It turns out that I am a saint of the avenue

Chapter 19 The Punishment of Cannon Branding
Chaoge tea house.

This day Lu Changsheng was writing a novel again, which was the story of Xiao Cui in Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio.

Daji wept for Xiaocui's story while reading, "Master, this Xiaocui is too pitiful! That snake demon is really too bad."

Lu Changsheng sighed and said, "Yes! But that fox demon is dedicated to goodness, so he finally attained enlightenment and became a fairy! It's a good ending for him."

After hearing this, Daji was not only sentimental about Xiaocui's story, but also thought of herself.

As a monster of Xuanyuan Tomb, he is carefree.

However, the peaceful life was broken by the arrival of a decree from Empress Nuwa.

If she hadn't met Senior Lu in Chaoge City and given another hope of becoming an immortal, she wouldn't have had the courage to break away from Empress Nuwa's control.

And what the old man said just now was to remind himself that only by doing good with one's heart can one attain the Tao.

If it is true to confuse King Zhou according to what the sage Nuwa said, then the people of the Shang Dynasty will not be able to live, and who will bear the cause and effect?

The more Daji thought about it, she felt that she had fallen into a huge trap before.

Fortunately, I met the master.

Sure enough, the master suddenly wrote the story of the fox demon today just to remind himself.

Thinking of this, Daji became more and more grateful to Lu Changsheng.

She works very diligently on weekdays, but today she is particularly diligent. It can be said that wherever Lu Changsheng is, she will be there.

Lu Changsheng was confused by Daji's performance, what happened to Jiu'er today, could it be that he was moved by the story I wrote.

Chaoge Palace.

Although Qiao'er feigned illness that time and grounded Queen Jiang, it was still far from the order of the sage Nuwa.

So she rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea.

She pretended to be unwell, and asked the maid to go to King Zhou.

Before King Zhou even stepped into the gate of the palace, a voice came, "My concubine, why is she sick again, let Gu take a look."

"Your Majesty."

Qiao'er's face was haggard, and King Zhou felt distressed.

It can be said that Qiaoer found all the stars in the sky.

Qiao'er and King Zhou are both friends, but there is always a trace of sadness between their brows.

"My lord, when I come to Chaoge City, I feel very happy to be accompanied by the king, but whenever the king goes to court, my concubine feels very bored."

"But the king is the king of the Shang Dynasty, and the concubines dare not let the king accompany him all the time."

Qiao'er's words made King Zhou's face suddenly worried and said: "Why does my concubine say this? So, does my concubine think there is anything that can relieve my concubine's boredom? I can find it for my concubine."

Qiaoer's ear-splitting voice uttered the most vicious words.

"I heard that there is a kind of punishment of cannon fire. Oil is anointed on the copper pillar, and charcoal is added to make it hot, so that the guilty person walks on it, and then falls into the charcoal and burns alive."

"Chenqie heard that many people are dissatisfied with the king recently, saying that favoring the ministers and concubines has caused the court to be weak."

"It's better for the king to arrest those people and torture them with cannons."

Looking at Qiao'er's face, King Zhou laughed "haha" and said, "Okay! It happens that I will be bored to death by them these few days. The torture proposed by Aifei seems very interesting."

"Come here, set up this copper pillar in Jiujian Temple, and search in Chaoge City, and arrest all those people who have always spoken ill of Gu in recent days."

"Gu Nai Ren Wang, I have endured them for a long time."

"promise."

After King Zhou ordered to go down, laughter came from Shouxian Palace again.

Chaoge City.

The fully armed soldiers were arresting people everywhere, and there was the sound of people crying and shouting everywhere, so Jiu'er naturally knew that he had to come back and talk to Lu Changsheng about it.

Lu Changsheng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Don't worry, as long as we don't do bad things, these officers and soldiers won't come to arrest us."

Jiu'er nodded, concealing the fact that he had just charmed an officer and soldier who wanted to break into the tea shop to make him leave.

Since the master wants to understand the world of mortals, it is better not to let these little soldiers bother him.

Soon, the copper pillar was erected, and Bigan and the others were worried when they went to court the next day.

I heard that King Zhou built a copper pillar, but I don't know what it was for.

Soon the officials stood still, and King Zhou and Qiao'er came out together.

After Bigan watched King Zhou sit down, Qiaoer sat next to King Zhou, and went out and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Qiaoer is not the master of the middle palace. An act of the ancestors."

"Uncle Wang, I'm asking you to come here today, not to go to court, but to let you enjoy a prosperous world together, and it's not going to violate the ancestors."

King Zhou's words caused an uproar among the officials.

But King Zhou came over with just one look. He is King Zhou after all, and he has stayed in this position for a long time, so he is naturally very powerful.

At that moment, the ministers became quiet.

King Zhou clapped his hands.

Ten people who looked like scholars were escorted up by soldiers.

Bigan was puzzled, what was this for.

King Zhou immediately said, "These ten people are the ones who slander and confuse the crowd. I'll arrest them alone. Let them and the whole world know what will happen if you slander the king."

Seeing that they were about to die, the ten scholars all showed fear in their eyes.

At this time, a righteous official came out, it was Mebo.

"Your Majesty. These scholars are not wrong. Your Majesty has been in the Shouxian Palace these days and has neglected the management of the government. Your Majesty should take the words of the people of the world as a warning."

The rest of the courtiers didn't dare to breathe, this Mei Bo is really brave!
During this period of time, the king was bewildered by this Qiaoer empress, they didn't dare to say anything, but Mei Bo dared to face it.

A true warrior!

At this time Fei Zhong jumped out and scolded on the spot: "Mei Bo, you are so brave, you dare to insult the king in public."

Mei Bo said righteously: "I am not insulting the king, but what the king has done recently is really not in line with the actions of the king of the Shang Dynasty."

After Mabel finished speaking, the hall was silent.

Suddenly King Zhou's laughter sounded.

Soon, King Zhou's laughter stopped, and he looked at Mei Bo with vicious eyes and said, "Mei Bo, do you think Gu really dare not kill you?"

Under the charm of Qiaoer these days, King Zhou has long felt that these courtiers are very annoying, otherwise he would not have listened to Qiaoer's words and built copper pillars.

He originally wanted to kill a few scholars to frighten the officials, but now he changed his mind. This Meber looks very annoying, so he should be used as the knife.

Mei Bo said at this time: "If the death of the old minister can make the king wake up, the old minister's life is worth it."

"The solitary will fulfill you!"

King Zhou made a gesture, and the soldiers immediately went forward and captured Meibo.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Bigan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Mei is loyal, and I hope you will think twice! If Uncle Mei died today, the whole Shang Dynasty will definitely talk again."
