Chapter 776 – Close monitoring
Zhou Dong Lei was tormented to the point where he wished he was dead by An Zheng’s tendons and bones. He really did not think that these methods were actually used by a disciple under the orthodox Dao Sect’s inheritance. Even the people in charge of interrogation might not be as ruthless as him. In reality, Zhou Dong Lei was a very fierce person. He had done this kind of thing to torture others more than anyone else, but in front of An Zheng, he could not even last a few seconds.
His methods could be used by the bad people on the good people, why not the good people on the bad people?
An Zheng and Chen Zhongqi had once argued over a matter before … Back then in Ming Fa Si’s An Zheng’s study, Chen Zhongqi had extended the benevolence of a Monarch to the standards of a good person. Then, he came to a conclusion. From An Zheng’s methods of dealing with the criminals, An Zheng could not be considered a good person.
An Zheng asked Chen Zhongqi, in return, what exactly was considered to be a good person.
Chen Zhongqi laughed as he said this. A standard good person would suffer grievances and repay kindness.
An Zheng replied with five words … Damn it.
Only he would dare to speak like this in front of Chen Zhongqi. Chen Zhongqi not only did not get angry, he laughed out loud instead: “That’s why you’re Fang Zheng, you’re the one who’s worthy of being Ming Fa Si’s Lord Sect Leader.”
At that time, An Zheng said, “Do you know why the commoners like those stories about revenge the most?”
Chen Zhongqi replied that he did not know.
An Zheng remained silent for a while, before saying: “Because the commoners do not dare to do that, everyone has their own enemies in their hearts, it’s just that this one has different degrees of enemies. So they always think of themselves as the characters in the novel who love and love and seek solace in this kind of story. ”
An Zheng said: “But no matter who is in power or who stands at the top, they will never spread suching. Of course we should spread the morality of justice, because morality can prevent good people from causing trouble, and when the good people are bullied, they will think of settling the matter and calm others down … Once such a thing was spread, the world would be thrown into chaos. This was not an exaggeration. However, there must be a kind of person who existed to let good people know that there were people who governed fairness and justice in this world. Only then would they not lose all hope. And people like this, those in power are also not allowed to exist in the outside world. Even if they do exist, they are not allowed to spread it. ”
“Why?”
“Because the person who presides over fairness and justice, must be someone from the Holy See. It must bowerful law enforcement office under the Holy See. Only by doing this can the Holy See maintain a high and mighty status amongst the commoners. ”
At that time, Chen Zhongqi said that An Zheng was paranoid.
Was it An Zheng who was paranoid?
Looking at Zhou Dong Lei’s pained expression, An Zheng did not feel much pleasure. Therefore, An Zheng had also said one sentence back then: “So the person who holds the power to enforce the law, must be the one who strictly controls his own desire.”
Chen Zhongqi commented at the time: “Then you are not qualified.”
Yes, that’s right. From this point of view, An Zheng was not qualified, because at that time, he was not someone who completely followed the rules of the game. His only struggle against the Holy See’s laws and regulations was that whenever he accepted a case, as long as the criminal deserved to die, he would definitely kill him and not capture him. Sometimes, thinking about it, this was also a kind of humble struggle.
“What benefits did the people of the Left give to your Infinite Palace?”
An Zheng asked.
Zhou Dong Lei cried out in pain: “What difference is there between what you’re doing and the evil person you think you’re doing!”
“Nope.”
An Zheng’s answer was simple and straightforward, “To make you afraid is what I want to do.”
Zhou Dong Lei finally couldn’t hold on any longer. His mental defenses had completely collapsed. The Daoist’s cold and merciless methods had completely collapsed under this person’s cold gaze.
“I don’t know much … Cough cough, I don’t know the background of Zhou Buyu’s identity, but he suddenly found the place we were hiding dozens of years ago, fought with the sect master then, and killed the sect master. Then he used vicious means to suppress those who disobeyed him, and announced that he was the new Sect Master of the Heavenly Reality Sect, and even changed the name of the Heavenly Reality Sect to Infinite Palace. ”
“This person is very mysterious. He seems to be connected with many big families and sects. Therefore, even though those sects and clans knew that what he had done was very dangerous, they were always compromising … Why, I don’t know. However, under his leadership, our Infinite Palace took several tens of years to recover from the Ming Fa Si’s attack and to become even stronger. ”
An Zheng asked: “Where were you before?”
“In …” Fenggu County. ”
“Fenggu County?”
An Zheng was slightly startled. He had only just thought of the matter of Fenggu County’s Lei Xiucheng, and did not expect that Infinite Palace had actually been hiding within Fenggu County for all these years.
“All these years, the sect head has been giving us cultivation techniques and a large amount of spirit stones and magic tools that we need based on our performance. We do not know where these cultivation techniques and spirit stones came from, but he is much more powerful than the previous sect master, and we are all convinced. ”
An Zheng asked: “Did he mention the sanctuary?”
“No, no.”
Zhou Dong Lei was in immense pain, and didn’t dare to lie. “I’ve been by his side for dozens of years, and he has never mentioned the sanctuary.”
An Zheng felt that something was wrong, he didn’t mention it at all. However, based on An Zheng’s many years of experience in investigating cases, when the evidence was too obvious, the so-called truth that was often pointed towards was not the real thing.
“You can die now.”
An Zheng said: “If you were to be reincarnated auman in your next life …”
Zhou Dong Lei nodded his head with all his might. Right now to die was a kind of expectation and satisfaction to him. He nodded his head as if he was pounding garlic. “If I am reborn aerson in my next life, I will definitely be a good person.”
