"We don't understand, what should we say?"
Cao Dachun gritted his teeth and said, no longer speaking slowly.
"Can't understand?"
Lu Ning was not in a hurry and sneered: "I don't understand. I am leading people to the Propaganda Department and asking you to cooperate with the investigation. What are you afraid of? What are you running from?"
"We don't know what Mr. Qin Lu is doing." Cao Dachun was much calmer, clenching his fists and glaring at Lu Ning.
"It's no use glaring at me. Liu Jin and others have already been recruited. You have a lot of crimes, so what are you pretending to do?" Lu Ning stared at Cao Dachun playfully.
"Hmph! That little bastard Liu Jin has only been in the Chengxuan Department for a long time. What does he know? He must be talking nonsense because he is afraid of death."
"Master Lu, you are so wise and powerful, you will never believe the words of a little bastard, right?"
Cao Dachun narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Haha, I believe you, you old bastard, but you didn't tell me the key." Lu Ning sneered.
"It's not that we don't talk, it's just that we really don't understand." Cao Dachun's bloodshot eyes were firm.
A coldness flashed in Lu Ning's eyes: "You are two hundred and eighty-nine years old this year, right?"
Cao Dachun's old eyes narrowed slightly: "Yes, if we live for another eleven years, our family will have passed the threshold of three hundred years old."
Lu Ning nodded secretly: "To be honest, you do have a chance. But if I give you a chance, if you don't tell me, you will only be 289 years old, you idiot."
Cao Dachun gritted his teeth and said, "What does Mr. Lu want to know? Why don't you ask our family!?"
"You only have one chance. You have to think carefully. When I ask, you have to answer."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't answer. If the officer says you did it, then that's what you did."
Lu Ning stared at Cao Dachun with a playful expression and a sneer.
"you……!"
Cao Dachun gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Our family found that you are even worse than Qin Zhong, shameless, despicable, arrogant, arrogant, ignorant of imperial power and laws, arrogant and domineering...!"
At this moment, he was running out of words to describe Lu Ning's arrogance.
"Let's start. In the first year of Mingwu, in August, where did you go?"
Lu Ning sneered and didn't bother to talk nonsense to Cao Dachun.
The young master uncle of Baiyun Taoist Temple, the Scorpio Demon who was interrogated by a first-level immortal, could never go wrong.
In the palace, who is more qualified than Cao Dachun? Even if it is not the Scorpion Demon that Cao Dachun is looking for, the blood poison of the Scorpion will eventually end up in Cao Dachun's hands.
The Master of Baiyun Temple and the Empress also believed that it was Cao Dachun, so Lu Ning only needed to figure out a result and give an explanation to the Empress.
Sure enough, Cao Dachun thought about it and said, "Retreat."
"Have you ever had a black cat?"
"Yes, a mouse catcher."
"Have you ever been to the Western Regions after seclusion?"
"No."
"Then where did the Purple Bodhi obtained from the Western Regions in the palace come from?"
Hearing this, Cao Dachun was stunned. His mind couldn't be turned around for a while. He thought about it for three seconds before saying: "During the Chinese New Year, the seeds from the Western Regions were tribute to our family. They are specially planted for His Majesty Mingwu."
Lu Ning nodded secretly: "Have you eaten it?"
Cao Dachun said coldly: "We just said that the royal fruit was specially grown for His Majesty Mingwu. How could our family eat it secretly without His Majesty's permission?"
Lu Ning nodded: "So, you grew cherries and purple bodhi yourself, but you have never tasted them?"
"No!" Cao Dachun shook his head firmly.
Lu Ning laughed loudly and turned to look at Gu Wushuang and others for fun: "Do you believe it?"
"Only a ghost can believe it."
Gu Wushuang sneered and said: "There are many cherries growing on a cherry tree. If you eat one, will your majesty know? Will he blame you for this?"
"Obviously not. There must be a reason why you don't eat."
