Chapter 11 Jiang Renhuang’s Crazy Fans
When they came to a deserted place, Governor Gong slapped Chief Jiang in the face. Chief Jiang turned twice in the air before landing on the ground with his mouth full of blood.
"Asshole, being the city lord of Qingcheng is my biggest failure. If your ancestor wants to live two more years, let him figure it out on his own. Don't let us clean up his mess!"
"Didn't you say that your ancestor's cultivation of the magic path was secretly allowed by Emperor Jiang Ren? Hurry up and contact Emperor Jiang Ren. Only he can save us now!"
Chief Jiang grumbled, spat out the blood in his mouth, and said, "It has always been only Emperor Jiang who has contacted us. We have never contacted Emperor Jiang."
Prefect Gong now suspects that Jiang Renhuang has no idea that Jiang Yixing is practicing the magic way. Maybe Jiang Renhuang is really selfless and has never returned to the Jiang family.
But it is useless to dwell on these now.
"That means Emperor Jiang is unreliable, right?" Prefect Gong's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it. "There is only one plan that works now."
"What is it? Send someone to kill Zhang Li?" Clan Leader Jiang and City Lord Zeng asked hurriedly.
"Idiot, Zhang Li was killed just after he applied for time travel. This is not killing Zhang Li, this is a slap in the face of the court. If the court doesn't care about this matter, where is its majesty? When the court investigates, we will all be finished!" Prefect Gong cursed loudly. His century-long cultivation skills were broken twice in one day, once by Zhang Li and once by these two idiots.
"The Third Prince admires the achievements of the Human Emperor, so he intends to promote officials like us who have served as city lords in Qingcheng. The only way we can ask someone to persuade the Third Prince to go back in time and protect us is to have a chance to survive!"
"But who among us is qualified to see the Third Prince?"
Prefect Gong smiled coldly: "I am not the only one who will be promoted after becoming the city lord of Qingcheng. Their current positions are not low. Now that the truth has been revealed, no one can escape. Let them help to ask for help."
…
"The cousin of Emperor Jiang Ren is practicing the magic way, and he even got Emperor Jiang Ren's approval. Can you take this seriously?!"
The third prince stood up excitedly, his face full of disbelief.
"To reply to your Highness, it is true. When I was an official in Qingcheng, I learned about this and was also very shocked."
The official who had served as the city lord of Qingcheng in the past few days used all his connections and finally got the opportunity to send Prefect Gong to appear before the Third Prince.
After Magistrate Gong arrived in Beijing, he rehearsed the move several times before he dared to go find the Third Prince.
"The Emperor of Jiang is in a high position with great power, and he only has two or three close friends, so he attaches great importance to family affection. However, as the Emperor of Man, he cannot show it too obviously. He actually can't bear to see his cousin die, so he secretly instructs his cousin to practice magic, break through the Nascent Soul, and prolong his life."
"Now that the fact that the Emperor's cousin is practicing the magic path is confirmed by those two fools, maybe the fact that Emperor Jiang instructed him to practice the magic path will also be revealed. If that happens, Emperor Jiang's reputation will plummet, Your Highness!"
"If we cover this up, Emperor Jiang might even thank us when he finds out."
The Third Prince paced the room several times, his eyes sparkling with joy, and he silently muttered "the reputation of the Emperor", "thank you", "the Emperor is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see his brothers die", "the devil is not greater than brotherhood", and finally said to Prefect Gong: "I already know about this matter."
…
Great Zhou Dynasty, Xuanzheng Hall.
Zhou Huangjizhi was a man with double pupils, a slender figure and a handsome face. Just sitting there he gave people a sense of majesty and justice.
This is not an illusion, but a real feeling caused by the country's good fortune.
The destiny of the Zhou Dynasty is closely related to the law. The fairer the law, the stronger the national destiny will be. As the protector of the national destiny, if Emperor Jizhi of Zhou acts unfairly, he will not be able to bear the weight of the national destiny and will eventually be crushed by it.
