Chapter 75: Killing the Demons and Monsters
It was late at night.
In the Xianyang Palace, the lights were still on in the imperial study.
Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials.
He was a diligent and ambitious emperor.
"There is an assassin!"
"Protect your majesty!"
Suddenly, there was a noisy shout outside the imperial study.
Ying Zheng put down his brush, frowned, and reflected a terrifying light in his tiger eyes. He said to himself: "These monsters can't hold back after all!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, catch them alive!"
"Yes!"
Wang Ben, who was waiting in the dark, walked out of the curtain, clasped his fists heavily, and left with murderous intent.
The implementation of the imperial examination system touched the biggest interest cake of the powerful and wealthy class. Ying Zheng expected that they would definitely take action.
In order to prevent assassinations, he had already laid a net in the Xianyang Palace!
A quarter of an hour later.
The fighting outside stopped.
The palace door opened, and Wang Ben walked in, but his face looked unhappy.
Ying Zheng asked: "Have all the assassins been captured?"
Plop!
Wang Ben knelt down and blamed himself: "Your Majesty, they were all captured, but... I was incompetent and let the nine assassins commit suicide by taking poison!"
"Commit suicide by taking poison?" Ying Zheng's face was gloomy.
If the assassins committed suicide, wouldn't the clues be cut off?
Wang Ben said: "Your Majesty, the nine assassins had poison hidden in their molars. After being captured, they bit the poison and committed suicide!"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Even if the assassins are dead, I must investigate them overnight and find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"Yes!" Wang Ben took the order and left.
Ying Zheng walked outside the imperial study and saw nine black-clad assassins' bodies lined up in the open space in front of him. Their eyes were closed and their lips were black, which was a sign of being poisoned.
Ying Zheng looked at the assassin's body in silence...
The next day, the sun rose.
Wang Ben and the court judge knelt in front of Ying Zheng with red eyes.
Although a lot of manpower and material resources were used and a night of thorough investigation, the mastermind behind the assassination was still not found.
Bang!
Ying Zheng slapped the imperial table and cursed: "A bunch of trash!"
Wang Ben, the court judge and others lowered their heads even lower, not daring to speak!
Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, suppressed his anger, and said:
"Come on, go to my treasury to withdraw 90,000 gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques. I want to visit the owner of Tiandao Tower!"
Before the first imperial examination in spring officially begins, those evil spirits who attempt to obstruct the imperial examination must be dug out, severely punished, and deterred!
Otherwise, whether the first imperial examination can proceed smoothly is an unknown!
Now, only the owner of Tiandao Tower can help Ying Zheng quickly dig out the mastermind behind the assassination of him last night.
"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly took the order and left.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng brought Wang Ben to Tiandao Tower.
At this time, Chen Qilin was having breakfast.
Xiao Hei, who was squatting on the side, saw Wang Ben coming, and stared at Wang Ben with his dark dog eyes.
Xiao Hei remembered the revenge of the last time he snatched food!
He was dissatisfied with Wang Ben, a dry eater!
This rough man, is going to snatch my dog's breakfast again early in the morning? !
Wang Ben felt scared when he noticed Xiao Hei's unfriendly eyes.
More importantly, he felt that he couldn't beat this big black dog!
Don't provoke, don't provoke!
Chen Qilin called out: "Your Majesty, Tongwu Hou, come and have breakfast first, and talk about other things after eating!"
When Ying Zheng, Wang Ben and others came to Chen Qilin, he learned the other party's intention through the system.
"Sir, then I will be disrespectful!" Ying Zheng clasped his fists and said.
He sat down, took a bowl of soy milk and a basket of steamed buns and started eating.
Man is iron and rice is steel.
Although Ying Zheng was angry, he still had to eat.
"Sir, then... I won't be polite!" Wang Ben rubbed his hands and sat down.
Then, he arched his hands to the big black dog and said, "Brother Dog, don't worry, I eat in moderation now, in moderation!"
Wang Ben felt that if he let go of his stomach and finished all the food, the big black dog would probably give him a bite!
Although Wang Ben admitted his defeat, Xiao Hei's eyes were still fixed on him.
Wang Ben had to start eating breakfast "gently".
This time, he only ate 70% full, and there was still a lot of food left on the table.
Xiao Hei finally moved his creepy eyes away from Wang Ben.
After breakfast, Chen Qilin asked Ying Zheng to sit down, handed him a cigar, and asked knowingly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Ying Zheng lit up the cigar, took a puff, and then told the master about the assassination that happened last night, hoping that the master could help him find the mastermind behind it.
At the same time, Ying Zheng asked people to move in the property worth 90,000 gold.
Chen Qilin had asked the system before, and it would cost 15 days of Dao points to find out the mastermind behind these assassins.
The 90,000 gold sent by Ying Zheng was enough.
Chen Qilin waved his hand, and the property disappeared out of thin air, all exchanged for 90 days of Dao points.
He secretly said: "System, spy on the mastermind behind the assassination of Ying Zheng last night!"
[Ding! The mastermind behind the nine assassins in the assassination in the imperial study last night was the son of Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the dynasty, and the powerful and wealthy Xu family, Ma family, He family...]
Chen Qilin was also slightly stunned when he heard the system's spying.
The right prime minister and dozens of noble families were actually involved.
This deal is really big!
"Sir, what's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked.
Chen Qilin then told the First Emperor the news detected by the system.
Teng!
When Ying Zheng learned about this, he stood up suddenly, furious:
"Hmph, Feng Quji, I like you so much that I let you be my right prime minister, but I didn't expect you to repay me like this!"
"Your Majesty, let me chop up that wolf-hearted old thing and feed it to the dogs!" Wang Ben also said angrily.
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, and then he said with murderous intent: "Wang Ben, go and take down Feng Quji's family, the Xu family, the Ma family... all for me, and wait for the court to decide!"
"Yes!" Wang Ben clasped his fists heavily and took the order and left.
A bloody storm will sweep across the Qin court again.
After Ying Zheng said goodbye and left, Chen Qilin sat on the sofa and looked at Xiao Hei who had just finished breakfast.
After thinking about it, Chen Qilin prepared to improve Xiao Hei's strength.
He himself has the fifth level of Jindan realm cultivation, and the pet dog's cultivation is too poor, and he has no face as the owner!
Now, he has 2180 Tiandao points left.
Chen Qilin wanted to upgrade his cultivation from the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm to the sixth level, which required 5,000 Heavenly Dao Points.
He said, "System, buy 1 high-level beast Yuan Dan!"
[Ding! The high-level beast Yuan Dan was purchased successfully, 100 Heavenly Dao Points were deducted, and the balance was 2,080 points. ]
A light golden light flew in front of Chen Qilin, and then turned into a pill that seemed to be carved from light golden amber. The whole body was crystal clear, as warm as jade, and exuded a refreshing pill fragrance.
This is much better than the low-level beast Yuan Dan, it is indeed a high-level product!
Chen Qilin nodded secretly.
Xiao Hei, who was standing aside, stared at the high-level beast Yuan Dan with his eyes, and his saliva flowed all over the floor.
Chen Qilin waved to him: "Come here!"
Xiao Hei hurriedly shook his tail, ran to his master, and squatted down.
"Open your mouth!"
Xiao Hei immediately opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp teeth.
Chen Qilin flicked the high-level beast essence pill into Xiao Hei's mouth.
Buzz~
Soon, Xiao Hei's body emitted bursts of light golden light, flickering...
