169 The case of Shangzhu Kingdom and the City Defense Division
Yan Wulu, Zhao Lingxin and others took this cart of dead bodies back.
Lan Yue Tower is too special.
Behind this, there is likely to be a series of extremely bad events that cannot be waited for.
And at the same time.
In a secret alley in the distance, Zhang Chunhua was dressed in a slim-fitting secret guard uniform. She watched quietly as Yan Wulu went as planned, dragging Princess Taiping Zhao Lingxin along with them to deliberately capture the team of carts smuggling dead bodies out of the city in Lan Yue Lou.
"Xia Xia...Xia Xia, please have mercy on me!"
Behind Zhang Chunhua, two city defense captains who had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces were kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.
"We have followed your instructions, Heroine, and asked Lan Yuelou to deliver the corpses that need to be disposed of. If Heroine has any other instructions, we will do our best. Now, I just ask Heroine to spare the little one.
life."
The two captains of the city defense department kept kowtowing as they spoke.
They are also one of the creators of these dead bodies.
They had already been targeted by Yan Wulu.
That day, before the third round of the martial arts examination began, Yan Wulu asked Zhang Chunhua to lead the cavalry guards and capture them on the spot.
If you have control over them, you won't be afraid of not being able to drive them.
What's more, their lives are also in the hands of Zhang Chunhua and Yan Wulu.
"Did you say before that these women were caused by people under King Jin?"
Zhang Chunhua was still watching Yan Wulu leave.
She asked calmly, as if to confirm again.
"Returning to the heroine was all done by supporters of King Jin. It was a gift from Master Qingsi."
"Yes, yes, especially high-level figures like the Commander-in-Chief of the City Defense Department, the Military Marquis of the Jinling Area Garrison, and the former Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Department."
"Both of us are just pawns, how can we be qualified to enter Lanyue Tower?"
Zhang Chunhua turned around slowly and glanced at the two groveling captains.
The two men kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to look at each other directly, as if they were worried that if they remembered each other's appearance, the other party would kill them and silence them.
"Your Majesty, I didn't tell you how to deal with you. In other words, I didn't say that I must kill you."
Zhang Chunhua took out a cold light dagger and looked at it slowly in his hand.
When the two captains heard this, they were overjoyed for a moment and felt that they still had a chance to survive.
When you raise your head, you are preparing to bow again.
Just when he raised his head, a cold light flashed through him.
There wasn't even a trace of blood on Zhang Chunhua's dagger, and the two men's heads gradually fell off.
The blood is like a pillar, and it is long overdue.
Zhang Chunhua took a few steps back slightly. There was no blood stain on the secret guard's uniform. She took the dagger back and said to herself——
"Unfortunately, I am not prepared to let you go."
Divine consciousness confirms that there is no chance that the two of them will survive again.
Zhang Chunhua's figure disappeared into the darkness.
The reason why Zhang Chunhua wanted to kill them was, on the one hand, to maintain absolute confidentiality.
After all, the plan is not absolutely successful, and King Jin still has the power to counterattack, so he must try his best to shift the target to King Yu or others, not himself and the Crown Prince.
Only corpses can be kept absolutely confidential.
On the other hand, Zhang Chunhua was indeed a little angry, especially after he was tortured from these two people about the disgusting habits of the City Defense Department and other supporters of King Jin.
As a woman, Zhang Chunhua cannot tolerate such people.
These two captains of the City Defense Department said that they "did not participate" and were "forced to participate". Oh, their own logic couldn't be justified. How could they still hide it from Zhang Chunhua?
"A worthy death."
…
…
The king of Jin, Zhao Lingcheng, was very brave and powerful.
Among the millions of soldiers in Daqian, the support of Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng was the most unshakable.
"General King", this honorific title, does not just mean that he can fight.
That's how people like to support people who are similar to themselves.
The sergeants didn't care whether Zhao Lingcheng was a good emperor or not. They only knew that Zhao Lingcheng had led them to victory in battles and was a comrade who lived and died together.
...However, a copper coin always has two sides.
The Jinling family, the literati, and even more courtiers did not like this cold-faced and evil general king.
Qingsi, as the first staff member of Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng and the person in charge behind Lanyue Tower, she would naturally find ways to win over the support of Zhao Lingcheng's ministers and the Sixth Division and Sixth Ministries.
So, what kind of wooing is the most convenient and quickest way?
For the vast majority of people in the world, becoming an official is just for the sake of "fame, wealth, sex, and power."
And Qingsi's subordinates have Lan Yue Tower, which is the largest and most famous place of romance in Jinling City.
