Chapter 680: Evil and Demonic

"Didn't he ask Zhao Feng to prepare something again?"

Li Xuan thought a little speechlessly.

Although framing is effective, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot always use the same routine, right?

Li Xuan's suspicious eyes were caught by Emperor Yongyuan. He immediately understood what the kitten was thinking and explained with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's not that simple this time."

"If it were other places, I wouldn't have to bother so much, but Luodong City is different."

"If you can't come up with any real evidence, it's hard to touch the people here."

Emperor Yongyuan was confident and seemed to have some idea.

He waved to Li Xuan, and Li Xuan immediately jumped from Princess Ankang's arms to the table and leaned over.

Emperor Yongyuan whispered in Li Xuan's ear for a while, and Li Xuan couldn't help but have a smirk on his face.

"As expected of an emperor who has been an emperor for so many years, he has a very bad conscience!"

Li Xuan thought to himself and gave Emperor Yongyuan a small look to let him understand.

"Ahem." Emperor Yongyuan coughed awkwardly, and did not forget to tell Li Xuan again: "Master Mo, I have to ask you to take action this time."

…

At the unfinished banquet.

After Emperor Yongyuan left, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Although it was late at night, everyone was in high spirits, but the girls on the stage had to change their tricks to continue the performance.

"My lord, have you had a safe journey?"

Wang Wenbin, the chief of Luodong City, expressed concern.

He is the prefect of this place and the person with the highest official position in Luodong City.

It's just that Luodong City is a bit special. In addition to the government offices, there are also several government-affiliated yamen that manage silk, salt and iron, which are not under the control of the government offices.

It's just that everyone is in Luodong City, and they don't look up to meet each other. Everyone has long been familiar with wearing a pair of trousers, maintaining a tacit understanding in their hearts.

"Although there are some twists and turns, it's nothing serious."

King Zheng answered calmly.

Emperor Yongyuan killed many corrupt officials along the way, and the news of supporting newcomers to the throne must have spread to Luodong City.

In so many years, this was the first time that King Zheng suffered such a loss, so the people below had some reactions and needed to be comforted in time.

Emperor Yongyuan had been dormant in the capital for so many years, and a southern tour had a bloody beginning, which really shocked them, the old officials.

In this matter, they were all waiting for King Zheng's reaction.

But in the past few days, apart from hearing that another corrupt official had been beheaded by Emperor Yongyuan, there had been no news from King Zheng's side.

This made the officials attached to King Zheng feel a little uneasy.

Because this was something that was unimaginable before, but now it is happening in front of them.

King Zheng has ruled the officialdom for so many years, and he still has this acumen.

"Everyone, your Majesty punished the officials who made mistakes in accordance with Daxing law."

"It makes sense both emotionally and rationally. Although the method is a bit harsh, it is also to eliminate unhealthy tendencies in the officialdom."

"Both His Majesty and the King will take note of those officials who made no mistakes but contributed to Daxing."

"So you don't have to be so nervous."

"And we are halfway through our southern tour. Once we reach the waterway, the rest of the journey will only go smoother."

King Zheng said, silently raising his glass and inviting everyone to drink together.

"For the sake of a better tomorrow, please drink this cup to the full!"

After that, King Zheng took the lead and drank it all in one gulp, and others followed suit.

It was not until the end of the banquet that Wang Wenbin, the prefect of Luodong City, secretly stuffed a secret letter into Prince Zheng's sleeve when leaving, and then he was helped away by his servants as he staggered.

The expression on King Zheng's face remained unchanged and he silently accepted the letter.

When he returned to his resting room, the attendant immediately came forward to report:

"Your Majesty, the surveillance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been relaxed."

King Zheng nodded, not too surprised.

"They know that watching is useless, so they guard the outside and don't allow anyone to disturb them."

After King Zheng finished his instructions, he returned to the room and opened the letter nervously.

Although it has only been a few days since it was disconnected from the outside world, enough has happened in these few days.

Especially the failure of the operation in Jiaozhou City left King Zheng puzzled.

He knew very well what Jiang Pu was like. He was by no means a person who was willing to take risks, not to mention being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

There are not many people in this officialdom who were personally promoted by Emperor Yongyuan, and it cannot be said that they have any kind of kindness.

To say that the kindness of knowing and encountering him is all due to him, Prince Zheng.

But it was because of this that King Zheng was caught off guard by Jiangpu's rebellion.

King Zheng opened the secret letter, which recorded all the information that had not been reported to King Zheng during this period.

