Volume 1 The Rise of the Tianwu Continent Chapter 273 Is it black or white
After the two of them rushed out of the collapsed passage, Yang Fan grabbed Qiao Yiyi, who was just about to fly up, and said fiercely: "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to shake the light of the imperial city, I'm going to ask him if the shake light is still the same as before!" Qiao Yiyi's face was full of anger, but there was some unbearability in her eyes.
"Can you not always be so impulsive! Although I don't know the personality of the Emperor of Shaking Light, but through your performance, I know that in your heart he has always been the person you respect, do you really believe that he is the kind of person you think in your heart now?"
"What if you don't believe it? The facts are in front of me, so I'm going to ask him, what kind of person he is!"
"Okay, even if he is a hypocrite, he is a hypocritical villain, what can you do if you go so angrily, you force him to be anxious, and the two of us can't beat him, I think it's better to go back and tell your father about this matter, let him decide!" Yang Fan knew Qiao Yiyi's temper, and he was afraid that going recklessly like this would cause unnecessary trouble and danger.
"I'm going to do this myself!" Qiao Yiyi said as she broke away from Yang Fan's hand, and flew up towards the Shaking Light Imperial City.
Yang Fan shook his head helplessly, sighed and followed, how could he put her in danger alone.
When Yang Fan saw the Shaking Light Hall for the first time, he was still a little surprised, not because of its grandeur and luxury, but because it was a little "dilapidated"! It was as tall and majestic as the imperial city elsewhere, but it was not the same as the imperial city elsewhere, as if it had never been repaired since it was built, and many places had lost their original brilliance.
Although the whole palace looks a little old, it is very clean and gives a spotless feeling.
When the two of them just appeared at the door of the main hall, a team of 100 people had already rushed over, but when they saw Qiao Yiyi, they were obviously startled, and quickly made way for her to the main hall, and then divided into two teams to kneel on one knee and said in unison, "Princess, please!"
Qiao Yiyi did not speak, but walked directly into the shaking light hall, at this moment shaking the light was sitting on the imperial chair in the main hall, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, and slowly raised his head after hearing the sound outside the hall.
Seeing Qiao Yiyi who was angry in the palace, Shaoguang slowly got up and walked off the imperial chair, looked at her and asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong, who made you angry?"
At this moment, Yang Fan also followed, although his face was calm, but the qi of heaven and earth in his body had already begun to surge, ready to make a move at any time, but looking at the elegant man in front of him, he couldn't imagine that he would be such a hypocritical person.
"Is Uncle Shake Light still the same Uncle Shake Light as before?" Qiao Yiyi stared straight at the Shake Light in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
Shaking his brows furrowed slightly, he did not speak.
"What you said about not oppressing the people, not killing innocents indiscriminately, not involving Fengyue, is it just for us?" Qiao Yiyi asked again, and Yang Fan could see that her shoulders were trembling slightly.
"Princess, I don't understand what you mean by this. There was some doubt in his eyes, and the title in his mouth was changed from Yiyi to princess.
"Do you not understand, or do you pretend not to understand? Along the way, there are things that oppress the people everywhere in the city, and you can see things about robbing people's girls everywhere, and you also want to say that you don't know about the brothel under the Heyang Tavern in Jiufeng City?!"
Qiao Yiyi's higher and higher questioning voice once again attracted a group of soldiers, and a man who looked like a general rushed into the hall with more than 30 people with knives, but after seeing Qiao Yiyi, he hurriedly put away his weapons, knelt down on one knee and pleaded, "My subordinates don't know that the princess is here, it's reckless!"
"General Long, you are the personal military general under the seat of Shake Light, what Shake Light has committed, you can tell me!" Qiao Yiyi looked at the man who looked like a general kneeling in front of him, took a step forward and asked loudly.
"The emperor has never oppressed the people, I don't know what the princess asked me to say?" the general surnamed Long clenched his fists and bowed his head and shouted loudly.
"How do you know that I want to ask you about oppressing the people? If you dare not tell the truth, I will behead your dog first!" Qiao Yiyi said, taking out a quaint token from his bosom, with the words Beidou engraved on it.
Even the Emperor of Shaking Light, after seeing the token, quickly knelt on one knee on the ground, bowing his head and saying nothing.
"I might cut off your head with this token?" said Qiao Yiyi as she slowly walked up to General Long, bent down slightly and looked down at him.
"Seeing this order is like seeing Emperor Wu, as long as the princess gives the order, she will cut herself off!"
"Okay, then tell me, what kind of shaking light is in this hall!" Qiao Yiyi stood up straight, and once again fell on the body of the Shaking Light Emperor, as sharp as a sword.
The general surnamed Long had a tangled expression on his face, and then seemed to have made up a lot of determination, bent down and knelt on his knees, and after kowtowing three times to the Emperor of Shaking Light, he suddenly stood up straight and shouted loudly: "Princess Qiyu, in addition to the annual taxes, the emperor also asked his subordinates to go to the city every month to collect money, whether it is ordinary people or shops and stalls, they must hand over a monthly fee, and those who do not pay or resist will be killed!"
"Long Xiao, you bastard!" the Shaking Light Emperor suddenly stood up straight, pointed at Long Xiao and glared angrily and scolded loudly.
Qiao Yiyi stepped in front of Long Xiao, raised the token in his hand in front of the Shaking Light Emperor again, and said coldly, "Do you want to rebel or do you want to kill people!"
"Don't dare to shake the light, it's just this γγγ"
Before he could finish shaking Guang's words, he was interrupted by Qiao Yiyi: "Long Xiao, you go on, this princess will keep you from dying!"
