Before the general changed his career to become a magic stick

Kyoto, which had a heavy atmosphere due to the curfew, finally ushered in a glimmer of life this morning.

General Xiao Zheng of Zuo Xiaowei, who had disappeared for more than a month, was found.

But the person was carried out from the basement in Xiao Yuntian's residence in Dali Temple.

The originally tall and strong man lost a lot of weight and was pale and weak. Fortunately, his mind was still very clear. As the only surviving party, he became the key point.

The emperor was overjoyed at first when he heard the news, but then became more worried.

What kind of thing is it that a person disappeared but was found in his own house?

Regardless of the truth of the matter, at least now it seems that the Xiao family is inseparable from the whole matter.Privately imprisoning important officials of the imperial court is a serious crime. As the minister of Dali Temple, Xiao Yuntian should uphold the law, but such a scandal happened.

Although the emperor had many doubts in his heart, he had no choice but to order people to surround Xiao's mansion to make it impenetrable.

A few days later, the secret booklet containing Xiao Zheng's testimony was presented to the saint, and several large articles were eloquently reported in detail about the unknown crimes that Xiao Yuntian committed in the past 34 years as an official, involving hundreds of lives. Ju, his wife and son are all accessories, and the people involved in the crime almost cover the entire Xiao family.

Xiao Zheng's testimony is calm throughout, and it is completely stated in a third-person tone without any emotional color. Even so, every word is full of the smell of human blood.

After reading the secret book, the emperor sat slumped in his seat for a long time unable to regain his senses.

At the foot of the imperial city, in front of the emperor, his own minister of the Dali Temple, the head of the judiciary, the veteran official who thought he was conscientious and dedicated to his duties, turned out to be the most sinner who should be judged!

If this matter is announced to the world, and the common people know it, it will be a loss of face for myself, and Dali Temple...how can there be any credibility? !

The emperor's hands and feet were cold, and after a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "It is passed... I have heard what General Xiao said. The words are true, and justice will be upheld.”

The emperor threw away the secret booklet in his hand wearily, and sighed: "Let Dali Zheng and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice come to see me quickly..." After hesitating for a while, he said, "Let Fang Xuzi and that Shen... Shen Buren also come, go quickly !"

At the end, the emperor finally became impatient, grabbed the Jianzhan on the table and threw it out viciously——

"Snapped!"

The sound of porcelain shattering was not loud, but it was very ear-piercing. Guan Feiyue suddenly came back to her senses, looked at the hand she was holding, and realized that the teacup she was holding had fallen to the ground.

Guan Feiyue knelt down and picked up the broken porcelain absent-mindedly. The maid who heard the sound came in and hurried over to take over before her young master cut his hand, so that Guan Feiyue would not let him pick it up.

Guan Feiyue stood up slowly again, looked at the busy figure of the servant girl, and asked, "Is Mr. Shen back?"

"No, master, you just asked, did you forget?"

"Eh? Why do I feel like it's been a long time..."

Guan Feiyue smiled and sat down again, but her heart was still not at ease.

The emperor called people into the palace in a hurry, Guan Feiyue knew what was going on, before Shen Buren left, he said that he would definitely not come back for a while, so he didn't have to worry.

But how is it possible not to worry?

Especially after knowing the truth of the matter.

The things Xiao Zheng said were unimaginable at all, and they were more cruel and terrifying than the things that the leader of the Qinglong Gang did before.

In his opinion, Xiao Yuntian has always been an unsmiling and serious elder, and after a brief contact with Xiao Lang, he only felt that although this dude was a bit timid and cowardly, he was not too bad, and even a little innocent and cute. place.It is hard to imagine that such two people have committed countless crimes.

Guan Feiyue played with Xiao Zheng when she was young, and she also went to Xiao's mansion. At that time, she only felt that the whole mansion was grand and solemn, and it felt too cold and desolate, so she didn't want to go there afterwards.

At that time, although I was young, I was aware that even though Xiao Zheng was Xiao Yuntian's nephew, the relationship between the two of them was not close, or even alienated, but Mrs. Xiao was very kind, and always had a kind face. Laughing, Ai greeted him to eat some delicate pastries.

However, Xiao Zheng always stopped him. He refused to eat it himself, and he also dragged Guan Feiyue to refuse to eat it. When Guan Feiyue asked why, Xiao Zheng simply replied, "Dirty things, you will get sick if you eat them."Thinking about it now, Xiao Zheng at that time already knew about the dirty things that Xiao's mansion did in private, but he was too young to resist and escape.

It's just that Xiao Zheng's experience is far more than that.

Guan Feiyue was loved by his parents since he was a child, and he had three older brothers to take care of him. He lived a very happy life. He couldn't imagine how little Xiao Zheng, an orphan without parents, could struggle to survive in such Xiao's mansion. of.

