Fang Jian asked Xuanling Tianjun: "Xuanling Tianjun, are there any serious cases in Nantian Mansion that need to be reported to heaven recently?"
Hearing Fang Jian's question, the pupils of Master Dao Yi in the Immortal Class shrank, and cold sweat began to break out on his body.
When Xuanling Tianjun heard this, he still didn't understand why the Xiaochao Council ordered him to participate in the Nantian Mansion today. This was obviously the incident involving the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain!
Thinking of this, Xuanling Heavenly Lord immediately bowed and said, "Hui Hongqing Zhenjun, I do have an important case to report to the Heavenly Court."
Fang Jian said: "Is this the case about the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain eating the souls of the dead?"
Xuan Ling Tianjun was stunned for a moment, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said bravely: "Yes."
Fang Jian said: "Really? But why have neither the Lei Department nor the Taixuan Province received any memorials or approvals from Nantian Mansion regarding this case in more than ten days?"
"This" Xuan Ling Tianjun was immediately speechless. He did not expect that Fang Jian had learned so much about the case in detail, and could even grasp the time of the incident so accurately.
At this time, Fang Jian asked again: "Shang Shu Baizhen, you personally led the capture and killing generals, the generals who defeated the altar and the ultimatum envoys to capture the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain, right?"
Shangshu Baizhen was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Fang Jian even knew this? At this time, the capture general behind him suddenly lost his voice and said, "Daoist Da Fang."
Shangshu Baizhen felt as if he was thunderstruck for a moment. After a moment of confusion, he bowed and worshiped: "Hui Hongqing Zhenjun, the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain will indeed be captured by the lower official himself."
"Where are the people?" Fang Jian asked.
Cold sweat dripped from Shangshu Bai Zhen's forehead, "Hui Hongqing Zhenjun, the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain is the underworld god, and has been handed over to the underworld for disposal."
Fang Jian said calmly: "Oh? Really? What about the approval document for the transfer? The ghost king of Partridge Mountain intercepted the dead souls on the Huangquan Road without authorization to feed him with blood for cultivation. For such a major case, even if your Nantian Mansion wants to hand it over to the underworld, you should report it to the Lei Department. The report must be approved by the Taiyi Thunder Department, where is the approval?"
Shangshu Bai Zhen was speechless. What he wanted to say was that the Southern Ghost Emperor ordered the transfer. They only listened to the Southern Ghost Emperor's decree. How could they report it to the Lei Department?
But at this time, neither Xuanling Tianjun nor Baizhen Shangshu dared to involve the Southern Ghost Emperor. Therefore, the moment Fang Jian asked where the approval document was, Xuanling Tianjun and Baizhen Shangshu immediately knelt down to capture and kill the general. The others also knelt on the ground and apologized in unison: "We are guilty of dereliction of duty, please punish me, Lord Hongqing."
Fang Jian ignored Xuan Ling Tianjun and others who were kneeling on the ground, but loudly said to the gods in the hall: "According to the investigation, the ghost king of Partridge Mountain in the underworld took advantage of his position to cause frequent wars in Nanzhan continent, and the world was in turmoil. On this occasion, they have used their authority to intercept the souls of the dead in the world and feed them with blood to practice Taoism. It has been more than a year now, and no less than one hundred thousand souls have been harmed."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, there was a burst of exclamation in the Lingxiao Palace, and all the gods looked at Emperor Fengdu, the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions and Lord Yan of the Ten Palaces in shock.
Emperor Fengdu was also very horrified at this moment. Before Fang Jian's announcement, only Emperor Wuyu knew the details of this matter.
Emperor Fengdu asked Fang Jian with a serious face: "Fang Jian, is the evidence for what you said conclusive?"
Fang Jian turned around and reported: "To the Emperor Fengdu, I have obtained the exact evidence and there is no falsehood."
When Emperor Fengdu heard this, he was extremely angry, and a fire suddenly rose in his chest. He glanced coldly at the Tenth Palace Yama, but he restrained his anger.
