"It has been more than six hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I have never seen any kind of storms. How big a storm can a small Tubo cause? It's just a little thief meeting a loser..."
The old emperor sat calmly in the political hall. The bad news did not make any waves on his face, but dozens of officials did not dare to raise their heads and stood in several rows in front of him, and Zhao Guanren was naturally among them.
, is studying the patterns on the purple official robe.
"Li Zhiping! Come forward..."
The old emperor picked up the bowl of hot tea, took a sip, and asked tepidly: "How did you know that Tubo was connected with monsters, and still insisted that they would go south? It was you who said that Nanzhao was connected with Tubo!"
"Report to the Emperor! Not going south, but going south and out east..."
Zhao Guanren came out and cupped his hands and said: "I caught a big yellow fairy in Chaoyang Village. It said that the Black Sun Demon King called on the forest demon to go to Tibet. I thought this was wrong. The forest demon is only good at mountain warfare. It was useless when it arrived in Longyou.
, they must be attacking Jiannan Road, but how could we know that they are attacking Nanzhao because they are trying to steal the enemy!"
The old emperor frowned and said, "Do you know how many monsters there are?"
"I don't know! But most of the forest monsters are small monsters. They are good at attacking and assassinating at night, so they are definitely not the main force..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "Based on my experience, I boldly guessed that the number of soldiers would be no more than 10,000, but once they enter the mountains and forests, their strength will double. The officers and soldiers of Jiannan Road must be on strict guard, especially night attacks. Unfortunately, our Datang Town Demon Division has just been established, and it is beyond our reach.
What a pity!"
"Hmph~"
The old emperor snorted coldly and scolded: "You still have the nerve to mention the Demon Suppression Division. You have been running away for seven or eight days. Everyone thought you were hiding from debts. The Demon Suppression Division has become a mess. I trust you so much.
, is this how you repay me?"
"Your Majesty! What exactly do you want me to do to satisfy you..."
Zhao Guanren pointed to Master Kang not far away and said: "This is the Shangguan you sent. Apart from supporting him, I didn't say a word nonsense. I went to work according to his instructions that day, and gave him a few extra days.
He sorted things out, how could I be wrong?"
"Hmph~ What a eloquent person..."
Master Kang stepped forward and said bitterly: "Are you asking me to sort out the situation? You are clearly deliberately trying to embarrass me. The secret recipe is all in your head. You just slapped your ass and ran away. How can we start work while we wait?"
"Master Kang! Now the emperor has heard clearly, you can't deny it anymore..."
Zhao Guanren sneered and said: "The day before I left the city, five sets of secret recipes were sent to the Ministry of Industry. The Minister of the Ministry of Works personally sealed them with paint. I just waited for the money to arrive and then chose an auspicious day to start work. You actually said that I won't give you the secret recipe. No wonder you
You call yourself the Thirteen Taibao, but you are really good at making things up!"
"Asshole! Is there such a thing..."
The old emperor slammed the coffee table and finally couldn't help but get angry. It seemed that his composure on big things was all "extracted" from small things. The depth of the city was also admirable.
"Report to the Emperor! This is indeed the case..."
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry quickly said: "I not only handed over the official document to Zhenmo Division, asking him to quickly provide the money to start work. A few days ago, I also told Mr. Kang that if the money is not enough, we should open two workshops first. We can't just sit back and have nothing!"
"Wait!"
Master Kang exclaimed: "Master Shangshu! You did say this, but you didn't say there was a secret recipe. You just urged me to give you the money quickly!"
"Absurd! I don't blame you for keeping records of your deliberations. How dare you deny it in a blink of an eye..."
The old minister said angrily: "It is clearly stated in the official document that the craftsmanship is complete and we only need money to start the work. Your Demon Suppression Division also sent a reply, saying that there is a shortage of money and that the start of the work will be postponed. You will not start until I urge you to do so."
I’ve built two mills, but how can you do it without a secret recipe?”
"I……"
Master Kang's face suddenly turned pale.
"My lords, have you seen that he dares to deny what he said in public and has no shame at all, but he is definitely a good hand at taking power..."
