deadly mantra

Chapter 61 What is your measurement standard?
Ji Fanyin handed the fake Xuanbing Crossbow back to Bao Simu, and asked casually:

"By the way, Capt. Huang called you over last night. Did you find anything new?"

Bao Simu shook his head regretfully:

"Forget it, I ran around all night in vain. After I got back, I fell asleep and slept until the sun was high before I got up."

Hearing the sound, Ji Fanyin smiled:
"I have also heard a little bit about the Yongchang Escort case. It seems that it has been tried together with the case of the missing girl?"

Bao Simu nodded solemnly:
"Yes, the order issued by superiors last night requires that the case be heard together, but..."

Ji Fanyin picked up the teacup, took a slow sip, raised her eyes, and glanced at Bao Simu.

Bao Simu frowned helplessly and hesitated, as if he was about to say something.

Feng Xiaoyao was thinking about repaying Li Mubai's favor. When she heard this, she couldn't help but say:
"Just what? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't only say half of it."

Bao Simu tightened his grip on the Xuanbing Crossbow with a heavy heart:

"It's not that I don't want to say it, I'm just saying... Well, according to usual habits, once the two cases are merged, it is very likely that they will be offset in the end. My cousin does not allow me to intervene in the case of Yongchang Escort Bureau, probably because of this He knows this and I will definitely oppose it to the end."

After a pause, she raised her head, her eyes firm, full of justice, and exceptionally bright:
"However, even if they are unhappy, I will persist to the end. The reason why the law is a law is that it is fair and impartial. It clearly tells the people what is illegal and what behavior is correct and illegal. What kind of punishment will people receive? No one can go beyond the law and arbitrarily deprive others of their lives."

Feng Xiaoyao grasped the key point and asked:
"You mean, the person who committed the Yongchang Escort Bureau case may be someone who upholds justice?"

Bao Simu frowned and said:

"A murderer is a murderer. The government only serves justice. Those who committed the Yongchang Escort tragedy are thugs."

Ji Fanyin twitched her eyelashes slightly, put down her teacup, and said with a smile:

"What does justice mean to you?"

Hearing this, Bao Simu responded impassionedly:

"Justice means fairness, treating everyone equally. It means that princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people. It is also what should be done in compliance with moral standards."

Ji Fanyin smiled slowly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shui Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:
"What is your measure?"

Bao Simu and Feng Xiaoyao both looked at Ji Fanyin.

Ji Fanyin lowered her head to eat the food. When she looked up, she found that they were all looking at her, and then she realized that Shui Qingchen was asking her.

She chewed the diced meat, swallowed it, slowly raised her head, met Shui Qingchen's eyes, and suddenly showed a pure smile.

That smile was clean and flawless, without any evil thoughts, like the eyes of a newborn baby.

With a smile in her voice, she said slowly:

"Justice, roughly speaking, is to treat everyone equally and treat everyone equally."

Shui Qingchen was stunned for a moment.

Bao Simu muttered in confusion:
"These words... sound so familiar. Didn't they come from Senior Jian Langya, the leader of the Sword Clan, the leader of the six clans?"

Feng Xiaoyao said "Ah" and suddenly realized:
"No wonder these words sound familiar to me."

Ji Fanyin looked like an old monk in meditation, and smiled with a heavy smile:

"If you can't achieve the level of this senior, Ji Fanyin doesn't dare to talk about justice."

Feng Xiaoyao laughed and cursed:
"Damn girl, you obviously can't answer Brother Qingchen's question, but you still pretend to be incomprehensible."

As soon as Feng Xiaoyao opened her mouth, Bao Simu also laughed.

At this moment, the sound of the bead curtain shaking came from the viewing platform across the wall.

In order to seek peace and quiet, Bao Simu had already booked the entire fourth floor.

Just when I was wondering why a guest appeared next door, a familiar voice came over.

"After all, it's my cousin who knows how to enjoy herself. With just a few clicks of her finger, she took over the entire fourth floor of Yunshangduan." Hearing this, Ji Fanyin and Feng Xiaoyao looked at Bao Simu at the same time.

