Chapter 680 Evil Heretics
"Didn't you ask Zhao Feng to prepare something again?"

Li Xuan thought speechlessly.

Although framing others is effective, the Imperial Household Department can't always use the same tactics, right?

Emperor Yongyuan caught Li Xuan's suspicious look. He immediately understood what the kitten was thinking and explained with a smile:
"Don't worry, it won't be that simple this time."

"If it were any other place, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, but Luodong City is different."

"It's not easy to touch the people here without some real evidence."

Emperor Yongyuan seemed to be confident and had already come up with an idea.

He waved at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan immediately jumped from Princess Ankang's arms onto the table and leaned over to listen.

Emperor Yongyuan whispered something in Li Xuan's ear for a while, and Li Xuan couldn't help but smile.

"As expected of an emperor who has been here for so many years, his conscience is so bad!"

Li Xuan said secretly in his heart, and gave Emperor Yongyuan a small look, letting him figure it out for himself.

"Ahem." Emperor Yongyuan coughed awkwardly, and did not forget to instruct Li Xuan again: "Master Mo, I'm going to ask you to take action this time."

……

At the banquet that was not over yet.

After Emperor Yongyuan left, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Although it was late at night, everyone was in high spirits, but it was hard for the girls on the stage to continue their performances in different ways.

"My Lord, are you safe along the way?"

Wang Wenbin, the chief of Luodong City, said with concern.

He is the prefect here and also the highest-ranking official in Luodong City.

However, Luodong City is a little special. In addition to the government office, there are several official offices that manage silk, salt and iron, which are not under the control of the government office.

It’s just that everyone is in Luodong City, and they see each other every day. Everyone is already familiar with each other and has a tacit understanding in their hearts.

“Although there are some twists and turns, it’s not a big deal.”

King Zheng answered calmly.

Emperor Yongyuan killed many corrupt officials along the way, and the news of supporting new people to take the throne must have spread to Luodong City.

This was the first time that King Zheng had suffered such a loss in all these years, so the people below had some reactions and needed to be appeased in time.

Emperor Yongyuan had been dormant in the capital for so many years, but his southern tour started with a bloody scene with so many deaths, which really shocked these old-timers in the officialdom.

Regarding this matter, they were all waiting for King Zheng's reaction.

But in the past few days, apart from hearing that another corrupt official was beheaded by Emperor Yongyuan, there has been no movement from Prince Zheng.

This made the officials who were under the wing of King Zheng feel somewhat uneasy.

Because this was unimaginable before, but now it is happening right before their eyes.

King Zheng has ruled the officialdom for so many years, so he still has this kind of keen sense.

"Everyone, your majesty has punished the officials who made mistakes according to the laws of Daxing."

"It's reasonable and justifiable. Although the means are a bit cruel, it is also for the purpose of eradicating corruption in the officialdom."

"For those officials who have not made any mistakes and have made contributions to Daxing, both Your Majesty and I have noticed it."

“So there’s no need for everyone to be so nervous.”

"Also, we are halfway through the southern tour. Once we are on the waterway, the rest of the journey will be smoother."

King Zheng said this, silently raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together.

"For a better tomorrow for Daxing, please drink this cup to your heart's content!"

After saying this, King Zheng took the lead and drank it all, and the others followed suit.

Until the end of the banquet, Wang Wenbin, the prefect of Luodong City, secretly stuffed a secret letter into Prince Zheng's sleeve when he left, and then he staggered away with the help of servants.

King Zheng's expression remained unchanged as he silently took the letter.

He returned to his resting room, and the attendant immediately came forward to report:
"Your Highness, the Internal Affairs Department's surveillance has been relaxed."

King Zheng nodded, not seeming too surprised.

"They knew it was useless to watch, so they guarded outside and didn't allow anyone to disturb them."

After King Zheng gave his instructions, he returned to his room and opened the letter nervously.

Although we have been cut off from the outside world for only a few days, a lot has happened in those days.

In particular, the failure of the operation in Jiaozhou City left King Zheng puzzled.

He knew Jiang Pu's character very well. He was definitely not someone who was willing to take risks, let alone be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.

There are not many people in the officialdom who were promoted by Emperor Yongyuan himself, so it cannot be said that he was favored by someone.

If there is any favor from anyone, it was all thanks to King Zheng.

But it was because of this that Jiang Pu's betrayal caught King Zheng off guard.

King Zheng opened the secret letter, which recorded all the information that had not been reported to him during this period.

It says above that Jiang Pu not only betrayed them, but also set an ambush in his government office, causing the three ghosts of Hanhe who went to carry out the mission to disappear.

