Chapter 152 – Two Secret Letters (Added for ally “Oreo is a bit salty”)

At dusk, Xu Qi’an waited for Wei Yuan, who had returned from the palace.

The spacious and luxurious carriage drove into the government office, Wei Yuan stepped down from the carriage with a small ladder, Xu Qi an then Baba went up and whispered, “Wei Gong …..”

Wei Yuan, whose temples were graying, glanced at him and said as he walked, “The Honorable King wrote a letter in blood, accusing the trio of Uncle Ping Yuan, the Minister of the Household, and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, of plotting to murder the royal family.”

King Yu’s operation Xu Qi’an had already learned of it from Princess Huaiqing and nodded, “His Majesty has referred it to the three divisions for trial?”

“No!” Wei Yuan shook his head, “His Majesty’s anger was no less than that of the Honorable King, he couldn’t wait that long, and immediately wrote an imperial decree, inviting the Supervisor to enter the palace and confront those three face to face. At that time, there were also the imperial court’s gunners present.”

“What’s the result?” Xu Qi’an already knew the result, but he still had to ask.

Wei Yuan sighed, ”Murdering a member of the royal family is punishable by the death of three clans. The indictment will come down tomorrow morning at the latest. The Liang Party is finished.”

Eradicate the three clans …. Xu Qi’an moved slightly.

The so-called razing of the three clans, that is, the father’s three clans, the mother’s three clans and the wife’s three clans, can be categorized as one of the most severe punishments. It is second only to the razing of nine clans for treason.

“Ai, tomorrow I’m afraid that heads will roll for the killing.” Xu Qi’an sighed along with him, not knowing whether to clap his hands or feel sorry for those innocents implicated.

Although Ping Yuan Bo was exterminated, but compared to the razing of the three clans, there are still dozens of hundreds of people who have to die. Those who are related to Ping Yuan Bo within the three clans, one can not escape.

So did the other two.

“The Liang Party?” Xu Qi’an queried.

Wei Yuan nodded, ”The Liang Party was the biggest gainer in the struggle for King Yu’s exit from the power stage. It is led by Zhang Feng, the Minister of War, and Sun Mingzhong, the Minister of Household. Uncle Ping Yuan joined the Liang Party last year.”

“Lord Wei, then, then my business…” whispered Xu Qi’an. The dynasty party was too far away from him, and Xu Qi’an was unwilling.

All he cares about is his future and his little life.

“There’s no rush, His Majesty is in a fit of anger, mentioning this matter at this time would be bad instead.” Wei Yuan shook his head.

It is this reason …. Xu Qi’an nodded, bid farewell to Wei Yuan, and traveled in the direction of home in the afterglow of dusk.

……

Dusk, in some room.

A white hand held a pen and wrote on the letterhead:

————————————-

Honorable host:

The Sampo case has come to an end, the Minister of Rites had said that cooperating with us is to seek the skin of the tiger, hey, he’s really right about that.

A year ago I inadvertently witnessed what happened to County Princess Pingyang and Monk Heng Hui, Heng Hui died but never recovered, his Yuan Shen condensed his grievances, and I refined him into a puppet and kept him by my side.

And told you about this, you said that the opportunity has come, the year of the Jingcha, is the beginning of our plans for 500 years of greatness.

Forgive me for being disrespectful, but I am not optimistic. The Supervisor of the Heavenly Monastery and the Taoist Capital of the Human Sect are some of the strongest men in the world.

But in this case, the two chose to stand by out of some unspoken agreement …. Once again, I praise you, the master’s talent is second to none.

Emperor Yuan Jing’s attitude towards the case is not positive, otherwise he would not have appointed a gong as the organizing officer, as you would expect.

But that gong is extremely powerful and has a keen sense of smell.

In the course of investigating the case, your descent was discovered by him, and he came to the Churchyard several times to spy on the demonic aura, at the risk of asking, did you do it on purpose?

