"The crimes of these nobles in the Great Court will be investigated for a hundred million years."
When the people of the Qian Zhao Dao Kingdom in the Mirror City saw the announcement from the Heavenly Court of Judiciary Jade Palace, they were surprised and a little suspicious.
What is your crime? What crime is that? Causing chaos? Rebellious? But that is also the matter of Daoting, and Qianzhao Dao Kingdom is not a vassal state of Heavenly Court.
As if aware of the doubts of everyone in front of him, Tu Feng asked: "Fellow Taoists, is there anything you don't understand?"
Hearing Tu Feng's words, an old man with white beard and white hair, Daluo Jinxian, stepped forward and asked, "May I ask how you call this minister?"
"Hahaha." Tu Feng laughed, and then said to the old man: "Fellow Taoist, don't call me Gongqing. We don't have Gongqing in heaven. You can call me the 'Law Enforcement General'."
The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "There is no minister? Who will handle the state affairs in that court?"
Tu Feng said: "Immortal officials from various ministries."
The old man said: "Aren't these immortal officials just ministers? How can we say there are no ministers?"
Tu Feng smiled and said: "It's different. Immortal officials are just positions and do not have the privileges of Shiqing Shilu. If an immortal official makes a mistake, he will be punished and all authority and rights will be deprived. At the same time, the descendants of the immortal official are just ordinary living beings." , without any rights or privileges.”
"Really? I don't believe it." The old man shook his head and said.
Tu Feng was not angry, and just asked the old man: "Fellow Taoist, do you have any questions about this announcement?"
The old man said: "Yes."
Tu Feng immediately held up his hands and said, "Please speak."
The old man said: "It says that the crimes of all the nobles in the Great Court will be investigated for 100 million years. How do you check for these 100 million years? If you just check the memories, it will take more than ten years to check the memories of 100 million years. Bar?"
Tu Feng said with a smile: "We have a treasure in our Judiyu Mansion, which is called the 'Illumination of Injustice'. No matter who it is, as long as it is illuminated by this treasure, all the crimes committed by that person within 100 million years will be illuminated one by one." See the visible form.”
"Then what is a 'crime'? I mean, what kind of crime can be revealed in this 'redress of injustice'?" the old man asked again.
Tu Feng said: "The crime of harming the common people."
The old man asked again: "Then what is the crime of harming the common people?"
Tu Feng said with a smile: "It's very simple. If I were a minister, and I didn't like you on the road, I would kill you. This is called the crime of harming the common people."
"So simple?" the old man said in surprise, and the people around him began to talk about it, with a hint of doubt in his words.
Tu Feng nodded and said, "It's that simple."
The old man said: "But in this innate infinite world, it is not uncommon for people to attack and kill each other over disagreements. Are they all guilty?"
"So we only discuss Qinggui's crimes, not all living beings." Tu Feng said.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you want to say that, then you will kill all the nobles of the Great Court."
Tu Feng said with a smile: "After killing it, it's done. Without Qinggui, wouldn't all living beings be able to live?"
After saying that, Tu Feng cupped his hands and said to the people below: "Tomorrow, the Judiciary Palace will judge and enforce the law against the former minister of state on Qianzhao Road outside the city. Please tell each other that you can go to the city tomorrow to watch the execution."
Tu Feng then left with the heavenly soldiers sent by Daozun Gouchen to protect him and returned to the palace of Mingjing City.
The palace of Mingjing City was the former Immortal Palace of the Lord of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, and now it has become the temporary residence of Dao Zun Gouchen.
Within a day, the news spread quickly that the heavenly court was going to investigate Qing Gui's crimes for 100 million years, and that tomorrow he would be held in law enforcement outside the city to adjudicate the crime. For a time, the entire Mirror City was boiling.
Is Heaven just showing up? Or do you really want to accuse those nobles? The common people of the original Qianzhao Tao Kingdom immediately went to the outside of Mingjing City. When they arrived outside the city, they found that there were already three thousand heavenly soldiers outside the city. Under the leadership of the heavenly general, they began to move a huge The 'mirror platform' is located in the middle of the wide plain outside the city.
