It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 125 Is there still a demon king in the Taiyin Mountains?

The imperial envoy exchanged pleasantries for a while at the South City Gate, and then everyone walked towards the yamen.

The Yanxiang Society also went, or rather, all the guild presidents went.

However, after arriving at the yamen, Lu Yuan and his companions sat at the very end of the seats.

Now the imperial envoy must first talk to the officials outside the Great Wall to find out about the situation outside the Great Wall.

These have nothing to do with the guild leaders, they need to be questioned in turn, and it will be the guild’s turn later.

So Lu Yuan and his people could only wait until these officials finished speaking.

At this time, Lu Yuan held Aunt Qingluan's hand and whispered to comfort her:
“Don’t worry, Aunt Qingluan.

I will definitely ask you about this.”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Li Qingluan looked at Lu Yuan and nodded repeatedly.

It was about noon.

The imperial envoy had a general conversation with the officials outside the Great Wall.

He said that he wanted to investigate the administration of officials outside the Great Wall.

But in fact, both Lu Yuan and these officials knew that the imperial envoy's visit this time would not be that simple.

It’s just that these officials don’t know that the imperial envoy is seeking the military power of the Liaodong border army.

"Master Lin, we have prepared a welcoming banquet for you at Yushizhai.

It's noon now, let's talk while eating."

Someone in the guild spoke up for Lu Yuan.

And this Imperial Envoy Lin waved his hand and said:
"I am following the Emperor's orders..."

This Imperial Envoy Lin kept saying something here and there, the general meaning of which was that he would not accept invitations.

He said he was busy dealing with things outside the customs.

He looks like a clean-handed person, like an honest official.

However, Lu Yuan actually knew something about this guy.

Gao Mingna told Lu Yuan about the temperament of this imperial envoy.

Immediately, Lu Yuan stood up and said:

"My lord, this is not an invitation to dinner.

It's noon and we're about to eat.

This everybody is hungry.

If you don't eat, everyone will go hungry.

Otherwise, you should come with us."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the officials around him nodded in agreement.

Imperial Envoy Lin listened to Lu Yuan's words, and finally nodded with a smile and said:
"In that case, this is the only way."

This is like giving a slope and then going down it.

Regarding the actions of the imperial envoy, everyone present, whether it was Lu Yuan, the officials outside the Great Wall, or the presidents of the guilds, were shocked.

Everyone thought that this imperial envoy really liked to take off his pants and fart.

Speaking of the area outside the Great Wall, even in the official circles, people have always been more straightforward.

It is relatively rare to see someone farting after taking off their pants.

After all, everyone knows these things. Doing this, do you think it will cause you trouble?

Everyone felt emotional, as there were so many people coming from the imperial city.

……

Then everyone went to Yushizhai together.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Yuan looked at Aunt Qingluan who seemed a little distracted and consoled her:

"Auntie, don't worry.

On the other hand, at least my mother's life is not in danger."

Everyone also noticed the aura of the jade pendant on the imperial envoy just now.

That doesn't mean sealing up Lu Yuan's mother-in-law's soul, nor does it mean any other evil means.

The jade pendant was infused with the blood of Lu Yuan's mother-in-law.

In that case, at least the blood must be alive.

So at least the mother-in-law is still alive.

Of course, there are times in this world when death is better than life.

But being alive is always a good thing.

……

When they arrived at Yushizhai, it was still the same room where the old eunuch had been.

Things are different now.

The last time Lu Yuan came here, he was just a little quack who had just come out of the Yanxiang Society’s mine.

But now, Lu Yuan has transformed himself into the boss of Yanxiang Club.

There are still two tables in this big room.

One table was for officials outside the Great Wall, and the other table was for guild presidents.

Logically speaking, Lu Yuan and his family should sit at the guild table.

However, when the imperial envoy finally distributed the tables, he assigned Lu Yuan and his family to the table for officials.

After everyone sat down, they began to flatter.

The imperial envoy was very happy to listen to such meaningless words.

Although what these people say is really meaningless.

But this mindless flattery will eventually come to an end.

After all, who is this person and what are his previous achievements?

This is actually not clear to some county magistrates outside the Great Wall.

Apart from saying that the imperial envoy is wise and brave, there is not much else to say.

Only the governor outside the Great Wall and Prefect Chen could say a few words about this topic to the imperial envoy.