I saw it said that Jiang Pu not only betrayed them, but also set up an ambush under his government office, causing the three Hanhe ghosts who went on a mission to disappear.

Lu Ji and Chun Jun were also unable to move and were each injured.

Lu Ji was even severely injured by Wang Xi and almost didn't come back.

But they also confirmed Wang Xi's strength in the pseudo-Tiandao realm after that battle.

This piece of bad news made King Zheng's face become more serious.

He knew that Ouchi's inheritance was profound, but he still underestimated this inheritance.

The Pseudo Heaven Realm is the limit for ordinary warriors, and it is very difficult to achieve one.

But with the foundation of inheritance, this kind of thing becomes controllable. You only need to pay a certain price to ensure that there will be warriors in the pseudo-Tiandao realm from generation to generation.

King Zheng's preparations over the years were more to deal with the inheritance of the Daxing royal family.

But he didn't expect that this background was much deeper than what he had heard. He didn't know whether Emperor Yongyuan had some bad luck or there were some secrets in the palace that he didn't know.

Speaking of luck, Emperor Yongyuan was really amazing.

The efforts he made when he was young were also seen by King Zheng.

Marrying with Beiliang and Wu family to seek external support.

As a result, he really gave birth to a monster like Princess Yan Zhao.

Now Princess Ankang is also showing signs of emerging.

In this regard, King Zheng really envied Emperor Yongyuan.

After reading the secret letter, King Zheng lit it with the light.

Although they were all unexpected bad news, King Zheng didn't care too much.

In his opinion, Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour was destined to last only a few days.

The further south he went, the fewer means Emperor Yongyuan could use.

King Zheng had been operating in the south for many years and had already possessed unparalleled control.

In the eyes of Prince Zheng, Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour was nothing short of a trap.

Prince Zheng could tolerate what happened in the past few days, because he knew that as long as the southern tour continued, he would win sooner or later.

He was very confident about this.

There were more and more places like Luodong City that were impervious to water as far south as possible.

After all, Prince Zheng developed these places as his own territory.

…

In the early morning of that day.

When everyone was sleeping soundly, a big explosion occurred in the government office of Luodong City, and the entire government office was razed to the ground.

Fortunately, there was no one in the court at that time, and no casualties were caused.

But such a big noise also woke up many people around the government office.

Then there was a sound of shouting and killing from the government office, which lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

At this moment, a low voice came from the horizon, followed by a few flashes of black lightning.

"You scoundrels, dare to openly attack the government and commit crimes."

"How can I, Mo Tiansheng, tolerate you? Watch this!"

The shouting and killing stopped immediately, and several figures fell heavily from the air.

"Qian Teng Mo Ji, where are you going!"

The voices in the sky gradually faded away, and the commotion in the government office slowly subsided, leaving only a mess.

Wang Wenbin, the prefect of Luodong City, was still in shock, looking at the corpses left on the ground, his face was uncertain.

"Sir, the ones on the ground have died."

An official came to report.

"Can you tell where the two sides came from?" Wang Wenbin asked with strong anger.

They, the officials, are most afraid of these gangsters.

If you mess with them, you will be in trouble.

These gangsters don't care what kind of official you are, they just care about the pleasure of a common man's anger and blood splashing ten steps away. The life of wandering in the rivers and lakes is almost the same as being wanted, and they don't care at all.

They are not some famous sects, they can go wherever they want, the government can't do anything about them, unless the Ministry of Internal Affairs is dispatched.

Even if they are of the upper third rank, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't control them.

After all, they can hide in a mountain for more than ten or twenty years.

"Sir, please forgive my poor eyesight."

The official under him said helplessly.

It was dark, not to mention that they didn't see clearly, even if they saw clearly, they didn't dare to say anything.

Otherwise, if they hold a grudge, they will get into trouble.

Wang Wenbin exhaled heavily a few times, and he was a little unsure of the other party's intention.

The most damaged part of the government office was the court, which looked like a slap in his face.

His masters responded immediately, and the fight was evenly matched. Finally, an outsider came and drove the other party away in one fell swoop, leaving a few corpses.

As for the name of the Thousand Vine Demon Princess, Wang Wenbin was also unfamiliar with it, but his men also shook their heads, so he didn't ask too much.

Whether these warriors under his command were really confused or pretending to be confused, it proved that they were not easy to mess with.

"Sir, this matter..."

The official looked at Wang Wenbin and asked for instructions.

"I will personally report to His Majesty tomorrow, you just need to clean up this place first."

"By the way, ask about the Thousand Vine Demon Princess and Mo Tiansheng, I will also report the information of these two people."

