Seeing a crack bursting out of the wall of Wenqi, Wang Cizhi's face was filled with shock.
Although he lives in seclusion, he has occupied a high position in the Wang family for many years, but he is not blocked from the news about the world of extraordinary beings. He has never heard that the wall of culture and energy can be broken down.
"What kind of carving knife is this?!"
Wang Cizhi's eyes were confused, and finally his eyes fell on the carving knife in Nangong's hand.
He clearly realized that it was this carving knife that shattered the wall of his literary spirit.
"Die to me!"
However, Nangong's movements did not stop there, but continued to stab forward, and the carving knife was directly nailed to Wang Cizhi's eyebrows!
"Well……"
Wang Cizhi opened his eyes wide, and after letting out a cry of pain, he instinctively pushed forward with both hands, pushing Nangong away!
"puff……"
Several ribs were broken in Nangong's chest, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
And his entire forearm was close to carbonization. The injury here was not from Wang Cizhi, but from the carving knife.
The carving knife has extra damage ability to all dark paths. At this time, Nangong is already a dark path, so naturally it will not be an exception.
Especially when he held the carving knife tightly and exerted his strength, the force that the carving knife struck back on him was naturally astonishing.
In just a few breaths, the palm to forearm of his right hand was roasted into black charcoal.
With a gentle rub, Nangong's forearm turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace. But at the wound on the remaining arm, the granulation was growing crazily, giving birth to a new arm.
"Nangong is really cruel to me..."
Seeing this scene, Su Wen bared his teeth.
"Only he will not be affected by approaching Wang Cizhi at this time." Qingli responded.
Wang Cizhi, who is being promoted to the evil ghost path, is not only protected by the wall of literary energy, but also has dark power permeating his body. Except for the extraordinary people of the dark path, they will be polluted if they get close, making it extremely difficult to clean up.
Not to mention that Wang Cizhi was protected by the Dark Night Puppet. Of all the people present, only Nangong, who was also on the dark path, could not be controlled by this taboo object for a short period of time and give Wang Cizhi enough power to hurt him.
"Damn! You all deserve to die!"
Wang Cizhi's face was full of pain, he held the carving knife with both hands and tried to pull it out.
But there was smoke and sizzling sound coming from his hands, and the carving knife was still nailed to his forehead, motionless.
"Damn it...Damn it! I won't give it in! I won't give it in!"
Wang Cizhi roared, and his head began to melt like a wax statue.
"If you are below Sequence 3, don't look at him!"
Nangong issued a reminder.
"..."
Su Wen turned his head silently. The surrounding factory guards and soldiers had evacuated. Those who stayed on Wang Cizhi's side were almost all bosses of Sequence 4 or above. There were also Yasheng like Xia Gui. He was the only one who was Sequence 4.
Although the second extraordinary person has many cultural backgrounds, there is no one he can defeat. He can only turn his head silently to avoid seeing Wang Cizhi's out-of-control state and causing adverse consequences.
"We can't let this guy pollute a sacred place like the Examination Academy!"
Xia Gui shook his head, took out a scroll from his sleeve, unfolded it, shook it hard, and took Wang Cizhi into the scroll.
"Let him perish in it..."
Xia Gui stamped the seal on the scroll, strengthened the seal, and handed it to Zhong Zheng who was standing aside: "His dark power will remain in the painting. You can try to extract or seal it yourself. As for Su Xiandi's carving knife, wait until Wang Ci's death."
After that, it will fall out of the scroll on its own."
"Thank you, Master Xia."
Zhong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"It should be." Xia Gui waved his hand, with no joy on his face.
He also knew that Lu Chen's death was closely related to Wang Ci's death. Although Lu Chen's death was not a pity, after all, he was a friend he had known for many years. If Lu Chen had not been involved in the intrigues of the two courts, he would not have reached this point. .
It's just that after Lu Chen died, his soul was devoured by Wang Cizhi, which Xia Gui couldn't tolerate.
"In the scroll, I blessed a soul-locking formation that can keep his soul alive for a period of time. If the inner factory wants to torture something from his soul, it should be done as soon as possible." Xia Gui added.
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me." Seeing that Xia Gui was so well prepared, Zhong Zheng felt a little more grateful to him. This meant that Nei Xing Sheng could learn more information about Wang Cizhi through Wang Cizhi's soul. What plans the other forces behind it, especially the Yan State, have are of extremely important significance.
"Lord Attendant, at the stall, all the enemies have been killed!"
At this time, the barbarian soldier, covered in blood, strode from the rear of the examination hall, knelt down on one knee and said: "A total of sixty-four enemies were killed, and their spirits were destroyed. We injured three people, all of them were minor injuries."
"very good……"
A smile appeared on Zhong Zheng's face: "Well done!" She patted the barbarian soldier on the shoulder, turned to look at Su Wen, and said with approval: "You are even better!"