…
If there is sex trading, there will inevitably be scandals.
In Jinling City, there is no shortage of people who like exciting gameplay... or beasts.
The highest floor of Lanyue Tower is indeed noble and elegant.
But Lan Yue Tower has nine floors, and the other levels in between are full of tricks.
It is normal for several women or men to die.
Just deal with it quietly.
only……
If it can't be dealt with quietly, it will be a bit troublesome.
After all, this is still a place at the feet of the Emperor.
Especially the then Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng, what he despised the most was this so-called "listening to music" place, and if a human life was caused, it would be even more offensive to Qin Shuzheng.
…
Today, Lanyuelou received a letter of concern from the City Defense Department, saying that the doors in the northern city can be opened, allowing them to transport dead bodies out of the city for processing with almost no inspection.
"What a coincidence", the cart carrying the corpse was actually bumped into by Princess Taiping and the Prince of Zhenbei.
I heard that when Princess Taiping saw the corpses, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and her emotions collapsed.
The big man who was escorting the cart was also captured by the Jinyi Division and sent to prison. The result of the interrogation pointed to Lan Yue Tower.
These dead bodies were later examined by specialized doctors.
The result turned out to be much scarier than Yan Wulu originally imagined...
Report to senior management.
Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng was also greatly alarmed by this incident.
As the heir to an aristocratic family who grew up in Jinling, Qin Shuzheng was not unaware of the dirty and dirty things beneath the prosperous surface of Jinling.
Whether it was fraud in martial arts or official corruption, Qin Shuzheng has always tried his best to correct this unhealthy trend.
but……
Qin Shuzheng still underestimated the darkness of human nature, which could reach such an extent.
The words "human face, animal heart, animal attire" all echoed in Qin Shuzheng's mind at this moment.
He couldn't stand it!
I originally thought that Lan Yue Tower was just a place where young men from aristocratic families would listen to music and have sex, but behind the scenes, it has become such an intolerable existence.
Almost at the time of the court meeting that day, Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng directly reported the matter to the emperor in front of all the courtiers.
Zhang Zheng, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, was also recommended by Qin Xiang in front of His Majesty to take charge of investigating this matter.
Zhang Zheng, Mr. Zhang San, known as the "Fanatic".
The Prime Minister of Qin recommended him to preside over this matter, which was destined to carry out a thorough eradication of the dark side of Jinling.
The old emperor Zhao Purui felt that this matter could be investigated.
Maybe, you can help reduce the power of the aristocratic family?
Zhang Zheng was given the "Sword of Shangfang" by the emperor.
"...When you encounter this sword, it's like I'm here in person. I have the right to kill first and then show off."
Zhang Zheng, the Minister of Justice, knelt down in the center of the hall and took the sword, which symbolized the supreme imperial power, with trembling hands.
With His Majesty’s support;
With the support of Prime Minister Qin;
No one can stop Zhang Zheng anymore.
…
Overnight, Jinling City seemed to be enveloped in a ray of light.
This light was extremely dazzling, as if it was enough to pierce all the darkness in an instant.
Yan Wulu didn't expect that it seemed that he no longer needed to intervene in this matter.
Zhang Zheng held the "Sword of Shang Fang". Under his investigation and investigation, starting from the few arrested servants of Lanyue Tower, countless Jinling officials were implicated and dismissed, most of them were supporters of the Jin Dynasty faction.
The city defense department, the garrison, and even the six families.
Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui was ecstatic. He had long been looking forward to the "giant gift from the City Defense Department" promised by Yan Wulu.
But I didn’t expect that it would be such a generous gift!
According to the current method of arresting Zhang San, the "madman within the law", after this incident, even if the King of Jin can save himself, he will no longer have any supporting factions to speak of.
Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui almost died laughing in the palace as he kept praising Yan Wulu.
He even promised Yan Wulu——
"If the prince does not give up, the little king is willing to become brothers with different surnames. In the future, the prince ascends to the throne, and you, the prince, will inherit the throne of Zhenbei. I will also grant you the title of 'Shangzhu Kingdom (1)'!"
"...You and I, brothers, are united as one, and we can be invincible wherever our troops point our finger. Why worry about not being successful! Why worry about the Northern Frontier not being destroyed!"
Yan Wulu's expression was a little frozen at that time, and he only thought in his heart that Zhao Lingrui was probably drunk.
After some peace and quiet, I finally excused myself.
"Zhao Lingrui is more than nine years older than me, almost ten years old. If we really become sworn brothers, wouldn't we have to recognize him as our eldest brother?"
