Chapter 2775: Kill the Minister of Rites, you have such a strong taste!

As soon as the words were spoken, the majestic and majestic Haoran righteousness soared into the sky, like a cloud pillar, making the eyes of Emperor Yuan Jing and the ministers sparkle, and Xu Zisheng's figure disappeared in the imperial study room in an instant.

Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, felt uneasy and uneasy. Xu Zisheng's confidence and determination gave him a vague premonition.

"Your Majesty, Xu Zisheng has no holy eyes and has offended the power of heaven. Please punish him severely!"

Emperor Yuan Jing originally didn't believe Xu Zisheng's words, thinking that he was framed by Li Yulang. But now that he saw the reaction of the Minister of Rites, he became suspicious. His eyes narrowed into a slit, and his sharp gaze fell on Li Yulang like a sword. He looked extremely calm and said calmly.

"Don't be impatient. Didn't Xu Aiqing say it takes a while? Everyone just wait!"

A sudden thought occurred in the Minister of Rites, knowing that he should not be so impatient. He bowed his head in response and did not dare to make any further moves. He did not believe that Xu Zisheng could really find Zhou Chixiong in the vast sea of ​​people, even if he was a second-grade scholar. It is difficult to achieve such a situation.

"Unless he has entered the first level of Confucianism and Taoism, the sub-sage realm, finding someone to hide in the Nine Provinces Continent is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky and looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't need to be nervous, just wait for the result!"

The other ministers also had calm expressions and stood quietly on the spot, making eye contact from time to time. A strange atmosphere echoed in the imperial study.

In Yunzhou, among the vast mountains, a large village was built against the mountains. Continuous lights dotted the dark night. The stronghold was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it occupies a favorable location. When the stronghold was first built, the government would send troops to encircle and suppress it. After several defeats, they turned a blind eye.

The banditry in Yunzhou is serious, with countless bandits and bandits robbing homes and homes. The people have been in poverty for a long time, and the government has been suffering from headaches for decades.

However, decades have passed, and the officials and people of Yunzhou have gradually become accustomed to it. There are ways of living in chaotic areas.

The bright sun is high, the mountain wind is blowing fiercely and violently, and the leaden clouds are hanging low, giving off a feeling of depression. After a while, there was lightning and thunder, and it started pouring rain in the mountains.

On the arrow tower, the bandit who was on guard endured the cold raindrops that were blowing in, and looked towards the stockade with some envy. Today, there was another big deal in the stockade, and a caravan was robbed. Silk, tea, porcelain, valuables There are many items.

This is all due to the new Sixth Master in the village, who has excellent martial arts skills, is proficient in the art of combined attacks, and is very good at training troops. It is said that the sixth head of the family was born in the military. He used to work in the capital of Dafeng. Later, because he couldn't stand the corruption of the imperial court, he simply turned into a bandit.

At this moment, there was a celebration banquet going on in the village. In the blazing charcoal fire room, the six heads and some of the petty bosses were eating and drinking, talking vulgar words and holding large bowls high.

Barely clad women waited on him, forcing themselves to smile. These women were all kidnapped, some were ordinary women, and some were even daughters of wealthy families.

The good-looking ones were singled out and served exclusively by the heads of the family and the little bosses, while the average-looking ones were shared with the other brothers in the village.

Zhou Chixiong sat in front of the case, with his back straightened out of habit. His demeanor was incompatible with the lustful bandits. There was a pretty woman waiting beside him, but Zhou Chixiong didn't even bother to look at her.

Such a vulgar fan has no interest in even touching. Zhou Chixiong brought his family to Yunzhou. His wife and son were not in the village, but were arranged in the largest Baidi City in Yunzhou, where is Yunzhou is one of the few paradises where you don’t have to worry about bandits or bandits.

The headmaster is a bearded man who looks rough but is actually as meticulous as a pinnacle master of the God Refining Realm. Seeing this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, twinkling and he asked with concern.

"Brother Zhou Xian, are the women here not to your liking?"

Without waiting for Zhou Chixiong's response, the leader smiled cheerfully and continued to speak to him.

"I heard that there was a beautiful girl in the caravan this time, and she was locked up in the woodshed?"

"Yes, Boss, that girl is so beautiful."

"Compared to the boss, the women in the village are like the difference between mud and sugar."

As a member of the Jinwu Guards, Zhou Chixiong went to Jiaofangsi frequently and saw many beautiful prostitutes. He had to admit that the woman he captured today had an outstanding appearance, which made him attracted. If he hadn't just arrived, that woman would now be It has been taken into his house.

