Chapter 463

Inside the Imperial Study.

Gao Yang's voice echoed continuously.

He also took out a little booklet, looking righteous.

Wu Zhao's gaze fell on Gao Yang.

From Gao Yang, she didn't see much anger, but rather the ecstasy of launching the poisonous scheme and the relief of finally catching this opportunity to avenge his grudge.

As for the seven-year-old child being brutally killed, she couldn't even be bothered to talk to Gao Yang.

"Minister Gao, why do I see more of the ecstasy of wanting to avenge your own grudge on your face?"

Shangguan Wan'er handed the booklet in Gao Yang's hand up, and Wu Zhao flipped through it, her gaze fixing again on the eight characters on the first page.

To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself!

Her mouth twitched fiercely, and her eyelids jumped.

This Gao Yang is truly ruthless!

Hearing Wu Zhao's words, Gao Yang said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong."

"The knight uses martial arts to violate the ban, and the scholar uses literature to disrupt the law!"

"These Jianghu people only talk about righteousness, ignoring the court's laws. I have long been displeased with them. Da Qian needs stability, and the people need to live and work in peace; this trend must not be encouraged!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhao's gaze suddenly condensed.

"The knight uses martial arts to violate the ban, and the scholar uses literature to disrupt the law!"

"These words are well said. Now in Da Qian, there is indeed this kind of unhealthy trend!"

Wu Zhao muttered to herself, her gaze quietly turning cold.

Gao Yang continued.

"As for the revenge Your Majesty mentioned, that is a private matter. If Your Majesty hadn't mentioned it now, I would have long forgotten about being assassinated at the prison of the Ministry of Justice at a quarter past seven!"

"Your Majesty, please see clearly, your subject has absolutely no private motives!"

Wu Zhao: "..."

Shangguan Wan'er: "..."

If you had long forgotten about the revenge, how do you remember the address and time so clearly?

The anger in Wu Zhao's heart subsided, and she even wanted to laugh.

Immediately after, she said to Gao Yang, "These Jianghu people are indeed becoming more presumptuous."

"Your strategy, although somewhat inhumane, is a great thing for the court and the people of the world. I have decided to use this strategy!"

"The ancient tomb you mentioned earlier, how to hype it up?"

A presumptuous smile appeared on Gao Yang's face, and he said, "If we hype it up with an ancient tomb, the time is too long and the effect is too slow. I have a new idea now!"

"Faster effect, wider spread!"

Seeing the smile on Gao Yang's face, Wu Zhao's heart trembled.

This smile meant that Gao Yang was about to act!

She waited quietly for Gao Yang's next words.

Gao Yang didn't sell it short and said directly, "Before entering the palace, I simply understood that the Li family was a Jianghu martial arts family, and their ancestors had a high status!"

"It's just that they went through war, finally fell, generation after generation, and then were brutally exterminated."

Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "Is this identity very useful?"

Gao Yang was very excited, his eyes shining brightly, "Not just useful, it's a heaven-sent opportunity!"

"So-called hype is first, message backing; second, mystery; and third, the momentum must be big enough. It's best if all Jianghu people know about this, and the Li family perfectly fits these points!"

"The prominent status of the ancestors represents the foundation. Furthermore, there is mystery. Since the Li family's ancestors were once glorious, there must have been an expert who led the family to prosperity!"

"But experts practicing martial arts cannot be achieved overnight; there is a lot of room to make articles here!"

"Your Majesty can completely fabricate a story: the Li family ancestor was originally a waste who was bullied, and was even chased by enemies to the edge of a cliff. With nowhere to go, he jumped down, but was accidentally caught by a tree branch and came to a cave!"

"In this cave, there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged, and the stone tablet beside it was inscribed: 'Kneel and kowtow three times, enter my sect, and get my inheritance!'"

"Vicious people seeing this scene would definitely not bow, but because the Li family ancestor was kind-hearted, he knelt and kowtowed. Unexpectedly, after three kowtows, the stone slab cracked, revealing a secret manual!"

"This manual is the Sunflower Manual that is now in Your Majesty's hands!"

As Gao Yang said this, Wu Zhao's face twitched fiercely.

Shangguan Wan'er and Miaoyu suddenly gasped.

For some reason!

This story, just listening to it, made one's blood boil!

Wu Zhao couldn't help but feel her blood boil, and she asked, "This story sounds very good, but will these Jianghu people believe it?"

Gao Yang smiled confidently, "Your Majesty, rest assured, they will definitely believe it!"

"And this kind of opening—falling off a cliff without dying, encountering a skeleton expert sitting in meditation, a kind-hearted person getting a manual, and then counter-attacking from a waste—completely fits the fantasy of human nature!"

"I guarantee there will be absolutely no problem!"

This kind of opening, Gao Yang didn't need to brag; it had long been verified by the market. Placed in the current Da Qian, it would definitely be praised by these Jianghu experts.

After all, which Jianghu expert doesn't want to get a manual, sweep the Jianghu, marry a beauty, and reach the pinnacle of life!

Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang deeply.

Just from these words, she dared to conclude.

The story of the student who failed the exam and rented an apartment that Gao Yang mentioned earlier must have had a terrifying sense of substitution and lethality!

Just the story fabricated around the Li family ancestor made her feel excited.

"No, no, the first page of this Sunflower Manual says: 'To practice this art, one must first castrate oneself.' If the Li family ancestor practiced this secret manual, where did the descendants come from?"

"This point is very fatal!"

Wu Zhao seemed to have caught the loophole in Gao Yang's words and said.

Gao Yang was calm and continued.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a countermeasure!"

"This story is not over yet!"

"Back then, the Li family ancestor relied on this Sunflower Manual to first kill the enemies of that year, then sweep the Jianghu, and finally lead the Li family to prosperity!"

"And this secret has been kept until the Li family was exterminated, the court intervened in the investigation, a greedy yamen runner searched the Li family, looked for clues to the murderer, accidentally got the manual, and then sold it at a high price to a Jianghu family, only to be silenced..."

"This Li family ancestor could have been married and had children before getting the manual, or after getting the manual, first gave birth to a child, and then practiced the manual!"
