It was just after noon.

Qianwu Palace, Qianyuan Palace.

The empress had just had lunch, and Zhou An and Gao Hong came together.

"The slave has asked the saint to say goodbye, long live the saint, long live, long live, long live......"

"The last will see the saint!"

Zhou An and Gao Hong entered the Qianyuan Hall to salute, but they knelt and stood together, and when the Eight Imperial Queens saw the empress in ordinary private, they did not need to bow down, and only when they met in court or other large-scale activities, they needed to kneel.

"No courtesy." The empress's voice came from behind the bead curtain, but she said again: "Xiao Anzi, you have just recovered from your injuries and your body is weak, so you don't need to kneel when you come to see me in the next few days." ”

"Thank you!" Zhou An thanked him and got up.

"How? What did the Assassin say? The empress asked again.

"If you go back to the saint, he has recruited!" Gao Hong said respectfully.

"Oh?" The empress suddenly got up, then lifted the beaded curtain and walked out from behind, she rarely showed such an eager look. Kang Longji followed the empress's side, with a whisk in the crook of his arm, but his face was expressionless, and his mood did not fluctuate.

"He's hired? Can you get evidence of collusion with Wu Xukuan? Is there a letter? The empress asked when she arrived in front of the two.

"Holy Lord, the mastermind behind the assassin's recruitment is not Wu Xukuan!" Gao Hongdao.

"Huh?" The empress's face changed, and her brows frowned slightly, "Who is it?" ”

"King Yunsu!" Gao Hongdao.

The empress's eyebrows were deeper, and her face was much darker, but she didn't look surprised or surprised! Because the six major vassal kings all have antipathy, it's no secret that even the empress's half-brother King Fengzhong is also coveting the throne!

And King Yunsu is a king with a different surname, and it is not surprising that he wants to take away the Wu family's country.

He hired someone to assassinate Princess Yunjing, which was a rebellion!

But, as far as the assassination of Princess Yunjing is concerned, what good is it for King Yunsu?

"Tell me in detail, how did the assassin recruit him, and what did he say? He said King Yunsu, is there any evidence? The empress said with a negative hand.

Gao Hong gave Zhou An a look.

Zhou An took a step forward, lowered his waist and said respectfully: "Shengshang, it is the assassin of the slave trial, the assassin is a hard bone and refuses to say much, so the slave used the hypnotic method pioneered not long ago, lost his mind, and let him explain several key questions, he confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was King Yunsu, and it was King Yunsu who made a full 30,000 taels of gold before he hired the Pure Land Sect to assassinate His Royal Highness Yunjing, and he also confessed that there is indeed evidence to point to King Yunsu, and the evidence is in the hands of a Pure Land Sect saintess who is Bai Xiaokui, But he didn't say where Bai Xiaokui was. ”

"Why?" The empress asked hurriedly.

"Because the method of interrogation of the minions, that is, the hypnotic technique is flawed, although it can confuse the assassin's mind, but he will also slow down his thinking and memory loss, and he will have a hard time remembering the things in his memory......"

The empress looked at Zhou An coldly.

She didn't ask what Zhou An's hypnosis method was, because she knew similar exercises, such as Kang Longji, but she was not very clever.

Now, the empress is very dissatisfied.

Although the assassin recruited, he didn't say anything too useful!

Although the assassin said the king of Yunsu, this was not what the empress needed, the king of Yunsu had the intention of rebellion and did not need him to say it, the empress had already known about it, and the land of Yunyue controlled by the king of Yunsu was in the southwest border of the Dongqian Empire, and he could not directly threaten the empress.

As long as there is no chaos in the world, or Wu Xukuan rebels, King Yunsu will not dare to really rebel!

So the question now is still Wu Xukuan!

The empress previously believed that the assassination of Princess Yunjing was planned and instructed by Wu Xukuan, and she also hoped so, and wanted to get evidence, this evidence was not for Wu Xukuan's conviction, and this kind of evidence was not needed to convict Wu Xukuan!

