and Mr. Lu invited them in.

Luo Jun looked at the skinny old man in front of him, smiled slightly, and summoned the secret dice in his mind.

Mr. Lu spread his hands towards everyone in Bainamen: "As you can see, I didn't mean to embarrass Hou Song. This matter is really not a trivial matter, and Southern Xinjiang also attaches great importance to it... If you really want to prove his innocence for him, you still have to give him enough money to make things difficult for him." Come with convincing evidence..."

“You say it's irrelevant, so it's irrelevant?” The fifth elder snorted coldly: “The people of the Central Plains are the most cunning. You and yourselves are perjuring each other, who can prove the truth? I can only trust my mind-inducing Gu!”

"If he really wants Bainamen to help, he probably won't refuse." Luo Jun was very confident: "Even if he doesn't let me, Uncle Tie, who can stop us if we break in?"

"Hmph!" The fifth elder shook the crutch in his hand: "Why bother? Leave the person to us and put the mind poison down, and no one can lie!"

"Oh, Fifth Elder... I've been hit by a mind-melting poison. Not to mention that I can't live. If I die, the land will be ruined for burial..." Mr. Lu waved his hands hurriedly and said: "Besides, you don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so I suggest you do it. Only with conclusive evidence and finding out the real culprit who killed the great witch can we comfort his spirit in heaven..."

"Master Lu, my uncle is really unjust!" Liu Si requested: "It's not just me this time, this is our sect's uncle Tie, as well as the outstanding disciples in the sect. Please give Uncle Hou an explanation..."

"Oh, Fifth Elder, I told you, it always takes time to solve the case..." Mr. Lu explained to the skinny old man: "We have arrested all the suspects and are interrogating them strictly..."

 In the living room, on one side was Mr. Lu in official uniform, and on the other side was a skinny old man in southern Xinjiang clothing and wearing a cane.

While speaking, Mr. Lu noticed Liu Si and others, his eyes lit up, and then he said with a bitter face: "Oh, Liu Si, why are you so persistent? I already told you that there is no need to discuss this matter..."

“The reception over there hasn't been completed yet, will Mr. Lu let us in?” Tie Jingang asked.

Tie Jinggang nodded: "Exactly, and Hou Song has been handling affairs in the sect last night and never left. We can all testify that it must have nothing to do with the death of the great witch..."

Different from Luo Jun's stereotype of ancient officials, this Mr. Lu is not a middle-aged and elderly man with a three-part beard and a gentle manner. He looks to be in his thirties, short, chubby, and has swollen eyes. The flesh on his face was so crowded that he looked like he was always smiling. If it weren't for the official uniform, no one would think that such a harmless guy could be a frontier official of the imperial court.

"You want to see the fifth elder?" Liu Si frowned: "Forget it... Mr. Lu may not be able to persuade him. If we go in, it will easily intensify the conflict..."

"Just go in and watch my performance later. You guys cooperate appropriately." Luo Jun whispered on the way. Although Tie Jinggang and Liu Si didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, this kid had clear ideas along the way, and they really didn't have anything. If you have any idea, just listen to him first.

 “Convince the Fifth Elder to let Hou Song go!”

 Use intermediate point correction!

 Two pairs of dice were rolled, and the final pair stopped at 3 o'clock, and the other pair was at 90 o'clock!

 Good guy, it's either a success or a big failure... Luo Jun sweated secretly and chose 90 points.

“Ding, the event difficulty is 99 points, the final point is 90+15 points, the event is successful!”

 With the dice for counting, Luo Jun had confidence in his heart.

According to Mr. Lu's idea, in order to rescue Hou Song, Bainamen must help solve the case and prove his innocence. But in Luo Jun's eyes, the essence of this matter is still the owner of the suffering, that is, whether the people of Southern Xinjiang pursue the case. As long as he can convince the fifth elder, then Master Hou will be fine.

Of course, with the stubbornness and rigidity of the Fifth Elder, it would be difficult for most people to persuade them... But no matter how difficult it is, as long as the success rate is not zero, Tianji Dice can turn things around!

