Chapter 108: The King of Qilin arrives! Call the king! The dragon talisman appears! Seeing the talis

Bailu Mansion.

Government office.

General Chang Fei and others knelt on the ground, declaring Gu Jinnian's victory.

Zhou He and others were extremely silent.

They knew that Gu Jinnian was so unscrupulous and acted arbitrarily.

It's all because Gu Jinnian's status is too high and they can't win.

Only King Qilin, not anyone else, can suppress Gu Jinnian.

King Qilin is a king with a different surname and a prince. No matter in terms of status or courage, Gu Jinnian cannot compare with him.

The reason why everyone couldn't suppress Gu Jinnian was simply because Gu Jinnian's status was too high.

Apart from that, there is no other reason.

So at this moment, Zhou He very much hoped that King Qilin could come soon.

As long as King Qilin comes, everything will be easy.

And in the hall.

Looking at the kneeling General Chang Fei and others, Gu Jinnian's eyes showed no pity.

These people are all arrogant soldiers.

There was no awe in their eyes, and they looked down on anyone except King Qilin.

The vassal kings were always a trouble in the Daxia Dynasty, but Emperor Yongsheng was still there, and Emperor Jiande forcibly reduced the vassals, so that each of these vassal kings weakened a lot.

Otherwise, the vassal king would have caused trouble long ago.

After kowtowing, Gu Jinnian waved his hand, and General Chang Fei and others immediately stood up and stood aside without saying a word.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"His Royal Highness."

"You hit me too."

"It's noisy."

"Just tell me what result you want."

"Why bother talking about it here?"

It was Zhou He's voice that sounded.

No matter what you say now, it's useless. It's better to just go on as Caring Jinnian wants.

What is your purpose here?

Check the eucalyptus, right?

Then check the eucalyptus.

Why keep delaying here.

Listening to Zhou He's words, Gu Jinnian also knew in his heart that there was no point in making such a fuss. What he needed to do now was to investigate.

It's just that I know this in my heart, but I don't need Zhou He to remind me.

He glanced at Zhou He.

Gu Jinnian directly threw the file on the table to Zhou He and said in a calm voice.

"OK."

"Then I will come and investigate."

"May I ask Governor Zhou? Jiangling County lost five thousand children in two years. What does Governor Zhou think about this matter?"

Gu Jinnian spoke.

Since you want to check the eucalyptus, then Gu Jinnian will check it.

After hearing this, Zhou He was obviously much calmer than before.

"His Royal Highness."

"I don't know much about this matter. The officials below concealed it a bit and didn't report it."

"Secondly, there are so many things going on in Jiangling County, and official documents pile up every day. I feel deeply guilty for the loss of the child, but His Royal Highness can go to every county and ask."

"There are many reports of missing children every day, and they are often discovered three to five days after being lost. They are either picked up by relatives or lost on their own, and the government will do their best to find them."

"But just because someone reported the case, the government can't do nothing and focus on searching the children, right?"

When Zhou He opened his mouth, he first excused himself and then gave a sophistical explanation.

"If there are one or two cases like this, I really won't argue with you."

"But the problem is that five thousand people have disappeared. This is so far. If we wait another two or three days, I'm afraid the number will reach at least seven thousand."

"So many children are missing, can't it be explained by your casual words about being busy with official duties?"

"Furthermore, the people below are hiding it. How dare they dare to hide it? What is their purpose of hiding it?"

"As the head of a county, you can't control the people below you. How dare you say that?"

Gu Jinnian asked coldly.

After hearing these questions, Zhou He was not angry, but cupped his hands.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely true."

"It was my fault that I failed in my duty, but since this matter has already happened and I am aware of it, I immediately sent people to conduct a strict investigation and at the same time, I tried my best to find the whereabouts of these children."

"Your Highness, can you calm down your anger?"

No one expected that Zhou He's answer would be this.

He was not angry or annoyed, nor did he argue with Gu Jinnian. Instead, he followed Gu Jinnian's wishes and took the initiative to admit his mistakes.

But this answer is really the best answer. After all, it can make Gu Jinnian speechless.

After all, Zhou He's meaning is very simple. I admit my mistake, what else can you say?

"Let's investigate strictly now?"

"Master Zhou, don't you think it's too late?"

Facing Zhou He's rogue tactics, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but sneered.

"His Royal Highness."

"I admit my mistake, and I will report this matter to Your Majesty. No matter what punishment Your Majesty gives me, I will never shirk it."

"A dereliction of duty is a dereliction of duty."

"But in my opinion, His Highness the Crown Prince's words are just a battle of wills. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can put the overall situation first."

"My fellow citizens, I would like to ask you, do you want to see His Royal Highness punish these lawbreakers, or do you want to find your children?"

When Zhou He spoke, he remained calm and composed, and his words were logical.

Once again, he admitted his mistake and at the same time focused the conflict entirely on finding the child, rather than holding anyone responsible.

He even took the initiative to cause people to discuss it.

Sure enough, as soon as this was said, the people couldn't help but speak one after another.

"Please, sir, look for our children."

"I beg you, sir, to find our children."

"We don't care if our children can be found. Please adults."

Suddenly, the people spoke one after another.

This is actually indirect pressure.

Zhou He's idea is very simple. Gu Jinnian cannot be allowed to control the rhythm now, he must do it.

The officials below concealed the matter and then looked for scapegoats. Because of their dereliction of duty, at worst, they would be demoted one level. What would happen even if they were dismissed from office?

After all, Gu Jinnian has made the matter a big deal, and it might just be a matter of losing his head.

If the trouble continues like this in Care Jinnian, something big will definitely happen.

And if you follow your own ideas, you can not only save your head, but also make Gu Jinnian suffer a big loss.

Hearing the people speak, Gu Jinnian immediately spoke up.

"Dear fellow villagers, my prince came to Bailu Mansion today to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Please, fellow villagers and elders, believe in me. I will definitely give you an explanation. The child must be recovered, but these officials who do nothing must also be severely punished."

Gu Jinnian spoke out to calm the people's emotions.

But before Gu Jinnian could continue to speak, Zhou He's voice sounded directly.

"Then please, His Royal Highness, let us leave, and we will immediately mobilize the government's power to carry out a search operation."

"What's the point of leaving me waiting here? One more person means more strength."

"There is nothing we can do if we waste our time here."

"Moreover, didn't General Chang Fei bring a hundred thousand cavalry? His Royal Highness has an army of two hundred thousand. If we use this force to search, I believe that everything will be found out in a short time."

"Dear citizens, does what I say make sense?"

Zhou He continued to speak, forcibly interrupting Gu Jinnian's preparations.

Now he just wants to use the people's eagerness to prevent Gu Jinnian from pursuing responsibility step by step.

In fact, smart people know this.

So many people have disappeared, some for two years, some for a year, some for half a year, and some even just a month ago.

It's only a few thousand miles away from the border.

If there really is a gang that specializes in kidnapping and selling children, and has kidnapped more than 5,000 people, or even 7,000 people, then this industry chain will be extremely mature. If someone is lost in the morning, they may be in the Huns Kingdom the next day.

This possibility is definitely not small.

Once it has been sold to the border, it is almost impossible to get it back.

As for these officials, why did they hide it?

There must be something fishy, ​​otherwise, if normal children disappear, wouldn't it be enough to report them one by one?

Even if a thousand are lost, if you report them, it will be nothing more than accusing you of incompetence and replacing you.

Maybe the superiors were unwilling and wanted to hide it, but when the number of people reached two thousand or three thousand, basically no officials would dare to hide it.

Reported and dismissed.

If you don't report it, you will die if you are discovered.

Who would take such a big risk, is there something wrong with their brains?

Even if the Lord of Bailu Mansion is really bold, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the question arises, what about the people below?

Are you a fool?

Although the superiors do not handle this matter, if the people below do not take it seriously, I have reported it anyway, and there is nothing the superiors can do about it regardless of me. In that case, they are still accomplices.

The Daxia Dynasty had clear laws. If a superior official ignored something, he could directly report it to the Six Ministries.

