Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 48 The incident came to light

Compared to the anxiety of the Tianjing Gang, Teng Jingcai was in a better mood at the moment. When he returned to the backyard, he called his concubines to have fun, and his appetite and lust were restored.

In the middle of the night, Teng Jingcai suddenly felt chest tightness and gradually began to have nightmares. Then he woke up from his dream and found that his concubine's hand was pressing on his chest.

"Hoo"

Teng Jingcai gently moved his concubine's arm away, turned her body and continued to sleep.

It was only when he fell asleep that Teng Jing suddenly remembered something. He remembered that the warlock named Zhou seemed to have said before that his spells had limitations. Some warriors' Qi and blood became powerful, but when they met those with the most powerful martial arts, they were effective. There aren't many, and it's even less likely to be effective when it comes to someone who is extremely martial.

Innate martial arts, an innate master?

The words of Mr. Whale Gang that day before came to mind again.

Teng Jingcai straightened up suddenly. That man was lying! There is no way that Zhou's magic can defeat an innate warrior!

Thinking back to the way the person surnamed Yu was seriously injured and unable to stand on his own, Teng Jingcai became more and more frightened as he thought about it. Could it be that it wouldn't work at all? Isn't it possible that someone with the surname Zhou was also arrested?

Teng Jingcai couldn't sleep now. He waited anxiously until dawn. He couldn't wait to put on his clothes and prepare to go to the headquarters of the Sky Whale Gang. However, he didn't get to see the person in charge of the Sky Whale Gang. He was only invited in to drink some tea. , waited until a gang leader came and chatted for a few words, saying that the gang leader was out.

Teng Jingcai was reluctant and waited until the afternoon before leaving, and told the people of the Sky Whale Gang to ask their gang leader to find him when he returned.

But the next day, Teng Jingcai waited all day at home without waiting for anyone to come. Once again having trouble sleeping and eating, he went to the head of the Tianjing Gang early on the third day. This time, he only saw a few minions and no one else. He was still polite and did not dare to neglect.

When he returned to his study at home, Teng Jingcai felt depressed.

It was also at this moment that the servant came over cautiously with a letter.

"Master, there is a letter from Yuezhou..."

"What, give it to me quickly!"

Teng Jingcai grabbed the letter and couldn't wait to tear it open. After browsing it, his expression became worse and worse.

With a "bang", Teng Jingcai slapped the desk hard, but the pain in his right hand immediately made him grimace.

"You're a magistrate of Yuanjiang County, you're so poisonous..."

Teng Jingcai shuddered just thinking about it.

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death!"

The next moment, Teng Jingcai quietly began to search around the house for some valuables.

——

While the Tianjing Gang and Teng Jingcai were struggling in Wuzhou, another urgent memorial from Yuanjiang County had already arrived at Chengtian Mansion.

This time the memorial focused on detailing the harm caused by witchcraft and sorcery. Unlike the last time, it immediately attracted the attention of the Ministry of Punishment.

However, someone once again quietly sent the news. When Sheng Shuying, the minister of official affairs, found out about it in the middle of the night, she collapsed on the study couch at home.

"It's over. What else did this bastard do? He's trying to kill me!"

I didn't expect that Teng Jingcai would dare to touch witchcraft and harm people. This was a taboo in today's world. Ten heads are not enough to lose him!

"Hey, we can't sit still and wait for death!"

Sheng Shuying shook violently, crumpled the note in her hand, and then immediately rummaged in the study and found the secret letter Teng Jingcai had sent before. Her whole body was trembling slightly. She took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down. She immediately Start studying ink and writing books.

The next day was the court meeting, and Sheng Shuying, who had not slept all night, put on her court clothes and entered the palace early. In the waiting room, he always felt that some officials were glancing at him, and it seemed that it was just his imagination.

Finally, when it was time for the court meeting, a group of civil and military officials lined up to enter the Zichen Palace. Before the emperor came, Sheng Shuying was already extremely nervous.

"Man Shanda, are you hot?"

A colleague nearby made a confused sound. Sheng Shuying reached out and touched her forehead. It was covered with fine beads of sweat. She could only say awkwardly.

"Yes, it's a bit hot."