Lu Ning sneered and stared at Cao Dachun: "Did you hear that? There must be a reason why you don't eat it, because those cherries are poisonous."
Cao Dachun flashed his eyes coldly: "You are talking nonsense. It is poisonous. Will His Majesty Mingwu be fine if he eats it?"
Lu Ning said coldly: "Don't rush to defend yourself. The cherries you planted will be picked later. You will know if they are poisonous or not."
Hearing this, Cao Dachun's face suddenly turned dark.
"Don't be afraid, the cherries are not poisonous, let's continue!"
Lu Ning sneered and continued: "In the past ten years, you have raised pigeons. You said they were used to stew soup for Emperor Mingwu, but in fact they were used to send messages to people, such as Mr. Jinlin...!"
Cao Dachun's face flashed again, and he said coldly: "We don't know any Mr. Jinlin in our family."
"Don't rush to respond. Let me guess whether Mr. Jinlin is the descendant of a prince who lost in the previous dynasty's competition for the throne?"
"You, Cao Dachun, are the prince's confidant. You have been lurking in the palace all the time, just so that one day, the prince's descendants can gain the kingdom of Great Zhou."
"So in the past ten years, when you saw that the time was right, you kept sending messages to the descendants of that prince."
"Oh! That is Mr. Jinlin. He wears a mask and cultivates his own forces to rebel in Sangzhou, Yongzhou and other places. You, in the palace, are responsible for providing him with information and money."
"It also makes people mistakenly think that Young Master Jinlin is related to King Yongshan, right?"
After saying that, Lu Ning stared at Cao Dachun with a smile. In fact, all this was his guess, and he didn't know if it was correct or not.
In fact, Lu Ning had this idea very early on.
After all, Young Master Jin Lin has a very clear grasp of Emperor Ming Wu's situation. It must be the person serving around Emperor Ming Wu who sent the letter to Young Master Jin Lin.
If you want to say who is the most suspicious, it must be Cao Dachun.
After hearing this, Cao Dachun's eyes changed and he stared at Lu Ning: "You...!"
"You are talking nonsense, we don't know any golden-scaled master...!"
"okay!"
Lu Ning interrupted Cao Dachun and said coldly: "I just said it. It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. If I say you know him, you know him. I will follow the clue that you know Mr. Jinlin."
"you……!"
"What am I? I'm shameless? Haha, that officer is a thousand times more kind than you, a sinful old bastard."
Lu Ning sneered.
He does it for justice and fairness, so what if the means are despicable?
"Of course, I have no intention of investigating Mr. Jinlin now. It will be his turn to investigate the case of Prince Yong'an."
"Hmph! There is no case in this world that the Demon Suppressor Division cannot investigate or deal with."
"Others can't do it, but I, Lu Changan, can definitely do it."
confidence.
Really loud.
Not only Cao Dachun looked surprised, but Gu Wushuang and others also looked at Lu Ning in shock.
Lu Ning didn't pay attention to the surprised looks of everyone, and said coldly: "The sky net is vast, sparse and not leaking."
"No guilty person can escape the eyes of me, Lu Changan."
"arrogant!"
Cao Dachun was so angry that Lu Ning's arrogant look made him tremble.
"Master Lu, my subordinates also think that your eyes are very powerful and you can see things that my subordinates cannot see."
Not far away, the sound of flattery came.
Everyone turned to look, and it was Pei Tianbei who was walking quickly, carrying baskets of fresh red cherries in his hands.
Lu Ning frowned and said, "You haven't eaten, have you?"
He was worried that this fool would be disobedient and secretly eat one or two.
Pei Tianbei shook his head repeatedly: "I want to eat it, but I don't dare to eat it!"
Lu Ning nodded and said, "It's not for you to eat, it's for him to eat."
"Go ahead and let him eat it."
