Daxia Wensheng

In the government hall.

As King Qi Lin's voice sounded, Su Huaiyu instantly sensed something was wrong.

Just when Wang Ping revealed the truth, King Qi Lin took the initiative to speak up and angrily reprimanded him for being bold.

A terrifying force suppressed it, this is the sense of oppression from King Wu.

He was threatening Wang Ping.

And also condensed the power of the Martial King.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Jinnian's voice sounded at this moment.

He also sensed something was wrong, King Qi Lin dared to do this at a critical moment, he really didn't have any scruples at all.

Obviously he is in the trial.

In the end, Zhou He and his group took turns to speak and threaten the prisoner, Gu Jinnian endured it.

As soon as this King Qi Lin appeared on the stage, he began to act arrogantly.

He is a king with a different surname in Daxia, with a high status and great power, and this is the western region. With the help of the dragon talisman, he barely suppressed King Qi Lin.

It's even inappropriate to use the word "repression" to describe it.

It's because of the fear of identity, so King Qi Lin chooses to remain silent, otherwise, just relying on a dragon talisman to make King Qi Lin surrender?is it possible?
Unless it can be ensured that this dragon talisman is real.

To be honest, Su Huaiyu's identity is still not good, if Liu Yan or Wei Xian is the one who took out the dragon talisman, then no one will question it.

But no matter what, the dragon talisman was taken out.

Unexpectedly, King Qi Lin dared to act so arrogantly.

To put it more pleasantly, King Qi Lin is called rebellious, Lord Da Xia.

To put it bluntly, King Qi Lin just looks down on you, Gu Jinnian.

After all, Gu Jinnian was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he hadn't even reached the crown. King Qi Lin didn't take Gu Jinnian seriously at all.

puff.

At this time, Wang Ping spat out blood, and the blood in his body was rolling, and he fainted on the spot.

How can an ordinary person be able to resist the aura of a martial arts king?
This was the first time Gu Jinnian spoke, otherwise, Wang Ping might have been killed on the spot.

Su Huaiyu went over immediately to check the opponent's breath.

The person didn't die, but suffered serious internal injuries, and I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in a short time.

Looking at Su Huaiyu's gaze, Gu Jinnian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but then the anger in his heart also broke out completely at this moment.

"King Qilin."

"Do you want to silence in public?"

Gu Jinnian looked at King Qi Lin and roared angrily.

Sensing Gu Jinnian's cold eyes, King Qi Lin didn't have any fear.

On the contrary, it is plausible.

"This person framed the Lord of the Bailu Mansion in public."

"This king believes that there must be someone instigating behind this."

"If you want to frame someone, and want to put everyone in the Bailu Mansion at risk, you should know better than this prince, right?"

"How can a small member of the staff know the secret of the majestic king? Anyone can see that he deliberately framed him, and of course he may have been instigated by someone."

"But no matter what, whether it is instigated by others, or framed to blame, it is impossible for this king to stand idly by and let him talk nonsense."

King Qi Lin spoke out, and what he said was impeccable.

His logic is fine too.

Indeed, how could it be possible for a mere county official to know the dignified Lord of the Bailu Mansion?Especially knowing the secret of the Lord of the Bailu Mansion?
But it's not logical, it's not logical, things can be asked slowly, interrupted directly, and they want to kill people in public.

This official authority is really not small.

Gu Jinnian was silent.

At this moment, the voices of other officials also followed.

"Indeed, if you can't believe the words of this kind of person, it will have no effect."

"Besides a mere county official, he actually got involved in the Fujun. Why is there no excuse for wanting to impose a crime?"

"I'm afraid someone is instigating it behind the scenes? Otherwise, how could a mansion's secret be known by such a person?"

The officials of Bailu Mansion and Jiangling County also spoke up one after another. They didn't say anything, but agreed with King Qi Lin's words.

It's just that Xu Ping, the governor of the Bailu Mansion, didn't speak. Firstly, his injury was not healed, and secondly, he didn't want to say anything, so he kept silent.

It can be said that except for the people outside the government office, everyone here is basically their own enemy.

King Qi Lin, Zhou He, Xu Ping, the officials of Jiangling County, the officials of Bailu Mansion, plus some scholars and masters invited, were also full of hostility towards him because of Kong Zhen.

Of course they were invited here, Gu Jinnian knew in his heart what would happen, the purpose of inviting them here was to witness all this with his own eyes.

Everyone is their own enemy.

This is probably what it means to be attacked.

And everything is nothing more than two points, and I am fighting alone.

These people are huddling together.

The power of one person is indeed difficult to suppress.

A lot of pressure.

Gu Jinnian was so old that he didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, a figure rushed into the government office.

Then, ignoring everyone else, he came directly to Gu Jinnian and transmitted the sound of martial arts.

"Your Highness, there is a conflict in Qingyuan Temple. Fairy Yaochi noticed the problem and wanted to go to the back mountain to check, but was stopped by the monks. Your Highness, please make a decision."

The transmission sounded.

Gu Jinnian couldn't help being surprised.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with Qingyuan Temple, and he guessed right.

"Immediately, send another 5 troops to encircle Qingyuan Temple, and no one is allowed to enter. Afterwards, a secret order will be sent to King Qilin's [-] troops to keep them under control. There are Xuanmen gates at the entrances of the four major cities of Bailu Mansion, and they will be escorted into the Xuanmen. At the gate, prepare another [-] crossbowmen and make all preparations."

Gu Jinnian answered via voice transmission.

He knew that there was something wrong with Qingyuan Temple, and now he finally showed his feet. This is very good, and it can be regarded as a little progress.

But the matter has not been resolved yet, and it needs to be done step by step, especially with King Qi Lin's [-] army, Gu Jinnian is really murderous.

It's just that it hasn't reached the critical moment, and more importantly, I don't have any valid reason to do this kind of thing.

You can be impulsive.

It is also possible to be bloody and kill a hundred thousand troops, but Gu Jinnian really can't bear the consequences of this beheading.

You can be reckless, but there are subtleties in the rough. If you do things too extreme, you will cause huge troubles for yourself and the Gu family.

If he killed one hundred thousand troops casually, he could really apologise with death.

However, he still had to stabilize the situation right now, and he had to wait until the results of the Qingyuan Temple investigation came out.

If the disappearance of the child is related to Qingyuan Temple, or if Wang Fugui and others are in Qingyuan Temple and they find out some information, then the deadlock can be broken.

Why didn't Gu Jinnian kill these officials?

Why are you talking about the truth here?

Don't you dare?

No.

Not dare.

Rather, Gu Jinnian knew what he was going to do.

Save these children.

This is the important thing. Being restricted by these people, being disgusted by these people, these are not big problems.

Children are the most important thing.

Even if half of the five or six thousand missing children were found, Gu Jinnian would accept it.

If a person is alive and can return home and reunite with his parents, then everything is okay, so what if he is wronged a little bit?

