Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager was a feudal empire. Her society was backward and she lacked human resources.
In the current empire, there was no such thing as acting cute with ill intentions.
Everyone only felt that General Shentse's tone was asking for a beating.
"My lord, you're finally here. Baobao, baobao feels so wronged …"
As this cry of grievance and grievance was heard, the silent Jupiter Sword Palace was suddenly filled with muffled groans. The simple swordsmen were shocked by the thick skin of an important official of the imperial court. Their saliva surged and choked upon hearing this cry of grievance. If not for the fact that they felt that it was too rude, the floor of the Sword Palace would have been covered with several dozen kilograms of filth.
Lord Bao's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He had become a true black-hearted Bao.
The capital governor's sharp gaze swept across the faces of the Celestial Origin generals as he laughed coldly in his heart. Motherf * cker, your subordinates are all here. As long as you give the order, the heavens will collapse for you. What are you feeling wronged about? Are you done causing a ruckus and now you're here to pretend to be obedient?
However, he could only criticize in his heart. These words could not be said out loud. He coldly said, "General, you are an important official of the imperial court. Please be more dignified."
As the capital governor, he had a wealth of experience in handling cases. The first thing he had to do when dealing with an incident was to fully understand the situation. As an acquaintance of Sun Lang, he knew that if he wanted to understand the situation, he could not ask him first. Otherwise, he would definitely receive an incomparably twisted testimony.
Thus, he took a deep breath and calmly said, "Is Lord Sword Attendant present?
This official is the capital governor, Bao Xiren. I am under the orders of the emperor to guard the capital. Tonight's incident has caused quite a stir. According to my duties, I should ask about the cause … "
"Alright, enough with the bureaucratic jargon. You administrative people just have too many trivial procedures." Sun Lang impatiently raised his hand. "Reporting to Mayor Bao!
I have an important matter to report to the organization! "
Bao Xiren glanced at him. "General, please step to the side for now. This official wants to …"
Sun Lang placed his hand by his mouth and opened it like a loudspeaker. In a very subtle tone, he shouted, "Hey!
Can you hear me?
Lord Bao!
I'll tell you a secret!
The Nation-protecting Sword Saint wants to kill Ling Muli, and he wants to frame me! "
Lord Bao could not control himself and spat out a mouthful of saliva. His calm and unruffled aura was instantly shattered. It was not his fault that he was not shrewd enough. Anyone who heard such a thing would be stunned to the point of tears. He asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Sun Lang shrugged. "I think I've already made myself very clear."
Yes, of course he understood. However, Bao Xiren felt that his brain wasn't enough. He could hear every word Sun Lang said clearly, but when these words were put together, he couldn't understand it at all. The Nation's Sword Saint was framing Sun Lang?
What was going on?
He subconsciously looked at Sun Lang. Although this kind of groundless speculation was rude, he instinctively began to suspect that this was another scheme of Sun Lang's.
The Capital Governor's tone was somewhat skeptical. "This … could there be a misunderstanding?"
Sun Lang's face was filled with anger. He said in a sharp tone, "Lord Bao, what do you mean?
Are you suspecting that I directed and acted in this play?
I've been having fun at the Copper Sparrow Terrace every day. I've seen three of the best girls in the capital every day. Why would I come here at night to frame the Nation-protecting Sword Saint? "
He pointed at "Ling Muli" and shouted, "Look at him!
The Wood Sword Saint's coffin is flying away!
Don't tell me that I went to the underworld to bring Little Smart back just to direct this show? "
Bao Xiren and the others were shocked again. It was one thing to hear the loudspeaker, but it was another to see the dead come back to life with their own eyes. The official document said that the Wood Sword Saint had died in the Great Barren Mountain. It was indeed a scalp tingling.
Could it be that the dead really came back to life?
No, it couldn't be.
Everything in the world had a limited lifespan. This was fate. Even if it was an incomparably powerful master of a generation, even if it was an incomparably honorable emperor, it was completely impossible to escape from this fate … In the face of death that everyone was destined to experience, powerful divine abilities and endless power were all useless.
A mortal body was dead, so how could it possibly come back to life?
The long years of criminal investigation had made the four famous detectives become firm materialists.
In their early years, they worked in the Six Fan School and handled countless strange cases. There was no lack of scenes of vengeful ghosts and malicious ghosts killing people. They were really experienced and had seen too many. However, after in-depth investigation and careful reasoning, the layers of fog dispersed, and the mysteries were solved step by step. When all the truth finally came to light, everyone would find that all the cases related to ghosts and spirits had a common point.
