Outlaws start by climbing to the top of the martial arts wanted list

Chapter 296: Conspiracy is no match for violence
Chaos.

The imperial capital was in complete chaos.

At the beginning, all departments of Daqian worked together, with the cooperation of the army, to directly control the situation in the imperial capital.

But as all parties communicated privately and began to work together, the situation began to take a sharp turn for the worse and the situation began to get out of control. The many evil demons were naturally no match for the evil ones fighting alone and were easily suppressed, but they began to unite or echo each other from afar, and the situation instantly became chaotic.

The situation began to change, and Shangguan Taishi immediately received the news.

At this moment, Shangguan Mingyu stood beside his father and tried to persuade him: "Father."

"Stop it."

"Now that these evil demons and heretics have become rampant, they are not scary enough."

"The key is that if you continue to act on your own, many powerful people will start to take action."

"If their representatives also work together, the consequences will be very serious. And the most important thing is that you, father, are only one person and cannot control the court."

"You can resist the pressure from the powerful and say no to them, but what about the people below you?"

"The people who carry out your orders all have families, relatives and friends. They can't handle the pressure."

“Even if some people are willing to help you, there will definitely be people who will deliberately let you go. When all parties join forces, the chaos will get worse and worse, and it will eventually get completely out of control. At that time, this will not be a good thing for the people of the imperial capital, but a disaster instead.”

Shangguan Mingyu, who had been paying close attention to the situation, could no longer sit still after receiving the news and hurried to persuade his father.

Shangguan Taishi sneered and said, "You underestimate them too much. Those evil demons may not have enough power in the imperial capital, but they are not weak at all outside. They will not willingly accept being killed, nor will they watch their own strength being lost. They will definitely stir up momentum outside and use it to threaten the court."

"It's not just these evil heretics. Many big businessmen and dignitaries have suffered losses from the blockade of the imperial capital. They will also stir up trouble in secret and add fuel to the flames."

"They lose a lot of money if the imperial capital is closed for one day."

"They are not capable enough to stir up a big storm, but when these people work together, they will stir up a storm."

Shangguan Mingyu said in a deep voice: "Since father knew, why did he still insist on doing it?"

"Are we going to ignore the safety of the world for our own selfish interests?"

"Don't you want to be a good official?"

"To harm the people in this way is not the behavior of an evil person, and it is contrary to your aspirations."

Shangguan Taishi slowly lowered his eyelids and spoke calmly, "If you compromise once, there will be a second time."

"A saint cannot have stain."

"Have you ever seen someone who would collude with the devil for the sake of the people?"

"A saint is a saint, he would rather die in glory than live in dishonor."

"He can't do it, so he talks about justice and nobleness. He would rather die than do practical things."

"Because when he has even a little stain, he won't be the shining sun."

Looking at Shangguan Taishi who was silent with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly, Shangguan Mingyu was completely annoyed: "Father, everything you said is just one person's opinion."

"You are the one who distorted the words of the saints and made your own assumptions."

"How can a saint be so unbearable?"

Shangguan Mingyu was extremely angry. His own father was known to be well-read and a famous scholar in the world. He often lectured on scriptures and history, and always called him a sage. However, in his heart, the sage was so unbearable.

This was unacceptable to Shangguan Mingyu. It was even more shocking than his own father wanting to be a good official.

In his mind, Shangguan Taishi used to be just a hypocrite with inconsistent character who went against the words of the sages. Now he completely denies the sages, which is truly a heinous crime.

Any scholar, anyone who studies the words of sages, cannot accept these remarks.

"Without the teachings of saints, how can we govern the world?"

“It is because the saints teach sentient beings that they have etiquette and morality, know shame, understand etiquette, and know what is evil and what is good.”

An endless stream of words continuously came out of Shangguan Mingyu's mouth, but all he got in return was a chuckle.

A man full of endless charm, wearing a light robe and loose belt, walked in leisurely, looked at Shangguan Mingyu and said: "I didn't expect that Shangguan Taishi, a Confucian scum, actually gave birth to a gentleman."

"With a son like this, even if you die, Shangguan Taishi, you will be able to smile in the afterlife and your life will not be in vain."

He said to Shangguan Mingyu: "The words of the saint are right."

