Chapter 67 Holy Son! Isn't this the Holy Son? (Ask for a monthly ticket)
…
There is no airtight wall in this world.
Moreover, the larger the melon, the faster it spreads.
It had only been less than half a day since Meng Yuanbai led people directly into Dingguo Palace and Wang Shouzhe was placed under house arrest. This incident had already been widely spread in Shangjing City, and the suspicion of Wang family in Changning for smuggling and collaborating with the enemy was also fueled by "intentional people"
It spread rapidly and soon became almost unknown and unknown to everyone.
For a time, the entire Shangjing City was boiling.
You must know that the Changning Wang family has been the most popular family in Shangjing City in the past two years. First, Li Yao's genius swept Shangjing, and then he teamed up with Prince An to create the "Dala Reclamation Joint Division", which attracted all major
The aristocratic family injected capital and the momentum was huge, successfully creating a wave of momentum for Prince An.
It’s only in the past six months or so that it has calmed down for a while, and I haven’t heard any big news anymore.
In view of the big news caused by the Changning Wang family, there have been rumors in the capital city in the past two years that the Changning Wang family is very ambitious. This time, they may want to take advantage of the dispute between the emperor and his son to directly enter the third rank.
The ranks of aristocratic families.
Who would have thought that in just two years of glory, the Changning Wang family would be involved in such a big thing?
Smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, any one of these two crimes is enough to put a sixth-grade family in ruins, let alone two crimes put together?
For a time, rumors about the Changning Wang family "harboring evil intentions" and "the nouveau riche are unreliable" were rampant, and countless people were added to the trouble.
Although the investigation results have not yet come out, and the charges against Wang from Changning have not yet been confirmed, the direction of the investigation is completely one-sided.
The Changning Wang family seems to have been nailed to the pillar of shame. Even speaking for the Changning Wang family has become a "principled mistake" and will be ridiculed by other people at every turn.
Those aristocratic families that had previously invested in the Dalai Lama Joint Redevelopment Department are even more panic-stricken, and several aristocratic families have already considered withdrawing their investment.
…
Wanyao Tower.
On the stairs going from the second floor to the first floor, there was a burst of happy laughter. Two young men in brocade clothes were walking side by side laughing and strolling down the stairs.
"Hahaha~ The Wang family of Changning is completely unable to turn over now." Among them, the younger-looking young man smelled of alcohol and laughed happily, "How dare you go against our Zhao family, they deserve misfortune!
"
The other young man next to him looks much older than him, and his strength is not bad, but his temperament is a bit submissive, as if he puts the young man next to him first in everything.
Hearing the young master's words, he smiled and complimented: "That's natural. The Changning Wang family is just a small sixth-grade family. They just relied on good luck to produce two great geniuses. How can they follow the
Compared to the second-grade Zhao family?"
"That's right!" The young master felt comfortable and laughed again. Then he patted the shoulder of the young man next to him and said, "Don't worry, follow me from now on. No one will dare to bully you. Then.
The Changning Wang family is just a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be able to jump around for long. I have already heard the news from my grandpa Zeng. Just look at it, the Changning Wang family is dead this time! Even King Daqian
You will definitely not be able to escape the crime of covering up!"
However.
Not long after he was proud, he turned a corner of the stairs and bumped into two other people.
At the bottom of the stairs, a young man in black attire glared at him and said coldly: "Zhao Yuandi, what did you just say?"
This young man, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a good temperament, is clearly Wang Annan of the Daqian Wang family.
Next to him, there was a young man standing with a stout figure and a huge body. He turned out to be Shangguan Yunhong.
Wang Annan and Shangguan Yunhong are both Beijing geniuses. Naturally, they have known each other for a long time, but they are not very familiar with each other. But in recent days, perhaps because of "sympathizing with each other", the two have gradually become closer, and occasionally meet each other. Make an appointment to have a meal or drink together.
Today, Wang Annan was in a bad mood, so he asked Shangguan Yunhong out for a drink.
Who would have thought that before we even got to the box, we would unexpectedly run into this guy Zhao Yuandi!