Lu Ji and Chun Jun also had difficulty in moving and were injured.

Lu Ji was even severely injured by Wang Xi and almost couldn't come back.

But after that battle, they also confirmed Wang Xi's strength in the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm.

These pieces of bad news made King Zheng's expression more and more solemn.

He knew that the heritage of the Palace was profound, but he still underestimated it.

The Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm is the limit of ordinary warriors, and it is very difficult to reach it.

But with the heritage, this kind of thing becomes controllable. As long as some price is paid, it can be ensured that there will be warriors at the pseudo-heavenly realm from generation to generation.

Prince Zheng's preparations over the years were more to deal with the inheritance of the Daxing royal family.

However, he did not expect that the background was much deeper than what he had heard. He did not know whether Emperor Yongyuan was just lucky or there were some secrets in the palace that he did not know about.

When it comes to luck, Emperor Yongyuan was truly extraordinary.

King Zheng also saw all the efforts he made when he was young.

Marry into Beiliang and Wu family to seek external support.

As a result, he really gave birth to a monster like Princess Yan Zhao.

Now, Princess Ankang is showing signs of emerging as a promising talent.

In this regard, Prince Zheng really envied Emperor Yongyuan.

After reading the secret letter, King Zheng lit it with the help of a lamp.

Although these were unexpected bad news, King Zheng did not care too much.

In his opinion, Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour was destined to last only a few days.

The further south they went, the fewer means Emperor Yongyuan had at his disposal.

King Zheng had been operating in the south for many years and had already acquired unparalleled control.

In the eyes of Prince Zheng, Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour was tantamount to walking into a trap.

King Zheng could tolerate what happened in the past few days because he knew that as long as the southern tour continued, he would win sooner or later.

He is very confident about this.

There are more and more watertight places like Luodong City as you go south.

After all, King Zheng developed these places as his own territory.

……

Early that morning.

While everyone was fast asleep, a huge explosion occurred in the government office of Luodong City, and the entire government hall was razed to the ground.

Fortunately, there was no one in the court at that time and no casualties were caused.

But such a big commotion also woke up many people living around the government office.

Then there was a burst of shouting and killing noises coming from the government office, which lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

At this moment, a low voice came from the sky, followed by several flashes of black lightning.

"How dare you, a bunch of scoundrels, openly attack the government and commit crimes."

"How can I, Mo Tiansheng, tolerate you? Watch out!"

The shouts and screams suddenly stopped, and several figures fell heavily from the air. "Qian Teng Mo Ji, where are you going!"

The sounds from the horizon gradually faded away, and the commotion in the government office slowly subsided, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Wang Wenbin, the prefect of Luodong City, was still in shock. He looked at the corpses left on the ground with a gloomy expression.

"Sir, those on the ground are already dead."

An official came to report.

"Can you tell where the two sides are coming from?" Wang Wenbin asked, suppressing his anger.

Those officials are most afraid of these gangsters.

If you mess with them, you will be in big trouble.

These gangsters don't care what high-ranking official you are. They just want to see blood splattered every ten steps when they are angry. The life of wandering in the gangs is almost the same as being wanted, so they don't care at all.

They are not from a famous or large sect, they just go wherever they want, and the government has no way to deal with them unless the Ministry of Internal Affairs takes action.

Even when one reaches the third rank, even the Ministry of Internal Affairs has difficulty controlling him.

After all, people can just find a mountain to hide in for ten or twenty years.

"My Lord, please forgive my poor eyesight."

The officer under him said helplessly.

It was pitch dark, so not only could I not see clearly, but even if I saw clearly I wouldn't dare to say anything.

Otherwise, if someone holds a grudge against you, you’ll be in trouble.

Wang Wenbin exhaled heavily several times, unsure of the other party's intention.

The most serious damage to the government office was in the courtroom, which looked like a slap in the face.

The masters under his command responded immediately and the fight was evenly matched. Finally, an outsider came and drove the opponent away in one fell swoop, leaving behind several corpses.

As for the name of the Thousand Vine Demon Princess, Wang Wenbin was also unfamiliar with it, but his men also shook their heads, so he did not ask more.

Whether the warriors under his command are truly confused or just pretending to be confused, it proves that they are not easy to mess with.

"Sir, this matter..."

The officer looked at Wang Wenbin and asked for instructions.

"I will personally report this to His Majesty tomorrow. Just take care of this place first."

"By the way, ask about Qian Teng Mo Ji and Mo Tian Sheng. I want to report their information as well."

Wang Wenbin made it clear directly that they only needed to inquire about the news and he would report it directly, and they didn't need to worry about anything else.