"Yes."

The latter complied and left quickly.

As for the others, they looked at Gu Jinnian one after another. They didn't know what the purpose of this person's visit was, and they didn't know what he had said to Gu Jinnian. They were all full of curiosity.

"Sir."

"Do you want to continue the trial?"

At this moment, King Qi Lin's voice sounded again.

Ask Gu Jinnian if he wants to continue the trial.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian just glanced at King Qi Lin, he was already passed out, what case is there to try?

However, Gu Jinnian did not choose to rest, but spoke instead.

"Pass to the rest of the witnesses."

Obviously, Gu Jinnian is delaying time, he wants to delay until everything is ready, and wait for an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

However, at this time.

Compared with the surging undercurrent in Bailu Mansion, Daxia Capital has completely exploded.

Gu Jinnian dispatched 20 troops to suppress Jiangling County. It was completely impossible to hide it. As the news became more and more, all the officials knew about it.

But today will be above.

Before going to court, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty had already begun to make trouble.

"How can this be achieved? How can it be achieved? The 20 troops were dispatched as soon as they were mentioned, and the officials of Jiangling County were all detained by Gu Jinnian and sent to Bailu Mansion. No one knows whether they are alive or dead."

"The roads that must be passed were all blocked by the army, and even a letter could not be delivered. This Gu Jinnian simply ignored the king's law and trampled on the imperial system. This is a capital crime, a huge capital crime. "

"There is no such thing, who allowed him to dispatch 20 troops? Without the dispatch of troops from the Ministry of War, without the order of His Majesty, what Gu Jinnian did is simply arrogant and arrogant. This is a capital offense. Today, the old man must be in court. Impeach Gu Jinnian."

"Yes, I must be impeached. Could it be said that the Great Xia Dynasty belongs to his Gu family? Is it his Gu Jinnian?"

One after another voices sounded, and all the officials roared, except for a few big figures who did not speak on this matter, most of the officials were roaring again and again.

Some generals didn't know what to say after hearing this. Too many things happened during this time.

The Xiongnu and Daxia are incompatible, and may declare war at any time.

Forget it, some time ago, the sudden death of the Marquis of Changyang caused some controversy. This happened not long ago, and now it happened again.

The power of the generals seems to be going downhill, one after another incident makes them feel heavy.

If Gu Jinnian did not have His Majesty's permission, then this matter would really explode.

And even with His Majesty's permission, all civil servants will not let it go.

There is no other reason, Gu Jinnian is too ruthless, with a 20 army, he can be transferred at will?There is no such reason.

It is indeed a bit excessive, and it is indeed a bit messy.

Even Duke Zhen couldn't keep Gu Jinnian.

Following the dispute among the officials, a voice also sounded.

"Xuan Baiguan enters the court."

With the eunuch's voice sounded.

All of a sudden, all the officials also shut up, and walked slowly from the cabinet into the main hall.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Visit as always.

In the hall, after Emperor Yongsheng had just finished speaking about his body, a voice sounded directly.

"His Majesty."

"The minister has the book to participate in the performance."

The voice sounded, it was the left servant of the Ministry of War.

"Play."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke lightly, without any emotion, as if he knew what would happen.

"Your Majesty, the grandson of Duke Zhen, Gu Jinnian went to Jiangling County, privately dispatched 20 troops, sealed off Jiangling County, and detained all officials to Bailu Mansion."

"According to the report from the spies, King Qilin sent [-] troops to suppress the inspection, but Gu Jinnian never thought that Gu Jinnian would go mad and fight with King Qilin's [-] troops. For Gu Daquan, General Changfei chose to surrender."

"Now it is controlled by Gu Jinnian in Bailu Mansion."

"Self-displacing troops, sealing off a county, detaining officials with the intention of civil strife, these are the four major capital crimes, please immediately draw up an order to forcibly withdraw the military power, and the Shankui army will detain Gu Jinnian into Beijing and release him to Dali Temple for review."

"Ask to kill Gu Jinnian, otherwise the court will collapse and the world will be in chaos."

The left servant of the Ministry of War was straightforward, he did not exaggerate at all, and directly convicted Gu Jinnian.

It is no longer a question of whether to target or not to target.

But what Gu Jinnian did was really unkind. What is the most important thing in a dynasty?It's the rules!

If there are no rules, if you want to transfer troops, you can transfer troops, and you can do whatever you want, then wouldn't this country be messed up?
The Ministry of Rites can't scold others, so can they just kill them all?
The Ministry of Industry makes utensils, because the price charged by the merchants is too high, can they directly lead soldiers to raid the house?
The Ministry of Households has no money to pay salaries to all officials, so can the officials go directly to search for people's fat and people's anointing?

With the voice of the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Immediately, new voices followed.

"Your Majesty, the Confucian family sent a letter to inform that Kong Zhen, a great Confucian scholar of the Confucian family, was tied to a wooden stake at the entrance of the city by Gu Jinnian and punished with whipping just because he spoke too much. It also shows Gu Jinnian's brutal nature."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Gu Jinnian."

It was a Confucian official, and the Confucius family sent a letter immediately, telling them some things, and at the court meeting, it was natural to tell the matter.

"Your Majesty, Gu Jinnian regards the law as nothing and the imperial power as nothing in this behavior. Relying on the name of Lord Zhen Guo, he has acted recklessly and is extremely arrogant. Please forgive me."

One after another voices sounded one after another.

The attitude of all officials reached a consensus.

This is not something that was discussed, but what Gu Jinnian did was really unkind.

The rules are messed up, and the court guidelines are messed up.

To explain in one sentence.

No matter what happened, the rules must be followed, but Gu Jinnian trampled on the rules.

Listen to Baiguan speak.

Emperor Yongsheng remained silent.

After everyone was completely quiet, Yongsheng the Great finally spoke out slowly.

"This time, it is my will for Gu Jinnian to go to Bailu Mansion."

"The matter of dispatching troops is also my intention."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke, and his words shocked all the officials in the court.

"Your Majesty, if you really mean it, why didn't you inform the Ministry of War?"

Some Confucian ministers spoke and asked Emperor Yongsheng.

"Military Department?"

Emperor Yongsheng stood up, then picked up a memorial from the side, and threw it directly in the hall.

"Keep your eyes open and see."

"Look at what happened in Bailu Mansion."

"Look at what happened in Jiangling County."

"In just two years, there were more than [-] missing children in Jiangling County."

"Why should I notify the Ministry of War? Notify you officials with black consciences?"

The roar of Emperor Yongsheng resounded.

In an instant, Baiguan's face became extremely ugly.

Many officials even showed signs of panic.

They didn't expect such a thing to happen in Jiangling County. After all, Jiangling County blocked the news, and the news they got was very limited.

Unlike the six ministers whose hands and eyes are open to the sky, they obviously knew it a long time ago, so after the court meeting began, they have not spoken.