Originally, he overheard many people talking about the Wang family in Changning along the way, and he was in a bad mood. When he heard Zhao Yuandi's words, he was even more angry and exploded.
"Oh~ Who am I talking about? It turns out it's 'Wang Annan who is lame and showing off to everyone'~" The young man upstairs was not afraid at all. Instead, he mocked Wang Annan a few words under the influence of wine, and then said, "Why? , the Changning Wang family has done good deeds and killed themselves, and why don't they let others talk about it?"
This young master is naturally the Zhao Yuandi that Wang Annan calls him.
Others were afraid of Wang Annan's family background, but Zhao Yuandi was not afraid, and naturally spoke without restraint.
"Hmph! The investigation results haven't come out yet. It's still unclear whether the Changning Wang family is guilty or not. Even Director Meng only dares to say 'suspect', but you are capable. You actually have the ability to convict people in advance!" Wang Annan snorted coldly, He immediately retorted, "You actually have the nerve to ridicule me. Where were you when Aunt Liyao tried her best to go to the capital? You are just a defeated general of mine, a coward who can't afford to lose. You're a coward!"
Among the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People" in Beijing, it is naturally impossible that there are no young people from the Zhao family. Zhao Yuanqing has been relatively low-key before because he has not yet broken through to the realm of heaven and humanity, but Zhao Yuandi is on the list, and he has been there before He competed with Wang Annan for the third position, and his strength is not weak.
However, Zhao Yuandi saw that the situation was not going well, so he used the excuse of seclusion and hunkered down, without even raising his head, so naturally he avoided embarrassment.
Because of this incident, Wang Annan had been unhappy with him for a long time, and now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally not be polite.
"Wang Annan, you are looking for death!" Zhao Yuandi's expression changed as soon as he heard these words, "How could I have lost to you if I hadn't lacked a handy weapon? Do you really think that you must be stronger than me?! Today , Young Master, I have to open your eyes and let you see the power of my Zhao family's 'Soaring Snake Sword Technique'!"
"Hmph! I also learned a few tricks from my Aunt Li Yao, and I just want to test the sword with you today!" Wang Annan was naturally not to be outdone.
"Let's go! Get on the ring!"
"Get in the ring!"
There are often frictions among the young people in Shangjing City, and naturally there is a competition arena in Wanyao Tower. The two of them had a disagreement, and they went straight to the arena.
The older young man and Shangguan Yunhong who were following him were a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but look at each other.
An hour later.
Wang Annan returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion and his small courtyard with a face that had multiple sword marks and tattered clothes.
Wang Annan had just torn off his clothes, and before he could heal his injuries, his father Wang Wanganda got the news and rushed over.
"You kid, did you get into trouble outside again?" Wang Wangda cursed loudly when they met.
Wang Annan explained the situation in detail.
He knew very well what kind of temper his father had, and he did not think that he could hide this matter. When he spoke, he was already prepared to be scolded or even beaten by his father.
Unexpectedly.
Wang Guangda did not scold him directly, but asked: "Winning or losing?"
"We won." Wang Annan responded dully, "I broke his leg."
"Broken his leg?" Wang Wangda raised his eyebrows, and his face suddenly showed an expression of hatred for iron. "You started too lightly! With such a good opportunity, you actually only broke his legs and it was over?"
Wang Annan slowly opened his mouth with a confused expression: "Dad, haven't you always opposed my fighting?"
"Can this be the same thing? You were the one who got into trouble before. If I hadn't been more ruthless, how could there be a staircase at home? Besides, the injuries you sustained looked tragic. When did you break your muscles and bones?"
Da rolled his eyes, "This time it was Fourth Grandpa Shouzhe who suffered a big loss. Even a fool could guess that Zhao was behind it. Don't say you broke one of Zhao Yuandi's legs now, even if you broke three of his legs."
Even if the legs are broken, they can still be rounded. If we don’t take advantage of this moment and give it a serious blow, where will there be such a good opportunity in the future?”
Wang Annan was dumbfounded.
He felt that he had lived so long, as if he had met his father for the first time and encouraged him to fight.
