In his heart, Fang Jian was unwilling to take on the task of dealing with the destruction of the Golden Palace Divine Lord, because this matter was too difficult to handle.

Who knows what the Jade Emperor is thinking? If my handling of the matter is not to his liking...

Fang Jianchao turned his head and looked at Yue Fei, but saw that he had a smile on his face and a hint of joy in his eyes.

Seeing Fang Jian looking over, Yue Fei naturally understood what he was thinking, so he said, "Fang Jian, since the Great Heavenly Venerable has given you full authority to handle this matter, you should handle it boldly without hesitation. If there is anything you need the City God Temple's help with, please feel free to ask."

But after Yue Fei finished speaking, he immediately added: "But there is no need to involve innocent people in this matter, Land God... I believe you understand what I mean."

Fang Jian certainly understood what Yue Fei meant. He was afraid that in order to please the Jade Emperor, he would impose severe punishments and implicate widespread people.

After a brief thought, Fang Jian said to Huang Chengyi, the Moon God on Duty, "Lord, can you turn down this errand?"

Huang Chengyi said expressionlessly, "The Jade Emperor's decree cannot be shirked."

After Huang Chengyi finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeves and a golden light instantly flew in front of Fang Jian, and the golden light turned into a jade slip.

Fang Jian took the jade slip, and Huang Chengyi said to him, "The land god only needs to write the name of the person being punished and the punishment he received on this golden jade slip, and then hand it to me when you are done."

"Yes, Fang Jian obeys your order." At this point, Fang Jian could only obey the order.

After receiving the order, Fang Jian did not delay at all and no longer worried about anything else. He immediately spread out the golden edict jade slip and began to write on it.

Yue Fei was slightly surprised, then led everyone to step aside. The Jade Emperor did not let him participate in this matter, so he could not interfere or check the contents of the Golden Edict Jade Slip.

But Fang Jian didn't take too long, as he quickly rolled up the golden edict jade slip, then held it in both hands and handed it to Huang Chengyi, saying, "This lower god has completed the processing. Please review it, upper god."

A ray of immortal light swept up the jade slip and flew it back into Huang Chengyi's hands. Huang Chengyi opened it and took a look. He looked at Fang Jian with a little surprise and said, "Land God, are you sure you want to deal with it this way?"

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes."

Huang Chengyi asked, "You won't punish any of those people?" His face darkened as he said, "I believe that at least the person who brought the Golden Palace Lord's throne to Qingping Mountain without permission should be punished."

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Everything the people did was to protect the Land God Temple. Protecting the Land God Temple is to protect the reputation of the Heavenly Court. In this matter, the people did nothing wrong."

After saying this, Fang Jian added, "The Great Celestial Venerable is compassionate and loving, so he must think the same."

"Alright." Huang Chengyi heard him say this and said, "I will now go to the underworld to announce the decree. Land God, would you like to reconsider?"

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Now that the decree has been issued, there is absolutely no going back on it."

"Okay." Huang Chengyi nodded slowly, then took a step forward, and his real body instantly went to the underworld.

Yue Fei, who was standing nearby, also learned from their conversation how Fang Jian had handled the situation. He walked over to Fang Jian, looked at him, and said with a very pleased smile, "No one else could have done a better job than you."

Fang Jian half-jokingly asked, "Then can I get first place in the Qianyun Mansion Immortal Official Examination at the end of this year?"

"Sure." Yue Fei said seriously, "As long as you don't make any mistakes in the next half of the year, I will give you the first place in the Qianyun Mansion Immortal Official Examination."

"Ah? Really?!" Fang Jian looked at Yue Fei seriously, "Does this count as bribing a superior, a shady operation?"

Yue Fei smiled and asked, "What can you use to bribe me?"

"The merit of punishing evil and promoting good, and protecting all living beings!" Fang Jian said proudly.

Yue Fei stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "If that's the case, I wish all the immortal officials in Qianyun Mansion would come to bribe me."

...

Ever since the Jinque God's tablet was smashed, Gou De'an became anxious and restless, feeling panic-stricken and unable to sleep day or night.

In addition, there has been no news about King Yintu Mountain in the past two days, which made him fall into extreme fear.

"It seems that I have to think of a way out." Gou De'an sat in the hall, looking at the steaming teacup in front of him and thought.

But at this moment, a yamen runner suddenly ran in from outside the hall. The yamen runner said to Gou De'an with a terrified face: "County Master, it's bad, the master...the master..."

Gou De'an raised his head, frowned and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

The yamen runner said palely, "Master...Master is dead, right outside the county yamen."

"What?!" Gou De'an was shocked. He quickly stood up and asked, "Who dares to assassinate a county official in broad daylight?"

"No, the master was not assassinated... County Magistrate, you should go and see it yourself." The bailiff swallowed his saliva and said.

Seeing the panicked look on the yamen runner's face, Gou De'an immediately stepped down and raised his hand, saying, "Take me there."

When Gou De'an saw his master's body, his face turned pale because it was so tragic.

The county coroner came to Gou De'an and reported, "Your Excellency, the yamen runners found you in front of the yamen this morning. Judging from the wounds, you were killed by a stray dog."

"The gatekeeper last night said that he did hear dogs barking outside the county government office this morning." The gatekeeper next to him also said.

"But why did you come to the county government office so early? It's clearly not time for the office to open yet." Another yamen runner asked in confusion.

As Gou De'an listened to the words of the yamen runners around him, he fell into extreme fear.

He didn't even know when he returned to the back hall. There was only one thought in his mind: "Retribution has come."