At this moment, Manchu civil and military finally understood why Gu Jinnian was making such a fuss.

Seven thousand children lost?

In just two years.

This is really not a trivial matter, it is a big deal in Kyoto.

Seeing the silence of all the officials, Emperor Yongsheng continued to speak.

"Gu Jinnian did not mobilize troops privately, everything is my will."

"However, the time is right now, and it is indeed time for me to take care of these corrupt officials."

"Preach my order to have Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Department of Xuandeng go to Bailu Mansion to investigate the case of missing children."

"The minister of Dali Temple, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and the commander of the Lantern Division, are the supervisors."

"All command powers are handed over to the commander of the Lantern Division to investigate and handle."

"Let Gu Jinnian return to Beijing quickly and prepare for the Marquis ceremony."

"After the truth comes out, send all the criminals to the capital and punish them severely."

"Wei Xian listened to the order, I ordered you to go with me, and write down everything you saw, word by word. I would like to see what kind of person is hiding behind this small Bailu mansion."

"I also want to see if the 20 army can suppress Jiangling County."

"do you know?"

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

In fact, he already knew about this matter, and he sent Gu Jinnian over in the hope that Gu Jinnian would stir up the muddy water.

Now, things have met his expectations, so there is no need for Gu Jinnian to intervene in the future.

Gu Jinnian has already taken on a lot, if he takes care of Jinnian's temper, he is indeed a bit out of control, and he can come back now.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew about this matter, and the Great Xia Emperor himself knew about it, and then the people of the world would also know about it.

Then no one can hide this matter.

They have their way of solving it.

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Xian opened his mouth and received the order on the spot.

And the officials looked at all this, and they knew in their hearts that Emperor Yongsheng was actually favoring Gu Jinnian. The transfer of troops was definitely not that simple. Even if it was authorized by the emperor, he had to notify the Ministry of War.

After all, what they dispatched was 20 troops, not as simple as [-].

It's just that such a big incident happened in the Bailu Mansion, and it was concealed and not reported. This became the main thing, and the officials didn't dare to pester Gu Jinnian anymore.

Moreover, Gu Jinnian will also be recalled, so if he is punished, he should not be punished, as long as Gu Jinnian can return to Beijing honestly.

in this way.

At the end of the court meeting, hundreds of officials gathered in groups of three or five to discuss this matter.

The six ministers are not idle, and when such a big event happens, it is natural to negotiate some things in private.

The Dali Temple, the Xuandeng Division, and the Ministry of Punishment also rushed towards the Bailu Mansion immediately after receiving the news.

Especially Gu Ningya.

Hearing that Gu Jinnian had gone to Bailu Mansion, he was even more anxious to leave, but before leaving, Gu Ningya also went to Gu's house.

He didn't know that the old man was clear, but it was still necessary to discuss this matter with the old man.

An hour later.

Gu Ningya came out of the Gu family with a calm expression.

Because the meaning of the old man is very simple.

It's almost time, Gu Jinnian returns to Beijing, someone will take care of the rest.

But he added an extra sentence, no matter what Gu Jinnian did, it represented the Gu family.

It's just this sentence, Gu Ningya didn't understand what it meant at first, but after thinking for a long time, he gradually understood.

It was the old man's arrangement that Gu Jinnian went to Jiangling County, or in other words, it was the old man's and His Majesty's arrangement.

It's just that His Majesty thinks it's okay.

But the old man didn't stop His Majesty, but he gave Gu Jinnian the greatest confidence.

Something big is going to happen.

Although Gu Ningya was laughing and laughing with Gu Jinnian on weekdays, he may be the commander of the hanging lamp, his thoughts are more delicate than anyone else.

In this way, several troops rushed towards Bailu Mansion.

in this way.

By night.

In Bailu Mansion, some commoners were breathing, and even some officials could not help breathing, feeling a little sleepy.

After Wang Ping fainted, Gu Jinnian summoned other witnesses to ask questions, but he never came up with any results, giving the appearance of delaying time.

Everyone stayed with Gu Jinnian until now.

While the candle was burning, Gu Jinnian was still asking about some ordinary things, probably where he lived, whether he had a wife and children, and other nonsense.

These officials were a little unhappy, but they were not involved, so Gu Jinnian was allowed to continue making trouble.

Anyway, procrastination is a good thing for them. After the court finds out, Gu Jinnian will not want to show off his might here.

Although they also knew in their hearts that when the court found out, they would definitely punish them severely.

What is the result of severe punishment?It is nothing more than a group of people being beheaded, but most of them can be saved. I have never heard of beheading all officials in a place.

D.

The court is also like this, as for Xu Ping and Zhou He, it is almost the same as being demoted or dismissed from office.

Because the core of this matter is nothing more than 'not reporting what you know'.

It can be said that even if they are all caught in the capital, through the operation and maneuvering of all parties, no matter how big the matter is, it will be suppressed bit by bit, and then a small group of people will be unlucky, and most people will suffer. Gone.

If you dare to do this kind of thing, there are people above, and it will be easy for someone to do things. It has been a rule since ancient times.

Gu Jinnian was talking nonsense here, and they knew in their hearts that there was nothing they could do?
Also at this time.

When Gu Jinnian interrogated some useless information.

The figure who came to report before reappeared.

"His Royal Highness."

"The big thing is bad. The army surrounded Qingyuan Temple. Eight hundred monks gathered in Qingyuan Temple and set up a fire. They would rather die than let Yaochi Fairy and others break into the back mountain. If they cross the thunder pond, they will kill themselves in the temple."

"Qingyuan Temple has a relationship with Dayin Temple, Fairy Yaochi asked his subordinates to come and report."

The figure appeared, and it was still the sound transmission of martial arts.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian immediately put down the things in his hands, glanced at Su Huaiyu, and followed Su Huaiyu without saying a word.

"Go to Qingyuan Temple."

Gu Jinnian opened his mouth without being wordy.

He didn't know what was hidden in the mountain behind Qingyuan Temple, but the biggest clue now was inside Qingyuan Temple.

Eight hundred monks stopped with their lives?
This is a guilty conscience, and the biggest breakout has appeared. If it is used well, it can be wiped out in one go.

Therefore, Gu Jinnian didn't waste any time and ran quickly.

"My lord, where are you going?"

King Qi Lin got up, looked at Gu Jinnian and asked.

However, Gu Jinnian didn't even look at King Qi Lin, the horses were already prepared outside, and he got on the horses and left.

All of a sudden, all the officials looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at King Qi Lin.

The latter didn't talk too much, and immediately followed. Seeing the situation, all the officials also quickly followed.

All of a sudden, everyone followed Gu Jinnian away.

The Shankui army guarded the road in front, and Gu Jinnian and Su Huaiyu rushed towards Qingyuan Temple.

King Qi Lin and others all followed behind.

soon.

An hour and a half passed, and everyone ran with all their might.

