Everyone hurriedly fanned the area around the dragon throne, hoping not to smell any unpleasant odor.
Duke of Qi: I was struck by lightning. Did anyone see it?
Damn it, if I die today, I have to take someone with me.
"Your Majesty, I heard someone reported that the Bingjian Palace is hiding witchcraft. Cursing Longyan Kingdom and Your Majesty."
Whenever the Duke of Qi spoke, there was a strong smell.
"I did dig something up from Prince Bingjian's mansion yesterday, but it wasn't a curse. Instead, it was a jar containing the Heart Sutra copied by Prince Bingjian's wife. The Heart Sutra was filled with blessings for the country, for me, the Queen, and the little princess."
Emperor Wu of Xia looked at him with great interest. "The person who reported it must have had poor eyesight. If I catch him, I will sentence him to death."
"How is that possible?"
Duke Qi's face was filled with disbelief, only anger and unwillingness remained in his eyes. His face was no longer able to express any emotion. "I understand..."
King Bing Jian couldn't stand it any longer and was about to lose his temper. If the emperor hadn't been on his side, given his military character, he would have been furious and rushed over to beat him up.
"Oh? How is that impossible? According to what the Duke said, could it be that you put this thing there?"
Emperor Wu of Xia was puzzled. "Otherwise, how could the Duke know it was impossible? It must be a cursed thing?"
"Your Majesty, it was not you who released it. I swear to God." Duke Qi lied without even frowning.
"You swear?"
Emperor Wu of Xia stared at him. In the past, attending court was extremely boring. Now, attending court was as interesting as watching a play. He really enjoyed it.
"I……"
Duke Qi looked up at the sky, momentarily stunned. He'd sworn an oath before, and he'd done it. But today, something strange and bizarre was going on. He wondered if he'd be struck by lightning again.
"Isn't the Duke of Qi afraid of being struck by lightning again?"
Emperor Wu of Xia looked at him leisurely, "It's okay. Heaven is watching everything people do. As long as you swear, I will believe you."
The Duke of Qi felt he was being forced into a corner. If he didn't swear, he would be deceiving the emperor. That would definitely be a serious matter, with the entire clan being executed.
He was originally planning to deal with the Yang family, how come it has become his own thing now?
Whatever, he was going to die anyway. This damned heaven couldn't always strike him down, right? There were times when it would strike him down with its eyes closed, right?
"Your Majesty, I swear. This cursed doll was definitely not placed there by me. It has nothing to do with me..." Duke Qi said, glancing at it guiltily. Hmm, it seems to be fine.
As expected, the Heavenly Dao closed its eyes. Very good!
[I bet you dare to swear. Do you really think that God is striking you with his eyes closed? This shameless man, strike! If God has eyes, strike me to death.]
"Boom..."
Thunder roared, and lightning struck again. The Duke of Qi tried to hide, but the lightning followed him wherever he ran.
“Help…Help…”
Duke Qi ran out of the hall, but thunders kept coming one after another, as if they really had eyes.
[Hahaha, this mine has a tracking system? So cool.]
Wanwan's laughter echoed in Emperor Wu of Xia's mind until finally, it was the lightning with eyes.
However, the skills of the Thunder God and the Lightning Goddess are getting more and more powerful. They can strike people with seven or eight thunders without killing them. This skill is quite accurate.
"Your Majesty, help me, help me."
Although I didn't die from the blow, it hurt... it was really painful. It felt like all the bones in my body were broken.
Emperor Wu of Xia was stunned and didn't even have time to ask for punishment.
"Then tell me, was this...put there by you?"
It’s still the same fatal question. It’s not right to answer it, and it’s not right not to answer it either.
"If you can't answer, it means you agree."
Emperor Wu of Xia was good at controlling people, and with the help of thunder and lightning, he was able to easily handle the entire case.
"Yes... wuwu...it's not enough for me, wuwu...I was wrong. I was confused for a moment. I shouldn't have framed the King of Binjian. I was also jealous. You gave all your attention to the King of Binjian's Mansion. The Duke of Qi's Mansion is in trouble."
Duke Qi no longer cared, as it had come to this. In an instant, all the words came out of his mouth.
The ministers were filled with disdain. King Bing Xiang was truly unable to bear it any longer. Thinking of his family almost facing execution, he gritted his teeth in anger. He kicked him directly and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please make a decision for me."
The Duke of Qi regretted it. He felt so sorry for what he had done. Why did he do such a thing?
"By the way, Duke Qi, besides you, do you have any accomplices? Who are they?"
Wanwan looked closely and realized that the cursed doll was not controlled by an ordinary person, and its cultivation was even higher than hers.
"yes……"
Duke Qi naturally knew that this was his chance to make a contribution. "I say, can you spare my family?"
"I can consider it."
Emperor Wu of Xia had no intention of punishing everyone. After all, as Wanwan said, one person's mistake doesn't mean the whole family is wrong. Of course, those who have problems must be dealt with without mercy.
If this can be used as leverage, it must be good.
"There was a Taoist priest who looked rather charming. The corners of his mouth were bruised, like he was dead. His expression was red and black. I didn't intend to believe him at the time, but he said a lot of things that made me jealous.
I simply couldn't resist his temptation. He suggested pouring my blood and hatred into the doll. And then writing my birth date on it, so I could feel unbearable pain for the person I hated. Even burying it in the Bingjian Palace was his suggestion. I, the guilty minister, had no such thoughts.
