Chapter 343 Discovery (Subscription Request)

After a moment, Lin Rui put away the scroll in his hand with a serious expression.

"Miss Zhao, are the events related to the King of Han recorded in this scroll true or false?"

"Of course it's true!" Fang Ranran cupped her hands. "My ancestor has all the evidence, but he has been keeping it secret all this time, just for fear of the impact on the court."

She paused and said, "Our witness is right next to Huipin."

Lin Rui raised his eyebrows first, then smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is not easy to handle. If the emperor knew about it, I'm afraid he would not look good."

Normal people don’t like such scandals to be exposed. Many people would rather keep the matter to themselves than let others know that they are cuckolded, let alone the emperor of the Song Dynasty?

There are many ways to deal with infidelity, and there's no need to make it a global public event.

Not to mention that the person who cheated on the emperor was the sixth prince.

Once this matter is exposed, will the dignity of the emperor and the royal family still be maintained?

Therefore, although rashly exposing this matter could put the King of Han to death, it would also cause the emperor's jealousy.

"Indeed!" Fang Ranran said solemnly, "My ancestor kept this matter to himself out of concern for the emperor's reputation. He has always been troubled by this. My ancestor said that how to proceed is entirely up to you, my lord. No matter what, he will do his utmost to cooperate."

Lin Rui smiled slightly, thinking that Fang Ranran's grandfather was indeed a powerful man.

Not only did this person weave a huge intelligence network within Tianji Star over the past few hundred years and obtain a lot of confidential information, he was also ruthless and decisive in his actions.

This scroll recorded seventeen businesses, forty-six landlords, one hundred and twenty-two warehouses, and 5214 people who were suspected to be alien beings - most of whom were related to the Jin family.

These are either the industries and personnel under the Jin family, or the allies of the Jin family. The Jin family's business focus is not in Luojing, but he has many allies in Luojing.

This is clearly an attempt to kill the Jin family!
Interestingly, the scroll explicitly mentions that these people are engaged in illegal business.

It was illegal in the Song Dynasty, and the same was true in the Ninth Base City. For example, a business called "Fuhai Trading Company" and three local tycoons ran a "Tianyan Tobacco" business, which was a drug raw material that was expressly prohibited by the Earth Federation.

They even transplanted three plants, opium, coca, and marijuana, to Tianji Star, using ether elements to catalyze the mutation of these plants, giving them more powerful hallucinogenic effects.

Lin Rui thought that when it comes to living in Tianji Star, the people he should be most wary of are his own kind.

Whenever a conflict broke out between the Linghu family and the Jin family, they would do anything to harm each other, not caring at all that the other party was a fellow villager or the same kind.

The Jin family is not innocent at all. The money their trading company earns is all sucked from the blood of ordinary people.

"I understand!" Lin Rui stood up and said apologetically, "I have to go to the palace as soon as possible. Little sister, please accompany Miss Yingxu for me."

Fang Ranran raised her eyebrows when she heard this, thinking that Lord Lin actually called her by her name directly. Was this a way of showing closeness?

She then looked at Zhou Yunxi with a smile. Lin Hao letting this girl accompany her was exactly what Fang Ranran wanted.

As far as Fang Ranran knew, Lin Hao doted on this adopted sister extremely. As long as she could win this girl over, she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to speak in front of Lin Hao in the future.

Lin Xi felt helpless. She could see what Fang Ranran was thinking, but the problem was that she didn't need to be won over.

She has always been grateful to Fang Ranran, the eldest daughter of the Fang family who provided them with shelter and resources when they were in their most difficult times.

An hour later, in the small courtyard next to the Third Divine Envoy Courtyard.

Luo Wangshu tried hard to maintain his elegant demeanor, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh. He clapped his hands on the ground beside him, making a resounding "dong dong" sound, and laughed with gloating glee: "Are you telling the truth? The King of Han and the Emperor's Concubine Hui have been having an affair for half a year? According to the outer demons, this should be the so-called cuckold, right? The question is, how did the King of Han hide it from his father? It's unlikely, right? His Majesty is a 'Ninth Realm Super Emperor'. His divine consciousness covers the entire palace. How could he not sense it?"

She and the second divine envoy are currently both at the 'Ninth Realm Emperor' level, while the Emperor and the first divine envoy are at the 'Ninth Realm Super Emperor' level!
Luo Wangshu knew that these two were not unable to go further, but they just did not dare to cross the door of "immortality".

With the emperor's power, how could he be deceived by King Han and Concubine Hui?
"Zhao Yang seems to have arranged someone to stay by King Han's side." Lin Rui smiled bitterly: "It is said that she is not in the palace. Huipin returns home to visit her family every two weeks."

Tianjixing also has etiquette and laws, but they are different from those in ancient China. The etiquette and laws here are much more relaxed.

In ancient China, concubines had no chance to leave the palace to visit their families, but in the Song Dynasty, they could.

This is because the emperor's empress and concubines all came from powerful aristocratic families, and their unions were essentially marriage alliances, so the emperor respected his concubines very much.

"Oh?" Luo Wangshu pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "This is really interesting. Xiao Haohao, what do you think of Zhao Yang?"

When Lin Rui heard Luo Wangshu call him "Xiao Haohao", his face twitched slightly.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s a good thing that Master is willing to call him that and is willing to be close to him.