Finally came to Qingyuan Temple.

Qingyuan Temple is a well-known place in Jiangling County, and it has a history of hundreds of years. The first generation of abbot is an eminent monk of Dayin Temple.

And Dayin Temple is the first Buddhist temple.

For this reason, the burning of incense in Qingyuan Temple continues, and many believers will come to Qingyuan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Many people even traveled hundreds of miles to burn incense and worship Buddha.

But today.

Inside the Qingyuan Temple, however, it looked very strange.

There was no one in the temple, and iron cavalry surrounded everything. After Gu Jinnian and others arrived, someone immediately stepped forward and took Gu Jinnian to the back mountain.

The mountain behind Qingyuan Temple.

far away.

Eight hundred monks blocked the cavalry, and charcoal was piled up around them, and all the monks sat around, as if, as long as you dare to break in, I will light the fire.

Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Yunrou were blocked outside, standing not far away and watching these monks quietly.

Waiting for Gu Jinnian to arrive.

Fairy Yunrou's voice sounded immediately.

"There is a big problem here. It was the first time I came here before, and I didn't notice anything. Our attention was all inside the temple and we ignored the outside of the temple."

"And Yao Chi seems to know something, you can ask him."

Fairy Yunrou took a sip of wine and told Gu Jinnian roughly what happened.

"Fairy Yaochi, what's going on?"

Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and looked at Fairy Yaochi.

"I asked them if they knew about Brother Wang and the others. They said they didn't, but I could hear their voices. They wanted to kill Brother Wang to silence them."

"I couldn't find any clues in the temple, so I think there is something wrong with the back mountain."

Fairy Yaochi spoke, and this was her answer.

Fairy Yaochi has some extraordinary talents, she can hear the voices of others, but sometimes it is useful and sometimes it is useless, and sometimes she can only hear some unimportant things.

But now it comes in handy.

"His Royal Highness, these monks obstructed, saying that if we want to break into the back mountain, we must step over their corpses."

"Big Xia has laws and regulations, you are not allowed to kill monks, we are not going to violate the laws."

"I also ask His Royal Highness to make a decision."

At this moment, Xu Jin opened his mouth, and he came to Gu Jinnian to inform him of the specific situation.

Hear this.

Combined with all kinds of talents just now, Gu Jinnian looked at the monks in the distance, clasped their hands together, and recited Buddhist scriptures, as if death was at home.

In the distance, the highest ranking monk seemed to feel Gu Jinnian's gaze.

Immediately opened his eyes, looked at Gu Jinnian, and shouted loudly.

"General."

"The back mountain is the place where the eminent monks of my Qingyuan Temple passed away. There is immortal Dharma. If you trespass without authorization and disturb the souls of the eminent monks, it is a sin. My eminent monks of Qingyuan Temple set up longevity lanterns on the back mountain."

"Pray for the people of Jiangling County. The soldiers are full of evil spirits. Once they step in, they will destroy the place of prayer. When the time comes, there will be natural disasters and man-made disasters in Jiangling County. I hope the general will forgive me."

This is the host of Qingyuan Temple, he shouted loudly, hoping that Gu Jinnian would show his noble hand and let it go.

That's the only way the devil would believe it.

"Everyone will obey."

"Assemble [-] iron cavalry, rush into the back mountain for me, search the situation, and report immediately if you find anything."

Gu Jinnian opened his mouth with a cold face, and directly issued the military order.

As soon as these words were said, in an instant, the faces of these monks became extremely ugly, and many young and energetic monks stood up, holding the torches tightly, looking like, if you dare to break in, I will die You see the trend.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not kill monks, or in other words, no dynasty in the world would kill monks.

There is no other reason, just like Confucianism, Buddhism has ascetic monks who cultivate blessings for the world, so they are blessed by heaven and earth, those who kill Confucianism will perish, and those who destroy Buddhism will suffer bad luck.

If [-] monks died here, it would be a big event. It's not that Gu Jinnian would be in trouble, but the Daxia Dynasty would be in trouble. Both the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty had Buddhist orthodoxy.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty has Buddhism, but there is no real orthodoxy in it. When this kind of thing happens, it will inevitably take this opportunity to attack the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, the number of believers is too large.

Reading also requires spending money to study. It is very simple to believe in Buddhism. If you kneel down and worship, you are considered a Buddhist believer.

"No."

King Qi Lin's voice sounded.

With a thunderous voice, he suppressed everyone present and prevented Gu Jinnian from acting like this.

"Why not?"

Gu Jinnian looked at King Qi Lin.

"Big Xia is not allowed to kill monks, Buddhism is a pure place, and you will not be allowed to do anything wrong."

"Gu Jinnian, I don't care what you want to do in the government office. My mother believes in Buddhism and is also a disciple of Buddhism. If you trample on Buddhism like this, I won't allow it."

King Qi Lin made a sound.

Find any reason to prevent Gu Jinnian from exploring the back mountain.

"His Royal Highness, there is indeed a prayer pagoda on the back mountain of Qingyuan Temple. There is a theory of Fengshui. If you break into it and destroy the Fengshui here, it will be the people of Jiangling County who will be unlucky in the future."

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness, this can't be fooled."

"These monks are protecting the common people. Why does His Royal Highness do this?"

"Why did Hao Duanduan come to Qingyuan Temple?"

One after another voices sounded, and these officials opened their mouths to stop them.

However, Gu Jinnian said coldly.

"Military orders are like mountains."

"Still not doing it?"

Gu Jinnian yelled, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people, the current flaw is here, and he still wants to delay himself?

Hearing this, the Shankui army stopped talking nonsense, gathered their iron cavalry, and rushed towards the back mountain.

"you dare?"

King Qi Lin roared loudly, it seemed that he was going to make a serious move.

"Assemble the army and take down King Qi Lin for me."

"Send another order to shoot and kill King Qi Lin's hundred thousand cavalry."

"My lord, your people have been taken to the entrance of Bailu Mansion by me."

"Do you believe that if I say a word, 10 people will be wiped out in an instant?"

Gu Jinnian is really not afraid anymore.

If you have the ability, just take a look, whether it is your strength or the military order.

As long as the news is conveyed, one hundred thousand cavalry will be wiped out in an instant.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, King Qi Lin fell silent.

No matter how stupid he is, he will never be so stupid as to sacrifice his [-] cavalry.

This is his foundation, because of such a battle, ruining the lives of [-] cavalry is a big trouble.

"General."

"If you send iron cavalry to break in, I will die here as a monk."

The monk in the distance spoke with a firm expression on his face.

"Then let me die."

When Gu Jinnian heard this, he responded directly, and then took the torch beside him and threw it into the distance.

Soon the torch fell to the ground and fell into the fire.

In an instant, a raging fire broke out, and the expressions of the eight hundred monks changed drastically.

The faces of all the officials also changed.

