The turmoil in the imperial city also spread to Fengli City. The death of Lu Liang and the catastrophe of the Lu family were widely publicized. Countless people felt sorry for the loyal and brave Lord Lu who was killed by the thieves. At the same time, they also gritted their teeth against those evil monks. The verbal and written criticisms were endless and very lively. Both the Punishment Department and the Xuanqing Guards stated that they would investigate to the end and would never give up. But what about action?
People with discerning eyes can see everything clearly. But no one said it clearly.
Is it true that the Lu family was harmed by evil monks? Did Lu Liang himself really die suddenly due to worry?
Is it important?
Logically speaking, it should be very important, but people who see clearly now are deliberately trying to make this matter gradually become less important, and it does not even need to stay in people's memories for too long.
Even when the news of Lu Liang's death came out, what many people thought of was not "How did Lu Liang die?" but "What will happen after Lu Liang dies?"
The most direct impact is that Cao Guobang, who is regarded by everyone as the "temporary left prime minister", has become very different.
In the past, Cao Guobang was regarded as a tool to help Lu Liang occupy his position. Now that Lu Liang is gone, is Cao Guobang still just a tool?
Without Lu Liang, the emperor's first confidant, Cao Guobang suddenly became more pleasing to the eye. Both his qualifications and his subsequent performance after the emperor ascended the throne were remarkable, and the transition from the position of right prime minister to left prime minister was smooth and enough to convince the public.
Should I express my true feelings to Prime Minister Cao? Or reverence?
The people above were mourning Master Lu Liang and were busy thinking about the changes in the situation later. At the lower level, the yamen at all levels naturally followed the same example and had different opinions.
After all, Lu Liang has only been in power for a few days? How long can one be talked about after death?
Therefore, the big guys in the temple have ideas, but the little guys below are more concerned about things that are closely related to themselves. For example, the great changes in Jingbei Xuanqingwei.
The Qin family, which relied on Operation Jingxi to rise to power, has now become the target of a new operation.
When no one was aware, the Qin family's main residence and various villages were wiped out overnight. The dead were killed and the others were arrested. No one, old or young, master or servant escaped.
There are also members of the loyal and brave Qin family who want to jump up and ask what's going on, or even obstruct him. As a result, he was pierced by a burst of spell-breaking arrows and turned into a rag. Immediately afterwards, the notice from the commanding yamen spread to all the Xuanqingwei yamen in Jingbei.
Anyone who dares to interfere with Black Flag Battalion's investigation of the Qin family case will be punished with treason!
A commander from the Xuanhai Realm is stationed at the Black Flag Camp Yamen in Jiang'an. Anyone who makes trouble will be killed. There is no interrogation scene within the Xuanqing Guard. If you dare not obey an order, there is no room for explanation.
When the seven heads were hung on the gate of the Xuanqing Guard House in Jiang'an, all those who wanted to complain to the Qin family or raise their arms and raise their arms and raise their voices were silenced. Because behind these seven heads are seven families, waiting for them will not be able to escape the word death. It will be treated as a crime of treason! At least they are all from the Yi tribe, who dares to speak out?
It can be said that now everyone in Jingbei Xuanqing Guards is as silent as a cicada.
Thousands of households and the governor of the town have all been captured. They must be afraid, and there are many people who are afraid. Who has not been involved with the two father and son of Xuan Qingwei in Jingbei? It’s not easy to get around.
But in addition to the people inside Xuan Qingwei, there are also many people outside who can't sleep at night and can't eat.
And the very next day, Commander Pang Ban transferred a person from the Commander's Yamen to temporarily serve as the governor of Jingbei Town. He would temporarily command the Jingbei Xuanqing Guards and fully cooperate with the investigation of the Black Flag Battalion.
The man who suddenly came down to sit on the throne of Jingbei Town's envoy is called Wang Miao. He is a rare white-faced scholar in Xuanqing Guard, but his eyes are not as hard as a scholar's. On the contrary, he always gives people some hazy malice. Like a snake.
This is an unexpected choice. At least it was beyond Jiang Cheng and Shen Hao's expectations. Wang Miao had previously served as Pang Ban's adjutant in the Commander's Office for a long time, and then was transferred to logistics, so he had almost no front-line experience. Who would have thought that this man would suddenly sit in the position of governor?
Of course, although the accident is unexpected, it doesn't hurt. Shen Hao and Jiang Cheng were not qualified to calculate the position of governor. They were eyeing positions of Jingbei Qianhu official or below. Before this, Jiang Cheng was mainly active and making preparations. The people Shen Hao secretly contacted were only targeting marginal positions.
In fact, these are not so crucial to the center of the storm at this moment, that is, Shen Hao, the commander of the Black Flag Battalion of the Xuanqing Guard. There are things in his eyes that are more worthy of his consideration.
The two most critical figures, Qin Mu and Qin Haiping, were taken down by Shen Hao himself. Using his soul power, he put the two people into the dungeon of the Black Flag Camp with almost no effort. But these two people can first let them warm up every day in the torture room to maintain a good state of waiting for trial. It is best to wear off all their resistance, so there is no rush.
What Shen Hao really cared about was the storage bags of Qin Mu and Qin Haiping, as well as the secret rooms of the Qin family's main residence.
Shen Hao's purpose has always been very clear, which is to get one or several barrier-breaking pills that he has heard about for a long time.
The result did not disappoint Shen Hao. Immediately, the people below took out a bottle of special pills from Qin Mu's storage bag, a total of three pills! Then a bottle of four identical unknown pills was found in the secret room of the Qin Mansion. Then he was identified by the pseudo-evil monk who had swallowed the Barrier-Breaking Pill before and confirmed that this thing was the Barrier-Breaking Pill that Shen Hao had been looking for.
The whole thing looks a bit like "Red Evil", both are blood red and have a tangy fragrance. The difference is that the "Red Evil" has no mottled colors, while this barrier-breaking pill has some black lines on it, which looks less pure than the "Red Evil".
But the moment he saw the Barrier-Breaking Pill, Shen Hao felt that his previous suspicions were probably right. The two pills had similar effects and similar appearances. Are there any internal connections?
The Barrier-Breaking Pill is definitely complementary to the "Primarch Plan". However, it is still unknown what the supplementary part is.
"Besides these seven pills, are there any omissions?" Shen Hao put down the collected barrier-breaking pills and asked Wang Jian, who was standing with hands tied in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"My lord, I have searched three times, and only seven of these pills have been found so far. I will keep an eye on them, and if any new ones are found, they will be sent over immediately."
Shen Hao nodded: "I will keep one, and you take the other six. They will be included in the original body plan. But remember that things must be in our own hands and not in the hands of the people who command the Yamen. Here. Complete the effect test of the barrier-breaking pill as soon as possible, and compare the effect with the "Red Evil".
Of course, it would be best if we could reverse engineer the recipe. "
"What about the scope of the test?"
"Based on the "Red Evil". Keep an eye on it. No matter what reasons those alchemists and doctors have, they are not allowed to expand the scope of the test. If they have any questions, just come to me directly."