If you didn't report it, you would be an accomplice in the eyes of the court.

So the conclusion drawn is two points.

Either they also searched internally and found nothing.

Either this group of officials has a lot of trouble and must be involved with some people.

A huge industrial chain has been formed.

Therefore, what Zhou He said are completely false and empty remarks.

Three hundred thousand cavalry went to search, how to search? Where to search? Are there any clues?

If we really had to search based on clues, we wouldn't be able to find anything for a month.

Now Zhou He wants to use this method to delay his time. After all, the court may not know what is happening here yet.

King Qilin may not have received the news yet.

If the imperial court learns of what Gu Jinnian has done, it will be useless even if His Majesty wants to favor Gu Jinnian.

The Sixth Department will not agree.

The Duke of Zhen Guo had no choice.

Therefore, the Ministry of War will remove Gu Jinnian's military power as soon as possible, and it is very likely that Gu Jinnian will be directly sent back to Beijing to be punished. Once Gu Jinnian no longer has military power, everything will be easy to say.

Gu Jinnian without military power is like a tiger without claws and claws, they can manipulate him at will.

It's just that the imperial court took this matter seriously and sent Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Xuan Deng Department or the Town Government Department to personally interrogate him.

Apart from this, there is no other possibility.

Gu Jinnian knew that they were stalling and trying to delay time.

"Yes, an army of three hundred thousand will definitely find my daughter."

"Yes, yes, the 300,000 troops will definitely find our children. Please save us, sir."

"Sir, please save us."

The sound kept ringing.

The common people spoke one after another. When they heard that 300,000 troops were searching, they subconsciously thought that it must be effective.

After all, there are 300,000 troops.

Are you having trouble finding someone?

Ginger is indeed old and spicy.

If he agrees to Zhou He and releases the 100,000-strong army, then when King Qilin comes, the bargaining chip he has will be gone.

But if you don't agree, the people's favor towards you will gradually decrease. The reason why you can be so arrogant is partly because of your identity, and the other half is the support of the people.

This is a powerful move.

"Dear citizens, I have sent people to search."

"Furthermore, everyone should go to the establishment first. Based on the information, I will send people to search urgently."

"So as not to have a clue, right?"

Facing Zhou He's offensive, Gu Jinnian could only resort to tricks.

After he said this, Zhou He wanted to speak, but Gu Jinnian's voice directly sounded, interrupting Zhou He's next words.

"Here comes someone."

"It is reported that Zhang Ming's friends and relatives, and officials of all sizes in Pingyang County have joined the Yamen."

Gu Jinnian did not let Zhou He continue to speak, but instead led an army to directly investigate Zhang Mingyu.

As soon as this was said, some soldiers quickly left to invite people over.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with this?"

"What exactly are you here to search for? So many people's children have not been found, so why are you bringing up other rumors?"

Zhou He opened his mouth and finally seized the opportunity. Naturally, he couldn't let it go like this.

"Is it you who is here to judge the case? Or is it this prince who is judging the case?"

"Lord Zhou, why bother muddying the waters here?"

"You didn't come to investigate the case of the missing child earlier, but when this prince was dealing with the matter, you were here talking nonsense?"

Gu Jinnian was also very calm and asked directly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is speaking too harshly. I am just concerned about the whereabouts of these children."

"I didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, I can distinguish priorities."

"I don't know what Zhang Mingxi is, and I don't know clearly. But what I know is that Zhang Mingxi is just a piece of information. There are so many people waiting for a word from His Highness the Crown Prince."

"With just one word from His Highness, the 300,000-strong army can search for the missing children with all their strength."

"Even if you only find thirty, twenty, or ten in one night, it is considered a great merit."

When Zhou He spoke out, he seemed to have grasped Gu Jinnian's pain point, and kept emphasizing that he should send troops quickly, send troops quickly.

Sure enough, as Zhou He spoke up.

Other officials also responded one after another.

"Yes, His Royal Highness, you are dedicated to the people. We have heard of this. Since you are dedicated to the people, why don't you send a large army to search? Is it possible that His Royal Highness holds military power just to make a splash? Or is it just that?

Are you going to suppress me?"

"His Royal Highness, we can understand what you mean, but after all, the people are the most important. Now that you know about this matter, you should deal with it, no matter how big or small, and it must be dealt with appropriately. Please also ask Your Highness to investigate it carefully.

"

"His Royal Highness, please investigate carefully."

Suddenly, voices sounded one after another, asking Gu Jinnian to investigate closely.

It sounds like everyone is standing on the moral high ground, and everyone has turned into a great scholar at this moment.

Those who don't know better think that these people are first-class good officials.

"Your Highness, if manpower is needed, King Qilin's one hundred thousand cavalry will respond immediately to search for the missing children and bring justice to the people."

At this moment, even a man next to General Chang Fei also spoke.

Every one of them was extremely enthusiastic.

They knew that delaying Gu Jinnian's time was the best way at the moment.

To put it bluntly, General Changfei and others didn't know what Gu Jinnian wanted to investigate, and they didn't want to know.

But they were very happy to be able to disgust Gu Jinnian, which was considered as a way to vent their anger.

Suddenly got angry in front of everyone.

Gu Jinnian's face was calm. He did not answer. Instead, he looked at the people outside and spoke plausibly.

"Dear fellow villagers and elders."

"Did you hear what they said?"

"My prince is not a dictator, but I don't listen to what they say. I only ask one question."

"Do you believe in them, or do you believe in me?"

"If you fellow villagers believe them, I will immediately send 300,000 troops to search. But if there are no results, I will not be able to help you."

"If you folks believe in me, please rest assured that within seven days, I will give you an explanation."

Everyone's offensive looks indeed fierce, but so what?

Gu Jinnian now leaves this issue to the people.

If the people still believe in these people, then Gu Jinnian has nothing to say.

But if these people believe in him, then the rhythm is still in his hands, and Gu Jinnian will not let the people down.

For a while, faced with this choice, the people hesitated.

Most people still want to find their children, and they naturally hope that Gu Jinnian will send 300,000 troops to find their children.

But there are also sensible people who know that these people have bad intentions.

"Everyone, we don't know where your children are right now. If we take care of them in time, they might not be sold yet."

"Yes, fellow villagers, the search by an army of 300,000 people will definitely find out the results. You must believe in His Highness the Crown Prince and in me, the soldiers of Daxia."

"If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone next time. We have an army of 300,000 people. This is not as simple as one or two thousand people."

"The entire Bailu Mansion only has 20,000 garrison troops. With a force of 300,000 troops, we will definitely be able to find your children."

Officials spoke one after another, trying to incite the people to choose them.

But at this moment.

A voice sounded.

"Everyone, please don't be fooled. This official of Bailu Mansion is rotten to the core."

"How many times have we reported this in the past two years? Have they taken care of it?"

"They don't care about our life or death. They also conceal the information and put us and other people in dire straits. They don't care. Now, after a lot of effort, His Highness the Crown Prince has come to redress our grievances. We shouldn't believe them."

Someone spoke up. It was an old farmer. He was holding farm tools. He originally planned to plow the fields, but he came over when he saw the excitement.

Although he had been watching the excitement, at the critical moment, he was the first to wake up.

As the old farmer spoke, another voice immediately sounded.

"Dear fellow villagers, I have heard that His Highness, the Crown Prince, redressed the injustice for the people of Jiangning County, killed profiteers, and punished corrupt officials. He was a truly good man. I believe that His Highness, the Crown Prince, will consider the issue from the perspective of our common people."

"The officials of Bailu Mansion have darkened their consciences one by one. We can't trust them. If we have to trust them, what did they do in the early years?"

Someone spoke again, and this person seemed to have some authority. When he spoke out, he received a lot of responses.

"That's right, we can't lose our minds just because our child is lost. Every one of these officials in the Bailu Mansion has darkened their consciences. We must support His Highness the Crown Prince."

"That's right, His Royal Highness has sent troops here just to support us people. These dogs will be beheaded one after another. Don't trust them."

As the sound continued to sound.

