Chapter 22 Reaction
“Asshole!”
In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor threw the lamp, and Long Yan was furious.
Killing an official, the person who died was still the governor of a city, which governed more than a hundred counties, towns and villages, and directly affected millions of people. In the history of the dynasty that lasted for more than a thousand years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was It can be regarded as a major case.
This kind of thing has not happened in countless years. If it is not handled well, thieves will soon follow suit and even rise up, further shaking the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty. By then, I don’t know how many people will die. .
If it really comes to that point, he will issue a criminal edict and be nailed to the pillar of shame of the royal family for future generations to admire.
"Your Majesty, calm down your anger and take care of the dragon body."
"Such a great evil must be captured as soon as possible to suppress the unrest so as not to affect more people."
"Micro The minister suggested that Luofeng City be closed down everywhere, the county and city send troops, and the treasury allocate funds to guide the scattered people back to their original places, and give partial compensation and appeasement. The first priority is to appease the people's hearts, so as to avoid the chaos from expanding and allowing thieves to take advantage of the opportunity. Coercing the refugees to stir up trouble."
Many ministers spoke out to make suggestions, and put all methods in front of the emperor in an orderly manner.
The emperor quickly regained his composure, and after pondering for a moment, he gave the order:
"Send five hundred Suzaku Guards to station in Luofeng City, led by Zheng Dutong. In one month... no, within half a month, the investigation will be carried out. From the beginning to the end, the thief will be taken to the imperial capital, and anyone who obstructs the handling of the case will be punished with the same crime! "
"The Holy One is wise."
After the emperor has spoken, no matter what suggestions the ministers made before, No one spoke again, and everyone praised Shengcai for his uniqueness.
"In addition, summon King Guangyun to the capital and order him to come quickly!"

Wuyang County, Guangyun Prince’s Mansion, study.
There were only Prince Guangyun and his son in the room. Zhao Yunheng, dressed in a python robe, sat behind the case, frowning slightly, tapping the table with his fingertips, muttering to himself:
" Song Tonghai is an extraordinary person, but I underestimate him.”
Hearing this, Zhao Jichang on the side was a little surprised:
"Father, you mean... Yuan Xingcai and Luo Wang were killed by Song Tonghai?"
Song Tonghai that day The impression he gave him was extremely kind, and he didn't look like a murderous person at all, let alone committing a major treason case such as killing an official.
“No.”
Zhao Yunheng waved his hand and said, “Don’t say this without any evidence.”
"I hope my father will make it clear." Zhao Jichang was a little confused: "If you are suspicious, why not take the person directly? After verification, you will know whether it is true or false."
"This is not as simple as you think. This matter may be Alarming the Immortal Sect."
Zhao Yunheng shook his head slightly and sighed softly: "Whether it was Song Tonghai who did this or not, he is in big trouble."
This is it. This is no longer something he can suppress.
Even a great master would not dare to kill an official of the imperial court. This would be a crime.
It doesn't matter who died, nor how many people died. This kind of offense is what the court cannot tolerate the most.
It’s just like ordinary people. When they are injured by fierce thugs, most of them choose to swallow their anger. One more thing is worse than one less thing. But if they are bitten by a bug, most of them will go into rage and kill them without hesitation. Insects are trampled to death.
Being afraid of the strong and bullying the weak, and using power to bully others, has been the case since ancient times.
Class is the iron law of this world. It is the most intolerable crime to commit the following. Even if you enter the immortal sect, this iron law is still valid.
Seeing that Zhao Jichang seemed to understand but not understand, Zhao Yunheng was about to explain when a long shout suddenly came from outside the palace:
"The imperial edict has arrived."
The voice was shrill, and the reverberation shook the ten-mile street, which was enough to show his profound internal strength.
Zhao Yunheng narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and said: "Pack up and prepare to follow me to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit."

Luofeng City, Song Mansion.
Yesterday Song Lingxue had dispersed all the gold and silver in the treasury, and whatever was worth something had been converted into cash. The surviving escorts basically chose to take their money and leave. Only a few were left, and nine out of ten of the servants were scattered.
Overnight, the population was withered. The huge Song Dynasty was full of ruins and ruins, and there were not a few living people at all.
Now is the best time to leave.
The impact of killing officials is great. Luofeng City currently has no owner, and there are countless people leaving the city. If you mix among these people and leave the city, there will not be any danger.
Faced with this chaos, Chu Zheng's heart calmed down a lot and he no longer struggled. He practiced step by step and practiced Qi every day in order to reach the state of spiritual transformation as soon as possible.
My parents in this city died. Although I don’t know who did it, they did fight for the Song Dynasty for a long time.
He has made plans, and there is nothing to do yet. It happened, and by the time the court found out the case, a long time had passed. Now he was only seventy-three days away from practicing Qi for 100 days, which was only two and a half months.
Be careful. After this period of time passes, there should still be some opportunities.
After entering the spiritual transformation, his methods will undergo many changes, and he can try to master the true magical power of the alchemist.
The method of refining Qi is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. There are more than ten kinds of magical powers related to the five senses.
Just talking about the Celestial Eye, there are methods such as observing energy, distinguishing yin and yang, recognizing pulses, and communicating with other minds. Going deeper, there are also various magical powers such as flying in the clouds and mists.
Although Chu Zheng is eager for these magical powers, he can only do it step by step at this moment.
Song Lingxue followed him every day, never leaving, taking care of everything.
Chu Zheng didn't ask to leave, and Song Lingxue didn't say anything either. There seemed to be a silent understanding.
Ever since he learned that Chu Zheng had cultivated the dragon-tiger body and had undergone such amazing changes, Song Yun had some ideas.
As soon as his injury stabilized, he began to try to practice external martial arts in an attempt to discover his talents that he had not yet noticed and become famous.
The result was naturally a huge disappointment. His talent in external skills was as ordinary as his appearance.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
Chu Zheng's stable mentality did not last long.
After Song Tonghai took care of his injuries, he found him.
In the study, the two people sat opposite each other. This was the first time they had direct face-to-face communication.
"Master..."
After being silent for a long time, Chu Zheng coughed lightly.
"Chu Zheng, you saved me from fire and water, and I don't want to say thank you for your kindness. I don't want to hide it from you, so I just opened the skylight and spoke frankly."
Before he finished speaking, He was interrupted by Song Tonghai raising his hand:
"Now my Song family is in great trouble. I have transferred most of the family property in batches. Lingxue knows where it is. I intend to entrust her to you. You The two of you should fly away as soon as possible, and I will stay and buy some time for you two.”
Chu Zheng waved his hand and said slowly: "Master, there is no need to worry. Now that the governor of Luofeng City has been assassinated, this is a real big deal. We may still have some time before the court finds out what happened."
Hearing this, Song Tonghai was silent for a moment, staring at Chu Zheng:
"Who do you think killed those two people."
Chu Zheng: "..."
< br>Looking at Song Tonghai's dull expression, Chu Zheng couldn't hold himself tight for a moment. Judging from the reaction of the man in front of him, it was obvious who killed those two people.
For a moment, Chu Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that his head was extremely big.
Killing officials...is this a rebellion?
