Killing an official is an unforgivable crime no matter which dynasty it is in.

Especially in the feudal dynasty, the hierarchy was very strict, and those who committed crimes below were even more punishable. They had to be punished with Ling Chi or even sit in jail together.

This was a provocation to the rule of a dynasty that no emperor could tolerate.

Song Tonghai committed such a serious crime, and Chu Zheng's previous thoughts were naturally in vain.

When the imperial envoys arrive and find out the truth, the situation will become extremely dangerous.

Running away seems to be the best option again.

Chu Zheng fell into deep thought and quickly rejected the idea of ​​running away again.

If you leave now, you will be fleeing in fear of crime. The court will directly issue a pursuit order, and it may even alarm the Immortal Sect.

The methods of immortality are mysterious, and there must be a way to track them thousands of miles away. It is only a matter of time before they are caught up.

In a dilemma, for a moment, Chu Zheng felt as if he was holding a thorn in his hand, which was extremely pricking.

What should he do to protect himself and prevent him from entering the spiritual transformation?

Rubbing his brows, Chu Zheng suddenly narrowed his eyes, looked at Song Tonghai, and said tentatively: "May I ask the master, how strong is the Phantom Spirit Sect?"

"That is a real immortal sect. There are countless immortals, so it is naturally extremely powerful."

"What about Bi Da Zhou?"

"Of course he is stronger than Dazhou. After all, Dazhou is a mortal country. How can it be compared with those who cultivate immortals."

Song Tonghai was a little confused: "Why do you ask these questions?"

Chu Zheng's brows relaxed slightly, and he said slowly: "Then I suggest that the head of the family delay it for a while. If he can't hide it, he will kill the family and report the second lady to murder the official and abscond."

"Um?"

Song Tonghai immediately frowned, and after tasting it for a moment, he shook his head:

"If we do this, the government may temporarily detain us, or even take us to the capital. That would be like entering a tiger's den, with no hope of escape."

Song Tonghai understood what Chu Zheng was thinking. He was using Song Lingqing to put pressure on Zhou Dynasty. As long as Song Lingqing was still alive, the government would definitely be wary of him.

Even if it is known that Song Tonghai is lying, there is a high probability that he can temporarily protect himself. This is an expedient measure and the court can live with it.

"The only solution now is to take it one step at a time. The most critical thing is the attitude of the court."

Chu Zheng sighed softly. In this predicament, the only thing he could think of was to wait until he had a sudden change and then make a plan.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Chu Zheng asked again: "Does the head of the family know the relationship between the Immortal Sect behind Da Zhou and the Phantom Sect?"

"There is no immortal gate behind Dazhou." Song Tonghai shook his head slightly.

"No?!" Chu Zheng was a little surprised for a moment.

He originally thought that the Immortal Sect was secretly manipulating Dazhou, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"The Zhao family lineage has ancestors in all the major immortal sects, including the Phantom Sect. I heard this from a senior immortal when Lingqing entered the immortal sect."

"So that's it." Chu Zheng suddenly felt more relieved. If this is the case, then Zhou's attitude will be more neutral.

Afterwards, Chu Zheng discussed some details with Song Tonghai before leaving.

When discussing this matter, both Chu Zheng and Song Tonghai tacitly avoided a question.

What if something goes wrong on Song Lingqing's side.

Less than seven days after the death of the governor, a group of red-armored cavalry carrying the imperial flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty entered Luofeng City and went straight to the city lord's palace.

The Suzaku Divine Guard is one of the Four Guards of the Emperor. Only those who have condensed their inner energy are eligible to be selected into the Four Guards. Their righteous leaders are all the pillars of the country, and all of them are great masters in the world.

At noon that day, all the martial arts practitioners in the city were forcibly taken away by the Suzaku Divine Guards, including everyone from the Song family.

In the lobby, everyone from the Song family was present. An armored man sat behind the case, his eyes as sharp as an eagle scanning the crowd.

This man looked to be in his fifties, with a square face, shiny black hair, not a single silver strand, and strong energy and blood all over his body.

The commander of the Suzaku Divine Guard is Li Mingzhou.

Chu Zheng stood behind, his eyes shining brightly, and he observed secretly for a moment, feeling a little moved.

He somewhat underestimated the strength of the great master of martial arts.

The Grand Master's life level has undergone transformation, and he can live at least one hundred and fifty years old. The energy in his body is terrifyingly powerful, far exceeding that of the Grand Master.

The grandmaster in front of him, judging from the Qi in his body, is at least ninety years old, but he looks to be less than fifty, and he is still vigorous and vigorous.

"Song Tonghai!"

Li Mingzhou, who was sitting behind the case, suddenly shouted loudly, the sound was like a loud bell, which shocked people into a trance.

"The grassroots are here." Song Tonghai walked out slowly.

"Where were you when Yuan Xingcai and Luo Wang died?"

"The house had just been robbed that night, and the civilians were also injured. They should be treating their wounds." Song Tonghai answered truthfully.

Li Mingzhou looked him over and said in a deep voice: "Take off your clothes."

Song Tonghai did as he was told and took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body. Scars were all over his body, and several new injuries were clearly visible.

"Go down."

After looking at it twice, Li Mingzhou nodded slightly and waved his hand.

He didn't ask any more questions about the rest of the Song family and quickly released them.

Did it pass so easily?

wrong.

Chu Zheng followed the crowd, his eyes slightly focused, and he was puzzled for a while.

That day Luo Wang came to the house and snatched away the bones of the men in black. Song Tonghai held a grudge, so he started killing people. The motive and time of the crime were consistent, and with sufficient strength, he was the biggest suspect.

But do you believe this great master? Why?

"You stay."

Chu Zheng was still deep in thought when a call suddenly came from behind him.

…………

…………

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The sun was setting in the west, and the crimson clouds stained the walls of the deep palace courtyard, giving off a bone-chilling chill.

In a side hall, the emperor received Zhao Yunheng, while Zhao Jichang was left waiting outside the hall.

The light in the hall was a little dim, and there were only the emperor and Zhao Yunheng.

Suddenly, the emperor suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhao Yunheng hard.

Snapped--

The crisp sound echoed in the hall, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

"You're too impatient."

The emperor looked slightly cold and said in a cold voice: "You are interested in the bloodline of the Song family and want to make plans for future generations. It is understandable, but you must act within your ability."

"What kind of person is Song Lingqing? A top-grade immortal bone, a real immortal seedling that has the hope of entering the Nine Transformations of the Divine Infant in the future. If given the opportunity, it is impossible to say that the Great Zhou Dynasty will change."

"If she survives the Ten Thousand Sects' Hidden Dragon Competition, she can only enter the Tao in a matter of days, and the Soul Condensation is just around the corner. If you go too far now, how will it end later?"

"Brother Emperor, I didn't do anything."

Zhao Yunheng shook his head and felt helpless: "I just told the Luofeng City Sheriff to sit back and not meddle in other people's business, that's all."

"Jichang is my flesh and blood. I will not harm him or let him marry a resentful woman who carries a blood feud and go home."

"really?"

"If you tell a lie, I will not enter the ancestral mausoleum after I die."