After the mirror stage was set up, these three thousand heavenly soldiers were on duty directly at the spot. They were wearing the "Four Elephants Qingyun God's Robe" and holding treasure blunderbuss. They were majestic, murderous and full of intimidation.
In Mingjing City, Tu Fengqi sent a memorial to Chen Daozun, requesting that all the nobles of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom be escorted outside the city for trial.
Gou Chen Daozun approved the report, and then issued an edict to Tu Feng to take full charge of escorting Qian Zhaodao's ministers outside the city for trial and adjudication of crimes, and ordered all spiritual officials, heavenly generals, and heavenly soldiers to fully cooperate with the law enforcement.
After sealing the decree, he immediately mobilized the heavenly troops according to the decree of Chen Daozun, and began to identify all the ministers and nobles of the Qianzhao Tao Kingdom and escort them outside the city.
Because the Heavenly Court has occupied the entire territory of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, all the dignitaries from all over Qianzhao Dao Kingdom have been sent to Mingjing City for custody.
Starting from the Qianzhao Dao Kingdom clan and headed by Yao Xiang, the leader of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, all the ministers and shaoqing were taken away by the heavenly soldiers and escorted outside the city.
As for the female relatives, servants and others who did not have titles in the major families, they were released.
Among them is Mei Qin, the young lady of the Wang family and the wife of Shaoqing Wang Chu.
Mei Qin chased her out with her two children. Her father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband and many members of the Wang family with titles were all escorted out of the city by the heavenly soldiers. Everyone had a strong look of fear on their faces. color.
"Husband, husband." Mei Qin and her two children were crying and chasing each other. Scenes like this were everywhere on Qinggui Street.
Countless teams gathered at the exit of the street, and Mei Qin even saw the country's leader, Yao Xiang, and the royal family of Qianzhao Dao King being escorted out and being detained like prisoners.
Moreover, the young leader Yao Xiang was still shouting loudly and complaining, "I led the country to surrender. I have merit. You can't treat me like this."
"Daozun Gouchen, my surrender is meritorious!"
"I want to see Taoist Gouchen, I want to see Taoist Gouchen!"
Yao Xiang's face was full of fear. Although he was being held by the heavenly soldiers, he was still struggling violently and shouting. At the same time, the ministers also shouted with Yao Xiang because of fear in their hearts.
"We are willing to surrender to heaven."
"Please spare us."
"Save our lives."
"Originally, I made cattle and horses for heaven."
In the face of the fear of death, these pretentious nobles can no longer maintain their usual nobility, or even the most basic insipidity.
The common people watching around were all shocked. Their faces were full of shock, as if their world view had been greatly impacted.
It turns out that when these ministers faced death, they behaved like the common people, or even worse than the common people.
"A bunch of cowards." Someone among the onlookers cursed, causing a commotion immediately.
The noise of the common people was not directed at the person who was scolding, but at these officials. At this moment, the 'sacredness' of these officials was broken.
"It turns out that these nobles are also greedy for life and afraid of death. After all, without the title and authority of the Great Court, they are just a group of ordinary monks. They are not superior to anyone else." A commoner commented sharply.
Just as Yao Xiang and others were shouting, Tu Feng appeared with the heavenly soldiers. He shouted loudly: "Whoever shouts again will be killed on the spot."
This sharp shout immediately shocked everyone, and then Tu Fengchao said to the ministers of Qianzhao Daoguo: "After the trial, everyone has their own sentencing. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and let those who deserve to be released. What are you shouting?"
Then Yao Xiang said to the heavenly soldiers who were responsible for escorting them: "Take all these people out of the city. Anyone who dares to make noise will be killed on the spot."
"Yes." The heavenly soldiers suddenly accepted the order, and then escorted the silent ministers out of the city.
At this time, Mei Qin, who was behind, also saw Tu Feng in front of her. She was in a daze for a moment. Tu Feng was so majestic and graceful that she could hardly believe that this person was Tu Feng.
