Prime Minister Li cried out, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You, you ate one before! Spit it out now!"

Prime Minister Wang and the Crown Prince rushed forward together.

The emperor quickly dodged three large hands that rushed towards his back and said calmly, "Calm down, I'm fine."

Just at this moment, the voice of my heart rang out.

System: [It's okay. I just checked the situation. The pigeon was not poisoned. The pill got stuck in the trachea when it was taken, and it choked to death.]

Everyone:...

Yuan Ruan: [Is that so? Fortunately, Big Brother and the others didn't know. It can be considered a wrong move with a positive result. Actually, I am just too worried. If Big Brother is really in danger, I will definitely trigger a mission to protect his national destiny.]

System: [Uh... No way. Ah Ruan forgot the plot of the twelve hours? And the emperor encountered many dangers along the way. I didn't see the triggering of the national destiny mission! Maybe the national destiny will not necessarily want to save the tyrant. ]

emperor:……

Everyone tried to keep a calm expression and pretended they heard nothing and started eating.

Yuanruan: [Ahem, no. I think it’s because Guoyun believes that Big Brother is protected by me, and everything can turn bad luck into good luck, so it didn’t trigger. ]

The emperor felt warmed in his heart, knowing that his son was right.

Afterwards, Yuan Ruan had a simple meal and was sent back to Kunning Palace by the prince to rest.

Afterwards, the emperor held a small court meeting and began to discuss how to treat the Taoist priests.

The Minister of Rites suggested: "Your Majesty, Master Wen is indeed abominable, but he should be an isolated case. We can still look at other Taoist priests."

The Minister of War objected angrily, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary. Judging from the two Taoist priests currently, one is not very capable, and the other has extremely bad character. I don't think it's necessary to waste the time of our small country to select a Taoist priest."

The Minister of Revenue said: "The tofu and explosives that the little imperial teacher mentioned..."

The Minister of War said: "The young Imperial Master also said that there is no rush, and we will see when he grows up. Besides, now that Taoist Master Zhou has surrendered, if the young Imperial Master really wants to do it, we have someone who can be used temporarily."

After these words were spoken, the court officials began to talk about it.

Some supported the Minister of Revenue, while others supported the Minister of War. Both sides began to argue by citing classics.

At this time, the prince had already sent Yuan Ruan back.

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Prince, do you support the Minister of Revenue or the Minister of War?"

The prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, I do not agree with this."

No one was surprised by this answer. After all, the prince was well-known for his benevolent character, and the court officials all guessed that the prince would choose to smooth things over.

However, the next second, everyone's pupils shrank slightly, and they were all shocked by the prince's words.

The prince said, "Wen the liar has done so many bad things. I think he should be paraded through the streets, have his crimes read out to the public, and beheaded as a warning to others! At the same time, we should thoroughly investigate the Taoists in Daxia, and punish those who violate the law according to the law."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into complete silence.

The court officials were slightly surprised: Beheading? This, this is something the prince would say.

After a moment, the emperor laughed and said, "Yes! Prime Minister Li, there is still a commander."

Prime Minister Li and the commander of the Jinyiwei stepped out at the same time, bowed and said, "I am here."

"You should assist the prince in this matter," said the emperor.

Prime Minister Li and the commander bowed at the same time and said, "Yes."

The emperor nodded slightly and said calmly, "Oh, that's right. It's not just beheading. Wenjiazhuang is guilty of the same crime. The whole family will be beheaded and their entire clan will be exterminated. Go down."

The court officials were shocked by the familiar feeling of the formula.

The prince was startled and wanted to speak but was forcibly stopped by Prime Minister Li, and they bowed together to receive the order.

At night, Wenjiazhuang was surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

At the same time, Daxia gave up trying to win over other Taoists and began to investigate and expel them, especially those alchemists and Taoists who claimed they could refine elixirs of immortality. Once discovered, they were basically scammers and were thrown into prison.

……

Two days later, the Taoists gathered again to wait for Master Wen.

After waiting for a long time, Master Wen still disappeared.

The expressions on the Taoist priests' faces were somewhat numb, and even a little expected.

Someone couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Ha, you are so confident, but you are jealous of others' treatment and secretly enjoy the wealth and glory by yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were instantly recognized by many Taoist priests.

Taoist Fang slapped the table and said, "I have sent someone to inquire, no need..."

At this time, the person who had passed on the news came running in like a tornado, and said in a hurry: "Masters, yes, there is news!"

