Chapter 13 The Nether Emperor

The prince incident came to an end. Bao Zheng wanted to bring down the King of Xiangyang, but because he had no evidence, he ordered me to investigate secretly. I also knew from the memory of my previous life that the evidence of King Xiangyang's rebellion was in the Sky Tower.

Bai Yutang was buried in the Skyscraper Tower for the evidence of King Xiangyang's rebellion. At that time, I felt sorry for Bai Yutang.I didn't expect that this time it would be up to me to find the evidence of King Xiangyang's treason. There are many traps in the Sky Tower, and even Bai Yutang, who was proficient in traps, was buried in the Sky Tower. It seems that this Sky Tower is not easy.Now that I have come to this dynasty, I don't want Bai Yutang to be buried in the Sky Tower. It seems that I have to make some preparations.

On the empty island, Bai Yutang just came back from the outside, and saw some servants on the island discussing something with paper money (the money used by the dead) in their hands.Bai Yutang felt a little strange, so he asked those servants: "Why are you holding paper money, who is dead?"

"Fifth Master, this is paper money dropped by the Emperor Youming. Out of curiosity, we picked it up and are studying it." One of the servants replied.

"The Son of Heaven?"

When Zhaozhao and I were patrolling the streets in Kaifeng Mansion, we also picked up some paper money on the road and took them back to Kaifeng Mansion.

"The Son of Heaven?"

"My lord, this subordinate of Emperor Youming saw him once when he went to Miss Min and the prince last time. At that time, his subordinates notified the local government to investigate the matter. Unexpectedly, this Emperor Youming appeared again."

"What does the Nether Emperor do? Could it be some kind of cult!" Bao Zheng looked at the paper money in his hand and asked Zhaozhao with a puzzled face.

"My lord, according to the people who picked up the paper money, 'Emperor Youming is spreading the heresy that the Son of Heaven is about to appear, and the man's life is approaching. It is not an ordinary folk cult." Mr. Gongsun said.

"It's another conspiracy, the crown prince, the King of Xiangyang, and the Emperor Youming. Could it be that this matter has something to do with the conspiracy in the court? Guard Zhan, Guard Yan, go and find out this matter quickly, maybe the answer to all these mysteries lies in the Emperor Youming." Unknown."

"Subordinates follow orders." Zhao Zhao and I took Bao Zheng's orders. 'This Bao Zheng seems to be very smart, and he thought of Emperor Youming so quickly. '

It was night, Zhao Zhao and I were walking on the street, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, incense sticks and candles were burning on both sides of the street, and paper money was flying all over the street.

"Zhaozhao, the street is too weird tonight, full of things worshiping the dead. And look, the doors and windows of the houses on both sides are closed, it's too strange." The quietness on the street at this time is a little scary.

"Haoyue, it's really weird here. Um~shh, it seems that someone is coming, let's hide first." I nodded, and then I hid with Zhao Zhaofei on an unknown pavilion, where I could see clearly The situation on the street is not afraid of being discovered.Just when Zhao Zhaofei and I were on the pavilion, Bai Yutang also flew onto the pavilion, which surprised Zhaozhao and me.

"Shh~ Don't be nervous, it's me, Bai Yutang." I smiled at Bai Yutang, but didn't say anything.

"How did you come?"

"Joke, you can come, why can't I?"

"But……"

"Hey, if you talk about government affairs again, I'll make trouble with you. Believe it or not, and don't forget, the emperor has conditions for me to make meritorious deeds."

"Okay, Zhao Zhao. He will come when he comes. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, it's fine. We're handling a case now, so stop arguing, you two, and listen carefully."

At this time, I only heard shouts from far away on the street, and after a while, I saw a group of people appearing on the strange street, just like the emperor's ostentation.

"Hey~ tell me, who the hell is he? He used such a big show to make it look like the emperor is on a tour." According to the memory of my previous life, I know that this is the King of Xiangyang, but there is no evidence, so I can only put this Things are boring in my heart.Zhao Zhao shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know, the light is too dark for me to see clearly."

"It doesn't matter, if you catch him, the truth will be revealed, come on!"

