Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The judicial envoy Dao Fang that Song Xuan was going to meet this time was a powerful man who was suspected to be in the early stage of quasi-emperor.

The Judicial Envoy is mainly responsible for reviewing the completion of tasks, recording merits, and has the authority to exercise internal penalties within the Hall of Justice. He is similar to an inspector within a secret agency or a military policeman in the army.

The residence of the Daofang Judicial Envoy is different from the cave courtyard of Song Xuan and others. It is more like a real government office.

At the door, there were two gods of justice on duty. Seeing Song Xuan coming, one of them stepped forward and stopped him.

"The Lord Justice is taking a break. Do you have an appointment?"

Song Xuan ignored him and looked at another judicial god on duty, who was also an acquaintance, Lu Hongyi!

"Why are you here?"

Previously, when he was at the headquarters of the Palace of Justice, Song Xuan had also sent a message to Lu Hongyi, asking about her situation.

The reply he got at that time was that she was in seclusion. After receiving it, Song Xuan did not disturb her again. He did not expect that after not seeing her for nearly a hundred years, when they met again, this sword genius had become the gatekeeper.

Seeing Song Xuan, Lu Hongyi was also surprised. "I wasn't happy in the law enforcement team, so I applied for a transfer. I heard you were out on a mission, but I didn't expect you to be gone for so long. Was the mission difficult?"

Song Xuan smiled and nodded, "It's a bit difficult, but fortunately, I can overcome it."

It's a bit difficult for the Xuantian team. To be frank, let's change a team and have them fight 100%!

The giant demon god who possessed the Flame Flag was just unlucky and ran into Song Xuan's team who happened to be able to restrain him. Otherwise, no matter who else was there, there would be almost no solution for him below the Daluo level!

It is said that the benefits of opening up new land are rich, and indeed they are. The members of the Xuantian team have their fill.

But at the same time, there are too many unknowns in pioneering new areas, and the possibility of the whole team failing can also lead to a tragic death!

Chapter 1060 So, what next?

Song Xuan didn't ask why Lu Hongyi was unhappy in her previous team and insisted on applying for transfer to come here to guard the gate.

There are many people here and some things are not suitable to be said.

After a brief chat, Lu Hongyi looked at him apologetically, "Song Xuan, you should come back later. The Minister of Justice is indeed taking a lunch break at this time."

Song Xuan raised his eyebrows, what a great official authority.

He doesn't care about lunch breaks or anything like that. Some people always have special habits, and he can understand that.

For example, there was a time when Song Xuan also fell in love with taking a nap. Even if he was not sleepy, he still liked to take a nap during his free time in the afternoon.

But hobbies are hobbies, and the premise of all this is that you cannot delay normal official work because of your personal hobbies!

The Palace of Justice is a privileged institution. You, a judicial envoy holding great power, cannot simply not work because you want to take a lunch break. If you don't want to work, you can always arrange a clone or a few subordinates to handle official business, right?

As a result, this Taoist priest simply arranged people to guard the gate and not let anyone in!

Okay, okay, as long as no one comes in, I won’t have any official business. Is that how we play it?

If Song Xuan had his previous temper, he would have rushed in and stabbed him.

But now, in this ancient world where the saints dominate the world, the emperors hold the power of heaven, and the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods is not far away, Song Xuan silently recited Li Changsheng's Gou character formula, and finally decided to wait for a while.

If you have any complaints, just wait until he gets through the fourth stage of decline!

After calming down, Song Xuan did not leave. He stood outside the gate and chatted with Lu Hongyi.

The man who had stopped him before, seeing that Song Xuan and Lu Hongyi were acquaintances, did not deliberately make trouble anymore. He stood aside, looking into the distance silently, as if he was daydreaming.

He was not stupid. Based on Lu Hongyi's words, he could basically judge that the person in front of him was the captain of the God Team. No one who could become the captain of a team in the Hall of Justice was a weakling.

To put it bluntly, after thousands or hundreds of years, the next time we meet, it is very likely that the other party has transformed into a powerful person in the Taiyi realm.

He is just a gatekeeper. He just needs to guard the gate. There is no need to rush to offend others.

