Chapter 46: Gradual Collapse
Because Tang Ao and his predecessor Taishou accumulated three cases when they handed over, Tang Ao's promotion to the court to try the case was actually a trivial matter between neighbors, and they consciously gave in to each other, and the trial was completed in less than a quarter of an hour.
Yue Xiaoqun saw that Tang Ao had finished the trial and had nothing to do, so he suggested: "My lord, the notice board has been released, however, my gentleman has a simple national style, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are not a few disputes in a year. ”
Tang Ao groaned and nodded, feeling that cultivation was more important, and it was imperative to open up the blocked meridians and acupoints as soon as possible, and to advance to the foundation building period.
"Lord Commander has worked hard, the official left the seal letter in the hall, and the Tenggen Beast also left, so you can go to the inner hall to find the official."
Yue Xiaoqun and the others sent Tang Ao out of the yamen, and after a short time, some officials brought two people who were arguing.
The two of them accidentally bumped into each other while walking on the street, the defendant fell to the ground, and the plaintiff demanded that the defendant must knock himself down once, otherwise it would be difficult to feel at ease.
Yue Xiaoqun is very familiar with handling such disputes, as long as he arranges to collide again and praise both parties, it will definitely be a happy situation.
Unexpectedly, just when Yue Xiaoqun wanted to make a judgment, the Tenggen beast standing next to the main seat suddenly mooed, ran over and threw the plaintiff to the ground, biting off the plaintiff's nose with one bite.
The plaintiff's nose was bitten off, and he spoke in an urn voice: "The divine beast spared his life, it was the grass people who did it wrong, and the grass people should not deliberately knock down others, in order to win the praise of everyone......
Tenggen Beast snorted twice, and as the plaintiff knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, an aura that was difficult for ordinary cultivators to find merged from the plaintiff's body into the Tenggen Beast's single horn.
In the inner hall, Tang Ao took the pill to meditate and practice qi, and when the Tenggen Beast absorbed and fused the strange and incomprehensible breath, Tang Ao suddenly felt that the effect of the pill doubled, and in one fell swoop, he broke away the acupuncture points that had been stagnant for a long time, and the feeling of refreshment could be described in words.
Above the lobby, Yue Xiaoqun looked at the Tenggen Beast with bright eyes, clapped his hands and praised: "Lord Taishou is high-spirited, and the accompanying divine beast is even more discerning, which is really a blessing to strengthen the city." ”
The news of the three classes of officials, the six-room scribes echoed one after another, and the news of Gucheng Taishou and noble conduct and accompanied by beast gods gradually spread in Gucheng, and it was cited as a beautiful talk after tea and dinner.
A month later, under Tang Ao's unremitting penance day and night, the meridian acupoints of his left hand were opened, which made Tang Ao ecstatic, and then his face became bitter, because the gifts he received when he was too punctual in Gucheng were consumed.
Without the support of the elixir, Tang Ao's cultivation was like sailing against the current, and his entry was slow, so he simply got up and left the inner hall, ready to ask about business.
When he got up, Tang Ao casually glanced at the bookcase, there happened to be a bronze mirror hanging on the wall, Tang Ao vaguely felt that his face in the mirror was a little bad, and he approached to take a closer look, but he couldn't notice what the difference was.
Tang Ao came to the lobby, Yue Xiaoqun and others stood up to greet each other, and Yue Xiaoqun told Tang Ao about various official documents and files since this time.
There is no major incident in Gucheng, Tang Ao turned a few pages and finished reading, and praised: "Lord Duwei has done a good job, and you have also worked hard." ”
When Yue Xiaoqun and the others were humble, Tenggen Beast came to Tang Ao's side and rubbed Tang Ao's arm affectionately, like a coquettish puppy to its master.
