The Legend of Xianyu

The slender fingers unconsciously gently flipped the paperwork in his hand, as if each page contained his hard work and efforts. Fingertips caressing the paper, like a reader caressing his beloved ancient books, with awe and imagination.

Above the Northern Qi court, the atmosphere was tense and heavy. Emperor Qi bowed his head and pondered, his face solemn, like the top of a mountain. The surrounding officials trembled one by one, for fear that they would become the target of Emperor Qi's venting. Because they knew that since His Majesty accepted that demon concubine, their mood had become more and more uncertain, and at this time, Shen Chongtian, the commander of the Golden Sword Guard who had been questioned, was even more pale, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Shen Chong, as the commander of the Golden Sword Guard, you actually have a number of murders in Tiandu City one after another, do you have any explanation?" Emperor Qi's voice was awe-inspiring, like thunder.

Shen Chongtian subconsciously lowered his head, and his throat was dry, he knew that this time the rebuke was not ordinarily serious. This is not just a few ordinary murder cases, but a major case that happened in a series in the capital, shocked the government and the opposition, and made the people panic.

"Your Majesty, the minister really didn't deduce who the murderer was, but the minister has mobilized the Golden Sword Guard to launch an investigation with all his might, and I believe that there will be a result soon. Shen Chongtian endured the panic in his heart and reluctantly spoke.

"Mobilize all your strength, your Golden Sword Guard has actually achieved nothing in the past few days, what can you say?" Emperor Qi's anger did not subside, but became more intense.

At the same time, some of the surrounding officials who were already at odds with Shen Chong chimed in: "Your Majesty, the command of this golden sword guard is conceited and incompetent, causing chaos in the sky. The top priority was to thoroughly rectify the Golden Sword Guard in order to maintain the majesty of the imperial court. "

"The Imperial Doctor Zhang Yitian implored His Majesty to investigate Shen Chong's dismissal, and find another capable person to take his place to find out the case."

"Doctor Chen Guanglu, Liu Yun seconded the proposal".

"Seconded by the minister".

It may be that the Golden Sword Guard is too arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and the trees are falling and scattered, and for a while, the wind of the court falling down is getting louder and louder.

Shen Chong's heart froze, and he felt the undercurrent surging behind him, and it was difficult to respond for a while. At this moment of rumour, Taishi Sima Lan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, things may not be as simple as they seem on the surface. The minister believes that this series of murders may be a conspiracy of the remnants of treason. "

Emperor Qi frowned slightly, and his gaze turned to Sima Lan: "What is the basis for this?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has received reliable information that there are a number of remnants in the capital, and the initiator of this series of murders is the remnants of the Han clan's treason, who disturb order in this city and try to fish in troubled waters to rescue criminals. "

"And most of the victims this time are the dark lines found by Wei Chen, I wanted to use these dark lines to help find out these remnants, but I didn't expect them to strike first and take the initiative to provoke the imperial court without a king's law, it's really hateful!" Sima Lan's tone was firm and his expression was solemn.

Emperor Qi looked puzzled, but he also felt Sima Lan's firm attitude. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Sima Lan, do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the Golden Sword Guard should be rectified internally first, and the traitors should be investigated. At the same time, the minister has sent credible people to infiltrate the forces of the remnants of the treason, and as soon as there is news, he will report it to His Majesty as soon as possible. Sima Lan respectfully suggested.

Emperor Qi thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay, according to what you said, first rectify the Golden Sword Guard and find out if there are any internal ghosts." As for the remnants of treason, you must step up your investigation, and as soon as there are clues, report them to the imperial court immediately. "

When Shen Chong heard this, a wave of gratitude swelled up in his heart. At the same time, he also felt that he had made the right decision earlier.

In the prison, Shen Chong stood in a dimly lit corner, holding a whip, surrounded by various torture instruments, and the piercing sound of clanging filled the air. His eyes were cold, and he looked at Han Kelong who was imprisoned in chains.

Han Kelong stood with his head upright, although his face could not hide his tiredness, his eyes still revealed an unyielding firmness. Shen Chong sneered, the whip in his hand was pulled down violently, and the iron chain on the torture instrument trembled lightly in the sound of breaking through the air.

Smack! Smack!

The sound of whips on flesh was constantly heard in the cell

Han Kelong, do you think you can escape here? Shen Chong said indifferently, his voice echoing in the cell like the roar of a vicious beast.

Han Kelong raised his head slightly, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through Shen Chong's thoughts. He replied without fear: I don't know why you have such a leisurely and elegant way to come here to torture me, but I know that you are so angry, and something very bad has happened outside.

Shen Chong smiled gloomily, and the whip in his hand shook even more violently. He paced over to Han Kron and whapped him the back. Han Kelong gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but a cold determination flashed in his eyes.

Han Kelong, don't be too confident. Here, I can always make you experience something more painful than that. When I catch your companions, they will all let out a terrible wail here, and I will make them desperate for life, and their voices will be full of menace.

Han Kelong lowered his head slightly, as if he was touched by Shen Chong's words. However, after a moment, he looked up, and the determination in his eyes still did not fade.

Your methods will only make me stronger, if you can do it, just do it, you better not let me out alive, if you let me out alive, you will definitely die. Han Kelong's tone was resolute.

"I'm going to die?hahahaha, this is really the best joke I've ever heard today, a prisoner of the rank intimidating and torturing his criminal officer?".

Shen Chong picked up the whip angrily, and a series of whips fell on Han Kelong's body. Han Kelong was beaten and bruised, but his gaze remained resolute. In the prison, the atmosphere became more and more tense, as if there was an invisible oppressive force permeating the cell.

"Anyway, your father looked down on me when he was in the Golden Sword Guard, and now you have become a prisoner and still look down on me, you father and son really don't know whether to live or die, I forgot to tell you that I was the one who was responsible for strangling your entire Han family that night."

"It's really miserable, the spear of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the past, the world-famous Zhenwu Marquis Pojun Gun did not die in the war with the Golden Horde, but died tragically in the country, except for you, no one in the whole clan is alive."

"You bastard!".

On the chain, Han Kelong struggled frantically, his eyes bloodshot and roared towards Shen Chong.

"Anyway, you will be sentenced to death in two days, I heard that your Han family's broken military gun is with your hands, right? If I chop off your hands before this, you should be very happy."

Shen Chong picked up a blunt knife next to him with a cruel smile and walked towards Han Kelong
