Madam Zizhu said calmly, "Precisely because Huo Ping is his son, important matters should be left to him."
Hearing this, Hua Yue San Lang and everyone present were silent. After a while, he sighed deeply and said, "Madam, you were right not to marry Shui Xian to Huo Ping."
Madam Zizhu frowned slightly. She had been strongly against this marriage at first, but unfortunately her mother-in-law, Madam Du, and her husband, Hua Yue Sanlang, had both pushed for it, so...
"Why bring this up now?" To avoid embarrassing her mother-in-law, Madam Zizhu said, "I just hope Narcissus isn't involved. Otherwise... with True Lord Hongqing's personality..."
Hearing the words "Hongqing Zhenjun", Huayue Sanlang shuddered.
Madam Du's eyes lit up, and she quickly said to Hua Yue San Lang, "San Lang, could you please ask True Lord Hong Qing to come here and see you?"
"No." As soon as Madam Du finished speaking, Huayue Erlang hurriedly said, "Second Mother, you absolutely cannot go to Hongqing Zhenjun to plead for mercy at this time. Hongqing Zhenjun only abides by the Heavenly Law. Asking him for mercy now will only make the situation worse."
Huayue Erlang was not born to Madam Du. The Emperor of Xiyue had three wives: Madam Wang, Madam Du, and Madam Xiao.
Among them, Huayue Erlang was born to Madam Wang, Huayue Sanlang was born to Madam Du, and San Shengmu was born to Madam Xiao.
After hearing what Hua Yue Erlang said, although Mrs. Du was anxious, she suppressed the idea of taking advantage of Fang Jian.
However, at this moment, a celestial general from Xiyue Mansion quickly entered the waiting room and reported to Madam Du, "Madam, Huo Ping has been captured and brought to the Taiyi Thunder Division Hall for trial."
...
Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
Today is not a small court meeting, so above the dome of the Lingxiao Palace, there are only the Great Emperor Ziwei and Taibai Jinxing, as well as a group of immortal officials and heavenly generals guarding the Lingxiao Palace.
"Your Majesty, the case of the Southern Continent tampering with the decree of the Great Emperor Hou Tu has been tried clearly." Fang Jian bowed to the Great Emperor Ziwei. Because this matter involved the Nanyue Mansion, Fang Jian must report it to the Great Emperor Ziwei.
Upon hearing this, Ziwei Emperor said, "Report this immediately."
So Fang Jian reported the whole process of the case to Ziwei Emperor. The process was very simple. After Nantian Prefecture sent the supplies and imperial decrees to Nanyue Prefecture, Nanyue Prefecture's Shangshu Huo Shanjun wanted to train his son Huo Ping, so he asked him to help distribute talismans and supplies to various divine palaces.
Huo Ping was also a talented person and he actually saw an opportunity to make a fortune here.
So he prepared a lot of blank legal documents in advance and asked Huoshan Jun to stamp them. His reasoning was that it would be most convenient to stamp them in advance and then write the legal documents, and then ask the Emperor Nanyue to stamp them and issue them.
Out of trust in his son, Huo Shanjun actually stamped his own seal on those blank legal documents.
But he never expected that his son was so bold. After getting the document with the Shangshu seal, he directly tampered with the price of the talismans and powders in the decree of Hou Tu Emperor, and added an additional clause of "handing over the robbed jade".
After writing the edict, Huo Ping did not ask the Emperor of Nanyue to stamp it, but sent it out directly, and moved all the supplies outside Nanyue under the pretext of distributing them. Because in the edict, he also divided the talismans and supplies that should have been distributed to the immortal officials and divine palaces in various places at one time into a monthly distribution, which would be collected by those immortal officials with the robbery jade they handed over.
According to the interrogation of Huo Ping, he earned nearly 50 million Jieyu by this method during this period, and 31 million Jieyu were recovered during the interrogation. Huo Ping had spent the remaining 20 million Jieyu and also invested in many industries in the four major streets of Tianhefang.
After listening to Fang Jian's report, Emperor Ziwei remained calm, but his words were stern: "You are the God of Justice, you have full authority to judge and punish."
"Your Majesty, I will obey the order of the law." Fang Jian bowed and said.
After bidding farewell to the Emperor of Purple Star, Fang Jian left the Lingxiao Palace directly.
On the way back to the Ministry of Thunder, Fang Jian met Qing Yan, a close follower of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens.
"Fellow Daoist, are you waiting for me here specifically?" Fang Jian asked Qing Yan in surprise.
The Qingyan boy nodded and said, "The Queen sent me here to wait for the True Lord."
Fang Jian's expression grew serious upon hearing this, and he asked, "What is the decree from the Great Emperor Juntian?"
The Qingyan boy said, "The Queen said: Fang Jian, the laws of Heaven are ruthless, and Heaven's majesty is like a prison. But to enforce the law impartially, you must also know who should be killed and who should not be killed. Kill those who should be killed, and don't kill those who shouldn't be killed. If you don't kill those who should be killed, you are contemptuous of the laws of Heaven. And if you kill those who shouldn't be killed, you are blaspheming the laws of Heaven. You must remember this!"
Fang Jian was slightly startled when he heard this, and then muttered to himself: "Not killing those who should be killed is contempt for the laws of heaven. Killing those who should not be killed is blasphemy against the laws of heaven..."
At this moment, Taibai Jinxing also flew out from the Lingxiao Palace, landed in front of Fang Jian and said, "True Lord Hongqing, the Great Emperor Ziwei and the Great Emperor Houtu also have a decree for me to convey to you."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately stood up straight and looked at Taibai Jinxing.
Taibai Jinxing said, "The Great Emperor Ziwei and the Great Emperor Houtu say: Fang Jian, the earnest words of the Great Emperor Juntian are truly words of great virtue, and you should carefully understand them."
Hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. The three great emperors were deliberately "teaching and cultivating" him.
The Emperor of Ziwei did not say this in the Lingxiao Palace because he had to take into account his identity as the God of Justice and did not want him to feel that the Emperor of Ziwei was deliberately suppressing or interfering with him.
Therefore, it is best for Jiu Tian Xuan Nu to say this to Fang Jian first, because it is absolutely impossible for Fang Jian to have negative emotions towards Jiu Tian Xuan Nu just because of one sentence.
