Chapter 440 Helian Aodong's Backstage
Emperor Wushang immediately grabbed a handful of fairy rice. The refreshing fragrance was so refreshing that it even dissipated some of the poison.
"Okay, it is indeed top-grade middle-grade fairy rice..."
Emperor Wushang seemed to remember something when he said this, and then he picked up the lavender fairy rice grain from the top of a winnowing basket.
"It is indeed the best quality fairy rice."
Emperor Wushang muttered to himself.
After a while, he looked at Chu Xingren and said, "Flag-bearing Immortal, who planted this immortal rice?"
Chu Xingren was stunned, and was about to say something at random, but he immediately saw the cold look in Emperor Wushang's eyes.
He knew that if he dared to lie, he would really lose his life here today. And if he lied, he would be exposed immediately.
"Emperor, this is to make up for a new immortal planting officer I found later. It was this immortal planting officer who completed the task of planting immortal rice for a month and planted five acres of medium-quality immortal rice."
"What's his name? Where is he?" Emperor Wushang said coldly.
"This man is called Lu Renjia, and he should still be in the Xiannong tribe..." Chu Xingren's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Emperor Wushang sneered, "You, the flag bearer Chu, are really amazing. You can make clouds and rain with just a flip of your hand without even blinking.
If I were not deaf, I would have heard what forbidden technique you just said that this Lu Renjia used to kill all the fairy rice in the fields of the Xiannong Department.
What? Now he has become the one who was just recruited and has even grown medium-quality fairy rice? How did this scapegoat suddenly become a hero? "
Cold sweat streamed down Chu Xingren's forehead, and he wished he could strangle Ji Ti to death.
Couldn't this bastard have sent me a message a moment earlier?
"Your Majesty, I lied because I was worried about being punished. Please punish me." How could Chu Xingren stand still? He fell to his knees.
"Speak." Emperor Wushang was filled with murderous intent, not disguising it at all.
"Yes." Chu Xingren said hurriedly: "Because all the immortal rice in the Immortal Agriculture Department has withered, I was extremely worried. I listened to the advice of my subordinates and found a scapegoat to take the blame."
"Is the person you are looking for Lu Renjia?" Emperor Wushang said coldly.
"Yes, it's Lu Renjia. He came here to take the blame, but I didn't expect that he actually grew medium-grade fairy rice. I am guilty." Chu Xingren knew that he was finished.
"Go and bring Lu Renjia here." Emperor Wushang said.
"Emperor, Lu Renjia left the Xiannong tribe and no one knows where he went." Ji Ti said quickly.
Emperor Wushang's voice became colder and colder: "I asked you to bring people to bring Lu Renjia, so you go and bring him back. If you can't bring him, you will go underground to guard the mine."
Ji Ti and Chen Guan both shuddered and quickly retreated.
Several powerful warriors from the Immortal Court followed the two men without hesitation, obviously also going to capture Lu Renjia.
Emperor Wushang picked up the lavender fairy rice and said, "My fellow fairies, has the fairy planting official who can grow this kind of top-grade fairy rice only grown one grain?"
"Great Emperor, that is absolutely impossible. As long as one grain of this top-grade fairy rice appears, there will be a whole plant of this kind of rice.
That means there is at least one pound of this magical rice. This person only handed over one grain, which is an offense."
The Immortal Prime Minister Bu Yue was the first to step forward and speak.
Emperor Wushang also nodded: "I think so too, come here."
A man in black came out.
"Go to the fields of Lu Renjia from the Xiannong Department and check how much high-quality fairy rice he has grown." Emperor Wushang said.
"Yes." The man in black responded and disappeared in an instant.
Emperor Wushang looked at the three hundred kilograms of fairy rice in front of him and wondered how much he should give to his ministers.
It would not work if they could not tell the difference. The five elements of this fairy rice were clear, and it had a fresh Taoist aura. Everyone present must have been paying attention to it.
Just when Emperor Wushang was about to speak, Luo Yu came out again: "Emperor, Luo Yu has something to say."
Emperor Wushang immediately asked the warrior to take the immortal rice aside and said in a gentle tone, "Brother Pingwei, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Although Wushang is the Emperor of Xianting, Pingwei is also one of the four great emperors, and theoretically is at the same level as Emperor Wushang.
But in fact, the four emperors are also under the dispatch of Emperor Wushang. This is just a dispatch, not an assignment.
Luo Yu took a deep breath and said, "Emperor, I am here today for an unjust case."
Emperor Wushang was also a little stunned. What kind of injustice was worthy of Emperor Pingwei's personal intervention?
"More than a year ago, the husband of Bu Yingyin, daughter of the Immortal Prime Minister, Xiu Lun, died suddenly. Xiu Xu, the flag-bearing Immortal of the Kuishui Tribe, reported Bu Yingyin to the Immortal Court.
Because no one tried the case, the Immortal Court handed it over to Lu Chongdao, the owner of Qianyuan Immortal Manor. As soon as Lu Chongdao took over the case, he was framed and imprisoned in the dungeon..."