But she was a little confused. Tu Feng was among the 200,000 soldiers who had been captured by the Heavenly Court. Didn't the rumors say that all the 200,000 soldiers were killed by the Heavenly Court?
After a moment, Mei Qin suddenly came to her senses. She realized that Tu Feng was not dead. The person in front of her was Tu Feng. Not only was he not dead, but he also held an important position in heaven.
Thinking of this, Meiqin glanced in the direction of her husband's family, and then returned home with her two crying children.
That night, a heavenly soldier came outside Tu Feng's cloud house, "Is the law enforcement general here?"
Tu Feng walked out of the Cloud Room and asked the Heavenly Soldier, "What's the matter?"
The Heavenly Soldier cupped his hands and said, "A Taoist friend came from outside the house. He said he is your old friend, the Law Enforcement Heavenly General, and he came here to see the Law Enforcement Heavenly General."
"Who is it?" Tu Feng asked.
Tianbing said: "It's a female Taoist named Mei Qin."
Tu Feng frowned, "Is it her?"
"Law Enforcement Heavenly General, do you know this person?" the Heavenly Soldier asked.
Tu Feng nodded and said: "I know you, but she must have come to me to plead for mercy. She is the wife of a young minister from Qianzhao Dao Kingdom."
When the Heavenly Soldier heard this, he immediately said: "Then I say you won't see guests?"
Tu Feng was about to agree, but after thinking about it, he added, "This person needs to be seen."
After saying that, Tu Feng walked down the steps and said to the heavenly soldiers: "Go and ask Officer Liu Lianling to come over."
Tianbing Wenyan, immediately bowed and sang: "Yes."
Not long after, Dongtian Doufu Military Fighting Spirit Officer Liu Lian came to Tu Feng's courtyard and asked Tu Feng: "General of the Law Enforcement, what do you want to see me for?"
Tu Feng stepped forward to greet him and bowed his head first, "Meet Liu Lingguan."
Liu Lian smiled and said to Tu Feng: "A law enforcement general doesn't need to be so polite. What do you want from me? Just tell me."
Tu Feng said: "That's it. I want to see an old friend, and I would like to ask Liu Lingguan to accompany him as a witness."
"Oh?" Liu Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of old friend is he?"
Tu Feng told Liu Lian the story about himself and Mei Qin. After hearing this, Liu Lian laughed loudly, patted Tu Feng on the shoulder and said, "So that's what happened, then you can be considered a homecoming in glory now."
Tu Feng shook his head and said, "That's why I want to ask Liu Lingguan to be a witness for me."
Liu Lian nodded and said: "It's good for you to be so cautious, but you are also too cautious. I know you are so cautious because you have just entered the Heavenly Court, but I, the Heavenly Courter, will not be so picky. You can go directly to see me. She, you just need to remember your identity as a law enforcement general. As long as you enforce the law impartially and act with integrity, then do what you have to do and see whoever you want to see, it’s no big deal."
Watching Liu Lian's leaving figure, Tu Feng stood there. Although he rejected his request, Tu Feng was not angry at all because Liu Lian's words untied his knot.
After all, he still had some knots in his heart, because he himself was originally a minister of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, and he only joined the Heavenly Court halfway.
Generally speaking, no one would trust such a person who surrendered halfway at the beginning. Now that he heard Liu Lian's words, his knot in his heart gradually eased.
"Liu Lingguan, how about I treat you to a drink in a few days?" Tu Feng asked loudly.
Liu Lian, who had already walked away, raised his hand and waved, and then a voice sounded: "Okay."
In Mirror City, outside the gate of the Temporary Palace of Heaven, Mei Qin was wearing a light green fairy skirt and her hair was combed in the bun of her youth. The fairy was standing gracefully and gracefully outside the gate.
When that familiar figure appeared in your sight, Mei Qin immediately went up to meet him.
Tu Feng also looked at the figure coming towards him, and returned to his youth in a trance, but he came back to his senses only after a moment, and his eyesight returned to clarity.
