Green smoke curled up, half covering Fang Jian's face. Amid the cries of the people in Jingshan Dao Country, Fang Jian's face and expression became more and more mysterious in Yi Zhen's eyes.
When Fang Jian inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner, bowed to the coffin of Prince Yunhao and retreated, Yi Zhen walked up and stood directly beside Fang Jian.
"In the Duqing Valley, there is a girl wearing red clothes and a golden bell on her head." Yi Zhen stood beside Fang Jian and said, "Have you seen her?"
Fang Jian asked calmly, "How old are you?"
Yi Zhen said, "Less than seven years old."
Fang Jian said: "No."
Yi Zhen's expression softened slightly, but he continued, "If I can't find her, I will never let you go. The hatred of killing my wife and daughter is irreconcilable."
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will help your family reunite in an orderly manner."
"Hmm?" Yi Zhen was stunned again, then he understood the meaning of Fang Jian's words. He was not angry, but said indifferently: "Then we'll see."
...
The meeting platform, Hongfan Hall.
Yao Hong sat there with a grim face, head down, enduring everyone's accusations.
I have to say that Yao Shuo is really good at courting death. The actions of him and Fang Yue directly touched the bottom line of the nobles in the Da Dao Court.
"That's where the body of a country's prince is laid to rest!"
"Yao Hongdaozun, as the head of the Yao clan, you actually allowed your own people to do such beastly things in Yujing City. You must bear the primary responsibility!"
"Can't we do that kind of thing somewhere else? Why do we have to do it in the palace of the Jingshan Dao State in the Zongfanyuan?! How is this behavior any different from urinating on the head of the Jingshan Dao State?"
“That’s too much!”
Facing the accusations from the Taoist masters in Hongfan Hall, Yao Hong said nothing and let them criticize him, because he knew that the more he explained and argued at this time, the more counterproductive it would be.
Even Taiyin Daozun, who was there to greet the coffin of Prince Yunhao, could not accept this at all. She was usually indifferent and taciturn, but now she addressed the five ministers, "Five ministers, Yao Shu and Fang Yue must be dealt with, otherwise the prestige of our Dao Court will plummet."
In addition to Taizhen Daozun, Taihe Daozun and Taiwei Daozun, the five assistants, Taigu Daozun and Taichong Daozun also had angry expressions.
The Daoist Master Taigu said to Yao Hong, "Daoist Master Yao Hong, don't you think you have enough to do right now? You brought Yao Shu out of the Night Patrol House and should have let him behave himself. Why did you let him go to the Imperial Clan Court to cause trouble?!"
Taoist Taichong also said, "Taoist Yao Hong, where is Yao Shu now?"
Daoist Master Yao Hong finally raised his head and said, "Daoist Master Taichong, Yao Shu and Fang Yue have escaped back to Tianzhao Immortal Palace."
"Catch him." The Grand Secretary's Assistant, the Grand Ancient Daoist Master, said directly, "Grand Emperor Daoist Master."
The Grand Emperor Daozun, who presided over the Court Law Department, immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is here."
The Grand Daoist Master Tai Gu said to the Grand Daoist Master Tai Huang, "You must immediately take the decree from the Council and personally lead your men to the Tianzhao Immortal Palace to apprehend Yao Shu and Fang Yue. Send them to the prison of the Ministry of Justice for imprisonment. There must be no delay."
The Grand Emperor Dao Zun took the decree and immediately bowed, saying, "I will obey your orders."
When the fifteen junior ministers of the Jingshan Dao State, seated at the bottom, saw the five ministers issuing an imperial decree to apprehend Yao Shu and Fang Yue, they immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "We, your servants, boldly request that the five ministers issue an imperial decree to execute the two thieves, Yao Shu and Fang Yue, to appease the spirit of Crown Prince Yun Hao in heaven."
But Yao Hong now scolded the fifteen people, "The five ministers and the Daozun and Shangqing are discussing matters, and you are here to listen in. How dare you speak without permission?"
The leading Shaoqing directly retorted: "I am pleading for the country, so I dare not hesitate to speak!"
Yao Hong was furious and waved his hand, saying, "Where are the warriors? Have the law enforcers kick out those who are disrupting the meeting!"
Hearing the cry of "blast out," the fifteen junior officials showed no fear. Instead, they immediately took a step forward with their heads held high, and once again respectfully requested in unison, "Please, the five ministers, issue an imperial decree to execute the two thieves, Yao Shu and Fang Yue!"
The Great Daoist Master Taikoo said, "Please sit down. The Council will discuss the matter of how to deal with Yao Shu and Fang Yue."
After saying this, the Taoist Priest Taikoo turned to Yao Hong and said, "Taoist Priest Yao Hong, from now on, you are prohibited from participating in discussions on Yao Shu's affairs at the meeting table. You can just listen in and avoid suspicion."
Hearing the words of the Great Ancient Daoist Master, Daoist Master Yao Hong wanted to argue, but he quickly noticed the gazes of the Daoists and High Lords around him who were not members of the Yao clan. He immediately withdrew his words and simply bowed and said, "Yes."
