This side of the camp.
Lu Xianzong, Xu Daichou and others colluded with each other and used force to force court officials to surrender.
Lord Zhang who had shown up earlier had been executed in public.
Everyone knows that he is a supporter of Yu Jiuchen.
Lu Xianzong and his men did this simply to make an example of someone.
The effect is naturally self-evident, and most people dare not speak out anymore.
Xu Daichou looked as if his evil plan had succeeded, and he turned around and exchanged glances with Lu Xianzong.
Prince Jin Yu Chengjin stood beside Lu Xianzong without saying a word.
Suddenly.
One of the court officials couldn't bear to watch any longer and stood up from the ground. Even though his upper body was tied up, he still couldn't stop the passion for loyalty to his country!
"You are plotting treason! I will never go along with you! Isn't it just death? Come on!"
"right!"
"That's right!"
"Where is His Majesty now? Hand His Majesty over!"
"We want to see His Majesty!"
Unexpectedly, there were still a few stubborn people. Xu Daichou's eyes suddenly became cold.
He looked at the restless courtiers with a sly face and waved his hand.
The surrounding generals and soldiers drew their swords and were about to attack them.
Some cowardly officials in the court fled away for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
However, the leading official who had spoken righteously before stood upright.
Isn't it just death?
He lowered his eyes, waiting for the opponent's long sword to come with a determined look.
Just at this moment.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a shout came from the crowd.
When everyone looked over, they saw a handsome man with a bit of sour air standing up.
"Is it you?" Xu Daichou said with disdain.
The other party was Shen Juezhou.
As for Shen Juezhou, he knelt outside the court on the first day of his audience with the emperor, angrily rebuked the current Nine Thousand Year Old Emperor Su Changzhao, and was finally kicked out of the imperial city by Yu Jiuchen. Looking back at all the dynasties, he was the first person to do this.
So even though he was not a high-ranking official, his deeds were known to everyone.
There was no one present who did not know him.
Perhaps because he was appreciated by Yu Jiuchen, he was allowed to come to the hunting trip.
Otherwise, given his official rank, how could he come hunting with the senior officials in the court?
However, Xu Daichou didn't take him seriously at all, and immediately signaled to the general to execute the official.
See the general raise his sword again.
"Wait!" Shen Juezhou shouted, "You have no right to execute anyone here!"
Hearing this, Xu Daichou smiled.
"Oh, you are just a sixth-rank official, what qualifications do you have to speak so arrogantly here!"
"I may not have it, but what I have does."
"What?" Xu Daichou continued to sneer.
Shen Juezhou said slowly, "This thing of mine can prove that the King Jin you found is a fake!"
"What?"
"What does he mean?" Some officials began to whisper to each other.
Xu Daichou didn't look very good.
Lu Xianzong also became gloomy.
"Everyone, look at this." Shen Juezhou immediately took out the token of King Jin's identity - the golden scroll.
This is what King Jin left behind when they met that day.
Later, he presented this item to Yu Jiuchen.
During this hunting trip, Tang Fengjian gave him something again.
The purpose is to allow him to use this item to identify King Jin as a fake at the critical moment.
Although it is possible that King Jin is real, he is a fool after all.
Lu Xianzong and Xu Daichou did not hesitate to use a fool to try to overthrow the dynasty. It was simply despicable and hateful.
Shen Juezhou would never allow such a thing to happen.
This is also the first important task that Yu Jiuchen has entrusted to him. He must defend it with his life and complete the mission!
"It's the Golden Scroll!"
"How come Shen Juezhou also has a golden scroll?"
"There are actually two golden scrolls!"
"Who is telling the truth?"
"Could it be that this King Jin is really an imposter?"
Listening to the discussion below getting more and more intense.
Lu Xianzong began to feel a little restless.
Because once Prince Jin becomes a 'fake', they will have no legitimate reason to act, and will be regarded as traitors and be killed by everyone!
"Huh? Why isn't Prince Jin speaking?" Someone began to look at Yu Chengjin with an inquiring look.
"Yeah, I haven't said a word since I came here."
"Haven't you heard that King Jin is a mute?"
"Well, there must be something fishy going on here."
Just like that, the situation that had finally stabilized suddenly became out of control.
King Jin is their trump card, but also their weak spot.
Seeing this, Xu Daichou was a little overwhelmed.
He naturally knew that Yu Chengjin was the real King Jin, but he also knew that this genius prince who was once praised to the sky had now become a fool.
If he gets involved with Shen Juezhou too much, the fact that Prince Jin is a fool will probably be exposed.
A fool and a fake, the result is the same.
Xu Daichou's forehead began to sweat: "Shen Juezhou, you are talking nonsense!"
