Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 355 Evidence?Well, there is now!

Yunguo, Jianchang Mansion, above Lushui.

Looking at the turbulent river surface, Li Bing didn't know what was thinking in his heart, his face was extremely solemn, and suddenly he sighed in a complicated way, and asked with a wry smile:

"Daoist, does this flood dragon really have the supernatural powers of calling wind and rain and regulating water veins like in the myths and legends?"

Behind him, Li Chunfeng, who was wearing a Taoist robe, held a compass, and while surveying the terrain of the surrounding mountains, rivers, and rivers, he replied:

"The fate of the country manifested, and the world changed drastically. Those top martial arts masters back then were only better than others and lived longer. After all, they did not transcend the boundaries of ordinary people."

"But if you look at the present, martial artists of the eighth and ninth ranks can be accompanied by visions, and the power of heaven and earth will accompany each move, multiplying their power. And those scholars who don't practice martial arts, don't look at each of them. It's not impossible to use your hands to use the power of heaven and earth for your own use! Given time, it is not impossible to enter the heaven and earth in the body!"

"The way of heaven is not benevolent, treats all things as dogs, and treats them as one. Warriors can change like this. Isn't it reasonable for one or two strange beasts and divine beasts that have the power to move the world to appear among all creatures in the world? "

Hearing this, Li Bing nodded silently, then sighed again, the complexion on his face became even more complicated.

Li Chunfeng raised his head slightly at this time, looked at Li Bing, and asked with a light smile:

"Why is Master Li sighing? But he is worried that he will be held accountable by the court in the future? Hehe, please also ask Master Li to have more confidence in Pindao!"

Speaking of this, Li Chunfeng showed confidence.

During this period of time, Li Bing had already seen Li Chunfeng's methods, and even with his help, he saw the body of a dragon with his own eyes.

If not, he would not have responded to Li Chunfeng's request and did such absurd things as Shang Zou's request to be canonized as the Dragon King.

Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Li Bing shook his head slightly, and said in a complex tone:
"It's not that I'm worried about this, but I feel that since there are dragons in the world that can reconcile the wind and rain and straighten out the water veins, the people will not suffer from floods, and I feel happy for the people. Years of water conservancy studies will be useless in the future, so I feel a little bitter."

With the power of the court and the power of the people, according to the terrain, dig ditches, guide the water veins, and tame the river flow.The manpower and material resources required for these are too much!

If there really was a mythical creature like the Jiaolong, all it needed was for the imperial court to issue an imperial decree to enshrine the Dragon King, and the weather would naturally be smooth.

In Li Bing's heart, he was not only happy that the people would not suffer from floods in the future, but also felt helpless and lamented that he and others would be useless in the future, so his mood was naturally extremely complicated.

But after hearing Li Bing's words, Li Chunfeng suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head and said:

"Hahaha, my lord is thinking about it! It is a dragon that is not a dragon, and its nature is more animal than spiritual. How can it be easily subdued by an imperial decree from the imperial court? It is the nature of a dragon to make waves and act recklessly!"

Having said that, Li Chunfeng became serious, looked at Li Bing, and said:
"Your Excellency, do you know why the dragon in the river wants to prevent you from building the bridge?"

Hearing this, Li Bing was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Li Chunfeng smiled slightly, and touched the compass in his hand with his robe.

In an instant, the compass rotated, and a shining blue light overflowed from it.During the radiance, an illusory map was projected in front of the two of them.

Li Bing took a closer look, only to realize that the projected map in front of him was exactly the territory of Yun Kingdom!

Li Chunfeng raised his hand slightly, pointed at the map, and said loudly:
"The heaven and the earth have changed greatly, and the fortune of the country is prosperous. The water veins of Lushui are moistened by the fortune of the country, and dragons are born from it. It's just that the water veins are only transformed into dragons in the river. We need to accumulate strength and flow into the sea. , you can get the body of a real dragon."

"If your bridge is built, it will cut off its way into the sea. At that time, the Dayun National Games will suppress the bridge, and it will not be able to enter the sea and transform into a dragon even if it uses its strength."

Hearing this, Li Bing just frowned and said:

"So that's why it wants to prevent me from building the bridge?"

"That's it! Have you ever heard the saying that the dragon swims in shallow water? Although it is a flood dragon, it is not as powerful as in the myth. It has the power of gods to call wind and rain. Without the help of water veins, it can't stir up wind and waves, or even disappear. How much better than high-level warriors."

Li Chunfeng paused slightly, and said in a vibrating voice:
"Although Pindao was born in Taoism, he still thinks it is absurd to pin his hopes on clay sculptures, wood carvings, and strange beasts!"

"But if my lord can completely tame the world's water veins and make the rivers calm, there will be dragons appearing in the world, and they can't be lawless and wantonly cause floods. Only the people of the world will truly be free from the suffering of floods!"

