The scene took a dramatic turn, and Zhao Zongchang, who had an absolute advantage, was defeated in an instant.
Jiang Yan and Su Kou marveled at Cao's methods, but they were also puzzled. Zhao Zongchang was undoubtedly the most likely to have connections with the Baiyang Sect, but now that Zhao Zongchang was about to die, they still did not show up.
From this point of view, it seems that there is someone else colluding with the Baiyang Sect.
Seeing Zhao Zongchang being turned into a clay sculpture, a large group of crested eagles flew in from mid-air. Cao Li's eyesight went dark, and Zhao Zongchang had disappeared.
"Jiang Yan?"
Cao Li looked at Jiang Gan, as if waiting for an explanation.
"He can't die yet"
"Your Wenfu has too much time to take care of yourself now, so it would be unwise to be our enemy here," Zhao Qingyang said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Zongchang dies or not."
Cao Lili took out a token that was the Emperor Xuan's Order, which made Zhao Zongchang's complexion change drastically. He knew that this token passed down from generation to generation by the royal family was his biggest support now.
"How dare you steal my token?"
Zhao Zongchang didn't even care about his injuries and was about to order someone to take it back. However, in full view of everyone, Cao Li crushed it to pieces with huge finger force.
"This imperial order is a forgery. The real order has long fallen into Qingyang's hands."
"Qingyang, why don't you show the token in your arms for everyone to see?"
Zhao Qingyang touched his pocket and took out an identical token as expected.
Those in the Yu Department and the Forbidden Army were a little strange. The Emperor Xuan's order was absolutely impossible to forge, but now there are indeed two identical ones.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but admire the method used by Cao, but he had already made the fake in just a moment.
No one expected that Cao Yongli would have such a skill. Now that the Great Proclamation has fallen into his hands, it would be better if the people from the Duyu Department and the Imperial Army were not helping each other. If they were to help the evildoer, it would be extremely dangerous.
Zhao Zongchang's face was ashen. He had failed, completely.
"If I hadn't guessed Brother Cao's second enlightenment, I would have been deceived by you. This fake master's enlightenment is truly wonderful and worthy of being an unparalleled enlightenment."
"Fake teacher?"
"Mofu Wushuang is enlightened and a master of counterfeiting. In his hands, he can create fakes of everything that are exactly the same as the genuine ones," Jiang Yan explained.
The people in the Yu Department and the Forbidden Army were talking about it. The abilities and methods shown by Cao Yong did not look like a simple terracotta craftsman. If it was really a forger, it would be explainable.
His identity was revealed, and even Cao Lili's eyes showed a bit of evil.
"It seems that Brother Jiang is determined to have trouble with me."
"I won't talk about whether I want to have trouble with you, but Zhao Zongchang can't die yet. I still have some things I want to check with him."
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, I am very curious now, who fed that poison pill to Emperor Tian Zuo?"
Neither Zhao Qingyang nor Zhao Zongchang knew why they were asking this question at this time. Emperor Tianzuo was dead and all parties should be happy. As for how he died, it didn't really matter.
But this kind of issue that no one pays attention to is very important to Su Kou and even to Jiang Yan.
Su Kou wanted to use this poisonous pill to find out who was secretly colluding with the Baiyang Sect. The Baiyang Sect and Su Kou had a sworn hatred, and Jiang Yan knew very well what kind of evil existence the Baiyang Sect was and how terrifying it was.
Moreover, once the doctrine of cannibalism takes over the world, it will definitely be a bloody storm.
It would be best if Zhao Suixian could be brought to power. Even if he could not, he would never allow anyone supported by the Baiyang Sect to become the Emperor of Daxuan.
"It's Zhao Zhang. He said the poison pill was a spiritual pill, and then tricked me into giving it to my father." Zhao Zongchang knew his situation, so there was no need to hide it.
"Zhao Zhang?"
At this time, Zhao Zhang was hiding behind Zhao Qingyang, and everything was obvious.
Neither Zhao Qingyang nor Cao Lili knew the origin of this poisonous pill, nor did they know that this poisonous pill would be related to the Baiyang Sect.
"It seems that the person behind the scenes is actually His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?"
"I…."
Zhao Qingyang has a hard time explaining that he is indeed the instigator behind the scenes.
Judging from the current situation, Zhao Qingyang is indeed the most suspect, in order to succeed to the throne in a legitimate way and not bear the charge of patricide.
"No need to explain. This matter cannot be explained clearly. If you want to be an emperor, you rely on strength, not words."
Cao Lili knew that if he explained, he would be admitting that he killed Emperor Tianzuo, which would cause a lot of trouble in the future. If he didn't admit it, all the spearheads and evidence would point to Zhao Qingyang, and he would be in a dilemma, so keeping silent would be the best option.
Good choice.
"I think it's best to explain that the poisonous elixir is a treasure of Yakushi Island. After Yakushi Island was destroyed by the Baiyang Sect, this elixir also fell into the hands of the Baiyang Sect."
"Taught by Bai Yang?"
Zhao Qingyang's heart skipped a beat. Anyone from the Eight Prefectures who had any connection with the Baiyang Sect would be regarded as an evil heretic and would be expelled or executed.
Zhao Qingyang closed his eyes and recalled that before Emperor Tianzuo died, Zhao Zhang approached him and offered his surrender.
"Your Highness, I have cleared the obstacles for you to succeed to the throne, and I will not ruin your reputation," Zhao Zhang said.
"What can you do?"
Any proud person will look down on a villain like Zhao Zhang who tends to follow the crowd, but it is also easy to control such a person.
"I have a poison pill. If the eldest prince gives it to His Majesty..." Zhao Zhang had a wicked smile on his face.
Zhao Qingyang did not nod or refuse, but patted him on the shoulder to express his acquiescence. He not only completed the murder with a borrowed knife, but also eliminated a serious trouble in his heart. However, he did not know that this elixir would be related to the Baiyang Sect.
"Zhao Zhang once told me that he wanted to clear the obstacles for me to register, but I didn't know that he could use poison, and I didn't know where the poison pill came from."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Qingyang finished saying this, Zhao Zhang jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Your Highness, you have to follow your conscience. Our Prince Kang is just an idle prince in Daxuan City. It was you who gave me this poison pill and then said you would protect my family's wealth and authority."
"You slandered me!"
There were only two of them present at the time, and there was no third party to provide evidence, so it was difficult for Zhao Qingyang to prove himself.
When Zhao Zhang was about to say something, an ax fell and split him in half. Cao Lili seemed to have done something insignificant.
Moreover, the methods used by Cao were clean and neat. Zhao Zongchang, who had just been rescued by Jiang Yan, was also beheaded by the headless Xingtian. The eldest prince declared that he had never thought of ending his life in such a way.
"A two-faced villain, what he says cannot be believed"
"We can tell whether we believe it or not, but you are quite suspected of killing someone and silencing them."
After learning that Zhao Qingyang might be from the Baiyang Sect, Su Kou spoke in a bad tone.
"How could Qingyang collude with the Baiyang Sect if I, Mo Mansion, were helping me," Bao Yinzhi also explained.
"Someone in the royal family is secretly colluding with the Baiyang Sect. Now there are only two people left in the royal family. Isn't it Zhao Qingyang or me?" Zhao Suixian snorted coldly.
Su Kou and Jiang Yan looked at each other, and both of them had plans in mind.
"It is said that the greatest hero in the world is none other than Jiang Cao. Now that we meet, if we don't give it a try, wouldn't we be living up to this encounter?"