After saying that, Lu Ning stood up and looked at Baihu who was recording the confession and said:
"In August of the first year of Mingwu, Cao Dachun obtained the scorpion blood poison from the Eighteen Demons Scorpion Demon."
"Plant cherry trees and lime trees."
"In October, when Purple Bodhi matures, Cao Dachun offered tribute to Prince Yong'an. Prince Yong'an was poisoned after eating Purple Bodhi, and his symptoms were like feeling cold."
"More than a month later, Prince Yong'an passed away, and the murderer behind the scenes was the traitor Cao Dachun."
"Thus it is written."
"Yes, sir!" The hundred households nodded.
"No, it's not like that...!"
Cao Dachun roared and struggled on the shelf.
At this time, Pei Tianbei stepped forward, grabbed the cherries in the basket, had someone pry open Cao Dachun's mouth, and stuffed them inside.
"No, you can't eat it, you can't eat this... uh uh...!"
He slapped the cherry into Cao Dachun's mouth, and Pei Tianbei smashed it in with a stick.
Cao Dachun's mouth was bleeding and his teeth were all knocked out.
"Lu Chang'an, don't leave, our family will report Qin Zhong."
Cao Dachun's mouth was stuffed with cherries, and his spiritual consciousness sent a message to Lu Ning who was about to leave.
Today he has seen a lot.
Lu Ning is not only ruthless, but also has an incomparable brain. At such a young age, his methods are simply unbelievable.
The Demon Suppressing Division has never seen such a shameless and ruthless person.
It gives people a sense of going against the grain.
Lu Ning paused, looked back at Cao Dachun, and suddenly smiled and said: "You two are really interesting. If he reports on you, you should report on him. You are indeed an old gay friend."
Of course Cao Dachun didn't understand what the old gay friend meant. He stared with bloody eyes and roared: "Is it that thief Qin Zhong?"
"Otherwise, how could I be so confident to capture you?"
"Ahhh...!"
When Cao Dachun heard this, his heart was about to explode. He roared several times and cursed: "Qin Zhong, this thief, a treacherous villain, the Shaluo Kingdom donated the Shayue Night Flower to His Majesty Mingwu. He kept it himself to get the venom." ……wrong……!"
Suddenly, Cao Dachun stared at Lu Ning and said, "No, no, Qin Zhong can't possibly know that our family left the palace to exchange blood poison with the Scorpio Demon..."
As he said this, Cao Dachun's expression suddenly stiffened.
Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei and others also stared at Cao Dachun stupidly.
"Hey~ah!"
Cao Dachun gritted his teeth with a look of regret on his face.
Accidentally, Lu Ning was hit. He really wanted to slap himself to death!
"Everyone has heard it. In August of the first year of Mingwu, Cao Dachun left the palace and exchanged blood poison with the Scorpio Demon. This was admitted by him personally!"
"My lord, I heard everything."
Lu Ning sneered and said, "Continue the trial until the truth is revealed."
"If you don't tell me, give him a cherry."
As he said that, Lu Ning nodded and said, "Yeah! The cherries are delicious!"
After leaving the dark prison.
Lu Ning went to the archives alone. The archives contained detailed archives of officials above fifth rank in the Zhou Dynasty.
The files of Qin Zhong, Pei Tong, Zhen Guogong, Yan Guogong, Xu Kaishi, Han Li, Zhang Chong, Chen Hu and Ren Wujie were immediately checked.
Qin Zhong is a civil servant, and the remaining eight are all military officers, all of whom are in the late fourth grade or above.
Lu Ning read the Qin Zhong file first.
Qin Zhong is from Yunzhou, and his family is well-off when he is young.
He passed the examination in the third year of Xingwu. He was twenty-one years old at the time and was considered a great talent.
Jinshi at the age of twenty-seven began his official career by being promoted by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Regardless of his small official position, he was more arrogant than local officials when serving in Beijing and Zhou Dynasties.
It started brightly.
