Chapter 648

"But those who objected were still not satisfied. Several times they almost started, but they were blocked back by the high priest's staff. What should you do? Strange things happened. However, those who objected to the high priest and touched the staff had nightmares, nonsense, looked like crazy, and even committed suicide to apologize. They were obviously delirious."

"After sobering up, people with strong self-control realized that it was the problem of the staff, so they told the king of Chu that the high priest must be severely punished for using witchcraft without permission and harming courtiers. The high priest said that his staff was left to him by his master, that is, the former high priest. It was only used to investigate the secret of heaven. There was no problem. The reason why it was wrong was because those people were guilty of being thieves and were high priest The priest asked the king to investigate the courtiers to prove their innocence. "

"As soon as the courtiers heard this, Ho! I was going to kill you, but you even bite back and want to fuck me? That's good! They played one after another immediately to execute the high priest. Just when the two compartments were deadlocked, the king personally sent someone to check the two high priests and the courtiers, and the results..."

"As a result, there was no problem with the high priest, but something happened to those courtiers, right?" Han Zhan said.

"Yes!" Lu Lingyu patted her thigh, "Those courtiers were corrupt and deceived the superiors and subordinates. The king was furious. You know, the king hated corrupt officials very much. He immediately copied the moth's residence, executed them and exiled them. At one time, there were half of the officials in the court. The king personally ordered that the state of Chu would rather not have those who were slaughtered for officials than raise a group of evil people who ate and exploited the people People! "

When the water is clean, there is no fish. They all work in the court. How can their men be clean?

"No one expected that the king was so swift and resolute, and his face turned pale with fear. Instead of being punished, the high priest completely consolidated his position in the court and became the king's confidant. The king said that if it were not for the high priest, he would not find so many corrupt officials. That is, from that time on, people knew, maybe the high priest knew early in the morning, so he would have made a plan After these things, that is, from then on, no one in the state of Chu dared to disrespect the high priest. "

Han Zhan chuckled, "it's just inviting the king into the urn."

Lu Lingyu glanced: "what do you mean?"

Then he reacted: "do you mean the king did it on purpose?"

"You don't know?"

"How do I know about it?"

Lu Lingyu is smart, but this intelligence is only enough for him to protect himself.

What's more, he knows that it's none of his own business. As an official in the dynasty, he can't know too much or be too smart, otherwise he won't come to a good end.

Therefore, he never thought about the intention of the king of Chu.

Han Zhan sneered: "you are the Minister of the king of Chu. You don't know what your intention is. How can I know?"

Having said that, Han Zhan can conclude that perhaps from the beginning, this is what the king of Chu did with the high priest.

The high priest understood the intention of the king of Chu, so he took his plan and punished the corrupt officials for the king.

The king of Chu is really clever!

No wonder he will give people tax relief.

Although there are many taxes year after year, they may be comparable to the confiscated corrupt official residence?

It's better to cut taxes and win the title of Ming Jun.

If the Treasury has no money, check several corrupt officials. If the Treasury has money, the people will be more happy.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Han Zhan didn't admit it, but Lu Lingyu guessed it.

He was stunned and said, "I'm a real mother! It turns out that our king is so powerful!"

Han Zhan: "

He could see that Lu Lingyu was the king's loyal fan.

"Don't talk to me about what you have and what you don't have. Go on, aren't you the magic stick of the high priest? That's why?"

"Of course not. Since ancient times, all powerful treasures have been so common." Lu Lingyu approached Han Zhan and lowered his voice. "That magic staff can suck human blood and eat human flesh! It's a monster!"

"Suck human blood and eat human flesh?"

"Oh, my little Marquis, please keep your voice down!" Lu Lingyu quickly covered Han Zhan's mouth. "If this word is heard by others or spread to the ears of the high priest, I will die!"

Who doesn't know that the high priest hates others to mention his staff.

"Take away your dirty hands!" Han Zhan knocked off Lu Lingyu's hands with a folding fan. "An old man, talk well! What are you doing so close?"

"It's not about the length of people behind their backs. We should do a good job of confidentiality!" Lu Lingyu said quietly. "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Oh?" Han Zhan slightly raised his eyebrow.

"That was more than ten years ago. On that day, the king had a whim and insisted on holding me to fight crickets. I played with the king late into the night. The king of Chu was sleepy and wanted to rest. He asked the Chamberlain to take me to the side hall to rest. Shortly after the rest, I heard someone outside singing 'come back, come back', and I suddenly remembered that the king said, the high priest is doing it these days It's said that the high priest can understand ghosts and gods and have the ability to investigate the secrets of heaven. I'm really curious, so I lie down on the window and look. "

"As a result, I really saw that half of the sky in the palace was covered with rosy clouds. At that time, it was late at night. The sky was covered with rosy clouds, just like the evening. I didn't know how. I suddenly became fascinated when I looked at the rosy clouds. I didn't know how to follow."

Even now, Lu Lingyu is in a cold sweat. He still doesn't understand what happened to him. Why did he run to the high priest's bedroom.

The problem is how he went and how he came back. I have no impression.

He only knew that from the flowers and plants in the back hall, he saw a strange array painted at the feet of the high priest, which seemed to be a gossip array, but it was not. There were many dead slaves lying on those arrays, and the blood gushed continuously from the slaves, and the blood meandered to the center along the array, and the high priest's staff was inserted in the center of the array.

Strangely, those blood climbed up along the staff to the top, like a bottomless hole sucking blood. The more blood you sucked, the brighter the ruby at the top of the staff, and the color was the same as blood.

When the blood flow was clean, something strange happened again.

The bodies of those slaves disappeared quickly with the naked eye, and those disappeared bodies became small pieces of minced meat, covered with Dharma sticks.

Dark and scary, dark and strange.

Bright red blood, minced meat with blood, and thick white bones.

Lu Lingyu could not help retching. He even vomited out the water in his intestines, and his face was very white.

The wind blew and the cold hair stood up. Reason told him that he must leave immediately.

But somehow, he couldn't move his feet at all.

I could only watch the flesh and blood of those slaves being sucked by the staff until there was only a pile of debris left.

The staff is more beautiful than before, and it radiates strange light all over.

Seeing this, the lips of the high priest were slightly hooked, revealing a strange and gloomy smile.

Author Xiao BA (sneer): DBQ, I vomited twice. What qualifications do you have to do to me, the victim?
