Chapter 169 The emperor’s plan, both sons-in-law have to be hacked, shocking truth

When was it discovered?

The netizen's interview came earlier than Ji Qiu expected.

With a little excitement, he stood up and opened the door while thinking.

Outside the door was Wenren's red sleeves wearing a curtain. The moonlight reflected on her body, making her look cold and beautiful.

Ji Qiu cupped his hands and saluted: "Your Highness the Princess."

While speaking, he sent a message to Wenren Hongxiu: "The walls have ears. Let's talk through the message and have a detailed chat."

After Ji Qiu got along with Wen Chunfeng, he felt that this senior was quite good in all aspects, but it was fate that he liked to watch the fun.

Ji Qiu bet ten spirit stones, he must be listening to Qiang Gen.

You have to guard against it.

Wenren Hongxiu nodded, entered the room, and sat on a chair.

Ji Qiu sat opposite her and poured a cup of tea: "The princess came to visit late at night, but it was about the Song family?"

Wenren Hongxiu nodded and said: "I heard that Mr. Wen has a lot of research on the problems of clans, so I came here to ask for advice."

As she spoke, she sent a message to Ji Qiu: "Don't be nervous, I didn't see through your disguise."

"I came to you because I heard about what happened in Lingzhou. It feels very much like what you did."

She knew Ji Qiu very well, and after speaking, she first explained the reason for her search.

Suddenly, Ji Qiu asked, "Is it safe to meet now?"

Wenren Hongxiu hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have transformed into a god, and you are admired by my father again..."

"Actually, there's a [-]% risk, so it's not too safe, but I'm...still here."

She didn't say it clearly, but Ji Qiu understood it.

I really wanted to see you, so I gave up some caution and came here.

Ji Qiu laughed and joked: "I didn't expect that Princess Hongxiu also has an impulsive side."

Wenren Hongxiu's face turned red and she did not answer.

The two of them were still chatting about family affairs, but in private, they were chatting happily about old things and some curiosity accumulated from their daily chats.

After the interview, Wenren Hongxiu seemed more proactive, looking for a topic.

In the next room.

Wen Chunfeng lay beside the wall and listened for a while, feeling disappointed.

This eldest daughter is good at everything, but he is quite worried about the relationship between men and women.

When he went out for a trip, he seemed to have provoked some strange man, and he hid it so well that even his old father couldn't figure it out.

When the time comes, I will kill this eldest son-in-law with a sword.

My younger daughter’s mysterious Taoist monk is even more outrageous.

Qin Zhi told him that Wenren Shuya's Yuan Yin was lost and it was obviously taken advantage of by some gangster.

The younger son-in-law has to cut ten swords.

pity.

Ji Qiu is so outstanding, but both daughters have their own hearts.

It seems that there is no way to accept Ji Qiu as his son-in-law and let him take care of all the troubles of the Daling Dynasty.

Wen Chunfeng sighed quietly, and his mind returned to its original form.

I stopped listening, and the more I listened, the worse I got.

After half an hour.

Ji Qiu finished talking about some details of Lingzhou, and revealed some progress of his cultivation.

Wenren Hongxiu listened quietly and poured Ji Qiu a cup of tea.

Ji Qiu suddenly asked: "I have a question about the imperial court. Is it convenient for me to ask?"

"You ask, I know and I will answer."

"Who is the identity of Senior Wen Chunfeng? What state is he in?"

Ji Qiu was very curious about this.

He checked it carefully, and felt that the leaders of the third division were not quite alike.

The most suspicious person may be Qin Haishou, the uncle of the Wenren sisters.

Wenren Hongxiu happened to be here, so he thought about it and asked.

Wenren Hongxiu shook his head: "I don't know either."

"According to Wen's rules, the younger generation will not enter the court until the previous emperor gives up the throne."

"I have a little more contact with the Qin family and the Su family. I rarely see the other family heads and the leaders of the three divisions."

Ji Qiu was a little surprised. This was somewhat different from the transition of imperial power he had imagined.

But he soon figured out why there was such a difference.

This is the Immortal Dynasty, and the emperor controls the situation with force, rather than relying on the emperor's mental tricks.

It is forbidden for future generations to have access to the family, and it will not affect the succession of the throne.

The new emperor needs strength, not the support of these clans.

This can also effectively prevent the powerful from standing on the sidelines and supporting different members of the royal family to control the change of imperial power.

Wenren Hongxiu also asked, "Why did you get involved with the imperial court?"

Ji Qiu sighed: "This matter has to start with the chaos in Jinzhou..."

He spoke slowly about his experience.

Wenren Hongxiu listened quietly.

until late at night.

After hearing Ji Qiu's story, Wenren Hongxiu said via voice message: "Do you regret it?"

"Ok?"

"If you knew there was trouble today, would you still go and save those people?"

Ji Qiu nodded without hesitation: "Help. Regardless of them, they will always feel uneasy."