The so-called vengeful ghosts coming back to life for revenge was not fate, but a plot by people!
Without exception.
Their sharp and solemn eyes fell on the "Spiritual Wood Li".
Ke Nan, Di Huaiying, Song Huifu, and Bao Xiren, the four famous detectives who used to be famous in the Six Fan School, looked at the Wood Sword Saint who had come back to life at the same time.
They didn't believe that this man had come back from the netherworld at all.
But their hearts sank at the same time.
This was a plot by people.
Who was behind the plot that made the owner of the holy sword fake his death and hide in the world for two years?
But they didn't want to think about it anymore.
Bao Xiren's hands, which were hidden behind his back, slowly clenched.
Yes, if everything today was a plot directed and performed by Sun Lang, how did he find the Wood Sword Saint who had been dead for a long time?
Then, the answer was obvious.
In the most honorable place in the capital city of this country, the center of the world, the supreme monarch of Houtu stood on the highest peak, controlling everything with the world as a chessboard.
As the Sovereign of Man, he was rich and had an endless supply of chess pieces.
Even the Wood Sword Saint, who was one in a million, had to follow his orders obediently without hesitation, hiding his name, and faking his death until now?
What was the truth behind what had happened tonight?
The Four Famed Hunters felt waves of chills, as well as a faint tiredness.
A gentleman would die for his bosom friend. The ambitious and hot-blooded officials were willing to dedicate their talents and time to the monarch and fight for the country and the world. But the reality was often far from the imagination. They would eventually find that this was a dark world. Sometimes, the monarch was not blinded by the treacherous officials. Sometimes … the emperor himself was a vicious, selfish, and despicable idiot.
The famous detectives sighed helplessly in their hearts.
They were chosen by the Sovereign King to become the bridgehead against Sun Lang. But it was also because of this reason that in the battle of wits and courage with Sun Lang, they increasingly discovered the dark side of the Sovereign King that no one knew about.
Now, it was just another multiple-choice question.
Sun Lang looked at Bao Xiren and repeated his idea, "I want to confront the Sword Saint face to face … His Majesty must be the arbiter, and the officials in the court must be present for the trial."
It was just another multiple-choice question.
Bao Xiren's heart thumped hard.
No, no, his political instinct as a minister gave him the fastest answer.
This kind of thing could not be made big and could not be made public. The people needed stability, and the country needed face. If it was made public, there would be a lot of trouble among the people, and rumors would spread everywhere. Even the Western Yi would laugh at it!
But then, Bao Xiren, the scholar of Lu County, raised an objection.
Should he continue to hide it?
Should he pretend to be peaceful?
Should he turn a blind eye?
How long will he delay and hide it? What is His Majesty doing? How far will Sun Lang go? Is there really no compromise between the two sides?
Will the open struggle and veiled struggle end in the fire of war?
What … can I do?
For a moment, Bao Xiren only felt a severe headache. Sun Lang's clamor, Su Wei's persuasion, and the jeering of the generals of Tianyuan were all in a mess, echoing in his ears.
In the distance, people shouted and horses neighed. The second official edict came hurriedly. In such a short time, two waves of people from the Forbidden Palace had come. People understood that His Majesty in the palace was anxious.
This matter … was indeed very strange.
This time, it was Feng Yongting, an old acquaintance of Sun Lang. He held the bright yellow edict and trotted over. He did not care about the interests of the imperial family and directly said, "General, Sword Saint of Spirit, His Majesty has decreed that the two of you should quickly enter the palace to see His Majesty. Do not make this matter worse!"
Sun Lang said angrily, "Nonsense!
This matter is not related to the imperial family!
Don't forget that His Majesty rules the world with us!
Today, the important officials of the foreign court, the Wood Sword Saint, and the Nation-guarding Sword Saint are all involved. The military officials of the foreign court, the sages of the Sword Palace, and the officials of the Imperial Treasury should be summoned to discuss this matter. If there is a mistake, we should be punished. If there is a conspiracy, we should be investigated. If there is a storm, we should be in the same boat. What is His Majesty trying to do? "
Feng Yongting looked as if he was burning with anxiety. He was also very confused, but he knew his duty. He could only bite the bullet and try to persuade him. "General, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss. This matter involves a lot, and it should be done slowly. His Majesty invited you into the palace to discuss, so he must have an idea. You should at least leave some dignity for the imperial family..."
"F * ck you!"
General Shentse scolded again, "The imperial family's dignity is one thing, but I don't want it?
I have just been called out in public. Once the sun rises, there will be countless rumors directed at me. You want me to focus on the big picture and pretend that nothing has happened?
