The emperor fell into deep thought, looking at the record book in his hand, Gu Feng's age was only eighteen years old, and judging from his qualifications, this was a genius alchemist.

If it is really as Cui Ruiming said, it is a spy of a neighboring country, then it is prudent, because of the secret, the neighboring country is eyeing it.

After a long time, he asked, "Then what excuse does Cui Aiqing want to use to disqualify him?"

Cui Ruiming was overjoyed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, Weichen has already thought of a reason, just say that he is a guest secretary of a certain traitorous force, so he will be disqualified." ”

The emperor nodded when he heard this, this reason is also appropriate, but where to find the traitorous party now, how to confirm that this Gu Feng is the guest of his power, there is no time for them to prepare.

He looked at Cui Ruiming meaningfully and asked, "Cui Aiqing must have already found that traitorous force, right?"

Cui Ruiming bowed and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the emperor, this strength is a small force outside the imperial city, as long as you give some benefits afterwards and let them disperse, everything is ready." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Then bring the person and identify it directly." ”

The onlookers in the audience saw that the emperor was slow to announce, and they all talked about it below.

Mu Feng looked at the few people on the stage, and looked at him from time to time, looking at Cui Yuankui in the distance, the other party looked at him with a sneer, he understood probably, and the corners of his mouth lifted an arc.

He sneered in his heart, if the other party is not interested, it is a big deal to take advantage of the situation to forcibly ask for a quota, and he will also collapse the Ministry of Shangshu.

Cui Ruiming nodded to the audience, and the two imperial city guards came to the stage with a middle-aged man.

The people in the audience were puzzled, and someone asked, "Hey, what kind of trouble is this?"

"It can't be that someone is cheating and is being discovered, is that a witness?"

"Don't make a fuss, who did you see cheating?"

"Aren't they?"

"Those few people who don't need to think about it to know that they are the major forces, do you think they will lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot?"

"Yes, could it be a small force that wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and is caught cheating?"

"It's possible, I guess it's one of those people. ”

On the stage, the imperial city guards brought the middle-aged man to the emperor, knelt down and said: "Grass people Jia Gui, meet the emperor, long live." ”

The emperor looked at Cui Ruiming and did not speak.

Cui Ruiming secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, bowed to the emperor with a smile on his face, and then turned around and asked indifferently: "Jia Gui, this official found out that you have treason, can you admit it?"

Cui Ruiming's voice was very loud, which was deliberately heard by the people in the audience.

"Hey, isn't it an alchemy competition?

"Yes, although treason is quite serious, but this is a matter of the Criminal Department, how can you bother the emperor to ask in person?"

"If you're not mistaken, that should be Master Cui Ruiming, the secretary of the ministry, right?"

"You read that right, it's him, but when did the Ministry of Officials interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Department?"

"Hey, this is the face of the Punishment Department. ”

Sure enough, the criminal department Shangshu on the side clasped his hands and glared at Cui Ruiming angrily, and after a long time, he beckoned a person to come over, and after a few words in his ear, the person left quickly.

At this time, Jia Gui's body trembled when he heard this, if it wasn't for an appointment in advance, he almost reflexively denied it, and he said in a trembling voice: "The grass people confess, the grass people deserve to die." ”

Cui Ruiming didn't think of the Criminal Department at this time, nodded with satisfaction and said: "This official just explained to the emperor that as long as you identify your comrades who were in your party before, the emperor is benevolent, and he will spare your life." ”

Jia Gui hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord, thank you." ”

Cui Ruiming said: "Let's go down and identify it." ”

Jia Gui hurriedly got up, got off the stage tremblingly, and came to the square, he saw Mu Feng's portrait, so he came straight to Mu Feng.

He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Elder Gu, I'm really sorry, I really have to do this, I have a wife and children at home, I hope you will forgive me?"

Mu Feng smiled and said, "Who are you?"

Jia Gui said with a remorseful face: "Elder Gu, you can admit it now, presumably the emperor will not embarrass you." ”

Mu Feng sneered and said loudly: "That's your emperor, what does it have to do with me, do you think he dares to embarrass me? Tell me who you are? Either answer or die!"

