After saying this, Taibai Jinxing turned to Zhou Tan and his wife and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Jiang, True Monarch Hongqing has already shown mercy. Besides, with your connections in the Heavenly Court, shouldn't it be easy to raise some robbery jade?"
After hearing what Taibai Jinxing said, even though Zhou Tan and his wife were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to "accept the punishment".
Fang Jian finally said, "Zhou Yao will personally be responsible for compensating the monsters. You can go with her, Hei Hai'er. You will accompany her to guard Zhou Yao."
Upon hearing this, Hei Haier immediately bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Afterwards, Zhou Tan and his wife took Zhou Yao to bid farewell to Fang Jian and left Taishi Xiandu, and Heihaier also followed them.
Taibai Jinxing stayed in the Zhengfa Hall. Fang Jian ordered someone to serve spiritual tea, and then sat down with Taibai Jinxing to drink tea and chat.
After Zhou Tan and Jiang Zhen returned to the Haoting Xiaodutian Taoist Temple, they immediately began to sell all the treasures, treasures and even elixirs in the temple.
Because they really don't have many Jieyu, Zhou Tan is the right celestial monarch of Lingxiao Palace. Although his official rank is high, he is only on duty at Lingxiao Palace all year round and basically receives a "fixed salary". Of course, sometimes the Jade Emperor or the Five Imperial Celestial Lords will also reward them, which is their extra income.
But rewards were not given often, especially after Zhou Yao was born, and most of the robbery jades that Zhou Tan had accumulated were quickly spent.
"Dad, Mom, I'm the one who hurt you." Zhou Yao cried as she watched her parents and the maids in the Taoist temple sort out various treasures and precious materials, preparing to take them to Tianhefang to sell them in exchange for the Robbery Jade.
"Alas." Zhou Tan put down the extremely precious sky-blue glazed vase in his hand, turned around and came to Zhou Yao. Without getting angry, he reached out to wipe her tears and comforted her, "Don't cry. Your parents have wanted to sell these things for a long time. When you get out of Lei Ze Prison, our family will have better ones."
Jiang Zhen, who was sorting treasures not far away, started crying again when she thought about her daughter going to Lei Ze Prison to suffer for five hundred years. Zhou Tan hurried to comfort Jiang Zhen, and soon the three of them hugged each other. Jiang Zhen and Zhou Yao burst into tears.
The maids standing by looked at a family that was doing well before, but now the daughter was in jail and the parents had to sell off their property. They stood there at a loss as to what to do.
At this time, Hei Hai, who had a bored face, couldn't help but curled his lips when he saw this scene. I didn't cry when my father was suppressed by Hongqing Zhenjun, and you are crying for such a small thing. You are really useless.
Then Hei Hai walked to the sky-blue glazed vase curiously, reached out to pick up the vase and took a look at it, and then his eyes inadvertently saw a piece of jade next to the vase.
Black Boy put down the vase, picked up the jade silk, unfolded it, and took a look at it. Then he asked Zhou Tan in surprise, "Lord Zhou Tian, are you going to sell this vase too?"
Zhou Tan, who was in deep sorrow, heard this and immediately turned around to take a look at the azure colored glass vase. He then nodded and said, "Yes, this vase should be worth at least 300,000 Jieyu jades."
Hei Haier couldn't help but grin when he heard this, and then said, "I don't think there's any need to sell it. You and your family should pack up and go live in Lei Ze Prison together."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Zhen became angry when she heard this, and asked Hei Haier with her beautiful eyes looking at him unhappily.
However, Zhou Tan seemed to sense something was wrong. He immediately turned around and walked to Hei Hai'er, then picked up the vase and took a closer look. After a moment, Zhou Tan's pupils shrank, his expression froze, and he quickly put down the vase and started looking for something on the side.
"Are you looking for this?" Hei Haier handed the jade in his hand to Zhou Tan and said.
Zhou Tan looked up at the jade and quickly took it. He opened it and took a look at it, sweat pouring down his face. He quickly put the sky blue glass vase and the jade into the treasure box and said, "No, no, I won't sell it. I will never sell this vase even if I die."
"Husband, what's going on?" Jiang Zhen walked over and asked when she heard Zhou Tan's words.
Zhou Tan glanced at Jiang Zhen and said, "This treasure vase was given by the Jade Emperor. If we sell it, our whole family will really have to live in Lei Ze Prison together."
Jiang Zhen was also shocked when she heard this. Not to mention selling the treasure bestowed by the Jade Emperor, losing or breaking it would be a violation of the heavenly rules.
Article 6 of the "Law of Immortal Officials": Any immortals or dragon kings who lose, break, or sell the treasures bestowed by the Great Heavenly Venerable will be sentenced to the Lei Ze Prison or beheaded according to the severity of the punishment.
And according to Fang Jian's personality, if you fall into his hands, don't expect to be sentenced to Lei Ze Prison, the death penalty will be the starting point.
