Li Ping'an waved his hand: "Get up without any courtesy."
He raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the ground formed several seats into a long table. He sat behind the long table.
"Father is the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance and has no authority to hear cases. I will personally come to hear this matter. Father, Senior Tianli, please sit down."
Li Dazhi looked at Li Pingan with a smile, and saw that Li Pingan seemed to have remained the same but also seemed to have changed a lot, and there was a sense of stability in his eyes.
Elder Tianli is much more straightforward.
Why...can't he see through the cultivation of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven?
The rhyme of the Tao is obscure, and the body of the Tao is like an ordinary person but has the stability of a mountain and the tolerance of heaven and earth. It is as if the great road of the universe is hidden in the sleeves, and the Tao of the years is contained in the eyes.
Mighty?
This kid has only been practicing for a few years, how did he reach such a state!
Tianli was shocked, and even the few words of persuasion he was about to say were suppressed behind his tongue.
Wait for the soldiers to return to their positions;
The expressions of those old people from the human race were as dark as the bottom of a pot;
Li Pingan glanced at Ye Zisang squatting in the corner, and said slowly: "Zi Sang."
Ye Zisang laughed bitterly, stood up and bowed his head.
"My lord, I am ashamed of your Majesty."
"How can you be so ashamed? Did you know about this?"
Ye Zisang sighed: "I...Although I don't know about it, if this matter is really done by the Ye family, and I am a descendant of the Ye family, I should know about it even if I don't know about it."
"In this case, you go and move all these corpses to the front yard, without using magic power, to verify the fatal injuries of each corpse."
"yes."
Ye Zisang agreed without any expression, lowered his head and walked towards the backyard.
Li Ping'an said: "Wake up these sleeping people, ban their cultivation, and pull them aside."
"yes!"
More than a dozen heavenly generals swarmed forward, quickly tied up the head of the Ye family and seven elders, pulled them aside, and released the restraints.
When they woke up, they saw the dull sky and the dazzling fairy light...
When the eight old men saw clearly the situation in front of them, as well as the dozens of people captured by Dapeng, one or two of them had some dodges in their eyes.
Then, they heard a clear young male voice:
"Let the trial begin. Is the person responsible for this case still there?"
The eight elders of the Ye family followed the sound and did not see Li Ping'an. Instead, they saw the old man Tianli sitting there quietly.
An elder of the Ye family shouted: "Leader of the Tianli Alliance!"
Snapped!
The golden-armored heavenly general on the side slapped the elder in the perfect immortal realm with stars in his eyes.
The general angrily scolded: "Shut up! Your Majesty, how dare you shout in front of me!"
Only then did the Ye family and his entourage see Li Ping'an sitting on the main seat, as well as the immortal head of the Heavenly Court Finance Department beside them.
Qing Su, wearing a white dress, walked from the side. The dust and blood around her made her even more beautiful.
"Your Majesty," Qing Su saluted with cupped hands, "I have come to find the remnant soul of Wei Yuxue from the underworld."
She placed a jade vase in front of the table, and a shadow slowly rose from the jade vase. It was none other than Wei Yuxue, one of the deceased.
Li Ping'an blinked at Qingsu, who nodded gently and said proactively:
"This remnant soul was brought back by Empress Houtu with great magic power. There is absolutely no falsehood."
Li Ping'an immediately understood that he had really found the owner of his suffering.
His voice became much gentler: "Wei Yuxue, today we are hearing the case of your clan being exterminated. If you have any grievances, please tell us immediately and I will seek justice for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Yuxue's voice trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but cry.
"That day, several old men suddenly came to our door and negotiated with my father, the head of my family, to buy our sect's only spiritual mine.
"The price they offered was quite high. The boss wanted to agree immediately, but he was afraid that there was something fishy about it, so he didn't agree directly. He just said that we would discuss it later.
"After these people left, the leader re-examined the spirit mine overnight, and found a rare mineral in my family's spirit mine, called the Ten Thousand Years Xuanling Crystal. Just one piece of this thing is worth more than an entire spirit mine.
"It's also our fault. We overestimated our capabilities and became greedy. If we could have moved out overnight, we wouldn't have had this disaster..."
Li Dazhi said: "Don't blame yourself, let's talk about the main story first."
"well."
Wei Yuxue's remnant soul calmed down a bit and said slowly:
"A few days later, those old men came again, and they offered twice as much as last time, but the leader declined again because the spiritual mine was the foundation of the sect.
"Unexpectedly, there was an old man here who suddenly changed his face and threatened us."
Li Ping'an asked: "How to threaten?"
"He said...since you have discovered it, we won't hide it any more. We are going to secure this spiritual mine. If you appreciate it, you will give your sect our protection."
