Chapter 120: Political Shadows

readx;? Although the bell bearer and the two accomplices were successfully arrested, there was no trace of the "big elder". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Lu said I just heard someone talking outside, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

Tang Ying muttered, "Maybe he also has some magician magic weapon in his hand...... Otherwise, unless you are above the level of the selfless realm, you can quickly escape in front of me without leaving a trace - there are only a few people in the entire Tianyuan, I don't believe that he can't come out!"

There are nine masters in the unmanned realm of the Tianyuan world, and those who have entered the upper level of the selfless realm - that is, the three small realms of attaining life, leaving the god and entering the transformation - are less than fifty people, plus they are in the capital, and there may be official bodies, so the mastermind behind the scenes is basically about to come out. It's just that Zhang Lu doesn't think that things will be so simple—you don't have a household registration system here, let alone a scientific grading system, can you really determine the true identity and level of a certain person? If you can clearly count and even monitor even some people, such as martial artists, this social form will not only be similar to the Middle Ages on Earth......

Glancing at the two black-clothed men who were paralyzed on the ground, he suggested: "Let's start with these two guys first, I hope they know exactly who their master is." ”

Tang Ying successively unlocked the acupoints of the two black-clothed men and interrogated them separately, but unfortunately the two guys were very tight-mouthed and quite capable of surviving the punishment, and resolutely refused to reveal the name and origin of the "elder". Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhang and Tang do not have any experience in torture - Zhang Lu has gained a lot of incredible experience from various literary and artistic works, and he can't solve the problem...... Directly slaughtering people with a sword and a sword, it is simple and simple, tossing a big living person like a dead thing, he is not so limitless.

He also took off the bell from Huo Junyu's wrist, so that he could take a closer look, and saw that the bell was only half a fist in size, oval-shaped, and contained a bell tongue - both the bell body and the bell tongue were silver, and there was a faint indescribable strange light.

Zhang Lu injected true qi and probed the spells and mana contained in the bell, as if familiar, but unfamiliar when he thought about it—to put it bluntly, he couldn't use it for the time being. Otherwise, you only need to use this bell to stun the two people in black, are you afraid that you won't be able to ask the truth about the relevant "elders"?

In the end, he had to suggest: "If I can take them into the 'drunken country', I can use an illusion to dig out all the information in their heads-it's a pity, but unfortunately, they may not be able to enter it...... "To enter the "drunken country" world, you must first drink the wine in the bowl, which is simple, but then you have to have the desire to enter it, and it may not be easy to force others to complete this second step-" Maybe...... I'll go back to the 'drunken country' first and write a few illusion talismans......"

Tang Ying glanced at the ground: "You still have one left, what is it?"

Zhang Lu wrote a total of five talismans, four of which were used, and one was left, which was originally held in the mouth of the spirit mouse, and since he moved his soul back, the little pet immediately left the talisman and fled away in a puff of smoke - I guess I was thinking in my heart, where is this? I was still in the house just now, why did I enter the hole in the ground in the blink of an eye? Am I insane?!

Zhang Lu bent down to pick up the talisman and put it into his arms: "This is the magic weapon that lasts to save your life, and it is useless for interrogation...... Ahh

As a result, in the second half of the night, Zhang and Tang were busy searching for pets in the forbidden secret passage that turned around in the song and extended in all directions, and finally captured the little spirit mouse - fortunately, the induction between Tang Ying and the spirit mouse had not disappeared, but the little spirit mouse that was not controlled by a human soul instinctively escaped first when he heard the slightest noise, and he did not drill seamlessly, even if the master of the no man's land was almost defeated......

I finally caught the little guy, and I guess it's almost dawn. Tang Ying said to Zhang Lu that you should go back and rest first, and you don't have to rush into the world of "drunken country" to write talismans-"Since you guess that the so-called 'elder' is a court official, then this matter cannot be concealed from the Son of Heaven." It is better to hand over these scum to the Son of Heaven, the court has its own interrogation masters, and it will be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Zhang Lu shrugged his shoulders and said that you are casual - he really didn't care much about the interrogation process, all he wanted was the result.

The bell, Tang Ying put into the Void Bracelet, and then she and Zhang Lu carried the three captives back to the ground - Tang Ying's female disciples answered outside, and they escorted the captives without mentioning it. Zhang Lu closed the secret passage, went to bed to exercise, and walked twice in a row, feeling refreshed. As soon as he left the room, he bumped into Feng Heran head-on, and talked to him for a long time. By the time he was finally able to get rid of the shackles and go to see Tang Ying again, the red sun was already at the top.

