Chapter 46: King Jing's Mansion
Previously, Ning Quan hadn't looked at such a back.
He thought that this was just an ordinary secret book, but after reading most of the evil methods in front of him, he had no interest in cultivating at all, so naturally he didn't look down again.
But now, in order to find a means related to revenge, I turned to the back for the first time, only to find that the farther back the book, the more pages were missing, and even a dozen pages were forcibly dragged down, leaving the upper half or the bottom half, and I couldn't see what the complete content was written at all.
"Do you think you're the only one who has gotten this thing in the past few hundred years?" Sword Spirit said speechlessly.
"Once this thing is discovered, it is a treasure that is fought for by all parties, and tearing is indispensable in the competition, even if the material of this thing is good, it can't hold it, and it's good if it's not broken, and there are some people who get this thing, they know that they can't keep it, so they simply tear off the part they need, and then throw it to others.
Speaking of this, the sword spirit paused, looked at him for a while, and smiled.
"You didn't find what you were looking for."
"Tell me, you must know the whereabouts of the other pages, and what the conditions are."
Ning Quan asked without raising his head while inspecting the rest of the part.
Just listening to this tone, he didn't have to guess to know that this sword spirit must know the whereabouts of some pages.
"Investigate the little girl's house, and I'll tell you the location of some of the pages."
"Part of it?"
Ning Quan raised his head and looked at the sword spirit who was about to leave.
Hearing his question, Sword Spirit also turned around and said angrily, "Do you think I can know the whereabouts of all the pages?" I'm just a sword that kills. ”
"Okay."
Ning Quan could only admit it.
After flipping through the rest of the secret book, he was sure that he didn't see the slightest word related to the resurrection, either Yanyue Ancestor didn't write it at all, or someone had torn it up.
In this way, collecting the torn pages became his immediate goal.
Little girl, is it her family's business?
Ning Quan glanced at the direction in which the sword spirit left, closed his eyes and began to walk in the world again in the form of an evil thought phantom, where to check this matter, he already had an eyebrow, and the location was in the city, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to reach it in the form of an evil thought phantom.
Even, as long as he can be directly at the destination, condense the body of evil thoughts.
Of course, that would be a bit too arrogant.
After all, what he was going to was the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
In the form of a phantom, Ning Quan appeared directly in the courtyard of the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division, not worried that he would be discovered by others at all, in this form, as long as he deliberately hid it, even the sword spirit might not be able to discover him, and it was even more impossible for anyone in the Demon Suppression Division to discover him.
After walking down the corridor for a while, he came to the case vault of the Demon Suppressor Division.
There are not many people here, after all, there are not many monks who are willing to do things for the imperial court, except for some casual cultivators who have to come for cultivation, the rest are disciples sent by various sects to practice in accordance with the rules, and it is common for people to be short of manpower.
"Jingzhou..."
Ning Quan looked at the place names marked on the bookshelf and walked inside.
After promising to help with the investigation, he had already begun to understand the relevant situation, judging from what he knew, being destroyed was related to the imperial court, and there were not many such people, and after narrowing it down to the surname Zhao, which was the same name as the emperor of the current dynasty, the target was even smaller.
The relatives of the emperor who were destroyed...
It seems that there is only King Jing, and the fief is located in Jingzhou, one of the twelve states of the Great Yan Dynasty.
His footsteps stopped at a row of bookshelves marked with the word Jingzhou, turned and walked in, scanning the shelves full of files.
In his current phantom form, he couldn't touch anything at all.
But after being able to control evil thoughts, this deficiency is compensated.
Ning Quan manipulated his evil thoughts, turned into a cloud of black mist, opened and closed the files on the shelf, and finally found the file about King Jing when he opened the three hundred and sixty-first one.
[Jing Wang Ke, played several times, bluntly said that the power is in control of the government...]
The dossier in this demon division did not leave any face for the court, and it was directly written that the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, hiding in the deep palace and ignoring the government and politics, and only caring about singing songs night and night, and the prime minister has been in charge of the government for more than ten years.
The prime minister was so unscrupulous that he drove the eagle dog, which belonged directly to the emperor, to destroy the emperor's siblings, that is, King Jing, and the reason given was that King Jing planned to rebel, but the reason was only a few twists and turns for King Jing to impeach him.
The Demon Suppressor didn't have much to say about it, but after it was marked that there was no intervention from the monks, it disappeared.
As for the situation of everyone in King Jing's mansion, there is a list next to it, some are missing, some are confirmed dead, and the name of the little girl is impressively on it, and a missing note is also written.
Although he had already guessed, after really seeing it, Ning Quan couldn't help but sigh.
A victim of a power struggle...
However, it was also simpler than he thought.
Originally, he thought that King Jing might have colluded with the evil cultivators, or provoked some extremely vicious evil cultivators, but now it seems that it is really just a simple power struggle.
But in this way, it is also the most troublesome.
Because, mortals' affairs are in the hands of mortals, and after staying in the Demon Suppression Division for these days, he has also figured out some basic monk common sense, as long as he doesn't have anything to do with mortals, even if he cultivates evil laws, the Demon Suppression Division will not care.
But judging from the current situation, it is difficult to say that the little girl will not be accused of killing mortals.
And what made him even more troubled was how to tell the sword spirit what he had found.
In the house, Ning Quan opened his eyes and looked at the little girl in the courtyard who was wielding an iron sword through the open window on the side.
How to say that?
He got up and walked out of the room, and the little girl stopped swinging her sword and turned her head to look at him.
"Senpai?"
"There's something I want to tell you, and it's about the sword in your hand." Ning Quan said as he pondered his words.
The sword spirit was also beside the little girl, manifesting her figure, frowning and looking at him.
"Your father is King Jing, right? He wanted to impeach the prime minister, but he was framed by the prime minister for rebellion, and he was also killed by the prime minister, and he is dead. After Ning Quan finished speaking, he looked at the little girl.
I expected to see her burst into tears, but I only saw her silently clenching her fists.
"I know, I saw it," the little girl whispered, and then looked up at him with some hope.
"What about my sister?"
Ning Quan remembered that he had seen on the list that the little girl's relatives, in addition to King Jing and his wife, also had an older sister and two younger brothers, which should be regarded as a very beautiful family.
As for why the little girl didn't ask the two younger brothers, probably because the little girl saw it with her own eyes.
Because on the list, it is written that King Jing's two young sons were killed during the raid that night, and the remaining sister...
"Dead too."