In addition, other night watchmen secretly scouted.

I had no choice but to push Grey Hime out of the way of trouble, I know she is of your clan, so please forgive me for trespassing.

Don’t worry, the stuff has gone to the people who deserve it.

I’m very sorry, all the clues in the tax silver case are broken …. I have contacted Zhou Li many times, and he is really just a dude with a little bit of smarts, and is not aware of everything that his father, Squire Zhou, is scheming.

Here, I would like to report four things to my master:

One: During the tax silver escort, Squire Zhou had many chances to strike, which would have been safer, but he chose to embezzle 150,000 dollars of tax silver in the capital.

This is really puzzling. Squire Zhou is a smart man, but he made a confused move, and I think there must be a reason for it.

But no one can give me an answer to the question of the “accidental death” of Squire Zhou during his exile.

Two: According to reliable sources, Squire Zhou has swallowed up more than a million taels of silver over the past twenty years, but when the Zhou House was raided, the court only searched out thousands of taels of silver.

And where did all that silver go?

Third: through the secret investigation of the Si Tian Supervisor, found that the youngest disciple of the Supervisor is called Chu Caiwei, a very beautiful and interesting little girl, of course, she is far from being able to compare with the noble and beautiful master.

I would say that the warlocks of the Sithian Supervisor call her Little Sister, or …. Sixth Senior Sister. And there are only five personal disciples of the Supervisor.

Four: The people of the Witch God Cult killed Magistrate Zhao of Taikang County, the same official who discovered the saltpeter mine.

Yes, the Wiccans of Voodoo intervened in this matter, and, when they could have silenced themselves in a subtler, more subtle way, they chose to kill in a dream world.

It was not difficult to deduce that they were trying to mislead the court, throw dirty water on the Zhenbei King, and disassociate the relationship between Emperor Yuan Jing and the Zhenbei King.

Finally, there’s a small thing that’s hard to say. I’m in love with a man, a man I shouldn’t be in love with. I would like to ask my master to have mercy on me and remake my body.

–Servants who will always serve you.

Inside the other chamber, the cloaked man put pen to paper:

Your Honor:

I am primarily responsible for the failure of planning the tax and silver case. Squire Zhou’s death, on the other hand, was purely due to his stupidity. His smarmy son led to the failure of a series of schemes.

….

As you expected, the scheming of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom succeeded, and they released the seal underneath Sangpo.

I will describe in detail in my letter the intelligence that has been harvested over the last year.

About a year ago, the struggle between the lords and the civil officials entered a white-hot stage, and King Yu, representing the entire force of the lords, assumed the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War, just one step short of the Cabinet, with the tacit approval of Emperor Yuan Jing.

In the process, his first daughter, Princess Pingyang, falls in love with a monk at the Qinglong Temple, and the two decide to elope and ask the first son of a world friend, Pingyuan Bo, for help …..

Because of the covetousness of the beauty of the county princess of Pingyang, three playboys intend to abuse her, and then kill them to extinguish their mouths, but encountered the fierce resistance of the other side, the county princess of Pingyang swallowed a hairpin and killed herself ….

The spy that the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom had planted in the capital city of Dafeng had inadvertently discovered this scene, and she had utilized the Corpse Compulsion to refine Heng Hui into a walking corpse puppet, grasping the secret and hibernating.

Dafeng launched a new round of Beijing inspection, the parties and factions are fighting each other, the more intense, I have to say, Yuan Jing Emperor is a terrible emperor, his imperial heart skill is pure fire.

But he was not a good emperor. In his eyes, there was only power and immortality.

With this secret in hand, the spy of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom quietly searched for someone to work with in the capital. In the end, she selected the Minister of Rites as her target, as well as the forces behind him.

Because it so happened that during that period of time, saltpeter mines were discovered in Taikang County’s Rhubarb Mountain, which was exactly what the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom needed.

