I have an eternal eye
Chapter 31 The aftermath
The world is bustling, everyone comes here for the name,
The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the benefit of others.
Especially as an official in the capital, money is needed to deal with favors and pay attention to ostentation. How can you maintain your current dignity with the small salary from the court.
They are not like local officials who have clan support behind them and have vast hectares of fertile land.
Therefore, existences such as Yi Chonghui and Temple Xiangji Kitchen can prosper.
Now that there is a fire, everything comes to an end.
Some people just had heartache in their eyes, and some simply rolled their eyes and fainted...
There was also the woman who was in charge of financial power, lying on the ground wailing and cursing...
The scene was chaotic for a time.
Although Zuo Mingqiu, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, was dissatisfied with Guo An, his face darkened when he saw such a situation. "They are all officials of the imperial court. No matter how dignified they are, please go back and wait for news!"
After all, they were high-ranking officials of the third rank. Once their official authority was revealed, these people did not dare to disobey, so they sighed and left one after another.
Zuo Mingqiu glanced at Guo An again and said calmly: "Since Mr. Guo said that it is a matter of confidentiality, it is inconvenient for me to ask more questions. Then you can explain it to the emperor!"
After that, he turned around and left with the people.
"Hmph! Wine bags and rice bags..."
The white-browed eagle, who was carrying a big bow, looked at his head and snorted coldly, sarcastically.
This person's name is Xu Bai, who is known as the "Dead Man" in the world. He is not good at solving crimes, but is good at chasing down murderers, which makes many green forest thieves afraid of him.
The scholar-looking man was called Zhuge Wanjun. He was as meticulous as a hair and had repeatedly solved unsolved cases. However, few people in the yamen dared to call him by his full name, so he was only called Zhuge Shenping.
Huo Feng's face became even more ugly when he heard this.
The words of Jingzhao Prefect could not be more clear. The blame will be placed on Liumenmen, and as the person in charge of the night watch, he will naturally bear the blame.
But to his surprise, the chief catcher Guo An did not blame him, but turned around and said: "After the fire is out, go in and search. Don't let go of any clues."
"I'll go into the palace. Zhuge is in charge here. If I find..."
Halfway through his words, he took a deep breath, looked gloomy, and strode away.
The arresters were confused when they heard this, but seeing Guo An's suppressed anger, no one dared to say anything.
The fire lasted for an entire hour before it slowly extinguished, leaving only the ruins of the century-old temple and the lingering smoke.
Zhuge Shenping led the team, and everyone used iron hooks to open up the scorched earth and ashes and open up a path.
The goal is to point directly at the pagoda.
Zhang Biao knew that the chief arrester Guo An had probably informed the two divine arresters about the Lianhua Sect.
After digging through the ruins, a half-burnt corpse suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Many people with sharp eyes suddenly gasped.
"It's Fang Shenzhen..."
"how come…"
"Shut up!"
Zhuge Shenzhou scolded angrily, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Be careful to restrain Fang Shenzhou's body."
"Dig, dig three feet into the ground for me!"
…………
Imperial City, Qionghua Palace.
This palace was newly built ten years ago.
The terrain is much higher than other palaces, which can not only avoid the evil atmosphere of dampness, but also allow you to climb up and have a panoramic view of the capital city.
Especially when the morning fog rises and the sun rises, buildings large and small are looming, making it look like a fairyland under the sunlight.
Since the old age of Emperor Zhao Mian, the number of morning dynasties in Beichen Palace has been decreasing day by day. Usually, several prime ministers and ministers summarize the important affairs of the dynasty and then come to Qionghua Palace to report them.
Guo An came to the outside of the palace, informed the eunuch guards, and then calmly waited for the emperor's summons.
Accompanying him were several important ministers of the DPRK.
Pei Yuanshang, a member of the Zhongshu House, looked at him, shook his head and said, "It was really lively last night."
"There was a fire in Zhaoguo Temple, and there were reports of ghosts and ghosts doing strange things in Jinwu Guards. Mr. Guo, it seems that there is a bit of unrest in Beijing these days..."
Guo An was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "It's because of dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty. I'm going to plead guilty to the emperor."
"Pei Zhongshu."
The old man next to him said in a deep voice: "Six Doors has always been conscientious in handling affairs. This matter is not their fault and there is no need to be harsh."
"Nowadays, the celestial phenomena in various states are changing, and food crops are not harvesting in many places. It is expected that famine will occur next year. We... still have to focus on this matter."
The old man has a slender face, white hair and white beard, and a purple robe with a goldfish bag. He is none other than Prime Minister Liu Ji.
He has been assisting the emperor since he succeeded to the throne. He can be said to be the pillar of the court, with high moral character and high respect.
"Mr. Liu's words make sense."
Pei Yuanshang nodded in agreement and said no more.
At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly came over and lowered his head and said, "Master Guo, your Majesty has summoned you."
Guo An bowed his hands to several people and strode into Qionghua Hall.
Several important ministers were left looking at each other.
Logically speaking, they should go to the palace first, but it was Guo An who had to be summoned first.
There is only one possibility for this situation: a major secret.
The Six Gates have a special status. They are independent from the court and specialize in Jianghu affairs. They also take care of handling cases and spying on intelligence. They are neither high nor low.
After all, they are a group of warriors. They are a bit of a gangster when they are in the court, and they are not liked by the officials.
But when something big happened, he could meet the emperor directly without going through any yamen.
Pei Yuanshang said thoughtfully: "It seems that there is another hidden reason behind the fire in Zhaoguo Temple..."
…………
In the Qionghua Hall, golden dragons wrap around the pillars, sandalwood incense lingers, and the autumn morning is cold. Copper stoves are lit everywhere, making the hall extremely warm.