Zhou He's face changed slightly. He didn't expect the officials of Bailu Mansion to be so unpopular with the people?

You must know that everything he said was speaking for these people, but he did not expect this result.

"Fellow folks, you can choose not to believe in Bailu Mansion, but you can choose to believe in Jiangling County."

"I am the governor of Jiangling County. I will not lie to you."

Zhou He opened his mouth, saying that Bailu Mansion has lost the support of the people. He has nothing to say. His only hope now is to hope that these people will believe in him.

"Go away, you are a nest of snakes and rats, who doesn't know?"

"You still believe in Jiangling County? Old man, I believe ghosts don't even believe you people in Jiangling County."

"Who doesn't know that officials protect each other? We just believe in His Royal Highness."

"That's right, I believe in His Royal Highness."

Along with these sounds.

Zhou He's face became extremely ugly, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

He could only give the officials of Bailu Mansion a vicious look.

As long as they did something, it would not be the current situation.

Get answers from the people.

Gu Jinnian also let out a long breath.

However, he had no rejoicing or joy, but a stronger sense of coldness.

Facts prove.

How incompetent are the officials of Bailu Mansion?

These officials only know that the common people deserve to be killed.

For a moment, Gu Jinnian looked at Zhou He.

"Master Zhou, what else can you say now?"

Gu Jinnian asked.

"Your Highness, I still feel that the search should be the priority."

"The people are just resisting these officials, not voluntarily."

Zhou He still spoke, hoping to search.

"Search for your mother."

"Did I give you face, my prince?"

"I'm asking you, because you are the governor of Jiangling County, so I can't scold you directly."

"Do you think this prince has given you face? You are an immortal thing."

"Why don't you just die?"

"Still making noise here."

Hearing that Zhou He was still insisting, Gu Jinnian couldn't bear it anymore.

There is absolutely no need to ask Zhou He about this matter. To put it bluntly, even if the people ask for a search, the military power is in the hands of Gu Jinnian. It is completely possible to pretend to search but actually continue to control it.

The reason for doing this was to show Zhou He how disappointed the people were with the officials of Bailu Mansion.

On the surface, he is right. After all, the court will know about the things he has done sooner or later. In this way, he still has an explanation.

At least he can talk to this Zhou He and he is not completely dictatorial.

Unexpectedly, Zhou He really felt that he was afraid, and he made irresponsible remarks and obstructed him again and again.

Then Gu Jinnian couldn't bear it anymore.

Start spraying directly.

After being directly criticized, Zhou He looked a little unhappy.

"Your Highness, I am just suggesting that you have never been an official and don't understand many things."

"A few simple suggestions, why does His Highness need to be so angry?"

When Zhou He spoke, he was not angry.

"Angry at your mother."

"I will never die."

Gu Jinnian returned to his seat and spoke again.

Nothing else, I just like to curse people.

"His Royal Highness, you are a scholar. It is insulting to be polite to speak like this."

Zhou He took a deep breath. He had a palace and didn't want to yell at Gu Jinnian here, which would be a loss of status.

"Your mother."

"A person like you deserves to be treated with courtesy by this prince."

"Do you want me to be with your mother Sven?"

Gu Jinnian continued to insult him, and the insults became more and more unpleasant. He did not look like a scholar at all.

Just like a dandy boy.

But if you think about it carefully, Gu Jinnian seems to be a dandy.

Not wrong at all.

"Your Highness, I have always been polite to you, but you have insulted me again and again."

"Now you are even insulting my husband and my wife. You have gone too far."

This time Zhou He really couldn't stand it anymore.

The two sentences I scolded before were fine, but now the scolding has gone too far and is too unpleasant. Does this sound like a scholar?

"What if I scold you?"

"You beasts, let alone scolding you, even if I kill you, what can you do?"

"besides."

Gu Jinnian spoke coldly.

Then he stood up, pointed at Zhou He and roared loudly.

"If you dare to talk nonsense here again, do you believe that I will torture you now?"

"Immortal thing, do you think I am here to discuss with you? I am here to inform you."

"Everyone, please listen to me. I am the eldest son of Bailu Mansion now. If you don't agree, just say something."

"If you scream again, the nine tribes will be killed."

Gu Jinnian's voice was so loud and powerful, and he used the power of martial arts that the officials' faces turned red because of the surge of energy and blood in their bodies, not because of shame.

These people have nothing to be ashamed of.

Sure enough, this method shut them up instantly.

I really don't dare to continue to provoke him.

If they continue to provoke them, they are afraid that Gu Jinnian will get hot-headed and torture them.

After everything is quiet.

Gu Jinnian spoke.

"Passed to the magistrate of Pingyang County."

Gu Jinnian took a deep breath and stopped talking.

Zhang Minggu is indeed just a small piece of jewelry, but this piece of jewelry was given to him by Su Wenjing. Mr. Wenjing must have had his thoughts and intentions in choosing this piece of jewelry.

Now that Su Huaiyu and the others had not come back with any news, Gu Jinnian couldn't say much.

It can only be investigated from this piece of eucalyptus.

soon.

The magistrate of Pingyang County appeared.

He was detained and immediately knelt on the ground.

"I am now the magistrate of Pingyang County, Wang Yong, and I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Yong knelt on the ground, looking a little panicked. He was just a county magistrate. Who had ever seen such a posture?

"Wang Yong."

"My prince is asking you."

"What did Zhang Ming die of?"

Gu Jinnian spoke in a calm voice.

Hearing this, Wang Yong did not dare to answer, but lowered his head in a panic.

"explain."

Gu Jinnian shouted.

At the moment, Wang Yong hesitated.

"Zhang Ming entered Wang Yuan's home late at night and accidentally killed a servant. He was taken into custody by the government and sentenced to execution by the Ministry of Punishment."

Wang Yong lowered his head and said this.

"Killing a royal servant by mistake?"

"Why is he going to the Wang family?"

Gu Jinnian continued to ask.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, heard rumors from nowhere because of the county government's demolition of households. He thought that the Wang family was secretly suppressing him, so he made a big fuss in the government and was imprisoned for three months."

"After he was released from prison, he got drunk and became emboldened, so he sneaked into Wang Yuan's home and accidentally killed others."

"This man was addicted to alcohol, and he was very lazy and addicted to gambling. In the end, he sold his wife and daughter. He was really a thug."

Wang Yong gave the answer.

"House demolition matter?"

"Do you think my prince is a fool?"

"Zhang Ming's neighbors and friends have all written confessions."

"Zhang Ming returned from the army. A few days later, he found that his wife and daughter suddenly disappeared. He ran to report the case to the government, but the government did not take action."

"Then Zhang Ming began to drink gradually. As for gambling, the confessions of these people never mentioned that Zhang Ming was addicted to gambling. Instead, some of his friends who were on duty took the initiative to drag Zhang Ming to the casino."

"Is this also called a gambling addiction?"

"As for the demolition of households, it is even more nonsense. This is the land deed of Zhang Ming's family. The land deed has been sold to members of the Wang family and sold for ten taels of silver."

"Zhang Ming's house has yards in front and back, and 20 acres of fertile land. If calculated according to the split of households, he can get at least 2,300 taels of silver, and sell 10 taels of silver to Yuan Wang?"

"Isn't there something hidden in this?"

"Wang Yong, this prince gives you one last chance. If you tell the truth, my prince can give you leniency."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

Su Huaiyu did his job reliably. Not only did he bring the person here, but he also recorded a confession on the way. Su Huaiyu also wrote down some of his own opinions and doubts.

This Zhang Ming did not sell his son or daughter at all. His wife and daughter were missing. After the disappearance, he went to report the disappearance, but after waiting for a long time, there was no news, so he gradually began to drink to relieve his sorrow.

As for being addicted to gambling, this is simply impossible.

And there is a big doubt in all this, that is, the land deed of Zhang Ming's family was actually sold to Wang Yuanwai for ten taels of silver. The land deed worth more than two thousand taels of silver was sold for ten taels of silver.

This is very suspicious, but the time of sale was a few days before he was imprisoned.

