"Hahaha, now that things have happened, I just think it's ridiculous that you, the Fan family, have worked hard and achieved great results, and you have stayed in the frontier with harsh environment all your life.
And our Zuo family has been living a luxurious life that you can’t imagine, and now we have the same fate. Don’t you think we make more money than you?”
Fan Chenggang was speechless and lowered his head without saying a word.
The person who was quarreling with him was named Zuo Wenli. He was the grandson of Prime Minister Zuo back then, and he is now old.
"Okay, you surnamed Zuo, your family is like that. You cover up all day just to pretend to be an upright official. Is this considered a luxurious life?
This king has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and there is no one to control him. That’s how he lives a luxurious life..."
The two people started quarreling with each other as they talked and compared their lives.
Xia Po was stunned when he heard about using cicada wings to wipe his butt, what gold was used as decoration, and what kind of amazing antiques he had at home.
He has been wandering in the world for four years and has lived in two super wealthy families in Kyoto for decades.
I thought I was very knowledgeable, I had seen everything, or at least heard about it, and I was shocked by the extravagant life of these two people.
I'm not shocked by how good their lives are, but I'm shocked by the fact that in today's world, people starve to death every day, and most people don't have enough to eat.
Under such circumstances, one can still maintain such a luxurious life.
All I can say is that it's outrageous.
Through the conversation between the two people, Xia Po probably guessed their identities.
One is the previous head of civil servants, the Prime Minister Zuo Wenli, and the other is Prince Lieping in the palace, Liu Ren, who is of the same generation as Liu Quan.
The reason Zuo Wenli was imprisoned here is obvious. It was because the current emperor Liu Yuan was afraid that the Zuo family would rebel, so he had the Zuo family killed.
I heard that after the Zuo family was settled, the Zuo family's money was equivalent to more than ten times the Tianyuan Dynasty's treasury income in recent years, which directly shocked the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
The reason why Liu Ren was arrested was entirely because he wanted to die.
Originally, he was just a laid-back prince who was doing nothing all day long and posed no threat to anyone's interests.
You can absolutely lie down until you die of old age.
As the saying goes, it feels good when it's bad for a while, and it feels good as long as it's bad.
In other words, he can enjoy himself until he dies of old age.
But this guy didn't want to, he insisted on seeking death.
Not long after Liu Yuan came to power, he killed many princes and princes who threatened him.
He only left a few with whom he had a relatively good relationship when he was young for his own enjoyment.
Among them is Liu Ren, the bad guy.
Originally this was nothing, at most it was just a matter of living in fear every day, but as time went by, this Liu Ren became more and more weird.
As long as someone does something slightly wrong, he will find a way to kill that person.
As a result, the few surviving members of the royal family were either abused as slaves or died suddenly.
Seeing the relatives around him die one after another, he felt that he needed to do something.
So he began to liaise with some civil and military officials to discuss overthrowing him and replacing him with an emperor.
The result is already here. He will not do anything after lying flat for a lifetime, and the plan will soon be known.
And he is also imprisoned here, and will be beheaded in public tomorrow along with the two super aristocratic families.
These three people include a chief civil servant, a chief military officer, and a clown...no, they are nobles.
If the three of them were not locked up here, they could definitely cause quite a stir outside...
Ignoring the quarrel between the two guys, Xia Po then asked Fan Chenggang.
"Do you know what the specific strength of that dog emperor is? How can he have so much energy?"
After hearing Xia Po's words, Fan Chenggang fell into thinking.
He had met Liu Yuan before, and the cold aura on him was too depressing.
It's hard to describe that feeling, it's like you're not facing a person, but a poisonous snake with huge venom...
The reason why Liu Yuan was able to rise to the top at the speed of light was not only because of his ruthless methods, but also because of his extraordinary strength.
In the face of absolute strength, those intrigues and intrigues seem to be just a fool's errand, without any practical significance.
After thinking for a long time, he still shook his head.
"I don't know, but it must be above a grandmaster. Although I have not reached the legendary grandmaster realm, a good friend of mine has.
He didn't even last half a stick of incense in the hands of that dog emperor."
Kill the martial arts master instantly?
In fact, the reason why Xia Po didn't take action immediately was because he was afraid of Liu Yuan's strength.
The world is full of all kinds of opportunities, and anything outrageous can happen.
What if Liu Yuan had acquired some great inheritance and had some strength that subverted imagination, and he wanted to take action, wouldn't that be courting death?
For the sake of his most precious life, he did not want to take any risk of being killed.
That's why he came here to inquire.
When he first arrived in Kyoto, he used the clairvoyance talisman to observe Liu Yuan.
The distance was too far to check the other party's panel, but just by looking at it, it reminded him of something.
That’s the magic cultivator!
It's a demonic cultivator! A demonic cultivator!
There are indeed demonic techniques in the secular world. For example, several techniques practiced by Xia Po, almost all of them are not good things.
But the demonic ways in the secular world and the demonic ways in the world of cultivation are completely incomparable.
What can the devil do in the ordinary world?
At most, it will make your body weak, skin ulcers and so on.
But once you practice the demonic path in the world of cultivation, you will be marked by strange marks.
These marks are called magic marks in the world of cultivation. There are different opinions on whether the magic marks are good or bad.
Some say it's good and some say it's bad.
But no matter what others say, the greatest use of the magic seal is to identify demons.
In order to cover up their own demonic seals, demon cultivators in the world of cultivation will use various methods to cover up their demonic seals.
And when he saw Liu Yuan that day, he happened to see the large black spot on his face.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that this might be the hidden magic mark.
Of course, it is impossible for monks in the world of cultivation to use such rubbish methods to cover the magic seal, but this is the mortal world.
Even if he is a demon cultivator, he cannot be a high-level demon cultivator, so it makes sense that he can only use this low-level method to block the demon seal.
Even though he is now basically invincible in the mortal world, facing a suspected monk, he is still a demonic cultivator...
He didn't dare to take the risk.
Although he didn't dare to confront Liu Yuan head-on, he still dared to hide behind the scenes and use various means to get to know Liu Yuan.
At this time, Zuo Wenli noticed Fan Chenggang's "talking to himself" again and joked.
"So this is the only courage the arrogant Generalissimo has? He was so frightened that he lost consciousness. Come and tell us, who are you talking to?"
I have to say, this guy has a really good mentality.
Although he is locked in a cage and will be beheaded tomorrow, he still does not forget to have some fun for himself.
After this guy said it, he started to laugh. He stopped laughing, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Because he heard a faint sound in his ears.
"Don't talk about how good your life is. Your Zuo family has been plotting rebellion since your grandfather's generation.
It took decades of planning and four generations of hard work, but now it falls short. Where do you think you can get better?"
