Xu Zhiqiong first took Zhong Jianxue to Zhonglang Courtyard. He had the courage to fight Du Chunze, but the premise was to ensure Zhong Jianxue's safety.
Returning from the Zhonglang Courtyard, Du Chunze had already led a dozen people into the Punishment Department. Lu Yanyou stepped forward to inquire about the situation, but was pushed back by a Bai Wuchang.
"Stand away and talk. Don't you understand the etiquette when meeting Lord Yan?" This Bai Wuchang's name is Pei Hongru. He is fifty-three years old this year. He has been an official for more than thirty years and was just promoted to the soul seducer a few days ago.
Under normal circumstances, people in the Ming Dao would be polite to the judge, but this Pei Hongru seemed to be an exception. Perhaps because he had the support of Lord Yan, he treated Lu Yanyou with an attitude of asking for justice.
Lu Yanyou tried his best to restrain himself, keeping a distance of twenty steps, and asked: "Du Yanjun is here, what are you doing?"
Du Yanjun said nothing and looked at Lu Yanyou silently.
Pei Hongru said: "A soul seducer escaped from the Underworld Division. When he comes to your Evil Punishment Division, please hand him over and the matter will be over."
Lu Yanyou said: "I wonder which seducer you are talking about?"
Pei Hongru frowned and said, "Do you still need to ask? How many seducers have come to your Yin and Yang Department? If you are not blind, you still can't recognize them?"
Lu Yanyou gritted his teeth secretly.
Du Yanjun remained silent, apparently acquiescing to Pei Hongru to punish the evil officials for causing trouble.
Who gave them the courage?
It seems that they should know something.
They should know that without Zhongzai, the judge in Daxuan, the spirit of the good-rewarding doctor in the capital is not intact.
It's so unbearable to bully someone right in front of you.
But it's hard to bear, but you have to endure it. Du Chunze is a fourth-grade person, and no one in the Punishment Department can be his opponent.
While he was talking, several promotion officials gathered around him.
The judges often go to the underworld, but the underworld cultivators rarely come to punish the evil ones. The judges don't know the reason, and they are asking each other. Pei Hongru shouted: "Stop making any noise! I just want to ask if you have seen the soul seducer? You are not a mute.
Yes, come up and talk!"
Xu Zhiqiong walked over from a distance and said with a smile: "You see, isn't there Bai Wuchang right in front of you?"
Pei Hongru turned around and said, "Who is this, so arrogant?"
"What is owed? Does it mean owed?" Xu Zhiqiong came to Pei Hongru with a smile.
Pei Hongru raised his face and looked at Xu Zhiqiong: "Yes, I mean, you are asking for it..."
Bang bang bang bang!
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiqiong slapped him six times with his bow from left to right.
The speed of the underworld cultivator was much slower than that of the judge. Pei Hongru was beaten so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and he could not react for a long time.
He covered his face and took two steps back: "You crazy guy, how dare you hit me! You saw it, it was him who hit me..."
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and slapped him four more times, rounding him up.
Pei Hongru stepped back continuously, covering his face and looking around at several underworld cultivators.
I was beaten, why didn't any of you do anything?
Are you here to watch the excitement?
Pei Hongru didn't know Xu Zhiqiong, but some of the other underworld practitioners knew him.
"This is Ma Shangfeng," a warden reminded in a low voice, "he killed Bi Wusheng."
Pei Hongru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and did not dare to speak anymore.
He had heard Ma Shangfeng's name, but he didn't take him seriously at first. He just thought that Bi Wusheng was careless and fell into the hands of a young boy.
Now he found that this young man was really not easy to mess with, and quietly retreated into the crowd, not daring to stand out again.
Du Yanjun looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Ma Changshi, it's been a long time since I last visited you. Your temper has become a lot worse."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Du Yanjun, who are you here to pay a visit? You didn't say hello in advance, you didn't have a gift in your hand, and you even brought an uneducated domestic dog with you. At your age, you don't have any rules. Don’t you understand?”
Pei Hongru raised his sword eyebrows, this bird called me a dog!
Xu Zhiqiong waved his palm, indicating that he could come again if he was not satisfied.
Pei Hongru lowered his sword eyebrows again, with a very peaceful expression.
Du Chunze said: "Everyone, Du is here just to capture the traitor Zhong Jianxue from our Taoist sect. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Zhong Jianxue!
All the judges looked at each other.
Zhong Jianxue had previously helped them eradicate Long Xiulian. He was a friend of the Evil Punishment Department in the capital. When did he become a traitor?
Lu Yanyou was about to ask, but Xu Zhiqiong knew the inside story, but had no intention of talking nonsense to Du Chunze: "Du Yanjun, you want to find a soul seducer, either to the underworld or the underworld, to punish the evil one for what?"
Du Chunze said: "Du saw with his own eyes that Zhong Jianxue had just entered the Evil Punishment Department."
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "I arrived at the Evil Punishment Department early today, but why didn't I see Zhong Jianxue? Comrades, have any of you seen it?"
All the judges shook their heads.
Du Chunze nodded and smiled: "I saw it. Ma Changshi said he didn't see it. Since Ma Changshi is so sure, can Du be allowed to search for it?"
Lu Yanyou immediately clenched his fists.
Search?
What do you think of the Punishment Department?
You are slapping the judge in the face!
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiqiong also showed a smile: "Du Yanjun said to search, so let's search. I wonder where Du Yanjun wants to search?"
Du Chunze said: "I want to search Chang Shi's Mansion first!"
Chang Shi's Mansion was behind him. Xu Zhiqiong gave way and raised his hand: "Yan Jun, please!"
