C4368 Report to the Higher-ups!
The sudden appearance of a small deacon broke the harmonious scene, and a good show was about to be put on.
"Oh?" Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhang Hu and the others with a faint smile.
Gu Feng did not hide it at all, "There's a good show to watch."
"Hehe." Qin He also laughed.
The group of Tribulation Transcenders were all calm and composed as they looked at how the show was going to continue. It was quite interesting.
Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he did not immediately make a move. Instead, he looked leisurely at Zhang Hu and Xu Dande, observing their expressions.
As the leaders of Cloud Breaking Peak, it would be strange if they did not have some dirty tricks up their sleeves.
"Third City Lord, I want to expose Zhang Hu for corruption and abuse of power. Third City Lord, please make the decision for me."
Seeing that no one reacted, the deacon who stood out repeated again. His voice was loud and clear, but it carried a bit of trembling and fear.
To file a complaint, one needed a lot of courage.
Chen Xiao saw Zhang Hu's expression change drastically, and he was quite angry. He quickly restrained himself and did not dare to act out immediately. It was obvious that he had held back.
Heh, this person could endure. It seemed that if he did not speak, Zhang Hu would not make a move.
Forget it, let him see what exactly was going on.
Chen Xiao's gaze was arrogant and cold. He took a step forward and said coldly, "Lift your head up. What's your name?"
"Li, Big Yong Li."
Facing Chen Xiao's terrifying aura, Big Yong Li was terrified, and his expression changed several times.
Big Yong Li's name was not bad.
His gaze focused, and he questioned, "Big Yong Li, do you know that it is a taboo to report a crime? If it is proven to be false, it will be a serious crime, and you will be severely punished."
Hearing this, Big Yong Li panicked a little. He was extremely afraid, but very quickly, he mustered up his courage and raised his head to say, "Third City Lord, you are wise. I want to expose Zhang Hu for being greedy, accepting bribes, and opening the way for a merchant caravan to open a pass without permission."
"Oh? Interesting." Chen Xiao's smile was so bright that his eyes narrowed.
He thought that this kind of thing would be hidden and not made known, but he didn't expect that it would be exposed at the beginning.
Sure enough, there was something fishy about this.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd behind him held back their laughter, waiting to watch a good show.
Zhang Hu was so scared that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly defended himself, "Third City Lord, he is talking nonsense. You must not believe this guy's slander. Someone must have framed me. This guy has bad intentions."
At this time, Xu Da De also stood out, "Is it a false accusation or bad intentions? The Third City Lord will decide for himself. Zhang Hu, could it be that you are really guilty and have a guilty conscience?"
"No, no, the Third City Lord is wise and observant. How could he …" Zhang Hu was stunned, and his mouth opened and he was stunned on the spot.
If it was possible, his eyes could kill Xu Dande dozens or even hundreds of times.
"Quiet." Chen Xiao shouted coldly.
The two people who were about to fight were finally quiet.
"Whether it is a false accusation or not, I will judge for myself. Li Dayong, do you have evidence?"
"Yes." Li Dayong replied, "Third City Lord, please take a look. This is a secret account book. There are also witnesses. As long as Third City Lord can find them, you will know the truth."
Chen Xiao took the secret account book from Li Dayong and looked at it carefully. There were really many loopholes. There were billions of immortal jades in it.
Even he was shocked. What a big dog's guts. He actually dared to embezzle billions of immortal jades. This was extremely hateful. This was the wealth of the Purple Cloud City, but now it had fallen into the private pocket of a person. It was truly hateful.
On the secret account book, there were records one by one. It was very detailed, to the point that it was unbelievable.
"The records on the account book are so detailed. Is there any falsehood?" Chen Xiao questioned.
"There are only a few, no more." Li Dayong said.
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and shouted, "Somebody, go and get the witnesses. Don't wrong the good people."
"Yes."
Immediately, a few deacons went to find the witnesses according to the records on the secret account book.
Chen Xiao paid attention to Zhang Hu's expression. Although he was uneasy, he was not too flustered, as if he had something up his sleeves.
Heh, this is a bit interesting.
Taking the opportunity, he asked again, "The records on the book are so detailed. How did you do it? Could it be that you also participated in it?"
Li Dayong's expression changed drastically. He looked at Xu Dande at the side, and uncontrollably, beads of sweat flowed down his forehead.
"This..."
"To be honest." Chen Xiao asked.
Li Dayong swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes, I participated in these things. Not only me, but also many deacons participated in it. But I know that this is wrong, so I waited until today to expose Zhang Hu. I beg you, Lord, to be merciful and help me seek justice."
When these words came out, it shocked everyone.
Gu Feng and the others did not expect that Li Dayong would actually dare to admit that he participated in it. He was truly courageous.
At this time, Zhang Hu was furious and cursed, "Li Dayong, you brat, you destroyed yourself to slander me. Pui, you little bastard, I will kill you today."
At this point, both sides had already revealed their cards. They no longer pretended, and they had to fight to the death.
It had to be said that Li Dayong did not hesitate to destroy himself and report it to Zhang Hu. It was truly shocking and moving. No one knew how much hatred he had for Zhang Hu.
However, it gave people the feeling of a dog biting a dog. It was truly laughable.
Before his voice faded, Zhang Hu jumped out of desperation and attacked. A dense killing intent condensed on his body, and a blue shadow appeared, forming a fierce hand that grabbed at Li Dayong.
"Hmph."
Chen Xiao's face turned cold, and with a cold snort, he did not make a move.
In the next moment, Zhang Hu's body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out blood, and the blue hand that was condensed also shattered with a bang, disappearing into nothingness.
"Zhang Hu, why did you hurt someone? If you are innocent, how could I wrongly accuse you?" Chen Xiao questioned.
Zhang Hu's face was filled with confusion and hesitation. He sat on the ground, his heart as if it had died, as if he had lost his parents.
He knew that the situation had already changed. He had not been able to hold back and had already made a huge mistake.
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhang Hu.
"Zhang Hu, do you know your crime?" Chen Xiao asked again.
Zhang Hu sighed and crawled up from the ground with difficulty. He glared at Xu Dahei and said gloomily, "Xu Dahei, I didn't expect you to be so tolerant. You didn't reach out your hand, and you didn't make a move against me, just to wait for today, to give me a fatal blow? You succeeded, but I lost."
Xu Dahei ignored him and bowed to Chen Xiao. He said, "Third City Lord, this person refused to admit his crimes, so I ordered someone to testify and confront him. He will be clear."
