Gou Chen obviously discovered this fatal thing. Even though he was in severe pain as Lin Fengjin ate away the demonic energy above his head, he still braced himself, opened his mouth, and then bit his left hand hard.
On the ring finger and little finger, he bit it off with a "click" sound, and then chewed it hard with his teeth. The sound of the broken bones of the fingers could be heard clearly, which shows that this is also a cruel person.
Gou Chen chewed a few mouthfuls, chewing his two fingers into blood and flesh juice, and then spat it out with a "pop" sound. At the same time, he made a magic move with his intact right hand, and saw the blood and flesh juice spurting out.
It actually took the initiative to fly towards the corroded wound of the demon puppet. It kept squirming, and it seemed that it was being repaired.
After less than five or six breaths, Gou Chen's whole body suddenly stiffened, and he screamed in despair. The demon puppet that was dragging him also howled. He lost his balance and hit the stone next to him, running at high speed.
There was a sudden movement at the bottom of the line, and his neck was suddenly broken, revealing the bright red flesh and blood inside, as well as the bones made of a mixture of metal and wood. He twitched a few times and stopped moving.
Gou Chen was hit by this collision and was thrown away. He was originally a dwarf with both legs broken. After he was thrown out, he became even thinner and curled up into a ball. Lin Fengjin walked over slowly.
, seeing Gouchen's chest rising and falling rapidly, black blood dripping from his facial features, he was still muttering:
"Dragon Qi...you actually have dragon Qi to protect your body! No wonder my demon puppet was destroyed under your hands. It is not an enemy at all!"
Lin Fengjin said calmly:
"So you didn't lose unfairly at all."
Gou Chen smiled miserably and said:
"It's hateful, it's hateful. Our Holy Bone Envoy turned out to be a fool who failed to achieve anything but failed. He even fell into the hands of your government. If this mistake hadn't been made, the three monarchs would have been buried in heaven and the energy of the Central Plains would have declined...
.The art of eating truth will be perfected, and you will all die!!!"
Lin Fengjin frowned. Just as he was about to ask, he saw that Gou Chen had already laughed and bit off his tongue and died. As soon as he died, the dense demonic energy on his head that he had worked hard to cultivate was wiped out by Lin Fengjin's demon life.
Luck was completely swallowed up, just as easily as it was before when it swallowed up those giant snakes with incomplete souls in the corpse-burning mountain.
Next, Lin Fengjin searched Gouchen's body, but only found some strange materials, which were probably used to refine the demon puppet. However, there was nothing gained after that. When he returned,
, and found that the faceless man Ju Tu had also collapsed on the ground. The bones in his body were probably broken by 30%. This was the price of being forced to compete head-on with the wild boar, but this guy's vitality was also really tenacious.
He's still not dead at this point.
It is worth mentioning that his giant blood-red claw has been completely chopped off. The armored beast Sirius is turning over and over to study this thing, probably thinking about how to install it on himself. Lin Fengjin
It is estimated that the essence of that ball of disaster energy should be similar to the material undergoing nuclear fission, but there is no danger of nuclear radiation. Therefore, it can be used as a power source.
At this time, the wild boar came over with a big smile and said:
"It's great, it's great, I haven't had such a comfortable fight in a long time."
Then he looked at the faceless man Ju Tu who was lying limply on the ground and said:
"Master, this guy is still very stubborn. Should we spare his life, or let him pay the debt?"
When Gouchen said the word "demon star" before, he said it from several miles away. Jutu, the faceless man, couldn't hear it. So it was okay to keep him alive. Besides, these demon worshipers
The motives of the believers coming to Yedu and the whereabouts of the Holy Bone Messengers and the like must be clarified.
For the public, Lin Fengjin had already received his order in front of Lu Yu, and he always wanted to do this well and get to the bottom of it. For the private, this case happened in Yedu.
It was Lin Fengjin's father-in-law's turn to do something right.
More importantly, Lin Fengjin had some suspicion that this incident was related to the terrifying existence he released in the bottomless cave of Yunwu Mountain. The piece of bone he obtained might be the remains of this ancient monster. Lin
Feng Jin had no intention of looking back when he went to get the treasure, but if he had the chance to make up for it, he would have no choice but to do so.
Although the ancient monster is tyrannical, behind Lin Fengjin is the overwhelming power of the entire Northern Qi Dynasty. Lin Fengjin's personal strength may not be worth mentioning in front of the ancient monster, but in front of the power of the country
, personal power is also scabies and leprosy.
