The middle-aged man in black on the left claims to be the Dali Temple Secretary, named Song Yang, who is in charge of the country's criminal justice. The one on the right is a civil official named Li Rusong, who has the most clever ideas.

The two of them have considerable influence in the court.

Now that they see that Xu Ye, the new imperial teacher, has gained the trust of His Majesty, they want to bring him in as well.

As for whether the national teacher could catch ghosts, they sneered in their hearts.

What the hell? It's just a joke.

The more upper-class nobles like them are, the less they believe in this.

Ghosts and gods are merely a means for superiors to restrain the morality of those below them.

They themselves have no virtues, but they must require the people to abide by principles.

The few of them first came to the stable, where a dozen horses with shiny coats and strong bodies were tied.

Song Yang was quite proud:

"I have quite a few fine horses in my hunting grounds. Does the Imperial Master fancy any of them?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Ye did not try to embarrass others and walked to a chestnut horse of average quality.

"The Imperial Master is no longer going to pick and choose?"

"No need. How can I come to your place and take away your favorite thing?" Xu Ye is a humble person and knows what is polite and what is the truth.

But as soon as he got on, the horse fell to its knees, its limbs went limp, and it knelt on the ground, with a stream of warm yellow liquid flowing out of its buttocks...

Xu Ye: "..."

Song Yang: ???

what's the situation?

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. There might be something wrong with that horse. It has diarrhea. Let's pick another one."

"Okay." Xu Ye took things as they came.

He took a fancy to another white horse, which looked even more majestic than the previous one.

"Pfft~"

The white horse was foaming at the mouth and twitching on the ground.

Xu Ye: "..."

He scratched his head and said, "Forget it. I won't participate. I'm embarrassed to have broken two horses."

"Participate, you must participate."

"It must have been an accident just now. There is no way anything could go wrong with the horses of my Song family."

Xu Ye had no choice but to continue with his head held down. He tried several more horses, but the results were the same.

Song Yang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, nor did he think it was Xu Ye's fault.

He just thought that someone was deliberately trying to harm him and secretly put laxatives in the horse feed in order to embarrass him in front of the new imperial master.

What a good plan.

I will call all the servants who feed the horses here soon, and if they can't explain what happened, they will all be beaten to death.

Just when all the horses were wiped out, Xu Ye found a lame black horse in the corner of the stable and rode on it.

I didn't get scared this time.

Song Yang, who was not far away, was relieved when he saw this and explained, "This is General Zuo's warhorse Zhuifeng.

When General Zuo attacked Cheng State and died in battle, the horse was also injured and never saw the battlefield again.

"You two are destined to have the favor of Brother Xu today. I just hope you won't despise it." He said this with full confidence, so as not to let Xu Ye feel that he was treating him unfairly.

"It's okay, this is good." Xu Ye waved his hand and looked down.

In Xu Ye's eyes, thick black gas was emitting from the wound on Zhuifeng's hind leg. No wonder he was not afraid of him.

This is a strange animal with a head similar to that of a dog.

Animals that can become strange generally have high IQs.

"That's good." Song Yang observed Xu Ye's expression. No matter what the newly appointed national master thought in his heart, at least on the surface, he was willing to coexist peacefully with him.

That's good. When people get along with each other, isn't it just superficial? When the interests are consistent, everyone is smiling, and there is no need to delve into other things.

Song Yang thought that he didn't care much about Zhuifeng, so his servants acted according to his instructions and did not take good care of Zhuifeng.

There is no food for the next meal after the last one.

Therefore, this "drugging" incident was avoided.

But he overlooked a question: how could a horse that didn't have much feed to eat survive to this day and be in good health?

The hunting ground was on the hilltop of the villa. Xu Ye pulled the rope, and Zhuifeng under him raised his head and neighed, then ran into the stable with a proud and vigorous look.

He looked heroic and didn't look injured at all.

Song Yang and his companions were greatly shocked: "When did the horse's leg get better? We don't even know."

"It's a pity that the Zuo family has already declined and has no status in the court. His horse will naturally not be taken seriously."

There were still few animals in the hunting ground, not even a hare.

With the sound of a gong, many people suddenly ran out from a small house on the top of the mountain.

These people had shackles on their hands and feet, and a big word "Prisoner" was written on the chest of their dirty white clothes.

As soon as they came out, they started to flee in all directions, but the chains on their bodies did not allow them to run too fast.

A few people ran too fast and were tripped by the chains, falling flat on their faces.

When Song Yang and other officials saw this scene, they burst into laughter.

Xu Ye was puzzled.

Everyone was laughing, except Xu Ye, who was the Grand Master, and his behavior looked out of place among the crowd.

So Song Yang asked, "What do you think of this hunt, Imperial Master?"

"Not very good." Xu Ye replied directly.

Song Yang's face turned cold: "Could it be that the Imperial Master feels that this is too cruel and has mercy on them?"

"The last person who had this idea was the former prime minister. He is now living an even worse life than them. His body has been fed to dogs."

Everyone knows that killing for fun is illegal, but isn't this a form of surrender?

They are all cruel, they are the same type of people, they have done the same type of things, and they have found something against each other.

This way, it will be easier for everyone to work together with one mind in the future.

"too weak."

"You are not worthy of my attack." Xu Ye whipped his horse whip: "Gee~"

Zhuifeng rushed forward and ran deeper into the forest.

The air in the mountains is fresh. Compared to the prosperity of the capital, this place is not polluted by strange air. Xu Ye shot an arrow and hit the black bear's eye.

The bear began to roar.

Xu Ye ran over and fought with him for three rounds, easily defeating him.

Zhuifeng watched from the side.

Xu Ye walked over and stroked its fur: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, how did you become like this?"

Song Yang and the others did not seem to have been transformed into something weird, but Zhui Feng, who had been staying in their stable, had completely evolved into something weird.

Evolution requires time to accumulate, and combined with recent discoveries...Xu Ye couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.

"Hiss~" Zhuifeng let out a long cry, as if he was saying something.

Xu Ye nodded: "I see."

Barrage: "No, what did you say? When did Boss Xu Ye learn horse language?"

"Is there anyone who raises horses all year round? Please translate this for me."

"I run a horse farm, and I didn't understand it either."

The man and the horse wandered around in the forest for a while, spreading the strange aura to many places.

However, Xu Ye felt that these were not important. It was difficult for animals to become weird... They did not have complicated human hearts, and the most painful thing they usually suffered was being eaten by their natural enemies.

But survival of the fittest is the most common thing in the forest.

Zhuifeng carried Xu Ye on his back, and Xu Ye carried the blind bear, and they came to the top of the mountain and looked down at the hunting grounds below.

Many of those slaves were tainted with evil spirits.

Xu Ye saw a pregnant woman running with a big belly. She was shot in the stomach by an arrow from behind. She immediately condensed into a ball of black gas and pounced towards Song Yang.

I also saw ignorant children and strong men in their thirties.

Before they were killed, most of them suffered inhuman torture, which made them more likely to become weird.

This is the general trend.

The change of dynasties has its own rules. Xu Ye suddenly realized that when he came here, this place was already terminally ill and beyond repair.

He was just a passer-by.

Xu Ye thought of the history books he had read. People always complained about the last emperors because they failed to protect the country and led to the destruction of their families.

But is there a possibility that the day they took over was already a mess?