…
The Wang family's smuggling and collaborating with the enemy naturally spread to the palace.
Royal Palace.
Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
The simple and heavy desk was piled full of memorials, which was in sharp contrast to the twos and threes of memorials in the past.
Emperor Longchang's face was as gloomy as water, and his mood seemed to be indescribably depressed.
These are all leaks about the impeachment of Wang Shouzhe and the Wang family of Changning by officials at all levels. There are even many leaks about the impeachment of the Duke Dingguo for harboring criminals who collaborated with the enemy, obstructing the three departments from handling the case, and should be deprived of the Duke's title. Maybe they collaborated with the enemy behind the scenes and betrayed the country.
The main culprit is Duke Dingguo.
According to the current popularity of the Wang family for collaborating with the enemy, it is natural for them to be surrounded by so many people. Even the small vendors on the roadside will spit out star seeds when talking about the Wang family and Wang Shouzhe in Changning to express their respect for the Wang family.
disdain.
But what is unreasonable is that these statements full of rubbish actually passed the cabinet review and were all submitted to the Humble Administrator's Cabinet.
In the words of Zhao Hongbo, the chief minister of the cabinet, this case is a major matter, and many memorials involve Duke Dingguo. Due to the authority of the cabinet, it is unable to make a ruling on a case at the level of a prince, and can only be handed over to His Majesty for personal handling.
"Your Majesty..." Old Yao personally brought a cup of tea and said with a smile, "This is the [Purple Luo Dao Tea] I got from Xianting some time ago. It has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and nourishing the mind. If you don't want to drink it, I will
You can bring it to Young Master An Ye, who is growing up." Wang Anye was so lovable that Lao Yao was also captured.
Generally speaking, the so-called fairy tea is often just a general term for high-quality spiritual tea. How can real fairy tea be so easy to obtain? Ziluodao tea is different. This tea comes from an eleventh-order Taoist tea tree.
It often takes decades to produce one crop.
Not to mention that the price is extremely expensive, it is impossible to buy it unless you are a truly powerful person or a person with great power. This tea is already an extremely luxurious item even in Immortal Court.
Although Emperor Longchang was unhappy, he would not have trouble with money. He rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You old guy, you are here to help Anye to use my supplies again. He is a big kid, what kind of tea can he drink?"
Give him a tael later, no, give him more spiritual meat to eat, just to drink less tea when he is growing up."
After saying that, Emperor Longchang took the tea and took a sip of it. He felt much better, and then he shouted: "That old dog Zhao Hongbo, it's clear that he wants to use me to attack dissidents."
"You said that for the sake of the dispute between the emperor and his son, it is reasonable to target the Wang family of Changning. But now, you have actually expanded the scope of the attack and are preparing to implicate the Duke Dingguo's palace."
"It's been so many years, the Duke Ding's mansion is already so miserable, the Duke Ding's mansion is already so miserable. It used to be a dignified second-class family, but now it's not even as good as the Gongye clan and the Chen clan. Could it be that you are still thinking about bringing Dingguo to the throne?
Is the Duke's Mansion completely reduced to dust? You have to be merciful and you don't understand the principle of merciful treatment?"
"This... Your Majesty." Lao Yao reminded kindly, "This is your first lead."
"Is this...is there any?" Emperor Longchang blinked, "Back then, the ancestor of the Wang family Dingxuan was a hero who followed his ancestors to conquer the country. I just saw the Wang family drifting, so I gave him a warning.
That’s all.”
"Yes, yes, yes, the old slave remembered it wrong." Old Yao laughed playfully, "It's just your majesty's beating that lasted for more than three thousand years. It is said that it was the Wang family, and even a copper mountain was beaten flat.
Already."
"Hey, you old man, you are deliberately trying to get into trouble with me today, right?" Emperor Longchang was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, "Aren't you just scolding me? You hit the Wang family too much just to make yourself unhappy, but instead
Did it fuel Zhao's arrogance and raise a big tiger?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't say anything." Old Yao looked innocent.
