"Senior brother, I, Xiangting, am just a mortal, and I can't predict the fate of everyone like Tianshan Moyan. Xiangting smiled a little helplessly.

"So what?"

"Therefore, I naturally don't have the ability to plan the murder cases that Senior Brother just accused me of, in fact, I didn't know at first that in the end, the Heavenly Emperor of our Immortal Immortal Immortal may be you, Senior Brother. ”

Xiang Ting said as she took out a new wooden wine glass from the tray, filled it and tilted her head to drink, this time, she seemed to get used to the strength of the wine, and did not choke again.

After that, Xiangting told Qixiao a story, a thing that was closely related to Qixiao, but Qixiao didn't pay attention to it before.

The story takes place in the Sanhe hub of Chang'an, Wenqiao County, Quanzhou Province.

There is a big family in the county, the Wang family.

The Wang family has a huge industry, with dozens of workshops of silk, porcelain, jewelry, gold and silver ornaments, in addition to operating restaurants, pawnshops, casinos, kilns, etc., which can be described as rich as a country.

But the Wang family's most profitable business is the official Li Dai, which is known to everyone in the officialdom, and the arms business, which is known only to the family.

From the local magistrates to the officials of the imperial court, they were all guests of the Wang family, and many of them were frequent and regular customers, which undoubtedly made the Wang family make money every day; because the interest on behalf of the official profits was very high, the officials who could not repay the normal money could only take bribes and rob the common people, and gradually became corrupt.

At the same time, many people who are in power among the civil and military officials have been dragged by the Wang family to buy officials, so no matter what evil the Wang family has done among the people, even if they are stabbed into the yamen, or even stabbed above the court in the capital, they can cover the sky with one hand.

For the Wang family, there is nothing that cannot be solved by money and interests.

If neither the silver nor the benefits can be solved, then it can only mean that the silver is not enough, and the benefits given are not large enough.

It is precisely because the Wang family understands this rule of survival that they are like fish in water, and their business is booming, and they even reach the head of the imperial court.

Even when hundreds of wagons loaded with munitions were pulled out of Wang's wine cellars, the local magistrates would turn a blind eye even if they received anonymous reports.

You must know that the tax revenue that the Wang family, which has a lot of money, contributes to the imperial court every year, in the eyes of an official, is all political achievements and futures, and they can be exchanged for the lives of the inconsequential people and the military salaries allocated by the imperial court.

In this way, for the officials themselves, they will make a sure profit and not lose money.

What reassured those officials even more was that the Wang family's arms business for decades had been cautious and well-planned, and they had not lost a single life, so even if they knew, they connived at the Wang family to sell arms to the royal iron cavalry every year at a not cheap price to attack those difficult bandits fabricated by the Wang family himself.

Later, the Wang family, this prosperous family, was left in the house overnight, in the front hall and backyard, from top to bottom, and there was not even a single family left.

Perhaps the murderer just wanted to punish the evil and promote the good, but he just wanted to weaken the collusion between officials and businessmen in Chang'an and the power of oppressing the people.

But the murderer may have forgotten that he also killed the ladies and maids in the inner house who had nothing to do with the family business, killed those serious guys who were supposed to run the silk and porcelain business for the Wang family, and even killed the kind-hearted, honest and honest restaurant cook who was adopted by the Wang family since childhood.

The murderer also forgot that after the fall of the Wang family, all the silk, porcelain, and jewelry in the family's shop and workshop were swept away by officials from all sides in the name of verifying the case, and all the embezzlement was lost.

They also let their cronies take over the restaurants, pawnshops, casinos, and kilns left by the Wang family, and indirectly controlled these extremely oily and fertile industries.

The murderer definitely didn't pay attention to it, the hateful official Li Dynasty has not been broken, every year, even every month, as long as there is a vacancy in the official position, there are still people to buy it, and there are still many people, and those who have no money among them can still get enough silver taels from the hands of the invisible people;

And the most hateful arms business is still going on, but the initiators of the common people and the court have been replaced by other rich and powerful families, and officials who have turned a blind eye to these things.

"That's enough, what the hell are you trying to say!" Qi Xiao interrupted sharply.

"System, brother, I want to talk about system. Xiang Ting's eyes did not shy away from Qi Xiao, and calmly looked at the white-haired old man in front of her.

Qi Xiao's expression was slightly flustered when he heard this, and the system was ......

"Without a clear, fair, and perfect system, even if you kill all the evil businessmen and officials, those newly-born simple children, when they grow up, some of them will slowly become devils and suck the blood of others, because under that system, they have to become devils. ”

"Even if what you say is true, what does it have to do with what you did before?"

