043 There are so many ways to make money in the Criminal Law!
The elder's smile froze, and he glared at Kong Xun in dissatisfaction: "Why did you lock me up?"
Kong Xun said with a straight face: “When you came out, you locked all the guests in the hall, which is suspected of endangering public safety.”
The Great Elder was not convinced: "What evidence do you have to prove that I locked it?"
Kong Xun showed a smug smile on his upright face: "There is a photo stone at the door."
The great elder was stunned: "How can you be so sinister?"
Jin Guangcan suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "Forcibly locking doors in public places is suspected of violating fire management regulations. You will be fined, right?"
Kong Xun nodded: "That's right. And because he is on bail, he should be sentenced severely and his bail money should be confiscated."
The Great Elder's heart suddenly turned cold, as if his life was almost gone.
Qiu Junyu tentatively pleaded with him: "Great Elder, at least you saved me, please show some mercy this time and don't arrest him."
Kong Xun said sternly: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. If Lu Chengzhe had not locked up everyone in the palace for his own selfish reasons, the prisoner would not have had the opportunity to escape."
You can lock him up, but you can't look down on him.
The Great Elder argued: "That little girl can directly use the power of the Crossing Tribulation Stage. The Taoist friends in the hall are only in the Fusion Stage. It will be useless if all of them come."
The higher your cultivation level goes, the greater the power gap between two adjacent realms.
If one has the power of the Tribulation Crossing Stage in hand, it will be useless even if all the people in the Fusion Stage are present in the hall.
Kong Xun was choked by these words and was unable to refute for a long time.
Jin Guangcan's thoughts were not led astray by the Great Elder: "That won't affect your punishment!"
"Locking the door is a safety hazard. What if there's a fire in the hall, what will we do with so many people?"
The Great Elder was very disgusted: "You have a fire spirit root, what are you afraid of fire?"
Jin Guangcan: "There are fellow Taoists with water spiritual roots and wood spiritual roots in the hall."
"Master Kong, Lu Chengzhe has refused to change despite repeated admonitions. It looks like he will be severely punished!"
"Give him the maximum penalty!"
Grand Duke Kong Xun nodded selflessly: "Yes."
Although the punishment was the Great Elder's spirit stones, Jiang Xin's heart ached.
[The elders in the fusion stage broke the restriction with such a loud noise, but the photo stone outside the hall was not damaged? 】
【The quality is very good.】 】
[It’s just a pity that the Great Elder has to pay compensation.] 】
[With 80,000 high-quality spirit stones, how many delicious ducks can I buy? 】
[If the maximum penalty is imposed, you will have to pay more spirit stones, right? 】
[Alas, this really makes the already poor family even worse. 】
The elder's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up: "You said I did it, does that mean it must be me? Bring me the image stone!"
A blurry figure emerged from Kong Xun's shadow. It was his clone.
The clone went to get the photo stone, and came back empty-handed after a while. Kong Xun's face suddenly became ugly.
When the monks in the fusion stage joined forces to break the restriction, the photo stone outside the hall was impacted and destroyed.
Naturally, the contents recorded in it could not be preserved.
“Hahahaha…” The Great Elder laughed extremely arrogantly, and his laughter was so loud that it could attract Jiang Yichen who was far away in Tianshui Sect.
Without evidence, you can't arrest anyone.
Kong Xun went to untie the great elder in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, the elder became arrogant and dodged his hands to untie him: "You arrested a good man by mistake. I want to apply for state compensation."
Kong Xun's face darkened: "That would have to be a case of wrongful imprisonment, but your case doesn't count."
"Why not? You tied me up in front of His Majesty! Pay me! Don't even think about untying me without a million or eight hundred thousand."
The great elder shook his hands vigorously, and the iron chains wrapped around his hands collided with each other, making a crisp sound of tinkling.
You are too dog-like, aren't you?
Jin Guangcan looked at the Great Elder in disbelief.
Qiu Junyu looked at Kong Xun, then at the Great Elder, sighed inwardly, and came out to act as a peacemaker:
"Since he was mistakenly arrested and released on the spot, compensation should be paid based on one day's duration."
Kong Xun disagreed: "Your Majesty, we don't need to pay compensation."
