Chapter 162: Suspicions in the Ancient City

After Chen Qiang entered the city, the heavy city gate slowly closed immediately.

When the city gate closed, the whole city seemed to have pressed the pause button. Everyone stopped everything they were doing and looked at the city gate.

In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Qiang.

"Hi, how are you?"

After a long moment of silence, Chen Qiang noticed that none of these people's eyes had shifted, so he smiled and said hello.

Wow!——

The crowd suddenly parted to both sides, and then, a group of soldiers wearing black armor slowly walked out surrounded by a middle-aged man.

The man had a majestic look on his face, and his whole body exuded the aura of being in a superior position.

On his waist hung a fine jade pendant with the word "City Lord" written on it.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, you are finally here!"

When Chen Qiang came closer, the man cupped his hands and said politely: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Finally, the imperial envoy is here!"

"Huh? Imperial envoy, what the hell?" Chen Qiang was confused when he heard this, but looking around, it seemed that there was no one else except himself.

So Chen Qiang pointed at himself and asked uncertainly: "Are you talking to me?"

After receiving confirmation from the middle-aged man in front of him who was suspected to be the city lord, Chen Qiang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times.

What's the matter with this special meow?

I met an old man who claimed to be Taoist Master Taixu before, and asked me to pass through the gate in a vague manner. It originally looked like an abandoned ancient city, but it turned out to be lively and prosperous, and now he is regarded as an imperial envoy?

Could it be that this is some kind of role-playing? Or is this the background of the characters in the first level?

"Ahem, yes, I am the imperial envoy. Please introduce this city and yourself first, so that I, the imperial envoy, can get to know you first."

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qiang had countless thoughts flashing through his mind, and then he admitted it generously.

"Yes, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, this is Fantasy City, and I am the city lord here, Jia Dawei." The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"Recently, a case occurred in this fantasy city, which was related to the royal family's face. The previous two verdicts failed to satisfy all parties."

"But since Your Majesty has sent the imperial envoy here, I believe this problem will be solved easily!"

Jia Dawei's vow made Chen Qiang feel a sense of mission in his heart.

It was as if he was really sent here by a big boss to help him and seek a trial result that would satisfy all parties.

"It's easy to say. I'm here in such a hurry that I need Laojiacheng to explain the case in detail." Chen Qiang has fully assumed the role.

Especially when he felt that he would be able to leave this place after solving the case, he became even more convinced that this should be the first level of the so-called breakthrough.

Soon, Chen Qiang, surrounded by the city lord and his escort team, arrived at the city lord's mansion.

After settling Hu Xiaoyou down, Jia Dawei told Chen Qiang about the case in detail in the study room of the city lord's mansion.

In fact, the case is very simple.

It is said that there was a scholar in Fantasy City. This scholar had a troubled wife in a village outside the city. With the support of his wife, he was able to study in peace and go to Beijing to take the exam.

Unexpectedly, not long after arriving in Beijing, bad news came that he had unfortunately died.

Unexpectedly, three years later, the imperial court sent envoys to inspect various places. Among them, the envoy who came to Illusion City was recognized as the scholar from the beginning.

At first he refused to admit it, but when his wife came, she immediately recognized him and told him so many details that he could not defend himself, so he was temporarily detained by the city lord.

Then the truth came out.

This scholar was the number one scholar in high school and was appreciated by the Holy Emperor, who wanted to marry the princess.

For the sake of his own future and a high salary, he lied about being unmarried. At the same time, he asked someone to send a letter to his wife at home, lying about his accidental death, and then married the princess.

I thought that this way, my wife would get married again, but I didn't expect that the other party had been widowed because of him. This time, he was sent by the Holy Spirit and was directly recognized.

In just a few days, this incident became known to the whole world, and the people were even more uproar.

This matter was reported back to the capital, and the Holy Emperor was furious. It was a matter of royal dignity. He ordered the Huanjing City Government Office to punish him severely. However, the results of two consecutive trials were rejected by the Holy Emperor. Only then did Chen Qiang appear.

After learning the whole story, Chen Qiang called him a scholar and a scumbag.

Then he looked at City Lord Jia and asked, "I already know the whole story of the case. So, can you tell me how the previous two judgments were made and the reason why the Holy Spirit rejected it?"

Jia Dawei agreed: "Of course."

Then he took out two copies of the imperial edict and handed them to Chen Qiang. At the same time, he said: "The first judgment was to give the original wife a generous sum of money as compensation and compensation. Both parties signed a supplementary letter of divorce."

"The second sentence was to bring the original wife back to the capital, which means that both of them are wanted and neither one will leave."

Regarding these two judgments, Chen Qiang did not directly express his views, but first looked at the imperial decree.

I saw an imperial edict that read: "Money is small but the power of the people is great. Once they are reconciled, how will the people of the world view the royal family?"

Another imperial edict read: "If the princess becomes a child, how can the royal family retain its dignity?"

At this moment, Jia Dawei whispered again: "In addition, the Holy Father also had an oral message, saying that the prince-in-law has great talents, and he still wants to reuse him in the future."

Chen Qiang frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bold idea, how about changing the emperor.

But this is just a thought. After all, this is the background of the story. It is still unclear whether there is an emperor or not.

"By the way, City Lord Jia, are these three people in Illusion City?" As the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is false. Chen Qiang was going to meet the parties involved and listen to their own descriptions.

"Everyone is here!" Jia Dawei was very happy to see that Chen Qiang had entered the state. He had long wanted to get rid of this hot potato.

"Okay, please take me there later. I want to talk to the princess and his wife respectively." Chen Qiang requested.

"Okay, Imperial Envoy, I will make arrangements right now." Jia Dawei waved his hand and motioned for Chen Qiang to follow him out.

Not long after, Chen Qiang followed Jia Dawei to a side hall of the city lord's palace.

There is a wide wooden table in this side hall, which is filled with tea and cakes.

"Sir, please take a seat!" Jia Dawei greeted enthusiastically, and then ordered his servants to pour tea.

"Please wait a moment, I will order someone to bring his wife first. Then I will go down first, so as not to delay your Excellency's trial."

"After you finish chatting with her, I will arrange for someone to invite the princess over."

With that said, Jia Dawei bowed his hands and stepped back.

Not long after, a woman who looked like a village woman walked in, but judging from her behavior, there was no timidity at all, and she seemed very generous.

After seeing Chen Qiang, he saluted and said directly: "If the Imperial Envoy can return Zheng Lang to me, this Jiuhan Jade Ruyi of the Earthly Immortal Xuanpin will be yours!"

Chen Qiang was stunned. He never expected that he would be bribed as soon as they met.
