Chapter 285: I Agree to Sentence the Old Thief Bu Yu to Death

Mo Danxin, currently serving as the Magistrate of Dayan County.

He is fair and impartial in handling things, and people call him Mo Qingtian.

He is unmoved by the goodwill and bribery of local forces and refuses them sternly.

He treats mortals and cultivators equally and does not treat cultivators specially.

And he is also the person with the highest cultivation in Dayan County, at the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation, and with the blessing of national destiny, no one can threaten his safety.

He also vigorously develops the tourism industry and develops the food culture unique to Dayan County, allowing more and more people to come to Dayan County to consume and promote local economic development.

Under his governance, Dayan County is thriving.

However, he recently encountered two unexpected things and felt that they were beyond his ability.

The first thing is that the imperial court sent troops to station in Waste Mountain. It is said that a stronghold of the Demon Sect was discovered. It is just not known whether it is related to the destroyed Decayed Sect or the other three Demon Sects.

The commander of the army is the old General Lu, who is at the Body Integration stage and has high prestige in the army. With this old general stationed here, he, a small magistrate, doesn't need to worry anymore.

The second thing is that there is a heavyweight figure locked in the prison, whose status is second only to His Majesty, one of the five major immortal sects, the strongest person below the Tribulation Transcendence stage, the strongest sword cultivator in the world, the Unspoken Daoist whose enemies are all over the world.

Fortunately, this big shot is honest. He said he would be locked in the prison, so he was locked in, without even resisting.

If he really resisted, Mo Danxin really couldn't lock up the Unspoken Daoist.

From the theoretical perspective of law, he has jurisdiction, and the Unspoken Daoist's matter is not big, so he can just be locked up for a few days.

But Mo Danxin always felt that the Unspoken Daoist's status was too high, and he should report the matter of handling the Unspoken Daoist to the imperial court.

And Mo Danxin also faced a problem—the Unspoken Daoist was locked up, but he was telling stories in the prison, and many people came to admire him.

For example, stealing a few taels of silver, according to the law, should be locked in prison for five days.

The family sends food, the prison is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a Body Integration stage great power telling stories next door. These five days are incredibly comfortable.

I don't know who passed this experience on, but many people followed suit. Now the prison is full of prisoners.

Those who don't know would think that Dayan County is some kind of vicious place, and the prison is overcrowded.

If this forms a rumor and reaches His Majesty's ears, all his achievements will be splashed with dirty water, and he won't be able to explain it clearly.

Who would believe it? Your prison is overcrowded just to listen to storytelling?

Fortunately, after the imperial court learned of this, they attached great importance to it, and the Minister of Justice flew to Dayan County in person to handle the case of the Unspoken Daoist.

"My lord, the Minister of Justice is arriving soon." The subordinate reminded softly. Hearing this, Mo Danxin hurriedly took off his regular clothes, changed into his official uniform, and went out to greet him.

When Mo Danxin went out, the Minister of Justice happened to descend from the sky, without even bringing attendants, which showed how anxious he was about this trip.

The Minister of Justice, Xu Xin, was tall and mighty, with distinct facial features. His brocade clothes highlighted his noble status, and he had a profound understanding of the law, deeply trusted by the Xia Emperor.

"Minister Xu, this matter of the Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master..."

The Minister of Justice waved his hand: "I know the whole process of the matter. I agree to sentence the old thief Bu Yu to death!"

"Ah? But the Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master is..."

"Death penalty!" The Minister of Justice said decisively.

Looking at the attitude of the Minister of Justice, Mo Danxin remembered a rumor—it is said that any official in the Imperial City who is hit by a stone is an enemy of the Unspoken Daoist.

There is also a poem: Who in the world does not know you.

This refers to the Unspoken Daoist.

"Go, go, go, let's go see the old thief Bu Yu!" The Minister of Justice pulled Mo Danxin and rushed to the prison.

He heard that the Unspoken Daoist was locked in Dayan County, and he even canceled his dinner with his colleagues to rush over to watch the fun.

The prison was bustling with noise, as if vicious criminals were locked inside, making trouble.

If you listen carefully, you will find that someone is telling stories inside the prison.

