Except for Zhuang Ming, everyone felt ridiculous and couldn't believe it.
"Lord Fu Zun! The lower official has been wronged!" Jiang Dizheng ordered him to knock on the ground violently, only to slow down Lu He's tactics, and shouted vaguely.
"Master..." Zhou Sheng couldn't believe it and roared: "It's clear that he is the murderer, I don't accept it!"
"Zhou Sheng!" The old Taoist's face turned cold and he said, "Are you questioning me?"
"Master, I must kill him!" Zhou Sheng said with tears in his eyes, "Help me! Help me kill him!"
"Zhou Sheng!" The old Taoist suddenly used his magic power and shouted.
"I……"
Zhou Sheng suddenly woke up, and the anger and resentment in his mind was immediately suppressed. He woke up for a moment, finally took a deep breath, trembled slightly, but stopped talking.
At least in public, I can no longer be so rude, nor can I question the master, nor can I plead for mercy.
He couldn't help but look at Zhuang Ming and gritted his teeth.
He wanted to leave a message, but he knew that at this moment, he shouldn't say more.
But although the words were not spoken, the hatred and resentment were evident in his words.
When Zhuang Ming saw this, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "You want to kill me?"
Zhou Sheng lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhuang Ming didn't say much, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
The old Taoist looked complicated and let out a long breath.
Suddenly, he pointed a finger, and his magic power burst out.
The light fell on Zhou Sheng's chest and abdomen.
A ray of mana hits Dantian.
A wisp of mana cuts off the barrier to the operation of this sect's martial arts.
Just hear a bang!
Zhou Sheng vomited blood and flew backwards, hitting the ground.
The place suddenly became quiet.
Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows and was quite surprised.
Zhou Sheng lay on the ground, looked up at the sky, put his hands on his chest and abdomen, and finally understood something, and his face turned ashen immediately.
"It is up to the great Chu to decide whether you are responsible for your crime or your life. However, your cultivation is what I have taught you. Now I have taken it back, broken your Dantian, cut off your meridians, and spared your life."
The old Taoist said in a deep voice: "From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other."
Zhuang Ming looked strange, this old Taoist priest was really ruthless.
But having said that, people who have practiced spiritual practice for hundreds of years have already become as solid as a rock.
The old Taoist knew in his heart that if he kept this disciple, he would have to avenge his father's murder when he succeeds in his practice.
If Zhou Sheng offends Zhuang Ming again in the future, how should he deal with himself as Zhou Sheng's mentor?
You know clearly that this disciple has a grudge against him, but you still let him go?
If this is true, there will definitely be unhappiness between him and Zhuang Ming.
What if something really happened and Zhuang Ming was killed by Zhou Sheng, then Ju Shengshan would take the blame, and Bai Shengjun would strike out with another sword, wouldn't it mean that Taiyuan Sect would follow in the footsteps of Gu Yuanzong?
People's hearts are complex, and resentments are difficult to resolve.
The old Taoist thought that it would be difficult to control this apprentice who was responsible for killing his father.
In this case, it is better to stop this trend completely.
"Mr. Thirteen, are you satisfied?"
"How dare I have any objections to the actions of my seniors?"
Zhuang Ming responded like this, and he also knew that this old Taoist was giving him an explanation, and at the same time, he was also trying to save this disciple's life.
Zhuang Ming had nothing to say when things reached such an extent that his disciple's practice was ruined.
His Dantian was shattered and his meridians were severed. He was even more seriously injured than Zhuang Ming was before.
Back then, his Dantian was damaged and his true energy was leaking out. Everyone on the Gathering Holy Mountain, including his mentor Bai Shengjun, found it difficult.
As for Zhou Sheng this time, there is no hope of recovery.
If one day he can really recover, Zhuang Ming may even be grateful to him, because that also means that he has found a way to recover himself.
"Well, this matter... ends here."
Zhuang Ming waved his hand, his expression as usual.
The old Taoist priest looked complicated and sighed in his heart.
People's hearts are complicated, he was afraid of Zhuang Ming and ruined his own disciples.