"The Emperor has arrived——"

Sheng Shuying cheered up and looked up, and the ministers shouted together: "Welcome to the Holy One——"

Under the guidance of the eunuch, a tall middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a black gauze winged crown sat on the dragon chair and said calmly.

"My dear friends, no courtesy!"

After the eunuch stood still, he said loudly as usual.

"There is a notebook to play——"

When Sheng Shuying looked at the ministers, the officials from the Ministry of Punishments, Chengtian Fuyin and several other officials, everyone seemed to be about to walk out, so he quickly came out with the memorial.

"Your Majesty, I have written a memorial for you, Sheng Shuying. I want to accuse my old department of corruption, perverting the law, seeking wealth and killing people. They are even more shameless and even used secret letters to try to protect me. It is an unpardonable crime. I also want to tell myself that I don't know the person. I didn’t discover that my former subordinates had committed such crimes, please ask the Emperor to punish him——”

The person on the dragon chair frowned slightly and looked intently at the minister below. Although there was a little distance, it was obvious that Sheng Shuying was very nervous.

Normally, this kind of matter is submitted directly to the Ministry of Justice. Even if it really needs to be sent to the imperial court, you can go to the imperial study room in the afternoon, but Sheng Shuying is in a hurry and chooses to report it directly at the court meeting?

The emperor's expression became a little intriguing.

"Send it up."

As soon as the emperor spoke, the eunuch took the memorial and delivered it to the emperor. After the emperor browsed it, he looked in the direction of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Si Jingxiu, did you receive a memorial from Yuezhou? Do you know that the case involving Teng Jingcai is involved?"

The Minister of Punishment came out from among the ministers.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has indeed received the relevant memorial, but it has received two letters. Because it involves imperial officials, the first one is already under review and is ready to be discussed with the Supervision Department. Yesterday, another letter was received."

With that said, the Minister of Punishment glanced at Sheng Shuying, and then took out a memorial from his arms.

"I have roughly explained the content. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

"Send it up."

The emperor still said it politely, but after the eunuch delivered the memorial and unfolded it, he began to sit upright and his expression gradually began to change. Then he glanced at Sheng Shuying and snorted in his heart.

"Sheng Aiqing is indeed the pillar of the country, but she just trusted the wrong villain. Maybe Teng Jingcai was still at peace when you were in Wuzhou."

After saying this, the emperor looked at the Minister of Punishment and said calmly.

"A small Wuzhou general magistrate, together with businessmen, harmed so many women from the public, just for the benefit of prostitution? Afterwards, he even hired a demon to use witchcraft to harm people for this matter. I'm afraid the Yuanjiang County Magistrate still has something to worry about. Dare to play it”

Saying this, the emperor looked at the ministers.

"Dare to use witchcraft to harm people, and even those Jianghu people dared to get involved in this matter. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, let me investigate this case carefully. Sheng Aiqing will stay in office for now. If it is not related, of course it will be fine. I won’t accuse you wrongly.”

"I obey the order!"

Several officials responded immediately, and Sheng Shuying on the side broke into a cold sweat when she responded.

The emperor looked down expressionlessly, but apart from the witchcraft incident that disturbed his mood, he also glanced at the memorial to the side again, "A trial of ghosts at midnight?" ——

There was gradually a turmoil in the court, but for the Yuanjiang County Government, life had calmed down, and there had been no further troubles for a month since the night attack.

Yi Shuyuan did not run around during this period. In addition to completing the county annals, he also savored the gains during this period.

In the past month, Yi Shuyuan has lived a life between the dining hall and the library. He has never even been to his dormitory. It is almost an alternative state of seclusion. It was not until today that God finally accepted it.

For Yi Shuyuan today, every gain in practice is worthy of joy, not to mention that self-enlightenment will give him a greater sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go from virtuality to reality. distance.

Sitting in front of the book desk, Yi Shuyuan had already relaxed his previous harvest and flipped through the book given by Huang Hongchuan again. He played with the piece of ebony with his other hand and nourished it with his own spiritual energy.

Although Yi Shuyuan didn't know how to refine weapons, he felt that nourishing them with his own spiritual energy would definitely not go wrong.

