Chapter 1348: Evolution of the Vajra Finger
The interrogation of the guards went smoothly and confessions were soon presented.
Zhang Tuohai took the confessions and compared them.
The contents of almost all the confessions were similar, and everyone had made their best efforts to survive.
"Those who gave this confession and their families will be detained in a private jail to await their fate. The rest will be killed!"
Zhang Tuohai threw the confession to Li Qingyuan and said casually.
Following Zhang Tuohai's orders, heads were chopped off one after another.
"What should we do with the bodies? Take them to a mass grave?"
Haruyuki came over and asked.
"This is how we deal with the bodies. The heads are pickled in lime and stuck on spears. Several are placed in each courtyard so that everyone knows the consequences of betraying the Qin Palace."
Zhang Tuohai glanced at everyone present and said.
He needed to let everyone see with their own eyes the fate of the traitors, and only blood could make people remember it deeply.
After all those who needed to be killed had been killed, there was no need for Zhang Tuohai and Li Qingyuan to stay at the scene any longer.
There will naturally be someone dedicated to handle the follow-up matters.
Zhang Tuohai and Li Qingyuan returned to the room.
"These people were actually bribed and sent by the Prime Minister's Office to infiltrate. Why did Prime Minister Cao do this to me?"
Li Qingyuan was extremely puzzled when he read the confessions of these people.
"Either this Prime Minister Cao has long felt that you are wrong, or he treats everyone like this."
"Anyway, no matter what his idea is, this guy has big plans."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"I really want to know what he is thinking."
Li Qingyuan sighed.
"That's easy. Just arrest him and ask him in person, won't we know?"
"He is the prime minister. I'm afraid we can't arrest him based on just these few confessions."
Li Qingyuan said while holding the confession in his hand.
"Don't worry. When midnight comes, the certification will be delivered to your door. Arrest them all together, and you will have all the certification evidence."
Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
"However, the emperor is in seclusion. The Ministry of Justice cannot arrest the prime minister alone. We do not have the power to do so."
Li Qingyuan was a little worried.
"What a joke! You are the crown prince. How can a mere prime minister restrain you? Before the emperor comes out of confinement, you are the boss. When the emperor comes out of confinement, as long as you have enough evidence, what else can he say? Punishing you for a prime minister?"
Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
"Prime Minister, to be honest, he is just a high-ranking servant working for your family. Don't think too highly of him."
"If he confronts the emperor face to face, I'm afraid the situation will get out of control. After all, he has been in the court for many years and has many followers..."
Li Qingyuan was still a little worried.
"Why should he meet the emperor?" Zhang Tuohai asked puzzledly.
"Isn't this the rule?" Li Qingyuan asked back.
"The Prime Minister tried to flee for fear of punishment, and before escaping he also tried to assassinate the Crown Prince, but was killed on the spot by the guards. According to the law, anyone who tried to assassinate the Crown Prince will have his entire family executed, and his entire clan will be exterminated! By then, his entire family will be dead, and no one will confront you, so you can have your say."
Zhang Tuohai shook his head helplessly.
Li Qingyuan is good in every way except that he is too soft-hearted and too used to doing things according to the rules.
No courage to break the rules.
This kind of person is suitable for maintaining the status quo, but not for pioneering.
"Is this really possible?" Li Qingyuan didn't quite believe what he heard.
These were things she would never dare to imagine in her dreams.
"Why not? If I follow my method, I will be able to quell the civil unrest in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, if Prime Minister Cao is allowed to live, his followers will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and then it will be difficult to end."
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
Li Qingyuan thought about it and decided to follow Zhang Tuohai's idea.
"However, we just made such a big fuss, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion must have known about it. Will they still come?"
Li Qingyuan was a little worried.
"Don't worry. With such a big commotion, they should come. They must want to know what happened. They will definitely look for you, the person closest to them, to get first-hand information. They will definitely not miss this opportunity."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Okay, so what should we do now?"
Li Qingyuan took a deep breath.
"Now, take a break."
Zhang Tuohai was sitting cross-legged in meditation, seemingly practicing breathing techniques, but actually adding some points.
After strolling around outside for a long time today and meeting so many people in the General's Mansion, Zhang Tuohai gained a lot of skills and techniques.
Although Zhang Tuohai doesn't think highly of many of them, they can still be exchanged for attribute points.
Now Zhang Tuohai has more than 800 attribute points in his hands.
Zhang Tuohai first mastered the Vajra Finger skill.
After digging out three bedrooms and a living room under Li Qingyuan's bed, Zhang Tuohai felt more and more that this martial art had some value.
Directly upgrade this skill to the maximum level.
After completing the practice of the Vajra Finger, he was just about to change to another technique when he suddenly discovered that this technique had changed.
[Congratulations on practicing the "Vajra Finger" to the state of returning to the original state, and comprehending the true meaning of the "Vajra Finger". The "Vajra Finger" has transformed into the "Star Pointing Finger". ]
[《Pointing Star Finger》: A cultivation technique that condenses the Qi in the body into Qi to attack the enemy from a distance. The more condensed the Qi is, the greater the power.]
"Another cultivation technique?"
Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up. He was going to raid the Prime Minister's Mansion later, and this attacking technique came at the right time.
Judging from the description, this technique is extremely powerful.
However, as a cultivation technique, the proficiency required for this technique is also enormous.
Zhang Tuohai took a deep breath and converted all the remaining attribute points into proficiency.
In one fell swoop, he pushed the "Star Pointing Finger" to the maximum level.
After practicing the "Star Pointing Finger" to the fullest, Zhang Tuohai opened his eyes, glanced at the decoration in the room, and prepared to find a place to test the power of the new technique.
After searching for a long time, he finally set his eyes on the blue bricks on the ground.
"That's you."
Zhang Tuohai stretched out one hand and pointed at the blue bricks on the ground.
A stream of energy shot out from Zhang Tuohai's fingertips and sank into the blue bricks.
Zhang Tuohai came to Qingzhuan and observed.
At this time, a round hole as thick as a thumb appeared on the blue brick.
The round hole was as smooth as a mirror, with flat edges. The depth went straight through the blue bricks and sunk into the soil below, more than three feet deep.
"Isn't this power at least comparable to that of a light machine gun?"
Zhang Tuohai evaluated the power of "Star-Pointing Finger".
"This is just the power of ordinary true qi. If you learn the Qi Gathering Method and cultivate a more advanced spiritual energy and true essence, will it be more powerful?"
Zhang Tuohai became more and more looking forward to the "Gas Collection Method".
Just then, the sound of the night watchman's clapper was heard outside.
It's midnight.
Zhang Tuohai opened his eyes and looked at Li Qingyuan.
Li Qingyuan nodded, hid a soft sword at his waist, pushed the door and walked out.
Zhang Tuohai followed from a distance behind, ready to fish those guys out together.
