Someone wants him to die.

He also had to die.

Assassinating the prince is a serious crime of treason.

If he does not die, he will be the only one who suffers.

...

The prefect's office.

Zhao Quan was drinking tea in the study, and Murong stood on one side and reported to Zhao Quan word by word what happened to Bishui Building tonight.

When Zhao Quan heard this, he said, "Die?"

Murong nodded.

Zhao Quan sighed, "You are so dying. When he dies, anything can be pushed to his head. Your Lord Xue's trick to kill someone with a knife is amazing!"

Murong Dao: "Everything is under the calculations of our ancestors."

Zhao Quan smiled, "That's what we say, our family is just a messenger. Now that His Majesty's birthday is approaching, hurry up and settle the case so as not to cause trouble for him."

Murong Tiech nodded and said, "It's just... He Jingshi..."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He is from Princess Taiping's side, and he has a good personal relationship with Xie Zhihua. I'm afraid he will continue to investigate, so I'm afraid it will be a little trouble."

Zhao Quan said: "Then we have to see how many heads he has."

...

It was already late at night when the news of Xie Zhihua's death reached Xu Ting's ears.

He was writing a memorial to apologize in the study. As the chief official promoted by His Majesty himself, he shouldn't have made such a mistake, but since it has been launched, there is no reason to turn back. Although the imperial envoys did not investigate in depth, he was the initiator of this matter.

In the memorial, he requested to resign from his position as governor of Jiangsu due to his old age and illness.

This is also a last resort.

After all, he issued an order to seal the Jiangnan Mint Bureau, and this time, the wealth of some people in the capital was cut off. Even if the court did not pursue it, it would be difficult to move forward in the officialdom in the future. It would be better to retreat bravely and gain a good reputation.

"Sir, Xie Zhihua committed suicide by taking poison in Bishuilou!"

Xu Ting put down the pen in his hand and confirmed it repeatedly before accepting the news.

A certain hope arose in his heart. After retiring from the affairs, he lit the memorial on the candlestick and burned it into the book basket. He leaned on the desk and thought about how to act next.

The door opens without wind.

A man in black masked came in.

Xu Ting was shocked to see this and was about to call someone, but was stopped by the man, "If I wanted to kill you, you have already died countless times."

Xu Ting calmed down and looked at the person who came, "Who are you?"

The man in black stretched out his hands, gestured with his thumbs crossed, and then placed it on his chest. Xu Ting saw this gesture, "You are..."

The man in black said, "Mr., do you remember the oath under the lotus pond on the top scholar's building back then?"

Xu Ting was shocked, "You sent the letter on my desk before?"

The man in black could not refuse, and there was no answer. His exposed eyes flashed with brilliance, staring at Xu Ting a little at a loss.

Xu Ting fell into painstaking thoughts.

At that time, Xie Zhihua looked for Xu Ting during the day. After Xu Ting refused, the letter appeared on the desk that night. He thought that the man in black and Xie Zhihua were in the same group. After a struggle of thought, he chose to refuse. Now that Xie Zhihua is dead, he came to the door again.

"I remember that if I care about the world and have awe, I am a person in my God's religion."

The man in black nodded, "Very good."

He slowly came to Xu Ting, "In those days, you were able to pass the Jinshi and enter the Hanlin Academy, which was the protection of the Divine Cult. Over the years, you have risen to the top and have a prosperous official career. The Divine Cult is even more fueled by the Divine Cult. Now, it is time for you to repay the Divine Cult."

After saying that, he placed a wax ball in front of Xu Ting.

When I opened the wax ball, there were only a few simple sentences inside, but it was this sentence that made Xu Ting stand upside down and almost fell from his seat. This news.

This news is too explosive.

It was so explosive that Xu Ting was shivering. He gasped for a long time before he could barely digest the short few words.

The man in black was not surprised by Xu Ting's reaction.

After a long time, Xu Ting calmed down from his shock and asked, "Why me?"

"Because Lord Xu is fair, impartial, non-party, and only loyal to the emperor. He is the emperor's minister. This matter is brought up by you, with higher credibility and more shocking."

God's religion?

How exactly does one exist?

Xu Ting is a senior official of the second rank, but why hasn't he heard of this organization for so many years of his career? But he really knows that the existence of this organization can cause the Gongyuan to catch fire, make the imperial examination heavy test, and get the scientific examination questions. The energy of this organization can be imagined.

And all this was more than 20 years ago.

Now that they have disappeared for so long, they suddenly come to the door and give themselves such exciting news.

reject?

He had never thought about it.

That was a force that he could not resist at all.

After a long time, he said, "When?"

The man in black said, "Don't be too early, nor too late. It's just right the day before the birthday."

Before His Majesty’s 60th birthday?

Xu Ting's heart was cold. He knew that this news would create a storm in the capital, and its impact would not be less than the case of Song Jingang's blood flowing into Kyoto, but now that he has the handle in the other party's hands, he has to follow.

“I have a problem.”

The man in black nodded.

"Why do you do this? Who am I working for?"

The man in black said, "The world has been suffering and bright for a long time. In order to seek immortality, the emperors of the world have used any means to put the people of the world in the fire and water. The capital city, from the powerful palace to the civil and military officials, are in harmony, like a ball of mud. It is better not to be so kings. If they are not destroyed or established, they can only turn the decay in one fell swoop. And you are serving the Divine Cult!"

"You have been planning for this for twenty years?"

The man in black shook his head, "We have never made arrangements, we just took the opportunity to act and follow the trend. Twenty years ago, how could we expect that the current situation in the capital would be like this? But when the opportunity appears, we just make a little use of it, and it will be enough to stir up a huge wave! God bless the world!"

When he finished his last sentence, the man in black was gone.

It's like he's never been here.
