In Xianyang Palace, the lights are still on in the Imperial Study Room.
Ying Zheng is reviewing the memorial.
He was a diligent and ambitious emperor.
"There's an assassin!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shouting outside the imperial study room.
Ying Zheng put down his brush, frowned, his eyes reflected a frightening light, and said to himself: "These ghosts and ghosts can't hold themselves back after all!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Send my order to arrest them alive!"
"promise!"
Wang Ben, who was waiting in the dark, stepped out of the curtain, clasped his fists heavily, and left with murderous intent.
The implementation of the imperial examination system affected the biggest interests of the powerful and wealthy class. Ying Zheng expected that they would take action.
In order to prevent assassination, he had already laid a dragnet in Xianyang Palace!
A quarter of an hour later.
The sounds of fighting outside stopped.
The palace door opened and Wang Ben walked in, but his face didn't look very good.
Ying Zheng asked: "Have all the assassins been captured?"
Plop!
Wang Ben knelt down and blamed himself: "Your Majesty, I caught them all, but... I was incompetent and let the nine assassins commit suicide by taking poison!"
"Suicide by taking poison?" Ying Zheng looked gloomy.
If the assassin committed suicide, wouldn't the clue be cut off?
Wang Ben said: "Your Majesty, the nine assassins had poison hidden in their molars. After being captured, they bit the poison and committed suicide!"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Even if the assassin dies, I will conduct a thorough investigation overnight to find out the mastermind behind it!"
"No!" Wang Ben took the order and left.
Ying Zheng walked outside the Imperial Study Room and saw nine corpses of black-clad assassins lined up in the open space in front of them. Each of them had their eyes closed and their lips were black, which was a sign that they were poisoned.
Ying Zheng looked at the assassin's body and remained silent...
The next day, the sun rises.
Wang Ben and Ting Wei knelt before Ying Zheng with their eyes red.
Although a lot of manpower and material resources were used and a thorough overnight investigation was conducted, the mastermind behind the assassin was still not found.
Snapped!
Ying Zheng slapped the imperial case and cursed: "A bunch of trash!"
Wang Ben, Ting Wei and others lowered their heads even lower and dared not speak!
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then suppressed his anger and said:
"Come here, go to my treasury to withdraw 90,000 gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques. I want to visit the master of Tiandao!"
Before the official start of the first imperial examination in the spring, those evil spirits who try to obstruct the imperial examination must be dug out, punished severely, and frightened Xiaoxiao!
Otherwise, it is still unknown whether the first imperial examination can be carried out smoothly!
Now, only Tiandao Louzhu can help Ying Zheng quickly dig out the mastermind behind his assassination last night.
"No!" The eunuch quickly accepted the order and left.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng brought Wang Ben to Tiandao Tower.
At this time, Chen Qilin was having breakfast.
Xiao Hei, who was squatting aside, saw Wang Ben arriving and stared at Wang Ben closely with his dark dog eyes.
Xiao Hei remembers the previous feud over food!
I am dissatisfied with Wang Ben, a jobber!
When Wang Ben noticed Xiao Hei's unkind gaze, his heart went crazy.
More importantly, he felt that he couldn't fuck this big black dog!
Not to be messed with, not to be messed with!
Chen Qilin greeted: "Your Majesty, Marquis Tongwu, come here to have breakfast first, and then we can talk about other things after eating!"
Ying Zheng, Wang Ben and others came to Chen Qilin, and he learned the other party's intention through the system.
"Sir, that would be disrespectful of me!" Ying Zheng said, clasping his fists.
He sat down, took a bowl of soy milk and a basket of steamed dumplings and started eating them.
People are iron rice is steel.
Although Ying Zheng was angry, he still had to eat.
"Sir, then...then I won't be polite!" Wang Ben rubbed his hands and sat down.
Then, he bowed his hand to the big black dog and said, "Brother Dog, don't worry, I eat in a proper way now!"
But Xiaohei still stared at him closely.
Wang Ben had no choice but to start eating breakfast "gentlely".
This time, he was only 70% full, and there was still a lot of food left on the table.
Xiao Hei finally turned his penetrating gaze away from Wang Ben.
After breakfast, Chen Qilin asked Ying Zheng to sit down, handed him a cigar, and asked, knowingly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Ying Zheng lit up his cigar, took a puff, and told his husband about the assassination that happened last night, hoping that he could help him find out the mastermind behind it.
At the same time, Ying Zheng asked people to move in property worth 90,000 gold.
Chen Qilin has asked the system before, and it will cost 15 Tiandao points to find out who is behind these assassins.
Ying Zheng sent 90,000 gold, which is enough.
Chen Qilin waved his hand, and those belongings disappeared out of thin air, all exchanged for 90 Heavenly Dao Points.
He secretly said: "System, spy on the information about the mastermind behind the assassination of Ying Zheng last night!"
[Ding! The mastermind behind the nine assassins in the imperial study room assassination last night was the son of Feng Quji, the right prime minister of the dynasty, together with the powerful Xu family, Ma family, and He family...]
Chen Qilin was slightly stunned when he heard about the system spying.
It turns out that Prime Minister You and dozens of wealthy families are involved in this.
This business is really big!
"Sir, how is it?" Ying Zheng asked.
Chen Qilin truthfully informed the First Emperor of the information detected by the system.
Teng!
When Ying Zheng heard about this, he stood up suddenly, furious:
"Hmph, Feng Quji, I like you so much and asked you to be my right minister, but I didn't expect you to repay me in this way!"
"Your Majesty, tell me to go immediately and chop up that wolf-hearted old thing and feed it to the dogs!" Wang Ben also said angrily.
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, and then said with murderous intent: "Wang Ben, go immediately and capture Feng Quji's family, Xu family, Ma family... all for me, and wait for the fate of Tingwei Mansion!"
"No!" Wang Ben clasped his fists heavily and followed the order.
A bloody storm is about to sweep through the Qin Dynasty again.
After Ying Zheng said goodbye and left, Chen Qilin sat on the sofa and looked at Xiao Hei who had just finished breakfast.
After thinking about it, Chen Qilin was ready to improve Xiao Hei's strength.
He himself has a fifth-level cultivation level in the Golden Core Realm, and his pet dog’s cultivation level is too high. As a master, he has no face!
Now, he has 2180 Tiandao points left.
If Chen Qilin wants to upgrade his cultivation from the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm to the sixth level, he needs 5,000 Heavenly Dao Points.
He said: "System, buy 1 high-level Beast Yuan Dan!"
[Ding! The high-level Beast Yuan Dan was purchased successfully, 100 Heavenly Dao points were deducted, and the balance is 2080 points.]
A ray of light golden light flew in front of Chen Qilin, and then turned into an elixir that looked like it was carved from light golden amber. It was crystal clear, as warm as jade, and exuded a refreshing elixir fragrance.
This product sells much better than the low-level Beast Yuan Dan. It is indeed a high-end product!
Chen Qilin nodded secretly.
Xiao Hei, who was on the side, stared at the high-level Beast Yuan Dan with his eyes fixed on it, drooling all over the floor.
Chen Qilin waved to him: "Come here!"
Xiao Hei hurriedly waggled his tail, ran up to his master, and squatted down.
"Open your mouth!"
Xiao Hei immediately opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth.
Chen Qilin flicked it casually, and the high-grade Beast Yuan Dan flew into Xiao Hei's mouth.
Buzz~
Soon, Xiao Hei's body emitted bursts of pale golden light, flickering...