"But even the saints have never achieved this goal, which is to make the world free of war and disputes."

“Man is born evil.”

"Even brothers don't want the other to have a good life."

“There is nothing wrong with learning from saints, but you cannot learn to be stupid.”

"Where there is good there is bad, where there is yin there is yang, this is the way of heaven."

"That's why this world is so wonderful. There are despicable villains, as well as heroes with the courage to swallow up a world of turmoil. There are heroes with tragic stories that deserve sympathy, and there are rats who have been scolded for countless years."

"If everyone is honest and kind, then the world will be a stagnant pool. It would be fine if the world was the only one, but our world is just one of the myriad worlds."

"When bad people come to our world of good people, good people will believe their lies because they can't imagine that someone would lie. What will happen to the world then?"

"You will definitely be conquered, your relatives and friends will be killed, your wife and children will be enslaved, and you will watch all this, but you will be powerless to do anything."

"In the age of the universe, only those who are more cunning than thieves and worse than bad people can stand firm and live a more prosperous life."

Listening to the strange voice, Shangguan Taishi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person who came, his eyes flashed, and finally interrupted and said: "Zhan Tai Tianshu."

"How dare you come to my door on your own initiative."

"The imperial capital is under martial law now, searching for evil heretics like you."

Before Shangguan Taishi could finish, Zhan Tai Tianshu said with a smile: "I dare to appear here, so I am not my real self."

"He is just a disciple of my Demon God Building. I am just borrowing his body temporarily."

"If you intend to kill me, then I will give it to you to kill."

"My demonic sect has its own national conditions. It is selfish, cold-blooded and ruthless. Isn't this standard?"

When Zhan Tai Tianshu was speaking, he was looking at Shangguan Mingyu. This scene was observed by Shangguan Taishi, who waved his hand to signal Shangguan Mingyu to leave. Seeing Shangguan Mingyu's hesitation, Shangguan Taishi sighed and said:
"This owner of the Demon God Building is known for his great foresight, but not for his martial arts skills."

"But his grasp of people's hearts is unparalleled in the world, and he loves to sway people's hearts with words."

"If you drag a good family into the water, the young man will become a demon."

"You have only learned the surface of the saints' teachings. If you have more contact with Zhan Tai Tianshu, you will be influenced by him unconsciously."

"Don't have the idea that you are strong-willed and can resist all temptations. This is not just about words, but also about magic skills. If there are deliberately arranged coincidences, you will not be able to hold on."

"Go down, and don't have any involvement with him in the future, so you can protect yourself."

Zhan Tai Tianshu watched Shangguan Mingyu leave, and then he spoke again: "This time the Eighth Generation launched the Demonic Tribulation, and the various sects responded. You did something too outrageous."

"It's not easy for each family to build up their business in the imperial capital." "Not only do they have to guard against the imperial court, they also have to avoid the suppression of the righteous. It's impossible for them to be destroyed just because of you."

Shangguan Taishi said coldly: "So the eight generations played the villain, and you play the hero."

"The devil's calamity may seem to be launched with great momentum, but in fact it only has a temporary impact and is destined to be extinguished."

"And if you unleash your hidden power, you will only suffer heavy losses in the end. This is not what you want to see."

"Daqian is now in its heyday, not yet in its final years. This is not the time for you to exert your strength."

Zhan Tai Tianshu nodded calmly and said, "What the Left Prime Minister said is correct."

"If we launch it now, the profits will be too low. If the world is in chaos, after so many years of operation, if we launch it today, with the help of the right time and place, it will be enough to expand five times, ten times, or even dozens of times."

"None of the sects wanted to do this, but the imperial court would not allow them to survive, so they had no choice but to do it."

"But if the court is willing to show mercy and let us go, we are willing to lend a helping hand and tell the court the location of the Eighth Generation."

Shangguan Taishi sneered repeatedly. It was absolutely impossible for all the demons to be united. As long as the pressure was not so great as to be catastrophic, they would fight among themselves.

The demons in the imperial capital are united because it is a matter of life and death, but people like Zhan Tai and Tian Shu would rather see their eighth generation die.

Shangguan Taishi shook his head and said, "Although you are known for your ingenuity, your father is no pushover."