Who would have thought that Gu Jinnian would be so ruthless that he dared to kill him?

If this is killed, it is not a trivial matter.

As for the iron cavalry breaking in, there was no fear, and the search was started directly in the back mountain.

The fire burned down.

The monks panicked and started to flee one by one. They could frighten Gu Jinnian, but if they really let them die, they dare not die.

As for the officials, they were extremely anxious and sent people to put out the fire.

Fortunately, the fire was not big, and the other party was just pretending, so no one was injured.

However, several old monks obviously panicked and got up to leave.

"Detain all these monks."

Seeing this scene, Gu Jinnian immediately had these monks detained.

in this way.

Less than half an hour.

In the middle of the back mountain, iron cavalry rushed over, bringing several people with them.

It was Wang Fugui and others.

Sure enough.

Gu Jinnian took a deep breath, but Baiguan was extremely curious.

"His Royal Highness, in the back mountain, someone was found imprisoned."

Xu Jin appeared and put Wang Fugui, Jiang Yezhou, and several others down.

At this moment, Wang Fugui and the others were weak, their complexions were pale, and they were visibly thinner.

Immediately, the Yaochi Fairy directly took out some elixir, cast immortal spells, and entered their bodies.

Gu Jinnian came to the side to check their injuries.

A quarter of an hour later.

Wang Fugui woke up slowly, his eyes blurred. After seeing Gu Jinnian's face, although Wang Fugui was a little weak, he wanted to grab Gu Jinnian's shoulder.

"Under the Temple of the Temple."

Wang Fugui said, he was very weak, he didn't know what happened, even after swallowing the elixir, he still passed out.

Under the temple?

Gu Jinnian frowned.

At the same time, he looked at Fairy Yaochi and said.

"Fairy Yaochi, Brother Wang and others will leave it to you to take care of."

He didn't have time to take care of Wang Fugui now, but stood up and looked at Xu Jindao.

"There may be a secret passage under Qingyuan Temple, look for it carefully, if it really doesn't work, overturn Qingyuan Temple for me."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

give an order.

"Follow the order."

Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense, gathered his hands again, and started the search.

Gu Jinnian's face was grim.

He didn't even need these monks to confess themselves.

He wants to see the results for himself.

Tatata!
Tatata!
The five thousand elites frantically searched Qingyuan Temple, and there was no place where they did not go to investigate carefully. Even some Buddhist scriptures had to be opened and scanned to see if there was any problem.

in this way.

An hour later, a voice sounded.

"found it."

with the sound.

Everyone couldn't help rushing to the main hall.

I saw a soldier running out quickly.

"His Royal Highness."

"The Arhat Throne has an organ, and there is a secret passage under the Buddha, but it can only pass through one person."

The soldier opened his mouth, looked at Gu Jinnian and said so.

"Disassemble the channel for me."

Gu Jinnian didn't talk nonsense, the evidence was about to appear.

Nothing long-winded.

Soon, 500 people entered the hall, armed with axes and hammers, and directly expanded the underground passage of the Buddha several times. Some soldiers even smashed the foundation, revealing a huge hole.

At the moment, everyone enters.

Gu Jinnian also let out a long breath, thinking that Qingyuan Temple should be a place to hide children.

After all, places like temples are indeed leisurely. Although there are pilgrims, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and these people are also bold.

Normal people really can't think of Qingyuan Temple.

With the tunnel appeared.

Xu Jin and others volunteered to go down and test the situation to see if there was any danger.

Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed.

Then two hundred elite soldiers followed Xu into the interior.

The stone in Gu Jinnian's heart also completely fell.

In any case, as long as the children of the common people are found, then everything they have suffered is not worth mentioning.

That's the point.

As for the following matters, it is up to the imperial court to deal with them, who should be punished and who should be killed.

But Xu Jin and others entered the tunnel for a full hour, but there was no movement at all, which made people puzzled.

The good thing is.

An hour and a half later.

Xu Jin and others came out.

"Is the child down there?"

Seeing Xu Jin and the others come out, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but speak, this was what he was most concerned about.

However, he keenly noticed that the faces of Xu Jin and the others were a bit unsightly, especially the two hundred elites who followed before, all lowered their heads, and there was a little panic in their eyes.

It is intriguing to make soldiers panic.

"His Royal Highness."

"under."

"Your Highness should go and see for himself."

Xu Jin swallowed, as if he couldn't tell what was going on, so he could only ask Gu Jinnian to go and see for himself.

For a moment, Gu Jinnian's heart skipped a beat.

I feel something is wrong.

But he still nodded.

Go directly into the secret path, Su Huaiyu follows and walks together.

Leave these officials standing here.

Most officials are just curious.

But Xu Ping's face was pale.

"Master Xu, be careful, and rest well after the court comes."

But at this moment, King Qi Lin's voice sounded, making Xu Ping rest well.

Hearing this, Xu Ping couldn't help but look up at King Qi Lin.

The two sides looked at each other.

At that moment, Xu Ping took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually stabilized.

Soon, everyone entered the tunnel, which was not particularly spacious.

But as you go down, it becomes more and more spacious.

At the back, it is even more unique, as if it is a mausoleum, with oil lamps on both sides.

Because they came down for a while, Xu Jin took everyone forward, saving some time.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour.

Finally a larger space appeared.

But everyone froze in place.

In a huge underground space.

A blood-red spider was locked in the air, clinging to the spider web.

This spider was huge, at least ten feet wide, but its legs were all broken, leaving only its body.

The huge spider web is scary.

But that's not what's really scary.

Instead.

There are clusters of spider threads on the spider web, and among the spider threads are girls.

On the foreheads of these girls, there is a spider thread with a thick index finger inserted between the eyebrows, and traces of blood condense into the spider body along the spider thread.

Quiet.

Everyone held their breath.

Gu Jinnian was a little dazed.

Looking at all this, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't know what to say.

On a spider web, there are three to four thousand spider clusters, large and small.

And many spider clusters fell on the ground, and inside were corpses that were extremely dry.

"Blood demon spider."

"Why is there such a monster here?"

"This kind of monster sucks human blood for cultivation."

"But its legs and feet were cut off, as if it was being sacrificed."

"No, it's impossible, no one would sacrifice such a thing."

"Unless it is tempering blood essence."

Su Huaiyu was also shocked, he couldn't help but speak, looking at all this.

He revealed the origin of the monster.

But Gu Jinnian's voice couldn't help but ring out.

With a tremor.

"Can these children be saved?"

Gu Jinnian's voice trembled a little, not because of fear, but because of numbness, numbness all over his body.

He does so many things.

Dispatch the army.

Lawless.

Challenge the prince.

Everything is in the hope of saving these children.

As long as people live.

All is well said.

"The moment the spider thread pierces the eyebrows, there is no way to recover. These children... died long ago."

"Some, it seems that it hasn't been long, just pierced."

"They are just containers now, containers for refining blood essence."