Not to mention anything else, they just dispatched three thousand snake-eating armies. No matter what ancient demon you want, the eternal beasts will have to flee. Once they are surrounded, they will die. Even the terrifying Snake God in the Burning Corpse Mountain.
, you also have to stay away.
After delaying here for a while, reinforcements naturally arrived one after another. Only then did Lin Fengjin realize that the rest of the people in Yedu were not just freeloaders, and the demons who rushed out of Zhang Guogong's mansion were at least damaged.
One-third of the number was broken, and four or five people were captured alive, but the people of Yedu also suffered.
In particular, there was a demon who was good at catching insects. He was the one who used insects to kill people every day. After he was trapped, he used a knife to cut open his belly. Inside, there were actually two flesh-and-blood insect nests as big as the mouth of a bowl.
Like a bee nest, hundreds of ferocious demonic insects flew out from it and flew away in all directions. They were highly venomous, not inferior to venomous snakes, and had steel teeth and iron armor on the outside. They could not be killed by sticks, but could only be burned with fire. The people of Yedu were therefore
Five to six hundred people died tragically, and there are still seven or eight demonic insects escaping outside. Li Zheng Baojia is preaching from house to house, and if they encounter them, they will be burned with torches.
Lin Fengjin was surprised after hearing this, but he was not too worried, because he had already prepared for a rainy day. He first hired Lao Lan and others to guard his home, and there was Heisan in the prefect's Yamen, so he thought it would not be a problem.
So he escorted the faceless man Ju Tu whom he had captured to the magistrate's Yamen. After asking, he was a little surprised:
It turned out that Hei San, Lao Lan and others heard the news and ordered more realgar lime to be sprinkled in the house, and then they hurried out in great excitement. Why did such an abnormal thing happen? It was just because this demonic insect was the best refiner.
The materials for making poisonous insects were hard to come by. When these three people heard that hundreds of ferocious demonic insects were burned to death one by one, they were really heartbroken. They went out sighing, only looking forward to the few remaining ancestors.
Don't be burned to death, come to your own bowl quickly.
When Tuhao Jin heard about this, he flew out with great interest. Lin Fengjin asked the reason, and it turned out to be "I heard that the devil tastes very good." Lin Fengjin was stunned for a long time, and was about to tell Tuhao Jin
Be careful, don't be burned to death as a demon insect, but look at the way Tuhao Jin is flying happily. He is probably at least a mile or two away, where can he get the advice?
After Lin Fengjin returned to the prefect's yamen, he heard that his father-in-law had just recently asked someone to prepare a table of food and wine for a banquet, and then asked him to come over. Lin Fengjin naturally obeyed the order. At this time, he and Zuo
The younger sister of the Zuo family had already been engaged, so she did not treat him as an outsider. At the banquet, there were not only the father-in-law's two concubines, but also the father-in-law and his son-in-law who had a few drinks. The younger sister of the Zuo family also came and sat next to Lin Fengjin.
Hold the cup.
Lin Fengjin also knew in his heart that what he had done was probably too big, and he blatantly surrounded the Duke Zhang's mansion. After all, this was the son of the dragon. And the king is still on the throne! Regardless of this
No matter how absurd and violent Lu Xian is, he is always a descendant of Lu Kang. If there is no irrefutable evidence to prove the crime, then most of them will be the unlucky ones.
Therefore, it’s no wonder that my father-in-law probably hasn’t eaten well in the past few days, nor has he slept well. Now that the pus and blood have been squeezed out of the Zhangguo Duke’s mansion, even with precautions, several people have been killed or injured.
Hundreds of people. Once the time is ripe for them to be brewed by this group of monsters, and then they take advantage of the unprepared opportunity to attack, what kind of disaster will it be?
Magistrate Zuo has been an official for decades, so he is well aware of the powerful relationship involved. With this reason, not only is he not guilty, but he can even get a reputation as "upright"!
This thing is very valuable. If an official wants to follow the rules for promotion and seniority, the speed is very slow. Unless there are special circumstances, such as the replacement of old and new kings, and if you have to stand in the correct team, then you can get extra
Promotion, in addition to the four words "upright and upright", you can be promoted "over the top", and it is equivalent to having an extra talisman.
For example, those censors who have heard about things are very disgusting. Three people must be impeached every month, otherwise the evaluation of that month will fail. With these four words, the chance of the censor coming to trouble you will be smaller.
