Chapter 2588: Chapter 1: Evil Presence_2
Zhuo Qingru took a step back and respectfully said, "I want to represent the Triple Punishment Palace and thank the Marquis for gifting this book. The landscape remains unchanged, and the jade has its quality; it will certainly become a classic in criminal law."
Jiang Wang turned aside, not accepting the courtesy, and said earnestly, "I cannot claim credit for even a single word; I dare not accept thanks. If the Triple Punishment Palace wants to express gratitude, it should thank Master Lin Kuang for writing this book, Master Wu Lie for completing it, and Lin Youxie for passing it down..."
He looked at Zhuo Qingru: "This book of postmortem examination, I have transcribed two complete copies, one remains at the Imperial City Inspection Mansion, and the other is in your hands... I hereby represent Lin Youxie to present it to the Triple Punishment Palace. May all the evil-doers in the world be bound by heavenly nets and law ropes."
Zhuo Qingru suddenly understood why Jiang Wang, who was rumored not to care about formalities, dressed richly today.
It was precisely for this moment, for this solemn statement.
The book was named "Wu Xie." It means "The corpse has evil, so it must be examined," and also... "Thought has evil."
In the future, countless Legalist disciples who read this classic in criminal law must remember that there was once a constable named Lin Youxie in this world, who was just and righteous, thoroughly inspecting unlawful acts, passing seriously through the human world...
"This book will undoubtedly be passed down through generations, and the name will never change." Zhuo Qingru promised earnestly.
Jiang Wang only spread his large sleeves: "In this way, I can be at ease... now I bid farewell."
Zhuo Qingru said in surprise: "This book is of great significance, and the Marquis is so assured to leave it in my hands, without supervision or second thought?"
Jiang Wang replied: "The innocence of Jiang Someone in the past was certified by the Triple Punishment Palace. The evil deeds of the Church of Lifeless this time were also certified by the Triple Punishment Palace. I fully trust the rules of the Triple Punishment Palace and also Zhuo girl’s respect for the Law Code."
Zhuo Qingru holding the thin booklet said again: "The scenery on the Cliff of Celestial Punishment is unique, does the Marquis Wu’an have no desire to appreciate it?"
Throughout history, no matter how brave heroes are, no one would be completely uninterested in this Legalist Holy Land. After all, through storms and ages, it has stood firm, always maintaining the rules of the present world. The so-called Heaven’s rule, Earth’s outline, human punishment.
Jiang Wang pursed his lips and said: "Intent has been fulfilled, I will not disturb further."
With that, he cupped his hands and turned to walk down the steps.
This visit to the Cliff of Celestial Punishment, in grand attire, climbed up to the Law Stele and stopped. Saw two of the three Palaces of Law, met only Zhuo Qingru, an Advanced disciple of the Legalists.
Only for the delivery of a book "Wu Xie."

...
In the cage forged from rune steel pillars sat an old man with a monocle, cross-legged.
Around him, the light and shadows of lightning chains entwined. His white hair whirled aimlessly in the air.
Suddenly, he opened his intact eye.
There was an inexplicable pride in his gaze.
His voice pierced through the cage, "That Jiang kid finally thinks of coming to see me?"
A voice like chiseled rock replied: "The Marquis of Wu’an from Qi Country indeed came to the Cliff of Celestial Punishment."
Accompanied by the voice was a man appearing outside the cage, dressed in a magic robe, looking middle-aged. His features appeared very strong. Most striking was his forehead, where a white lightning rune resided, enriching his presence with divine might, making him more imposing.
As he appeared.
The light and shadow of the lightning chain within the cage vanished, and the white hair of the monocled old man returned to lay smoothly down.
"Ahem." The monocled old man tidied his hair, saying with a flourish, "Let that kid wait for four hours, for I, Yu Beidou, am not so easily accessible."
Ju Kui, a True Man from Heavenly Rule Palace, merely glanced at the old fellow inside the cage and said nothing.
"It’s not really about putting on airs." Yu Beidou explained earnestly, "In our profession, there has to be some ups and downs, some to and fro. You know about to and fro? Sometimes if you are too agreeable, people actually don’t trust you."
"Don’t say ’our profession.’" Ju Kui said: "I, as a Legalist disciple, how could I walk the same path as fate masters?"
"The great path in the world, different routes lead to the same goal, True Person Ju, you can’t comprehend." Yu Beidou sighed profoundly, then said: "You open the iron law cage and let me tidy myself up, lest that Jiang You sees it and feels saddened."
"He’s already gone."
"Yes, that child has deep emotions, and isn’t it just come... what?"
"I said." Ju Kui repeated: "The Marquis of Wu’an Jiang Wang from Qi Country did indeed come to the Cliff of Celestial Punishment, but he only delivered his friend’s legacy, said a few words to Zhuo Qingru of Palace of the Palace, and then quickly left again."
"Didn’t he ask about me? Is it possible that Palace of the Palace doesn’t know I’m in Heavenly Rule Palace? Suppressing Blood Demon, such a major issue, it’s understandable that you keep it secret, but Jiang Wang is not an outsider, we have fought side by side, at Broken Soul Gorge—"
"He did not ask about you." Ju Kui interrupted immediately.
Ju Kui is not someone who jokes.
So Yu Beidou fell silent.
A long while later, he said again: "Come, open the iron law cage."
"Uh, since no one is visiting you, why open it?" Ju Kui asked.
Yu Beidou began rolling up his sleeves as he stood up, said expressionlessly: "I’m going to beat that bastard to death."
...
...
On the way back to Qi Country, Jiang Wang felt like he had forgotten something, but couldn’t recall it.
Until he suddenly saw the King of Qin Guang of Hell Has No Door enter the carriage, and he suddenly realized—
He had forgotten the debt owed.
To pursue and eradicate Zhang Linchuan completely, he promised great rewards, leveraging numerous connections.