However, the door of Tang Ying's dormitory was closed, and two female disciples guarded the door, saying that it was the Son of Heaven who was visiting, and-"Shizun seems to be losing his temper......" suddenly heard Tang Ying's voice sounding in the door: "Zhang Lu, come in." ”

Zhang Lu signed up and entered, only to see Tang Ying sitting on the top, her face was pale, and she seemed to be quite annoyed, while the son of Zhengyuan Tianzi was laughing with him on the side. Zhang Lu greeted the Son of Heaven, and Tang Ying instructed him: "Close the door first." Zhang Lu obeyed his fate, then turned his head and asked, "I don't know if the result of the interrogation is out?"

Tang Ying had already made it clear that he would inform the Son of Heaven of what had happened—of course, he had to be as vague as possible about the content of the relevant spells—so Zhang Lu was not shy about it. Besides, the distinction between dignity and inferiority in this Tianyuan world is not as strict as on earth, and if he really spoke like this in front of the Son of Heaven at the end of the Han Dynasty - even if he was just a puppet Son of Heaven - he would be impeached and disrespectful, and eventually he would not be able to eat and walk around (unless he was Cao Cao).

Whoever wanted to speak before he spoke, he saw that the Son of Heaven was slightly embarrassed, and Tang Ying was even more angry. "What kind of interrogation, what results!" the old lady raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly, "Who can ask any clues from the corpse?!"

"What corpse ......" Zhang Lu was shocked, "Could it be that those guys are already dead?" It makes sense to think about it-"How did they kill themselves?" This must have happened after Tang Ying handed over the captives to the court officials, so Lafayette was furious, and the Son of Heaven knew that he was wrong, so he would laugh with Bian'er......

Tang Ying wanted to speak and stopped, but finally turned her head and stopped talking. Zhengyuan Tianzi had to cough and turned to Zhang Lu: "This time, you assisted your grandmother to catch these villains, the credit is not small, I have already said hello to the officials, you can become an official at any time......"

Zhang Luxin said that your answer is not what you asked, why are you so weak-hearted, it will not be ...... His eyes rolled, and a slight sneer appeared on his lips: "Excuse me, Huo Junyu, did they commit suicide or did he kill them, and who killed them?"

The Son of Heaven's face sank, and he seemed to be quite unhappy with his repeated questions, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and Sen Ran asked rhetorically: "If I say that I killed me, what will you do?"

Zhang Lu spread his hands: "No, what can I do?" But if these three people were really ordered by the Son of Heaven and even killed with their own hands, then who is the 'elder' behind the scenes, presumably the Son of Heaven knows it, right?"

Zhengyuan Tianzi rolled his eyes: "I know, but I can't say it." ”

Tang Ying slammed the case: "He dared to order the kidnapping of your niece, and you still hid it for him? Don't tell me, in fact, it was also from you!"

The Son of Heaven shook his head: "If I want to ask Liyu something, just summon her into the capital to ask, no matter whether it is moved by family affection or other means, there is no reason why I can't ask the result." However, although Liyu is my niece, in fact, she is still a family member of the princes, and has nothing to do with the imperial court, and the kidnapping of Liyu is neither hostile to me nor contemptuous of the imperial court, so why can't I hide his true identity? ”

Zhang Lu nodded: "I see, I understand." ”

Zhengyuan Tianzi frowned slightly, and squinted at Zhang Lu: "You understand, what do you understand? ”

Zhang Lu smiled faintly: "The purpose of that 'elder' is just to covet the hidden treasures of the Tang Yang Season, which may be selfish or public. I suspect that he is an official of the imperial court, or even an important minister, then it is likely that he is seeking to seize the treasure for the benefit of the imperial court - such a heavy treasure, if it enters the hands of the princes, it will inevitably upset the balance, cause political turmoil, and may also threaten the survival of the imperial court. Therefore, when the Tang seniors transported the last three treasures back to the capital and put them into the possession of the imperial court, that guy also died down - as for his desire to probe my roots, although it is a snake to add, it is not difficult to understand......"

Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders: "If most of my plans are bad in the hands of the same person, and I don't know how they are bad, I will definitely not be able to eat and sleep......

