Chapter 268: Sacrifice One's Relatives for the Sake of Justice
After singing the song "Removal of Syndicates", the guests cheered loudly.
Chunfeng Tower is firmly ranked No. 1 in Luo Jing and has a great reputation. Not only is it a good person and a good listener, but it is also very courageous.
The most popular thing at the moment is the list of people raped by the demon clan, but this is the only one who dares to sing "Expelling the Traitors".
For example, Man Yue Lou Yu Xuan Hong Ren Pavilion has put up signs saying not to talk about state affairs.
Some hot-tempered young people have begun to curse others and want to dig up the Wang family's ancestral graves.
From this point of view, Wang Ming's reputation as a traitor will be difficult to clear within a thousand years.
"As expected of Emperor Jingtai!"
Zhou Yi exclaimed in admiration. It has nothing to do with good or bad, right or wrong, just his skills. Emperor Jingtai is not weak to the immortals and Buddhas.
Emperor Jingtai accurately grasped the weakness of the Confucian scholars. What is the biggest dream of scholars?
Cultivate oneself, govern the country and bring peace to the world? This is an ideal, not a dream.
The dream of a scholar is to leave a mark in history!
Once you become a villain in an opera, no matter how great your achievements are, you will be scolded for thousands of years. For example, there is a certain boss Cao, who is good at war and poetry. He is a hero of the world in both civil and military affairs, but he is a white-faced boy. .
So Emperor Jingtai only used a mere opera to silence the scholars all over the world and not dare to speak out about adultery.
Zhou Yi was thinking in his heart and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Emperor Jingtai frequently ransacked homes and exterminated clans on the pretext of checking his land, and all the monks were thrown into the Demon Slayer Prison.
This time, he turned out to be very clever and listened to Li Xun's wishes and only killed the first culprit!
"So, Jingtai is no longer so eager for heads..."
Zhou Yi's mind was racing, thinking about how to trick Li Mu into going to the hell to check out the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus.
"This kind of music is really good! No wonder Brother Zhang likes it here and never gets tired of listening to it for hundreds of years. The courage of this owner alone makes it worth supporting!"
Li Xun said: "When we go back, we will buy the yard next to it and turn it into a patrol camp to prevent thieves from causing trouble."
The list of monsters involves Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Any name is not something Chunfeng Tower can bear. With just a little explanation, his subordinates will find a way to make Chunfeng Tower unable to open.
"You are worrying too much. Chunfeng Tower is now owned by the Beggar Clan. Senior Hong is as shrewd as a ghost and will not do anything he is not sure about."
Zhou Yi reminded: "The late Queen Dexiao, her surname was Hong!"
The Beggar Gang is said to be the largest in number in Daqian, spread across all counties and counties in sixteen states, and is engaged in gossip and assassination businesses. If not for this relationship, it would have been killed by Emperor Jingtai long ago.
The old beggar leader had an out-of-touch personality and even cheated on his own grandson King Yan. He did things a bit out of tune, but he was very clear about important matters.
The Beggar Clan disciples were indispensable for the list of monsters and the elimination of the traitors. There must be Emperor Jingtai behind the scenes.
"Oh, it turns out we are relatives...what should we call them?"
Li Xun calculated: "According to the genealogy, King Yan is the great-uncle, and then Senior Hong is the great-great-uncle. I will definitely pay him a visit in a while!"
Zhou Yi asked: "Brother Xun has many relatives now, right?"
Li Xun's talent has not changed since he was in the Demon Slayer Division, which is his ability to recognize relatives.
When he was a down-and-out junior official, he had many relatives from the royal family. Now that he is a celebrity of His Majesty's, he has outstanding achievements and is invincible, so he should have more relatives.
When you become strong enough, everyone will be filled with kindness.
"There are so many that I can hardly count them. I had someone compile a volume specifically to record the names and titles of relatives. There are already dozens of volumes."
Li Xun said: "Now the only remaining branch of the Lu family is the one who is distantly related to me and was once related by marriage to the ancestor of the King of Zhongshan."
