The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

When Xiao Rui returned to the house, he immediately found Jia Xu and told him exactly what Emperor Xia had told him.

Jia Xu also fell into doubts. He claimed to be very accurate in judging people, but he still couldn't figure out what Emperor Xia did. He deeply felt that Emperor Xia was unpredictable and unfathomable. .

"Since Emperor Xia asked the prince to investigate, it is naturally a test for the prince." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness only needs to find the Night King Xiao Heding. Once you find him, you will be able to understand Emperor Xia's intentions."

"Sir, can't guess my father's intention?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I can't guess, Emperor Xia's methods are cunning, and what he did was unexpected! But I think it's not true that he let you find the Night King, what he learned from the process and even from the Night King is the truth." real."

"What did you learn?" Xiao Rui savored carefully.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Emperor Xia is cultivating princes who are talented, general, and virtuous. Obviously, the princes are not satisfied with Emperor Xia. So he began to train you. Human character is cultivated over a long period of time, and it is not easy to change it with just a few words. , but if you do something personally, if you are touched, you can quickly learn experience and knowledge. So I guess, is Emperor Xia trying to find Night King Xiao Heding to let you feel something?"

Xiao Rui nodded, he had never thought about this, and even found it incredible.

"Is this possible? Just for us to learn something?" Xiao Rui still couldn't believe it.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Your Highness, the prince is the future monarch. You can be an emperor if you do nothing, you can be an emperor if you are cruel, and you can be an emperor if you govern and love the people. But it is easy to be a tyrant, and it is not difficult to be a mediocre emperor. Emperor. I feel that although Emperor Xia has brought prosperity to Great Xia, he still has regrets. That's why he wants to cultivate an excellent prince and become the most difficult emperor through the ages. For such a goal, any method can't be overstated. Do you know the allusion of Yi Yapanzi?"

Yi Ya cooks his food only for the sake of power. And for the future of Great Xia, Emperor Xia uses the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces to choose a prince, so why not?

"This is my speculation, because I really can't think of other intentions of Emperor Xia." Jia Xu added.

Xiao Rui asked: "What about Xu Xianyang? Did he really commit suicide?"

"Naturally, Emperor Xia nodded and acquiesced." Jia Xu smiled: "It is not easy to commit suicide in Dongchang's death row. Can Xu Xianyang really commit suicide?"

Xiao Rui sighed and said, "So, I killed him?"

Jia Xu nodded, stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that Emperor Xia knew that His Highness went to the death cell to meet Xu Xianyang, so he ended the fate of this chess piece in advance. This is a small warning to His Highness, telling His Highness not to be entangled in Xu Xianyang, his mission has been completed, the next step is to find Xiao Heding."

Xiao Rui was silent. He thought that Xu Xianyang's fate had already been doomed since the hunting ground murder case, and since he entered the game, he should have completed the Emperor Xia's test quite well. Although he failed to bring down Xu Xianyang in the end, he had already It is within our power. Now that Xu Xianyang died, the mission was indeed accomplished, don't ask any more questions.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xia only knew that Xiao Rui went to see Xu Xianyang, but he didn't know that he went to see Xu Xianyang to find Xiao Heding, this was the opportunity given to him by the system. So, Emperor Xia was afraid that Xiao Rui would investigate Xu Xianyang deeply, was he afraid of finding out something else? That's why Xu Xianyang was terminated in advance?

Probably! Xu Xianyang was able to become a cabinet bachelor from a poor status, did he rely on his ability? Xiao Rui thought the most important thing was to gain the grace of the emperor.

So he didn't dare to think about it, Xiao Rui was afraid that the more he thought about it, the more frightened he would become.

At this time, Jia Xu asked: "His Royal Highness, judging from the information given by Emperor Xia, he must have a purpose for letting all the princes investigate the Black Lotus Sect. What do you think?"

"I want to investigate the clues provided by Xu Xianyang first, starting with Ludong Braised Chicken!" Xiao Rui thought for a while and insisted on his original idea.

Jia Xu agreed: "If you do the opposite, maybe you can achieve better results. Your Highness, I will search for clues in the capital tomorrow!"

Xiao Rui bowed deeply, and said: "Sir, there are too few people around me, I will trouble you with this matter."

"Your Highness don't need to worry about the matter of honor. With His Highness's character, there will be many talented people under his command in the future." Jia Xu laughed.

"Auspicious words from Mr. Xiao Rui." Xiao Rui also smiled.

The next day, Xiao Rui and Jia Xu went out of the house and began to investigate in the capital. Since it is a grilled chicken restaurant in Ludong, they should first investigate how many grilled chicken shops there are in the capital. The errand peddlers, who are familiar with the streets and shops in the capital, directly find ten people, give them ten taels first, and ask them to find out the Ludong grilled chicken shops in the capital, big and small, as long as they involve Ludong grilled chicken, they must be recorded in detail , Whoever records the most detailed records will get another forty taels.

Two days later, all five investigations were completed.

Then, Gao Quan compared the investigation results of the five people to distinguish the missing ones, and finally listed a relatively complete list of Ludong grilled chicken restaurants.

What Xiao Rui didn't expect was that there were as many as twenty-two Ludong grilled chicken restaurants in the capital. Among them, there are ten in Dongfang City, six in the slum areas of Xicheng District, five in Beicheng District, and one in Nancheng District.

Xu's Mansion is located in the center of Nancheng District. Diners want to buy grilled chicken. This shop in Nancheng District is the first, and a little farther away, there are two shops in Xicheng District and one shop in Beicheng District.

No matter how far it is, it will be a little far away. You can't go across the entire capital to buy braised chicken, go to the north and east of the city to buy it.

Next, go to these four stores to observe.

In the past two days, the other princes have not been idle, and started to mobilize all their abilities to personally investigate the Black Lotus Sect. I believe that with their abilities, the part of the Black Lotus Sect hidden in the water is gradually being revealed.

This grilled chicken shop in Nancheng District is called Wuxiang Boneless Braised Chicken Shop. The shop is a small two-story building. The owner is a big man from Shandong Province. He is very enthusiastic.

Xiao Rui and Jia Xu entered the store and asked for two grilled chickens. The shop owner saw that they were new customers and had never seen them before, so he greeted them warmly and asked her mother-in-law to pack the grilled chickens.

Her wife has a big frame and is 1.7 meters tall. She has a slight smile on her face, and she smiles at everyone.

Xiao Rui observed it, but found nothing unusual. On the contrary, Jia Xu's eyes were vicious, and his eyes signaled Xiao Rui to observe the hands of the shopkeeper and his wife.

Only then did he discover that the husband and wife had thick hands and thick fingers, which were caused by martial arts training, not by doing farm work or labor.

This is really a surprise, Xiao Rui did not expect to find a clue when he first came to the first grilled chicken restaurant. But then, Xiao Rui discovered the secret again.

In a corner of the store, there is an altar enshrining a jet-black Buddha sitting on a black lotus. The black lotus Buddha's eyes were full of anger and viciousness, and the sacrifices were not melon and fruit sacrifices, but poisonous things such as scorpions and centipedes.

Xiao Rui has seen from the information that this is exactly the way of worshiping in the Black Lotus Sect.

This further confirms that there is something wrong with this grilled chicken restaurant!
