Chapter 696: Hypocrisy and truth, the disappearance of the luck barrier
"If Emperor Jin really turns into a monster, everyone in the world will stop him, and Li will be no exception."
"But if it hadn't been for...the queen's move, please forgive Li for being unable to do anything."
"This matter ends here. There is no need to mention the so-called marriage... Miss Dugu, please come back."
Seeing Dugu Qing's helpless look, Li Changan also sighed softly,
"Since the queen doesn't want to, then just keep your cultivation level at half-step to the third level. Wouldn't it be okay?"
"Although a great chaos is coming, a half-step third-level person should be able to protect himself to a certain extent."
"Besides, she is a queen. Regarding the state, no matter how dangerous the Jin country is, she will not be easily put in danger."
"It's just that from now on, I have to become a canary and stay in the palace with peace of mind."
Duguqing looked at Li Changan and said, "My sister and I can only persist for half a year at most before we will be affected by the soul of the Moon God and enter the third level."
"You can't suppress it just by trying to suppress it..."
She slowly walked towards Li Changan, with a fragile look in her eyes,
"Once you reach the third level, the soul of the Moon God will turn from dark to bright and can no longer be concealed."
"Master Li Mai believes that by then, it will still be our turn to make the final decision on matters?"
Li Changan's expression froze slightly, and he calmly took two steps back to distance himself from Dugu Qing.
Unexpectedly, the moonlight was flowing under Duguqing's feet, and she quietly appeared in front of Li Changan. She raised her head slightly and stared into Li Changan's eyes.
"Master Li Mai is willing to watch helplessly as the woman who once almost discussed marriage with you was snatched away by Emperor Jin?"
Li Changan really had one head but two big heads. He smiled helplessly and said, "What Kong Sheng said is indeed true."
Duguqing took another small step forward, with some pleading in her stubbornness, "Help me, help us."
The pavilion became quiet, but the atmosphere was indescribable.
After a long time, Li Changan turned around and said, "Emperor Jin and I have other things to settle. The battle in the north and the fall of the thirty-six cities in the north all pointed towards the clan mansion."
"My father and brother died in Juyong City."
"So, if you don't come to me, I will settle this matter with Emperor Jin."
He waved his hand,
"Your plan is too petty. Even if I wanted to get involved in dealing with Emperor Jin, I would never use this method."
"Miss Dugu, please come back. Please forgive me for sending you off so far."
When Duguqing heard that Li Changan had the idea of dealing with Emperor Jin, he immediately looked happy, then bowed slightly,
"Thank you Lord Li Mai."
"Little girl, please leave."
After she left the pavilion, the soft voice reached Li Changan's ears.
"If Master Li Mai wants to, the little girl's suggestion just now still stands."
"With the complete soul of the Moon God, is it true that Master Li is not tempted?"
Li Changan twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and disappeared into the pavilion.
…
The terrifying atmosphere in the capital has not ended, but has become more and more depressing as time goes by.
The storm is coming, and dark clouds have already enveloped the capital and even the entire Jin Dynasty.
No one knows what happened.
All I know is that the court is in chaos and the government's decrees are unclear. At this moment, the court is reduced to a blind man and a lame man.
Everyone in the court is in danger, and they don't know when they will be in danger.
The next day,
Thirteen more families were wiped out.
It was still the home of dignitaries, and ordinary people were not affected at all.
Moreover, at the same time, indictments for the entire family that had been wiped out began to appear in the capital.
For a time, the whole city was in uproar.
"Where did this righteous man come from? He is actually punishing corrupt officials and those who are rich and unkind!"
"When Uncle Zhongyong was still here, we had already mobilized a group of them. I didn't expect there to be so many."
"Shocking, shocking..."
On each indictment sheet, there is a picture of Tengu eclipsing the moon, which makes people wonder.
Li Changan also got one and couldn't help but sigh, "These dog-killing warriors are really decisive."
"The big man is also planning the court to bring all these dogs to justice, but it still takes time to collect the evidence so that they have no choice but to lose their heads."
"Unexpectedly, Tengu directly did all these things."
"It was still done with the image of a righteous man who eliminates harm to the people."
Gu Weidao on the side said, "After all, Dahan's foundation is still shallow, and it is not a specialized organization of dead soldiers."
"The Jin tribe is the main body and supports the other tribes."
"Even if it's the espionage department, it's not that extreme. It's more about gathering intelligence."
"This Tengu's actions are too extreme and have no scruples. It seems that the person behind them is finally coming to the world."
Li Changan put the incriminating document aside, "Master, who do you think is behind the Tengu?"
Gu Weidao twirled his beard and said,
"The matter is now very clear. That person doesn't even hide anymore. Who else can it be except the one in the palace?"
