Chapter 192 Do you know that Kowloon pulls the coffin?

old days.

When Zhu Xiongying was still His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, he lived in the Taisun Mansion.

The old man Liu Bowen has the authority to directly enter and leave the Taisun's mansion, so he doesn't need to report.

But the situation is different now, Zhu Xiongying is not the grandson of the emperor, but is already His Majesty the Emperor of the Ninth Five Years.

The Forbidden City is not Taisun's mansion, even if Zhu Xiongying is the emperor, it is impossible to give a courtier the authority to enter the palace at will, because it will mess up the rules, and it is not in line with the rules of the palace.

Therefore, it took at least a quarter of an hour from Liu Bowen's presentation of the audience to Liu Bowen's final arrival in front of Zhu Xiongying.

After all, Old Man Liu walks slowly, which is well known throughout the court.

Eight 90-year-old old man can understand.

Taking advantage of this quarter of an hour, Zhu Xiongying sized up these young men.

"Chenbei."

Zhu Xiongying looked at the young man standing beside Dao Yan. The young man's long hair was loose, and he had the stern look of a free-spirited swordsman.

"The disciple is here."

Chen Bei bowed and waited to hear.

Just now His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, and the four of them will become His Majesty's direct disciples, so it is understandable for Chen Bei to call himself a 'disciple'.

"I heard that you crawled out of the grave, come, tell me."

Zhu Xiongying vaguely remembered that in the novels he read before he came to this world, there was also a brother who crawled out of the grave, and he was so awesome.

"Return to Your Majesty, disciple, forgot."

Chen Bei said a word.

Dao Yan beside him was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

forget?

You can tell me to forget it, how dare you forget it in front of His Majesty? !

The crime of bullying the king will be beheaded!

In fact, when Dao Yan saw this self-report, he also dragged Chen Bei to a corner to talk alone about this question, and he got the same answer.

However, Dao Yan always thought that Chen Bei was fooling himself, and he was not a person who inquired deeply, so he didn't bother to ask.

"forget?"

Zhu Xiongying's eyes were indifferent, and the emperor's coercion was frightening. He looked at Chenbei.

It was just an ordinary look, and Chen Bei suddenly felt his heart tremble, as if everything about him had been seen through, and cold sweat could not stop oozing from every pore.

'I really forgot. '

Zhu Xiongying's mind-reading skills saw through what was in Chen Bei's mind, and even with a ray of consciousness, he could see through all the experience of this kid in the past ten years.

Judging from the information Zhu Xiongying received.

This kid Chenbei crawled out of the grave when he was seven years old. Since then, he has been wandering around, grazed cattle for the landlord's family, and washed the manger for the rich family. As long as there is food to eat, I will do it.

Until Linggu was popularized in Ming Dynasty, after eating the Linggu rice rewarded by the master, this kid gave birth to Linggen. The local government followed the rules and sent him to Yingtian, where he was included in the Xuantian Supervisor.

And the experience before the age of seven was completely blank, as if it had evaporated from the world.

"It's okay to forget."

Zhu Xiongying's indifferent words revealed the matter.

As for Chen Bei's memory before he was seven years old, Zhu Xiongying plans to take time to study it.

Nothing else, just curiosity.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was not angry, Dao Yan was relieved.

"Evan."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Ye Fan who was standing beside Xiao San again.

"The disciple is here."

Ye Fan also bowed to salute.

"Do you know that Jiulong pulls the coffin?"

Zhu Xiongying asked casually.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was puzzled, including Ye Fan.

I guess everyone is thinking that "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" is a magical thing, and it sounds like a thief.

"Disciple doesn't know."

Ye Fan saluted again.

"Ah."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded lightly.

The reason why he asked this question was to verify whether these two guys had time traveled.

After all, I can wear it myself, even if I can't keep it from other people.

Moreover, Zhu Xiongying seriously doubts that that shitty holy leader in the western world is likely to have time-traveled as well.

At this moment, Liu Bowen walked quickly under the guidance of the palace servants.

Both Dao Yan and Xiao San knew who they were, and after saluting to Zhu Xiongying, they led their respective people to the side and retreated ten feet away.

The discussion between the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor is an absolute top secret of the state, and of course one cannot just listen to it.

"His Majesty."

After Liu Bowen approached, he looked at Dao Yan and Xiao San in the distance with a little surprise, and the few teenagers beside them, but he didn't say anything, just saluted.

