The so-called sticker is to paste soaked paper on the prisoner's face.

Adding it layer by layer will make the prisoner breathing more and more difficult until he is almost suffocating.

At this time, prisoners usually confess.

The jailers in the bad yamen are all veterans and can be easily operated.

The four Dongyue swordsmen were reluctant to confess at first, but as they reached the third level, these practitioners could not bear it anymore.

Top practitioners can keep their breath for a long time, but they are only ninth-grade martial arts practitioners after all, and they are not very good at breath control.

As I put it on the fifth floor, a suffocation sensation came.

The instinct of survival caused the psychological defense of four of the swordsmen to collapse and confess one after another.

"I said, I said everything."

Feng Hao then raised his hand to signal the prison guard to uncover the wet paper.

"We are from Dongyue. This time we came to Chang'an, we were ordered to create chaos and influence the holding of the Qujiang Poetry Festival."

Qujiang Poetry Festival?

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.

Before, he heard that the girl from Miaoyin Tower mentioned the emperor's sacrifice to heaven.

Does this have anything to do with Qujiang’s poems?

He turned to Feng Hao and found that the cruel and ruthless bad handsome man was also confused.

The Dongyue Kingdom has always been a thorn in the side of the Great Zhou Empire.

Emperors of all dynasties wanted to flatten this small country, but the Dongyue Kingdom could always give birth to peerless practitioners.

During the Xianlong period, there were even more geniuses like Wei Wuji.

Emperor Xianlong had some concerns, which pushed forward the "Pingyue Daquan plan" again and again.

If the Great Zhou Empire was going to hold a martial arts conference in Chang'an, it would be understandable that the Dongyue swordsmen wanted to come and do damage.

But it seems that there is no famous literary saint in the Dongyue Kingdom.

What does it have to do with the Great Zhou Empire holding a Qujiang Poetry Conference in Chang'an City?

"Why do you influence the holding of the Qujiang Poetry Festival?"

"Because this Qujiang Poetry will have different pasts, it is said that there is the shadow of Haoran Academy behind it."

A swordsman said.

"The winner is said to be able to be admitted to Haoran Academy and become a disciple of the academy."

Another swordsman added.

"The Sword Saint said that there is already a mountain captain in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there can be no more second one."

Hearing this, both Feng Hao, Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen were shocked.

You should know that although the Great Zhou Empire was prosperous in literary style, the official schools led by the Imperial College occupied the mainstream position.

Although Haoran Academy has a high status in the world, it is small in scale and there is no regularity in recruiting disciples, which depends entirely on the personal preferences of the mountain leader, so it has always remained outside the mainstream literary circle.

But this does not mean that Haoran Academy is not important.

All the literati of the Great Zhou Empire knew that Shan Chang was the saint of literature and the only strong man in the world who was above the Qingxuan Realm.

The Confucian Qingxuan realm, the Buddha's Vajra realm, the Taoist realm of inaction, the warrior's realm of military realm, and the Demonic Cult's realm of extremism are five existences that exceed the level and are also the ones closest to the heaven.

This kind of master showdown can often change a country's fortune.

So, as a warrior, the Great Sword God, who is a warrior, is afraid that the mountain leader will re-enroll his disciples?

Because in Wei Wuji's heart, he, as an "invincible person in the world", had no confidence in the victory of the mountain leader.

You should know that Haoran Academy has not opened the door to secular people for ten years, and the mountain chief has not recruited new disciples for ten years. It is rumored that scholars are of mediocre qualifications, and the mountain chief has no intention of recruiting disciples anymore.

There is only one reason why the mountain captain suddenly makes changes, that is, the Wenqu Star appears.

Wenquxing is a naturally crafty person. If he is discovered by the mountain leader and taken as a disciple and then guided him, his cultivation may improve dramatically and eventually become a strong man no less than the mountain leader.

If Wei Wuji was afraid of Haoran Academy and the mountain captain, he naturally did not want to see that he would face two powerful men like mountain captains in the future.

