Zen Master Dingzhen accompanied the emperor up hundreds of steps. When he finally entered the temple, even though the emperor was in great spirits today, he was old after all and was already panting with sweat on his forehead.

The eunuch on the side didn't dare to help him just now, but now he hurriedly came over to help him and wiped the emperor's sweat.

"Oh, my body is getting old after all. I don't think I would have been out of breath all the way back then!"

Zen Master Dingzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is in good health. I am very happy. If your Majesty is upset that you are old but you are still in trouble, please look behind you!"

The emperor turned to look behind him at this moment. Among the royal relatives, princes, nobles, courtiers and civil servants who were accompanying him, many were out of breath while walking, and there were not a few who were staggering around and being helped along.

Not to mention those who were older, even those who were obviously very young were sweating, sweating and panting, and seemed to be in much worse condition than the emperor himself.

Of course there are some who are in good condition, and there are even more, but those who are in poor condition are so conspicuous and eye-catching that many people seem to be in poor physical condition.

"Hahahahaha, what the master said is absolutely true, let's go."

After laughing, everyone headed by the emperor entered the temple one after another. Zen Master Dingzhen knew that he could not control too much and could only reach what he could.

There was another eunuch following the emperor, always holding a wooden box, which contained three dragon scales.

At this moment, as Long Lin entered the Hualong Temple, the original sky became more gloomy, dark clouds gathered unconsciously, and the sky seemed to get darker.

Taoist Xue, who was hiding behind the temple, looked at the sky and then at the people around him.

"This is God's will, God is also helping us, we can't miss the opportunity, it is now!"

In such weather, although the power of thunder is hidden, it is not triggered, and it greatly blocks the power of the sky, making it easier for Zhang, who is possessed by Chai Wang, to come out.

"good!"

Zhong Xingwen had already changed out of the clothes he had worn when he was on the road, put on his clothes as a county police chief, and now he responded and strode out.

Many forbidden troops have entered Hualong Temple, and many masters are following the emperor.

At this moment, Zhong Xingwen didn't dare to use any light skills to suddenly appear. If he dared to do so with his limited skills, he would be misunderstood as an assassin and would be killed on the spot.

So Zhong Xingwen wore official uniform and strode forward resolutely. When he passed the monks around him, some monks saluted him.

The emperor in front has accompanied Zen Master Dingzhen into the front of the temple. The buildings in the Hualong Temple are of different heights, but there is still a piece of flat land in front. At this moment, the Hualong can be seen in the mountain above.

It was also at this time that the Forbidden Army in front discovered Zhong Xingwen.

"Stop!" "Who are you? The Emperor is here and you still don't retreat?"

Seeing that he was wearing official uniforms, the imperial guards did not take action immediately. Instead, they blocked Zhong Xingwen and ordered him to leave. The emperor and his entourage in the distance did not even notice the movement.

However, Zen Master Dingzhen saw it and looked to that side. Following his movements, the old emperor subconsciously looked there, which naturally attracted other princes, nobles and officials to look.

Facing the blocking Imperial Army, Zhong Xingwen just cupped his fists and loudly answered the Imperial Army's first question with his breath, but the target was not just the Imperial Army.

"Zhong Xingwen, the head of the express team in Haiyu County, Beihai County, pays homage to the Holy Lord - I would like to submit the charges against Guan Xinrui, the magistrate of Haiyu County. He is greedy, cruel, and murders his wife in pursuit of glory. He harms the people and flatters the enemy. He colludes with gangsters and commits suicide. He even deceives people." Your Majesty, your sins are too numerous to describe—"

This kind of thing has been mentioned in many operas and books throughout the ages, but it is more of a literary and artistic work.

Taoist Xue is not a child, and Zhong Xingwen's justice is not just naive. He naturally knows that doing so involves huge risks. Perhaps only Zhang is naive enough to fully believe what Taoist Priest and Brother Zhong say.

But today the two of them were obviously willing to go all out.

Zhong Xingwen did not force his way through the Imperial Guards to stop him. Instead, he shouted loudly before the Imperial Guards could react, and even knelt down at this moment.

