Yao Shu and Fang Yue were arrested and imprisoned in the Tinglusi prison. At the same time, under Fang Jian's arrangement, the affairs of Yao Shu and Fang Yue had become known to the whole city.

Even though the Yao family members were furious, they did not dare to ask the Dao Court to investigate who had leaked the video, because the Yao family's reputation in Yujing City was now in ruins.

In fact, everyone knows the extravagant things that the nobles do, but no matter how much they spend, they cannot be so shameless and have no regard for the bottom line.

The Yao family now dares not even go out of the door. Once they go out, they will inevitably be despised by everyone in Yujing City.

Therefore, only ten days after Yao Shu was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice, Yao Xiang, the prince of Ganzhao Dao Kingdom, rushed to Yujing City day and night in compliance with the order of the king Yao Cheng Daozun.

Therefore, there was one more person discussing matters at the conference table, Yao Xiang, the prince of Ganzhao Dao Kingdom.

Of course, because the fifteen junior ministers of Jingshan Dao Kingdom insisted on requesting the execution of Yao Shu and Fang Yue five days ago, they were not summoned to the meeting table on the second day. Instead, they were asked to go back to guard the body of Prince Yun Hao and would be notified after the meeting table had discussed the results.

At the same time, the delegation, which had been away from Yujing for more than a month, finally returned to Yujing City from Jingshan Dao Kingdom. Afterwards, Jiang E and Ren Mi went to the council table to report that they had brought Madam Yao Xing back to Yujing City.

That day, a royal carriage drove into the Tianzhao Immortal Palace, and members of the Yao family immediately came out to take Madam Yao Xing to live in the inner palace.

The next day, Madam Yao Xing, who had just returned to Yujing City, participated in the meeting at the council table in the name of "Madam of the King of Jingshan Dao".

This meeting is extremely confidential. Only the five regent bloodlines among the Shangqing are qualified to attend the meeting, and the rest of the participants are all Daozun-level figures.

After three days of closed-door meetings at the council table, an imperial edict came down from the council table, ordering General Yi Zhen of the Left Army to dispatch 50,000 troops into Yujing City, with 10,000 troops to guard the Imperial Clan Courtyard, and the remaining 40,000 to take over the patrol duties of the four streets of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird.

The soldiers of the Day Patrol and Night Patrol were ordered to return to their respective prefectures and not to come out. Only the captains of the Day and Night Prefectures were allowed to enter and leave freely.

At the same time, a curfew was imposed on the above four streets. After dusk, no one below the rank of Shaoqing was allowed to go out on the streets without permission, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

Fang Jian stood in front of the gate of the Zongfanyuan Palace, looking at the brightly lit but empty street where only teams of soldiers armed with spears and halberds, looking murderous, were patrolling. His eyes flickered and he turned and entered the Zongfanyuan Palace.

Ten days have passed since the coffin of Prince Yunhao was brought into the city. Now, the palace of Jingshan Dao State in the Zongfanyuan is basically occupied by people from Jingshan Dao State.

After Fang Jian entered the main hall where Prince Yunhao's body was being laid to rest, he found the fifteen junior officials of the Jingshan Dao Kingdom and said to them, "Please move to the backyard."

After saying that, Fang Jian turned around and left the hall, heading straight to the backyard.

Although the fifteen Shaoqing were confused, they did not hesitate. Instead, they stood up together and followed Fang Jian to the backyard.

After arriving at the backyard, Fang Jian used the power of "Dao·Law" to shield the place, making it impossible for anyone to eavesdrop on the content of their conversation.

"Captain Fang, what's the matter that you asked us to come here?" The young officials looked at Fang Jian and asked.

Fang Jian said, "My dear young ministers, the movements at the council table today are unusual. It's very likely that something has changed."

"Change?" Everyone's expression froze, and then they looked at Fang Jian.

Fang Jian said, "Mrs. Yao Xing returned to Yujing City three days ago."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed drastically. A female junior official angrily asked, "Why would the King let her come back?!"

"Let's not talk about this, she returned to Yujing and didn't even come to pay homage to the prince!"

"Worship? Is that the cat crying over the rat? The prince's death must have a lot to do with her."

Fang Jian raised his hand to stop everyone from venting their anger, and said, "Not only has Madam Yao Xing returned to Yujing, but the prince of Gan Zhao Dao Kingdom has also come to Yujing. He must have come because of the matter of Yao Shu."

"So what?" a junior official said, "The evidence of Yao Shu and Fang Yue's affair is irrefutable, and everyone in Yujing City knows about it!"

Fang Jian said, "You might as well listen to my guess. What if Madam Yao Xing, in the name of the wife of the King of Jingshan Dao, forgave Yao Shu and Fang Yue?"

"What?! How could she do this?!" Everyone was shocked and angry.

Fang Jian said, "This is just my guess, but it's probably accurate. If the Yao family is willing to give up some benefits to the other four major families and the Dao masters, it won't be difficult to protect Yao Shu and Fang Yue. Furthermore, 50,000 soldiers from the Left Army have already entered the city, with 10,000 of them 'guarding' the Imperial Clan Court. While they say they're guarding, they're actually monitoring the Pure Good Dao Nation."

When the junior officials heard this, they were all filled with anger and indignation. Another female junior official cried, "Why? Our Jingshan Dao Kingdom is also a vassal state of the Da Dao Court. Why is the council taking such a partiality?"

"Why? Humph!" a male Shaoqing said, "Because their surname is Yao! They are the bloodline of the Great Daoist Master Taishi!"

"Why don't we go to the council table together to discuss an explanation!" said a young official.

This proposal was immediately approved by everyone, but Fang Jian said, "No, there is a curfew outside. If you dare to leave the Zongfanyuan now, they will kill you."

Hearing this, everyone was filled with grief and indignation, and several female officials even squatted on the ground and cried helplessly.

"How could my country be insulted like this? How could we allow it to be insulted like this!" the Shaoqings said in grief and indignation.

Fang Jian sighed, then looked at everyone calmly and said, "I have something to say, would you like to hear it?"

The junior officials all looked up at Fang Jian helplessly, then they all stood up and bowed, saying, "Captain Fang, please give us some guidance."
