"When the bailiff asked him why he brutally killed his wife, he simply said that his wife had disturbed him while he was reading!"

The gentlemen present gasped when they heard this. It was truly outrageous that he chopped off his wife's head with his own hands just for disturbing her while she was reading!

"Ten days ago, the son of Mr. Jia, a merchant in the capital, who had never been doing his job, suddenly spent all day studying. Mr. Jia was overjoyed, thinking that his son had finally decided to study hard. But one night, his son broke into his father's house with a sword, killed his father and his new concubine, and then hanged himself.

Half a month ago, Zhang, a butcher who slaughtered pigs in the west of the city, brutally slaughtered twelve people from his neighbor's family in one night; a month ago, a doctor from Shan'en Hall took a knife in broad daylight and randomly hacked people on the street, killing three and injuring twelve.

In addition to the above incidents, there are many other similar incidents, the only common point being that the book "Night Talk Scholar" was found at the scene.

After hearing what General Jiang said, all the gentlemen present felt a chill in their hearts when they looked at the copy of "Night Talk Scholar" in their hands. They were so scared that they quickly threw the book aside.

Lord Jiang: "This is too mysterious, isn't it? Could it be that this book is really unclean?"

Lord Song: "I don't know if this book is mysterious or not, but after listening to what General Jiang said, I do feel a little strange lately. Ever since I read this book 'Night Talk Scholar', I have been unable to sleep or eat. Only after reading this book, I feel that my spirits have improved."

Lord Li: "Me too. After hearing what General Jiang said, I suddenly remembered that when I was reading this book last night, my wife was just urging me to go to bed early. Suddenly, a bad thought came to my mind. I thought if she died, would no one dare to urge me like this? I was also shocked by this sudden thought!"

The adults present were discussing the matter, and at this moment, they suddenly heard a loud bang, and Minister Zhang, who was sitting above, slammed the table hard.

"That's pure nonsense! Are you all just idiots? It's just a book, how can it be so mysterious? It's obviously the people who have evil intentions, why blame the book! Do you know that the author of 'Night Talk Scholar', Ye Xingzi, put a lot of effort into writing this unprecedented and unparalleled masterpiece? In my opinion, perhaps some people saw that this book was a big hit in the capital, and some people became angry and deliberately framed him to throw dirty water on him."

Jiang Wenfeng: "I don't know how this book is written. I only know that everyone who reads it has been influenced by it one after another. It's really amazing..."

"General Jiang, you are not jealous of Ye Xingzi's talent, so you are deliberately looking for trouble!" Before Jiang Wenfeng could finish his words, Zhang Shangshu interrupted him and argued with him with red eyes.

Looking at the expression of Zhang Shangshu, Jiang Wenfeng couldn't help but think of those people who were persecuted by him. They also had red eyes and bloodshot eyes when they were imprisoned. It seemed that Zhang Shangshu had also suffered deeply.

The next second, Jiang Wenfeng's eyes fell on the "Night Talk Scholar" on the table beside him. He simply picked up the book and tore it to pieces in front of Minister Zhang.

As the scraps of paper scattered, he saw Minister Zhang's eyes turn red instantly.

Minister Zhang watched helplessly as his favorite book was torn to pieces. He angrily cursed, "You damn arrogant child!"

In a rage, he suddenly drew the sword from the waist of the guard beside him and strode towards Jiang Wenfeng.

The other adults present had never seen such a scene before, and they all advised: "Master Shangshu, please calm down!"

"This sword has no eyes..." Lord Li had just finished saying this when he saw Shangshu Zhang suddenly turn his head and slam the sword in his hand onto the table in front of him. Lord Li was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly and he crawled to the side.

Seeing that Lord Li was scared away by him, Minister Zhang turned around and walked towards General Jiang. When he was about to chop off this guy's head to teach him a lesson, a familiar tall figure suddenly came into his sight not far away.

At the same time, a voice like that of a demon from hell reached his ears: "Zhang Zhengtang, what's wrong with you?"

Minister Zhang was so frightened that his whole body trembled. When he came to his senses, he looked at the sword in his hand, then at the gloomy-faced tyrant not far away, and he fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Minister Zhang suddenly felt his hand was a little heavy. He looked down and saw that he was holding a shining sword in his hand. He was so scared that he trembled all over and quickly threw the sword aside.

"What's happening to me?" Minister Zhang looked up at everyone present with a confused look on his face.

Five days later, all the clues regarding the "Night Talk with Scholars" incident had been found.

It turned out that the real problem was not "Night Talk Scholars", but the paper used to print "Night Talk Scholars".

In the court.

"This Southern Barbarian truly has an unyielding desire to destroy my Dongming. He actually thought of adding a colorless, odorless substance called the Soul-Bewitching Grass to paper, confusing people's minds unknowingly while they're reading. If this continues, the consequences will be truly disastrous!"

"This Nanman appears to have established good relations with my Dongming, but I never expected him to do such dirty things behind my back!"

"Your Majesty, according to what I have said, you should order a ban on all trade between Nanyuan and our country."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Nanman dared to use such a crude method today. Who knows what kind of despicable method they will use next time. In my opinion, now that our country has a strong military force, we should lead our troops to defeat the Nanman in one fell swoop."

Listening to the ministers' chatter below, the great tyrant said with a gloomy face, "Enough! A bunch of idiots, all they do is fight and kill. If you lead the troops to attack Nanyuan, do you think those idiots in Xichu will just watch foolishly? Moreover, do you really think that the matter of the soul-bewitching grass was the work of Nanyuan?"

Compared to Nanyuan, the people of Xichu are even more treacherous and cunning.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Soul-Loving Grass incident was the work of Xi Chu in order to pin the blame on Nan Yuan?"

"If we fall for the trick and lead our troops to attack Nanyuan, both sides will suffer losses in the battle, and the fisherman will benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam."

hiss~

Treacherous! So treacherous!

They almost fell into the trap, but fortunately Your Majesty is wise and powerful.

In fact, it was not because the tyrant was wise and powerful. It was just because he had a dream last night. He dreamed that it was Nanyuan who found out about the soul-bewitching grass. In anger, he sent troops to attack Nanyuan. As a result, Xi Chu took advantage of the war between the two countries and suddenly led troops to attack Dongming.

As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. Later, Dong Ming was defeated, and then the heads of his family were hung on the city wall. He was immediately awakened by the shock!
