Chapter 69 Ye Chutang Creates a Miracle
Before the imperial kitchen opened the door of the storehouse, Ye Chutang escaped underground to Ziyun Pavilion in the southeast corner of the palace.
Ziyun Pavilion is where Zhang Tianshi lives.
He was a Taoist priest hired by Eunuch De to guide the emperor in seeking immortality and refining elixirs.
Thanks to Qi Yanzhou's palace layout map, Ye Chutang was very clear about the layout of Ziyun Pavilion.
Just as she was about to come out of the medicinal field in the south, she was driven more than ten meters down by the strong smell of blood and rotting corpses.
With my fingertips touching the moist soil, I could sense the entire underground of Ziyun Pavilion.
The medicinal fields were nourished with blood and rotten flesh, and the lotus pond contained the corpses of many children.
The entire Ziyun Pavilion is a huge soul-locking formation.
But the person who set up the formation was only a novice in Taoism, and the formation was wrong.
In other words, Zhang Tianshi is a big liar who has killed countless people!
Ye Chutang poked his head out from under the locust tree in the northwest corner.
The locust tree is planted next to the alchemy room.
The alchemy room was brightly lit and filled with heat.
The aroma of medicine mixed with the smell of blood wafted out of the room, making people feel sick.
Ye Chutang looked inside through the crack in the door.
There were two medicine boys sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, watching over the fire.
There were four other medicine boys grinding the medicinal materials.
In addition to common herbs, there are also baby bones!
Several people were chatting while working.
"Is the Heavenly Master trying to reconcile yin and yang again? I'm so envious!"
"Envy? Those women are not simple, you may not be lucky enough to enjoy them."
"That's right. They actually grind baby bones into powder and apply it on their faces to maintain their beauty."
"That's nothing. I've even seen them eating little livers!"
Ye Chutang’s fist hardened!
“Beast!”
She manipulated her earth-related abilities and overturned the huge alchemy furnace.
The alchemy furnace collapsed, crushing and killing the two medicine boys who were watching the fire.
The burning wood poured out and ignited the dry alchemy room.
"Let's go..." Water!
The medicine boy who was grinding the herbs just opened his mouth when Ye Chutang silenced him.
The remaining three were terrified.
But before he could call for help, his neck was cut.
Merit value +289.
This number surprised Ye Chutang.
She didn't expect that the six medicine boys could bear so many sins.
"The Beichen Kingdom deserves to perish!"
After saying that, she went underground to the Dengtian Tower where Zhang Tianshi was.
There are nineteen floors in the Dengtian Tower.
Each of the first eighteen floors is painted with a breathtaking picture of hell and is built to look like hell.
The nineteenth floor depicts the paradise where one can ascend to heaven and become an immortal.
It means that as long as you climb through the eighteen levels of hell, you can purify your soul and gain eternal life.
Zhang Tianshi was not seeking immortals or asking for advice on the top floor, but was indulging himself in debauchery on the first floor.
He selected eighteen stunningly beautiful women, who ostensibly bore the sins of the dog emperor, but secretly accompanied him in his sexual misconduct.
Ye Chutang pushed open the floorboards in the corner of the first floor and lit the strongest incense.
In less than half an incense stick of time, Master Zhang and the eighteen women were all knocked unconscious.
Ye Chutang came out from under the floor and committed the crimes of the eighteen levels of hell on eighteen women.
The more terrifying the picture of each layer of hell is, the more tragic the woman's death will be.
As for Zhang Tianshi, his genitals were cut off and he was hanging naked on the top of the nineteenth floor.
When the palace maids and royal guards came to put out the fire.
Four words with blue flames appeared in the sky above the Dengtian Tower.
The evil Taoist destroyed the country.
The words were written by Ye Chutang using alcohol on transparent gauze and then burned.
The light was dim in the night and I could only see the burning words, not the gauze.
Then, she used her earth-based powers to create a small earthquake.
While everyone was panicking, she removed the gauze that was about to burn, sneaked underground to the imperial study, and stole the imperial seal.
Then return to the Shangshu Mansion.
The reason why Ye Chutang did not kill Zhang Tianshi.
One reason is that he has a close relationship with the emperor and is related to the fate of the country.
Second, even if he is killed, there will still be Li Tianshi and Wang Tianshi.
She couldn't control the fate of the country, she could only do her best.
***
The next day.
Before daybreak, the imperial kitchen had been ransacked, the news that Zhang Tianshi was a demon, and the Eighteen Levels of Hell had reappeared on earth had spread throughout the capital.
Because the imperial seal was stolen, the emperor held an early morning court session for the first time in history.
He looked at Qi Yanzhou with a terribly gloomy expression.
"Lord Chen, you are investigating the 'Ghost Thief', why is there no news yet?"
They stole the Xishou Palace, the imperial kitchen, and the imperial seal. Will they steal his head next?
Qi Yanzhou bowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty, the 'ghost thief' came and went without a trace. I am only a mortal and can do nothing about it."
The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon throne, his eyes filled with anger.
"What does King Chen mean by this?"
"Your Majesty, stealing so many things from the palace in such a short time is beyond human ability. I doubt..."
Qi Yanzhou paused deliberately, and the emperor shouted angrily, "Keep talking!"
"I suspect it was done by a Taoist master who has a grudge against Zhang Tianshi."
The emperor looked at Eunuch De, "What do you think?"
Eunuch De thought about the contents of the secret letter he received last night, glanced at Qi Yanzhou, and agreed with what he said.
"I think what King Chen said makes sense."
When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were stunned.
The emperor's intention should be to punish Prince Chen through Eunuch De, right?
Why did Eunuch De suddenly speak to Prince Chen?
For a moment they didn't know whether to refute or agree, so they lowered their heads and dared not speak.
The emperor asked coldly, "Does what you said make sense?"
Eunuch De nodded and said, "Your Majesty, my Xishou Palace was emptied in two quarters of an hour in broad daylight, and the storehouse of the imperial kitchen was emptied in a cup of tea. This is indeed beyond human power."
The implication is that since the "ghost thief" is not a human, he cannot be found.
If King Chen is punished for this, the people will definitely think that the emperor is deliberately targeting King Chen.
Qi Yanzhou said, "Your Majesty, I failed to catch the 'ghost thief'. I was indeed derelict in my duty. I am willing to pay a fine of half a year's salary."
This gave the emperor a way out.
“As it should be.”
After saying this, the emperor looked at the civil and military officials.
"My dear ministers, what do you want to say about 'the evil way destroying the country'?"
Qi Yanzhou had long wanted to kill Zhang Tianshi, who had brought disaster to the country and the people. Now that the opportunity was presented to him, he naturally would not let it go.
"Your Majesty, with you in charge, Beichen will naturally prosper. The rumor of destroying the country is just a rumor, but the matter of the Eighteen Hells has already spread. Only by killing Zhang Tianshi can we calm the people."
The prince and Qi Yanzhou had the same idea about Zhang Tianshi.
"Father, the people have regarded the 'evil way destroying the country' as a warning from heaven. If we don't kill Zhang Tianshi, we can't give the people an explanation."
The second prince was on good terms with Zhang Tianshi and wanted to protect him.
"Father, Master Zhang would never do anything to destroy the country. He must have been framed by his enemies. If he wanted to harm you, why would he have worked so hard to make elixirs for you and take you to seek the immortality?"
As soon as the two most favored princes opened their mouths, the ministers immediately expressed their opinions and started arguing.
Some people support the crown prince, while others support the second prince.
The two sides were arguing with each other, neither of them giving in.
The emperor asked Eunuch De, "What do you think?"
