Chapter 138 138. Redemption
"Have you heard, there will be a trial meeting on the city wall tomorrow."

"It is said that the Nantian City City Lord and Nantian City officials are not doing enough to defend the city, and will be questioned in public."

"I've also heard that the city is still preparing to accept those refugees from Nantian City. Letting these refugees in will pollute our Beishan City. I'm really speechless."

This day, Bai Yu practiced in the classroom as usual, but during the break, many students in the class got together and talked a lot.

When Bai Yu heard the news, he was not in the mood to practice anymore.

After thinking about it, he planned to take a leave of absence from his homeroom teacher, Wan Hao, and go to see the situation under the city wall tomorrow.

Nantian City was destroyed, Lin Nantian, as the city lord, was responsible no matter what, and Bai Yu couldn't say anything.

But Lin Xiaoya will also be implicated, which is indeed too much. He wants to know what crime Lin Xiaoya will be convicted of.

If he could help, he would.

"Brother Yu, will Teacher Lin be questioned in public tomorrow?"

Liu Li and the others also heard the students' comments, and secretly felt sad.

"I don't know yet. Tomorrow, I'm going to ask for a vacation to go and have a look. If I can help Teacher Lin, I will try my best to help."

"You don't have to go, just go to school normally."

To be honest, Liu Li and the others couldn't help much in the past, if Lin Xiaoya was really convicted of some felony, they would definitely feel uncomfortable when they arrived at the scene.

So Bai Yu didn't want them to follow him to the scene.

The day passed quickly.

In the early morning of the second day, Bai Yu, who had already asked the class teacher for leave early, came to the city gate and waited quietly.

Although it is early in the morning, no matter where, there is never a shortage of good people to join in the fun.

A lot of people who eat melons and watch operas have gathered under the city walls in the city.

Outside the city wall, the people of Nantian City had already gathered together, staring at the city wall just like the people of Nantian City inside the city.

The people of Nantian City have mixed feelings. Lin Nantian has been the city lord of Nantian City for decades, and his integrity has also benefited the people of Nantian City a lot. The people of Nantian City still love this city lord.

It's just that this city lord whom they love is the chief culprit who ruined their home with his own hands in the end, which makes the people of Nantian City feel complicated.

They hated Lin Nantian very much, but they still couldn't bear the thought that he might be executed.

Nantian City may have died because of him, but it was definitely not his intention.

The people of Nantian City are still aware of this.

If the spatial rift is well controlled, then Nantian City can be transformed into a wealthy city with a further level of strength.

It's a pity that the sky failed as people wished, and the beast tide broke out. In the end, all Lin Nantian's plans came to naught.

Even the homes of the people were buried together.

Not long after, the mighty Beishan City Guards pressed a group of shackled and listless personnel onto the city wall.

The Lord of Beishan City also stepped onto the city wall, preparing to read the verdict on the criminals in Nantian City to the people inside and outside the city wall.

"Lin Nantian, the former owner of Nantian City, concealed the space rift and did not report it due to his own selfish desire. When the beast tide broke out, because he did not report it, the cities in Xizhou were unable to rush to rescue in time, resulting in the destruction of Nantian City and the displacement of millions of people. Casualties were heavy!"

"With the consent of the royal family of the Dragon Kingdom, the Xizhou Magistrate's Tribunal pronounced that Lin Nantian was assigned to the battlefield outside the territory, and he was not allowed to leave forever until he died in battle!"

After the lord of Beishan City read the verdict, Lin Nantian, who was shackled, showed no expression fluctuations on his face, and seemed to be numb.

Nantian City was destroyed, and he blamed himself very much. He was sentenced to a foreign battlefield and could not leave forever, and he was willing to accept it.

Now his only concern is his own daughter, and he doesn't know how this daughter will be punished because of his involvement.

"Quanzhuang, Ji Feiyu, Mo Longtu, and Liancheng, the former officials of Nantian City, are sentenced because of..."

Immediately afterwards, the Beishan city lord read the judgment of the main officials of Nantian city again.

Bai Yu didn't care about how these people were sentenced. What he cared about now was Lin Xiaoya's sentence.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Beishan City Lord finally read the verdict of Lin Nantian's family.

"Lin Xiaoya, the daughter of Lin Nantian, was the first to escape from Nantian City when the beast tide broke out because of her father's unforgivable crimes. She has no sense of being a family member of the city lord. With the approval of the Dragon Kingdom royal family, she demoted Lin Xiaoya to a lowly slave." , You will never be able to rectify your name!"

After hearing the sentence, Lin Xiaoya on the city wall was full of despair.

If you are demoted to a lowly slave, you will live forever. A lowly slave has no human rights, and the status is even inferior to that of domestic livestock!
This is a relatively serious sentence in the criminal case.

