Chapter 212
212 Master’s first silk pouch
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Chu didn’t waste any time and ran toward the Imperial court.
The Chaotian que branch in shenluo city was much more magnificent than the Hangzhou Prefecture. It stretched across a few streets in the east of the city, almost like a Palace.
Li Chu had been waiting in line for half a day in the front hall before it was his turn to enter a washroom.
There was a tall table in the room, and behind it was a purple-robed guard of the Imperial court.
“Who are you? What is it?”
Seeing Li Chu walk over, the violet clothed guard asked in an official manner.
However, after seeing Li Chu’s face, he could not help but take a few more glances. He then frowned as if he had vaguely thought of something.
I’m here for Wang longqi’s case. I’m his defense Taoist priest. Now I’ve Got a Witness’s confession, which can prove that it was done by a cultivator and the murderer is not Wang longqi. Li Chu explained briefly.
“Wang Long Qi is disdainful.” The purple-robed guard rummaged through the desk beside him. After a moment, he asked, ” “Oh, is he from the Hangzhou Prefecture?”
“Yes,” Li Chu nodded.
“Wait a minute, Hang Zhou Prefecture.”
The purple robed guard suddenly raised his head, his eyes darting around Li Chu’s face.
“Wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”
He didn’t know what happened, but his expression suddenly changed and he left the bathroom in a hurry.
Li Chu blinked in confusion.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a white robe walked in with a majestic gait, leading a group of black-robed guards. The black-robed guards filed in, with the purple-robed guard who had delivered the news at the end.
Li Chu stood up and nodded.
The white-robed middle-aged man was very enthusiastic. He laughed and said, ” “So it’s little Daoist priest li from de Yun temple. I am one of the white-robed men of Chaotian que in shenluo city, Duan Geng. Duan Zhang from the Hangzhou Prefecture is my younger brother by blood.”
“Oh, so it’s Duan baipao’s elder brother.” Li Chu then saluted, showing that they were somewhat familiar with each other.
He and Duan Zhang had fought side by side in the gourd cave abode, and they were at least good friends.
In fact, Duan Geng had only appeared here because of Duan Zhang.
The Chaotian Palace had its own rules. When one saw such a reclusive expert with outstanding cultivation, they had to record the evaluation early on.
Duan Zhang and Zhan liuming had seen Li Chu’s strength in the gourd cave, so they rated him as a medium-grade heaven-level.
This level represented a powerful peak-stage decapitation realm expert, a newly-advanced demigod, or a huge force that could mobilize a force comparable to the twelve immortal sects.
For someone of Li Chu’s age, not having ‘almost’ was heaven-defying!
In fact, Duan Zhang had initially wanted to directly give Li Chu a high-tier heaven evaluation, but he was somewhat uncertain about Li Chu’s strength, so he did not dare to make such a sensational decision.
On the other hand, he also wanted to reserve a seat for Li Chu’s master.
After all, his disciple was already so terrifying. Then, it was said that his master, Lao Ai, had a heaven-shaking cultivation base, so he was naturally one of the best in the world, which was unimaginable.
According to common sense, the master should always be a little higher than the disciple, so the disciple naturally could not be capped.
And so, Duan Zhang reported the rating of the master and disciple.
Yu Qi ‘an, de Yun Abbey’s Abbot, heaven-tier superior-class.
Li Chu, a disciple of deyun temple, medium heaven rank.
It could be said that these two people were equivalent to half an immortal sect!
This level of expert evaluation was to be sent to the various state government branches, and all the members were required to memorize it. If you encounter them, you must be careful.
Of course, this was only a strictly confidential internal evaluation of Chaotian que, used to protect their own people from lightning, and absolutely not spread.
The reason was simple.
This kind of evaluation was often given to “reclusive” experts. If one were to openly announce every expert they met, then the trouble that would arise would definitely be counted on Chaotian que’s head.
However, even though it was used to avoid lightning, to the reclusive mighty people of other states, the violet clothed guards would not pay too much attention. After all, they were not at a level that they could come into contact with.
It was because Li Chu’s appearance was too outstanding that the violet clothed guard had a fresh memory of him after a glance.
Never in his dreams would he have thought that such a person would actually line up for an hour to invite Chaotian que to handle the case.
If Li Chu had not mentioned the hang Zhou government, which hit him at his sensitive spot, he might not have reacted.
Duan Geng was very polite to Li Chu. After he asked Li Chu what he was here for, he waved his hand without thinking.
“Release that Wang longqi.”
the descendants of the yin clan, hehe. I’ve long found these shady guys unpleasant to the eye. Investigate them thoroughly.
“However, little Daoist priest li, this group of people is extremely difficult to deal with. In order to not alert the enemy, please do not reveal any information about them after you leave the house.”
Seeing how forthright Duan Geng was, Li Chu naturally agreed.
“Alright, thank you.”
“No need, no need. It’s what we should do.” Duan Geng thumped his chest.