What kind of f * cking logic is this?
What kind of f * cking world is this? Should honest people be the ones to suffer?
Whose ancestral graves have we dug up? "
Feng Yongting said with a bitter face, "I'm just a servant. Even if you have difficulties, it's useless to tell me. His Majesty is wise and powerful. He will certainly understand your painstaking efforts and give you a satisfactory explanation. Therefore, I ask General and Spiritual Sword Saint to quickly enter the palace and meet with His Majesty. We have to solve this matter …"
"I won't go!
I won't go!
Unless all the ministers and the Sword Saint are here, everyone will enter the palace together! "
Sun Lang seemed to be unable to stand the shameless persuasion of the people in the palace. He directly said, "You f * cking only want to persuade me to enter the palace and only let me go with him. What if when I enter the palace, the Sword Saint suddenly jumps out to attack me, and Ling Mu Li stabs me from the side, and your people in the palace don't come to my rescue in time. My life will be lost just like that. Who can I find to reason with?"
These words were too scary. Everyone's expression changed. They wished they could cover their ears. This Shentse General's mouth was unrestrained and unscrupulous. It was to the point that it made people's hair stand on end.
Feng Yongting said angrily, "General, please be careful with your words!
The imperial family is mighty and majestic, just like the sun. How could something like this happen in the Forbidden Palace? "
Sun Lang didn't hold back and retorted, "F * ck you!
Ling Mu Li, who had been dead for two years, opened his own coffin, and the renowned Sword Saint of the Nation came to frame me. This kind of daydreaming bullshit can happen. So what if there is a murder in the Imperial City? "
Feng Yongting was choked speechless. Sun Lang's henchmen were enraptured by his words. The rest of the onlookers were trembling in fear. They shrank back like quails, wishing they could dig a hole in the ground and run away.
They all knew that there was a cause of death in this world called knowing too much. Today's situation was exactly what had happened. The General of Divine Strategies had forcefully stuffed a lot of 404 content into their heads.
But suddenly, a wild laugh sounded.
Everyone was startled. They all looked in the direction of the laughter and were shocked.
Everyone recognized the person who laughed.
It was the Capital Magistrate, Master Bao.
Master Bao's parents in the capital had an outstanding reputation. They were loved and respected by the commoners, and were feared by the nobles. Bao Xiren worshipped the ancient virtuous people. He was strict with himself. He valued his appearance, his speech, his authority, and rarely lost his composure … … .But today, he was laughing crazily.
Ke Nan and the rest were the closest to him. They were brothers from the same sect. When they heard him laughing crazily, they were all shocked. Wu Hou's disciples all studied medicine. They immediately sensed that Bao Xiren's situation was not right.
Di Huaiying stretched out his hand to grab Bao Xiren's wrist, "Junior brother … …"
Bao Xiren used his strength to push his senior brother's hand away. He laughed and pointed at Feng Yongting, "Haha!
Look at you!
Look at you!
Groveling!
Hesitating!
Being restrained!
What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of! "
Then he raised his hand.
Over Feng Yongting's head, he pointed to the endless darkness. He was still laughing, still scolding. But the target of his questioning and mocking had changed from Feng Yongting and the rest to one person.
He was shouting, roaring, questioning. Ever since Sun Lang had caused a ruckus at the Copper Sparrow Terrace, he had been accumulating pressure, accumulating questions, accumulating confusion. Reality and ideals were constantly clashing fiercely.
Lu County's scholar Bao Xiren roared, "What the hell are you thinking?
What are you planning to do!
How many things have you done behind the scenes!
Why are you feeling guilty? Why are you afraid? Why don't you just kill him!
Why don't you just kill his nine generations!
You are so powerful, you have so much power. You dare to do anything!
Why are you scared now!
Are you being pinched in some way?
You let him humiliate you!
Make fun of you!
How many things have you hidden!
Ah? "
The faces of Feng Yongting and the others turned ashen. Bao Xiren had not mentioned names, but they had realized who the target of Bao Xiren's roar was.
Feng Gonggong lowered his voice. His narrowed eyes flashed with the cold light of Senran. While he spoke humbly to Sun Lang, that was only because the other was Sun Lang. In front of others, he was still that Feng Yongting.
"Bao Daren is probably going crazy," he said coldly. "I advise you …"
Before he could finish, an irresistible power came from the side like a tsunami. Feng Gonggong, whose cultivation was ranked in the top five of the palace, couldn't help but retreat in a sorry state. "Shut up."
Sun Lang flashed in front of Bao Xiren, his expression as calm as water.