"He also said... you can't protect this spiritual mine. To tell you the truth, the strangeness in this spiritual mine was discovered by the people from the Ministry of Finance of Heaven when they surveyed this place. Now only we know about it, but as time goes by, who will
Will this news fall into the hands of others? If we release such news, will your sect still want to live in peace? It is human nature to want wealth, but if you can't protect it, then you might as well ask for it.
Have peace of mind."
Wei Yuxue's remnant soul trembled slightly and said sadly:
"That's how threatening they are.
"The head still refused to agree, so they left the second time, and then began a dozen years of strange things. Disciples of the sect fell ill for no reason, and people became obsessed with it. We knew that these people were behind the scenes, but
Don't know how to resist.
"Under such circumstances, the leader had no choice but to bow to them, and these old men actually didn't even pay the originally negotiated price, and bought this spiritual mine at a very low price."
Li Pingan nodded slowly and signaled Wei Yuxue to stop talking for the time being.
He turned to look at his old father.
"The Immortal Head of the Ministry of Finance, when the Ministry of Finance consolidated the mineral resources of the Xuanwu Realm, did they find out that this spiritual mine has attached minerals?"
"This," Li Dazhi muttered for a few times, "Although I have reviewed the accounts here, I don't see any clues."
"Can the Ministry of Finance find the immortal official who will inspect and survey this spiritual mine?"
Li Dazhi said: "Of course this is possible."
"Excuse me, Immortal, please make a trip," Li Ping'an said, "and bring a group of people here so that we can correct what this remnant soul said!"
"Yes," Li Dazhi stood up and held his hands, "I'll go right now."
After saying this, he called Dapeng to go out together and left in a hurry.
Li Ping'an said: "It will take two hours to come and go. The trial here continues. Miss Wei, please continue to talk about what will happen after the spirit mine is sold to these old men?"
"Follow up..."
Wei Yuxue clenched her fists tightly and said sadly:
"They still don't let us go. We originally had no enmity with the surrounding sects, but a group of casual cultivators who came from nowhere formed a sect and tried to find money with us every day. They also watched every trace of us when we went out.
"If they just want to force us to move, forget it.
"There are even some rogue cultivators here who intend to poison the whole family and destroy us. Fortunately, several uncles discovered it in time.
"We were about to leave. I was so angry that I wanted to go to the Lord Heaven and Earth to find a complaint against them in the Heavenly Court, so I sneaked out. On the way, I was chased and intercepted by a group of casual cultivators who tried to kill me more than ten times. I had to keep taking detours.
, in the end, this Fairy Yun Bing who was passing by saved me.
"She gave me her badge and asked me to find the nearest Heavenly Soldier station... and then..."
Li Ping'an frowned and asked: "What's wrong? Can you find the heavenly soldiers nearby?"
"I found it," Wei Yuxue said with a sad smile, "but the team of heavenly soldiers I found threw me to the group of casual cultivators, and the group of casual cultivators carried me back to the door... and then, I became the target of everyone in front of me.
See……"
"You go and identify it."
Li Ping'an said: "Among the dozens of people kneeling there, are there any casual cultivators who attacked you and your sect?"
Wei Yuxue's remnant soul turned around and couldn't help shouting sadly: "It's them! It's him! He caught me and came back! I can recognize him even when he turns to ashes!"
"Then look at those people over there, are there any of the old men who appeared before?"
Wei Yuxue turned around and looked a little confused.
She said: "There are no them."
"Really?" Li Ping'an nodded, "It's not urgent, just follow the clues and investigate. Do you have anything else to add?"
Wei Yuxue shook her head blankly.
Qingsu took away the jade bottle and put it aside.
Li Ping'an said: "Pull these executioners out first and perform the punishment of scratching the gods, the punishment of covering the scales, and the punishment of burning the soul. Be careful not to kill them."
More than a dozen golden-armored heavenly generals clasped their fists and accepted orders at the same time. A group of heavenly soldiers swarmed up and dragged these 'loose cultivators' out the door.
Old Man Tianli asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why don't you ask me this first?"
"Ask? Ask them if they can tell?"
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"Heaven has marked them, and this is the proof.
"Wei Yuxue has also identified it, and this is the testimony.
"Instead of wasting more words, why not break their will first? If they know that they will bite the bullet and refuse to speak, isn't that a waste of time?"
Old Man Tianli frowned and asked: "I have heard about scraping the soul and burning the soul for a long time. What is the scale covering?"