When Li Chu was sent out of the Imperial court by the black-robed guards, many of the people passing by were puzzled. Were the service attitudes of public servants so good these days?
……
Walking out of the prison, Wang longqi was also puzzled.
you’re too efficient. I just told you about this in the morning and it’s already settled before lunch time? ” “The officials here are so easy to talk to?” he scratched his head.
Li Chu did not know much about the inside story, so he said indifferently, ” when you are refined to this world, the world will naturally be easy-going to you.
When they arrived at the deyun sub-temple, Wang longqi’s excitement died down, and he began to sigh.
“Sigh, I’m out now, but LAN Zhi’s whereabouts are still unknown. What should I do?”
“Since Chaotian que has already made his move, I will also pay attention to this group of people. Heaven helps the worthy, so don’t think too much about it. ”
Li Chu wasn’t sure if the woman was safe, so he tried to comfort his friend.
The two sat in the front hall, looking at each other speechlessly. Suddenly, they heard a clamor outside, as if a large group of people were shouting and approaching.
Li Chu frowned.
He saw the Fox girl run in with small steps. master, it’s not good. A large group of people is coming over aggressively. They say that they want to tear us down!
Before Li Chu could say anything, Wang longqi slammed the table. who’s so bold! How dare you provoke Qianqian and Li Chu while I’m still angry?”
The Fox girl rolled her eyes at him and said,”he’s a relative of miss LAN Zhi.”
Wang longqi shrunk his neck and said,”then, miss Xiaobai, hurry up and close the door!” Don’t let them in!”
He was obviously scared.
Li Chu was a little unfamiliar with the situation.
Deyun temple had always had a deep foundation in Yuhang Town. It was formed by the group of aunts accumulated by master over the years and the new generation of girls and wives attracted by Li Chu.
When these two strong forces were combined, it was enough for deyun temple to run amuck in the village without any opposition.
However, in shenluo city, they had no foundation and could not stand firmly. This was actually a hidden danger.
Just like the matter with Wang longqi.
Fortunately, the Fox girl was quick-witted and closed the door after seeing that there were many people on the other side.
However, the other party was obviously well prepared. As soon as Wang longqi arrived, they gathered hundreds of people, including family relatives, neighbors, and friends, men, women, old and young. The lowest was just able to walk, and the highest was ninety-nine. They blocked the entire deyun sub-temple on the spot!
Although the door was closed and they did not force their way in, their preparations were clearly more than that.
In a short while, a large pile of rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, tiles, and bricks were thrown over the wall!
The torrent of curses was endless.
“A hedonistic son from the South has harmed my daughter! Now, he even colluded with the black-hearted Daoist and bribed the government, so he was released from prison without any charges! Where was the Justice! Where is the Justice of the heavens!”
“Today, I must tear down this temple and skin this shameless pervert and the black-hearted Taoist priest alive!”
“My fellow villagers! Keep it up! Erzi has already gone to get the stinky tofu eggs!”
“……”
In the temple, the shameless pervert and the black-hearted Taoist priest looked at each other.
Wang longqi said,”why don’t you go out and explain for me?” I’ve really been thinking about the orchid branch.”
“Isn’t it better for you to say it yourself?” Li Chu blinked.
Wang longqi covered his ears and pointed outside. in this situation, if I’m not beaten to death after saying those three words, I’ll be your grandson.
I might not die, ” Li Chu said. but I’m afraid of getting stinky tofu eggs on me.
Before they could finish their conversation, they heard a loud crash outside.
“What should we do?” the Fox girl asked anxiously. Should I punish them a little? Otherwise, the walls of the temple would be pushed down.”
Li Chu’s eyebrows furrowed.
If the evils were to attack him now, things would be much simpler.
After some thought, he said, light some incense.
Not long after, smoke rose in spirals in the hall.
“What’s wrong? There’s rustling sounds again, it’s quite lively.”
As soon as Yu Qi ‘an’s figure appeared, he heard the shouts outside and exclaimed.
“I got into some trouble,” Li Chu replied.
“I’ve guessed it,” Yu Qi ‘an glanced at Wang longqi. I knew it was nothing good when I saw this kid.
Li Chuyan briefly explained the current situation.
After hearing this, Yu Qi ‘an stroked his beard and said leisurely, ” “There must be someone instigating this behind the scenes. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten the news so quickly.”
Li Chu nodded in agreement. Seeing how calm his master was, he must have already found a solution.
“This matter is difficult to say because you’re new here. Even if we win, we’ll lose the hearts of the people, and everything will be difficult in the future.”
“However,” the old Daoist smiled,”you’re right.”It’s not that difficult. Didn’t I give you three silk pouches?”
“Although it’s a waste to use it here, it’s the best time to use it now.”
“Disciple, bring me the black-gold silk bag.”
The old Daoist smiled slightly, as if he was in the midst of planning a strategy that would win a battle from a thousand miles away.