Shen Juezhou sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? If you have the guts, ask King Jin to say something to clear up the confusion for everyone. If that doesn't work, have someone identify which one is the real one, the golden scroll in my hand or the golden scroll in your hand."
"You..." Xu Daichou was actually at a disadvantage for a moment.
Because the real golden scroll had long been lost, Xu Daichou knew very well that theirs was a counterfeit.
But Yu Chengjin is indeed the real King Jin, but if he were to speak, it would expose the fact that he is a fool.
He didn't expect that today he would be forced into a dilemma by a small sixth-rank official.
He has risked his entire life and property in this uprising. If he fails, his entire clan will be in trouble and he will be infamous for eternity!
Suddenly.
My shoulders felt heavy.
Xu Daichou turned his head and saw his teacher Lu Xianzong with a calm demeanor: "Daichou, don't waste your words on ants."
Xu Daichou finally regained his composure and bowed his head: "Yes, teacher."
He turned his head and raised his chin towards the general beside him.
The general immediately stepped forward and snatched the golden scroll from Shen Juezhou's hand.
"You...you guys...are simply robbers! You are bandits!"
The general remained indifferent and punched Shen Juezhou in the abdomen.
Seeing that Shen Juezhou had finally behaved himself, he turned around and handed the golden scroll to Lu Xianzong.
When Lu Xianzong got the golden scroll, he immediately ordered to bring Prince Jin back to the palace!
He kept Xu Daichou and said that anyone who surrendered would be released to attend the coronation ceremony of King Jin.
All past events will be forgiven and he will be highly valued by the court in the future.
on the contrary.
He didn't say what came after that, but even a fool could hear that the only outcome if he didn't surrender would be death.
After Lu Xianzong took his men away, Xu Daichou once again became the living devil who controlled everyone's life and death.
He found a chair and sat down.
And he left a message, waiting for them to realize their own mistakes, and anyone who wanted to surrender should stand up!
But Lu Xianzong and Prince Jin had been gone for a long time, and none of the people in front of him had moved. He could not wait any longer.
The first person to be attacked was Shen Juezhou, who had just made him lose his mind and caused him to lose face in front of his teacher.
"Bring him up to me."
Xu Daichou ordered his men to pull Shen Juezhou out of the crowd.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Shen Juezhou resisted.
But it's no use.
"What are you going to do!?"
He was taken before Xu Daichou.
Xu Daichou showed a cunning smile: "What are you doing? Shen Juezhou, aren't you good at speaking? I will pull out all your teeth in a while, and see how you can still be eloquent in the future!"
"You..." Shen Juezhou's eyes widened: "You dare!"
Xu Daichou sneered and stopped looking at him. Instead, he shouted to the courtiers below: "I will show you today that if you continue to be stubborn, this will be your fate!"
After saying that, he ordered his men to put Shen Juezhou on the rack.
Then he took a pair of pliers handed to him by his subordinates, pinched it a few times, and slowly walked towards Shen Juezhou.
"Pinch his mouth open!"
Shen Juezhou was a weak civil official who was subdued by the people around him in a few moves and his jaws were clamped open.
Looking at Xu Daichou who was walking towards him with a smirk on his face, he struggled desperately, but to no avail.
As he saw the pliers in Xu Daichou's hand inserted into his mouth, the fishy sweet taste of rust immediately filled his mouth.
However, when the pliers clamped one of his teeth, Shen Juezhou's heart fell into an ice cellar.
I was so scared that I closed my eyes tightly.
Seeing this, the court officials below dared not say a word.
Just as Xu Daichou exerted force and prepared to extract the tooth.
Next second.
He was hit on the back of his hand by something!
"ah!"
He cried out in pain, opened his fingers, and the pliers fell to the ground.
His facial features were distorted as he shook his hands and looked around!
"Who! Come out!" he roared viciously, because his hand bones were broken and he was in great pain.
Of course, we must quickly find this person hiding in the dark, catch him! Kill him!
But with his roar, a large group of people suddenly rushed in.
Looking at the number of people who were more than three or four times theirs, Xu Daichou didn't even care about the pain in his hands.
"You... who are you?" Xu Daichou asked.
The generals and other soldiers loyal to Lu Xianzong immediately retreated to his side.
"Master Xu, I haven't seen you for a while, and you seem to be so powerful."
A beautiful person wearing a black cloak with python pattern appeared in response.
Soon, Su Changzhao's men captured Xu Daichou and others, and made them kneel on the open space where the court officials had been before.
Su Changzhao came to the chair where Xu Daichou had sat before, shook out his cloak, sat on it majestically, and his beautiful peach eyes swept over everyone present.
The corners of her pretty lips curled up: "Why, are you all mute?"
As soon as these words came out.
All the ministers shouted in unison: "Greetings to the Nine Thousand Year Old, a thousand years old, a thousand thousand years old..."
