Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

Qu Jie's operation was a huge blow to Master Zixiao and the others. It also made them realize the gap between them and that they were really powerless.

After half a stick of incense, they first went to Emperor Taikang to apologize, and then they all expressed their incompetence and left.

Not only did he leave the palace, he also left the capital.

Even Zixiao Zhenren immediately resigned from office.

Regardless of whether the other party is the Nascent Soul Demon King or possesses any special means or secret techniques, it is undoubtedly certain that they are not opponents. The most important thing is that the other party dares to use these means for a concubine Shu, which undoubtedly means that this means is very effective for the cat demon. It's not difficult.

Even if it cannot be used anytime and anywhere.

It’s not like you can only use it once a year or so.

Instead of waiting for the Queen Mother to die and they still have no choice but to be angered, it is better to leave in advance!

And Emperor Taikang could actually guess something about the situation through their changes in attitude. Although he wanted to get angry and curse, etc., he was unwilling to let them go. He even had the idea of ​​​​killing people to vent his anger, but he knew better that these Taoist monks, even if they were not The cat demon opponent is not a mortal either.

If they really want to go on a killing spree, although it should be possible to use the army, but if they are offended to death, who can guarantee that there will be no ancestors like the cat demon behind them.

Therefore, in the end, he could only let those monks leave and chase back Master Zixiao who resigned from office.

He also repeatedly emphasized that he would never be embarrassed.

Then Master Zixiao came back reluctantly, and the Taoist ceremony was still performed when meeting him, instead of meeting the emperor.

But Emperor Taikang obviously couldn’t care less now:

"Master Zixiao, do you think it's possible for us to negotiate peace with that cat demon now? Whatever it wants, as long as it's not too much, I can give it to it. I can even build a temple for those of the same clan who died for it.

As long as it can let my mother go. "

Although Emperor Taikang also wanted to kill the cat demon immediately, or even crush the opponent to ashes, the key point is not that he does not have this ability. He still understands the principle that those who understand current affairs are heroes. If you can't win, you have to sue for peace, which should be similar to the cat demon.

When paying enough benefits.

There is still hope for peace talks.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If that cat demon had any idea of ​​making peace, he should have made a request long ago.

What's more, if the cat demon hadn't lied, those who died were her biological parents, siblings, and friends, which was almost equivalent to the annihilation of nine tribes.

You might as well put yourself in their shoes and think about it if it were you.

Are you willing to negotiate or seek revenge? "

Perhaps because of his resignation, Master Zixiao not only felt more relaxed, but also became less polite and tactful in his speech.

Emperor Taikang was speechless now.

He really couldn't imagine why the cat demon wanted to make peace.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed into the hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, something happened. Almost countless large curtains suddenly appeared in the sky. Each curtain was several hundred meters in radius. The deceased Old Cheng'en Gong and others all appeared on the curtain.

The curtain was so illusory that it was impossible to hit it! "

Upon hearing this, Emperor Taikang of course hurried out of the hall to see what was going on outside, and Master Zixiao followed curiously.

There is no doubt that Qu Jie did this.

She installed several holographic projectors at an altitude of [-] meters, and used those projectors to project thousands of large screens into the capital. The large screens played the souls of the deceased Duke Chengen and Concubine Shu. The memories extracted from it are, to be more precise, the memories of when the two of them committed evil.

Although the two of them are dead, not only their bodies but also their souls have been destroyed, but not many people actually know about their evil deeds. Qu Jie doesn't want the history books to only record that they were killed by the cat demon.

It just so happened that she could extract their soul memories again.

The evidence is almost conclusive.

Therefore, she specially planned such a public execution for the entire capital to remember the crimes committed by the two people.

It not only includes the murder process of Qu Jie and the other cats, the causes and consequences, but also related matters of other victims. The more than 30 acres of land in the Cheng'en Palace did not fall from the sky. Before the Empress Dowager Ci'en entered the palace, Cheng'en My benefactor is a fortune teller.

Such land can still be inherited from ancestors. It can only be acquired through plunder and annexation in recent decades.

Litigation involving direct or indirect human life.

Not a few.

As the projection continued to play, the people in the capital could be said to be filled with hatred. Some of the victims or relatives of the victims even shouted that God has eyes and the sky is clear, or even called the cat Qingtian.

Emperor Taikang could only be said to be aware of these situations, but he was not that informed. He was informed because he knew that Duke Chengen was not so clean, and also knew that he had engaged in some corruption. But he was not so informed because he did not know that Duke Chengen was so corrupt. It's too much and has harmed so many families.

And even now, he was even more angry at the cat demon who exposed all this, rather than the fact that Duke Cheng'en had done so much evil and harmed so many civilians.

At the same time, he even wanted Master Zixiao to destroy the projection.

However, Master Zixiao didn't even try, so he said that he was powerless, and then walked away, leaving Emperor Taikang alone standing there helpless and furious.

As for preventing the spread of information, don’t let people see it.

Haha, he couldn't even shut up all the eunuchs and maids in the palace without spreading the news, let alone shut up all the people in the capital. The projection in the sky has not yet revealed all the crimes of Duke Chengen and Concubine Shu. After the release, countless scholars and common people surrounded the Chengen Palace and Dali Temple. They threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and other things into the Chengen Palace, demanding that Dali Temple redress their grievances.

For a time, the capital was abuzz and public opinion was in an uproar.

The censors and officials also wrote letters of impeachment.

Emperor Taikang neither wanted to take action against his mother's family when she was on the verge of death, nor wanted to face the officials. In the end, he could only pretend to be ill and refuse to go to court. He did not go to court and did not read the memorial, trying to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The officials of Dali Temple had no choice. After all, without the emperor's will, they had no right to break into the Duke's house and arrest his family, so they could only stand in a stalemate.

But, because the practitioners have basically withdrawn.

No one could help the three sons of Duke Chengen and his wife, and the imperial doctors were helpless. So within three days, the three sons of Duke Chengen died one after another, and their souls were taken away by Qu Jie. , extracting the key information and showing it to the people of the capital.

A few days later, the Queen Mother also passed away.

Emperor Taikang was in great pain and ordered the eunuchs to ring the death knell, go to court again, and declare a period of national mourning.

At this time, Qu Jie was quite timely, and before the court meeting was over, he extracted the key information from the soul of the Empress Dowager Ci'en and released it again.

In order to make it easier for them to watch, Qu Jie was even considerate enough to place several screens directly above and to the left and right of the government hall where they held the court meeting, ensuring that all civil and military officials in the court could clearly see the screen content.

Of course, what was played in it was how many evil things the Empress Dowager Ci'en had done in the harem over the years, how many eunuchs and maids she had killed with the rod, how she tried to poison the other children of the late emperor when he was here, how she protected her son from ascending to the throne, and how many other eunuchs she killed. How many grandchildren and granddaughters.

All the officials who looked at it were dumbfounded.

The father of the former empress, the relatives of the concubines and concubines who had died in the harem and lost their children looked at him with anger and gnashing of teeth.
