Chapter 775 Concession
"Death in return?"

"A Grand Master replaces a Grand Master, a Grand Master replaces a Grand Master. They can be high but not low. One life for another. If you can avoid the death penalty, the living crime can be dealt with easily."

Liang Qu was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say for a moment.

half an hour.

“Why is there such a rule?”

"concession."

"concession?"

The old monk laughed: "If a prince breaks the law, is he really guilty of the same crime as a commoner?"

Liang Qu remained silent.

“Human power is limited, so there are families, clans, villages, and countries. Husbands and wives can divorce, and bloodlines can be separated. People’s hearts are not the same, greed is insatiable, and unity must be compromised.

When one side is more powerful, the other side must give in. There is a saying that one should sacrifice one's life in exchange for death, so as not to force the other side into a desperate situation and cause them to completely turn against one's side. If this had not been done, what do you think would have happened to Master Jian?"

Liang Qu thought about it for a moment and the answer immediately came to his mind.

"Keep it secret forever. If it is discovered, you will die and join the Ghost Mother Cult or the Great Snow Mountain."

"Is there such a move?"

"An old master of the Jian family in Qingzhou died. Jian Zhongyi returned to Qingzhou and waited for the right opportunity?"

"Of course."

It’s so…

"Will the old master of the Jian family be willing?"

"At this point, most of the time, we have prepared a way out. The Jian family already has three Zhenxiang. Whether they are willing or not, I'm afraid it is not up to that elder to choose."

"Master, you..."

Liang Qu knew that the old monk came to hunt down the evil monk, and when he heard about this...

Vajra King.

"Go and have a look, find out what's going on, and get to the bottom of it." The old monk put his hands together, "The way of disaster energy should not exist in the world. I want to get rid of it as soon as possible, but it is involved with the evil monk, so he must be aware of my existence, so I will definitely hold back."

"it is good!"

"I'll go with you!" Long Eying said, "Since the other party has reached the Grandmaster level, there will be a lot of danger."

Liang Qu had no objection.

The two men rode together on Chishan Mountain and arrived at the Pingyang government office in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the entire government office was surrounded by people, who were talking about everything. It was as crowded as a tide.

"Lord Jian is a good official. Pingyang Prefecture is governed so well. Is there any injustice in the middle?"

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. How do you know he is a good person?"

"Are those roundworms in your stomach?"

"Hey! Master Liang is here!"

Yixing Town is very close to Pingyang Prefecture, and because of Liangqu's reputation, everyone in the prefecture also calls it that.

Liang Qu had no time to greet people: "Please make way for me, fellow villagers, and let me in!"

"Master Liang, find out everything and come out and tell us!"

"If you can speak, you will speak naturally."

"Okay, hurry up, make way, make way, don't block the way of Mr. Liang and Madam Liang!"

Hey!
The crowds parted.

Liang Qu paid a brief attention to the person who was shouting, and then he and Long Eying quickly jumped into the government office.

When the clerk on duty saw Liang Qu, he did not stop him and let him go.

All the way to the central hall.

"The people are all weird..."

Liang Qu looked around.

The high hall of the government office of Pingyang Prefecture now had Gongye Kaifei, the leader of the Three Judicial Departments, sitting on it, with the "Palace Lord" Jian Zhongyi kneeling in the center, and people from the Demon Hunting Department and the River and Lake Office all surrounding him on both sides.

Behind Xu Yuelong, Ran Zhongshi, Ran Ying, Xiang Fangsu and others were all there.

A group of high-ranking officials were there to watch, looking as if they were trying to intimidate the officials. I have never seen such a thing before.

Ke Wenbin caught a glimpse of Liang Qu waving quietly.

Liang Qu brought Long Eying along and tried to integrate into the group as low-key as possible.

Jian Zhongyi looked straight ahead as he continued explaining his ideas.

"Where did you go this afternoon? You almost missed the big show!" Ke Wenbin asked. "I went to Jiangchuan County to check it out. Is the trial going on now? How far has it progressed?"

"We have only interrogated a small part of him. You are lucky. Gongye Kaifei did not dare to interrogate the Grandmaster. He waited until all the people from the Hebo Division and the commander of the Monster Hunting Division were present before he started."

"What happened? The dam in Huazhu County collapsed. Was it really caused by... the mansion master Jian?"

"From what we can tell right now, Jian Zhongyi said that the third leader of the Shahe Gang was actually influenced by the secret technique of the Great Snow Mountain, the 'Treasure of Greed, Anger and Ignorance', which magnified his inner tyranny and self-destructive tendencies, and that's why he did the destructive act. So the root cause lies with him."

"What's the purpose?"