"There's definitely a problem." Lin Rui said with a serious expression, "But since I haven't found any problems yet, and the Divine Envoy Supervisor hasn't allowed me to investigate, I won't delve into it for now."

Luo Wangshu nodded slightly. "What about the wardens of the Ninth and Tenth Prisons? Didn't you ask them to investigate the King of Han's illegal activities? Have they found anything?" "They're just dawdling." Lin Rui chuckled. "Dozens of censors previously submitted impeachment memorials to the King of Han, but didn't the Emperor withhold them? You divine messengers haven't pressed the issue, which seems to give them hope."

The power of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was still very great. Although the Divine Envoy held the highest power in making decisions on government affairs, the Emperor decided the order of the political process. What could be discussed, whether to discuss it, and when to discuss it were all decided by the Emperor.

Lin Rui said leisurely, "These two are either too deeply involved and can't leave King Han, or they simply don't take me seriously. In short, they don't take the opportunities I gave them seriously. They're trying every possible way to delay, and they seem to be secretly helping King Han clean up his mess and handle some of the cases. They're even planning to disrupt the treasury and change the old files."

A hint of fierceness appeared in Luo Wangshu's eyes: "Can you get rid of them?"

"Easy." Lin Rui nodded. "I originally prepared some tricks for them, but now it seems redundant. The problem now is, after we deal with them, can our people get up?"

Luo Wangshu couldn't help but sigh secretly, this closed disciple really made her feel at ease.

Her power in the Divine Prison has always been weak.

Even the four current guardians have inherited the legacy of the previous first divine envoy and have been maintained until now, but are becoming increasingly weak.

"Don't interfere in the affairs of King Han and Concubine Hui. Leave it to me. The emperor is generous on the outside but cautious on the inside. It's best to let him discover this matter himself. You only need to follow my instructions. When the time comes, you can take action against these two people."

Luo Wangshu then waved his sleeves and said, "Alright, let's start today's lesson. Let me see how the secret sword technique I taught you is going."

She taught Lin Rui a secret martial arts sword move three days ago, wanting to see what Lin Rui's talent was.

Lin Rui responded immediately. He held the seal in his left hand and the knife in his right hand. Then the surrounding light and time void began to become chaotic.

Lin Rui's figure then flashed and moved quickly in this space.

Occasionally, he would swing his knife with incredible speed.

This is the sixth-level super-imperial move 'Cosmic Light Slash' given to him by Professor Luo Wangshu.

Luo Wangshu believed that although Lin Hao possessed two powerful bloodline talents, 'Shen Yang Tian Zhou' and 'Chao Yang Tian Shun', the way he used them was very crude, and he failed to bring out these two extremely powerful abilities.

Especially in terms of true energy, there is a huge waste. According to Lin Hao's method, he can only use it once or twice in battle.

It just so happened that Luo Wangshu once captured and killed a seventh-level super-emperor master, and obtained the true intention of a super-emperor move related to the sequence of light from this person, and taught it to Lin Rui.

Needless to say, the power of this "Cosmic Light Slash" is great. The key is that its efficiency in utilizing the time void is ten times greater than before.

With the same amount of true energy, Lin Rui could only cause a large-scale distortion of the surrounding space and time once before, but now he can do it more than 10 times.

This is a pure sword technique. The reason why Lin Rui made the seal with one hand was to attract the gift that Luo Wangshu gave him at the apprenticeship banquet. It was a sixth-level super-emperor magic weapon in the shape of a token, named "Instant Light Token".

The ability of this thing is just as its name suggests. It can manipulate light and timing to a certain extent, thereby greatly enhancing the power of related moves.

Lin Rui had used the power of this item when he fought Yue Tianqing before.

Luo Wangshu wanted to test this disciple and see what his talent was.

But after watching it today, she felt a little helpless, thinking that her disciple's talent was simply inhuman.

Luo Wangshu noticed that Lin Hao was still unfamiliar with the secret move, but this was because he had just started practicing and was not very proficient.

However, Lin Hao's control over true energy, martial arts, light, and temporal power is very thorough, and his intentions are also very high.

This shows that Lin Hao has fully comprehended the core of this secret move. He can even improve it and graft it onto his own fundamental martial arts "Purple Yang Posture" and "Purple Yang Tribulation Blade", using these two martial arts as the foundation, thereby doubling its power.

"Alright!" Luo Wangshu sighed secretly, then pointed forward and asked Lin Rui to sit in front of him: "Your understanding is really speechless. Fortunately, it's me. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the face to be your master."

She then pressed Lin Rui's heart with one hand and began to strengthen Lin Rui's body, blood, true essence and martial arts!

In essence, it is similar to what Meng Weiyun did to Lin Rui before, but how powerful is Luo Wangshu?

Not only has she already stepped halfway into the Ten Realms, but she has also mastered the conceptual power of the Extreme Heavenly Venerable, the Growth Heavenly Venerable, and the Solid Law Heavenly Venerable. The effect of strengthening Lin Rui's soul and body far exceeds that of Meng Weiyun.

Luo Wangshu didn't need to touch forehead with Lin Rui. Just a slight contact of the bodies was enough to improve his martial arts and the quality of his true energy.

At this moment, her expression changed slightly, and she looked at Lin Rui's forehead in shock.

"What are you doing?"

She waved her sleeves violently, unexpectedly shielding her surroundings with a layer of temporal void power. Then she uttered the next sentence word by word: "Abyssal Origin Core and the Method of Purification?"