When Li Bing heard this, the complex emotions in his heart dissipated immediately, his eyes were astonishingly bright, and then he bowed to Li Chunfeng and cheered up:
"Thank you, Daoist, for your guidance!"

Li Chunfeng waved his hands again and again, saying:
"It's just two lies, I dare not accept the ceremony."

Regardless of Li Bing's disregard, after leaning over to salute and thank you, he pondered for a moment and couldn't help saying:
"However, as the Taoist priest said just now, this flood dragon is more beastly than spiritual, and it wants to enter the sea and transform into a dragon. I'm afraid that even if you ask His Majesty's imperial decree, you will not be able to completely subdue it!"

A trace of determination flashed in Li Bing's eyes at this time, and he said loudly:
"Do you want to order me to send the army to come here? If the flood dragon in the river dares not accept the decree of His Majesty's canonization, I will bind the flood dragon and present it before the holy chariot!"

After all, it was Li Bing. When others saw Jiaolong and other creatures in mythology, they couldn't help trembling in their hearts.But he was different, he thought of capturing the dragon and wanted to present it to Xiao Cheng.

Li Chunfeng stared sideways at his boldness and courage.

Li Chunfeng shook his head again and again, smiled and said:
"No need, the decree requested by the poor is not only for the canonization of the dragon king! With the decree in hand, you can borrow the power of the country's destiny. Dayun is powerful and prosperous, and the country's destiny is so vast, how can it be like this Can the flood dragon transformed by the Lujiang River be able to withstand it?"

Li Bing looked at Li Chunfeng's confident appearance, and nodded slightly.

And at this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind:
"My lord, my lord!"

The two turned their heads to look, and saw a well-dressed clever boy who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and ran to Li Bing's side quickly, and said out of breath:

"My lord, the chief envoy, Mr. Yang, has arrived, and I ordered my lord to go quickly!"

Li Bing and Li Chunfeng looked at each other with solemn faces, and they both thought about it.

Whether it can be done or not depends on whether His Majesty Jingzhong believes Li Bing's words and issued an imperial edict!

This clever follower, noticing the dignified look on their faces, rolled his eyes, looked up at Li Bing's expression, and said cautiously with a tentative tone:

"My lord, Mr. Yang only brought a dozen or so personal guards with him, and he seemed to be in a hurry... There was no sullen look on his face, and he never asked anyone to inquire about the situation. And judging by Mr. Yang's appearance, it seemed that he was still in a hurry to go back and urged My lord, go see him as soon as possible..."

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:

"Looking at the posture, Master Yang didn't come here to ask for responsibility. It seems that the matter is done!"

Having said that, he pointed to the clever attendant who came to report the news, and praised:

"Smart, with a wink! Would you like to come and help Pindao for a few days?"

Li Bing also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, looked at Ji Ling who followed him, and said with a smile:
"Hong Fang, the Taoist priest has spoken, are you willing to be with him for a few days?"

Hong Fang, who had just joined Li Bing's personal team and gradually stood out because of his cleverness, blinked his eyes at this time, and took a look at Li Chunfeng, who seemed very capable, but hesitated for a moment, then repeatedly nodded and said:
"Boy is willing!"

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng smiled even more, clapped his hands and said:
"it is good!"
-
Xia Guo, in Jinling City.

Then I saw a fast horse coming galloping, and the hooves of the horses roared like thunder.

The conspicuous and unusual brocade embroidered garment symbolizing the identity of the embroidered garment envoy was fluttering in the wind, making a sound of hunting.And under the gorgeous clothes, there is a chilling killing power.

The people on the street hurriedly avoided the two sides, for fear that they would block the way of the embroidered clothes emissary and suffer an innocent disaster.

"Appreciate~"

The leader, Zhong Zizhuo, reined in his war horse. Behind him, more than a hundred embroidered envoys quickly dismounted and stepped forward to surround a two-entry house in front of him.

Such a movement, the owner of the house in front of him naturally noticed it.

After a while, the door opened, and a burly middle-aged man walked out quickly.

What is shocking is that the owner of the house is also wearing an embroidered official uniform.Looking at the lines on his embroidered clothes, it is obvious that he is some kind of high-level embroidered clothes.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhong Zizhuo who was leading such a big battle, frowned, looked at him sharply, and shouted in a deep voice:
"I don't know why Mr. Zhong came here today? Such a big battle, but what a great official authority!"

Zhong Ziyan, who was riding on a war horse, looked at the middle-aged man who was still growing up in front of him, and immediately sneered, saying:
"Shen Rusheng, the third-rank embroidered clothes envoy, is suspected of colluding with Yun Kingdom's secret agents. By the order of the crown prince, he will be sent to the prison to await trial!"

Just the day before yesterday, the imperial decree to confer Yu Zhaoling, king of Qi, as the prince of Xia Kingdom was officially issued.The more than ten-year struggle for Xia Kingdom's succession finally came to an end.King Qi, who was not favored by the courtiers back then, stood out and became the final winner.

