Chapter 347: Chapter 68: The End! Zhantian Cuts Off the Celestial Beingâs Arm (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
âYes, My Lord City Guard.â
Wang Dingzu responded with composure.
Then with a wave of his hand, several soldiers escorted Ding Youde into the room.
Wang Dingzu declared, âThis man, Ding Youde, is the Second Shopkeeper of Wealth Casino. He is my informer who has accused Wealth Casino, Beautiful Manor, and the former Ma Huangfuâs Family of hiding minions of the Yinsha Sect!â
In his life, Ding Youde has never seen such a large gathering of prominent people.
He immediately knelt down, trembling, âI am Ding Youde and I have been working in Wealth Casino for twenty years.â
Although he was not a significant figure, he was somewhat notorious in Changning, known for his ruthless debt collection and cruel tactics. Many of those present had heard of him, or even knew him.
âIndeed itâs Ding Youde.â
Whispers of confirmation about Ding Youdeâs identity helped validate his presence.
âMy Lord City Guard, in addition to Ding Youde, Huang Huaiâan, the Store Manager of Wealth Casino, has also been arrested,â Wang Dingzu reported solemnly, âUpon initial interrogation, Huang Huaiâan fully admitted to his crimes and implicated the Great Steward of Splendid Mountain Villa and Huangfu Deyun of the former Ma Huangfuâs Family.â
With that, he handed a signed and sealed confession to Xiahou Hongde, âPlease review it, My Lord City Guard.â
Xiahou Hongde took a look.
Indeed, the confession was complete and legally valid.
Instantly, his face changed, and he looked at Huangfu Deyun with an unhappy expression.
Previously, due to the lack of evidence, he had stopped Zhou Zhenwu from arresting anyone. Unexpectedly, less than half an hour had passed, and Wang Dingzu had already thrown evidence right in their faces.
Huangfu Jinhuan quickly stepped forward to protest, âMy Lord City Guard, Wang Dingzu is a member of the Wang Family. He should not be allowed to intervene in this case, neither legally nor morally.â
âLord City Guard,â Wang Dingzu retorted coldly, â I was merely acting upon a tip-off about potential treachery involving Wealth Casino, Splendid Mountain Villa, and Ma Huangfuâs Family. I am simply carrying out an investigation according to law and performing my duty. What does this have to do with the Wang Family?â
Huangfu Jinhuanâs face fell as he struggled to retaliate, âThe people from Wealth Casino are nothing but rabble. Itâs rather hasty for General Wang to want to make arrests based solely on their words, isnât it? If itâs so easy, I could find a hundred beggars to say that the Wang family is in league with the Yinsha Sect. Would you also want to arrest Wang Shouzhe?â
âThere is no evidence connected to the Celestial Huangfu Family in this case. Why is the Huangfu Clan making such a fuss?â Wang Dingzu commented calmly, âI wouldnât have come to make arrests just based on hearsay. Bring me the physical evidence.â
With a wave of his hand, two soldiers brought in a big box of account books.
Wang Dingzu reported methodically, âThese are the account books that Wealth Casino and Splendid Mountain Villa failed to destroy. Although their bookkeeping is covert, some transactions are suspicious. Upon investigation, they all point to purchases of Yinsha Sect disciplesâ cultivation materials on Hundred Island Guard Black Market, eventually ending up at the Splendid Mountain Villa. All the accounts can be matched. Master Huangfu, if you want to review the detailed evidence, please apply according to the Great Drying Law at the City Guard Mansion.â
âIn addition, we have sealed off Splendid Mountain Villa where traces of Yinsha Sectâs living and cultivation can be found,â Wang Dingzu continued calmly, âThe evidence on the surface alone is enough to make the arrest. Once we interrogate thoroughly, we will be able to reveal the ins and outs of the whole thing.â
All the evidence, both testimonial and material, were ready.
With an authoritative expression, City Guard Xiahou Hongde turned to Huangfu Deyun: âMaster Huangfu Deyun, the evidence in General Wangâs hands is abundant. I would advise you to go with him.â
âRest assured, Lord City Guardâ Wang Dingzu stated, âAs long as we arrest Huangfu Deyun and his associates, I assure you that I will investigate this matter thoroughly and not let a single criminal escape.â
Upon hearing these words, not only did Huangfu Deyunâs face turn pale, but Huangfu Jinhuan and the old Ancestor Hua Ye also changed color simultaneously.
If Huangfu Deyun were to break under the strain of the investigationâŠ
Xu Anbang, the head of the Changning Xu Family, sneered with disdain, âHuangfu Deyun, I thought you were someone important. Who would have thought that you really were in cahoots with the Yinsha Sect?â
He then bowed slightly and said, âMy Lord City Guard, in my view, a Grade Eight Prominent Family like Huangfuâs has limited power. How could they have such deep ties with the Yinsha Sect? I ask you, My Lord City Guard, to thoroughly investigate this matter for the long-term peace of Changning and give us back a peaceful world!â
The head of the Celestial Lei Family, Lei Yangyu, also seized the moment to strike, âThe former Ma Huangfuâs Family has always looked up to the Celestial Huangfu Family. If they claim that the Celestial Huangfu Family had no idea about this, I am the first to disbelieve.â
âYouâre randomly accusing and slandering our Celestial Huangfu Family,â Huangfu Jinhuan exclaimed angrily, growing more flustered.
If City Lord Xiahou Hongde was determined to investigate this matter, even if the Celestial Huangfu Family had hidden their tracks deep enough, they would be exposed.
At that moment, the Old Ancestor Hua Yeâs face gradually kindled with anger. In a fit of rage, he laughed, âGood, good, good. Our Huangfu Family has always been dedicated to protecting Da Qian, but I didnât expect that a collateral family would harbor such degenerates. I was wrong, I failed to manage them properly.â
With that said!
An overwhelming aura emanated from him. With a flicker, he was in front of Huangfu Deyun. He raised his hand imbued with swirling flames and struck towards Huangfu Deyunâs head, âOn behalf of our Huangfu familyâs ancestors, I will purge you, you disgrace.â
