Chapter 160
He Comes From Outside!
Chapter 160 He Comes From Outside!
It was late at night and it was raining heavily.
Capital City, Spring and Autumn Garden.
Spring and Autumn Garden is located in the eastern suburbs of the capital, and it is a very large cemetery.
Among them, there are two gardens, inside and outside.
Outer garden cemeteries are expensive, but they can still be purchased.
Many wealthy families in the capital will consider the Spring and Autumn Garden's cemetery when someone in the family dies.
The inner garden is prepared for many officials in the palace.
Many favored officials, maidservants, and housekeepers were all buried here by the master.
More than two months ago, Eunuch Qu, the head of internal affairs who took care of the late emperor all his life, was buried here with honor by Emperor Qiyuan.
In the middle of the night, the Spring and Autumn Garden is usually not visited by anyone.
The patrolling guard yawned and was leaning against the eaves to take shelter from the rain, dozing with his spears on his hands.
Suddenly, a sound of clear footsteps woke him up.
The guard raised his head impatiently, cursing inwardly on this rainy night, who is so short-sighted, and came to visit the grave at this time.
But when he opened his eyes and saw who was coming, Hun'er was scared away!
There were about [-] people who came, the leader was in a red official uniform, and a guard beside him held a dark oil-paper umbrella for him.
Boom!
There was a burst of thunder, and pale lightning illuminated the man's face.
Old and grim.
It is the Minister of Rites, Qian Xuewei!
The guard suddenly became excited, hurriedly saluted, and said respectfully: "Master Shangshu!"
Qian Xuewei just nodded, and then led the people towards the cemetery.
Logically speaking, the Spring and Autumn Garden is not open at night.
But the person who came was very powerful, how could the little guard dare to stop him?
Therefore, Qian Xue came to the inner garden unimpeded.
A group of people passed through the neat tombstones and came to a new grave.
The name engraved on the tombstone is exactly that of Eunuch Qu who was buried a few days ago!
Qian Xuewei took a deep breath, "Dig!"
He took a deep breath.
All he has to do is cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and spy on what the old eunuch saw and heard that day with the technique of returning to the soul!
In order to find criminal evidence about Jiangnan from it.
Even if it fails, he has reasons to shirk.
Big deal, being scolded by the new emperor, that's all.
With an order, the figures did not hesitate for a moment, took out the shovel behind their backs, and slammed into the soft ground.
But the attendants with shovels were digging, and suddenly found something was wrong.
Because, after they shoveled the turf, they found that the soft soil underground was like iron stone. Even if sparks were chiseled out, it would be difficult to pry it away!
The next moment, they all passed out!
Qian Xuewei's expression suddenly changed.
Just listen to a voice sounding from somewhere,
"In the middle of the night, digging graves, what does Qian Shangshu intend to do?"
The voice came suddenly, and it was originally in the desolate cemetery. It was like a ghost, and it was extremely frightening.
Qian Xuewei took a deep breath, and said calmly, "I suspect that Eunuch Qu's death has something strange, so I'm here to investigate!"
The reason for this great righteousness is that he has long thought that although there is a transgression, it is understandable.
"Oh? Even for example, shouldn't this be a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"
In the vast rainy night, an illusory young figure slowly emerged.
Everyone's hearts trembled suddenly!
They recognize this man!
Big embroidered clothes, summer bursts of spirit - Ji Ke!
"It's everyone's responsibility to return the world to light."
Qian Xuewei took a deep breath, "Why can't I check the big embroidered clothes?"
Da Xiuyi smiled, "Qian Shangshu, what you want to find out is the cause of Eunuch Qu's death?"
Qian Xuewei's face turned pale immediately, and she hummed, "If not, why did I come here late at night?"
Da Xiuyi sighed, "Don't you just want to know what happened in the palace on the day of the clan rebellion?"
"Don't disturb Mr. Qu's peaceful sleep, I can tell you."
Daxiuyi walked up to Qian Xuewei and whispered a few words.
The next moment, thunder exploded in the sky!
