I have a long pupil

Chapter 109

In Beichen Hall, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

On the dragon seat, sandalwood is lingering on both sides. Zhao Mian is wearing a gown robe, with an expressionless face.

The ministers bowed their heads and no one spoke.

"Report!"

A loud cry broke the dead silence.

A lieutenant general of the Royal Forest Army went up to the hall and knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said, "Chu Shiyuan has been taken down, and at the same time, there is a killing warlock who is trying to silence him, and they have all been arrested."

"Chu Shiyuan has made a confession, and what was said in the secret letter...is all true."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mian's expression turned extremely ugly.

Grand Sima Lu Wuji and Prime Minister Liu Ji looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief.

When Lu Wuji got the news, he realized that Chu Shiyuan was the key person, and immediately ordered the arrest, and at the same time sent someone to Li's mansion to check.

Just now the subordinates reported that there was no one in Li's mansion, only the body of the head of the Li family was left. Although it was suspicious, it couldn't be confirmed.

Chu Shiyuan was arrested, and he also caught the Shashengjiao demon. This matter has been settled.

Yesterday, Zhao Mian also proposed that during the winter solstice festival, Li Guiren should be formally named queen.

Thinking of this matter, Lu Wuji felt terrified, stepped out and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision!"

"I implore Your Majesty to issue an order immediately!"

Prime Minister Liu Ji and Baiguan also spoke one after another.

They are afraid of Zhao Mian's power, but unlike those local officials, their wealth and life are tied to Yujing City, so naturally they dare not pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The Killing Sect sneaked into the imperial city, let Li Guiren enter the palace, and also wooed the commander of the Jinwu Guard and the governor of the Jingzhao Mansion. He was a fool, and he knew there was a big conspiracy.

The corners of Zhao Mian's eyes trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Xiao Shen?"

Xiao Can, the commander of the imperial guards, was already in armor, guarding outside the hall, and immediately entered the hall upon hearing the words.

"Chen is here!"

"Go, surround Qionghua Palace."

"The minister leads the order!"

With an order, the forbidden army swarmed and moved towards the Qionghua Palace with a murderous look.

Prime Minister Liu Ji saw this, and said again: "Your Majesty, to be on the safe side, it's better to call Yuzhen Mansion to go with you."

Zhao Mian was silent for a moment, "Sure!"

Ling Hukui, the official censor, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Li family is a lair of demons, and they have framed Zhongliang countless times in the past. I beg you to reverse the case and investigate thoroughly, and return those officials to their innocence!"

As if an order was issued, the officials also came out one after another, some wanted to thoroughly investigate the officials, some asked to check the accounts, and some even asked to question the six doors...

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and even burst into tears.

On the Dragon Seat, Zhao Mian's eyes were gloomy, he firmly grasped the armrest, and remained silent.

He knows what these people think.

It seems to be aimed at the killing religion, but in fact it is aimed at Li Guiren and at himself.

The world fell apart, Daliang said he was withdrawing his fists and waiting for the right time, but in fact he only had the ability to control a state, and under the scenery, he was already extremely weak.

He eradicated alien bureaucrats from other places, and supported Beijing officials and generals to come to power, but at the same time he also increased his control, making the court a hall of one voice.

But how can people's desires be filled?

The ministers seem to be targeting Shashengjiao, but in fact they want to expand the matter and damage his prestige.

Maybe, at this moment, there are already people who are fueling the flames among the market, giving Li Guiren the name of Demon Concubine.

He dotes on the demon concubine, and he can't leave the title of faint king.

Zhao Mian was angry in his heart, but he knew that if he started to kill indiscriminately at this moment, the people who had managed to get together would fall apart.

In the Liang Dynasty, there will be no hope at all.

He has been in office for decades, and he has never been so aggrieved.

Zhao Mian's eyes turned black for a while, his face was expressionless, but his teeth were clenched.

"Above the court, no noise is allowed!"

Upon seeing this, Grand Sima Lu Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded, "The top priority is to arrest the Shashengjiao demon, and we will talk about other things later."

Prime Minister Liu Ji also nodded quickly, "Your Majesty will make his own decision on this matter. How can you be so noisy?"

The two spoke, and the others did not dare to say more.

Zhao Mian also regained his strength at this time. He glanced around indifferently, knowing what these people wanted, and slowly said: "The Yuzhen Mansion has obtained the secret method of the Huoluo Sect, which can train monks. After the first batch of success, all the children in Beijing can join the Yuzhen Mansion."

"In addition, each army can also select elites to train monks in the army."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

For a while, there were constant praises in the hall.