Two hours later, the door creaked open. In the yard, a middle-aged man with a mustache glared at Lu Hongyi with an unhappy look on his face, and then stared at Song Xuan impatiently.

"The chirping is annoying!"

The smile on Song Xuan's face faded, and he looked at him calmly, "Justice Envoy, Dao Fang?"

The mustache-wearing man frowned, but before he could speak, the young man at the gate quickly explained, "Fellow Daoist Song Xuan, this is Deputy Envoy Moro."

Song Xuan hummed, looked directly at Moro, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Deputy Envoy, can we open the door and handle official business now?"

Moro chuckled, "Are you one of Qinglin's men?"

Song Xuan nodded.

Moro said, "Sorry, I can't do it. If you need anything, please let Qinglin come by himself. Do you really think that any small fry can enter the Justice Department?"

Song Xuan silently recited Li Changsheng's Gou character again in his heart.

"Sir, my Lord Envoy, our Lord Envoy has been busy and has not yet returned. Could you please be flexible and help me sort out the mission files first?"

Song Xuan handed over the jade slip that recorded the completion of the task, and also unnoticeably attached a storage ring.

Judging from Moro's attitude, there must be a significant conflict between the Dao Fang Judicial Envoy and Qing Lin. Song Xuan, well-versed in the ways of the officialdom, decided to prioritize peace and reason, convincing people that anything that could be resolved with money would be resolved first.

At worst, I can ask Qinglin to reimburse me later!

But in the end, Namo Luo put the storage ring into his sleeve, but casually threw the jade slip recording the task on the ground.

"Boy, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? If you need anything, ask Qinglin to come over. This place is not suitable for a mere justice god like you!"

Song Xuan was visibly stunned for a moment.

He had seen many people who took money but didn't do their job, but he hadn't met anyone who was so arrogant and took money but didn't do his job for a long time.

I once again silently recited the word Gou in my heart.

But then, Song Xuan snorted coldly,

What the hell are you talking about! You're shameless, I'll beat you first and talk to you later.

At worst, we can ask Emperor Zhenwu to come and deal with the situation!

Seeing Song Xuan standing there without any reaction, Moro waved his hand impatiently, "Why don't you leave? What? Are you dissatisfied?"

"I surrender to you!"

Lord Song hasn't swore in many years. Even after he recited the word "Guo" three times, he still couldn't suppress the urge to take action. I have to say, this guy named Moro is also a weirdo!

Bang!

A fist as big as a casserole hit the deputy envoy Moro in the face, and his body flew out and hit the doorpost of the yamen heavily.

I don’t know what material the pillar is made of. Despite the violent impact, it didn’t move at all and there was no sign of impact at all.

Song Xuan couldn't help but take a few more glances. What a good stuff!

Pfft!

Moro fell to the ground, his head buzzing, and half of his cheek was visibly sunken. Even with his Taiyi peak cultivation, he was unable to repair his injury quickly for a while.

He shook his head, stood up from the ground, and looked at Song Xuan in disbelief. The mocking and disdainful look on his face had long disappeared, replaced by disbelief.

He couldn't accept that he was beaten by the captain of a team of gods, and even more unacceptable was that he didn't even dare to think of fighting back.

At this moment, a sense of crisis that he had not felt for many years kept reminding him that if he did not fight back, he would at most be beaten, but if he fought back, he might lose his life!

"Okay, okay, let's do it!"

Moro kept backing away. "If they do something at the Justice Hall headquarters, you'll be finished!"

He muttered to himself as he stepped into the main hall of the yamen. Soon, a thin but tall man in a gray robe walked out of the hall.

Seeing the newcomer, Lu Hongyi and the other gatekeeper quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Master Daofang!"

The person who came was Daofang, one of the thirty-six judicial envoys!

Dao Fang's face showed no sign of anger. He just looked at Song Xuan calmly, "Do you know that disturbing someone's sleep is a very annoying thing!"

Song Xuan said, "So, what next?"

"You are so arrogant!" Dao Fang laughed in anger, "Song Xuan, I know you, and I also know who is standing behind you!