"Old Yao, you have changed." Emperor Longchang said sadly, "You were not like this before. Why are you so vicious to me now? Huh, you must have learned from Wang Shouzhe. It's him, right?
, it’s him who brought out a series of bad habits.”
"Your Majesty, these memorials... do you want me to send them back to the cabinet for re-screening?" Old Yao changed the subject in a low voice.
"Burn them all." Emperor Longchang waved his hand.
"Burn, burn? Your Majesty, isn't this inappropriate?" Old Yao was stunned.
"I'll burn it if I tell you to." Emperor Longchang said nonchalantly, "Anyway, in their eyes, I am just a fading emperor. I am old, so what if I am willful? They can still bite me.
!?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao accepted the order helplessly.
"Wait a minute." Emperor Longchang said solemnly, "Don't let this news reach the ears of the Wang family. They are still young, and it will be useless to get involved in this matter."
"Your Majesty, do you also doubt Wang Shouzhe?" Old Yao asked in a low voice.
"I've seen the portrait of that boy. He looks like a young man with oily hair and a powdery face. He looks like a treacherous man at first glance." Emperor Longchang waved his hand and said, "It's reasonable to do any bad thing. Go ahead, don't worry.
I."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao secretly chuckled. His Majesty's "disgust" for Wang Shouzhe seemed to have penetrated deeply into his instincts.
…
same time period.
The main residence of Duke Anguo has a garden covering an area of more than ten acres, with countless exotic flowers and plants, full of vitality and rich historical charm.
This is one of the spiritual acupoints with the strongest aura in the entire Duke Anguo Mansion, and it is also the residence of Zhao Zhikun, the contemporary type of supernatural power of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zhikun's first wife was not the legitimate daughter of a certain aristocratic family in Guilong City, but a fairy he met by chance when he was traveling in the Immortal Dynasty when he was over a hundred years old.
After experiencing a series of bizarre stories that can be called legendary, the two became more and more deeply in love, and then discovered that the fairy turned out to be the legitimate second daughter of the Jiang family, a first-class family in Xianting.
After encountering a series of objections from the woman's family and the woman's persistence, Zhao Zhikun finally embraced the beauty.
Because Zhao Zhikun was an extraordinary person both in appearance and beauty, he would often take Mr. Jiang and his children to live with Mr. Jiang in Xianting, and he was very close to Ms. Jiang.
Over time, the Jiang family gradually accepted this abnormal marriage, and also accepted Zhao Zhikun, a son-in-law who seemed to be very good overall. After all, even in a first-class family, a monk in the supernatural realm is a big boss.
What's more, he is very likely to take over as the chief minister of the Donggan Kingdom's cabinet in the future. It is not a loss for an outstanding legitimate daughter to marry him.
If you look into it carefully, Zhao Zhikun has had good luck and opportunities in his life, just like the male protagonist in the legendary storybook. Overall, his life has been smooth sailing and he has not suffered too many setbacks.
However, on this day, his expression was very solemn.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, as if he was deep in thought.
In front of his desk, an old man with a white beard and wrinkles on his face stood slightly bowed and said: "Master Kun, this matter does seem a bit strange. You asked me to inquire about Wang's smuggling
When the information about collaborating with the enemy was received, Meng Yuanbai, the director of the Sancai Department, had already personally led several experts to hunt down the murderer."
"After doing some research, I discovered that after Meng Yuanbai and his party left Guilong City, they headed southwest."
This old man's name is Zhao Kui, and he is from a collateral line of the Zhao family. Because of his extremely outstanding talent since childhood, he was included in the Zhao family's general system. With hard work and talent, he broke through the siege and gradually reached the Zifu realm.
On the one hand, it shows his perseverance and determination, and on the other hand, it also reflects the rich heritage of the Zhao family. As long as the circumstances are right, even the generals of the family can be trained to become the Purple Mansion Realm! This needs to be placed in a remote place, and it is a proper one.
The overlord of one side.
However, after Zhao Kui was promoted to the Zifu realm, his status was also improved accordingly. His status in the Zhao family was not inferior to that of the elders, and he received all the necessary benefits.
