Chapter 310: Freedom of Conscience, Retribution

"Evil son, why don't you retreat immediately!"

Li Tianwang shouted at Nezha, who looked unwilling but said nothing more. He lowered his head and retreated into the ranks of heavenly generals.

Wen Rui sneered and said, "Little Li, there is a saying that if a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Back then, you pretended to sever the father-son relationship and draw a clear line, and let your son commit suicide and fake his death, and put on a show of giving flesh to the mother and bones to the father."

"Aren't you and your father fighting in the battlefield now? Are you a loving father and a filial son in heaven, living in harmony and happiness?"

After confronting Nezha, Wen Rui did not let Li Jing go. He stared at Li Jing and asked, "It seems that he was just acting for me, the imperial inspector. He did everything he could to get away with it."

"Master Wen, I was not acting back then. I was really angry at that evil boy, and I was determined not to protect him..."

Li Tianwang looked embarrassed. Although he was a god, sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Are you kidding me?" Wen Rui frowned and spoke harshly:
"Nezha's master is very powerful and can even perform the art of resurrection. Why didn't he resurrect the victim, the Dragon King's son? Why didn't he resurrect the common people who died tragically in the tsunami?"

"You guys cleaned up Nezha's ass, but you did it so perfunctorily. You just faked his death to cover up the truth, and then he came back to life by using his body as a reborn human."

"This kind of scam is nothing but abuse of power and perversion of the law. It's simply deceiving the heavens!"

At this point, Wen Rui sighed: "It's a pity for the people who suffered from the disaster. They were so ignorant that they thought it was a ruthless natural disaster, but in fact it was a cruel man-made disaster!"

"What's even more infuriating is that the culprit is still at large and has even infiltrated the immortal team."

"The wronged souls of all living beings wanted to file a complaint with the King of Hell, but your disgusting and deceptive actions have left them with no way to seek redress. They don't know who to sue."

Li Tianwang's tall figure shook, and he almost fainted.

He also felt aggrieved. He was not as insidious as Wen Rui said. In order to protect his son, he deceived the people and killed them unjustly.

Even after the disaster, he tried his best to remedy the situation, but because he was unable to do so, he took great risks and asked for help from Wen Rui, a well-known young minister in the court. Only then did he learn very systematic and scientific disaster relief measures, which greatly recovered the losses caused by the tsunami.

It also reduced the evil karma committed by his evil son by more than half.

He and Nezha recognized each other again and resumed their father-son relationship. There was also a public case that was not so pre-planned.

But Wen Rui's words were so convincing that he wanted to refute them but he couldn't produce any evidence. The more he spoke, the more guilty he felt.

After hearing Rui's testimony, Li Tianwang was speechless. He couldn't just go and ask Tathagata, Taiyi Zhenren and other gods and Buddhas to testify, right?
The key point is that even if we can find these witnesses to prove that it was an unintentional mistake, the damages that Wen Rui mentioned are irrefutable evidence and he cannot escape the blame for his evil deeds.

There may be differences in sentencing for intentional homicide and manslaughter, but they are both real crimes. You cannot say that it was an unintentional mistake and thus be exempt from any responsibility.

Even if the laws of heaven allow it, it is against the will of heaven!
The Chan sect may be able to explain the Way of Heaven, but it cannot modify or distort the Way of Heaven.

Creating karma is creating karma, and retribution is retribution. No matter how you explain it, you can hide from it for a while, but you cannot hide from it forever. Retribution will come anyway.

"Forget it. Five hundred years have passed. There is no point in dwelling on the past now."

Wen Rui felt that the time was right, so he raised it high, then gently put it down and took the initiative to change the subject: "You are in a high position now, and I am just an ordinary citizen. I want to redress the grievances of the people, but I am powerless."

At this point, his face darkened and he said solemnly: "However, justice is clear and in the heart of the people. If you and your son have a clear conscience and are not afraid of retribution, then continue to serve as officials in the Heavenly Court and enjoy the glory, and just ignore my words."

"I dare not... My Lord, no, I dare not!"

Li Tianwang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mr. Wen... Brother Wen is right. I will do my best to repay this karma and give justice to the souls of those who died unjustly that year."

After answering Wen Rui's question carefully, Li Tianwang turned around, glared at Nezha and said sternly: "Evil son, if you dare to disrespect your uncle Wen next time you see him, I will not forgive you!" Nezha's face turned black and he was so angry that he wanted to explode but had to hold it back because he was in the wrong.

"This little boy of yours has been a bad boy since he was young. He killed someone when he was three years old and doesn't care about other people's affairs. It's really outrageous."

Wen Rui also chimed in: "The kid is a naughty boy, he's just itching for trouble. If you can't take care of him, I can do it for you and replace his skin with lotus root skin!"

Speaking of changing lotus root skin, Nezha's dark face suddenly turned pale again, and he remembered the time when withering and mildew appeared on his body many years ago.

That was when the two armies were on the battlefield. Wen Zhong invited Lu Yue to help in the battle. All the generals of the Zhou army were sickened by the plague, and only Nezha was immune to the virus.

However, the good times did not last long. After Wen Rui took action, Nezha's skin became ulcerated and fell off. He only came back to life with the help of the magical liquid in the pure bottle of Taoist Cihang.

The past was brought up again, and the dead memories began to attack Nezha. His face turned pale, and he shrank his body in fear and hid behind the heavenly generals.

Looking at his timid appearance, he doesn't look like the most powerful young general in heaven, but rather like a child who has done something wrong.

What does it mean to have a notorious reputation? Back then, Wen Rui was the man who stopped children from crying at night in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Everyone in the Zhou army, from King Wu to the Zhou soldiers, was confused when they saw him.

These two Shang Dynasty rebels, no matter whether they are the king of heaven or the third prince, in front of Wen Rui, they have to coil like dragons, lie down like tigers, and even act like gods.

All the fairies were stunned.

Except for Fairy Yuqiao, one of the Seven Fairies, the rest of the female fairies were just marginalized female employees of the Heavenly Court.

If we compare the Heavenly Palace to a large company, these female fairies are like cleaners, receptionists, factory workers, managers’ secretaries, and members of the art troupe…

Li Jing and Nezha are the director and deputy director of the company's security department.

What is different from the company is that these two have the power of life and death in heaven. Any gods who violate the heavenly rules and dare to resist, regardless of whether they are men or women, can be killed on the spot.

Even if someone is just a suspect, he can be arrested and tortured on the spot. His power is very great.

Especially Nezha, since he has no gender, he will not show mercy just because the other party is a female fairy.

In a sense, he is also a ruthless person who can stop the female fairies in heaven from crying at night.

Such a person was scolded to his face by a mere mortal whom they had despised before, and was scolded severely.

Moreover, it seemed that the mortal had told a lot of incredible secrets. Is it really okay for ordinary female fairies like them, who have no power or background, to listen to the secret past of a big shot?
The female fairies' eyes flickered, conveying information with their eyes, and they all wanted to slip away quietly without making any sound.

However, Li Tianwang's divine eyes had already seen them, and his expression became complicated.

"Which palaces and halls are you from?" Li Tianwang asked in a dignified voice, "Why are you gathered here to surround a mortal man? This is very suspicious. Come on, arrest him and interrogate him!"

"No, we just saw a sister going through a tribulation, so we came to watch the fun..."

"Your Majesty, can't we just leave now?"

"Spare...spare my life..."
