027 Lend me your wife
Xiu Gou's curses echoed throughout the entire spirit boat, even alarming the two new Spirit Transformation cultivators.
Even so, Jiang Xin was not woken up and continued to sleep soundly.
She was immersed in a beautiful dream, in which she saw herself lying on pieces of top-grade spirit stones, with the sparkling light of spirit stones everywhere.
Suddenly, eighty thousand high-quality spirit stones were about to fly away. Jiang Xin was so scared that he quickly grabbed a spirit stone and knocked down the flying spirit stones.
Thanks to her quick reaction, she saved the 80,000 spirit stones, otherwise the beautiful dream would have turned into a nightmare.
Jiang Xin immediately slept more soundly.
On the spirit boat, Shan Hongxiao felt that he must be experiencing an unprecedented nightmare.
Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu tied him up with the Immortal Binding Chain with a smile, and Hong Xiao spat fiercely on the bed sheet:
"What a joke!"
"Damn it! If it weren't for you stealing my wife, would I have ended up like this?"
Xuan Jiu Xianjun tied a knot on the immortal lock, wiped the saliva on his face, and emphasized seriously: "I'm just borrowing it, just borrowing your wife!"
This sounds even stranger.
Shan Hongxiao was even angrier: "Borrow your ass! You are just stealing!"
"It's 'borrow'! I left you a note!" Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu emphasized.
Shan Hongxiao felt that the note that said "Lend me your wife" was a provocation:
"Did I agree to it? If I didn't agree, and you took my wife away, what else could that be but stealing?"
Xuan Jiu Xianjun was not convinced: "You didn't refuse it!"
The two people quarreled and kept arguing until the spirit boat entered Qiuyejing.
Jiang Xin woke up yawning, and saw Shan Hongxiao arguing with Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu not far away, with his face red, and felt relieved.
She still has 80,000 high-quality spirit stones.
[Receive your reward!] Collect your reward! 】
The little guy was not sleepy at all. His chubby little body was swaying from side to side, and he couldn't wait to rush to the government office.
The force was so strong that Lin Yan could hardly hold her, so he could only remind her with a smile: "Don't worry, little apprentice sister, the government officials are waiting outside, and we will get the reward soon."
He carried Jiang Xin to the side of the boat.
On an autumn night in Beijing, at the land dock of the Kesiyunlai Trading Company, there was a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage waiting there.
The man was wearing an indigo robe with golden autumn osmanthus and a bright full moon embroidered on his chest.
This is the official uniform of the Qiu Ye Dynasty, and the person coming is Kong Xun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Qiu Ye Dynasty.
The spirit boat was slowly descending and was stopping steadily on a special open space.
The passengers queued up to disembark in an orderly manner.
"Let's go, little sister, let's go collect the bounty!" Chu Linfeng picked up Jiang Xin and happily took her to find Kong Xun.
Jiang Xin smiled widely, raised her little fist and looked full of energy.
[Eighty thousand spirit stones!] 】
[Eighty thousand spirit stones!] 】
【Wait a moment! You can also earn spirit stones! 】
She suddenly thought of something and turned her body to stop Chu Linfeng from going forward.
[Fifth Brother, wait a minute.] Let’s go and tie up Immortal Lord Xuanjiu! 】
[Although no one has offered a reward for him, stealing is illegal. If he is caught and handed over to the government, he will be rewarded with ten high-quality spirit stones! 】
[Hurry, hurry, hurry!] We must tie up the man before the government officials get on board! ! 】
Jiang was so anxious that he screamed.
Why is it that she is just a little baby and no one can understand what she says!
Chu Linfeng suddenly realized what was going on. He stuffed Jiang Xin into Lin Yan's arms and tied up Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu who was talking to someone.
The latter was confused: "Young Master, what do you mean?"
Chu Linfeng: "Do what is right and be brave."
Xuan Jiu Xianjun was even more confused: "I didn't do anything wrong!"
Shan Hongxiao answered quickly: "How come you stole my wife, and that's not considered a crime?"
Xuan Jiu Xianjun: "I borrowed it! Borrowed it!"