On the viewing platform on the side of the palace, an old man in yellow clothes was sipping fragrant tea and looking at the Jade Capital City under the morning light.
In the distance, the thick smoke from Zhaoguo Temple is extremely conspicuous.
He is none other than Zhao Mian, the emperor of the Liang Dynasty. Although he suffered from illness caused by the wars in the north and south when he was young, and is now gray-haired, he is still tall and imposing.
When he saw Guo An come in, he didn't rush to ask, but said calmly: "Guo Aiqing seems to have been busy all night. Luan Moyan, please ask someone to bring some food."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Next to him, a handsome and fair-skinned eunuch in brocade clothes nodded and left.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Guo An bowed deeply and held his hands in his hands.
Emperor Zhao Mian smiled and said: "It's dry in autumn, so it's not unusual to catch fire. What's your crime?"
"This is not a natural disaster..."
Guo An also didn't hide it. He discovered that the Lianhua Sect was hiding and sent people to investigate, but he told in detail how he was able to scare the snake away.
"Lianhua Sect..."
Zhao Mian thoughtfully shook his head, "If I remember correctly, during the reign of Emperor Jing, this group of monks was very powerful and was involved in the King of Zhou's rebellion. This led to the extermination of the Buddha, and it took a long time to stop."
"I never thought that you would be hiding under my nose for so many years..."
"I am guilty!"
Guo An lowered his head and confessed again.
Emperor Zhao Mian laughed dumbly, "Others say you are a yes man. When you were young, where was that hero who entered the golden tent alone on the grassland?"
After that, he sighed, "Since the black sun and blood moon vision, natural disasters have occurred frequently in various places, strange things have continued, and these remnants of the rebellion are also ready to take action..."
"Tell me, why is this?"
Guo An was sweating on his forehead, how could he dare to answer.
Emperor Zhao Mian was silent for a while, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, he slowly stood up, came to the terrace, looked at the boundless Jade City, and said in a deep voice:
"I don't care about my posthumous reputation. It doesn't matter if I'm called the Hunjun after a hundred years, but this country cannot be in trouble in my hands."
"None of the princes are promising, I'm really annoyed..."
Guo An lowered his head deeply and said nothing.
In this case, a veteran minister who knows how to govern the country should advise the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible, relinquish some of his power, and train the prince.
It's a pity that the last person who said this turned into a pile of rotten meat in the sky prison...
"snort!"
Emperor Zhao Mian snorted coldly, turned his head suddenly, and said with gloomy eyes: "I grant you privileges."
"check!"
"Get to the bottom of it and see what these monsters and bandits are going to do to my country!"
…………
Bang!
Throwing the horizontal knife on the wooden table casually, Zhang Biao breathed a long sigh of relief and lay on the bed without wanting to move.
Outside the window, the sun was already setting.
I was busy for most of the day at Zhaoguo Temple.
The Zhuge God caught everyone and asked everyone to dig under the pagoda, not just three feet into the ground.
After digging three meters and finding nothing, they ordered the Zhaoguofang people to be recruited, and hundreds of people started digging.
After digging for more than ten meters, the high earth and rocks piled up into mountains, but nothing was found.
I don’t know what means the Lianhua Sect used to completely destroy this section of the Zhaoguofang tunnel.
Zhang Biao did have a map.
But he knew what was down there. The Jedi of the Skeleton Camp were not accessible to anyone at all. Once provoked, who knew what trouble would happen.
There is also the Lianhua Sect, even the Shadowless God will die tragically when he catches Fang Ying. It is estimated that they can only be wiped out by mobilizing the army.
However, there are some things that are not up to him.
The chief catcher Guo An has returned. Following the emperor's order, he issued a summons order and ordered several divine catchers to gather elite silver medal catchers to pursue the Lianhua Sect with all their strength.
This move was mostly for revenge.
He was not familiar with the Shadowless God Captor, who had never seen the beginning or end of the dragon before him, and he didn't even have any interactions with his father.
But this Shadowless Divine Captor was indeed a subordinate of the general shop owner Guo An, and Zhuge Divine Captor and others, who had gone on expeditions with the emperor and gone through life and death. It can be regarded as stepping into the army from Jianghu and being assigned to six doors.
Pursuing the Lianhua Sect has become the most important matter in the six sects now, and many elites have gathered together.
As for other cases in Beijing, they were naturally handed over to these bronze medal catchers. The only exception was the investigation of the Slaughter Cult, which was put in charge by Xu Bai, another divine catcher.
What an eventful year...
Zhang Biao shook his head slightly, stood up, brewed medicine, and refined his Qi. He didn't stop until his meridians became slightly swollen.
Refining qi is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even so, he can feel obvious progress.
The number of uses of the clairvoyant eye has been increased.
The three yang true fires have a vague feeling of pregnancy. As long as they are successfully ignited, they will have the means to deal with those evil things.
Thinking of this, Zhang Biao took out the Nuo mask beam from his arms, examined it carefully, and then slowly put it on his face.
Now that I use it, I no longer feel the cold and biting feeling.
But the inheritance within it still cannot be opened.
According to the message from the Eye of Spiritual Vision, "Xiangliang will die by eating the beast." To open this thing, it must swallow ghosts.
Grandma Wu has not been entangled with Xiao San since his death. Moreover, he pities her life experience and is unwilling to make her the first sacrifice.
Lianhua Sect, Yi Chonghui, Li Mansion Magic…
Those hidden inheritances are ready to be used, and he must obtain the magic inheritance as soon as possible.
After the three yang true fires are ignited, you can take action.
But where can I find this sacrifice?
