Chapter 331: Acting recklessly beforehand and regretting afterwards
After waiting for several breaths, no one answered Chu Chen.
There were only a few ghosts and gods who kept on defending themselves, with only a few pale words going back and forth.
Chu Chen was too lazy to talk to them and closed his eyes to rest.
No buying and selling, no harm.
The ghosts and gods he invited were all ghosts and gods who had purchased incense for worship.
The lowest crime is to help the devil sell stolen goods, neglect and dereliction of duty. No one is an innocent god.
As for the extent of the final crime, it depends on the follow-up investigation.
This time, Han Chen paid great attention to him and gave him the full command of "wiping out the demons and demons in Yunlin". He did not need to charge into battle and wipe out the demons personally. He only had to sit in the center, dispatch all troops and wait for the news.
It’s done.
As long as we sweep Yunlin County with lightning speed and arrest the demons and ghosts that surface, everything will naturally come to light.
The meeting hall was quiet, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.
The county's Department of Ghosts and Gods has strict restrictions, so there is no chance to spread the news, and there is no knowledge of the situation outside.
All the ghosts and gods were restless.
I want to avoid this place, but I don't dare to take even half a step out of the main hall.
Once you step out of the meeting hall, you are fleeing in fear of crime.
The Du Guan can hold the Seal of the City God in his hand, and the seal can deprive them of their status as gods, reducing them from worshiping ghosts and gods to wild gods. This fate is even more serious than committing a crime.
Many ghosts and gods feel weak and depressed.
The green smoke from the incense burner curled up, and time passed by the tip of everyone's noses.
The calm and focused Xinxiang did not calm down the ghosts and gods, but made them more and more restless.
After a stick of incense.
The Yunlin Duguan Order turned into a puff of blue smoke again, presenting a picture.
"This god is the Niutou General of Guangping County. I was ordered to exterminate the demons in Tuwea Mountain. Fortunately, I fulfilled my order and captured all the demons. I seized countless stolen goods of all kinds and enshrined hundreds of contract documents..."
Not long after the first good news came, another picture appeared in the [Yunlin Metropolitan Control Order].
"In charge of Chu Du, Pindao is the deputy leader of Ding Squad A in Huanghaoyuan, Guangping County. He was ordered to lead the troops to destroy the sixth Yunwu Ghost City stronghold. The stronghold has been controlled and the contract documents have been seized. The human race is full of energy and souls.
Waiting for countless stolen goods..."
...
In the following period, good news came frequently.
As soon as Xianting takes action, it will sweep the caves and sweep the entire underground demon world in Yunlin County.
All demons that surfaced from the "cloud ghost market" and whose whereabouts were exposed were swiftly and fatally struck.
The ghosts and gods in the meeting hall looked at the clear smoke scene where people kept "announced the good news", especially when they heard the "contract document", their hearts trembled, and Chu Chen's words "confession is lenient, resistance is lenient" constantly appeared in their minds.
Strictly".
Subsequently, people from all walks of life in Xianting began to examine on the spot, and evidence emerged one by one, and was presented one by one through the scenes that evolved in the metropolitan control order.
When some ghosts and gods saw that the immortal officials of the Immortal Court found their own names in the ledger of an underground bank owner, they stopped making excuses.
"No matter what, the little god pleads guilty. He was so greedy for profit that he bought some incense from shady sources and did stupid things. However, the little god dares to swear to God that he has never colluded with monsters to harm the people.
.”
This is an eighth-grade land god who is in charge of a certain township under Yunlin and has a reputation as a virtuous man.
As the land god "confessed his crime and surrendered", other ghosts and gods could no longer sit still.
"No matter what, the little god also bought incense to worship..."
"So is the little god, please show your respect..."
...
Not long after, the ghosts and gods in the palace all prostrated themselves in large numbers and bowed again and again.
In the past, these ghosts and gods were so aloof and do whatever they wanted, but now they are so submissive and full of regrets.
"Hey, no matter what, the little god is confused. I belong to this land, protect the peace and tranquility of the people, benefit the land, live forever, live freely, how wonderful my life is, but I have been the land god in this land for a long time, and everyone respects and worships me.
Over and over again, we lost our sense of awe, developed demonic greed, let luck turn into inner demons, and mistakenly led us onto a path of no return..."