"Wait a minute." Zhao Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang's wrist.

"We can't underestimate the enemy, and be careful of his ways."

"You officials, everything you encounter is your mother-in-law's business. If you don't go, I will go." As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, he flew down from the pavilion, ready to catch the mysterious person in the sedan chair, Zhao Zhaola Can't live in Bai Yutang.

"Zhao Zhao, it's not that you don't know that that rat is impatient. He said that the wind is the rain, and we can't stop him. We have to accept our fate and hope that nothing happens when he is here tonight." Zhao Zhao nodded. Accept fate.

We just finished talking, Bai Yutang rushed towards the person in the sedan chair, and fought a few tricks with the person in the middle, but he was defeated.It can be seen from this that Bai Yutang underestimated the enemy.He was beaten back by the person in the sedan chair.

"Bai Yutang", Zhao Zhao and I also flew down the pavilion, and Zhao Zhao took over Bai Yutang who was blown away.

"Bai Yutang, you're injured." I watched Bai Yutang vomit blood, and there was a murderous look in my eyes, but I quickly covered it up.Once again, someone I cared about was hurt in front of me. The first time was Zhao Zhao, this time it was Bai Yutang, so who will it be next time.King Xiangyang and Tu Shan don't have the right time yet, when the time comes, I will definitely make your life worse than death.It seems that I should also show some strength.

"It doesn't matter to me, it's your government's business now, don't let him run away." Bai Yutang wiped the corner of his blood-stained lips with his sleeve, I looked at that trace of red and felt it was particularly glaring.

"Zhao Zhao, you stay here and take care of Bai Yutang, and I'll fight with this shameful man in the sedan chair."

"Okay, Haoyue, you have to be careful yourself." I nodded to Zhaozhao, raised my sword and fought the man in the sedan chair. Few people can match my martial arts, let alone I have The spell that Yuelao taught me, but it is a pity that the spell cannot be used on mortals, otherwise... But the man in the sedan chair still couldn't beat me, so the man in the sedan chair soon showed his disadvantage, and he was about to take him down .Unexpectedly, a puff of smoke suddenly burst out from the sedan chair, and after the smoke cleared, the group of people just disappeared.

I paid off and came to Zhaozhao and the others: "Bai Yutang, how are you doing? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay, Yan Haoyue, why didn't you catch that mysterious person, maybe you can find some clues from this person."

"Well, what can I do? You just saw that man's martial arts are inferior to mine. I thought I could catch him, but I didn't expect him to have a smoke bomb. With that smoke, he disappeared. .” I looked at Bai Yutang and the others helplessly.

"Okay, since that mysterious man has escaped, we will also go to Kaifeng Mansion! What's more, Bai Yutang is also injured. Although the injury is not serious, it still needs to be recuperated." Zhao Zhao stopped my conversation with Bai Yutang .I glanced at Bai Yutang and nodded in agreement with Zhaozhao's opinion. We supported Bai Yutang and walked slowly towards Kaifeng Mansion.

We went back to Kaifeng Mansion and met Bao Zheng. "Zhan Huwei, Yan Huwei, what's wrong with Bai Shaoxia, why did you help him back."

"My lord, when we were investigating the Nether Emperor, we encountered a mysterious man, and Bai Yutang was injured while fighting with that mysterious man, and I beat him away later."

"Oh~ Who is it that can injure Bai Shaoxia? Mr. Gongsun, please help Bai Shaoxia to see if he is seriously injured." Mr. Gongsun on the side nodded and watched for Bai Yutang.after awhile

"My lord, Young Master Bai's injury is not serious, but he still needs to stay in the house to recuperate for a few days." Bao Zheng nodded.

"Oh! Don't be like this. I know my own injuries. It's nothing wrong with me. I don't want to stay in the house! But it's a pity that I didn't catch that mysterious man." Bai Yutang didn't catch him. He gritted his teeth against the mysterious man, his face was full of unwillingness, and Zhaozhao and I were amused seeing Bai Yutang's appearance.

"My lord, although we didn't catch that mysterious man, with my eyesight, when I was fighting him, I vaguely saw that mysterious man. He looks like a person."