That's why I sent someone to Chang'an to stop the Qujiang Poetry Festival.

"But what does this have to do with the murder of Yushi He?"

Although there are some truths in this, there are still some things that don't make sense.

The most inconscionable thing about the murder of Yushi He was the most inconvenient.

"Censor He was killed?"

A Dongyue swordsman was stunned.

"How could this happen?"

Seeing this, Zhao Xun sneered: "What are you pretending now? Don't tell me that you have nothing to do with Yu Shin-Ho's death."

"Of course not, we have a cooperative relationship with Yushi He."

A swordsman said helplessly: "The Sword Saint said that the Censor He could write a letter to the court, and directly stated that the Qujiang Poetry Conference was empty talk and that it was a lot of disadvantages. Moreover, the Emperor of Great Zhou was about to worship the sky. At this critical moment, the Qujiang Poetry Conference will be held, and Haoran Academy will definitely come forward to steal the limelight. The Great Zhou court has always been disliked by Haoran Academy. We hope that this move can influence the Great Zhou court's attitude towards the Qujiang Poetry Conference."

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that something seemed to make sense.

The emperor's sacrifice to heaven is the top priority. At this time, Haoran Academy wants to steal the limelight through the Qujiang Poetry Club, but the emperor will definitely not agree. It can be foreseeable that as long as the Censor He wrote a letter, Emperor Xianlong would probably follow the flow and cancel the Qujiang Poetry Club.

As long as the poetry meeting is cancelled, the mountain leader will naturally not be able to accept disciples publicly. Although the mountain leader is a literary saint and has extremely strong cultivation, he should not be able to directly identify the position of Wenquxing from the vast sea of ​​people. He can only feel the aura of Wenquxing that has appeared recently.

He specializes in his profession, and this thing is the best charlatans of the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

A person who is so arrogant in the mountain will naturally not be able to bow his head and ask for help from the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau, so he will be the second best to select talents from the Qujiang Poetry Conference. The top scorer in the imperial examination may not necessarily be favored by the mountain and become a student of Haoran Academy, but those who write peerless poetry can definitely be looked up by the mountain.

Therefore, as long as the Qujiang Poetry Festival is affected, the threat to the sword saint Wei Wuji will be temporarily eliminated.

But if all this inference is true, it means that there is someone else who killed Yushi He.

At first, Jia Xingwen concluded that the sudden death of Censor He was the cause of a monster. Later, Zhao Xun used reasonable inference and investigation to find the Dongyue swordsman.

But it was later proved that the Dongyue swordsman was an ally of Censor He, and there was another person who killed Censor He.

Is this case too confusing?

If Zhao Xun continues to reverse this way, his heart is a little unbearable.

"I seem to have heard Yu Shi He mentioned the Demon Sect in the wine shop..."

Another Dongyue swordsman muttered.

"Everyone was drunk at that time. I thought the censor was saying drunken words. But if it was true, would this case be related to the Demon Cult?"

Demonic Cult?

Feng Hao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard these two words.

These two words are the most untold words in Chang'an City.

The Demon Sect is different from the orthodox way of practice. It is to forcefully absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth into the body.

This way of practice can greatly reduce the time of practice, and the speed of breaking through the level will become very fast, but the problem is also obvious, and the practitioner's spirit may be abnormal.

Could it be that Censor He has anything to do with the Demon Cult?

The imperial court, Haoran Academy, Demon Sect, Dongyue Jiange...

Zhao Xun felt a little confused when so many forces were entangled together.

"Okay, let's get to this today."

Feng Hao waved his hand and said, "Beat them all."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen quickly followed behind.

After leaving the prison and returning to the yamen, Feng Hao said coldly: "I am not allowed to say a word about the Demon Cult today."

Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen clasped their fists together and responded.

The Qujiang Poetry Conference will be held in one month, and it seems that Chang'an City will not be peaceful anymore.
