Chu Qinghuan is dead!
When Chu Yao heard the news, he was meeting with the hall master and the great elder in the secret room.
"not me."
Seeing the Palace Master and Great Elder Qi Qi, Chu Yao shook his head with a serious face: "When I left, she was still alive, and told me to hurry up and kill Ye Mo."
Hall Master withdrew his gaze and looked at the subordinate who had come to report: "Who else has been to the cell?"
Subordinate: "The Fifth Elder, the Sixth Elder, and the Seventh Elder have been there, but they went together."
The Great Elder looked at the Hall Master: "Even if the three of you go together, you may not know how to do it."
Hall Master shook his head: "The three of them can't do it. No matter who makes a move, the other two will find out." As he spoke, he got up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Chu Qinghuan died, but the treasure was not revealed. It's hard to explain to the emperor!"
The Great Elder looked at the Hall Master: "Is there really a treasure? Could this be a rumor deliberately spread by the Regent's lineage in order to survive? If there is a treasure, the emperor should have the news."
Hall Master did not speak.
It is true that there are such a batch of treasures, but they are not in the hands of the emperor, but are passed on word of mouth by the successive masters of the Hall of Reincarnation.
When I left this treasure at the beginning, I had a good intention at the beginning. If there is a problem with the emperor's inhumanity in Dachu, the Hall of Reincarnation will use this treasure to make things right.
Unfortunately, the Great Chu lineage is only five generations old, and the clan threatened the imperial power.
The previous Master of the Hall of Reincarnation and the Regent got mixed up. If it weren't for the joint efforts of several elders and the Empress Dowager in the palace, the lineage of the Regent would be the one who now controls the world.
Chu Yao doesn't care much about the treasure. All he thinks about now is the traitor in the Hall of Reincarnation.
The Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder dared to go directly to see Chu Qinghuan, so it shouldn't be the three of them.
Now there are only four elders left, the second elder, the third elder, the fourth elder, and the eighth elder.
"Okay, I will personally report Chu Qinghuan's death to the emperor, you all step down." The hall master waved his hands at the elder and Chu Yao.
Chu Yao paused for a moment: "Hall Master, it's about the traitor"
Hall Master looked at Chu Yao: "The fifth elder violated the patriarchal law. I will hold an elder meeting in two days, remove him from the position of elder, and then you will replace him."
Chu Yao was not satisfied with the hall master's answer, and just about to speak again, he was dragged out of the secret room by the elder.
After came out, Chu Yao looked at the elder: "What does the master mean? Don't pursue the traitor?"
The Great Elder was silent for a while: "Chu Qinghuan is dead. Whether there is a royal treasure or not, it has become a secret. At this time, it is meaningless to pursue the traitor. That person does not dare to make any small moves."
Chu Yao was full of anger: "But I was almost killed!"
The Great Elder gave him a squinted look: "Didn't the Palace Master promise to give you the position of elder? You have become an elder, and when the clan sees you in the future, they will give you some face. This compensation is enough."
Chu Yao snorted coldly: "Even if there is no fifth elder, I can still be an elder."
The Great Elder was speechless: "It's been so many years, why haven't you grown?"
"The position of an elder is a radish and a hole. As long as we are still there, no matter how high your martial arts and abilities are, you have to wait obediently."
Said, sighed.
"Don't blame the hall master, the hall master also has the helplessness of the hall master."
"You should know that the previous emperors had very ambiguous attitudes towards the Hall of Reincarnation. After the Prince Regent case happened, the trust of Emperor Renzong and the current emperor in the Hall of Reincarnation has become even worse."
"Now that someone and Chu Qinghuan are going to make accomplices again, the emperor will have even more reason to reduce the power of the Hall of Reincarnation."
"As early as Emperor Renzong's time, the clan was severely suppressed. Now, except for a few clans trusted by the emperor, they still have some real power. Most of the clans spend their days lazily at home. This is not a good thing."
The Great Elder patted Chu Yao on the shoulder: "You should know how much the Palace Master thinks of you, or else you wouldn't have let you inherit the internal strength of the Supreme Master."
"Brother Yao, if you want to become a person in power, you must know how to put the overall situation first, and take second place with your personal preferences. This point, you have to learn it hard."
Chu Yao knew that the Great Elder was doing it for his own good, and that what he said was reasonable, but he was still very aggrieved.
When he was a child, he couldn't resist the person who seriously injured him, but now that he is capable, he still can't, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he feels.
At this moment, a black-robed guard ran over in a hurry: "Grand Elder, it's not good."
The great elder looked over: "What happened again?"
The black-robed guard was panting heavily: "Second Elder. Second Elder. He fell down the stone steps and died!"
