Chapter 52: The Jianghu People who sneered at the court

It just passed noon.

Ganwu Palace, Qianyuan Palace.

The empress had just had lunch, and Zhou An and Gao Hong came together.

"I have paid tribute to the Lord, long live the Lord..."

"I will meet the Lord!"

Zhou An and Gao Hong went to Qianyuan Hall to salute, but they knelt and stood. When the Eighth Emperor met the Empress in private, they did not need to kneel down and worship. They only needed to kneel down and worship during court meetings or other large-scale events.

"No gift." The empress's voice came from behind the bead curtain, but she heard her say again: "Xiao Anzi, you have just recovered from the injury and are weak. If you come to see me in recent days, you don't have to kneel down."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhou An thanked him and then stood up.

"How is it? Did the assassin say something?" the empress asked again.

"If you return to the emperor, he will be able to do it!" Gao Hong said respectfully.

"Oh?" The empress suddenly stood up, then lifted the bead curtain and walked out from behind. She rarely showed such an urgent expression. Kang Longji followed the empress with a whisk in her arms, but her face was expressionless and her emotions were not fluctuating.

"He asked? Did he get evidence of collusion with Wu Xukuan? Is there a letter?" The empress asked in front of the two.

"Master, the mastermind behind the assassin's call was not Wu Xukuan!" Gao Hong said.

"Hmm?" The empress's face changed and her brows frowned slightly, "Who is it?"

"King Yunsu!" Gao Hong said.

The empress's eyebrows were deeper and her face became much more gloomy, but she did not look surprised or surprised! Because all the six major vassal kings had the opposite intention, this is no secret. Even the empress's brother Fengzhong, who was the same father and mother, was coveting the throne!

King Yunsu is a king of a different surname, and it is not surprising that he wants to seize the Wu clan's territory.

He hired someone to assassinate Princess Yunjing, which was a rebellion!

But, as far as the assassination of Princess Yunjing is concerned, what are the benefits for King Yunsu?

"Tell me in detail, what did the assassin say about how he called him? He said, "Is there any evidence?" The empress said with her hands behind her back.

Gao Hong winked at Zhou An.

Zhou An took a step forward and lowered his waist and said respectfully: "The Lord, it was the assassin who was examined by the slave. The assassin was a tough bone and refused to say much. Therefore, the slave used the hypnosis method that he had created not long ago, which made him confused his consciousness and asked him to explain several key issues. He admitted that the mastermind behind the scenes was King Yunsu. It was King Yunsu who sent a full 30,000 taels of gold to hire the Pure Land Sect to assassinate His Highness Yunjing. He also admitted that there was indeed evidence to prove King Yunsu. The evidence was in the hands of a Pure Land Sect saint who was Bai Xiaokui, but he did not say where Bai Xiaokui was."

"Why?" the empress asked hurriedly.

"Because the slave's method of interrogation is that the hypnosis technique is flawed. Although it can confuse the assassin's consciousness, he will also be slow to think and lose memory. It is very difficult for him to recall what is in memory..."

The empress looked at Zhou An coldly.

She didn't ask what Zhou An's hypnosis method was, because she knew similar techniques, such as Kang Longji, but she was not very clever.

Now, the empress is very dissatisfied.

Although the assassin made a move, he did not say anything useful!

Although the assassin said that King Yunsu was not what the empress needed. It was not up to him that the empress had the intention to rebel. The empress had known for a long time, and the land of Yunyue controlled by King Yunsu was in the southwestern border of the Donggan Empire, and he could not directly threaten the empress.

As long as there is no chaos in the world or Wu Xukuan rebelled, King Yunsu would not dare to really rebel!

So the problem now is still, Wu Xukuan!

The empress previously believed that the assassination of Princess Yunjing was instructed by Wu Xukuan, and she also hoped that this would be the case and that evidence would be obtained. This evidence was not for Wu Xukuan to convict, and there was no need for such evidence to convict Wu Xukuan!

The empress just wanted the whole world to know that Wu Xukuan colluded with the Pure Land Sect!

This will bring great trouble to Wu Xukuan!

Because in the world, the so-called martial arts schools all hate Pure Land Buddhism to the core. They regard Pure Land Buddhism as a cult and treat the people of Pure Land Buddhism as demons that everyone can punish! The same is true for those lonely knights.

The Pure Land Buddhism has been passed down intermittently for thousands of years and has penetrated into the three religions and nine ranks of the entire Donggan Empire. Even the officials of the imperial court have included the Pure Land Buddhism. Pure Land Buddhism is a great threat, but in the more than 300 years since the Donggan Dynasty was established, the Pure Land Buddhism has never really done anything that threatens the Donggan country.

The reason is that Pure Land Buddhism has always been suppressed by the righteous martial arts! Many sects with a long history have a grudge against Pure Land Buddhism that can be traced back to thousands of years ago.

The disputes in the world are full of blood and killing!

But it is only limited to the world!

Heroes violate the ban with martial arts!

That's true! The famous knights in the world are proud of killing the demons of the Pure Land Sect. They despise the king's law. Although they are called justice, they also kill people without blinking. They kill all the evil people in their eyes.

If a warrior who has just entered the world wants to become famous, the fastest way for him to become famous is to have a head-on battle with the Pure Land Sect!

There is no need to kill a person of the Pure Land Sect Shaozun. Just killing the rudder of the Pure Land Sect branch is enough to spread the reputation all over the world!

There is even a unique atmosphere in the world at present, that is, everyone regards killing the demons of the Pure Land Sect as a shortcut to quickly become famous, and even those who collude with the Pure Land Sect, they must kill them! No matter who it is, even the officials of the court, they dare to kill them! The people in the Jianghu sneer at the court, which has a lot to do with the fact that the Donggan Dynasty rarely interferes in the affairs of the Jianghu for hundreds of years.

Because Wu Yuanyin, the founding emperor of the Donggan Dynasty, was born in a wild family!

Before he fights for the world, he is a man from the world.

Wu Yuanyin knew the world very well, so after Donggan established the country, he set many rules that could not be explained clearly.

For example, things happen to the world!

Let them kill!

They killed each other, and had endless disputes and weakened each other. This was actually a balance for an emperor. As long as they did not rebel or threatened the Donggan Kingdom, they would just let them do whatever they wanted!

Therefore, it is of great significance to prove that Wu Xukuan colluded with Pure Land Buddhism!

As long as the people in the world and the people of the martial arts world know that Wu Xukuan colluded with the Pure Land Sect, there will be countless martial arts knights who will assassinate him. This is a huge temptation for those martial arts knights! If anyone can really kill Wu Xukuan, it will be more than just famous all over the world!

But now, things went wrong.

The mastermind behind the scenes is not Wu Xukuan?!

"Is this the result of your interrogation?" The empress glanced at Zhou An, Gao Hong said, and looked cold.

"Master, although the assassin did not give a satisfactory result, the slave had already read his memory." Zhou An said as soon as he said, "I know that the assassination of Your Highness Yun Jing was indeed not instructed by Wu Xukuan himself, but this matter cannot be separated from Wu Xukuan. Wu Xukuan has colluded with King Yunsu. He must have colluded with the Pure Land Sect!"

Zhou An said with confidence.

The empress was unmoved and asked directly: "Is there any evidence?"

What she wants is evidence! She doesn't care about the process, she wants the result!

"Is there any!" Zhou An said quickly, "But there can be! The slave has already made plans and will definitely get evidence of Wu Xukuan's collusion with the Pure Land Sect!"
Chapter completed!