Zhao Guanren mocked: "Master Kang has settled his cronies a long time ago.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Twelve people, all received first-class fat jobs. Fortunately, I had foreseen that he had ulterior motives, so he went to the countryside to attract investment and brought in more than one million taels of investment, otherwise Zhenmo Company would have closed down again!"
"Oh? So fast..."
The old emperor subconsciously sat up straight. Zhao Guanren straightened his back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty! As long as it's something I promised, why have I ever broken my promise? But I also want to ask Mr. Kang, you brought a rogue to sit in court, Baili
Hongle’s mother isn’t your concubine, is she?”
"You fart! Baili Hongle is, is..."
Master Kang pointed at him with eyes wide open, and Zhao Guanren said sarcastically: "He is the concubine of General Baili, but if his mother is not your concubine, why did you let him sit in the court like a rogue? You can't hold it in either."
, want to collude with military generals to plot big things?"
"Bitch thief! I will kill you..."
Master Kang raised his fist in embarrassment, but just when Zhao Guanren wanted to use an excuse to get angry, he suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times vigorously, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! I have betrayed you.
This crime deserves death, please give me the death penalty!"
"I will satisfy you today, come here! Drag him out and behead him in public..."
The old emperor suddenly stood up and threw all the evil fire on his head. However, according to the usual script, someone would definitely come out to persuade him and beg him to let him die. Master Kang cried and begged again and received a
Forget about punishment.
"Here!"
Four imperial guards suddenly jumped in, and the old emperor was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Manager An, who knew the emperor's heart well, was dead. The person guarding the door at the moment happened to be "Eunuch Wei", and the other officials did not want to cause trouble.
They all lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
"Your Majesty! Give Wei Chen another chance. Wei Chen realizes his mistake..."
Master Kang panicked when he saw something was wrong in the plot. When the guards held him down, he subconsciously shook the four people away. However, the shock was huge. Zhao Guanren took the opportunity to stretch his foot and trip, which happened to cause one of the guards to fall.
Fell beside the old emperor.
"Assassination! Come quickly, protect the emperor..."
Chen Guangda seized the opportunity and screamed loudly. His voice was so loud that everyone jumped. Even the old emperor had the instinct to jump back. The political hall immediately exploded.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly!"
Zhao Guanren jumped towards Master Kang. As soon as Master Kang saw him coming, the lightning flashed in his hand. The fighting instinct of a master suddenly burst out. He suddenly raised his hand and struck him with a palm. As a result, Zhao Guanren used the force to rebound and let out a
A shrill scream.
"ah!!!"
Zhao Guanren fell to the ground, and his exaggerated screams frightened the whole audience again. Unexpectedly, the old emperor did not retreat but advanced instead. He jumped over him suddenly and slapped a palm with extremely fast skills.
It hits Master Kang’s Tianling Cap.
"Dong~"
Master Kang suddenly knelt on the ground, and his knees cracked two floor tiles. Half of his head was split open, and the brain matter burst out and splashed on the old emperor's face, but he shouted angrily: "How dare you do that?"
Rebellion, do you really think you are the Thirteen Taibao?"
"Pfft~"
The old emperor struck him on the neck with his palm, and half of his head flew out at once. Hot blood spurted out from the neck cavity more than half a meter high, covering the old emperor's head and body. Not only the civil and military officials in the hall were dumbfounded.
, even the guards who just rushed in were shocked.
'I'll go! This is a master...'
Zhao Guanren, who was lying on the ground, was secretly shocked. Although Master Kang was at the bottom among the Thirteen Taibos, he was still a quasi-grandmaster. The old emperor killed him instantly as soon as he made a move. At least it was a method superior to that of a grandmaster. It was better than what he did last time.
The prediction is even stronger.
"My emperor is mighty! My emperor lives forever..."
Chen Guangda took the lead and knelt down to prostrate. Only then did all the civil and military officials in the hall react and hurriedly shouted long live together with the guards. Zhao Guanren simply touched a handful of blood on the ground, wiped it on the corner of his mouth and shouted in pain: "My emperor, Wan!
Long live, cough cough cough..."