"Please, Your Majesty, seek justice——"

The sound of "Abbott Justice" was heard far away like the previous voice, and echoed in Hualong Temple and the surrounding mountains. It was not only transmitted to the emperor, but also spread far away.

Normally, who would be able to remember a small county magistrate, but today, the name Guan Xinrui is known to everyone present.

Zhong Captou's voice was full of anger, and it also carried a strong indignation, which was deafening to listen to. This was also because it was so full of righteousness that it made some people tremble when they heard it.

"My Buddha is compassionate!"

Zen Master Dingzhen clasped his hands together, while the old emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing the words, and then subconsciously looked behind him. The surprised King Xin and the slightly pale Guan Xinrui were not far away.

When King Xin saw the emperor turning around, he realized that the thunderous voice was talking about the people around him. He also looked at Guan Xinrui in shock.

Guan Xinrui's face turned pale and sweat appeared on his head. He was a little at a loss for a moment. It was Zhong Xingwen. He was not dead yet?

Chai Wang didn’t say it was already. No, the Chai Wang last night was not Chai Wang either.

But this panic only lasted for a short time, and Guan Xinrui immediately knelt down to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister is just a small local county magistrate, and he doesn't have much power. How can he be so guilty? This person is slandering the minister -"

Guan Xinrui said, kneeling on his knees, taking a few steps forward, and kowtowed in the direction of the emperor.

"Your Majesty—Wei Chen is extremely loyal, and even found dragon scales for Your Majesty—every word of Wei Chen is true, and if there are any lies, Wei Chen will surely die badly—"

The emperor frowned. Offering the dragon scales was indeed a great achievement. He looked at Guan Xinrui and then at the official over there, and glanced at the eunuch beside him.

A eunuch immediately took a few steps forward and shouted to the imperial guards and guards over there.

"Bring him here!"

Zhong Xingwen took a deep breath, facing the Imperial Guards and Ouchi guards who were guarding him on both sides. He had already forgotten all his fear. He followed a few people to approach the emperor, but was blocked ten steps away.

Looking at the county magistrate kneeling there, Zhong Xingwen had already clenched his fists.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen remembered it. This person is indeed a headhunter for the county government, but he usually harms the common people in the village. I dismissed him from his post after I failed to persuade him many times. This person has a grudge. Since he designed this to frame Wei Chen, His crime deserves to be punished——"

"Captain Zhong, it's in vain that I treated you so well and trusted you so much, but you have violated the conscience of a public official. Aren't you afraid that your wife, children, and elders will know -"

At this moment, Guan Xinrui became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice was loud and sharp, and his face was even more ferocious.

After hearing his words, even though Zhong Xingwen was gritting his teeth at the moment, his face changed color. This person named Guan was obviously threatening his family.

Even the emperor once again looked sideways at Guan Xinrui, and King Xin on the side frowned slightly and took a step away. How could they not hear this subtext?

Zen Master Dingzhen looked at Guan Xinrui, who was kneeling there at the moment, and said again, "My Buddha is compassionate."

At this moment, Zhong Xingwen could not be deterred.

"Your Majesty, please read the complaint!"

The old eunuch took the paper and handed it to the emperor. The latter glanced at the old abbot next to him, then at the head catcher over there, and then read the contents on the paper.

During this process, the civil and military officials, princes and nobles at the rear were talking a lot, and even some imperial troops and guards were paying attention.

Guan Xinrui knelt there and did not dare to get up. His whole body was sweating like rain and shaking slightly.

The old emperor continued to read the petition, scanned the entire text, and then looked at Zhong Xingwen, who was standing ten steps away.

There are many accusations written on the pleading, which are indeed detailed and sincere, but they can also be considered one-sided.

Of course, the old emperor believed that what the arrester said was true, but even so, what Guan Xinrui committed was probably not the most popular among the officials in the court.

"I understand, please step back."

This reaction was very different from what Zhong Xingwen expected, and he was stunned on the spot for a moment.

"Guan Xinrui."

"My lord, my lord is here."

The old emperor gave the eunuch the paper in his hand, and the latter handed it to Guan Xinrui.