"Save this for the authorities." When Chu Linfeng saw the Vice Minister of Justice Kong Xun board the boat, he quickly put a silent talisman on Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu.
After a brief greeting, Kong Xun carefully identified Shan Hongxiao. After confirming that it was him, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, my friends. The reward will be delivered soon."
"I heard there is another Taoist friend in the Void Refining Stage. May I ask where is that person?"
Xiu Gou was physically and mentally injured because he was thrown out three times in a row.
As soon as Jiang Xin woke up, it whimpered back into her palm and said goodbye to this indifferent world.
This matter cannot be told to outsiders. Chu Linfeng said skillfully: "The affairs of a Taoist master in the Void Refining Stage, a junior in the Golden Core Stage dare not ask about it."
Kong Xun thought it made sense and thought the other party had left, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He looked at Xuan Jiu Xianjun in confusion: "Why is this person tied up?"
"He stole my wife!" Shan Hongxiao answered quickly.
Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu tried hard to refute, but because of the silence talisman on him, he couldn't even open his mouth. All that could be seen was his extremely excited expression and his constantly distorted face.
Kong Xun's face flashed with embarrassment: "This... is not within the scope of the Ministry of Justice's responsibilities."
The laws of the Qiuye Dynasty did not address how to deal with stealing.
In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and the laws are maintained by the strong.
There are male practitioners who have many wives and concubines, and there are also female practitioners who have a house full of husbands.
This is a moral issue and he has no authority to interfere.
Chu Linfeng knew that Kong Xun had misunderstood, so he briefly explained the situation: "The wife he stole was not his real wife..."
"It's my real wife!" Shan Hongxiao would not allow anyone to look down on his wife.
Chu Linfeng put a silent talisman on him and continued to explain to Kong Xun, "It's a pillow."
He told the whole story in a few words.
Kong Xun understood: "According to the laws of the Qiuye Dynasty, if you catch this thief and the victim agrees, you can get a reward equal to one cent of the value of the stolen item."
For Shan Hongxiao, the spiritual value of the stolen pillow is immeasurable.
Fortunately, Chu Linfeng is a down-to-earth person, and he only needs to collect the reward according to the original price of the pillow.
The pillow is worth ten thousand high-quality spirit stones, and they can receive ten high-quality spirit stones.
Now it depends on whether Dan Hongxiao is willing to pay the money.
Shan Hongxiao was unwilling.
As soon as Kong Xun and Chu Linfeng looked over at him, he turned away and ignored them.
Chu Linfeng was a little disappointed.
Kong Xun comforted him: "Don't be sad, my friend. Shan Hongxiao has committed many evil things. Now that he has been caught, we will impose a fine on him."
"I can help you apply for a bounty from this fine."
Chu Linfeng was happy: "Then I would like to thank you first. By the way, what will be the sentence for them?"
Kong Xun thought for a moment and said, "Although Xuan Jiu was guilty of theft before, it is his first offense, he has the intention to return the stolen goods, and he saved the entire ship, so he can be given a lighter sentence."
There was a gleam of anticipation in Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu's eyes.
Kong Xun said: "Probably sentenced to three or four years."
Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu suddenly looked as pale as death.
After spending three or four years in jail, the interest on the debts he owed must have skyrocketed, right?
All the creditors will have to take knives to chop him!
Wait, the creditors shouldn’t be able to go to the Ministry of Justice’s prison, right?
or……
Sentence him to life imprisonment?
This way you don’t have to pay back the money!
Immortal Lord Xuan Jiu's thoughts were opened up and everything became clear.
He tore off the Silence Talisman on his body with his mouth and righteously asked Kong Xun: "I want to stay in the Ministry of Justice for the rest of my life!"
Chu Linfeng and Shan Hongxiao both looked at him in horror.
Kong Xun was not surprised by the praise or criticism and refused sternly: "You are dreaming. The prison of the Ministry of Justice is not a safe place for anyone."
Chu Linfeng felt that he was too calm: "Aren't you surprised at all?"
Kong Xun looked very sad: "When you are harmed by the disciples of Tianshui Sect, you will understand."
A question mark slowly appeared above Chu Linfeng's head.
Does their Tianshui Sect have such a bad reputation outside?