Yue Xiaoqun hurriedly told the magic of the Tenggen Beast, Tang Ao laughed and said: "Lord Duwei doesn't say it, the official still feels puzzled, the Tenggen Beast of the official is very similar to the Divine Beast Qi Qi in the Jinluan Hall in the capital of the Junzi Kingdom, maybe it is a close relative of that Divine Beast." ”
"My lord's words are reasonable, as the saying goes, the bird flies away with the phoenix, and the virtuous and virtuous people are self-exalted, the adult and this Tenggen beast is the fate made in heaven, and I am the blessing of the people of the city!"
"My lord is accompanied by this divine beast, and it has long been a good story in the solid city, and my lord's ascension is just around the corner!"
Tang Ao was very relieved in the face of everyone's praise, but he was thinking in his mind, when he could really ascend, if he received another gift, the cultivation resources and pills would be a lot more, which could solve his urgent need.
Thinking like this in his heart, Tang Ao's mouth was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him like this, what was a gentleman? The monarch is respected, and the people are loved, and this gentleman's way is also.
Yue Xiaoqun saw that Tang Ao was in a good mood, and said: "My lord, today is a beautiful day, it is better to go out to observe the people's feelings, and let the people of Gucheng admire the majesty and virtue of the adults." ”
Tang Ao readily agreed, the third class of officials immediately acted, raised the avoidant, solemn guard of honor card, Tang Ao rode a poor beast, the people of Gucheng heard the wind and moved, and welcomed Tang Ao out of the patrol, and the beautiful words were endless.
Today, when Tang Ao's guard of honor marched to the front of the Zuixiang Building, two scholars wearing long robes and holding swords actually fought, and the fierce beasts they domesticated were also entangled together.
It was the first time for Tang Ao to see the fighting methods of the people of the Junzi Kingdom, only to see the fierce beasts on both sides, you and me, the two of them had swords in their hands, shouting and fighting, the sword was swallowed, and the brilliance between the pinching and chanting spells was shining.
Both of these people have the realm of the foundation building period, although everyone in the Junzi Kingdom cultivates, but the ordinary people are just the appearance of the early stage of Qi refining, such a big battle, everyone is afraid of it, so as not to encounter the disaster of the pond fish.
Tang Ao was a fortified city guard, and his cultivation realm was far inferior to that of the two warring parties, and even Du Wei Yue Xiaoqun was more than a step behind.
Just when Tang Ao was at a loss for how to stop the two of them fighting, the Tenggen beast under the seat roared angrily, like a bull rushing towards the two sides of the fierce battle, and a brilliant light flew in the air, which was Tang Ao's seal letter left in the yamen.
Taishou Yinxin fell from the sky, expanding dozens of times out of thin air, like a hill pressing, the sword in the hands of the two scholars was broken by the power of Yinxin at the same time, and the domesticated beasts on both sides were also in the roar of Tenggen Beast, prostrate and kneeling to express submission.
Tang Ao looked at the seal letter that exuded huge coercion in a daze, this ...... It turned out to be a magic weapon, and the magic weapon could only be operated freely by cultivators in the Jindan period.
Tang Ao, a cultivator whose Qi refining period is not yet complete, how can he make it? Immediately understood that this magic weapon was blessed with a majestic gentleman's breath, but I was afraid that it was a protective measure given by the lord of the gentleman's country to his subordinates.
"Why are you fighting here? Do you know the laws of the Gentleman's Kingdom? "Tang Ao's official authority diverged, and the breath of the magic weapon of the seal letter complemented each other, and the people of Gucheng were all shaken.