“The current situation is different from what I expected, but it’s not bad.”

With the magical weapon in his possession, he also received three thousand acres of spiritual land.

This greatly accelerated Ji Qiu's development.

Wenren Hongxiu suddenly opened the curtain, revealing a gentle and beautiful face.

She blushed a little, but still mustered up her courage, staring at Ji Qiu's eyes, showing a hint of a smile.

"You are really good."

After saying this, she covered her face again to prevent Ji Qiu from seeing her increasingly red face.

Ji Qiu was stunned by her expression. He was stunned for a moment and scratched his face: "It's not that good."

"I don't save people out of sympathy, just for my own peace of mind."

Wenren Hongxiu was silent for a while, and then said again: "I don't know how to persuade people."

"But I think you are very good. After you told me this, I still think so."

"If others say something bad about you, I will refute it and not listen to it."

A warm throb appeared in Ji Qiu's heart, and he chuckled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment."

The two chatted about practice and the current situation of the Great Spirit Dynasty.

It feels like only a short time has passed and it will be bright outside.

Wenren Hongxiu stood up and said, "Come back another day and continue to ask for advice from sir."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you, Your Highness the Princess."

Ji Qiu sent her to the door, turned around and returned to the house.

Staring at the fish-belly white sky outside the window, Ji Qiu sat quietly until the throbbing disappeared.

He sighed.

Who should we start with to convince them both?

Ji Qiu thought to himself, should he tell Wenren Shuya first?

She has a free and easy personality and may be more receptive?
Ji Qiu thought for a moment and felt something was wrong.

It is very likely that she would say coolly: "If you are not sure, then I will help you make a choice. You and I don't want to see each other again, brother-in-law."

Ji Qiu stroked his chin, frowning in thought.

What should I tell Wenren Hongxiu first?

With her smart and proud nature, she might chat with Ji Qiu for a while and then quietly disappear the next day.

Not too good.

Ji Qiu thought for a moment and decided to improve his strength first.

Anyway, it’s not time to be discovered yet.

As long as you have the strength and know where they are, you can slowly try to convince them over a long period of time.

But one thing is urgent.

The moment the matter was revealed, he had to ensure that he could at least be on a [-]-[-] basis with his old father-in-law.

Otherwise, Emperor Daling might have raised his sword and told Ji Qiu, "Both of my daughters have fallen in love with you. You are really capable."

"Then let's take half each person. Do you want to divide it vertically from the nose or horizontally from the belly?"

Two hours later.

The sound of Xu Hu knocking on the door interrupted Ji Qiu's thoughts.

"My lord, the brothers are all in place."

The door of the inn.Three hundred monks from the Guards Division formed a queue.

Originally, the monks of the Third Division did not have the habit of lining up.

In order to make the Guards Department more disciplined, Ji Qiu added a lot of restrictions.

After more than half a year of training, the Guards Division seems to be obviously more team-oriented and more effective than the other three divisions.

Ji Qiu stood in front of the crowd.

Wen Chunfeng and Wenren Hongxiu followed beside Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu said loudly: "Remember, it is forbidden to conflict with mortals during statistics. If the other party does not cooperate, just leave!"

"It is strictly prohibited to accept any benefits!"

"Be sure to explain the situation. If you don't register and are discovered by the court, you will be treated as a fugitive and killed on the spot!"

"Please always remember that you are acting under the authority of the emperor, and your words and deeds represent His Majesty's face!"

After Ji Qiu finished speaking, three hundred monks responded in unison.

"Yes, my lord!"

Wen Chunfeng watched from the side, smiling without saying a word, obviously in a good mood.

The area around the inn has been cleared, and no one is allowed to enter.

However, a Mahayana monk like Song Shuqi has his own way of seeing the situation nearby.

Feeling the capable and elite atmosphere of the Guards Division, Song Shuqi's face became a little solemn.

He always felt that this Guards Division would become an extremely difficult problem.

But the Department of Guards is the most important department of the emperor now, whoever takes action against the Department of Guards will undoubtedly cause big trouble.

This Wen Qiufeng also wears the Ling Emperor Jade Pendant.

Song Shuqi was in a dilemma and full of hesitation.

……

Ji Qiu and Wen Chunfeng are based in Taocheng and supervise the registration process here.

Two days ago, the Third Division issued a notice that within three days, people in the city were not allowed to go out.

Except for purchasing necessary items, you must wait for registration at your permanent residence.

This census is linked to place of residence.

From south to north, monks from the Guards Division and monks from the Third Division came to investigate one after another.

After testing the body's vitality and confirming that there is no suspicion, the person will be registered and then issued a wooden identity card.

The registration in Taocheng went very smoothly.

The people are very cooperative and just hope that it can be completed as soon as possible and released as soon as possible.

However, in the corners of the city, some people looked uneasy, looking around, taking advantage of the hiding place, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

The south city gate is not closed.

Surrounded by three ques and one.