When the younger generations of the Zhao family saw him, they all wanted to address him as Mr. Kui. When he was out of the house, his status was respected, and no one dared to look down upon him casually.
When the family's supernatural powers went out to practice, Zhao Kui accompanied him as a guardian and even witnessed the emotional upheavals between Zhao Yuankun and his wife.
So from now on, Zhao Kui has been working with Zhao Yuankun, and has won Zhao Yuankun's trust.
Listening to Zhao Kui's words, Zhao Zhikun's face became even more sinister and ugly, and he said solemnly: "When the Sancai Division said they wanted to investigate Wang's taxes, but found out that Wang was suspected of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy, I already felt a little bit.
Something is wrong. Now that Meng Yuanbai is going in that direction, it obviously coincides with our line."
"Master Kun, is it really the Wang family who discovered something fishy and used our line as bait to throw to Sancai Si?" Zhao Kui obviously thought of this and said in a deep voice, "What a Wang family, what a Wang Shouzhe
, actually want to use the hands of Sancai Si to deal with us."
"Fortunately, Meng Yuanbai is going to the southwest, obviously he wants to grab the stolen goods at the checkpoint." Zhao Zhikun's eyes showed a stern look, "You must rush in front of Meng Yuanbai, stop the hidden line, and completely
Erase all traces."
"Master Kun, this... they have been working for us for many years and have established..." Zhao Kui was obviously a little soft-hearted, "and they are also members of our Zhao family."
"Since Wang is aware of it, he might have discovered something secretly. This matter is of great importance and may even affect the battle between the emperor and his son. Mr. Kui, now is not the time to be merciful." Zhao Zhikun said coldly,
"Before the ultimate goal, some sacrifices are necessary."
"Yes, Master Kun." Zhao Kui gritted his teeth, "I will definitely deal with it."
…
Anjiang~
This is a giant river that winds in nine turns and separates the east and west lands.
Not only did it nurture the people along the Daqian River, it also went southwest and ran through the entire territory of Southern Qin. Once upon a time, Southern Qin occupied the upper reaches, trying to intercept the water of Anjiang to store floods, and use drought or floods to target Daqian.
Unexpectedly, he was jointly suppressed by Daqian and the ancestor dragon of Nanhuang Ancient Ze, and lost thousands of miles.
Since then, Nan Qin has been honest.
Night, full moon.
A team of river boats flying the flag of the Jiaolong Gang expertly navigated the sharp bends and turbulence of the river, avoiding the hidden reefs and hidden whirlpools in the river with familiarity.
The ship has a heavy draft, but because of this, it moves more steadily than ordinary river ships.
On the first river boat, in the bow cabin, two strong men with a savage air were eating meat and drinking wine.
"Seventh Brother~ After finishing this job, I have earned enough money." Peng Sailong, the ninth head of the Jiaolong Gang, said while sipping wine, "Kui Lao once promised me that as long as he works for twenty years, he will give me Create a new identity, buy a storefront in a remote acropolis, and become a shopkeeper."
"Old Jiu, I'm tired of talking about it." Zhao Bailang, the seventh leader of the Jiaolong Gang, sighed, "But I'm different from you. I originally came from a good background, but I was assigned by Mr. Kui to join the Jiaolong Gang to atone for my sins because I made a mistake. Over the past few years, we have taken advantage of the Jiaolong Gang's dominant position in the Daqian'an River section to transport so many things there without telling the master, and have made so much illicit money. In my heart, I always feel extremely guilty."
"However, Mr. Kui has always been kind-hearted. If I beg for mercy from him, he will probably be able to give me a way to survive. Just be afraid..." When he talked about this, Zhao Bailang's eyes showed a hint of fear and jealousy.
"Brother Qi, I vaguely heard that Mr. Kui was following that person... Is this true or false?"
"Old Jiu, be careful! You must never say anything about this."
"I also discovered this incident by accident. Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I will definitely keep it secret. It's just that in the past two years, that person's appetite has grown bigger and bigger, and he even urged us to use Changning Guard's huge iron consumption to cover up this matter. Traces... Brother Qi, I always feel a little uneasy."