The first class, of course, is tortured to death, and the second class, like Lin Nantian, who is dispatched to the battlefield outside the territory, may die at any time, which is almost the same as the death penalty.

The third class, like Lin Xiaoya, was demoted as a lowly slave.

The fourth class is also the lightest. They are just exiled, become unknown, and wander outside the city for a living. If someone protects them, or lives in a low-risk area, they can still barely live.

Bai Yu still thought that if Lin Xiaoya was sentenced to exile, then he would help protect Lin Xiaoya.

But now that Lin Xiaoya was sentenced to be reduced to a lowly slave, Bai Yu didn't know what to do.

When Lin Nantian heard that Lin Xiaoya was going to be demoted to a lowly slave, his originally blank expression became extremely angry, and there was a bang and bang sound of spiritual energy exploding on his body, as if he was about to break free from the shackles.

But it's a pity that these shackles are special spirit-locking shackles, no matter how much Lin Nantian stimulates the spiritual power in his body, it won't help.

Under the spirit-locking shackles, spiritual power cannot be manifested outside the body at all.

Spiritual power cannot be manifested outside the body, at best, it is only the strength of a second-level monk, how can it be possible to break free from the shackles of unlocking the spirit?

"Lin Nantian, stop struggling to die. You are responsible for all this, no one else is to blame."

The city lord of Beishan just glanced at the impotent and furious Lin Nantian, then waved his hands and ordered his subordinates to take him away and take him to the prison, waiting to be released.

Like Lin Xiaoya, officials from Nantian City were demoted to lowly slaves.

Cultivators with good strength like them will be bought by some aristocratic families in the future and become housekeepers or dead soldiers.

A capable lowly slave is in high demand.

A lowly slave with no strength, if he is lucky, no one wants him, he will be thrown out of the city and become an exile.

As for the lowly slaves in some postures, it would be miserable, and what awaited them might be hell from which they could never escape.

The owner of a lowly slave enjoys all the rights of a lowly slave, including the power of life and death!

Those who will be degraded as lowly slaves are all guilty of heinous crimes. No one will sympathize with these lowly slaves, and no one is willing to speak out for such sinners.

The Beishan city lord and the city guard left the prisoner under pressure, leaving only the people of Beishan city still in place, discussing a lot.

"This time, a lot of powerful slaves have been exiled. I don't know when the slave auction will be held. I can't wait to buy a stronger slave."

"Hehe, San Manzi, are you bragging again?"

"With your economic strength, you can't afford even the weakest lowly slave. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"

"Hmph, what does it matter to you whether I can afford it or not? Are you trying to find fault?"

San Manzi refused to accept it, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight with the guy who made him shame.

"What's the matter, do you want to fight?"

"Come on, come on, come on my forehead, I promise not to fight back, come on!"

The man didn't hesitate, he put his head straight in front of the three mangy, forcing him to do it.

But San Laizi is not a fool, if he does something in the city, it won't be enough for him to pay. It's fine to talk and pretend, but if he really wants to do something, he dare not.

"I'm too lazy to be as knowledgeable as you are!"

The three lepers walked away in a flick of their sleeves, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Bai Yu looked at San Laizi's leaving back, thoughtfully.

He just got a piece of useful information, that is, people who have been reduced to lowly slaves are very likely to be sold.

If Lin Xiaoya was also on the list, he could take action and rescue Lin Xiaoya.

Bai Yu has always been worried about things that can be bought with money.

"Looks like I'm going to find someone to inquire about the news..."

Bai Yu still doesn't know if all these people who have been demoted as lowly slaves will be pulled out for public auction.

Bai Yu felt that such things as lowly slaves would be internally digested by people in Beishan City in advance.

After all, those senior officials in Nantian City are from the late stage of the Four Realms, and they are also among the best in Beishan City. It is absolutely impossible for Beishan City to release them for public auction.

It should be normal for the major families in Beishan City to divide up in advance.

These powerful slaves, including other slaves, Bai Yu has no desire to buy, he just wants to rescue Lin Xiaoya, Bai Yu doesn't care about others.

After all, he himself grew up to be an invincible existence of the same level, and it was useless to have these lowly slaves.

It's just a mere monk from all over the world, and he can't even break through his defenses. Why do you want to come, what to eat?

A fourth-tier cultivator has a lot of appetite. Although Bai Yu is not short of money, but if he is to raise him for free, he is definitely not willing to be such a big wronged species.

"Are you looking for Li Caiqin? This woman is greedy for me, and she is also an official of the school. There should be some way to ask about the situation..."

Bai Yu didn't know many people in Beishan City, and there were even fewer officials in Beishan City.

Li Caiqin from a school can be regarded as a little friendly.

The other is Duan Wufang, the deputy commander of the City Guards Department. He and Duan Wufang have only met each other a few times, so we can't say how close they are.

