Seeing that the old man was cowering and didn't dare to speak, the prince was immediately furious, but he didn't dare to be angry in the court, so he had to hold back his anger and said in a harmonious voice: "Old man, don't be afraid, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and charitable, and he is a very good person, if you have anything to say, just say it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The old man timidly glanced up at the emperor, hurriedly lowered his head again, and said tremblingly: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, if the little old man says something wrong, will he be killed?" ”

"Coaxing ......" There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the ministers still understood this kind of psychology of the common people who were afraid of the king and the tiger, but now this emperor is not the kind of tyrant who loves to kill, but a very kind Ming Jun, since the emperor ascended the throne, there has never been a matter of killing the head because of saying a few wrong words. Therefore, the ministers were a little amused by the old man's words.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old man, I forgive you for your innocence, say it quickly." ”

The old man relaxed a little, but he was still a little nervous, and his speech was a little unfavorable: "That night, Xiao Lao'er went to Xiao's house to collect the remaining goods, only to hear bursts of screams from the Xiao family's mansion, and also smelled a choking smell of blood...... I ......"

"Speak quickly!" The prince finally couldn't help but let out a low sigh of anger.

The old man was frightened, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "I was very curious, so I boldly walked into the Xiao family's mansion, but I saw that the ground was full of mutilated corpses, blood was almost all over the ground, and the dead were all people from the Xiao family, and the scene was terrible...... I immediately wanted to run, but out of curiosity, I stood there and wanted to see who was slaughtering the people of the Xiao family......"

Speaking of this, the old man did not dare to say any more.

"Did you see that?" The Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Who is killing people?" ”

Lao Tu was shocked, and continued: "I didn't see it, but I heard someone shouting loudly, saying that they were from the Heavenly Soul Sect, and that they were looking for something, but Xiao Lao'er didn't hear clearly what they were talking about......

Having said that, the entire hall fell silent again, and the expressions of all the ministers were extremely shocked, they really couldn't imagine that such a dignified faction of the Heavenly Soul Sect could do such a heinous thing!

However, a question quietly lingered in people's hearts, what exactly was the Heavenly Soul Sect looking for, which would make them lose their humanity and slaughter a family?

The emperor couldn't help but ask, "You really didn't hear clearly?" ”

The old man was suddenly frightened, and cried loudly: "Little old man really didn't hear clearly...... I really didn't hear ...... clearly."

The old man's piercing cry made the emperor a little impatient, so the emperor waved his hand, and an invisible force surged towards the old man, and the old man's cry suddenly stopped, covering his neck and opening his mouth to make a sound, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat.

The emperor turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang and asked, "Xiao Zhang, do you recognize this person?" ”

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Xiao Zhang didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and immediately responded: "I recognize, this person is the perennial vendor who transports vegetables and meat for the Xiao family." ”

The emperor nodded, and asked again: "So, where were you when the Xiao family was slaughtered by the Heavenly Soul Sect?" ”

Xiao Zhang didn't dare to hide it, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, at that time, the minister was concentrating on cultivation in the hunting ground of the Liang family in Yunzhou City, so he was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. ”

"So, what is there about the Xiao family that actually alarmed the Heavenly Soul Sect and made them slaughter the entire Xiao family?" The emperor's successive questions seemed to not want to give Xiao Zhang any time to breathe.

However, this time, Xiao Zhang didn't tell the truth, although he knew that what the Heavenly Soul Sect was looking for was the Soul Slayer Sword Technique, but he couldn't say it anyway, otherwise, not only would he not be able to leave here alive today, but even his father would fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

"I don't know." Xiao Zhang said very simply, "The Xiao family is an ordinary family in Yunzhou City, what could make the Heavenly Soul Sect so cruel and murderous. ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Zhang quietly, his eyes flickering, but he didn't continue to ask.

At this time, the prince smiled coldly and said, "Xiao Zhang, you are less garlic!" As far as this palace knows, the Xiao family was slaughtered by the Heavenly Soul Sect because they secretly hid the Evil Demon Technique Soul Slayer Knife Method, and the Xiao family also has a disobedient heart to the imperial court! “

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was shocked!

Soul Slayer Knife Technique?

This is an evil demon exercise that has been banned on the mainland since ancient times, and everyone who cultivates this exercise is obliged to be punished! And the Xiao family was so bold that they dared to secretly hide the Soul Slayer Knife Technique!

The emperor was also shocked, and immediately asked, "Xiao Zhang, is what the prince said true?" You have to tell the truth! ”

Even though Xiao Zhang had experienced countless winds and waves, at this moment, his face was a little pale, and he realized that today's crisis had finally arrived.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what the prince is talking about." Xiao Zhang tried to stay calm, he knew that if he showed the slightest hint of panic at this moment, he would immediately fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

The emperor still looked at Xiao Zhang quietly, his eyes were a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The prince seized the opportunity and struck while the iron was hot: "After Zuo Dongling got the news that the Xiao family had a secret soul slaying knife technique, he immediately sent people to the Xiao family to look for it, but he never found it, so he slaughtered the Xiao family in line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go." But for some reason, Xiao Zhantian and Xiao Zhang happened to escape this massacre, the reason is really intriguing, Erchen thought that Xiao's father and son were obviously thieves, and after learning the news of the person sent by the Heavenly Soul, they immediately hid out, so they survived. ”

Listening to the prince's words, the emperor didn't say a word, just looked at Xiao Zhang quietly, his eyes were still very complicated.

Xiao Zhang secretly took a deep breath, and under huge pressure, said, "Yes, I already knew that the Xiao family was poisoned by the Heavenly Soul Sect. ”

The prince smiled coldly and continued: "So, in order to take revenge, you father and son will do whatever it takes, and you finally put Zuo Dongling at your feet. If there is revenge, it is a matter of course, but what can be seen from this matter? When the Xiao family was slaughtered, the imperial court, as the ruler of the world, did not know about it, and after the Xiao family was slaughtered, the imperial court did not solve the case for many years, and finally had to settle it. This is a very ordinary thing for onlookers, but for the Xiao father and son, it is an unacceptable thing, they must have a grudge against the court's dilution of this matter, so they are bound to do something unfavorable to the court! Father, for these two people, we must be highly vigilant, and we must not relax in the slightest! ”
