Crack!
The soul of Yu Youdao, the killer who was famous throughout Zhongzhou, disappeared into thin air.
Shen Yu looked at the crushed insect under his feet, his eyes indifferent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The breeze blew, and Yan Shigu rushed to the battlefield. He had completely seen this scene just now, and his face was a little surprised. After a while, he shook his head and sincerely praised: "What a powerful soul, with such pure Taoism. Such a good Shen Yu."
The words were filled with sincere admiration and wonder.
Scholars who have truly studied in the academy know how to advance and retreat when encountering problems, and understand the gains and losses, but they will not hide their inner admiration or disgust.
This is the meaning of the word true between a true gentleman and a true villain.
Su Mo also nodded in agreement: "Junior brother is indeed a person who can inherit the master's legacy."
From their perspective, they can naturally see that although the realms of the two are as different as a chasm, when it comes to the battle for the soul, the old guy who has entered the upper three realms is actually worse than Shen Yu. One and a half stars.
That's why the collision just now was so devastating, truly as bright as an ant meeting the bright moon.
Shen Yu's face turned slightly pale. Although the collision just now was successful, it still had a great impact on him at the moment.
Su Mo patted Li Wudi on the shoulder and said, "Take him back to the academy to rest, be careful."
Li Wudi seemed to have just recovered from the shock of that finger, and nodded subconsciously.
She was reluctant to help Shen Yu. She had a bad face all day long, just like someone who owed him a lot of money. But since she knew Su Mo's identity, she didn't dare to act arbitrarily.
Seeing Shen Yu and Li Wudi leaving the sight, Su Mo shook his head slightly.
Yan Shigu said: "Don't worry, this matter will naturally come to light."
Su Mo asked: "What if we find something that cannot be investigated?"
Yan Shigu was stunned and said, "That depends on what His Majesty in the palace wants."
Su Mo said calmly: "Then we must investigate, investigate thoroughly, and get to the bottom of it."
His tone was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable feeling. Yan Shigu smiled and said, "It seems that you also feel sorry for your little junior brother."
Su Mo shook his head and said: "Whatever you do, you have to bear the price. The cycle of natural principles is the most appropriate principle in the world. What's more, I am just a junior brother and the hope of Dao Sect. If I can survive here, It’s not going well...”
Su Mo sighed and said, "Then I will feel sorry for you, Master."
"Daozong's hope..."
Yan Shigu carefully considered the meaning of these five words and murmured: "Is this situation serious enough within Dao Sect now?"
Su Mo shook his head, "It's much worse than this."
...
Shen Yu was actually assassinated in the imperial capital, and the assassin was clearly suspected of deliberately framing the Duke of Wei, which immediately caused an uproar.
Although Shen Yu did not cause any disturbance on the surface when he entered the imperial capital, and even got a job as a gatekeeper in the academy, in fact, countless forces in the imperial capital had already figured out this matter clearly, and now The assassination completely broke the superficial calm.
Unexpectedly, the first one to attack was not Daozong or the Academy, but the Duke's Mansion.
Today, Old Duke Fang was so furious that almost the entire court trembled. In less than half a day, the identity of the assassin was clearly revealed.
Yu Youdao, the killer of Jimo Mountain in Zhongzhou, is also an old monster who has been famous for a long time. He was seriously injured by an unknown ranger decades ago and has never taken action again.
A series of Yu Youdao's life trajectories have been clearly investigated, but it is very interesting that all the information stops at Yu Youdao himself, instead of going deeper.
Of course, the other party's response measures were extremely decisive and did not leave any clues, but it was also obvious that they were unwilling to investigate.
Why did Yu Youdao attack Shen Yu? Whose commission was it? The man behind the scenes again
who is it?
In the lobby of the mansion, Duke Fang saw the cowering expressions of his former students and said coldly: "Others don't dare to investigate, but I dare. As long as Your Majesty doesn't say anything, it's useless for anyone. You are worried about your career, so it's okay. , I will check it myself next. The reason why I called you here is just to ask you, Pei Wen, please tell me how to check it. "
A thirty-year-old man with a steady face and wearing official uniform of the Tang Dynasty stood up, hesitating slightly, and after a moment he said softly: "Although there are no clues from Yu Youdao, Shen Yu was imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment the night before the crime. , as far as I know, it is not the meaning of the teacher, but Wang Zhixuan, the Minister of Punishment, who makes the decision without authorization... And the timing of Shen Yu entering and leaving the Duke's mansion is too clever. The other party knows it so well, maybe we can check it from this aspect. check."
The words were cryptic, but the meaning was clear.
How to check? Of course it was Wang Zhixuan, the Minister of Investigation and Punishment.
The night before yesterday, he inexplicably took Shen Yu to the jail of the Ministry of Justice to force him to plead guilty. From the outside, they might simply think that Wang Zhixuan was too utilitarian and wanted to use this matter to increase his prestige. However, from the perspective of these old foxes present, this was not the case. It's just a weird thing.
The academy has already sent people to decide this matter. You are just a minister of the Ministry of Justice, why do you want to jump up and down?
Everyone present had been immersed in officialdom for decades, so they naturally thought of these things, but it was hard to say because everyone knew that Wang Zhixuan was a student that the teacher valued highly in his early years.
But this time the teacher summoned most of the students, but he did not call out Wang Zhixuan. They figured out why with a little thought.
When the old Duke Fang heard this, he glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and said, "I am very pleased. Although you have become the most annoying person in officialdom now when you were young, at least your brains are not rotten. , This is good, a corrupt official is not terrible, but you must have a brain and know how to do things for the people, otherwise you will really be a waste and you will be a waste for the rest of your life."
The dozen or so officials present could be said to be the core figures among the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, no one dared to feel dissatisfied at all after hearing these words. They all looked respectful.
Old Duke Fang sighed softly, as if he felt it was an eyesore, and said, "Get out of here and call that bastard Wang Zhixuan."
Everyone dispersed towards the door one after another.
Half an hour later, Wang Zhixuan, the Minister of Punishment, stepped into the lobby of the Duke's Mansion.
He looked at the old man sitting high in the lobby, his face turned pale, and cold sweat ran all over his body unconsciously.
The old man drank a cup of tea, without even looking at him, and said doubtfully: "In order to become an official these years, you have not even cared about your spiritual practice. Look at yourself. Is this person worthy of the young man?" Is it the cultivation of the martial arts realm?"
