70: Chapter 70 This person is definitely related to demonic cultivators
"Do you two know why I have invited you both here?"
Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen looked at the two of them, emphasizing the word "invited" slightly.
"Bureau Chief Sun, I do not know how I have offended the City Patrol Bureau?"
Song Lin asked in a low voice.
He thought about it; he should not have committed any offenses recently.
Besides, Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen had come to arrest him personally.
"Bureau Chief Sun, that person is indeed connected to Demonic Cultivators."
Zhang Zhihui said with a certain expression.
At this point, he could only grit his teeth and continue to slander Lin Ming.
He had to link Lin Ming to the Demonic Cultivators, whether it was true or not; only then would his Family have a way to get him out.
He did not believe his Family would just abandon him like this.
"Connected to Demonic Cultivators? Which dog eye of yours saw me connected to Demonic Cultivators?"
Lin Ming's voice rang out from outside the main hall.
Immediately after, Lin Ming walked into the main hall with Su Lianxue.
His gaze fell upon Zhang Zhihui and Song Lin.
Demonic Cultivators?
This Young Master Zhang's mouth is as stubborn as ever.
"Bureau Chief Sun, why did you release this person suspected of being a Demonic Cultivator?"
Zhang Zhihui was startled in his heart when he saw Lin Ming appear.
Looking at his appearance, he must have been released by the City Patrol Bureau.
"Zhang Zhihui, since you say this person is a Demonic Cultivator, then give this Bureau Chief an explanation: why is this person a Demonic Cultivator?"
Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen said in a deep voice.
He wanted to see just how far this Young Master Zhang could sophistically argue, framing a practitioner from Yuanxu Mountain.
This stumped Zhang Zhihui.
Because this was completely made up by him, and he did not know how to explain that Lin Ming was a Demonic Cultivator.
In the past, he never needed to explain such things; as long as he slapped a label on someone else, others would naturally handle the rest.
Now that he was asked to explain, how could he possibly do so?
But even so, Zhang Zhihui could not admit that he was just spouting nonsense; since he had already gone down this path, he naturally had to see it through to the end.
"Since Zhihui says this person is a Demonic Cultivator, he naturally has his reasons."
Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside.
Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Zhihui immediately showed joy, turned his head, and saw a middle-aged man walking in.
"Uncle."
Zhang Zhihui shouted.
This person was none other than Zhang Zhihui's uncle, and also the third Disciple of the Tianyuan Swordsman, Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun.
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun looked at Zhang Zhihui expressionlessly, then immediately saw Lin Ming and the other, lingering on Su Lianxue for a few seconds before landing on Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen.
"Deputy City Lord Zhang, are you going to interfere with the affairs of my City Patrol Bureau?"
Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen said, appearing slightly tough at this moment.
The Tianyuan Swordsman had five Disciples in total; the eldest Disciple, City Lord Ji Ze, was the City Lord of Tianyuan City.
The remaining three were Deputy City Lords who co-managed Tianyuan City with City Lord Ji Ze; Zhang Zhihui was one of them.
And the City Patrol Bureau is directly under City Lord Ji Ze; logically, Zhang Zhihui should not be able to manage the City Patrol Bureau.
And now, with Zhang Zhihui acting like this, it is obvious he wants to intervene in this matter.
Sure enough, their hands are reaching further and further.
"I am not trying to intervene in the affairs of the City Patrol Bureau, it is just that the matter involves Demonic Cultivators, so naturally, it must be treated with caution."
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun revealed a slight smile.
His words were clearly telling Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen that he was definitely going to be involved in this matter.
"That is right, when it concerns Demonic Cultivators, it must be treated with caution."
Another person walked in from outside.
"Fourth Uncle."
Song Lin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person who arrived.
He had almost thought that his Family was going to abandon him, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Also, this matter clearly did not have much to do with him.
What Demonic Cultivators?
He was not the one who slandered Lin Ming; he even had his own people in the City Patrol Bureau protect Lin Ming, so how did he get involved?
A flash of resentment crossed Song Lin's eyes.
Song Yushu walked in with a serious expression and looked at Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun.
Seeing Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun nod slightly at him, he then looked at Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen.
As for Song Lin, he chose to ignore him directly.
Regarding this pile of mud that could not be propped up on a wall, he certainly did not want to deal with it.
But this matter was very likely used by his Senior Brother as an opportunity to make a move against them and their Family.
Then he certainly could not sit idly by.
Likewise, he could also use this matter to make a fuss, and his Third Senior Brother seemed to have the same idea.
Although the two of them did not get along well on a daily basis, they could temporarily reach an agreement on this matter.
Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen felt both surprised and yet it was within reason for these two to appear.
After all, this time he had come to make arrests with an extremely tough attitude, so it was not surprising that it aroused their vigilance.
Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen took a look at Lin Ming and found him to have a calm expression, which made him feel much more settled.
"Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, what wind blew you to the City Patrol Bureau?"
City Lord Ji Ze also rushed over.
He and Second Senior Sister Qin Lu came to the City Patrol Bureau together, arriving at the location of the main hall.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister."
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun and Song Yushu greeted City Lord Ji Ze and Second Senior Sister Qin Lu.
"Regarding matters concerning Demonic Cultivators, I feel that Junior Brother should still take it seriously."
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun said in a deep voice.
"Demonic Cultivators? Who discovered Demonic Cultivators again?"
City Lord Ji Ze immediately looked at Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen and asked.
Why did Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen not report this matter to him, and instead handled it privately?
This made City Lord Ji Ze somewhat dissatisfied.
"City Lord, it was the Zhang Family Disciple Zhang Zhihui who discovered this person had connections to Demonic Cultivators; it has now been verified that this person has no connection to Demonic Cultivators."
Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen said directly.
But these words made City Lord Ji Ze even more opinionated; since it had already been verified that this person had no connection to Demonic Cultivators, he should have just released the person.
Why go to the Zhang Family and the Song Family to make arrests?
It was not that he could not go to make arrests, but City Lord Ji Ze did not want anything to happen during this period.
If he wanted to beat them into submission, it would have to be after this period.
Now, he did not want any changes to occur in Tianyuan City.
Therefore, City Lord Ji Ze was still somewhat dissatisfied with Bureau Chief Sun Xiuwen's actions.
"Wait."
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun spoke up at this moment.
"How can a matter regarding Demonic Cultivators be ended so casually?"
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun said.
Since the matter had developed to this point, Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun was certainly going to make a big deal out of it.
"You say there is no connection, so is there really no connection?"
"Since my nephew says this person is connected to Demonic Cultivators, then he must have discovered something."
Deputy City Lord Zhang Yukun looked at Zhang Zhihui and said.
"That is right, Uncle, this person definitely has a connection to Demonic Cultivators."
Zhang Zhihui also understood his uncle's meaning and quickly said.
He looked at Lin Ming and the other with a slightly smug expression.
Now that his uncle has stepped in, these two are definitely doomed.