"What?!"
Chu Yao and the Great Elder's eyes widened at the same time.
"Where is the person?"
"Everyone dare not move, the Second Elder is still lying on the square."
The Great Elder turned around and went to find the Hall Master, while Chu Yao rushed to the square.
Seeing the second elder lying in a pool of blood, Chu Yao looked up at the spiraling stone steps, his eyes flickering.
The second elder is a ninth-rank master, and he fell down the stone steps. This reason is too far-fetched.
Suddenly, Chu Yao seemed to have thought of something, and left quickly.
"Boom boom boom~"
There was a sound of knocking, and the stone chamber opened. Chu Yao walked in quickly, and saw Shi Fuxin sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Shi Fuxin opened her eyes the moment he came in: "You are finally back, how is the investigation going?"
Chu Yao stared at Shi Fuxin carefully, without speaking.
Shi Fuxin frowned: "Why are you looking at me like that?" With a vigilant face, she quickly got up, "Are you trying to hurt me?" She looked left and right, as if looking for an opportunity to escape.
Chu Yao's eyes became less probing: "You haven't been out, have you?"
Shi Fuxin said unhappily: "I really want to go out, but did you give me a chance?"
Don’t look at Chu Yao trying to open the stone door in front of her, but in fact, she still kept a hand secretly. If she didn’t have spiritual strength, she would almost be discovered.
Chu Yao then withdrew his gaze, turned around and was about to leave again.
Shi Fuxin saw it, and hurried forward: "Take me with you."
Unfortunately, the stone gate was closed too quickly, and no one could be caught.
Shi Fuxin looked at the closed stone door, curled her lips: "Unreliable guy." She followed behind Chu Yao with her mental strength released.
After Chu Yao left Shi Fuxin, he went straight to the second elder's mission room.
In the Hall of Reincarnation, each elder will be equipped with a mission delivery room, where mission stubs will be kept for the missions issued by the elders.
Chu Yao avoids the guards, enters the mail room, and quickly looks through the tasks issued by the second elder recently.
Soon, a task stub was found.
"Zhenghe and his family were arrested!"
Seeing this stub, Chu Yao was puzzled, but he quickly put the stub away in his arms, and then left the mail room.
When he returned to the square again, the hall master and other elders were all present.
In the hall of reincarnation, an elder died. This is a big event, and the faces of the hall master and others are very ugly.
"where did you go?"
The Great Elder came to Chu Yao and asked in a low voice.
Chu Yao knew that the first elder was asking the question for the hall master, and he didn't hide it: "I went to the mail room of the second elder in the first hall. I suspect that he is a traitor."
Chu Yao shook his head: "No, but his death is the biggest evidence."
The Great Elder didn't speak any more.
Chu Qinghuan just died on the front foot, and the second elder also died on the back foot. Anyone can link the two together.
But, who killed the second elder?
The Great Elder cast a vague glance at the Hall Master.
In the Hall of Reincarnation, the only person who can kill an elder silently is the Hall Master.
The reason why the Hall Master chose to suppress the traitor was because the Emperor would not hate the Hall of Reincarnation, but the traitor should also be deeply disgusted, so he chose to execute it in secret?
It's not impossible.
"The fifth elder allowed his subordinates to break into the tomb of the living dead without permission, and cut off the position of elder. In the future, Chu Yao will be responsible for the affairs that the second and fifth elders are responsible for."
The hall master ignored the discussion caused by his order, patted Chu Yao on the shoulder, and left quickly.
Chu Yao looked at the advice given to him by the crowd, glanced at the second elder on the ground, then turned and left.
Chu Yao returned to the stone room again, and was immediately grabbed by Shi Fuxin's arm.
Looking at the arm tightly held by Shi Fuxin, Chu Yao frowned: "I don't like being touched by others."
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "Please believe me, I don't want to do this either, but I don't feel safe when you lock me up here." After finishing speaking, the strength in her hand was a bit heavier.
Chu Yao suppressed the urge to get rid of Shi Fuxin: "I'm going to check things for you."
Shi Fuxin: "Have you found out? Who is going to deal with me?"
Chu Yao thought of the mission stub he found from the second elder. The mission only pointed out that he had to deal with Shi Fuxin's family, but he didn't say the reason. He really wanted to know why.
The Second Elder dealt with Shi Fuxin's family probably because of Chu Qinghuan.
How did Shi Fuxin's family offend Chu Qinghuan?
Chu Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi Fuxin in front of him. In the case of the downfall of Duke Qing's mansion, this guy's family should also be involved, right?