The First Master pondered for a moment, and said boldly in order to win over Zhou Chixiong, the new Sixth Master, and make him give up.

"Come here, bring that woman up and let the Sixth Master handle it tonight. He is the one who robbed her, so he should eat it first."

The rest of the owners have no objections. It doesn't matter who starts the meat dish first. Anyway, you can taste it sooner or later. After a while, a woman was brought up, wearing a long white layered dress, her skin was as good as snow, her eyes were big and bright, and her facial features were flawless. She was a little scared, as timid as a deer in the forest.

The surrounding area fell silent for a moment, everyone was obsessed with her beauty and stared blankly.

"Grrrrrr!"

The sound of Adam's apple rolling was heard. The heads of the family had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Their hearts were filled with excitement. They glanced at Zhou Chixiong with envy. They took advantage of him and actually drank the soup.

Zhou Chixiong swallowed, thinking that the other party was pretty and appetizing, he strode over and was about to drag her to the table.

Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in the room. He was wearing a wide scholar's shirt and fluttering sleeves. He looked elegant and handsome. His eyes turned, fixed on Zhou Chixiong, and asked softly.

"Are you Zhou Chixiong?"

Zhou Chixiong's heart trembled, and his desire disappeared immediately. This mysterious man who suddenly appeared actually knew his name. Something bad was going on!

Bang! The windows were blown by the strong wind and made a sound. The strong wind blew out the candles in the room. In the darkness, the sounds of drawing swords continued one after another, and the boss's shouts were heard.

"Who are you? How dare you break in? You are so impatient!"

In an instant, the whole room was filled with murderous intent, countless curses and curses were blurted out, and all the leaders drew their swords to kill the pretty boy who suddenly appeared.

At this moment, everyone in the village heard a majestic and majestic voice from the sky, which echoed among the mountains and shook the void.

"Occupy the mountain to be the king, and the fallen grass to be the bandit, harming one party, the crime is serious, and should be punished!"

"Thunder comes!"

Following Xu Zisheng's loud shout, the silver snakes in the sky danced and roared loudly, and countless silver-white thunder fell from the sky, killing all the grass bandits in the mountain, leaving only the innocent people who had been plundered and Zhou Chixiong.

A bit of fire lit up and lit the candle in the house again. Zhou Chixiong looked at the messy corpses in the house, his heart went cold, and his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Zhou Chixiong, you've been arrested, come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, the two people disappeared, leaving only the beautiful woman, stunned. A few seconds later, a horrified voice sounded, but it was full of joy.

In the imperial study room, after a brief silence, the court officials inevitably started talking. Now that the Sangbo case has been investigated, the ins and outs are already widely known.

The former Jinwu Guard Zhou Baihu who fled were the culprits who had an affair with the demon clan and smuggled gunpowder into the imperial city. As for whether they were the culprits, benevolence and wisdom have different opinions. Anyway, the big bosses in the court rarely have low IQs. .

"Your Majesty, this is the important criminal wanted by the imperial court, former Jinwu Guard Hundred Household Zhou Chixiong."

Two figures suddenly appeared, extremely unexpected. Xu Zisheng had an extremely confident smile on his face. Next to him was Zhou Chixiong, whose hands and feet were weak from hunger. His face was pale. He had obviously realized how tragic his end would be. His body was trembling. He doesn't have the spirit of an eighth-grade martial artist at all, and looks like a coward.

Zhou Chixiong's eyes were dull, and he looked desperately at the dignitaries in the imperial study room, his heart sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Zhou Chixiong, whose hands and feet were weak, collapsed to the ground. He did not stand up, but lay down and cried tremblingly.

"My crime deserves ten thousand deaths, my crime deserves ten thousand deaths."

Emperor Yuan Jing's face was serious, he stared down at the Jinwu Guard Baihu with great majesty, and shouted.

"Zhou Chixiong, who ordered you to collude with the demon clan and smuggle gunpowder?"

Zhou Chixiong lay on the ground, his body trembling, as if he couldn't say anything else, he just kept shouting.

"Wei Chen deserves to die!"

Emperor Yuan Jing stopped looking at the ant and looked at Xu Zisheng. His expression became much gentler and his eyes were deep, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. He said softly.

"Xu Aiqing, you caught the person, so it's up to you to interrogate him!"

Xu Zisheng smiled slightly, did not refuse, stepped out, put his hands behind his back, and held the Tian Xian in his mouth.

"A gentleman should be honest, and so should a common man."

