Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1286 - 6: After the Chickens Peck the Grain, the Dogs Lick the Flour, and the Lamp Burns Through the Lock

For others at the Fate Palace Realm, the path ahead is unclear; they cannot see where the path of their cultivation should lead.

Thus, Qin Feng, who had breakthrough experience, rose rapidly in status.

Since the 30th year of Yuan Shou, many people have begun to take the initiative to associate with Beichen King.

Even if Beichen King Qin Feng did nothing, his reputation would grow daily, with many people trying every means to meet him.

Duke Cai was the one who had become the closest with Qin Feng over the years; he was also a doctor at the pinnacle of the Fate Palace Realm.

"Brother Cai, something happened at home, and I ask for your help." Beichen King Qin Feng looked at Cai Jin.

Upon hearing this, Cai Jin was stunned. He had known Qin Feng for many years; the other party had never requested anything, and even when he wanted to do him a favor, he never had the chance. But now, the opportunity had finally come!

"Alright, please speak directly, Brother Qin! I will go through fire and water!"

"Brother Cai, you have experience with the Hou Transformation Technique, and I'd like to ask for your assistance."

"The Hou Transformation Technique, is it? It's a small matter!" Cai Jin smiled and said, "I have cultivated the 'Yin Yang Six Qi Great Transfer' and have quite the expertise in dispelling the Hou Transformation and restoring human form."

How does the medical community view the Hou Transformation Technique? They consider it an illness.

It is simply the disorder of the body's six qi of yin and yang that causes the transformation.

Take ordinary people as an example: some suddenly develop sores during seasonal changes, get pimples, have internal bone pain, or develop bulges, etc.

The Hou Transformation is a pathological change!

The Hou Transformation Technique can be reversed just as an illness can be cured.

Several grotto heavens and outer forces in the Northern Territory often come into direct contact, frequently encountering some evil techniques. Natural disasters often accompany the Hou Transformation, and Cai Jin is a well-known divine doctor in the Northern Territory.

"Thank you, Brother Cai." Qin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It's a small matter, happy to help Brother Qin." Cai Jin humbly replied.

...

Zhao Xing returned directly to Fengjing with a group of Minister of Agriculture Officials who had committed crimes.

Under normal circumstances, these officials would not qualify for Zhao Xing's personal handling.

But this time, Zhao Xing personally dealt with them.

"Lou Zhenyun, as the head of the official Minister of Agriculture of the conquered kingdom, led in making mistakes and shall be executed."

"The rest shall be stripped of their positions, titles, and qi fortune, and imprisoned until death."

Zhao Xing convicted these Minister of Agriculture officials while sitting across from Heavenly Official Dong Wenzhuo and Ministry of Justice Wu She.

The chief of the Heavenly Official is led by the Right Minister Dong Wenzhuo.

The Ministry of Justice's chief is Wu She, whom Zhao Xing also knew. He brought criminals to Li Boqian back when he was cultivating the Chicken-Dog Transformation.

Now Wu She has become one of the six department heads.

For such internal officials, executions are usually formalities, just notifying Dong Wenzhuo and Wu She. Unless it's an outrageous verdict, any independently judged by the Grand Minister of Agriculture will be approved directly.

Wu She, as the Ministry of Justice head, should conduct a review, but in this matter, he only executed it since the people brought here were already decided.

So he offered no opinion.

Dong Wenzhuo, being mature and prudent, still asked, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, these officials were captured from Beichen Country, their crimes are conclusive and cannot be pardoned."

"However, shouldn't we ask Beichen King about it?"

No wonder Emperor Wu wanted to warn Beichen King; even Dong Wenzhuo thought it was necessary to ask Beichen King to see if they should give him face and offer an opportunity to use the King's Decree of Amnesty.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing became furious, immediately stood up and harshly said, "There's no need to ask Beichen King about this matter. Mr. Dong only needs to remove these names from the soul book at the Heavenly Official!"

"Beichen Country's current chaos, although not directly ordered by him, is a result of his indulgence!"

"Even Beichen King must come to the capital to confess! If he can't escape punishment, how can he talk about pardoning others?"

Having said that, Zhao Xing stormed out angrily.

However, upon stepping outside, he quickly resumed his usual demeanor.

The anger was merely to show his stance, letting Dong and Wu know there was no room for negotiation.

In the workplace and officialdom, sometimes anger is not genuine but a way to express an attitude.

Inside, Dong Wenzhuo wore a troubled expression: "Imprisoning them and executing them is easy enough, but as the Right Minister, I still need to send officials to govern Beichen Country, sigh."

Wu She still gave no opinion, simply cupping his hands before taking his leave.

Just as he had planned before entering: to only listen, execute, and not offer any comments.

In the conflict involving a Super Rank King and the Grand Minister of Agriculture, he wasn't going to get involved. Whoever was sent to the Ministry of Justice, he would execute.

...

"Big brother, what assurance do you have that Beichen King will definitely come to the capital to confess?" Ji Che curiously asked within the Imperial Palace.

"I turned his queen into a chicken, and his brother-in-law into a dog, sealing them within the Royal Palace," Zhao Xing explained.

"If he wants to break the sealing technique, there's only one way, which is to forcefully break it, but doing so will certainly result in the deaths of those two."

Zhao Xing elaborated on what he witnessed and his handling methods in Beichen Country.

"You transformed a mountain of rice and a mountain of noodles, and then set fire to burn the locks; what does this mean?" Ji Che asked.

"Aside from the mountain of rice and noodles, that chicken and that dog cannot eat anything else," Zhao Xing replied. "I can't let them starve to death; otherwise, forcing Beichen King to confess would be meaningless."

"Beichen King's original intentions have not changed, he remains loyal to the Great Zhou. In today's era, for him to be the first to achieve the Rule Realm, becoming one of the Great Zhou's eight Super Ranks, is truly remarkable."

"Since he hasn't betrayed the country, he shouldn't be killed. As His Majesty previously instructed, a warning is all that's needed."

"Based on this, I left room for maneuver, without going to the extreme."