No one in the world could infiltrate Sangpo to destroy the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple under the watchful eyes of the Supervisor and the Head of the Human Sect Dao without a sound, but gunpowder could help them accomplish this task.

The forces behind the Minister of Rites had been thirsting for sole control of the court and power over the parties. As one of the roadblocks, the Liang Party was of course on their purge list.

The two sides hit it off and came to an agreement that the Minister of Rites would help the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to blow up the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple and release the seals at the bottom of the temple.

The remaining members of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom push Heng Hui onto the stage and guide the night watchman to look into the case of the disappearance of Princess Ping Yang.

In order to get rid of his own suspicion, the Minister of Rites used his secret agent, Zhou Chixiong, a hundred tenant of the Jingwuwei, through whom he sent gunpowder into the Imperial City and buried it under the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple. And killed the Da Lisi, the Ministry of Rites, the palace when the total number of nine, in order to confuse and mislead the three Yamen organizing officials.

They even tried to plant the Minister of Labor of the Qi Party through gunpowder, but unfortunately underestimated the gong Xu Qi’an. I assassinated Magistrate Zhao to try and mislead him into checking on the King of Zhenbei, but unfortunately he didn’t fall for it. This son is too resourceful.

Zhou Chixiong, a hundred-man of the Jingwuwei, intentionally kills Liu Han, a minor flag officer, to draw the attention of the night watchman and the government office, and, during the other party’s questioning, uses a magic weapon to shield the lookout technique, guiding the watchman to turn his gaze to the Qinglong Temple to discover the case of Monk Heng Hui’s elopement, and to follow the trail to discover the party dispute from one year ago.

This move is extremely marvelous, and I feel that it is not something that a mere Hundred Households can do. There is no doubt that the daughter of the Demon Emperor is making the move herself.

This is the general course of events, and there are still two points that my humble servant has yet to find out:

I: My humble servant, after all his hard work, still has not found out what the seal under the Sangpo is all about. But one thing is clear: it has a great deal to do with the Buddhist Sect. The purpose of its release by the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom has also not been ascertained.

Second: the supervisor’s attitude is really inscrutable, if the Yuan Jing Emperor’s purpose of opening up the city ban, I can still guess one or two, the supervisor’s mind is non-people can speculate.

Obviously he did not do anything, I always feel that everything is in his anticipation, control.

-Over

…..

Xu Qi’an returned home, ate dinner, and gave his second uncle the progress of the Sangpo case, as well as the truth about the case of the Pingyang County Lord.

Uncle Xu listened in a daze, half a day without eating a mouthful of rice, murmured: ”These readers are really one more than one bad. Although Lao Zi chopped up a lot of people back then, compared to them, they are simply bright and open-minded.

“Ning Banquet ah, you remember in the future do not want to talk to the readers, can move the knife we do not hesitate, or even when they planted do not know.”

许七安嗯嗯啊啊的点头，心说你怕不是忘记自己有一个读书人的儿子了？

After finishing his meal, teasing Xu Suoyin, and speaking with Ling Yue’s sister, Xu Qi’an was planning to return to his small courtyard.

“Ahem.” The aunt coughed hypocritically, her eyes looking to the side, and said, “I had someone make you a dress, and Ling Yue will send it to you later. Does it fit …. I don’t care. Anyway, you love to wear it or not.”

“Yo, is the sun coming out of the west today?” Xu Qi’an looked outward in surprise.

The aunt gritted her teeth and one word popped out of her small red mouth, “Get out. “

Xu Qi’an immediately rolled back to his own small courtyard.

The moment he pushed open the door of the house, he suddenly had a heart palpitation, not the kind of heart palpitation that the shards of the earth’s book sent a message, but a heart palpitation where the hairs of his sweat stood up one by one, and the goose bumps protruded one by one.

Xu Qi’an stiffened and twisted his head to look at the bed, seeing a reddish severed hand lying quietly on the bed.

His scalp instantly tingled, adrenaline spiked, and cold sweat rolled down one by one.
