Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 26 The death of the Chief Justice, the shadow over the city of Xianyang, the black dragon weeping blood, warning the emperor!
"Huh? Bao Yun was killed?"

In the Zhangtai Hall of the Xianyang Palace, Ying Xuan was buried in his desk, dealing with mountains of bamboo slips. He couldn't help but sigh. He finally embarked on the path of the First Emperor.

However, fortunately, he has now reached the celestial realm and has cultivated himself, so the fatigue of reviewing memorials is no longer worth mentioning.

But after hearing the report from the eunuch, Ying Xuan's mind was still shaken.

He frowned, looked at the eunuch who was bowing below, and asked, "Have you found out what happened?"

"Your Majesty, this matter has been handed over to the Tingzheng and the left and right supervisors for investigation. I think there will be news soon." The eunuch in front of the emperor said respectfully.

Ying Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little deep.

The Bao family was a powerful clan in the Qin Dynasty. Their ancestral roots could be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. They were a branch clan of the royal family and had established a capital city named Bao State.

During the turbulent Spring and Autumn Period, the Bao State was destroyed and the Bao clan migrated to the city of Xianyang, where they were accepted by Emperor Zulong and became the most powerful people in the Qin Dynasty.

When the Qin cavalry swept across the world, Bao was impressed by Zulong's courage and sent his sons to the battlefield. He also donated countless family wealth to help Zulong complete the great cause of unification.

After that, the Bao family was also favored by Zulong, and the children of the family all became famous in the court.

Among them, Bao Yun, the most outstanding son of the Bao family at that time, was the Minister of Justice, one of the Nine Ministers in the Qin Dynasty.

But now, Bao Yun is dead, died in a dark alley in Xianyang city.

"The Chief Justice, who was in charge of the laws and prisons of the Qin Dynasty and was responsible for trying criminals, was actually killed in a dark alley... How ironic!" Ying Xuan said slowly.

Hearing this, the eunuch bent even lower.

The Nine Ministers of the Qin Dynasty were the highest-ranking officials under the Three Dukes.

Each of them has an extraordinary origin and possesses impressive cultivation. Even though they are not as great as the immortal gods in the Lingxiao Palace, there are few who can pose a threat to them in this human world.

And now, it is really ironic that one of the Nine Ministers, who was also the Chief Justice in charge of the judicial trials of the Qin Dynasty, was killed in an alley.

But Ying Xuan did not feel much disturbance in his heart, because Bao Yun was not his man. If he had to say, Bao Yun and the Bao family were all loyal to Zulong.

After the death of Emperor Zulong, there were still many people in the Qin Dynasty who were loyal to him and were unwilling to accept the new emperor to the throne.

These people neither conspired with Li Si, Zhao Gao and others, nor surrendered to Ying Xuan. At the same time, they did not support any prince of the Qin Dynasty. They were truly neutral.

For example, the Chief Justice Bao Yun and the Bao family behind him.

“If I remember correctly, Bao Yun had already reached the middle stage of the Xuanxian realm before he became the Minister of Justice, right?” Ying Xuan’s eyes flickered as he looked at the imperial eunuch below.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bao was previously the prefect of Myanmar Central County. He has been practicing the Bao family's skills and supernatural powers since he was young. Two years ago, he broke through to the late stage of the Xuanxian realm." The eunuch in front of the emperor replied respectfully. He was the general manager of the Xianyang Palace and was in charge of information on all officials. He knew these things best.

"In addition, the skills and magical powers of the Bao family are famous for their long-lasting breath and vitality. Lord Bao has further developed the characteristics of this skill and magical power, making it comparable to the ancestors of the Bao family, and is known as the 'immortal'!"

The imperial eunuch thought for a moment and said slowly, "To be able to kill Lord Bao so easily in Xianyang City, the cultivation level of the person who did it must be... very high!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Xuan raised his head from the desk, his eyes flickering.

Higher than the late stage of Xuanxian realm...how high is that?
The peak of Xuanxian realm?
Or...

"A great cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm!" Ying Xuan said dimly.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of great Golden Immortal Realm practitioners in the Great Qin.

And in the famous Golden Fairyland in Xianyang City, the person who cannot be avoided is Li Si!
"Do you want to say that it was Li Si who did it?" Ying Xuan looked at the eunuch in front of the emperor.

The latter had been with him since childhood and was his absolute confidant, so Ying Xuan had not concealed many things from him. "This old servant is just guessing, Your Majesty, just listen to it." The eunuch in front of the emperor bent down even lower.

If these words were to get out, I'm afraid that this eunuch would be scolded to death by all the officials.

This is not a metaphor, but a literal meaning.

After all, this is a mythological world set in a primitive background.

All the officials in the Qin Dynasty's court were well-educated, especially the censors, most of whom were from Confucian backgrounds and had a good mouth. They could make their words come true.

To say that someone is being scolded to death... is really to say someone to death with just one mouth.

"Li Si and the others should be busy taking care of themselves right now, it's impossible for them to take action at this time." Ying Xuan thought for a moment and shook his head.

Although he also suspected Li Si and Zhao Gao at the first moment, but thinking about it carefully, these two people are probably still thinking about how to deal with the Black Dragon and the Spirit Dragon of National Destiny, and it is impossible for them to take action to kill Bao Yun, the Chief Justice.

This was because the death of one of the Nine Ministers, and the man who died was the Chief Justice who was in charge of the laws and prisons of the Qin Dynasty, was bound to cause a huge sensation.

Li Si and Zhao Gao were not stupid enough to do something that would make it obvious who the murderer was at a glance.

And if we rule out the involvement of Li Si and Zhao Gao... then it means that there is a force in Xianyang City that Ying Xuan is unaware of.

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes and said after a long while: "Call Tingzheng here for me. I want to question him in person!"

"promise!"

The eunuch in front of the emperor bowed and then slowly left the hall.

Ying Xuan sat at the desk with a thoughtful look on his face. He stood up and walked outside the hall. Looking at the vast Xianyang Palace, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The nine ministers of the Great Qin were killed in an alley in the city. No matter how you look at it, this was a provocation to him, the Emperor of the Great Qin.

Moreover, it happened at a critical moment when he had just suppressed all the officials in the court not long ago.

It's hard to say if someone is not targeting him deliberately.

"But why is it Bao Yun, the Chief Justice?" A hint of doubt emerged in Ying Xuan's mind.

If one wanted to provoke him, wouldn't it be more effective to kill Feng Quji, Yao Jia and others?
Moreover, the latter are all mortals, powerless and easier to kill than practitioners like Bao Yun who are only one step away from the Golden Immortal Realm.

"Unless the other party has a reason to kill Bao Yun!"

Ying Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Tingwei...is your target the imperial prison, or the laws of the Qin Dynasty?"

……

at this time!

Even Ying Xuan did not notice that in the sky above Xianyang City, a black dragon over a thousand feet long, transformed from the nation's destiny, slowly opened its eyes!
The black dragon seemed to sense something, and a hint of disgust and vigilance appeared in its eyes!

In that world of fireworks and mortals, Heishui Xuande's luck surged!

hold head high!
But within this luck, wisps of purple-gold energy emerged, causing the black dragon to roar in frustration!

It seems to symbolize that a turbulent and unpredictable turmoil is about to come!