These three people are at the same level and can still chat with each other.

It's just that the governor and prefect Chen seemed to know something about what the imperial envoy did this time.

This matter is quite sensitive and hard to talk about.

So after talking for a while, the three of them had nothing more to say.

At this time, Lu Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to look at Lin the Imperial Envoy and said:

"Your Excellency, you seem to be more fond of jade?"

“You don’t know that everyone in this world knows that jade is produced in the Western Regions and Southern Myanmar.

But I didn't know that there is also a place outside the pass where jade is produced.

The jades here are all of fine quality. If the imperial envoy likes jade, Yanxiang Society will also do business here.

I can help the Imperial Envoy keep an eye out for some of this."

Not only the imperial envoy, but even the officials outside the Great Wall standing by were confused by Lu Yuan's words.

All I know is that outside the Great Wall there are abundant herbs, tree barks, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

When did jade begin to be produced outside the Great Wall?

The officials outside the customs were full of questions.

The imperial envoy also had a face full of question marks.

The reason why Imperial Envoy Lin had a puzzled look on his face was not because Lu Yuan said that there was a lot of jade outside the Great Wall.

But when did you start to like jade?

But if you say I like it, it's not wrong.

After all, a piece of fine jade can cost thousands of gold coins.

It’s just that I like gold and silver more than jade.

Lu Yuan's sudden words made the imperial envoy raise his eyebrows with some interest and said:

"Oh, is it so?
Is jade also abundant outside the Great Wall?
This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”

Lu Yuan nodded seriously and said:
“This matter didn’t take long.

Just last year, a jade pit was discovered on the southwest side of Taiyin Mountains.

There are so many beautiful gems in there.

It's awesome.

If you like, we can help you choose two pieces from the jade pit."

Taiyin Mountains?

Southwest side?
Jade pit?
The officials outside the customs were confused.

When did a jade pit appear on the southwest side of the Taiyin Mountains?
Everyone looked confused.

But soon several officials came up with something.

Several officials serving around the southwest side of the Taiyin Mountains couldn't help but curl their lips.

Hi.

That thing is also called a jade pit?
Several jade sites had indeed been discovered on the southwest side of the Taiyin Mountains.

However, the size of the pit was estimated to be smaller than Lu Yuan's toilet, and there were only a few pieces of broken jade in it.

If that thing can be considered a jade pit, and it is compared with the Western Regions and Southern Myanmar, it is really a joke.

But everyone was smart and no one exposed it.

Everyone just thought that Lu Yuan was really outrageous.

This is really about taking advantage of any opportunity and climbing any pole you see.

This is an attempt to please the Imperial Envoy and give him a gift.

But this seems normal when you think about it.

Among the guilds outside the Great Wall today, the Yanxiang Guild is the most dominant.

It is inevitable that this imperial envoy's mission will affect the Yanxiang Society.

After all, it's a guild.

That's really accurate.

No.

Not to mention the guild, it’s the same for everyone.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of crisis and began to find ways to please the imperial envoy.

It's just that others think so.

In fact, Lu Yuan didn't want to give any beautiful jade to the Imperial Envoy Lin.

Of course.

If he really wants this thing, it wouldn't hurt to give him a few pieces.

Just pick a few from Yanxianghui’s warehouse.

But Lu Yuan definitely did not say this to bribe Imperial Envoy Lin. After all, how could one bribe openly in front of so many people?
Lu Yuan said this was just a starting point.

As expected, Imperial Envoy Lin looked at Lu Yuan with a smile and said:

“That’s not necessary.

I have been ordered by the Emperor to come to the border areas not for any beautiful jade.

Besides, how does Mr. Lu know that I like beautiful jade?
It’s better not to speculate.”

Imperial Envoy Lin felt that Lu Yuan was a little mentally unwell.

Just now, Lu Yuan asked me to come here for dinner, and he said it very nicely.

Why is it that after this happened, it seems like I suddenly lost my brain?
Can you talk about this casually?
In front of so many people, even if you really want to give it to me, can I accept it?
I said I like it in front of so many people, so you give me two pieces?
Get down!

It's really embarrassing!

However, Lu Yuan sat aside and bowed repeatedly, apologetically saying:

"We noticed that the jade on your waist is not an ordinary item.

So I thought you were a jade lover, so I asked a few more questions."