In the 32nd year of Xingwu, Qin Zhong had already climbed to the rank of left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and was not yet fifty years old.
Now the chief assistant of the cabinet, with a first-class official position, and the title of Marquis of Zhongyong, it can be said that he has an unparalleled reputation.
As for what Qin Zhong did, it is also recorded in detail in the files.
In the seventeenth year of Xingwu, in order to please Emperor Xingwu, a poll tax was levied.
Lu Ning was a little surprised when he saw the poll tax. He suspected that Qin Zhong was a time traveler, right?
In the previous Zhou Dynasty, children under the age of twelve were not required to pay taxes, and even during the Troubled Times, children's taxes were not collected.
But Qin Zhong proposed a poll tax, that is, even newborn babies would be taxed.
It is collected once a month, and within half a year, the tax revenue alone reaches the total tax revenue of previous years.
In addition, there is a livestock tax.
As the name suggests, you have to pay taxes even if you raise a cow. Because the cows are raised on the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, you have to pay taxes.
For this reason, a large amount of tax money was collected.
Anyway, after two or three years, Qin Zhong changed his ways to make Emperor Xingwu happy and exploited the people.
The common people complained and hated Qin Zhong, a treacherous villain.
But Emperor Xingwu was quite happy. The treasury was full and he could use his troops to conquer the Western Regions and the demon clan!
By the time of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Zhong still followed this routine.
In fact, Emperor Mingwu was quite disgusted, but every time the treasury was empty, the Ministry of War was short of money and food, and other civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you, but they were unwilling to contribute.
Qin Zhong is different. He contributes generously, personally pays for it, and takes out real money. All he has to do is shout that Qin Zhong is the one who truly shares His Majesty's worries, the real assistant minister, and you are just a bunch of idiots.
Therefore, the civil and military ministers were naturally mobilized, and even unwilling to lag behind, they contributed money and efforts.
When Emperor Mingwu saw it, Qin Zhong still had a way, so you can do it.
After Qin Zhong took hold of the power, he immediately ordered everyone in the world to pay for it in the name of national calamity. With imperial power in hand, who would dare not to pay?
If you don't pay, you are a traitor and you will be hanged immediately.
After collecting the real gold and silver, Qin Zhong kept what he took out, even a hundred times more, and then handed over the collected silver to Emperor Mingwu.
After solving the problem of empty treasury, Emperor Mingwu felt that even if he didn't like Qin Zhong very much, he still felt that keeping it would be of some use.
This is the reason why Qin Zhong can live until now.
In order to please the emperor, he dared to betray the people of the world.
Because he understands that as long as the emperor is happy, he will feel that Qin Zhong is of great use. No matter what others say, Qin Zhong will not die, but will live better.
Seeing this, Lu Ning was filled with emotion.
Qin Zhong, without any ability, would not be able to sit in the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
Although being a traitor is hateful, he still has some abilities.
At least they have a strong heart and know how to give up. The more they give up, the more they try to gain.
But now, the empress doesn't agree with him, so Qin Zhonglao wants to win over Lu Ning.
Lu Ning then looked back.
Qin Zhong can be said to have done all the evil things.
One of the most heinous things was to kill King Yue, the commander of the Great Three Army.
King Yue is also the grandfather of Yue Xiao. He is a very powerful king of the opposite sex who uses troops like a god. He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies when he attacks the Western Regions and the Monster Tribe.
But the character of King Yue was just like today's Zhang Juming, a man who was upright and could not get rid of the sand in his eyes.
He wanted to get rid of Qin Zhong for Emperor Xingwu and restore peace to the world.
But at that time, Qin Zhong was favored by Emperor Xingwu, and King Yue kept writing letters to him, saying how Qin Zhong was a traitor and oppressed the people, which was notorious.
Emperor Xingwu was a little unhappy after hearing this, but Emperor Xingwu didn't say anything about the king of the opposite sex whom his father had left for him.
