It is really unimaginable that this is the Criminal Court... I originally thought that an existence that could supervise various local city government offices and have the power to investigate and punish the Demon Suppression Division should be strict, solemn, insightful, and busy.
However, it wasn't until I actually came here today that I suddenly realized that it was completely different from what I had imagined.
Qi Feidu has begun to collude with the Sword Immortal Kingdom in the north to plot a rebellion... Yu Yixue, the princess of the Dragon Tribe on the western border, also took the opportunity to send a large number of evil spirits and ghosts into the territory of Dayan Kingdom.
There are a lot of internal and external troubles. But in the criminal court, there was still singing and dancing. They seemed to have no vigilance at all, no sense of crisis... Niu Yuanping was a little doubtful. Even if he really reported Qi Fei's collusion with the Sword Immortal Kingdom to the Criminal Court, what would be the use?
Do they really have a way to deal with it? With this question in mind, he followed the dancer leading the way and approached the wide seat.
The smell of alcohol permeated the light and shadow. Mixed with the breeze, it is slowly swaying here. The drunken people completely blended into the drunken atmosphere, and the whole hall was immersed in drunkenness.
Even if I didn't drink, I couldn't help but fall into a haze. Niu Yuanping was on one side and raised his eyes. I happened to see the dancer bowing respectfully to a figure on the throne to report:
"Sir, that man is here." The figure in the throne was half-covered by the gauze curtain. The yarn spreads as the breeze blows.
I finally saw clearly the true face of the person sitting in that seat. I saw that the man was wearing loose Chinese clothes, with the skirt open, revealing his fat body.
This is the criminal court officer, Liao Shen. He has a broad face and big ears, a pair of thick eyebrows and triangular eyes, and two slender mustaches.
It looks like a big catfish... At this moment, Liao Shenji is sitting on a huge throne, one big foot is in the throne, and the other foot is lazily put down.
With a smile on his lips, he looked down at the dance floor below with blurred eyes, chasing the graceful bodies of many beautiful dancers and savoring their charm.
While watching, he picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip. There was no trace of sobriety on his drunken face.
There was no alert posture or any state of vigilance that a criminal court officer should have... When the dancer approached, she bowed respectfully to him, and then whispered to her side:
When he said "Sir, that man is here", Liao Shen's half-closed and half-open drunken eyes finally slowly opened a little wider.
From the looks of it, he wasn't too drunk. Niu Yuanping noticed that Liao Shen slowly opened his triangular eyes and glanced in his direction.
He felt that the guy looked at his appearance up and down, and soon there was a hint of confusion on his face.
Then he gently waved his hand towards the talented dancer beside him and told her:
"It's okay here. You should go down and continue dancing and singing." The dancer received the order, bowed respectfully, and then left obediently.
At this time, Liao Chen put the wine glass back on the table, then moved his fat body in the throne again, straightened his body, and sat more upright.
He tried hard to focus his drunken eyes completely on Niu Yuanping in front of him. After looking at it carefully, Liao Shen's face became more confused.
But such a rich expression of confusion still couldn't completely cover up the drunkenness on his face.
"Who are you?...Why...Why do you come to see me?..." This was an expected question.
Niu Yuan replied calmly:
"My name is Niu Yuanping, and I am a demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Department! Today, I came uninvited because I have something very important to tell you!" Liao Shen, who was drunk, was stunned.
"Is this the Demon Slayer?..." He could not imagine that the Demon Slayer would come uninvited. You must know that the Criminal Court and the Demon Suppression Division have always been in opposition.
When a demon slayer meets the people of the Criminal Court, it is like a subordinate meeting a superior, or a mouse meeting a cat. That's not respect.
It's more like a deliberate alienation of keeping a respectful distance. Therefore, if not summoned by the Criminal Court, no demon-slayer would take the initiative to get involved with the Criminal Court.
So when he heard that the demon slayer was coming, Liao Shen looked very surprised. So he frowned and asked,:
"Demon Slayer... do you have something important to report? Let's talk about it." Niu Yuanping fell silent.
He glanced at the dancers on the dance floor waving their long sleeves and twisting their waists. He glanced at the surrounding spectators who were watching singing, dancing, drinking and chatting... and couldn't help but frown.
Then he stared at Liao Shen on the throne in front of him. Liao Shen lost his patience first. He narrowed his eyes and asked again:
"You tell me!...What's so important?" Niu Yuanping was a little helpless.
"Is this guy really a criminal court officer whose duties are investigation and punishment, and whose qualities are prudence and meticulousness?... Why is he so playful in doing things?..." He felt that this guy was really ignorant.
My meaning is so obvious, but as a criminal court judge, this guy can't understand it? How could important things be said in public amid such drunken singing and dancing?
Okay... let’s not beat around the bush with him. Niu Yuanping said straightforwardly:
"It's best to keep the things I'm telling you a secret...I hope I can talk to you alone." After hearing this, Liao Shen became even more impatient. He took a sip of wine and looked at the still lively dancing on the dance floor. .
Then he said to Niu Yuanping:
"Wait a moment... Everyone is in high spirits now. If I leave, won't it ruin everyone's fun? I'll wait until the banquet is over, and then I'll listen to you slowly." After saying that, he waved his hand and said:
"Get out of the way, don't block my sight." Then he stopped paying attention to the person in front of him and continued to immerse himself in the drunken singing and dancing.
Niu Yuanping was startled. He really didn't expect this... In the eyes of the fat catfish in front of him, nothing seemed worth worrying about.
You can see it on his face now. Even if the sky falls at this moment, there is no need to interrupt the banquet in front of them. Before the singing and dancing stops, they will never worry about anything else.
No wonder people say he has a broad heart and a fat body... Liao Shen's catfish-like fat body did not grow in vain!
No idea. The task given by the dragon girl Yu Yixue is to report Qi Fei's rebellion and collusion with the Sword Fairy Kingdom to the Criminal Court, so that the Criminal Court officials can report it to the royal family.
No matter what, we have to get this thing done...then we have to wait patiently. Niu Yuanping calmed down, stepped aside, and waited.
In this way, the banquet, dancing, and singing continued until late at night...
