In the Daming Palace.
Except for Emperor Mingwu, there was no one there.
But after Emperor Mingwu's voice fell, an old eunuch slowly walked out of the darkness.
The old eunuch has white hair but a ruddy face.
He was holding a fly whisk in his hand. He obviously didn't feel sick, but he walked slowly and even coughed after taking a few steps.
He is the oldest eunuch in the palace, Cao Dachun, whose cultivation is unfathomable.
"Your Majesty, I think the eldest princess's proposal is very good." Cao Dachun spoke slowly, as if speaking faster would make him exhausted.
"You pure idiot, you probably want me to kill your own daughter." Emperor Mingwu said weakly.
"Your Majesty, I feel that although the eldest princess's ideas are a bit naive, she can really stir up the situation and see what King Yongshan and King Anshan are thinking."
"As for whether to take action, we have to wait until Concubine Rong gives birth to a dragon seed."
When Emperor Mingwu heard this, his eyes flickered, and he stood up slowly and said, "Accompany me to the Golden Platform."
Cao Dachun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "He may not be willing to see His Majesty!"
"See you or not, I have to go there."
"Then I will accompany your Majesty."
…
Wu'anhou Mansion.
The house is brightly lit.
In the main hall, there is a middle-aged man wearing a dark brown robe, with a face like a jade, and a beard. He looks about fifty years old, giving people a very sinister feeling.
He held the tea cup and stared outside the hall, drinking one cup after another.
This person is Wu'an Hou Kou Shize.
Half an hour ago.
Kou Shize received news that Concubine Qi was pregnant.
This news left him sleepless.
"Pregnant?"
Kou Shize really couldn't understand. Emperor Mingwu was very weak, especially regarding childbirth. The trauma left during the Battle of Yunlu, how could Concubine Qi still be pregnant?
He had some doubts about whether Emperor Mingwu was really ill or was it a fake illness?
"Master Hou!"
At this moment, a haggard lady, surrounded by maids, came to Kou Shize with a piece of clothing and put it on Kou Shize.
Kou Shize raised his arm, waved it, and suddenly asked: "Has the Lu family been destroyed?"
When mentioning this matter, the noble lady gritted her teeth and said: "Master Marquis, we have found the person, and we will take action again tonight."
Kou Shize was slightly stunned: "Did that person miss last time?"
The noble lady shook her head: "You won't see people when you are alive, and you won't see corpses when you die."
Kou Shize's eyes flashed and he said: "If the people tonight are still alive and dead, and their bodies are not found, then don't touch the Lu family for now. They are a bunch of untouchables and it is not worthy of me to take action now."
"But……!"
"No, it's just a matter of time before we destroy a family of untouchables."
"Master Hou, is Qi'er still in the prison?"
"Hmph! Don't even think about this. That idiot almost killed me...!" Just as he was speaking, Kou Shize's eyes sank and he said, "Where's Wei'er? Why didn't you see him tonight?"
"It's in Xianlefang." The lady said hurriedly.
"You didn't let him go, right?" Kou Shize's eyes narrowed.
"Master Marquis, how could it be? He is our own son." the noble lady said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Kou Shize breathed a sigh of relief.
…
It's quiet at night.
Pingyang Street.
Two figures, one after the other, quickly landed on the street and headed towards a yard.
On the roof of a restaurant, a young man wearing black armor sat handsomely, holding a sword on his back and looking at two black figures on the street.
The young man in black armor is Zhongli.
But the stubble on his face was cleanly shaved, turning him into a white-faced young man.
I went to Xianlefang tonight and was recognized by Mo Luo.
Only then did Zhongli find out that Lu Ning's family lived here, so he immediately agreed to the request and came to protect them.
I saw two men in black falling into the yard.
He stood up with a sneer and disappeared.
Um?
The two men in black who fell into the yard suddenly discovered that there was one more person in the yard, a young man in black armor carrying a sword on his back.
I vaguely feel that this outfit is very familiar, I have seen it somewhere.
But before the two of them had time to react, Zhongli took action.
call out!
With a flick of his finger, two sword energy shot towards the two of them.
The man in black at the back immediately grabbed the man in black in front and blocked him in front of him.
Only two puffs were heard.
A ray of sword energy pierced the throat of the man in black, and a ray of sword energy pierced the chest.
The man in black in front died on the spot.
The man in black behind him was also struck by the sword energy. With a scream, he jumped up and flew hundreds of meters across the night sky. He disappeared after a few ups and downs.
Zhongli frowned, then quickly chased after him.