Yue Xiaoqun looked at the two warring sides, frowned slightly, and said, "Lord Taishou, these two scholars don't seem to be the people of my Junzi Country. ”
The two scholars who were suppressed by the magic weapon of Yinxin snorted together, and one of them said proudly: "What you said is right, we are people from overseas, and we have come to the country of gentlemen to travel, do we still have to follow the laws of the country of gentlemen?" ”
Tang Ao was speechless for a while, and his face sank and said: "Since you are in the Junzi Country, you naturally have to follow the laws of the Junzi Country, and this official asked you why you are fighting?" It's not really coming. ”
The two who were suppressed were very disdainful of Tang Ao, but the magic weapon of the seal letter on their heads made the two unable to resist, and they glanced at each other with hatred, and the person who spoke first said: "There is no big grudge, this person has traveled with me, and he has exhausted his entanglement, I have borrowed him hundreds of spirit stones, and today let him return my spirit stones, but he shirked in every possible way, and even did not admit it......"
"Hugh wants to spew blood, hundreds of spirit stones? Don't be afraid of the wind fanning your tongue, let's see what is this person's value of hundreds of spirit stones? Are you a local taishou? We must strictly deal with this small criminal. ”
Tang Ao was about to inquire carefully, but the Tenggen Beast under the seat suddenly made a piercing noise, and the horn above his head swelled, instantly piercing into the chest and abdomen of the person who spoke first.
Without waiting for this person to resist, the Tenggen Beast shook its head, and the single horn exuded a gray-white brilliance, this person shuddered, and dozens of shining stones fell, and under the suppression of the Yinxin magic weapon, he didn't even have a chance to resist, and was actually devoured by the Tenggen Beast.
Tenggen Beast swallowed the person, gathered the spirit stones on the ground into a pile, pushed them in front of the person accused of borrowing the spirit stones and did not return them, and rubbed the person with a single horn.
Tang Ao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a tsunami-like exclamation in his ears, and they all supported Tang Ao for handling it properly, and the little greedy and false accuser should end up like this.
The magic weapon of the seal letter in front of Tang Ao flew back to the yamen by itself, and the scholar saw the spirit stone on the ground, and then looked at Tang Ao, who was slightly sluggish, and bowed his hand and said: "My lord is discerning, and he is worthy of being the prince of the country. ”
After the scholar finished speaking, he took away the spirit stone on the ground, and a light appeared under his feet, and he left the solid city directly.
The virtues and conduct of the Junzi Kingdom can be spread abroad, and the people of Gucheng are excited, and after less than a day, the capital of the Junzi Kingdom once again sent an angel to drive the dragon chariot.
In view of Tang Ao's deeds in Gucheng, he came to commend and convey the will of the lord of the country, and promoted Tang Ao to Dali Temple, one of the nine secretaries.
Hearing that Tang Ao was promoted, the people of Gucheng were very reluctant, and they petitioned for wine, and Wanmin Umbrella didn't know how much they sent, and they wanted to keep Tang Ao and continue to be a guard in Gucheng.
Tang Ao is no longer fluttering at the moment, but takes it for granted, Tang Ao thinks that he is fair and selfless, has great righteousness, and is more than enough to be a Dali temple secretary who settles prison lawsuits.
Under Tang Ao's recommendation, Yue Xiaoqun took over as the Taishou of Gucheng, while Tang Ao rode the Tenggen Beast and rushed to the capital of the Junzi Kingdom to take up his post.
Tang Ao has completely integrated into the Junzi Kingdom, and when he was summoned by the Lord of the Kingdom again, he responded appropriately, and only then did he know that the reason why he was promoted to one of the Nine Qings was precisely because he demonstrated the laws of the Junzi Kingdom when ruling on the two scholars.
The lord of the country praised Tang Ao's way of being an official, and cited him as Aiqing, Tang Ao felt the usefulness of it, and was full of words to kill himself to repay the king's kindness.
Just when Tang Ao and the monarch and ministers of the Gentleman Country were playing against each other, the Tenggen Beast that Tang Ao was riding walked in circles around the Divine Beast Qiqi sculpture in the middle of the Jinluan Palace.
The eyes of the Divine Beast Qiqi Sculpture suddenly lit up, corresponding to the eyes of the Tenggen Beast, and all the actions of Tang Ao as an official in Gucheng appeared in the pupils.
