Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 82 My second brother is invincible

A lot happened in Kyoto today.

First, His Majesty threw a glass of wine into the court in anger and dismissed 66 people from their official positions. The whole court was in an uproar and the whole world was shocked.

Later, the Shuntian Mansion of Dali Temple besieged the house in the rain, and three major sects came to visit the Crown Prince's mansion with great momentum and menace.

The former made Manchao Wenwu feel as if the cup had fallen not on the ground, but on his forehead, and everyone felt pain.

The latter is much more interesting
I was dumbfounded when I heard that Mr. Wang and Cao Shaoqing had just signed the documents to search for the government and were dismissed from their official posts.

Qingzong and Xuanzong gave in one after another. Chen Gu, the elder of the Jingzong who usually raised her neck to the sky, beat the small square table into ashes in a rage, representing the Jingzong who gave in to the most severe wave of intimidation.

Combining these two things and looking at it from the perspective of review, countless high-ranking officials and counselors in high-ranking mansions have discovered one thing.

In fact, from beginning to end
There are no three major sects to choose from.

They have been in a dilemma since the death of their outer deacon.

If they don't move, their prestige will be damaged, their reputation will be irreparable, and even basic safety will not be guaranteed. Who will dare to do things for them in the future?

But as soon as he makes a move, His Majesty will break the good tacit understanding that seems to have been formed with the three major sects over the years, waiting for all the power to help them surface, and then hang them all up and whip them.

What is horrifying to think about is that the so-called tacit understanding may have been deliberately cultivated by His Majesty for the three major sects over the years. They have been waiting for this moment, and even most of the officials in the court have developed inertia.

This is a typical conspiracy.

Those who fall into the trap have only two options, miserable or very miserable.

Unfortunately, the choice of the three major sects that were moved was wrong. Now it looks very miserable, and it may be even worse, because His Majesty can completely use the topic to his advantage.

It's just not yet known whether it is light or serious, whether it is just a matter of time, or whether it is a bloody incident.

Everyone is more inclined to stop there, because a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the three major sects are really forced into a desperate situation, their thousands of years of foundation cannot be underestimated.

In short, although it is still raining in Kyoto, in the hearts of many people, the real rain has not yet hit. The current situation is quite similar to the imminent rain.

In this matter, of course, there are two people who are worthy of attention.

One is the little Sizhi of Shuntian Prefecture who was mentioned by His Majesty in the main hall. Cui Zhi is very good at swearing. I think he will soon rise to the top of the high-hanging temple.

The other one is notorious and has never stopped after entering Kyoto. Now the most popular man in Huaihe, the third prince of Dangbei Palace who conquers the great wilderness.
It no longer matters whether the daring prince killed the outer deacons of the three major sects.

The important thing is that what everyone wants to know is whether he is His Majesty's chess piece or whether His Majesty moves because of him. There is a big difference between the two.

Most people prefer the former.

Because since His Majesty ascended the throne, his will has never been changed by people or things. It is not a trivial matter to move the three major sects. His Majesty must have had a plan in advance and felt that the time was ripe. Everything was just smooth sailing.

In fact, this should be the case.

However, whether it is a real big shot in Zhou Tian, ​​a counselor from a high-ranking family who has paid a lot of money, or an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years based on his feeling and intuition.

They all seem to be obsessed with seeing the future clearly, grasping the context, and riding the wind.

But no one looked back. In fact, the reason for all this——

It’s just that twelve ordinary women, whose lives were as cheap as dust, died in the city of Kyoto where they shouldn’t have died.

It was just that a young man met another young man when he was desperate for justice and gave him two kilograms of eggs.

Therefore, no matter whether this matter has grown from a small matter to a big one, it has become an opportunity for Zhou Tian Shengjun to take action against the three major sects, and it has become a political whirlpool in the current court that can involve countless lives.

The matter itself was actually very simple for Cui Zhi, who initiated all this.

He will not care about how many people in the court have lost their jobs and hats today, whether the elders of the three major sects have lowered their heads and gone back to the mountain gate, what changes will happen to the court in the future, and whether the three major sects will fight back.
None of this mattered to him, as long as he knew that Zhao Chengfeng would be fine after causing a big trouble by accepting his two kilograms of eggs.

