Fang Jian nodded. These were considered leaders of the direct departments taking their subordinates who had made mistakes back to be punished. Although they had used their merits to atone for their sins and avoided the punishment of the heavenly rules, they could not escape the reprimand and punishment from their superiors.
At this time, Fang Jian looked at the third Taoist who looked like an immortal and asked, "Who is this?"
The Taoist hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I am Huang Shigong, the Central Heavenly General of Mount Tai Prefecture in Dongyue. I am hereby ordered by the Great Emperor Tianqi Rensheng to lead Heavenly General Lian Cong back to face punishment."
Fang Jian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "So it's Mr. Huang Shi. My apologies."
"No, no, True Lord Hongqing abides by the laws of heaven and upholds the rules of heaven. I admire him very much." Huang Shigong said with a smile.
Fang Jian said with a smile, "Mr. Huang Shi is too kind. Upholding the laws of heaven is everyone's responsibility. I am merely fulfilling my duties as a god of justice."
Afterwards, the three of them prepared to lead the people back, but at this time something unexpected happened. Wan Sheng, the judge of the Second Recording Department of the Tianshu Bureau, collapsed and went crazy!
A Taiyi Xuanxian, actually went crazy? No one would believe it if I told them.
But this kind of thing really happened. The reason was that Wansheng first lost his beloved son today, and then his wife was imprisoned in Lei Ze Prison. But the last straw that broke the camel's back was Fang Jian's last words, which directly scared him and broke his last psychological defense line, and then his Taoist heart collapsed and he went crazy.
However, Wansheng is a second-rank immortal official in the Heavenly Court after all. The Wulin Si Ming Youde Zhenren of the Tianshu Bureau reported to the Tianshu Province, requesting that Wansheng be sent to Baicaoyuan for treatment and recuperation.
Then the Tianshu Province approved the request, and the crazy Wansheng was sent to Baicaoyuan for treatment. His official rank remained the second rank, but his duties had to be replaced by someone else.
...
After a busy day, Zhou Tan finally returned to his own Taoist temple residence. As an eighth-level super god in the heavenly court, his Taoist temple was located in the twenty-eighth heaven, Haoting Xiaodutian, and the name of the Taoist temple was "Mingting Mansion".
As soon as he returned to the mansion, his wife Jiang Zhen came to greet him with two female fairies from the True Fairyland, "Husband, you are back?"
"Yes." Zhou Tan said, "During the next seven days, Fellow Daoist Zhen will be on duty at the Lingxiao Palace."
Then Zhou Tan asked his wife Jiang Zhen, "Where's Yao'er?"
Jiang Zhen laughed when she heard this and said, "I don't know where that girl has gone crazy again. She's been nowhere to be found all day. It's time for you to take care of her."
If it were in the past, after Jiang Zhen said this, Zhou Tan would definitely say, "Children, it's okay to be a little naughty, play however you want, don't bother me."
But now, after witnessing with his own eyes Fang Jian executing Gu Jin and the other five men, and Wansheng being frightened to death by Fang Jian, he could no longer say such words.
"Well, you are right. We should take care of it." Zhou Tan nodded.
Jiang Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, and then asked Zhou Tan, "Huh? Normally, you love her so much that you can't bear to let me even say a few words to her. Why have you changed your temper now?"
Zhou Tan sighed slightly when he heard this, and first took off the divine robe and armor on his body. Jiang Zhen then helped him hang up the divine robe and armor, and then the two of them came to the Eight Immortals Table in the flower hall in the back mansion and sat down.
The fairy at the side immediately offered spiritual tea and immortal fruit. Zhou Tan took a sip of the spiritual tea and then asked Jiang Zhen, "Do you know these five people, Gu Jin, Wan Tan, Lian Xia, Jiang Jing, and Wang Wei?"
After hearing Zhou Tan's words, Jiang Zhen said, "I do know Gu Jin, Wan Tan, Jiang Jing, and Wang Wei, and I've even met them before. As for Lian Xia, I don't know him."
Just as Jiang Zhen finished speaking, a clear and ethereal voice came from outside the hall: "Dad, you're back? Mom, what are you talking about? What happened to Gu Jin and the others?"
As they were talking, a lively, bright and beautiful girl in a green Yao skirt and fairy clothes came into the flower hall, skipping and jumping. Then she went straight to the Eight Immortals table and sat down. She reached out and picked up a two thousand year old 'Qing Yan Fruit' and took a bite.
Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Yao with a smile and said, "Look at you, eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it."
Zhou Yao chuckled, then asked Jiang Zhen, "Mom, you just mentioned Gu Jin and the others. What happened to them?"
Jiang Zhen's gaze fell on Zhou Tan and said, "You'll have to ask your father about that."
Zhou Yao turned her gaze towards Zhou Tan after hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Tan asked, "Yao'er, are you familiar with Gu Jin and the others?"
Zhou Yao smiled and said, "It's okay, we are quite familiar with each other."
Zhou Tan's brows knitted together, and then he asked Zhou Yao with a worried look on his face: "Yao'er, tell Dad the truth, you haven't done anything with them, right?"
"Work?" Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment and said, "All they do all day is ride horses, eat, drink and have fun. What can they do? Besides, I'm just familiar with them, and we haven't done anything together."
Zhou Tan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At this moment, Zhou Yao seemed to realize something and hurriedly asked Zhou Tan, "Dad, what happened to Gu Jin and the others?"
Even Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Tan with concern. Zhou Tan looked at the mother and daughter before him, then said, "Gu Jin, Wan Tan, Lian Xia, Jiang Jing, and Wang Wei were executed."
"What?!" Jiang Zhen was stunned when she heard that, and Zhou Yao was even more shocked. The Qingyan Fruit in her hand fell to the ground with a "click" sound.
The sound of the Qingyan Fruit falling to the ground immediately alarmed Zhou Tan and Jiang Zhen, and they hurriedly looked towards Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao suddenly woke up, and then hurriedly asked Zhou Tan: "Dad, is what you said true?"
Zhou Tan said, "Could Dad lie about something like this? Dad saw it with his own eyes. Gu Jin and the other four were destroyed by lightning and fire, and their souls were then cast into the eighteenth level of the underworld to suffer eternal purgatory. Alas, their parents were also implicated. Fellow Daoists Li Da, Han Xuan, Lu Lan, Yu Jiu, and Li Xian were guilty of harboring the perpetrators and did not have enough merit to atone for their sins. In the end, they were sentenced to ten thousand years in the Lei Ze Prison. As for Fellow Daoists Gu Yuanwu, Wan Sheng, Lian Cong, Jiang Shi, and Wang Chou, although they have atoneed for their sins with merit, I think they are not feeling well either. Fellow Daoist Wan Sheng is the most pitiful. He suffered a great blow and was so frightened that his Daoist heart collapsed and he went mad."
