I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 511: Vent bad breath
Dachu, Dragon Temple.

Fan Li sat on the futon, closing his eyes and concentrating, like an old monk in trance.

As a time traveler, he has been practicing for more than ten years.

Cultivation is not a strange thing.

But it was the first time in my life that I tried to realize enlightenment.

Zhang Daoling once said that the ninth level of Mahayana realm is the limit of realm, but not the limit of combat power.

Beyond realm, one also needs enlightenment.

There are three thousand heavenly ways. After a mortal becomes an immortal, he can understand one of the three thousand heavenly ways based on his own qualifications and mind.

A heavenly way is the limit of mortals.

Emperor, but there is no limit on quantity.

All three thousand heavenly ways can be practiced.

But Zhang Daoling also reminded Fan Li that the strength after comprehending the way of heaven does not depend on the quantity mastered, but on the depth of the way.

In other words, even if you understand all three thousand heavenly ways, if your understanding is shallow, your combat power will not be as good as deeply understanding one heavenly way.

Your Majesty, please do your best!

This is what Zhang Daoling repeatedly told Fan Li.

Zhang Daoling also said something else, which is no less valuable than this one.

"His Majesty."

"In fact, the talents of heaven throughout the ages are not restricted by immortals. Even if they have not yet become immortals, they have already understood the way of heaven."

"If your Majesty wants to practice Taoism, you don't have to wait until you become an immortal. You only need to enter the Mahayana realm and try to understand it."

"With your majesty's appearance, I believe that your majesty will definitely gain something."

"Even though they are not as powerful as immortals in the fairy world, they can still dominate the human world."

Fan Li felt that he had made the wisest decision by convincing Zhang Daoling to stay in the Jin Dynasty!
The information provided by the immortal is indeed worth a thousand pieces of money!

It's a pity that the way of heaven is elusive and traceless, and Fan Li has never understood it yet.

"Enlightenment is so difficult, is there anyone around me who has already achieved enlightenment?"

Have!
Must have!

This thought quickly flashed through Fan Li's mind, and familiar figures flashed through his mind.

The civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty, such as Wang Ban and Hu Zongxian, were all outstanding figures.

Fan Li's women, such as Han Yue, Qing Qiu, and Lu Fubao, are also amazingly talented and beautiful.

Is the way of heaven always difficult to ask?
Do not!
No matter how high you go, there is a limit. Among the geniuses around you, there may be more than one who has already half-stepped into the threshold of heaven.

The rest is just a matter of time.

I can’t fall too far behind!

While Fan Li was thinking about it, the figures of the two enemies suddenly appeared clearly in his mind!

The first is Yaoguang.

"The sea of ​​suffering...the other side...bliss?"

"The Holy Yin Mysterious Sutra practiced by Yao Guang is the supreme inheritance of the Pure Land of Sanskrit."

“The so-called sea of ​​suffering, the other shore and bliss coincide with the meaning of [transcendence], which is the way to transcendence!”

"This is Yaoguang's way of heaven!"

The second figure shocked Fan Li even more!

Emperor Jiajing, "Sun and Moon Mysterious Sutra".

The tyranny of extreme yin and yang, Emperor Jiajing relied on this to become invincible in the world, without even a single defeat!
"wrong."

"The real genius is the creator of the Sacred Yin Mysterious Sutra and the Sun and Moon Mysterious Sutra."

"Sages of the Pure Land, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!"

"One can understand the transcendence of life and death, and the other can interpret the changes of the sun and the moon."

"It's rare in ancient times, they are the geniuses!"

Fan Li had new insights.

It is better to carve your own path than to follow the path of others.

It's just that pioneering is difficult, how can it be done just by talking about it?

"Ugh……"

After a long time, Fan Li opened his eyes.

This retreat lasted for many days, but unfortunately I gained very little, almost nothing.

"Master is awake?" Wu Zhui's voice came from outside the practice room.

Before Fan Li could answer, a beautiful figure flashed in.

"You finally woke up!"

It was Xiang Ning who came.

She was not polite and directly picked up Fan Li and strode out.

"Your Majesty, if you don't pay your respects early, why are you coming to Paolong Temple?"

Outside the palace, there were a lot of guards, maids, and eunuchs, and Fan Li could only keep a straight face and look serious.

Look at the sky, it is indeed morning time.