"It is true that it is too frequent and the amount is too large. It is too risky to do this. The boss is straightforward and easy to hide, but Jiang Yusong... After finishing this job, I have to talk to Mr. Kui... I have to stop for a while."
While the two of them exchanged words with each other, the fleet continued to meander along the An River.
Just as the fleet passed through a turbulent and sharp bend, a masked man in black fell from the sky on the shore. He was suspended on a rugged rock with his hands on his back. His slightly older eyes looked at the people passing by not far away. A hint of unbearability flashed across the eyes of the Jiaolong Gang fleet, but was soon replaced by a look of perseverance.
Who dares to disobey Master Kun's instructions, and who can disobey them?
Just when he was about to take action.
Suddenly.
Under the light of the full moon, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the water. She was wearing an ice-blue dress, a veil on her face, and her snow-white hair was blowing in the wind.
She walked towards Zhao Kui casually, stepping on the top of the wave with every step. But the top of the wave did not fall back, but turned into a sharp icicle.
The endless chill spreads along the icicles into the water.
In just one or two breaths, the water on the shore with a radius of dozens of feet froze into ice.
What a powerful little magical power from the Xuan Bing lineage.
Zhao Kui suddenly felt chills running through his body, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously. Although he was promoted from Tianjiao to the Purple Mansion Realm, he had also realized his own small magical powers.
But for some reason, I always feel that it is not on the same level as the other person's magical powers.
Wait, there seems to be a hint of evil in this Xuan Bing aura.
"You are...Wang Longyan!" Zhao Kui's pupils suddenly tightened, and he recognized the features of the person and said in disbelief, "You, you, you, why are you here? And, how could you be? So strong. Your profound energy aura is just a weapon that has just been promoted to the heavenly realm. How can the heavenly meaning of a small magical power be so strong?"
Even for Master Kun, who is extremely powerful in Zhao Kui's mind and whose bloodline has reached the Holy Body stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, the meaning of his magical powers is just like this.
In shock, he raised a series of questions.
"Shou Zhe said that this plan to divert disaster to the east can be concealed from everyone in the world, but I am afraid that it cannot be concealed from those who are actually smuggling and collaborating with the enemy."
"Those who can enjoy the treatment of high-ranking officials, generous salaries, and top aristocratic families and still engage in smuggling and collaborating with the enemy must be selfish and cold-blooded. Once they know that they are about to be exposed, their first reaction is to kill. Silence them and destroy all evidence. I only need to follow the smuggling fleet along the way, and I will naturally gain something."
Wang Longyan's voice was calm and calm, as if he was describing an ordinary thing.
But Zhao Kui was extremely chilled. Wang Shouzhe was so terrifying that he could even guess what Master Kun was thinking.
"It seems that there must be a battle between you and me." Zhao Kui took a deep breath and looked at the fleet that had gone away, but before he had time to catch up, he immediately stared at Wang Longyan, "Although I don't know you Why can you possess such magical powers and meanings in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm? However, the Heavenly Realm is only the Heavenly Realm after all. Even if you are a great genius, it will never be easy for you to gain favor in my hands."
In the Great Tianjiao Heavenly Realm, the bloodline only reaches the spiritual body level. In the Zifu Realm, most of them are promoted by Tianjiao, so the Tianjiao Zifu is also the fifth level of spiritual body.
Under such circumstances, the great genius naturally has no advantage to fight beyond the level.
"Oh?" Wang Longyan said in an indifferent tone, "Why is my magical power so powerful? It's simple, because..."
"I, Wang Longyan, have reached the sixth level of the Holy Body."
"boom!!"
As her words fell, the frozen river surface tens of feet below her feet instantly shattered into countless fragments, carrying a sinister storm and shrouding Zhao Kui like it covered the sky and the sun.
The power of this move has far exceeded the scope of minor magical powers.
"Holy body!? Divine body?" Zhao Kui's head was buzzing.
"Isn't this the legendary Emperor's Son/Holy Son level? How is it possible!"
