low-key is king

Chapter 219

It's daylight!

The atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony has never been as weird as it is today.

All civil servants and military generals who are still in Tianyang City have gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But there was no communication between them. Even the few guys who usually jumped up and down like chatterboxes forcibly resisted the urge to talk.

They are all waiting for their upcoming fate, just like fish on a cutting board, waiting for the master to come to pronounce the sentence, all of them are anxious, how can they have the heart to communicate with others?
Many people looked at the two figures who were sitting upright, one of them was His Majesty the Monarch, and the other was the Empress Empress who was in power for a while.

The mood of these civil servants and military generals is undoubtedly quite emotional. Seeing the empress empress who was talking and laughing in the court before, with such a gloomy and pale face, it is not a pleasant feeling.

"Your Majesty's state seems to be a bit wrong!"

Other interested people noticed the state of the monarch Lu Mingshan. To be honest, this was the first time they had seen the monarch in the past year.

Everyone was watching the state of sitting upright speechless and staring blankly, thinking about some rumors circulating in the dark, they seemed to have come into contact with the truth.

"Hehe, it's all here!"

Just when everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was thinking about each other, a light laughter suddenly came from outside the hall, making them all tremble, and they knew who had arrived immediately.

"East Town King!"

When everyone turned their heads and saw the figure dressed in military armor and stepping into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, their expressions became solemn, because this person is the absolute ruler of Xuanyang Kingdom.

Even some people are thinking in their hearts that even if His Majesty the Monarch is not controlled by the Yan family, he is afraid that his authority will not be more important than that of Zhendong King.

Immediately behind Lu Mingyang, there were several figures, including the prime minister Zhao Qidong, including his two sons, Zhao Bicheng and Zhao Minglou, who were in the Xuanyang court and also had duties.

In addition, there were several civil servants who secretly communicated with Zhao Qidong. Seeing these high-spirited people following behind the Prime Minister, many people in the palace were envious.

Especially when many people thought about the misfortune that would happen in the great dynasty a few months ago, no one thought that the Prime Minister's family who fled Tianyang City in a panic at that time could re-enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony in such a beautiful way?

Xu Mingfeng, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has disappeared, but the pool of blood he left behind seems to be telling everyone about the past, and it has also witnessed the shocking reversal of the entire situation.

No one touched the pool of blood that belonged to Xu Mingfeng, as if they were afraid of getting some kind of curse, or maybe they were afraid of being angered by Prime Minister Zhao Qidong.

"The King of Zhendong is mighty and invincible, the trend of the times, he should be the new master of Xuanyang!"

Just as everyone was sizing up Lu Mingyang and his party, a shout suddenly came out from the position of the military commander on the right, making everyone's eyes turn away in an instant.

Being stared at by everyone, the man's face remained unchanged, and there was still a touch of flattery on his face. He knew that if he didn't stand in line at this time, what was waiting for him might be a tragic death on the spot.

"Guo Liqun, do you really not recognize you as a fool?"

Although Zhao Qidong is not a cultivator, but at this moment, a pair of old eyes turned over, exuding a faint light, staring at the old man named Guo Liqun and shouting angrily, even with an undisguised sarcasm.

Hearing Zhao Qidong's words, many people showed a trace of disdain on their faces.

They naturally knew Guo Liqun. When the Yan family came to power, this guy fell the fastest, and many upright people were killed by him terribly.

Unexpectedly, when the Yan family fell, Guo Liqun was the first one to stand up and join the Zhendong Prince's Mansion. He even yelled "the new master", which is a model of shamelessness.

"Old Zhao, I was also forced to submit to Yan's lustful power before, but I endured humiliation. As long as Mr. Zhao needs it, I can offer up all the scandals and evil things Yan has done. Nothing left out!"

Guo Liqun's posture was very low at the moment, and after hearing his words, both the empress Yan Chaolu and the generals loyal to the Yan family all changed their expressions slightly.

Although this Guo Liqun is a flattering person, he is extremely cunning and a person who can do things. The Yan family valued him a lot before, and entrusted him with many important things, and there were also many shady things.

If Guo Liqun really revealed those things, Yan Chaolu would be fine, and the other civil servants and military generals who followed Yan's to do evil, I'm afraid it would be impossible for them to be alone.

At this moment, countless people hated Guo Liqun to the bone.

This may be Guo Liqun's way of survival. He is submitting his name to King Zhendong.

Coupled with the fact that he thought he was the first person to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", the other party was in the midst of employing someone, so he had the greatest chance of life after all.

"Bicheng, have you clearly listed Guo Liqun's crimes?"

