After the waiter exited, Xiao Jingxuan also sighed, no matter who he was, he would have to pay the price for his actions.
People who are sentenced to castration are usually those who have committed serious murders, but have extenuating circumstances.
I remember that Ding Weiran discussed this law with himself for a long time. Originally, according to Xiao Jingxuan's intention, the murderer must die.
But Ding Weiran strongly opposed it. In the end, he couldn't resist Ding Weiran, so he agreed to this law. This was to give these people a chance.
Shaking his head, Xiao Jingxuan did not think about this matter and devoted himself to the heavy government affairs.
It was not until the afternoon that Xiao Jingxuan finished handling the government affairs in his hands. After stretching, he was ready to go to the harem to visit Yang Yi.
At this time, Xiao Li, the new secret guard leader, came straight to the study.
"My son, please pay your respects to your father."
"Well, get up."
Among Xiao Jingxuan's many apprentices, not many were given the surname Xiao, and only Xiao Li was adopted as an adopted son.
Even when he was playing in the study room, Xiao Jingxuan would not let him call himself his subordinate, which shows Xiao Jingxuan's love for him.
As Xiao Jingxuan's chief disciple, Xiao Li is not very old, only sixteen years old, but his martial arts talent is the most powerful among his disciples.
"What's the matter? Li'er."
"Going back to my adoptive father, I found out that Hu Lushan of the Ministry of Rites was related to the case of General Huangfu. Among the border generals, there were also more than a dozen generals who were born in Xiaowei who were involved."
"Is there any evidence?"
"Except for Hu Lushan, everyone else has solid evidence."
"Well, the secret order is that Hu Yanzhuo, Lei Ben, Yang Xiong, Ye Xiong, and Wang Xuan are the imperial envoys. Let a few people temporarily hand over the affairs, and then go to Youzhou to jointly try the case. You have people hand over all the evidence to them.
."
"Yes, I will accept the order. What about Hulu Mountain?"
"Send someone to secretly capture the entire Hu Lushan mansion, interrogate them secretly, and then find someone to pretend to be sick. Remember, keep your hands and feet clean. As for Ding Weiran's orphan, hey...send her to Ding Weiran.
Let’s get together.”
"Yes. The child will do it right away."
After saying that, Xiao Li took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jingxuan.
"Father, there is one more thing. This is the defense map of each state carefully drawn by Wei Guo."
Xiao Jingxuan took the silk cloth and looked at it, and found that the defense map in his hand was only the size of an A4 paper, but it recorded a lot of things. It included the military strength, garrison, defense and other information of more than 20 cities in the Yan Kingdom, large and small.
I took a quick look and found that everything was correct, and it was the latest deployment map.
Looking at the defense map in his hand, Xiao Jingxuan felt a storm in his heart.
After calming down, Xiao Jingxuan stood up from the throne, walked to the weapon rack on the side, picked up the only magic weapon on the rack and threw it to Xiao Li.
"This magic weapon has followed me in battles for many years and has gained a great reputation. Now I will give it to you. Don't disgrace it. Go ahead and do it."
Xiao Li looked at the sword in his hand and was extremely excited. This was his adoptive father's personal weapon, a magic weapon that never left his side. He once followed his adoptive father to kill the Man Emperor and defend Yan Wei.
Xiao Li knelt down on his knees, holding the magic weapon in his hand, and said respectfully.
"Don't worry, adoptive father, I will definitely use this magic weapon to defeat the enemies of my adoptive father."
Seeing Xiao Li's excited look, Xiao Jingxuan patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Well, my adoptive father believes in you, so go ahead and do the work."
"My child, please leave."
After Xiao Li withdrew, Xiao Jingxuan became even more excited.
Why? Because the look of the silk cloth reminds Xiao Jingxuan of Huangji Picture Book.
For a long time, Xiao Jingxuan thought that the Huangji Illustration was like this, but then he thought, is the Huangji Illustration really what he sees now?
There are different opinions about the origin of Huangji Illustrated, but one thing is that it is a long time ago.
But can a paper secret book really be preserved for such a long time? Could it be that it was copied later?
Impossible. Although this book is made of paper, the simple atmosphere on it cannot fool me. Even if it is copied, it was copied hundreds of years ago.
Xiao Jingxuan took out the Huangji catalog and began to explore it, even reading every page carefully.
I didn't find anything hidden in it. Could it be that I guessed wrong.
"Come here, bring me a basin of water."
After waiting for the water to be brought, Xiao Jingxuan asked everyone to exit the study, and then soaked the secret books.
There is still no change. The book is just an ordinary book without any invisible fonts.
Impossible, no, I missed one place, that is the spine of the book.
Xiao Jingxuan carefully tore open the cover of the catalog, and saw that there was a piece of gauze as thin as cicada wings slowly melting in the water at the spine, and the gauze was densely covered with words.
Xiao Jingxuan was extremely excited, knowing that he finally got the real Huangji catalog.
Carefully taking out the catalog, rubbing it carefully in his hands, Xiao Jingxuan discovered that the catalog was not a piece of cloth at all, but a bit like the skin of something.