The officer heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and hurriedly obeyed the order.

After being awakened, Wang Wenbin was no longer sleepy and hurriedly summoned the main officials of Luodong City to discuss matters.

But it was still dark, and it might take some time to gather everyone together.

Wang Wenbin was just planning to wait patiently, but at daybreak he was summoned by Emperor Yongyuan.

He did not dare to delay and immediately got on the sedan chair and headed for the palace. As a result, he happened to meet other officials who had rushed to the government office at the door.

"Everyone, His Majesty has summoned us. Let's go quickly."

The others didn't understand what was going on, so they quickly changed direction and followed Wang Wenbin.

When they arrived, Emperor Yongyuan had been waiting for them for a long time.

Also getting up early were King Zheng and many of his accompanying officials.

They were all yawning and sleepy.

The banquet lasted until late at night. Many people had just laid down for a few hours when they were all pulled out again. Naturally, they were not in good spirits.

But Emperor Yongyuan was different. He was full of energy early in the morning, obviously having had a good sleep.

When Wang Wenbin and other officials from Luodong City arrived, Emperor Yongyuan immediately asked:
"I heard that someone attacked the government office not long ago. What happened?"

Wang Wenbin glanced in the direction of King Zheng, and seeing that he had no instructions, he immediately explained everything that had happened before.

Hearing that someone had attacked the government office and caused considerable damage, everyone became alert.

boom!
Emperor Yongyuan slammed the table and said angrily:

"This happened right after I arrived. It seems someone has ulterior motives and wants to teach me a lesson!"

"Prefect Wang, you mentioned Qian Teng Mo Ji just now, right?"

In response to Emperor Yongyuan's question, Wang Wenbin quickly added, "There is another person who calls himself Mo Tiansheng."

"According to Magistrate Wang's description, this man seemed to have acted out of righteousness and helped you kill several criminals."

Emperor Yongyuan looked thoughtful, and then said:

"But what Prefect Wang said makes sense. Zhao Feng, do you know the origins of these two people?"

Emperor Yongyuan pretended to ask Zhao Feng who was standing beside him.

Zhao Feng immediately stepped forward and replied:

"Your Majesty."

"Qian Teng Mo Ji is a giant of the magic world. She has a lot of blood on her hands and her strength is even more powerful."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has received intelligence about the previous attack in Jinghou County, and it was this person who was responsible."

"And I heard that not long after the southern tour team left Jiaozhou City, the government office in Jiaozhou City was also attacked by experts, and was repelled by Governor Jiang and the local righteous experts."

"Coupled with the attack on Luodong City, it seems that the demons are carrying out a series of crazy and targeted attacks on the government."

After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Emperor Yongyuan flew into a rage:
"Bastard!"

"Zhao Feng, how could you, as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, allow such a thing to happen?"

Zhao Feng hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

"These evil demons have always refused to obey discipline and have relied on their cultivation to commit crimes."

"Even if I want to take care of it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs really doesn't have the manpower to do it."

Zhao Feng started crying miserably as he was skilled at it.

"Are you really that powerful?"

"Better than the masters of the Imperial Palace?"

Emperor Yongyuan looked unconvinced.

King Zheng and a group of officials have already noticed that something is wrong.

King Zheng was about to say something, but Zhao Feng spoke first:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the masters of the palace can naturally subdue these evil demons, but won't the guards around your majesty be weakened accordingly?"

"I am afraid that these evil heretics have ulterior motives and are targeting Your Majesty, so I dare not act rashly. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Zhao Feng said aggrievedly.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

"How can I, the great Daxing, be afraid of these evil demons?"

Emperor Yongyuan was furious.

At this time, the two dukes who had always kept a low profile stepped forward and made suggestions.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the affairs of the underworld are the affairs of the underworld."

"To deal with these people, there is no need for the government to take direct action."

"I recognize the other person that Magistrate Wang mentioned earlier. He is a hero with great reputation in the capital."

"It looks like Mo Tiansheng is hunting down this gang of criminals. Why not send out another call for heroes and ask the righteous martial arts community to purge these scums."

"Our government can open the door to convenience and offer some rewards. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Su Dingan proposed, and Hou Zhongguo nodded in agreement.

This made others feel uncomfortable.

Prince Zheng couldn't help but wink at Wang Wenbin.

After all, it was his government office that was attacked, so as the person involved, he still had some say.

But as soon as Wang Wenbin opened his mouth, his face suddenly changed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell unconscious to the ground, and his life or death was unknown.

"Someone, come quickly!"
