Mo Danxin is currently the governor of Dayan County.
He is a fair person and handles things impartially, and is nicknamed Mo Qingtian.
He remained unmoved by the overtures and bribes from local forces and rejected them sternly.
He treats mortals and cultivators equally and does not give cultivators special treatment.
Moreover, he is the person with the highest cultivation level in Dayan County, at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. With the blessing of the country's destiny, no one can threaten his safety.
He also vigorously developed the tourism industry and developed the unique food culture of Dayan County, so that more and more people came to Dayan County to consume and promote local economic development.
Under his governance, Dayan County was thriving.
However, he recently encountered two unexpected things that he felt were beyond his ability.
The first thing was that the imperial court sent troops to station in the abandoned mountain. It was said that they had discovered the stronghold of the evil cult. It was not known whether it was related to the destroyed Immortal Cult or the other three evil cults.
The commander of the army is General Lu, who has reached the fusion stage and has a very high prestige in the army. With this old general stationed there, he, a mere county magistrate, doesn't have to worry anymore.
The second thing is that there is a heavyweight figure locked up in the cell, whose status is second only to His Majesty. He is the leader of one of the five great immortal sects, the strongest person below the tribulation period, the strongest swordsman in the world, and the silent Taoist who has enemies all over the world.
Fortunately, this man was honest and accepted the prison sentence without any resistance.
If he really resisted, Mo Danxin would not be able to control the silent Taoist.
From a legal perspective, he has jurisdiction, and the matter of not speaking is not a big deal, so just detain him for a few days.
But Mo Danxin always felt that Taoist Buyu’s status was too high, and the matter of how he was dealt with should be reported to the imperial court.
Moreover, Mo Danxin was facing another problem—the Taoist Buyu was imprisoned, but he was still telling stories in prison, and many people came to him because of his reputation.
For example, if someone stole a few taels of silver, according to the law, he should be imprisoned for five days.
My family members brought me meals, the cell was warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and there was a storyteller in the next room who was in the fusion stage. These five days were so comfortable.
I don’t know who spread this experience, but many people followed suit, and now the prison is unable to accommodate all the prisoners.
Those who don’t know would think Dayan County is a cruel and evil place, and the prison is overcrowded.
If this becomes a rumor and reaches His Majesty's ears, all his achievements will be tarnished and he won't be able to explain himself.
Who would believe that your prison is overcrowded just to listen to storytelling
Fortunately, after the imperial court learned about this matter, it took it very seriously. The Minister of Justice flew to Dayan County in person to deal with the case of Buyu Taoist.
"Sir, the Minister of Justice is almost here." The subordinate reminded in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Mo Danxin hurriedly took off his casual clothes, changed into official clothes, and went out to greet him.
When Mo Danxin was going out, the Minister of Justice happened to appear out of nowhere, without even his attendants. It was obvious how anxious he was to make this trip.
The Minister of Justice Xu Xin was tall and mighty, with an angular face. His brocade clothes showed his noble status. He had a penetrating understanding of the law and was deeply trusted by Emperor Xia.
"Master Xu, regarding the matter concerning the leader of the Dao Sect..."
The Minister of Justice waved his hand and said, "I know everything that happened. I agree to sentence the old thief Buyu to death!"
"Ah? But the leader of the Daoist sect is..."
"Death penalty!" the Minister of Justice said in a decisive tone.
Seeing the attitude of the Minister of Justice, Mo Danxin suddenly remembered a rumor—it was said that anyone who threw a stone at the officials in the Imperial City was the enemy of Buyu Taoist.
There is also a poem that says: Who in the world doesn't know you
I'm talking about the silent Taoist.
"Come on, let's go and see that old thief Buyu!" The Minister of Justice pulled Mo Danxin and rushed to the prison.
He heard that Taoist Buyu was imprisoned in Dayan County, so he canceled his dinner plans with his colleagues and rushed over to watch the fun.
The prison was filled with noise, as if there were some extremely vicious prisoners there, causing trouble.
If you listen carefully, you will find that someone is telling a story in the prison.