"Hmph~ I dragged him out to feed the dogs and searched all over the house.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
cut……"
The old emperor brutally kicked over the headless corpse, turned around and said sternly: "Li Zhiping! I will give you half a year to raise military pay. Five million taels must not be missing a penny. Is there any problem?"
"No, no problem, five months is enough..."
Zhao Guanren stretched out a hand pretending to be timid, and the ferocious-looking old emperor snorted coldly, then waved his hand away with murderous intent, leaving a room full of civil and military officials looking at each other.
"Why are you standing there, dragging them out to feed the dogs..."
Chen Guangda got up and patted his robe. The guards hurriedly carried the body and head out. The other officials straightened their clothes and stood up. But Chen Guangda smiled again and said: "Prince-in-law! I'll trouble you if I ransack the house. This is not the case."
The thief must have accomplices!"
"I just feel that he is wrong. He is deliberately ruining our Demon Suppression Division. He is clearly hindering the raising of military pay..."
Zhao Guanren stood up holding the pillar, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry also said: "Who doesn't say it? I also feel that there is something fishy. Fortunately, I have been aware of it early and kept all the official correspondence. Otherwise, I would have let him rake it up. This
The rebels are so cunning!"
"My lords! Let's talk somewhere else. Someone's coming! Have hot tea and sweat towels ready..."
Chen Guangda led everyone to change rooms. Many people had blood on their bodies. They lined up to clean it when the hot water came. Chen Guangda took off his waist tag and asked people to take it to clean it. He and Zhao Guanren walked out one after another and came to the latrine.
A small empty house.
Chen Guangda closed the door and asked, "Have you ever seen someone forced to commit suicide? How is Mingquan County?"
"The surrounding area of the county is not bad, but Mingquan County is very wide, with more than 300 villages..."
Zhao Guanren whispered: "There is a cult that has brainwashed many villagers. Most of these villages are closed and xenophobic. Moreover, they do not aim at defrauding money. They continue to instill that if you dedicate your soul, you can go to heaven. This is very scary. And they are called
...The Sect of the Sun God!"
Chen Guang was surprised and asked: "Everything has been shot down today, isn't that...the Black Sun Demon King?"
"That's right! The main god they worshiped turned out to be Hou Yi, and they shaped him into a great hero who rebelled against heaven and was not afraid of power. Even his wife was abducted by the Jade Emperor..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "To put it bluntly, we are instilling revolutionary thoughts. Hou Yi has become the god of rebellion, and this sun-shooting sect is spreading everywhere. Just because it is taking a rural route, it has not attracted the attention of the court. Old Zhao is investigating
Where is their headquarters!"
Chen Guangda nodded and said: "Sure enough, I guessed it right. Money can't solve the problem!"
"I'm not afraid that they will be poor. I'm just afraid that they will be poor, stupid, and feudal. This will be very difficult..."
Zhao Guanren said depressedly: "There are many masters in the Sun Shooting Sect, and they can't do it even if they don't work hard. In a few days, I will ask Liangzi to go back and help him and set up a 'Money Sect' to kill them. If Mingquan County doesn't do it well,
, there will definitely be big trouble!"
"It's right to let Liangzi go back. In fact, the mission has already been sorted out..."
Chen Guangda lowered his voice and said: "If the Black Sun Demon King is not in Mingquan County, he is probably from Mingquan County. Mingquan will definitely have clues about it, right! How did you know that Tubo was going south? Did you really catch him?
Can’t you win a Wong Tai Sin?”
"Shit! I bumped into a postman on the way, and when I asked, I found out that Tubo was heading south..."
Zhao Guanren said strangely: "But Tubo's response was too fast, and flying pigeons couldn't pass messages that fast. I suspect they have set up a military intelligence reporting station, such as monitoring our waistbands, setting up points at regular intervals, and sending messages on the same day.
I can get the message across!”
"Hmph~ If this is really the case, your father-in-law and I will definitely have a hand in it..."
Chen Guangda sneered and said: "If the Zhao family had not sent a message to Tubo, how could Tubo dare to risk everything, but you should hurry up and catch Baili Hongle. He or the person behind him must be the core soul killer. Bring more people.
This time the Thirteen Taibao hates you too!"
"Be careful yourself, I'll go find Liangzi right away and put them all in one pot..."