As soon as they left, a white shadow appeared in the yard. After looking at the dead man in black on the ground, he quietly left.
As for Zhongli, he chased several neighbors but failed to catch up with the man in black.
He didn't hide until he bumped into a patrolman from the Demon Suppression Division.
"who?"
The people from the Suppressing Demon Division shouted loudly and jumped into the air one after another, landing on the roof and looking around.
I saw a figure fleeing into the distance, and someone shouted: "Chase."
After the three demon-suppressing people left.
In the dark street, Zhongli walked out slowly.
He frowned slightly and quickly returned to Lu Ning's yard.
After disposing of the body of the man in black.
He was on Pingyang Street and waited until dawn before leaving.
…
Wu'anhou Mansion.
Mrs. Kou waited until dawn, but did not wait for the person she sent to return. She waited for her son to return.
A handsome young man in blue brocade, with a dandy look on his face and a white gauze wrapped around his neck, walked into the main hall angrily.
This person is Kou Wei.
"Will, what's wrong with your neck?"
Mrs. Kou was surprised and quickly grabbed her son and asked concernedly.
Covey took a deep breath, sat on the chair, and drank from the tea cup.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, there is someone protecting the Lu family. They must be people sent by the eldest princess. They almost killed my son."
"If you want to tell me, it's better not to take action in the near future. The matter of revenge can be slow down for now."
"Shhhh!"
Mrs. Kou quickly hissed, fearing that Marquis Wu An might hear it.
"Shhhhhhh?"
Marquis Wu'an didn't sleep all night, and he didn't feel sleepy this morning. He just went to have something to eat when he came back and heard what the two women said.
Striding into the hall, Kou Shize said with a cold eyebrow, "Then the Lu family are just a few untouchables. Don't let them be implicated. Once they are out of the limelight, won't it be easy to destroy them?"
"Weier, Qi Yuansheng from the Qi family in Qiu Shan has come to Beijing and Zhou. He is in the palace. You should go look for him more and build a good relationship with him."
Hearing this, Kou Wei looked unhappy and said, "Dad, he's a scholar and it makes me tired to look at him."
Kou Shize scolded: "You have to go if you have trouble, don't you know who his sister is?"
Kou Wei curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't she just a noble concubine? There are many noble concubines in the palace."
Snapped!
Kou Shize slapped his son on the forehead and said, "What if Concubine Qi is pregnant?"
"Pregnant?"
Kou Wei covered his head with a look of shock, and then said with a wonderful expression: "If the young prince Yongshan knew that Concubine Qi was pregnant, his expression would be even more wonderful than mine."
Kou Shize snorted coldly: "Go and change your clothes quickly and enter the palace with dad."
…
Heavenly prison.
Lu Ning sat in the small room and read a note, which was sent by someone from Mo Luo.
Tell him that someone did attack him at home last night and was killed by Zhongli.
"Brother Zhong, please?"
Lu Ning's eyes brightened slightly. After reading it, he burned the note and murmured in a cold voice: "Marquis Wu An, just wait, I will send you to the sky prison sooner or later."
With a cold snort, he stood up and ordered a meal.
The work has just been assigned.
The people from the Demon Suppression Division took a prisoner to the prison.
Lu Ning and others looked over.
I saw that the prisoner was the escaped rebel king Peng Hu.
The people from the Demon Suppression Division directly pushed the prisoner into the torture chamber.
After the prisoner was picked up, a demon-suppressing young man stopped Lu Ning: "Liu Xiaowei, this person is interrogating, interrogating him fiercely, not only to interrogate Yuan Wu, Taoist Killer, and Demon Monk Bamu, but also to interrogate him." The mastermind behind it.”
Lu Ning nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, leave it to us."
The people from the Demon Suppression Division didn't say anything more and left directly.
Lu Ning ordered Niu Dazhuang and others to interrogate King Peng Hu severely.
He sat and watched.
It has to be said that King Peng Hu, who was in the late sixth stage of concentration, was an iron-clad man, as tough as Wen Tingwu.
He was beaten with an iron whip, leaving streaks of blood on his body.
The barbs pulled out the flesh, but he didn't make a sound.
When the soldering iron burns his belly, it only makes a sucking sound.
Lu Ning frowned slightly, continuing the interrogation like this was not an option.
It may not be possible to get the results within ten days and a half.
He immediately stood up and whispered several times into Niu Dazhuang's ear.
Niu Dazhuang glanced at Lu Ning doubtfully, then nodded and left.
About half an hour.
Niu Dazhuang walked into the execution room carrying something.
When everyone looked over his shoulder, they couldn't help but be stunned.