Xiang Ting got up, walked to the door silently, stopped beside the door beam, turned her back to Qi Xiao, looked up at the sky, and asked after a while: "Senior brother, do you think the structure and system of the land and ghost country are the most reasonable?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Senior brother, you see, the territory of the earth ghost is like a giant tornado, spiraling from top to bottom, with a total of eighteen layers, and the emperor who should be the most high up, instead lives at the bottom, placing all the people under his knees above. Even the daily diet can only drink the leftover water of the Lechuan River drunk by the courtiers and the common people. ”

Indeed, Xiang Ting is right, the earth ghost creatures live by sucking the yang energy of the Lechuan River, and the place with the most yang energy is naturally the Qishengmen closest to the person who just died, that is, by the bridge, the top layer of the earth ghost.

All the yang energy in the water of this Lechuan River must first feed the people at the bottom of the first hall before it can go down to the second hall, and often when it flows to the lowest level of the royal family's underworld, most of the yang energy is left, and many times only the yin qi is left.

"So senior brother, judging from the terrain structure alone, the original idea of the king of earth ghosts should be to lower his own status, or even to the lowest, in order to support the people and treat his courtiers well. ”

Xiang Ting turned around as she spoke, looked at Qi Xiao with a smile and continued: "Speaking of the system, the earth ghosts not only have a ghost art pavilion that can compete with the imperial power, the monarch and the minister depend on each other, the politics and the law are systematic, and there is also a Zhenguo artifact that can personally elect the ghost king. All candidates who have a spiritual connection with the Ghost King Bead must defeat the current Ghost King in order to finally become the owner of the throne, and the King of the Earth Ghost throughout the ages must be stronger than the next. ”

Qi Xiao also stood up when he heard this, and he replied with a serious face: "We immortals are not the same, do we have a bell that listens to all the demands of the courtiers and the people? Isn't the first emperor Xiangshi a king who is virtuous and benevolent and loves the people like a son?

"I don't deny that he is Mingjun. Xiang Ting replied, her smile had been suppressed at this time, and she returned to a calm and quiet expression, "I don't deny that the current system of our immortal is still close to the people and compassionate, and there is no doubt that the mana of the first emperor is also the strongest, above you, senior brother." ”

Xiang Ting said as she walked slowly towards Qi Xiao, "The only deficiency of our immortal is the system of electing the emperor. Senior brother, if a country really wants long-term peace and stability, it must not be a family inheritance system, look at Chang'an, the land we lived in before, each dynasty has a lifespan of only more than 300 years, and then it is constantly overthrown, constantly changing, and the longest dynasty that passes on heirs is only 27 generations. ”

Xiang Ting had already walked up to Qi Xiao at this time, and continued with a serious expression: "Senior brother may think that twenty-seven generations is already a lot, enough, but this is just because the life span of Chang'an is extremely short, and many emperors have died after a few years or more than ten years on the throne, if the term of office of each emperor can be as long as 10,000 years like my immortal immortal, then the candidate for the throne of the emperor has become very important." Therefore, if the drawbacks of the family inheritance system are placed in my immortal world, they will be more obvious and more thorough. ”

Qi Xiao understood that the reason why Xiang Ting instructed the third prince Xiangguo Liang to murder his two brothers behind the scenes was just because their spiritual power was mediocre, and the eldest prince Yuan Fang was not very motivated since he was a child, and although the second prince was sensible and studious, his combat power was not as good as himself and Li Yuan, and his father Xiangshi could not be compared.

In such a comparison, the third prince Xiangguo Liang is indeed the best candidate for the heir to the throne, you must know that Qi Xiao tried his best back then, but he could only tie with him.

"At the beginning, you always hoped that the third prince would succeed the emperor. Qi Xiao said, his words are not a problem, but his own reasoning, directly to Xiangting's original intention.

Xiang Ting nodded, "Yes, at that time, I didn't have the ability or want to make drastic reforms to overthrow a stable dynasty, since there is already the most ideal successor among the royal heirs, just push the boat with the current." ”

"It's just that you didn't expect that the Three Princes Guoliang would also die in Hansuo Bay, right?"

