Chapter 167: The Human Emperor Palace Branch

In the eerie and dim dungeon, the only light came from the oil lamp on the wall. Several shadows of people were projected on the wall, sometimes long and sometimes short.

"Brother Ma, sister-in-law, why are you also locked up?" Zhang Konghu was a little excited. He didn't expect to meet colleagues here. How did he say that sentence?

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Ma Zhuo and his wife sat in another cell, separated from Zhang Konghu by a thick log.

"Are you... Kong Hu?" Zhang Konghu disguised his appearance, and Ma Zhuo and his wife didn't recognize him for a moment, but they could tell from Zhang Konghu's tone.

Zhang Konghu nodded vigorously.

"It's me."

Ma Zhuo and his wife regretted it very much. Even a fool like Zhang Konghu knew that he had to disguise his identity and change his appearance when going out. How could they dare to sell books in their original appearance?

"You even knew to change your appearance?"

"I learned from Brother Jiang. In order to observe the true Kyushu, Brother Jiang often went out in disguise. I thought that as a leader, I should follow Brother Jiang's example, so I also disguised myself when I went out."

Kong Hu was heartbroken.

"I was arrested because I said we'll talk about it tomorrow, which violated the taboo of 'Ming'. Is this also the reason for you?"

"Almost, almost the same." Ma Zhuo and his wife avoided his gaze, not daring to look directly into Zhang Konghu's sincere eyes.

"Kong Hu, you also know that my husband and I often write some essays and then compile them into books to sell. It was probably because we violated the taboos of Dayong that we were arrested." Commander Zhuo had a literary background after all, so he spoke very tactfully.

"Yes, yes." Commander Ma nodded. "Our book is very popular. For other books, readers would say that the writing is not good here or there. But for our book, everyone who reads it would say thank you to the author and thank the author for his hard work."

"So that's how it is. Dayong is really despicable. They even arrest literary authors like you!" Zhang Konghu said angrily. Although he didn't know what books Ma Zhuo and his wife were selling, he knew that Ma Zhuo and his wife would not lie to him. They must be very good authors.

"Little brother, why were you arrested?" The cell held two people in it, and there was another young monk in the cell with Zhang Konghu.

This is a young cultivator who has just started out and is only at the sixth level of Qi training.

"The police stopped me on the street and told me not to say the word 'Ming'. I said I understood."

It took Zhang Konghu a while to figure out why he was arrested.

"oh."

"But it doesn't matter. I have a brother who will save me." The young monk was not worried about his situation at all. "Let me tell you, big brother, I have a brother named Xiaomu. He must be from a wealthy family and is traveling around. He knows a lot and has many incredible spells. If he knows I'm locked up, he will definitely come to save me."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a figure coming through the wall and appearing in the dungeon.

"Ah Yan, I'm here to save you."

"Xiao Mu, you are here as expected!"

The two brothers embraced each other warmly, as if they were reunited after a long separation.

"Xiao Mu, can you rescue this elder brother as well? He is also innocent."

"Okay, okay. This cell is like a deserted place for me." Xiaomu was very proud. It was a good feeling to be relied upon and trusted by others.

"Brother Mu, long time no see." Zhang Konghu greeted Xiao Mu politely.

The Ma Zhuo couple next door also greeted Xiao Mu: "Commander Mu, long time no see."

Xiaomu froze in place.

Why are Zhang Konghu and Ma Zhuo and his wife here?

Including him, four of the six commanders of the Human Emperor Palace are here.

What about the meeting?

Commander Mu likes to hang out with the young monks and pretend to be an expert. He never expected that while pretending to be an expert, he would run into three of his colleagues.

"Kong Hu, I'm here to save you." An urgent voice came from the air. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became dull and depressing, making people unconsciously think about the bad side.

"Kong Hu, you are confused. Why do you have to be locked up here? With your ability, you can run away whenever you want." As the only friend of this fusion cultivator, Zhang Konghu rushed here in a hurry after hearing that Zhang Konghu was captured by the bastard Dayong.

"No, I won't leave." Zhang Konghu shook his head firmly, rejecting the proposal. "If I run away, won't I become a fugitive, proving that I'm a criminal?"

"I'm not leaving."

"Emperor Yong was foolish enough to issue such an order, which is obviously wrong. Why do you have to follow him and continue to make mistakes?" The combined cultivator did not understand Zhang Konghu.

"Emperor Yong is the ruler of a country. He can't be wrong."

"…Then you are wrong?"

"I'm not wrong either."

"Since Emperor Yong is not wrong, and you are not wrong either, then why are you imprisoned here?"

"I don't know. I'm thinking about this question." Zhang Konghu shook his head stubbornly, "I won't leave until I figure it out."

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The combined cultivator covered his face. Commander Liu had nothing to do but let Zhang Konghu read some books that were rational and thoughtful.

Look at him now, a good fool has turned into a stubborn fool, and no one can persuade him.

The combined monk said angrily: "You are the only one who is in charge of the five of us. The four of us are just slacking off. If you don't leave, will Brother Jiang rely on us to patrol the Nine Provinces?"

After the fusion monk finished speaking, he felt three cold gazes staring at him from behind.

"Commander Huang, long time no see." Commander Mu was the first to greet him enthusiastically.

"Commander Huang, long time no see." Ma Zhuo and his wife smiled gently.

The combined monk stood there in a daze, looking at Commander Mu, then turned stiffly to look at the Ma Zhuo couple who were next door and greeted him warmly.

The combined monk squatted in the corner, lost in thought.

"As expected, I have never been able to do things as I wish. What is the purpose of living? Fame, wealth and honor are just passing clouds. Life is full of difficulties. Even if I complain in prison and speak ill of my colleagues behind their backs, they can hear me..."

There are a total of five combined commanders in the Human Emperor Palace, and they are all gathered here at the moment.

Hearing the noise outside the cell, Commander Mu and Commander Huang disappeared.

"Go in!" The arrogant voice of the officer came from outside the cell.

"We have captured three more. We have finally met the target." The officer breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard that Emperor Yong was coming here to inspect. In order to show their achievements, the higher-ups had issued an order that they must capture enough people, no matter how hard it was.

Originally, there was no need to arrest so many people, but Emperor Yong always felt that many people had opinions against him, so officials from all over the country had to make up various excuses to lock people up to reach the number that Emperor Yong had in mind.

"Sir, I am really just a fruit seller."

"Yes, yes, I hope you can understand. I am an honest man who has been selling sesame cakes for more than ten years. How can I have the courage to talk about His Majesty? This person is just a sesame cake eater, and he dare not criticize His Majesty."

The police ignored the pleas of these unruly people and locked them up directly.

"There are not enough cells." After locking up the man selling sesame cakes and the man selling fruits, the officers found that there was no place to lock up the man eating sesame cakes.

"Put him in here, squeeze in." The officer put the man who ate the sesame cake into the cell where Zhang Konghu was.

"Wow, it's so lively."

As soon as Jiang Li entered the cell, he saw Zhang Konghu, Ma Zhuo and his wife, as well as Commander Mu and Commander Huang who were hiding.

It is impossible to get all the money together at other times, but I never expected that I could get all the money together in prison.

Dayong Dungeon, also known as the branch hall of the Palace of the Human Emperor.
