Chapter 67
Lin Cheng no longer had power in his hands, and he couldn't knight these loyal subordinates, and he couldn't give them more treasures and cultivation resources. The only thing left is to put down their bodies and envelop the hearts of these people, so that they can be willing to follow them in the next days of escape!
"When we come back, you will be the greatest hero of the Qilin Clan! I will make you the prince of the country! You will become the first female princess in history! ”
The old man hurriedly knelt down and thanked, "Thank you Demon King!" Shall we leave now? ”
"No hurry! Wait for your brothers and sisters to come, and wait for Murong Huang and Zhou Zheng. I want to ask Zhou Zheng, has he found the murderer in the case of the inner officer? ”
"Maybe, haven't found it yet? In the past few days, I have seen him ask all the maids in the palace, and he doesn't seem to have gained anything. ”
"That's what he didn't know what Kirinzi said today! Zhou Zheng is very smart, don't underestimate him! As long as I tell him what Kirinzi said about that maid, he will find out the clues! ”
While the two were talking, several other people from the five Bu brothers and sisters also came one after another. Lin Shi ordered Pushi to lead the guards to clean up Concubine Zhai's body, and then let the five Bu brothers and sisters accompany him back to his own dormitory to pack his bags.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, Buda suddenly asked, "Who is it?" ”
The old man also shouted, "There are assassins! ”
The five of them quickly surrounded Lin Shi in the middle.
Lin Shi was startled and hurriedly looked around. Maybe it was because of the great reduction in cultivation, or maybe it was because his body was too weak, and he didn't feel anything.
However, looking at the posture of the five Bu brothers and sisters as if they were facing a great enemy, Lin Shi knew that he had encountered a strong enemy again. He was very suspicious, and he didn't know who this person who was going to assassinate him would be?
The five of them suddenly formed their hands in the same pose. Lin Shi knew that they were going to use their strongest team, and they struck a blow to the sky.
I only heard the old man standing behind Lin Shi take a deep breath, and the four powerful air masses all converged on her body.
Lin Shi was a little surprised, and he didn't understand why the boss who was the main attack this time was still standing behind him? Could it be that the enemy is attacking from behind him?
He was just about to turn around to check, when the overwhelming force hit him on the back. The earth-shaking palm print, which was comparable to the Demon King's blow, threw Lin Shi out of two zhang away, and pierced through the thick stone pillar by the door.
His internal organs were shattered, his bones were broken, and the whole body was like a puddle of mud, lying on the ground and unable to move!
"My king!"
Just when Lin's solid heart was like ashes and he lamented that his life was not long in coming, the familiar voice made him kindle hope for life again.
"Great, General, quick, save me! They, they..."
Lin Shi was too weak to even finish his words.
Murong Huang hurriedly helped him up, "My king, Zhou Zheng Zhenjun is also here!" ”
Lin Shi's vertebrae were all shattered, and his head could only be lifted by Murong Huang's dragging.
"Zhou..." He wanted to say something to Zhou Zheng, but Yu Guang saw that Qilinzi sneaked into the hall and ran into the hall.
"Kirin..."
Before Lin Shi could scream, a short knife had already penetrated through his Heavenly Spirit Cover and went straight to the Yuan Shen in his sea of consciousness. It was a magic weapon dedicated to killing the primordial gods, and with only one stirring, Linshi's primordial gods completely disappeared!
Until the last moment, Lin Shi didn't figure out who stabbed it? He couldn't figure out why the five Bu brothers and sisters, who had always been loyal to him, suddenly turned back? What made him even more puzzled was that the concubine Zhai he loved so much would take his life even if he exchanged his life for his life, why was this?
Now, though, he never had a chance to think about it again!
In the morning of the same day, the news of Linshi's death spread through the streets.
The external saying is that Lin Shi missed his son Lin Miao too much, became ill with grief, and finally died of depression!
And Concubine Zhai, because she was grateful for Linshi's true feelings for herself, was martyred!
For the elder high-level of the clan, the rhetoric given by Qilinzi and Murong Huang was that Concubine Zhai admitted that she had an affair with Lin Miao, and Lin Shi was in a hurry and went crazy. not only killed Concubine Zhai, but also killed himself in the end!
First, Concubine Zhai's severed body and the short knife piercing Baihui on the top of Lin Shi's head were exactly the beloved things that Lin Shi wore with him, which further confirmed the truth of the matter. Second, Qilinzi and Murong Huang, the two sworn enemies, actually said the same thing, and the old high-ranking people of the clan couldn't help but believe it.
So, under the sad auspices of Qilinzi, Linshi was buried in accordance with the ceremony of the demon king, and Concubine Zhai was also buried next to Linshi's tomb as a companion.
Following the death of Qingji, Lin Shi's death marks that the era of the three demon kings dividing up Kunlun Xuan is gone! Kunlun Xu will usher in a new big change!
This matter has been tossed for more than half a month.