If he remembers correctly, Duke Qing's mansion wanted to marry this girl's sister, and it ended up being very unpleasant. After this girl's confidant smile opened, it seems that Duke Qing's mansion went to find trouble.
Tsk tsk, this girl's family has a motive for committing the crime!
Duke Qing’s mansion fell too quickly, and Chu Qinghuan’s identity was exposed too quickly. There are many things that are unclear. Thinking about it now, he and Ye Mo might have been pawns.
Seeing Chu Yao scrutinizing herself, Shi Fuxin raised her head and pretended to be shy and said, "You will misunderstand me if you look at me so affectionately."
Chu Yao shook his head, looked up at the top of the stone, knowing that it was useless to ask, and was too lazy to ask: "Let's go."
Shi Fuxin held him back: "Where are you going? You haven't told me to check the matter yet?"
Chu Yao felt that Shi Fuxin was really challenging his limit, so he said patiently: "Leave here first, or do you want to stay here forever?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head.
Chu Yao: "If you want to leave, just follow me."
Shi Fuxin accepted it as soon as she saw it, and left the stone room after Chu Yao.
After leaving the stone room, Chu Yao took Shi Fuxin up the stone steps to avoid people.
"Is this going out?"
"What else? Do you still want to visit?"
"It's not impossible."
"Go and visit, I'll go first."
"No, you brought me down, you have to take me out."
‘Boom~’
The boulder was removed and closed again, and Shi Fuxin reappeared on the cliff that was kidnapped by pirates.
There are no traces of fighting on the cliff.
Chu Yao didn't stay, and walked down the mountain.
"Wait for me."
Shi Fuxin caught up with Chu Yao: "You haven't told me who is dealing with me yet."
Chu Yao took out the task stub from his arms and threw it to Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin took a look at it, and there was only Shi Zhenghe's family on the paper, and nothing else: "You have no beginning and no end, and I can't understand, who is dealing with our family? Why? To deal with us?"
Chu Yao stopped suddenly, and Shi Fuxin almost ran into him.
"You have to ask yourselves this."
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, she was still chubby, but her body grew a lot taller.
In the harmless face of humans and animals, there is a pair of black eyes that turn around and turn sharply, and you can tell that you are not a law-abiding person.
Shi Fuxin: "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. My business is so prosperous, it's normal to be jealous. There are so many people with mental illnesses this year. How do I know why people want to deal with me?"
Looking at Chu Yao, "I don't bother to inquire about your reincarnation hall, anyway, you don't know how to say it."
"But Chu Yao, I'm your savior, so just tell me, is this trouble over?"
Chu Yao looked at her: "As long as you don't provoke the Hall of Reincarnation, the Hall of Reincarnation will not bother you anymore."
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Chu Yao: "Are you really not curious about the reason, or do you already know the reason?"
Shi Fuxin looked at the inquiring Chu Yao, rolled her eyes, and Yan Ran smiled: "Guess!"
Guess your size!
Chu Yao really wanted to swear, but he endured it and continued to move forward.
Shi Fuxin trotted to keep up: "Chu Yao, we have experienced life and death together, in the future you have to cover me up, if I get into trouble, I will go to you for help."
Chu Yao was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "Shi Fuxin, you are a daughter's family."
Shi Fuxin: "Don't worry, I know this better than you."
Chu Yao took a deep breath: "Girl, I have never seen someone as thick-skinned as you."
When Shi Fuxin saw that he couldn't talk to her, she was in a good mood: "Then you see now." Seeing Chu Yao sulked, she suddenly felt like teasing, since she was idle anyway.
Shi Fuxin trotted to the front of Chu Yao, walked backwards, and said with a smile, "I have also enriched your life experience, you should thank me."
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin and didn't want to talk anymore, but he didn't show any rejection either.
Few people would play around in front of him like this. When he was a child, he was deliberately alienated and excluded. When he grew up, others no longer dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
He suddenly discovered that he didn't really hate others treating him like this.
Shi Fuxin walked ahead with her hands behind her back, thinking about the Temple of Reincarnation in her mind.
Chu Qinghuan had his eyes on her because of Le Wu's death, and then used the treasure map to lure the second elder of the Hall of Reincarnation to do things for her, and designed to arrest her.
It is estimated that the second elder wanted to catch himself first, and then use her to lure his father and the others to come to rescue him, and then wiped out their family.
Now that Chu Qinghuan and the Second Elder are dead, and Chu Yao has made the finishing touches, there should be no follow-up to this matter.
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao. After she killed the second elder, this guy immediately ran to the second elder's room to find evidence, and his mind was still bright.
Chu Yao probably guessed that the downfall of Duke Qing's mansion might have something to do with their family, but it's not a big problem, since he couldn't find anything anyway!
