Shangdu, imperial palace.
After experiencing the previous shock in Shangdu and losing 30% of the dragon vein power, the entire Shangdu is now cracked everywhere. Even the palace seems to have experienced an earthquake. Many buildings have collapsed, dust is everywhere, and everywhere It was the person who was packing his things, looking very embarrassed.
Only the "Dragon Palace" where the foundation of the dragon vein is located is still intact at this time, and Huang Shang and others were brought here by Dayu, Zheng Zhuanggong and others to discuss matters regarding accountability and compensation.
"This time, if there is no Taoist disciple to help save the people of Zheng State from the chaos of their inner demons, I am afraid that their lives will be in danger, and our Zheng State will also be in danger of being destroyed."
"Ji Huansheng, thank you Daozi."
In the main hall, Zheng Zhuanggong dismissed many of his men, leaving only him and Dayu. Then he walked up to Huang Shang, folded his hands into fists, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
"This is what I should do. One thing comes to another. Although your Zheng Kingdom has colluded with the Yuanshi Demon, it has nothing to do with the people. Even if you don't speak, I will find a way to save them."
Huang Shang waved his hand, not caring about Zheng Zhuanggong's behavior, but said calmly: "Of course, although I rescued them, it does not prevent me from coming to investigate. Regarding the collusion with the Yuanshi Demon, you Shangdu will eventually decide I need to give an explanation.”
"Please tell me, Daozi. I don't know anything about this matter. It must be that the grandson and grandson were bewitched by the demons, so they committed such a heinous crime."
After hearing Huang Shang's words, Zheng Zhuanggong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This person has always been narrow-minded, impulsive and jealous. I originally thought he had changed now, but I didn't expect... Hey, it's all my fault that I don't know people well. .”
The "Gongsunzidu" he mentioned was the leader sent by Shangdu to the Blood Prison Youquan this time, and now he also fell into Huang Shang's hands.
"Are you ignorant of people? No, you are ignorant of good and evil!"
However, when faced with Zheng Zhuanggong's behavior of passing all the responsibilities to Gongsun Sundu, Huang Shang smiled disdainfully: "You even spared people like Gongsun Sundu who stabbed others in the back, and you actually entrusted them with important responsibilities. I really don't like it." I know what you think!"
This grandson is still a celebrity, because he is the "origin" of the idiom "to stab someone in the dark".
When Zheng Zhuanggong attacked the Xu State, he sent his veteran general Ying Kaoshu, the archer known as the most beautiful man in the world, and the young general Gong Sunzi Du. They led the army to attack the Xu State. But on the way, both the prince and his grandson were arrogant and favored, and had conflicts with Uncle Ying Kao. Later, when Uncle Ying Kao defeated Xu State, they were jealous of Uncle Ying Kao's achievements and secretly shot Uncle Ying Kao to death with an arrow.
This is the origin of the idiom of backstabbing!
However, Duke Zhuang of Zheng knew clearly that both his grandson and grandson had committed such a serious crime, but he could not bring himself to punish him, which became a typical example of his ignorance of people and his inability to distinguish between good and evil.
But what about Duke Zhuang of Zheng? He still refuses to change his ways, and even leaves such an important task of suppressing the Yuanshi Demon in the apocalypse to a villain like Gongsunzidu. It would be strange if nothing goes wrong.
"..."
Perhaps it had been too long since he had been reprimanded face to face. When he heard Huang Shang's words, a trace of anger flashed in Zheng Zhuanggong's eyes, but he quickly suppressed the anger. He took a deep breath and nodded. Said: "Yes, this is my responsibility, but the collusion with the devil is indeed done by Gongsunzidu alone, and has nothing to do with my royal family. Please tell me, Daozi!"
Su Yowei's situation is stronger than others. At this time, he can only give in and hope to minimize the losses.
"Who said it has nothing to do with the royal family?"
But the next moment, what Huang Shang said made Zheng Zhuanggong tremble all over, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes: "Based on the information we got from Gongsunzidu, there are not many people in Shangdu who were involved in this matter. He is the only one. In addition to him, there are also Jizu, who is known as the number one counselor in your Shangdu, and your concubine, Gongzi Tu."
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Huang Shang's eyes: "If you don't believe it, do you want me to confront them on the spot?"
He didn't lie, nor did he make up any memories, because judging from the information obtained from Gongsundu's memory, it was indeed a conspiracy between Gongsundu, Jizu and Gongzitu.
Only these three favorites, advisers and heirs could cause such an incident without concealing it from Duke Zheng Zhuang.
"Sacrifice your feet, young master? How dare they!"
Duke Zheng Zhuang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Although his face was full of disbelief, he actually believed most of it in his heart.
No one knows Jizu and Gongzitu better than him!
Both of these two people are ambitious people, especially Saizu. Not only did he assist him to rise to power, but he also laid various plans for himself in his old age. In the end, he even designed and coerced the establishment of a concubine after his death, so that he was originally unqualified. The young master who succeeded to the throne suddenly became the head of the country and was known as Duke Zheng Li.
But now that he has been reborn in the apocalypse, has achieved success in cultivation, and has become an immortal body. Under such circumstances, these two ambitious people will naturally not be willing to surrender to their subordinates forever, and it is possible to do anything. of.
But he didn't expect that these two people would be so courageous, and even colluded with the Yuanshi Demon, and now they have brought a huge disaster to Shangdu.
Thinking of this, Duke Zheng Zhuang seemed to have had his energy drained from his whole body, and his body became swollen. He sighed and said, "Whether Dao Zi believes it or not, I really don't know about this... But now it's too late to say this." It’s useless, I hope Daozi will be merciful, even if it’s because we have protected these tens of millions of people for a long time, let us leave some incense in our lineage..."
"Other than that, Ji Yousheng is at Daozi's disposal, even if it means killing me... I have nothing to say."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Huang Shang again.
His son, his top adviser, and his favorites colluded with the Yuanshi Demon, but he had no idea about it. If he told this, no one would believe it, so Zheng Zhuanggong stopped struggling and simply accepted his fate, just hoping to leave his own lineage. Put down some incense.
"Gongzi Tu and Jizu, I have sent people to arrest them. There should be news soon, and I will deal with them by then."
"As for your life...it means nothing to me. I can take it or not."
"Now, it depends on what price you can pay to buy your life back."
Seeing that Zheng Zhuang was destined to die, Huang Shang had no intention of taking his life, but gave him a chance to "buy his life".
After all, even if he gets rid of Zheng Zhuanggong's lineage, the Shangdu will be taken over by Dayu or other families in Shangdu. The eight ancient capitals will never let Shangdu fall into the hands of the Taoist sect. In this case, it is better to leave Zhengzhuanggong alive. First, he can get a lot of "life money", and secondly, he can catch Zheng Zhuang Gong. He has a history of colluding with the Yuanshi Demon, so he is not afraid of this guy being disobedient in the future.
But now he is curious about what Duke Zheng Zhuang can offer to buy his own life.
After all, the power of Dragon Vein in Shangdu is now in jeopardy. It is impossible to mobilize the power of Dragon Vein at the cost like the capital city. So with Shangdu's background, what else can be obtained?