It's just that if Li Caiqin can't get any news, Bai Yu still has to find Duan Wufang to find out the news.

No way, why did he only know so many people?
Bai Yu was in a good mood. After all, although Lin Xiaoya's situation was miserable, as long as he was willing to help, she would be fine.

He has money, so it's just a matter of throwing money away. Lin Xiaoya, who is not in the Vein Opening Realm, is not very strong, so no one will snatch him, right?
Even if some LSPs took a fancy to Lin Xiaoya's beauty and wanted to collect it, it still depends on whether there is a white feather drum in the wallet, right?

Bai Yu has a deposit of tens of millions of dragon coins in his body, no matter how bad it is, he can get a little supernatural mark at any time, and his net worth exceeds [-] million in minutes.

With the ability to fight money with him, do these people in Beishan City have this strength?
Of course, Bai Yu doesn't look down on the rich people in Beishan City, but he knows that the rich people who are richer than him must target those four-level masters, and he will definitely not work hard with him because of a second-level Lin Xiaoya.

Can a rich man who can make so much money do business at a loss?

The money of the rich does not come from the wind.

Except for Bai Yu...

It just so happened that I asked for leave today, and it was better to come early than coincidentally. Bai Yu called Li Caiqin and wanted to ask her out for an interview.

The phone was dialed, and just as Bai Yu put it to his ear, Li Caiqin's impatient voice came from the receiver.

"Hey, isn't this our classmate Bai Yu? Didn't he treat him like a scourge the day before yesterday, why did he think of calling him again?"

"Could it be that...Bai Yu, you... have figured it out?"

As soon as Bai Yu heard the voice on the other end of the phone, he broke out in cold sweat.

What the hell figured it out, what should he figured out?

"Miss Li, I have business to see you this time, do you have time to talk?"

"What's your name, Miss Li? You're so unfamiliar. If you call me Sister Qin, I'll come out to see you when I'm free. You can figure it out, hum!"

Bai Yu was left speechless, although he really didn't want to call this woman like that, but he was asking for help now, so calling it didn't seem to hurt.

After all, this woman is a bit older than him, so he won't suffer from calling her sister.

"Miss Qin!"

Bai Yu resisted the urge to feel nauseous, and kindly called Li Caiqin, sister Qin.

"Well, that's right. From now on, don't call me Ms. Li. It's too sloppy. Just call me Sister Qin. I love to hear it!"

"You still remember the teahouse you went to last time? I'll wait for you in the chrysanthemum private room!"

beep...beep...

Li Caiqin hung up the phone, leaving no room for Bai Yu.

Bai Yu put away her mobile phone, shook her head amusedly, and then walked towards the teahouse.

It's not Bai Yu's style to be manipulated by a woman. He is a self-proclaimed macho, and he has always been strong. How can he be manipulated by a woman?

In the chrysanthemum private room of the teahouse, Li Caiqin, who was wearing a black uniform, had been waiting inside for a long time.

At this time she was making tea, when she saw Bai Yu coming in, she poured him a cup, then got up, and locked the door of the chrysanthemum private room.

After all, we have important matters to talk about, so we must avoid being disturbed by outsiders. There seems to be nothing wrong with doing this...

"Tell me, classmate Bai Yu, what do you need to ask your sister for?"

Li Caiqin sat on the chair opposite Bai Yu, leaned forward, propped her elbows on the tea table, held a teacup in her right hand, brought it slightly to her mouth, and took a sip of tea.

This woman... is really poisonous!
In her posture, Bai Yu couldn't even look directly at her, and it seemed impolite not to look directly at her.

He knew that this woman definitely did it on purpose.

Squeeze, squeeze hard!

Forget it, this woman just likes to play this game, Bai Yu already understands, he can't behave like a young child, wouldn't that mean making a fool of himself again?
Although in fact he is a young child, but he has a perfect score in theoretical knowledge, and he is absolutely unwilling to admit that his practical score is zero!

Thinking of this, Bai Yu regained his courage. He looked straight into Li Caiqin's eyes, as if everything else was just floating clouds.

"Sister Qin, I want to ask you something."

"Ask me for something? Tell me, let's hear it. Sister, let's see if I can help you."

Bai Yu: "Today, the Lord of Beishan sentenced the criminals in Nantian City, sister Qin should know, right?"

Li Caiqin took another sip of tea and replied, "Of course I know, but what does this have to do with you?"

Bai Yu: "Didn't someone be reduced to a lowly slave? I have a friend in there. I want Sister Tuoqin to inquire about it. I'm willing to pay a high price to see if I can redeem it in advance."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Caiqin looked Bai Yu up and down, with a playful look in his eyes.

"I guess the person you want to redeem is a woman, I don't know if I'm right, classmate Bai Yu?"
