"Asshole!"

In the Jinluan Hall, the emperor threw a lamp, and Long Yan was furious.

The killing of an official was the governor of a city with over a hundred counties, towns and villages under its jurisdiction, directly affecting millions of people. In the history of the dynasty that lasted for more than a thousand years, this can be regarded as a major case. .

This kind of thing has not happened in countless years. If it is not handled well, the thieves will soon follow suit and even rise up, further shaking the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. By then, no one knows how many people will die.

If it really comes to that point, he will issue a criminal edict and be nailed to the pillar of shame of the royal family for future generations to admire.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of your dragon body."

"Such a great evil must be captured as soon as possible to suppress the unrest so as not to affect more people."

"Wei Chen suggested that all areas of Luofeng City be sealed off, the county and city send troops, and the treasury allocate funds to guide the scattered people back to their original places, and provide partial compensation and appeasement. The first priority is to appease the people, so as not to cause the chaos to expand and allow thieves to take advantage of it. , taking the opportunity to coerce the refugees and cause trouble."

Many ministers opened their mouths to advise, in an orderly manner, and put all methods in front of the emperor.

The emperor quickly regained his composure, and after pondering for a moment, he gave the order:

"Send five hundred Suzaku Guards to Luofeng City, led by Zheng Dutong. Within a month... no, within half a month, we will find out the whole story and escort the leader of the thief to the Imperial Capital. Anyone who obstructs the handling of the case will be punished with the same crime!"

"The Holy One is wise."

After the emperor spoke, no matter what suggestions the ministers had made before, no one spoke, and they all praised the uniqueness of the emperor.

"In addition, summon King Guangyun to the capital and ask him to come quickly!"

Wuyang County, Guangyun Prince's Mansion, study room.

There were only two people in the room, Prince Guangyun and his son. Zhao Yunheng, dressed in a python robe, sat behind the case, frowning slightly, tapping the table with his fingertips, muttering to himself:

"Song Tonghai is an extraordinary person, but I have underestimated him."

Hearing this, Zhao Jichang on the side could not help but be a little surprised:

"Father, you mean... Yuan Xingcai and Luo Wang were killed by Song Tonghai?"

Song Tonghai gave him a very friendly impression that day. He didn't look like the kind of murderous person at all, let alone committing a major treason case such as killing an official.

"No."

Zhao Yunheng waved his hand and said: "Don't say this without any evidence."

"I hope my father will make it clear." Zhao Jichang was a little confused: "If you are suspicious, why not just arrest him? You will know the truth after verification."

"This is not as simple as you think. This matter may alarm the Immortal Sect."

Zhao Yunheng shook his head slightly and sighed softly: "Whether Song Tonghai did this or not, he is in big trouble."

When things got here, it was no longer something he could suppress.

Even a great master would not dare to kill an official of the imperial court. This would be a crime.

It doesn't matter who died, nor how many people died. This kind of offense is what the court cannot tolerate the most.

It's just like ordinary people. When they are injured by fierce thugs, most of them choose to swallow their anger. One more thing is worse than one less thing. But if they are bitten by an insect, most of them will go into a rage and trample the insect to death without hesitation.

Fearing the strong and bullying the weak, and using power to bully others, has been the case since ancient times.

Class is the iron law of this world. It is the most intolerable crime to commit the following. Even if you enter the immortal sect, this iron law is still valid.

Seeing that Zhao Jichang didn't seem to understand, Zhao Yunheng was about to explain when a long shout suddenly came from outside the palace:

"The imperial edict has arrived."

The voice was high-pitched, and the reverberation shook the ten-mile-long street, which was enough to show his profound internal strength.

Zhao Yunheng narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and said: "Pack up and prepare to follow me to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit."

Luofeng City, Song Mansion.

Yesterday, Song Lingxue had dispersed all the gold and silver in her treasury, and whatever was worth something had been converted into cash.

Most of the surviving escorts chose to take their money and leave. Only a few were left, and nine out of ten of the servants were scattered.

Overnight, the population was withered. The huge Song Mansion was full of ruins, and there were not a few living people at all.

Now is the best time to leave.

The impact of killing officials is great. Luofeng City currently has no owner, and there are countless people leaving the city. If you mix among these people and leave the city, there will not be any danger.

Faced with this chaos, Chu Zheng's heart calmed down a lot and he no longer struggled. He practiced step by step and practiced Qi every day in order to reach the state of spiritual transformation as soon as possible.

The parents in this city died. Although I don’t know who did it, they did fight for the Song government for a long time.

He has made plans, and nothing has happened for the time being. When the court finds out the case, a long time has passed. Now he is only seventy-three days away from the Hundred Days of Qi Refining, which is only two and a half months.

Be careful. After this period of time passes, there should still be some opportunities.

After entering the spiritual transformation, his methods will undergo many changes, and he can try to master the true magical power of the alchemist.

The method of refining Qi is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. There are more than ten kinds of magical powers related to the five senses.

Just talking about this celestial eye, there are methods such as observing Qi, distinguishing yin and yang, recognizing pulses, and communicating with other minds. Going deeper, there are also various magical powers such as flying in the clouds and mists.

Although he is eager for these magical powers, Chu Zheng can only do it step by step at this moment.

Song Lingxue followed him every day, never leaving, taking care of everything.

Chu Zheng didn't ask to leave, and Song Lingxue didn't say anything, as if there was a silent understanding.

Ever since he learned that Chu Zheng had cultivated the dragon-tiger body and had undergone such an astonishing change, Song Yun had some ideas.

As soon as his injury stabilized, he began to practice external martial arts in an attempt to discover his talents that he had not yet noticed and become famous.

The result was naturally a huge disappointment. His talent in external skills was as mediocre as his appearance.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Chu Zheng's stable mentality did not last long.

After Song Tonghai took care of his injuries, he found him.

In the study room, the two of them sat opposite each other. This was their first direct face-to-face communication.

"The head of the family..."

After being silent for a long time, Chu Zheng coughed lightly.

"Chu Zheng, you saved me from fire and water, and I don't want to say thank you for your kindness. I don't want to hide it from you, so I just opened the skylight and spoke frankly."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Song Tonghai raising his hand:

"Now my Song family is in trouble. I have transferred most of the family property in batches. Lingxue knows where it is. I intend to entrust her to you. You two will fly away as soon as possible. I will stay and fight for you two for a while. time."

Chu Zheng waved his hand and said slowly: "Master, don't worry. Now that the governor of Luofeng City has been assassinated, this is a real big deal. We may still have some time before the court finds out what happened."

Hearing this, Song Tonghai was silent for a moment and stared at Chu Zheng:

"Who do you think killed those two people?"

Chu Zheng: "..."

Looking at Song Tonghai's dull expression, Chu Zheng couldn't hold back for a moment. Judging from the reaction of the man in front of him, it was obvious who killed those two people.

For a moment, Chu Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that his head was extremely big.

Killing officials...is this a rebellion?