"That day, Qin Jiunian, the Grand Elder of the Dao Sect, and I were traveling in the Central Continent. We used our Sky Eyes to discover a tomb filled with corpse qi. I calculated with my fingers and realized that a zombie of the Corpse King level must have been born there!"
"Originally, the two of us wanted to go to the sect to seek help and surround the Corpse King, but the Corpse King discovered the two of us and tried to escape underground!"
“It happened so fast that I took the initiative to attack. With a move of Heavenly Fairy, I broke through the heavy seals and the thick soil of the tomb, blocking the Corpse King’s retreat. Upon seeing this, the Corpse King led a huge group of zombies to attack Qin Jiunian and me!”
"Who are Qin Jiunian and I? We are the leader of the Dao Sect and the great elder of the Dao Sect. Do you think a mere corpse king can defeat us?"
"The Corpse King reveals his true form as the drought demon. The land is barren for thousands of miles. The ground is dry and connected to the underground fire. The sky and the ground have turned into a sea of fire!"
"When I struck my sword, the wind and clouds moved, and the sky and earth darkened. Qin Jiunian used the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, and one of his fingers was as thick as a mountain."
The prisoners in the jail stared at the silent Taoist priest intently and held their breath, fearing that they would disturb him.
The silent Taoist spoke in an ups and downs, recreating the non-existent things in front of everyone. Everyone was immersed in the scene, as if they were watching the battle from the sidelines.
The Minister of Justice had a strange expression on his face. If he remembered correctly, the old thief Bu Yu and Elder Qin went to build a tomb that time, but they accidentally dug up a real tomb and were mistaken for tomb robbers.
Where is the corpse king Hanba
After not seeing you for a few years, the silent old thief’s ability to make up lies is getting better and better!
The Minister of Justice gnashed his teeth as he recalled the many times he had been betrayed by Taoist Buyu in the past.
Finally it fell into my hands!
"You old thief Buyu, you are living a very comfortable life!" The Minister of Justice looked at Taoist Buyu with a smile.
Everyone in the cell looked at the Minister of Justice with anger in their eyes. They thought that this man was very rude and disturbed them from listening to the book.
Seeing Xu Xin in fancy clothes and Lord Mo following behind him, everyone knew that Xu Xin was a high-ranking official.
As for how big, I don’t know.
Taoist Buyu laughed when he saw Xu Xin: "Let me introduce you to everyone, this is Lord Xu Xin, the current Minister of Justice!"
"Bu Yu, old thief, I advise you to be more respectful to me. Whether I lock you up for ten days or ten years is up to me!"
Mo Danxin reminded quietly from behind: "Master Xu, this should be determined by the provisions of the criminal law."
Lord Xu turned around and glared at Mo Danxin, scaring Mo Danxin so much that he quickly lowered his head.
Lord Xu turned to look at the silent Taoist again and returned to his smiling expression.
Taoist Bu Yu looked like an immortal, and his temperament had not diminished in the prison: "What do you want from me? Let's go outside and have a real fight? If I win, you let me go? If I lose, you can lock me up for as many days as you want?"
When Xu Xin heard this, he slammed the table and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"
Although he was defeated by Buyu Taoist in the Jindan stage, Yuanying stage and Huashen stage.
But he is now the Minister of Justice, and has suppressed countless vicious criminals. In terms of cultivation and actual combat, he is not afraid of the Taoist Master Bu Yu!
Lord Xu ripped open the cell chain and opened the door: "Come out!"
Taoist Bu Yu smiled indifferently and said to Mo Danxin: "Master Mo, you have seen it all, right? I want to escape from prison, and Master Xu agreed to my escape plan and even opened the cell door for me personally. I am the principal offender and he is the accomplice. You should lock him up as well."
When Mo Danxin saw this scene, he pondered for two seconds, took a step forward and made a gesture of invitation.
"What the Taoist Sect leader said makes sense. Sir Xu, you are blatantly breaking the law in front of me. Please go ahead."
Xu Xin: “…”
You old thief Buyu, you're in jail and you still dare to cheat me!