It should be voluntary.

"This subordinate doesn't know."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Wang Yong stuttered completely and was speechless.

"I don't know, right?"

"When someone comes, send the message to the king."

As soon as Gu Jinnian was stunned, he was waiting for Wang Yong's words.

soon.

A figure was escorted over. Outside Yuan Wang.

After entering the government office.

Wang Yuanwai knelt on the ground, sweating profusely from fear.

"The common people have seen the adults."

Wang Yuanwai knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice, which showed how scared he was.

He didn't know who Gu Jinnian was, he only knew that he was from Kyoto and was a big shot.

"Wang Ping, why did Zhang Ming buy the land deed from you at a discount of ten taels of silver?"

Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.

Ask directly.

"This time, my lord, it was a common man who used a trick to get Zhang Ming to sign the land deed while he was drunk."

Wang Ping opened his mouth and answered like this.

It's just that this answer, everyone knows is false.

"You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin."

"Get the other party drunk and sign the land deed. Zhang Ming won't cause trouble?"

"Someone is here to behead the whole family except the king. If you don't tell the truth, then my son will die."

"You really think that if you don't tell the truth, I won't be able to find out, right?"

Gu Jinnian was very domineering and directly issued an order to drag him out and behead him.

As soon as he said this, Mr. Wang's face turned green with fright.

"I said, I said, I said, sir, I'll recruit you."

Wang Yuanwai was frightened.

This prince doesn't play by the rules. Shouldn't he use evidence to refute himself?

Behead him when you come up? Do you want to be so overbearing?

"Your Highness, you are not in compliance with the rules."

"Isn't this a result of submission?"

Zhou He opened his mouth and immediately wanted to stop him. Gu Jinnian's interrogation was completely against the rules.

Snapped.

However, Gu Jinnian in the hall took out an iron order and threw it at Zhou He's face with such force that it made Zhou He dizzy.

"I said, if you dare to make noise again, I will kill you. If someone comes, I will slap you twenty times. Anyone who dares to stop me from doing this will be slapped until they dare not speak."

Gu Jinnian was not used to it.

That’s a shame, right?

In an instant, two soldiers came over and slapped Zhou He on the face in front of everyone.

Twenty slaps, each one louder than the last, caused Zhou He to suffer from brain congestion.

The first is pain, the second is humiliation.

General Chang Fei and others on the side also frowned as they watched.

At the same time, I was also somewhat thankful that I didn't offend Gu Jinnian completely. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to bear it if he slapped them twenty times in public.

This is worse than death.

"explain."

Gu Jinnian looked at Yuan Wang outside and said angrily.

"Return to my lord."

"It was the magistrate of Pingyang County who asked me to find Zhang Ming privately. Zhang Ming's wife and daughter were missing at the time. I lied to him and said that if I knew the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, I would just sell the house to the villain."

"Later, he sold the house, and the villain kept it from him for a month. Later, it was revealed that he had been cheated, so he went to the Yamen to make a fuss. Magistrate Wang took action and imprisoned him for three months."

"Then he was released from prison, harbored hatred, and killed one of my servants. Finally, I sent someone to arrest him and take him to the county government, where he was sentenced to death."

Wang Yuanwai told the truth.

"You are talking nonsense here, sir. I am not. It is because he is greedy and it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Yong panicked and spoke quickly.

"Shut up."

Gu Jinnian patted the gavel and looked at Wang Ping fiercely.

"remember."

"This is your last chance."

"Did Zhang Ming kill anyone?"

Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and found a loophole.

If Zhang Ming wants to kill someone, he will only kill the king and not a servant. Even if he is discovered, as a practicing family member, he can ignore these servants.

However, the files record that Zhang Ming was directly arrested by the county government without contact with Wang Ping.

This means that it was designed by someone.

After hearing this, Wang Ping stopped talking again.

"It seems you really want to die."

Gu Jinnian stood up and had murderous intent.

"grown ups."

"The villain said, the villain said everything. It was Wang Yong who told the villain to frame Zhang Ming."

"Zhang Ming indeed did not kill anyone."

Wang Ping looked sad.

Answer truthfully.

If he said it, he would be unlucky at most, but if he didn't tell it, based on Gu Jinnian's temper, he would probably kill all three of his clans, and the nine clans were a bit exaggerated.

But he still wanted to protect the Yibao tribe.

Got the answer.

Gu Jinnian stopped talking.

But Wang Yong exhaled directly, completely at a loss what to say.

"Wang Yong."

"I will give you a chance. You should tell the truth what is going on."

"I can guarantee that your whole family will not be killed, your descendants will still be alive, and your wife and parents will not be implicated in this."

"I only give you a chance."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

Wang Yong has problems, Wang Ping also has problems, but these are just little shrimps, you just need to know the truth.

Other things don't matter.

He wanted to find out who was behind it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wang Yong raised his head and looked at Gu Jinnian. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But at this moment.

Xu Ping's voice sounded.

"Wang Yong, you'd better tell the truth and tell everything clearly. The prince will only give you one chance. If you tell the truth, your nine clans will die."

The voice sounded.

Gu Jinnian's expression suddenly changed.

This is Chi Guoguo's threat.

Sure enough, as Xu Ping spoke, Wang Yong's eyes widened, and then he took a deep breath and slapped his heart hard.

He is very determined.

There was hardly any hesitation.

It directly shatters your own heart.

Killed on the spot.

ruthless.

ruthless.

ruthless.

It's really too cruel.

"Xu Ping."

"Do you want to die?"

Gu Jinnian set off and came directly to Xu Ping, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"His Royal Highness."

"I just repeated what you said. I was afraid that this guy wouldn't tell the truth, but I didn't expect that Wang Yong would rather die than tell the truth."

"It seems that Wang Yong must be involved with these child traffickers. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Highness."

Xu Ping opened his mouth.

He seemed a little aggrieved, as if he just did bad things with good intentions.

But everyone knows that this is threatening Wang Yong.

Although it is repetitive.

But the meaning of this repetition is nothing more than telling Wang Yong that if he dares to speak out, your nine clans will die and Gu Jinnian will not be able to save it.

And the people involved behind this must be very big, so big that Wang Yong would not believe a prince.

"Here comes someone."

"Clap his mouth."

"Beat him until he can't speak."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

But the good thing is that Zhang Mingyu basically figured it out.

His wife and children disappeared, so he drank to relieve his sorrow, was deceived again, caused a big fuss in the yamen, planned to be murdered, and died unjustly in his hometown.

A few words can explain it clearly, but no one knows the bitterness and pain involved.

Wang Yong is dead.

Gu Jinnian didn't care, but was even more certain that this matter was related to everyone present, especially Xu Ping.

The soldiers came and grabbed Xu Ping, and slapped him regardless of what Xu Ping said.

And Gu Jinnian's eyes fell on Wang Ping again.

"There is one thing that you haven't told me yet. It's true that you deceived Zhang Ming."

"But what did you use to deceive me?"

"Why should Zhang Ming believe your words?"

"That is to say, you must have a token of his wife and daughter, or something very important. Otherwise, Zhang Ming would not be stupid enough to believe you without hesitation."

"speak out."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

Deceive him into believing.

Businessmen pursue profits.

But the question is, why do people believe it? And why do they believe you?

Seek medical attention in a hurry?

possible.

But Zhang Ming is not stupid. He will give you the land deed directly. What if you lie to me?

Unless Wang Ping took out some tokens.

This means that Wang Ping really knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, or that Wang Yong knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter.

"Return to my lord"

Wang Yong wanted to speak.

A voice sounded.

"Someone, please carry Wang Yong's body down."

The voice sounded. It was an official, an official from Bailu Mansion. He suddenly spoke at this time.

The meaning is the same as that of Xu Ping.

It's a warning.

"Palm mouth."

Gu Jinnian just glanced at it, knowing that someone would jump out.

But he was not afraid, and he still did it intentionally.

There is no other reason.

If interrogated alone, it would be of little significance if these people were not present. Wang Yong or Wang Ping could retract their confessions at any time.

