Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
He witnessed the nearly eight months of chaotic shutdown, but he did not care, even though many crimes occurred at night in Yujing City during these eight months.
Because the decree of the Taoist Master Taichu is there, he wants to use the Night Patrol Captain's Office to remove the amnesty from the remnants of the Huisheng Rebellion.
"The new night patrol captain is the hostage of Xuanjian Dao Kingdom, right?" Chan Ye Zi asked.
Chen Xuan replied, "Yes, he is the criminal leader of the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion."
When Chan Ye Zi heard the word "criminal leader", he knew what was going on and asked, "Who did he offend?"
Chen Xuan said, "I have offended Ling Xizi, the steward of the Honglutai Seal Records Pavilion."
Zen Ye Zi said calmly, "Well, Fang Jian has only been in office for one day, and how come the Night Patrol Captain's Office is already back up and running? Isn't there any trouble?"
Chen Xuan reported, "My lord, there is no trouble. I have already sent people to inquire, and according to the people at the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion, it was Captain Fang Jian who suppressed Gao Zaidao's group."
Upon hearing this, Chan Ye Zi shook his head and said calmly, "If it were so easy to suppress, that group of people would have been suppressed to death long ago."
After saying this, Chan Ye Zi said to Chen Xuan, "Don't worry about him. Within ten days, Gao Zaidao and his group will definitely break through the suppression and escape. When chaos breaks out again, this Fang Jian will be killed unjustly again."
"Yes." Chen Xuan bowed and said, "I will take my leave."
Zen Ye Zi closed his eyes and sat still again, not saying anything more. Chen Xuan outside turned and left.
...
This night was destined to be a special night in Yujing City. The Night Patrol Captain's Mansion, which had been out of service for eight months, resumed operation and became the talk of everyone in Yujing City.
But all the nobles of the Dao Court came to the same conclusion, that is, Gao Zaidao and others who were "suppressed" by Fang Jian would soon escape by relying on the "general trend", and then cause a big mess again, making Fang Jian the fourteenth captain of the Night Patrol to be executed.
So in the eyes of these nobles, Fang Jian's behavior was nothing more than a struggle before despair.
Even Ling Xizi and others who received the news were not too surprised, because they quickly made the same judgment as the previous people.
Just as the nobles of Yujing City were surprised that the Night Patrol had resumed operations, but were still pessimistic about the prospects of the new Night Patrol Captain, Luan Xiao, a Night Patrol official who was patrolling Xuanwu Street, caught the first criminal after the resumption of operations.
This man was a minister, and his cultivation level was only that of a Golden Immortal. However, when he was caught, he was leading ten other Golden Immortals to beat up a commoner. The commoner was beaten up just for looking at him for a second while walking on the road. He was covered in wounds, but he did not dare to resist.
"How dare you arrest me?" the official shouted at Luan, "Do you know who I am? I am Lie Heng, the son of Lie Yi Shangqing, the judge of the Palace of Justice!"
Luan Xiao was surprised to hear this. It turned out to be the son of Shangqing, and the son of Lie Yi Shangqing, who was in charge of criminal law in the Ministry of Justice.
As Lie Heng announced his origins, the commoner who was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Lie Heng and others was so scared that he got up from the ground and ran away, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Lie Heng burst into laughter when he saw this scene, then looked at Luan Xiao and said, "You guys just get out now, and I can pretend nothing happened."
Luan Xiao frowned when he heard this, but when he thought of the other party's background, he swallowed his anger and said, "Since the victim has escaped..."
But before Luan Xiaoqiao could finish his joke, the fifty soldiers around him formed a battle formation and rushed forward, directly scattering Lie Heng and the ten Daluo Jinxians beside him, and then used the formation to knock Lie Heng and others to the ground and captured them.
Luan Xiao was shocked and quickly asked, "What are you doing? Why don't you release Fellow Daoist Lie Heng?"
Lie Heng recovered from his initial panic and shouted, "You blind bastards, why don't you let me go now?"
The ten Daluo Jinxians who followed Lie Heng also shouted, "My son is the son of Lord Lie Yi, how dare you commit treason!"
"How dare you! Let the young master go!"
Even Luan Xiao once again rebuked the fifty-odd night patrol soldiers and asked them to release Lie Heng and the others immediately.
But the fifty soldiers said, "We only follow the orders of the captain. The captain told us to enforce the law impartially while on patrol."
At this point, one of the soldiers kicked Lie Heng in the mouth, who was still cursing and shouting, and cursed: "You beast, others are afraid of you, but I am not. If you have the guts, let your father, the Shangqing, come and kill me?"
Hearing this, Luan Xiao instantly recovered from the anger he felt at being contradicted by these Night Patrol soldiers. Firstly, these soldiers were not his subordinates in the first place. Secondly, these soldiers still had the seventeen pardon orders on them, and Fang Jian had not removed them.
Therefore, they did not need to give face to themselves, the minister, nor did they need to give face to Lie Yi, the minister. They only needed to obey Fang Jian's orders.
Luan Xiao had nothing to say and could only helplessly watch as the fifty soldiers captured Lie Heng and others, then formed a battle formation, surrounded Lie Heng and others in the middle, and then took them directly back to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion and reported to Fang Jian.
When Fang Jian received the report that patrolling soldiers had caught Lie Heng, the son of Lie Yi Shangqing, who was committing a crime on Xuanwu Street, Fang Jian couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
But then the surprised expression turned into an intriguing smile. Fang Jian said with a smile, "I didn't expect that on my first day in office, his son would fall into my hands. This is fate!"
