Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chapter 141: Destroying the Family (Fourth Update)

"Alas..., I'm afraid that by then the world will be in chaos. The martial arts sects are intertwined and have penetrated into every aspect of Daqian, and their tentacles are far deeper than imagined." Xu Enzhi showed a look of compassion.

Fakong smiled and nodded.

However, he believed in one thing: do not interfere in politics if you are not in the position.

The butt determines the head.

Standing in a certain position, you can see certain scenery, and standing in another position, you can see different scenery.

Different perspectives, see different things.

Xu Enzhi is very wise, but there are many people with extraordinary wisdom in the court. Some are in harmony with the world, and some go with the flow and protect themselves.

After all, Xu Enzhi's position is not high enough, his vision may not be enough, and his judgment may not be accurate.

And the current emperor is definitely not a foolish monarch, his knowledge and wisdom are better than Xu Enzhi.

What he is worried about, the emperor wants to get, but he still wants to implement it, there must be a reason for implementation.

"Don't worry, there will be no trouble. We still have the Shenwu Mansion."

"Once the Shenwu Mansion is suppressed, it will be even more troublesome." Xu Enzhi shook his head: "It is likely to form a large-scale rebellion, and the consequences are unpredictable."

"Master Xu is worrying too much." Fakong smiled.

"I hope so..." Xu Enzhi looked at the group of people under the tall tree opposite, who were very lively.

He smiled inexplicably.

What he wanted now was just the safety and happiness of his family, and now he has achieved it.

The two were chatting, and a middle-aged man in gray suddenly came to Xu Enzhi in a hurry and saluted with his fists.

This middle-aged man in gray was of medium build and mediocre appearance. Except for his light footsteps and a faint sense of vigor between his eyebrows, he really did not attract attention.

"Old Hu, what's the matter?"

"Master." The middle-aged old Hu in gray lowered his voice: "Something happened."

"Hmm?"

"Minister Xie of the Ministry of Works was killed with his entire family."

"Hmm?!" Xu Enzhi's face changed slightly: "When did it happen?"

"It just came out." The middle-aged old Hu in gray whispered: "The news has not spread yet, but it is estimated that the whole court will know it tomorrow."

"The whole family was killed..." Xu Enzhi's face was gloomy, stroking his beard and shaking his head: "What a cruel method, this is a third-rank official!"

Old Hu whispered: "I'm afraid the emperor will be furious and will definitely investigate it strictly."

"Hmm." Xu Enzhi waved his hand: "You go."

"Yes." Old Hu bowed and left the temple.

Xu Enzhi looked at Fakong.

Fakong slowly said: "The storm has come, Lord Xu, go and take care of yourself."

"Master, goodbye." Xu Enzhi stood up and put his fists together, looking at the children who were playing and the smiling lady beside him.

Fakong said, "Let them stay here first, and let Lin Feiyang escort them back at night. It won't be a problem."

"Thank you, Master." Xu Enzhi clasped his hands again and left the temple.

Fakong shook his head.

The whole family of a third-rank official was wiped out. This is like stirring up a hornet's nest. All officials will be vigilant and angry, and will do everything they can to find the murderer and punish him severely.

At this time, the Southern Supervisory Office must be established.

Even with the divine eye, he couldn't tell whether the world was peaceful or the beginning of chaos.

There are often too many accidents in the world, and they develop in a direction that people can't predict. The divine eye can't see that far.

Dusk is rising.

In Fakong's yard, he sat at the table in a deep voice.

Lin Feiyang and Zhou Yang were serving dishes and wine.

When the table was full, Lin Feiyang, Faning and Zhou Yang sat down, and the old monk Huiling also jumped down and sat in the main seat.

Yuansheng and the other three ate together in their own yard.

"Monk, what are you thinking about?"

"When you escorted Qingluo back, what was the situation in Xu's house like?"

"Nothing." Lin Feiyang said indifferently: "I saw Xu Enzhi's expression was fine, did something happen?"

"It's none of his business if something happens." Fakong said: "Go out to find out the news at night, especially the incense master."

Lin Feiyang's eyes lit up immediately: "Do you want to keep an eye on him?"

Fakong nodded.

"If you ask me, just solve it with a palm, why bother so much?" Lin Feiyang was really puzzled.

Fakong shook his head: "Don't do it rashly, this is Shenjing, not Vajra Temple and Daxue Mountain."

"I killed him, and no one would know."

"Shenjing is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so you still can't be careless, just keep an eye on it, don't do it!"

"...Okay." Although Lin Feiyang was not interested, he agreed.

Fakong suddenly glanced at the gate: "Go open the door."

Lin Feiyang disappeared in a flash, and came back the next moment: "Miss Ning is here."

Ning Zhenzhen, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, floated lightly in front of everyone, bringing a faint and almost inaudible fragrance.

She bowed to the old monk Huiling, and returned the bow to Faning who stood up and bowed, and smiled: "Brother, it's so lively."

Fakong smiled and stood up: "Let's go and talk."

Ning Zhenzhen nodded to everyone, and went out of the Moon Gate with Fakong and came to the lotus pond where the Sutra Library was located.

The dusk was deep, and a bright moon had hung in the sky.

Insects have begun to chirp, and lotus flowers have begun to close, preparing to fall asleep.

The surroundings are quiet.

Fakong walked slowly: "If it's not urgent, you won't come here at this time. Tell me, what happened?"

"Brother, have you heard about the case of Minister Xie's murder of his family?"

"I heard about it today."