So even though his face was still swollen and he was soaked in water, he still laughed out loud when he saw that the Third Prince was fine, and pulled him out no matter what.

Maybe he was curious about the 'friend' Zhao Chengfeng mentioned who didn't look very smart.
Or maybe it's because the beginning of these things to this day all started because of 'him'.

In short, the little princess Wei Huanchu also got on the carriage and followed the two of them to Pingfang, the poorest place in Kyoto.The carriage stopped in front of a remote and muddy row of narrow houses. After Zhao Chengfeng firmly objected to getting off, Cui Zhi had no choice but to knock on the door alone.

So, the third prince and the young princess in the car saw an old woman opening the door. When she saw Cui Zhi, she covered the lower half of her face with her hands, and her cloudy eyes showed a look of anticipation and anticipation. A complicated expression that I didn’t dare to expect.

Zhao Chengfeng doesn't know now that she is the owner of those two kilograms of eggs, Mrs. Wu.

He just saw the way she looked at Cui Zhi and felt that it was a wise choice for him not to go in.

After Cui Zhi followed her in the light rain, Zhao Chengfeng in the carriage said firmly: "Cui Zhi must be the person you say will die the fastest."

After hearing this, Wei Huanchu asked: "Then you still make friends with him?"

Zhao Chengfeng sighed: "Bad fate."

Wei Huanchu didn't reply, but was lost in thought looking at the shabby narrow house door in the light rain.

And not long after, the door opened again.

I don’t know what Cui Zhi said to the old woman, but the old woman’s eyes were red when she came out to see them off.

The two said goodbye, but before leaving, Cui Zhi called out: "The third prince."

Zhao Chengfeng stuck his head out of the car window and saw the old woman beside him hunched over in the drizzle, with tears in her eyes, she nodded slightly to him and said, "Thank you."

But the rain was too loud and her voice was too soft. Zhao Chengfeng pretended that he didn't hear her, but the nod was obviously visible, so he nodded slightly as a response.

So, in the drizzle, Cui Zhi said goodbye and got into the carriage.

When the carriage turned a street.

Zhao Chengfeng then asked, "What did you say?"

Cui Zhi said: "I told you everything, tell the truth."

"What truth?"

"Although there is no evidence, three of the four murderers of her daughter are dead, and I promise her that I will kill the other one with my own hands for her in the future."

There was silence in the car, except for the sound of rain outside.

After a while, Zhao Chengfeng asked: "Can she accept it?"

Cui Zhi responded: "It's better than losing my daughter and not knowing anything from now on, not having any news at all."

Wei Huanchu sighed: "Sometimes people need to think about it. If you say this, she will definitely tell herself to live until the day you kill the last murderer."

Cui Zhi nodded heavily: "Yes."

Zhao Chengfeng: "But you didn't say there was another one."

Cui Zhi was silent, and the carriage was stuffy. There were five murderers. The reason why he didn't mention the Third Prince of Dahuang was that he knew that he might not be able to kill him in this life, because he was already gone.

Zhao Chengfeng said at this time: "Actually... the third prince of Dahuang may not die."

Cui Zhi raised his head, and immediately calculated in his mind how many days it had been since the third prince left the capital, and came to a conclusion: "If he knows that he has a grudge against you, he will definitely not go to Beizhou, but from Zhongzhou to Menting Pass." Let’s go, count the days, it’s almost time to leave seclusion in the next two days.”

"So, it depends on luck. I took a gamble."

Cui Zhi was a little dazed: "But if he escapes Manting, who is in charge of the king of Guan, he should have many experts around him, and there will be support from the tribes of Dahuang."

Zhao Chengfeng waved his hand and said indifferently: "My second brother went there."

Cui Zhi didn't react for a while. After all, before he met Zhao Chengfeng, Prince Dangbei's palace was too far away from him: "Your second brother?"

Zhao Chengfeng's confident and proud voice echoed throughout the carriage: "My second brother, I am invincible in the world."