Because the Five Imperial Emperors had issued an edict, Fang Jian would preside over the minor court meeting, and Fang Jian was the God of Justice, so even though he was the emperor, he could not interfere.
Fang Jian turned around and called again: "Where is Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace?"
The Lord of the Tenth Hall, who was still in shock, suddenly came to his senses, then quickly walked out of the immortal class with the jade tablet in his arms, came to the center of the hall, bowed and said, "Here you are."
Fang Jian asked: "Dear Lords of Hell, Nantian Mansion said that it has handed over the ghost king of Parthen Mountain to the underworld for disposal. How did the underworld handle it?"
Upon hearing this, the Lords of the Tenth Palace looked at each other and quickly exchanged opinions with their eyes. Then King Qin Guang bowed and worshiped: "Zhenjun Huihongqing, we did not know that Nantian Mansion did not hand over the case of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain to us. "
Hearing this, Fang Jian turned to look at Xuanling Tianjun and asked: "Xuanling Tianjun, Tenth Palace Yanjun said he didn't know anything about it, so who did you transfer this case to?"
Xuanling Tianjun raised his head, then pointed at the trembling Master Yanyi in the immortal class and said: "Zhenjun Hongqing, we are the ghost king of Partridge Mountain and all his belongings handed over to Master Zhou Jueyintian Palace. evidence."
As soon as Xuan Ling Tianjun finished speaking, Master Yan Yi was shaken all over. Then he walked out of the immortal class tremblingly, came to the side of Yan Jun of the Tenth Palace and worshiped: "Hui Hongqing Zhenjun, Nantian Mansion is indeed the partridge handed over to the lower official. Mountain Ghost King."
Lord Yan of the Ten Palaces looked at Master Dou in shock, while the other five guardian gods also looked at Master Dou in disbelief.
Fang Jian asked Master Dou Yi, "Master Dou Yi, how did you judge?"
Master Yanyi said bravely: "Hui Hongqing, I believe that the evidence of the Partition Mountain Ghost King eating dead souls with blood is not conclusive and needs to be ascertained, so I first imprisoned the Partition Mountain Ghost King among the ghosts of Yin Mountain."
"Oh?" Fang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Nantian Mansion already hand over all the evidence to you?"
The official said: "Yes, but the evidence is too vague and is not enough to prove that the ghost king of Partridge Mountain eats the souls of the dead. The lower official has already destroyed them all."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Shangshu Baizhen exclaimed and said quickly: "The evidence is irrefutable! How can it not prove the guilt of the Ghost King of Parthen Mountain!"
Xuanling Tianjun closed his eyes in despair. He knew that the worst thing that should have happened happened, and the God of Zhou Jueyintian Palace protected his nephew after all.
"No, those evidences are not sufficient." Master Daoyi continued to insist.
Fang Jian saw that the master was so stubborn, so he said: "Well, I have two people here. I would like to ask the God of Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace to meet them."
Master Yanyi raised his head and saw Fang Jian loudly preaching: "Xuanfeng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian came to the palace to pay their respects."
Soon, everyone turned to look at the door of Lingxiao Palace, and saw Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian, led by a heavenly general, walking in step by step with their heads lowered and their bodies hunched over, and they walked into the hall with great restraint.
After arriving at the center of the hall, the two souls felt the awe-inspiring power coming from around them and trembled involuntarily. At the reminder of the general, the two quickly raised their heads and glanced at the emperors above the sky, and then quickly bowed down and said: "Taoist disciples Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian pay homage to the Five Emperors, all the emperors, and all the gods and immortals."
"Pingsheng." Taibai Jinxing shouted.
The two thanked them and stood up, and then Fang Jian said to Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian: "Two fellow Taoists, please report the matter of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain to the Five Imperial Emperors and other emperors in detail. Don't be afraid. Above the Xiaobao Palace, I will administer justice to you two."