Su Huaiyu didn't want to be too direct.

But in the end, tell the truth.

All dead?

Gu Jinnian's body was a little weak, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, Xu Jin and others immediately supported Gu Jinnian.

"His Royal Highness."

Several people shouted.

And Gu Jinnian grabbed Xu Jin's shoulder, his body was shaking, and there was killing intent in his eyes.

It's a monstrous killing intent.

More than 5000 children.

Even if the missing children in Bailu Mansion were kidnapped, Gu Jinnian would not be so emotional.

Being kidnapped and sold, the big deal is to buy it back, spend money to do things, and spend the treasury.

But I didn't expect it to be ten times, a hundred times worse than being kidnapped.

At this moment, Gu Jinnian felt a murderous intent.

The real killing intent.

"Xu Jin!"

"you listen to me."

"Listen to my son."

"Now!"

"Now!"

"Go out now and behead all those officials on the spot."

"Tell them, including their families, their nine clans, to let them go."

"In addition to Xu Ping, there is also Zhou He. I will keep the two of them for me."

"No, no, no."

"Leave all the main officials to me, and I will make them tortured to death."

"Go and deliver the order."

"Shoot and kill King Qi Lin's [-] troops immediately."

"I will give blood for blood and tooth for tooth."

Gu Jinnian was really going crazy.

He couldn't speak clearly.

Five or six thousand young children, although their families may not be rich, but they have fathers and mothers, and elders love them.

Their future may not be very exciting.

But they are the foundation of Great Xia.

Was kidnapped.

Gu Jinnian has nothing to say, some people are beasts, and their interests are overwhelming.

But now being treated so cruelly.

Gu Jinnian didn't know how to face the parents of these people at all.

The family of these people.

How many people will suffer for this for a lifetime.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness."

"What's the matter with you, what's the matter with you?"

A sound rang out.

Gu Jinnian was really about to faint, he fainted out of anger, he was about to faint in pain.

He didn't understand.

What kind of beast can do such a thing.

"Sir!"

"Calm down!"

Su Huaiyu roared, he grabbed Gu Jinnian's shoulder to calm him down.

Although he was extremely upset in his heart, he hoped that Gu Jinnian would calm down.

Otherwise, something will happen instead.

Hear Su Huaiyu's words.

Gu Jinnian gradually calmed down.

Time passed little by little.

A full two hours.

Gu Jinnian stayed here for two hours before he completely calmed down.

"Xu Jin."

Gu Jinnian spoke hoarsely.

All the soldiers were silent, but their eyes were firm.

"Don't move yet, bring the three clans of these officials outside."

"Don't let one go."

"Detained to Bailu Mansion."

"There's also Kong Zhen."

"All those who have relations with them will be detained."

"Qingyuan Temple is completely sealed off."

"Don't spread the news here, kill the demon spider, and place these corpses properly."

"But don't say it, brothers, don't say it."

"I implore you all, strictly control your mouth and don't say a word."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

He doesn't want this matter to be spread, once it is spread, it is not a matter of influence.

It's the parents of these children who will be heartbroken and don't tell them that they have another thought.

It would be too cruel to tell them.

Gu Jinnian couldn't do it.

"Please don't worry, my son, I will never spread it indiscriminately."

The soldiers spoke together, but there were tears in their eyes. Although they were soldiers, their hearts were full of flesh.

Seeing this scene, how many people are not sad?

Thinking of the people outside who were complaining, they didn't know how to deal with it.

"Go."

Gu Jinnian made a faint sound, then sat here, quietly watching all this.

Although he calmed down.

But this incident left an indelible mark on his heart.

Su Huaiyu sat aside, silent.

Although he has not been in contact with Gu Jinnian for a short time, he can tell what kind of character Gu Jinnian is.

So kind.

It's the kind of character who can't see the suffering of the people.

It's hard to imagine why a top dignitary in Great Xia would have such a character.

But Su Huaiyu clearly knew that Gu Jinnian's character would really win the hearts of the people.

Because, he is for the people, never for any benefit.

It is doing things for the people from the heart.

in this way.

Time passed little by little.

Outside, no one knew what happened, only that after Xu Jin came out, he immediately blocked Qingyuan Temple with heavy troops and brought all the officials to Bailu Mansion.

Then for a whole day, Gu Jinnian did not show up, as if everything had calmed down.

But with the movement of the past few days.

In Jiangling County, many people came here, and they were all the people who lost their children.

They came here just to find their children.

until late at night.

Finally, the court's decree came.

Wei Xian made a decree that the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Xuandeng Department jointly investigate the case, and at the same time praised Gu Jinnian, and then invited Gu Jinnian to return to Beijing.

Here, there is no need for Gu Jinnian to do anything.

After getting this answer, the officials were mixed.

The happy thing is that Gu Jinnian is leaving. This unruly person really gave them a headache.

What is worrying is that the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Department of Xuandeng have joined forces to handle the case, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

But no matter what, Gu Jinnian is leaving, so it's easy to talk about.

And he didn't see Gu Jinnian for two consecutive days. According to Baiguan, Gu Jinnian might have returned to Beijing secretly.

And this time.

Under the tunnel of Qingyuan Temple.

Soldiers are collecting the bodies of children.

Xu Jin came and informed Gu Jinnian that someone from the court was coming, and also relayed Wei Xian's imperial edict to Gu Jinnian.

"General Xu, have the other matters been handled properly?"

Gu Jinnian asked the other party.

"His Royal Highness, everything has been properly handled."

Xu Jin nodded.

"it is good."

"Tomorrow at noon, I will go back."

Gu Jinnian spoke with a dejected tone.

"Yes."

Xu Jin nodded, he understood what Gu Jinnian was going to do.

But he didn't stop it.

Because he thought that what Gu Jinnian did.

That's right.

That's it.

With the close cooperation of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Xuandeng Division, the case began to be thoroughly investigated one by one. The power of the three parties was indeed strong, and officials were also uncovered.

At the place where the case was handled, Gu Ningya and Gu Leng were sitting on the left and right.

Gu Ningya was a little curious that Gu Jinnian hadn't come out yet.

And Gu Liang looked thoughtfully at the government office, but in the end he didn't say anything.

until.

Noon on the second day.

An elite army of thousands of people went on a rampage and directly detained all the major and small officials of Bailu Mansion and Jiangling County.

Even ignoring the Ministry of Punishment, the Department of Hanging Lanterns, and Dali Temple.

The case has been handed over to the three parties, and all the officials were detained in one place and interrogated by the three parties separately.

But the sudden appearance of the Shankui army was extremely domineering and captured all the officials, arousing the curiosity of all parties.

King Qi Lin, the Confucianism sent by the Confucian family, and people from the imperial court all rushed away.

No one knows what happened.

I only saw Xu Jin leading people, detaining the officials to the open space of the execution ground, and tying them to the ground.

