Chapter 324: Unexpected complications Sure enough, there may be purely good people in this world, and there may be great saints whose hearts and actions are as clear as a mirror, but they will never appear in heaven. Not to mention he is not a great god of the third rank. Especially, under the premise that this great god is not worthy of his position. Chi Zha can almost be considered as Lao Li’s illegitimate son. Although it is not the case after it is explained clearly, but then again, no one cares whether he is an illegitimate child or not. The important thing is that what this evil beast did really violated taboos. First, he raped and killed women, which was a sign of his own lack of moral character, and even more so, it was a sin caused by his own indulgence in lust. Later, he even rebelled on earth, attempting to dethrone the emperor appointed by Ziwei. This one item alone is enough to make all the gods and cultivators in the Arctic series remember the Li family. This is like a slap in the face of the Arctic family. Regardless of anything else, the fact that Chi Zha is Li Jing's bloodline is enough.
What’s the matter? King Li, do you have any doubts about the choice of our Beiji Patriarch? Or, in your eyes, King Li, the emperor chosen by my master the emperor is not orthodox, and someone from your Li family must sit on the throne? According to Nezha, this matter was not what Lao Li wanted to do openly. Lao Li's original plan was to hand the matter over to Yang Jian, who would then send it to the Judicial Hall to investigate. Although Chi Zha is definitely guilty, his identity is destined to make human laws not apply to him. Ultimately, it is the Palace of Justice that will determine the specific punishment. This gave Lao Li room to maneuver. After all, the Hall of Justice was in charge of all illegal activities of the gods and immortals in Heaven and even the Three Realms. With more people in charge, the laws followed by the Hall of Justice were bound to have room for negotiation. It is not like the black law next door, which is written in black and white on every item and leaves no room for ambiguity. What's even better is that this way, the Palace of Justice will be in charge of this matter and will not offend the Arctic faction. With the judgment of the Palace of Justice, the Arctic faction could not say anything wrong. By that time the matter will have passed and the punishment will have been determined. Don't worry about whether it is light or heavy, because the matter is over. Originally, there would be no problem with Lao Li's plan. Yang Jian was so busy every day that he couldn't possibly spend any more time on such things. If he really follows Lao Li's plan, he might be able to save Chi Zha in the end. But to achieve this, two prerequisites are needed. First, Lao Li was able to mediate for Chi Zha in the Hall of Justice before the Beiji faction knew about it. Second, we must have the case filed in the Palace of Justice as soon as possible and make a solid case. For these two reasons, Lao Li acted like he was willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice, just to push the case forward as quickly as possible. But now, the attempt to steal a chicken ended up with a loss of the rice. First, the Hall of Justice now has an additional procedure, which is the Deacon's Office. Second, the current head of the Deacons' Department is from the Arctic lineage, and is the most direct descendant of the Arctic lineage. At this point, don't even think there's any room for mediation.
It can be said that, both publicly and privately, Lao Li is at a loss. Originally, Old Li hoped that under his righteousness, Jiang Lin would more or less raise his hand. But now... "Xuanying, do you understand?" Nezha patted Jiang Lin's shoulder with a smile, looking like an elder helping the younger one to answer questions. Jiang Lin raised his head, glanced at Li Jing who was silent beside him, stood up, raised his hand to salute Nezha, and said, "Disciple understands." These words, coupled with this attitude, have already made Jiang Lin's opinion clear. Jiang Lin chose to stand on Nezha's side. In other words, we chose to do things impartially. Of course, this was also Jiang Lin’s original idea. From the very beginning, he had never thought of giving Lao Li the space to abuse his power for personal gain. If someone breaks the law, no matter who it is, he or she will be sentenced accordingly. "May I ask Heavenly King, where is the suspect Li Chizha now?" After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he looked at Li Jing with an extremely calm expression, which was filled with the meaning of "official business". "He is still alive, imprisoned by a lieutenant sent by this general." Li Jing's tone also became indifferent, and he didn't even say a word to Jiang Lin. Because he knew very well that from the moment Jiang Lin became the director of the Judicial Hall's Deacon Department, his son would most likely not end up well. Now it is just Nezha who makes up the remaining 20%, which was already uncertain. "In that case, please issue a letter of thanks to the king. Leave the rest to me." Jiang Lin bowed to Li Jing and called him "your humble official" all the time, and his attitude was very fair. But it was this kind of justice that made Li Jing's heart sink. But no matter what, Li Jing has no good solution now. If the Great Celestial Lord were still alive, he would still sacrifice his old face and beg the Great Celestial Lord for at least some mercy. But now the person in charge of the Heavenly Court is Yang Jian. Even if Li Jing says a hundred words in front of Yang Jian, they are not as good as Nezha who calls him "Second Brother". Apart from Yang Jian, among the Four Emperors, only the Emperor of Ziwei can take charge. But the problem is that this time his youngest son offended Emperor Ziwei, although the emperor himself would definitely not care about this offense. But there is a saying that goes, "If the lord humiliates the minister, he will die." Coincidentally, Jiang Lin is a serious official of Ziwei. As for the other one of the Four Imperial Emperors, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, if he could really say a word, even Emperor Ziwei would have to give him face.