 What does it mean to draw fire from under the cauldron?

“Fifth Elder, I just heard that you have a heart-destroying Gu. Can you verify the true culprit?” Luo Jun asked.

"That's right!" There was a trace of pride on the face of the fifth elder: "That is the poisonous poison used to torture our enemies in southern Xinjiang. After taking it, within six hours, you will tell the truth to anything you ask. After six hours, your whole body will rot. And die!"

"It's really amazing!" Luo Jun gave a thumbs up: "Does using the heart-destroying Gu on our Master Hou prove his innocence?"

The fifth elder was slightly startled: "If he used the heart-destroying Gu and could admit that he did not do it, then I would definitely believe in his innocence, but in that case, he would not survive six hours..."

 “Okay, let's use it!” Luo Jun nodded in agreement. "Huh?!" Everyone present showed black question marks on their faces, and even the fifth elders wondered if they had heard wrongly.

“Did you hear clearly?” The fifth elder said: “After using the heart-destroying Gu, six hours later...”

"You will die, I understand!" Luo Jun said: "In order to prove the innocence of our Bainamen, I think it is worth a try! If after using it, Hou Song admits that he was the one who killed him, then he will be worthy of his death!"

“It is natural to kill someone to pay for life, not to mention that the person who killed him was the great witch from southern Xinjiang. He not only put Bainamen in crisis, but also destroyed the peace that had been maintained for decades in the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang. His heart is to be punished!”

The fifth elder swallowed, looked at the young man, and then at Tie Jingang and Liu Si behind him: "Does this kid mean what he says?"

The two of them were a little unresponsive, looking at Luo Jun dumbfounded...

"But!" Luo Jun changed his tone: "If after using it, it proves that Master Hou is innocent, what will happen?"

"This..." The fifth elder was slightly startled: "If a good person is wronged, we will naturally compensate him..."

"Compensation?" Luo Jun raised his voice: "That's a human life, what can I do with it? How about compensation for human life?"

"Well, let me tell you the math. Hou Song is the purple-robed deacon of our Baina Sect and is in charge of the Yunzhou branch. Although he doesn't have many people under his command, he is also a representative of the powerful party in the sect. His status and power are no less than An elder. In order to prove our so-called innocence, our Bainamen lost an elder. Why, does Southern Xinjiang also have to lose an elder? "

“The fifth elder is not planning to take his own life, right?”

"You!" The fifth elder raised his eyebrows and stood up with a cane: "Where is this young boy from? Can you represent Bainamen? There is no one in Bainamen?"

The fifth elder released an invisible momentum. Although Luo Jun didn't take it seriously, considering his level of solid foundation, he still pretended that he couldn't bear it. He took two steps back and came behind Tie Jingang, and stabbed Tie Shi at the same time. Uncle.

 Tie Jinggang understood the idea, stepped forward, and released his momentum to withstand the pressure of the fifth elder.

 The fifth elder stared at Tie Jingang with his old eyes.

 This is a master! Not beneath me!

"I can represent it!" Tie Jingang said: "I am the purple-robed deacon of the Baina Sect. His words are what I mean!"

Seeing that he could no longer suppress it, the fifth elder also restrained his momentum: "What do you mean, your Excellency? Do you want me to take my life?"

"This..." Tie Jingang didn't know what Luo Jun meant, so he looked back at him.

"I am also making an analogy." Luo Jun stepped forward again: "But if Master Hou really dies under the heart-destroying poison, the relationship between Bainamen and Southern Xinjiang will be forged. Bainamen does not need to enter Southern Xinjiang. , people from southern Xinjiang, can you not come to the Central Plains? Can you feel safe when passing through Tongda Town?"

 The fifth elder frowned.