It attracted many people from Bailu Mansion to watch.

"What are you doing?"

"You don't listen to the order of the Ministry of Punishment? Are you going to rebel?"

"The people of Dali Temple, you dare to take them away by force? Do you want to rebel?"

There were roars of anger, and the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Department of Hanging Lanterns all became angry.

As for Gu Leng, Gu Ningya, and the Minister of Dali Temple, they didn't come forward directly.

"Military Order of the Son of Heaven."

Xu Jin's face was cold, and he rejected everything with four words.

Shizi Military Order.

This answer made everyone curious. Everyone thought that Gu Jinnian had left, but they didn't expect that Gu Jinnian hadn't left yet?
And this time.

Inside Qingyuan Temple.

Gu Jinnian walked out of the temple.

The sun fell.

But he couldn't get rid of the shadow in Gu Jinnian's heart.

He rode on his horse and rushed towards Bailu Mansion.

Su Huaiyu never left her.

Fairy Yaochi and others returned to Bailu Mansion to take care of Wang Fugui and others.

in this way.

An hour or so.

Gu Jinnian came to Bailu Mansion.

Came to Bailu Mansion again.

Gu Jinnian went straight to the execution ground.

However, someone found Gu Jinnian and couldn't help shouting.

Soon, many people showed up, and some even knelt on the ground, wailing loudly. His daughter was missing. Hearing that Gu Jinnian was dealing with such grievances in Bailu Mansion, they came running non-stop.

Then, more and more people appeared who wanted to get their children back. They cried and shouted, begging Gu Jinnian for help.

Some people, in order to find children, exhausted their wealth.

Some people, in order to find their children, give everything.

No one knows how much suffering and suffering they suffered along the way.

As long as the child can be found.

They are all willing.

Gu Jinnian didn't look at them.

It's not that I don't want to watch.

But dare not look.

In my mind, thousands of corpses of children linger.

and.

When Gu Jinnian appeared at the execution ground, many people came over immediately.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree. What His Highness has done this time has won His Majesty's heart. Please return to Beijing quickly to receive the merit."

The first person to come was Wei Xian, holding the imperial decree in his hand, and had been looking for Gu Jinnian for the past few days. Now that he saw it, he was naturally very happy, so he came to congratulate him.

However, Gu Jinnian ignored him.

directly across.

"Jinnian, where have you been these few days?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter. This is the old man's intention. You should take a good rest. Now Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Department of Xuandeng will investigate thoroughly. You can go back to Beijing to rest."

The second person to come was Gu Ningya.

He was smiling all over his face at first, but seeing Gu Jinnian's serious eyes, he restrained his smile.

However, Gu Jinnian still crossed over, ignoring his sixth uncle.

In the distance, Gu Leng saw all this, but remained silent. He originally wanted to come over, but in the end he didn't.

He seemed to know something and understood Gu Jinnian's current mood.

As for the third person.

It was Xu Jin who came, his expression remained unchanged, he cupped his hands and opened his mouth.

"Your Highness, everything is in order."

Xu Jin opened his mouth and told Gu Jinnian that everything was ready.

Hear this.

Gu Jinnian nodded.

Then he looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, and said coldly.

"cut!"

Gu Jinnian spoke.

sounded.

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers came directly behind the officials with swords in their hands, ready to execute.

In an instant, one after another sound sounded.

"No! Jinnian, His Majesty has an order. I have already taken over this matter. Don't be confused."

When Gu Leng's voice sounded, his expression changed. He didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be so decisive.

Although he guessed some, he didn't expect that his nephew would do this.

"Jinnian, don't be confused. These people still need to be investigated. Many things have not been concluded, and the law does not blame everyone. You can't kill them all in one go. Don't talk nonsense."

Gu Ningya came directly, telling Gu Jinnian not to be confused.

"Gu Jinnian, His Majesty's order has been issued, this matter has nothing to do with you, Dali Temple takes over, don't mess around."

The Minister of Dali Temple was also shocked and stopped him quickly.

As for the officials kneeling on the ground, their faces turned pale with fright.

Why did Gu Jinnian go crazy all of a sudden?

"Your Majesty has everything."

"Gu Jinnian, are you resisting the decree?"

"This king is here, who dares to mess around?"

Soon, King Qi Lin's voice sounded.

He also spoke out at critical moments to stop Gu Jinnian's behavior.

Even intimidated the Shankui army.

just.

Accompanied by a burst of screams.

Soon, not far away, heads fell to the ground one by one.

But it's not the heads of hundreds of officials.

But their relatives.

Not far away, a group of people appeared, took the prisoner aside, and followed Gu Jinnian's words just now.

These people were executed directly.

It's just because Gu Jinnian attracted everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?"

"Who are these people?"

"Who allowed you to kill people indiscriminately? What do you think of the Criminal Department?"

Shouts of astonishment, doubts, and the roars of some officials of the Ministry of Punishment sounded out one after another.

Although it wasn't a hundred officials who were killed, there was a problem with beheading. Without the verification of the Ministry of Punishment, who could do anything reckless?
"Madam, Madam, why was my wife beheaded?"

"Father, father, Gu Jinnian, why did you kill my father?"

"Brother, that's my brother, Gu Jinnian, are you crazy?"

At this moment, the voices of the officials kept ringing.

They didn't recover from it at first, but when they regained their composure, they were shocked to find that the people who had just been beheaded were all their own relatives.

All of a sudden, the gang of officials began to howl like ghosts and wolves.

"Gu Jinnian, do you want to die?"

"Gu Jinnian, you are resisting the order."

"Gu Jinnian, you regard Daxia's law as nothing, His Majesty will never let you go."

Roar sounded.

The officials from Kyoto were completely paralyzed.

Gu Jinnian is simply crazy.

The emperor made an order, but Gu Jinnian still wanted to kill him.

"Xu Jin, control everyone. Anyone who dares to interfere with the execution ground will be killed without mercy."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

His voice was cold.

"The order will be followed."

Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense. In the street, a large number of soldiers appeared in an instant, directly blocking everything to maintain order.

The Ministry of punishment is also good.

Dali Temple, or the Lantern Division.

All are controlled at the first time.

Even Gu Ningya was forcibly pulled aside.

"Jin Nian."

"Don't be confused."

"You can't be killed. You really can't be killed. Uncle Six will assure you that anyone involved in this case will be killed. Don't make claims or resist orders."

Gu Ningya was in a hurry, he cried out anxiously, hoping that Gu Jinnian would calm down.

"Jinnian, there is a decree, you can't mess around, a grandfather like you can't keep you."

Even Gu Leng, who has always been extremely calm, is a little anxious at this moment.

Gu Jinnian dispatched 20 troops.

Just treat it as the emperor's private authorization, turn the blame on Wu Wangzhi later, just make a flat adjustment, the Gu family will give some compensation, and everything will be fine.