Yan Wulu thought to himself that he still liked being the boss.
…
The residence of the Prince of Jin.
Jin King Zhao Lingcheng was sitting in front of a long eucalyptus. His long hair was not tied with an ancient crown at this moment, but was spread freely. He looked completely different from the cold and rigid person he used to be.
He tilted his head slightly, the corners of his red eyes were like those of a devouring beast, and fire seemed to be emanating from his dark eyes.
In his chest, anger was burning.
He felt like his heart was almost suffocating, he was burning with rage, and his lungs were exploding!
"Tell me, what exactly have you done?!"
Zhao Lingcheng shouted in a low voice.
In front of him, Ji Wenyao, the commander-in-chief of the City Defense Department, a middle-aged greasy man with a big belly, was kneeling tremblingly under the main hall.
Ji Wenyao was frightened by Zhao Lingcheng's words. He was really as timid as a mouse and had grown so big in vain.
"Go back to Jin...Prince Jin, you must save the villain! The villain has done nothing!"
"Did nothing?!"
Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng said, his eyes flashing, and he threw the celadon cup on the long eucalyptus directly onto Ji Wenyao's forehead.
Ji Wenyao was beaten so hard that he screamed and fell to the ground in a miserable state.
"If you hadn't done anything, would that lunatic Zhang San have surrounded the City Defense Department's Yamen with great fanfare and specifically arrested you?!"
"Jin...Prince Jin..."
Ji Wenyao cried loudly. He, a middle-aged man, actually started crying while calling King Jin.
"...Little man, little man, I occasionally went to Lan Yue Tower to play a few times. It was Master Qingsi who asked me to go there before!"
Ji Wenyao said, and he said timidly: "Little man, I, the little man, only played with forty or fifty women in total. Moreover, most of them were still alive in the end, not all of them were killed.
.”
"...His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I am very loyal to you! You must save me!"
When Jin King Zhao Lingcheng heard this, he grabbed his hair with one hand. He almost went crazy, "Idiot! Idiot who can even enter the [Classical Pavilion]!"
"...This Lao Shizi Lan Yue Lou!"
"...I asked Qingsi to pay attention to it a long time ago, but she just likes to do this!"
Zhao Lingcheng also no longer cared about his image as a prince, and just called himself himself in the army as before.
Zhao Lingcheng knew that at the moment when the Dongchuang incident happened, everything seemed to have been undone.
He was also increasingly dissatisfied with Qingsi.
He had already begun to be dissatisfied with Qingsi a long time ago.
Especially in recent times, Qingsi's whereabouts have become more and more suspicious. Even after such a big event, no one was seen.
"His Royal Highness King Jin."
Next to Zhao Lingcheng, Yi Junhan, who was also a staff member, was dressed in white and continued in a low voice: "... This Ji Wenyao still needs you to deal with it first."
Seemingly seeing King Jin gradually losing control of his emotions, Yi Junhan also reminded him at the right time.
"Now, Zhang Zheng has been arresting people everywhere for investigation. Behind him is the support of His Majesty and Prime Minister Qin."
Yi Junhan continued his analysis——
"...and Prince Yu is also eyeing us with covetous eyes."
"...It's time to wait without delay!"
Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng was a little absent-minded.
During this period of time, Yi Junhan helped Zhao Lingcheng solve several schemes of King Yu and others, and there were already signs of taking over Qingsi's position as "the number one counselor".
Zhao Lingcheng nodded slightly.
Yi Junhan stepped forward and said to Ji Wenyao——
"Mr. General Ji, His Highness the King of Jin will never abandon his subordinates. Please return to the city defense department office first. Remember, even if Zhang Zheng comes to you in person with the 'Shang Fang Sword', you must not
fear!"
"... Just insist that you are not guilty. Leave the rest to His Highness Prince Jin and Jun Han."
When Ji Wenyao heard this, he was overjoyed, as if he had taken a reassurance.
He kowtowed and said: "Ji Wenyao, thank you, King Jin, for your great kindness! Thank you, Mr. Yi, for your great kindness!"
…
Information that can currently be released——
(1), Shangzhu Kingdom. The highest honorary title in the Daqian Dynasty. Historically, only famous ministers and generals who "supported the tide before it fell, and saved the building before it collapsed" were qualified to receive this title, and the position was extremely respected.
And because of the utmost respect, this title is mostly awarded to the deceased, and few ministers can be awarded the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom" while alive.
Since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty a hundred years ago, the only person alive who has been awarded the title of "Shangzhu Kingdom" is Xiao Tianzuo, a former military general.