"Brother Tu." Mei Qin stood just one step away from Tu Feng and said with tears in her eyes: "You are indeed still alive. They said you and I have never believed it."
Tu Feng bowed his head to Mei Qin, then said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Mei Qin, you are well."
Mei Qin was stunned. After a moment, she looked at Tu Feng doubtfully and said, "Are you Brother Tu?"
"No." Tu Feng shook his head and said, "I am Tu Feng, the Heavenly Law Enforcement General of the Heavenly Court's 'Gaoshang Shenxiao Judicial Jade Mansion'. Fellow Daoist Mei Qin, are you here to intercede with Shaoqing Wang Chu?"
Mei Qinyu frowned. She wanted to admit it, but she didn't dare. She wanted to refute it, but it was against her will.
Seeing that she was speechless, Tu Feng immediately smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Mei Qin, you don't have to hide it. After so many years, I have already let go of what happened back then."
Hearing Tu Feng's words, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she still wiped away her tears and said to Tu Feng: "Brother Tu"
"Just call me Taoist friend Tu Feng." Tu Feng said with a smile.
Mei Qin felt even worse now, but she could only force a laugh, and then said to Tu Feng: "Brother Tu Dao, can you let my husband and the others go?"
"No." Tu Feng shook his head and said, "First of all, this is the decree of Zhenwu Taoist Master. Not to mention Wang Chu and the others, even those from the five major families of Daoting will also be tried. No one can be exempted."
Tu Feng made it very clear that this is not my personal hatred against the Wang family, nor is it because of you, but all the ministers in the Great Court will be like this.
Seeing that Tu Feng had spoken so clearly and so heartlessly, Mei Qin couldn't help but feel sad, "Can't we make an exception this time? If possible, I'm willing to do anything." At this point, Mei Qin looked at Tu with a faint look. seal up.
Tu Feng sighed, looked at Mei Qin and said: "Eighteen-year-old Mei Qin would never say such a thing, or am I wrong about eighteen-year-old Mei Qin, she is this kind of person? "
Meiqin's face turned pale. She stared at Tu Feng for a moment, then turned around and disappeared into the night.
Tu Feng looked at Mei Qin's disappearing figure and sighed again. He suddenly smelled a breathtaking fragrance in the air, but Tu Feng raised his sleeve and directly dispersed the fragrance.
This wisp of scattered fragrance was like a piece of past that had been cut off, disappearing completely in Tu Feng's heart.
When Tu Feng returned to his Yunfang, his Taoist heart had been perfected and there was nothing missing.
The next day, outside Mingjing City, Tu Feng read out the decrees between Chen Daozun and Zhenwu Daozun, and announced that the trial had officially begun.
At the same time, a Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian from the Fengyi tribe also appeared in a conspicuous position in the crowd. He had received permission from Dao Zun Gou Chen to record today's trial of the Duke of Qian Zhao Dao and disseminate it in photos. go out.
On the vast plain outside Mingjing City, hundreds of thousands of people from the Qian Zhao Dao Kingdom crowded the entire plain, and even the sky was filled with people standing in layers.
"Start." After reading the edict, Tu Feng immediately ordered the general to start the trial.
The first person to be brought up was Yao Xiang, the leader of the Qian Zhao Dao Kingdom. At this time, Yao Xiang was so frightened that his whole body was weak. He was dragged directly to the prosecution stand by the heavenly soldiers.
As the divine light on the injustice platform swept across Yao Xiang's body, everyone present saw a light curtain appear on the injustice platform. All the crimes Yao Xiang committed were reflected in the shadow. The forms were revealed one by one in the light curtain.
When Yao Xiang saw all this, his face turned pale. Tu Feng finally took out a jade slip from the grievance table. After looking at the jade slip, he shouted to Yao Xiang: "Yao Xiang, you have committed a serious crime of thirty Four counts, twenty-seven for medium crimes and sixty-eight for misdemeanors. According to the laws of heaven and jade, you should be beheaded to death."