However, just as Guo Liqun's words fell, he heard a majestic voice in his ears, it was from Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, which made his heart sink, but it made other people's hearts move.

"My lord, here are all the crimes Guo Liqun committed in his life!"

Above the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhao Bicheng did not regard himself as the elder brother of King Zhendong's family. Seeing him take a step forward, he shook a scroll, almost frightened Guo Liqun to the ground.

This scumbag who has done all kinds of bad things can't stand the investigation. Those things he did were protected by the Yan family in the past, so no one dared to investigate them, but would King Zhendong care about them?

"On the fifth day of June in the fifth year of Xuanyang calendar 430, Guo Liqun coveted a snail jade pendant in the household servant's house, and secretly planned to kill his whole family and sink their corpses at the bottom of the river. His crime is the same!"

Zhao Bicheng didn't care about Guo Liqun's face, hearing him read out the other party's first crime made many people look surprised, and some even burst into anger.

This matter was an unsolved case back then, and I don't know if it was really impossible to find out, or I didn't dare to investigate deeply. In short, the whole family of the household servant was wiped out, and finally nothing happened.

"Guo Liqun, it turns out that you are the thief who killed Brother Lin's family!"

A civil servant who looked to be in his fifties raised his hand, his fingers were trembling, and he pointed at Guo Liqun and cursed loudly. It seemed that he had a good relationship with the household servant surnamed Lin.

"September of the seventh year of Xuanyang calendar 430,..."

"In February of the year 440 in the Xuanyang calendar,..."

"..."

Zhao Bicheng first glanced at the scolding person indifferently, and after saying that this guy is not a good bird, he continued to read Guo Liqun's crimes.

After reading several serious crimes in a row, Zhao Liqun was really paralyzed, as if all his strength had been emptied, and he felt that all his secrets could not be hidden in front of the Zhendong King.

Not only Guo Liqun, the person concerned, but when the series of serious crimes were about to come out, many people also fell silent, including the civil servant who yelled just now.

Because the bottom of their buttocks is not too clean, King Zhendong arrested Guo Liqun as a model to explain to them that my Zhendong Palace has a clear grasp of all the scandals and evil things you have done.

The reason why he knows Guo Liqun's crimes well is not only due to the contribution of the Zhendong Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace, but the biggest reason is the information Lu Xun got from Tingxinlou.

Those who can enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony are all prominent figures in the Xuanyang state. This is the key goal of the Tingxinlou branch, especially the things these guys do secretly can always be sold at a high price.

Of course, if it weren't for Lu Xun's relationship, if he wanted to buy the information of these Xuanyang officials, he would have to spend a lot of money, and he might not be able to get such comprehensive information.

Originally, King Zhendong wanted to count the crimes of these courtiers on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but Guo Liqun did not expect Guo Liqun to jump out by himself, so he naturally had to attack this wall first.

"Seven deadly crimes, all crimes should be executed, come here!"

After hearing Zhao Bicheng read Guo Liqun's seventh deadly crime, Lu Mingyang took over the conversation and gave a cold shout.

Immediately afterwards, two majestic figures stepped across the gate of the palace and set up Guo Liqun on the left and right.

Speaking of which, Guo Liqun is also a martial artist who has just entered the fourth realm, but at this moment, under the control of those two, he has no strength to resist at all, and his face is pale.

"No! My lord, please forgive me. I was bewitched by the Yan family. No, no, I was coerced by them. Please forgive me, my lord!"

It wasn't until the moment when he was pulled to the door of the palace that Guo Liqun seemed to regain some energy, but the begging voice in his mouth was of no use at all except to make Yan Chaolu and others' faces more gloomy.

"what!"

A moment later, there was a high-pitched scream from outside the hall, and everyone trembled. They knew that Guo Liqun had been beheaded, which was simply a blow.

All of a sudden, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony became even quieter. Some people who wanted to "anyway" with Guo Liqun just now were all silent, not daring to pant too loudly.

But is it okay if you don't make a sound?
Looking at the scroll that Zhao Bicheng took out again, everyone secretly prayed that what was written on it must not be their own crimes, otherwise they would be the next to die.

"Hehe, the king of Zhendong is really powerful. He kills people at will in this Hall of Supreme Harmony. Doesn't even His Majesty take it seriously?"

Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a chuckle suddenly came from the depths of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which attracted everyone's attention.

Including Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, he also looked towards the top dragon and phoenix chair.

Everyone could see clearly that the one who chuckled just now was the Empress Xuanyang, Yan Chaolu, who was also the last high-ranking member of the Yan family.

Apart from being pale, there was also a strange smile on her face.
