Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 229: Going to jail?

Lin Chen was walking aimlessly on the street, whistling.

When they arrived at a place for martial soul awakening set up by the Tianhun Empire in this small town, they were stopped by a group of soldiers.

"Stop! We are the law enforcement team of the Tianhun Empire. You are responsible for a murder case. Please come with us." said the captain.

After saying that, the captain walked up to Lin Chen, took out a soul guide similar to handcuffs, and locked Lin Chen's hands. The other two team members quickly walked behind Lin Chen to prevent him from escaping.

"Go! Keep up!" A team member standing behind Lin Chen gave him a hard push.

Lin Chen:? I was just walking around and didn't do anything, why did they suddenly come to me? I want to see what tricks they are going to play.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen followed.

"This Tianhun Empire is really funny. They just arrest people without any investigation." Qian Renxue said in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"Why don't you kill them?" Qian Renxue asked again. With Lin Chen's strength, killing these soldiers was just a matter of breathing or moving his fingers, but Lin Chen didn't want to do that at the moment.

"Don't be anxious, let's see what they want to do first." Lin Chen said lightly.

He didn't want to kill people right away when he first came into the mortal world.

The team escorted Lin Chen to the Deacon's Hall. Inside the Deacon's Hall, a Mediterranean man wearing an official hat and a mustache was sitting in the main seat, looking down at him with a disdainful expression on his face.

"Sir Li, the person has been brought here." The captain bent down and bowed.

"Well, go down!" The man sitting in the main seat spoke to the captain in a father-in-law's tone.

"Yes, sir." After saying that, he immediately waved his hand and retreated with the brothers behind him.

After the team had completely left, an old man standing under Lord Li's seat shouted, "Kneel down!"

Lin Chen asked in confusion: "Why should I kneel?"

"Hmph! When you see the county magistrate (I don't know whether there is such a thing or not, just pretend it is! I want to write more literary dramas and original plots!), why don't you kneel? Kneel down!" After saying that, the old man winked at the person behind Lin Chen, and immediately a whip came towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen used his acting skills that he hadn't used for a long time. He cried out in pain and knelt down naturally.

From the perspective of everyone present, no one could see any clues, and the old man who winked at him even had a smug expression on his face.

"Half an hour ago, someone should have knelt there as well." Looking at the few drops of blood on the ground, Lin Chen thought to himself.

With Lin Chen's current strength, he can naturally see the blood and smell the blood.

At this time, Magistrate Li, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke again in a eunuch-like voice, stroked his mustache with his thumb and index finger, and asked contemptuously, "Do you admit your guilt?"

Lin Chen was confused and asked, "Sir, I was just wandering on the street. I don't know what crime I have committed?"

"Humph!"

Magistrate Li picked up the paperweight and slammed it heavily on the table, angrily saying, "You still don't admit your guilt. Someone saw you kill someone in the grass outside the city last night. Do you still want to deny it?"

Lin Chen pretended to be panicked and said in a flustered tone: "Sir! I am innocent, I really didn't kill anyone!"

"Hmph!" The sissy voice once again spread throughout the venue.

"Bring the man up here!" said the old man who had spoken earlier. Two minutes later, a young woman with tears streaming down her face was brought up. When she saw Lin Chen, she pointed at him and angrily cursed, "It was him. He not only raped my daughter, but also killed her afterwards. Please, County Magistrate, help me!"

After saying this, the woman squatted on the ground and cried.

Seeing the few tears shed by the woman, Lin Chen sneered in his heart.

This acting is really poor.

"The witness is here, search for him!" Magistrate Li ordered.

The soldiers in the Deacon Hall came forward one after another. Two soldiers pulled Lin Chen up, and the other two soldiers opened Lin Chen's bag that had been piled on the ground when he came in.

He violently tore the outer layer of cloth of the bag, and dozens of bronze soul coins fell to the ground, making a sound of metal collision.

The two soldiers who searched Lin Chen's body searched him thoroughly but found nothing, so they reported truthfully: "My Lord, there is nothing on me."

With Lin Chen's means, it is not difficult to hide the soul guide on his body, not to mention that the strongest here is only a three-ring soul master.

Looking at the copper soul coins on the ground, County Magistrate Li's eyes flashed with contempt. Poor people are poor people.

"Yes, yes! I remember that my daughter took some copper coins when she went out last night." The young woman shouted again after seeing the copper soul coins on the ground.

"We have both witnesses and evidence. Do you have anything else to argue about?" County Magistrate Li continued to interrogate Lin Chen in his eunuch-like voice.

Lin Chen kept saying, "Magistrate Li, I am really innocent! I really didn't kill anyone!"

But no matter how Lin Chen explained, the woman just wouldn't let go.

Lin Chen himself knew that it would be easy to accuse someone of a crime, and it seemed that he would be punished today.

"This county magistrate will give you two solutions. First, you can resolve the issue with the girl's mother and you will have to pay her 10 gold soul coins. Second, you can serve the Heavenly Soul Empire and at the end of years, you can redeem your sins."

When Lin Chen heard this, he realized that this was the case.

"The Tianhun Empire is really unscrupulous in its efforts to recruit men into the army. I think they must have seen my clothes and were sure that I didn't have much money, so they wanted to take this opportunity to frame me and force me to serve as a soldier." Lin Chen thought.

"Mr. County Magistrate, where are you serving the Tianhun Empire?" Lin Chen asked with tears in his eyes.

Magistrate Li smiled and said, "Since you are so thoughtful, I can ask my superiors for permission to let you go to the capital of the Tianhun Empire to contribute to it."

When Lin Chen heard this, he thought, the capital? Tiandou City? Isn't this a good opportunity to catch a ride? So he pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate. I am very grateful!"

Magistrate Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Come here, take him to jail!"

"Yes!"

Several soldiers stepped forward and threw Lin Chen's things into the prison. The only difference was that the copper coins in Lin Chen's bag had disappeared, not a single one was left.

"The internal affairs of the Tianhun Empire are really rotten!" Qian Renxue said angrily.

Lin Chen also felt deeply touched. Although his parents died early in his life, he had been walking in the world as a soul master since then. He never expected that ordinary people in this world lived such a miserable life.