Much more, because impeaching an "upright" person is often equivalent to pouring dirty water on one's own face. If you are not 100% sure, the censor will stay away from you.
Precisely because he had won such a big fortune, it is natural to imagine that Zuo Zhifu was in a very good mood at this time. The previous days of frowning and sighing were completely gone. Lin Fengjin was also in a good mood at this time.
Don’t be in a hurry to interrogate the captured demon worshipers. Of course, it’s best to leave this kind of thing to experts. Those in the Punishment Department don’t know how many times they’ve done this kind of thing. They’ve long been familiar with it. As the saying goes,
Leave the matter to professionals, and Lin Fengjin can just wait for the confession. There is no need to worry too much.
***
Everything that happens in Yedu will naturally be sent to the summer resort more than a hundred miles away by speeding horses. On the surface, Lu Kang is a gentle king who can be manipulated by his ministers, but don't forget, again
A gentle tiger can also be a ferocious tiger. Once its claws and fangs are exposed, it will also get angry.
No one can predict Lu Kang's reaction accurately, because in the final analysis, no matter what kind of disaster Lu Xian causes, he is also a direct bloodline of Lu Kang. Whether it is killing or punishing, he should definitely make the decision.
Therefore, the entire Yedu is also waiting for the reaction of the king of a country, as if it is silently waiting for the torrential rain and roaring thunder when the dark clouds are pressing towards the earth. Therefore, there is even a person in Yedu
A breathtaking silence.
Of course, behind this silence, there are still undercurrents surging, and countless whirlpools are rippling. This is clearly a sign that the storm is about to come.
In a palace that was not ornately built, there were red candles burning high, and several people were divided into seniority and inferiority. Regardless of the late night, they suddenly sat upright.
One person suddenly said:
"This time, the old guy shouldn't be able to return."
A gust of wind blew from outside, and the candlelight swayed, shining on the face of the person sitting at the top. It was Lu Yu. At this time, Lu Yu's face was filled with a gloomy look, and he said slowly:
"Last time I came back from leading the army and asked him for justice, but he used a delaying tactic to wait until Tian Wu returned to the defense area. Then he deposed the prince, gave up power and took the initiative, so that I had no way to attack. The prince was also lucky.
I saved his life. This time, the old man’s most beloved son did something so outrageous, and even attracted demons in broad daylight in full view of the public. I wonder how he can get away with it!”
Wan Helin next to him said expressionlessly:
"Your Majesty, the most important thing is not how to deal with Lu Xian. It is your position."
The accompanying eunuch Cui Zhijie also showed his signature smile and said:
"Your Majesty, after our special attention, the confessions of the demon cult demons are now very clear. The rest of the information they may have provided seems unbelievable and nonsense, but the killers in the palace that that guy Lin Fengjin said are actually
It's probably true, whether it's information obtained through torture or circumstantial gossip. It all subtly corroborates his words. Even those demon worshipers don't know as well as he does!"
Cui Zhijie was a eunuch, and his smile was well tempered and extremely professional. His smile was extremely bright. But what was revealed between his lips and teeth was the serious matter of regicide, which was a bit creepy.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside. He said that someone from the Ministry of Punishment wanted to see him, and then the message came one by one, and then someone presented a confession. The confession was brought over on a gold plate covered with silk.
. They are all ordinary linen paper, which has been beaten and wrinkled. The writing on it is very scrawled and stained with a lot of blood. It was obviously recorded at the scene of torture.
Needless to say, this confession was sent by people from the Ministry of Punishment. At this time, Lu Yu could be said to be at the peak of his power. There were not too many people who wanted to hug his thigh, so this confession was not even available to the Minister of Punishment.
Seeing it, Lu Yu had already had a sneak peek.
Picking up the confession, Lu Yu read it at a glance, but when he saw the last few sentences, his eyes moved very slowly, and began to move sideways bit by bit, as if he wanted to read every word.
As if eating it into his belly, he moved half a row back after a while. But on the surface, he didn't seem to have any reaction, but in fact, gradually, the confession began to shake, which was obviously due to conflicting emotions.
To the extreme.
At this time, Wan Helin knew that it was time to launch the final blow, so he winked at Cui Zhijie. Cui Zhijie bowed his waist and slowly backed away. After a while, a beautiful young woman rushed in from outside.
