Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1229: Reform is coming to the underground city

Seeing Cai Dong's crazed state, Yang Rulang panicked, and Niu Babao panicked too.

This is the City Lord's Mansion. If Cai Dong were to kill Yang Rulang inside the City Lord's Mansion, wouldn't Niu Babao be killed directly by the Heavenly Emperor?

So Niu Babao shouted loudly at Lord Shang, "Quick, stop Cai Dong! Don't let anything else happen to him!"

Lord Shang was also quick. Just as he sensed something was wrong, he waved his hand and led out a squad of soldiers to block Cai Dong's path.

Then another group of people directly protected Yang Rulang.

“Patriarch Cai, let’s talk this out. There’s a reason for this. I, Yang Rulang, did not do this.”

"Damn it, this is what people from your Yang family are like. What else do you have to say?"

“Patriarch Cai, listen to me. Yang Shan betrayed my Yang family a year ago. This may be a personal grudge, and has nothing to do with me, Yang Rulang, or my Yang family!”

Seeing that Yang Rulang was still trying to argue, Chu Chen didn't indulge him.

Instead, he said directly to Lord Shang, "Lord Shang, it seems that Yang Shan was one of those who went out just now."

"Those people outside should be under Lord Shang's control, right? Why don't we call them in and take a look?"

"Yes, Young Master Chu is right, Lord City Lord, I want to see those people from earlier!"

Cai Dong calmed down and looked at Niu Babao before making his request.

Niu Babao looked somewhat troubled, glanced at Chu Chen, and gritted his teeth: "Bring those people outside in."

Niu Babao originally wanted to settle things peacefully, but Chu Chen wouldn't allow it.

Well then, Chu Chen has quite a background; how could these families compare to him?

However, Chu Chen also saw this point, but he didn't care about it at the moment. So what if he was just a city lord? After this matter, he would focus on improving his strength. When his strength was strong enough, nothing would be a match for him.

A short while later, the man named Yang Shan was brought in.

In order to get him to confess quickly, Chu Chen played the projection for him again.

After reading it, Yang Shan's face turned ashen. He turned around and knelt down in front of Yang Rulang: "Patriarch!"

"Hmph, you spineless coward. All Young Master Cai did was kick you once. Was it necessary to kill him?"

"Women are everywhere, but you... just wait for Patriarch Cai to decide your fate."

After saying that, Yang Rulang endured the pain in his leg and said, "Patriarch Cai, it is my fault that such a bad person has come from my Yang family. I, Yang Rulang, have failed to discipline him properly. But rest assured, my Yang family will definitely give you an explanation."

"As for Yang Shan, then let Patriarch Cai deal with him to vent your anger!"

Cai Dong looked at Yang Rulang, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

He had completely calmed down by now, and he knew very well what was going on.

This is how Yang Rulang used his own son as a tool to get revenge on Chu Chen. For the Cai family, this is simply humiliating them.

When something goes wrong, how can Yang Shan be expected to take the blame?

So he threw down the dagger and knelt down in front of Niu Babao: "Lord City Lord, considering that my Cai family has always been honest and law-abiding in the underground city and has often given generously, I beg you to grant me a request."

"Master Cai, please rise. What are your requests?"

"Very well, I request permission to interrogate Yang Shan myself. There must be someone behind this. Please grant my request, sir!"

Niu Babao had absolutely no reason to refuse Cai Dong at this moment.

Although killing is not allowed in the dungeon, the legal system is still not very sound, so private interrogations are not uncommon.

His only worry was whether the underground city would descend into chaos once Cai Dong had evidence pointing to Yang Rulang.

After hearing Cai Dong's words, Yang Rulang immediately said to Niu Babao, "Lord City Lord, you mustn't! Yang Shan has committed murder and disregarded the law. He is no longer fit to live in this world. I beg you, Lord City Lord, to execute Yang Shan immediately!"

"Yang Rulang, are you trying to kill me to silence me?"

"Um... Brother Cai, I didn't mean that at all. I was just angry, that's all!"

"Hmph, put away your anger. Once I've investigated this thoroughly, I'll show you my anger too!"

After saying that, he shouted to the Cai family members outside, "Lord City Lord, are you going to watch my Cai family suffer this great humiliation for nothing?"

Niu Babao had no choice but to wave his hand at Lord Shang.

With permission from Niubabao, a group of Cai family members rushed in and, under Cai Dong's command, took Yang Shan away.

Before leaving, she said to Chu Chen, "Young Master Chu, our Cai family has misunderstood you. We beg you to come to our Cai family so that we can apologize!"

After saying that, the group walked out of the city lord's mansion without looking back.

Seeing this, Yang Rulang also bowed to Niu Babao, then headed straight outside, glancing back at Chu Chen with murderous intent in his eyes.

After everyone left, Chu Chen stepped forward and asked Niu Babao, "What is the City Lord worried about?"

"Hehe, Young Master Chu, you also know that if Cai Dong has absolute evidence pointing to Yang Rulang, will the Yang and Cai families still be at peace?"

"Under the rule of the Heavenly Emperor, fighting and killing have always been forbidden in the underground city. If..."

Niu Babao didn't continue speaking, but instead took out the cigarette that Chu Chen had just given him and lit it with a worried look on his face.

Chu Chen understood deeply after listening, and then said to Niu Babao, "Lord City Lord, actually, resolving this matter is not difficult!"

"Oh, does Young Master Chu have a solution?"

"Hehe, as far as I know, there should be some desolate land outside the underground city. Why doesn't the city lord make use of this land as a place to settle personal grudges?"

"You mean, if there's a grudge, we should settle it in the desolate land?"

"That's right. I think that a world that is too peaceful will actually slow down its development!"

After hearing Chu Chen's words, Niu Babao immediately fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he raised his head and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "Alright, I will ask the Heavenly Emperor for permission right away!"

"Too peaceful, slow development?"

Three days later, the Heavenly Emperor looked at Niu Babao kneeling on the ground and murmured these words.

The next moment, he burst into laughter: "Alright, let's do as this kid Chu Chen says. This kid is becoming more and more likable to me."

"I hope you can become that person."

After saying this, the Heavenly Emperor waved to Niu Babao, signaling him to leave.

But in Niu Babao's heart, it was like a raging storm. What an honor it was to be liked by the Heavenly Emperor!

It seems that befriending Chu Chen was the right decision!

He then left the Heavenly Emperor's palace and headed straight for the underground city, intending to revise the laws concerning fighting and killing within it.

Inside the Cai family mansion, Cai Dong looked at his subordinate with icy eyes: "Did you get the answer?"

"God, I've gotten the answer!"

"Hehe, who is it?"

"Yang Rulang..."
