Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 560 Domineering

Zhen Yao, the Minister of Punishment, threw a report on the conference table and spoke feebly: "Five students from the inner sect of Taixue openly attacked the sergeants, resisted orders against their superiors, disrupted the order of the imperial capital, broke through the left and right guard camps, and kidnapped the Minister of War..."

After Master Zhen finished reading a series of charges, he put down the paper tremblingly and said in a more serious tone: "What should we do? Let's discuss it!"

The conference room was filled with gloom and gloom. All the elites of the Punishment Department had pale faces and dull eyes, as if no one in the huge Punishment Department had a meeting so they dug up a dozen mummies from graves to make up for it.These adults are all things that make villains fearful. They have good reputations such as "King of Hell" and "Judge", but at this time, they all look like thieves who entered the cell on the first day, humble, pitiful and helpless.

Lao Guo, the soul-catching claw, was the first to speak: "Master Zhen, in my opinion, all the young talents in the inner sect are the future pillars of the empire. After all, this matter was caused by a mistake in the work of the Ministry of War, so it might as well..."

Master Zhen glared fiercely: "What's the matter? Such a serious disaster must be severely punished. This is a matter of principle!"

Lao Guo grimaced and stopped talking. Xiao Wang, the "Living King of Hell", mustered up his courage and said cautiously: "No, no, why not, give each of them a hard punishment...?"

Zhen Shangshu picked up the tea cup and wanted to smash it on the head of the Living King of Hell: "Hit? Who the hell is going to go? Are you going?!"

Xiao Wang shivered and quickly buried his head.The big shots in the Ministry of Punishment are becoming more and more distressed. This punishment is absolutely unavoidable. You have the principles and the ability, but it is absolutely impossible not to punish. Then you are not doing official duties and disrespecting the law.What to do?What will his grandma do this time?
Zhen Shangshu shook his head, with hatred in his eyes. He put down the tea cup, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Today's incident is so bad, we can no longer condone the privilege of the Imperial Academy. We, the Ministry of Punishment, must come up with rules and regulations, and follow the rules." Severe punishment!"

Zhen Shangshu set the tone and changed the subject: "However, special events are handled specially. There have been no references to similar events before. Many details require us to discuss a charter as soon as possible. The laws of the empire need to be strictly enforced, and the safety of the inner sect students is also important. The most important thing. What you eat after being imprisoned is a very important detail!"

The devils of Hell suddenly realized that the look they looked at Master Shangshu could be described as worship.At that moment, everyone was in high spirits and full of vitality, and enthusiastic discussions immediately started:
"Master Yan and Master Qin are both from the north. In my opinion, we should focus on Beijing cuisine!"

"No, Mr. Situ is from the south, so Huainan cuisine should be added..."

"Should there be a fruit dessert after the meal?"

“Consider adding more pasta in the morning!”

Seeing everyone being so polite, Zhen Shangshu patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.After discussing what to eat and what to drink, we can then discuss how to live and how to call them. After the long list of arrest details is finished...then His Majesty's imperial edict will have arrived...

Zhen Shangshu looked in the direction of Taixue and smacked his lips repeatedly. There are only four gates in this sacred city. Today, there is no place for Ma to hang at the gate of Taixue. Where will he go next?He didn't dare to get into trouble with something as big as this.Whoever wants to hang up will go there!

·
There was a lot of excitement near the main entrance of Taixue. A black rope hung Ma Shangshu high and tied it to the glazed archway with the words "Civil and Military Perfection" written on it. The students formed a large group from a distance and did not even attend class. I came out to see the excitement of Master Shangshu.

Ma Shangshu's face turned the color of pig liver, and he screamed like a shrew: "You are against me! Lawless!"

Yan Qi pulled the rope under the glazed archway, and Master Ma immediately started spinning around the archway, as funny as a merry-go-round in official uniform.He took out his ears and ordered: "The man surnamed Ma still has the energy to shout. It seems that he has not been taught enough. Situ, let the minister tell you how much money he has collected over the years!"