"Yes." Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian bowed and then began to tell, from Feng Dingnan's discovery of the ghost king of Partridge Mountain eating dead souls to their execution in Nantian Mansion, everything was described in great detail. Report.
After Feng Dingnan and Yun Ding Tianqi finished playing, before the gods in heaven expressed their stance, a group of Taoist masters spoke up.
Just listen to Empress Bixiao say: "A Taoist disciple who is so compassionate and righteous, has a heart for the common people, is not afraid of power, and dares to uphold justice has ended up with his body and head missing. It really chills the hearts of monks all over the world."
All the Taoist gods sighed after hearing this, while the emperors in heaven had gloomy expressions on their faces. This was undoubtedly a slap in their faces.
After Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian finished their presentation, Fang Jian immediately took out all the evidence and displayed it directly in front of all the gods.
When Master Yanyi saw the souls of Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian, he was already in despair, but when he saw the evidence of Fang Jian, he completely gave up any hope of luck.
"Report to the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors." After Jiutian Yingyuan Thunderous Purification Heavenly Lord saw the evidence, he immediately reported to the Great Emperor of the Five Emperors: "The case of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain is truly shocking. Please severely punish those involved in dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. Immortal official."
Leizu started, and Emperor Fengdu immediately reported: "I second the proposal!"
Then all the emperors reported: "I second the proposal!"
However, among all the emperors, only the Southern Ghost Emperor Du Ziren did not move much, but his brows were furrowed, his face was solemn, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life.
Emperor Ziwei raised his hand to suppress the anger of the angry emperors, and then said: "Fang Jian is the god of justice. All matters involving the laws of heaven should be adjudicated by Fang Jian with full authority, and no one is allowed to interfere."
When the emperors heard this, they immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
Afterwards, the entire Lingxiao Palace fell silent again. Fang Jian stood with his scepter in his arms. His eyes first fell on the immortal officials of Nantian Mansion and said: "Nantian Mansion Xuanling Tianjun and Baizhen Minister seriously neglected their duties and refused to report this serious case." Failure to report, unauthorized transfer of felons and evidence, and failure to report to the Ministry of Lei afterward, violated the law of heaven and the wishes of all living beings! According to the "Tian Tiao·Xianguan Law", Xuanling Tianjun and Baizhen Shangshu were guilty of bending the law for personal gain. , for the crime of serious dereliction of duty, according to the law, all immortal officials and priests will be removed, demoted to casual cultivators, and never hired, as per the law."
After being sentenced, Xuanling Tianjun and Baizhen Shangshu looked pale and ashen. Hundreds of millions of years of hard work and achievements disappeared today, and everything seemed like a dream.
"Where is the general in front of the palace?" Fang Jian shouted.
Song Kuang, the general of the left guard in front of Lingxiao Palace, and Han Hao, the general of the right guard in front of Lingxiao Palace, immediately stepped forward and said, "The last general is here."
Fang Jian raised his hand and issued two talisman edicts, sent them to the two heavenly generals and said: "Remove the two immortal officials' divine robes and drive them out of Daluotian."
"Follow the law and decree." The two accepted the talisman, and then waved their hands to remove the robes of Xuanling Tianjun and Baizhen Shangshu. The two stood up tremblingly, bowed to the emperors, and then were thrown into despair. Brought out of Lingxiao Palace.
Seeing Tianjun and Shangshu turn into immortals in the blink of an eye, he was also frightened to capture and kill the general and others.
Then he heard Fang Jian say: "Nantian Mansion captured and killed General Wei Heng, General Zhang Jingchi who defeated the altar, General Wu Yuande who destroyed the temple, and Xiang Yuan who delivered the ultimatum. If they knew about it and failed to report it, they were accomplices to dereliction of duty. They were fined a hundred years and jailed. He went to the Lei Department and received thirty thunder lashes, but he still held his position and was not allowed to be promoted for a thousand years!"
After hearing the punishment for themselves, the four people who captured and killed the general breathed a sigh of relief. The punishment was already very light. They all bowed to express their gratitude, and then were taken away by the general.
