Yu Censhuang immediately clenched her fists in excitement, while the four deacons and six young masters' faces changed.

But then Lie Yi added, "But Young Master Hongqing has indeed injured someone, and the evidence is irrefutable. I hereby render the following judgment: I sentence Young Master Hongqing of Xuanjian Daoguo to 'serve in expiation' and take charge of the 'Night Patrol Captain's Office' in Yujing City, as ordered by law."

The six young masters who were originally very dissatisfied when they heard that Fang Jian was sentenced to "service pardon" now had a huge change in their expressions when they heard that Fang Jian was actually asked to take charge of the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion.

The Night Patrol Captain's Mansion was a place that everyone in Yujing City avoided. Why? It was simple: in the past six months, thirteen Captains had been killed, an average of two Captains per month.

But don't get me wrong, these captains were not killed by others, but by the "Taichu Daozun", one of the five regents of the Dao Court, who issued an edict to kill them. The charges were "dereliction of duty" and "negligence of duty".

Therefore, letting Fang Jian take charge of the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion is equivalent to sending him to the butcher knife of Taichu Daozun.

The six young masters and the four deacons were all smiles. How could they not be satisfied with this verdict? They were absolutely delighted.

They even forgot to mention the plan of asking Fang Jian to compensate them for their losses. He was already dead, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.

Finally, Fang Jian of the Lieyi Dynasty asked, "Young Master Hongqing of Xuanjian Dao State, do you have any objection to this verdict?"

Fang Jian was also stunned. He didn't understand why he was found guilty but still gained the power to run a military governor's office.

But no matter what, at least he has power in his hands. This is an opportunity to develop his own strength, and he cannot let it go, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers involved.

So Fang Jian immediately said, "No objection."

After hearing Fang Jian's words, Lie Yi immediately made a thorough judgment and reported the matter to his superiors, because although he was the one who judged the case, the appointment of the captain of the Night Patrol Captain's Office was not something he could decide.

Lie Yi then announced the adjournment of the court, and everyone immediately left Shouzheng Hall. After leaving Shouzheng Hall, the seven Mingjie Mansion stewards immediately said goodbye to Yi Ji and left.

After the seven deacons left, Yiji came to Fang Jian and said, "Alas, Hongqing Guoshi, I suggest you write a letter to Taiyuan Daozun as soon as possible to explain this matter. There may be a chance for a turnaround. Otherwise..."

Having said that, Yiji shook his head and sighed, then turned and left.

Yu Censhuang was a little puzzled. She also thought that Fang Jian had turned a disaster into a blessing. He was found guilty but was able to take charge of a military governor's office. Isn't this a good thing?

The six young masters were also carried out while still lying on the wooden couch. As they passed by Fang Jian, they all stood up despite the severe pain and bowed to Fang Jian with a fake smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Hongqing, congratulations! You will soon be taking up the position of Night Patrol Captain."

"Congratulations."

"Fellow Daoist Hongqing, take care. I hope to see you again in Yujing City next month."

Fang Jian looked at the six people and said with a smile: "Yes, we will definitely meet again next month."

The six people were originally gloating, but when they heard Fang Jian's words, they inexplicably felt a chill in their hearts.

Then Fang Jian and Yu Censhuang also returned to the Jiaxu Courtyard of Mingjie Mansion. They casually cleaned up the messy courtyard and settled down temporarily. No one came to bother him for the rest of the time.

On the contrary, all the princes from other countries that Mingjie met in the mansion either shook their heads and sighed, or gloated when they saw Fang Jian.

Just after this situation lasted for two days, on the third day, the decree from the Shangshutai arrived. The Taichu Daozun's decree approved the decision of the Court of Law, and formally issued an edict to appoint Fang Jian, the son of Xuanjian Daoguo, as the captain of the Night Patrol Captain's Office in Yujing City, and ordered Fang Jian to take up the post that day without any mistake.

...

When the decree appointing Fang Jian as the captain of the Night Patrol Captain's Office came down, in a jade pavilion in Yujing City, Ling Xizi, the steward of the Honglu Tai Zhuanlu Pavilion, was laughing happily. At this moment, she was entertaining several of her "friends" and "helpers" in Mingjie Mansion.

Ling Xizi held a jade cup in her hand. Sitting around the jade table in front of her were the six young masters who had provoked Fang Jian, as well as the four stewards of Mingjie Mansion who had pointed their spearheads at Fang Jian.

The six young masters were still seriously injured, so they could only lie half-lying on the bench and look at Ling Xizi.

Ling Xizi raised her glass and said, "I want to thank all of you Daoists for helping me vent my anger this time, especially the six Daoists Yun Qingshi. You have suffered so much, and I offer you a toast."

Afterwards, Ling Xizi drank a cup of immortal wine with the six young masters. After putting down the cups, the young master surnamed Yun said, "Originally, we just wanted to cause trouble for him every day, but we didn't expect that boy to be so powerful that he could actually break the Xuanchen Immortal Light that protected us!"

The second young master said, "Yes, we didn't expect that either, but at least the beating was not in vain."

At this time, a deacon said, "Fang Jian's methods were indeed strange. The four of us were watching from a distance at the time and had no idea how he broke through the protective aura of the six young masters."

Ling Xizi's face turned serious when she heard this. Everyone present was a Hunyuan Wuda Daluo Jinxian. Since Fang Jian could easily beat those six young masters like this, he could also beat her, Ling Xizi, like this.

So Ling Xizi toasted the four deacons again and continued, "So, for someone like this, since he has become our enemy, it's better for him to die sooner rather than later."

The fifth young master laughed and said, "He has now become a night patrol captain. He will not survive for more than ten days at the least, and at most this month."

Everyone, including Ling Xizi, smiled and nodded. In their opinion, Fang Jian was doomed to die as a night patrol captain, because the problem of the night patrol captain's mansion could not be solved until 30 night patrol captains died!
