Chapter 73 Suffering Tribulation
Ten days later.
Dongyang School of Law Enforcement Hall.
In the secret interrogation room.
"Li Boyang, do you have anything to say?"
Ye Qingwu sat in front of Li Boyang, holding a secret letter from Donghua Kingdom in her hand.
As for the contents of the secret letter, it was naturally an accusation that Li Boyang had caused trouble in the Liyang gladiatorial arena and had led the disciples of the Dongyang School to fight against the people in the arena.
"There's nothing to say, just tell me how you plan to deal with me."
Li Boyang sat opposite Ye Qingwu. Seeing that Ye Qingwu was staring at him intently, he simply turned his head away.
He's essentially confessed. With so many witnesses at the scene that day, he had nothing to deny, so he might as well just admit it cleanly and simply.
Who is the person you saved?
Ye Qingwu's face twitched. The person opposite her was quite honest; he didn't even bother to argue.
"friend."
"Just friends? I don't think so."
"He can be considered my mentor."
"So, the motive for the attack is justifiable, and the punishment is reduced by one degree."
Ye Qingwu nodded, her tone still cold but much gentler as she continued to ask:
"Did you think about violating the rules of the sect before you made the move?"
"I thought about it, but the situation was too critical at the time, so I couldn't think about it."
Li Boyang didn't react immediately and replied directly.
"Well, since you've thought about it, that means you knowingly committed the crime, which makes your crime even more serious."
"No, that's leading a confession. How can you ask questions like that? I object."
Li Boyang then realized that the other party was using words to trick him, first reducing his crime by one degree to lower his guard, and then launching a surprise attack, and he actually fell for it.
Ye Qingwu frowned, her tone, which had just softened, instantly turning cold as she said, "What, do you have a problem with me asking you this?"
"No, no, you asked me."
This guy in front of me is a Qi Refining Realm cultivator; it's best for me to avoid trouble.
What followed was another long series of questions and answers lasting five minutes. Ye Qingwu would write down each question on a piece of paper, which shows that the Dongyang Sect was quite strict in dealing with punishments.
"Take a look. If you have no objections, sign and put your fingerprint on it."
Li Boyang took the paper from Ye Qingwu, glanced at it briefly, and found that she hadn't recorded the part about knowingly committing a crime. He looked up at her, then signed his name.
"Wait here, the results will be out in a bit."
After Ye Qingwu finished speaking, she left the interrogation room.
Half an hour later, Ye Qingwu returned, bringing with her an official letter regarding the handling of Li Boyang.
Ye Qingwu stood in front of Li Boyang and solemnly read out:
"Disciple Li Boyang has been found to have caused a disturbance in the arena in the capital of Donghua Kingdom, violating Article 256 of the sect rules, which prohibits him from abusing his power in subordinate kingdoms. He is hereby sentenced to one year of confinement."
"You have the right to appeal, but if the appeal fails, the punishment will be more severe. Do you want to appeal?"
Li Boyang shook his head. The result was actually much worse than he had imagined. However, for him, it was just a year of confinement. Others might be afraid, but he wouldn't be.
"You can go back to your residence now. Tomorrow, a disciple from the Enforcement Hall will take you to the Abyss."
"You encountered an unexpected situation during this mission, so the mission reward has been tripled. Remember to collect it when you get back."
This was an unexpected bonus. Originally, the escort mission only offered ten low-grade spirit stones, but now it has become thirty.
Li Boyang was just about to leave when Ye Qingwu hesitated, then finally said:
“Your punishment this time was too harsh and violated the rules of the sect. Someone must have tampered with it. You must have offended someone.”
Li Boyang nodded and walked out of the interrogation room. Who would have done this? It was naturally Zuoqiu Leshan. This was probably the consequence he had mentioned back then.
For the Dongyang School, merit is merit, and fault is fault; there is no such thing as merit and fault offsetting each other.
After receiving his thirty low-grade spirit stones at the mission hall, Li Boyang returned to his residence.
The next morning, he was taken to a place called Diyuan among the three peaks of Dongyang.
This is a fissure in the mountains, and the abyss lies within it.
Following behind the two disciples of the Enforcement Hall, darkness gradually enveloped them.
