"stop!"

Jiang E shouted loudly, then raised her hand and shot out a ray of Taiyin True Light. Taoyu's great power and Taowu's fierce power were instantly crushed by the Taiyin True Light.

Taoyu's body shook violently, his face changed drastically, and he stared at Jiang E and the people behind her.

Taoyu had been a night patrol officer in the Captain's Mansion for a long time. Although he did not recognize the mounts of Jiang E and others, he knew them personally.

Seeing Jiang E, Si Hua, Si Yu, Yao Zhen and Ren Mi walking side by side, the power of the superiors was not something that ordinary people could withstand. It was obvious that Tao Yu and the ten soldiers behind him could not bear it either.

Jiang E walked up to Mu Qilin and stroked his head. Mu Qilin rubbed his head against Jiang E's palm obediently, then said in a childish voice, "Master, they bullied me."

Jiang E frowned, turned around and looked at Tao Yu and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Taoyu swallowed his saliva. At this moment, the surroundings became extremely quiet, and the princes and ladies looked at them with a gloating look.

Although Taoyu was frightened, he knew at this moment that he could not back down. Once he did, the prestige that the Night Patrol Captain's Office had worked so hard to build up would be gone.

So Taoyu stepped forward, bowed to Jiang E and said, "Greetings, Lord Jiang E."

Jiang E said calmly, "What do you want to do?"

Tao Yu was stunned for a moment, then raised the jade slip in his hand and said, "To Lord Jiang E, I am on patrol under the orders of the captain, enforcing the night patrol order."

But before Jiang E could say anything, Si Hua Shangqing behind her asked, "Who is your captain?"

Tao Yu glanced up and then reported, "Replying to Lord Si Hua, it was Captain Fang Jian, who was patrolling the Captain's Office at night."

As soon as Tao Yu finished speaking, Shang Qing Yao Zhen gave another order: "Go, call him here and make him apologize to Shang Qing Jiang E in person."

After Yao Zhen Shangqing finished speaking, Ren Mi Shangqing continued, "Give him an incense stick of time. If he doesn't see anyone after that, let him go to the Court of Justice to answer for his crime."

But at this moment, a strange scene occurred. After hearing the words of Si Hua, Yao Zhen, and Ren Mi, the three high ministers, Tao Yu had not yet spoken when Jiang E in front of him suddenly paused and said, "Wait a minute."

Jiang E's brows relaxed, and she looked at Tao Yu and asked, "You said you were carrying out the night patrol order under the orders of Captain Fang Jian?"

Taoyu quickly replied, "Yes."

Jiang E stretched out her jade hand and said, "Let me see it."

Taoyu quickly handed the jade slip over. Jiang E took it, unfolded it, and looked at it carefully. Then she asked, "Where did this decree come from?"

Tao Yu said, "It was compiled by Captain Fang Jian."

"Oh." Jiang E nodded, then said, "I'll take this."

"Ah?!" Taoyu was stunned, then reacted and said, "Shangqing Jiang'e, please do as you please."

Si Hua Shangqing, who was standing by, was very puzzled when he saw this scene and asked, "Sister E, what do you want this for?"

Then Si Hua turned to Tao Yu and said, "Call your captain immediately and go in person."

"No," Jiang E quickly interrupted Si Hua, then said, "There's no need to call Captain Fang Jian. Now, according to the Night Patrol Regulations, what crime have I committed? How should I be punished?"

Compared with Si Hua and others, Jiang E knew Fang Jian very well. If Fang Jian was really called over, no one present would be in good shape.

Although Si Hua and others are also descendants of the Regent Taoist Master, and their Taoism, magic weapons, and strength are very strong, Fang Jian may not be able to deal with them, but Jiang E does not want to see Fang Jian encounter any accidents.

Moreover, Jiang E did not want to leave any bad impression in Fang Jian's mind. She knew better than anyone what Fang Jian's attitude was towards the law. If this matter got out of hand, and Fang Jian felt even a little bit of dissatisfaction and disgust towards her, she would regret it.

"What? Punishment?"

Jiang E's words shocked everyone, especially Si Hua and the other four ministers, who looked at Jiang E in disbelief.

Soon, Si Yu Shang Qing said to Jiang E, "Shang Qing Jiang E, you are the grandson of Taiyi Daoist Master. How can you accept punishment from a mere night patrol officer? You will dishonor Taiyi Daoist Master and the dignity of your family."

But Jiang E said decisively: "If I have really committed a crime according to the Night Patrol's laws, then I should be punished by the Night Patrol."

After hearing Jiang E's words, Senior Minister Yao Zhen said, "Supreme Minister Jiang E, the Dao Court established these ministries and offices to manage the common people and serve the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Dao Court. We established them to help us manage our affairs, not to have them manage us. You must understand this."

"That's right," said Lord Renmi. "We gave them the authority. How can a lowly official control the Lord?"

After hearing what these ministers said, Jiang E suddenly realized a problem that she had never realized before, that is, the system of the Great Dao Court was very "primitive" and "backward" compared to the Heavenly Court in the three realms of the world.

At first, she didn't understand why Lord Haotian and his men wanted to establish their own Heavenly Court to fight against the Dao Court. Now she seems to understand a little.

Ever since she returned to the Xiantian Wuji Realm, all her thoughts were based on her identity as the granddaughter of Taiyi Taoist Master and a member of the ruling class of the Dao Court. Naturally, she did not think there was anything wrong with these words.

But when her position deviates slightly from the mainstream position of the Dao Court, she becomes very aware of this problem.

Would anyone in the Heavenly Court of the Three Realms say such a thing? Absolutely not. Even if they thought so in their hearts, they wouldn't dare to say it out loud, because in the Heavenly Court ruled by the Lord Haotian, having such thoughts is a great sin.
