In Xianyang Palace, Li Si was kneeling in the center of the empty hall.
Ying Zheng's narrow eyes revealed a terrifying chill. He pinched the Emperor Zhou's jade seal and threw the precious treasure to the ground.
"Yan Lu is a descendant of the Ji surname, and a member of the Qilin Society. Ridiculous. What did the education of the highest talent in Da Qin teach me!"
Sword Master Genie, who had served for more than twenty years, defected;
Jingpingjun Nongyu, the widow of Imperial Master Lu Yan, defected;
Mr. Yan Lu of Central Academy is also rebellious.
In just a few months, such vicious incidents occurred continuously within the empire. The emperor and the entire country were completely disgraced.
Li Si knew that Ying Zheng was extremely angry, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have sent a net to hunt down Yan Lu. As long as he is in Xianyang, he will be captured by now."
"As long as he is in Xianyang." Ying Zheng stepped out of the throne and stood in the main hall, breathing deeply, "Li Si, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, these evidences were sealed by the Qilin Society in a box with Shiquan Jiazi lock. In order to unlock the Jiazi lock, I summoned Gongshu Qiu, Master Xu. The journey took quite a while. If the Qilin Society responded, then Yan Yan
I’m afraid the road…”
The headquarters of the Qilin Society was blown up, and this crucial box was not taken away by Nong Yu and others for some unknown reason. Normally, Yan Lu, who is extremely dangerous, should have escaped before Luo Sheng could pry open the Jiazi lock.
Xianyang.
Then there is something to be said.
Gai Nie defected, but Luo Wang didn't catch him; Nong Yu defected, but Luo Wang didn't catch him; Yan Lu defected, but Luo Wang probably didn't catch him.
Ying Zheng took two more steps and picked up Tian Wen from the sword stand, "So, Yan Lu also escaped."
Facing Ying Zheng like this, Li Si felt his heartbeat suddenly stop and did not answer the call immediately.
"Come here, summon Fu Nian for me."
…
In the Central Academy, the blue sword energy filled the sky, a majestic and vast power that overwhelmed countless people and found it difficult to breathe.
"If you want to arrest someone from our academy, let Prime Minister Li come here in person, or take out His Majesty the Emperor's edict, otherwise!"
Fu Nian had an angry look on his face, his eyebrows were flying, and he was holding Tai'a Sword in his hand, facing the Seven Evil Swords of Luowang alone, and his momentum was not at a disadvantage.
Tian Meng looked at Fu Nian's stubborn look and was helpless for a moment.
In the imperial court, apart from the emperor, there were only a few people who had a higher status than Fu Nian, including the prime ministers and censors.
Anyway, Tian Meng's turn was far away, so he couldn't really attack Fu Nian forcefully, so he just killed Fu Nian.
Tian Meng looked around and ordered everyone to put their swords back, "Don't be rude, put your swords down."
"Mr. Fu Nian, Yan Lu is a traitor to the empire, and the Prime Minister personally ordered his arrest. Since you believe that he is not a traitor, let me ask you, where is Yan Lu at this time."
Where is Yan Lu?
Fu Nian is really not clear on this issue.
At this moment, Zhang Liang hurried to the scene, and Fu Nian immediately asked: "Zifang, where is Yan Luren?"
Zhang Liang looked embarrassed and shook his head, "Senior Brother, I have searched everywhere and found no trace of him."
Rebellion in the empire, Second Senior Brother, this is what you call getting yourself burned. Such a price is inevitable...
"What, could it be that Yan Lu really..."
When Fu Nian heard the news, his energy and blood suddenly surged, and the overwhelming sword energy gradually dissipated.
Whenever Yan Lufan wants to go on a long journey, he will definitely come to greet his senior brother. This is etiquette.
But at such a moment, he was nowhere to be seen. The so-called rebellion may have been confirmed.
"Yan Lu, you, what on earth are you going to do."
Fu Nian took half a step back, the Tai'a sword in his hand sharpened sharply, and the cracks on the ground were quietly widening.
Tian Meng glanced at Zhang Liang, then clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Fu Nian, the matter has come to an end. Luo Wang wants to thoroughly investigate the Central Academy. I dare you to give me a convenience."
Phew~
A black figure flashed out.
"Your Majesty summons Fu Nian to enter the palace immediately."
Zhang Liang glanced at this person cryptically, feeling quite worried: It's him, Shadow Guard Sima Xin. The second senior brother became rebellious, Ying Zheng summoned the senior brother, and the situation was not good. The senior brother responded to Ying Zheng...
"Zifang, you are responsible for cooperating in the search of the net. I will enter the palace to meet His Majesty."
Fu Nian sheathed the Tai'a Sword and handed it to Zhang Liang, and then warned, "Remember to appease the students and minimize the impact."
"Yes, senior brother."
"Please, Zifang."
"Um."
Zhang Liang responded to the instructions, then looked at the ferocious killers in the trap, clasped his fists and said: "Everyone, there are countless precious classics in the Central Academy. To prevent the classics from being damaged, the ovary will accompany you during the search."
Tian Meng looked him up and down and frowned, "Mr. Zhang Liang, Yan Lu is rebellious. According to the laws of the empire, you will only be a suspect."
"Sir Tian Meng, Zifang's entourage is in full view of everyone. How can he still do anything under the eyes of a first-class expert from Tianzi?"
"..." Tian Meng nodded and walked past Zhang Liang, "Then just watch, sir. Everyone, go in and search. Remember, be careful and meticulous."
"yes."
"..."
Zhang Liang sighed on the spot and followed.
…
Yan Lu's true identity was finally exposed after more than twenty years. The second master of the Confucian Little Sage Village, a mysterious "drawing master" in the world, turned out to be of the blood of Emperor Zhou.
When the Qin Kingdom fell to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was true that the Emperor Zhou's jade seal was never found. However, it was not that important, so no one cared about it.
But Yan Lu, a child of the emperor's blood, shouldn't have done it. How could the trap at that time miss such a future problem?
These things that happened more than 20 years ago can be vaguely restored in the Luowang files. The young Yan Lu at that time was lucky enough to escape the genocide of Luowang precisely because of his master Wuming.
For more than 20 years, Yan Lu hid his identity and only studied knowledge with peace of mind, never causing trouble in the world. In the end, he even entered the Imperial Central Academy to teach students. At the same time, he also provided intelligence from the Imperial Central Committee to the anti-Qin force Qilin Society.
.
After sorting this out, everyone was frightened by Yan Lu. The former King of Yue, Gou Jian, could only do this while lying on his back.
What's even more frightening is that Yan Lu's image of "a humble gentleman who has nothing to fight for" might have been maintained for decades if his identity hadn't been exposed today. What kind of terrifying acting and mental skills this is.
Mr. Yan Lu, an important figure in Confucianism, collapsed this time. His collapse was not only his personal matter, but also affected the entire Confucianism. From then on, he became Ying Zheng's blacklist.
Mount Tai was about to be enshrined. Originally, Ying Zheng had left this professional matter to Confucianism. After all, Confucianism had indeed had no problems under the leadership of Fu Nian.
But as soon as the Yan Lu incident happened——
It turns out that you are an internal agent of the Qilin Society. It turns out that you planned to assassinate the emperor during the Zen Conferment Ceremony in Mount Tai!
Ying Zheng was furious, and all the personnel of the Confucian faction were cut off from the Taishan Zen Ceremony. I don't need any etiquette.
Fu Nian, as the dean of the Central Academy, Yan Lu's elder brother, and the leader of Confucianism, was investigated by Ying Zheng and removed from the position of dean. The Confucian forces within the empire suffered unprecedented heavy losses.
