Within two days, because the demon king Lin Shi was bedridden due to the pain of losing his son, he resigned from the position of the demon king and recommended his son-in-law Qilinzi to inherit the position of patriarch and act as the demon king.

The high-level clan of the Qilin clan knew that this was Linshi's strategy of retreating and advancing, so he didn't make it too difficult for the Qilin Zi during the election, but just went through the motions.

All this was expected by Zhou Zheng and the others. However, what Zhou Zheng didn't expect was that the biggest opposition to Qilinzi's election as patriarch was Murong Huang.

Murong Huang strongly opposed Qilinzi's election, he felt that Qilinzi was impeccable in cultivation, and he might be fully qualified to become a demon king one day in the future. However, the current unicorn is too young, and he is in urgent need of experience in human affairs, and he is extremely lacking in judgment in the handling of major events! Therefore, the current unicorn is not suitable to be a patriarch!

Because Murong Huang's prestige in the clan is very high, there are many clansmen who support him. However, there are still some clans who are always doing things according to Linshi's intentions and going all out to support the election of Qilinzi.

The two sides did not want to give in to each other, and what was originally a simple election turned out to be a tug-of-war in the end.

Lin Shi, who wanted to manipulate behind the scenes, also had to bring his sick body to attend.

"General, is it up to you to sit in the position of the patriarch, so that you are satisfied?" Lin Shi was angry, and he spoke with a strong sense of threat.

In this matter, it is indeed strange that Lin really did not communicate with Murong Huang in advance. However, Murong Huang has always been loyal to himself, and Lin Shi never imagined that his recommendation would be strongly opposed by Murong Huang!

"My king, I, Murong Huang, are only loyal to you! You say I will never go west! However, your subordinates don't understand, how can you give up such an important position as the patriarch to a stinky boy? Who in the whole clan could be more suitable for the position of patriarch than you? Let him be the patriarch, I don't accept it! ”

Lin Shi knew that Murong Huang was telling the truth, and he was very moved! However, at this time, when it comes to the reputation of the royal family, he must abdicate first. However, his plan to manipulate the Qilin clan behind the scenes, Lin Shi could not tell Murong Huang in public. This made him anxious!

"Murong Huang, do you still listen to my words?"

"My king, your subordinates obey their words and never dare to disobey them!"

"Okay, I'll let you support Qilinzi!"

"But, Demon King..."

"That's it!" Lin Shi is the final word.

Murong Huang opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

In this way, under the strong recommendation of Linshi, Qilinzi was unanimously approved and elected as the new patriarch of the Qilin clan.

Back in the dormitory, Qilinzi cracked his mouth aggrievedly.

"Father, Murong Huang is not convinced by me!"

"Afraid of what? You are now the patriarch, and if he dares to disobey you, you will punish him!" ”

"I don't dare! I'm afraid he'll hit me! ”

Several of Lin Shi's children were afraid of Murong Huang, because Murong Huang obeyed Lin Shi's orders. As long as Lin Shi gave the order, Murong Huang would not hesitate to take the whip and teach these children a lesson. The two sons-in-law, including Qilinzi and Pushi, have shadows in Murong Huang's hearts.

Lin Shi sighed, he also knew about the situation. However, now, killing Murong Huang, Lin Shi is reluctant. It is really hard to find such a person with great prestige and loyalty to himself!

However, if Murong Huang is recommended to be the patriarch to replace Qilinzi, Linshi feels that Murong Huang is not as easy to control as Qilinzi.

After all, the unicorn lacks roots and tendons, and it is easy to be at the mercy of the unicorn. However, if Murong Huang sits firmly in the position of patriarch, he will raise his arms against him one day. Even if Lin Shi has a high level of cultivation, he will end up being expelled or murdered.

This is something that Linshi will never tolerate!

"My son, don't be afraid! In two days, I'll talk to Murong Huang about it. ”

"Father, why don't I be the patriarch anymore!"

"Nonsense! Do you think whoever wants to sit on the position of patriarch can sit there? Besides, you are already the patriarch, what are you afraid of Murong Huang? ”

"I, I, can't beat him!"

"You're the patriarch! If he dares to hit you, that's a rebellion! He doesn't want to live anymore? ”

"I, I was mad when I saw him!"

"Look at your point!" Lin really hated the iron and looked at the drooping unicorn.

"That's it, you are now a cultivator of the eighth level of the Great Perfection of the Immortal Rank, I will give you some herbs, and you go back to the daily medicinal bath to disperse your meridians. Ten days later, I will use the Daigo empowerment method to transmit some more of your power so that you can reach the ultimate state of Dzogchen. At that time, Murong Huang will not be your opponent! You don't have to be afraid of him! ”

Qilinzi's eyes lit up, "Can I really beat Murong Huang?" ”

"Yes!"