"Hmph, of course it's because of me." Hearing Xiao Zheng's narration, Pluto had a distressed and angry face, but after hearing Guan Feiyue's question, he immediately straightened his waist and raised his chin a little proudly, " With such a bastard family at such a young age, how could I survive without my meticulous care? If Zheng'er hadn't softened his heart and agreed to the request of the eldest son of Xiao, I would have killed this brood of stinky rats long ago It's clean!"

"Mu Qing!" Xiao Zheng scolded lightly, making Pluto shut up reluctantly.

"Although the crimes of the Xiao family are unforgivable, Xiao Qing is different," Xiao Zheng said with a wry smile, "I owe him a lot. I wanted to let him die without regrets, so I didn't touch the Xiao family. I just tried to limit their behavior, but I didn't expect them to intensify and become more crazy, and they could only bear him in the end."

Xiao Zheng closed his eyes, with a look of pain between his brows, and slowly opened his eyes for a long time, his black eyes were full of determination: "After I go back this time, I will tell the emperor everything, and leave things to the people themselves. Deal with it... My physical body has reached its limit, and I'm afraid it won't last long. I must find Xiao Lang as soon as possible to make a deal.

After the incident, no matter what the result is, I will no longer be reincarnated in the world, and since then I will become a Ming clan, and I will no longer interfere in the affairs of the human race. "

"Zheng, Zhenger?!" Pluto opened his eyes wide, showing the stupidest expression so far.

"But aren't you unwilling to become a Ming clan? How come..." Guan Feiyue was very puzzled.

"It's really not what I want, but it's indeed the best solution," Xiao Zheng said calmly, "What Xiao Lang wants is my soul. After I become a Ming clan, I have no soul, no soul, no afterlife, I want him... I can never ask for it."

Hearing that the reason why Xiao Zheng was willing to become the Hades was not for himself, Pluto's eyes that had just lit up dimmed again.

"I have known Xiao Lang not long ago, but he looks cowardly and cowardly. He doesn't look like someone who can easily kill people. You were taken captive by Pluto... The worry when you were taken away seems to be false. You said he wanted you What is the reason for this?" Guan Feiyue asked.

"Xiao Lang..." Xiao Zheng sighed softly, "He was just an ignorant child at first, I wanted to at least keep him, but after all, everyone has their own choice, which is beyond my control. After all, it’s different from his brother. As for his worry about me, it’s just because he’s afraid that he won’t get what he wants. I wonder if General Guan has heard of Shark Pearl?”

Shark beads?

These two words made Guan Feiyue's heart inexplicably tense, and an indescribable complex feeling came up, with a vague sense of familiarity.But he probably never heard of such a thing.

Guan Feiyue secretly felt strange, she didn't even notice that Shen Buren was holding his hand lightly beside him, otherwise with his temperament, such an intimate move in front of outsiders would have blushed away immediately.

Xiao Zheng glanced at the overlapping hands of the two without any trace, and said in the same tone:

"The shark beads are the souls of the shark people in the sea after death. They are the final condensation of a shark's lifelong spiritual power. The stronger the shark's spiritual power, the stronger the effect of the condensed shark beads. The shark beads can divide water. Avoid the fire, so that those whose souls are about to disperse can consolidate their souls and gain temporary vitality. It is said that there is a blue shark pearl in the depths of the blue sea. It can bring the dead back to life, and the living can gain eternal life if they get it."

Having said that, Xiao Zheng sneered lightly. This was the only time he clearly showed his emotions during the whole statement:

"After having enough power and financial resources, I began to regret and fear that I could not enjoy these things forever. In addition, today's saints advocate the theory of gods and ghosts, so many relatives and nobles in the capital, including the emperor, want to live forever. Eternal power. They collect all kinds of methods everywhere. It was okay at the beginning, just some simple and weird methods. Gradually, people with ulterior motives grasped this point, and things got out of control.

As time goes by, people are getting older, and the body is naturally not as good as before. Therefore, the desire to live forever becomes more and more urgent, so that some extreme methods that even violate human ethics and morals are tried.Human life, among them, is nothing but the least valuable and easiest raw material. "

Guan Feiyue's knuckles holding Yinyue Dao tightly turned white, but she couldn't even utter a word.

The facts are far more cruel and complicated than imagined. Apart from anger, there is more sadness.

However, Xiao Zheng's next sentence really shocked Guan Feiyue to the point of chilling.

"After the emperor heard about the magic of the Biluo Shark Pearl, he couldn't wait to send people to look for it. He just wanted to find a suitable excuse at the right time. For this reason, even if this is just an illusory legend, even if the sea is extremely dangerous, even if It is not unreasonable to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of soldiers who had worked so hard to defend the territory of the Daqing Dynasty."

Xiao Zheng looked at Guan Feiyue quietly, and said softly: "So, General Guan, you should know why the emperor sent you to the East China Sea to hunt for treasure, right?"
