Chapter 796 – You still don’t understand?
The impact of this matter was huge, and it greatly exceeded the expectations of all the clans and sects in Jinling that were able to make it onto the stage. Some people felt that this was a good opportunity, while others kept watching. Afterwards, the onlookers felt that they were extremely intelligent, and the people who intervened felt that they were truly, extremely stupid.
It was rumored that when Daoist Chen Liuxi from Hollow Jade Temple returned to the tea garden, the Holy Emperor personally visited the tea garden and ordered the imperial hospital to use the best medicinal pellets to treat Chen Liuxi’s injuries.
Following that, everyone was worried about one thing, Your Majesty … How angry he would be if he was injured, a person he had recently valued and trusted.
However, he didn’t.
When the people from the large clans went to the Holy See to gloat or worry, they would wait for the Holy Emperor’s stern rebuke. However, the Sacred Emperor did not say anything regarding Chen Liuxi, not even mentioning it. This attitude caused everyone to be suspicious. Just what was the Holy Emperor planning to do? Did the Sacred Emperor really think highly of Chen Liuxi?
It wasn’t long before the imperial court was in a state of chaos, yet no one brought up the matter. Even the Sacred Emperor seemed to have forgotten about it. Just as everyone thought that he would return home safely, Wen En suddenly stood out with the imperial edict in his hand, and read it out loud in front of everyone.
Chen Liuxi from the Conferred Jade Temple held great authority for Da Xi.
This was something that had never happened in all these years. Everyone knew that the Saint King liked to use young people with spirit, but there was a limit to it. But on Chen Liuxi, this speed was broken. That was a marquis. Other than those noble officials who were unscrupulous to their ancestors, it had been many years since Da Xi had a marquis. Once this decree was read out, the attitude of the Saint King became extremely obvious.
Yang Wei Hou?
After returning home, the face of the Zhou Family’s Patriarch Zhou Xiangyang turned ugly as if he had eaten sh * t. “Why!?”
He slapped the table. “This man is too arrogant.”
Zhou Xiangyang said angrily, “I personally brought immortal herbs and ten golden cores to visit the tea garden, but was blocked by the people from the Hollow Jade Temple. The people from the imperial palace didn’t stop me, but the people from Hollow Jade Temple did. The most exasperating thing is that I took the gift, but I didn’t see it. ”
His subordinates were all silent, but some people couldn’t help but think, who could they blame for this? What’s the point in sending people to meddle in that matter? They said that it was to blame to Left, but was there still a need to meddle in Left’s current situation?
However, Zhou Xiangyang was the Patriarch, so no one dared to say it out loud.
An old man wearing a black robe waved his hand, “You can all leave first. I’ll have a chat with Owner Dong.”
This old man was not a member of the Zhou family, but his status was clearly very high. In front of this old man, even the arrogant members of the Zhou family had to behave themselves. After he finished speaking, those people immediately left.
“Prison Elder, what solution do you have?”
Zhou Xiangyang asked.
The old man looked like he was in his prime. The wrinkles on his face looked like they were carved by swords. Even the weathered gullies of the Northwest Highlands did not look as wrinkled as the lines on his face. One of his eyes was gray, and there seemed to be a mist in it. The other eye looked normal, but no longer clear.
His body was suffused with an aura of death, as if he would die at any moment. Even if they were slightly closer to him, they would still be stung by the ice-cold feeling emitted from his body.
“What can I do?”
The person who was called Elder Prison laughed. His smile was uglier than a ghost. This face was likassage that he was unwilling to even bring up himself, yet it was deeply branded within the dark recesses of his heart. His smile wasn’t free and unrestrained, but was instead filled with ridicule. It was precisely because of this sense of ridicule that even Zhou Xiangyang himself felt that his ego had been hurt.
Prison Elder said: “The fault lies with you. What’s the point of you throwing a tantrum with someone else? With this world blaming others for their mistakes, it would be better to think of a way to ensure that there were no worries for the future. To be honest, the might of this Hollow Jade Temple has indeed exceeded my expectations. Initially, I thought they were just a bunch of swindlers. Now that there are two or three Lower Celestial Stage Rankers, it would be enough to change the situation of Da Xi. ”
Zhou Xiangyang said: “That’s why I have personally brought back the immortal herbs. I hope we can make up for it.”
“Make up?”
Prison Elder said: “You still don’t know Chen Liuxi’s character? Back then, when the people of Zongshi had provoked him, the Zongshi had disappeared, the white tower view had challenged him, and the white tower view had disappeared. He chased Zhuge Wenyun for thousands of miles to get Zhuge Wenyun’s head back. That idiotic Infinite Palace provoked him and injured one of his disciples. He went back and killed all of the people in the Infinite Palace and destroyed a secret base in the Left. It was said that he stole countless Golden-Rank Spirit Stonnd the Left’s heirloom, the Heaven’s Killing Sword … Furthermore, the Left Sword Spirit has already died in his hands. Do you think that he is someone you can easily reconcile with? ”
Zhou Xiangyang’s expression was extremely ugly, “But Prison Elder, he has already made a mistake, there is always a need to make up for it. It’s been many years since I last saw the Holy Emperor praise a young person like this. That young person is called Fang Zheng. Back then, the Sacred Emperor had actually promoted him from a nobody in the Evidence Department to the Head of the Operations Division, and every two years, he would be promoted to the Head of the Great Western Ming Fa Si … This Chen Liuxi, is even more ridiculous than Fang Zheng!