Lu Yanyou looked surprised. Did he really fail to search?
Through the mask, Xu Zhiqiong's expression could not be seen, but Xu Zhiqiong's behavior seemed very calm.
Just as Du Chunze was about to take a step, he took his foot back again.
Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was so confident, he guessed that Zhong Jianxue was indeed not in Chang Shi's Mansion.
It is also possible that Xu Zhiqiong is deliberately making things mysterious.
But what Du Yanjun is most worried about is that Xu Zhiqiong has set up a trap in Chang Shi's mansion.
He and Xu Zhiqiong fought once, when he brought the underworld to the Yang world and originally took advantage, but Xu Zhiqiong used a riding crop to trick him into a trap and almost killed him.
He turned to look at Pei Hongru and said, "Mr. Pei Bai, go and have a look at Chang Shi's Mansion."
Pei Hongru didn't dare to disobey, so he walked up to Xu Zhiqiong and asked, "Can I go in?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Go."
As soon as Pei Hongru took a step forward, Xu Zhiqiong stretched out his foot and staggered him, pulled his hair, knocked his head to the ground, and kicked him again at the door facing him.
"You will go in if you are told?" Xu Zhiqiong looked down at Pei Hongru, "Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the face?"
Pei Hongru's face was covered with blood, and he was crying and wailing, trying to fight Xu Zhiqiong desperately.
He wants to use techniques, and Ming Dao's techniques are very fierce.
Xu Zhiqiong's fingertips trembled, and he pulled out Long Xiulian's short sword and placed it on Pei Hongru's neck.
Du Chunze's heart trembled, he recognized this weapon.
He knew that Long Xiulian died, but he did not believe that Long Xiulian died at the hands of Ma Shangfeng.
Now it seems that the rumors are true.
Xu Zhiqiong carried Pei Hongru and looked at Du Chunze: "Du Yanjun, if you want to enter Chang Shi's Mansion, I won't stop you. Just forget about this vicious dog."
He hoped that Du Chunze would enter Chang Shi's Mansion. Once he entered Chang Shi's Mansion, he would close the door and directly join forces with Lu Yanyou to kill this scum.
Du Chunze looked at the gate of Chang Shi's Mansion and did not dare to act rashly.
"Ma Changshi, Zhong Jianxue is a member of the underworld. I will eliminate the scum of the Taoist sect. You should not interfere."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Du Yanjun, the Punishment Department is the boundary of the Judge Road, and the Changshi Mansion is the yamen of the Judge Road, so you shouldn't set foot there!"
Du Chunze nodded and said: "You are not showing any mercy today. Since you are talking about the boundaries of the land, you, the judge of the capital, please don't go to my Palace of Hell again in the future!"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Ten Palaces of Hell, what if I don't go to your place? There are many places where you want to earn merit!"
Du Chunze smiled and said: "That's true. Mr. Du really deserves your merits."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Du Yanjun is definitely not bad. You just did a big business with Long Zhongzai, and you have a lot of merits!"
Du Chunze's body trembled slightly.
He got it!
Du Chunze had always suspected that Ma Shangfeng had known the inside story, but he never expected that he would reveal the matter to his face.
Xu Zhiqiong had no intention of dealing with Du Chunze. The last time they fought at the Marquis Mansion, the two of them had reached a life-or-death situation.
"I want to report this matter to Emperor Ming, who will give me justice!" Du Yanjun flicked his sleeves and led everyone out of the Punishment Department.
Looking at his back, the corners of Xu Zhiqiong's eyes twitched.
Du Chunze brought more than a dozen helpers, and his lowest cultivation level was at level six.
On the side of the Punishment Department, apart from Lu Yanyou, there are only a group of seventh-grade officials.
Xu Zhiqiong really didn't want to let him go, but when the fight started, the judges didn't take advantage of him in terms of cultivation.
It's okay, Lao Du, let's go and see.
I will decide your head!
Lu Yanyou invited Xu Zhiqiong into Chang Shi's Mansion and asked, "Shang Feng, have you seen Zhong Jianxue?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Zhong Jianxue is in my Zhonglang Courtyard now."
Lu Yanyou had already guessed: "Zhonghunzhi is kind to us, and we should protect him, but if this matter really involves the Ghost Emperor, you have to think about how to deal with it.
Du Yanjun can be sent away by us, but if the Ghost Emperor comes, it will not be so easy to send him away."
Is the Ghost Emperor really going to interfere in this matter?
Xu Zhiqiong felt that Du Yanjun was just bluffing. Would he dare to leak the big business deal with Long Zhongzai?
"Lu Changshi, remind us colleagues from the Evil Punishment Department not to go to Yama Wang'an Hall to redeem vouchers in the near future, and to be more careful with those who practice the underworld."
After giving some more instructions, Xu Zhiqiong left Chang Shi's Mansion and returned to Zhonglang Courtyard.
Zhong Jianxue was scrubbing his wound, and Xu Zhiqiong found some medicine for him.
"Brother Zhong, you are always cautious, how could you be caught by Du Chunze today?"
Zhong Jianxue sighed: "In the final analysis, I was reckless. I have been looking forward to seeing the emperor for so long, but the emperor..."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "The Ghost Emperor ignored you? Or maybe..."
Zhong Jianxue sighed: "I don't know what the emperor is thinking. I found all the charges against Du Yanjun. After the emperor read it, he told me not to say anything. He would definitely bring Du Chunze to justice. But not long after the emperor left, Du Chunze found out.
My whereabouts."
Xu Zhiqiong pinched his chin and looked solemn.
From this moment on, he realized the importance of dictatorship.
