Chapter 1555 Being Targeted
As Zhen Huan's body was placed in the center of the hall, Taoist Master Honglu Taihe immediately pointed at Zhen Huan's body and said to Yunhao: "Prince Yunhao, this is the culprit who killed Mr. Yundan of Jingshan Taoist Kingdom. Tianting Tao Kingdom Special Envoy Zhen Lan."
When Yunhao heard this, he glanced at Zhen Lan's corpse, then raised his hands and said, "Tao Zun Taihe, I heard that the murderer was someone else, not this Zhen Lan's special envoy."
Sitting across from him, Yumi's expression suddenly condensed. Fang Jian didn't tell Yumi about Cai Zhen, who was Zhenmi who took away Yumi's body.
Therefore, she was sure in her heart that Yun Dan's death should be blamed on herself. From now on, she could only lurk in Yujing as a pregnant woman, and wait until the time was right to serve Taoist Haotian.
But as soon as Yunhao said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of Yunmi and Jiang E. Even the five assistants above looked at Yunhao in surprise.
Taoist Master Taihe was stunned for a moment, and then asked directly: "Prince Yunhao, who did you listen to?"
Yunhao turned to look at Fang Jian and said, "Young Master Fang Jian."
"Huh?" Taoist Master Taihe looked sternly, and the four Taoist Masters Taizhen, Taichong, Taiwei, and Taigu also cast their stern eyes on Fang Jian for an instant.
Then Tao Zhen Taoist asked: "Fang Shaoqing, have you ever said such a thing?"
Fang Jian stood up with a nonchalant expression, then walked to the center of the hall and cupped his hands and said, "Five Taiwan Assistants, I did say this, the person who killed Young Master Yundan was not Zhen Lan's special envoy!"
The eyes of the five Taiwanese assistants sank, and then Taihe Dao Zun looked at Fang Jian and said: "Fang Shaoqing, do you have evidence? You must be responsible for what you say."
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Back to Tao Zun Taihe, since I dare to say this, I naturally have evidence, and of course I can take responsibility for what I said."
Below, Zhang Mi and Jiang E looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Jiang E, on the other hand, was a little worried. She didn't know who killed Yun Dan, but she knew that the five Taiwanese assistants were going to make a fuss about it, so if Fang Jian did this, he would definitely offend the five Taiwanese assistants.
But now that Fang Jian's words have been spoken, it is impossible for her to save Fang Jian. She can only wait and see how things develop.
"Okay." Tao Zun Taihe said to Fang Jian: "Since you said you have evidence, then show it."
Fang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, five Taiwanese assistants. The prisoner is being held in the night patrol captain's house. I will wait for a letter from the minister to order my sergeants to escort him over."
Hearing this, the five Taifus exchanged looks with each other, and then Dao Zun Taichong said: "No need, I just sent an order to Ting Lu Si to go to the Night Patrol Mansion to escort the prisoners over."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Taoist Master Taichong, but those sergeants in Yexuan Mansion only recognize my talisman edict."
Hearing this, Tao Zun Taichong glared angrily and said: "Only recognize your talisman? This is simply unreasonable. The Night Watch Mansion is the Night Watch Mansion of Daoting. Do they want to rebel?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Taichong Dao Zun, please calm down. They don't want to rebel. They have already rebelled."
"What?!" Dao Zun Taichong was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't react for a while, but Dao Zun Taiwei on the side reminded him in a low voice: "They are the soldiers from the Huisheng Rebellion."
Dao Zun Taichong suddenly understood. Immediately he glanced at Fang Jian, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Well, you can pass on the edict."
"Yes." Fang Jian accepted the order with his hands in hand, then turned around and used his magic power to deliver an edict and went straight to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion.
After making an appointment for a cup of tea, Fazhen led ten sergeants and escorted Cai Zhen to the forum. After announcing the edict, Fazhen personally led Cai Zhen into the hall.
As Fazhen and Cai Zhen entered the hall, all the eyes in the hall immediately focused on Fazhen and Cai Zhen.
The moment they saw Cai Zhen, the five assistants looked stunned, and then four of them looked at Dao Zun Taichong.