But in my heart, I thought that the King of Yue was so arrogant that he might shock his master, so he naturally had a grudge against him.
Later, when the war broke out, Emperor Xingwu sent King Yue out to attack the countries in Beimang and the Western Regions.
King Yue was loyal to his country, and he didn't want to see Qin Zhong's treacherous face in the court, so he immediately organized his troops and set off for the war.
On the battlefield in the Western Regions, King Yue commanded the three armies and was sure to win every battle, making everyone in the Western Regions tremble with fear.
Start asking for help from Yaozu, Beimang, and Northern Barbarians.
Qin Zhong saw that if King Yue continued to fight like this, he would not only deplete the country's power, but also create enemies everywhere for the Zhou Dynasty.
He began to slander in front of Emperor Xingwu. First, he said that the treasury was struggling, then he said that King Yue was making enemies for the Zhou Dynasty everywhere, and finally he said that King Yue's great achievements shocked the emperor.
The matter of great achievements and shocking masters really came to the heart of Emperor Xingwu.
After all, the power of the three armies of the Zhou Dynasty was all in the hands of King Yue. Emperor Xingwu was indeed a little scared.
If the king of Yue has any intention of usurping, the kingdom of Zhou Dynasty will definitely change hands.
He wanted to divide the military power of King Yue, but he would not accept the order of the foreign king, so he had to recall King Yue first.
However, the Yao Tribe, Beimang Tribe, and Northern Barbarian Tribe all joined the battlefield.
A huge war is bound to usher in. How can we return to the DPRK at this time?
Since King Yue refuses to obey, he will definitely frighten the demon clan, the countries in the Western Regions, Beimang and the northern barbarians.
Three gold medals were sent to convey the decree, but King Yue showed no sign of being a disciple.
Emperor Xingwu was a little scared, and Qin Zhong was fanning the flames in his ears to kill King Yue.
Emperor Xingwu then asked the third prince, sixth prince, and ninth prince to lead the Demon Suppression Division of 10,000 people, the Forbidden Army of 3,000 people, and the city defenders of 30,000 people.
Each of them carried a gold medal edict, requiring King Yue to hand over his military power. Otherwise, King Yue would collude with the Western Region countries, the Yao clan, and Beimang to rebel.
Rebellious ministers and traitors should be given death in Yunlu Mountain.
Seeing that a huge battle was about to be fought, victory or defeat depended on it, handing over military power to three princes with little battlefield experience was simply a joke.
King Yue has not handed it over for a long time, but he is actually hesitating.
However, after three days, the third prince (Emperor Mingwu) issued the final golden edict with sharp words, asking King Yue to drink the imperial wine given by Emperor Xingwu to prove his loyalty.
King Yue still doesn't know, it's just a glass of poisonous wine.
I originally thought that because of my strong cultivation, I would not be afraid of poisonous wine.
Who knew poisonous wine was really poisonous!
When King Yue died, the Silver Armor Army led by King Yue's son Yue Wanyun was furious.
The third prince ordered that Yue Wanyun and the generals of the Silver Armor Army be killed in the name of rebellion and disrupting the morale of the army. He almost killed the generals of the Black Tiger Cavalry, the Flying Dragon Cavalry, and the Golden Sword Guard.
After all, the identities of the three generals, Black Tiger Cavalry, Golden Sword Guard, and Flying Dragon Cavalry, are not simple. How could the third prince be beheaded at the drop of a hat?
Therefore, Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, Black Tiger Cavalry Commander and others survived.
The third prince divided the Silver Armor Army into three parts, one part led by him, one part led by the sixth prince, and another part led by the ninth prince.
One month later, the grand battle came, the Battle of Yunlu.
In the end, the Battle of Yunlu was a great victory. Not only that, Beimang was also included in the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
However, it was at the expense of King Yue, and the Silver Armored Army failed to recover after the war.
