As Zhen Qian's corpse was placed in the center of the hall, the Grand Master of Rites, Taihe Daozun, immediately pointed at Zhen Qian's corpse and said to Yun Hao, "Prince Yun Hao, this is the culprit who killed Prince Yun Dan of the Pure Good Dao Nation, Zhen Qian, the special envoy of the Heavenly Court Dao Nation."
Upon hearing this, Yun Hao glanced at Zhen Qian's corpse, then bowed and said, "Taoist Master Taihe, I heard the murderer was someone else, not this special envoy Zhen Qian."
Ren Mi, who was sitting opposite, suddenly had a serious expression. Fang Jian had not told Ren Mi about Cai Zhen, that is, Zhen Qian, who had taken over Ren Mi's body.
Therefore, she was certain in her heart that Yundan's death should be put on herself. From now on, she could only hide in Yujing as Ren Mi, and wait until the time was right to serve Haotian Daozun.
But as soon as Yun Hao said this, he immediately attracted the attention of Ren Mi and Jiang E, and even the five assistants above looked at Yun Hao in surprise.
Taoist Taihe was stunned for a moment, then he asked directly, "Prince Yunhao, who told you that?"
Yun Hao turned his head to glance at Fang Jian and said, "Master Fang Jian."
"Hmm?" Taoist Taihe's eyes flashed, and Taoist Taizhen, Taichong, Taiwei and Taigu also cast their stern eyes on Fang Jian in an instant.
Then Taizhen Daozun asked, "Shaoqing Fang, have you ever said such a thing?"
Fang Jian stood up calmly, then walked to the center of the hall and bowed, saying, "Five ministers, I did say this: the person who killed Young Master Yundan was not Special Envoy Zhen Qian!"
The five assistants' eyes darkened, and then Taihe Daozun stared at Fang Jian and said, "Shaoqing Fang, do you have any evidence? Be responsible for what you say."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Replying to the Taoist Master Taihe, since I dare to say this, I must have evidence, and of course I can be responsible for what I say."
Below, Ren Mi and Jiang E looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Jiang E was a little worried. She didn't know who killed Yun Dan, but she knew that the five ministers wanted to use this incident to make a fuss, so if Fang Jian did this, he would definitely offend the five ministers.
But now Fang Jian had spoken, it was impossible for her to save Fang Jian's situation. She could only wait and see how the situation developed.
"Okay." Taihe Daozun said to Fang Jian, "Since you said you have evidence, then show it to me."
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, my five ministers. The prisoner is being held in the Night Patrol Captain's residence. I will send a letter and order my soldiers to bring him here."
Upon hearing this, the five ministers exchanged glances, and then Taichong Daozun said, "No need. I will order the Court of Justice to go to the Night Patrol Office and escort the prisoner here."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Taoist Taichong, those soldiers in the Night Patrol only recognize my talismans."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Taichong glared and said, "They only recognize your imperial edict? This is outrageous. The Night Patrol House is the Night Patrol House of the Dao Court. Are they trying to rebel?"
Fang Jian said with a smile, "Daoist Master Taichong, please calm down. They are not trying to rebel, they have already rebelled."
"What?!" Daoist Master Taichong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't react for a while. But Daoist Master Taiwei beside him whispered to him, "It's the soldiers from the Huisheng Rebellion."
Daoist Master Taichong suddenly realized what was going on. He glanced at Fang Jian, suppressed his anger, and said calmly, "Well, then, you can pass on the decree."
"Yes." Fang Jian bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and used his magic power to convey an imperial edict and went straight to the Night Patrol Captain's Mansion.
About a cup of tea later, Fa Zhen led ten soldiers and escorted Cai Zhen to the conference table. After the imperial edict was announced, Fa Zhen personally took Cai Zhen into the hall.
As Fa Zhen and Cai Zhen entered the hall, all eyes in the hall instantly focused on Fa Zhen and Cai Zhen.
The moment they saw Cai Zhen, the five ministers were all stunned, and then four of them turned their gazes to Taoist Master Taichong.
Taoist Taichong's face was as gloomy as water, and it was obvious that he had made a mistake.
Especially Cai Zhen. Although there was no scar on his body, his mental state was extremely depressed and haggard. After entering the hall, his whole body was shaking constantly.
"I am Fa Zhen, the night patrol official. I pay my respects to the five ministers, the ministers, and the captain." Fa Zhen bowed his head and did not dare to look directly at the five ministers from beginning to end.
The moment Yun Hao saw Cai Zhen, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Cai Zhen, it really is you!"
When Cai Zhen heard the stern shout and looked up at Yun Hao, he trembled all over and immediately fell to his knees, begging while kowtow, "Prince, spare my life, Prince, spare my life."
Yun Hao asked directly, "Cai Zhen, why did you kill Yun Dan? Who ordered you to do that?"
Cai Zhen was about to answer when Daoist Master Taichong suddenly said, "Cai Zhen, you are the Grand Minister of the Pure Good Dao Kingdom. Why would you kill the prince of your own country? Moreover, the evidence obtained by the Court of Justice shows that it was the special envoy of the Heavenly Court Dao Kingdom who killed Prince Yundan."
Cai Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth and made a "uh" sound, but didn't know what to say.
At this time, Taichong Daozun continued, "Cai Zhen, you can answer truthfully. If you didn't kill him, with the five of us here, no one will dare to force you to confess."
Upon hearing this, Cai Zhen suddenly understood that the five ministers were asking him not to plead guilty.
Cai Zhen quickly realized that the Dao Court was trying to pin the blame on the Dao Kingdom of Heaven... Cai Zhen then thought back to the powerful force that had wiped out Yunshan Stronghold the day he left...