, hugging a son and a daughter, not saying anything unnecessary, just hugging Lu Yu's feet and crying sadly.
No matter how hard-hearted a person is, he will turn into tenderness amid the tears of his loving wife and young son. Lu Yu has always been thinking about the relationship between father and son, but only now did he realize that he had become a father at this time.
You have to take on the responsibility of raising and caring for a pair of children.
And Lu Yu is also familiar with history books and knows that the change of emperor's position is the most cruel. If he is not careful, it will cause a bloody storm. If anything goes wrong, the night will be long and the dreams will be long, and the meat on the edge of the mouth may fly away. He or he
It doesn't matter if you die, but when you think about what happens afterward, such as your beloved wife being insulted and abused, or your young son and daughter being bullied, it will naturally be doubly painful. But what's the use of regretting it at that time?
Seeing Lu Yu's appearance, Cui Zhijie and Wan Helin exchanged glances, and then called for a secret guard. Wan Helin Yinran was already the leader of the British king's subordinates, so he said solemnly:
"Now that the news is conclusive, let's start the Jingzhe Plan."
The secret guard listened to Wan Helin's words, and then looked at Lu Yu, only to see Lu Yu sitting in the throne like a wood carving and clay sculpture, silently, as if he could not hear the affairs of the outside world at all.
The secret guard called out tentatively:
"Your Majesty?"
Lu Yu still didn't speak. However, the secret guard saw the princess nodding faintly, so he no longer hesitated. Since the king could not make up his mind not to speak and remain neutral, the princess
Naturally, he can make the decision, and Wan Helin, the head of the civil servants, has spoken, and Cui Zhijie, the head of the internal ministers, has nodded, so the matter is settled.
So, in this deep dark night, in this silent palace, an invisible string was stimulated, and the one at this end moved the whole body. As this string was touched, the whole body was moved.
In the capital, countless people and forces suddenly began to take action quickly.
These people or forces are all asked to do something at the same time. These things may be easy for them, or they may do it inexplicably. However, the seemingly ordinary things these people do are combined together.
But it will be earth-shattering, even earth-shaking!!
***
Time passed quickly, and the entire court fell into a strange state. Various matters in Yedu were also handled quickly, such as the compensation for the dead and injured, and the conviction of the demon cult.
While following the step-by-step process, everyone was very secretive about the origin of the tragedy, and there was a strange tacit understanding to avoid it, as if it didn't exist at all.
If you treat some things as if they don't exist, they really don't exist. However, if you treat some things as if they don't exist, that doesn't mean you can just ignore them.
It was as if during the court session today, a minister from the Ministry of Punishment began to tentatively ask if the case of the demon worshipper could be closed. Someone immediately jumped out and made an impassioned speech, saying that the culprit had not been investigated yet.
Why does the Ministry of Punishment care so little about human life...
Obviously, the Minister of Justice was a member of King Lu Kang. If he wanted to protect Lu Xian, he had to test the situation first. Then the person who jumped out was naturally a member of Lu Yu, and he was determined to hold on to this sore foot.
, or it is to express Lu Yu's attitude, that is, don't try to push this matter away casually!!
Of course, Lin Fengjin was not qualified to go to court, but he still heard the magistrate Zuo come back from the court and narrate the story of the incident with great excitement. The game between the two sides must have been a quarrel in the court, and in the end it was probably Lu Yu who
One side wins, because the monarch is in the summer resort, so the officials of the old dynasty are leaderless, naturally they are in a dilemma.
Zuo Zhifu was an old politician, so he made an assertion here, saying that this was actually the King of England's attempt to force the palace, because if Lu Kang really did not return in time to take charge of the overall situation, maybe his ministers would also completely reject it.
Unable to resist Lu Yu's pressure, it only took a day or two to bring Lu Xian, Duke of Zhang, to trial. This time, the King of England would probably take advantage of the situation and appoint one of his own people in the Criminal Department among the six departments.
After Lin Fengjin returned, he always felt a little uneasy, so he asked people to bring in the intelligence of recent days to look at it one by one. He also attached great importance to establishing his own intelligence network in Yedu, especially the intelligence network that was different from today's
Yes, his intelligence network is based on his own mutton soup shop and is established at the lower level, rather than taking the high-level route. This is because Lin Fengjin firmly believes in the principle of knowing autumn by looking at a leaf, and often has to mobilize some
Big things will appear from trivial things. (To be continued...)