But does Li Jing have the nerve to beg others for help? It's a dead end. "Ah." Faced with Jiang Lin's request, Li Jing could only nod, stand up and walk to the desk, pick up a pen and write a document. "Excuse me, Heavenly King. I am done with this matter. I will take my leave. If there is any result, I will report it as soon as possible." After taking the document, Jiang Lin bowed again, nodded to Nezha, and left Li Tianwang Palace with Tan Qingzheng. At this moment, in the main hall of Li Tianwang's palace, only Li Jing and Nezha, the nominal father and son, were left. There was no conversation between the father and son, and they didn't even look at each other. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Jing raised the pagoda in his hand towards Nezha. It was right between him and Nezha. "There's nothing to do here, you can go." Finally, Li Jing broke the silence and spoke to Nezha, but did not even look at him. Nezha turned a deaf ear to him, just sat lazily on the chair, looking at Li Jing with a smile. "Father, I wonder if you have any other options at this moment. As long as the law is involved, Jiang Xuanying is like a stone in a toilet. There is no room for negotiation." It seemed that the son was worried about his father, but the ridicule and sarcasm in his tone was so strong that it was almost visible to the naked eye. Anyone who was not deaf could hear it. Li Jing did not say anything, nor did he look at Nezha. He stood up and slowly left the main hall. If you don't leave, I will leave. Li Jing had nothing to say to Nezha, because he knew very well that if Nezha really talked to him seriously, there would only be one situation, that is, he would listen to his last words. As for other times, don't expect to hear a good word from Nezha. Of course, if there were outsiders present, Nezha would not mind giving Li Jing some face, not for Li Jing, but for Nezha's mother. Because his mother is also a member of the Li family, what Nezha needs to protect is the Li family's face, not Li Jing's face. Nezha watched Li Jing leave, looking at his back, his palms opening and closing slowly, as if eager to try. But in the end I let it go. "Hahahahahaha!" When Li Jing heard Nezha's hearty laughter coming from the main hall, his expression couldn't help but become gloomy. This evil son. ………… the other side.
After receiving Li Jing's written order, Jiang Lin selected a hundred Xiezhi soldiers and took Tan Qingzheng with him to head straight for the Zhou Kingdom in the southern continent of the mortal world. "Sir, will we just do business from now on?" While Tan Qing was waiting for the guiding divine light to take shape, he took the time to ask Jiang Lin a question. This is also very interesting. Tan Qingzheng is not stupid enough to think that Jiang Lin will consider Li Jing's face and let him off. He is actually asking whether to give Chi Zha "extra time". The Heavenly Law followed by the Palace of Justice has room for manipulation because it manages so many people. It can give lenient sentences, but it can also give severe ones. Tan Qingzheng meant the latter. Jiang Lin didn't know much about the laws of heaven, but as an old man in the Hall of Justice, he knew them by heart, and it was like a piece of cake for him to find a few more charges. "No need." Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said calmly: "The crimes we have now are enough to make Chi Zha go through life on the Immortal Execution Platform." Rebelling against the legitimate emperor, especially as a descendant of a god, is a crime even more serious than breaking the law knowingly. In addition, as the son of an immortal god, it is also a serious crime to wantonly insult mortals. There is absolutely no need for Jiang Lin to seek personal gain, Chi Zha will definitely die. "What I mean is..." Tan Qingzheng glanced in the direction of Li Tianwang Palace. "Don't do unnecessary things." Jiang Lin shook his head again, his eyes fell calmly on Tan Qingzheng, and he said softly: "I know that you are thinking for me. From this point of view, you are doing a very good job as an assistant officer." "I shouldn't have taken advantage of you and acted like a good kid, but..." Jiang Lin looked at Tan Qingzheng and asked, "Those of you who have been working in the Judicial Hall for many years, have you become accustomed to mixing other considerations into the Heavenly Law?" Tan Qing was stunned by the question, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Sir, this is a customary practice..." Is it a routine? Jiang Lin nodded and didn't say anything more. There is no doubt that the vast majority of the immortals and gods working in the Hall of Justice are qualified, and generally speaking, there are no mistakes or omissions. But as I said before, the Hall of Justice is also one of the official offices in Heaven. If you have the word "official" in your name, don't think about staying out of officialdom. Heavenly Law is different from Black Law. Black Law is very independent. It is the private domain of Black Law Masters and is also aimed at evil spirits. But the laws of nature are different. They involve too many things and are too broad, so they are inevitably related to other things. Wanting to make the Heavenly Law as independent and strict as the Black Law is a perfect thing for law enforcers like Jiang Lin. But if this is true, it may not be good news for the stability of the Three Realms. Although he knew this, Jiang Lin still felt a little annoyed.
