232: Chapter 232 Lei Huangzhu Case
Tang Long immediately coughed again and said: "This is not the fault of you two; it is my underestimation of the danger. My injuries are nothing; the problem now is that the thunder emperor pearl has been snatched away by thieves!"
When this was said, it truly caused an uproar.
"What did you say!"
"Are you serious, Excellency!"
"Tang Long, you aren't joking, are you?"
Tang Long gave a weak, bitter smile. "Can such a thing be joked about? I request that everyone immediately seal the entire city and retrieve the thunder emperor pearl."
Liu Zhiming immediately stood up to make a phone call. "Hello! This is Liu Zhiming! The entire Hand of the Red God is to mobilize, take over all city gates, and no one is allowed to leave the city!"
"Yes! No one!"
"The situation is critical. Notify Lv Yang and Wei Ye immediately!"
Yun Zhuoyue also called the military department at the same time.
"President Qi, this is Yun Zhuoyue."
"Tang Long was assassinated, and the thunder emperor pearl was stolen. Sect Leader Liu has already ordered the city gates to be taken over."
"Understood, Hu Xiao Group One will immediately participate in the search!"
The two hung up and returned to Tang Long's side, their gazes shifting back and forth between Tang Long and Shi Chengyu.
Liu Zhiming pondered. "Excellency Tang Long, the heritage relic should have a direct spiritual connection with you, right? Can you not sense its direction right now?"
Tang Long looked half-dead. "I... vaguely have a little, but..."
Liu Zhiming asked Shi Chengyu again. "Dr. Shi, you are an expert in thunder-type spirit energy. Do you have any way?"
Shi Chengyu frowned deeply. "There is a way. But Song City is too big. It is still very difficult to find the thunder emperor pearl among tens of millions of people."
"It would be better if Tang Long could sense the general direction and area, but in his current condition..."
"Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless there is another Spirit Map powerhouse of the thunder type to cooperate with me, linking our spirits through a secret technique for a joint scan; otherwise, it is impossible to search the entire city in a short time."
Yun Zhuoyue frowned. "Thunder-type powerhouses are already rare. Where can we find another one now?"
Shi Chengyu also shook his head and sighed. "Yes, this is a big problem!"
However, Liu Zhiming at the side suddenly said: "There is actually one person."
The two couldn't help but turn their gazes toward him.
But in Liu Zhiming's mind, a storm was brewing.
He suddenly felt that Tang Long's trip to Feng City last night and his contact with Xie Jin was likely not a coincidence. Otherwise, the incident today would be too much of a coincidence.
If His Excellency really did this intentionally, then... he really had to admit he was getting old.
The thought flashed by, and he spat out that name.
"Feng City, Thunder Leopard Xie Jin."
"Xie Jin?"
Shi Chengyu and Yun Zhuoyue couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say.
Thunder Leopard Xie Jin was indeed a Spirit Map powerhouse of the thunder type, but Governor Xu's father died at his hands. Although many years had passed, if you wanted to invite him to Song City, what would Governor Xu think?
Besides, would Xie Jin dare to come?
Liu Zhiming leaned closer to Tang Long and asked in a consultative tone.
"Excellency, the favor Xie Jin owes is yours. Do you think it is possible to invite him?"
Tang Long nodded slightly.
Liu Zhiming immediately called Xie Jin. What shocked Shi Chengyu and Yun Zhuoyue even more was that Xie Jin agreed without any hesitation.

Wei Zhuang's private residence.
Wei Mingzhu was having a fierce argument with Wei Zhuang.
"Fourth Sister! Why are you using the same tone as Big Brother and the others? Putting on your Governor's wife airs to lecture me?"
"Little Five, why can't you calm down and listen to us carefully?"
"What is there to talk about? They couldn't move me, so they brought you out?"
"I am your sister! Little Five, why don't you think about what time it is now? Seventh Uncle just reprimanded us, and you insist on going against the wind at this time?"
"Heh, if I don't do it, who will? Relying on you guys? Seventh Uncle came to reprimand us, wasn't it because of you?"
"You!"
"The eldest, the second, and you, all played around by a brat. I came to clean him up, and you guys are actually blaming me?"
"Even if you want to deal with him, you can't use this method. Once that Phantom Fox fails, they will follow the vine and find you!"
"Treating me like a fool again, right? Phantom Fox died in prison last night. Who can find evidence against me?"
"Did you silence him? When the time comes for a face-to-face confrontation with a living person, how will you explain it!"
