Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 675

Xu Zhiqiong ordered people to arrest Ge Junxin, and found the letter from King Lu in his room.

Ge Junxin repented, and he should have burned the letter, but he was worried that Lu Wang would not admit it afterwards, and kept the letter as evidence.

Xu Zhiqiong took the book and said, "Deputy Shushu Ge, what else do you have to say?"

Ge Junxin shook his head again and again and said: "My lord, this is a letter from the king of Lu. I don't know what the king of Lu intended. My subordinates didn't respond to the king. I was just about to find a time to report to the lord of the chief. The adults have no second thoughts!"

Xu Zhiqiong sneered: "Recording Wang Hong Zhenkang colluded with Xuan people, colluded with evil spirits, and intended to usurp Qiancheng Jiangshan. I have found out the evidence, and now he wants to kill me, but you are his accomplice!"

Ge Junxin's face was ashen.

Previously, Lu Wang had told Ge Junxin that Shan Zhongming had the heart of disobedience, and asked Ge Junxin to monitor Shan Zhongming's daily actions, and once the incident happened, he could take over the position of chief minister.

Now why did Shan Zhongming bite back and say that Lu Wang usurped?
Who is telling the truth?

What's the secret behind this?
No matter what the secret is, let's get rid of it first.

"Your Excellency!" Ge Junxin kowtowed like garlic, "This matter really has nothing to do with the subordinates, and the subordinates really don't know the king's intentions."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "I don't know if I know it or not, the gods will know for themselves, left and right, put Ge Junxin in prison first!"

"Shan Zhongming, I am a member of the first rank! How can you treat me like this! You framed Zhongliang, the gods will never allow you..."

The police couldn't argue, and locked Ge Junxin on the third floor of the dungeon.

On the third floor of the dungeon, all the succubi and felons were locked up. Xu Zhiqiong took care of Ge Junxin and arranged a separate cell for him in the corner.

This cell is very hidden. At the end of the long corridor, you can see the door of the cell after turning two more turns.

After entering the cell, Ge Junxin was furious at first, and then yelled and cursed for a long time. When he saw a pot of white water on the table, he drank a couple of gulps, and his thoughts calmed down a little.

After dozens of years of ups and downs in his official career, after all, it is still accumulated for many years. When it comes to life and death, Ge Junxin is still calm.

First of all, one thing must be clarified, who is the conspiracy?

Lu Wang and Ge Junxin did have some personal relationships, but although Ge Junxin was a first-rank official, when it came to status, there was still a huge gap between Lu Wang and Lu Wang.

The Divine Lord did not have a heir. Among the princes, the King Lu had the highest status, with one man below ten thousand. Ge Junxin couldn't say for sure what King Lu was thinking. If King Lu really had the intention of treason, it seemed reasonable.

In comparison, Ge Junxin is more familiar with Shan Zhongming.

Shan Zhongming is greedy for money and sex, despicable and ruthless, he has no real talent and learning, but has a lot of dirty tricks, Ge Junxin is very shameless for him, but if it is said that he covets the position of god, Ge Junxin does not believe it, Shan Zhongming has no such skills , nor the guts.

The king of Lu said that he had the heart of disobedience, and Ge Junxin pushed the boat along the way, and waited for the trouble to come, and then took over the post of chief.

Now that things have come to this point, it's time to think about it.

Why did King Lu say that Shan Zhongming had the heart of disobedience?

Is it really to kill Shan Zhongming?
Shenjun is seriously ill. If King Ruolu wants to usurp the throne, it is a great opportunity. At this moment, everyone who is in the way should be eradicated.

The more Ge Junxin thought about it, the more transparent he became, and he basically confirmed Lu Wang's intention to usurp the throne.

What should I do next?
If King Lu succeeds in usurping the throne, I can be regarded as a meritorious official, and I will take over the position of chief minister in a legitimate way. Naturally, everyone will be happy.

But if King Lu fails to usurp the throne, this matter will be difficult.

Shan Zhongming handed over the letter to the god, but can I still save my life?