What he hates most is all kinds of fights, but as long as there are people, fights are inevitable. The same is true in heaven, immortals are also human beings. Shaking his head and deciding not to think about it for the time being, Jiang Lin walked into the guiding divine light. Not long after, along with the guiding divine light falling on the human world, Jiang Lin and his party also arrived at the Jizhou territory of the Zhou Kingdom. It was here that Chi Zha, under the pretext of upholding justice, gathered a group of so-called righteous men and began his massive rebellion. Although Chi Zha was born with congenital defects and was a descendant of a god, he could not even withstand the pure and blessed immortal energy of heaven. But in the human world, especially among mortals, it is an absolute dimensionality reduction attack. Even if he occasionally encountered a practitioner offering sacrifices to him in the rebellion-suppressing army, ordinary practitioners were no match for Chi Zha. And those great cultivators in the world who are truly capable of practicing Taoism will not easily choose to serve the emperor of the world. As for the Zhou Kingdom’s offerings. The current emperor will definitely not use the offerings that were made in loyalty to the previous emperor. After a batch of them were purged, there is now a lack of successors. Therefore, due to various reasons, the war started by Chi Zha even affected half of Jizhou. Bandits pass by like a comb, soldiers pass by like a sieve, and military disasters are more terrifying than bandits. Especially those so-called rebels under Chi Zha were not good people at all. The consequences are self-evident. Heaven does not care about wars and killings in the human world. This is a theorem. The war in half of Jizhou might be a big deal in the Zhou Kingdom on earth, but in the context of the four continents, it is just a bubble on the ocean. In addition, Li Jing deliberately suppressed the news, so Jiang Lin really didn't know about it in advance. The guiding divine light fell on an unnamed barren mountain. This barren mountain was the place where Li Jing detained Chi Zha. The arrival of Jiang Lin and others was not concealed at all, which naturally attracted the attention of Li Jing, a general stationed here. The general came out and was stunned for a moment after seeing Jiang Lin. "May I ask your Excellency?" As a general of Li Tianwang, he naturally knew the standard armor of the Xiezhi Army of the Hall of Justice, but he did not know the leader Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin didn't say anything, but took out Li Jing's written order. Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't say anything, the lieutenant general didn't dare to ask more questions. He just took the warrant and began to check. After a moment, the general turned sideways with an inexplicable look on his face, raised his hand, and said, "Shangguan, please." Jiang Lin glanced at the general and followed him into a cave dug out from the barren mountain. Inside the cave, there is an iron cage, and a burly figure is squatting in the cage.
The iron cage was not big, and the man was too big, so even when he was squatting, the space was a little tight. Seeing the lieutenant coming in, the burly figure began to roar: "Let me out! You are my father's men, how dare you do this to me!" "Even if I was wrong, I shouldn't be humiliated by you like this!" "Also! Where are all my men being held captive by you?!" The lieutenant general was about to speak when he was interrupted by Jiang Lin: "There is nothing for you to do here, go back and report." The lieutenant general opened his mouth to speak, but was caught in the gaze of the captain of the Xiezhi army, so he could only lower his head and leave in silence. Jiang Lin didn't even look at the general from beginning to end, and now his eyes fell on Chi Zha. This was a very burly young man, with a muscular body and a face full of fat, giving him a ferocious look. This person was Chi Zha, Nezha’s half-brother and Li Jing’s youngest son. Chi Zha also noticed Jiang Lin, and stared at Jiang Lin with a pair of eyes that were naturally a little blood red. "You were sent by the heavens to judge me?" Chi Zha asked, and without waiting for Jiang Lin to answer, he said, "Release me and take me to see my father in heaven. If I do these things, my father will not treat me badly..." There was a sense of entitlement and arrogance in his tone. 'Snapped! ' But before he could finish his words, an extremely obvious slap mark appeared on Chi Zha's face, and the skin on his face was even torn. Tan Qingzheng slowly retracted his hand and said calmly: "You insulted the steward of the Judicial Hall and you should be punished." "Take him and go back." Jiang Lin glanced at Chi Zha and was too lazy to say anything more. Naturally, the soldiers of the Xiezhi Army came out from behind him, dragging the iron cage and following Jiang Lin out of the cave. However, Jiang Lin did not directly summon the guiding divine light. Instead, he stood quietly at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the sky. There, a sturdy man wearing a short monk's robe and carrying a stick as high as his eyebrows on his back appeared. The man was dressed as a monk, floating in the air, looking down at Jiang Lin. "Amitabha, I, Mu Zha, follow the command of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of the South Sea and come to guide those who are predestined to be with the Buddha." "Sir, please stay Chi Zha." "As for the rest, the Great Master will discuss it with the Young Lord of Heaven." A Buddhist monk, no, Mu Zha said in a calm tone. Jiang Lin did not answer, but just looked at Mu Zha quietly.
Mu Zha, the second son of the Li family, is a disciple and protector of Avalokitesvara. For a moment, Jiang Lin didn't speak, Mu Zha didn't speak either, and the scene seemed to be silent. However, the next moment, Jiang Lin spoke. "Fuck you." "Has your brain been clogged with the feces of the black bear on Luojia Mountain? When will Guanyin be able to take charge of the affairs of the Hall of Justice?" (End of this chapter)