It's best to make it clear in person.

Otherwise, if you turn around and give them the opportunity to retract the confession, you will be in trouble.

"Wang Yong."

"If you tell me, I will send an army of three thousand to protect your family."

"After this affair is over, I will send them to Beijing and live next to the Duke's Mansion."

"I can assure you that if your family is implicated in this incident, I will do nothing in this life except find the real culprits and execute them all in a hurry to avenge you."

"If you don't say anything, then don't blame me for being cruel when something is eventually found out."

Gu Jinnian spoke up and threatened Wang Ping.

However, before Wang Ping could answer, a figure walked over quickly, that of Xu Jin.

His face was heavy.

Quickly walked up to Gu Jinnian.

"His Royal Highness."

"King Qilin is here."

The voice was very low, but everyone present was excited.

King Qilin is here?

The smiles of General Chang Fei and others could not be concealed.

As for Zhou He and others, they took a long breath and couldn't hide the smiles in their eyes.

King Qilin is here.

Their biggest backstage is here.

Different surname Wang.

Daxia has a different surname: Wang.

In terms of status, he is only higher than Gu Jinnian.

In terms of strength, this prince is a strong King of Martial Arts.

In terms of means, when the prince went into battle to kill the enemy, Gu Jinnian was still drinking milk.

When King Qilin appears, he will definitely be able to suppress Gu Jinnian, and suppress him to death.

Everyone is excited.

But the people in the Shankui military camp felt a little heavy.

"Where?"

Gu Jinnian asked.

"We're about to enter the city."

Xu Jin replied.

"How many people did he bring?"

Gu Jinnian continued to ask.

"Four maids."

"But they are all the best among the best. They are very strong. No matter who they are, even the generals cannot defeat them."

Xu Jin thought for a while and gave this answer.

"Your Highness, King Qilin is really not easy to mess with."

"General Wu must be polite when he sees King Qilin."

"If you really want to talk about status, King Qilin is just a little bit worse than the Duke of the country."

"But this slight difference is due to regional issues. After all, the old man is in Kyoto. Outside of Kyoto, it's hard to say."

"You must not fight with him. I think King Qilin will give Duke Zhen some face."

Xu Jin made a sound and said a lot.

There is a meaning in the tone of voice.

Don't provoke King Qilin.

You really can't mess with it.

"knew."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

The mood also seemed a little heavy.

He knew that King Qilin would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

But it will come sooner or later, so there is nothing to worry about.

He wanted to see what this Qilin King looked like.

Gu Jinnian didn't say much.

Instead, he continued to look at Wang Ping.

I glanced at the other people again, and everyone was smiling.

He looked really happy.

At this moment.

Bailufu City Entrance.

Troops guarded both sides.

The people in the Shankui military camp were fierce, but at this moment, they seemed extremely quiet.

City entrance.

A figure slowly appeared.

It was a man, wearing a gilt white robe, walking steadily, eight feet tall, who appeared in front of everyone.

The man stood with his hands behind his back. He was wearing an extremely ferocious golden mask, which was intimidating.

There are four maids behind him, each of whom is also wearing a mask, but it is not a gold mask, but a silver mask.

This is King Qilin.

One of the most famous princes in Daxia.

Theoretically speaking, there is something wrong with using one.

Because there is currently only one king with a different surname in Daxia.

After the Jiande disaster, only this one king with different surnames was left. The other kings with different surnames basically died during the reign of Taizu. The two or three remaining kings were completely destroyed by the Emperor Jiande.

King Qilin helped Emperor Yongsheng too much, so he was given the title of King with a different surname.

Theoretically, the status of a king with a different surname is higher than that of a duke.

king.

It is the existence with the highest status after the emperor, but those who are named kings with different surnames will basically have no good end.

In particular, Taizu killed so many kings with different surnames that many people would rather be the Duke of the country than the king.

This also means that the prince's power is not as great as that of the prince.

It's normal. After all, the place where the Duke is located is the political center of Daxia, strategizing the world's major events.

The prince can only manage his own territory, and he still has to pay 30% of the tax every year, and the rest is responsible for his own profits and losses.

In the middle of the city entrance.

With the appearance of King Qilin, everything seemed very quiet.

All the soldiers looked at King Qilin with respect and awe in their eyes.

No matter what camp they are in, they always have a heartfelt awe for the king.

And at this moment.

The figure of King Qilin paused.

He looked to the left.

Not far away, Kong Zhen was gagged and exposed to the scorching sun. He was covered in wounds and looked extremely miserable.

See this scene.

King Qilin's eyes did not change, but he spoke calmly.

"Put him down."

King Qilin spoke up.

There is no coldness at all, but it possesses an irresistible majesty.

"Your Majesty."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order."

"Without his order, no one can let him go."

The soldiers on the side spoke, lowered their heads, and said to King Qilin.

Snapped.

In an instant, a figure appeared in front of him and slapped him directly in the face.

"How dare you disobey the prince's orders? Do you want to die?"

An extremely cold voice sounded.

One of the maids took action and slapped the opponent so hard that his nostrils started to bleed.

"Your Majesty."

"Military orders are like mountains. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued military orders."

The other person lowered his head and spoke, his words filled with panic and helplessness.

On the one hand, it is Gu Jinnian's military order.

On the one hand, it was the order of King Qilin.

He also felt embarrassed.

"Put the person down."

King Qilin’s voice sounded again.

This is the second time.

Everyone knew that if King Qilin were to say the third sentence, someone would be killed.

Finally, a commander came forward and put Kong Zhen down without saying a word.

They could not withstand the pressure of King Qilin.

This is scary.

They really couldn't bear it. As for Gu Jinnian's military order, it wasn't that they didn't obey it, but it had a different meaning.

After all, Gu Jinnian was not the general of Shankui Army Camp. If Wu Wangzhi asked them to tie up Kong Zhen, they would never do so.

But Gu Jinnian only relied on the military talisman, without the order of the Ministry of War, and without the emperor's dragon talisman. To do this, he was already benevolent and righteous.

After the person was put down, King Qilin shot out a burst of martial arts energy and poured it into the latter's body, causing the half-dead Kong Zhen to gradually regain his vitality.

"King Qilin?"

"Is it the prince?"

"Your Majesty, you are finally here, Your Majesty."

After regaining consciousness, Kong Zhen discovered that the person in front of him was King Qilin. He was extremely excited for a moment and wanted to express all his inner grievances.

He has suffered tremendously these past two days.

It's a huge pain.

Gu Jinnian is not a human being.

"Mr. Kong is at ease."

"Everything belongs to me."

King Qilin made a sound, calmly appeasing him, and then looked at the group of soldiers.

"Remember this for me."

"In the western territory, apart from His Majesty, my king's orders are military orders."

"Wu Wangzhi is here, but he doesn't dare to disobey my order."

"If you dare to do this again next time, you will die."

King Qilin opened his mouth.

After saying this, he walked towards Bailufufuyamen.

In the eyes of everyone, although these words were dull, they were deeply imprinted in their hearts.

This is King Qilin.

The only king with a different surname in Daxia.

Really domineering.

It is indeed arrogant.

But what made them silent was that what he said was absolutely correct.

This Western Territory is truly his decision.

As long as the emperor is not here in person, King Qilin is the emperor of the Western Territory and the only king of the Western Territory.

The supreme king.

soon.

Inside Bailu Mansion.

Gu Jinnian did not look heavy because of the arrival of King Qilin, he was just waiting for Wang Ping's answer.

Just, at this moment.

There was a commotion among the people outside.

In the government office, the officials became even more excited. They knew that this must be King Qilin coming.

Suddenly, both outside and inside seemed lively.

"Gu Jinnian."

"It's such a great official power."

people's future.

The sound has already come.

Very dull.

No anger.

Not vicious either.

But this calm tone actually gave him a powerful momentum.

Hear this sound.

In the government office.

Gu Jinnian sat quietly, waiting for the arrival of the first king with a different surname in Daxia.

next moment.

A figure appears.

Eight feet tall, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, wearing a white jade robe and a gold ferocious mask.