"Although there were no brothels in the Imperial City, there were underground brothels in other cities, and most of the girls in them were stolen from the homes of those who could not pay the monthly money, and some were bought from other places. β
"You traitor!" Shake Light shouted and suddenly burst out, pointing his sword and stabbing towards Long Xiao.
And at this moment, Qiao Yiyi suddenly appeared in front of him, although the Shaking Light Emperor had forcibly dispersed his sword qi, but the sword wind that remained after the sword qi spread directly shattered the walls on both sides of the main hall!
"You can't kill this person! I really didn't expect you to shake the light to be this kind of person, in the name of the princess of the empire, holding this Beidou order, take away your shake light, and put you in the prison, can you recognize it?!"
The Emperor of Shaking Light sighed, bowed his head again and was silent, and after a while, he knelt down on one knee and only said one word, "Recognize!"
"Come on, put the shaking light into the heavenly prison, and General Long will temporarily act as the agent of the shaking light, and the new position of the shaking light emperor will be decided after I go back and tell my father!"
As soon as Qiao Yiyi's words fell, a few people had already stood up and walked to the side of the Shaking Light Emperor, but no one dared to go up and move him.
Shake the light slowly got up, looked at Qiao Yiyi and said with a wry smile, "I'll go by myself, I didn't expect it, I shook the light all my life but in exchange for such an ending, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
There was silence in the apse after shaking the light, no one dared to speak, and no one knew what to say, the expression on Qiao Yiyi's face slowly began to become complicated from anger, there was guilt, reluctance, disappointment, and sadness.
"Let's go, let's hurry back to the Beidou Temple and inform your father of this!" Yang Fan said and stepped forward to pat Qiao Yiyi, who was a little distracted.
"Did I do the right thing?" Qiao Yiyi turned to look at Yang Fan, with some helplessness in her eyes.
"If he's really what we've seen, you're supposed to be a princess!"
The two were silent all the way, and when they returned to the Beidou Temple, and after carefully explaining the ins and outs of this matter in front of Qiao Yiyi's father, Beidou frowned slightly, he looked at Qiao Yiyi and asked, "Could it be that the impression of shaking light in your heart for more than ten years is not as good as what you have seen in one day?"
"I don't want to believe it, but the facts are right in front of you!"
"Facts? How do you know that what you see is the truth, but what you think in your heart is not the truth? Yiyi you have to remember, as a leader, you must be calm, don't be impulsive, don't listen to everything, don't be gullible, you must know to calm down and carefully compare and analyze, this point, you and Qiao Chen are not suitable to be a monarch who leads a country!" Beidou said and slowly walked to the door of the main hall, looked at the majestic Beidou Imperial City outside with his hands behind his back and sighed.
"Leave this drudgery to your brother, I won't do it. β
"Let's not talk about the throne for the time being, you have to do today's things yourself!" Beidou turned to look at Qiao Yiyi, at this moment he no longer looked like a father, but the king of the Beidou Empire.
Qiao Yiyi was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and whispered, "What, what's the matter?"
"Go and shake your innocence!"
When the two walked out of the Beidou Temple with a disgraced face, Yang Fan looked at Qiao Yiyi with a depressed face and said, "What's the matter, I'm not happy to be reprimanded by my father?"
"No, I'm not afraid of being disciplined, I'm not afraid of being punished, I hope everything I did today is wrong!" Qiao Yiyi looked up at the slowly setting sun in the sky, sighed and said.
"Let's go, I'll go with you and re-investigate this matter thoroughly!" Yang Fan adjusted his pace and walked side by side with Qiao Yiyi.
Qiao Yiyi turned her face slightly, stared at Yang Fan and smiled, "You are so good", so frightened that Yang Fan hurriedly walked a few steps away from her sight.
After some discussion, the two planned to start with General Long first, because except for what a few people saw, everything came from Long Xiao's mouth, and it was he who confirmed all the crimes of Shaoguang.
According to Qiao Yiyi's memory, he has a mansion in Shaking Light City, and he has a wife and concubine in his family, a daughter and a son, and the two did not plan to go directly to the imperial city to find him, but discussed going to his house to take a look first.
When the two of them cautiously passed through the brightly lit Shaking Light Imperial City, and came to the courtyard of Long Xiao's mansion, they felt a little strange, at this moment, when they first entered the city, it was the time when people were most active at night, and Long Xiao's home was pitch black and there was no one in sight.
The two sneaked into it and sniffed separately, and then bumped into each other on the roof of the main house.
"How is it, did you find anything suspicious?" Qiao Yiyi asked as she looked at the thoughtful Yang Fan.
"Where have his wife and children gone? Why can't there be a single figure in the mansion of Nuoda, even if his wife and children are gone, there will always be a subordinate, right?"
"Is there really something wrong with him? Could it be that we really wronged Uncle Shaoguang!"
"Do the guards in this city, the soldiers in the palace know you? I remember whether it was the guards we met in front of the Shake Light Hall, or the group of soldiers who broke into the palace, they seemed to everyone to know that you were the princess of the Empire. Yang Fan suddenly caught a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Recognize! Because whether it is the Beidou Imperial City or the army of the Seven Star Imperial City, the entire Beidou Empire is very strict in the selection of generals and soldiers, because each imperial city has a large array that can connect to the Beidou Imperial City, when the Four Gods Sealing Heaven Array is opened, it can instantly connect the large array in the seven imperial cities, and spread the power of the large array to the entire Beidou Empire, just for fear that there will be demon spies mixed in to destroy the big array, so there are very few recruits recruited every year, and they have to go through a very strict screening investigation, and most of these veterans have seen meγ β