But Qin Zhong was so happy that he became unscrupulous and began to pave the way for the chief minister of his cabinet.
After reading it, Lu Ning gritted his teeth angrily.
This Qin Zhong is really the other-world version of Qin Hui, and King Yue is the other-world version of Yue Fei.
A treacherous villain and a loyal man to his country.
The treacherous villain lives longer.
Loyalty will not last long for the country.
hateful! What a shame!
Close the file.
Lu Ning took a deep breath and began to look at the files of the next person, Pei Tong, the uncle of the country and the Minister of War.
Although Guojiuye was the minister of the Ministry of War during the same period as Emperor Mingwu, he was always unpopular when Emperor Mingwu was in power.
Don't know why.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning opened Pei Tong's file.
The son of Pei Ying, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Pei Tong, he was the champion of martial arts in the 25th year of Xingwu. He was only 19 years old. He was in the early stage of fifth grade cultivation. He was proficient in literary, Taoist and martial arts and was very popular with Emperor Xingwu.
In the 27th year of Xingwu's reign, he joined the Ministry of War. He started as the head of the Ministry of War, which was even more impressive than Qin Zhong's at the beginning.
On the Lantern Festival in the 28th year of Xingwu, he punched the third prince in the street.
"Third Prince?"
Lu Ning lowered his eyebrows. Isn't this Emperor Mingwu?
After taking a closer look, Lu Ning realized that Pei Tong was taking his sister Pei Wanxi to visit the lanterns.
Pei Wanxi is a young lady from a military general's family. Unlike the young lady from a civil servant's family, she can go shopping on weekdays. Not to mention the Lantern Festival, the city of Beijing and Zhouzhou is full of lanterns and bustling with activity.
Pei Wanxi not only has a good figure and good cultivation, but also has a beautiful appearance.
The third prince (Emperor Mingwu) also went to see the lanterns and fell in love with Pei Wanxi, who was lively and lovely at that time.
Stepping forward to strike up a conversation, the guards following the third prince didn't know what to do, which made Pei Wanxi very unhappy.
In addition, Pei Wanxi did not like the third prince at that time, so she was somewhat conflicted.
Pei Tong had just bought a lantern when he turned around and saw his sister being bullied by a group of people.
Since he was so angry, he hit him with his fists.
Pei Tong had never met the third prince at that time, and he only knew he was the third prince after fighting him.
In the end, Emperor Xingwu acted as a matchmaker, and Pei Wanxi became the third prince's concubine.
Pei Ying, the left minister of the Ministry of War, had no reason to be unhappy.
Pei Tong was quite happy, but every time he saw the third prince, they always looked at each other.
For this reason, Pei Tong was not liked by Emperor Mingwu, but when he looked at Pei Wanxi, she became Queen Yuanning.
Emperor Mingwu did not neglect Pei Tong. In addition, Pei Tong performed outstandingly in the Yunlu Battle. After Emperor Mingwu ascended the throne, he promoted Pei Tong to be the Minister of War, and also to be in charge of the Black Tiger Cavalry.
Until the death of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Pei Tong remained stable in the court and rarely participated in discussions about government affairs.
He lived a leisurely life of going to court and going to court every day. The Ministry of War took care of things and raised the next generation at home.
But five years after Queen Yuanning gave birth to Princess Yongle, her health suddenly failed. The symptoms were different from those of Prince Yongan, but they could not be cured.
Half a year later, Queen Yuanning died.
Since then, Pei Tong has been depressed.
Originally Emperor Mingwu disliked him, but now he disliked Emperor Mingwu.
He became even more taciturn during the morning session, and went home during the next session, not walking around with anyone.
It was only in the past two years, when he was in court, that Pei Tong became a little energetic and occasionally made some suggestions.
After reading the file, Lu Ning couldn't help but frown.
Why has Pei Tong suddenly felt better in the past two years?
Is it because Emperor Mingwu is dying?
