There is nothing unusual about the sixth level of edicts.

Because it looks like a serious prison, it's somewhat similar to the black prison of the Thousand Households.

A long corridor with cells on either side and vents on top.

There were vines, like plants, hanging from the vents, crawling all over the walls of the cells.

As the three old men said, the seventh floor was empty, and there was no one in the house.

Xu Chong stayed on this floor for fifteen days.

Fifteen days, 15 points of spiritual source!

"It's three years."

"In three years, it is more than a thousand spiritual sources."

"It's not enough......"

"Not to mention immortality, according to the fact that the Yin God will require 50 points of spirit source as soon as it changes, I am afraid that more than a thousand spirit sources will not even be able to reach the nine changes of the Yang God."

"And even if you can reach the Nine Transformations of the Yang God, what is it enough for?"

Xu Chong got up and walked towards the end of the road without hesitation.

There, there is the entrance to the seventh floor.

It may be because he has been in the sixth layer long enough, so this time, Xu Chong did not have any gaffes and was in the seventh layer.

The hellish scene suddenly comes into view!

Over an area of about 100 square meters, fiery red magma flowed slowly, and four rocks with cages floated on it.

Hot, dry, oppressive.

In just a few moments, Xu Chong was sweating.

And it was in this hellish environment that an impassioned voice came out.

"The little hellfire shines."

"On the blazing red magma."

"The fire consumes all the things of the earth."

"Only I, Lin is laughing rampantly."

Xu Chong's heart tightened, and he looked vigilantly at the place where the voice came from.

In one of the cages, a man with a mantle and a disheveled man's face and age could not be seen clearly.

The man turned his back to this side, looking at the magma outside the cage, chanting loudly and contentedly.

Not surprisingly, this man who calls himself 'Lin' is the most dangerous person in the world in Dou Zi's mouth.

"Well, good poetry, good poetry, you have to write it down!"

The man smashed his mouth in satisfaction, and turned to look for stones.

When he turned around, he saw Xu Chong standing on top of the magma at the mouth of the vortex.

The eyes are facing each other.

After a short silence, the man said in a deep voice, "Is Emperor Qing finally impatient?" ”

Xu Chong ignored it, but while remaining vigilant, his gaze wandered, looking for the food that existed in the seventh layer.

He didn't make extra preparations for going to prison this time, and after coming in for so many days, he also relied on the food in the prison to survive until now.

For example, fruits, vegetables, fish and shrimp in the first layer, plant roots and stems in the fourth layer, aquatic plants in the fifth layer, and vines in the sixth layer.

Without them, he would have starved to death in it.

Words on the seventh floor......

I don't think so.

Xu Chong frowned.

"You're not here to kill me?"

The man smiled, "Let's go, I've said everything I know." ”

Xu Chong ignored it and stepped on the magma to the nearest cage.

The seventh layer still had no restrictions on him, and with a slight push, the gate of the cage opened.

However, the slippery and soft feel of the feedback made Xu Chong's heart move slightly and get closer.

It turned out that on the railing of the cage, a thin layer of black plants was attached, which should be some kind of moss.

Not only railings, but also walls and floors.

Obviously, this is the only source of water for the seventh level of the edict.

Xu Chong tore off a piece and put it in his mouth.

As soon as I took my mouth, a violent bitterness erupted on the tip of my tongue.

In just an instant, the whole face began to tingle.

"Hehe, fire moss is poisonous, but it won't be lethal, you want to impress me with this self-inflicted cruelty, it's a little too naïve."

The man smiled disdainfully and said, "I, Lin Mad, have been arrested for more than 20 years, what methods have you not used against me?" ”

Xu Chong ignored it, walked into the cell by himself, and closed the door with his hand.

"Yo, self-imprisoned here?"

Lin Mad continued, "Are you going to rely on time to pull a relationship with me and talk to me?" ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you that this trick has also been used."

"It's just that the most ruthless one stayed here for a month and then ran away."

I don't know if it's dangerous or not, but it's a lot to talk about.

Xu Chong was silent, first cleaned out the fire moss on the stone bed, piled them on the side of the bed, and then sat down on his own.

When the numbness on his face subsided slightly, he picked up a piece of fire moss and put it in his mouth.

It's okay to be bitter, it's mainly this astringency, and the strength is really big.

