Text Chapter 1699 The Truth Discovered
The onlookers of the Kou family looked at the figure dragging a black cloak striding through the square, and they had a new feeling. They found that this cold-faced judge was really untouchable, and he dared to kill the Kou family directly. Even the old man backed away from the door.
Of course, everyone can also understand that the old man has no reason to be afraid of Gao Guan when he takes action in the Kou family's lair. There is obviously some other reason.
Yun Zhiqiu, one of the female family members, also followed Gao Guan's leaving figure. Today she has experienced the arrogance of this cold-faced judge!
In any case, the tense situation that had been on the line just now was finally resolved, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Kou Qian, who had been worried for a long time, quickly walked towards her husband Chu Jian.
The armored Chu Jian saw the eyes of his men, looked back, and understood the helplessness hidden in Kou Qian's eyes, but felt warm in his heart...
In the Tiangong, Xijing Garden, pavilions and pavilions, Qingzhu, standing on a high place, leans on the railing and looks out, his eyes deep.
Shangguan Qing, who was accompanying him, knew that he had been in a bad mood recently. He had torn away even the last layer of fig leaf that he had been able to hide on the surface. The four heavenly kings had actually been supporting themselves, but this time they finally Putting it out in the open would make His Majesty's face look bad.
In fact, it is no wonder that the Four Heavenly Kings were overthrown by the Six Saints. When they overthrew the Six Saints, His Majesty and others did not have many people. To put it bluntly, they were not powerful, and there was no way to develop too much power directly under the noses of the Six Saints. Therefore, In times of crisis, allies are urgently needed. At that time, His Majesty and others made a promise to the four heavenly kings to share the world, promised them to rule by demarcating borders and establish heaven in the form of vassals and kings, and encouraged them to recruit people from all over. However, after the completion of the matter, His Majesty and others went against their promise.
First, they used the excuse that the world was not at peace so that they could unify the command and coordinate the elimination of the rebels. When the situation was decided, Lord Buddha had gathered a huge force, and his bodyguards and horses were already in place. Lord Bai was running around in all directions, and then he pulled out an army of demon masters. He immediately turned his back and refused to admit his fault. What is the point of dividing borders and ruling the country? Are you kidding me?
Under strong pressure, it was basically integrated into its current prototype, and after the interests of the four kings were stabilized. He also united with the Four Heavenly Kings to suppress the Xiahou family who supported him, forcing the Xiahou family to hand over the Heroes Association, removing the few visible military power left by the Xiahou family, and completely wiping out the Xiahou family's visible power.
Then he used the excuse that the White Lord and the Demon Lord had little scope of influence. It is said that the two men intend to re-divide their sphere of influence, which probably means that they want to carve out a sphere of influence from the sphere of influence of the Four Heavenly Kings. Naturally, the four heavenly kings did not want to see such a thing happen, and His Majesty once again gained the trust of the Xiahou family and agreed to make Xiahou Chengyu the queen. Several parties secretly joined forces and suddenly launched an attack. The last move disintegrated the power of the White Lord and the Demon Lord.
However, His Majesty's integration of the world's forces has not stopped. However, after several attempts, the four heavenly kings also learned the lesson and began to unite to protect their own interests. They knew that no matter which one fell, it would be the next one's turn to suffer, and finally formed the current situation. The pattern of the world.
In fact, there is no change this time, it is just a clarification of the current world situation.
The arrival of Sima Wentian broke the tranquility in the high attic. Shangguan Qing turned his head and glanced at Sima Wentian who was walking quickly and found that Sima Wentian seemed to be in good spirits.
Sima Wentian was indeed in good spirits and had to admit what Shangguan Qing said. Gao Guan did have two brushes. Before the left side could figure out what the problem was, Gao Guan had already found out that something went wrong during Youquan hunting, and at the same time figured out the general result.
This time I owed Gao Guan a favor, and Gao Guan fulfilled his promise and gave him the results directly, saying that the results might be a bit rough and asked him to go over them in detail to avoid mistakes. Naturally, he immediately mobilized spies from each family to carry out targeted verification, and found that the people from each family who participated in the hunting of Youquan had indeed disappeared and never appeared again. He also captured witnesses on the fifth floor of Youquan who once again confirmed the information given by Gao Guan.
"Your Majesty, the cause of this incident has been found out." Sima Wentian saluted and presented two jade certificates with both hands. "The cause of the incident was hunting in Youquan. The hunting men and horses were attacked by a large number of heavenly men and horses. If not If it is wrong, almost every family of Heavenly Ministers from Heavenly King to Xingjun had their children killed in Youquan, and tens of thousands of horses and horses participating in Youquan hunting were all lost. From the testimony of eyewitnesses, the attackers were wearing Heavenly Court armor, Holding magic-breaking bows. Like the Guards, the people sent to the scene to verify the situation also found a large number of traces left after the use of magic-breaking bows. Afterwards, the four heavenly kings probably misunderstood that it was His Majesty who ordered them, and this led to the massive mobilization. The behavior of men and horses.”
"The Guards?" Qingzhu, who took the jade certificate in his hand, became angry and asked loudly: "Did the Guards do it?"
Sima Wentian: "The attacking people and horses are suspicious. Although they imitated the Guards, they were all masked. I have verified with the Guards. Recently, no batch of people from the Guards have been to Youquan, and all hunting Among the troops, only those from the Xiahou family were not injured at all. Judging from various clues, this matter is probably related to the Xiahou family. "
Qingzhu quickly checked the jade certificate in his hand and asked, "Where did the Xiahou family come from so many spell-breaking bows?"
