After becoming the villain

Chapter 170 "Shangzhu Kingdom" and "Case of the City Defense Department"

Yan Wulu, Zhao Lingrui and others took this cart of dead bodies back.

Lanyue Building is too special.

Behind this, there is likely to be a series of extremely bad events that cannot be waited for.

And at the same time.

In a secret alley in the distance, Zhang Chunhua was dressed in a slim-fitting secret guard uniform. She watched quietly as Yan Wulu went as planned. He took Princess Zhao Lingrui of Taiping and deliberately caught the cart team of Lan Yue Lou smuggling corpses out of the city.

"Xia Xia...Xia Xia, please have mercy on me!"

Behind Zhang Chunhua, two captains of the City Defense Department who had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces were kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.

"We have followed your instructions, Heroine, and asked Lan Yuelou to deliver the corpses that need to be disposed of. If Heroine has any other instructions, we will do our best. Now, I just ask Heroine to spare the little one. Life."

The two school captains of the city defense department kept kowtowing as they spoke.

They are also one of the creators of these dead bodies.

They had already been targeted by Yan Wulu.

That day, before the third round of the martial arts examination began, Yan Wulu asked Zhang Chunhua to lead the cavalry guards and catch them on the spot.

If you have control over them, you won't be afraid of not being able to drive them.

What's more, their lives are also in the hands of Zhang Chunhua and Yan Wulu.

"Did you say before that these women were caused by people under King Jin?"

Zhang Chunhua was still watching Yan Wulu leave.

She asked lightly, as if to confirm again.

"Returning to the heroine was all done by supporters of King Jin. It was a gift from Master Qingsi."

"Yes, yes, especially high-level figures like the Commander-in-Chief of the City Defense Department, the Military Marquis of the Jinling Area Garrison, and the former Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Department."

"Both of us are just pawns, how can we be qualified to enter Lanyue Tower?"

Zhang Chunhua turned around slowly and glanced at the two groveling captains.

The two men kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to look at each other directly, as if they were worried that if they remembered each other's appearance, the other party would kill them and silence them.

"Your Majesty, I didn't tell you how to deal with you. In other words, Your Majesty didn't say that you must be killed."

Zhang Chunhua took out a cold light dagger and looked at it slowly in his hand.

When the two captains heard this, they were overjoyed for a moment and felt that they still had a chance to survive.

Raising the head is to prepare to bow again.

Just when he raised his head, a cold light flashed.

There wasn't even a trace of blood on Zhang Chunhua's dagger, and the two men's heads gradually fell off.

The blood is like a pillar, and it is long overdue.

Zhang Chunhua took a few steps back slightly. There was no blood stain on the secret guard's uniform. She took the dagger back and said to herself——

"Unfortunately, I am not ready to let you go."

Divine consciousness confirmed that the two of them would never be able to survive again.

Zhang Chunhua's figure disappeared into the darkness.

The reason why Zhang Chunhua wanted to kill them was, on the one hand, to maintain absolute confidentiality.

After all, the plan was not absolutely successful, and Jin Wang still had the power to fight back, so he had to try his best to shift his target to Yu Wang or other people, not himself and his son.

Only corpses can be kept absolutely confidential.

On the other hand, Zhang Chunhua was indeed a little angry, especially after being tortured from these two people about the disgusting habits of the City Defense Department and other supporters of King Jin.

As a woman, Zhang Chunhua cannot tolerate such people.

These two city defense captains said that they "did not participate" or were "forced to participate". Oh, their own logic couldn't be justified. How could they still hide it from Zhang Chunhua?
"Death is worthless."

……

……

The king of Jin, Zhao Lingcheng, was very brave and powerful.

Among the millions of soldiers in Daqian, the support of Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng is the most unshakable.

"General King", this honorific title, does not just mean that he can fight.

People like that, they like to support people who are similar to themselves.

The soldiers didn't care whether Zhao Lingcheng was a good emperor or not, they only knew that Zhao Lingcheng had led them to victory in battles, and they were comrades who had lived and died together.

...However, a copper coin always has two sides.

The Jinling family, the literati, and even more courtiers did not like this cold-faced and evil general king.

Qingsi, as the first staff member of Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng and the host behind Lanyue Tower, she will naturally find a way to win the support of Zhao Lingcheng's courtiers and six divisions and six departments.

So, what kind of wooing is the most convenient and quickest way?
For the vast majority of people in the world, becoming an official is just for the sake of "fame, wealth, sex, and power."

And Qingsi's subordinates have Lanyue Tower, which is the largest and most famous place of love and moon in Jinling City.