But no matter what, Emperor Mingwu was his brother-in-law, so he wouldn't go to the Xuanyin Sect and trade the five-color snow cicada liquid with the leader of the Xuanyin Sect, right?
He immediately looked through Zhen Guogong's files.
The Duke of Zhen Guo, Sheng Minzheng, inherited his ancestral legacy. He first served as the head of the Ministry of War, and was later promoted to the chief general of the Golden Sword Guard. Until now, he has been very stable.
Perhaps because of his respected status and the fact that Sheng Minzheng was very low-key, many officials stayed away from him.
Not seeing what he wanted from the file, Lu Ning closed the file and looked at Yan Guogong's file.
Yan Chang, Duke of Yan State, inherited his ancestral legacy. In the first year of Emperor Xingwu's reign, he was the first military scholar. During the Battle of Yunlu, he was the deputy general of the Feilong Army. The general sacrificed his life and was promoted to the main general. He has been serving as the general ever since.
He kept a low profile as an official and basically had no close friends in the court except the old Duke.
The situation is similar to that of Zhenguo Gong Sheng Minzheng.
He immediately looked at Xu Kaishi's files. Xu Kaishi was the Marquis of the North. Thanks to his ancestral legacy, he became the number one scholar in martial arts in the seventh year of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is serving as the right minister of the Ministry of War in the court.
Regarding the official details, the content is relatively simple, which means that Xu Kaishi and Qin Zhong are relatively close. He is rough on the surface, but has a delicate mind, and is a bold and careful person.
Lu Ning frowned. Xu Kaishi and Qin Zhong were very close. He also knew this, but it couldn't explain anything.
Immediately looking at the file of Han Li, the left minister of the Ministry of War, the content was even simpler.
Born in Longwuyuan, he is low-key and pragmatic.
"..."
Lu Ning was speechless. It was so simple!
Longwuyuan is one of the holy places of martial arts in the world. Many military attaches in the court, including many military attachés in the Ministry of War, were mostly from Longwuyuan.
Longwuyuan was originally a place to transport talents to the military department of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
People who come from Longwuyuan can join the army as elite-level soldiers at the lowest level, and they can be promoted if they have military merit and available positions in the army.
If you have certain military leadership skills, you can be promoted higher.
When not fighting, Han Li is the left minister of the Ministry of War. When fighting, he is definitely the main battle general. In other words, Han Li has certain military talents.
Lu Ning then looked at the files of Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, and Ren Wujie respectively.
The files of the three people are quite simple. They started working directly after joining the Demon Suppression Division, and have been working until now as the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Division and as a military attache of the third rank.
The level is the same as that of Xu Kaishi and Han Li, but in fact, in terms of responsibilities and powers, they are much more powerful than the two.
The most important thing is that Chen Hu and the other three have cultivation levels above the third level. In this regard, Xu Kaishi and the other two are inferior.
Of course, when it comes to uniting troops to fight, perhaps the three of Chen Hu are not as good as the two of Xu Kaishi.
Lu Ning stared at the three-man files and frowned slightly. Although the three-man files were simple, they had the best chance of contacting the leader of the Xuanyin Sect.
After all, the Demon Suppressing Division oversees hundreds of officials and sects in the world, including the Demon Sect, of course.
The three of them joined the Demon-Suppressing Division in the 30th year since they established their martial arts. Until now, they can be regarded as emperors of three dynasties.
But the dossier is very simple. Either there is really no problem, or it is done extremely carefully and no one has caught it.
After reading it carefully, Lu Ning returned the file.
It happened to be evening when I walked out of the archives library.
Lu Ning did not go to the prison, nor did he return to Beizhengsi.
Instead, he went to the Temple of Justice.
When passing by the Demon Suppression Hall, the voice of Chi Long Demon Soul in his arms sounded: "Boy Lu, there is a human demon suppressing under this hall. His cultivation level should not be much weaker than mine."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "Can you feel it?"
