Chapter 155: Confrontation and Mourning

There were scoldings coming from outside: "We are from the Taoist government. We have a case to ask Wang Jiaoyan! Open the door quickly! Otherwise we will break in!"

Then, the knocking on the door became louder and louder.

"Auntie, look..." The housekeeper looked at Wang Jiaoyan.

Wang Jiaoyan tried his best to control the fear in his heart. He picked up the tureen on the small coffee table next to him, but it still trembled and some tea spilled.

The housekeeper whispered: "Auntie, why don't you go through the back door..."

"What did you say!" Wang Jiaoyan's eyes were a little scary.

The housekeeper quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.

Wang Jiaoyan looked away: "I'm going to meet them for a while, but I want to see if they dare to arrest me in Wang's house!"

Before he finished speaking, the door crashed to the ground.

The spiritual officials swarmed in and immediately dispersed and stood everywhere.

Zhang Yuelu finally walked in, walked around the screen wall, came all the way to the main hall, and stood still.

Wang Jiaoyan slowly walked out of the main hall and stood on the steps looking at Zhang Yuelu from a distance.

I have admired the legendary Zhang Yuelu for a long time, but this was the first time I met him.

If it were any other time, then Wang Jiaoyan really wanted to make friends with Zhang Yuelu, but it was a pity that the two of them had a life-and-death relationship when they first met.

Wang Jiaoyan did not go down the steps to greet him, but took advantage of the height of the steps to stare down at Zhang Yuelu, his two feet nailed to the ground like cast iron, motionless.

Zhang Yuelu ordered: "Strictly guard the four directions and let irrelevant people avoid."

"Yes!" the leading spiritual officer responded loudly, and the spiritual officers began to drive away the Wang family members who had gathered.

The Wang family is used to being arrogant and domineering, but they have never been treated like this. There are still people who want to resist, but are ruthlessly suppressed by the spiritual officials. These spiritual officials are all from the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang, but they have no friendship with the Wang family.

Zhang Yuelu slowly said: "Wang Jiaoyan, you are suspected of bullying, selling slaves, killing people, and embezzling Taoist assets. Please come with us."

"Secretary Zhang, this is the residence of the real person in charge of the house. Isn't it inappropriate for you to barge in like this?" Wang Jiaoyan suddenly asked.

Zhang Yuelu said: "If you have any objections, it should be raised by the real person in charge of the matter. Let the person in charge of the king confront me face to face. This is two different things from me arresting you."

After the discussion, Wang Jiaohe and Wang Jiaoying walked out of the door of the meeting hall side by side, both speechless.

It's not that they don't want to make any moves, but most of the moves are suppressed by Master Jiang Da, making them unable to move.

At this moment, a confidant ran over quickly, as if his buttocks were on fire, and said hurriedly: "First Master, Second Master, Zhang Yuelu took advantage of you to participate in the discussion, led people to surround the house, and wanted to lock up my aunt..."

Wang Jiaoying was stunned for a moment.

Wang Jiaohe was calmer after all, and asked in a gentle tone: "What name did Zhang Yuelu use to arrest people?"

The confidant replied: "It is said that it is still because of the Nanyang United Trading Company case."

Wang Jiaohe didn't speak anymore, closed his eyes, and murmured: "The building is about to collapse. All three Taoists are involved, so we must get this done. I'm afraid we won't be able to save her."

"I don't see it that way!" Wang Jiaoying came back to his senses, "We can't sit still and wait for death. If Zhang Yuelu comes to arrest people, we won't even be able to protect our own sisters, and all the hearts of the people below will be scattered. Brother, why don't you come forward? , I am the deputy palace master in charge of Dayu Kingdom, Shenglong Palace is my territory, and I also have a spiritual official in my hand, I will go to the ring with Zhang Yuelu! "

After saying that, Wang Jiaoying no longer hesitated and strode away.

Only Wang Jiaohe was left standing where he was.

The real person in charge had a gloomy face, making it difficult to tell what was in his heart.

The confidant asked cautiously: "Master, shall we go back?"

Wang Jiaohe said: "Go and see Mr. Sun."

Because the Sheji Palace was not far from the Wang family's mansion, just when Zhang Yuelu was about to capture Wang Jiaoyan, Wang Jiaoying finally arrived with his men.

The spiritual officer brought by Zhang Yuelu originally wanted to stop him, but Wang Jiaoying loudly rebuked him: "I am Wang Jiaoying, and this is the Wang family's mansion. Can't I go back to my own home?"

The leading spirit officer was startled, and while he was thinking about what was going on here, Wang Jiaoying had already rushed in with his people.

Zhang Yuelu turned around and looked at Wang Jiaoying who walked in slowly.

"Deputy Palace Master Wang also knows?" Zhang Yuelu took the initiative to perform the courtesy of meeting colleagues.

"What do I know? Mr. Zhang broke into my house, what do you want to do?" Wang Jiaoying believed that the two sides had broken up, so he did not return the courtesy and stared at Zhang Yuelu and asked.

"Of course it's a matter of Nanyang United Trading Company." Zhang Yuelu replied, turning to look at Wang Jiaoyan, "Your case not only involves the Borneo Provincial Government, but also the Lingnan Provincial Government. I am the second deputy of the Lingnan Provincial Government. The master of the palace is in charge of this matter. Xu Cixi of your Borneo Taoist Palace has also issued a document. Please come with me. "

Wang Jiaoying immediately said loudly: "What document? Has the real person in charge read it?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Deputy Palace Master Wang, do the documents of the Tao Palace have to be read by the real person in charge?"

