Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 396 The truth about the murder
"Speak the truth."

Shen Cong trembled under Ji Ren's pressure, but still gritted his teeth and persisted.

He was afraid of Ji Ren, but even more afraid of the Sima family.

Now that the situation has become established, even if Ji Ren comes back, it cannot be undone.

If he doesn't say it, he will die.

It is said that the clan was destroyed, but since Ji Ren went to Jiangnan, although he was domineering, he still followed certain rules. After all, he came from the Zhuge family and followed the rules. He should confiscate his family and exile him. This was just for the Jiangnan family. It would be a huge insult to ask them to obey the law like ordinary people.

So when he died, he didn't believe that Ji Ren would really kill his whole family regardless of age, or exile him at most.

Ji Ren frowned and wanted to take action.

"explain."

The Moon God suddenly walked out and glanced at Shen Cong. In an instant, Shen Cong's spirit was shaken and he fell into a dream. He said in a daze: "Jia Ru is missing. Lu Gonghuai, Lu Xianzhao and Lu Xianjie have surrendered to the King of Wu." , Cai Nian was placed under house arrest by Xie Wenyin in the Moon Worship Palace."

"What?" The moon god was shocked when he heard this. The moon charm can deceive people's nature and make them become demented and obey the master's orders.

With her extraordinary cultivation, she can easily deal with Shen Cong.

But she never expected that this would directly happen to her.

She had only disappeared for a short time before Xie Wenyin put a deputy palace master of the Moon Worshiping Palace under house arrest. What did she want to do?
"Is the Xie family from the Sima family?" Ji Ren looked at Shen Cong and asked.

"Yes, we follow the Xie family, and the Xie family follows the Sima family." Shen Cong said.

"Is Xie Wenyin the leader?" Moon God's beautiful face was terrifyingly gloomy at the moment.

She vaguely realized something. The holy land and women's sect she had built with her own hands might now be used to support the Sima family's rebellion.

"Yes, the deputy palace master is in charge of all this. The Moon God is devoted to cultivation and does not know how to manage palace affairs at all. Although his cultivation level is extremely high, in terms of specific matters, it is just a decoration. The actual power of the Moon Worship Palace falls in the hands of the deputy palace master. . And the deputy palace master also used the Moon Worship Palace to communicate with major families and discuss important matters.

Hearing this, Rao had already made some guesses, but the Moon God's face was still horribly ugly.

According to this, the Moon Worshiping Palace not only participated in the Sima family's rebellion, but was also the key to the Sima family's communication.

There may even be a copy of all the important information hidden in her Moon Worshiping Palace.

And she, the palace owner, knew nothing.

"Did His Majesty really die?" Ji Ren asked again.

Compared to Luna, he is an outsider and therefore calmer.

When he heard that there was a problem with the Xie family in Jingzhou, he had some suspicions in his mind.

Although the Moon God is the strongest person in the Moon Worshiping Palace, he has been in seclusion all year round, and the power is given to the two deputy palace masters. Cai Nian is alone and is not a person who likes to take care of things. Speaking of which, the power must fall into the hands of the Xie family .

And since the Moon Worshiping Palace can be controlled, how could the Sima family not make good use of the Moon Worshiping Palace, a force that has direct connections with all the major families in the south of the Yangtze River?

"He has indeed died. The body was inspected by King Wu himself." Shen Cong said blankly.

"What is the relationship between King Wu and you?" Ji Ren said.

"Most of our illegal profit-making activities in Jiangnan are mostly related to the forces under King Wu. King Wu cannot give up the forces under his command, so he can only be driven by us. And with Ji Ren's investigation, King Wu's affairs are constantly exposed He was afraid. Later, through our arrangement, His Majesty found out that he had no chance of being crowned king, so he had no choice. With the support of the Xie family, he chose to assassinate His Majesty.

"What? Zhang Jingmou?"

Zhang Jingshou, who was in a daze, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, and roared angrily, almost wanting to kill someone.

Shen Cong was slightly dazed, showing vague signs of waking up.

Luna glanced away and then became dazed again.

"So Zhang Jingmou rebelled for the throne? Now is there an edict from His Majesty passing the throne to him?" Ji Ren said.

