Two thunder soldiers immediately stepped forward and untied Lu Tao's ropes. Fang Jian then live-broadcasted Lu Tao's memories of Peng Ziqing from the jade slip and said, "Come and see."
When this memory was released by Fang Jian, Zhiyu Zhenren was the most concerned. After all, what normal woman would want her husband to be a "wife-killer"?
But after Master Zhiyu finished reading it, she had another idea, that is, she would rather her husband was a wife-killer.
Why is this so? This all starts with Lu Tao's memory. To make a long story short, let me describe this memory in simple words: one day Lu Tao and his wife Peng Ziqing went out for an outing and encountered a real demon from the outside world.
Then the young couple fought with the external demon, but in the end they were defeated. The external demon was so ferocious and powerful that the young couple was quickly beaten back.
Peng Ziqing fought desperately and resisted with all his might, but Lu Tao could not suppress the fear in his heart when facing this ferocious heretic demon.
So in order to survive, he completely ignored his wife who was still fighting against the external demon, and took advantage of the opportunity when his wife was desperately resisting, and directly used the magic talisman given to him by Xuanming, and returned to the North Sea Divine Palace alone.
You could say he escaped, but he hid in his palace and cried for a whole incense stick of time.
Let him cry, but after crying, he didn't go to his father Xuan Ming to save people, but instead hid the matter.
At first, he even hid the secret from Xuan Ming and Jiang Yinghuan, and just said that Peng Ziqing was in seclusion. Later, when he could no longer hide it, he said that Peng Ziqing was missing. It was too late at this time. Xuan Ming mobilized the gods and sailors of the Divine Mansion and even mobilized the power of the North Sea Dragon Palace to look for her. How could he possibly find her?
It was very simple for Lu Tao to conceal this matter because he had a guilty conscience. He abandoned his wife and fled for his life, then hid in the palace crying. If he told anyone about it, the Beihai Divine Palace really couldn't afford to lose face.
Until recently, when Peng Ziqing's golden body was discovered, Xuan Ming immediately called Lu Tao in for questioning. At this time, Lu Tao could no longer hide it and told his parents the truth about what happened that year.
"shameful!"
After reading Lu Tao's memory, Master Zhiyu stood up angrily and cursed at Lu Tao, his eyes full of disappointment. Then he covered his face and ran out of Qingshu Hall.
Xuan Ming and Jiang Yinghuan's faces were also livid. Xuan Ming said with a look of dismay, "Even if you had stopped crying and came back to me to save people, it would still be in time!"
Fang Jian put away the jade slip. Apart from sighing in his heart that Peng Ziqing had entrusted her with the wrong person, he could only admit one fact: Peng Ziqing's death was related to Lu Tao. However, Lu Tao would at most accept moral condemnation, and as for the law of heaven... it was a minor offense.
"Lu Tao, Peng Ziqing was a real person appointed by the Heavenly Court. She was a moral immortal who held the position of Heavenly Court. Although her death was not your fault, you did not report the evil deeds afterwards, and concealed the death of a moral immortal who held the position of Heavenly Court. Moreover, you concealed the news for more than a thousand years. As the God of Justice, I must punish you for the crime of 'knowing the evil deeds but not reporting them, and concealing the evil deeds'." Fang Jian said in a clear voice.
Hearing Fang Jian's words, Lu Tao suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Xuan Ming, standing nearby, stood up and bowed to Fang Jian, saying, "True Lord Hongqing, I have no intention of shielding this rebellious son. My wife and I are braving the public's criticism to hold the wedding ceremony because we want him to marry True Lord Chiying and give the child a legitimate status. After the wedding, we will send this rebellious son to the Ministry of Thunder for justice."
Fang Jian said, "But now it seems that it is better not to give this title. Besides, I don't think Master Chiying wants this title anymore."
Xuan Ming nodded and said, "It seems so. If we give her a status now, she will only be laughed at by others."
But just as Xuan Ming finished speaking, he saw Master Chi Yu returning to the main hall. "Why shouldn't I have this status?" Master Chi Yu's eyes reddened. "He and I have been Daoist companions for nearly a thousand years. We've done everything we should and shouldn't have done, and we even have a son. If I didn't have this status, wouldn't I be even more of a laughing stock?"
After saying this, Zhiyu Zhenren walked up to Lu Tao and said, "I hated his cowardice and weakness back then, but I also love him now."
"Madam, I'm sorry." Lu Tao cried bitterly and said to Master Zhiyu.
'Snap'
Master Chiying slapped Lu Tao in the face, then burst into tears and said sternly, "You're not sorry for me, but for Fellow Daoist Peng Ziqing! After we get married, you can go to Lei Ze Prison to atone for your sins!"