Jia Gui only remembered at this time that Mu Feng was an alchemist, even if he was really a spy of a neighboring country, he couldn't do anything about it, and once he offended the alchemist, the consequences would never be something he could bear, and he began to feel a trace of remorse, but his family was in the hands of Cui Ruiming, and he had to continue.

The people around were also surprised, and someone said, "This guy has a big mouth." ”

"It's really arrogant, but what he said is right, the emperor really can't do anything to him, at most he will be disqualified from the competition. ”

"This guy's background is certainly not simple. ”

The emperor on the stage also turned cold when he heard this, but he was helpless, because Mu Feng was telling the truth.

Seeing this, Cui Ruiming on the side lifted an arc at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and said, "This alchemist, please don't make a noise, you must be the guest of the Jia family, right?"

Mu Feng ignored him at all, looked at Jia Gui in front of him and asked, "Give you three breaths of time, and if you don't say anything, you will die!"

As he spoke, he directly took out the weapon he had obtained from the hand of Elder Jin, and the golden-backed Qingfeng Sword, a high-grade immortal weapon at the bottom of the ground steps, was pressed against the opponent's neck.

Some of the people around noticed the grade of the sword in Mu Feng's hand, and said in surprise: "Ground-level immortal weapon!"

"Really, are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, the aura of that sword is much stronger than my spiritual weapon. ”

"Then this guy's background is at least a third-level force, no wonder he is so arrogant. ”

The emperor on the stage also shrank his pupils, and he had a guess in his heart, maybe there was some contradiction between this young man and this Cui Ruiming, so he made such a scene, and suddenly there was a trace of anger.

Cui Ruiming also felt bad at this time, people who can get the earth-level immortal weapon are impossible to get without a certain background, even if they are lucky, I am afraid they will not dare to take it out easily.

And at this time, Jia Gui was completely stunned, he was in the early stage of Yuandan, and he was in close contact, he was the first to know the earth-level immortal weapon, and at this time he wanted to die.

Plopped, he knelt directly on the ground and said: "I beg the master to let me go, it was Master Cui Shangshu who forced me to do it, he arrested my family and forced me, please let me go." ”

The audience exploded and said, "I'll go, this Master Cui is the wrong one to provoke the alchemist?"

"Hmph! The people of the Cui family have always been domineering, and it must be that this little brother has some contradiction with them to make such a fuss. ”

"Hey, they seem to have kicked the iron plate this time. ”

"Yes, this is retribution. ”

Cui Ruiming's face turned cold when he heard this, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Dare to slander this official, come and drag him out." ”

The corners of Shangshu's mouth in the distance lifted, and he looked at the excitement with interest.

When the man who had left before returned, whispered a few words in his ear, smiled even more, and waved his hand to pull him aside.

The emperor's face turned green, and a good event made Cui Ruiming reconcile, and he almost offended a force that was no worse than his Nanteng Dynasty.

Mu Feng sneered, looked at Cui Ruiming and said, "What a great official, I don't know that I think you are the lord of this Nanteng Dynasty." ”

Cui Ruiming was shocked when he heard this, turned around and hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said: "Emperor, don't listen to his nonsense, Weichen didn't mean to go over, but he was confused just now, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." ”

The emperor was already furious at this time and didn't want to speak.

Mu Feng lowered his head, withdrew the immortal weapon, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Huh?" Jia Gui was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Hui, Master Hui, my name is Jia Gui, and I am just the head of a small family force outside the city. ”

Mu Feng nodded and said, "You get up first, I think there is one less word in your name, one less word 'of'." ”

Jia Gui was puzzled: "Less virtue?"

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong, I mean the white spoon, I don't know if it's fake or fake, expensive." ”

The people around couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fake expensive, fake, expensive, hahaha." ”

"This little brother is really leisurely, and he is still joking on this occasion. ”

The criminal department Shangshu smiled and muttered, "Interesting little guy." ”

Jia Gui said with a bitter face: "Son, don't make fun of me, I'm still worried about my family." ”