Zhao Mian was also helpless in his heart, he wanted to hold this power firmly in his hands, but now if he didn't share a piece of the pie, the dissatisfaction of all parties would accumulate, and Yujing City would never have peace.

At this moment, a guard hurried up to the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Li Guiren has hanged himself."

"what?"

Zhao Mian stood up abruptly.

Prime Minister Liu Ji secretly thought something was wrong, and hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say..."

"enough!"

Zhao Mian roared, glaring at the crowd and said: "Da Suo in Beijing, arrest the Shasheng Cult monster, I'm exhausted, let's disperse!"

After that, he turned and left.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, not saying much.

Zhao Mian agreed to open up the number of monks, which was already the biggest victory for them.

If you force it any more, it may backfire.

Just a woman, nothing more than to please people.The Sangong and Sixth Courtyards are full of pink and white, the royal family has always been ruthless, and it won't be long before new people will replace them.

Right now, it's better to go back quickly to see which of the children in the family can hold up the front and send them to Yuzhen Mansion as soon as possible.

The ministers were absent-minded and left one after another...

…………

Not long after they left, Beichen Palace became quiet, only the maids and eunuchs were left to clean it carefully.

Swish!
A young eunuch turned his head if he felt something.

"what happened?"

"I think I saw a black cat."

"Most of them are wild cats. There are many in the palace. Find a day to clean them up, so as not to alarm the emperor..."

There is no one at the back of the main hall, and Moon Shadow appears to run fast, using tricks to hide when there are many people.

Although Zhang Biao used to be a policeman from the Six Gates, he was like an ordinary person, never been to the palace, and after going around, he came to the Beichen Palace.

He could see clearly what happened in the palace.

Although I don't know much about the struggle in the court, I also know that these powerful and powerful people keep talking about killing life and religion, but they are fighting for other things.

He can't speak of disappointment,

Because don't care.

In the 300-year flashy Liang Dynasty, the upper class has already had a different way of thinking. Everyone has their own calculations, and even if the fire is imminent, they will fight for power and profit.

No matter how cruel the killing sect is, they will not cut their flesh, so how can anyone care?

However, depending on the situation, the monks in the court, like those ruled by the sect, will mostly be the children of the powerful.

Ordinary people want to get started, unless they mutate like Zhou Dalang and awaken their natural supernatural powers...

Zhang Biao manipulated Moon Shadow, hanging Emperor Zhao Mian and others from a distance, and came outside Qionghua Hall.

Below the towering Qionghua Hall, it has been completely surrounded by the forbidden army. In addition, there are monks from the Huoluo Sect, holding torches with magic tools to investigate around.

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, but did not approach.

The torch of the Fire Luo Sect can shine through the darkness, and if the moon shadow approaches rashly, the invisibility technique will fail.

After this incident, the Killing Sect's strength has been greatly reduced, and the Huo Luo Sect is probably more concerned than anyone else.

His target is still Xiao Shen, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and he must find an opportunity to use ecstasy to get the news.

Xiao Can, the commander of the imperial army, was a tall man with a full beard. He was guarding outside the palace. When he saw Zhao Mian coming, he bowed his head and cupped his hands, not knowing what to say.

Snapped!
Zhao Mian slapped him hard, and quickly entered the palace without waiting for an explanation.

Xiao Shen remained expressionless and waited in place.

Zhang Biao had no choice but to let Yueying find a secluded place and watch from afar.

Fortunately, his true energy is now strong enough to support Moon Shadow's activities for a long time...

…………

Zhao Mian hurriedly entered the hall, only to see Li Mingshu sitting on the ground with a pale face and a plain suit.

Surrounded by scattered white silk, the masters of the Forbidden Army and the monks of the Fire Luo Sect surrounded him heavily.

While Zhao Mian breathed a sigh of relief, his face became ferocious, and he said in a deep voice, "Why?"

Li Mingshu's face was calm and pale, and said: "Your Majesty, can you reject others, my concubine has something to say, and I want to talk to you alone."

Zhao Mian clenched his fists tightly and waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty must not take risks..."

Luan Moyan stopped in panic, and even Arod, who followed him, also stopped him.

"Go out, I know what to do."

Zhao Mian's eyes were firm, and after drinking away the crowd, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Ming Shu, what's your problem, have you been taken by that killing sect?"

"Tell me, and I will save your life."

Li Mingshu said calmly: "If Your Majesty protects me, how will he face the officials and the people of Yujing City?"

Zhao Mian snorted coldly, "I am the Ninth Five-Year Lord, if I can't even keep my own woman, how can I keep this great Liang Jiangshan?!"