Gongsun Ce leaned over and spoke softly: "Isn't it good? What if Mr. Ma is an innocent man?"

Ma Shangshu nodded wildly, and Yan Qi glanced at him: "Innocent people are not afraid of attracting confessions. This is the reputation of Chengquan Shangshu!"

"Stop! Stop!" Ma Shangshu shouted in horror.Unfortunately, no one here listened to his words. Situ Yi stretched out his silk thread and hooked his fingers together. Ma Shangshu suddenly became a puppet on strings and began to bring out all the wrong things done by his superiors.This minister can be said to be a good dancer and a good speaker. When he opened his mouth, he could read the palaces of the generals in the imperial capital, and then the military attachés stationed in various provinces of the empire. Hearing these famous names so thunderous that many outside students covered their ears, fearing that they would be killed. disaster.

Liu Zhongwu scribbled in his little notebook, smacking his lips as he wrote: "Hey, look at this... how much subsidy can Mr. Ma alone provide to the national treasury..."

Qin Ming was confused: "What does he want so much money for?"

"Young Master, don't you understand?" Yan Qi sneered, "Some people are mean at heart, and they want to cause trouble even when they have nothing to do. When they become a high-ranking official, they have to work hard to make money. He will never be able to use up all this money in his lifetime, right? Use it to repair your own coffin!"

Qin Ming slightly understood and said to Ma Shangshu: "That man can make a very good coffin, which may be the best coffin in the empire."

Gongsun Ce almost laughed out loud, and Ma Shangshu was so angry that blood bleeded from the corner of his mouth.This anger made him lose control for a moment, and he roared at Yan Qi: "You have the ability...you are great! You can cure me, the minister! But today you are beating the defenders of the imperial capital, and you are smashing the ones in Shenjing." Military Gate, what you are smearing with your brush is His Majesty’s face! It’s a trivial matter that I, Ma Jingyang, lose my face. Your Majesty’s face is gone, and you, Yan Qi, are really going to die!!”

Yan Qi pulled the rope and pulled Shangshu down, stepped on his back, and sneered: "If the emperor and Shenjing want to rely on you bunch of idiots to cover their appearance, then they will be really shameless. If you want to take advantage of the emperor, Are you using it as a shield? Then listen to what his decree says!"

Someone on the side cleared his throat: "The imperial edict has arrived."

The speaker came silently, like an invisible ghost.Duke Qin An of the State of Wu stood under an old locust tree, and the shadow of the tree left half a jagged black shadow on his face.

Ma Shangshu's upper and lower teeth began to chatter, and he struggled desperately to get up and salute.Qin An glanced at him, smiled and said, "No need to be more polite, just listen."

He took out a scroll from his sleeve, shook it open, and read: "To protect the fortune from heaven, the Red Emperor issued an edict: Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. Therefore, a strong army will lead to strength. If a mighty country has a weak army, it will lead to decline. The farce in Shenjing today is so bizarre, and the rampant students are just superficial. The essence is that the army is undisciplined, the officials are stupid, and the generals are incompetent. The left and right guards are originally the sword and shield of Shenjing. Today The original shape is revealed, but it is just a cyst, how sad!
The Ministry of War and the imperial guards were extremely incompetent, and the corpses were left bare, so they focused on disposal and made immediate rectifications.The students of Taixue have no respect for the law and act arrogantly.They were forced to write a self-reflection book of [-] words and submit it within a week. "

Qin An slowly put away the scroll and looked at the minister underground and the students around him.Liu Zhongwu, with sharp eyes, quickly took the lead in saluting and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhongwu obeys your order!"

For a while, the voices of "Zunzhi" sounded one after another, only Yan Qi said "oh" without any yin or yang.Qin An did not argue with him, but looked at Ma Shangshu who was struck by lightning, and said warmly: "Your Majesty still has an oral message, and he asked me to convey it to you on your behalf."