He is in seclusion, so Xiang Ning should take charge of it himself.

"Something happened! You have to help me make up my mind. Why are you so early?"

Xiang Ning said as he pushed Fan Li into the dragon chariot.

This was the emperor's exclusive carriage, but no one in Chu State dared to question whether Fan Li was qualified to sit on the dragon chariot.

"Something happened?" Fan Li said blankly: "Emperor Jiajing called?"

He only has two clones now.

One was in seclusion and the other was on the battlefield in Haozhou. The intelligence was immediately blocked a lot.

"no!"

"But there is a human life lawsuit, and I don't know what to do."

Fan Li became even more puzzled.

"Homicide?"

"It is the duty of the Tingwei to judge crimes and impose punishments. Why does Your Majesty directly interfere?"

Xiang Ning sat in the dragon chariot, lowered the curtain, and lay into Fan Li's arms without restraint.

She lowered her voice in the man's ear and said, "I think Wei Ting's punishment was wrong, so I suspended the trial. I want to hear your opinion."

……

…………

Tingwei, in charge of justice and prison, is one of the nine ministers.

Fan Li and Xiang Ning arrived at the imperial office in a dragon chariot. As soon as they opened the curtain, they saw a crowd of people kneeling outside the official office.

There are government officials and people in the capital.

Many brave people secretly took a peek at Fan Li and Xiang Ning.

Perhaps in their eyes, the fact that the Emperor of Chu and the Prince Regent were riding in the same car was actually more exciting than a murder case.

Go to court and ask questions.

Fan Li did not expect that the identities of the plaintiff and the defendant were not ordinary!
"Your Majesty and the Regent, please make the decision for my brother who died in vain!"

A woman cried until her face was pale and her voice was hoarse. She was obviously extremely sad.

Fan Li remained silent and checked the case files first.

"The civilian girl is not guilty. Her brother committed suicide and has nothing to do with the civilian girl!" Another woman spoke, it was the defendant.

Fan Li opened the file and only glanced at half a page, realizing that it was indeed a difficult case to judge.

"Ah?"

"This case cannot be said to be from the ancient times of another world. The judiciary is not perfect."

"Even in my original world, it was difficult enough to judge clearly."

The deceased, Meng Qi, was the third-generation outer disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect of Chu State.

The Divine Medicine Sect is the number one medical sect in Da Chu, and the imperial doctors of the Great Chu Imperial Hospital are all from the Divine Medicine Sect in almost every dynasty.

Meng Qi has outstanding talent and works hard in training. Although he has only been admitted for a short time, the Divine Medicine Sect has already planned to promote him to an elite disciple of the inner sect, with a bright future.

It just happened that such a promising future imperial physician died?
The cause of death was that his beloved woman suddenly broke up with him.

Meng Qi begged to save her, but the woman refused, which eventually led to Meng Qi committing suicide in despair.

"cough!"

Xiang Ning coughed lightly and spoke to the accuser, Meng Qi's sister.

"I will ask the regent to retry this case in person. You can recount the case to him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Regent!"

Although Meng Qi's sister's face was full of tears, she finally showed a happy face, as if she was seeing the sun again after the dark clouds.

Fan Li also looked at her, but in fact he glanced at the accused woman and immediately noticed a look of fear flash across the woman's face.

"Unjustly accused!"

"Lord Tingwei has already convicted the civilian girl, why do you need a retrial?"

"Your Majesty is unfair, and the women of the people will not accept it!"

Forehead?
Fan Li was stunned.

He never expected that a mere civilian woman from Chu State would dare to accuse her of injustice in front of the Emperor of Chu?

"You must establish the emperor's prestige in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public." Fan Li lowered his voice and reminded Xiang Ning beside him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his waist!

Xiang Ning actually used 120% of his strength to pinch Fan Li's waist repeatedly!

He almost screamed out in pain!
However, when Xiang Ning's voice reached his ears, Fan Li immediately felt that he really deserved it. "Thank you for reminding?"

"But His Royal Highness the Regent also doesn't want to think about why the emperor of Chu has lost his majesty over the years?"

"Ok?"

"My dear father-in-law?"

Okay, okay, so it’s all my fault?
Fan Li was speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, everything is a boomerang, and one day the cause and effect will have to be sorted out?

"His Royal Highness the Regent..."