Dao Zun Taichong's face was as dark as water. It was obvious that something was wrong with him.
Especially Cai Zhen. Although there were no wounds on his body, his mental state was extremely depressed and haggard. His whole body was trembling after entering the hall.
"I'm patrolling the mansion at night to pay homage to the five auxiliary ministers. I'm going to pay homage to all the ministers. I'm going to pay homage to the captain." Fazhen lowered his head and bowed in obeisance. From the beginning to the end, he didn't dare to look directly at the five auxiliary officers. .
The moment Yunhao saw Cai Zhen, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Cai Zhen, it is indeed you!"
When Cai Zhen heard this sharp shout, he looked up and saw Yun Hao. His whole body trembled, and he immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing and begging: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life."
Yunhao asked directly: "Cai Zhen, why did you kill Yun Dan? Who ordered you?"
Just as Cai Zhen was about to open his mouth to answer, Taichong Taoist Master suddenly said: "Cai Zhen, you are the high minister of the Jingshan Tao Kingdom. Why did you kill the son of your own country? The evidence obtained by Qiting Law Firm was that the special envoy of the Heavenly Court Tao Kingdom killed Mr. Yundan."
Cai Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth and made a sound of 'uh', but he didn't know what to say.
At this time Taichong Taoist Master continued: "Cai Zhen, you can answer truthfully. If you were not the one who killed the person, no one would dare to beat you with me and five other Taiwanese assistants here."
Hearing this, Cai Zhen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he immediately understood that the five Taiwanese assistants were telling him not to admit guilt.
Moreover, Cai Zhen realized after thinking for a moment that it was Daoting who wanted to blame this matter on the Heavenly Court. At this moment, Cai Zhen thought of the great power that wiped out Yunshan Dazhai after he left Yunshan Dazhai that day.
Thinking of this, Cai Zhen was immediately ready to change his mind. Although Fang Jian had penetrated a Tai Su Xuan light into his soul, he already had a choice at this moment.
If he admits that he killed Master Yundan, not only will he die, but his family in Jingshan Taoist Kingdom will also be implicated.
If he changed his mind now, he would be killed by Fang Jian at most, but his family would be saved. After all, 'death has no proof'.
However, the moment he spoke, the voice that came out of his mouth was: "I plead guilty. It was 'Mrs. Yao Yun' who ordered me to bribe the Yuntai Immortal bandits to sneak into Yujing City and kill Master Yundan."
The moment Cai Zhen finished speaking, even he changed his color in shock, covered his mouth suddenly, and opened his eyes wide.
How could he say what he was thinking?No, I should still retract my confession!
Suddenly, Cai Zhen raised his head and looked at Fang Jian aside, and saw Fang Jian smiling. He immediately understood that it was Fang Jian who was responsible.
Fang Jian sneered in his heart, how could he not consider this?Therefore, the Taisu Xuanguang that penetrated into Cai Zhen's Yuan Shen also carried the power of a lawful avenue.
The power of this law allows Cai Zhen to tell the truth, not lies!
The expressions of the five Taoist priests changed drastically, Mrs. Yao Yun!That is the granddaughter of Taoist Taishi.
Even Tao Zhen Tao Zun couldn't sit still and immediately shouted to Cai Zhen: "Cai Zhen, do you know who Mrs. Yao Yun is? She is the grandson of Tao Zun Tai Shi, the regent of Honglutai. How dare you accuse Yao Yun who has been wronged? lady?"
Cai Zhen hurriedly opened his mouth to continue to retract his confession, but as long as he opened his mouth, it was bound to be the truth. After just a few sentences, everything was revealed.
The five Taiwanese assistants became more and more frightened as they listened. Tao Zhen Tao Zun hurriedly stopped the discussion: "We will suspend the discussion today and discuss it another day."
"I don't agree." At this moment, Prince Yunhao on the side said directly: "Taizhen Taoist Master, why did you suspend the discussion for no reason?"
Tao Zhen Tao Zun looked at Yun Hao and said: "Prince Yun Hao, this matter is related to Mrs. Yao Yun. We must investigate it clearly. We cannot listen to Cai Zhen's words alone."
