The first corrupt emperor [crossing]

After a rain, there were several consecutive days of big sun. Dozens of Gu victims were still locked in the stuffy tents. The wounds on their bodies were only treated briefly, and they were more or less festering.

People passing by the door can smell the peculiar smell.

Lu Song was helpless, so he had no choice but to ask Qin Zheng, "Your Majesty, if those who have been infected by the voodoo are not dealt with, I'm afraid there will be a plague."

Qin Zhengdao: "The person sent out to find Cui He's successor is already on his way, and he will be back tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Song hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to meet you?"

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Let Chu Yingjie go. They encountered plots on the way, and the closer they got to the barracks, the more powerful the killer would be. Chu Yingjie's martial arts is very high and there are few opponents."

"Yes."

Hearing the footsteps of Lu Song leaving, Gu Mingzhe looked down at the booklet in his hand, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that Chu Yingjie will rebel?"

Qin Zheng squinted at the brochure and said, "This is his final test. Anyway, there are emissaries and martial arts masters secretly escorting him along the way, so nothing will go wrong."

Gu Mingzhe suddenly raised his head and met Qin Zheng's furtive gaze, "What are you looking at?"

Qin Zheng looked away as if nothing had happened, "What book did the Mingcha envoy send you? You read it so enthusiastically."

Gu Mingzhe put the booklet in his hand on the table, pushed it in front of Qin Zheng, and said with a smile: "Don't you know? I thought you asked the Mingcha envoy to find it."

Qin Zheng took a breath, flipped through the book casually, and saw a series of male and female sex palaces in his eyes.

He closed the booklet, looked at Gu Mingzhe and said, "How could I let them find this?" Damn Mingchashi, didn't he let them hand the book directly into his hands?

"Oh——" Gu Mingzhe elongated his voice meaningfully, "But they said they would present it to you directly."

Qin Zheng stared into Gu Mingzhe's eyes, and said without blinking: "Probably they want to please me."

Gu Mingzhe sighed softly, "To please a person is to choose what he likes."

"..." Qin Zheng bowed his head and threw the booklet aside.

Gu Mingzhe pursed his lips for a while, then continued: "It's not that you are not allowed to see it, but the real ones are all in the palace. Didn't the nanny give it to you? Go back and watch that."

Qin Zheng's cheeks became hot, and he thought to himself, that book was torn up by himself, and I don't know if there is a backup in the palace?

The soldier guarding the gate bowed his head and walked in, "Your Majesty, Senior Liu please see me."

"Senior Liu, please come in." Qin Zheng unhurriedly picked up a memorial and pressed down the Spring Palace Book.

Liu Baisheng walked in unkempt, with a tired look on his face, and was refreshed after seeing Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng looked at Liu Baisheng, raised his hand and said, "Senior Liu, please sit down, I've worked hard for you these two days, but is there something wrong?"

Liu Baisheng randomly found a stool and sat down, and said with a smile, "I saw that Yingjie was sent out by His Majesty, so I have something I want to discuss with Your Majesty."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "But it's okay." Liu Baisheng and Chu Yingjie seem to be familiar?

Liu Baisheng said: "Yingjie is actually my apprentice. I was worried that if he exposed his identity, he would get into trouble in the arena, so I didn't let him tell."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Why did senior say that now?"

Liu Baisheng said: "Now I want to let His Majesty know. Yingjie has a lenient heart, but I have seen it clearly in the past two days. His Majesty sent someone to monitor him, probably because of his identity."

Qin Zheng smiled slightly, "Since you know that the person is from Zhen, you should keep it in your heart."

Liu Baisheng shook his head and said, "I'm an old man. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I have nothing to say. It's just that Yingjie is stubborn, and now he is only thinking of serving the court and repaying your kindness. He will definitely not." Listen to my opinion and abandon the official position. As his master, I have no choice but to come and explain clearly to His Majesty in person, hoping to ease His Majesty's suspicions, so that Yingjie will not die unclearly in the officialdom."

Qin Zheng said calmly, "I will never forget the kindness my senior taught me, but just because Chu Yingjie is my half-senior brother, I can't easily believe that he has no intention of betraying prosperity and returning to Yu."

Liu Baisheng said: "I watched Yingjie grow up, and I know every word and deed clearly. Of course, I won't make His Majesty believe him because of this, but can His Majesty take the face of what I taught you? Promise me one condition, no matter how suspicious Your Majesty may be in the future, please don't hurt his life?"

Qin Zheng suddenly smiled and said: "Senior, you are serious. I just want to test him. I have always been an open-minded person. When this matter is over, I will entrust him with important responsibilities."

Liu Baisheng's expression didn't change. If the emperor had an open mind, when he beat him during the day, he wouldn't beat him back when he was sleepwalking.

Gu Mingzhe coughed lightly and said, "If Senior Liu can trust me, I can guarantee that as long as Chu Yingjie has no dissent, His Majesty will never hurt Chu Yingjie."

Liu Baisheng smiled and said, "Thank you. In the early years, Yingjie and I shared a lot of anecdotes about Jianghu, but just now he suddenly remembered a past event from a hundred years ago, and he had no time to tell His Majesty, so he had to let me pass it on."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Please tell me."

"Hundreds of years ago there was a cult called Qianming Sect. The people in the sect mainly practiced Gu insects, but a hundred years ago..." Liu Baisheng explained how Qianming Sect was destroyed and how it was established. Let's talk about the curses one by one.

After hearing this, Qin Zheng was silent for a long time, and said, "Thank you for telling me, senior."

Such an important matter, if Chu Yingjie knew that he should have thought of it long ago, it is impossible to think of it now, so it should be Liu Baisheng who decided to say it in order to give Chu Yingjie a credit, and Qin Zheng did not intend to expose him. also good.

Chu Yingjie was riding a fast horse, and the cool wind passed by his ears, but his ears were still hot and red like fire. He touched his ears, and lashed his whip to speed up to meet him.

After a day and night, Chu Yingjie returned to the barracks with a few people in the evening of the next day, and the bloody smell all over his body showed the hardships of the journey.

Chu Yingjie got off his horse, handed the reins to the soldier beside him, turned around and said to the middle-aged man behind him, "Please follow me to see Your Majesty, sir."

Cui Zian wiped his face, calmed down, smiled and nodded.

Chu Yingjie sent Cui Zi'an to Qin Zheng, saved his life, and went back to bandage the wound.

Qin Zheng looked at the middle-aged man in his forties in front of him. He looked at the bright red cloth bag on Cui Zian's green gown. This match... must be a person with personality.

Cui Zian saluted and said: "Cui Zian, a grassroots man, pays his respects to His Majesty."

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite, just go all the way, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Zian sat on the stool next to him and glanced at Gu Mingzhe who was sitting next to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is not an outsider, so he can listen to anything he can say to me."

Cui Zian observed Qin Zheng's expression, and said in silence for a moment: "Your Majesty, you hurriedly called Cao Min over, but it was because of the matter of the former emperor?"

"..." Qin Zheng nodded with his expression unchanged, secretly thinking that the former emperor really had a secret, and the original owner, the little emperor, seemed to know it very well.