"The key question is, what he did was purely personal, or was he at the behest of the imperial court and the order of the Son of Heaven? But just now the Son of Heaven said, 'Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people', I realized that I wanted to leave - who said that the imperial court can't hire martial arts scum?"

Zhengyuan Tianzi pouted: "...... Go on. ”

"If the imperial court wants to stabilize the world and control the princes, it must use all laws at the same time, and it must not be abandoned-it must be civilized, armed with weapons, open and open, and secretly controlled. There must be many things, and the court can't do it blatantly and with great fanfare, but it is bound to do it, so there must be some people hiding in the shadows and quagmire. Who is the most suitable person to do those evil deeds that the court has to do? 'Six Dragons' and Huo Junyu couldn't be more competent, with their reputation, they can seek victory without any scruples, they don't have to care about people's words, and once they lose their hands, the court can easily get rid of it—who would believe that the court has anything to do with those who are notorious?"

He said in his heart that there were spy organizations in all dynasties and dynasties to help the ostensibly great and upright state power do some unseemly things, and this is not anything difficult to understand? China's 5,000-year history has not been put in my stomach, but I have read a lot of wild histories, secrets, gossip, and all kinds of shady deeds, such as brocade guards, sticky poles, and blood droplets. Don't look at you as the Son of Heaven, you are older than me in this Tianyuan world, in terms of knowledge, you may not be as rich as me!

Analyzing this, Zhang Lu waved slightly at the Son of Heaven, and finally concluded: "The kidnapping of Tang Liyu should not be from the Son of Heaven's instructions, but since his subordinates have been appointed, they must be tolerant of some mistakes and even failures." This is the reason why the 'elder' refused to murder Miss Tang, and presumably the Son of Heaven had already reprimanded him - so the previous day the Tang seniors asked the Son of Heaven to use the power of the imperial court to investigate and investigate the matter......

"Who would have thought that we would not give up, and the 'elder' made another move, and was finally grabbed by our tail - in Xia Zhang Lu is just a guest secretary of the Tang Mansion, and has nothing to do with the heavenly family and the imperial court, the 'elder' wants to investigate me, and it is within his purview, and the Son of Heaven has no way to interfere. However, if we dig deep into the poor treatment of Huo Junyu and others, it will definitely cause disaster to the 'elder', and since he is not guilty, how can the Son of Heaven easily abandon him? Besides, if this guy is really found out, I am afraid that it will also tarnish the face of the imperial court. Therefore, the Son of Heaven couldn't cure this person's sins, and he couldn't destroy this person's mouth secretly, so he had to swing his knife to cut off the little tail pinched in the hands of Tang seniors, and abandon Huo Junyu and the others......"

Zhengyuan Tianzi couldn't help but applaud: "Every sentence is to the point, I can't imagine that there are sages in the wilderness, and they can't be selected for the use of the imperial court, this is the prime minister's fault......" He turned his head and looked at Tang Ying: "Zhang Lu's reason is very clear, does grandmother still blame her grandson? Sun Er was elected by the princes, and he was in this position, and it was related to politics, and there were many things that had nothing to do with right or wrong, and they must be done." Moreover, in fact, subduing and recruiting the generation of the 'Six Dragons' and making them the secret sons of the imperial court is not my new policy, it has been like this for generations, it has been for a long time, and I am just a successor to my predecessors......"

Tang Ying glared at him obliquely: "Does Brother Zhili know about this?" She was referring to the divorce, originally an elder of Luo Tianzong, and later invited by the Emperor of Zhengyuan to enter Beijing to become prime minister - in fact, to a certain extent, he also looked at Tang Ying's face.

The Son of Heaven shook his head: "The prime minister is in charge of hundreds of officials, and Xie is in charge of yin and yang, but he is only responsible for the light, and the dark rule is ruled by the master of the people-grandson, I can't entrust everything to the separated seniors, and stay in the forbidden place to eat white rice by myself......"

The Son of Heaven repeatedly comforted Tang Ying, and finally made Tang Ying lose a little anger. Before leaving, he patted Zhang Lu on the shoulder and smiled kindly, which probably meant: Xiao Young is very politically minded, and the court needs people like you, but don't let me down.

After the Son of Heaven left, Tang Ying couldn't help but sigh and said to Zhang Lu: "There is no way, this matter has to end here......

Zhang Lu stiffened his neck: "This is impossible!" (To be continued.) )