Not to mention my life, I'm afraid everyone in the three clans will be killed!
There is no other way. When Shenjun asks about this matter, I can only tell the truth. It is a crime to conceal and not report. At most, I will be demoted to a commoner. The crime of conspiracy, but there is no evidence!
But does the god king need evidence to punish a crime?

……

In Shenyan Pavilion, Shen Weiyi, who was exhausted, suddenly cheered up. He saw King Lu gathered a group of people in the courtyard through Shenji's eyes.

Shen Weiyi flew all the way to the first building of the hub, and told Xu Zhiqiong the news. Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and asked, "Weiyi, are you really willing to follow me?"

Shen Weiyi kowtowed and said: "This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water with Your Excellency!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Go back to the small house and rest, and wait for me to summon you."

Shen Weiyi retreated, Xu Zhiqiong said to Luo Hui and Li Jie: "I'm going to the prison, and I'm going to execute all the charmers tonight. You wait here and wait. If others come to me, you just wait and perfunctory. Don't reveal my whereabouts."

The two said yes, and seeing "Shan Zhongming" go away, Luo Hui said in surprise, "I heard that right, my lord is going to execute the Charm Monster?"

Li Jie shook his head and said: "I'm also puzzled, but don't you want to have fun in the future?"

Luo Hui thought for a moment and said, "A few days ago, I heard that Jiang Shengqun met a real charmer. Do you think those charmers in our prison are really ordinary women?"

Li Jie blinked and said, "Could it be true inside?"

Luo Hui thought for a moment, then said, "Which do you think looks real?"

Li Jie shook his head and said, "How can I tell the difference? I'm afraid that even the chief minister can't tell the difference."

Luo Hui whispered: "Since we can't tell the difference, according to our adults' temperament..."

Li Jie nodded: "It is better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to put one by mistake. No wonder they say they will all be executed!"

……

In the dungeon, Ge Junxin was still thinking about countermeasures when he suddenly heard crying outside the cell.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we're on our way!" shouted a sergeant.

What is this for, killing criminals overnight?
Ge Junxin is fighting with each other.

Another person shouted: "Your Majesty has an order that all Charms will be executed tonight and brought to the hall for execution!"

There was a sound of shackles outside the door, and the cries became more and more tragic. Ge Junxin was so frightened that he was out of his wits.

Is Shan Zhongming crazy?

Aren't these succubi all for his amusement?
Why are you going to kill me today!
Shouldn't you kill me too?

He sat on the ground, two lines of old tears slipped down his cheeks.

Suddenly there was a sound of fighting coming from outside the door. Originally there were only women's cries, but now there were many soldiers' screams.

"Prison robbing, someone robbing prison! Someone..." The sergeant's shouts stopped abruptly, and a woman's voice echoed in the dungeon.

"Sisters, come with me, I am your patriarch, I am here to save you!"

This is the Grandmaster of Charm Demon!

Why did the Charm Demon Patriarch come here?

Save her way?
Could it be that there is a real charmer in the prison of Shenjisi?

Shan Zhongming wanted to kill Mei Yao, and the ancestor of Mei Yao came to rob the prison!

Ge Junxin scrambled and huddled in the corner of the cell, not daring to take a breath.

Tears were streaming down, Ge Junxin didn't dare to make a sound.

This cell is secluded, and the Charming Demon may not be able to find it.

She sure can't find this.

……

Lu Wangfu, 1000 people are ready to go.

Among the 1000 people, there are more than [-] people who have cultivation alone. Excluding Lu Wang, the highest cultivation is the fourth rank. There are five people in total, two Confucianists, one Shadao, and one Yin Yang. , a military strategist.

Just relying on this set of troops, if you really do something deadly, you can razed the Shenji Division to the ground.

But Lu Wang did not intend to completely wipe out the Shenji Division. When he set off, he called Wen Bingguo, a fourth-rank military master who was in charge of leading the army, and told him: "This expedition is only to arrest the traitor Shan Zhongming and his gang. Party feathers, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, if the leader of the thief wants to be captured without a fight, a sword fight will be avoided."

After saying that, King Lu took out a roster and handed it to Wen Bingguo.