"Yes, I admit that Guoliang's death was indeed unexpected by me. Because the Heart Sutra is not needed to urge the soul, it is already an open secret between me and Guoliang, and even in the hearts of many Tian'en disciples, but because of the seal set up by the first emperor himself, everyone can't take it off directly without damaging their own cultivation for ten thousand years, even if they openly rob it regardless of the consequences, they will die in the hands of you, Senior Brother, just like the previous Qingshui Zhenren, and fall into the crime of stealing national treasures. ”

"That's why you thought of Qingjian, and then you thought that you could borrow him to make good use of Xuanyuan. ”

"Yes, everything I inherited from the Battle of Hansuo Bay was planned by me and Guoliang, and a thousand years have passed, and I can also tell Senior Brother about our plan. Originally, Guoliang would take down Ji Lu in Xiuyun, defeat her on the way back to Xuan Yuan, snatch back Ji Luo, and then use this as an excuse to send troops to Xuan Yuan, in my opinion, as long as Ji Lu is in the hands of Guo Liang, then the eldest prince and the second prince are definitely not his opponents, he will definitely return triumphantly, he will become a hero to recapture the national treasure, and he will undoubtedly become the crown prince of the dynasty. ”

"Then why did you suggest that Ziyu not resurrect him after Guoliang died?"

"Because of the unbelievable Battle of Hansuo Bay, the outcome of that war made me see some uncontrollable factors, and this factor, if I guessed correctly, is the Sanqing God Clan. Senior brother, have you ever remembered the Hansuo Bay Barrier, the Hansuo Bay Barrier that has sealed the Xuanyuan for a thousand years, and Su Yu of the Tianshan Mountains can't break it, which can only show that the person who set up the barrier is also a Protoss, and it is a Protoss that is more powerful than Su Yu's mana. ”

"Even if the one who set up the barrier is the Protoss, what does this have to do with you not resurrecting the national beam?"

"Of course, there is no direct relationship, it's just that the resurrection of the national beam needs to use the spirit jade, but with our relationship with Xuan Yuan, if we want to get the spirit jade, we can only rob it, and it may even be theft, which has to be at the expense of the demon Ziyan, and at that time, in my opinion, the demon Ziyan is the object that the gods want to protect, so his body will be sealed with the spirit jade that no one else can seal, and openly confronting him is undoubtedly setting himself on fire, and if things get out of control, it may implicate the entire immortal underworld. ”

"So you want to stop me from killing Demon Ziyan in order not to offend the Protoss?"

"Yes, senior brother, it's a pity that I'm a step late, one step later than that day Shan Moyan, she still brought the marshal you to the Qishengmen, and the marshal you still did it, and the result of the action is the tragedy on the altar of the immortals, everything is as I Xiangting thought, things are really out of control, and the result of the loss of control is that we have sacrificed the lives of millions of soldiers, originally, they don't have to sacrifice. ”

Qi Xiao was silent when he heard this, he didn't have any words to defend himself at this time.

From Xiang Ting's point of view, and even from the perspective of the overall interests of the immortals, Qi Xiao fought against Mo Ziyan, and the time he killed him with his own hands could not be regarded as a victory at all, if the cause and effect of the situation could really be traced back infinitely, then the person who killed millions of people was not Xiang Shi, nor Mo Ziyan, but Qi Xiao.

At this time, Xiang Ting continued: "Senior brother, as for Mo Yan, this Tianshan Left Protector is too eager to resurrect her queen that she doesn't think about my immortal mortal. Her eyes are undoubtedly the eyes of heaven, then it should not be difficult for her to know that Demon Ziyan and Ye Thorn have already taken the fruit of the Six Sames, if that's the case, we will openly kill Demon Ziyan, and when he comes back to life, when the Protoss behind him will attack together, how will we Immortal Ying deal with it?"

"Senior sister, you used me to kill Mo Yan, you should be clear. The corners of Qi Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

"I didn't take advantage of anyone, I just told Senior Brother about your weaknesses, whether to kill or not to kill, it was Senior Brother's own decision, and if I remember correctly, Senior Brother, you told everyone earlier that Mo Yan committed suicide, if what you said is true, then in fact, you didn't kill her, and I didn't kill her. ”

"What about the Ghost King, what kind of grudge does he have against you, Senior Sister, why did you send Ziyu to get rid of him?"

"Ghost King...... Hehe. Xiang Ting smiled when she heard this name, "Senior brother, don't you notice that the Ghost King has always had an extremely strong desire for Ji Lu, so much so that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his 10,000 years of spiritual power to collect millions of dead souls, Xiang Ting would never believe that he was just trying to solve the ghost spirits on the land ghost border that were not his people, and his throne could be threatened by countless candidates who were eyeing him at any time, so the most important thing was to ensure his mana cultivation first." ”

"So you killed him because of that, because you suspected him?"

"Of course not. Xiangting replied.