Wang Wenbin made it clear directly, just needing them to inquire about the news, and then he would report directly, and they didn't need to worry about other things.

The official was relieved after hearing this, and then he hurriedly accepted the order.

After being awakened, Wang Wenbin was not sleepy anymore, and hurriedly summoned the main officials of Luodong City to discuss matters.

But it was still dark at this time, and it might take some time to gather people together.

Wang Wenbin was just planning to wait patiently, but he was summoned by Emperor Yongyuan at daybreak.

He did not dare to neglect it, and immediately got on the sedan chair and went to the palace. As a result, he happened to meet other officials who had rushed to the government office at the door.

"Everyone, the emperor summoned us, let's go quickly."

The others did not understand why, so they quickly changed direction and followed Wang Wenbin.

When they arrived, Emperor Yongyuan had been waiting for a long time.

Also getting up early were Prince Zheng and many accompanying officials.

They yawned and were sleepy.

The banquet last night lasted until late at night. Many people had only been lying down for a few hours before they were all pulled up again. Naturally, they were not in good spirits.

But Emperor Yongyuan was different. He was energetic early in the morning, obviously having had a good sleep.

When Wang Wenbin and other officials from Luodong City arrived, Emperor Yongyuan immediately asked:

"I heard that someone attacked the government office not long ago. What happened?"

Wang Wenbin glanced in the direction of King Zheng and saw that he had no instructions, so he immediately explained everything that had happened before.

After hearing that someone attacked the government office and caused considerable damage, everyone was alert.

Bang!

Emperor Yongyuan slammed the table and said angrily:

"This happened as soon as I arrived. It seems that someone has ulterior motives and wants to teach me a lesson!"

"Prefect Wang, you mentioned Qian Teng Mo Ji just now, right?"

In response to Emperor Yongyuan's question, Wang Wenbin quickly added: "There is also a person who calls himself Mo Tiansheng."

"According to Prefect Wang's description, this person seems to have acted out of righteousness and helped you kill several criminals."

Emperor Yongyuan showed a thoughtful look and continued:

"But Prefect Wang also makes sense. Zhao Feng, do you know the origins of the two?"

Emperor Yongyuan pretended to ask Zhao Feng on the side.

Zhao Feng immediately stepped forward and replied:

"Your Majesty."

"Qian Teng Mo Ji is a giant of the magic path, with many blood debts on her hands and even more powerful."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has received intelligence about the attack in Jinghou County before, and it was this person who did it."

"And I heard that not long after the southern tour team left Jiaozhou City, the government office in Jiaozhou City was also attacked by masters, and was repelled by Governor Jiang and local righteous masters."

"Coupled with the attack in Luodong City, it seems that the magic path is carrying out a series of crazy and targeted attacks on the government."

After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Emperor Yongyuan was furious:

"Asshole!"

"Zhao Feng, how could you, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, allow such a thing to happen."

Zhao Feng hurriedly knelt down to apologize and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me..."

"These evil demons have been undisciplined since ancient times and have been doing evil by relying on their cultivation."

"Even if I want to manage them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs really can't spare the manpower."

Zhao Feng cried miserably.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Is it better than the masters of the Imperial Palace?"

Emperor Yongyuan looked unconvinced.

Prince Zheng and a group of officials had already noticed something was wrong.

Prince Zheng was about to say something, but Zhao Feng spoke first:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the masters of the Imperial Palace can naturally subdue these evil demons, but won't the guards around your Majesty be weakened accordingly?"

"I am afraid that these evil demons have ulterior motives and are coming for your Majesty, so I dare not act rashly. I hope your Majesty will understand."

Zhao Feng said aggrievedly.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

"I am the great Daxing, can I still be afraid of these evil demons?!"

Emperor Yongyuan was furious.

At this time, the two dukes who had been keeping a low profile came forward and made suggestions.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes."

"To deal with these people, the government does not need to take direct action."

"The other person mentioned by Prefect Wang before, I recognize him. He is a hero with a good reputation in the capital."

"It seems that Mo Tiansheng is chasing this gang of criminals. Why not send out a hero invitation and ask the righteous martial arts to purge these scums."

"Our government can open the door to convenience and offer some rewards. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Su Dingan suggested, and Hou Zhongguo nodded in agreement.

This singing and singing made others feel uncomfortable.

King Zheng couldn't help but wink at Wang Wenbin.

After all, it was his government office that was attacked, and he, as the person involved, still had some say.

But as soon as Wang Wenbin opened his mouth, his face suddenly changed, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell unconscious to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Come on, come on!"