"It is the best and long-lasting energy that he used to break the Grandmaster's power. He didn't collect all of it when the dam collapsed, only most of it. He barely collected it all during the Tianshui Morning Dew, the Water Tribe War, and last year when he defeated the Ghost Mother Cult."

Liang Qu was shocked.

“Why do you want to admit it?”

"He said that he was also bewitched by Greed, Anger and Ignorance. He became a master, connected with heaven and earth, and finally woke up after his spirit became clear. Before that, he even killed the evil monk who bewitched him. As a container for collecting qi, he was overwhelmed by greed and could not control himself."

"Do you believe it?"

"It sounds like it's going to be something serious. Who knows? Anyway, you asked this before you came here, so just keep listening."

Jian Zhongyi in the center was dressed in a scarlet official uniform and an official hat. He spoke meticulously. After he finished his self-narration, he bowed to the north and took off his official hat.

"I, a guilty minister, have failed the emperor, failed the common people, and failed all the people in the world!"

There was no crying, no sadness, and he even seemed somewhat calm.

Gongye Kaifei, who was sitting in the hall, felt very uncomfortable and didn't know how to continue the trial for a while.

The young masters of noble families present all came from the imperial capital's wealthy families. Which one of them was not well-informed? What strange and bizarre things had they not seen?

I haven't seen this today.

There was almost no need for an interrogation, as it was almost entirely Jian Zhongyi's candid statement, and the chief clerk just had to write down everything.

"I already know the whole story. Your bowl..."

Jian Zhongyi took out a large exquisite bowl from his arms and placed it on the clerk's tray.

Liang Qu's eyes narrowed slightly.

To be honest, if it weren't for the patterns on the surface, it would be hard to tell that it was a human skull. Most of it was hollowed out and carved, and inlaid with black spells, like an exceptionally fine work of art.

"The magic bowl is used to collect disaster and misfortune. The higher the cultivation, the better. The one with martial bone aptitude is even better. I once coveted the skulls of Liang Hengwei, Guan Baihu, and Qi Xingti. Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Tiansheng Wugu in the field.

Liang Qu felt his scalp tingling when facing the gazes of his colleagues.

Is there such a thing?
Long Eying held Liang Qu's hand, clasped their fingers together, and pulled him behind her.

Full of security.

Xiang Fangsu and others looked at him with disdain.

Gongye Kaifei asked a lot of details.

Throughout the whole process, Jian Zhongyi looked like a repentant man and did not take the initiative to mention the matter of "dying in exchange for repayment".

"Have you already planned this?"

Liang Qu listened carefully, his brows gradually furrowed. He gradually remembered some details that he had not noticed before, most of which he learned from the second generation such as Ran Zhongshi.

First, there are three masters in the Jian family of Qingzhou, and the direct ancestor of Jian Zhongyi's lineage is more than 300 years old.

Secondly, his direct ancestor was rumored to have committed the act of "stealing ashes", and the object was Jian Zhongyi's mother!
I forgot who it was, it seemed to be Xiang Fangsu, who said that in the imperial examination in the past, the top scorer should have been Magistrate Jian, but because of rumors, the Holy Emperor considered the bad influence and changed it to runner-up!
Third, Jian Zhongyi paid a large sum of money to buy the Shoubao.

Liang Qu wasn't quite sure where the Shoubao had gone, but since things had come to this point, there was no need to understand.

A person whose life is over and a newly promoted master, even if Jian Zhongyi didn't mention it, the other two Zhenxiang of the Jian family would probably take the initiative to "ask for it", right?

Did Jian Zhongyi want to get rid of his ancestor for a long time?

Recycling waste, achieving multiple goals at one stroke...

The more Liang Qu thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more frightened he became.

And there may be more to the story!

Jian Zhongyi probably knew about the existence of the old monk, Vajra King, a man of temperament, how should he...

The whole story was made clear, and even though his colleagues in Pingyang Prefecture were extremely shocked, the interrogation was gradually coming to an end.

After signing and sealing the matter, the three judicial officials ordered the clerks to take him to jail.

However, before the shackles could be put on him, Jian Zhongyi kowtowed three times toward the north again.

"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and allow this guilty minister to live on in the world to atone for my sins. I do not seek to save my life, but only hope to use the nature of disaster energy to find out the benefits and harms, and eliminate the disasters, so as to be worthy of the people of the world!"

"Get rid of the evil?" Gongye Kaifei was like a frightened bird today, and he subconsciously straightened his back. "What evil is it? Don't hide it, tell me quickly!"

"The Great Snow Mountain wants to sacrifice blood to the Blue Lake, pollute the Huai River, and create a human god again!"
