Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 409 You Must Trust Me
King Qi was not hostile, so Xu Zhiqiong invited King Qi into the main hall, lit a furnace of good sandalwood, and Xu Zhiqiong asked about the past.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, what crime did the elder of Shengwei Liang Xiaoen accuse you of?"

King Qi laughed and said: "If you talk about crimes, I'm afraid you will laugh at people. He convicted me of twelve major crimes, including treason, corruption and other far-fetched things, even the most outrageous crime of collaborating with the enemy. on my head,
These are all nonsense charges, there is only one charge with real evidence, saying that I violated the rules set by the emperor's brother,

Before the emperor left the mortal world, he did set three rules for the clan. One is that the members of the clan are not allowed to practice other Taoism, they can only practice Canglong Domineering. Entering the Canglong Palace, not to marry, not to be an official, not to be appointed, and to be a Canglong Guard. Third, the Canglong Palace is not allowed to interfere in political affairs.

Liang Zhenjie said that I have cultivated the art of war, and my cultivation has reached the third rank. This is considered to be a violation of the rules set by the emperor. Do you think this is a joke?
When I was twelve years old, I followed the emperor's brother to the war, and I entered the way of war. At that time, there was no grand announcement, and the emperor had not become the emperor. Where did the clan come from?What are the rules?
I fought for the emperor's brother all my life, and was promoted to the third rank of the Dao of War at the age of fifty-six. At that time, the emperor was still in the mortal world. This rule can be counted on my head! "

Xu Zhiqiong understood that this was a typical crime of wanting to commit crimes.

The rules formulated by Emperor Taizu were obviously aimed at future generations, and had nothing to do with founding fathers like Liang Zhenjie, but Liang Xiaoen took advantage of the loopholes in the rules and charged King Qi with this unreasonable charge.

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "According to the dream you entrusted to me, Liang Xiaoen's actions were ordered by Ningzong."

"Ning Zong? My miserable nephew?" Liang Zhenjie said with a smile, "Do you know why he is called Ning Zong?"

Ning is a special temple name, which means that the emperor was cowardly during his reign.

Liang Zhenjie went on to say: "My nephew has been the emperor for three years, and he has not issued a single government order. If there is a slight disobedience in the court, he will be reprimanded by Liang Xiaoen."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Since Liang Xiaoen is the elder of Shengwei, how can he interfere in political affairs?"

Liang Zhenjie said with a smile: "It's not just meddling. The five emperors Ningzong, Lizong, Suzong, Shunzong, and Wenzong never took charge of the government. Liang Xiaoen was responsible for all the affairs of the court. If he is so arrogant, he dares to say that I Breaking the rules, do you think this bird is shameless?"

Xu Zhiqiong said again: "I have seen Liang Xiaoen's portrait, this person looks very thin, but when you entrusted me with the dream, this person was slightly fat."

Liang Zhenjie laughed again: "That's because he has also cultivated the Tao of Chaos and Impermanence, and can change his appearance."

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "As the elder of the Canglong Palace, how dare you practice the evil way of chaos?"

Liang Zhenjie sighed: "But he said that he is shameless, but let's talk about the facts. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the way of chaos was not an evil way. This matter is related to the grievances between the emperor and the ancestors, but I still can't explain every single word." .”

From King Qi's words, one can infer that the record in "Nuzulu" is true.

Emperor Taizu cooperated with Nuzu and with the help of the four evil forces, they defeated the Daqian Dynasty and brought down the Daxuan Dynasty. Therefore, the Dao of Chaos was not an evil way at the beginning of Daxuan.

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said: "I thought that Liang Xiaoen could change his appearance, but I thought it should be the method of Yin Yang or the Mohists, but I didn't expect it to be the way of chaos and impermanence."

Liang Zhenjie waved his hand and said, "Yin Yang and Mohist's disguise technique are both blindfolds, if you meet someone you know, it's easy to show your flaws,

The way of chaos and impermanence is actually to change his appearance. Liang Xiaoen and I have a sworn feud, but if he changes his appearance, even if he stands in front of me, I may not be able to recognize him! "

Xu Zhiqiong asked in amazement: "Then how do you know that chubby Liang Wuming is Liang Xiaoen?"

Liang Zhenjie said with a smile: "Do you think that the hatred of more than seven hundred years is only on the lips, and you think that I am a wronged soul, wandering in this yard day and night, like a resentful woman, waiting for Liang Xiaoen's retribution?

He is a star official, and now he is about to be promoted to the star constellation, it is not so easy to get revenge,

Over the years, I have been watching his movements. Ever since he went down to earth, hooked up with King Jin, and wanted to help King Jin succeed to the throne, I discovered his true identity. After that, I watched all kinds of things in my eyes.

The hatred of more than seven hundred years has never diminished. If you trust me and live in the mansion, if he dares to come to the door to find you, I must be the first to notice! "

While speaking, Liang Zhenjie's gaze stayed on Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong wiped off his sweat, and then asked another key question: "Why did Liang Xiaoen deal with me? And why did he help King Jin succeed to the throne? Is it just to avenge Emperor Zhaoxing?"

Liang Zhenjie shook his head and said: "I haven't found out the reason for this, but I have to say something from the bottom of my heart,
Liang Xianhong is a stupid king. I have wandered in the world for more than [-] years. Seeing Daxuan's country being ruined by him bit by bit, I feel really distressed.