The figure of King Qilin appeared.

Step by step, step by step, he walked to the front of the government office. Under the golden mask, a pair of eyes were full of calm.

No disdain, no arrogance, no condescension.

But ignore it.

A look that ignores everything.

This is the king.

The first person with a different surname in Daxia was Wang.

A force developed through long experience in the battlefield, high position all year round, and martial arts prowess.

An unparalleled momentum.

To be honest, Gu Jinnian's momentum is not comparable to that of King Qilin.

This is inevitable.

But the awe-inspiring righteousness in Gu Jinnian's body makes him unafraid of the opponent's royal aura.

But even if he didn't want to admit it, Gu Jinnian had to admit it.

This King of Qilin is indeed very different.

The aura is also good.

Even the eyes.

Regardless of identity or status, it is indeed better than myself.

But so what?

There is nearly twenty years difference between the two. Twenty years later, Gu Jinnian has absolute confidence and surpasses King Qilin.

So he has no fear.

Fearless from the heart.

"I'll wait to see you, Your Majesty."

"I will wait to see the prince."

Suddenly, all the civil servants spoke in unison and bowed to King Qilin.

As for General Chang Fei and others, they knelt down and worshiped directly.

People in the Shankui military camp should also respectfully call you Wangye.

With his appearance.

Suppress everything.

However, Gu Jinnian did not salute respectfully. Instead, he looked at Kong Zhen beside him with a somewhat expressionless expression.

"The official authority of this prince is greater than that of King Qilin."

"In the eyes of the prince, my prince's military orders are like a piece of waste paper. You can tear it up whenever you want. This is the true official authority."

Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.

He answered the voice of King Qilin.

"You also have military orders?"

"The Duke of Zhenguo came up with something."

When King Qilin spoke, it was not contempt or disdain, but indifference, inquiring, and a little curious.

This is very direct.

It's just that he didn't accuse Gu Jinnian of not being a human being.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was overjoyed. Zhou He and others burst into laughter.

Good scolding.

That's how you should be scolded.

"It's not your turn to take care of whatever my grandfather teaches you."

"I'm just curious about what kind of things my uncle keeps."

"You're still not obedient after being given a bone?"

"In my opinion, dogs that break the rules should be killed."

"It's no use keeping it."

Faced with the ridicule of King Qilin.

Gu Jinnian was not used to it.

What about the prince?

Just follow the scolding.

But the other party has a strange yin and yang, and Gu Jinnian also has a yin and yang.

"presumptuous."

"Bold."

In an instant, two voices sounded, one was from the maid next to King Qilin, and the other was from General Chang Fei.

The two of them spoke together and angrily scolded Gu Jinnian.

Powerful pressure surged like a mountain and a sea in an instant.

He pressed towards Gu Jinnian.

But at this moment.

A voice sounded faintly.

"His Royal Highness."

"Be patient."

"My subordinates have already written down all the people who took action."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Although my other abilities are not good, I still have the ability to escape."

"When my subordinates arrive in Kyoto, this list will be given to the Duke of Zhen as soon as possible."

"For the humiliation you are suffering now, I hope that the Duke of our country will help you repay it tenfold."

Sound Qi Zhen

It was Su Huaiyu's voice.

crucial moment.

He appeared.

But he stood at the door of the government office, holding a small booklet in his hand, and drew pictures of these people.

kindness.

As expected of you.

As Su Huaiyu's voice sounded, the two of them immediately retracted their momentum. Because King Qilin had not yet issued an order, it was indeed inappropriate for them to do this in private.

If you are okay with others, but the person you are targeting is Gu Jinnian, so you really need to be more careful.

"Do you think this king is afraid of Duke Zhenguo?"

King Qilin's voice sounded.

He didn't look back, he just spoke calmly.

"The prince is definitely not afraid."

"But I can guarantee that you will touch the prince now."

"You can prepare for the funeral. To put it bluntly, the old man has half a foot in the coffin. Before he dies, it is not a bad thing to drag a prince down to be buried with him."

Su Huaiyu's voice became colder.

This was the first time his face looked so cold.

But what he said was not wrong at all.

No one knows how strong Zhen Guogong is, but before the difficulties of building virtue, Zhen Guogong was a strong man in the Great Perfection of King Wu. No one knows whether he has broken through to the sixth realm.

But King Qilin is only in the realm of King Wu, and may be in the Great Perfection, but he is definitely not as good as Lord Zhen Guo.

It's really not a big problem for the Duke of Zhen to go crazy and take away a Qilin King.

It's just whether it's necessary or not.

It was very quiet inside the government office.

This has risen to the level of killing each other, and the topic is very serious.

"This king will give Duke Zhen Guo some face."

"But only once."

"Gu Jinnian, please cherish it. If it weren't for Duke Zhen, you would have died just now."

King Qilin made a sound.

He didn't choose to be radical, but he was still extremely domineering both inside and outside his words.

"If you were not King Qilin, you would have died just now."

At this moment, a voice sounded, but it was not Gu Jinnian who spoke, but Su Huaiyu.

Inside the government office.

Gu Jinnian couldn't help but frown, why did this guy become like this all of a sudden?

Mad, aren't you too arrogant?

To be honest, King Qilin was a bit domineering, but he also scolded him back, and the two sides ended in a draw in the first round.

In the second round, King Qilin was just using his words and there was no need to fight back like this.

It is not a wise thing to forcefully anger King Qilin.

From the beginning to the end, although Gu Jinnian seems reckless, everything he does is measured. What should be done and what should not be done, who can and who cannot criticize, Gu Jinnian knows in his heart.

There is no need to choke back on Su Huaiyu's words.

Even if he says it, he says it himself. What he says will cause trouble.

really.

As Su Huaiyu retorted like this, King Qilin slowly turned around.

His eyes were extremely calm, looking at Su Huaiyu was like looking at a dead person.

"Gu Jinnian's grandfather is the Duke of Zhen Guo. I will give Duke Zhen Guo some face."

"Who do you think you are?"

King Qilin's voice was indifferent.

Upon hearing this.

Su Huaiyu took a deep breath, then said with cold eyes.

"Who am I?"

"Then please, King Qilin, listen carefully."

"My name is Su Huaiyu, and I am appointed by Great Xia."

"Your Majesty, do you want to move me and see?"

"I really want to see whether it is the king's destiny or destiny."

Su Huaiyu was completely tough this time.

In the past, he would basically run away as soon as he encountered danger, but he didn't expect to be so tough today.

And he still dared to argue angrily with King Qilin.

Really awesome.

boom.

In an instant, the maid next to King Qilin took action. It was obvious that King Qilin was very domineering and he was really not afraid of destiny.

But at this moment, Su Huaiyu quickly took out a gold token from his arms.

The voice roared.

"The Great Xia Dragon Talisman is here."

"Who among you dares to make a mistake?"

He spoke, and for a moment, everyone was stunned. Even King Qilin had a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Gu Jinnian felt even more incredible in his heart.

Su Huaiyu has the Great Xia Dragon Talisman?

This is the emperor's secret order, which represents the supreme imperial power.

Half a dragon talisman can mobilize an army of 100,000.

A whole piece of dragon talisman can dispatch a military camp.

If paired with the Tiger Talisman of the Ministry of War, all military camps in Daxia must obey orders.

This dragon talisman is equivalent to the emperor's military power. It is supreme and cannot even be owned by the prince. Basically, it can only be held in the hands of the emperor.

"Seeing this dragon talisman, why don't you bow down?"

Su Huaiyu shouted loudly.

At that moment, everyone reacted and bowed to the dragon talisman.

"Long live my emperor, long live me."

But King Qilin did not bow, he just looked at the dragon talisman, and there was finally a hint of other emotions in his eyes.

It's doubt.

Obviously, he was suspecting that the dragon talisman was fake.

"According to His Majesty's secret order, His Royal Highness Gu Jinnian is sent to Jiangling County to investigate the secret."