"The method invented by the Punishment Hall," Li Ping'an briefly introduced, "is to cover the Dao body with a special layer of scales. These scales will first grow into the surface of the Dao body, and then give them some pills to increase their sensory acuity. In this way
He will feel it very clearly, and then he will pull out the scales that are fused with their flesh and blood bit by bit... repeat this many times."
Old man Tianli's forehead was covered with black lines.
Li Ping'an casually took the tea that Li Dazhi had brewed before, lit two teacups, and poured one each for himself and Old Man Tianli.
He said warmly: "Senior, who invited you here?"
"A few of them suddenly came to me and said that all the leaders of the Ye family were captured by Dapeng Bird. Now the whole human race is in panic."
Old Man Tianli sighed:
"They couldn't tell what it was, they just said that someone in the Ye family had a problem, but it wasn't that serious.
"I'll just follow and take a look.
"Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with them. I'm really just afraid of any conflicts between the human race and heaven, so I've been living in peace for hundreds of years."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Senior, you are too kind and can easily be taken advantage of."
"I said so...eh? You're so kind."
A shrill scream came from outside the door.
Many heavenly soldiers had goosebumps.
The dozens of casual cultivators kept wailing and begging for mercy, but the heavenly soldiers who carried out the punishment were merciless, their movements became more agile, and they kept feeding these suspects pills.
Ye Zisang silently gathered corpses from all over the place and came to the front hall. Her eyes were numb and her body was covered in blood.
Li Ping'an looked at the eight members of the Ye family standing aside.
The head of the Ye family knelt down with a bang and shouted: "Your Majesty! This matter has nothing to do with the Ye family!"
"Really? Or do you mean you don't even know?"
Li Pingan said calmly:
"No need to worry...Is there anyone out there who is willing to confess?"
"Your Majesty, there are three or four leaders among them who are willing to confess."
"Pull one soul in first, and continue the torture on the others."
"yes!"
The soul of a middle-aged woman was thrown in front of Li Ping'an. Although it was only the soul, it was still trembling.
"Were you responsible for the tragedy here?"
"Yes, we did it, please give me a good time!"
"Who's behind this?"
"We don't know the buyer behind him. Every time he shows up, he hides his head and shows his tail... Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't know who it is..."
Li Ping'an touched his chin and said slowly: "To tell the truth, this spiritual mine is embedded in the earth's veins. Unless the mountain is destroyed, it cannot be moved. It cannot be moved. You don't want others to know that there are precious things here.
Will you hire some killers who only care about money to pay for the murders? Do you think I am a fool or do you think you are a fool?"
This middle-aged woman was trembling all over.
Li Ping'an said calmly:
"The way of heaven has revealed that your name is Hua Min Sanren, your real name is Ye Min, you are 3927 years old this year, and you belong to a branch of the Ye family."
The woman's spirit trembled a few times, and she looked up at Li Ping'an, a sense of despair flashing deep in her eyes.
"Your husband is also outside.
"It is true that you did not grow up in a secret realm under the ASEAN General Alliance since you were a child. Instead, you practiced in a certain city in Dongzhou. When you grew up, you became a true fairy queen. You traveled around in the name of Huamin Sanren. The skills you cultivated were the same as those of the Ye family.
There is no connection between the family-inherited martial arts.
"You still have a son and a daughter, but the children are cultivating in the secret realm of the ASEAN General Association and adopted by the Ye family.
"Besides, this is not the first time that you and your wife have done such a shameful thing. You have been committing murders for more than a thousand years, and the total number of souls that have died at the hands of you and your wife is 7,600."
The woman's spirit was dim and she collapsed there.
Li Ping'an said: "If you now identify the elder of the Ye family who arranged all this, you may not need to implicate the entire Ye family, and your children will have a chance to survive."
"Yes...he is Elder Yangcai, the third elder..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Behind the head of the Ye family, an old man shouted angrily: "You woman, don't stop spewing blood! You!"
With a bang, the two golden-armored generals pressed the old man forward and smashed his head into the stone floor.
"Tell me the details."
Li Pingan sighed and looked up at the gray sky.
Zisang's Ye family is indeed gone.
But there is no way, the law cannot be established without power, and he cannot let go of such an opportunity because of his personal relationship with Ye Zisang.
The woman's soul trembled: "You know everything, why do you still say it?"
"I know it's because God has revealed that you are stating the case."
Li Pingan said slowly:
"Confession is the only way to keep today's casualties to a minimum. Look at everyone here. Their tribesmen will be arrested here later. We will try them one by one today. There should be many similar cases.
"You really forgot.
"Man is doing it, God is watching, and God is always watching you."
The screams outside the door were even more harsh.
at the same time.
In Zixiao Palace.
Six lines of sight converge in the picture shown in the Tai Chi diagram, and the owners of these six lines of sight have different expressions.