The First Emperor passed away on a sand dune during his eastward tour. Zhao Gao issued an imperial edict and passed the throne to Hu Hai.

Now that the Emperor of Qi went south to the south of the Yangtze River and was suddenly killed and died in the south of the Yangtze River, the King of Wu could also follow the example of his predecessors and do the same. "That's right." Shen Cong said everything.

"Has Wang Chao rebelled?" Ji Ren asked again.

Although Zhang Jingmou can copy cats and tigers, Da Qi is not Qin after all.

During the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai was able to ascend the throne because Fusu was not established as the prince, and Zhao Gao controlled the jade seal. At the same time, he was conspiring with Li Si, the prime minister who was the leader of the officials at the time, so that Hu Hai could ascend the throne.

And now King Wu's foundation in the court was originally not as good as the other three princes, and now it has been damaged one after another. Not to mention the prime minister, there is not a single one of him in the six ministers.

Guangguang relied on an edict of succession whose authenticity could not be proven, and it was impossible for King Wu to ascend the throne.

Therefore, it must be certified by someone with identity.

This person must be Emperor Qi's confidant.

Tong Zhan is dead, it can only be Wang Chao.

Moreover, the death of Emperor Qi was very strange.

Emperor Qi is the king of heaven, and he is guarded by two heavenly kings, Tong Zhan and Wang Chao. Whether it is Duke Cheng of Jiangnan or Jia Ru, they are absolutely extremely loyal when Emperor Qi is alive. In this case, Qi Even if the emperor wants to die, it will be difficult.

But if Wang Chao rebels, then everything makes sense.

"I don't know." Shen Cong said blankly.

"Where is Tong Zhan's body?" Ji Ren asked. A lot can be seen from Tong Zhan's body.

Wang Chao's sword has his own unique marks.

"Tong Zhan's whereabouts are unknown and he has not been found so far," Shen Cong said.

"Didn't find it?" Ji Ren sneered when he heard this, which meant that the body could not be seen.

No need to guess, there must be something wrong with Wang Chao.

The people of the Sima family first used the Xie family in Jingzhou to drag the King of Wu into trouble, used the King of Wu to kill the Emperor of Qi, and then used the imperial edict to usurp the throne. Under the coercion of the imperial edict, Cheng Guogong had no choice, and Zhang Jingshou disappeared, and the Lu family had no choice. After finding someone to support, it was reasonable to choose to follow King Wu.

After all, they have no choice.

"Aside from Xie Wenyin, who else is strong in the Xie family?" Ji Ren asked.

"Xie Wenyin's uncle, the inheritor of Xie An's Dharma, Xie Jiefu, Xie Wenyin's younger brother, Xie Yangxia, the inheritor of Xie Xuan's Dharma." Shen Cong replied.

"The Wang family in Yangzhou only has one heavenly king, but the Xie family actually has three heavenly kings, and he is also the inheritor of Xie An and Xie Xuan's Dharma." Ji Ren couldn't help but have a cold light in his eyes when he heard this.

These two Dharma ministers were both world-famous figures during their lifetimes. It is not an exaggeration to say that they extended their lives to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Fu Jian unified the north and had many generals under his command. He led his army to the south. He claimed to have millions of soldiers and could throw a whip to cut off the flow. He was able to dominate the world and end the troubled times before his eyes. However, he encountered Xie Xuan's soldiers from the north and was beaten by Xie Xuan. Ten thousand soldiers were defeated. Not only did he fail to unify the world, but his family fortune was destroyed for many years. Large areas of territory were counterattacked by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Domestic rule was also shaken, and he was eventually killed.

Now that I think about it, the Wang family is just an abandoned son thrown out by the Sima family.

"They all went to Chang'an." Ji Ren said.

"Except for the deputy palace master who stayed to take charge of Jiangnan, everyone else has gone." Shen Cong replied.

Ji Ren nodded slightly, these people together were enough to deal with both the King of Wei and the King of Han.

According to common sense, neutral ministers like senior fellow apprentices would not intervene rashly in this situation.

Therefore, it is really possible for King Wu to ascend the throne.

And in this way, no one really cares about the Sima family's affairs.

What a way to divert trouble to the east.