"If others say it is, then it is? Then what is the Department of Legal Affairs for? What is the Governors Mansion for? You think I didn't do well, but what did you do! A bunch of losers!"
Wei Mingzhu raised her hand and slapped Wei Zhuang, stunning him.
"Fourth Sister, you... you hit me?"
Wei Mingzhu gritted her teeth. "How do you know we didn't do anything? Big Brother and I have already planned to pass the news to the Pope, and eventually, the Apostle Sequence will come to deal with him. But you..."
"You actually came up with such a stupid method at this time and handed the evidence to them again."
"The thunder emperor pearl belongs to the Imperial Academy, belongs to The Sect, belongs to the Song City military. Do you think it's yours just because you got your hands on it?"
"The Sect has already sealed the city because of this, do you know that! Once it is discovered, it will be your death warrant!"
"Hand it over immediately. I will take it to the Governors Mansion, and later your brother-in-law will personally get it out of the city!"
Wei Zhuang rubbed his face and sneered twice.
"Fourth Sister, even if you have arrangements, you could have told me earlier, instead of coming to blame me at this time."
"The Governor's wife and the Governor don't need to worry about such trivial matters as the thunder emperor pearl."
"Just keep it in my hands. Even if something really happens, it will save..."
Before he finished speaking, the front door was knocked on suddenly.
Someone knocked on the door at this time, and Wei Mingzhu immediately felt something was wrong, but Wei Zhuang still hadn't reacted.
Or rather, he was still immersed in the situation of being 'squeezed out by the family'.
"Who is it! Just say I'm not here!"
The guard outside quickly responded loudly, "Sir, it is Bishop Wei and..."
The guard didn't finish his sentence, and the front door was violently broken open. The sturdy wood, shattered into dozens of pieces, smashed a large area of Wei Zhuang's windows and walls.
Wei Ye walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back and saw Wei Mingzhu and Wei Zhuang in the hall at a glance.
But he didn't talk to them, instead asking: "Dr. Shi, Brother Xie, are you sure it is here?"
After two flashes of thunder, the figures of Shi Chengyu and Xie Jin appeared in two corners of the courtyard respectively.
After the two exchanged glances again, they nodded at the same time.
"The item is here, and it should be on the two people in the room."
Wei Ye sighed. "Good, good. It's good that we found it! Everyone, come in, let's all be witnesses."
Following his voice, Liu Zhiming and Lv Yang walked into the courtyard, followed by Governor Jiang Shiqi, and behind him was Elder Zheng's son, the Chief of the Bounty Bureau, Zheng Duo, and behind him was Yun Zhuoyue.
With so many big figures appearing at the same time, including five or six Spirit Map powerhouses, Wei Mingzhu was already trembling with fear.
Wei Zhuang's face twitched, and he was completely speechless.
Wei Ye snorted coldly. "What? You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? Do you still need others to search you?"
"Seventh Uncle, can I explain this matter to you alone?"
Wei Mingzhu stepped forward, trying to see if she could find room for maneuver.
But at this moment, Wei Zhuang grabbed her shoulder. "Fourth Sister, I did it. You should step aside."
Wei Mingzhu was anxious and angry, but had no choice.
At this time, Wei Zhuang had already taken out the thunder emperor pearl. "The item is with me, it has nothing to do with others."
"Nothing to do with others? You say it so lightly."
Shi Chengyu walked slowly to the front of the hall and asked with a sneer: "If it really has nothing to do with others, why did Madam Wei arrive here before us? Did she come to chat?"
Wei Zhuang gritted his teeth. "Don't you dare frame me! The Governor's wife is my sister, it is reasonable for her to visit!"
"Then what about the thunder emperor pearl? Is it also reasonable for it to be in your hands?"
"That's right! I ordered people to rob it!"
"Then the assassination of the Holy Messenger and President of the White Clothes Society, Excellency Tang Long, was also instructed by you?"
"Yes, I did it!"
"Who is the assassin? Where is he?"
"A death row prisoner in my prison. The task wasn't completed, who knows where he ran off to."
Shi Chengyu smiled. "All right. If you all have no objections to this confession, I have no other questions."
Hearing this, Wei Mingzhu closed her eyes in despair.
Friends who are often sentenced know that as long as you retract your confession before the court verdict, the case has to go through the process again.
If your background is deep enough, even if you play dumb or make up some reasons, you can delay for a period of time.
As long as it drags on, the final result is uncertain.
But this stupid younger brother, hearing that others wanted to implicate her, panicked immediately and actually admitted it so easily.
She knew Wei Zhuang was finished.
