The people of Jingshan Daoguo did not want the bodies to be taken down, and Gu Zhenqing and the people of Rixunfu also wanted to keep the bodies hanging for a while longer, so the two sides tacitly started pulling each other back and forth.

As a result, the people from the Japanese Patrol Office naturally had no time to go and take the body.

In this way, more than a hundred corpses were hung on the street, and the news soon spread. The long street outside the Honglutai soon became the most famous "attraction" in Yujing City.

Nobles, state officials, and people living in Yujing City from various countries all came to investigate. Combined with the stories told by some people from the Rixun Mansion and Jingshan Dao Kingdom, the incident of "hundreds of corpses hanging in the streets" in Ganzhao Dao Kingdom instantly detonated the entire Yujing City.

The reputation of Fang Jian, the captain of the Night Patrol, spread throughout Yujing City, and for a time he even became one of the most well-known figures among the people of Yujing City.

But just three hours later, Sanxu Shangqing of the Garrison Office hurriedly came to the outside of the Honglutai with 500 soldiers, took down all the corpses and transported them back to the Garrison Office for storage.

But it was too late now, the matter had already spread completely, and all kinds of 'videos' recorded with magical powers of hundreds of corpses hanging on the streets had been spread everywhere, and could not be suppressed.

...

Inside the meeting room, the five ministers were furious. Shangqing Qianping stood in the middle of the hall with sweat all over his forehead. He had never seen the five ministers so angry.

Yao Hong, the Yao clan leader and councilor, shouted, "Immediately arrest Fang Jian and bring him to justice! Immediately!"

The Taoist Tai Zhang, who was in charge of the Court Law Department, stood up and said, "I will give the order. No, I will personally arrest Fang Jian!"

Taoist Taizhang is a powerful person in the Pure Realm. From Fang Jian's series of "battle records", it can be seen that even the Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian is no longer able to deal with Fang Jian, and he has to take action personally.

But at this time, Taixiao Daozun stood up again and said, "Wait a minute."

Daoist Tai Zhang looked at Daoist Tai Xiao, who said, "Let me bring Fang Jian over."

Yao Hong said coldly, "Taoist Master Taixiao, you were the one who recommended Fang Jian to handle the Honglutai matter. Are you planning to let him leave the city out of personal favor?"

Taoist Taixiao said calmly, "Fang Jian did handle the Honglutai incident, and it was done cleanly and efficiently."

"But he killed people! More than a hundred people!" Yao Hong said angrily.

Taoist Taixiao said calmly, "But the decree given to him by the Council didn't say he couldn't kill anyone. It simply ordered him to quell the chaos between the nobles of the two countries within a limited time. Isn't that the case with the five ministers?"

Hearing the words of Daoist Master Taixiao, the five ministers paused for a moment, and then Daoist Master Taizhen said, "Although this is the case, Yujing City is not a place for killing. Fang Jian dared to kill a foreign country's national scholar and capture a foreign prince. This is already a violation of the law and must be severely punished."

Then, Daoist Master Taizhen said to Daoist Master Taixiao, "Since you recommended him, then bring him here."

Taoist Taixiao bowed and replied, "As you command."

At this time, Senior Minister Qianping hastily added, "When Senior Minister Jiang'e and Senior Minister Renmi left, the five ministers gave Fang Jian their family token, the 'Purple Clear Jade Pendant.'"

"What?!"

Hearing this, not only the five ministers, but also the ministers and senior ministers around them were all stunned, and Taixiao Daozun also looked slightly surprised.

"Why are they doing this?" asked a councilor from the First Purity Realm. Daoist Master Taixiao took a look and saw that it was Ren Mi's uncle, the patriarch of the Ren clan, 'Ren An'.

Minister Qianping hurriedly replied, "Your Excellency, I don't know either, but Minister Jiang'e and Minister Renmi seem... seem... very concerned about Fang Jian..."

"This is impossible!" The young nobles present were immediately shocked. "Shangqing Qing, you must have seen it wrong!"

"Yes, you must have seen it wrong. Don't speak nonsense and tarnish the reputation of Shangqing Jiang'e and Shangqing Renmi."

Faced with the excited accusations of these young nobles, Shangqing Qianping cautiously chose to remain silent.

However, this incident caused the Daozun and the Councillors to frown. At this time, Daozun Taichong said to Ren'an, "Daozun Ren'an, you are the patriarch of the Ren family. You must handle this matter with caution."

Upon hearing this, Ren An said directly, "Don't worry, Daoist Master Taichong. Once Fang Jian arrives, I will take back the purple jade pendant in the name of the clan leader."

Doing so would harm the reputation of the Ren family. Once the Ziqing jade pendant is given away, it must be taken back after helping that person at least once. But Ren An had no choice. He could only do this at this time!

After receiving Daoist Master Ren'an's assurance, Daoist Master Taichong looked at the beautiful woman standing beside Daoist Master Ren'an. "Daoist Master Jiang Yan, what about you?"

Jiang Yan, the second daughter of Taoist Taiyi, Jiang E's aunt, is also the patriarch of the Jiang family in Yujing City.

But unlike Ren An, Jiang Yan hesitated. She glanced at the people around her and said, "Well... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I don't dare to accept it."

"Don't dare? Why?" Yao Hong asked in surprise.

Jiang Yan said helplessly: "Although Xiao'e is my niece, not to mention me as the clan leader, even her own father doesn't dare to mess with her."

"Impossible?!" Ren An said in disbelief, "How can a father not dare to offend his children?"

Jiang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't dare, because Xiao'e has her grandfather's support."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, "Taiyi Taoist Master?"

"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded and said, "My patriarch loves Jiang E very much and even granted her the right to visit Taiyi Palace at any time. I would like to ask everyone, who among you has such treatment?"

After hearing what Jiang Jian said, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Yao Hong and Ren An kept silent. Although they were the biological sons of Taiji Daozun and Taishi Daozun, they would never dare to go to Taiji Palace or Taishi Palace to disturb them without the decree of Taiji Daozun and Taishi Daozun.