"awesome!"
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with Dharma light, and he saw that the Qi above Li Xun's head showed signs that the blue clouds would turn into purple Qi.
Purple represents the most noble and royal spirit.
I recall that when we first met, Zhou Yi used the Qi-gazing technique to observe Li Xun. He found that his luck was weak and it was difficult to achieve anything.
Then it turned from white to green, and now from green to purple. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a change of fate that goes against the will of heaven.
Zhou Yi likes to be with those who defy the will of heaven and change their fate, looking for luck and luck.
The wine was intoxicating and the ears were hot. It was noon and everyone said goodbye and dispersed.
Chen Ying stayed at Chunfeng Tower, following Zhang Cheng's path and understanding the world of mortals.
Cui Yuan returned to the Cui family and continued to punish the disobedient clan members. The True Dragon Lord could have killed him with one palm, but it would have been a lot less fun.
Li Xun returned to Prince Yan's Mansion and waited quietly for His Majesty's order to arrest him.
Zhou Yi drove the clouds back to Qingfeng Xiaozhu. The cats in the courtyard had fallen asleep, and the cows had fallen asleep. They were lying on their backs and drooling.
Only the fairy peach tree is full of energy, bragging about the mystery of its innate spiritual roots with the laurel.
Since the laurel fairy plant was planted in the small courtyard, the fairy peach tree finally got rid of the last position, and the body of Qiongqi demon god replenished its vitality, and finally got rid of the baldness crisis.
A fiery red figure flew out from the treetops and landed on Zhou Yi's shoulder.
Choo Choo Choo!
"Xiao Liu, I'm greedy again!"
The light in Zhou Yi's palm shone brightly, and a fiery red elixir appeared, with a flaming texture appearing on it.
The elixir was refined from the flesh and blood of the Golden Crow clone, and added with many fire-based spiritual objects, which was a supreme tonic for the immortal beast Xiaoliu.
Chirp!
Xiaoliu pecked quickly and the elixir fell into his belly.
boom!
The extremely powerful fire spiritual power exploded, Xiao Liu's whole body burned with golden flames, and the burning air was faintly distorted.
Sun gold flame!
Zhou Yi used the magical power of regulating birds to sort out the spiritual power of Xiao Liu's blood. It took a full hour to completely remove the spiritual power of the elixir.
Xiaoliu rubbed Zhou Yi's neck affectionately, then rested on his shoulder and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
"Demon Emperor Golden Crow..."
Zhou Yi murmured to himself, and the list of gods appeared in his hand, and he checked the humane merits of the names on it.
Of course Zhou Yi is ranked first. As the master of the Conferred God List, he blesses all the merits of the righteous gods.
The second is Li Zhi, the Red Luan Star God. She is in charge of the twelve sects to slay demons and demons, and has become a matchmaker and a fertility goddess with a rising reputation. The merits of humanity have begun to feed back the strength of the righteous gods.
After that is Yang Qi, the plague messenger, who protects millions of people in the Dashun Kingdom in the southern border, reclaims wasteland, and his merits are growing rapidly.
Cui Yuan, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, ranks last and will be even lower in the future. After all, as a traitor in the demon clan, many things are not easy to do.
Yan Chixiao, Zhang Cheng, Zuo Chuan, Xiang Xiong and others who are temporarily listed as gods are not qualified to be gods, and their merits cannot be found.
"At present, there are few righteous gods, so they can be left alone. In the future, when there are more righteous gods, we must list them. Those righteous gods who don't work hard... and accumulate merits will be punished!"
Zhou Yi thought carefully about how to be a good boss.
He had a hunch that after the establishment of the Demon Court, the number of people on the Conferred God List would increase sharply.
After all, heroes and heroes emerge in troubled times!
…
The fifty-sixth year of Jingtai.
Winter.
The snow fell for the first time, and Luojing was covered in silver.
The sky was getting light.
Zhou Yi did not ride on the cloud, but walked to the Demon Slaying Division to take up his post.