“No.”
An Zheng shook his head, “What I want to say is, if you are still able to reincarnate in your next life, then it must be that the heavens are unfair.”
An Zheng stomped his foot on Zhou Dong Lei’s chest and with a swing of his hand, a crescent-shaped sword qi floated out from the edge of his palm, and slashed Zhou Caizhi who was still groaning on the ground into two.
This matter had already exceeded An Zheng’s expectations. He knew that even if he had to wait any longer, the Sect Master Zhou Buyu would not appear. This person not only had a mysterious origin, but he was also extremely cunning and cautious. He clearly knew that the Left Protector he had killed before was almost the same cultivation level as the two he had sent out afterwards. He did not send anyone stronger.
There was no point in waiting any longer. An Zheng cut off Zhou Dong Lei’s and Zhou Caizhi’s heads and carried them into the main hall of the Heroic Hall. There waltar in the middle of the north side that still had fruits and an incense burner. When An Zheng walked in, the incense cauldron had just finished burning. On the wall directly above the altar hung the portrait of An Zheng that he had taken at Ming Fa Si.
After walking over, An Zheng reached out to take his own portrait, then looked at the blank tablet on the altar. He flicked his middle finger and wrote on the rankings a spirit tablet that had mastered the art of cultivation. After thinking for a while, he erased it and changed it to the spirit tablet that had succeeded his previous attempt.
He placed the head on the altar and found incense to burn in the incense burner.
“If I don’t find your body, I’ll divide the people who killed you.”
After saying that, An Zheng turned around and left.
Not long after An Zheng left, a few people rushed in from outside. The man in the lead gestured, and the others dispersed to inspect the yard. This person’s face was covered, so it was impossible to see his face. He looked around and then walked into the hall. The first thing he saw was the head on the table, as well as the candle, and then the memorial tablet of Cheng Suquan.
He walked up to the altar, picked up the rank and looked at it. With a slight frown, he immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, in the quiet garden.
Wen En walked in from the outside in small steps, his feet making no sound at all. He knew that the Sacred Emperor loved peace and quiet, especially when dealing with national affairs. He hated being disturbed the most. Therefore, he hesitated outside the door, thinking that this matter wasn’t really that important, so he decided to wait a bit before deciding.
“Come in, I could hear your hurried footsteps from far away.”
Hearing the Sacred Emperor’s voice, Wen En hurriedly opened the curtain and entered, “I can’t hide anything from Your Majesty … It was actually not some major military or state affair, but just related to Chen Liuxi. Just now, a subordinate sent someone to watch, he killed three cultivators in the small courtyard of the Chivalrous Hall who were close to the peak of the Higher Completion Stage, they should all be from the Heaven’s Path Sect. ”
“Three?!”
Chen Wunuo’s expression slightly changed, “Chen Liuxi’s cultivation level is not yet at the Lower Celestial Stage either, how could he kill three cultivators at the peak of the Higher Completion Stage by himself?”
“So this old servant felt that this matter was a little strange. It is reasonable to say that even though someone from Hollow Jade Temple had been injured, but he had already avenged himself. Why did he still burn incense for that person from the Heroic Hall who died?”
“The people from the Dao Sect all have a merciful heart.”
Chen Wunuo laughed and said.
Wen En shook his head, “But this Taoist Chen Liuxi, doesn’t seem to be merciful in any way. Your Majesty, there is another question. Within a short period of time, he found out the name of this Sect Master of the Heroic Hall, and he even established a tablet for him. How long had it been since Hollow Jade Temple came to the Jinling? The organization’s ability was not to be underestimated, as they had already found out the history of the Hall of Heroic Evils so quickly. Most importantly, something was wrong with the tablet. It looks like he wrote something first, then he erased it and wrote it again. ”
“Hmm?”
Chen Wunuo raised his head and looked at Wen En: “What exactly do you want to say?”
“This old servant has found something...” The head of the Chivalrous Hall, Cheng Suifang, was actually the head of the Judgement Division of the Ming Fa Si at that time. After the incident in the Ming Fa Si, he chose to leave, but did not leave the Jinling. Instead, he recruited a group of people who shared the same interests as him, and formed this Heroic Hall. What we do every day, is the so-called chivalrous thing. ”
“All the people in the Ming Fa Si have Fang Zheng’s brand in their bones.”
Chen Wunuo sighed: “What you mean is, you suspect that Chen Liuxi is related to Fang Zheng?”
“This old servant doesn’t dare to think like that. This old servant only feels that he might have some sort of connection with the Ming Fa Si. If the name written on the tablet was Cheng Dacheng and then changed to Cheng Suifang, then … I am afraid that we need to re-examine this Chen Liuxi’s origins. ”
Chen Wunuo nodded: “Where did he go now?”
“Jinling Mansion.”
“Jinling Mansion?”
Chen Wunuo said: “When the Jinling Mansion comes into contact with him, he has already lost one of them, and now he is going to the Jinling Mansion again.”
Wen En said: “Your majesty, Jinling Mansion is holding back and wants to take revenge on him.”
Chen Wunuo asked: “Jinling Mansion’s current Prefect, Jin Taida, went up via rank?”
“Yes.”
“That’s why we know about the past affairs of the Jinling Mansion. Let Chen Liuxi go and cause some trouble. We would like to see how much trouble the yamen area of the Jinling Mansion has become under my watch.”