"The law stipulates that the government has twelve hours to conduct an interrogation. The arrest warrant has not yet been issued and is currently in the interrogation stage."
"I will take Lu Chengzhe back to the Ministry of Justice now. After twelve hours, if he is truly innocent, I will release him."
The great elder who had to spend twelve hours in jail for nothing: "???"
No, is it necessary to be so strict?
Jin Guangcan laughed out loud: "Serves you right!"
The Great Elder: "I suddenly feel that the compensation is not that important. Let me go, I have something else to do."
Kong Xun wanted to say something, but Qiu Junyu, who didn't want the matter to get out of hand, took the initiative to unclip the great elder's chains and released him.
Jiang Xin sighed inwardly when she saw this.
[Why is Master so cowardly?] 】
[Before committing a crime, read the Criminal Law first and estimate how many years you will be sentenced to. Don’t you even learn such basic things? 】
[Alas, the monks nowadays are really worse than the previous generation! 】
[I will ask Xiu Gou to buy a copy of Criminal Law for the Great Elder later, so that he can read it before committing a crime. 】
The Great Elder: “…”
My dear niece, it seems that you are an expert in this field?
…
The matter of Qi Wanyun still needed to be dealt with, so Qiu Junyu asked several people from the Tianshui Sect to stay in the palace for the time being.
Jiang Xin has always been disgusted by the stench on her body and would refuse to sleep no matter how sleepy she was.
Lin Yan had no choice but to let the two puppets take her to take a bath before the little girl fell asleep contentedly.
After receiving the news, the Qiu family’s ancestor who was in the Tribulation Period returned to the palace that night to check the situation.
He was a very dignified middle-aged man with a short beard and dressed in royal clothes similar to Qiu Junyu's portrait.
Just standing there without saying a word exudes the majesty of an emperor.
The consciousness of the old ancestor in the Tribulation Crossing Stage was released, covering the entire Qiuye Capital, causing many high-level cultivators in the city to tremble in their hearts.
Everything was normal in the capital on that autumn night, except for some barriers left by Qi Wanyun in the palace.
Once there is any unusual movement, she can create a small world within the barrier that is completely isolated from the outside world, just like the giant tree forest that Jiang Xin and others experienced before.
As for the place where Xing Shuyi had teleported away before, there was a teleportation array there.
But the teleportation array has been destroyed and cannot be restored, and no one knows where the other end leads to.
Although this incident did not lead to a major disaster, the fact that his hometown was robbed and his most talented descendant was controlled made the ancestor of the Qiu family frightened.
"None of the currently active Demon Kings in the Tribulation Crossing Stage has a true form of a giant tree. We don't know if anything has happened to the demon race."
"It just so happens that I have some free time these few days, so I'll go to the Demon Realm to visit these old friends."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Old Ancestor." Qiu Junyu bowed respectfully.
"The other party's target is Jiang Yichen's daughter. Has the Tianshui Sect sent anyone to the Demon Realm?" asked the ancestor of the Qiu family.
Qiu Junyu: "Grandson doesn't know about this. I'll go and find out now."
Qiu Family Patriarch: "I'm leaving first. Once you find out, use the family secret method to inform me."
"Those guys in the Demon Realm have a grudge against the Tianshui Sect. If the Tianshui Sect sends an elder, I can just use this to sell for a good price."
Qiu Junyu watched the old ancestor leave with an indescribable feeling, suspecting that he also had a grudge against the elders of Tianshui Sect.
After working all night, it was almost dawn when Qiu Junyu sent all the guests away.
Monks do not need to sleep for a long time, and Qiu Junyu was not sleepy either, so he went to the treasury to pick out some things.
As soon as it was daybreak, he went to find Jiang Xin with a carefully wrapped gift.
Jiang Xin woke up and lay in the cradle to bask in the sun.
Lin Yan sat aside and wiped the tortoise shell used for divination, while Chu Linfeng took a few toys to tease Jiang Xin.
The Great Elder sat on the other side and carefully studied the "Criminal Law" that Jiang Xin gave him early in the morning.
The shops in the large cities in the world of cultivation are open all night long. This is what Jiang Xin asked Xiu Gou to buy at night when he woke up from his dream.
The great elder nodded with deep understanding while browsing the book in his hand.
My little niece has some talent. There are so many ways to make money in the Criminal Law!