"Great! I'll go back and make the soup now! That, Father, can I sleep in the decoction for ten days? What to do if you pee? ”

"Who told you to soak in the medicinal soup every day? One hour a day is enough! ”

"Got it, Father! I'll go first. ”

Watching the unicorn fart go away, Lin Shi was so angry that his chest was blocked. This kid is really hard to achieve!

However, it is because of this that Lin Shi is relieved to put him in the position of patriarch, and he is in charge behind the scenes!

Waiting for his chest to slowly soothe, Lin Shi sat down in a chair decadently. Since knowing about Concubine Zhai and Lin Miao's disobedience, Lin Shi felt that his body was becoming more and more weak, and he often experienced chest tightness and air congestion.

He was really angry! He can be said to be sincere to Concubine Zhai! No woman ever cared so much about him! However, such a woman betrayed him! Moreover, the object turned out to be his own son!

This is simply unacceptable to Linshi! It's a shame!

He knows that now is not the time for self-pity, he is resolute, and he will never allow himself to have a state of self-pity!

The top priority now is to put the rumors out there! He wanted to find someone to help him come up with ideas, but after thinking about it, he only thought of Zhou Zheng alone!

That guy! Could it be that he really didn't know what the rumors were about in advance?

Lin Shi found an inner servant and asked Zhou Zheng to come to the dormitory to talk about it.

Zhou Zheng is worried now. Xianghua is an important breakthrough point, and the person behind her is likely to be the one who is scheming to harm herself. Therefore, Zhou Zheng wanted to return to Xianghua and interrogate carefully.

However, Lin Shi, who was furious, killed Xianghua directly! At that time, in that chaotic situation, it was too late for Zhou Zheng to realize the danger of Xianghua and want to come to the rescue!

Seeing this clue cut off, Zhou Zheng was quite annoyed! But there is nothing to be done.

Back at the Department of Law and Punishment, he called Shanwei and Cheng E together and told them everything that happened in the main hall that day.

"Amitabha, we have all been deceived by fragrant flowers!"

"From this point of view, the matter of Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai was indeed premeditated! No need to ask, the purpose of the people behind the scenes is to force Lin Shi to abdicate! Zhenjun, what now? ”

Then track down the source of the rumors. However, I am afraid that the communicator of the source is only a small role. Even if you hold him, you won't necessarily be able to ask anything more. ”

"I'll arrange for someone now."

"Remember, you don't have to catch it this time. Just monitor and track! ”

"Understood!"

Waiting for Cheng E to leave, Zhou Zheng asked Shanwei, "How is Meiyuan's predecessor lately?" ”

"Mei-senpai is not in a haunted house. Where did he go, even Tu Shanqing didn't know. However, Tu Shanqing said that her master must not have gone far, somewhere in Jiaxiang City. ”

"Forget it. An immortal, if you don't want people to find it, no one can find it! ”

"What do you want to ask Senior Mei for help?"

"I originally wanted to ask Senior Mei how I could kill a person of the Ninth Layer of the Immortal Rank without knowing it."

"What do you mean? Will Lin Shi be killed? Shanwei is very smart, and immediately understood what Zhou Zheng meant.

"Think about it, if this bureau was arranged by Qilinzi and Murong Huang, and it had been arranged for so many years, once they sat on the throne of the patriarch demon king, would they be willing to be controlled by Lin Shi who was hiding behind them?"

"Zhou Zheng, there is one thing I have always been unable to understand. If our analysis is correct, you say, why would Murong Huang be willing to cooperate with Qilinzi? Doesn't that seem like much of a benefit to him? ”

"Yes. I didn't understand that either! However, I always felt that something was going to happen these days. ”

"What shall we do?"

"Wait and see!"

Sure enough, within a few days, Lin Shi announced his abdication and recommended Qilinzi as the patriarch. Although, during this period, Murong Huang's strong opposition made Zhou Zheng puzzled. However, no matter what, Kirinko managed to become the new patriarch.

Just participated in the celebration of the inauguration of the patriarch of the Qilinzi, and before Zhou Zheng left the palace, he was invited back by the guards to meet their old demon Wang Linshi.

When I walked into the empty dormitory, I saw Lin Shi sitting on a soft couch, his face haggard, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.

"Zhou Zheng, are you here? Come, sit down! ”

"Thank you, Demon King." Zhou Zheng sat down.

"From today on, don't call me the Demon King, I've abdicated, I'm a bad old man."

"The demon king is too humble! Then I'll dare to call you a senior. My senior called me, do you have any instructions? ”

"The old man invited you over, and there is really one thing to ask for."

"Don't dare! The seniors have something to say. ”

"The old man wants to ask, Concubine Zhai, you really didn't know about it in advance?"