"His Majesty gave Gu Jinnian all the power to dispatch, arrest, interrogate, and kill first and report later. However, the truth must be investigated and the execution process carried out. Anyone who obstructs the execution can be killed."

"Shankui Military Camp will fully cooperate with you, as if I were here in person."

Su Huaiyu spoke loudly and recited the oral instructions.

Then, he looked at King Qilin and said harshly.

"You still haven't paid homage to His Majesty?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Su Huaiyu roared angrily, his eyes cold.

Hearing this, King Qilin still had curiosity and doubt in his eyes.

But in the end, he lowered his head and spoke slowly.

"Long live my emperor, long live me."

King Qilin spoke up.

But speak immediately.

"I don't recognize this dragon talisman."

"The honorific title Long Live shows respect for His Majesty."

He spoke out.

I suspect this is fake, but the reason why I still bow my head is very simple.

It's not a question of whether to gamble or not, but a question of respect or not. Even the fake ones should be respected because he is a king with a different surname.

If you make any mistakes, you can easily get into trouble, especially if it involves Emperor Yongsheng.

"Whether it is true or not, Your Majesty can go to Kyoto now to inquire."

"The dragon talisman is here. This is true. If you dare to be disrespectful, you will destroy the nine tribes."

Su Huaiyu didn't care whether he believed it or not, but he just threatened him coldly, then came to Gu Jinnian and handed the token to Gu Jinnian.

"Please, His Majesty the Crown Prince, take charge of the dragon talisman and redress the injustice of the people."

Su Huaiyu looked solemn and handed the dragon talisman to Gu Jinnian.

"Students must live up to the grace of the Holy One."

Gu Jinnian took the dragon talisman.

Very heavy.

If you look carefully, there is nothing wrong with either the carving method or the pattern.

Gu Jinnian also has a piece of Daxia Golden Token. Regardless of the texture and texture, it has almost the same feel, with no difference at all.

It is indeed a dragon talisman.

But the question is, why should you give the dragon talisman to Su Huaiyu? Instead of giving it directly to yourself?

To put it bluntly, even the prince was reluctant to give this dragon talisman to Su Huaiyu.

Don't say that King Qilin doesn't believe it.

Gu Jinnian also didn't believe it.

But Gu Jinnian was also curious about whether Su Huaiyu found anything at Qingyuan Temple.

However, it seemed that he knew what Gu Jinnian was thinking, and Su Huaiyu gave him a message. No clues were found, but Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Yunrou continued to investigate.

At the same time, he looked at the dragon talisman in front of him and nodded. Instead of transmitting a message, he gave Gu Jinnian a hint.

A hint that this is a true dragon talisman.

For a moment, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.

Although he didn't know why His Majesty gave the dragon talisman to Su Huaiyu, he felt that it was not completely impossible.

Especially Su Huaiyu is so serious.

In addition, this guy never does anything risky, which means that this dragon charm may be real.

Now.

After receiving the dragon talisman.

Gu Jinnian had great confidence in his heart.

The greatest pressure King Qilin puts on himself is not his personal strength, but his authority.

Military orders are like mountains.

Shankui Army will strictly implement every order he gives, and he will attack when he is told to attack.

Let them kill the enemy and they will kill the enemy.

But after King Qilin appeared, he immediately rescued Kong Zhen. Wasn't the reason why he wanted to destroy his own military power?

After all, I am taking advantage of the situation, not my own situation.

The Shankui Army did not dare to really offend King Qilin, or perhaps they could not bear the pressure of King Qilin.

But it's different now.

Master the Dragon Talisman.

I am still taking advantage of the situation.

What can be borrowed is the power of the imperial power.

The previous imperial edict was not of high value, and I was not confident about it.

But Dragon Talisman.

Decide everything.

Seeing the order is like seeing me.

These five words can explain everything.

"King Qilin."

"Did you put down Kong Zhen?"

Gu Jinnian said calmly. With the dragon talisman, he was full of confidence and he was not afraid of causing trouble this time.

Just do it.

"right."

King Qilin stood with his hands behind his hands and replied calmly.

"Who gave you the power?"

"Don't you know that this is my prince's order?"

Gu Jinnian asked aloud.

"Know."

"so what?"

"What authority do you have to tie the Confucian scholar to a wooden stake?"

"You are insulting the saint. Although I am a martial artist, I also love reading and know how to respect the saint."

"And you, obviously a scholar, insult the saint like this. This is why I am curious about what Duke Zhen Guo has taught you."

King Qilin was not afraid and ignored this dragon talisman.

"The descendants of the Kong family are saints?"

"Will descendants of the Kong family never do wrong things?"

"What books has the prince read these years?"

"Idiots like you don't need to study. Just be a good warrior. Do your job honestly and don't just bark."

With the dragon talisman, Gu Jinnian was not used to King Qilin.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Two hundred thousand troops have been mobilized, so what's the point of adding one more crime?

At most, it won't last more than a year.

Be mentally prepared.

"I have endured you twice."

"If you dare to say one more thing, do you believe that I will teach you a lesson for the Duke?"

King Qilin spoke up.

It's not that he has no temper, but he doesn't want to pay attention to Gu Jinnian, but he can't stand Gu Jinnian's repeated insults.

But when he said this, Gu Jinnian was a little angry and laughed.

This man is really domineering.

It was obvious that he was the first to be aggressive, and he kept saying that his grandfather had taught him something.

Now it seems like he was the one who made the rude remarks?

This King of Qilin is really arrogant to the extreme, domineering to the extreme, and arrogant to the extreme.

Snapped.

Gu Jinnian placed the dragon talisman directly in front of the eucalyptus table and said with a cold expression.

"The dragon talisman is here."

"If King Qilin touches my son, Shankui's army will follow my orders and directly surround and kill King Qilin's 100,000 cavalry. Then they will go to Shankui's barracks to mobilize the last 100,000 troops, and let my horses trample the palace to defeat the enemy and kill the general.

"

"Within three days, King Qi's army will be removed from Daxia."

"King Qilin."

"I would like to see if you dare to teach me a lesson for my grandfather?"

Gu Jinnian is really on fire.

When you first came up, you undermined your military power, and then you looked at yourself with an attitude of indifference, just like an adult looking at a child. It wasn't that you looked down upon, but that you never took you seriously.

First he was aggressive and rude, and then he spoke arrogantly here.

To be honest, even if King Qilin was communicating with him normally and you were fighting with me, Gu Jinnian would not be so angry.

Even if King Qilin used some things to impeach him, Gu Jinnian really didn't know how to answer.

You may suffer a loss.

But this guy is too arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't regard himself as a human being at all.

Then Gu Jinnian wants to see who is crazier than who.

"Destroy our King Qi's army? You really don't know whether to live or die."

"Then you give the order and take a look."

King Qilin was really a ruthless character and was not frightened at all by Gu Jinnian's words.

To be honest, General Chang Fei's expression changed on the side.

He knew how crazy Gu Jinnian was.

Zhou He and others also changed their expressions.

Others may just be addicted to talking, but Gu Jinnian really dares to do such a thing.

Snapped.

"Shan Kuijun listens to the order."

"King Qilin does not respect the Holy Will and the Dragon Talisman. He has the intention to rebel and cause chaos. Anyone who does not respect the Dragon Talisman is disrespecting the Holy One. This is a serious crime of treason."

"Kill me and slaughter all the 100,000 cavalry."

"Go all the way west, break through the Qilin Prince's Mansion, and exterminate all nine of his tribes."

"quick!"

"go!"

At the end of his sentence, Gu Jinnian slapped the dragon talisman on the table.

come.

A little crazier than anyone else, right?

More ruthless than anyone else, right?

Then take a look.

Let’s see if you, King Qilin, are also crazy?

Let's see if you, King Qilin, dare to gamble with your own army.

Don't talk about the whole army being destroyed.

Even if these 100,000 cavalry are killed, the Qilin King can live in peace and contentment.

What does one hundred thousand cavalry mean? It means an invincible force. If the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to cultivate one hundred thousand cavalry, it would cost a lot of manpower and financial resources.

These are the troops and horses accumulated by King Qilin from generation to generation.

