Dragon's Origin

Chapter 562: Adding Fuel to the Fire (Part 2)

After seeing off the old assassin, Wang Sheng went to find Old Taoist Ling Xu.

"What is it?" The old Taoist was pondering the Tai Chi mental cultivation method, truly practicing what he preached. Seeing Wang Sheng enter, he lazily raised his eyelids and asked.

Wang Sheng didn't hide anything and told him everything he had discussed with the old assassin.

"Waiting for my opinion?" The old Taoist asked while waving his arms and performing some boxing stances.

"Yeah!" Wang Sheng responded, acknowledging the question.

"What kind of opinion could I possibly have?" The old Taoist retorted directly, "They're asking for death themselves, wouldn't you send them on their way? Why ask me? It's not my gold coins."

Wang Sheng chuckled, "They're not mine either, it's the Xia family buying their own tickets and methods with gold coins."

The old Taoist rolled his eyes at Wang Sheng again. This guy, taking other people's gold coins to offer bounties on others, it's only because Wang Sheng is too lazy to compete in the imperial court or the Laojun Temple, otherwise, this thick-skinned and dark-hearted fellow could definitely rise to a high position.

The old Taoist knew about the Xia family's plot against A'Qi's younger brother. He didn't have a good impression of the Xia family either. If Wang Sheng was willing to cause trouble, then let him cause trouble. Besides, the old Taoist didn't just dislike the Xia family, he disliked all the vassal states.

"Old Taoist, make a move secretly!" Wang Sheng suddenly said to the old Taoist.

"Kill who?" The old Taoist asked without even raising his eyelids.

"Not killing anyone, just stir up some trouble." Wang Sheng said casually, "The three old eunuchs went out to handle affairs, causing quite a stir. If there's no noise in the capital, people might suspect something in the end."

"Want to stir up some trouble in the capital?" The old Taoist raised his head, looked at Wang Sheng, and smiled, "Are you planning to make a scene in the imperial palace, or somewhere else?"

"Our place." Wang Sheng reached out and started pushing hands with the old Taoist, pushing while saying, "Make some noise at Master Yu and the others' place, and then slightly damage the Royal Grand Theater, just enough not to affect the performance."

"Okay!" The old Taoist agreed and continued pushing hands with Wang Sheng.

That night, news spread from the Changsheng Duke's mansion that a group of people tried to attack the grandmaster musicians, but were repelled by the grandmaster musicians and the guards of the Duke's mansion. Three grandmasters suffered minor injuries, and several courtyards in the Changsheng Duke's mansion were damaged.

Before the commotion at the Changsheng Duke's mansion subsided, news came from outside that someone had also caused damage at the Royal Grand Theater, but the guarding Imperial Guards discovered it in time, preventing any major losses. However, a corner of the roof was also collapsed, which, while not affecting the performance, was unsightly.

The next morning, the Emperor received the news. Although Wang Sheng hadn't informed the Emperor, the Emperor instantly saw through the mystery.

Immediately, the Emperor pretended to be furious and summoned the representatives of the various vassal states in the capital. In the place where the court officials usually discussed matters, he suppressed his anger and explained the matter, then closed the door, trapping a group of representatives in the hall.

"Discuss!" The Emperor's original words: "Discuss and come to a conclusion, which family did it, what do they want to do? Do they still want to come to the capital to listen to concerts in the future? If this continues, even I won't be able to live in peace, who would dare to come?"

Attacking those grandmasters at the Changsheng Duke's mansion, what else could they want to do? Either they wanted to plunder and take the grandmasters away, or they wanted to injure them and prevent the grandmaster's concert from taking place. What other possibilities could there be?

As for attacking the Royal Grand Theater, it was clearly to prevent the concert from taking place. If the two were combined, a conclusion could be reached.

Who is most unwilling to see the various parties increase their strength? It seems that besides Baoqing Yutang and the Shanyue Kingdom, there could be no other choice. Every family can get tickets from Wang Sheng, and every family can cultivate their own experts. If they are still unhappy with this, then it would truly be a wonder of the world.

Therefore, the only possibility is that the Shanyue Kingdom wants to sabotage this performance, or even permanently destroy the opportunity for performances. Because the grandmaster's concert has always been the strongest place to cultivate experts, with thousands of experts breaking through at once. Baoqing Yutang has no chance, and with the ebb and flow, Baoqing Yutang will become weaker and weaker. Therefore, only they have the motive and ability to sabotage the concert.

The participants were all representatives of the various vassal states. Even if this matter was done by the various vassal states, they could only push it onto the Shanyue Kingdom. Who told the Shanyue Kingdom not to send a representative? Everyone tacitly agreed to pin the blame on the Shanyue Kingdom. Anyway, the Shanyue Kingdom attacked the Tang Kingdom, and they will have no future.

After the various parties indignantly denounced the Shanyue Kingdom, the Emperor took the opportunity to propose again that no one should use force in the capital.

This time, no one had any objections. If they really fought in the capital, it would probably be impossible to do anything. So everyone was there, and they reached an agreement with the Emperor in this hall that no one could use force in the capital. Anyone who violated this would be punished by everyone in the world.

The rules were even comparable to the inner city of Worry-Free City. At least in the outer city of Worry-Free City, some people dared to take action. In the capital, as long as they were within the city, whoever took action would die, and all the major families and the royal family would pursue and kill them together.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

In the past, everyone in the capital tacitly agreed not to take action, but it was just a small tacit agreement. If they really took action, what could anyone do? Could the royal family sanction them?

Now it's different, whoever dares to take action will die. Not only can the royal family take action to sanction them, but even the people of the various vassal states will help when they see it. It can be said that the capital has become another inner city of Worry-Free City with greater freedom.

Of course, there are also slight differences. Whether they are assassins or fugitives, as long as they can escape into Worry-Free City, they can avoid being pursued. But the capital is different, the capital cannot tolerate evil, so those being pursued must not escape to the capital, otherwise the royal family will take the initiative to capture or kill them. Perhaps this is the difference between the capital and Worry-Free City!

It only took half a day for this agreement to be finalized. The representatives of the various parties signed and confirmed the agreement, and after the meeting, the royal family announced it to the world.

It was not until all the representatives signed and confirmed the agreement that the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. The goal that the royal family had wanted to achieve for many years was being achieved step by step today. Today's events were completely led by the Emperor. The last time such a thing happened was only during the grand ceremony of enfeoffment. It is believed that the same thing will happen more and more in the future.

Thinking of Wang Sheng's words about the economic and cultural center, the Emperor's heart was filled with excitement. Seeing that these were about to become reality, and even the political center in the future was probably not a luxury. If all this could be achieved, then the royal family might as well do their best to protect Wang Sheng.
