Chapter 589: The Death of the First Warlock of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 589: The Death of the First Warlock of the Tang Dynasty
Chongyan has become very popular recently.
Although he is from a scholarly family, there has not been a well-known figure in the entire Ming family for so many years, and no matter how high the lintel is, it will inevitably fall. However, although he was known to the world for his skills rather than his learning, the benefits were still not at all. People say that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but he thinks that serving the king is very simple, but it is more difficult to coax the queen to do well. However, after much trial and error, he finally found the best way.
There is nothing more wonderful than concocting a perfect past and present life for this noble and incomparable Queen of Heaven!
So, with a three-inch tongue, he was stunned to be promoted from the court's courtroom to the court's doctor within a month, jumping three levels in a row, and wearing this red official uniform, plus he was already born rich and handsome, and he was like a fairy figure. Although he is more inclined to go further by relying on his own face, the opportunity is rare, and now the Empress Wu is more focused on monopolizing power, and has no time to pay attention to some physiological needs, and has no energy to pay attention.
Full of warmth and lust, the requirements of the martial arts queen are not so low, but looking at this guy, he knows that his eyes are docile and sensible, and Li Zhi likes it, so he temporarily treats him as a pet like a puppy and a kitten. Of course, the rumors outside have also reached his ears a little bit, but thinking about Li Xian's temper, that statement is like the wind passing through the water and finally leaving no trace, and it has not left any trace in her heart.
According to Li Xian's temper, if he really hates someone, Ming Chongyan is not a real character, but he is afraid that he will already kick his nose and face and practice it, and he will always endure it?
Thereupon. With the two hardest backers of the emperor and queen, Ming Chongyan gradually hardened. He gradually began to pick and choose, and ordinary dignitaries invited him to the banquet to perform, and he could shirk it; Even when facing the ministers on the road, he only saluted the Taoist chief - he had just received a degree from the Empress Wu and became a Taoist priest to replace Li Zhi, and the identity of the emperor's stand-in made him even more prosperous.
This official robe when entering the palace shows respect for the emperor, and when he goes out of the palace, he wears a Taoist robe to show his transcendent identity, with such wishful thinking. Ming Chongyan gradually became less cautious than before, and sometimes expressed his opinions on court affairs. Of course, since those were still small things, they didn't cause much of a storm. After all, he is still an official.
On this day, he turned from Suzaku Street to Chunming Street as usual, riding a tall horse, followed by two little Taoist boys. It's kind of nondescript. However, this is already one of the scenic lines of Chang'an City, so although there are many people on the side, more people are doing their own work and walking their own way. No matter how weird things are, I have seen too much. It doesn't matter, does it?
Life is wonderful! This is the best horse in the Western Regions that is ridden by the imperial gift, and Ming Chongyan, who is wearing a scarlet official robe, feels it the most. If you study the imperial examination step by step at home, or find a way to make a petty official with your family background. Where is the scenery today? Seemingly. The choice to learn magic from that little official was right. Scarcity is expensive. As long as no one can surpass him in this hand, he will be able to stand tall and achieve great things!
As for the legend of Li Xian, he looks down on him...... That's what it is. That's just one of his stepping stones, if he can soar one day, maybe this prince will have to look at his own face!
Thinking of this, Ming Chongyan's head was held higher, and his eyes revealed a taste of emptiness. Just when he was thinking about what he should say to the emperor and what he should advocate to the queen when he entered the palace today, and when he sorted out his complete collection of tricks by the way, there was a violent vibration under him, followed by an earth-shattering hiss.
The next moment, he was overturned all of a sudden, and after landing on all fours, he only felt that there was no pain in his body, and he didn't know how many bones he had broken.
"Damn, this is still known as the most tame royal horse, I have to kill you......"
Roared out such a sentence, he was about to tell the two little Taoist boys to help themselves up, who knew that it was okay not to turn his head, but when he turned his head, he saw that the two smart and clever little guys had been cut down to the ground and fell in a pool of blood, not only that, but the two fierce men with steel knives were viciously pounced on him.
God, how could he have offended such a mortal enemy when he came to Chang'an for so many days? This is in broad daylight, and someone dares to hunt him down!
Ming Chongyan couldn't care about the severe pain all over his body anymore, and he didn't know where the strength burst out, and he actually got up from the ground and stumbled forward, not even paying attention to the mount that was shot by the arrow when he passed by. He only knew that if he didn't run faster, if he didn't run into a nobleman, he would really die!
Sanqing Daozun, Amitayus Buddha, all of you come out to save my disciple!