……

If there is sex trading, there will inevitably be scandals.

In Jinling City, there is no shortage of people who like exciting gameplay... or beasts.

The highest floor of Lanyue Tower is indeed noble and elegant.

But Lan Yue Tower has nine floors, and the other levels in between are full of tricks.

It is normal for a few women or a few men to die.

Just deal with it quietly.

only……

If it can't be dealt with quietly, it will be a bit troublesome.

After all, this is still a place at the feet of the emperor.

Especially Qin Shuzheng, the prime minister of the current dynasty, what he despises the most is this so-called "Goulan Listening to Music" place, and if someone dies, it will touch Qin Shuzheng's rebellion.

……

Today, Lanyue Tower received a letter of concern from the City Defense Department, saying that the doors in the northern city can be opened, allowing them to transport dead bodies out of the city for processing with almost no inspection.

"What a coincidence", the cart transporting the dead body was actually bumped into by Princess Taiping and the Prince of Zhenbei.

I heard that when Princess Taiping saw the appearance of those dead bodies, she was so frightened that her face paled and her emotions collapsed.

The big man who was escorting the cart was also captured by the Jinyi Division and imprisoned in the imperial prison. The result of the interrogation pointed to Lan Yue Tower.

These dead bodies were later examined by specialized doctors.

The result turned out to be much scarier than Yan Wulu originally imagined...

report to the top.

Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng was also shocked by this incident.

As the heir to an aristocratic family who grew up in Jinling, Qin Shuzheng was not unaware of the dirty and dirty things beneath the prosperous surface of Jinling.

Whether it's martial arts fraud or official corruption, Qin Shuzheng has always tried his best to correct this unhealthy trend.

but……

Qin Shuzheng still underestimated the darkness of human nature, which could reach such an extent.

The words "human face, animal heart, animal clothes" all echoed in Qin Shuzheng's mind at this moment.

He can't stand it!
I originally thought that Lan Yue Tower was just a place where young men from aristocratic families could hang out and listen to music and have sex with each other, but behind the scenes, it had become such an intolerable existence.

Almost at the time of the court meeting that day, Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng directly reported the matter to the emperor in front of all the courtiers.

Zhang Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was also recommended by Qin Xiang in front of His Majesty to investigate this matter.

Zhang Zheng, Mr. Zhang San, who is known as the "Fanatic Madman".

The Prime Minister of Qin recommended him to preside over this matter, which was destined to carry out a thorough eradication of the dark side of Jinling.

The old emperor Zhao Purui felt that this matter could also be investigated.

Maybe, you can help reduce the power of the aristocratic family?

Zhang Zheng was given the "Sword of Shangfang" by the emperor.

"...When encountering this sword, it is as if I am in person, and I have the right to cut first and then strike."

Zhang Zheng, the Minister of Justice, knelt down in the center of the hall and took the sword, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, with trembling hands.

With His Majesty’s support;
With the support of Prime Minister Qin;
No one can stop Zhang Zheng anymore.

……

Overnight, Jinling City seemed to be enveloped in a ray of light.

This light was extremely dazzling, as if it was enough to pierce all the darkness in an instant.

Yan Wulu didn't expect that it seemed that he no longer needed to intervene in this matter.

Zhang Zheng held the "Shangfang Sword". Under his investigation and presiding trial, starting from the arrested servants of Lanyue Tower, countless Jinling officials were dragged down one after another, most of them were supporters of the King Jin faction.

The city defense department, the garrison, and even the six families.

Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui was ecstatic. He had long been looking forward to the "giant gift from the City Defense Department" promised by Yan Wulu.

But I didn’t expect that it would be such a huge gift!
According to the current method of arresting Zhang San, the "madman within the law", after this incident, even if King Jin can save himself, he will no longer have a supporting faction to speak of.

Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui almost died laughing in the palace as he kept praising Yan Wulu.

He even made a promise to Yan Wulu——

"If the prince does not give up, the little king is willing to become brothers with different surnames. In the future, the prince ascends the throne, and you, the prince, will inherit the throne of Zhenbei. I will also grant you the title of 'Shangzhu Kingdom (1)'!"

"...You and I, brothers, are united as one, and we are invincible wherever we go. Why worry about not being successful! Why worry about the Northern Frontier not being destroyed!"

Yan Wulu's expression was a little frozen at that time, and he only thought in his heart that Zhao Lingrui was probably drunk?

After some peace and quiet, I finally pushed it aside.