It's just that maybe in his own eyes, he is not a winner...

Hearing what Zhong Zizhuo said, Shen Rusheng opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted angrily:
"Ridiculous! I, Shen Rushengru, have been an embroidered envoy for many years, and I have always fulfilled my duties. You say that I colluded with Yunguo, but what evidence do you have?"

Zhong Zizhuo heard the words, got off the horse, straightened his round belly, looked at Shen Rusheng who was furious, and said with a fake smile:
"Master Shen, don't you think this kind of words are familiar to you? Don't we embroiderers, and the prisoners we have captured in the past, all use this kind of rhetoric! But as long as they enter the prison, they will confess to each other honestly. ?”

When Shen Rusheng heard the word Tianlao, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and his whole body trembled subconsciously.

Throughout the ages, the secret service agencies of all dynasties, in order to torture prisoners, have all had a set of frightening interrogation methods.Once in the hands of the embroiderer, with a full set of means, you can tell anyone you want when the time comes!

As a high-level embroiderer, Shen Rusheng is very clear about the Tao.For so many years, very few people can survive.

Shen Rusheng was no longer as calm as before, and said in a panicked tone:

"Zhong Zizhuo, what do you mean? We have no grudges in the past and we have no grudges in the present, why do you want to hurt me like this!"

Zhong Zizhuo frowned, and immediately retorted loudly:
"What do you mean by harming you? I, Zhong Zizhuo, was ordered by the crown prince to thoroughly investigate the collaborators and traitors among the embroidered envoys. There are spies from Yunguo, who couldn't stand the torture and bit out your name, Shen Rusheng. Concerned about the feelings of colleagues, conceal the news?"

Having said that, Zhong Zizhuo's tone softened a little, and he said in a deep voice:
"Master Shen, in fact, don't think too much about it. Even if you are in the sky prison, if I don't find any real evidence, I can't torture you. After all, how many colleagues are watching me up and down, I It is impossible to go too far just for the sake of my official status! Please go back, you are just being investigated. If Mr. Shen is not in collusion with Yun Guo, why worry about it?"

Shen Rusheng, who originally had a hint of determination in his eyes, couldn't help being shaken after hearing Zhong Zizhuo's words.

In the current situation, Zhong Zizhuo is just investigating the Embroidery Envoy thoroughly under the order of His Royal Highness, and it has not yet reached the point where Zhong Zizhuo can cover the sky with one hand.Even if he is concerned about the number of colleagues in the Embroidery Envoy, he should not dare to force a confession indiscriminately.

I didn't collude with Yun Guo in the first place, so why worry?
Thinking of this, Shen Rusheng sighed softly, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding the sword around his waist.

Zhong Zizhuo noticed Shen Rusheng's expression, and immediately smiled slightly, saying:
"It's best for Mr. Shen to think clearly. He is just accepting the investigation. Don't worry too much..."

Having said that, Zhong Zizhuo waved his hand.

A group of embroidered clothes envoys behind him immediately rushed forward and took down Shen Rusheng who gave up the idea of ​​resisting.

There was also a group of embroiderers who ran past Shen Rusheng, rushed into Shen's house like wolves and tigers, and began to search wantonly.

Seeing this, Zhong Zizhuo coughed lightly and reprimanded loudly:
"Be careful, don't run into Lord Shen's family!"

"Yes!" the embroidered clothes envoys shouted violently.

Shen Rusheng's face was a little livid, his eyes were cold, and he let the embroidered clothes envoy tie him into the prison cart and send him to the prison.

Looking at the leaving prison car, Zhong Zizhuo raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said in a low voice:
"Is everything ready?"

An embroiderer next to him quickly responded:

"Don't worry, my lord, the secret letter, the official seal of the Dayun Kingdom, and the gold and silver treasures have all been put in!"

Zhong Zizhuo narrowed his eyebrows and sneered when he heard the words, and said:

"Okay, now that we have the evidence, we can go back and let the brother in charge treat Mr. Shen well."

"Yes!"

"By the way, who is next?"

"He is in charge of the affairs of the nine counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Xiansheng, the third-rank embroidered clothes envoy."

After the embroiderer finished speaking, he leaned into Zhong Zizhuo's ear and whispered:

"Ju Yi Wei has an order, and the court wants to attack the land in the south of the Yangtze River. In this position, we must find a way to let our people take the top!"

When Zhong Zizhuo heard the words, he immediately understood and said confidently:

"no problem!"

The current Zhong Zizhuo is holding the will of Yu Zhaoling, the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom, and has the secret cooperation of Sticky Stick and Dongchang.

He said that whoever is the spy of Yunguo, on the list of spies at the sticky pole and Dongchang, this person's name will be added immediately, no!