Nothing major had happened in recent days, except that under the leadership of the wise and great Emperor Jingtai, someone was sentenced to treason.
The people were happy to hear about this, and they would discuss it for several days every time they caught one.
One was that they hated the demons, and the other was that they were happy to see the big guys suffer.
Zhou Yi walked on the street. Compared with previous years, the only thing that was rare was the refugees on the street corners.
The court had taken back countless acres of land from the noble families. Now there was no need to open the warehouse for relief. All it needed to do was to post a notice that a certain county had royal land to rent, and the refugees would go there on their own.
After Emperor Jingtai no longer coveted the number of demons, he regained some of his wise appearance.
The Demon Slaying Division was a little quiet, as most of the lieutenants and attendants were transferred to catch traitors.
Zhou Yi came to the Wu Zang Department of the Ministry of Things, and steam rose up. He pushed the door and saw the flames of the alchemy furnace surging.
Checking the elixir in the furnace, it was no different from the one recorded in the ancient recipe.
"It will take another three to five days to refine it. No wonder the physical cultivation is lonely. This enlightenment elixir alone has cut off 99% of the cultivators!"
Zhou Yi sat on the chair, and his thoughts moved, and fell on his clone.
...
The prison room.
In recent days, the prisoner has been busy with official duties.
First, the aristocratic families sent batches of people, and then the list of demons was released.
Roll call.
The lieutenant assigned tasks.
Zhou Yi's clone performed a small spell and successfully received the primary task, a great scholar on the list.
Such a good thing must be done personally!
Prison No. 17 of Jiazi.
Qu Zhongshu had disheveled hair and a hideous face. He heard the sound of the prison door and saw a thin-faced prisoner coming in.
"I have been ruling the world for two hundred years, but I never thought that I would die in the hands of a mere pariah!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The voice was hoarse, and the sound of speaking affected the chains of the torture instruments, and he couldn't help coughing.
"For a shemale like you, it's usually 3,600 knives. Enjoy the last pain!"
Zhou Yi was too lazy to argue with Qu Zhongshu. They were very good at arguing, and they had a lot of twisted arguments. Listening to them too much would only make him feel bored.
"Shemale?"
Qu Zhongshu reacted very quickly and said in surprise: "You are not an ordinary torturer. Who are you? Did Emperor Jingtai send you to torture me?"
Cough, cough, cough!
"Tell Emperor Jingtai that I am a man of steel and will never succumb to the imperial power even if I die!"
"I have killed nine great Confucian scholars in recent days. You are the one with the thickest skin. As a reward, it's 7,200 knives!"
While Zhou Yi was speaking, the blade pierced into Qu Zhongshu's air and cut his tongue and throat in two.
Woo, woo, woo!
Qu Zhongshu couldn't speak, and his face turned red.
Zhou Yi took out another small blade and cut through the skin, muscles flying and blood dripping.
However, each cut avoided the vital points. Qu Zhongshu was a great scholar, and his body was almost peeled to a skeleton, but he still did not die.
"Seven thousand one hundred and ninety-nine cuts!"
Zhou Yi counted and pulled the blade out of Qu Zhongshu's mouth. The last cut was to cut off the soul and destroy the spirit.
"Ning Hao is cruel!"
Qu Zhongshu spoke unclearly, and the only remaining eye stared at Zhou Yi.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Zhou Yi cut with a knife, and the soul flew away.
The demon atlas flipped through thousands of pages, and the appearance of Qu Zhongshu appeared, a kind and amiable old man.
"Huh? He is on the atlas!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. He had killed many great scholars in recent days, but he was the first one to be on the atlas.
These great scholars cheered for the demon clan, but they did not do anything that was harmful to the world. In order to gain fame, they even built bridges and roads and opened schools. They were well-known good people in the local area.
Memory fragments flashed in front of Zhou Yi's eyes, and he immediately understood the reason.
Qu Zhongshu's first identity was a great scholar and hermit, and the second was a running dog of the demon clan. As a result, there was a third identity.