"Oh~ who does he look like?" I saw Bao Zheng and the others looking at me suspiciously.

"Prince Xiangyang, that person looks like King Xiangyang." Bao Zheng and the others looked at each other, feeling incredible.

"Also, I'm sure that the guard of honor of the mysterious man that I, Zhan Zhao, and Bai Yutang saw is the Son of Nether that is now rumored among the people."

"Report to my lord." At this moment, the dynasty outside the house came in.

"what's up?"

"Long live, a secret decree has arrived, order Master Bao to go to the Peony Pavilion in the Imperial Garden to see him."

"My minister Bao Zheng sees you, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Bao Qing is flat"

"Long live thanks"

"Bao Qing, do you know why I secretly summoned you here to meet?"

"I'm ignorant, please tell me long live."

"Bao Qing, do you know that there are people everywhere in my harem, and they are planning to harm the prince and sister Lan."

"Oh~ there is such a thing?"

"Bao Qing, please think about it for me. Who is planning to do something wrong? Fortunately, Bao Qing, you let Ge Qing secretly protect Concubine Lan and the others in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Last time I suspected Tu Shan, but there was no evidence, but he I have also restrained a lot, so who is it this time?"

"This... Since Long Live asked, I happen to have a book to start with."

"Speak quickly"

"Minister Zunzhi, Chenqi Long live, recently a conspiracy organization that claims to be the Nether Emperor has emerged among the people, spreading rumors everywhere that the Song Dynasty is about to perish and the real emperor is about to appear. Weichen immediately ordered Zhan Weiwei and Yan Weiwei to go to investigate. When we arrived at Young Master Bai, we investigated the case together, but who knew that Young Master Bai and the Emperor Youming fought, and as a result, Young Master Bai was injured, and in the end the Emperor Youming was beaten by Yan Huwei so that he escaped with a smoke bomb."

"Oh~ Bai Yutang is injured, Bao Qing, go on."

"Zunzhi, when Mr. Gongsun was treating Bai Shaoxia just now, Yan Huwei said that the appearance of the Nether Emperor seems to be..."

"Like who?"

"Long live, Yan Huwei said, when Yan Huwei was fighting with the Nether Emperor, he instantly saw the face of this person—it was somewhat similar to that Xiangyang Prince."

"King Xiangyang, could it be him? He is so old, even if he wins the Song Dynasty, he will have a few more years to sit on. This matter does not make sense, I can't believe it."

"Long live, I dare to say frankly that when it comes to inheritance, among the royal families, only the prince and the grandson of the prince of Xiangyang can be the choice for the heir. If the prince suffers from misfortune, the heir is not the little prince (the grandson of the king of Xiangyang) No doubt, one day when he takes the throne, the Prince of Xiangyang will become the Supreme Emperor." At this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly realized that Concubine Lan has given birth to a prince for him in the harem so far, and Concubine Xuan gave birth to a princess a few days ago. Looking at my own harem, those concubines who were pregnant either accidentally had a miscarriage or died suddenly.I have never cared about it before. After being reminded by Bao Zheng, Zhao Zhen raised his vigilance. It seems that he should check it out. Fortunately, there is a secret guard trained by my elder brother (Yan Haoyue). question.

"Assassin, protect the emperor" the piercing cry of Zhao Zhen's accompanying eunuch rang out.Bao Zheng also stepped in front of Zhao Zhen to protect Zhao Zhen, shouting "Protect the Emperor".At this time, the Prince of Xiangyang heard the news and brought his own guards to escort him. Soon the assassins were killed by the guards brought by the Prince of Xiangyang, and the Prince of Xiangyang was stabbed by the assassins.

"I'm late to rescue you, long live forgive me." Zhao Zhen and Bao Zheng glanced at each other and remained silent.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Zhen summoned Bao Zheng alone: ​​"Facts have proved that the King of Xiangyang has no intention of rebellion. Otherwise, he would not have heard the news and came to save you—Bao Qing, you should go and investigate this matter again!" "

"The minister obeys the order, the minister retire!"