"Let's talk about that day, Qin Jiunian, that is, the Great Elder of the Profound Heaven Sect, and I, in the process of traveling through the Central Continent, used the Heavenly Eye and discovered a tomb with soaring corpse energy. I pinched my fingers and calculated that it must be a zombie of the Corpse King level!"

"Originally, the two of us wanted to go to the sect to find reinforcements to surround the Corpse King, but the Corpse King discovered the two of us and wanted to escape by tunneling!"

"Saying that it was too late, I took the lead and used a move of 'Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens' to break through the heavy seals and the thick soil of the tomb, blocking the Corpse King's retreat. The Corpse King saw this and led a mighty group of zombies to attack me and Qin Jiunian!"

"Who are Qin Jiunian and I? The Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master and the Profound Heaven Sect Great Elder. Does a mere Corpse King want to defeat us?"

"The Corpse King revealed his true body of Drought Demon, causing thousands of miles of scorched earth, the earth dried up, connecting the earth fire, and the heavens and the earth turned into a sea of fire!"

"I used a sword to move the wind and clouds, the heavens and the earth darkened, and Qin Jiunian performed the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth, and a finger was as thick as a mountain."

The prisoners in the prison stared at the Unspoken Daoist, holding their breath, for fear of disturbing the Unspoken Daoist's storytelling.

The Unspoken Daoist spoke with ups and downs, reproducing the non-existent things in front of everyone. Everyone was immersive, as if they were watching the battle from the side.

The Minister of Justice had a strange expression. If he remembered correctly, the old thief Bu Yu and the Great Elder Qin went to build graves that time and accidentally dug into a real grave, and were treated as tomb robbers.

Where is there any Corpse King Drought Demon?

After a few years, the old thief Bu Yu's ability to make up lies has increased day by day!

The Minister of Justice thought of the many times he had been pitted by the Unspoken Daoist in the past and gritted his teeth.

Finally fell into my hands!

"Old thief Bu Yu, you are living quite comfortably!" The Minister of Justice looked at the Unspoken Daoist with a smile.

Everyone in the prison looked at the Minister of Justice in unison, with anger in their eyes, feeling that this person was very rude, disturbing them from listening to the story.

Seeing Xu Xin in gorgeous clothes and Magistrate Mo following behind, everyone knew that Xu Xin was a big official.

As for how big, they didn't know.

The Unspoken Daoist laughed loudly when he saw Xu Xin: "Let me introduce to everyone, this is Minister Xu, Xu Xin, the current Minister of Justice!"

"Old thief Bu Yu, I advise you to be respectful to me. Whether you are locked up for ten days or ten years is all a matter of my words!"

Mo Danxin reminded softly from behind: "Minister Xu, this should depend on how the criminal law stipulates."

Minister Xu glared at Mo Danxin, scaring Mo Danxin to lower his head.

Minister Xu turned his head to look at the Unspoken Daoist again, returning to his smiling appearance.

The Unspoken Daoist had an immortal style, and his temperament in the prison had not diminished by a single point: "What do you want me to do? Shall we go outside and have a real fight? If I win, you let me go? If I lose, you can lock me up for as many days as you want?"

Hearing this, Minister Xu slapped the table: "Good, it's a deal!"

Although he was defeated by the Unspoken Daoist in the Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, and Spirit Transformation stage.

But he is now the dignified Minister of Justice, who has suppressed countless vicious criminals. In terms of cultivation and actual combat, he is not afraid of the Unspoken Daoist!

Minister Xu tore open the chain of the prison cell and opened the door: "Come out!"

The Unspoken Daoist smiled faintly and said to Mo Danxin: "Magistrate Mo, you have seen it all. I want to break out of prison, Minister Xu agreed to my prison break plan and personally opened the prison door for me. I am the principal offender, he is the accomplice. You should lock him up too."

Seeing this scene, Mo Danxin pondered for two seconds, stepped forward, and made a gesture of invitation.

"The Profound Heaven Sect Sect Master is right, Minister Xu, you openly broke the law in front of this official, please."

Xu Xin: "..."

Old thief Bu Yu, you can still pit me even after you are in prison!