"Senior, Concubine Zhai's incident was first heard by rumors, and then heard from Xianghua's mouth."

Zhou Zheng's answer is true, but the order is reversed, and the place where he listens to Xianghua's confession is different!

"That's right! That girl begged you for mercy. She lied to you! ”

"Yes. The seniors asked this question today, is it because they have doubts about this matter? ”

"Clever! I just like to deal with smart people! Yes, Concubine Zhai's incident may be true. However, what kind of vanilla had an accident, and the rumors spread later, at this point in time, is it too coincidental to Lin Miao to assassinate you? ”

"What the seniors mean, why didn't Vanilla or Xianghua tell this matter earlier or later, but didn't Xianghua say it until Lin Miao was killed for assassinating me, which attracted the attention of the whole city, and when rumors were spreading?"

"Yes. I've been thinking about these things over and over again these days, and it always feels like someone has carefully arranged them! ”

"I don't hide it from my predecessors, and I feel the same way. It's a pity, senior, you killed the only fragrant flower who knows the truth! ”

"Hey, blame the old man! I was so angry that day, I couldn't control myself! Actually, I didn't want to kill her! ”

Lin Shi said this unintentionally, but Zhou Zheng heard something else.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, do seniors often lose their temper?"

"What do you say? When it comes to cultivation like mine, how can I easily lose control of my emotions? ”

Lin Shi was stunned after speaking. The Ninth Layer Great Perfection, but he is a person who has already cultivated his mind, how could he lose control of his emotions and kill people that day? Could it be that he is really too affectionate for Concubine Zhai and can't accept the facts?

Wrong! Lin Shi quickly figured out that this matter was different. How many winds and waves have you navigated, how can you be emotionally uncontrollable for a woman?

"Zhou Zheng, this is not right!"

"Seniors also thought of it? I really think this thing is weird everywhere. ”

"Zhou Zheng, you have to help me! Please help me! ”

"Senior, please tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Help me figure this out! You are professional in this area, besides, I will leave it to you, I can rest assured! ”

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, "Senior, this matter can be investigated in the future, but it will involve many internal matters and high-level people of the Qilin Clan." I'm afraid that the authority of my legal punishment department is not enough! ”

Lin Shi was also worried. Zhou Zheng is telling the truth. If the Department of Laws and Punishments wants to dig deeper into this matter, it will definitely involve a lot of internal secrets of the Qilin Clan, and will also investigate and inquire about many high-ranking figures of the Qilin Clan.

However, given the delicate relationship between the Demon Clan and the Law and Punishment Division, no one will definitely cooperate happily, and they will even make things difficult everywhere! In that case, the case will fall into a dead end, and there will be no success!

"What do you think?" Lin Shi came up with an idea, "Don't use the name of the Department of Punishment!" I asked General Murong Huang to secretly investigate this matter, and you are in command behind the scenes. Murong Huang will fully cooperate with you! ”

"Senior decided to let General Murong Huang investigate this matter?"

"Naturally! He's the one I trust the most! ”

Zhou Zheng really couldn't say it clearly, so he had to say tactfully, "But, he, he is against the Qilinzi you recommended as the patriarch?" Will he do his best to investigate this now? ”

Lin Shi laughed.

"It's normal for Murong Huang to look down on Qilinzi, they have a grudge!"

"Hatred? What the hell is going on? ”

"Hey," Lin Shi sighed, "it's not really a big feud. Qilinzi's family and Murong Huang's family are not far away, and they are neighbors. The age difference between Murong Huang's eldest son and Qilinzi is four or five years, and when they were young, they were a group of children who often played together.

Murong Huang's eldest son is old after all, so he often takes a group of children to bully Qilinzi. However, Qilinzi is not a good stubble, and he has been a cultivation wizard since he was a child, so he rose up to resist fighting with Murong Huang's eldest son and didn't want to let each other.

Once, Murong Huang's son led a group of people to trouble Qilinzi again. This time there was a fight, and the two sides actually moved their blades.

That time hurt a lot of children. Murong Huang's eldest son was impaled through the hamstring of his right leg, leaving him lame for life. And the unicorn was smashed by the copper hammer and his head was bleeding, so that his brain was not very bright!

This was originally a grudge between children, and it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong. However, his son's lifelong disability was still a big blow to Murong Huang. Therefore, Murong Huang looks down on Qilinzi and does not deal with Qilinzi everywhere! ”

"So there's still this!"

"However, there is one thing, Murong Huang has a clear distinction between public and private, and he only obeys me. So, I don't have to worry about leaving this matter to him! I'll arrange it and let him go all out to cooperate with you! ”

"Got it, senior. I will cooperate well with General Murong Huang and strive to find out the truth as soon as possible! ”