The roster lists several key figures who must be eradicated this time. In addition to Shan Zhongming, there are also Jiang Shengqun, Bao Huailuo, Zhang Shifeng, Ji Fengshan, etc., and even Shan Zhongming's personal bodyguards Li Jie and Luo Hui are among them.

What surprised Wen Bingguo the most was that Shen Shuliang and Shen Weiyi, father and son of the god-eye craftsman, were also among them.

"Your Highness, should the Shen family father and son be captured alive or killed?"

"Kill him!" Lu Wang gave a clear answer: "Shen Shuliang has two minds, this person must not stay, and neither can his son Shen Weiyi. First, this person has been co-opted by Shan Zhongming. Second, he killed his father and left no son. But we must cut the weeds and eradicate the roots.”

"The craftsmen of Shenyan come from the same line. If the father and son of the Shen family are killed, there will be no more craftsmen in Shenyan Pavilion."

Lu Wang shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry too much about this matter. Let's abandon this lineage and change to another lineage."

Wen Bingguo took the order and led the army to the expedition.

Lu Wang took a sedan chair and followed at the end of the team.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, King Lu would not take action himself, but if Hong Huaxiao or Xu Zhiqiong came to rescue Shan Zhongming, he would take this opportunity to eradicate him together.

1000 troops quickly surrounded the Shenji Division. The soldiers guarding the gate peed their pants in fright and wanted to run away. Wen Bingguo sent someone to arrest them, and said in a deep voice: "Go and ask Shan Zhongming to come out and answer, as long as he can explain the matter clearly." , we retreat immediately, if Shan Zhongming persists in his obsession, by the time I enter the gate, we will kill until no one is left behind."

The sergeant trembled and said: "General Wen, why did you bring troops to the Shenji Division? Is this the will of the gods or the princes, and I can explain it clearly to the chief minister."

Wen Bingguo smiled and said, "Since you don't understand, let me explain it to someone else."

After speaking, Wen Bingguo drew his sword and scratched the sergeant's head.

As usual, the sergeant's head should fall to the ground, but Wen Bingguo recorded the king's instructions not to kill people unless it was absolutely necessary, and he only cut off one of the sergeant's ears.

"Who else among you can't understand?"

The sergeants kowtowed again and again: "We're going to spread the word!"

Wen Bingguo let them go, Lu Wang secretly nodded, this matter was done very well.

The sergeant came to the first building and said to Luo Hui and Li Jie, "Where is the chief?"

Luo Hui frowned and said, "Presumptuous, is this what you should ask?"

Before he left, the chief lord had ordered him to go to the dungeon to execute the Charm, and no one else should know about it.

Li Jie asked the group of sergeants: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The sergeant said, "Two captains, something serious happened!"

When he told about the situation outside, both Luo Hui and Li Jie were frightened.

Why did King Lu send troops to surround Shenji Division?
Luo Hui opened his mouth and couldn't speak, Li Jie said, "Hurry up and find the chief minister!"

The two were about to go to the prison, but they saw Xu Zhiqiong walking towards them.

Before Luo Hui and Li Jie could open their mouths, the sergeant stepped forward and kowtowed: "Wen Bingguo, General Lu Wangmu, led more than 1000 people, and surrounded our Shen Jisi!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I already know about this."

The sergeant said again: "Wen Bingguo said, let you go out and answer a message. If you don't go, we will kill our Shen Jisi until there is no one left."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled when he heard the words: "Are you scared?"

The sergeants did not dare to make a sound, and more than 1000 people were waiting outside the door with real swords and guns. Who dared to say that they were not afraid?
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "If you are afraid, you can go back and say that Shan will be here after a little tidying up."

The sergeants scrambled to go out to answer, Luo Hui also wanted to go out, Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Why, are you scared too?"

Luo Hui shook his head and said, "Isn't this subordinate afraid? I want to go outside the door to see the situation."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "Alright, just go and have a look."

Luo Hui ran away, but Li Jie stood still.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Li Jie: "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid!" Li Jie replied truthfully, "But I want to survive, so I can only obey my lord's orders."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "You really are a smart man, you are still waiting on the first floor."

After speaking, Xu Zhiqiong walked to the basin and washed the blood off his hands.