Prince Yunhao said calmly: "Taizhen Taoist Master, Mrs. Yao Yun is the wife of our Jingshan Tao Kingdom. If what Cai Zhen said is true, this is a family matter of our Jingshan Tao Kingdom and must be interrogated clearly today. If Tao Zhen Taoist Master forcibly suspends If we want to discuss the matter, then I will take Cai Zhen directly back to Jingshan Dao Kingdom and hand him over to your father for interrogation."
Hearing Yunhao's words, Tai Zhen Dao Zun was at his wits end. This is the difference between the Crown Prince and the Young Master. Although the Crown Prince is not a Dao Lord, once he leaves his Tao Kingdom, he represents the entire Tao Kingdom and the country of the Tao Kingdom. host.
Therefore, among everyone here, only Prince Yunhao dared to speak directly to the five Taifus like this.
Finally, at Yunhao's insistence, the five Taiwan assistants stared at Fang Jian with secret hatred in their hearts, but they could only bite the bullet and continue interrogating Cai Zhen.
However, the interrogation of Cai Zhen went extremely smoothly, because Cai Zhen had the power of regularity in his soul, and he quickly confessed in full. A clear context of the Yundan case was revealed in front of everyone.
That 'Mrs. Yao Yun' was not the original wife of Taixu Taoist from Jingshan Taoist Kingdom. Taixu Taoist's original wife died as early as 10 years ago.
After the death of his first wife, Taoist Taixu took Taoist Taishi's eldest granddaughter Yao Yun and gave birth to a son named 'Yunqi'.
Yun Hao and Yun Dan were both born to Taoist Master Taixu's original wife, so if Yao Yun wanted to raise his son to the position of 'eldest son', he must get rid of Yun Hao and Yun Dan.
But Yunhao has been assisting Taoist Master Taixu in Jingshan Taoist Kingdom. She has no chance to make a move, so she has to get rid of Yundan first and then slow down Yunhao.
So she relied on her background and status to win over Cai Zhen, and gave him the power of 60 Chen, making him responsible for killing Yun Dan, and then she could introduce him to Yujing to become the powerful minister.
But Cai Zhen was also smart and did not do it himself. Instead, he bribed the Yuntai Immortal Bandits to kill Yun Dan. He originally wanted to slowly eliminate the Yuntai Immortal Bandits later and silence them. Unexpectedly, the five Taiwan Assistants were also using Yun Dan. Dan's death made a fuss, and he didn't expect that he would be captured by Fang Jian halfway.
After the interrogation was completed, the court minister responsible for recording all the case files handed the two jade books to the five Taiwan assistants and Yun Hao respectively.
After Yunhao looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but angrily said to Cai Zhen: "You bastard, my father treats you badly, but you are so cruel that you kill the son of a gentleman!"
Cai Zhen was horrified and said: "I was also ordered by Mrs. Yao Yun. I can't afford to offend Mrs. Yao Yun!"
"Hmph!" Yunhao snorted coldly, and then raised his hands to the five Taiwanese assistants and said: "Five Taiwanese assistants, now that the death of my brother Yun Dan has come to light, I want to take Cai Zhen back and hand him over to Jun Fu."
The five Taiwan assistants had a huge headache. They never expected that this matter actually involved Yao Yun. They thought that the other ladies of Taixu Taoist Master wanted to compete for favor and position, so they bribed Cai Zhen to kill Yun Dan.
I never expected that Yao Yun, as the wife of the upright Jingshan Taoist monarch, would actually do such a stupid thing.
However, the deal is now done, and as the heir apparent, Yunhao will never give up. After all, Yundan is his biological brother, and Yao Yun is the stepmother who killed his biological brother.
After much deliberation, the five Taiwan assistants had no choice but to issue an edict to hand over Cai Zhen and the entire case to Yunhao, leaving Taoist Taixu to deal with the headache first. After all, it was his current wife who killed his son.
Yunhao accepted the Fu Zhao, then paid homage to the five Taiwan Assistants, then took Cai Zhen away from Fang Jian, and then left the forum.