Qian Xuewei's face also lost all color immediately, he opened his mouth wide, faltering,
"Great... Great rebellion!"
"How dare... how dare..."
His voice did not come out in the end.
He tilted his head and fell to the ground without a sound.
Daxiuyi sighed faintly, "For some things, it's a blessing not to know..."
That night, the guards of Chunqiu Garden never saw Qian Shangshu walk out of the tomb.
When he went to investigate the tomb in the early morning, he found a group of unconscious attendants and Qian Xuewei, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning!
Suddenly, I was shocked!
This incident also alarmed Emperor Qi Yuan.
Then, the Criminal Department came.
It only took half a day, Qian Xuewei died, and was finally judged to be Lei Shi.
The imperial court mourned greatly, and the entire Ministry of Rites was gloomy.
Emperor Qiyuan personally raised his pen and wrote a eulogy for the Minister of Rites.
It seems that the emperor is loyal and his ministers are incomparably harmonious.
But in fact, there are already countless officials trembling in secret!
At the beginning, before Qian Xuewei went to the cemetery, she had sought out many people, intending to recruit them into the group.
But no one dared to promise him immediately.
And that very night, this powerful Shangshu Lord was struck to death by lightning for no apparent reason...
——Who the hell would believe it?
But with Qian Xue as a lesson from the past, no one dared to speak out.
Therefore, the Minister of Rites completely sealed up all the mysteries of the past with his life
Since then, the death of the first emperor has been taboo, and no one mentions it again.
.
At noon, Luo Qi Courtyard.
Jiang Nan was drinking tea in the courtyard.
Thinking back on what had happened in recent days, he still felt absurd.
Into the capital for three months.
He seems to have done three major things from the beginning to the end - killing the minister, killing the prince, and killing the emperor.
There is a lesson to be learned from the world, from the beginning, he just wanted to light the green lantern in the clan mansion.
By the way, seal it up.
It's a pity... the world is impermanent, and I can't help myself.
At this moment, the figure of Daxiuyi quietly appeared beside Jiangnan.
He sat down on his own, and said: "Qian Xuewei is dead—he wants to investigate the death of the late emperor."
"You also know that neither I nor Your Majesty can make this matter known to the world."
"So, he died."
Between Daxiuyi's words, the wind was calm, as if it was just an insignificant person who died.
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment before realizing who Qian Xuewei was.
He also instantly understood his purpose.
It's nothing more than just wanting to use the matter of killing the emperor to engage in Jiangnan.
He touched his nose, "Is that why he hates me?"
"Qian Xuewei's official career has been very smooth, and she has a very good face. The only time she failed was when she was forced to remonstrate against the palace that day and was reprimanded by the late emperor."
Da Xiuyi shook his head, "I'm afraid I will hate you because of this..."
Jiang Nan sighed, stopped thinking about it, and asked instead, "Da Xiuyi, these days, I have always had a question."
"Say."
"The shepherd...what exactly is it?" Jiang Jiang asked after pondering for a moment.
When he was in the summer palace that day, he saw the shepherd's real body - a crystal-like crystal nucleus.
As far as he knows, there is no protozoan structure in Shangyuan like this.
It might be better to say that the shepherd is more like... some kind of alchemy or mechanical creation than a living being.
Then the problem is coming.
If this is the case, what kind of existence can make such a monster that can kill a first-rank saint with a broken body?
Daxiuyi was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and finally opened his mouth slowly.
"Shepherd, in fact, he wasn't called shepherd at first. It's just what the ancestors called him, but do you know why he is called shepherd?"
Jiangnan shook his head.
"Because...his identity is equivalent to that of a herdsman."
"It's just that the herders feed cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks with grass to harvest blood, eggs and milk."
"However, the shepherds teach the souls of the Shangyuan with the way of practice, and then enslave them all to form an army."
Da Xiuyi revealed a shocking secret between his words,
"He came from beyond the sky."
"He was created by the power outside the sky."
"His duty is to grow the human beings in Shangyuan like Gu, and expand the puppet army for his creator."
