Chapter 257: Corruption and perversion of the law, officials protecting each other, is there any law or discipline? ! 【Third update! 】
"Elder Luo is also an old man of Wufangdian, and his hard work is not small."
"The Law Enforcement Hall wants to arrest him. Is there any evidence?"
Chen Jichuan could not let Luo Pu be taken away so easily.
Want to arrest someone?
Can.
However, to catch a traitor or a thief, you must provide real evidence.
"Dai Zhenren, Guan also acted under orders."
Guan Chao looked a little ugly, but he still took out a book from his arms and handed it to Chen Jichuan.
Chen Jichuan took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed full of evidence of Luopu's corruption and power-seeking, including witness testimonies, as well as the properties that Luopu had purchased privately in the wilderness.
Several of the industries looked familiar to Chen Jichuan, as they were jointly developed by him and Luo Pu.
"What a greedy person."
Chen Jichuan was shocked by what he saw. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Luo Pu, and saw that the latter's eyes were full of pleading.
"Alas!"
Chen Jichuan couldn't help but sigh.
In any case, Luopu had taken care of the Wuling Mountain Alliance for him over the years and shared a large amount of profits with him. He at least wanted to save his life.
Chen Jichuan closed the book and looked at Guan Chao: "May I ask Palace Master Guan if you have verified all the contents in this book one by one?"
"Guan came here this time, firstly, to ask Elder Luo to go back and cooperate with the investigation, and secondly, to seize all private properties here."
Guan Chao explained.
"Yeah."
"Then check first to see how true these are."
Chen Jichuan handed the booklet back to Guan Chao together with the 'Dragon Binding Rope' he had just taken away. Speaking of this 'dragon binding rope', Chen Jichuan was quite interested.
As far as he knows.
The 'Dragon Binding Rope' and the 'Dragon Locking Well' used to suppress demons and criminals in the Hall of Law Enforcement are a set of treasures.
The twelve dragon-binding ropes can be taken out individually without any need to be sacrificed. If thrown out, they can bind the sixth-level or even seventh-level heavenly beings. If you take the demon, rebel, and throw yourself into the "Longjing Well", you will never be able to stand up again.
The ‘Dragon Binding Rope’ is not afraid of being lost either.
As long as the 'Dragon Locking Well' is still there, if the well is activated, the 'Dragon Binding Cable' can be recalled even though it is thousands of miles away.
Because of this, the Law Enforcement Palace was relieved to let Guan Chao take him out.
Moreover, it had just been lost, and Guan Chao was not in a hurry at all.
It's just that although this cable is extraordinary, it is so delicate that Guan Chao cannot control it in detail. Chen Jichuan circled the "Da Luo Tian Sleeve" and put it into his sleeve.
But there was nothing he could do.
"Dai Zhenren——"
Guan Chao took the booklet and the dragon-tying rope, frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Jichuan.
He thought to himself that even though he had already given a lot of face, Dai Zong still seemed to want to intervene, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"Master Guan, there is no need to be embarrassed."
"After the investigation is completed, the case will be convicted as it should be, and Dai will never interfere."
Chen Jichuan rushed to Guan Chaodao.
"Thank you, Mr. Dai, for your understanding!"
When Guan Chao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Without caring about anything else, he directly ordered to Zhang Jian, Shen Lin and others: "Everyone should take action. Check the positions recorded in the document one by one. Don't miss any one!"
"Yes!"
The four palace elders and thirty-two guardian elders accepted the order in unison, saluted Chen Jichuan, and dispersed in all directions.
The inner formation of the base camp suddenly became deserted.
Chen Jichuan looked at Luo Pu and said with a smile: "This is Elder Luo's home court. We can't let Dai and Hall Master Guan stand outside, right?"
"Luo was negligent."
"Master Dai, Master Guan, please come inside."
Luo Pu understood and quickly invited Chen Jichuan and Guan Chao to take a seat. Guan Chao glanced at Chen Jichuan, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not refuse.
……
In a flash, more than ten days passed.
Taimu Mountain, Law Enforcement Hall.
Zhang Wuya sat at the top, listening to Guan Chao's report, his face gradually darkened.
After Guan Chao finished speaking, Zhang Wuya sneered: "Are you saying that the properties purchased by Luo Pu were either taken over by evil gods and demon kings, or were abandoned?"
"That's right."
"Guan guessed that either Luopu was ventilated in advance, or the evidence was untrue."
Guan Chao nodded and replied.
"Ha!"
"The crime is not true?"
Zhang Wuya glanced at Guan Chao and sighed: "Brother Guan, what else can I hide? What happened? Only the sect leader and a few Supreme Elders know about our actions against the three major caves this time. Six The operations in Caves No. 7 and No. 7 were perfect, and they were all captured. There was no reason for Luo Pu to get the news in advance.”
Zhang Wuya stared at Guan Chao.
Guan Chao was silent for a moment, hesitated, and then said: "When Guan arrived at Cave No. 5, Dai Zong was also there."
"Dai Zong?"
"'Jade-faced Master' Dai Zong?"
"Isn't he in Cave No. 2?"
Zhang Wuya was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Guan Chao: "Is it because of Dai Zong that Brother Guan let Luo Pu go?"
"The evidence was destroyed."
"There is no need to offend Dai Zong for nothing for a dying man."
Guan Chao's words were tantamount to admission.
What he was thinking was indeed what he said——
Luopu is now in his early nine hundred years old and will not live more than a hundred years.
Dai Zong was powerful and well-connected, and Guan Chao was unwilling to offend a figure like Dai Zong just to catch a Luopu.
after all.
It was Zhang Wuya who wanted to manipulate Luopu, not him.