Hearing what Emperor Pingwei Luo Yu said, Emperor Wushang's gaze fell on Bu Yue. How come he had never heard of this?
Bu Yue came out quickly and said, "The Great Emperor was in seclusion at the time, and Xian Ying, the flag bearer of the Immortal Law Department, was reluctant to hear the case in order to avoid suspicion.
However, my other colleagues were busy with urgent matters at that time, so I could only ask Lu Chongdao of Qianyuan Xianzhuang, a Sanguan official, to hear the case in the name of the emperor. "
Emperor Wushang understood what Buyue meant. It was obvious that no one wanted to offend Buyue, so no one wanted to try the case.
It is actually true that this case was handed over to the official Lu Chongdao.
While he was in seclusion, it was reasonable for the immortal image of Zuo Mingsi to appoint Lu Chongdao as the chief judge in his name.
Luo Yu said coldly: "But Lu Chongdao had just tried the case and had not even had time to verify it, but he was framed for treason and corruption and was imprisoned. How unfair is this?
I didn't know about this until Lu Chongdao's Taoist partner Helian Aodong came to me not long ago. I then learned that there were such lawless and absurd things in the Immortal Court."
Emperor Wushang looked at Bu Yue.
Bu Yue cursed in his heart, didn't Helian Aodong disappear? How did he find Emperor Pingwei here?
Emperor Pingwei, Luo Yu, this troublemaker, doesn't care whether Bu Yue is an immortal or not.
At this moment, he could only stand up and say, "There is solid evidence that Lu Chongdao was corrupt and committed crimes. The crystal ball has all the records. There is no injustice in this matter."
Luo Yu said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is just one person's words. During your seclusion, I don't know how many such things have happened. If this continues for a long time, my Immortal Court will be in danger."
All the words of Pingwei Emperor Luo Yu were directed at the Immortal Prime Minister Bu Yue. Bu Yue was extremely angry but did not dare to refute.
Even though he looks like an immortal, Emperor Pingwei really dares to beat him.
Emperor Wushang was also cursing Bu Yue for being a pig-brained man in his heart. Why did you have to mess with Emperor Pingwei when you could mess with anyone else?
If Bu Yue knew about this, he would definitely stand up and protest. He really didn't want to offend Emperor Pingwei, but it was Emperor Pingwei who offended him.
Emperor Wushang knew that since Emperor Pingwei had mentioned this matter, he had to give an explanation:
"If that's the case, then let's re-examine the case now. I will personally serve as the presiding judge and bring all the people involved here."
The emperor tried the case personally, and the people below immediately worked faster.
In a short time, Helian Aodong, Lu Bushi, Bu Yingyin, Xiu Xu, Lu Chongdao and others all arrived.
Lu Chongdao looked a little haggard, his eyes full of regret, regretting that he should not have taken over this case.
When he saw Helian Aodong, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, after he fell into the dungeon, it was that woman who came to speak for him.
"grandfather……"
Lu Bu Si shouted.
Lu Chongdao was stunned. He thought that all the people in Qianyuan Xianzhuang had been killed, but he didn't expect that his grandson was still there.
“I don’t want to…” Lu Chongdao couldn’t help but his eyes turned red.
Only at this moment did he realize that family affection was more important than the great way.
When he first learned in prison that Qianyuan Xianzhuang had been massacred, he almost rushed out to kill Bu Yue's family.
But that was just a fantasy after all. Not to mention that he couldn't break out, even if he could, he would not be Bu Yue's opponent.
Bu Yue didn't even need to take action, he could just call on a servant to kill Lu Chongdao instantly.
"Thank you for bringing Bu Si out." Lu Chongdao said tremblingly. He was thanking Helian Aodong.
Helian Aodong ignored him.
Emperor Wushang saw that everyone was present and said slowly, "This matter was caused by Xiu Lun, the son of Xiu Zhangqi. In this case, let Xiu Zhangqi tell us the details."
Xiuxu's eyes were also a little red. He had complained to the emperor once, but the emperor was in seclusion, and the complaint was submitted by the immortal minister Bu Yue.
The person he sued was Bu Yue's daughter, Bu Yingyin. It is conceivable that the result of Bu Yue's filing of the lawsuit would not be good.
This is indeed the case. No one is willing to take up his son's case.
As a result, the fool Lu Chongdao took the case, and he felt like crying but had no tears.
He was very grateful that Lu Chongdao wanted to help him, but if Lu Chongdao took the case, there would be no result.
The facts were exactly as he had guessed, Lu Chongdao got himself into trouble.
The emperor came out of seclusion today to announce something important, and he had made up his mind to file a complaint with the emperor again.
What he didn't expect was that Emperor Pingwei took action first. Although it was to seek justice for Lu Chongdao, it would definitely involve his son's case.
Compared to filing a complaint himself, the success rate of Emperor Pingwei's complaint is many times higher.