The deacon of the Heavenly Demon Alliance, codenamed Tianren, did many evil things.
Qu Zhongshu's arrest was also quite strange. After hearing that Emperor Jingtai was arresting traitors, he lived in seclusion in a secret forest that had been prepared long ago.
The forest had already been arranged with many formations to isolate divination and deduction, and escaped the search of the court army.
Unfortunately, no one knows the father better than the son!
Qu Zhongshu's son Qu Su, for the sake of justice, took the initiative to expose his father's hiding place to the court.
"This is really retribution!"
Zhou Yi felt relieved immediately and carried Qu Zhongshu's bones to the demon cave.
…
Monobe.
The fire was burning brightly, and the fragrance of elixir was lingering.
Colleagues from other departments came up with various reasons to join in the fun.
Zhou Yi never thought that the alchemy master was so great, but in the eyes of others, he was a legendary figure.
Fortunately, I have a connection like Chunfeng Tower, so I can stop by to chat about the new oiran and smell the fragrance of elixirs.
Chen Ying circled around the alchemy furnace. The elixir in this furnace was extraordinary. Just inhaling the incense of the elixir could increase his strength.
"What elixir did Brother Zhou refine today?"
"Tongqiao Dan."
——PS I worked overtime today and didn’t finish writing. Please wait for a moment to refresh and read again. I’m not cheating on the word count.
The torture chamber.
In recent days, the torturer has been busy with official duties.
First, the aristocratic families sent batch after batch, and then the list of demon clan was released.
Click Mao.
The captain assigned tasks.
Zhou Yi's clone cast a small spell and successfully received the first task, a great scholar who was on the list.
Such good things must be done by yourself!
Prison No. 17.
Qu Zhongshu, with disheveled hair and a ferocious face, heard the sound of the cell door and saw a torturer with a skinny face coming in.
"I have dominated the world for two hundred years, but I never expected that I would end up dead at the hands of a mere untouchable!"
"Cough cough cough!"
His voice was hoarse, and the sound of his words affected the chains of the torture instruments, and he couldn't help but cough.
"For a shemale like you, it's usually three thousand six hundred dollars, so enjoy the last pain!"
Zhou Yi was too lazy to argue with Qu Zhongshu. They were very good at debating scriptures, and they would make one absurd argument after another. If they listened too much, they would only create a fussy atmosphere.
"Shemale?"
Qu Zhongshu reacted very quickly and said in surprise: "You are not an ordinary torturer. Who are you? Did Emperor Jingtai send you to torture me?"
Cough cough cough!
"Tell Emperor Jingtai that I am very strong-willed and will not succumb to imperial power even if I die!"
"I have beheaded nine great scholars in recent days. You are the thickest one. As a reward, I will give you seven thousand two hundred knives!"
While Zhou Yi was speaking, the blade of the knife thrust into Qu Zhongshu's air, cutting his tongue and throat into two pieces.
Woohoo!
Qu Zhongshu was speechless and his face turned red from holding back.
Zhou Yi took another small blade and cut through his skin, causing muscles to fly and blood to drip.
However, every blow missed the vital point. Qu Zhongshu was a scholar, and his whole body was almost peeled off into a white skeleton, but he was still not dead.
"Seven thousand one hundred and ninety-nine swords!"
Zhou Yi counted and pulled out the blade from Qu Zhongshu's mouth, and the last blow was to kill the soul.
"Ning Haoren!"
Qu Zhongshu couldn't speak clearly and stared at Zhou Yi with his one eye.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Zhou Yi slashed him with a sword and his soul flew away.
After flipping through thousands of pages in the Demon Illustrated Book, a kind and kind old man who looked like Qu Zhongshu appeared.
"Huh? It's actually in the illustrated book!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. He had killed many great scholars in recent days, but he was the first one to appear in the illustrated book.
These great scholars cheered for the demon clan, but they did not do anything harmful to the world. In order to gain reputation, they even built bridges, paved roads, and opened schools. They were well-known good people in the local area.
