The sudden turn of events shocked everyone in Xiangli Courtyard, especially Yueqing. She looked towards Huoping lying on the ground with panic on her face, only to see a golden thread passing directly through Huoping's navel. , pierced through Huoping's lower dantian, and then wrapped a circle around both sides of his waist, directly locking his lower body.
Huoping lay on the ground and screamed, but he did not dare to move his body, because if he moved, there would be a sharp pain in his dantian.
At this moment, the incident in Xiangli Courtyard even alarmed the owner of Baiyue Building.
When the owner Yuan Zhe of Baiyue Tower came to Xiangli Courtyard, he only saw the stunned Sanxian around him, as well as Yueqing and the injured steward who were also stunned on the stage.
Of course, there is Huo Ping on the ground. The owner of Yuanzhe Tower knows Huo Ping. He is the son of Huo Shanjun, the minister of Nanyue Mansion. Although he also has a backing, it is better not to offend the super-grade immortal officials in heaven if they can.
"What's going on?" Yuan Zhe came to Yue Qing and asked.
Yueqing shook his head blankly, and then said, "I don't know."
Yuan Zhe looked at Manager Song not far away again. Manager Song stood up from the ground with difficulty, and then quickly walked forward and was about to explain to Yuan Zhe, but in an instant, three golden lights flew directly into Xiangli Courtyard. On the jade platform.
When the fairy light dissipated, three majestic generals appeared in front of everyone, wearing purple-gold green dragon helmets, yellow-scale basalt armor, and red flame martial robes.
Seeing these three generals, Yuan Zhe's expression changed drastically. These three generals were not ordinary generals, but the central generals of Heaven, super-grade immortal officials!
Yuan Zhe quickly stepped forward to salute, but two of the generals had already stepped forward and lifted Huoping up from the ground, which made Huoping scream like a ghost.
"Yuan Zhe, Baiyue Tower, pays homage to the three heavenly generals." Yuan Zhe bowed and bowed.
The heavenly general in front of Yuan Zhe returned the courtesy and said: "Chen Jizhen, the Earth Kuixing, has met the master of Yuan Zhe."
Yuan Zhe was shocked when he heard this. It turned out to be General Seventy-two Disha. At this time, Chen Jizhen said to Yuan Zhe: "You have nothing to do here. Don't panic. We have been ordered to capture Huo Ping."
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately pricked up their ears, arresting Huoping? Did this kid commit a crime? Also, with his arrogant and domineering character, he will get into trouble sooner or later.
"Do you know that my father is Huo Shanjun, the Minister of Nanyue Mansion? Let me go immediately! Otherwise, I will never be done with you guys." Huo Ping looked at Chen Jizhen and the others with a pale face and said.
Chen Jizhen sneered, then walked up to Huo Ping and said: "Huo Ping, I will come to get you according to the decree of Zhenjun Hongqing. If you have anything to say, go and say it in front of Zhenjun Hongqing."
Hearing Chen Jizhen's words, a violent earthquake instantly occurred in Huo Ping's pupils. Then his face gradually turned pale, and his whole person suddenly became depressed.
Chen Jizhen glanced at Huo Ping, then waved his hand and said: "Take it away!"
Immediately, Chen Jizhen and three generals escorted Huo Ping up into the clouds and flew directly out of Xiangliyuan and towards the heaven.
Seeing Chen Jizhen and the other three leaving, Yuan Zhe also came back to his senses. Then he looked at Yue Qing, his face gradually softened and was no longer as stiff as before, "Fellow Daoist Le, I'm scared. I don't think we'll do it today." The performance is over, let’s go back and rest first.”
Yueqing felt a little exhausted physically and mentally after being tortured like this. He immediately nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Master."
Then she looked at Manager Song, "Manager Song, are you okay?"
Manager Song wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Hearing this, he gave Yueqing a soft and warm smile and said, "Nothing, just a minor injury. It's nothing to worry about. Fellow Daoist Le, go back and rest first."
Yueqing looked at Manager Song intently for a moment, then bowed his hands to Yuan Zhe and Manager Song, then turned around and walked down the jade platform, back to his residence.
Lei Department, Taiyi Thunder Department's outer hall, waiting to see the court.
Mrs. Du, one of the three wives of Huayue, was dressed in luxurious and graceful clothes, with dazzling fairy decorations. She was sitting in the highest seat of the waiting court, but there was a trace of anxiety on her face.
On the lower side of the waiting court, there are two men and two women sitting, namely Huayue Erlang, Huayue Sanlang, Huayue Sanlang's wife 'Mrs. Zi Zhu', and Huayue Sanniang, also known as the 'Three Holy Mothers'. '.
"Why haven't the results come out yet?" Mrs. Du asked anxiously.
Sanlang Hua Yue and his wife Mrs. Zi Zhu were also very anxious. After all, their daughter Princess Narcissus and granddaughter Huo Lin were among those arrested, but they tried their best to not look so anxious.
"Don't be anxious, mother." Huayue Erlang said, "The general has not caught Huo Ping yet, so he probably won't finish the trial so quickly."
