In Mingjing City, outside the gate of the temporary palace of the Heavenly Court, Mei Qin, wearing a light green fairy dress and with her hair in a bun like in her youth, stood outside the gate like a graceful fairy.

When the familiar figure appeared in your sight, Meiqin immediately went to meet him.

Tu Feng also looked at the figure coming towards him, and in a trance he returned to his youth, but only a moment later he came back to his senses and his eyes became clear again.

"Brother Tu." Mei Qin stood only a step away from Tu Feng and said with tears in her eyes, "You are still alive. They all said that you... I never believed it."

Tu Feng bowed to Mei Qin, then said with a smile, "Daoist Fellow Mei Qin, how are you?"

Mei Qin was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she looked at Tu Feng in confusion and asked, "Are you...are you Brother Tu?"

"No," Tu Feng shook his head and said, "I am Tu Feng, the law enforcement officer of the Jade Palace of Supreme Divine Justice in the Heavenly Court. Fellow Daoist Meiqin, are you here to plead for Shaoqing Wang Chu?"

Mei Qin frowned. She wanted to admit it, but she didn't dare. She wanted to refute it, but she felt reluctant.

Seeing that she was speechless, Tu Feng immediately smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Meiqin, you don't have to hide it. So many years have passed, and I have long let go of what happened back then."

Hearing Tu Feng's words, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she still wiped away her tears and said to Tu Feng: "Brother Tu..."

"Just call me Fellow Daoist Tu Feng." Tu Feng said with a smile.

Mei Qin felt even worse, but she could only force a laugh and said to Tu Feng, "Brother Tu..., can you let my husband and the others go?"

"No." Tu Feng shook his head and said, "First of all, this is the decree of the True Martial Daoist Master. Not to mention Wang Chu and the others, even those from the five major families of the Dao Court will be judged as well. No one can be exempted."

Tu Feng said it very clearly. This is not my personal vendetta against the Wang family, nor is it because of you. All the ministers in the Dao Court will do the same.

Mei Qin couldn't help feeling sad when she saw Tu Feng said it so clearly and so heartlessly, "Can't there be an exception this time? If possible... I'm willing to do anything." Having said that, Mei Qin looked at Tu Feng with a dim gaze.

Tu Feng sighed, looked at Mei Qin and said, "Eighteen-year-old Mei Qin would never say such a thing, or am I wrong about eighteen-year-old Mei Qin? Is she just like this?"

Meiqin's face turned pale. She stared at Tu Feng for a moment, then turned around and stumbled into the night.

Tu Feng looked at Mei Qin's disappearing figure and sighed again. He suddenly smelled a captivating fragrance in the air, but Tu Feng raised his sleeve and waved it, directly dispersing the fragrance.

This wisp of faint fragrance that was broken away was like the past that was cut off, completely disappearing in Tu Feng's heart.

When Tu Feng returned to his cloud room, his Dao heart had been completed without any deficiency.

...

The next day, outside Mingjing City, Tu Feng read out the decrees of Taoist Master Gou Chen and Taoist Master Zhen Wu, announcing the official start of the trial.

At the same time, a Hunyuan Wuda Luo Jinxian from the Fengyi clan also appeared in a conspicuous position in the crowd. He had obtained permission from the Taoist Master Gou Chen to record the scene of today's trial of the ministers of the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom and spread it.

On the vast plain outside Mingjing City, hundreds of thousands of common people from the Ganzhao Dao Kingdom crowded the entire plain, and even the sky was filled with people standing in layers.

"Begin." After reading the edict, Tu Feng immediately instructed the heavenly general to begin the trial.

The first person to be brought up was Yao Xiang, the king of Ganzhao Dao State. At this time, Yao Xiang was so frightened that his whole body was limp. He was dragged directly to the platform for appealing grievances and exposing crimes by the heavenly soldiers.

As the divine light on the platform for exposing grievances and crimes swept over Yao Xiang, everyone present saw a light curtain appear on the platform, and all the crimes committed by Yao Xiang were revealed one by one in the form of reflections on the light curtain.

Yao Xiang's face turned pale upon seeing all this. Tu Feng finally took a jade slip from the platform for vindication and, after examining it, shouted at Yao Xiang, "Yao Xiang, you have thirty-four serious offenses, twenty-seven moderate offenses, and sixty-eight minor offenses. According to the Heavenly Rules and Jade Laws, you must be beheaded."

"No!" Yao Xiang roared, "I have merit, I have merit for surrendering! Gou Chen Daozun said it himself that I have merit for surrendering!"

Tu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, you have merit for surrendering, but you surrendered when the Heavenly Court army was approaching the capital, so your merit is reduced by half. Your remaining merit can offset the thirty-four serious crimes, but you will still be punished for the twenty-seven medium crimes and sixty-eight minor crimes."

After saying this, Tu Feng extended his hand and wiped the jade slip, finally announcing: "Yao Xiang, the former ruler of Ganzhao Dao State, has been pardoned of thirty-four serious crimes for his meritorious service in surrendering. He will be sentenced to the remaining moderate and minor crimes: Yao Xiang, the former ruler of Ganzhao Dao State, will be stripped of all power and authority, all property will be confiscated, and he will be ordered to participate in labor reform for ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, he will be granted freedom."

Hearing that he would not die, Yao Xiang's despair suddenly turned into ecstasy. He quickly knelt on the ground and bowed loudly: "Yao Xiang thanks the Heaven for its grace, thanks the Heaven for its grace."

"Take him away." Tu Feng waved his hand and said.

Yao Xiang was immediately taken away by two heavenly generals, followed by Yao Xiang’s relatives and the senior noble families of Ganzhao Dao State.

What followed was the real eye-opener for the common people of the former Ganzhao Dao Kingdom. Yao Xiang’s thirty-four serious crimes were just a fraction of the total among these people.

All the ministers and their families in Ganzhao Dao State had committed at least 500 serious crimes, especially Yao Mei, one of Yao Xiang's sisters. Her crimes were even more shocking.
