The Emperor is Above

Chapter 290: Prisoner of the Vassal
Qianye Weng is a man of deep scheming, and there is malice hidden in his words and actions.

It seemed that he was controlling Qing Yi with his Qi, but he was secretly using his Qi to seal his vocal cords, making it impossible for Qing Yi to speak out in defense.

Fortunately, this first-rank grandmaster did not expect that Qing Yi was practicing Qi Refining Technique. Under Pan Qing's guidance, he tried his best to break through that trace of Qi, and was able to barely make a sound.

"Ok?"

Qianye Weng was stunned, his eyes became even more gloomy and deep. While he was slightly surprised, he also knew that he could not forcibly stop it again, so he just stood aside with a cold face.

Qing Yi was also worried that this first-rank grandmaster might have some evil intentions, so he hurriedly said to Xing Hou: "My Lord, do you know that evil gods and ghosts have gathered in the capital, and a great disaster will befall. The young master has long been replaced by a monster, and many tragedies are caused by him."

"My Lord and Father——How did I become a monster——Wuwuwu——"

Xing Jiyin threw himself in front of Xing Hou again, crying loudly with a look of grievance on his face, which caused Xing Hou to jump off his horse, hug him and caress him gently, but he remained silent for a long time.

"What a country boy, his mouth is full of nonsense!"

Qianye Weng sneered first, he glanced at Xing Jiyin who was sobbing, then stared at Qing Yi, "As everyone knows, ghosts and evil things will emit evil spirits, even the ghost king and evil things are no exception.

The young master has behaved a little bit naughty over the years, but there is no evil spirit in him. Even a first-class grandmaster like me can't see anything unusual. How dare you say that you can see through the young master and he is a monster?"

Qianye Weng's words made everyone present feel complicated. After all, even a first-rank grandmaster patted his chest and guaranteed that Xing Jiyin had absolutely no doubts. They simply couldn't believe that Qing Yi could see anything unusual.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qianye. Guqiu Yi is just exaggerating to divert your attention. It's just a child's self-help act."

Shangqing Zhonghang Huan also spoke with a sneer on his face, then turned around and stared at Qing Yi and sneered, "Guqiu Yi has always been famous for being a young talent in the country, don't you know the saying that distant relatives can't separate relatives?
The young master has always been favored by the prince, but you were so audacious as to attempt to kill him. Now you want to slander the young master as a monster in order to get rid of the sin of murdering the young master?"

"Mr. Zhonghang is too serious. I think there must be something fishy about this matter!"

Huo Yunyaqing stood up with a serious expression. He had been frowning since he came to the scene to ask Qiu Yuan about some situations.

"Sergeant Guqiu Yi has made many outstanding achievements. Your Excellency thinks highly of him. With his military achievements, he will surely be promoted to the rank of Junior Official this year. How could he assassinate the young prince for no reason?
In addition, Sergeant Guqiu Yi also said that evil gods and ghosts are hiding in the capital now. Even Bao Bu Tong, the senior official guarding Yanjin City, was assassinated many times by the Wutong Sect on his way back to the capital.

Just now, Linghu Ming, the worshipper, had said that many cat ghosts and servants of gods were killed in the capital today. There have indeed been monsters eating people in the capital for the past year, and the two first-class grandmasters Qianye Weng and Shimen Sou could not find any trace of them.

This shows that there are indeed some powerful evil spirits and ghosts in the capital. Perhaps Sergeant Guqiu Yi was also deceived by the evil spirits and ghosts hiding in the dark, which led to such a misunderstanding. "

"Mr. Huo Yunya, please be careful with your words!"

Zhong Xing Shuo covered his chest which was hit and interrupted with a cold expression. After all, saying this in front of Qianye Weng really meant exposing his shortcomings and slapping him in the face.

He refuted bluntly: "When I fought with Guqiu Yi just now, I didn't find that he was confused. It's just that a boy under sixteen years old can rival the second-grade judge. I'm afraid he sold his soul to the evil god in exchange. It seems suspicious."

"Alas - what the great priest said is wrong!"

Shang Qing Shi Kuang had a faint smile on his face and said loudly, "The power of evil gods and ghosts is so subtle and treacherous. How can you conclude that Senior Sergeant Gu Qiuyi has not been deceived by the monsters in the dark?
In addition, Guqiu Yi is a young genius, and he has always been valued by Shimen Sou. How could he have sold his soul to the evil god in exchange for it? If the evil god has such strength, the Black Wind Tribe is afraid that the great masters will be gone."