Seeing Yunhao leaving, the five Taiwanese assistants were very reluctant. It can be said that their plan this time was a complete failure, and they were frustrated and useless.
They made two major miscalculations. One was that they failed to take into account Yao Yun's stupidity, and the other was that they failed to take into account Fang Jian's methods.
At this moment, the contempt that the five Taiwan assistants had for Fang Jian completely disappeared. This proton of Xuanjian Dao Kingdom was very extraordinary. He had strength, a city, and was simply scheming.
"Fang Shaoqing." Tai Zhen Dao Zun called in a cold tone.
Fang Jian bowed his hands and said, "I'm here."
Tao Zhen Tao Zun said: "You have already mastered the evidence and captured Cai Zhen. Why didn't you inform us in advance?"
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said innocently: "I also wanted to report to the five Taiwan Assistants, but the five Taiwan Assistants first went to see Lord Dao, and then returned to the forum and directly announced the convening of the Yundan case. I just wanted to There is no chance to report it? However, isn’t it the same as presenting evidence during the discussion? Five Taiwan Assistants, is there anything inappropriate in what I did? "
Tai Zhen Dao Zun's cheek twitched slightly. This was like they shot themselves in the foot. Their contempt for Fang Jian directly led to the failure of their own plans.
"It's nothing, you did a good job." Tao Zhen Taoist forced a smile on his face, then raised his hand and waved: "You can go down first. The reward for your handling of the Yundan case will be paid out in a few days. of."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Yes, I would like to express my gratitude to the five Taiwan assistants."
After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and left the forum hall.
Watching Fang Jian leave, Tao Zhen Tao Zun immediately said to Yu Mi and Jiang E: "Don't you know about Cai Zhen?"
Jiang E and You Mi were also in a state of confusion. They were quite shocked and surprised by Fang Jian's strange move to reverse the situation. At this moment, when they heard Tao Zhen Tao Zun's question, they were silent for a moment, and then they both said: "Go back to Tai Zhen." Zhen Dao Zun, he didn’t tell us.”
When Tai Zhen Dao Zun heard this, there was not much surprise on his face. It seemed that he had expected it.
"I know, you go back first. The rewards will come out in a few days." Tao Zhen Taoist said with a puff of sleeves.
Jiang E and Youmi immediately stood up and walked to the center of the hall to pay their respects to the five assistants. After leaving, Youmi looked specifically at Zhen Lan's body lying there.
As Jiang E and Youmi left, there were only five Taifu and a group of ministers left in the hall.
At this time Taozhen Taoist Master said: "Sir Qianping, please take someone to take Zhen Lan's body down, place it in a jade coffin, and send a sergeant to send it back to Tianting Tao Kingdom. Tell Tianting Tao Kingdom that it is Mr. Fang of Xuanjian Tao Kingdom." Jian killed their envoy."
When the other four Taiwanese assistants heard this, they all looked at Tao Zhen Taoist in surprise, but soon a knowing smile appeared on their faces.
Lord Qianping immediately took the order, and then led two sergeants to carry Zhen Lan's body down, and then Tao Zhen Taoist Master ordered everyone in the hall to retreat.
When there were only five of them left in the hall, Tao Zhen Taoist Master said in a profound tone: "This Fang Jian is not simple."
After Taozhen Taoist said this, the three Taoists Taiwei, Taichong and Taihe were silent. Only Taogu Taoist suddenly thought of it: "How about sending him to fight against the Taoist Kingdom of Heaven?"
"Killing with a borrowed knife?" The other three Taoist priests suddenly became energetic. Their eyes were bright and they all thought this was a good idea.
In the previous war between Daoting and Tianting Daoguo, not to mention a young minister, even Shangqing Daoting died in countless battles. It is normal for a young minister to die.
Tao Zhen Tao Zun also flashed his eyes slightly, but immediately said: "He is now the captain of the night patrol school, and has no obligation to conquer. Moreover, the Yundan case has just been solved. Doing so will arouse suspicion and easily fall into the trap." The population is real. Although this proposal is good, we still need to wait for time and consider it in the long term."
When the other four assistants heard this, they all smiled and nodded.