Ji Qiu gave the evil cultivators a way to escape, avoiding the situation where the evil cultivators had no hope of escaping and dragged a large number of mortals with them to death.

Several evil cultivators escaped while no one was paying attention.

After leaving the city, it seemed quite safe, and no court monks showed up.

It wasn't until they ran away and informed other evil cultivators that they could run away that the monks from the Guards Division jumped out and killed these evil cultivators in one fell swoop.

Five hours passed.

In Tao City alone, 510 evil cultivators ran out.

Wen Chunfeng's face was gloomy and he said nothing.

Wenren Hongxiu clenched his fists.

Ji Qiu was also a little surprised.

Haizhou is almost becoming the base camp of evil cultivators!

Tao City is the foothold of evil cultivators, but it is not a place for long-term activities.

After all, the Song family is in charge here, and it should be considered the place with the fewest evil cultivators in the entire Haizhou.

There are more than 3000 evil cultivators here.

The situation in Haizhou is much more serious than in Jinzhou.

Song Shuqi was surprised.

He knew that he had put in some evil cultivators, but he really didn't expect there to be so many!
Except for Tao City.

All over Haizhou, from cities to villages, there are a large number of evil cultivators fleeing.

Some were killed, others fled.

The third division was responsible for encirclement and suppression.

In this operation, the most dangerous mission was given to the Third Division. The Guards Division had a detached status and was responsible for command.

There are more than 40 sects in Haizhou.

They also quietly joined the team that hunted evil cultivators.

Killing evil cultivators can be exchanged for rewards in the Dao Alliance.

What's more, if they kill one more, the court will kill one less.

The monks of the Taoist Alliance were also very happy to grab the heads of the imperial court.

The statistics of Haizhou took 30 days.

Ji Qiu expected it to be completed within ten days, but the actual time consumed was much longer than expected.

The main reason is that Haizhou’s terrain is complex, with many mountains and many small gathering places.

Ji Qiu doesn't want to forget these people.

Rather than spending more time, Ji Qiu tried his best to count all the known people in Haizhou.

After the head count was completed, monk Qin Tiansi was responsible for the divination and began to kill those who had not registered.

Ji Qiu is not responsible for this specific battle.

He took the final roster and handed it to Wen Chunfeng and Wen Ren Hongxiu.

The final statistical results surprised both Wen Chunfeng and Wen Ren Hongxiu.

Haizhou has a population of just over 7000 million.

It is more than 5000 million less than the household registration.

Among them, some were killed by evil cultivators, some were oppressed by the Song family, and some were affected by disasters and ran away because they couldn't survive.

There are also those who can't run and can only starve to death.

Wenren Hongxiu looked at the final statistical results and was silent for a long time.

Wen Chunfeng sighed softly: "Your Majesty... you have neglected your duty."

Ji Qiu advised: "Senior, be careful what you say."

"The biggest sinner is the Song family, followed by the evil cultivators. Naturally, the court is also responsible, but the main responsibility does not lie with the court."

Wen Chunfeng shook his head and did not answer the question. He just said, "You did a good job this time."

"The truth is dazzling, but you can still see the true side."

Ji Qiu bowed his hands and said, "It's all thanks to the efforts of my colleagues in the Department of Health. I just did some minor work."

Wen Chunfeng patted Ji Qiu's shoulder, obviously in a bad mood: "I will keep an eye on the situation in the other two states. You can go back first."

Ji Qiu thought for a while and said, "I'll go too."

Originally, Ji Qiu wanted to go back and continue practicing.

But the census process does have a lot of troubles.

It often happens that evil cultivators stir up trouble and incite people to resist investigations.

There were also cases where young Guards monks had conflicts with the people after failing to make sense.

These monks from the Guards Division, whom Ji Qiu could not name, were also living people.

Even with Ji Qiu's express prohibition, sometimes it is difficult to hold back when the anger rises.

Wen Chunfeng's reputation in the Imperial Guard Department was not high enough, so Ji Qiu had to come forward every time to calm things down.

Within a month, Ambassador Wen's reputation spread throughout Haizhou.

The censuses in several neighboring states will go much smoother with Ji Qiu around.

Wen Chunfeng finally had a smile on his face: "It's best if you just follow nature."

"Let's go to Lingquanzhou first. The hot springs over there are good, and you can take a dip after finishing business."

Ji Qiu nodded: "Okay."

"Where's the princess?"

Wenren Hongxiu said softly: "I have nothing to do, so I will go with you."

The three of them boarded the treasure ship.

Originally, Ji Qiu wanted to bring Xu Hu and Zhao Ping along.

These two performed really well.

But after the two of them heard that Ji Qiu wanted to ask them to come up, they refused to do so.

It's so scary to be in the same room with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

They would rather take an ordinary flying boat or a flying car pulled by a spirit beast than board a treasure ship.

Ji Qiu didn't force it either.

After half a day.

Ji Qiu and his party entered Lingquan Prefecture.