It's hard to say whether or not he is dissatisfied with Zhuang Ming and holds a grudge in his heart.
But Zhuang Ming didn't take it seriously. His eyes swept over Zhou Sheng and immediately fell on Jiang Di Zhengling.
The man in charge of the official order in Jiangdi was so powerful that he held the power of an entire place like an overlord. At this moment, his face was extremely pale.
Logically speaking, isn't this young man the leader of a mere trading house under his jurisdiction?
In the territory under his jurisdiction, as Lord Zhengling, any force, any business firm, or any person is actually under his control and can be manipulated and dispatched by him.
The reason why Zhuang's Trading Company was able to develop was because Fu Laogui gave him a lot of benefits, which satisfied him and gave him a foothold.
This person was clearly a businessman in the mundane world. How did he suddenly transform into a high-ranking immortal?
Moreover, even the dignified Palm Seal Palace Master and the elders sent from the Immortal Sect were so afraid of him that they would not hesitate to destroy his apprentice's future to give him an explanation.
Who is this person?
"My lord, please take good care of yourself in prison."
Zhuang Ming approached and sighed: "However, I will have people deliver the evidence of your bribery to the officials of the Eighth House. I hope you can still live and come out of prison..."
Jiang Di Zhengling suddenly shouted and looked at Zhuang Ming with eyes wide open.
Zhuang Ming laughed, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.
Immediately, in the disbelief eyes of everyone, he slowly said something.
"By the way, I wonder what the senior's Taoist name is?"
——
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Everyone thought that he was familiar with the new palm seal official and had a close relationship with him.
For this reason, the new Palm Seal Palace Master did not hesitate to destroy his true disciple.
But now... he doesn't even know the name of the new Palm Seal Palace Master.
The self-mockery on Zhou Sheng's face became more intense.
Yue Ting's expression was even weirder. Even Lu He, who knew the ins and outs, found it a bit absurd. It turned out that the young master and the old Taoist priest had known each other for a long time, but they still didn't know each other's name?
"I'll close the discussion."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Feng, for enforcing the law impartially."
Zhuang Ming gave a salute and said: "Zhuang will stay in the eighth and seventh mansions in the near future, and now the old and new officials have been appointed. After two days, if the old man is free, he can come to see me and have a good chat."
."
The old Taoist Feng Lun had a complicated look on his face, but he finally nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhuang Ming nodded and stretched out his hand.
The dragon's roar resounded loudly.
The dragon soared, and the clouds covered it.
But in an instant, the dragon turned into a thin thread, fell into his hand, and slipped into his sleeve.
"Since the matter has been concluded, there is no need for Zhuang to cooperate with the interrogation, so he left first."
"Mr. Thirteen, walk slowly."
"Well done, old man Feng."
Zhuang Ming chuckled lightly and walked forward.
Yue Ting and Lu He both followed behind.
The old Taoist Feng Lun watched him leave quietly.
Wait until he is far away, then you can breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a golden exotic bird flew from the sky to the south, with a human figure sitting on it, near the courtyard.
——
Zhuang Ming left the courtyard and looked back, only to see the golden light falling into the courtyard.
The dragon's body is extremely sensitive and sensitive.
It was a demon bird that became a spirit, but it was only a small demon and had not yet reached the level of a big demon.
On the demon bird's back, the person has an extraordinary temperament and is only at the upper level of Tao Seal, but he has an extremely noble aura.
"This person's magical power is quite impressive. It seems to be the martial arts of the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty?"
Thinking like this, Zhuang Ming looked away and didn't pay much attention. He just walked forward and issued another order.
"Let Mr. Fu stabilize Zheng Yuanshan's business in the three places before tomorrow morning."
"And those who took advantage of the situation and robbed them can be recorded and dealt with later."
"Yue Ting, those who ambushed you and Fu Lao that day can fight back now."
"Go in person and take revenge."
"Afterwards, I have to clean up the situation. Although the palm seal official is in front of me, and now it is a mortal who has offended me, and the government will not investigate further, we still have to respect the laws of the Chu Dynasty on the surface, and we must be slightly concealed in our actions, and we must not be too blatant.