You are the hero of Daxuan, and Yuyang is a good emperor of Daxuan. Whether it is for personal enmity or for the country, I will definitely help you with this matter.
After being a dead soul for so many years, I don't know how much I have left in my cultivation. If I were to fight Liang Xiaoen in a fierce battle, I really have no chance of winning.
But Liang Xiaoen is about to be promoted to Xingxiu, he must restrain himself in the mortal world, in the battle with Li Shabai in the Canglong Palace, he dared not go all out, just to avoid the gaze of the true god,

As long as he has scruples, I have a way to deal with him. I dare not say anything else. As long as I am in this mansion, I will definitely protect you. Every word and every word comes from the heart. You must believe me! "

Liang Zhenjie's gaze never left Xu Zhiqiong.

You will be able to protect me well.

This promise is very important, but Xu Zhiqiong sounds a little strange.

Are you trying to keep me?

"His Royal Highness King Qi, it's getting late, let's talk tonight first."

Liang Zhenjie smiled, took a breath of sandalwood, and then disappeared.

Xu Zhiqiong wiped off his sweat, returned to the main room, and carefully followed his train of thought.

If Liang Zhenjie's words are true, Xu Zhiqiong has found an important ally.

The key is how to verify the authenticity?
After all, Xu Zhiqiong knew very little about this King Qi.

Let's verify it from a sentence he said, and you can see it from the inside.

Xu Zhiqiong came to the courtyard and re-lit the charcoal fire under the asking ghost cauldron. A pot of hot oil soon boiled away.

While the oil blossoms were tumbling, Xu Zhiqiong picked up the cauldron of asking ghosts, and with the appearance of leaping into the clouds, he got into the small black room.

It took a lot of effort. Firstly, the hot oil was very heavy, and secondly, the oil pan was a bit hot.

A more reasonable way is to bring the asking ghost cauldron to the small dark room, and then heat the oil, but there is no fire in the small black room, not even a single lamp.

In the dark, Xu Zhiqiong groped for a two-inch-long sin karma.

This criminal karma has always been very calm, just like when Emperor Zhaoxing was sitting on the throne, he always assumed a calm and calm attitude to control the overall situation.

Xu Zhiqiong threw the sin karma into the oil pot, and then covered the pot.

The sin karma became restless in an instant, and he jumped up and down in the asking ghost cauldron, almost smashing the lid of the pot.

At least in this matter, Liang Zhenjie was telling the truth, asking ghost cauldrons can penetrate sin karma and make ghosts suffer.

Sir, are you in pain?
Our conditions are not good, and we are not as fancy as Yinsi.

But you can't neglect you about the frying pan, I'll take you to soak for half an hour every day.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and tightly pressed the lid of the pot.

……

At noon the next day, Xia Hu arrived at Xu Zhiqiong's Zhonglang Courtyard with two bundles of folding fans on his back.

It was April, the weather was not too hot, and folding fans could not be sold at a very good price.

But if we wait until June, when the weather gets hotter and the folding fan market becomes better, the purchase price will become more expensive.

Xia Hu is a person who knows how to do business. Taking advantage of the low purchase price, she first bought a batch of folding fans. Xu Zhiqiong's Zhonglang Courtyard is much larger than her Zhonglang Pavilion, and she first found a room to store it.

After entering the main courtyard, Xia Hu saw Xu Zhiqiong sweeping the courtyard, and couldn't help but wondered, "You also need to do this? Are you a servant?"

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "The Marquis's Mansion also needs to be cleaned, they are too busy, I will deal with the affairs of the yard myself."

Xia Hu smiled: "No wonder your servants are so loyal, you really understand them."

While talking, Xia Hu went to the west wing with the folding fan on her back, bent over and placed it carefully on the ground.

It is very dangerous to bend down in front of Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong came over from behind, Xia Hu knew his habits, and while she was bending over, the thief would definitely grab a fat peach.

Normally he would just let him grab it, but not today, the wounds on the two peach petals haven't healed yet.

Xia Hu got up suddenly and hid aside. Just about to reprimand her, she saw Xu Zhiqiong bent down to help her arrange the folding fan.

"What a fan!" Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "My lady has a good eye!"

He didn't touch it.

Didn't come to ask for cheap.

Xia Hu smiled and said, "You also know folding fans?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I don't really understand, but this folding fan seems to be top grade."

Xia Hu said with a proud face: "It goes without saying, how many years have I been in business!"

Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "The lady has really suffered all these years."

Xia Hu snorted and said, "Don't just pick up the nice words, did you forget about the gritting of teeth?"

Gritting teeth is a common saying in Daxuan, which means a promise made.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Young lady still can't trust me? I will naturally do what I promised my lady."

Xia Hu smiled mischievously: "You have a conscience!"

After tidying up the folding fan, Xu Zhiqiong said, "Lady, come with me to Zhangdeng Yamen, I have something to discuss with you."

Xia Hu nodded: "Wait for me to change clothes."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Are you still afraid of me seeing it?"

"How dare I show you, you're not ashamed!" Xia Hu smiled playfully, went to the main room, and closed the door.

Xu Zhiqiong waited quietly outside the door.

After waiting for a cup of tea, there was no movement.

Xu Zhiqiong pushed open the door, walked into the main room, and shouted, "Miss, have you changed your clothes yet? Ma'am, ma'am?"

In the main room, there was no one there.