An invisible breeze blew through the imperial study, and in an instant, the minds of all the ministers were occupied by the word honesty.

"Who instigated you to collude with the demon clan and smuggle gunpowder?"

"Yes, it's Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites."

Zhou Chixiong burst into tears and looked up at the pale-faced Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites.

The moment Xu Zisheng brought Zhou Chixiong back, Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, knew that he was finished. He felt extremely regretful. Zhou Chixiong should have been silenced in the first place, and he should not have been allowed to escape from Kyoto City, leaving himself with a fatal flaw. Now in front of Yuan Yuan In front of Emperor Jing, he might not be able to deny it.

In an instant, the imperial study room exploded. The ministers completely lost their ability to control their expressions, and there was a commotion and uproar.

Someone stood up and wanted to defend Li Yulang.

"Your Majesty, this is ridiculous, Zhou Chixiong is slandering!"

Seeing this, Wang Wenzhen, the chief minister, shook his head slightly and closed his eyes. He knew that it was useless. Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, was finished. He just hoped that he would not involve other people, otherwise the royal party would suffer a heavy blow.

The Minister of Rites looked downcast, and there was no point in defending. When Zhou Chixiong was arrested, he had already lost. Unless you know about this in advance, silence them.

Emperor Yuan Jing did not comment, looked at the Minister of Rites with majestic eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Li Yulang, what can you say?"

The Minister of Rites took a deep breath, calmed down his dejection, and retorted as he still struggled to death.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. This is Xu Zisheng's frame-up!"

Xu Zisheng was not angry when he heard this, but turned to look at Wei Yuan aside and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if it is true or not, we can let the watchman investigate thoroughly. I believe no one can escape the watchman's interrogation."

Wei Yuan immediately took a step forward. If the Sangbo case was solved, Xu Qi'an would be pardoned, so he was naturally willing to take over and said.

"Your Majesty, please leave it to me to interrogate this animal and find out its accomplices."

Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment then came out. He did not dare to let Li Yulang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, fall into the hands of the watchman, which would reveal many secrets. He wanted to challenge Wei Yuan for orders.

"Your Majesty, this case should be handed over to the Criminal Department."

Emperor Yuan Jing did not answer, and looked down at the civil and military officials in silence, causing the ministers to stop the discussion and bow their heads slightly.

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Jing finally spoke and announced.

"Let this case be handed over to the Criminal Department!"

"I'm tired, please step back."

Emperor Yuan Jing waved his hand and stood up to leave first. All the ministers bowed together and exited the imperial study in an orderly manner. The ministers left clearly and distinctly. When Fang Fu stepped out of the room, the atmosphere immediately changed drastically.

Xu Zisheng became famous in the first battle, and he was a new official with three tricks. He had just become the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he overthrew Li Yulang, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The Minister of Etiquette was stripped of his official robe and hat by the palace guards. His expression was gloomy and despairing. No matter who came to hear the case, he was finished. It was even uncertain whether the three clans would be implicated.

The civil servants headed by Wang Wenzhen, the First Assistant Minister, all glared at Xu Zisheng, but the military attachés such as Wei Yuan were completely different, with kind eyes and smiles on their faces. It was obvious that the hostility between civil and military officials was very serious.

Xu Zisheng ignored the glares of Wang Wenzhen and others, and shouted with a provocative smile on his face.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a handsome Minister of War?"

"I can understand the jealousy of you ugly-looking people, but jealousy is useless. After all, ugliness is natural. But if you need it, I suggest you go to Si Tianjian and ask them to help you change your appearance!"

Xu Zisheng's words made Wang Wenzhen's face turn livid. The chief assistant of the great minister, the head of the civil service, snorted coldly, which seemed to be a threat, but also seemed to be a reminder.

"Young people, don't be too frivolous. We eat more salt than you eat rice. It's not good to be too sharp, and it's easy to hurt others and yourself!"

"You eat more salt than I eat rice? You have such a strong taste, aren't you afraid of killing yourself?!"

Xu Zisheng was not polite and directly attacked the chief minister of the dynasty, leaving him no face at all.

"You should not be arrogant and waste your youth. Young people should be sharp. Only in this way can the enemy be feared. Otherwise, he will become a loser and be oppressed by others!"

Xu Zisheng showed his sharp edge, his sword eyes were shining brightly, and he stared at Wang Wenzhen, refusing to give in, showing an extremely tough attitude.

Wang Wenzhen slowly withdrew her gaze, with a gloomy and uncertain expression, and walked forward directly. The members of the royal party followed closely behind her, following each step, and they were very united.