On this day, Murong Huang personally came to the Punishment Minister's Mansion and warmly invited Zhou Zheng to his mansion for a drink.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Zhou Zheng took Cheng E and the great monk to enter the general's mansion with Murong Huang.
There was already a person waiting inside, and when he saw Zhou Zheng and his entourage, he hurriedly saluted.
Zhou Zheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was the current patriarch of the Qilin clan, Qilinzi, and hurriedly confessed to the crime.
Murong Huang stepped forward with a smile to arrange a seat, and deliberately arranged the Qilinzi beside Zhou Zheng.
Qilin Ziqian gave in for a long time, and finally sat on the main seat beside Zhou Zheng.
Judging from the words and deeds of Murong Huang and Qilinzi, how can there be the slightest appearance of enemies not dealing with each other?
"Zhou Zheng Zhenjun, I have issued an order to order all the troops to withdraw from the occupied Qingluan land. In three to five days at most, they will all be withdrawn. Please tell the Plum Feather Demon King and send someone to receive it! ”
"I'm the Meiyu Demon King, and the Qingyun Patriarch is grateful to the Qilinzi Patriarch!"
What Zhou Zheng said is very interesting, he represents the Mei Yu Demon King, which shows that his relationship with Mei Yu is extraordinary; He represents the patriarch of Qingyun, which shows that he and Qingyun still have a marriage contract.
However, he didn't mention representing the Qingluan clan at all, just to send a signal to Qilinzi and Murong Huang. Zhou Zheng is the patrol of the Law and Punishment Division! There is no difference between intimacy and alienation with any clan of Kunlun Xu!
Qilinzi naturally understood what Zhou Zheng meant, and he was overjoyed. He was really afraid that Zhou Zheng would target the Qilin Clan everywhere against the Qingluan Clan, so the future development of the Qilin Clan would be difficult!
If this is the case, he must change the existing grand strategy of the friendly Qingluan clan and turn his head to try to cooperate with Long Hai!
"In addition, I have allocated three more cities in the Qilin Clan to give to Zhenjun, two as the public property of the Punishment Minister's Office, and one for Zhenjun as your personal private property."
Previously, the agreement reached between Lin Shi and Zhou Zheng was to build five cities, but that was on the land of the Qingluan clan that he occupied. And now, although the Qilinzi has only been given three, it is in the land of the Qilin clan, and they are all three wealthy cities rich in materials, and the sincerity is even higher than that of Linshi!
"We are deserved by the Department of Law and Punishment, as well as by myself personally! We didn't do much to help, and we were terrified to give such a big gift! ”
Qilinzi clasped his fists and saluted on the seat, "Zhenjun, this is me and the general to thank you for fulfilling a little of our hearts in the matter of the first demon king." At the same time, it is also a gift of reparation for the two of us to Zhenjun! ”
Zhou Zheng pretended to be puzzled, and hurriedly returned the salute, "I really don't dare to do it in the next place!" What are the two of them? ”
Qilinzi looked at Murong Huang hesitantly, and when he saw Murong Huang nodding slightly, his eyes also became resolute. He opened his mouth and told the truth.
"It was not Lin Miao who led Zhenjun to the haunted house, and it was not Lin Miao who wanted to kill Zhenjun under the pretense of using the hand of the ghost king, but the two of us!"
Cheng E, who was sitting at the bottom, was taken aback, and then remembered how accurate Zhou Zheng's speculation was!
"The general and I, in fact, are mainly the generals, and we have been planning this for more than ten years, and we have never found a suitable opportunity.
That time, after getting the news that Zhenjun had come to Jiaxiang City, we began to implement the plan to frame Lin Miao and expose the scandal between him and Concubine Zhai. So, before you enter the city, I arranged a scene where Vanilla threatens Lin Miao and pretends to run for her life to meet you.
Originally, I planned to have this introduction, and then let Vanilla pretend to be inadvertently saved by your Correctional Division, and then expose this scandal again. Finally, through the mouth of your legal punishment department, this scandal will be announced to the world, so as to achieve the effect of forcing Lin Shi to abdicate!
However, when Zhenjun entered Jiaxiang City, he happened to be assassinated, and the perpetrator happened to be Lin Miao's most trusted confidant. At that time, I consulted with the general and felt that this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone to get rid of Lin Miao and Lin Shi.
Steward Zhang in Lin Miao's Mansion was bought by me early in the morning, and his son was also funded by me to open a shop. Therefore, he listened to me. I found Niu Fu, a rotten gambler who was kicked out of the house by Lin Miao but worked in Lin Miao's lady's car dealership, through Steward Zhang, and asked him to find someone to trick you into a haunted house.