"what's up."

Zhu Xiongying stood up and stretched his waist.

"Your Majesty, please see."

Liu Bowen stepped forward quickly, without passing through the hands of the palace servants, but personally handed Zhu Xiongying a memorial.

Zhu Xiongying took the memorial, casually opened it and read it.

After scanning a few lines, His Majesty's eyebrows frowned in a rare way.

This memorial was handed over by Shandong Chief Secretary Chen Dongyang. This Chen Dongyang was the one who was determined to live and die with the city when the Jiujiang River broke its embankment before, and was promoted to Shandong Chief Secretary by Zhu Xiongying on the spot.

As for the content of the memorial, most of what was written was about Zheng Fa's fleet's trial voyage, and the specific content was explained by a navy general named Zhao Cang in the fleet.

"Three islands."

The only valuable part of this memorial, and the part that interests Zhu Xiongying the most, is that in order to find the 'three islands', Zheng Fa continued to sail towards the deep sea despite the dark night and heavy fog.

'Three islands. '

Zhu Xiongying suddenly remembered.

Earlier, when Zhu Laosi was still in the name of Jing Nan, when he led his soldiers to rush into Shandong to rebel, he was at the seaside of Penglai, Shandong, and he did see the illusion of three islands appearing in the sea by chance.

At that time, Zhu Xiongying thought it was a mirage, and he still had a lot of things to do, so he didn't take the three islands to heart, and he just forgot them over time.

Close the memorial.

Zhu Xiongying's thoughts flowed, and with a single thought, the majestic spiritual consciousness instantly covered the entire territory of Daming.

Especially in the Penglai sea area, after the spiritual consciousness skimmed the Penglai offshore sea, it then covered the deep sea at an extremely fast speed.

Whether it is distance or depth, they are all touched at the same time.

however.

After sweeping the consciousness, nothing was found.

'Missing? '

Of course, it couldn't be that Zhu Xiongying's spiritual consciousness didn't cover enough.

The coverage area of ​​Zhu Xiongying's spiritual consciousness is already thousands of miles away from the sea area of ​​Penglai, and it can reach [-] meters deep into the sea.

Even if Xiaobao's boat sails at extreme speed day and night, even if Xiaobao's boat sinks in the middle of the ocean, it is impossible to escape Zhu Xiongying's spiritual detection.

But the fact is that Zhu Xiongying did not detect the trace of Xiaobao's ship.

Xiaobao's boat, like water vapor, disappeared out of thin air.

'Looks like I'll have to go there myself. '

Convinced in her heart that this matter is extremely unusual, after today's matter is over, Zhu Xiongying plans to go to the Penglai waters in person.

"In the name of the cabinet, issue an order to Chen Dongyang, asking him to immediately send an order to the fleet adjutant to let the fleet return immediately."

This is very unusual.

Let this fleet stay in the sea area, lest there be any unexpected troubles.

"Yes."

Liu Bowen nodded.

He didn't go any further on the matter.

Liu Bowen is well aware of His Majesty's behavior style, since His Majesty will not let the court officials handle it, then His Majesty will personally deal with this matter, and there is no need for them as ministers to worry about it.

In other words, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, above this matter, the worries of their ministers are useless, it is beyond the controllable range and beyond their power.

"continue."

Zhu Xiongying said lightly.

Liu Bowen knew Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Xiongying also knew Liu Bowen.

Whether there is anything else, you can see at a glance.

"Your Majesty, Ying Tian Fu Yin submitted a major case to the cabinet. Last night, a village in the northern outskirts of the city caught fire. There were 37 households in the village, with a total of 130 people. All of them were buried in the fire, and none of them survived."

Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly again.

Misfire?

37 households?

130 two mouths?
That is the suburbs, it is a village, and at a glance, it is a large area of ​​open space.

Even if there is a fire, the villagers have a lot of chances to escape. It is absolutely impossible for everyone in a village to die in the flames.

"According to the accounts of the people in nearby villages, they saw blue flames soaring into the sky last night."

Liu Bowen said again.

'Blue flame. '

Zhu Xiongying smiled coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Blue flames, that must be unusual.

"There have been a lot of strange things recently."

"Come and see with me."

A word out.

In an instant, the figures of Zhu Xiongying and Liu Bowen disappeared in place.