But I want to tell you that to be able to sit in my position, there must be someone behind me, and that person’s status and strength are not inferior to your backer!

If things really get out of hand, no matter how much you say, you're not in the right if you take action at the Justice Hall headquarters!"

Song Xuan crossed his arms and said casually, "So, what next?"

Chapter 1061: Be friendly on the surface, but kill in secret!

Daofang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Song Xuan's attitude of being as tough as a piece of meat on a rolling pin and as fearless as a dead pig in boiling water really made him feel a little intimidated.

This guy, is he really planning to make trouble to the several palace masters of the Palace of Justice over such a small matter?

If this matter really gets out of hand, Song Xuan, who took the initiative, will naturally not have a good ending, but he, the Taoist party, will probably also suffer the consequences of not doing his job properly.

There are some things that the people above know very clearly.

For example, he likes to sleep in and not do his job, and he likes to deliberately make things difficult for people he dislikes. But even though he knows it, he cannot make it public.

If this really gets out of hand and is brought to the attention of the palace masters, no one will be in any good situation!

After a long silence, Daofang raised his hand and picked up the jade slip on the ground. After scanning it with his spiritual sense, he spoke in a low voice.

"The mission process is not clearly documented, and the content is not detailed. What happened during this period, what was gained, and what was lost are all very vague!"

Song Xuan: "I don't want to waste any more time talking nonsense. Just tell me whether the mission has been completed or not!"

Dao Fang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Done!"

No matter what reasons he gave, the outcome was clear: the Xuantian team established a teleportation array in that extraterritorial starry sky that connected to the Heavenly Court, thus expanding the territory of the Heavenly Court.

All in all, this is a mission successfully accomplished!

Finding faults in the mission was nothing more than trying to cause trouble for the other party, but unfortunately Song Xuan didn't buy it.

"In that case, I wonder if Lord Fang has anything else to order? If not, then I will take my leave!"

Dao Fang didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and neither did Song Xuan.

Although he has the support of Emperor Zhenwu, he is not willing to ask Zhenwu to take action for every little thing. If he owes too many favors, it will be very troublesome to repay them in the future.

Dao Fang chuckled, "I don't have any orders, but I do want to advise you, young man, don't be arrogant just because you have some support behind you.

Many people who can stay in this judicial palace have powerful backers.

There aren't many people as easy to talk to as me!"

Song Xuan clasped his fists and smiled, "Thank you very much for your advice, sir. As for whether I am arrogant or not, you will get used to it after more encounters with me!"

Having said that, he turned and left, but after a few steps, he stopped and turned slightly sideways.

"Just a quick question, does Lord Daofang have a grudge against my Lord Law Enforcement Officer?"

Dao Fang was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "No hatred, no grudge!"

Song Xuan lowered his eyes slightly and hummed, "I understand!"

Some things don't need to be said explicitly, but they are actually very clear.

Daofang and Qinglin have no hatred or grudge, but he instructs his deputy to make things difficult for the God of Justice under Qinglin. The reason behind this is very intriguing.

Apart from the fact that Dao Fang was bored and wanted to attract hatred for himself, there was only one possibility left.

That is, Qinglin offended someone.

The person he offended was quite powerful, most likely someone like the Great Emperor Zhenwu, who also served as the master of the Palace of Justice!

On the way back, Song Xuan secretly cursed his bad luck.

Instead of getting any benefits from the law enforcement officer, he, the team leader, was implicated and suffered an unexpected disaster. How unlucky!

I just don’t know why Qinglin and the mysterious palace master had such a feud. It can’t be because of a woman, right?

...

"grown ups!"

Inside the Judicial Envoy's Office, Deputy Envoy Moro rubbed his still slightly sunken face and looked at Dao Fang with grievance, "Sir, are you just going to let him go like this?"

Dao Fang glanced at him and said, "How about asking him to stay for dinner before leaving?"

Moro said angrily, "A captain of a celestial team assaulted his superior. If this gets out, I will be ashamed, and your authority will be challenged!"

Dao Fang hummed, "It's true that we can't just let it go like this, but this is the headquarters of the Palace of Justice, and even if there's a fight, it has to be kept within a certain range.