The empress just wants the whole world to know that Wu Xukuan is in collusion with the Pure Land Sect!

This will bring great trouble to Wu Xukuan!

Because on the rivers and lakes, those so-called martial arts uprightness hate the Pure Land Sect to the core, they regard the Pure Land Sect as a cult, and the people of the Pure Land Sect as demons that everyone can get and be punished! The same goes for those who travel alone.

The Pure Land Sect has been passed down intermittently for thousands of years, and has penetrated into the three religions and nine streams of the entire Eastern Qian Empire, and even among the officials of the imperial court, there are members of the Pure Land Sect. The Pure Land Religion was a big threat, but in the more than 300 years since the founding of the Eastern Qian Dynasty, the Pure Land Religion has never really done anything serious to threaten the Eastern Qian.

The reason for this is because the Pure Land Sect has always been suppressed by the martial arts decency! Many long-established sects have feuds with the Pure Land religion dating back thousands of years.

The rivers and lakes are full of blood and killing!

But only in the rivers and lakes!

Chivalry is forbidden with martial arts!

That's true! Those famous knights on the rivers and lakes are proud of killing the demons of the Pure Land Sect, they despise the royal law, although they are called justice, but they also kill people without blinking, and they kill the wicked people in their eyes.

If a martial artist who has just entered the rivers and lakes wants to become famous, the fastest way to become famous is to have a hard time with the Pure Land Sect!

You don't need to kill a person of the level of the Pure Land Sect Shaozun, you only need to kill a Pure Land Sect helmsman, and it is enough to be famous all over the world!

At present, there is even a unique atmosphere on the rivers and lakes, that is, everyone will kill the demons of the Pure Land Sect as a shortcut to quickly become famous, including those who collude with the Pure Land Sect, they must be killed! No matter who it is, even if it is a member of the imperial court, they dare to kill! The people of the rivers and lakes sneered at the imperial court, which had a lot to do with the fact that for hundreds of years, the Dongqian Dynasty rarely interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Because Wu Yuanyin, the founding emperor of the Dongqian Dynasty, was born recklessly!

Before he fought for the world, he was a Jianghu person.

Wu Yuanyin understands the rivers and lakes very well, so after Dongqian established the country, he set a lot of unspeakable rules.

For example, the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes!

Let them kill!

They kill each other, disputes do not stop, and weaken each other, which is a balanced way for an emperor, as long as they do not rebel and do not threaten the Dongqian country, they will toss with them!

Therefore, it is of great significance to prove that Wu Xukuan colluded with the Pure Land Sect!

As long as the people of the world and the people of the rivers and lakes know that Wu Xukuan colluded with the Pure Land Sect, then I don't know how many chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes will assassinate him, which is a great temptation for those chivalrous people! In this way, if anyone can really kill Wu Xukuan, it will not only be as simple as being famous all over the world!

Now, however, things have gone awry.

The mastermind behind the scenes is not Wu Xukuan?!

"That's the outcome of your interrogation?" The empress swept Zhou An and Gao Hongdao with her eyebrows and cold eyes.

"Holy Lord, although the assassin did not give a satisfactory result, the minion has already read his memory." Zhou An's voice slowed down when he said this, and he immediately said: "The slave knows that the assassination of His Royal Highness Yunjing was indeed not personally instructed by Wu Xukuan, but this matter has nothing to do with Wu Xukuan, Wu Xukuan has already colluded with King Yunsu, and he has definitely colluded with the Pure Land Sect!" ”

What Zhou An said was conclusive.

The empress was unmoved, but asked directly: "Is there any evidence?" ”

She wants proof! She doesn't care about the process, she wants the result!

"Yet!" Zhou An said quickly, "But there can be!" The minions have a plan, and they will definitely be able to go to the Holy Heaven to get evidence of Wu Xukuan's collusion with the Pure Land Sect! ”

"Say!" The empress's chin lifted slightly.