Therefore, even if some traces left by Luo Pu's careless actions were found in Cave No. 5, he just pretended not to know and let Zhang Jian, Shen Lin and others secretly erase them one by one.
Who can cultivate to the second level, who is not a human spirit?
Seeing Chen Jichuan's strong defense of Luo Pu, not only Guan Chao, but also Zhang Jian, Shen Lin and other elders in charge of the palace, including those protecting the law, also guessed something.
When acting, it is inevitable that the hands and feet will be a little too nimble.
Zhang Jian and others were trying to repay the favor, perhaps with a hint of flattery.
Guan Chao simply didn't want to offend anyone or cause trouble.
"Where is Luop now?"
Zhang Wuya guessed Guan Chao's thoughts and didn't criticize him harshly. He just asked.
"The master of the palace still wants to arrest Luo Pu?"
Guan Chao frowned slightly and said kindly: "Dai Zong died and Paul Pu was involved. There must be a lot of involvement between the two. If Luo Pu is to be arrested, Dai Zong will not stand by and watch."
"Hmph!"
"How dare you, a small fifth-layered heaven, even the head of the Five-Fang Palace, to hinder the master of this palace from enforcing laws and disciplines?!"
Zhang Wuya chuckled coldly and said to Guan Chao: "I understand what Brother Guan means. This time I will catch him myself, but I want to see if Dai Zong dares to stop him!"
This is his last major action since he became the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. He will step down from his post and follow the example of his predecessors in abdicating the throne and becoming a leisurely elder.
It would not be complete if Luop was allowed to go unpunished.
As for Dai Zong.
Guan Chao did not dare to offend Dai Zong.
But he was not afraid.
He is just a palace elder with seventh-level combat power. That little connection is a bit troublesome in the eyes of a person of Guan Chao's level, but for the master of a palace, it is nothing more than that.
In the Butian Sect, Zhang Wuya is the Dharma!
……
Taimu Mountain, Qingniu Peak.
Chen Jichuan has been away all year round. In the mountain gate, the only thing that belongs to him is this small mountain peak given by the sect after he became a true disciple.
Usually no one lives here.
Only when he occasionally came back for funerals, Chen Jichuan would stay at Qingniu Peak for a few days.
So too lazy to replace it.
After bringing Luop back from Cave No. 5, the two of them temporarily stayed at Qingniu Peak.
"Relax."
"Guan Chao found nothing in Cave No. 5. Even if Zhang Wuya intends to target you, he can't catch you without evidence."
Chen Jichuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Pu's dull eyes.
Luopu did not think about the consequences when he took bribes and perverted the law before, and he was not afraid of even the most extreme corruption. This time, Guan Chao almost tied him up with the 'Dragon Binding Rope' and threw him into the 'Dragon Locking Well'. Only then did he realize his fear.
Chen Jichuan watched from the sidelines as Luo Pu's face changed three times a day, as if he was watching a drama from "The Reveal of a Corrupt Official".
Really interesting.
"If I had known today, why bother in the beginning."
Chen Jichuan wanted to say this.
But if you think about it carefully, he is also one of the "corruption criminals". Being far away in Cave No. 2, they can’t give up the huge profits in Cave No. 5, so what qualifications do they have?
"Greed is the original sin."
Chen Jichuan sighed secretly, seeing Luo Pu staring blankly outside Qingniu Peak, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.
Just let him think about it.
He himself drank tea and admired the scenery, feeling content and contented.
It's strange that one of them is sad and the other is leisurely.
It's evening soon.
Chen Jichuan suddenly raised his head, looked at the mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that this Master Zhang is really impatient."
"Master Zhang?"
Luo Pu was excited after hearing this and quickly followed Chen Jichuan's gaze.
really.
Light flashed in the distance, and before anyone could react, an old man in black robe appeared outside Qingniu Peak. Standing on five real dragons, you can overlook Chen Jichuan and Luo Pu in Qingniu Peak.
"Zhang Wuya!"
Luopu recognized at a glance that this extremely majestic and menacing old man was Zhang Wuya, who had worked with him in the Five Directions Palace.
Just compared to before.
The old man in front of him is even more coercive and cannot be violated.
Putting his hands behind his back and stepping on the five dragons, he was even a little breathless.
"Roop."
"You have committed corruption and dereliction of duty and have committed countless crimes. Why don't you quickly follow the master of this palace back to the Law Enforcement Hall to plead guilty?!"
Zhang Wuya's voice was loud and resounded throughout the mountain.
"Zhang Wuya! Don't spit on anyone!"
"Deputy Palace Master Guan has investigated and found that the charges are all false!"
Luo Pu looked up at Zhang Wuya, his aura was already lacking.
A condescending and indifferent inquiry.
One raised his head and argued in fear.
The former one is one of the six masters of the Butian Sect and a giant of the sect.
The latter one is just the elder of the First Hall of the Five Directions Hall, a twilight old man from the Sixth Heaven!
"Master Zhang."
"A few days ago, Guan Chao led his people to personally investigate the No. 5 crypt, and it was proved that the crimes reported by the Law Enforcement Hall were uncountable. I wonder why he came to question Elder Luo again this time?"
Seeing Luopu being oppressed, Chen Jichuan stood up, came to Luopu's side, looked at Zhang Wuya and asked.
Also looking up.
Chen Jichuan seemed calm and unhurried, and his magnanimity was not inferior to that of Zhang Wuya.
"Who did I know? It turned out to be the Jade-faced Master!"
Zhang Wuya seemed to have just seen Chen Jichuan and said loudly: "The master of this palace is enforcing the law. Please step aside for the time being, Elder Dai, and do not interfere with official duties."
Said.
Zhang Wuya waved his sleeves as if to shoo away a fly.
At the same time, his five fingers formed claws and he grabbed Luopu in the mountain.