Xu Zisheng's eyes flashed, thoughtfully. It seems that the royal party controls the right to speak in the court, and they are all tightly united around Wang Wenzhen. The situation is difficult to control. No wonder it makes Emperor Yuan Jing jealous. He was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, hoping to let him check and balance the chief minister.

"That's all. Talking nonsense is ruining the country. I'm unhappy with these rotten scholars. They are always scheming and having too much selfish desires. I will act as Emperor Jing's sword and help him cut down this big tree!"

The elegant and handsome Wei Yuan's face looked a little heavy. He sensed Emperor Yuan Jing's displeasure towards Xu Qi'an. He put aside his worries for the time being, looked at Xu Zisheng and reminded him.

"Master Xu, you have to be careful. Wang Wenzhen should not be underestimated. He is a big tree with deep roots. He has controlled the government for so many years and has always stood firm. His intelligence, government, strategy, and methods are all top-notch!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for reminding me! But in my eyes, Wang Wenzhen is nothing more than a chicken and a dog. I am bored during this period of time. I hope he can add some fun to me!"

I've been to the Goulan House a lot, and that's it. Xu Zisheng, the oiran from the Jiaofang Division, has met him, but he has never stayed overnight because he has severe mysophobia and doesn't like to squeeze into public transportation. It's too dirty!

"Fighting against the sky, the fun is endless! Fighting against the earth, the fun is endless! Fighting against humans, the fun is endless!"

"I want to see what tricks Wang Wenzhen can use. I am not King Yu. If they dare to use off-board moves, I will overturn the chessboard and kill them. I don't believe it. Just because of their rotten fish There are not even enough shrimps for me to kill!”

Xu Zisheng said this very loudly, as if he deliberately said it to the people around him. This was to warn people like Wang Wenzhen that if they dared to play dirty tricks like he did to King Yu, he would dare to kill people.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan nodded slightly. This eunuch, who was both civil and military, obviously saw Xu Zisheng's intentions. He could rest assured now that Xu Zisheng was not dazzled by today's victory and remained sober and rational.

"The Sangbo case is now settled, and Xu Qian has served his crime well. Mr. Wei does not need to worry!"

Xu Zisheng saw through Wei Yuan's thoughts at a glance and comforted him casually. He was not worried at all. After all, Xu Qi'an had half of Dafeng's national destiny. Even if Emperor Yuan Jing burped, he would be fine.

When Wei Yuan heard this, his expression brightened slightly. He had already prepared for the worst. If Emperor Yuan Jing was unwilling to pardon Xu Qi'an, he would let Xu Qi'an fake his death, turn from light to dark, and let him enter the world.

Xu Qi'an is shameless, cunning and insidious. He is very suitable for the court, but he is not bad enough. He still has a warrior spirit and bottom line in his heart, but he is not suitable for the court. The time he killed Zhu Chengzhu, Yin Luo, fully proved it. at this point.

Who is a serious person to keep a diary? Xu Qian is an unserious person. He not only writes a diary, but also records everything he encounters in his diary.

"I haven't written a diary for a long time recently. I have burned the previous diaries. But Xu is not a serious person. Today Yuan Jing (crossed out) I have respectfully addressed you as Your Majesty. I cannot leave any evidence of disrespect. Although I have written several The sky is burning. Your Majesty exempted me from the death penalty. I heard that it was Xu Zisheng, the Minister of War, who caught Zhou Chixiong and exposed the true face of Li Yulang, the Minister of Rites, in front of Your Majesty. The Sangbo case is over!"

"The Minister of Rites committed suicide in the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishments out of fear of his crime. This was the outcome that everyone wanted, but Wang Shoufu was kind enough to get an ending for him in which his whole family was exiled. There was no execution of the whole family, nor the three Yi tribes. I Asked why Wei Yuan didn't add insult to injury, Wei Yuan said that it is not the behavior of a gentleman to destroy a household. You are gone, so you are not a gentleman, but Wei Yuan is not a bad person!"

The Minister of Rites committed suicide out of fear of guilt. No other members of the royal party were involved in the Sangbo case. It was a great blessing among the misfortunes. The court regained its calm. With Xu Zisheng as a troublemaker, Wang Wenzhen and others restrained themselves a lot. , Emperor Yuan Jing could practice Taoism with peace of mind, and once again focused on the pursuit of immortality.

Every day in the court meeting, Xu Zisheng fought alone against the Confucian scholars, and his fighting prowess was so great that Wang Wenzhen, an old fox, was so angry that he cursed Xu Zisheng in private for being incompetent!