"The Heavenly Corpse Sect is good at playing with corpses. Who knows where the true body of the Eighth Generation is?"

"I even doubt whether it was the real body that killed Chen Wangdao this time."

"So your promise is very cheap. Besides, clearing the evil spirits in the imperial capital will benefit the world."

"I will not compromise with evil."

Zhan Tai Tianshu smiled and said, "Of course I know that the left prime minister is an honest official. In the future, he will write a book and become a saint."

"As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. If the left prime minister can be a good official, we should also be good people."

"We didn't have a choice before, but now God has given us a chance to choose again. We naturally want to be someone who contributes to the world and the country."

"Please give us a chance, Prime Minister Zuo."

Shangguan Taishi rejected it coldly: "The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he has no good intentions."

"You have already been determined, and it will never change."

"There is no need to say such words anymore."

"Your status is noble enough, so I have a conversation with you. Now I am worthy of your status as the owner of the Demon God Building."

"leave."

Zhan Tai Tianshu did not continue to entangle, but said smoothly: "Okay."

Zhan Tai Tianshu walked out of the courtyard slowly, and after leaving the mansion, he got on the carriage. He was not surprised at all by the person who had been sitting in the carriage for a long time, but spoke gently: "What's the matter, little Shangguan?"

Shangguan Mingyu looked at Zhan Tai Tianshu and said in a deep voice: "I just realized that you came here not to see my father, but to see me."

Zhan Tai Tianshu chuckled and said, "Your reaction is indeed quite slow."

"Your father knew from the beginning that what he was doing would not succeed, and you would do everything you could to stop it."

"He is such a complicated person. He wants to use this to understand his true nature, but he has no determination to fight to the end. What is the success rate of this approach?"

"Only God knows."

"Not to mention your extremely complicated father, do you know what to do?"

Shangguan Mingyu was silent for a while before he spoke: "You must stop all unusual movements."

"Especially when it comes to killing people."

Zhan Tai Tianshu nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this."

"If you can survive, who would be willing to risk their lives?"

Shangguan Mingyu continued, "The blockade of the imperial capital will be lifted soon. If we continue searching like this, we will be completely out of control."

"They are not only searching for bandits, they have also started to target good people. The better ones just ask for money, while the brave ones even dare to kill people for money."

Zhan Tai Tianshu said with a smile: "This is the result of offending the public. Instead of restraining their subordinates, each family gave them hints and even encouragement."

"Those soldiers are good people, how can you expect them to be good people?"

"They don't even need to confront your father head-on. All they need to do is twist his orders a little bit, and in the end they will get the benefits, while your father will bear all the bad reputation."

"Even though your father has been preparing for a long time, and there are many people who really want to purge the imperial capital, they are still a minority."

"There are so many people outside the mansion now. Some of them have already reacted, but most have not yet reacted, so the situation has not completely gotten out of control. When they turn searching the imperial capital into a business and can make a lot of money, even if your father comes forward, he will be powerless to save the situation."

Zhan Tai Tianshu's lips moved, and when he was about to blurt out the next sentence, Shangguan Mingyu, who was sitting upright, suddenly had his chest opened, and a slender arm stretched out from it.

A man suddenly appeared and pierced Shangguan Mingyu's chest with his hand.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the interior of the carriage was covered with blood. Zhan Tai Tianshu's cheek was also stained with blood. Blood continued to flow down and drip onto his already red clothes.

This pool of blood looked like a bright red flower, very charming.

Shangguan Mingyu's mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a word. Only blood kept spewing out of his mouth.

An arm was constantly withdrawn, and the person who came in took out a spotless white handkerchief and kept wiping his bloody palm. He smiled and said, "Brother Zhan Tai."

"I told you that year."

"Playing tricks and schemes will not work."

"It's a pity that you failed to live up to my enthusiasm and didn't do great things with me."

"As the years went by, it got worse and worse."

"Even if we are choosing a partner, we don't need Shangguan Mingyu. There are so many people who can do it."

"Forget it. I am too lazy to say more."

"Shangguan Taishi has a way out, so I will cut off his retreat."

"This world."

"It's good to be in chaos."

"And remember this humiliating moment."

"Continue to fear me, dread me, be afraid of me, and hate me"

"And please me!"