"Zhao Lingrui is more than nine or nearly ten years older than me. If we really become sworn brothers, wouldn't we have to recognize him as our eldest brother?"

Yan Wulu thought to himself that he still liked being the boss.

……

Jinwang Mansion.

Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng, sitting in front of the long table, his long hair was not tied with an ancient crown at the moment, but loosened at random, looking completely different from the cold and rigid him in the past.

He tilted his head slightly, the red corners of his eyes looked like beasts devouring people, and fire seemed to burst out of his dark eyes.

Anger was burning in his chest.

He felt like his heart was almost suffocating, his lungs were exploding with rage!
"Tell me, what exactly have you done?!"

Zhao Lingcheng shouted in a low voice.

In front of him, Ji Wenyao, the commander-in-chief of the City Defense Department, a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly, was kneeling tremblingly under the main hall.

Ji Wenyao was frightened by Zhao Lingcheng's words. He was really as timid as a mouse and had grown so big in vain.

"Go back to Jin...Prince Jin, you must save the villain! The villain has done nothing!"

"Did nothing?!"

King Zhao Lingcheng of Jin said, his eyes sparkling, and he directly threw the celadon cup on the long table onto Ji Wenyao's forehead.

Ji Wenyao was beaten so hard that he screamed and fell to the ground in a miserable state.

"If you didn't do anything, would that lunatic Zhang San surround the City Defense Department's Yamen with great fanfare and specifically arrest you?!"

"Jin...Prince Jin..."

Ji Wenyao cried loudly. He, a middle-aged man, actually cried while calling King Jin.

"...Little man, little man, I occasionally went to Lanyue Tower to play a few times, and it was Master Qingsi who let the villain go before!"

Ji Wenyao said, he said timidly: "Little man, little man, I only played with forty or fifty women in total. Moreover, most of them were still breathing in the end, not all of them were killed. .”

"...His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I am very loyal to you! You must save me!"

Jin King Zhao Lingcheng heard this and grabbed his hair with one hand. He almost went crazy, "Idiot! Idiot who can even enter the [Classical Pavilion]!"

"...This Lao Shizi Lan Yue Lou!"

"...I asked Qingsi to pay attention to it a long time ago, but she just likes to do this!"

Zhao Lingcheng also no longer cared about his image as a prince, and just called himself himself in the army as before.

Zhao Lingcheng knew that at the moment when the Dongchuang incident happened, it seemed that everything could be undone.

He was also increasingly dissatisfied with Qingsi.

He had already begun to be dissatisfied with Qingsi a long time ago.

Especially in recent times, Qingsi's whereabouts have become more and more suspicious. Even after such a big event, there was no sign of anyone.

"His Royal Highness King Jin."

Next to Zhao Lingcheng, Yi Junhan, who was also a staff member, was dressed in white and continued in a low voice: "... This Ji Wenyao still needs you to deal with it first."

Seeing that King Jin was gradually losing control of his emotions, Yi Junhan also reminded him in due course.

"Right now, Zhang Zheng is arresting and examining people everywhere. Behind him is the support of His Majesty and Prime Minister Qin."

Yi Junhan continued his analysis——

"...And King Yu's side is also eyeing us."

"...It's time to wait without delay!"

Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng was a little distracted.

During this period of time, Yi Junhan helped Zhao Lingcheng decipher the schemes of King Yu and others several times, and there were already signs of taking over Qingsi's position as "the number one counselor".

Zhao Lingcheng nodded slightly.

Yi Junhan stepped forward and said to Ji Wenyao——

"Mr. General Ji, His Highness the King of Jin will never abandon his subordinates. Please return to the city defense department office first. Remember, even if Zhang Zheng comes to you in person with the 'Shang Fang Sword', you must not fear!"

"... Just insist that you are not guilty. Leave the rest to His Highness Prince Jin and Jun Han."

When Ji Wenyao heard this, he was overjoyed, as if he had taken a reassurance.

He kowtowed and said, "Ji Wenyao, thank you, King Jin, for your great kindness! Thank you, Mr. Yi, for your great kindness!"

……

Currently available information——

(1), Shangzhu Kingdom.The highest honorary title in the Daqian Dynasty, only famous ministers and generals who "supported the tide before it fell, and saved the building before it fell" were qualified to receive this title, and the position was extremely respected.

And because of the utmost respect, this title is mostly awarded to the deceased, and few ministers can be awarded the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom" while alive.

In the entire Daqian since the founding of the dynasty for a hundred years, the only person who has been conferred the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom" alive is Xiao Tianzuo, the former general of soldiers and horses.
