Bu Yu Taoist, real name Ye Wanli, 2230 years old, currently holds the position of Sect Leader of the Seek Tao Sect. During his detention, he attempted to escape but stopped due to his own will, constituting a cessation of crime. Moreover, he turned himself in, showed remorse, and reported his accomplices. According to the criminal law, he should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment, and can be exempted from criminal punishment.

Xu Xin, 2232 years old, currently holds the position of Minister of Justice in the Great Xia Dynasty. During his work in Dayan County, he openly discussed an escape plan with Bu Yu Taoist and voluntarily opened the prison cell to release him. He knowingly broke the law, showing contempt for it. His public escape attempt has caused extremely adverse social impacts and should be severely punished.

Mo Danxin silently evaluated Bu Yu Taoist and the Minister of Justice.

As expected of the Sect Leader of the Seek Tao Sect, he managed to get a minister imprisoned upon their first meeting, and it was the Minister of Justice who was most knowledgeable about the law.

“Minister Xu, please enter. I will schedule a court hearing for this case.”

According to jurisdiction regulations, Mo Danxin can preside over this case.

Minister Xu is arguably the most knowledgeable person about the law in the dynasty. He knows much more about legal theory and practice than Mo Danxin. However, he was tricked by the cunning Bu Yu Taoist into opening the prison cell door. He acted impulsively without considering the scheme behind it.

Normally, if he let someone out, no one would say anything. But this time was different. With Mo Danxin being so persistent, he really didn’t have the upper hand.

Since he was in the wrong, he might as well spend some time in jail to experience life.

Minister Xu snorted coldly and walked into the cell. He glanced at the Taoist-looking Bu Yu Taoist: “Move aside, I’m sitting here!”

“Who’s afraid of being in jail?”

Everyone came to listen to the story, and the cell was overcrowded, only Bu Yu Taoist’s place was empty.

Bu Yu Taoist was not annoyed, he moved to the other side, welcoming Minister Xu to join him in jail with a smile.

“Minister Xu, from now on, we are brothers who have been in jail together. We should get along well in the future.”

“Bu Yu, you old thief, I think you’re tired of living!”

Minister Xu punched at Bu Yu Taoist’s face, but Bu Yu Taoist dodged it by tilting his head.

Bu Yu Taoist was not someone to be trifled with. If he didn’t fight back when attacked, it would be too embarrassing.

He kicked Minister Xu in the crotch. Minister Xu quickly closed his legs, trapping Bu Yu Taoist’s foot.

Both of them controlled their power to a “perfect” degree, without any waste. All the power would hit the opponent, without any overflow.

The two peak Body Fusion powerhouses started fighting in the cell, each having their own victories.

The cellmates marveled, they didn’t expect to see two Body Fusion powerhouses fighting today.

Seeing this, Mo Danxin remained silent. Fighting in the cell did not violate the criminal law, and the order in the cell was the responsibility of the jailers, not his.

What he was thinking was that both Bu Yu Taoist and the Minister of Justice were top combatants in the Body Fusion stage. By this calculation, the average cultivation level of the prisoners in the cell was at the Divine Transformation stage.

A new historical high.

“Sir Mo, someone outside has applied to visit the prison.” A jailer ran over to report to Mo Danxin.

Mo Danxin waved his hand, somewhat impatient: “You need to ask me about such a small matter, let them in.”

Every day, countless people came to visit the prison. They said they were visiting, but in fact, they were just bringing food. Some of them even lingered and squatted at the cell door, listening to Bu Yu Taoist’s storytelling.

Mo Danxin thought it was another one of those people.

Upon hearing this, the jailer signaled his companion at the entrance of the prison, indicating that they could let the person in.

“By the way, who are they visiting?” Mo Danxin asked on a whim.

“Sir, the visitors claim to be the first and fourth disciples of the Sect Leader of the Seek Tao Sect, and they are here to visit the Sect Leader of the Seek Tao Sect.”

Mo Danxin didn’t notice that when the jailer said “the first disciple of the Sect Leader of the Seek Tao Sect”, the two Body Fusion powerhouses in the cell stopped fighting, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

“You brought Yun Zhi here?!” Minister Xu, an old official in the court, knew about Yun Zhi’s existence. He was beating her master in front of her, how would she see him?

Bu Yu Taoist also panicked: “Nonsense, I wrote to the sect asking them to get me out, but usually it’s the fourth disciple who comes, who knew Yun Zhi would come!”

He couldn’t explain why he was afraid, but he was afraid of Yun Zhi coming.

“The Seek Tao Sect has finally sent someone.” Mo Danxin didn’t know Yun Zhi. Out of courtesy, he said, “I’ll go out to meet them.”

“There’s no need, Sir Mo, we’re already here.” Yun Zhi’s cold voice came. Before Mo Danxin could react, Yun Zhi and Lu Yang were already standing in front of him.

Instantaneous movement.

“We’re here to visit our master, where is he?”

Mo Danxin pointed to the cell next to him.

Yun Zhi followed the direction of Mo Danxin’s finger and saw the silent Taoist sitting in the corner, as well as the Minister of Punishments sitting next to him.

She was silent for a long time, completely unable to understand what had happened.

Did her master and the Minister of Punishments have a street fight and get arrested?

Considering her master’s past criminal record and his relationship with the Minister of Punishments, it didn’t seem impossible.

“Senior Sister, who is the person locked up with Master?” Lu Yang asked quietly. He noticed that Xu Xin was dressed extravagantly, with an extraordinary demeanor, and his aura seemed to rival that of the silent Taoist. He must be a big shot.

“The Minister of Punishments, Xu Xin.”

“Hisss——”

Lu Yang thought to himself, is the legal system of the Great Xia Dynasty so perfect that even the Minister of Punishments can be locked up? He must be careful when he goes out in the future, lest he ends up like his master, locked up by someone.

Lu Yang made up his mind to study the law diligently when he returned, to avoid the disaster of prison.

Yun Zhi’s voice was cold, she looked down at her good master: “It’s been several months since I last saw you, Master. You are as energetic as ever, with countless listeners and enemies accompanying you. I suppose you are enjoying your life in prison, and I am relieved.”

Lu Yang thought to himself, Senior Sister, you must be doing this on purpose, right? You just dragged me to eat, and you ate more than me. Did you show any concern for Master?

Although it’s true that Master doesn’t need anyone to worry about him, the ones who should be worried are those who have been tricked by Master.

Seeing Yun Zhi’s attitude of letting him fend for himself, the silent Taoist quickly said: “Good disciple, you can’t just stand by and watch me die! I am innocent!”

The Minister of Punishments was very experienced in determining whether someone was wronged: “The Great Yu Dynasty has a record that when a wronged person is beheaded, it snows in June. It is now June, I suggest we behead the silent old thief once to see if it can snow!”

“Xu Xin, you bastard! As the Minister of Punishments, can’t you act impartially!” the silent Taoist shouted angrily.

“I can, but you are the exception. How many times have you tricked me? Do you expect me to speak well of you?”

The Body Fusion stage battle once again unfolded in this narrow space.

Yun Zhi rubbed her temples in pain. She had wanted to go out and relax, but why couldn’t she get some peace?

The second update will be around eleven o’clock.