"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary." Su Wen bowed his hand and showed modesty.
"What to do with the bodies of these assassins?"
Su Wen asked curiously.
"The head was cut off, embalmed, and envoys were sent to Emperor Yan."
Zhong Zheng smiled slightly: "I will send it to him personally."
"..."
Su Wen felt that he should not have asked this question in the first place.
But from Zhong Zheng's words, he also understood that Zhong Zheng did not just have a sudden idea, but had this idea for a long time. It may even be the emperor's long-term solution.
Giving these dozens of heads to Emperor Yan was definitely a huge humiliation and provocation.
But... Emperor Yan could only pinch his nose and express that he didn't recognize any of these people. He might even reprimand Zhong Zheng, saying that sending such things to him would greatly affect the relationship between the two countries.
But in the end, Emperor Yan will definitely accept this "gift" and give a serious gift of eight hundred in return.
After all, a gift like this from the Liang Kingdom, in addition to being a show of force, also gave him an opportunity to collect the bones of the dead soldiers. If he did not collect these bones, it would be impossible for the dead soldiers to carry out their missions in the future without grudges in their hearts.
The carving knife soon "clanged" and fell out of the scroll.
After the carving knife fell out, it was confirmed that Wang Cizhi had been strangled with the carving knife.
A treacherous conspiracy came to an end just like that.
The entire residents of Daliang City had no idea that they had experienced a crisis.
The citizens near the examination center even made a small fortune. However, the Daliang Mansion went to the camp the next day to announce that they could return to their houses and live normally. Many people were not happy. They promised to stay for three days, but only three days. Oh my God, even one day less is not enough. After all, living in the camp has good food and drink, and you have eight taels of silver every day, so why not?
…
Three days later, the talent promotion ceremony finally came to an end.
When the candidates entered the examination room, they were transported to the world of Xia Gui's painting by the formation. They did not know where they were. It was not until they left the painting that they realized where they had been. They could not help but sigh at the great ability of Master Xia Gui.
A few days later, the imperial court released the results, and a total of five candidates from Qingshan Academy were successfully ranked. Although the ranking was too high, it was a good sign. At least the imperial examiners' suppression of Qingshan Academy was no longer as strict as before.
There will be a palace examination afterwards to determine the final ranking, but Su Wen's attention is no longer on this.
The Wang Cizhi incident was finally dealt with.
Both the Wang family and the Cui family were affected by this incident. In order to protect their reputations, the two families quietly made many concessions to the court, cleared their lands, and implemented the New Deal. Externally, they claimed to support His Majesty the Emperor's New Deal.
For the country and the people.
It's just that this incident has angered many wealthy families. They regard the Wang and Cui families as traitors and are unwilling to interact with them. Overt and covert suppressions are endless. The two families cannot tell the story of their sufferings, but there is no way to explain the truth.
He can grit his teeth, hold his heart firmly, hug the emperor's thigh tightly, and carry out the New Deal to the end.
Their idea is also very simple. To implement the New Deal is to use a knife to cut the flesh of wealthy families.
Now the knife is falling on them, and they are the only ones hurting. But if the New Deal is firmly established, it can continue to be implemented in other places. By then, all the wealthy families will be affected by the knife, and everyone will be weakened together. And they will turn around sooner and faster when they see the wind.
, you can find a profitable position in the emperor's New Deal.
The judgments of Cui Fei, Wang Cizhi and Wang Cifu were also completed in the internal factory.
The evidence for Cui Fei's theft of examination questions is conclusive, and his crime is unforgivable. But there is a question that cannot be answered even by the Legalist punishment list.
Cui Fei has two personalities, one of which is active in breaking the law, and the other is passive. In other words, one of the personalities is innocent, but it was mainly because he was implicated by the other personality that he violated the law and embarked on a path.
Point of no return.
Of course, according to the law, not to mention two personalities, even just family members will be implicated.
But Su Wen finally interceded for Cui Fei and felt that he should not be killed.
However, Cui Fei can be spared from the crime of death, but cannot escape from the crime of living. For the rest of his life, he can only work as a handyman in the inner factory and cannot return to the world of normal people. This is also the best result that Su Wen can obtain for Cui Fei.
As for the mental clones of Wang Cizhi and Wang Cifu, they were killed by Nangong with forbidden objects, and their souls were destroyed. After all, what kind of temperament did these two scourges have? Nangong knew very well that if these two people survived, they would definitely meet again in the future.
They became a scourge. After confirming that Wang Cizhi and Wang Cifu had no other clones, they were killed completely to avoid future troubles.
On the day when Wang Cizhi and Wang Cifu were executed, Zhong Zheng also led a delegation to Yanjing and presented a "big gift" to Emperor Yan.
The gift list was very short, but it is said that Emperor Yan looked at it for a long time and was even moved to tears at one point.