And the six people including Xiao San and Dao Yan, who were ten feet away, looked at each other in silence, still obediently waiting in place.

...........................

To the north of Yingtian City, dozens of miles outside the suburbs, is Xinghua Village.

As the name suggests, this village is named after planting apricot flowers, and it also makes a living by planting apricot flowers, so it is called Xinghua Village.

The entire back hill of the village is full of apricot trees planted all over the mountains and plains. This was the case before the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It has been hundreds of years, and it can be said to have a long inheritance.

Thirty percent of the ingredients for Xinghua wine in Gyeonggi come from this small Xinghua village.

However, Xinghua Village at this time is no longer the beauty of the past, and has completely turned into a piece of scorched earth.

"Master Yang, these are the corpses of all the villagers. The ashes are mixed together, so I can't count them clearly."

Open space in the center of the village.

Yang Shiqi frowned, and there were some scattered bones in front of him. Putting these scattered bones together, he couldn't even make up ten corpses.

But Yang Shiqi knew that this was a total of 130 people, the remains of the entire Xinghua Village.

As Yingtian Fu Yin, Yang Shiqi, the local parent official, naturally needed to rush to the scene as soon as possible when such a shocking event happened in the territory under his jurisdiction.

"Have you found any signs of the murderer?"

Yang Shiqi asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, our people have searched a radius of [-] li, and found no trace of the murderer, and the surrounding villages have nothing unusual."

Listening to his subordinate's report, Yang Shiqi felt even more heavy.

What exactly is hatred?

A whole village must be burned!
The person who started this attack has a cruel heart and poisonous methods, which are rare in the world.

"My lord, this is the household registration of 130 villagers in Xinghua Village transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs. According to your order, we have already arrested the traders who have had a bad experience with Xinghua Village, and now all of them are being detained in the government office."

Xinghua Village makes a living by planting apricot flowers, and these apricot flowers are sold to the merchants who make wine.

There is no way to get around the matter of buying and selling.

Naturally, Xinghua Village often has price disputes with vendors who come to purchase, causing conflicts and even hands-on actions.

In the most serious incident ever, some traders gathered more than 30 thugs, wanting to give Xinghua Village a bad start in order to achieve the purpose of lowering prices. Fortunately, the government noticed it and stopped them in time, bringing all these thugs to justice.

Yang Shiqi took the roster of villagers' household registration, looked at the cold names on it, frowned, puzzled.

Just relying on the interests and grievances in the transaction price, why burn a village?

Just when Yang Shiqi couldn't figure out the motive of the murderer, two figures appeared in front of him.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

After Husky saluted His Majesty the Emperor, he looked at Liu Bowen who was aside.

"teacher."

Liu Bowen nodded with a smile.

Previously, Liu Bowen accepted San Yang as his disciple according to Zhu Xiongying's intention. According to his status, this Yang Shiqi was his first disciple.

During the period when Liu Bowen was in charge of the court, in addition to the government affairs, there was another important task, which was to train San Yang into a minister who could stand on his own and support the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at the village. Rows of houses had been completely burned to black charcoal. Because the fire was not contained in time, even the large apricot trees on the back mountain were completely burned.

This means that the price of apricot blossom wine in Gyeonggi is likely to increase.

His eyes swept over the ashes on the ground again.

In the eyes of the archmage, a ray of coldness flashed across.

In the land he ruled, such bizarre things still happened, and 130 people died tragically for no reason.

"I want to see who dares to make trouble under my nose."

Zhu Xiongying snorted coldly.

In an instant, the whole village began to evolve.

The houses that were burnt into carbon black were quickly restored, and all the ashes on the ground were returned. Everything...

From the perfect state last night, it started to be reinterpreted bit by bit, like watching a movie backwards.

Liu Bowen and Yang Shiqi, who were behind him, were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

Everyone was amazed in their hearts, His Majesty the Emperor is even better than before!
........................

at the same time.

The Forbidden City, Ziwei Hall, Zhaixing Tower.

Arya, who was sore all night, slowly woke up at this time.

"How can this man be so powerful..."

Alicia couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Same as yesterday, getting out of bed, wearing silk and walking up to the star picking platform, blowing the warm wind can make people wake up a lot.

Standing by the railing, Arya couldn't help recalling what happened last night, that hearty battle, her cheeks couldn't help but blush again.

She found that her mind was full of images of that man.

"Arya."

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind.