Jade around the waist?

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the imperial envoy lowered his head.

Finally, he noticed the green jade stone around his waist.

Seeing this, the imperial envoy took off the jade and said with sudden enlightenment:
"Oh~
You said this.

This is not some fine jade.

This is just an ordinary jade stone infused with the blood of the demon king.

Because it was stained by the blood of the demon king, it turned green all over. "

No one expected that Imperial Envoy Lin would be so open and frank in revealing the details of the jade.

Especially when Imperial Envoy Lin said that the jade was infused with the blood of the demon king.

Aunt Qingluan, who was sitting next to Lu Yuan, couldn't hold it anymore.

I will explode immediately!!
Fortunately, Jin Meijing and Aunt Qiao'er were quick to act and held Li Qingluan under the table, thus preventing Li Qingluan from having an attack.

Lu Yuan looked at Lin the Imperial Envoy in astonishment and said:

"The blood of the demon king?"

Envoy Lin nodded casually and said:

"right.

More than ten years ago, a demon king from outside the Great Wall came to Beijing to file a complaint.

It seems that her husband was..."

Having said this, the imperial envoy seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped talking.

He just waved his hand casually and said:
“Anyway, he was caught by Master Liu in the end.

It has been kept in the mansion over the years to extract its essence and blood.

The demon king's blood is a good thing.

Even if one's life is hanging by a thread and one's breath is almost gone, just one drop of the demon king's blood can bring one back to life.

It is countless times more powerful than the best blood spirit stone."

After hearing the words of the imperial envoy, Lu Yuan and his family were stunned.

In fact, as the imperial envoy said just now, there is the blood of the demon king in the jade.

Lu Yuan and his family basically understood what was going on.

After all, the lowest among Lu Yuan's family is a heavenly master, so he naturally knows what essence and blood are.

But that was just a guess at best, and no one expected it to come from the imperial envoy's own mouth.

What shocked Lu Yuan's family in particular was.

Can this thing be said casually?
Isn't this bad?

From what happened just now, it can be seen that this imperial envoy is a very cautious person.

Lu Yuan mentioned jade, and he cared a lot about it.

Even if he wanted to come to Yushizhai for dinner, he would have to hear someone else tell him to come.

From another perspective, he is a veteran.

I am the kind of person who doesn't take any responsibility for anything and never takes the blame for anything that happens.

But he could just say it casually.

Can this be said?

This is more serious than asking for jade here for a treat, right? ?

Lu Yuan looked at the imperial envoy with a confused look on his face and said:

"Sir, has the imperial court issued an edict...

Whether they are demons or humans, they are all citizens of the empire..."

Can you say this casually?

Here outside the Great Wall, even a half-demon like Aunt Qiaoer.

You can bully them in private, you can beat them to death in private, or throw them into the wild, that’s fine.

But if it ends up in court, once the evidence is conclusive, you have really been bullied.

Then they will definitely arrest you and put you in jail.

It's a no-brainer.

And now the imperial envoy actually said it so casually without any restraint?
What did you just say?

What I just said was that Lu Yuan’s mother-in-law was captured and used as a blood slave!
You must know that essence and blood are not just any blood.

It doesn't mean that if you cut your finger, you will just bleed.

This demon king may only have one or two drops of blood in his body.

It requires years of gradual practice to condense in the body.

Once this thing is extracted from the body, it will be extremely damaging to the vitality of the monster.

This is a very vicious thing.

This is strictly prohibited by the "Shenling Law" and is a serious crime.

How could a high-ranking official in the imperial court speak so openly and without concealment?

And listen to the words of this Imperial Envoy Lin.

This sentence seems to be a trivial matter.

And it’s not just Imperial Envoy Lin, there’s also Lord Liu?

So Lord Liu is the mastermind?

The key point is that Lord Liu mentioned by Imperial Envoy Lin is at least a super red-robed official of the first or second rank.

He is the kind of senior official who can attend court.

Of course, the old emperor of the Shenling Empire has not attended court for nearly twenty years.

When Lu Yuan's family was in shock.

Imperial Envoy Lin didn't care at all about what Lu Yuan said.

Such an extremely cautious old man just waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

He looked at Lu Yuan curiously and said:
"Is there still a demon king in the Taiyin Mountains now?"

this? ?

What are you trying to do?