After dealing with everyone in Nantian Mansion, Fang Jian's eyes fell on Mr. Dao Yishang.
Fang Jian said sternly: "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace's divine seal is also a master. He allowed his nephew to commit a heinous crime and refused to report it. Afterwards, he protected the serious criminals, destroyed the evidence, and brutalized the righteous monks Feng Dingnan, Yun Dingtian and many souls. , the crime will not be forgiven! According to Articles 15 and 16 of the "Tian Tiao·Xianguan Law": Immortal officials condone the crimes of their relatives, shield felons, and harm living beings. All immortal officials should be deprived of their priesthood and fruit status, and be punished with disciplinary punishments. Being thrown into the animal realm for ten reincarnations is like a law."
What is visible on the outside is called form, and what is invisible on the inside is called God. The fractal punishment in heaven is similar to Ling Chi in the human world, which splits the physical body. The process is long and painful.
"Where is the general in front of the palace? Take off the robe of the immortal official 'Dou Yi' and take him to the Immortal Killing Platform." Fang Jian issued a talisman and said.
The general in front of the palace stepped forward, received the Fu Zhao and chanted the order, and then escorted Master Daoyi, who was limp and ashen-faced, and should not be Daoyidao now.
Fang Jian again cast his gaze on Lord Yama of the Tenth Palace and said: " Lord Yama of the Tenth Palace, the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain has been intercepting the blood-eating souls of the dead for more than a year. Why didn't you find out?"
Lord Yan of the Ten Palaces was also feeling aggrieved at the moment. The Tang Dynasty was in such chaos, people were dying every day, and the underworld was almost overwhelmed. How could they remember to check and count the number of dead souls one by one?
But this is not the reason. This kind of thing is supposed to be 'reconciled' after the world has calmed down. As long as nothing happens, the underworld will do it this way, but this time something happened, and they were also implicated.
"We are guilty of dereliction of duty. Please punish me, Lord Hongqing." Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace Fubai confessed his crime.
Fang Jian said calmly: "The Lord of Hell of the Tenth Palace neglected his duties, causing countless dead souls to be devoured and mutilated. According to the laws of heaven, the Lord of Hell of the Tenth Palace will fine him a thousand years, and he will not be promoted or granted any status within a Yuanhui! If Laws and Orders.”
At this moment, Lord Yan of the Ten Palaces really had the heart of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain and Taoist Daoyi. Who would have thought that he would be working there smoothly, but suddenly disaster would fall from the sky!
What an injustice, such a huge injustice! But this is also a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis. He cannot express the pain and can only swallow the bad consequences alive.
But suddenly, Fang Jian changed the topic and said: "If the underworld can be safe and orderly within the next thousand years, and there will be no evil evil officials, this punishment order can be revoked after a thousand years."
Hearing this, Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace felt his eyes light up. It was really a bright feeling, and they all bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Hongqing, for your kindness. We will be diligent and prudent in the future, manage the underworld, and never let him suffer again." Things like this happen.”
After saying that, Lord Yan of the Tenth Hall bowed to him again, then stood up and joined the Immortal Class.
As for the other five guardian gods in Luo Feng's Six Heavens, Fang Jian knew that they had no knowledge of this case. Luo Feng's Six Heavens were only the guardian gods of the underworld and did not have the authority of the Ten Palaces of Hell, so the other five Since the Palace Guard God didn't know about it, he wouldn't be implicated. Fang Jian ordered them to come just to give them a warning.
And the effect was exactly the same. Seeing Fang Jian enforcing the laws of heaven so resolutely, the gods in the hall all had complicated expressions and solemn faces.