"After the meditation, I will ask the Dali Temple Patrol Division to find you. There must be something wrong with the statement on the paper. You should cooperate with them in the investigation."

Guan Xinrui, who was sweating like rain, was also stunned. Thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind, and finally turned into ecstasy. He suppressed it tightly and kowtowed to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, please accept the order and thank me——"

This result shocked countless people present, but many of them also felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

"Master, wait until we go to the Zen Pavilion on the peak to view the treasure in the box."

The emperor was about to leave after saying this, and Zen Master Dingzhen beside him finally showed a look of disbelief, and then suddenly looked at Guan Xinrui over there.

At this moment, the official may have been too much stimulated by surprise and joy, and his energy was unstable. It seemed to echo the treasure box in the hand of the eunuch on the other side, and even revealed a bit of demonic aura.

At this moment, Zen Master Dingzhen actually had the feeling that if this person stayed in the court, he would probably become a human monster that would harm the country and the people!

Even the Big Toad King at the back squinted at Guan Xinrui, who was overjoyed and almost uncontrollable. Mortals couldn't see it. If they could see it, they would know that this strange change in Qi is somewhat scary.

Even Yayou, who was still at the bottom of the mountain, felt it and looked up at the special aura on the mountain. What's even better is that this aura echoed the dragon scales and also implicated Yaci.

"Hehehehehehehe"

Yayou couldn't help but look back at the direction of the invisible street, and then looked at the mountain again, looking at the dragon painting on the mountain, and even hoped that Yaci would wake up soon.

In the Hualong Temple, the most unacceptable person in the room was Zhong Xingwen. His eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenching, almost to the point of being crushed by himself.

"Your Majesty, these evil villains"

An old eunuch walked up to Zhong Xingwen and laughed in a slightly sharp old crow voice.

"Okay, Zhong Sutou. The imperial court also has its own rules for dealing with officials. Even if it is a complaint with no evidence, it is just a piece of paper. You can't expect anyone who files a complaint to be taken down and sentenced to death on the spot, right?"

Zhong Xingwen turned to look at the old eunuch. It was not that he didn't know that there was an implementation process of imperial laws, but he was not a fool. The emperor obviously wanted to handle it lightly.

"But the emperor did this"

The old eunuch put his hand on Zhong Xingwen's shoulder, which actually stopped the trembling of his body.

"Be careful what you say!"

At this moment, a roar came from a Zen room a little further away.

"Shen your mother - go to hell -"

It was Taoist Xue who was roaring, and he almost finished his words. He was carrying a man in black robes and kicked open the door of the Zen room with a "bang~".

The next moment, the Taoist led the men in black robes and rushed to the Forbidden Army. When the latter raised his sword, he combined his hands and pointed his sword forward.

"The fire dragon clears the way——"

Several talismans flew out, ignited flames and connected together, forming a fire dragon in an instant.

"Boom~~~"

Those who were blocking the way, whether they were imperial troops or guards, were forced back by the roaring fire dragon, and a group of people dressed in black rushed towards the emperor's location.

The Emperor's Qi is on his side. Even if he is a faint king, even if the target is not an emperor, the ghost is difficult to approach, and the fire dragon will clear the way for it.

"Escort——"

Someone shouted loudly, but the fire dragon was weakening rapidly as it approached the emperor. Upon noticing this, Taoist Xue bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"boom"

The brilliance of the fire dragon became more and more fierce, and the emperor was also protected in panic and fled. The princes, nobles, civil and military officials fled for their lives, creating a ridiculous farce.

"ah--"

A mixture of male and female voices sounded out, with a faint, shrill and terrifying sound. Countless people were frightened by the sharp sound and covered their ears.

The person behind the Taoist fell in black robe, and Chai Wangfei came out to Guan Xinrui.

At this moment, perhaps the aura of the emperor, the aura of monsters, the aura of people, the aura of officials, the aura of ghosts, and the aura of Buddhist temples collide with each other.

Chai Wang's body vaguely showed the shadow of Zhang's ghost. Her resentment had reached its peak just now. At this moment, her green face and fangs were so terrifying that she strangled Guan Xinrui's neck in an instant.

"Ah uh."

"Heartless thief. Give me back my life——"