Sima Wentian: "Has Your Majesty forgotten the batch of equipment that confused the Xinghai? There is no trace of it so far. There are probably not many people in the world who have the ability to get this equipment quietly. The Xiahou family is fully capable of this. There are various signs. Combined together, that batch of equipment may have fallen into the hands of the Xiahou family! "
After Qingzhu read the detailed interrogation memorial in his hand, his face became serious, and he gnashed his teeth and said a few words, "You traitorous minister! I treat the Xiahou family well, how dare you bully me like this!" With a bang, the hand in his hand The jade certificate was broken into powder.
Sima Qianwen remained silent. Anyway, he was successfully freed this time.
Shangguan Qing secretly sighed and found that the Xiahou family was quite ruthless. His Majesty had summoned Xiahou Tuo into the palace earlier. The Xiahou family stated that they were on His Majesty's side, but secretly they got involved with the Four Heavenly Kings to put pressure on His Majesty. He tore off the fig leaf covering the Heavenly Court, and insisted on asking for 8 million magic-breaking bows from the Heavenly Court. Well, after looking back, I found out that the cause of the incident was the Xiahou family who was up to something. The family has already obtained eight to nine million magic-breaking bows.
But then again, His Majesty didn't betray the Xiahou family in the same way at the beginning. I am afraid that the Xiahou family may not think that he is a treacherous minister and traitor.
You haven't been able to find confirmation from the Xiahou family on this matter, and there is only one answer if you find it, no! Framed! The Xiahou family would definitely not admit it.
The reason is the same as when the Four Heavenly Kings suspected that they had been attacked by the Guards and did not ask His Majesty to confirm it. No matter whether His Majesty did it or not, they would not admit it. Even if His Majesty did it, can they admit it? The consequences of admission will require a huge price to be paid for compensation, which cannot be solved by eight million broken magic bows.
No matter what the truth is now, it cannot change what has happened in reality. Even if the four heavenly kings knew that it was the Xiahou family that did it, they would not spit out the eight million broken magic bows that they had eaten, nor would they go to court to kill themselves again. Put in possible danger, we must take this opportunity and the opportunity that His Majesty has promised to implement everything. Otherwise, there will be no such a good excuse next time. Even if the four key kings know that it is the Xiahou family. You can't do anything to the Xiahou family, especially when you need the support of the Xiahou family now.
At this moment, Po Jun and Wu Qu also came together in battle armor. After both saluted, the two noticed the dust on Lord Qing's hands after he crushed the jade ultimatum. The two couldn't help but look at each other. What kind of report did the Lord receive, but it was definitely not good news.
"Your Majesty!" Finally, the army surrendered and reported: "The four armies of the southeast, northwest and northwest have begun to withdraw in accordance with your Majesty's order. The Guards are closely monitoring the movements of the four armies."
This is good news. The gloomy Qingzhu's face softened slightly. After coming out of the bad mood, he regained his composure. He turned to face the outside and sighed softly, "It's easy to conquer the world but hard to sit still. The ancients are honest." Bully me!" That sigh revealed a lot of helplessness.
Does he have no chance to kill the Four Heavenly Kings? No, there were many opportunities in the past, but he couldn't do it easily, otherwise he could say arrogantly that the four heavenly kings combined in terms of personal bravery were no match for his Qingzhu. He could defeat the four kings by himself. The old guy was killed. However, before gathering the men under the command of the Four Heavenly Kings, once he does so, the first thing the Four Heavenly Kings' old subordinates will consider is whether they will be settled with old scores.
No matter how much you try to appease this, it will be useless. Which king is willing to see other factions continue to hold heavy troops and unite? Isn’t that a joke? Afterwards, they must clean up or vacate the cage to change the bird to feel at ease. People in the Ten Elements Palace are Isn't this the reason for abandonment? Once the four heavenly kings die, the people below, worried about the future situation, are likely to collectively form another group of forces to compete with the heavenly court, or collectively fall to the Xiahou family or the one from the Lingshan Mountain of Paradise, then his green master will immediately become powerful Although he is weak alone, the four heavenly kings can at least maintain the current structure and continue to maintain the structure that delivers the world's benefits to his Qing Lord. Isn't this what he wants? This is also the prerequisite for him to tolerate the existence of the Four Heavenly Kings.
After thinking for a while, I remembered that there was a jade certificate in my hand. I picked it up and looked at it. A smile gradually appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I turned around and threw it to Shangguan Qing, "You all take a good look, this is my minister!"
Shangguan Qing glanced at Sima Wentian and knew that this was what the other party had just presented to His Majesty. He thought that Sima Wentian had done some good deeds to make His Majesty happy. However, when he took a look, he found that it had nothing to do with Sima Wentian, but was sent by a secret agent from the left. Information about Gao Guan causing trouble in the Kou Mansion.
From forcibly breaking into the Beijun position, to killing the guard in front of the Kou Mansion and breaking into the Kou Mansion, finally pointing a knife at Kou Lingxu, he pulled out his teeth and snatched the spy monitoring the right department back alive from Kou Lingxu's mouth, which made Kou Ling miserable. Xu's face was greatly lost. Even Shangguan Qing secretly exclaimed when he saw it. The situation was delicate at this time, and Gao Laohao was very brave!
The jade certificate was passed to Po Jun. After reading it, Po Jun snorted with great disdain, "A traitor is as loyal as a traitor, a traitor!" This was tantamount to directly refuting Qing Zhugu's statement. (~^~)