However, now Xiao Jingxuan no longer cares about studying the material of the catalog, but carefully studied the content of the catalog.
After Xiao Jingxuan read all the contents in the Huangji catalogue, he couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of his predecessors.
The key point in the Huangji Illustration is the word "Emperor". What is the emperor? He speaks the constitution of heaven and follows the law when he speaks. He is the only one who is supreme in all the world.
The Huangji Illustration describes in detail how to use the power of luck to train yourself.
However, the Huangji Illustration is an ancient skill after all. With the end of the road to heaven, the power of this set of skills has also been greatly weakened.
However, this set of exercises describes in detail a set of body training exercises, the Holy Emperor's Immortal Body.
According to the Huangji Illustrated Records, this set of exercises is a secret that was not passed down by the ancient Holy Emperor.
After Xiao Jingxuan read the Huangji catalogue, he began to have some thoughts in his heart.
The martial arts I practice now is not systematic, and more of it is pieced together by reading a lot of books.
To be honest, my martial arts skills are full of flaws, but so far, I have not met a real master.
After all, the creation of any set of martial arts requires countless efforts and wisdom from the predecessors. How can I create a unique martial arts if I have only practiced martial arts for twenty years?
But if you want to practice Huangji Tulu, then everything must go back to the starting point.
That means you must give up all your martial arts skills. From now on, martial arts will never have any intersection with you.
This made Xiao Jingxuan difficult to make a decision for a while. He had done it once before, could he do it a second time?
With a difficult decision, Xiao Jingxuan changed into casual clothes, left the palace and came to the street.
I found a restaurant facing the street, asked for a seat by the window, ordered a few side dishes, and drank some wine.
Looking at the busy traffic on the street with drunken eyes, Xiao Jingxuan felt extremely calm at the moment.
After drinking, night began to fall soon, and Xiao Jingxuan dragged his staggering figure out of the restaurant.
After the accompanying pro-army paid the bill, they followed closely behind Xiao Jingxuan.
Looking at the noisy streets and the vendors shouting everywhere, Xiao Jingxuan walked and stopped, and soon came to a prosperous place.
Xiao Jingxuan looked up, and the three characters "Zuixianglou" came into view. Looking at the balcony on the second floor, there were many beautiful women soliciting passers-by.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jingxuan walked directly in. Soon, an old bustard came to Xiao Jingxuan, but he was soon stopped by the soldiers beside him, preventing her from getting closer.
Seeing this, the madam was not surprised. After all, he was greeted every day and no one had ever seen him before, so he said flatteringly.
"This uncle looks very unfamiliar. I wonder if there is any girl he knows well?"
After thinking for a while, Xiao Jingxuan looked at the pro-jun beside him with a slightly drunken look.
I saw the soldier beside me immediately took out ten gold coins and handed them to the madam and said: "A private room, a servant, and a table of food and wine."
After receiving the gold coins, the madam became even more enthusiastic and immediately shouted happily.
"Please come upstairs to your distinguished guests. Please take a seat at Narcissus House. I will ask the little Narcissus to wait on you immediately. Please."
After welcoming Xiao Jingxuan to a private room on the second floor, the two soldiers consciously guarded the door and did not go in.
After Xiao Jingxuan entered the private room, after a while, the maid served wine and food.
Xiao Jingxuan was just about to pour himself a drink when he saw a woman holding a pipa walk in.
After bowing respectfully, he asked softly.
"I wonder what the guest wants to hear? It would be nice for a little girl to play for the guest."
Xiao Jingxuan thought for a while and said.
"Let's play a song called Overlord Disarm."
This is because Xiao Jingxuan does not understand the interesting things in this brothel, and does not know the special meaning of Bawang's armor removal in the brothel.
After looking at Xiao Jingxuan, the Qinghuan looked at Xiao Jingxuan and said with a blushing face: "Young Master, please sit down and the Narcissus will play for you right now."
After saying that, he took the pipa and started playing, but as the woman played, Xiao Jingxuan frowned.
Why is this? The song "Overlord Disarms" not only does not have the feeling of a hero's end at all, but also has a melancholy sound.
After the song ended, Xiao Jingxuan pointed to the opposite side and said.
"I wonder if you can give me a favor, girl, and have a drink with me?"
"Young Master has your orders, but I dare not disobey them."
After Little Narcissus put down her pipa, she slowly came to the table and sat down. She picked up the wine glass, touched it with Xiao Jingxuan, and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, Xiao Jingxuan continued to pour himself some wine. Seeing Xiao Jingxuan's appearance, Little Narcissus asked cautiously.
"Master, is there anything on your mind?"
Xiao Jingxuan looked at the little narcissus and asked.
"How did the girl stoop to this point?"
Facing Xiao Jingxuan's question, Xiao Narcissus didn't want to answer, so he said perfunctorily.
"It's nothing, it's just a hard life."
"It seems that the girl is also a person with stories."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say anything, Xiao Jingxuan didn't care and just continued to drink.
Maybe it was because he saw that there was no lust in Xiao Jingxuan's eyes, or maybe he was lonely and helpless, so the little Narcissus talked about his past.