Prison Elder said: “It’s not that there isn’t a way to break it, your plan was correct from the beginning. Sacrifice two people and let Zhou En and Zhou Ci take the blame. Say that the two of them were bribed by the people of the Left … Of course, no one believes you. If those from the Hollow Jade Temple were to give you face, they would pretend that they believed it and pretend that nothing had happened. After all, Zhou En and Zhou Yong were already dead. If the Hollow Jade Temple does not give you face, even if you can find evidence, they would not take it seriously. ”
“Prison Elder, what should we do now?”
“Not us. The Zhou family has nothing to do with me.”
Prison Elder shook his head and said, “I am only here to stay and have helped you guys a lot. If the Zhou family is unable to withstand this disaster, then I will slip away faster than anyone else. ”
Zhou Xiangyang sighed: “I know that from the beginning, our Zhou Family did not respect you very much. This is my fault. Now that we are on the same boat, Prison Elder, you still have to guide me. ”
Prison Elder said: “Wait a minute, I have no other choice. I have to see what attitude Hollow Jade Temple has towards me. His Majesty’s attitude can’t be clearer, this matter will depend on how many heads Chen Liuxi intends to use to quell his anger. ”
“On what basis?”
Zhou Xiangyang brought up these three words once again.
“On what basis?”
Prison Elder repeated once again, the mocking smile on his face became even wider: “As the master of the family, you actually dare say such words, you really make people look down on you.” For such a large family business like the Zhou family to be handed over to you, I feel heartache and worry for your Zhou family’s ancestors. When a person is strong enough to not need to care about the customs, why would you ask? ”
Zhou Xiangyang said dejectedly: “I just can’t accept it.”
“I’m not satisfied with all of this. There’s something you haven’t made clear yet.”
Prison Elder looked at Zhou Xiangyang, “Have you ever thought about why when you went to court today, your majesty only bestowed Chen Liuxi the title of marquis? According to logic, if the Sacred Emperor truly values this Chen Liuxi that much, he would definitely pursue the matter at Holy See, right? ”
Zhou Xiangyang nodded, “That’s right. At that time, many people were waiting for the Sacred Emperor’s Lightning Fury. I really can’t stand those people’s faces. Their faces are filled with schadenfreude. From time to time, someone would look at me. However, they were disappointed … “His Majesty didn’t say anything, not even a single word. It’s clear that His Majesty has made this matter unmanageable.”
He said proudly, “My Zhou family is a first-rate sect in Da Xi at the very least. We are not something that the crippled Left can compare to. Your Majesty’s thoughts should be... The Left could give up, since he was crippled and had no value for it. However, my Zhou family’s emperor does not dare to move carelessly. After all, one move is enough to move the entire body. “There are so many big families and sects that are closely related to my Zhou family. Once my Zhou family is affected, those families and sects will be affected as well.”
“Right now, it’s an eventful season for Da Xi. We haven’t even managed to deal with the chaos among the various demon beasts. How can His Majesty panic? That’s why I think that the reason His Majesty didn’t say anything about it in the Holy See is because he wanted to consider the bigger picture. ”
Prison Elder did not interrupt Zhou Xiangyang. He only looked at him with a smile. The more Zhou Xiangyang said, the more magnanimous he became. He felt that his idea was right. But he did not know why, but the ridicule on Prison Elder’s face became even stronger. Seeing the mocking smile on that ugly old face, Zhou Xiangyang couldn’t help but want to kill that old thing.
However, he did not dare to do so, nor could he do so. This person had a mysterious background. After staying at the Zhou Mansion, he did indeed do many things for the Zhou Mansion. This person’s ability was too strong. Even though he looked as if he could die at any moment, he was able to communicate with hell. All these years, the Zhou family had done some things in secret that they shouldn’t have, and it was all because of his help that they were able to hide it from others.
Most importantly, this person said that in the future, he could construcassageway to hell and the world. As long as the Zhou family could create a stunning array, they could summon the power of hell through the summoning array. If that was really the case, then forget about the Summoning the Spiritual World, even the high and mighty Sacred Emperor Zhou Xiangyang wouldn’t be able to take him seriously.
“Prison Elder …”
Zhou Xiangyang could not continue: “Did, did I say something?”
Prison Elder laughed and shook his head, “You didn’t say anything. You are stupid, you are an idiot. I even thought about leaving just now. Why would I join hands with a fool like you? “In the future, my big plan will most likely be ruined by your idiocy and your self-righteousness.”
“Prison Elder, you have to treat me with some respect.”
Zhou Xiangyang suddenly stood up, “What exactly do you want to say!?”
Prison Elder let out a long sigh, “Do you know why the Sacred Emperor didn’t say a word about Chen Liuxi in the Holy See and didn’t hold you responsible at all?”
“Didn’t I just say it?”
“No, that’s exactly why you’re stupid. The reason why His Majesty didn’t punish you or even mention a single word about it … It was because he wanted to leave the authority to punish to Chen Liuxi. His meaning was clear, he did not ask for it … Whatever Chen Liuxi does. ”
The Prison Elder’s voice trembled slightly as he said: “You still don’t understand?”