Once the 100,000 cavalry were gone, although there were other arms left, in the eyes of the Great Xia Dynasty, they were completely at will.

cavalry.

It is the strongest branch of the army. There is no one. One cavalry is better than ten infantry.

Moreover, after killing your 100,000 cavalry, the war horses, weapons, and stomachs will all be taken away by the Ministry of Husbandry. After three to five years, the Ministry of War in Daxia will have an additional 100,000 cavalry.

It is a good thing for the court.

And if you really want to say it, Gu Jinnian dares to kill, which is really a great thing, especially for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After all, Gu Jinnian takes the blame.

Earn blood.

It's simply a waste of money.

Of course, if this is really done, Gu Jinnian will not be saved even if Zhen Guogong resigns.

The Gu family might be able to save Gu Jinnian by sacrificing everything.

So who is the happiest?

imperial court.

The two biggest hidden dangers were eliminated in one fell swoop, and there was still money to be made by recovering the twelve border cities.

Now it depends on whether King Qilin dares to gamble.

Quiet.

Extremely quiet.

King Qilin also fell silent.

If the person in front of him is the Marquis of Linyang or another prince, King Qilin will definitely not be afraid.

He has no fear.

But the person in front of him was Gu Jinnian, who in his opinion was just a young boy.

But just because the person in front of him was a young boy, he understood even more clearly that Gu Jinnian really dared to do this.

"The last general's decree."

After a short while of silence, a voice finally sounded and responded.

It's Xu Jin's voice.

If he doesn't answer, he won't be in front of Gu Jinnian. To be more precise, he won't give the emperor face.

That is a capital crime.

"enough."

At this moment, King Qilin's voice sounded.

Stop Xu Jin from leaving.

If this were to happen, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gu Jinnian's expression did not change when he heard King Qilin speak.

"This matter ends here."

King Qilin continued to speak.

He didn't want to make any more trouble.

no need.

It's a kind of submission.

"Is this your attitude so far?"

Gu Jinnian showed no shame at all.

Do you have to go to this point before you are willing to give in?

Also, is this how you take Furuan?

Can't your attitude be better?

Who to scare?

"Don't push yourself too far."

King Qilin spoke out, with a cold look in his eyes.

It's no longer peaceful.

This is a good thing.

It's easy to deal with someone who breaks his defense, but he's afraid of not breaking his defense. That kind of person is the real terror.

"Is it the prince who is being aggressive, or is this prince just pushing the envelope?"

Gu Jinnian said coldly.

King Qilin destroyed his military power as soon as he came up. How could Gu Jinnian make it easier for him?

We must also kill his spirit.

Otherwise, things will be difficult to handle later on.

"good."

"It is true that I made a mistake just now."

"It's my fault."

"Is it enough?"

King Qilin gradually calmed down.

He didn't want to make any more trouble.

All said and done, a hundred thousand troops were in Gu Jinnian's hands.

If he wasn't there, he would definitely not be in this posture.

"Here comes someone."

"Tie Kong Zhen to the city entrance again."

"As before, I will be whipped every half an hour."

"This time, whoever dares to put him down except this prince, no matter who it is, will be killed without mercy."

"Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy."

Gu Jinnian did not answer, but issued another military order.

Tie Kong Zhen back up again.

The purpose of this approach is simple.

It is declaring sovereignty.

"Gu Jinnian, do you dare?"

"I am a great Confucian scholar. I am a great Confucian scholar."

"Gu Jinnian, aren't you afraid of completely offending my Kong family?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, help me, Your Majesty."

Kong Zhen looked ugly. He didn't expect that he would be tied back again.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have followed.

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Faced with Kong Zhen’s request for help.

King Qilin said nothing.

He knew that Gu Jinnian was trying to re-establish military prestige.

If you intervene yourself, the result will not change much, so it is better to remain silent.

But silence is not fear.

It's not a compromise either.

But another option.

"His Royal Highness."

"Now that King Qilin is here, I think we should focus on the investigation."

"Wang Ping."

"King Qilin is here. What do you know? Tell me quickly. Your son and King Qilin are here to keep your whole family safe."

"If you keep secretive, you won't have a chance to say anything by then."

Zhou He's voice sounded.

He smoothed things over and returned the subject to Eucalyptus.

It's just that these words have different meanings.

Extremely disgusting.

But before Gu Jinnian could say anything, Su Huaiyu suddenly pulled out a long knife, pointed it at Zhou He's mouth and slapped it.

Zhou He's lips were swollen on the spot and several of his teeth were broken.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Su Huaiyu.

Even King Qilin couldn't help but look at Su Huaiyu.

This is a bit harsh.

Even Gu Jinnian had only been slapped before.

Su Huaiyu is really cruel.

His teeth were all broken into pieces. Zhou He was in pain, his veins swelled, his whole body was shaking, and his mouth was full of blood.

"In the case of the Ministry of Punishment, if an adult interrogates you, whoever dares to interrupt will end up like this."

"Master Zhou, you are lucky. This is not the Ministry of Punishment. If it were the Ministry of Punishment, your tongue would have been gone."

"But if anyone dares to interrupt next, Su's tongue cutting speed will definitely be slightly faster than the prince's."

"If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

Su Huaiyu looked very serious.

He was from the Ministry of Punishment. Zhou He's behavior was collusion and threats. Cutting out his tongue was in compliance with the law.

I just thought that because his official position was too high, I could just cut out his tongue, but there would be no chance next time.

Listening to Su Huaiyu's voice.

Gu Jinnian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although this guy is not serious on weekdays, when it comes to running a business, he is really serious and serious.

It takes the presence of such people to intimidate these officials.

Zhou He covered his mouth and was completely speechless this time, tears streaming down his face because it hurt too much.

"Return to my lord."

"The villain really just lied to him. The villain doesn't know why he believes it so much."

"Maybe there is no other way but this."

"Please sir, please be careful."

Wang Ping spoke, knelt on the ground, and cried.

He also had a bit of a mental breakdown.

As much as he was afraid of Gu Jinnian, he was even more afraid of other people.

Got this answer.

Gu Jinnian was a little silent.

It will be different when King Qilin comes.

Wang Ping was a little shaken before, but now he is not shaken at all.

"His Royal Highness."

"The Criminal Department has a special method called soul searching."

"Your Highness, would you like to give it a try?"

Seeing that the situation was tense, Su Huaiyu spoke slowly and told him that there was a secret method for soul searching.

"Can I search his memory?"

Gu Jinnian was surprised. He had heard about the soul-searching technique, but he didn't expect Su Huaiyu to really know it.

"The soul-searching technique cannot search other people's memories."

"It is to make the other party confused and take this opportunity to interrogate him. During this period, what he said must be true."

"It's like Confucianism and Taoism asking questions about one's heart."

"It's just that after searching for the soul, the person will definitely die."

Su Huaiyu spoke up and informed Gu Jinnian of the role of the soul-searching technique.

It's not about directly obtaining the other party's memory.

"good."

"If you seek wealth and kill someone, you will definitely die. Just search for your soul."

"If it is true that he has something to hide, he will be punished by the nine clans."

Gu Jinnian nodded and directly agreed with Su Huaiyu's plan.

In an instant, two voices sounded.

"I'll do it, Your Highness, I'll do it."

"inappropriate."

The first voice was Wang Ping's voice. Hearing that there was a soul-searching technique, he immediately used it. If he didn't use it, the Nine Clans would surely die.

At least you have a chance of survival.

And the second voice was the voice of King Qilin.

He rejected it directly.

"Say it."

Gu Jinnian ignored King Qilin and asked Wang Ping.

"Sir, I do have a token of Zhang Ming's wife and daughter. Wang Yong gave it to me. This matter has something to do with Mr. Bailu Mansion."

Wang Ping opened his mouth and explained everything directly.

At that moment, Gu Jinchang breathed a sigh of relief.

But King Qilin couldn't help but stand up and looked at Wang Ping with an extremely cold look.

"Bold."

King Qilin spoke up, and Su Huaiyu felt bad for a moment.
