Chapter 867: Everything His Majesty Says is True!

Zhu Yijun made a bet with Zhang Juzheng, saying that these gentry and bureaucrats in Jiangnan became more loyal the more they were beaten. This was not only proven by the later Tatars; looking back, in the early days of the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also frequently used the "Imperial Grace Fist," and after being beaten, these gentry and bureaucrats didn't dare to climb onto Zhu Yuanzhang's head.

It was just that too much time had passed, and the Jiangnan gentry and bureaucrats had already forgotten the fear of being dominated by the feudal iron fist.

It was time to awaken their remaining memories.

Lin Fang'ao, the highest-ranking general sent by the Shenlong Dynasty this time, was himself a genius expert with a cultivation of the Fifth Transformation of the Sun. Unexpectedly, he personally led troops to ambush the Cursed Clan.

However, what Xiang Yan did not know was that shortly after Shouchun City fell, Xiang Liang secretly took his grandson Xiang Yu out of Shouchun City and was not captured by the Qin army.

The person who came was none other than the former Lord Changping of the Qin State, whom Ziying had searched for but could not find—now the Chu State Prince Xiong Qi.

There was no time to lose, so Elder Zhang let Cao Meng lead the way, and the group quickly headed toward the haunted house where the incident occurred.

The Qi Refining stage cultivator didn't speak, just looked at Wu Yan. Wu Yan had no choice but to first take out two spirit stones and give them to this person. Only then did the Qi Refining cultivator say, "If you want to know the specific situation of Wang Yan, please come to Jiaoye Island immediately." After speaking, the Qi Refining stage cultivator turned and ran away.

Behind them, Li Juri and the others couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the youngest member in their hearts. They didn't expect that at a critical moment, she would have such wit, which saved them from having to make up other excuses to help round things off.

The scene he had carefully planned was originally intended to make Ziying lose face in front of Zou Ling and also make the clansmen hostile toward him.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Qin Tian was a bit puzzled; clearly, they had found Tong'er, so they should be happy.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps by his ear startled him. He hurriedly pulled up Jin Chengyong's clothes and then sat back on the sofa, pretending to be nonchalant.

He didn't want to explain much to this fatty; this time he had just come to handle business, not to be a guest.

The river water was no longer clear, the plants and trees withered, magic fire meteors fell, the land was scorched red, and the shadow of death shrouded his heart.

Therefore, the thousands of golden threads that were originally annoying and disgusting had now become a hot commodity worth ten thousand gold, and he couldn't bear to waste even a fraction.

"Without definitive evidence, you cannot treat him like this! Just based on one or two hairs, you conclude he is the murderer? That is too ridiculous!!" Han Bing said loudly.

When Song Yingxing learned that there was a powder in the world that could become as hard as a rock after being watered and dried, he immediately expressed with great interest that he wanted to manufacture this thing himself.

After arriving at Sifang Island, many people could not return before the competition ended, and no one knew when their own competition would start. So many people had to ask Zhang Tong for help, asking him for food. At first, when there were few people, Zhang Tong, acting on the idea of just adding a pair of chopsticks...

... gave it generously.

His monthly salary as a third-rank official was now 75 shi of rice. In reality, he received 25 taels of silver, 12 shi of rice, several bolts of silk, and a large amount of treasure notes. This income naturally could not support the people in this mansion, but as a capital official, a larger source of income was the "ice tribute" and other unspoken rules from local officials.

Just as Gao Qiang, Li Xue, and Xiao Xiao were chatting, Zhang Tong returned, and by the way, brought Li Tianfeng back. Li Tianfeng was wearing casual clothes, sitting in the back seat of Zhang Tong's car.

Li Li drank milk tea and nodded: "I naturally hate someone like him who is lazy and only knows how to sponge off his parents. However, he seems to have changed his nature recently. I heard from Sister Chen that Zhang Qiang's business is doing quite well."

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone had gathered together to discuss, but there was still no way.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Haoran, this "errand runner," not only had to frequently run to the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers outside but also had to travel between the Wu Yi Hall and the Wanshou Palace. ===== CHAPTER 868 =====