"Hmph——" Qianye Weng snorted coldly, but did not say anything.

"My Lord, the young master is indeed a man-eating monster. I already have evidence in my hands. As long as I -"

Qing Yi knew that Shi Dazhu had gone to look for Old Man Shi, and guys like Daniu and Mu Yi had followed Gongsun Wu out of the capital to search for future subjects in the surrounding areas of the capital. Now there was only one witness, Shi Ludan, in the capital. At least the evidence could attract the king's attention.

However, the ministers who had long disliked him would never give him a chance to speak. Senior Minister Qi Xi interrupted him without hesitation and said loudly with a fair look on his face:
"My Lord, please allow me to report this. The country has long had criminal laws: those who kill others will be put to death, and those who injure others will be punished. Guqiu Yi took the initiative to fight privately in the capital, destroying countless houses and causing dozens of casualties.

How can we ignore the tragic death and injuries of our countrymen just because of his great contributions to the country? We should arrest him and bring him to justice, so as to give an explanation to the people of our country. "

As the senior ministers Zhonghang Huan and Qi Xi expressed their opinions one after another, Gu Liangqian and Chunyu Fen also spoke righteously: "We sincerely ask you to arrest Guqiu Yi as soon as possible and punish him, so as to correct the people's hearts."

In fact, everyone knew that the six priests were the main persons responsible for the damage to the house, but they all pushed the blame onto Qing Yi.

Xing Hou had been silent just now. At this moment, he glanced at Qianye Weng, Zhonghang Huan, Zhonghang Shuo, Qi Xi, Gu Liangying, Chunyu Fen with a complicated expression, and then looked at Yun Shuyu and Yang Lezi who remained silent, as well as Shi Kuang and Huo Yun who looked surprised.

Finally, he spoke slowly with a cold expression: "Guqiu Yi has made great contributions to the country many times. I didn't want to capture him for personal vendettas, but as vassals, we fought in the capital, resulting in heavy casualties among the people.

For the time being, Guqiu Yi will be detained as a prisoner among the vassal states in Shangcheng and guarded by Taishu Bingxin, the Black Armor Cavalry. He will be questioned after a thorough investigation three days after the Winter Sacrifice Ceremony.

Linghu Ming, you, Yun Shengyan, and Yue Chengqing should continue to patrol and search for the cat ghosts and servants in the next few days. Zhong Xingshuo, Wei Yuan, and Qi Ce should focus on hunting down the Five Evil Gods and that evil creature. It is a great shame for the country to have these monsters running rampant.

Xing Jiyin was the youngest son and was extremely naughty. When monsters were rampant in the capital, he still played around wantonly, which led to this tragedy. I confiscate the travel token given to you and sentence you to be confined in the palace for three months."

After Xing Hou made this decision, Qing Yi felt a little relieved. He didn't know why Xing Hou made such a decision, but it was undoubtedly a kind of protection for himself.

In the lower city, there are Linghu Ming and other gods who are dedicated to capturing cat ghosts and gods, so Shi Ludan and Tun Shigu should not be in too much danger.

As long as Shi Dazhu and Shi Laoweng show up in a few days and produce a series of other evidence, he will be able to clear himself of suspicion.

However, when Xing Jiyin left with Xing Hou, the look he gave Qing Yi not only showed no worry, but instead a hint of pride flashed across his eyes. Qing Yi suddenly felt uneasy again.

Since the monster disguised as Xing Jiyin was unwilling to reveal his identity in Shangcheng in the past, it was obvious that his mission was to be in Shangcheng. Even if Xing Hou confined him to the palace and did not allow him to go out, it would not affect his actions at all.

On the contrary, for Old Man Shi, who was far away from the capital, he had to face the cat ghost god and its servants who came out in person. Whether he could return safely was a big question.

But Lord Xing, the ministers, and Qianye Weng had already left, so Qing Yi could only smile to Tai Shu Bing and said, "Commander Tai Shu, do you also think that I am so crazy that I want to assassinate the young master? That is really a monster in disguise."

"Ugh--"

Taishu Bingxin sighed with a complicated expression, "I don't believe that you, Sergeant Guqiu Yi, would assassinate the young master, but I can only try my best to protect you from being harmed. I just hope that the truth of the matter can be found out as soon as possible."

Thanks for the reward from Youyaoqi. I will try to publish the second chapter before 2 o'clock.