However, he was really powerless in his forehand, and he was already out of breath after running out for more than a dozen steps, and suddenly remembered his untried illusion, and quickly touched his sleeve and turned back
Something, and then there is a word in the mouth. Just as the fog cleared, what he saw was the steel knife that had sunk into his chest.
Those who rely on art to win will be counterattacked!
Looking at the two men with smirks on their faces in disbelief, he finally remembered the words that the little official who taught him this skill had muttered, and his heart suddenly gave birth to endless regret, which turned into endless anger. Whoever he recruited to provoke someone, he actually had to kill him!
It's just that he can only find the answer to such a question when he goes to the bottom of the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring.
Ming Chongyan died.
If such news came two months ago, then the highest would only alarm the Yongzhou Party, although it used to be the guest of many dignitaries, but after all, it was not the most powerful person. However, now it is different, it is an official who was personally sealed by Emperor Li, and the official product promoted by the Empress Wu himself, how can it be easily regarded as it?
Not only that, but the murderer still killed people on the street, such a rampant vicious murder incident, this is undoubtedly a provocation to the government and national law! So, when the news reached Li Xian's ears, the county lieutenants in charge of criminal investigation in the two counties of Chang'an Wannian and the military officers in charge of criminal law in Yongzhou had already taken quick action, and the sergeants of Yu Linwei and Jin Wuwei had already filled the streets and alleys within an hour.
Due to Ah Luo's pregnancy, the alley that was already busy with traffic in front of King Yongdi was even more tightly blocked, and the officials could still enter the house, but the servants who took care of the horses were not so lucky, and they waited at the door in groups of three or five to knock their teeth. If you want to say that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, after the bizarre murder case that just happened was reported by someone, it suddenly spread among the servants - on Chunming Street, the most prosperous, lively and sacred street in Datang, it was the first time in the world!
Vendetta, love or political murder?
Sensei said that the common people don't understand politics, and there are also talents among the slaves and maids, and after analyzing and discussing, there are several servants who have fixed the center of the whole case on two words - conspiracy. But as for the cause of the incident, some say that Chongyan is too ostentatious and jealous, some say that he is too unkind to the powerful to annoy people, and some say that he is simply carried away and takes away his wife...... Of course, some kind of rumor that once circulated for a while was carefully hidden, and people only showed each other with their eyes.
Don't you really do that, do you?
"This guy is dead?"
Li Jingye came to report the news, and Li Xian's brain hadn't turned around yet. He had to admit that he had murderous intentions, and it was not that he had not calculated to find a few people in the rivers and lakes to kill people, but that was just when Ming Chongyan's reputation was not obvious in the past. Now this guy's reputation is very good, and his father and mother like it, since he missed the opportunity, and there is no harm in seeing this guy, he will let it go. However, as soon as this person died, the strong smell of conspiracy could not be concealed.
It's not like someone is calculating him now, it's definitely someone calculating him, but who is that guy?
"Although Ming Chongyan said that he was a god and a ghost, he didn't seem to have such a big enmity with people, I happened to be nearby at the time, and as soon as I heard about it, I rushed over, and I happened to see the corpse that had not been transported away. A knife through the chest is instantly fatal, and the attack is really ruthless! Not only that, but those two murderers were able to disappear without a trace on Chunming Street, and they could also hide well when they were in Yongzhou City, which is really strange! ”
Li Jingye remembered the dead face he saw, Rao had killed many people on the battlefield, and he still couldn't help but feel a chill. What he was even more puzzled about was that since Ming Chongyan's illusion technique was so wonderful, why didn't he think of using it to get out?
"Who knows, strange things happen every year, but this year is the most!"
If Li Xian once thanked the wonderful effect of the butterfly's wings, allowing him to maintain a good mother-son relationship with his mother, allowing him to marry Helan Yan, and allowing him to keep the Shangguan family, then this year's series of follow-up effects really made him dumbfounded. Although the death of Ming Chongyan is just a trivial matter compared to Emperor Li and the crown prince Li Hong's illness, from a certain point of view, this matter is only more troublesome than the previous two.
Just when Li Xian wanted to ask Li Jingye a few more words, the latter suddenly slapped his thigh, followed by another slap on the head: "I just cared about talking about this kind of bad thing, but I forgot the biggest news!" Hey, Liulang, as soon as you take the lead this time, everyone in the family is happy! My family's mouth, that is, smaller, she has it! ”
Li Xian's mind was still immersed in the annoyance just now, and after coming back to his senses for a long time, he suddenly rolled his eyes vigorously - should this be called the peak of fertility? Li Jingye got married earlier than him, but he has not moved, why is it that now that Ah Luo is pregnant, there are everywhere one after another? Yes, when the time comes, he won't worry about his children without a companion!