He suspected that if he ate two or three taels in a row, he would be able to anesthetize himself.

"Seeing that you are young, why don't you listen to persuasion."

Lin Mad shook his head, didn't say more, looked for the stones and wrote and drew on the ground.

The floor of his cell has long since been devoid of any fire moss.

It is densely covered with small characters, all of which have been altered and covered, and they are messy.

After a while, Lin Mad finished writing and returned to the stone bed to lie down.

If Xu Chong takes a closer look, he will find that next to the lame poem written by Lin Yanxin, there are four vigorous big characters

- Worship of the gods.

"It's a pity that there is only more than a year left."

Lin Mad looked at the top of the cell with a stunned expression, "I shouldn't have a chance to see it." ”

……

……

On this day, Lou Youzhi returned to the court.

The people praised each other and greeted each other.

The petals and the red carpet spread out for more than ten miles.

After all, there are also people in the capital who have survived natural disasters and then turned over and changed their lives.

Under the rendering of these people, the imperial court disaster relief has become an extremely sacred thing.

Even with respect for the relief envoys, they are full of respect.

Naturally, such a ceremony was formed to welcome the relief envoys back to Beijing.

It's just that this time it seems to be a little different.

Why are those officers and soldiers listless one by one, and some are even dodging and fearing?

Other than that...... When you leave the capital, there should be more than just such a few people, right?

With doubts, the people watched Shoufu enter the palace to face the saint.

Half a day later, the doubt was explained.

The people of Yongzhou took refuge in Taiping Road, and were led by the first auxiliary building and all of them were killed!

Disaster relief, turned into banditry!

For a time, the city's welcome turned into a city's scolding.

"The whole of Yongzhou has taken refuge in the thieves? How is this possible?! ”

"I see, this is a lie made up by the traitor!"

"Lies? That... Are the people of Yongzhou still alive? ”

"Alive? How could it be alive! ”

"You forgot, if it's really a bandit, then the disaster relief food is useless, where is it?"

"-Shhh You mean, the traitor swallowed it privately? ”

"It's just a matter of embezzling, I'm afraid that the traitorous minister will be charged with rebellion in Yongzhou in order to sit down...... They were all killed! ”

"Executioner! Executioner!! ”

"My ancestral home is in Yongzhou, and there are still my clan relatives in Yongzhou...... Traitors deserve to die! ”

“……”

Maybe someone is secretly guiding, or maybe not.

Lou Youzhi's official reputation among the people was destroyed in just half a day.

At first, people were just speculating and talking about it in private.

Even those who dare to shout around are only replaced by the word traitor.

Until a new piece of news spreads.

'The former left capital Yushi Jiang Zhihong, the culprit of the Yongzhou rebellion, was arrested by the first auxiliary building in Yongzhou and executed on the spot'.

In this regard, the first reaction of the people was impossible.

After all, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and things in the court will occasionally be circulated.

And Jiang Zhihong, the iron head of officialdom, naturally frequently occupies the C position.

After a long time, in the eyes of everyone, Jiang Zhihong is the best official in Daqing.

upright, jealous and hateful.

No matter how big an official is, if he has any violations of law and discipline, he will always be involved in the past and be unambiguous.

How could such a person betray the imperial court, and betray the entire Yongzhou with him?

Thinking on your toes, it's impossible.

As a result, the private grievances of the people have become the public anger on the surface.

The people called for friends and friends, and loudly denounced those who should be the head of the court, saying that their lust for profit was congenial and their crimes were monstrous.

Even the word traitor was directly replaced by a traitor and a traitor.

The face lasted for several days, and there was no sign of subsiding.

The backyard of the Bloody Guard.

Lou Youzhi and Dou Tianyuan stood side by side by the pond.

"Your Majesty is really ruthless."

Dou Tianyuan's tone was a little disheartened, "First borrowed your hand to slaughter millions, and then borrowed my hand to get rid of the Anguo Gong clan, and now I want to use the hands of the people to deal with you...... One ring after another, one move after another, hehe. ”

"I already expected it when I was in Yongzhou."

Lou Youzhi said lightly.

"Then have you thought about what Your Majesty will do next?"

Dou Tianyuan asked seriously.

"I won't do it."

The building has a knowing face and does not change color.

"Don't lie to me."