"Yes, the sealing power of this hall is extremely strong. Although it is not as good as the ugly immortal Zhu Zhihuan, it is enough to suppress a first-class human and demon."
Chi Long Yaohun commented.
Lu Ning frowned: "What kind of demon?"
Chilong Demon Soul frowned: "Don't you understand?"
Lu Ning didn't talk nonsense: "Tell me about it."
Chilong Demon Soul muttered and said: "Demons are divided into four categories: real demons, human demons, ghost demons and demons."
"The real devil is neither human, nor demon, nor ghost. It is the most difficult creature to kill in the world."
"Human demons are people who practice demonic skills. In fact, simply practicing demonic skills cannot be regarded as human demons. People who practice demonic skills and go crazy are the real human demons. Therefore, human demons are also extremely difficult to kill."
"It's easy to understand demons. Demons who practice demonic skills are demons, such as me."
"Ghosts are ghosts and the like who practice demonic arts, but demons are relatively the easiest to kill."
Lu Ning frowned slightly: "Are there real demons in this world?"
Chilong Demon Soul was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that there is one, but I have never seen it."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "Your first-level demon master has never reached the Perfect Level of cultivation. Do you think you can only contact him if you reach the super-first level?"
Chilong Demon Soul pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know, but all the magic skills in the world are transmitted from the hands of the real demon, so the real demon definitely exists, and it is the source."
A solemn look flashed in Lu Ning's eyes, saying so, that demon is really difficult to kill.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Chi Long's demon soul sighed and said: "It's nothing. I have lived for three thousand years and I don't have much time left. Now that I've been hurt by your kid, I'm afraid it will take at most five years before the demon soul will dissipate."
"It's rare to meet such an interesting person like you. It's quite interesting to talk to him."
"That's it?"
"That's all!"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly and he said no more.
Wei Wei glanced at the Demon Suppression Hall. Although the demonic energy above the hall was still there, it was very less.
People with cultivation levels below the third level may not be able to detect a trace of demonic energy at all.
Lu Ning withdrew his gaze and left quickly.
The Hall of Justice.
Gu Fengtang has been very busy recently, not only investigating Wen Rentang's affairs, but also keeping an eye on the movements of King Yongshan, King Anshan, and King Beimang.
Not to say exhausted, but also very troubled.
"I've met my lord."
"This is Chang'an, is there something wrong?"
The sadness on Gu Fengtang's face disappeared and his eyes softened as he asked.
Lu Ning nodded and said, "My lord seems to be worried a lot."
Gu Fengtang sighed: "You have your mission, and I have my mission. Wen Rentang escaped from prison, and Wei Shuxian escaped from Beijing and Zhou. These things are also a headache."
"By the way, this morning you went to the Chengxuan Department to arrest Cao Dachun. Why didn't you discuss it with me?"
"Sir, didn't I discuss it with you yesterday? And His Majesty also personally told me to investigate Cao Dachun, so I took action directly early in the morning to avoid alerting the enemy."
"..."
Gu Fengtang smiled silently and said: "You are very resolute. There will definitely be many people talking about this matter in the court tomorrow. How do you want me to deal with it?"
Lu Ning raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Sir, this is why I came here to see you."
Gu Fengtang said curiously: "Tell me about it."
Lu Ning frowned and said: "Tomorrow in the court... no, I should say that when you meet the civil and military ministers, you should pay special attention to the five people, Uncle Guo, Zhen Guo Gong, Yan Guo Gong, Xu Kaishi, and Han Li. "
"Besides, Qin Zhong also pays attention."
"As for others, please pay careful attention."
"Observe his words and his appearance until the end of the morning."
Hearing this, Gu Fengtang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why do I have the feeling that you are teaching me how to behave?"
Lu Ning looked stunned: "...Sir, you have misunderstood!"
"Hmph!"
Gu Fengtang glanced at it and snorted softly, and said, "Tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
