Chapter 104: Beauty List
The day before Xu Ming left Wudu, he came to the warehouse of Wudu Town Transport Company.
The Wudu Zhenyun Division can be regarded as the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, which is specifically responsible to Emperor Wu, but under normal circumstances, it is Wei Xun who is in charge of the coordination.
Therefore, Wei Xun can also be regarded as the owner of the East Factory.
Not long ago, Xu Ming went to the palace and asked Emperor Wu for something.
When Emperor Wu heard that Xu Ming wanted that kind of thing, he was very puzzled.
However, after Xu Ming explained his reasons, Emperor Wu agreed to Xu Ming's request, but he could only give him part of it.
Led by the deputy director of the Town Transport Department, Xu Ming walked into a small room in the warehouse.
There was a strange smell in this small room.
The smell was emitted by a liquid specially used to store corpses, similar to the formalin of blue starfish in the previous life.
But the smell is not as pungent as formalin.
In the center of the small room, there is a large coffin.
The coffin opened, revealing the body of a monster.
The body was soaked in light blue liquid and was well preserved.
A hole appeared where the heart of the corpse should have been.
This corpse was the man named Shen Sheng who was killed by Xu Ming in Shunan Mountain a few years ago. The hole on the chest of the corpse was caused by Xu Ming's punch.
After Xu Ming reported to the court, Shen Sheng's body was pulled back to Wudu for research.
Finally, after the medical monk's autopsy, it was found that Shen Sheng's body contained not only human blood but also the blood of demon beasts.
The magical beast blood in Shen Sheng's body comes from Shi Dougui.
In the past few years, not only in Wu State, but also in various parts of the world, there have been rumors that there is a demon cult called the Black God Cult, which is trying to use magical beasts to strengthen itself, and has used many monks for experiments, and even used mortals for experiments.
The Wu Kingdom organized several encirclement and suppression operations, but the Black God Cult had three burrows and could not be completely wiped out. It would appear again after a while.
It is obvious that Shen Sheng's body has been transformed.
As to whether Shen Sheng was forced to reform or did so voluntarily, no one knows, after all, he is already dead.
However, in Xu Ming's opinion, Shen Sheng should have been forced.
Moreover, Xu Ming always felt that what Shen Sheng said to him at the end had some deep meaning. It seemed that Shen Sheng wanted to tell him something, but he couldn't open his mouth.
At that time, Shen Sheng hoped that Xu Ming would bring his ashes back to Qingyang County in Shuzhou.
Xu Ming is not a saint. He does not want to help someone who has taken countless innocent lives.
But Shen Sheng's request was too abrupt.
Under normal circumstances, how could a criminal who had committed such a heinous crime have the nerve to ask a police constable, whom he had never met, to bury his ashes in his hometown?
So, Xu Ming was wondering if there was anything in Qingyang County, Shuzhou? Therefore, Xu Ming planned to take Shen Sheng's ashes to have a look. When he entered the palace to meet the emperor, Xu Ming also told the emperor this reason.
Emperor Wu thought Xu Ming was overthinking it, but he still allowed Xu Ming to go and gave him a jade pendant, saying that if he had any problems, he could use the jade pendant to go directly to the local county magistrate.
"Lord Wenwu, this is the body you are looking for. We have still preserved it very well." The deputy director of the Zhenyun Division said to Xu Ming.
"Thank you, Master Lin." Xu Ming nodded. "I just need a small jar of ashes, not too much."
"Okay." The deputy director of the Zhenyun Division nodded, took out a sword, cut off one of the corpse's arms, then placed it on an iron platform, breathed out flames, and personally burned the arm into ashes.
Lord Lin from the Zhenyun Division is a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.
Many monks from various sects would work in local government offices or the Zhenyun Division, mainly for experience or to get some kind of reward. They did not participate in dynasty politics, so it would not affect their lifespan.
And this deputy director of the Zhenyun Division is just like that.
He does not participate in government affairs, at most he is just a thug. After a few years of experience, he will return to the sect.
Not long after, the deputy director of the Zhenyun Division put the ashes of the burnt arm into a small jar and handed it to Xu Ming.
Xu Ming thanked him again and left Zhenyunsi.
The next day, outside Wudu City, Xu Ming said goodbye to his mother and left the Xu Mansion with the Tianxuan Goose and Xu Pangda.
Outside the city, Xu Ming met up with Fang Ling's family.
Qingyang County, where Xu Ming was going, happened to pass through Baihe County, so Xu Ming was ordered to give Xu Pangda and Fang Ling a ride.
As for the Sky Black Goose.
Tianxuan E expressed her desire to go outside and take a look, and Xu Ming did not stop her. Naturally, he let her go with him.
Outside Wudu City, Xiong Haizhi, Li Han, Guangyin and others came to see Xu Ming off, even Hu Tao came.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
But Wu Yanhan did not come.
"I don't know where that kid Wu Yanhan went. We haven't even seen him yet. When the time comes, you can go outside and see if you can find out. If he's dead, collect his body." Li Han said to Xu Ming.
Li Han and his companions did not know that Wu Yanhan was actually the princess of the current dynasty - Wu Yanhan. They had always thought that there was no news of their comrade-in-arms and were a little worried.
Xu Ming smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Xu Ming didn't want to expose Wu Yanhan's identity. They would know it later, so let them be surprised then.
"Be careful on the road. Remember, don't cause trouble, especially be careful of independent cultivators. Ordinary disciples from famous and upright sects still have their own bottom line, but those independent cultivators will even sell their wives for a few resources." Xiong Haizhi reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore." Xu Ming nodded.
"Brother Xu, be careful on the road." Guangyin looked at Xu Ming nervously.
"It's nothing, I won't die." Xu Ming smiled and looked at the sky, "Let's go."
Xu Ming and Xu Pangda got on the carriage and drove towards Baihe County. The black swan flapped its wings, flew to the roof of the carriage, raised its neck and called happily a few times.
"Why, you're not going to see Xu Ming off?"
In the attic on top of the hundred-meter-high observatory in the Wudu Palace, Emperor Wu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the girl in front of him with a smile.
The girl snorted twice, her expression calm: "What's there to give? I'm not going to die."
Emperor Wu smiled and said, "What if he meets a pretty girl and ignores you when he comes back?"
"hehe."
The girl turned around, folded her hands in front of her, moved her legs under her skirt, and walked towards the steps under the pavilion.
"Then they have to look better than me."
Watching his daughter gradually go downstairs.
Emperor Wu stroked his chin and said to himself, "Speaking of which, today seems to be the time to re-list the Beauty List."
Just as Emperor Wu had just finished speaking.
A red list hangs high above the cloudless sky.