Dou Tianyuan's face was solemn, "If your speculation is correct, Ji Qingzhi has a close relationship with His Majesty, then he can come up with evidence anytime and anywhere and beat you as a thief." ”

"It's because he can dispose of me at any time that he won't do anything."

Lou Youzhi explained, "Unless there is a new candidate for the first assistant. ”

"A new first assistant?"

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "There are six other people in the cabinet besides you, and they can take your place anytime and anywhere, right?" ”

"The first assistant of the cabinet and the commander-in-chief of the Bloody Guard, these two positions must be filled by people with simple backgrounds, this is a rule that was set a long time ago."

Lou Youzhi glanced at Dou Tianyuan, "You can go and look through the history books to see if there is any person from the family who sits in these two positions." ”

"The background is simple...... I understand. ”

Dou Tianyuan is not a fool, and he quickly understood it once he was reminded.

The Daqing Dynasty lasted for thousands of years, and the power of the court was intricate.

It can almost be said that the relatives and the family have been completely blended together.

Families that are a little more on the table have daughters who marry the royal family, or marry princesses of the royal family.

Today's cabinet elders, six books, except for Lou Youzhi, all have this background.

If the royal family is compared to a landlord, a hundred officials of the court, and a big family, it is the tenant of the landlord's family.

The cabinet was the steward of the tenants, and the Bloody Guards were the guardians of the landlords.

No matter how powerful the landlord is, there is still a risk that the housekeeper and the nursing home will collude with the tenants and snatch profits from the landlord.

If you want to beware of this, either the landlord can work hard, or you should use people with as clean backgrounds as possible and have little to do with the tenants to lead the housekeepers and nurses.

"As long as he wants to continue to ignore the government, he will not be in a hurry to do anything to me."

Lou Youzhi continued, "At least ten years, after ten years, there will be someone suitable to replace me." ”

"Ten years...... Are you referring to Xu Chong's classmate? ”

Dou Tianyuan raised his eyebrows.

"At present, he is the greatest possibility, and the rest of the talents, qualifications, are not as good as him."

As he spoke, Lou Youzhi's gaze was slightly awe-inspiring, "A small canglong can appear at the same time as the first assistant talent and the Taizu legacy, and the entire Yongzhou ......"

"It's already happened, and it's only right to find out as soon as possible."

Dou Tianyuan's face was pale, "Do you have any clue now?" ”

"Magical powers."

Lou Youzhi slowly spit out two words.

"Magical powers?!"

Dou Tianyuan was shocked, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"I can't think of any other way to bewitch millions of people at once, for seven days."

Lou Youzhi's eyes narrowed, remembering his terrible guess.

Did Your Majesty bewitch the Taiping Dao Lord, or did the Taiping Dao Lord bewitch Your Majesty?

"Magical ......"

Dou Tianyuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "There are only a few words on the side of the Bloody Guard, and there is nothing valuable. ”

"Wenyuan Pavilion and Guozijian are also not."

Lou Youzhi said bluntly, "If you want to find out the origin of this magical power, you still have to start from the root." ”

"You mean...... Taiping Road? ”

Dou Tianyuan's eyes lit up, "The six major families have a long heritage, and it is very likely that there are relevant records...... I went to Huajia once when Xu Chong Huang Ting was planting, and now I can go at any time. ”

"IMHO."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "I'm afraid the Hua family doesn't have it." ”

"How?"

Dou Tianyuan was stunned.

"Although Wenyuan Pavilion does not have a record of supernatural powers, there is a Taiping Dao."

Lou Youzhi explained, "The Hua family was known to the imperial court as one of the six major families, but it was three hundred years ago, and the background was not enough. ”

"Okay...... But it doesn't hurt to try. ”

Dou Tianyuan was slightly disappointed.

At this time, Dou Zi floated over and saluted the two: "Master, Lou Xiang." ”

"What's wrong?"

Dou Tianyuan was puzzled, and raised his hand to disperse the blockade.

Although he has the ability to break the sky with one hand, the conversation will not be listened to by anyone, and he never restricts Dou Zi from entering and leaving the backyard.

But under normal circumstances, Dou Zi would not bother at this time.

"Master, Qin Tian Prison Supervisor Du Qianchuan asks to see ......"

