Chapter 46: People Are Not as Good as Heaven (End of Volume 1)
Three days later.
Xia Yi sat in the yard, watching the gardener Wu Jing planting onions, leisurely.
It had been three days since he killed Feng Shuhu, which had caused quite a stir in Lieyang City, but for Xia Yi, the stir was very small. It seemed that the somewhat dirty back-up plan he had originally prepared was no longer needed.
What he is more concerned about now is where is the player Shi Lai who has not appeared for three full days?
Squeak——
With the sound of the door opening, Chen Guang walked out of a side room. He was covered in bandages and walked neatly. He seemed to be fine, but his spirit was a little depressed.
This is normal. After a great revenge was avenged, he felt empty and somewhat lost his direction.
"How's it going? Have you figured out how to live your life in the future?" Xia Yi asked him.
Chen Guang shook his head: "If the teacher doesn't mind, I will eat and drink with you for a while and pick up the practice that I have almost forgotten."
"I dislike it." Xia Yi said with a smile: "The holy soul of Yiyin decoction cannot be branded in vain. When you recover from your injury, I will resign as the cook at home."
Chen Guang was startled and smiled: "I understand."
The two masters and apprentices fell silent. Chen Guang sat next to Xia Yi and also looked at Wu Jing Zong Cong.
Wu Jing became more and more unnatural, finished the work in a hurry, and sneaked back to the lower room with greetings.
Chen Guang then spoke: "Teacher, as I recall these past three days, you killed the second junior brother not just for me, right? But... you had a premeditated plan?"
"Yes, I took advantage of you."
"You are joking. If this is called taking advantage, I think there are countless people in the world who want to be taken advantage of... Do you have any grudge against the second junior brother?"
Xia Yi shook his head: "No, but he is playing tricks on Xiaoxian. There are some things that even Xiaoxian herself doesn't know. Behind her is the final inheritance of a thousand-year-old family, and her mother also died for this... Remember
Confidential."
Chen Guang was surprised: "Teacher, you don't need to tell me about this kind of thing."
"It's okay, don't leave any grudges between master and disciple, and I trust you." Xia Yi smiled and said: "It's not just Feng Shuhu who covets the inheritance of the little immortal, but also the prime minister and the people behind him.
Probably because Xiaoxian’s mother didn’t give them any harvest back then, they adopted a gentle approach.”
"Feng Mo marries Xiaoxian, killing two birds with one stone."
Chen Guang suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Xia Yi nodded: "So since I confirmed that Feng Shuhu was the person behind the scenes, I have been planning to kill him, and I just took advantage of your opportunity. In this way, even if the news reaches the prime minister, he will not know about me
Knowing the inheritance of Xiaoxian, I only think it is caused by the grudge between you and Feng Shuhu."
"The next revenge will be relatively light, so that I can... eradicate all the roots of the prime minister's subordinates bit by bit!"
"Teacher has great foresight." Chen Guang pondered for a moment and said in admiration, then asked again: "The second junior brother is the governor of Zhizhou after all. What if revenge comes from the right path?"
"Then it's up to Ma Chen. The commander and deputy commander of Jiedushi knew everything, so I kept him, and it wasn't for nothing." Xia Yi said with a smile: "Calculating the time and the speed of the rail carriage,
It’s time for a response from the Prime Minister.”
…
Dacheng Capital City, Nanji.
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Palace, sitting on the main seat, is a charming middle-aged man with an erect look, eyebrows like a red phoenix and a lying silkworm, square lips and a square mouth.
It is none other than Prime Minister Dazheng, Han Chuanzhong!
He was wearing a casual home robe with no pearl jewelry embellishment, but anyone who really knew anything knew that the mink demon fur on it was the most precious and rare treasure today.
Looking at the crying woman in palace clothes next to him, he sighed softly and said: "Stop crying, Wan'er, Shu Hu and Mo'er's enemies will take revenge!"
"...Then why don't you hurry up and send people to escort the thieves to the capital? I want to watch them! Watch them be executed!"
Han Chuanzhong was silent for a moment and said: "Ma Chen, the commander of Lieyang City, sent three memorials in succession. The first was to accuse Shuhu of secretly transferring monks to the camp without the king's order. The second was to accuse Shuhu of persecuting fellow sects of the Holy Academy 35 years ago. The third was to accuse Shuhu.
During his tenure, he embezzled military pay..."
"Nonsense!" The woman in palace clothes interrupted with sobs: "That bastard Ma Chen...he is talking nonsense! Not mentioning the first two, I have opened 11 restaurants and inns in Lieyang City, how could Shuhu go there?
Embezzling military pay? He’s talking nonsense!”
"This matter is also mentioned in the memorial. Did you earn the money for opening the restaurant bit by bit?" Han Chuanzhong asked slowly.
"That's not you..."
