The so-called sticking a prison sentence means sticking wet paper on the prisoner's face.
As layer after layer is added, the prisoner will have more and more difficulty breathing until he is almost suffocated.
At this time, the prisoner will usually confess.
The jailers at the Bad Man's Yamen are all veterans, and they can operate it easily.
The four East Vietnamese swordsmen were reluctant to confess at first, but as they reached the third floor, these practitioners could no longer bear it.
Top practitioners can hold their breath for a long time, but after all, they are only ninth-grade martial arts practitioners and are not very good at breath control.
As I reached the fifth floor, I felt a suffocating feeling.
The instinct of survival caused the psychological defenses of four of the swordsmen to collapse and they confessed one after another.
"I said it, I said it all."
Feng Hao then raised his hand to signal the jailer to uncover the wet paper.
"We are from East Vietnam. We came to Chang'an with orders to create chaos and affect the holding of the Qujiang Poetry Fair."
Qujiang Poetry Club?
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.
He had heard the girl from Miaoyin Tower mention the emperor's sacrifice to heaven before.
Does this have anything to do with the Qujiang Poetry Association?
He turned to Feng Hao and found that the ruthless and ruthless handsome man also had a confused look on his face.
Dongyue Kingdom has always been a thorn in the side of the Zhou Empire.
The emperors of all dynasties wanted to bulldoze this small country, but unfortunately the East Vietnam country always produced peerless practitioners.
During the Xianlong period, an unprecedented genius like Wei Wuji appeared.
Emperor Xianlong had some scruples, so he pushed forward the "pacification plan" again and again.
If the Zhou Empire were to hold a martial arts conference in Chang'an, it is understandable that the East Vietnamese swordsmen would want to come and cause damage.
But it seems that there are no famous literary saints in Dongyue Kingdom.
What does it have to do with the Zhou Empire to hold the Qujiang Poetry Festival in Chang'an City?
"Why do you want to influence the holding of the Qujiang Poetry Fair?"
"Because this Qujiang Poetry Fair is different from the past, it is said that there is the shadow of Haoran Academy behind it."
A swordsman said.
"It is said that the winner can be admitted to Haoran Academy and become a disciple of the academy."
Another swordsman added.
"The Sword Master said that Dazhou already has a mountain chief, and there can't be a second one."
After hearing this, both Feng Hao, Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen were shocked.
You must know that although the literary style of the Zhou Empire flourished, generally speaking, the official school headed by Guozijian occupied the mainstream position.
Although Haoran Academy has a high status in the world, due to its small scale and irregular recruitment of disciples, which all depend on the president's personal preferences, it has always remained outside the mainstream literary circles.
But this does not mean that Haoran Academy is not important.
The literati of the Great Zhou Empire all know that Shan Chang is a literary sage and the only powerful man in the world who is above the Qingxuan realm.
The Qingxuan Realm of Confucianism, the Vajra Realm of Buddha, the Wuwei Realm of Taoism, the Pojun Realm of warriors, and the Annihilation Realm of Demon Cult are the five transcendent levels of existence, and they are also the existence closest to heaven.
A duel between masters of this level can often change the fate of a country.
So the Great Sword God, who is a warrior at the breaking military level, would be afraid of the mountain leader recruiting new disciples, right?
Because in the bottom of Wei Wuji's heart, even though he was "invincible", he was not sure that Shan Zhang would win.
You must know that Haoran Academy has not opened its doors to secular people for ten years, and the mountain leader has not recruited new disciples for ten years. It is rumored that the qualifications of the scholars are mediocre, and the mountain leader has no plans to recruit any more disciples.
There was only one reason why Shan Chang suddenly made a change, and that was the appearance of Wen Quxing.
Wenquxing was born with extraordinary literary talents. If he was discovered by the mountain leader and accepted as his disciple and given some guidance, his cultivation level would probably improve dramatically and he would eventually become as powerful as the mountain leader.
If Wei Wuji was afraid of Haoran Academy and the Mountain Chief, he naturally did not want to see that he would face two powerful men as strong as the Mountain Chief in the future.
That's why people were sent to Chang'an to stop the Qujiang Poetry Society from being held.
"But what does this have to do with the murder of He Yushi?"
Although there is some truth in this, there are still some things that don't make sense.
The murder of He Yushi is the most unreasonable part.
"He Yushi was killed?"
An East Vietnamese swordsman was stunned.
"How could this happen?"
Zhao Xun saw this and sneered: "Why are you pretending now? Don't tell me that you had nothing to do with He Yushi's death."
"Of course not, we have a cooperative relationship with Yushi He."
One of the swordsmen said helplessly: "The Sword Master said that Yushi He could write to the court, stating that the Qujiang Poetry Society was destructive to the country and had many drawbacks. Moreover, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was about to sacrifice to heaven, so the Qujiang Poetry Society was held at this juncture.
, Haoran Academy will definitely come forward to steal the spotlight. The Great Zhou court has always been unhappy with Haoran Academy, and we hope that through this move, we can influence the Great Zhou court's attitude towards the Qujiang Poetry Society."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to make sense.
The emperor's sacrifice to heaven is a top priority. At this time, Haoran Academy wants to steal the limelight through the Qujiang Poetry Festival, and the emperor will definitely not agree. It is foreseeable that as long as He Yushi writes, Emperor Xianlong will probably give his consent and cancel the Qujiang Poetry.
meeting.
As long as the poetry meeting is cancelled, the mountain chief will naturally not be able to openly accept disciples. Although the mountain chief is a literary saint with extremely strong cultivation, he should not be able to directly identify the location of Wenquxing from the vast sea of people. He can only feel the aura of Wenquxing in the near future.
Appear.
There are specialties in the arts, and this is what the magicians of Qin Tianjian are best at.
Naturally, it is impossible for a person with such an arrogance as the mountain chief to lower his head and ask Qin Tianjian for help, so he would do the next best thing and select talents from the Qujiang Poetry Society. The top scorer in the imperial examination may not necessarily be favored by the mountain chief and become a student of Haoran Academy.
, but those who write peerless poems will definitely be looked upon by the mountain chief.
Therefore, as long as it affects the holding of Qujiang Poetry Fair, the threat to Sword Master Wei Wuji is temporarily eliminated.
But if all these inferences are true, it means that there was someone else who killed He Yushi.
At first, Jia Xingwen concluded that He Yushi's sudden death was caused by a monster. Later, Zhao Xun used reasonable inferences and visits to uncover the East Vietnamese swordsman.
But it later turned out that the East Vietnamese swordsman was an ally of He Yushi, and someone else killed He Yushi.
Isn’t this case too complicated and confusing?
Zhao Xun's heart couldn't bear it if the situation continued like this.
"I seem to have heard Yushi He mention the Demon Cult in the wine shop..."
Another East Vietnamese swordsman muttered.
"Everyone was drunk at the time, and I thought what Yu Shi said was drunk. But if it is true, could the case be related to the Demon Cult?"
Demonic Cult?
When Feng Hao heard these two words, his eyes narrowed slightly.
These two words are the most unmentionable words in Chang'an City.
The Demonic Cult is different from the orthodox practice method in that it forcibly absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth into the body.
This method of practice can greatly reduce the practice time, and the speed of breaking through the level will become faster, but the problem is also obvious, the practitioner's spirit is likely to become abnormal.
Could it be that Yushi He has something to do with the Demon Cult?