"
"Yes, young master." Yue Ting said solemnly.
——
And at this moment, in the courtyard.
The scene became increasingly silent.
None of those gentlemen and warriors dared to say anything.
Jiang Di Zhengling and Zhou Sheng lying on the ground were both in despair.
Only His Highness King Jing, who had just landed, looked strange and whispered: "Little Wang saw it earlier."
The old Taoist Feng Lun glanced at him and said, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
King Jing's expression changed slightly. If he were an ordinary lord of the palm of a palace, he would inevitably question today's events as a prince.
Because the conduct of the Palm Seal Master this time was too rough and arbitrary in terms of rules and regulations. Not only did he let the other party go easily, but he also determined the culpability of Jiang Dizheng Ling and Zhou Sheng on the spot. It can't be said to be rigorous.
work.
But the person in front of him is not an ordinary Palm Palace Master. He comes from the Taiyuan Sect, and he was originally a noble person. Now, although he has been relegated to the mortal world, he is still in charge of the three palaces. Even his father did not neglect him, but personally received him.
Granted three government seals.
At this moment, he did not dare to say anything, and was even more curious about how the seemingly careless young man, relying on a dragon, could let the new palm seal master who came from the Immortal Sect and was in charge of the three mansions to do so.
Tolerate and give in?
"Xiao Wang believes that this person may not have taken any action himself. According to the laws of the Chu Dynasty, he has not taken action, so he cannot be convicted."
King Jing hesitated and said: "However, the methods of cultivators cannot be judged by common sense."
The old Taoist Feng Lun nodded and said: "This Manyuan Lord is a mortal and cannot see the truth. What happened before must have been the murderous intention of this person. However, he did not want to violate the laws of the Chu Dynasty face to face, so he did not
Take action personally.”
King Jing suddenly hesitated to speak.
The old Taoist Feng Lun said in a low voice: "On this point, it is difficult to say that it is an error in the laws of the Chu Dynasty. Throughout the ages, Jin Dan has been like a fairy. Although he has entered the world, he has never penetrated into the world like him. Even if he kills people in anger, it is not abuse.
Most of the killing of innocent people involves killing mortals who have offended the power of gods, and they kill with a wave of their hands, straightforwardly. How can they be like him, who is full of twists and turns and unable to grasp the handle? What happened today is a rare exception..."
King Jing sighed: "In other words, you always think that the cause of the incident is because of him? All these things are also his handiwork? It's just that he is too cunning and does not fall into the trap. According to the law, there is no evidence
?”
The old Taoist Feng Lun paused for a moment and said: "Even if the evidence is conclusive, even if he personally slaughtered all the people in the courtyard today, including the chief order of the place and the chief secretary of the palace, I will not convict him."
King Jing's complexion changed drastically, revealing a look of surprise.
Both Jiang Di Zhengling and Zhou Sheng were instantly horrified.
"Why?"
"Can't afford to offend..." Feng Lun Lao Dao said in a complicated tone.
"This..." King Jing was extremely shocked.
"The old Taoist said to His Highness before that caution is the first priority in everything. It doesn't matter if you are not courageous, but if you are not cautious enough, your life will be in danger."
The old Taoist Feng Lun laughed at himself and said: "The reason why the old Taoist got acquainted with him was because he was not cautious enough. That's why he had such an understanding when he talked with His Highness before."
"Who is he?" King Jing asked in shock.
"If he doesn't take the initiative to speak, the old Taoist can't say it." The old Taoist Feng Lun shook his head and said.
"You are the Daocheng elder of the Taiyuan Sect. You are at the upper level of the Golden Core, and you are expected to be a powerful person who can achieve Zhenxuan. Looking at the territory of Dachu, you are all..."
"They are all untouchable."
The old Taoist Feng Lun held down the three official seals and sighed: "Don't say that the old Taoist stopped at the golden elixir. Even if he entered the Zhenxuan, he would never dare to touch it."
