The Jade Emperor raised his hand slightly, and the two Taoists stood up.

Taibai Jinxing said from the side: "Qi Shuming, Zhu Mei, why are you two beating the Dengwen drum?"

Qi Shuming said: "I have been wronged, and I sincerely ask your Majesty to make the decision!"

Taibai Jinxing asked: "What's the grievance?"

Qi Shuming said: "Gu Zuo, the leader of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, was dispatched by the heaven to go to Wujiang to quell the war. However, Gu Zuo did not think about heaven's grace, did not follow the law, acted perversely, and sold monks from all over the world as slaves. Have mercy on me, Emei."

, Qingcheng monk, hundreds of people have fallen into his hands so far and have been tortured. I beg your majesty to make the decision for the ministers and others, and have them chained up to heaven, and be held accountable for their crimes!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Taibai Jinxing looked at the Jade Emperor on the throne, and the Jade Emperor asked: "Who is handling the Wujiang incident?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Your Majesty, he is the manager of Sanyuan City."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly: "Then let Zhenwu rule."

Summoning so many courtiers, only to disperse in a few words, really made people's eyes drop to the ground. However, the Jade Emperor was calm and calm, and Qi Shuming and Zhu Mei didn't take it seriously, as if it should be like this.

.

Taibai Jinxing led Qi Shuming and Zhu Mei to the Zixiao Palace where Emperor Zhenwu was in charge of Sanyuandu, and announced the Jade Emperor's will.

Emperor Zhenwu accepted the order and asked Taibai Jinxing: "Brother Chang Geng, what advice do you have?"

Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said: "I don't think I have any ideas. Your Majesty said that everything is entirely up to the emperor's discretion. I am just a spectator."

Emperor Zhenwu sighed and said: "I understand." He ordered the two generals Turtle and Snake: "Ascend to the palace and show your seat to Taoist Brother Chang Geng."

The door of Zixiao Palace was wide open, Emperor Zhenwu ascended to his throne, accompanied by the two generals Turtle and Snake, Taibai Jinxing sat in the guest seat, and more than ten immortal officials with important positions in the palace lined up on both sides.

Qi Shuming and Zhu Mei were summoned into the palace. The two men once again reiterated their appeal to heaven to avenge their grievances, and waited quietly in front of the palace, waiting for the verdict.

Emperor Zhenwu ordered: "Xuan Guzuo, Wang Qin will go to heaven to defend himself."

The Wujiang River Basin is thousands of miles away from Nantianmen. It takes at least four or five days for Xuan people to go to heaven and back and forth, and one to two days for them to be placed in heaven. This amount of time is actually not that short for these immortals.

It’s just a moment to recuperate your eyes.

After receiving the order, Zhang Quan left Zixiao Palace and went straight to Nantianmen. As soon as he arrived at Nantianmen, he met Wang Qin who had come back to collect grain and grass. He bumped into him and stopped him immediately.

Let him go to see Emperor Zhenwu.

When Wang Qin came to the palace, he heard Emperor Zhenwu ask: "Wang Qin, these two are Qi Shuming from Emei Tian and Zhu Mei from Qingcheng Tian. They are suing Lingxiao Palace today, saying that you and Gu Zuo are doing something wrong in Wujiang River."

, is there such a thing as selling monks from all over the world?"

Qi Shuming and Zhu Mei's behavior of complaining to heaven really angered Wang Qin. We haven't complained yet, but you did it first? This is simply unreasonable!

He said loudly: "Your Majesty, we are working hard to maintain the place. We originally thought that we would not cause trouble to the Emperor and just try our best to calm down some things. Who would have thought that the evildoers in Emei Qingcheng would complain first? It's really heartbreaking!"

Emperor Zhenwu said: "Now that we are here, if you have anything to say, please explain it clearly here."

