Chapter 385: Karma Killing (4)
Wu Youwei knelt down.
The first-rate officials he summoned, such as the Tianxingtai and Yuzhou's Chief Justice, also knelt down.
A large group of eunuchs and palace maids from the Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty rushed over with clothes and were busy treating the young girls in the pavilion who had not yet woken up.
These young ladies were tortured and covered in bruises.
The eunuchs used the palace's secret incense to wake them up, and then there were sharp howls, terrified cries, and the sounds of them struggling to commit suicide by banging their heads against the wall, but being restrained by the eunuchs and palace maids.
After all, it is still in the Great Jinshan Temple, and there is Lu Yi, a master who is proficient in Buddhist magical powers, in charge.
As a Buddhist mantra was uttered, it sounded like a morning bell and evening drum, exploding in the hearts of those young girls. Thousands of young girls who were crying and begging for death suddenly became quiet, and their low sobs could be heard in the courtyard.
Palace ladies and old eunuchs came over and inquired in gentle words about the identities and backgrounds of these young ladies.
As the information gradually came together, everyone's faces became extremely ugly.
Among these young ladies, only 30% are truly ordinary women.
Apart from these 30% of women of ordinary origin, the rest all came from Yan Dynasty and its dozens of vassal states. They were daughters of some middle- and upper-level powerful families in Yan Dynasty, as well as the wealthy and powerful families in the vassal states, and even daughters of the royal family.
It is conceivable that once this news gets out, it will cause such a bad impact.
Lu Yi also holds the title of Imperial Master of Qingyun Kingdom and Xuan Dynasty.
Yan Dynasty and dozens of its vassal states have now been annexed by Xun Dynasty.
The original territory and people of Yan Dynasty were directly ruled , and dozens of vassal states of Yan Dynasty also recognized Xuan Dynasty as their master.
They had only surrendered for a few months when the wealthy families in their country, and even the daughters of the royal family, were abducted and molested. Moreover, when they woke up, they found that the place where they were imprisoned was Lu Yi's Dajinshan Temple!
Dajinshan Temple is Xuanzang’s territory.
The evil spirit on Cang Moxuan and Xuan Taiyi almost solidified into substance… They didn’t actually care about the lives or innocence of these young ladies.
However, this act of framing others is itself a severe provocation to Canghai Tower, Xuanyan Immortal Dynasty, and even to the two of them personally.
The murderous aura of the two men rose up and filled the entire Dajinshan Temple.
As a result, white waves were circling in the sky above the Dajinshan Temple and black winds were howling. The power of heaven and earth was pressing down. Everyone's heart was heavy, as if their heart was being crushed and hit over and over again by mountains.
Wu Youwei knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, sweat pouring down his body.
It is not an exaggeration at all. Almost all the water in his body turned into sweat and flowed out. His clothes were soaked. He became dehydrated in a very short time and became much shriveled and withered.
Xuan Taiyi put his hands behind his back, walked gently to Wu Youwei, and kicked his chin with his toes: "My good minister Wu Youwei, Shaoqing Wu, do you have anything to say? Well, if what you want to say is how you want to die... don't mention such nonsense, there are many people here who will help you arrange it properly."
"Besides that nonsense, please say something useful!"
Xuan Taiyi smiled warmly: "We are all from aristocratic families, so we should know the rules... Whether the Wu family should be stripped of their titles and lands, demoted, fined, exiled, have their property confiscated, or even have their entire clan exterminated, it all depends on your words!"
Wu Youwei's body began to tremble violently.
In the corner of the yard, the young lady who had just performed the chest-stabbing drama was also trembling, looking at the group of old eunuchs who surrounded her in horror.
This big girl wants to die.
Why were eight old eunuchs at the Condensation Fruit Realm surrounding her?
What did she do?
Isn't it just, isn't it just cooperating to frame a thief monk?
Why did she act like she was dealing with a peerless demon? With her level of cultivation, did she need eight old monsters with Condensed Dao Fruit to watch over her alone?
Seeing that Wu Youwei didn't say anything, the girl gritted her teeth and shouted fiercely: "My dear nobles, my dear seniors, I have something to say... I am just doing the job for money, I don't know the grudges and entanglements here!"
"I am Sang Qiniang, a free-spirited cultivator from Tongwu Mountain in Sangqiu, Yan Dynasty... I will never get involved in the grudges of you nobles... I am only doing the work for money..."
The older girl screamed at the top of her lungs.
After calling out twice, an old eunuch flipped his hand and a long, pitch-black banner appeared out of nowhere. He gently waved it towards Sang Qiniang, and she froze in place with her eyes rolled back.
The old eunuch holding a long banner approached Sang Qinniang cautiously, took out several pale white needles more than a foot long, and inserted them into her vital points very carefully. He also pasted several talismans with a black background and blood-colored patterns on her forehead, heart, lower abdomen, etc.
A strange whispering sound came from inside Sang Qinniang's body.
Under her skin, blood vessels began to wriggle like earthworms.