Ma Shangshu stood up desperately. He just wanted to grab Qin An's sleeve. He was as crazy as a traveler who saw an oasis in the desert: "Your Majesty, he——"

Qin An cleared his throat and imitated the tone of a nobleman in the palace:

"I sometimes hate the word 'Your Majesty'. It seems that in this imperial capital, all stupid things can become supreme as long as 'Your Majesty' is mentioned... It seems that some people without brains will think that I am in the palace. There are deaf and blind people inside, who know nothing about everything happening outside... They will think that their faces are my face, and that their incompetence and stupidity are my incompetence and stupidity.

I don’t want to hear such ignorant talk again. I don’t want to hear it today, and I don’t want it even more in the future... I don’t want it even more! "

The oasis in Ma Shangshu's eyes turned into a mirage and disappeared. He knelt down on the ground with a plop, and there was a "gurgle" in his throat.Qin An never looked at the minister again. He waved helplessly to the five inner disciples: "Remember to write a review. Qin Ming, please write [-] words for me."

Qin Ming waited for Mr. Qin to leave before saying "Huh?" blankly.Yan Qi laughed and walked towards the gate of Taixue. Gongsun Ce carefully walked around the minister on the ground and asked, "Why are you doing this? Are you not going to write a self-criticism?" Yan Qi put his black clothes on his shoulders and said, "Write What a damn review, go have a drink after the fight!"

·
If you say you're going to drink, you'll actually go drink. Even if it's past lunch time and it's not yet time to admire the moon at night, you still have to find a place to have a couple of drinks.

Shenjing City is very big, and there are always places where you can drink.Not only is there wine, it’s cheap and good wine; not only is there good wine, but there are also peanuts, beef with soy sauce, edamame, and a table full of delicious dishes to go with wine; it’s a pity that there are so few good wine shops like this. The pentagonal wine table was set up enough for five students to sit on, so Gongsun Ce had no choice but to sit at the corner of the table with a not-so-good matza.

"This student deserves it. How unbecoming is he to spend most of the day away from class fighting and drinking outside." Gongsun Ce sighed, "One more drink."

"You still drink without grace? I'm not afraid of drinking you to death!"

Although Yan Qi said this, he also raised his hand to pour him a glass of warm wine.The five people raised their glasses and drank happily.Liu Zhongwu wiped his mouth and smiled happily: "After this scene, you, Yan Qi, have become a hero of the Imperial Academy. Every one of the outer students will admire and worship you."

"I don't care." Yan Qi said lightly.

Situ Yi smiled half-heartedly: "I'm trying to stand out for the outside world, why can't I see my best friend happy?"

Qin Ming ordered a piece of fried rice, a plate of elbows, and a roast chicken, and was eating it with great enjoyment: "Yanqi him... Bah, bah, bah... look down on... bah..."

Gongsun Ce couldn't bear to look at him: "Don't talk until you finish eating!"

Qin Min swallowed the food and used chopsticks to light the remaining chicken bones and pork bones on the plate: "Yan Qi looked down on those instructors. He hated those people who bullied the weak and bullied the weak, so he called them dogs. But they were too foreign. He also looked down on the students of the sect, because those people only knew how to endure when they were bullied. When he heard that the instructors were from the left and right guards and not from the Yaoguang Guard, he had the idea of ​​resisting..."

Qin Ming brought the two bones together: "But whether you should resist when you are bullied has nothing to do with who is on the other side? They care so much about the identity of the coach because they are also bullies."

Liu Zhongwu grabbed the plate, threw the bones into the trash can, and sighed: "Master Qin, please don't express your opinions. You are the eldest son of the Qin family in the imperial capital. Your family has a big business and you don't have to worry about food and drink. Then Even if my family is rich and powerful, I don’t have such power. If I lose my job because of my own impulse, what should I do if I lose my job and bring disaster to the fish in the pond?”

Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "Fight with them."

"If everyone had your ability, the world would be much simpler." Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Let's talk about something else. Do you think we are indirectly helping His Majesty this time?"

