Chapter 642: The King of Shu was taken advantage of?
As the call ended, Zi Jinchan's eyes slowly closed.
Qin Shaoyou handed it back to Cen Biqing.
If such a supernatural item is left with Cen Biqing, even if it is discovered by people from the Shu Palace, there will not be too much suspicion.
Because the relationship between Cen Biqing and Zuo Qianhu is that they are both superior and subordinate, master and apprentice, and even a bit like father and daughter.
If Qin Shaoyou had brought a supernatural item that could communicate with Zuo Qianhu at any time, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the people in the Shu Palace, but if it were Cen Biqing, the people in the Shu Palace would think it was reasonable.
He even came up with many stories. For example, Zuo Qianhu also suspected that Qin Shaoyou had the ability to "conquer the gods", so he sent Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing to monitor him closely, etc.
"Those things you just heard, keep them deep in your heart and don't tell anyone."
Qin Shaoyou glanced at Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youyi and Cen Biqing, and warned them in a deep voice.
"You have all memorized the confidentiality regulations of the Demon Suppression Department. You should know the consequences of leaking secrets."
Zhu Xiucai immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, we will strictly keep the secret."
Cen Biqing and Cui Yougui also nodded repeatedly.
However, after Cui Yougui promised not to leak the secret, he couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "Master Qin, what did you guess from the conversation between the people in Prince Shu's Mansion? You and Zuo Qian
There are two people in this household, and they are not monks. How can they talk in a arrogant manner, and what they say is unclear, which makes me feel that I have heard it, but it feels like I have not."
Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "You just said that you remember the confidentiality regulations very well, how could you forget it so quickly? Don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask."
Zhu Xiucai pulled Cui Yougui and made a joke first: "The monk is guarding outside the house, he is not a good guy."
Then he said seriously: "On this matter, you just listen to me and don't ask any questions."
Cui Youyou looked at Qin Shaoyou, then at Zhu Xiucai, frowned and muttered: "Why do I feel that you all know some secrets, but I don't?"
"It's nothing. You have this free time to think about it. Why don't you think about it. When the operation to close the Shu Palace begins, how will you behave so that you can behave well in front of people from the Zhouzhen Demon Division and the Jingzhen Demon Division headquarters?
I’ll show off to you and make the Jade Emperor Temple famous!”
It has to be said that Zhu Xiucai now has a very clear understanding of Cui Yougui's fate.
His words immediately successfully diverted Cui Youyou's attention, so that he no longer struggled with what Qin Shaoyou discovered from the conversation between the people in the Shu Palace, but really started to think about what he should do to close the net.
How to express it.
The people from the Yizhou Town Yaosi Division were fine. It was not like Cui Youyi had never shown off in front of them, but the people who came from the capital were different.
That group of people will definitely return to the capital after the closing operation is over, and they might be able to see his master.
When the time comes, those few people will help him say a few nice words in front of his master, so that when he sees his master again next time, he will be able to speak more forcefully.
Zhu Xiucai pushed Cui Youying away.
When leaving, he whispered to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, Master Qianhu is right. These things are not something we can investigate...at least not for the time being. You should keep it in your heart."
"I know." Qin Shaoyou nodded and replied, and took a deep look at Zhu Xiucai. He said that he was indeed a scholar. He should have guessed some situations, but he didn't know how much he guessed. It was different from what he guessed.
After Qin Shaoyou sent away Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youyi and Cen Biqing, he sorted out his thoughts and doubts in the room.
After listening to the secret conversations of the people in the Shu Palace, Qin Shaoyou connected what they said with various clues and intelligence he had previously obtained, and came up with a bold speculation:
The King of Shu was taken advantage of!
And the one who uses him is most likely the current emperor!
According to Qin Shaoyou’s speculation, this is likely to be the case:
Valley
An alchemist got the elixir and presented it to the emperor. Because there was more than one elixir, and the emperor had been fooled before, he found someone to test the elixir.
As for why the Crown Prince of Shu was found, this is a question for the time being. It needs to be seen whether some new clues can be found in the future to solve this question, but there must be some clues in it.
If the King of Shu is willing to agree, it should be because the emperor has made some promises to him, such as passing the throne to the King of Shu after he becomes an immortal and a god.
After all, the current emperor has no heirs, and all the princes he gave birth to died in infancy. Zhang Xiaoni, who is suspected to be the prince, was taken away from the capital by Lao Zhangtou many years ago. Whether the emperor knows that such a person exists is a question.
This makes sense why the King of Shu firmly believed that he, who was not at the top of the ranking list, could take the high position.
All because the current emperor painted a cake for him.
However, things did not develop as smoothly as King Shu expected.
There was something wrong with that elixir. After the prince of Shu took it, not only did he not become an immortal, but he died suddenly and transformed into a zombie.
The King of Shu was afraid that he would lose his son and his throne, and the alchemist who offered the elixir was also afraid that if the emperor found out, he would chop off his head or even kill his nine tribes.
So the two grasshoppers on the same rope decided to hide the news that there was something wrong with the elixir.
They told the emperor that after the prince of Shu took the elixir, it would take time to absorb and refine it before he could see the effect.
While sending the zombie prince to the underground of Shuanggui Village, he tried to use the Fusang ghost tree to train the zombie prince into a high-level zombie such as flying zombies, not turning into bones, and corpse-laying zombies.
Zombies that have reached this level not only have great strength, but also look similar to living people, so they are suitable for pretending to be gods.
And if this is really the case, then the Fuso ghost tree under Shuanggui Village should have been discovered by the King of Shu very early.
Even before the King of Shu purchased wood and stone materials, he planned to build an underground palace for himself there, so that he could enjoy the nourishment of the Fusang Ghost Tree after death and cultivate himself into a high-level zombie...
Based on this situation, it can be inferred that the reason why the King of Shu was willing to recruit the Spider Demon Lord with a high-ranking official and a generous salary, in addition to asking him to help get children for the zombie prince, was probably because he was interested in the Spider Demon Lord's ability in human experiments, and wanted to
This will make the zombie prince more like a human being...
No, it should be said that it made the zombie prince more like a god, thus hiding the truth from the emperor.
In this way, it makes sense that the King of Shu wants to kill Zhang Xiaoni.
If Zhang Xiaoni is really a prince, as long as he is alive, the possibility of the King of Shu inheriting the throne will be greatly reduced. Even if he manages to trick the "immortal" and hide it from the current emperor, he may not be able to take the throne.
Because even if the current emperor is willing, the officials of the imperial court may not agree.
Zuo Qianhu must have had some similar speculations, so he told Qin Shaoyou to keep these speculations in his heart and not tell others, let alone investigate.
Because the secrets behind these are indeed not something he can investigate alone...
Of course, these are just Qin Shaoyou's guesses based on existing clues.
Whether the truth is like this or not, Qin Shaoyou dare not vouch for it.
What he has to do now is to stabilize the people in the Shu Palace first, and then kill them all once the reinforcements arrive!
Regardless of whether the King of Shu was plotted against him or not, he must die.
On the one hand, he committed numerous crimes, enough to kill him several times.
On the other hand, Qin Shaoyou also remembers his kindness very much.