Yi Shuyuan could already recite the entire book in front of him, but he still subconsciously turned over it several times.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan was reading a book and recalling all the previous cultivation gains, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with thoughts.

If I can really manifest this way, then in the future, one thought of reality and reality can be transformed into thousands of things in my mind, and illusions born from my mind can be transformed into reality. It should be called a transformation of the earth!

Yi Shuyuan, who had already had half of the experience, couldn't help but smile. There were too many things that he had to learn and adapt to. If he hadn't really practiced martial arts seriously and had reached the innate level of internal strength, So it is still unknown whether this half can be successful.

However, Yi Shuyuan is not impatient, but feels a little contented. Traveling around the world, seeing thousands of people, seeing thousands of things, and being able to follow his own path, why not do it.

"Hey, this is fun! If I, Yi Shuyuan, can do it half a time, I can do it once. If I can do it once, I can do it ten thousand times. Tsk, it seems a little too ambitious."

Talking to himself, Yi Shuyuan suddenly looked towards the door.

After a while, a child arrived nearby. He walked around in the yard, then stood on tiptoe and carefully looked inside the library, only to find that the people inside were also looking outside.

The child suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and walked away.

However, Yi Shuyuan put down the ebony and books and stood up and walked towards the door. He stood in front of the library door and looked at the child who left silently. It was the child he rescued that day.

"Isn't there anyone with you?"

Yi Shuyuan's voice was calm, trying not to scare the other person. The child was about to leave, but stopped when he heard Yi Shuyuan's words, and stood in the corridor about ten steps away, answering awkwardly.

"Just wander around wherever I can go"

The voice had a distinctly non-native accent.

"Have you visited your father?"

The child's expression became a little panicked and scared. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and answered timidly.

"I sent the adults to take me there and said that man is my father. Sir, can I leave?"

"It's okay, you can go."

Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said, the child felt as if he was on the verge of an amnesty and trotted away quickly. He couldn't leave the county office or go to some important places. There weren't that many people to look after him all the time. He could only go where he could by himself. When the time comes, you can go to the dining hall to eat, and you can sleep in the Tongpu.

Yi Shuyuan was thinking about this, but when the child reached the end of the corridor, he was lying behind the pillar and looking here. He seemed to hesitate for a while before finally speaking again.

"Sir, when will my mother come?"

Yi Shuyuan was slightly startled, looked at the child and said.

"Why are you asking me? Other police officers should know more about this matter."

The child opened his mouth and said hesitantly.

"A young man told me that maybe the gentleman here will know."

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, and then waved to the child with a calm expression. The latter hesitated behind the pillar for a while, and finally walked over and arrived in front of Yi Shuyuan.

"Which young master said that?"

"That's the young man who, besides you, is willing to talk to me."

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"I'm not an adult. The young master you are talking about is not from the Yamen, right?"

This child is not allowed to leave the county government office, and he cannot usually see the real officials of the county government office, because he is not allowed to go to those places, and even if he is just an illegitimate child, other officials and the like will probably not want to see him, so he The young master in question may be Chu Hang, who is relatively less prone to subjective emotions.

"I don't know. Sir, when will my mother come?"

The child asked again, with panicked expectation in his eyes. Yi Shuyuan reached out and touched the child's head. The latter obviously wanted to dodge, but he moved but still didn't.

The child's face and hands have a rough complexion, and he does not look like he has lived a wealthy life since he was a child.

Looking at it, intentionally or unintentionally, Yi Shuyuan seemed to see a faint breath changing on the child's head, and even better, he seemed to feel a kind of anxiety that echoed from afar.

This is the heart-to-heart connection between mother and son.

"They, they said something might happen to my mother when I was kidnapped."

The child's voice seemed to be a little choked, which also interrupted Yi Shuyuan's feelings, and he frowned slightly.

"Who told you?"

"No, no one said anything. When I went to bed at night, I heard a few servants in the Tongbu talking quietly on the other side of the bed."

Yi Shuyuan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, your mother is fine. She's worried about you. She'll be here in a while. Go play."

Yi Shuyuan's voice carries a refreshing sense of peace, as if it can naturally convince children.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Surprise showed on the child's face, he bowed several times to Yi Shuyuan, and then trotted away.