It was naturally impossible for Emperor Xiyue to personally come to inquire about this kind of matter, so he could only ask his wife, Mrs. Du, to come with their children.
"What do you think is going on with Mr. Huo Shanjun? How could he be so bold and dare to tamper with the decrees of Emperor Houtu, and also implicate my granddaughter and lovely great-grandson." Mrs. Du said this, His eyes immediately filled with tears.
At this time, Mrs. Zizhu, the wife of Sanlang Huayue, said: "I don't think it may have been done by Mr. Huo Shanjun. After all, he has been a minister for so many years. He may be the husband. Didn't you find that Huo Ping gave us a lot of money during this time?" Did you give me a lot of valuable treasures?"
"There is such a thing. This... you mean, Huo Ping?" Huayue Saburo said in surprise.
Mrs. Zizhu nodded and said, "Yes, it is very likely that Huoping did this."
"But why would Huo Shanjun leave such an important matter to his son?" Huayue Sanlang said with surprise on his face.
Mrs. Zi Zhu said calmly: "It is precisely because Huoping is his son, so important things have to be left to him."
Hearing this, Sanlang Huayue and everyone present fell silent. After a while, he sighed deeply: "Madam, you were right in not wanting to marry Narcissus to Huoping."
Mrs. Zizhu frowned lightly. She was strongly opposed to this marriage at first, but unfortunately, her mother-in-law Mrs. Du and her husband Huayue Sanlang tried their best to promote this marriage, so...
"What are you talking about now?" In order not to make the mother-in-law above look ugly, Mrs. Zizhu said: "Now I just hope that Narcissus is not involved, otherwise... with the character of Zhenjun Hongqing"
Hearing the words 'Hongqing Zhenjun', Huayue Sanlang suddenly shuddered.
But Mrs. Du's eyes lit up and she quickly said to Sanlang Huayue: "Sanlang, can you please invite Zhenjun Hongqing to come here to meet you?"
"No." As soon as Mrs. Du finished speaking, Erlang Huayue said hurriedly: "Er Niang, you must not go to Zhenjun Hongqing to intercede at this time. Zhenjun Hongqing only respects the rules of heaven, and interceding with him now will only Make things more serious.”
Erlang Huayue was not born to Mrs. Du. Emperor Huayue had three wives, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Xiao.
Among them, Huayue Erlang was born to Mrs. Wang, Huayue Sanlang was born to Mrs. Du, and San Shengsheng was born to Mrs. Xiao.
After hearing Erlang Huayue's words, even though Mrs. Du was anxious, she still decided to make her decision from Fang Jian.
However, at this moment, a general from Xiyue Mansion quickly walked into the waiting court and reported to Madam Du: "Mrs. Qi, Huo Ping has been captured and has been sent to the Taiyi Thunder Division. The Great Hall is on trial.”
Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.
Today is not a small court meeting, so in the sky above the Lingxiao Palace, only Emperor Ziwei and Taibai Jinxing, as well as a group of immortal officials and heavenly generals on duty at the Lingxiao Palace are present.
"To Emperor Ziwei, the case of Nanzhan Buzhou tampering with Emperor Houtu's decree has been clearly heard." Fang Jian bowed to Emperor Ziwei. Because this matter involves Nanyue Mansion, Fang Jian must definitely report to Emperor Ziwei. Show Ming.
Emperor Ziwei heard the words and said: "Play it immediately."
So Fang Jian reported the whole process of the major case to Emperor Ziwei. The process was very simple. After Nantian Mansion sent the materials and legal decrees to Nanyue Mansion, Huo Shanjun, the Minister of Nanyue Mansion, wanted to train his son Huo Ping, so He was asked to help distribute talisman materials to various divine orders.
And Huo Ping is also a talented person, and he actually sees an opportunity to make a fortune here.
So he prepared a lot of blank legal documents in advance and asked Huo Shanjun to seal them. His argument was that it would be most convenient to stamp the seals in advance before writing the legal documents, and then ask Emperor Nanyue to seal them and send them out.
Out of trust in his son, Huo Shanjun actually stamped his seal on those blank legal documents.
But he never expected that his son was so courageous that after getting the document with the official seal, he directly tampered with the price of the talisman powder issued by Emperor Houtu's decree, and added an additional clause of 'turning over the robbery jade'.
After the decree was written, Huo Ping did not ask Emperor Nanyue to seal it, but sent it out directly, and moved all the supplies outside Nanyue in the name of being distributed subsequently, because he also included in the decree those items that were supposed to be distributed at once. The talismans and supplies distributed to the Immortal Officials and Divine Palaces in various places were collected by the Immortal Officials each month with the tribulation jade they turned in.
According to Huo Ping's interrogation, he used this method to earn nearly 50 million tribulation jades during this period. During the interrogation process, 31 million tribulation jades were recovered, leaving two thousand Huoping has spent tens of thousands of calamity jade, and has also purchased many properties in the Four Heavenly Streets of Tianhefang.