Dou Zi opened his mouth to explain, seemingly a little speechless, "I won't leave if I don't see you today." ”

It was the first time she had met someone so bold, she ran to the head office of the Bloody Guard, asked to see the first master by name, and said that she wouldn't leave if she couldn't see it.

It's like an old birthday star hanging, and he thinks it's a long life.

She didn't come here to ask for advice......

"Do you want me to beat him out? Or thrown into prison? Seriously, the apprentice hasn't been beaten up yet......"

"Nonsense."

Dou Tianyuan's face darkened, and he said, "Let him ...... in front."

"Bring him here."

Lou Youzhi suddenly interjected.

Dou Tianyuan was a little surprised, thought for a while, and nodded to Dou Zi.

"Yes."

Dou Zi took the order and left, his small mouth pursed slightly, which seemed to be a pity.

"So."

Dou Tianyuan looked at Lou Youzhi and said meaningfully: "You didn't come here to look for me, you were waiting for Du Qianchuan?" ”

"Yes."

Lou Youzhi nodded, "I didn't expect you to react until now." ”

“……”

Dou Tianyuan choked and said depressedly: "I still don't understand...... Even if he is willing to stand on our side because of An Guogong's granddaughter, how useful can a Du family be? ”

"Sometimes, it's too useful to just look at the background and the power."

Lou Youzhi explained paradoxically.

Soon, Dou Zi led Du Qianchuan into the backyard, and after a salute, he retreated on his own.

"Building ......"

Du Qianchuan's expression instantly turned cold, and he said as he walked: "It's just right, I will come to the door one by one." ”

This tone made Dou Tianyuan a little dazed, as if he saw Jiang Zhihong.

"Just ask."

Lou Youzhi said lightly.

"My father-in-law, Chen Kai, did he really collude with Taiping Dao?"

Du Qianchuan did not hesitate, and asked directly.

"Nope."

Lou Youzhi shook his head and vetoed this.

Du Qianchuan's face changed again and again, and his hands in his sleeve robe were clenched unconsciously.

If there is no collusion with the Taiping Dao, it means that it is wronged.

The main culprit is Ling Chi, and the nine clans have been cut off...... and his wife, who was killed by his own hands.

After a long time, Du Qianchuan took a deep breath and asked the second question tremblingly: "Jiang Zhihong, did you really collude with Taiping Dao?" ”

"Nope."

Lou Youzhi smiled and vetoed again.

Du Qianchuan stared at Lou Youzhi deadly, "So, you colluded with Taiping Dao?" ”

Obviously, if Chen Kai did not collude with Taiping Dao, and Jiang Zhihong did not collude with Taiping Dao, then the person who colluded with Taiping Dao naturally only had Lou Youzhi.

As it is rumored outside, millions of lives have been killed in order to embezzle millions of stone grains.

However, Lou Youzhi vetoed it for the third time: "No." ”

"Nor either?!"

Du Qianchuan roared angrily, "So, you mean that the Chen family, Jiang Zhihong, and the souls of the millions of refugees have nothing to do with you?!" ”

"Wrong."

Lou Youzhi looked at Du Qianchuan deeply, "These three are all related to me." ”

"You!"

Du Qianchuan was furious, feeling like a plaything being teased.

"If you want to know the truth and want to avenge your wife, go back."

Lou Youzhi was unmoved, and said lightly: "Go to Qin Tianjian to check the things that Jiang Zhihong asked you to check back then, remember them, and in a month, I will transfer you to the Ministry of Officials." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Qianchuan was shocked.

Back then, he and An Guogong's granddaughter were in love, but because their age and status did not match, they could only communicate secretly.

Jiang Zhihong used this incident as a threat and forced him to access the natural disaster records sealed in Qin Tianjian.

But this matter is not only extremely secretive, but Jiang Zhihong's character will never be revealed...... How can Lou Youzhi know?!

"Go ahead."

Lou Youzhi spoke again, "Remember, don't be discovered by anyone, just like back then...... Otherwise, I won't be able to save you. ”

“…… Good. ”

Du Qianchuan glanced at Lou Youzhi deeply, and didn't ask the other party why he went to the ministry by himself, so he turned around and left.

After he left, Dou Tianyuan spoke: "Jiang Zhihong asked him to check the actual record of the natural disaster, or Xu Chong told me...... How do you know? ”

"Because I have already checked it before Jiang Zhihong."