Qi Shuming stepped forward and handed over a list: "Emperor, the one hundred and sixty-nine monks here are all from Emeitian and Qingchengtian. Now they have been kidnapped by Wang Qin and Gu Zuo, and they are not known to be sold.

Which house are you at?"

After Emperor Zhenwu read it, he flew the list to Wang Qin: "Just take a look and see if it's true."

Wang Qin took it and looked at it for a moment, then sneered: "For your information, the emperor, these thieves are all being detained in the prison of the military camp, but they were not captured by us, but by others who were good at starting a battle, provoking the army, and taking the initiative to invade the military camp.

Captured in front of the gate. In Emei and Qingcheng for two days, they worked in collusion in the Wujiang River Basin and oppressed the weak. This is recognized by all the heavens. Whenever they see good and talented people, they will use smooth words to force others to switch to the master's school. If others do not

From then on, they took action brazenly and robbed them by force. Such evil deeds are known to everyone."

Zhu Mei said from the side: "It's full of nonsense! We, our disciples, have always been chivalrous and upright, and countless young talents are vying to join us. Where is the persecution? You, on the other hand, kidnapped my disciples and sent them to the military camp."

, it is still being sold today, the emperor will find out after sending someone to investigate!"

Emperor Zhenwu said: "If that's the case, let's go check it out and see if it's true. Zhang Quanyi, please go down to the lower world again."

Wang Qin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He looked at Emperor Zhenwu and blinked. Unfortunately, Emperor Zhenwu didn't look at him. He just explained Zhang Quanyi's related matters. Wang Qin felt bad. Emperor Zhenwu was not prepared to give face to the Eight Immortals.

?Gu Zuo was recommended by his teacher and Immortal Puji, and he also served as the Supervisor of the Army. Isn’t this a clear connection? Why did he really send someone to the lower world to investigate?

Although Gu Zuo had not told Wang Qin face to face about the things he did, Wang Qin was the supervisor of the army after all and had spent a lot of time in the camp. Even if he didn't tell him, he would still know a thing or two about many things. It's just that

Just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

Not to mention anything else, letting people come and redeem the monks is what really happened in front of Wang Qin. As far as he knew, half of the prisoners in Emei Qingcheng should have been sold. If he went to check,

Isn’t it time to sit down?

Wang Qin broke into a cold sweat and wanted to stop him, but for a moment he had no words to say and could only watch Zhang Quanyi leave.

After Zhang Quan received the order, he went to Nantianmen again and went to Beiju Luzhou. It took more than two days to arrive at Xichuanyuan of Wujiang River.

The angel from Zixiao Palace came. This was a big event. Gu Zuo opened the middle door to welcome him, received the order, and said respectfully: "I'll ask the angel to check."

Zhang Quanyi asked: "Are there any monks from Emei Qingcheng detained at your place?"

Gu Zuo admitted: "It is true."

Zhang Quanyi asked: "Is there a roster? Where are the people?"

Gu Zuo asked someone to take the roster and present it to him. Zhang Quanyi and Qi Shuming took it in their own hands. They compared the rosters handed over by Zhu Mei and found that the two lists roughly overlapped. He couldn't help but nodded: "With the account books, it will be easier. Let's go and take a look.

look."

Gu Zuo led the way first and took Zhang Quanyi to the dungeon. He checked every room and found that it was indeed full of monks from Emei Qingcheng. Zhang Quanyi was unambiguous and named them one by one. He heard that these monks from Emei Qingcheng were from the lower realm of angels.

, everyone was in high spirits, and while responding, they scolded Gu Zuo.

After the counting was completed, Zhang Quan said: "Then please trouble me, Master Gu, to go to heaven with me and go to Zixiao Palace to defend yourself. In addition, Master, can I order a few more people?"

Gu Zuo agreed and allowed Zhang Quanyi to select four monks with higher cultivation levels in Emei Qingcheng in the dungeon. He also asked General Gu Zuo to present a list of his generals and selected two from them.