After listening to Fang Jian's report, Emperor Ziwei was not disturbed at all, but his words were very sharp: "You are the god of justice, you have full power to impose punishments."
"My minister, I sincerely abide by the law." Fang Jian bowed and said.
After Fang Jian paid his respects to Emperor Ziwei, he left the Lingxiao Palace.
But on the way back to the Lei Department, Fang Jian met Qingyan, a boy who accompanied Emperor Xuannu of the Nine Heavens.
"Fellow Taoist, are you waiting for me here specifically?" Fang Jian asked Qing Yan in surprise.
The boy Qingyan nodded and said, "The empress sent me here to wait for the true king."
Fang Jian looked solemn when he heard this and asked, "What is the decree from the Great Emperor Juntian?"
A boy from the Qing Dynasty said: "My Lady said: Fang Jian, Heaven's laws are merciless, and Heaven's power is like prison. But to enforce the law impartially, we also need to know who should be killed and who should not be killed. Kill those who should be killed, and do not kill those who should not be killed." . If you don’t kill those who should be killed, you are defying the laws of heaven. And killing indiscriminately those who should not be killed is blaspheming the laws of heaven. You must remember it!"
Fang Jian was slightly startled when he heard this, and then murmured to himself: "Not killing those who should be killed is contempt of the law of heaven. Killing those who should not be killed indiscriminately is blasphemy of the law of heaven."
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing also flew out from the Lingxiao Palace, landed in front of Fang Jian and said: "Zhenjun Hongqing, Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Houtu also have instructions for me to convey to you."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately looked at Taibai Jinxing solemnly.
Taibai Jinxing said: "The great emperor Ziwei and the great emperor Houtu said: Fang Jian, the earnest words of the great emperor Juntian are true and even good words. You should be able to understand them."
Hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, Fang Jian was startled, and immediately realized, he couldn't help but feel warm. The three great emperors were deliberately 'teaching and cultivating' themselves.
Emperor Ziwei did not say this in the Lingxiao Palace because he wanted to take care of his status as a judicial god and did not want him to feel that Emperor Ziwei was deliberately suppressing him or interfering with him.
Therefore, it is best for Jiutian Xuannv to say this to Fang Jian first, because it is absolutely impossible for Fang Jian to have negative emotions towards Jiutian Xuannv just because of a word.
The Five Emperors don't want to see him become a ruthless and murderous official, but they want him to become a judicial god who truly enforces the law impartially and can control the three realms! While the Five Emperors taught and trained him, he also had to take his own feelings into consideration. How many people in the Three Realms could receive such treatment?
Therefore, Fang Jian was very moved. He immediately bowed to Lingxiao Palace and Taishi Immortal Capital and said, "My lord, Fang Jian, please bear in mind the teachings of all the great emperors."
Then Fang Jian paid his respects to Taibai Jinxing and Qingyan Tongzi, and immediately returned to the Lei Department.
Taiyi Thunder Division, waiting to see the court.
The gods of Huashan, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, finally received Fang Jian's decree:
1. The culprit, Huo Ping, tampered with the decrees of the Great Emperor of Houtu without authorization and sold the materials of Heavenly Court to suppress the demonic calamity at high prices for personal gain. Several crimes were punished simultaneously. According to the law of heaven, he was sentenced to death in both form and spirit, and to never be reincarnated.
2. Huo Shanjun, the Minister of Nanyue Prefecture, seriously neglected his duties. He allowed a loose immortal who did not have the status of an immortal official in the Heavenly Court to intervene in the affairs of the Heavenly Court. He also listened to his words and used the seal of the Minister indiscriminately, thus making a big mistake. He was punished for several crimes and was sentenced to deprivation according to the law of heaven. All immortal officials were destroyed by thunder and fire, and their souls were thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and suffered forever.
3. Huo Yan, Huo An, Huo Xu, Huo Jing, Yu Yao, Fan Ling, Liu Ying'er and others knew about it but refused to report it. They colluded with Huo Ping and accepted stolen money. According to the law of heaven, they were sentenced to death by thunder and fire, and their souls were beaten. Entered the eighteenth level of hell, suffered three thousand years of hell, and then entered the animal realm for three reincarnations.
This verdict made Mrs. Du and others finally heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, they also saw that except for the two chief culprits Huo Ping and Huo Shanjun and his son, the rest of the people who knew about it in the Huo family were all sentenced to death.
Among the Huo family and Huoping's eighteen members, thirteen people were executed at once, and the remaining five were unknowing, including Huoping's mother, Mrs. Mingrui, and Huoping's wife, Princess Narcissus.
Mrs. Mingrui didn't know because she never asked about her husband and son's affairs. Princess Narcissus didn't know because Huo Ping had been living and drinking outside after doing this. Even if Princess Narcissus wanted to know, she had no chance to talk to Huo Ping. Ping asked.
But no matter what, the Huo family is finished, because the remaining five people are all female relatives. All the men of the Huo family and a few Huo family women who knew about it were all sent to the Immortal Killing Platform by Fang Jian!