Meng Qi's sister had tears in her eyes and her voice trembled as she softly recounted the whole story.

Two years ago, Meng Qi came to Pengcheng with the elders of the sect for training and attended the medical clinic opened by the Divine Medicine Sect.

During this period, a female cultivator named Tan Zhu often came to the medical clinic to buy elixirs, and she gradually became acquainted with Meng Qi.

"My brother has a young mind, simple and immature."

"Tan Zhu is much older than him, so he shouldn't have been the same person."

"However, Tan Zhu shamelessly flirted with my brother and even called me 'husband' when no one was around in private."

"After my brother fell in love, he made up his mind to marry Tan Zhu. However, he refused to return to the sect after completing his training. He still stayed in Pengcheng and refused to leave..."

Fan Li was reading the case files while listening to Meng Qi's sister cry.

Sure enough, it was as she said.

Meng Qi did not return to the Divine Medicine Sect, but stayed in Pengcheng for two years.

During this period, he either worked as a helper in a medical clinic or went out to collect medicine and refine elixirs.

Meng Qi was tireless day and night, often to the point of collapse and fainting from exhaustion.

"Two years!"

"For two years, my stupid brother! In order to make Tan Zhu happy, he actually accumulated ten earth-level pills and more than a hundred mysterious-level pills in two years, and gave them all to Tan Zhu to help her improve her cultivation. use."

Meng Qi's sister said, howling and crying again.

Fan Li fell silent.

The file he held clearly recorded that when Tan Zhu first went to the medical clinic to buy medicine, he could only afford yellow-level elixirs, and occasionally only three or two Xuan-level elixirs.

It can be seen that Tan Zhu's financial resources were not abundant at that time, and his cultivation was not very advanced.

If she has a cultivation level above the fifth level of the Golden elixir realm, most yellow-level elixirs will be almost ineffective for her cultivation.

However, the Tan Zhu in front of him is at the first level of Nascent Soul Realm?
A practitioner of martial arts is not like Fan Li who has the power to control a country's wealth.

In just two years, from being below the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm, he was actually promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm?
How could Tan Zhu have such financial resources?
Fan Li looked at Tan Zhu for a long time and realized that her talents and qualifications were also relatively mediocre.

Therefore, Tan Zhu's rapid improvement in cultivation was all due to Meng Qi's funding.

Sensing Fan Li's unkind gaze, Tan Zhu was also very nervous.

"Your Highness the Regent, that was all done by Meng Qi's own accord! We broke up because of a rift in our relationship. His choice to commit suicide had nothing to do with the daughter of the people. The daughter of the people has never..."

"Shut up."

Fan Li spoke expressionlessly, but his tone was cold.

Tan Zhu trembled all over and did not dare to speak anymore.

In another world where network information is developed, Fan Li often sees this kind of woman in the news even if he has never seen her in person.

Use your advantage as a woman to drain some stupid men who are in love with them?
And then, you still use your eloquent words to defend yourself?
In such a case, no wonder Tingwei didn't know how to decide.

The skills of judicial interpretation are obviously not yet widespread in this world.

Tingwei could only understand the law in a rigid way, and he would be judged not guilty if there was no clear violation of the law.

"Oh, no wonder Xiang Ning and Tingwei had different opinions and brought me in to resolve the case."

Fan Li stole a glance at the empress beside him, his face flushed, obviously very angry at Tan Zhu's sophistry.

"I only want to ask you a few questions."

"After questioning, if you are really not guilty, you will be released immediately in court."

Fan Li spoke calmly, like an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

His attitude immediately gave Tan Zhu hope!
"Thank you, Your Highness the Regent. The daughter of the people will definitely tell you everything!"

Tan Zhu's face was filled with joy, and she even twisted her relatively slim figure, as if she was coquettishly showing off to Fan Li.

Meng Qi's sister, on the other hand, couldn't stop her tears from flowing out.

"My first question, defendant Tan Zhu, have you ever called Meng Qi 'husband'?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Tan Zhu denied it immediately without even thinking about it.

She is now eager to clear up the relationship and wants to call Meng Qi a stranger.

"It's on record." Fan Li suddenly said to Tingwei.

"Let me come!"

As if expecting something, Xiang Ning grabbed the pen and paper from Tingwei's hand and wrote it himself.

Fan Li also took the opportunity to say: "The defendant Tan Zhu, the emperor is observing this case. If you lie in court, it will be a crime of death for deceiving the emperor."