"The only thing that makes people worried is that this person is so confident. He probably has absolute confidence in his own cultivation strength."
"At least start at the second level, or even the first level is possible!"
Li Changan couldn't help but feel troubled, "I'm afraid that a simple second grade is not enough for him to have such confidence."
"At least it's a second-grade civil and military one. Otherwise, if there are other second-grade people in Jin Dynasty, wouldn't he worry about being besieged?"
"If we reach the second level of both civil and military disciplines, the disciple can still have a slight chance of winning, but if we reach the first level... we have no chance of winning."
The pressure of a man behind the scenes who no longer hides his appearance has to come to the stage in person. It is difficult to express in words.
Especially when it is about to come out and the world cannot figure out the root cause, the pressure is the most intense.
If you can know its strength, you will at least have some confidence in your heart.
But now in this situation, I don't know anything, I only know that he is about to be born, and it is really difficult to deal with it.
There is no other way but to wait quietly for its arrival.
It is not safe to leave the capital.
The Fourth Hospital and the First Prison are already the safest places at present. If something happens here, there will be no safe place in the entire Jin Dynasty.
The development of the situation did not stop there.
Some people in the capital also received news from other places.
It turns out that not only the capital, but also the 19 prefectures of the Jin Dynasty, every place is being liquidated every day.
Corrupt and bribed officials and local tyrants and evil gentry who plundered the people were exterminated one after another.
And there are also the indictments, which are distributed locally.
For a time, people everywhere were greatly encouraged.
But all those officials, wealthy businessmen, were as silent as a cicada, and their voices were trembling.
I was afraid that on any given night, the killer would appear from nowhere and wipe out the whole family.
Across the country, families are being exterminated every day, but instead of panicking, the local people are delighted.
Everyone is discussing which family will be wiped out next.
Such a happy event has improved the luck of all parts of the Jin Kingdom.
Li Changan and Gu Weidao also received news from Han tribesmen in various places.
"Purge the officials, wealthy businessmen, and gather the hearts of the people." Li Changan said, "Our Emperor of Jin has made a big decision."
"It seems that he also knows that when the survival of the human race is critical, the most effective way to gather people's hearts is to kill those who have oppressed the people."
"But...why didn't I see this Jin Emperor return the wealth and money stolen by corrupt officials, rich and evil gentry to the local people?"
He placed the information in his hand on the candlelight and let the flames devour the paper.
"If the Jin Dynasty hadn't been in dire straits for so many years."
"I really think that our Jin Emperor will be a good emperor who makes decisions for the people."
There was a mocking smile on Li Changan's lips,
"Aren't these guys who are plundering people's wealth and wealth the same dogs he let out in the first place?"
"Let these dogs plunder the people, but most of the plunder will fall into the hands of the imperial court."
"These dogs have become the object of hatred for the people and have diverted the most direct contradiction."
"Send a few scholars as mouthpieces to spread the dangers of corrupt officials to the common people, as well as the helplessness of the imperial court being too high and the emperor being too far away to cover everything."
"Let the people regard local officials, wealthy businessmen as enemies."
"When the time is right, take the dog out and beat it to death in front of the people."
"The people were angry, so he would eat these dogs and wipe them clean, leaving no bones or residue left."
"It not only avoids directly plundering the people and causing them to hate the imperial court, but also can gather people's hearts from time to time."
"Why not?"
He opened the door and window and looked at the blue sky,
"But the people just uttered bad words, but the lost food, money, and even the lives lost will never be recovered..."
"Just like this, they will still be happy..."
"In every era, the common people are the simplest and the most pitiful, but those high-ranking figures never regard these common people as human beings."
"Obviously the people support the country's imperial court, but those big shots only think of ways to plunder more and more from the people."
"Finally, treat the common people as monkeys and play tricks on them."
"Seeing the common people being easily toyed with by them, and then smiling again is like squeezing out the last bit of value."
"These guys don't think they are human beings, but firmly believe that they are gods."
"But in my eyes, he is a complete beast."
Li Changan slowly clenched his fists, with a cold tone in his tone, "I will personally break the bones of these beasts from beginning to end, bit by bit."
Gu Weidao looked at Li Changan's back with emotion and relief.
…
again day,
The whole country was shocked.
The three prefectures in the north were ablaze with wolf smoke.
The smoke that shot straight into the sky was clearly visible thousands of miles away.
All Wenchang steles and Wude steles in the Jin Dynasty shine with dazzling brilliance.
A piece of news spread throughout Jin Dynasty in an instant.
Countless people's hearts suddenly stopped.
Immediately, he was completely swallowed up by the overwhelming fear.