Gu Zai
Some ghosts and gods began to repent of their deeds.
The rhetoric was so well-founded and profound that even Chu Chen couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Look at how enlightened and high-level these ghosts and gods are.
But... they still took chances and acted like playing with fire.
Perhaps, only at the moment when the incident occurs and there is irrefutable proof, can these ghosts and gods truly achieve "the unity of knowledge and action" and "the great enlightenment".
Corrupt officials have always been like this since ancient times.
Chu Chen watched the ghosts and gods "confession" without saying much. His eyes fell on the deputy governor Yun Henian and Lin Bufan.
Among the evidences that were searched and displayed by the immortal officials in Xianting, many evidence pointed directly at the Yun and Lin families.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, Friend Daoist Lin, Yun and Lin are exploiting the people, colluding with demons, and are greedy. What do you two have to say?"
In the year of Yun He, Lin Bufan looked calm, even a little relieved, and said:
"It doesn't matter, they brought the blame on themselves and no one else. We cut off all ties with the family after joining the Taoist sect, and we have never participated in colluding with demons. We have a clear conscience!"
"Two fellow Taoists, I will just take your word for it and pretend that you have never had anything to do with demons!"
Chu Chen laughed dumbly, as if he had heard a big joke, and said disdainfully:
"But, as for having a clear conscience? It's really a joke. How can you have a clear conscience?"
"Without the secret protection of you two deputy governors, would the Yunwu Ghost City strongholds be popping up one after another like mushrooms after a rain?"
"You two dare to say that you don't show favoritism outside the law and protect your clan members?"
In the year of Yunhe, Lin Bufan was startled.
Then, the two of them stopped defending and sighed, with a look of regret on their faces.
"The lesson learned by Chu Du is that we are ashamed of our fellow villagers in Yunlin and the founder of the Taoist sect."
In the entire meeting hall, the two deputy governors and all the ghosts and gods were filled with regret and sat in deep self-examination.
Chu Chen couldn't help but shake his head as he listened to their "confessions".
Chu Chen shook his head and couldn't help but said: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! You are worshiped by all people and your spirit will last forever and you will live forever. If all people are gone, how can you talk about living forever?"
"A good piece of water can carry a boat and also capsize it!"
As he spoke, a clear female voice came from far away.
Chu Chen and a group of ghosts and gods went out looking for fame and saw a baby-faced woman in green walking on auspicious clouds.
"In charge of Chu Du, I am the god Salamander Qingyi. In accordance with the decree of Lord Dongyue, I will arrest the ghosts and gods who committed crimes in Yunlin and bring them to justice."
"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chu Chen felt happy.
This time, the powerful locals in Yunlin County are easy to deal with, as well as monsters, monsters, ghosts, ghosts, and snakes. Xianting has sent a large number of troops. He only needs to mobilize his troops and generals to sweep away Yunlin and restore peace to Yunlin.
Only Shinto ghosts and gods are more troublesome.
The governor only has the power to control and punish ghosts and gods, but does not have the power to remove or appoint ghosts and gods.
This power is in the hands of the Imperial Capital of the Celestial Dynasty, the Immortal Capital of the Immortal Courtyard, and the Lord of the Five Mountains Mansion.
The Lord of the Five Sacred Mountains in this world is not the Emperor of the Five Sacred Mountains in the sky, but the Five Sacred Mountains in the local area. He holds the power of the Emperor of the Five Sacred Mountains in this world, rules the ghosts and gods of this world, communicates Yin and Yang, and has great supernatural powers!
Now, Dongyue Mansion has sent people here, which means that the ghosts and gods in Yunlin County may not face punishment, but all have to step down.
When all the ghosts and gods heard that someone from "Dongyue Mansion" was coming, they also understood the dangers involved. They were all frightened as if they were mourning for their heirs.
In this regard, Chu Chen is happy to see its success.
Don't look at the ghosts and gods who are all very enlightened at the moment. They are all like "sage Buddhas", seeing their nature and mind, and achieving great enlightenment.
If the matter had not been exposed, they would have been acting recklessly in private, laughing and insulting, secretly mocking those who followed the rules, practiced the Eight Sutras, and were in business, and then they would have been complacent and arrogant.