Tan Zhu's expression changed when he saw this!
She quickly changed her words and said, "Wait a minute! Just now, the daughter of the people made a mistake. The daughter of the people did call him 'husband'!"

After saying that, Tan Zhu was still out of breath, obviously very frightened!

Fan Li nodded and said to Xiang Ning beside him: "Your Majesty, please record it in the record."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Xiang Ning pouted with a look of regret on his face.

But she still followed Fan Li's request and recorded the contents of Tan Zhu's changed story.

"I will ask again."

"Defendant Tan Zhu, during the two years that you and Meng Qi have known each other, did you accept the earth-level and xuan-level elixirs he had worked so hard to accumulate and use them to improve your cultivation?"

Having learned from the past, Tan Zhu could only admit it.

"Yes, he gave...I accepted all of them."

"record on file!"

Fan Li still said this, but there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Defendant Tan Zhu, why did you want to get acquainted with Meng Qi in the first place?"

Tan Zhu was stunned.

She didn't expect Fan Li's question to be so sharp, but she had to answer it.

"Because...because the pills for improving cultivation are too expensive, and I don't want to spend money, so..."

"record on file!"

"Defendant Tan Zhu, apart from Meng Qi, have you also used similar methods on other men?"

Tan Zhu really wanted to cry.

But she didn't dare to lie, so she could only say in a trembling voice: "I have used it several times, but most of the results were not good. Gradually, women found that it would be easier for a young and inexperienced man like Meng Qi..."

seduce?

Deceive?

Bewitched?

No matter which word, Tan Zhu really couldn't say it.

Fan Li didn't care and continued to ask: "Defendant Tan Zhu, why did you break up with Meng Qi so that he was so sad and desperate that he chose to commit suicide?"

"because……"

Tan Zhu was trembling more and more violently, and she didn't even dare to look directly into Fan Li's eyes.

"Say!"

Fan Li slapped the table, which frightened Tan Zhu into speaking quickly.

"Because Meng Qi's savings were all used up, and I saw that he couldn't come up with decent elixirs, I thought it was time to leave him."

At the end, Tan Zhu seemed to finally feel ashamed, and his head hung deeply.

"Your Majesty, have you remembered everything?"

Fan Li returned to his normal tone and asked Xiang Ning beside him.

"It's word for word, I've written it all down." Xiang Ning handed it to Fan Li and whispered in his ear: "If you handle this case well, I will reward you well when you return to the harem."

Fan Li's mouth trembled and he almost couldn't hold it back.

Is this a reward?
But it’s really Xiang Ning’s style.

He glanced sideways at the trembling Tan Zhu again, thinking that it was time to pronounce the sentence.

"Convict woman Tan Zhu."

"You are supported by Meng Qi. The evidence is conclusive and you are indeed husband and wife."

"But you are greedy, unkind, unjust, and trample on the love between husband and wife, so much so that you drive your husband Meng Qi to death."

"This king sentences you to life for life, are you convinced?"

Hearing that he was going to be sentenced to death, Tan Zhu didn't care whether Fan Li was a traitor or a regent.

She shouted in panic: "The people's daughter refuses to accept it! The people's daughter is still innocent and has not been touched by Meng Qi in the past two years. What kind of husband is he? The regent's punishment is unfair, and the people's daughter does not accept it!"

"it is good."

Fan Li was not angry at all.

"If you are not convicted based on the relationship between husband and wife, I will impose a new punishment."

As soon as these words came out, the lobby of the Tingwei Department, which was noisy just now, immediately became quiet again.

Even Tan Zhu pricked up his ears and widened his eyes, holding on to a trace of fantasy and expectation.

"Prisoner Tan Zhu is a native of the country. He is willing to be humble. He shows off his sex to others and behaves frivolously, just like a prostitute."

"The criminal deceived Meng Qi, a disciple of the Divine Medicine Sect, and squandered all his property, causing Meng Qi to commit suicide in despair."

"My king clearly understood the "Laws of Chu" and sentenced the prisoner Tan Zhu... to death for the crimes of seeking wealth, murder, and lewdness!"

Originally there was no such chapter, so it was written like this.

Everyone who understands understands. May there be no more pure love warriors in the world. May the deceased rest in peace. May the garbage be thrown into the trash can.