Lou Youzhi continued, "Back then, when I came back from the disaster relief in Bingzhou, Yuan Shouyi hadn't run to accompany the capital, and I infiltrated the Qintianjian alone. ”

“…… I see. ”

Dou Tianyuan thought about it and felt that this was normal.

After all, it was not Jiang Zhihong who really experienced the drought in Bingzhou, but Lou Youzhi.

Therefore, theoretically, Lou Youzhi is the first person who will be suspicious of natural disasters, and it is not incomprehensible to check natural disasters one step ahead of Jiang Zhihong.

But......

Dou Tianyuan frowned: "No, even if Yuan Shouyi is immersed in the pain of bereavement, and his soul is not kept, at that time, you can't sneak into Qin Tianjian, right?" ”

Lou Youzhi lightly spit out a few words: "Secret martial arts, greedy for light." ”

The figure disappeared in an instant, and continued to reappear in an instant.

Dou Tianyuan's jaw almost fell to the ground.

He knew that Qianhu Ge Wanshan created it himself.

Even he not only knew, but also saw Xu Chong with his own eyes.

But he never expected that Lou Youzhi would also practice this hand.

…… It's so hidden.

Well? Wait a minute!

Ge Wanshan?

Dou Tianyuan's brows furrowed even tighter: "It's still wrong, if I'm not mistaken, at that time, Ge Wanshan hadn't pushed his martial arts to the secret martial arts, right?" ”

"The martial arts were created by him, but the secret martial arts were trained by me first."

Lou Youzhi looked indifferent, "There is no background, no teacher, I can only rely on myself." ”

"I can't see that your understanding is so good......

Dou Tianyuan said, his expression solemn: "I can tell you all the tricks of folding the wind, picking stars, and breaking the sky with one hand, as long as you practice, at least you can save your life." ”

"It's useless."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "I have practiced the Wind Breaker for a long time, and so far it has only increased by one percent, and these martial arts are not suitable for me." ”

"Okay......"

Dou Tianyuan was disappointed for a while, and immediately looked at the pond.

Lou Youzhi also glanced at it and said, "With all due respect, before we die, he may not be able to practice to the highest level of breaking the sky with one hand." ”

"That's what I thought too."

Dou Tianyuan sighed, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you can practice to break the sky with one hand." ”

"I don't really understand this kind of feeling, I must see the mantle being passed on with my own eyes."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "Think about it, even something like supernatural powers, which has been lost for tens of thousands of years, can reappear one day, are you still afraid that future generations will not be able to practice a side technique for you?" ”

"Having said that, you have to see it with your own eyes to feel that you haven't lived this life in vain."

Dou Tianyuan smiled.

"Speaking of Xu Chong."

Lou Youzhi suddenly raised his eyebrows, "I think King Qianwang is a little strange to him. ”

"What's weird?"

Dou Tianyuan's heart tightened.

"Since Xu Chong's incident, King Qian has tampered with all of Xu Chong's case files...... You know, it's easy to tamper with a case file, but it's not so easy to tamper with a memory. ”

Lou Youzhi looked at Dou Tianyuan, "You got close to King Qian, he didn't tell you this?" ”

"Nope."

Dou Tianyuan's face was solemn, "Who did he tamper with?" ”

"The entire Canglong County, as well as some ...... in Zhanghua Mansion"

"People at this level don't have much effort, right? It's nothing more than a matter of time. ”

"I'm not done."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "As far as I know, there is also the Cheng Guogong family." ”

"This ......"

Dou Tianyuan finally realized that things were not simple.

Anything else is fine, but Chengguo Gong Duan is like a peak, and he is a celestial person in the Ning Infant Realm.

In this way, the consumption of the king is not a little bit.

"At the beginning, the identity and origin of Taizu's relics were well protected, and most people only knew the name Xu Chong."

Lou Youzhi said meaningfully, "And now, Yongzhou is dead, and the memory of Chengguogong's family has been tampered with, Xu Chong's past has become innocent, and he has not done anything bad." ”

"Why did the King do this?"

Dou Tianyuan was puzzled, "With the identity of Taizu's relics, what if Xu Chong does something bad?" ”

"I can't guess, I can only conclude a little ......"

Lou Youzhi looked at the smooth water surface like a mirror, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chong is more important than we imagined. ”