Wang Jiaoying almost roared: "Zhenren Wang is the real person in charge of the government. He has never even seen it. How can the Taoist government issue a document? Who dares to make the decision privately?"

Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "The second deputy palace master is in charge of the law. This case is within the scope of the second deputy palace master's authority. Whether it is the current Xu Cixi or the former Qi Cici, they all approve it. As for going forward The second deputy palace master has been arrested before, so it doesn’t matter. If only one person has the final say in everything, that’s the way of the Confucian sect.”

Wang Jiaoying knew that he couldn't retreat at this time, and shouted: "The words of the head of the palace don't count, so what does the words of the deputy deputy palace master count? What's more, Deputy Zhang is from Lingnan Daofu, not from our Borneo Daofu. Why did he cross the line and exceed his authority to handle the case? I suspect that there is something fishy about this case. You are not allowed to take people away!"

"Whether I have crossed the line and exceeded my authority, you can report to Jinque and let Jinque decide. I must take people away." Zhang Yuelu resisted sternly, "Come here!"

The leader of the spiritual officials who followed Zhang Yuelu came out in response.

Zhang Yuelu ordered: "Arrest Wang Jiaoyan immediately."

The spiritual official shouted: "Yes!"

"Who dares!" Wang Jiaoying did not give in at all, "I said, no arrests! Come here!"

The spiritual officials who came with Wang Jiaoying also shouted.

Wang Jiaoying ordered: "Guard the whole house, no one is allowed to go out!"

The two teams of spiritual officials, who were not under the same command, confronted each other directly. Although no one dared to use weapons rashly and bear the crime of internal fighting, pushing and shoving was inevitable.

Wang Jiaoying pointed at Zhang Yuelu: "Zhang Qingxiao! You are against the Taoist Palace."

Zhang Yuelu was not afraid at all: "Deputy Palace Master Wang, you are against Jinque."

On the other side, after Qi Xuansu finished the meeting, he was considering whether to go to Shenglong Palace in person. He thought that sending the Taoist Three Xiu should be a sure thing, but he didn't expect that the resistance was far greater than he imagined. It involved fundamental interests, and the title of Three Xiu was useless. He had to fight to the end.

At this time, Qi Xuansu faintly heard Xiao Yin crying.

This is strange.

Although Xiao Yin is a child in mind, he rarely cries, at least Qi Xuansu has never seen it.

However, Xiao Yin's crying sounded different from that of an ordinary child. It was not the kind of crying that would make a scene while rolling on the ground, nor was it the kind of crying that would make a person cry silently. To make an inappropriate analogy, it sounded a bit like crying for a funeral.

The crying sound was very loud, and there were also words like "Why did you leave?"

Qi Xuansu was curious and a little unhappy.

The three yin objects were fine, and Zhang Yuelu was fine too, so why was he crying for a funeral?

This child is really getting more and more worrying.

Qi Xuansu followed the crying sound and said, "I'm not dead yet!"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu saw a person lying in the hall, with a pale face and closed eyes, as if he was a corpse. Xiao Yin was lying on this person's chest and crying.

Qi Xuansu was stunned, and when he looked more carefully, he found that this person was actually Lin Yuanmiao, and he was immediately shocked.

"Old Lin, why did you die?" Xiao Yin cried, "We haven't gotten well yet. If you die, who will play with me?"

Qi Xuansu asked, "What happened?"

Xie Jiaofeng said hurriedly, "Just now when the chief was attending the meeting, this man fell from the sky and landed in front of our Tianfu Palace, and then he fell unconscious. We saw that he had a Taoist certificate on him, and knew that he was one of us, so we carried him to the hall. Unexpectedly, Miss Yin knew this man and burst into tears. We were about to send someone to inform the chief."

Xie Jiaofeng also realized at this time that the "Old Lin" mentioned by Miss Yin was probably also a man of Chief Qi and Deputy Chief Zhang, and his cultivation was not bad. Now he was seriously injured, which meant something.

Qi Xuansu leaned over to check Lin Yuanmiao's injuries. He was shocked to see that Lin Yuanmiao's internal organs were all injured, and his middle and lower dantians were completely destroyed. There was also an extremely sharp sword energy lingering in it, which had not dissipated for a long time and was constantly eroding Lin Yuanmiao's vitality. If Lin Yuanmiao had not inherited the immortal from Lin Lingsu and possessed some immortal qualities, he would have died a long time ago.

Qi Xuansu was secretly surprised. Lin Yuanmiao was a celestial being in the stage of creation and possessed immortal qualities. Ordinary celestial beings in the stage of creation were no match for him. Even if he met a pseudo-immortal, he could run away if he couldn't beat him. He would never fall into such a miserable situation. Did Lin Yuanmiao meet an immortal?

Qi Xuansu thought so and ordered: "Quick, take all the 'Soul-Returning Incense' in the palace. If it's not enough, find someone to borrow it immediately."

Xie Jiaofeng was stunned: "How to borrow it?"

Qi Xuansu frowned slightly and emphasized: "Borrow it in the name of the Taoist Mansion. You borrow it and I will pay it back."

"Yes!" Xie Jiaofeng hurriedly responded and turned away.

Qi Xuansu ordered others: "You should find the people from Huasheng Hall immediately, and Lu, the head, don't investigate any cases for the time being. Inform her to come here immediately and bring the best medicine and equipment."

The heads who were gathered here all accepted the order.

Qi Xuansu finally scolded Xiao Yin: "The person is not dead yet."

Xiao Yin immediately changed his words: "Old Lin, you can't die! We haven't recovered enough..."