"Your Majesty, it really is Your Majesty."

The emotion in Li Mingshu's eyes flashed away, and she slowly said: "They are right, the concubine is really from the killing sect."

"why?"

Zhao Mian's face suddenly became ugly.

What he just meant was that as long as Li Mingshu said that she was being coerced and shirked responsibility, her life could be spared.

But the other party admitted it openly, and there was no chance of redemption, so he could only be killed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mian became more and more annoyed, "You are already the head of the harem, and after the winter solstice, you will be the mother of the world. Why do you want to work for the killing sect? I really can't figure it out."

"Your Majesty, this is a battle for the Great Dao."

Li Mingshu smiled, "People in the world say that I killed and taught to bring disaster to the world, but it is really a fool's opinion."

"The wolf eats the sheep for a living. Because the sheep are weak, the wolf is wrong?"

"Your Majesty led troops into the palace to seize power, put down the rebellion of the three kings, wiped out the grasslands in the northern border, and made Daliang prosperous. Could it be that it came from kindness?"

"Which of those sects, those powerful families, who didn't win the destiny by killing?"

"To be honest, all the sects in the world are looking forward to the collapse of the Great Liang, so as to divide one side in the troubled times. Only I kill the sect to help the Great Liang."

"Originally our plan was to train monks for Daliang. The army is going to kill people anyway. If we use the killing sacrifice during the war, we can get God's help and wipe out all sides!"

"And His Majesty's Duotian Pill, Duotian Zhiming, don't you still want to kill those children?"

"With the help of my Shashengjiao, it is not impossible to restore the prosperity of Daliang."

"It depends on Your Majesty, how to choose..."

What he said made Zhao Mian's expression cloudy, but he still said in a cold voice: "It's really nonsense, it seems that you were really bewitched."

"It's still the same sentence, confess the remaining sins, and I will protect your life!"

After Li Mingshu heard this, his eyes were full of disappointment, and his voice became indifferent, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say."

"Your Majesty, I cherish myself..."

After saying that, thick smoke rose from his body, and he turned into a paper man, burning slowly.

Looking at the paper figurine, Zhao Mian felt that he was being mocked, and with a roar, he pushed the tables, chairs and utensils in the hall to pieces.

"The whole city arrests the followers of the Shasheng Cult, and I will cut them into pieces!"

Inside the Qionghua Palace, there was an angry roar.

Zhao Mian let off steam, then called Luan Moyan in, and said coldly, "Then Bai Yan is also a cultist, so send someone to arrest him!"

Luan Moyan's legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have already sent people there, and the demon Bai Yan has already escaped, but he left this thing behind."

As he spoke, he took out a blank piece of paper from his pocket.

"what is this?"

"Seizing Heaven Pill Formula."

"Burn now..."

Anger rose in Zhao Mian's heart, but suddenly he became weak. Thinking of the situation in the palace just now, he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, keep it for now."

"How's Dan Fang?"

Luan Moyan hurriedly replied: "Last time, two six-door policemen rushed in. The slave was afraid of leaking, so he found another place to settle."

Zhao Mian took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Let Xiao Shen do it, and immediately destroy the traces!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luan Moyan got the order and left in a hurry.

Looking at the empty hall and thinking of the beautiful woman in the past, Zhao Mian felt a sense of sadness, accompanied by a great sense of weakness and powerlessness.

Trembling, Zhao Mian took out the Duotian Pill from his bosom, hesitated for a while, and then slowly stuffed it into his mouth...

…………

Outside the palace, when Arod heard that Li Guiren had turned himself into a paper man and set himself on fire, his expression turned ugly.

"This is a stand-in technique. Why do you stop me? If you let me check it, will people escape?"

He was annoyed in his heart, if these people hadn't stopped him, he would have discovered something strange, maybe he could find traces and catch him.

Li Guiren's identity is not easy in the killing sect, if it is not eliminated in one fell swoop, there will be endless troubles.

Luan Moyan was also a little speechless.

These humbly monks are really ignorant, you dare to check the emperor's women randomly, you are just looking for death.

But he didn't bother to think about it, he quickly laughed and said: "Don't be angry with the god monk, it's all my subordinates, it's more important to catch the remnants of the Sect of Killing as soon as possible."

Arold had no choice but to turn around and leave with others.

After they left, Luan Moyan came to Xiao Shen's side and whispered something.

Xiao Shen nodded, immediately called more than twenty of his confidants, left the imperial city in a hurry, and headed towards the northeast side of Yujing City in the wind and snow.

What they didn't realize was that Zhang Biao was also wearing a bamboo hat, and followed closely behind...