"The Ghost King of Partridge Mountain, as an immortal official in the heaven and a yin god in the underworld, dared to intercept the dead souls and feed the souls with their blood. This is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned. He ordered the Lei Department to arrest him immediately and punish him with thunder and fire to destroy his form, and the sky thunder to kill the god. The punishment of destruction of both spirit and form. All the ghost generals, yin soldiers, and ghost voyeurs of Partridge Mountain Ghost Demon will be executed, and their souls will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell. In addition, all underworld yin gods, yin soldiers, and ghost voyeurs who are related to or know about this matter will be punished. Wait, they will all be executed, and their souls will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell, just like the law!" Fang Jian issued a talisman edict and sent it to a general in front of the palace.
The general in front of the palace immediately accepted the Fu Zhao, then chanted and accepted the order, and quickly left the Lingxiao Palace and went straight to the Lei Department.
At this time, no matter the principal criminal, the accomplice or the shielding criminal, had been punished, just when everyone thought that the matter was over, when Yin Xi, the real person of Wenshi, came out to petition Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian to reward Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian, Fang Jian unexpectedly Stopped him: "Master Wenshi, wait a minute, this case is not over yet."
"Oh?" Yin Xi, the real person of Wenshi, looked at Fang Jian doubtfully, then nodded and returned to the immortal class.
Then, Fang Jian reported to the Five Emperors: "Your Majesty Fang Jian reported to the Five Emperors that in the case of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain, the Southern Ghost Emperor interfered with the Nantian Prefecture's judgment as an emperor and forced the Nantian Prefecture to transfer the case to Zhou Jueyin. The God of the Heavenly Palace ordered the execution of two Taoist friends, Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian, without mercy. This action has violated the law of heaven. I request the approval of the Five Imperial Emperors to interrogate the Southern Ghost Emperor!"
As soon as Fang Jian said this, everyone in the Lingxiao Palace was shocked. Even the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao opened their eyes wide and looked at Fang Jian in disbelief.
Now, does Fang Jian, a minister, actually want to attack the emperor of heaven?
At this time, Yan Hui, the chief envoy of Taixuan Province, suddenly stood up and said: "Zhenjun Hongqing, the Southern Ghost Emperor is the emperor of heaven. The king has the right to interfere with the minister. This does not violate the law of heaven."
After Yan Hui finished speaking, all the gods in the heaven stood up and used various words to prove that the Southern Ghost Emperor had the right to interfere in this matter, including Lord Zhou Tianxing.
In the end, even the Three Officials, the Five Thunder Emperors, and the Nine Emperors of Shenxiao all stood up to speak for the Southern Ghost Emperor. They had to say this because it had touched upon his own interests. If the Southern Ghost Emperor today because of this incident The matter was handled by Fang Jian, the God of Justice, so Fang Jian, the God of Justice, can also handle them in the future. In short, the God of Justice cannot punish the Emperor of Heaven!
This is not only the bottom line for emperors, but also the bottom line for all immortal officials. Isn’t it just for the privileges in high positions that you work so hard to climb up? Now you want to take away or even shake these privileges, how can everyone agree?
Finally, Confucius, the real person of Wenxuan, stood up and said: "The reason why you have done something wrong is because your ministers failed to fulfill their duty of admonition. Besides, all the evidence cannot prove that the Southern Ghost Emperor harbored the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain. He just asked Nantian Mansion to hand over the case to The God of Yintian Palace, Zhou Jue, was not involved in the details of this case. What's more, "punishing the king with his ministers" is something that has never happened since ancient times. If punishment is really necessary, the immortal officials under the Southern Ghost Emperor should be punished. The ministers, they failed to fulfill their duty of admonishing the monarch, which caused the emperor to make some mistakes. The blame lies not with the emperor, but with the emperor's ministers."
At the end of his speech, Confucius immediately reported to the Five Emperors: "I would like to punish all the immortal officials and ministers in the Ghost Emperor's Mansion in the South, so as to uphold the righteousness of the emperor."
After Confucius finished speaking, all the gods from heaven and Taoism, emperors and immortal officials stood up one after another to second the speech of Confucius to the emperor of the five emperors.
In an instant, Fang Jian became a loner.
(No more tonight, everyone should go to bed early, there will be two updates together tomorrow)
