The Minister of Justice Belonged in Prison Too

The Silent Daoist, whose real name is Ye Wanli, is 2,230 years old and currently serves as the sect Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect. During his detention, he attempted to escape from prison, but stopped the escape at his own will, which constitutes an attempted crime. Furthermore, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the authorities, showed remorse and confessed his guilt, and reported his accomplices. According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, he should be given a lighter or reduced punishment and may be exempted from criminal punishment.

Xu Xin, aged 2,232, currently serves as the Minister of Justice in the Great Xia Dynasty. While supervising work in Dayan County, he openly discussed an escape plan with the Silent Daoist, and voluntarily opened the prison cell to release the Silent Daoist. His act of knowingly breaking the law, showing contempt for the law, and attempting a prison break in public has caused extremely negative social impact and should be severely punished.

Mo Danxin silently gave her evaluation of the Silent Daoist and the Minister of Justice.

As expected of the Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect, he sent a minister into the palace as soon as they met, and the Minister of Justice, who was most proficient in law, was no exception.

"Lord Xu, please come in. I will schedule a court hearing for this case at a later date."

According to the provisions on jurisdiction, Mo Danxin is qualified to hear this case.

Lord Xu can be said to be the most knowledgeable person about the law in this dynasty. He knows far more about the theory and practice of law than Mo Danxin. Unfortunately, the old villain Bu Yu's move was too insidious. He tricked him into opening the prison door. He acted impulsively and did not expect the scheme behind it.

Normally, if he lets someone out, no one will say anything, but this time is different. With Mo Danxin being so stubborn and insistent, he really has no grounds for argument.

Since we're in the wrong, we might as well stay in jail for a while and consider it a lesson in life.

Lord Xu snorted coldly, walked into the cell, and glanced at the ethereal-looking, silent Daoist: "Get out of the way, I'll sit here!"

"It's just going to jail, who's afraid of who?"

Everyone came to listen to the story, and the prison was overcrowded, except for the Silent Daoist, whose cell was empty.

The silent Daoist priest wasn't annoyed. He moved to the other side and smiled, welcoming Lord Xu to spend the night in jail with him.

"Lord Xu, from now on we're brothers who've been in jail together. Let's get along well from now on."

"Silent old thief, I think you're tired of living!"

Lord Xu punched the Silent Daoist in the face, but the Silent Daoist dodged it by tilting his head.

The Silent Daoist is not someone to be trifled with; it would be too shameful to remain silent when attacked.

He kicked Lord Xu in the crotch, and Lord Xu's legs snapped shut, trapping the Silent Daoist's foot.

Both of them controlled their power with "perfect" precision, without wasting a single bit of power. All their power was directed at their opponent without any spillage.

The two Integrated Body Peak Stage experts fought fiercely in the prison, with each gaining the upper hand.

The inmates marveled, never expecting to witness two powerful cultivators at the Body Integration Realm battling each other.

Mo Danxin remained silent upon witnessing this scene. Beatings in prison did not constitute a criminal offense, and prison order was the responsibility of the jailers, not his.

He reasoned that both the Silent Daoist and the Minister of Justice were top-tier combatants in the Body Integration Realm, so the average cultivation level of the prisoners in the jail was at the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Record high.

"Lord Mo, someone outside the prison has requested a visitation permit." The jailer jogged over to report to Mo Danxin.

Mo Danxin waved her hand impatiently. "You don't need to ask me about such a trivial matter. Approved."

Every day, countless people come to visit the prison. They say they are visiting, but in reality, they come to deliver food. Some of the food deliverers even linger, squatting at the cell door and listening to the Silent Daoist tell stories.

Mo Danxin thought, "It's that kind of person again."

Upon hearing this, the jailer signaled to his colleague at the prison entrance that they could let the man in.

"By the way, who are they going to visit?" Mo Danxin asked, almost as if possessed.

"Reporting to your question, sir, the visitors claim to be the eldest and fourth disciples of the Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect Master, and they have come to visit him."

Mo Danxin didn't notice that when the jailer said "the eldest disciple of the Ask Dao Sect Master," the two Nascent Body Integration Realm experts in the cell stopped fighting at the same time, a hint of horror flashing in their eyes.

"You summoned Yun Zhi here?!" Lord Xu was a senior official in the court and knew of Yun Zhi's existence. He had beaten his master in front of his disciple. What would the disciple think of him?

The Silent Daoist also lost his temper. "Nonsense! I wrote to the sect asking them to get me out, but usually it's the Fourth Brother who comes over, who knew Xiao Yun would come!"

He couldn't explain why he was afraid, but he was just afraid that Yun Zhi would come.

"The Ask Dao Sect has finally sent someone." Mo Danxin didn't recognize Yun Zhi, but out of politeness, she said, "I'll go outside to meet them."

"No need to trouble you, Lord Mo, we've already arrived." Yun Zhi's cold voice rang out, and before Mo Danxin could react, Yun Zhi and Lu Yang were already standing in front of him.

Shrinking the earth to an inch.

"We've come to visit our master. Where is he?"

Mo Danxin pointed to the cell next to her.

Yun Zhi looked in the direction Mo Danxin was pointing and saw the Silent Daoist sitting in the corner, and then the Minister of Justice sitting next to him.

She remained silent for a long time, unable to figure out what had happened.

My master got into a street fight with the Minister of Justice and was arrested by the officials?

Considering Master's past criminal experience and his relationship with the Minister of Justice, it doesn't seem impossible.

"Senior Sister, who is the person locked up with Master?" Lu Yang asked in a low voice. He saw that Xu Xin was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had an extraordinary demeanor, and his aura was faintly comparable to that of the Silent Daoist, so he must also be an important person.

"Xu Xin, Minister of Justice."

"Hiss--"

Lu Yang thought to himself, "Is the legal system of the Great Xia Dynasty really that comprehensive? Even the Minister of Justice is imprisoned for a crime. I'll have to be careful when I go out in the future, lest I end up like my master and get locked up."

Lu Yang made up his mind that he would study law diligently after returning home in order to avoid imprisonment.

Yun Zhi spoke coldly, looking down at her beloved master. "It's been several months since I last saw you. Master is as energetic as ever, surrounded by countless listeners and enemies. I suppose you're enjoying your life in prison, which puts my mind at ease."

Lu Yang thought to himself, "Senior Sister, you really did this on purpose, didn't you? You were just dragging me to eat, and you ate more than me. Did you have even the slightest bit of concern for Master?"

While it's true that no one needs to worry about the master, the ones who should be worried are those who have been tricked by him.

Seeing that Yun Zhi seemed determined to leave him to his fate, the Silent Daoist quickly said, "Good disciple, you can't just stand by and watch me die! Your master is innocent!"

The Minister of Justice was very experienced in determining whether someone was innocent. "The Great Yu Dynasty has records that when a wronged person was beheaded, it snowed in June. It is June now, so I suggest we behead that old scoundrel Bu Yu once and see if it snows!"

"Xu Xin, you son of a bitch! As the Minister of Justice, can't you act impartially?!" the Silent Daoist roared.

"Yes, but not you. Can you even count how many times you've cheated me? And you expect me to put in a good word for you?"

The battle of the Body Integration Realm once again unfolded in this confined space.

Yun Zhi rubbed her temples in pain. She had only wanted to come out for a walk to clear her head, but why couldn't she find peace?

The second update will be around 11 PM.