"No!" Yao Xiang shouted loudly: "I have merit, I have merit for surrendering! Daozun Gou Chen said personally that I have merit for surrendering!"
Tu Feng nodded and said: "Yes, you have merit for surrendering, but you only surrendered when the heavenly army came to the capital, so your merit is halved. Your remaining merit can offset the thirty-four serious crimes, but you will still be punished. Those are twenty-seven moderate crimes and sixty-eight misdemeanors.”
After saying that, Tu Feng reached out and touched the jade slip, and finally announced: "Yao Xiang, the former leader of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, was exempted from the thirty-four felonies due to his meritorious service in surrendering, and was punished with the remaining moderate crimes and misdemeanors: Original Yao Xiang, the leader of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, deprived him of all authority, confiscated all his property, ordered him to participate in labor reform for ten thousand years, and granted him freedom after ten thousand years."
Hearing that he did not have to die, Yao Xiang's despair suddenly turned into ecstasy. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and worshiped loudly: "Yao Xiang thanks Heaven for its grace, thanks Heaven for its grace."
"Go ahead." Tu Feng waved his hand and said.
Yao Xiang was immediately taken into custody by two heavenly generals, followed by Yao Xiang's relatives and the Shangqing families of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom.
Next is the time to really open the eyes of the people of Yuan Qian Zhao Dao. Among these people, Yao Xiang's thirty-four felonies are just a fraction.
All the Shangqings and the Shangqing family in Qianzhao Dao Kingdom have at least 500 serious crimes committed on each of them, especially one of Yao Xiang's sisters, Yao Mei, whose crimes are even more shattering.
Yao Mei had a granddaughter, and this granddaughter had an extremely handsome and powerful husband. Then Yao Mei had an inappropriate relationship with her grandson-in-law. Finally, Yao Mei's granddaughter learned about this and refused to let it go. Yao Mei He actually sent someone to kill the granddaughter.
And this is just one of Yao Mei's 633 serious crimes. After reading the crimes of Yao Mei and others, the people of Yuan Qianzhao Dao Kingdom felt that their outlook on life had been greatly impacted, and it could be said that they were completely shattered. One place.
Even the old man who had questioned Tu Feng lamented at this moment: "Now I finally understand the intention of Heavenly Court. These nobles should all be killed! Even the immortal energy will be polluted by them if they stay in the world."
In the end, twenty-nine senior ministers and one hundred and forty-four junior ministers from the Qianzhao Taoist clan were all sentenced to behead their bodies and destroy their gods.
Then came the ministers of the major families in Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, a total of seventeen people, all of whom were beheaded.
Then there were the young ministers of various clans in the Qianzhao Tao Kingdom, a total of 321 people. Only nine of them were innocent, 12 had misdemeanors, three were found guilty but were not executed, and the rest were all sentenced to beheading their bodies and destroying their gods.
Mei Qin's husband, Wang Chu, was naturally also on the list of those who had been beheaded. When more than six hundred corpses were neatly placed together, the entire outside of Mirror City was filled with a strong smell of blood and a chilling atmosphere. Flooded.
Those corpses represented that the great clan of Gongqing who had ruled the Qianzhao Dao Kingdom for endless years had been almost wiped out, and they had since become a drop of water in the long river of the Infinite World.
Finally, the 660,000-mile territory of the Qianzhao Tao Kingdom was divided by the Heavenly Court into the two states of "Chiyou" and "Shaohao", and were officially brought under the control of the Heavenly Court.
When the Fengyi Clan's Shuyi spread the news about what happened in Qianzhao Dao Kingdom to all directions in the form of photos, the entire Dao Court was boiling.
All the ministers in the Grand Court thought that they would be tried like criminals and have all the crimes they had committed exposed in front of countless people. This was absolutely unacceptable to them. There is a fight to the death with Heaven!