“Where does my money come from?”
The woman in palace clothes was speechless.
Han Chuanzhong shook his head: "This matter is nothing in isolation, but the first two are corroborated by Song Qu, the vindicated prince. The king... is furious!"
The woman in palace clothes trembled and cried, grabbing Han Chuanzhong's hand: "Father, are you not going to avenge the revenge of Shu Hu and Mo'er?"
"Of course I have to report! But it will be difficult to escort the thieves to the capital..." Han Chuanzhong replied: "It's not necessary. I will send people directly to take their lives and comfort Shuhu and Mo'er's spirits in heaven. Wan'er,
During these days, you just stay at home and wait for the results."
"Prime Minister Han, something is wrong." At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted, causing Han Chuanzhong to look sideways.
On the seat at the bottom, a middle-aged man with extremely small eyes, protruding cheeks, and a hooked nose, with an ugly appearance, put down the paper in his hand.
"What did Mr. Duan teach me?"
This person's surname was Duan He, a think tank on the staff of the Prime Minister's Office. Duan He pointed at the paper he had just put down and said: "I looked at the information in it and felt that it was somewhat deliberate. The six-star Kaiyang monk, whether it was the first
The deceptive sowing of scriptures and the later divine gift ceremony of the Four Little Talents all seemed to be deliberately targeting General Feng Shuhu and Feng Moxian’s nephew.”
Han Chuanzhong's expression condensed and he thought about it carefully.
"Zhou Xiaoxian? Xia Family?!"
"Xiang Han Ming Jian!" Duan He moved his cheeks slightly and praised graciously.
"Xia family?" The woman in palace clothes whispered, "Is that... the Xia family for which you want Mo'er to marry a village girl?"
"You don't understand." Han Chuanzhong said in a deep voice.
"The Xia family was a large human clan eight hundred years ago. Three kings were born in the clan, and they were all extraordinary. Not only that, Taizu of the Wei Dynasty accidentally entered an underground tomb when he was young, which laid the foundation for becoming a king.
Until now, the Wei Dynasty has been the most powerful country in the human race! And according to the legend, that is the resting place of a strong man from the Xia family!"
Han Chuanzhong took a deep breath and said: "Is it for the inheritance of the Xia family? If so... Mr. Duan, go ask Mr. Yue to talk to me."
There are countless people with the surname Yue, but the one who was solemnly invited in the Korean biography is Yue Ming, one of the 36 Tiangang Stars of the human race! Da Zheng, whose national power is not strong, has only three Tiangang Stars, and is the strongest among the kings!
…
In Xia Yi's small courtyard, after thinking for a while, he tapped the ground with his index finger and said: "Things may not go exactly as I imagined. You can't underestimate any enemy."
"Perhaps the other party can see through my arrangement. The people who come to kill us are even a little troublesome for me to deal with... Well, I'll show you how to deal with them."
"Of course, the chance of this is very small. Even if the other party sees through it, there will be another branch possibility." Xia Yi tapped the ground, "As far as I know, King Zheng Zheng is a tyrant recognized by the world.
He drank and had fun every day, kept company with the beauties in his harem, and ignored government affairs. As a result, Prime Minister Han Chuanzhong had power over half of the country...but only half of the country."
"If he was really just a simple tyrant, he should have been dismissed long ago. The person who killed Xiaoxian's mother was also the tyrant. I don't believe that he would know nothing about Han Chuanzhong's actions."
…
The capital city of Nanji is a remote alley.
Duan He looked around and found that there were sword-wielding men in bright armor blocking the way. He shook his head helplessly, "Mingguang Armor, two five-star Yuheng guards commanders personally took action to deal with a mere ordinary person, Your Majesty."
Are you finally going to take action against Prime Minister Han, am I the first one to kill?"
"Mr. Duan misunderstood, we are just here to invite you into the palace, we will not kill you."
"Entering the palace? If you go in, it might be difficult to come out." Duan He sighed, squinting his little eyes.
…
In Xia Yi's small courtyard, Xia Yi stopped tapping his fingers slightly and looked at Chen Guangdao: "I don't know why, but I suddenly have an ominous premonition."
Chen Guang was startled: "I admire your foresight for your foresight. Based on your strategy, there will probably be no more trouble."
"Not necessarily, manpower is sometimes scarce..."
…
In the capital city of Nanji, two five-star Yuheng-level commanders of the imperial army fell silently in a corner, clutching the bloody holes in their necks with horror on their faces.
"I can't stay in Nanji any longer." Duan He stood aside and murmured: "Just in time, I'm tired of being the aide to Prime Minister Lao Shizi. The piece of information about the crazy villagers that Feng Shuhu sent me, was ignored by them.
It makes me care a lot.”
The two blood-stained front teeth were slowly taken back into his mouth and licked lightly with his tongue.
