Chapter 372: Sword Gods gather at the book venue, commenting on the three great Sword Immortals of the Spring and Autumn!

Late at night, Great Ming Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

The Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by a little eunuch:

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao requests an audience, saying there is an urgent matter."

Zhu Houzhao got up very dissatisfied, put on his clothes, and walked to the outer room.

Before he could ask, Cao Duan Zhengchun knelt down directly and said loudly: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened, Superintendent Liu has been killed."

"What?"

This shock was no small matter, making Zhu Houzhao wake up directly.

"Tell me carefully, who killed Liu Xi?"

Zhu Houzhao asked seriously.

Cao Duan Zhengchun said: "Just now, those Jianghu people forced their way into the Eastern Depot and killed Superintendent Liu on the spot."

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

"Are these Jianghu people trying to rebel?"

"Then what are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and mobilize the Imperial Guards to wipe them all out?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

"Your Majesty, those Jianghu people have the Iron Certificate in their hands, and according to the law, they can be exempted from the death penalty."

"Your servant did not dare to make a decision without authorization, so I came to the palace to ask Your Majesty to decide."

Cao Duan Zhengchun said solemnly.

"Iron Certificate? Where did they get the Iron Certificate?"

Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise.

Cao Duan Zhengchun then told the story of the Tongfu Inn from beginning to end.

"So it was Mr. Su who gave them the Iron Certificate."

"Then Liu Xi committed such a great crime, and you didn't notify me in advance?"

Zhu Houzhao said very angrily.

Cao Duan Zhengchun said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Eastern Depot has always been decided by Superintendent Liu. Although your servant is loyal to Your Majesty, I was threatened by him and dared not speak."

"Hmph! Liu Xi really has great courage, actually wanting to block my ears and eyes. Those Jianghu people killed him well!"

"Since Liu Xi is dead, you can take over as the Superintendent of the Eastern Depot."

"I hope you can take this as a warning."

Zhu Houzhao said with a solemn face.

Cao Duan Zhengchun bowed: "Your servant thanks Your Majesty for your trust, I will definitely do my best to manage the Eastern Depot and be Your Majesty's ears and eyes."

"Hmm. You may go."

"Handle those Jianghu people properly."

"Since they have Mr. Su's support behind them, don't make things too difficult for them."

Zhu Houzhao gave another instruction.

"Your servant understands, I will take my leave first."

Cao Duan Zhengchun achieved his goal and exited the Yangxin Hall with satisfaction.

Standing outside the hall, Cao Duan Zhengchun had a look of triumph.

The position of Superintendent of the Eastern Depot finally fell into his hands.

"The Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is not worth worrying about."

"The Western Depot's Yu Huatian and the Six Fan Sect's Chief Catcher Guo Juxia are also not my match."

"Next, as long as I topple the Hulong Villa, this Great Ming Depot and Guard will be my world."

Cao Duan Zhengchun whispered, countless calculations emerging in his heart.

Time flew by.

It had been a full five days since Su Chen last lectured.

The originally desolate Seven Heroes Town became as prosperous and lively as the capital during the New Year again.

At this moment, the small Seven Heroes Town had become the center of the entire Central Plains.

Jianghu heroes wearing various imperial dynasty costumes could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys, each with an excited expression on their faces.

And no matter where they were, they all had the same goal, which was the tallest building in the entire Seven Heroes Town—the Tongfu Inn.

At this very moment, inside the Tongfu Inn, it was even more lively.

The first-floor lobby was almost full, and many Jianghu big shots had already taken their seats in the second-floor elegant seats and third-floor private rooms.

The lecture time hadn't arrived yet, but various discussions in the lobby were endless.

"Have you heard? The Eastern Depot Superintendent Liu Xi was really killed! It's really satisfying."

"Really or fake? That Liu Xi is an expert on the Grandmaster Ranking, and he is in the Eastern Depot, who could kill him?"

"This matter is absolutely true. The one who killed Liu Xi is none other than Zhang Zhenren! But other Jianghu heroes also contributed a lot."

"So it was Zhang Zhenren who took action, no wonder he could easily kill that Liu Xi. Zhang Zhenren is worthy of being the pillar of our Great Ming."

"Not just Liu Xi, the Jiang Biehe mansion was also taken down by many righteous experts, but that Jiang Biehe is as cunning as a fox and escaped in advance."

"Those who went to the Jiang Biehe mansion are probably not all righteous people, many are for the Liuren Divine Dice."

"It's a pity that we couldn't kill that Jiang Biehe. I have always hated such insidious villains."

"Didn't Mr. Su say last time that he would comment on the scum of the Jianghu? I wonder who will be on the list this time?"

The sixth private room in the East District.

In front of Yao Yue and Lian Xing, a handsome and cold man stood respectfully.

It was the only male disciple of the Flower-Shifting Palace, Hua Wuque.

"The matter I asked you to handle, has it been done?"

Yao Yue asked coldly.

Hua Wuque lowered his head and said: "Your servant found Jiang Biehe in a desolate manor and killed him, but did not find the Liuren Divine Dice on him."

"What?"

Lian Xing frowned sharply.

Compared to Jiang Biehe, they undoubtedly cared more about the Liuren Divine Dice.

"Are you sure you have searched all the places?"

Yao Yue asked in a deep voice.

Hua Wuque said: "I have searched all the places I could, including the Jiang Biehe mansion."

"Sister, the Liuren Divine Dice is lost outside, this matter is very unfavorable for us."

Lian Xing said anxiously.

"The Liuren Divine Dice has been outside for a hundred years and no one has been able to obtain its internal method, so there is no need to worry about others succeeding in cultivation."

"But the Liuren Divine Dice must be obtained. Continue searching, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find it."

Yao Yue said calmly.

"Your servant will return to Jiangnan now and continue searching."

Hua Wuque said decisively, turned around, and walked out of the private room.

The fourth private room in the South District. ===== CHAPTER 374 =====