"The emperor is just waiting for this time." Yan Qi sneered, "Do you know why these idiots are so rampant?"

Gongsun Ce pondered for a moment: "The secret war has been going on for ten years, and the power of the radicals has increased significantly?"

"Yes, those generals and soldiers in peacetime are not even bullshit. The years of continuous war have made them more arrogant and distracted. They even started to care about things other than the military camp. Look at that bullshit. Minister, what does he rely on to climb up to the position of the court with nothing but food and wine? It's the momentum of the war!" Yan Qi said, "But these idiots can't imagine that the emperor's patience has limits. How can Lao Zhang tolerate these people? The leader is from Taixue, and Lao Qin can watch the people on the left and right guard using his own brand, so it’s not like the emperor is counting on us to be the leader for him!"

Liu Zhongwu was startled: "Oh! Don't dare to say nonsense!"

"You're afraid of having the doors of the left and right guards smashed down." Yan Qi dismissed it, "That's why I'm so troublesome now that I'm a student. When I enter the court in the future, I'll get rid of all these losers in a minute."

Gongsun Ce was really surprised: "Yan Qi, you are a bad painter and you still want to be an official?"

"I am the smartest man in the world. If I am not an official, who deserves to be an official?" Yan Qi said proudly, "Not only do I want to be an official, but I also want to be a high official. I want to be a first-class official, one of the three nobles, and become the best in the world. Character. We must wipe out the long-standing malpractices of the imperial court, quell the war between the two countries, return the world to a bright future, and ensure peace in the world!"

The remaining wine in Yan Qi's cup stirred with his heroic words. He was wearing simple black clothes and drinking cheap bad wine, but his momentum was so majestic that he seemed to be able to swallow mountains and rivers.Such ridiculous and overestimating words are surprisingly convincing in his mouth. Everyone who knows him believes that this man can realize his arrogant words, even if he is not a world-creating magician, there will be no problem.

"As expected of a student from the inner sect of Taixue, he is really proud!" Gongsun Ce gave a thumbs up, "I don't have so many grand ideals. I have been exhausted from running errands for the imperial court in the past few years, so I plan to live a stable life after graduation. Little days..."

"Gongsun Ce, with your abilities, it may be difficult for you to live a stable life." Liu Zhongwu said, "I, an ordinary person, have a good chance of finding a leisurely official position."

When the four of them heard this, they all smiled at him. Yan Qi laughed and scolded: "You want to have some leisure after becoming an official? You fat man was born to work hard!"

Gongsun Ce thought of what Mr. Liu would look like in the future, and couldn't help but sigh that Yan Qi really had a discerning eye for people.When he saw Situ Yi waiting expectantly, he refused to ask him about his ambitions. Instead, he turned to Qin Ming, who was busy eating, "Where are you, Qin Ming? What do you want to do in the future?"

"Well..." Qin Ming looked up from his rice bowl, "I have no idea."

"Have you never thought about it at all?" Gongsun Ce was surprised.

"What I'm going to do has been decided a long time ago, so I don't need to think about it anymore," Qin Ming said.

He looked across the window of the wine shop and looked at the birds resting on the treetops.The gray sparrow fluttered its wings and jumped up, flying towards the ray of clear sky exposed in the thick clouds.Qin Ming's eyes followed the sparrow to a far away place.

Gongsun Ce wanted to dig deeper, but Situ Yi grabbed his sleeve by the side.

"With the family mission in hand, how can I have a personal future?" Situ Yi said.

Gongsun Ce was stunned: "Qin has arranged the future for him? Mr. Qin doesn't look like such an unenlightened person..."

"Some things have nothing to do with being open-minded or not." Liu Zhongwu whispered, "Qin Ming... is the Qin family of the imperial capital after all."

Gongsun Ce didn't quite understand the meaning of his friend's words, and it seemed inconvenient to delve into it at the moment.He quietly put his telekinesis into his pocket to observe the pointer, and was stunned for a moment.

The historical needle, which was tilted towards the positive side, silently tilted towards the negative direction.