"The big fish I want to catch is Minister Xie."

Fakong turned his head and looked at her.

Ning Zhenzhen bit her cherry red lips and nodded slightly: "That's him, and I've convinced him to join me."

"Is he planning to betray Dayong?"

"Yes." Ning Zhenzhen pursed her red lips tightly and said slowly: "I just convinced him yesterday and was about to report it to my boss. At night, something happened to him and his whole family was wiped out! ... This is obviously not a coincidence. It was Dayong. Revenge!"

Fakong frowned: "Who knows about your arrest of Minister Xie?"

"Only myself." Ning Zhenzhen shook his head: "There is no second person, because this matter is too important and I can't trust others."

Fakong nodded slowly: "Did anyone see you entering and leaving Xie Shilang's house?"

"No." Ning Zhenzhen said: "How could I be so careless? I secretly sneaked into Xie Shilang's study and had a secret meeting with him."

She shook her head and said: "He is tired of this kind of life, and is completely disappointed and even resentful of Dayong."

"how so?"

"Because his wife and children in Dayong were killed." Ning Zhenzhen said calmly: "Killed by the son of a high-ranking official in Dayong."

Fakong nodded slowly.

This kind of tragedy is enough to destroy a person's loyalty.

If you work hard and receive such rewards, your loyalty will turn into resentment and backlash.

"Dayong is obviously on guard against him." Fakong said: "As soon as he finds out that there is a rebellious Slimming, he will take action immediately, but there are always guards in the Minister's Mansion, right? The third grade is not an ordinary small official, not to mention his identity, will he Top master?"

"There are many masters in his house, including four masters in the Shenyuan realm. They are far more powerful than the ordinary third-grade minister. It is impossible for ordinary power to destroy his whole family silently."

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"I want to report this matter directly to my boss and reveal his identity, but I'm worried..." Ning Zhenzhen said slowly with a frown.

The reason why she came here directly instead of going to Mingyue'an Villa to discuss with the elders was because she was undecided.

I still want to borrow Fakong’s extraordinary wisdom to come up with an idea.

Should he pretend to know nothing, or should he report it directly and reveal the identity of Minister Xie in time?

If you pretend you don't know something, you'll remove yourself from this troublesome matter.

This matter is very troublesome, and it would be best not to do it.

If the report goes up, there will be many variables. He may even become the object of suspicion and be investigated. If he is deeply involved, his career as a foreigner in green clothes may end.

But there are risks in not reporting.

If someone discovers him, he won't be able to explain it.

She is in a dilemma.

"Yeah" Fakong's eyes suddenly became unpredictable, and his gaze enveloped Ning Zhenzhen.

Ning Zhenzhen knew that he was using his clairvoyance.

"If you report..." Ning Zhenzhen met Fa Kong's profound eyes.

Fakong nodded slightly.

"If you don't report it..." Ning Zhenzhen continued.

Fakong's deep eyes slowly returned to normal, and he shook his head: "Report it."

"Troublesome?"

"It's more troublesome than you think." Fakong sighed: "Be prepared and deal with it carefully."

"Okay, then I will report it." Ning Zhenzhen nodded lightly and smiled sweetly: "Senior brother, I feel at ease since you are in Shenjing."

Fakong smiled.

Ning Zhenzhen tithes and walks away gracefully.

Fa Kong watched her graceful back disappear and looked up at the sky.

It's already dark.

The bright moon is bright and flawless.

In such a peaceful night, too many people in Shenjing were not living peacefully.

Early the next morning, when he, Lin Feiyang, Faning and Zhou Yang went to Guanyun Tower for dinner, his ears were full of talk about this matter.

"Yesterday, the Southern Infantry Division, the Northern Infantry Division, the Eastern Infantry Division, and the Western Infantry Division all searched like crazy from house to house. They worked all night and I was so sleepy from yawning!"

"Sigh... it's the same thing. It's really a hassle. It seems like we can wipe out the whole family of that Minister Xie. If we really have that ability, why should I feel sorry for the money for this meal?"

"Haha, Lao Yang, why are you feeling so distressed? Your son is on duty in the Infantry Division, and one month's salary is enough for you to come here and eat three meals a day!"

"Haha, that's an exaggeration. How can I have such a huge salary?"

"Lao Yang, let's hear it. Do you have any secret news?"

"No, really not."

"Lao Yang, you're doing this again! Your son is on duty for nothing? He's been busy all night, and there's no news at all?"

"It seems that the murderer was clean and did not leave any clues. I am afraid that nothing will be found this time."

"If we really can't find out, wouldn't it mean that everyone is in danger, especially those who are officials? Could it be that Minister Xie is a corrupt official?"

"I heard he is an upright official."

"It's a pity that a whole family also died."

"It's so cruel. Even if Minister Xie deserves to die, why should the children and women deserve it? It's really inhumane!"

Fa Kong listened quietly and glanced at Lin Feiyang.

Lin Fei swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

It wasn't until they finished eating and the four of them strolled back slowly that Lin Feiyang whispered, "I went to see Minister Xie's mansion."

Faning and Zhou Yang immediately looked at him.

Lin Feiyang lowered his voice: "It was definitely not done by a group of people. The auras are very messy. It was a group of people, and this group of people is not from the same sect."

Faning Heshi proclaimed Amitabha.

This really damaged his impression of Shenjing.

I was full of longing at first, thinking that Shenjing was prosperous and prosperous, but I didn't expect to hear such tragic things in the world as soon as I arrived.
