"Your Majesty, during his busy schedule, came to the Shenzong in person. It is a blessing for the sect, so why bother?" Zhou Gongjin stood up with a smile, raised his hand and put it on his arm, and bowed slightly to He Lanxuan, with a special expression on his face.
With a faint smile, "Go and make tea for the emperor!"
Xiao Zongtong agreed and went. Zhou Gongjin's people had already arrived in front of He Lanxuan and moved him to a tea seat on one side of the hall. "Your Majesty, please sit here!"
He Lanxuan nodded lightly, "The master is the master and I am the guest. Naturally, you invite me first!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. After all, it was Zhou Gongjin who took the first step.
The two were seated separately as the guests of honor. Xiao Zongtong had already served the tea in front of them with great respect, and immediately left the hall with his hands down and his waist bent.
He Lanxuan took a sip of tea and said, "Morning dew boiled green water chestnuts, good tea!"
"Those who practice Taoism are just taking the natural things from heaven and earth, and letting nature take its course is the best way!" Zhou Gongjin used the lid of the cup to gently pull out the floating tea on it, "Your majesty, just drink it until it enters your mouth!"
He Lanxuan smiled, put down the tea cup, and looked towards the half-open window. Looking out from here, he could just see the tall demon-burning platform, and Helan Ji's clothes and hair fluttering in the spring breeze.
"I heard that the sect is going to burn demons today?!"
He Lanxuan asked lightly, with no sadness or joy in his tone. It seemed that he didn't know that the person on the stage was his younger brother, or in other words, he didn't care?!
"After many days of escaping, I was finally arrested. It is the duty of my divine sect to eliminate demons for heaven and eliminate harm for the people!" Zhou Gongjin did not point it out, and his face was still calm and clear.
"But..." He Lanxuan suddenly turned his face, his face slightly pale but his eyes were sharp and deep, "He is my brother!"
"He is a demon!" Zhou Gongjin met his eyes, still neither humble nor arrogant, "When the Shen Zong was founded, it was our mission to kill demons. Your Majesty, you should also know that demons are no longer a problem.
It’s a mundane thing!”
His meaning is very obvious, even if you are the emperor, it is not your turn to do these things.
"But I can't see how he is a devil!" He Lanxuan's eyes glanced out the window again, and there was already a little warmth in his eyes. "Could it be that once you are a devil, you will always be a devil? Even if a mortal can still turn around,
Is there no chance for the demon to turn back?!"
"The way of Shenzong is compassion!" Zhou Gongjin sighed quietly, "The widow and orphan in Lijia Town were sleeping peacefully on the pillow. Unexpectedly, when the mother woke up, she saw that her little daughter's neck was covered with blood, but she was covered with blood.
This demon bites food. The Emperor may not know about this. Zhoukou Town turned into a dead town overnight. The Emperor must know about it!"
"Officials must also pay attention to evidence when judging cases!" He Lanxuan said sharply.
Zhou Gongjin's voice was slightly cold, "Then my mother saw it with her own eyes and I, the elder of Shenzong, personally intercepted it. Isn't this evidence enough?!"
He Lanxuan was silent for a moment, and after a moment, he turned his eyes to look at Zhou Gongjin again.
"The so-called court requires three trials. Could the sect leader just rely on this mother's words?!"
"If that mother had been in the dynasty, and if the person tied to the pillar at this moment was not the prince, would the emperor come to me from the capital to find out whether the evidence was sufficient?!" Zhou Gongjin stood up from his chair and walked slowly to the window.
On the other side, his eyes looked compassionately at the people in the square who were as dense as ants, "The emperor is responsible for the country, the country, and Gong Jin, as the head of a sect, naturally also has to be responsible for the people of the world!"
There were soft footsteps, but an elder in white walked slowly from outside, "Sect Master, the time has come!"