"Of course, there are only a thousand people in our Bainamen, which is not as large as the one hundred thousand mountains in southern Xinjiang. But for so many years, Bainamen has a wide network of people in the martial arts world of the Central Plains and has a good reputation. Our middle elder died in vain in southern Xinjiang. If it is in the hands of others, it is not just a matter of one person from the Baina Clan, it will slap the face of the entire Central Plains martial arts community. At that time, all sects and factions will be hostile to Southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains have been at peace for decades, and trade between the two places has prospered. Many southern Xinjiang people have made a living on this, and even settled in the Central Plains. If the hatred of the Central Plains martial arts community against the southern Xinjiang people is aroused, the Fifth Elder will not care about the safety of those compatriots. Already?"

The fifth elder looked at Luo Jun, hesitated for a few seconds, and sighed: "I don't want to do it all, but the death of the great witch is of great importance, and we must investigate it clearly."

"I also understand the fifth elder's mood." Luo Jun's tone also softened: "But you have also dealt with our Master Hou. Ask yourself, do you really believe that he will be the murderer of the great witch?"

"This..." Hou Song has an easy-going personality, a low-key behavior, and obeys the law. In the previous disputes between Nanjiang and Bainamen, the Fifth Elder and Hou Song came to mediate on behalf of both parties. It was originally difficult to deal with the fifth elder because of his temper, but after getting in touch with him, he spoke highly of Hou Song and felt that he was a sensible person.

Seeing the fifth elder's hesitation, Luo Jun struck while the iron was hot: "To be honest, this iron master uncle and more than fifty people including me all set out from the sect to celebrate his birthday at Yaowang Valley half a month ago. They just arrived yesterday. Yunzhou. With a team of dozens of people, plus carriages and horses, Master Hou was so busy trying to accommodate us that he didn't even have time to rest. How could he have the time to assassinate the great witch?”

"That's right!" Liu Si also said: "Uncle Hou did not leave the sect after receiving the team from the sect yesterday. You can verify this! When the people entered the sect yesterday afternoon, many people saw it. Our sect I am too busy with my own affairs..."

"We guarantee it with our sect's honor!" Tie Jin just stepped forward: "I was with him until midnight yesterday, and there was absolutely no chance of killing him!"

The fifth elder was silent for a while, and finally sighed and looked at Mr. Lu: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I really don't believe that Hou Song did this. I can't bear to wrong a good man, so let him go... But the other suspects, If the real culprit is not found by the time of the great witch's funeral, you will have to accept my heart-destroying Gu!”

"This..." Mr. Lu looked embarrassed, and the fifth elder held up his hands: "The death of the great witch is no small matter. If the real culprit is not caught, not only me, but also the Southern Xinjiang Headquarters will not give up. I have lived in Yunzhou City for many years, more than anyone else. We all know that peace is hard to come by. I hope you will pay attention to it and say goodbye!"

 After saying that, the fifth elder left on crutches.

As the fifth elder left, Luo Jun's mind sounded a reminder that the event was successful.

“Ding, the event was successful, the event difficulty was 99 points, the severity coefficient was seven times, and 693 experience points were gained.”

Smilingly accepting this large amount of experience, Luo Jun thought to himself that this secret dice is really easy to use. He does not think that his eloquence is good enough to impress the fifth elder. He believes that if there is no judgment of the dice to follow, even the same set of rhetoric may not be effective.

"Oh... I'm glad..." Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Hou has been cleared of suspicion... I... I will let him go now..."

“Wait a minute!” Luo Jun waved his hand: “Master Lu, I heard you right just now. Did the fifth elder say 'sorry' to you?”

 “Um…is there any?” Mr. Lu seemed a little nervous.

“I heard it too!” Tie Jingang snorted, and Liu Si nodded.

"The Fifth Elder allowed Master Hou to be released. Why do you have to apologize to Mr. Lu?" Luo Jun smiled and said, "Could it be that it was your intention to detain Master Hou? The Fifth Elder was entrusted by you to cooperate in the acting?"

"How...how is this possible?" Mr. Lu's fat face trembled slightly, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "Hou Song and I have been friends for so many years, and there is no grievance or enmity..."

"Master Lu, what you said is on point." Luo Jun smiled and said, "You and Master Hou have been friends for so many years. If you want our help, just say so. Isn't it inappropriate to do so?"