Wu Youwei trembled as he watched the strange changes in Sang Qinnan's body, and another layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
Suddenly, the imprisoned Sang Qinnan let out a scream of agony, her scream was so tragic that it was as if a demon from the eighteen levels of hell had broken into the human world.
Wu Youwei was startled by her sudden scream. He slammed his head on the ground and screamed at the top of his lungs: "I was wrong. I confess... I, I... It was Eunuch Ying, the personal attendant of His Highness the Second Prince Xuanqi, who told me to do this."
Xuan's smile suddenly froze: "Not the boss's man?"
Cang Jiuer's eyes widened: "Wu Youwei, you better think it over, don't rush to take the blame for the boss... Did Xuan Yi ask you to do it? Don't put the blame on Xuan Qi... I know Xuan Qi, although he is a good-for-nothing, he will never do such a mess!"
Xuan Taiyi looked at Cang Jiuer.
What are you talking about?
Xuan Qi is a good-for-nothing? Well, he is Xuan Taiyi's biological son after all. Even though he is not your Cang Jiuer's biological son, you can't say that about him... If his own son is a good-for-nothing, wouldn't it make him, as a father, seem too incompetent?
Cang Moxuan yawned and waved his hand gently: "My dear son-in-law, since this... this ... Wu... Wu Youwei, right? Since he said it is related to your second son, why don't you check it out?"
"The dirtiest and most chaotic place in the world, besides the brothel, is the palace of your secular dynasty. Tsk... Speaking of a dark and cruel place, your palace is even worse than a brothel."
"The prince and princess are scheming against each other. They are just like the enemy who killed their father."
"Everyone thinks Xuan Yi did it... But who can really say for sure? Maybe it was your second son who stabbed his eldest brother in the back? Who can really say for sure?"
"However, no matter who did it, if they dare to implicate my precious granddaughter, you must get to the bottom of this matter!"
Cang Moxuan set the tone for this matter, and it was obvious that he also became interested.
When this incident first happened, everyone felt that it might be related to Xuan Yi, right?
But now Wu Youwei confessed that it was actually the eunuch who was close to the Second Prince Xuanqi who told him to do this? So, Wu Youwei was actually the Second Prince Xuanqi's man?
I can’t believe that Xuan Qi, who usually keeps a low profile, could actually recruit Wu Youwei?
Xuan Taiyi thought more.
Why did Xuan Qi recruit Wu Youwei? Was he recruiting Wu Youwei alone, or the entire Wu family?
Xuan Qi's maternal family is just a middle-level official family in the Xuan Yan Immortal Dynasty. His maternal family's influence in the entire Xuan Yan Immortal Dynasty is only slightly larger than a mung bean, and is completely incomparable to those real aristocratic families.
If Xuan Qi, who came from such a background, really recruited the entire Wu family...was he capable of doing so? Or was he supported by someone behind him? Or did the Wu family have other plans?
Xuan Taiyi looked at Wu Youwei with a gloomy gaze - if the Wu family had ulterior motives, then all he could do was to exterminate all nine clans.
This is where the headache comes in.
The Wu clan also had concubines in the palace.
The concubine of the Wu clan also gave birth to a little prince, the 28th prince, to Xuan Taiyi...
The more he thought about it, the more headache he got. Xuan Taiyi got angry and kicked Wu Youwei on the chin, sending him flying into the air and then falling heavily to the ground with a bang .
"Idiot, waste, nonsense..." Here, Xuan Taiyi said, "I really don't know what's wrong with your head. You don't help your own nephew, but you go to help Xuan Qi..."
As he was speaking, Xuan Taiyi quickly shut up.
This is not true.
By saying this, isn't he encouraging the Wu family to help Little Twenty-Eight to stir up trouble in the palace?
How could he, an emperor and a father, say such words?
With an annoyed snort, Xuan Taiyi waved his hands: "Investigate, thoroughly investigate... Well, where are the people tracking those men in black? Has any news been sent back? How many people have been found? How many bases have been found?"
Lu Yi was watching quietly from the side.
He watched everyone perform.
He held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, gently moving the beads one by one.
Around the Buddhist beads, traces of turbid air were constantly being drawn out from the air, and then absorbed into the Buddhist beads that were shining with faint Buddhist light, and compressed, condensed, and suppressed with Buddhist mantras.
In the surrounding attics, the sound of women crying could be heard continuously.
Thousands of young ladies with clean family backgrounds were harmed because of an inexplicable conspiracy...
The secular world of Yuanlingtian is still extremely conservative. In some small countries, an unmarried girl would cause a huge disturbance if she was held by the hand or looked at for a few more seconds by a man outside her, let alone being treated like this.
The lives of these thousands of young girls are basically ruined.
Lu Yu was angry.
If there is a conspiracy or calculation, then you can come to him with swords and guns openly. Lu Yi is not a coward. If you come to him to seek revenge, Lu Yi will kill you one by one with swords and guns.
But using such a shady trick, he implicated so many innocent girls...
It's been overdone.
A translucent figure with a faint phosphorescent glow on its body surface appeared beside Cang Moxuan: "Master, those men in black must be the killers from the 'Shadow Studio'..."