And the general and I used the banner of the demon king Lin Shi in advance to ask the ghost king to help with this. ”
"This trick is really clever, no matter whether I live or die, as long as something happens to me, the Department of Law and Punishment will definitely investigate it to the end. And all the clues will point to Lin Miao, and the Department of Law and Punishment will definitely hold on to Lin Miao. If at this time, Vanilla surrenders again and exposes the matter of Lin Miao and Concubine Zhai, the Department of Law and Punishment will definitely make a big fuss and make Lin Miao ruined, so as to avenge me! ”
Qilinzi hurriedly apologized, "This matter is offended, and I ask Zhou Zhengzhenjun for forgiveness!" This plan is my plan, it has nothing to do with General Murong Huang, if Zhenjun wants to fight, he will punish me to bear it! No complaints! ”
"No, it's all my idea!" Murong Huang also hurriedly stood up, "Zhou Zheng, I know you have resentment in your heart. As long as you can dissipate your anger, even if you take my life now, the old man will never complain! The old man has only one request, and this matter is a personal matter between me and you. Please also ask Zhenjun to be kind to our Qilin clan after killing the old man! Give our patriarch Qilinzi a little more room to grow! ”
Zhou Zheng laughed, "General Murong Huang, do you still use me to give the Qilinzi patriarch room to grow?" Looking at the current cultivation of the Qilinzi, in less than a year, Kunlun Xuan will give birth to a new demon king! Congratulations!
Besides, didn't you invite us to drink today? What a kill, what a death, what a disappointment! Don't hurry up and serve good wine and food! ”
Murong Huang and Qilinzi couldn't figure out what medicine Zhou Zheng bought in the gourd, so they could only order the maid to serve wine and food, and everyone sat down!
After three rounds of wine, Zhou Zheng raised his wine glass.
"Patriarch, General. I, Zhou Zheng, am not a cautious person, and you are helpless to kill people with a knife, I understand! Even if this matter is over, no one is allowed to mention it again in the future! ”
Zhou Zheng's words made Murong Huang and Qilinzi overjoyed, and the two of them raised their glasses and drank them all at the same time.
"But," Zhou Zheng changed his words, "do you owe me an explanation?" You can't let me be confused and keep it in the dark, right? ”
"I know you're going to ask that, and we're not going to hide it from you!" Murong Huang poured another glass of wine and drank it all, "I'll say first, if you have any doubts, just ask, I will answer truthfully!" ”
Seeing that Zhou Zheng nodded in agreement, Murong Huang began to fall into memories.
"The cause of this incident can be traced back to three hundred years ago, when Lin used the illusion to confuse everyone and forced Qingji, who was in charge of the demon clan, to step down, and he was elected as the new acting demon king.
Later, Lin Shi turned Kunlun Void One into three, and turned it into a form of separation between the three demon kings, so that many people who originally supported Lin Shi slowly came to their senses and knew that they had been deceived.
These people gathered together to denounce Lin Shi, and ran in all directions to call on everyone to vote again, invite Qingji back, and unify the demon clan of Kunlun Xu!
However, at this time, Lin Shi has a large group of followers under his command, and his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, all the important departments of the Qilin clan were under his control, and most of the clan elders, officials, and the army were all under his orders. So, these people didn't make too many waves.
Later, the voices of these people became smaller and smaller, although there are still a very small number of people who still insist on fighting against Linshi, but most of them have chosen to go with the flow and be at the mercy of Linshi.
Later, the very small number of people who remained saw that the confrontation was hopeless and powerless to return to the sky, they also chose to remain silent, and just wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, living a life without quarrel with the world and not asking about political affairs.
However, Lin Shi has never intended to let these people go. After he completely sat on the throne of the demon king, he began to send people to concoct evidence of the collusion between these people and the demons, and he was wronged. In less than a year, he will cut off the heads of those who oppose him, and those who go to prison! Most of these people's family members and relatives have also been exiled or confiscated into the army, and their lives are miserable!
Among these exiled and conscripted descendants, there are a small number of people who are not willing to sink, they hide their sufferings in their hearts, bury their heads in hard work, and be down-to-earth people! Through decades of hard work, they have emerged in their respective fields and made many miraculous achievements!
Especially in the army, although these descendants are influenced by their ancestors, they do not have the opportunity to be high-ranking officials, and the largest official is only a centurion. However, they fought bravely, treated their fellow soldiers like brothers and sisters, and were fair and honest in their duties, and had a great reputation in the army. Many generals and officials spoke for them, and they were unhappy that they were not rewarded for their merits and deeds, and they were not treated fairly!
In order to block the mouth of Youyou, and in order to win over this force, more than ten years ago, Lin Shi ordered that all the descendants of these criminal ministers who had made meritorious contributions be pardoned, and the officials were recalled to live in Jiaxiang City.
However, Lin Shi was too suspicious and afraid that these people would oppose him behind their backs like their ancestors. Therefore, on the surface, he often gives these people good food and wine to show his affinity, but in fact, he has ma in his meals
xi
gduyao。 Within a few years, these people died one after another.
And most of their new generation of children and grandchildren don't remember the hatred of the year, and they don't know the cause of their father's death. ”