Princess Zhou looked through the memorials and applications for the time travel and asked, "There is a Nascent Soul cultivator in Qingcheng who is suspected of practicing magic. The mayor of Qingcheng may have abused his power and destroyed evidence. Now we need someone to go to Tianqing Mansion to travel back in time. Who wants to go?"
Several princes and princesses remained silent. For this kind of thing, doing it well would be useless, and doing it wrong would be a mistake. Usually, their father would assign two people, one to carry out the execution and the other to supervise. Now it was just a formality.
"In reply to your Majesty, I want to go." The Third Prince stepped forward, causing the other princes and princesses to look at him sideways. They didn't understand why the Third Prince was so enthusiastic. Was he trying to show off in front of his father? "Then the Third Prince will go, and the Fourth Prince will accompany you. This matter has been decided. We are dismissed."
After the court session ended, the Third Prince called the Fourth Prince.
"Fourth brother, come here for a moment."
The Fourth Prince frowned. His relationship with the Third Prince was not very good. Both of them coveted the throne, and their overt and covert struggles were countless. Many ministers in the court had already begun to take sides.
Calling him over now, the Fourth Prince could only think that it was related to traveling back in time.
"Third brother, what's the matter?"
"Do you know the background of the case that Father asked you and me to trace back time this time?"

"Isn't it just that the Lord of Qingcheng is helping a Yuanying cultivator to practice the magic way?"
"The background of that Nascent Soul cultivator is not simple. He is the cousin of Emperor Jiang Renhuang and the only relative of the same generation as Emperor Jiang Renhuang."
“What?!” The Fourth Prince was shocked. He did not take it seriously at first when he heard the Third Prince talking about the background of this case. With the strength of the Great Zhou, even if the other party was a Taoist priest, they would still act according to the law and arrest those who should be arrested and sentence those who should be sentenced.
Unless the other party has a powerful background that even the Great Zhou dare not provoke.
His identity as the cousin and only relative of the Human Emperor meets this background condition.
Furthermore, if the cousin of the Human Emperor practiced the Way of Magic, would the Human Emperor be unaware of it? The Human Emperor was so powerful that it was hard to imagine, could he also practice the Way of Magic? If the Human Emperor practiced the Way of Magic, would the Great Zhou care or not?
Hiss, it's terrifying to think about it. No wonder my father didn't point it out in the court despite such a big background. I'm afraid that once it is pointed out, no matter whether the cousin of the Human Emperor has practiced magic or not, the final result can only be "no"! The Great Zhou Dynasty has the power to control the Human Emperor, but it does not have the ability to control the Human Emperor. He is a cultivator in the Mahayana period. The Great Zhou Dynasty uses all its strength but it is just like a moth flying into a flame.
The Fourth Prince's mind came to his senses very quickly, and he quickly reached an agreement with the Third Prince in secret.
Although they had conflicts, since it concerned the reputation and survival of the Great Zhou, they could still reach a temporary reconciliation.
…
The location for tracing back time was set on the outskirts of Qingcheng, so after submitting the application, Jiang Li and Yuan Wuxing returned to Qingcheng.
Yuan Wuxing has been living in fear these past few days. Nascent Soul and Spiritualization cultivators, who are rarely seen in normal times, keep coming to visit him, using threats and inducements everywhere, asking Senior Zhang Li to fend for himself and withdraw his application.
The reasons were nothing more than something like affecting the Emperor of Man, the overall situation, etc. Jiang Li yawned when he heard them. There was nothing new about them. He politely responded to these people.
There was a Jindan cultivator who lacked self-cultivation, and was angered by Jiang Li's words "What do you know, Jiang Renhuang?" He attacked in rage, and Jiang Li performed a classic battle of genius Nascent Soul against veteran Jindan for Yuan Wuxing on the spot.
There was a knock on the door, and Yuan Wuxing had no choice but to open it again.
