Chapter 85 The conspiracy begins

The next evening, Qin Zhan and Tang Yue returned from the island in the middle of the lake.

In order to be able to contact Qin Zhan at any time, Tang Yue arranged Qin Zhan in a hotel.

Six days later, in the morning.

Qin Zhan sat on the sofa, practicing meditation, trying to reach a higher level as soon as possible.

Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Sister Yue, what's the matter?"

Looking at the contacts on the phone, Qin Zhan pressed the call button.

"I'm downstairs and I bought you breakfast. Come on, let's go to the trial!"

Tang Yue spoke briefly and hung up the phone without any extra explanation.

Seeing Tang Yue so anxious, Qin Zhan stopped practicing and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

Five minutes later, Qin Zhan walked out of the hotel and saw a car at the door of the hotel, with Tang Yue sitting in the driver's seat.
"Sister Yue."

Qin Zhan greeted him and then sat in the passenger seat.

"Look at this."

Tang Yue handed her cell phone to Qin Zhan, and then stepped on the accelerator.

"The dead were found in the Great Snake Incident. The two hunters were corroded beyond recognition by the poison on the spot. It was not recognized as human bodies for several days. It was only recently that their identities were verified and confirmed to be the victims of the Great Snake Incident."

Qin Zhan read out the hot news on his mobile phone.

"Isn't this nonsense? The black snake's toxin is so strong that if it really corrodes, it is estimated that there will be no remains of the body. How can there be any trace left?"

Looking at this news, Qin Zhan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Framed, someone must be framing us!"

Tang Yue was so angry that she slapped the steering wheel a few times.

Half an hour later, Tang Yue and Qin Zhan arrived at the building of the Hangzhou Magic Association.

We took the elevator all the way to the top of the building. Above was a conference hall with a full sky view, which was very stylish.

When I walked to the door of the meeting room, I saw a group of men in uniform guarding the door.

This made Qin Zhan sigh at the power of the Inquisition, because the guards guarding the outer gate were all high-level wizards!

Not long after waiting outside the door, a man with black hair came out.

His eagle-like eyes glanced at Tang Yue and then at Qin Xiao.

"He is my student, Qin Zhan."

Tang Yue said softly.

Seeing this, the black-haired man nodded slightly and motioned for the two to enter the meeting room.

There is a standard large round table in the meeting room. A group of well-dressed men and women sit in front of the round table, about seven or eight people.

The remaining twenty or so people were all standing nearby. Judging from their uniforms, they were basically judges.

The strength of those guarding outside has reached that of high-level mages, not to mention the people inside.

"That was my senior brother just now. His name is Hei Yu, and he is also the deputy chief judge."

Tang Yue said softly to Qin Zhan beside her.

Before Qin Zhan could respond, he saw a middle-aged man with a thick beard slamming the table.

"People are dead, and you are still protecting that poisonous snake!"

"I came here from the Magic Palace this time not to discuss matters with you, but to receive orders to eliminate the hidden dangers in West Lake and restore peace to Hangzhou!"

"You'd better hand over the black snake as soon as possible and let us deal with it!"

At this moment, Tang Yue stared at the middle-aged man with a thick beard with an angry look. Seeing that Tang Yue's emotions were a little out of control, Qin Zhan asked in a low voice: "Who is this person?"

"Zhu Meng, member of the Judgment Council." Tang Yue replied through gritted teeth.

"You seem to hate him?" Qin Zhan continued to ask.

Tang Yue did not hide anything and told Qin Zhan the whole story.

The Inquisition has always known about the existence of the Totem Black Snake, and the Hangzhou government has acquiesced to this.

However, the faction headed by Councillor Zhu Meng was strongly opposed.

Hidden danger theory!
Anything that could potentially pose a threat to the city or is about to pose a threat to people must be eradicated as soon as possible.

This is the theory of the Zhumeng faction in the Inquisition.

The Totem Black Snake had long been regarded by the Zhu Meng faction as the most advanced hidden danger. They kept a close eye on the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and had proposed strategies to the Supreme Tribunal to eliminate hidden dangers in the city on many occasions.

In a word, such a big snake must not stay in the city. If it goes crazy, Hangzhou will face immeasurable disaster.

Zhu Meng's proposal was supported by many members of parliament, and they had been preparing to attack the Black Snake many years ago.

However, some old veterans believe that totems are a kind of magical civilization in ancient times, and the black snake has never harmed any citizen.

Therefore, as long as the government did not issue an expulsion order, they would not drive away the black snake living in West Lake.

"In your opinion, this Zhu Meng is the biggest enemy of the Black Snake?"

After looking at Zhu Meng, Qin Zhan said in a low voice.

"Yes, as soon as he found out there were casualties, he immediately came to call for punishment. It was as if he was prepared."

Tang Yue complained softly.

"I personally think that the enemies that are out in the open are not that scary. The real scary ones are the enemies hiding in the dark."

Qin Zhan smiled slightly, turned his head and whispered in Tang Yue's ear.

Hearing this, Tang Yue's delicate body couldn't help but tremble. She thought of a result that she didn't want to believe.

It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows!
The enemy hiding in the dark, an enemy who uses Zhu Meng as a gun, is the most difficult to guard against.

At the same time, the meeting came to an end.

Although there was no evidence and there were many doubts, Zhu Meng still blamed Xuan Snake for the deaths of the two hunters.

Two days!

Zhu Meng only gave the presiding judge Tang Zhong two days. Either Tang Zhong handed over the black snake himself, or he would kill him himself.

Afterwards, Zhu Meng left with the palace guards, and those who favored the magic court also stood up and left.

There were only five people left in the room: presiding judge Tang Zhong, councillor Luo Mian, deputy presiding judge Hei Yu, Tang Yue and Qin Zhan.

"I think Zhu Meng is just showing off. If he really has the ability to kill the black snake, we can't stop him even if we want to."

"Zhu Meng has been dragging it on until today because he can't defeat the Black Snake."

Councillor Luo Mian smiled and didn't seem to be that worried.

"You don't know, the black snake sheds its skin every ten years. During the shed period, its strength will be greatly weakened, and it will also become restless. This is why it suddenly appeared in the city."

Tang Zhong sighed, his tone very serious.

He originally only suspected that there was a traitor, but now he can be sure of it.

If the opportunity had not been leaked by an insider, Zhu Meng would not have had the courage to attack the black snake.

Since it has been leaked, it doesn't matter if Luo Mian knows it.

"So that's how it is. Zhu Meng is really good at picking the right time."

Luo Mian was stunned and looked very surprised.