But then, these people changed their minds about fighting to the end, because Daozun Gouchen issued an edict:
As long as all the feudal states and ministers of the Great Court voluntarily surrender to the Heavenly Court before the war with the Heavenly Court, they can avoid trial and save themselves and the lives of the whole clan. But he will be deprived of all his authority, 70% of his property will be confiscated, and he will become an ordinary creature under the rule of heaven.
The inherited Tao kingdoms, including the five great regents of Daoting and the five great Taifu, all allowed surrender and would not take any blame.
But if you surrender after fighting with the Heavenly Court, you will have to accept trial, and your life and death will not be up to you.
So as soon as this edict came out, except for the center of the Daoting, almost all the Dao kingdoms, from the king to the ministers, began to consider this way out.
In particular, the fate of Yao Xiang of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom has set an example for all kings. If you can recognize the current situation and surrender early, your fate will be much better than Yao Xiang.
What's more important is that there is Chongjiang Daoguo as an example ahead.
So just three months after the fall of Qianzhao Dao Kingdom, Jingshan Dao Kingdom, Fuyu Dao Kingdom, and Baizhen Dao Kingdom took the initiative to submit letters of surrender to Gouchen Dao Zun.
All the heavens accepted the surrender, the Jingshan Tao Kingdom was divided into three states, the Fuyu Tao Kingdom was divided into four states, and the Baizhen Tao Kingdom was divided into one state.
Yunzhu Daozun, the former leader of the Jingshan Tao Kingdom, was granted the title of Heavenly King of Chiyou Prefecture, and was responsible for controlling all living things in Chiyou Prefecture on behalf of Heaven.
The former leader of the Fuyu Dao Kingdom, Gu Can, and all the officials and nobles were deprived of all their power and 70% of their property was confiscated. However, the Heavenly Court still allocated houses for them and their clansmen to live and settle in Cheng'a Prefecture.
As for the Baizhen Tao Kingdom, it enjoys the same treatment as the Chongjiang Tao Kingdom. The state designated by the Baizhen Tao Kingdom is still called "Baizhen State". The leader of the Baizhen Tao Kingdom, Taizong Taoist, is appointed as the king of heaven and controls all living beings in Baizhen State on behalf of heaven. thing.
In particular, Zong Xi, the former prince of Baizhen Taoist Kingdom and nephew of Taoist Taizong, was attracted by Taoist Gou Chen when he followed Taoist Taoist to meet Dao Zun Gou Chen. He immediately gave a test and Zong Xi passed the test perfectly. Test and compare.
So Taoist Gou Chen sent a memorial to Taoist Master Ziwei of Zhongtian North Pole, and granted Zong Xi the title of Heavenly King of Shaohao Prefecture, to govern all living beings in Shaohao Prefecture on behalf of Heaven.
At the same time, Heavenly Court also screened many ministers of Baizhen Tao Kingdom and appointed them one by one. Even if they were not appointed, their assets would not be confiscated, but they would be made rich.
In this way, after Jingshan Daoguo, Fuyu Daoguo, and Baizhen Daoguo made another demonstration in person, more Daoguo countries chose to surrender under Gou Chen Daozun's military front.
Of course, there are also those who refuse to surrender and choose to resist stubbornly. For this, the Heavenly Court has only one choice: to destroy their country, then judge their king and ministers, and finally execute them all according to crime.
then
"Within a hundred years, the Heavenly Court has surrendered seventy-five countries, destroyed twenty-one countries, expanded its territory by tens of billions of skyscrapers, and made three states out of two hundred. The Great Court exists in name only, and only 'Jade Capital' is left isolated and helpless. The general trend of the unification of the Heavenly Court has been completed. .”
One hundred years later, the Heavenly Court issued an edict to initially pacify the "Two Hundred and Thirty Prefectures", and ordered Gouchen Daozun, the leader of the "Gaoshang Shenxiao Sijun Yufu", to lead 300,000 heavenly troops to attack the Daoting.
Three months later, an army of 300,000 troops came to the outside of Yujing City. At first, Daoting destroyed Tianting in Xishuo Prefecture with an army of 300,000 people. Now Tianting also used 300,000 troops to destroy Daoting.