Good guy!
Generous shot!
Bao Simu's cheeks turned red, he shook his head hurriedly and explained:

"No, no! It's not like that! Listen to my explanation. He is lying. Don't listen to his nonsense. The villain next door is called Bao Jingtong. He is the grandson of my great-uncle. Ten years ago, after my grandfather passed away, our family There is very little contact.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Jingtong's voice came over again——

"Brother Wenxing, sit down. The officers and soldiers who were searching last night interrupted us midway, and we lost our interest. Let's continue~ quickly bring out the girl from last night."

When Bao Simu heard this, he frowned, stood up, and cursed in a low voice:
"This Bao Jingtong, if I don't beat him for a few days, his skin will itch! He dares to bully an innocent girl in my territory again! Ji Fanyin, let's go! Let's teach him a lesson!"

Ji Fanyin's eyes flashed with excitement, but she deliberately said lazily:
"As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. I've just arrived here, and I don't know any high-ranking officials in Qixia City. If something goes wrong, you have the Good Sword Alliance to back you up. I, a small commoner, can't afford to offend you. I can't afford to offend you." Get up~"

Bao Simu looked away in disappointment:

"Coward, if you don't go, I will!"

Feng Xiaoyao stood up and said:

"How can we eliminate the strong and support the weak, punish the evil and promote the good without me, Feng Xiaoyao. Come on, I'll go with you."

Bao Simu was surprised and agreed loudly:

"Okay, let's go!"

Ji Fanyin glanced sideways and looked at Shui Qingchen:
"You don't care?"

Shui Qingchen was drinking tea leisurely when he saw Bao Simu and Feng Xiaoyao looking over, smiled slightly, and said warmly:

"Wait until there is movement inside before you break in."

Ji Fanyin raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

Just this advice?
Shui Qingchen acted leisurely and said to the stunned Bao and Feng:
"Those who hit people first are easily at fault. Let them strike first."

Feng Xiaoyao and Bao Simu looked at each other and felt that Shui Qingchen's words made sense. They quietly lurked at the next door, waiting for the opportunity quietly.

Shui Qingchen smiled lightly and sat quietly, not worried at all.

Ji Fanyin looked at it for a while and couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you worried?"

A hint of coldness and arrogance appeared between Shui Qingchen's brows, but it quickly disappeared, leaving him with the same leisurely and elegant indifferent look:

"Experiencing some setbacks may not be a bad thing for her."

Ji Fanyin disagreed and shook her head with a smile:

"As long as the Good Sword Alliance remains standing, as long as the Ji family remains the most noble house in the Chixia Kingdom, and as long as the queen sits firmly on the phoenix chair, Bao Simu will always be a fledgling bird without all its feathers. Are you willing to If you are willing to bear it, ask Song Deyi who is guarding outside if they are willing to let the eldest lady they follow suffer a little injustice."

next door.

Bao Jingtong directed his servants to carry out a large sack from the inner room.

The person in the sack had his hands and feet tied with ropes, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. He kept struggling and making moaning sounds.

Bao Jingtong's blood boiled with excitement as he watched, and he almost couldn't help but want to go over several times, but because of the people around him, he suppressed his impulse, smiled greedily, and said with a flattering tone:

"This girl has a graceful figure. She must be a stunning beauty. When I met her on the street the day before yesterday, the mere sight of her back drew away my soul. I followed her quietly and abducted her at the corner of the street. Wen Xing Brother, I’ll let you give her her first time. Once you’ve finished enjoying it, I’ll come again.”

Brother Wenxing, whom Bao Jingtong addressed respectfully, sat quietly aside.

Lu Wenxing was wearing a bamboo green robe, with a cynical smile on his thin lips.

He originally lowered his face and played with the sapphire ring in his hand. When he heard Bao Jingtong's words, he put the sapphire ring on his left thumb and raised his head.

Those eyes flashed with danger, revealing a compelling sharpness.