But now, the emperor has decreed that Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Department of Xuandeng will jointly investigate the case. To put it bluntly, the imperial court will take care of this matter.

Killing is also good.

Let it go.

It is also the meaning of the court, the meaning of His Majesty.

It means civil and military officials.

But Gu Jinnian is now doing the wrong thing.

It can't kill.

Can't kill it.

"His Royal Highness, please don't kill me, I beg your Royal Highness, please calm down."

Even Wei Xian opened his mouth, begging Gu Jinnian not to be impulsive.

"Cut again."

Facing everyone's persuasion, Gu Jinnian just spoke lightly.

Spit out two words.

In an instant, another group of people appeared and their heads were beheaded.

close relatives of these officials.

Heads rolled to the ground.

The group of officials let out heart-piercing cries and curses.

Even if the Ministry of Criminal Justice cooperated with the investigation, they were only beheaded if they survived, but Gu Jinnian was so ruthless that he wanted to kill their whole family.

This is too harsh.

"Gu Jinnian, you bastard, why did you kill my whole family?"

"Gu Jinnian, you resist the order, you ignore the imperial power, you ignore the Ministry of Punishment."

"I'm a ghost and I won't let you go, ahhh!"

These curses continue.

The onlookers didn't know what happened, they just watched like this.

"Cut again."

Gu Jinnian's expression didn't change.

Another head fell to the ground.

Everyone is numb.

Also looked silly.

"cut!"

Gu Jinnian did not pause.

People change batch by batch.

The smell of blood permeates.

Some people are unwell.

Gu Jinnian's killing was so chilling that even King Qi Lin was moved.

He didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be so ruthless.

Is this going to take your own life in exchange for theirs?
At the end, Xu Jin's voice sounded.

"His Royal Highness."

"All the family members of the officials will be killed."

With this voice sounded.

Gu Jinnian looked at these officials with endless killing intent in his eyes.

"It's painful, isn't it?"

"Desperate, huh?"

"Have you ever thought about how painful these people who lost their children are? How desperate are they?"

"You guys, as officials, if you don't avenge the people's grievances, don't relieve the people's worries, whether it's because of interests or power, it's the people who will be harmed, and ultimately you."

"Today, my son, I want all the officials in the Great Xia to know that those who are not benevolent officials will be killed without mercy."

"cut."

Gu Jinnian spoke again.

One command.

The head of the official fell to the ground instantly.

But soon, another group of officials were arrested.

This is an official from another prefecture.

In the past two days, Gu Jinnian asked Xu Jin to investigate secretly.

The officials he beheaded were basically officials who had been exposed to this matter but did nothing.

As long as there is no contact, Gu Jinnian will not kill innocent people in vain.

As for the beheading of the whole family, it was the main officials involved.

One is one.

Two is two.

Gu Jinnian would not kill innocent people indiscriminately because of anger, these people all deserved to die.

"cut."

"cut."

"cut."

Inside Bailu Mansion.

Gu Jinnian's extremely powerful voice sounded.

Every sound represents the landing of a head.

The Ministry of punishment was stupid.

Xuan Deng was dumbfounded.

Dali Temple is stupid.

Wei Xian was also dumbfounded.

The governor, the sheriff, and some high officials are all stupid.

What Gu Jinnian did would definitely cause big trouble.

This is really, you have to risk your life for your life.

After half an hour.

Xu Jin spoke again.

"His Royal Highness, all criminals will be beheaded."

"Let Zhou He and Xu Ping, the main officials involved in the incident, be executed Ling Chi."

Gu Jinnian spoke again.

Beheading is just a punishment.

Gu Jinnian will not be merciful to the officials involved with Zhou He and Xu Ping.

But as soon as these words were said, Zhou He's voice sounded directly.

"I am the governor of Jiangling County. You cannot kill me if His Majesty has no will."

"Gu Jinnian, you just want to use military power to kill this old man."

"Why can you kill me? And what can you use to convict the old man?"

"The old man is going to Beijing to face the saint."

Hearing Ling Chi's execution, Zhou He couldn't help but speak.

He obviously didn't want to.

"Gu Jinnian, you're going too far."

"Is it up to you to be the magistrate of a majestic county?"

"It's not enough for you to kill so many officials, how many more do you want to kill?"

"There must be a reason for killing people. Mr. Zhou is nothing more than listening to slander and failing to fulfill his duty. Sending him to the frontier is considered a severe punishment, but you want to execute him Ling Chi. Are you Gu Jinnian who wrote this Great Xia law?"

"It's just nonsense, nonsense."

The voice kept ringing.

Gu Jinnian looked extremely indifferent.

But right now.

Someone suddenly knelt on the ground, it was a woman, she looked at Gu Jinnian and cried loudly.

"grown ups."

"Is our child dead?"

"My lord, the woman has been looking for her for a year, and the woman also knows that my poor child is no longer alive."

"But the woman wants to see her for the last time, please, my lord, let me see her."

The woman knelt down.

She seemed to have guessed something. After all, the case was still under investigation, but Gu Jinnian directly killed so many people.

The people don't understand.

But these parents who lost their children gradually realized one thing or two.

Gu Jinnian must know some secrets.

It's just that Gu Jinnian didn't say anything.

In an instant, the common people knelt on the ground one by one, like this woman, they all knelt on the ground, begging Gu Jinnian to give them an answer.

Although they vaguely guessed.

But they still want a definite answer.

see this scene.

Gu Jinnian was silent.

This was what he was most afraid of.

I don't know how to face these people.

I don't know whether to say it or not.

He didn't want to say.

But I'm afraid of their meaningless search.

But seeing them kneeling on the ground, crying one by one, hoping that Gu Jinnian could give an answer.

Even if it is death, I want to know the answer.

Listen to the people crying.

Many people are curious.

Gu Jinnian took a deep breath.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground.

Gu Jinnian knelt down to the people.

He can't bear the kneeling of the common people.

"It's Gu who is incompetent."

Gu Jinnian lowered his head.

He dared not look into the eyes of the people.

This statement came out.

All the people kneeling on the ground were completely lost.

Some people even passed out directly.

Can't bear this blow at all.

"My lord. Is anyone still alive?"

Someone swallowed, looked at Gu Jinnian, hoping to see a little bit of hope, even if there is still one person alive, isn't it a kind of hope?
But Gu Jinnian's voice was trembling.

He never raised his head.

Make a sound slowly.

"450 cases of missing children."

"Contain the corpses, six thousand eight hundred and ninety two."

sounded.

for a while.

Everyone present was stunned.

Wei Xian, Gu Ningya, Gu Leng, wait, wait.

Everyone was stunned.

[-] cases were reported.

The death toll far exceeds that.

In other words.

No life.

Gu Ningya froze in place.

He finally understood why Gu Jinnian was so mad.

But Wei Xian just stood there in a daze.

he knows.

This time, it's not that simple.

Daxia is about to shake.
