Chapter 12483

Now that Su Enxi is taking advantage of the situation, the nature of the matter is completely different.

Now that things had come to this, Meng Beijun couldn't retaliate against Su Enxi, so he braced himself and looked at Lin Yi.

"Regarding the Emperor's End, do you agree to Madam Fang's compensation demands?"

Lin Yi crossed his arms and looked at the two of them calmly: "This woman has no brains, and you, as a judge, have no brains either?"

On the other side, Liu Aozhi almost burst out laughing.

Meng Beijun's expression shifted several times before he said in a deep voice, "In the courtroom, you had better remain solemn. You are not only disrespecting this judge, but the entire Heavenly Palace!"

Lin Yi turned to Liu Aozhi with amusement: "Chief Steward Liu, he represents the entire Heavenly Palace, so what do you represent?"

Liu Aozhi looked at him strangely: "I wanted to ask that too."

Meng Beijun: "..."

There was nothing wrong with what he said in itself, but in front of the Grand Steward of Tianjun, the meaning of his words took on a different connotation.

Some things really can't stand up to close scrutiny.

Whispers rippled through the audience, many revealing amused expressions.

Meng Beijun said coldly, "If the defendant has nothing else to say, then I will pronounce the verdict in court."

In any case, he must play this role to the end today.

Lin Yi remained noncommittal.

He's not here to play the role of a defendant. If he really follows the other side's lead, even if he wins the case in the end, it will essentially be a major defeat.

Once a god reveals their health bar, victory or defeat becomes meaningless.

Because there will be a continuous stream of lawsuits coming up, and he'll be pinned to the defendant's seat.

Regardless of whether they can win every case, even if they win every case, it will still subtly instill a certain perception in the minds of the people of Tianjun.

The end is not something lofty and unapproachable.

It was just an ordinary force under the jurisdiction of the Rat Clan.

They can't even compare to ordinary noble families, let alone the Heavenly Palace.

Ordinary aristocratic families are not easily forced into the dock.

Lin Yi's silence was seen by others as tantamount to acquiescence.

Meng Beijun made a decisive decision: "Since there are no objections, this judge hereby declares Madam Fang in the right. Within seven days from today, the membership fee and other expenses totaling two million will be refunded!"

The whole audience was silent.

They actually ruled that way?
Liu Aozhi looked at his nominal subordinate with a meaningful expression. If you're going to do a favor, go all the way. This guy is openly siding with Master Fang.

Plaintiff Su Enxi was overjoyed.

She had overheard Li Nianhe mention this matter casually, and had only intended to give it a try, but she never expected it to actually work.

That's a whopping two million! That's equivalent to several years' income for the Fang family.

I should have asked for more!
Su Enxi regretted it for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she was about to speak.

Meng Beijun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately tried to leave the table.

He has already crossed the line quite far today. If this incompetent teammate is allowed to cause any more trouble, not to mention whether he can get on the good side of Master Fang in the future, he will definitely become a laughing stock in the entire Tianjun County.

Just then, ten figures suddenly filed in through the main entrance.

When the audience saw what the ten people looked like, they were all taken aback.

"The head of the Cao family, the head of the Li family, the head of the Chu family..."

This group consisted of the heads of various powerful families, all of whom were important figures attending the Heavenly Palace Round Table—true bigwigs of the Heavenly Palace!
Meng Beijun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a bad feeling.

However, she still quickly got up to greet him.

Before he could speak, Cao Mang, the head of the Cao family, said directly: "Meng Beijun, the leader of the Rat Group, is suspected of embezzlement and dereliction of duty. He is immediately removed from his position as leader of the Rat Group and placed under investigation by the Heavenly Palace Supervisory Council!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of fierce Heavenly Palace experts immediately detained Meng Beijun. The other core members of the Rat Group present were all dumbfounded and at a loss.

"It's a misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!"

Meng Beijun shouted immediately.

Cao Mang glanced at him: "You idiot, you even know what misunderstanding is? You dare to get involved in something of this level, and you call it a misunderstanding? Why don't you just fly to the sky?"

The entire audience fell silent.

However, given the Cao family patriarch's consistently reckless character, it didn't seem out of place at all for him to say such things.

"..."

Meng Beijun's heart sank to the bottom.

He had considered this possibility. If the other party was of a higher level, it would be suicidal for a mere leader of the Rat Group to rashly get involved.

In his mind, he was the next governor of Tianjun and had the tacit approval of the five aristocratic families. He should have been in an invincible position.

The sudden intervention of the Heavenly Palace Supervisory Council is tantamount to openly opposing the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families.

How dare they?

Meng Beijun simply couldn't understand it.

Unfortunately, no one would answer his questions.

Meng Beijun couldn't help but look at Liu Aozhi, only to see a mocking expression on the other's face.

"A pawn that has crossed the river doesn't even realize its own limitations, yet it jumps so high. If it doesn't die, who will?"

Meng Beijun finally realized why this person was so calm, even though they knew it would be embarrassing, they still came to attend. It turned out they had been prepared all along!
Unfortunately, it was too late to understand all this at that point.

Meng Beijun was taken away in public.

On the other side, Su Enxi finally realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly tried to sneak away, but was stopped by the experts of the Heavenly Palace.

Cao Mang said casually, "Madam Fang, your Fang family has quite a few problems. Why don't you come with us?"

"what?"

Su Enxi's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.

Even if she wasn't very bright, she knew things were serious. But seeing the Heavenly Palace experts grab her, she suddenly screamed.

"You are not allowed to touch me! My Fifth Master is about to become the Grand Steward of Tianjun. Who among you dares to touch me?"

These words immediately sparked an uproar in public opinion.

The news that Master Fang was designated as the next governor of Tianjun was only circulating among the top echelons, and the general public had no idea that this was true.

Now that we know the inside story, and considering what's happening right now, it's really quite intriguing.

The current Tianjun Chief Administrator is Liu Aozhi, the next Tianjun Chief Administrator is Fang Wuye, plus the End Emperor, the Tiangong Supervisory Council, and even the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families.

This lineup, when put together, clearly represents a power struggle at the very top of the Heavenly Palace!
With everyone's imaginations running wild, a whole host of versions immediately emerged.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, people throughout Tianjun will talk about this scene during their leisure time.

However, the story does not end there.

"Wait a minute!"

A hoarse voice came from behind, and a handsome, broad-faced man came into view.

Everyone's spirits lifted.

The head of the Fang family, Fifth Master Fang.

Lin Yi was not surprised by this.

He knew from the beginning that the other party was nearby.

Today's incident, seemingly caused by the foolish woman Su Enxi, was actually orchestrated by this Fifth Master Fang behind the scenes. (End of Chapter)