The Taoists were very calm, and one said in a nonchalant tone: "I understand, it's good news, right?"

The man said anxiously, "Oh no! That's not the case! Taoist Master Wen was paraded through the East Gate and is said to be executed at the Meridian Gate tomorrow!"

Taoist Priests:!!!

what? !

Parade through the streets? Waiting to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate?!

Taoist Fang stood up suddenly and said hurriedly: "Take me to rescue them quickly!"

Taoist Priest Fang took the lead and walked in front, and the other Taoist priests followed in a hurry.

When the Taoist priests arrived at the parade, they saw Taoist priest Wen, who was tied up with iron chains and had a bitter look on his face, and was shouting out his injustice.

The common people below saw that Master Wen kept crying out for justice, and some people below also shouted loudly:

"Master Wen has profound Taoist skills and is highly respected. He is a well-known immortal! We can't catch him!"

"Yes. Some people didn't believe in Master Wen before, and as a result, the whole village was robbed by bandits!"

"What?! He is the immortal from Wenjia Village. Oh, he can't be caught! My son just wouldn't listen to my advice and broke his leg when he came back."

……

When Master Wen, who was a little embarrassed in the prison car, heard these words, he sighed even louder: "I have been practicing Taoism diligently all my life, and have never done anything that is against the will of heaven..."

Before he could finish his words, an official came out and told him all about the five generations of descendants of Taoist Master Wen and how Wenjiazhuang used despicable methods to make everyone believe in Taoist Master Wen's Taoism.

Finally, the official shouted, "The person here is not Taoist Master Wen, but the fifth-generation descendant of Wen Family Manor, Wen Li. Come, use a basin of water to wash off the fake makeup on his face now."

Everyone:! ! !

Taoist Master Wen looked extremely panicked, and Taoist Master Fang and others looked at Taoist Master Wen in shock.

Soon, a minor official climbed onto the prison van and rubbed water roughly on Master Wen's face. After a while, the gray hair turned black again. Master Wen raised his head again, and his age definitely did not exceed 25 years old.

The common people were in an uproar.

Someone suddenly burst into tears: "Ahhh! You're actually a liar! I specifically asked you to treat my sister, no wonder she didn't get cured, it's because of you, a liar!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several common people who had once begged Master Wen to give them elixirs to save their lives but failed also started crying.

"And my son's leg! You broke it!"

"You liar! My uncle's family was starved to death by you."

……

For a moment, the common people glared at Master Wen, and a few young and energetic people began to smash things on the prison van crazily.

In the midst of the public outrage, almost all those in Taoist robes were blatantly targeted.

At this time, a Taoist priest in a green robe and leaning on a cane rushed over, stood in front of the many angry people, and persuaded them patiently.

The people recognized that this was the lame Taoist priest Li who had provided free medical treatment to them in Daxia for three years. They suppressed their anger and slowly retreated.

Taoist Fang looked at the other person in disbelief and quickly lowered his head.

The other fellow Taoists squeezed out of the crowd in a panic, and none of them took off the rotten vegetable leaves on their bodies.

They surrounded Taoist Master Li in surprise, saying, "It's the senior brother!" "The highly respected Taoist Master Li has been in Xia Country all along." "Why did the senior brother leave without saying goodbye?"

Taoist Fang maintained a constant arc of smile.

At this time, several men in flying fish suits strode forward and surrounded the Taoist priests. The Jinyiwei, who was in the lead, stepped forward and said with a look of disgust, "Are these the fraudulent Taoist priests? Ha, come on, let's go back to the government office and investigate thoroughly."

Someone asked anxiously, "Brother Li, what should we do now?"

"Stupid!" A Taoist priest pushed him and said, "You should go find Taoist Fang!"

Seeing that people's morale was low, Taoist Fang cursed Taoist Wen in his heart. He actually wanted to just leave, but he couldn't. If he gave up on Taoist Wen without making any effort this time, his prestige would be gone in the future, especially since Senior Brother Li was still here.

Taoist Fang pretended to be calm and said, "He made a big mistake!"

The Taoist priests looked at him anxiously.

Taoist Fang said: "But he is also my junior fellow apprentice. I will request to meet the young imperial master and use my Shenxiao Sect's unique skills to beg the Great Xia Imperial Master to spare his life."

Some of the Taoists were excited, while others were hesitant.

"What nonsense! Bullshit! Since he committed a crime, he deserves it!" He hit him with a cane.

Taoist Fang was beaten so hard that he grimaced in pain, but he still had his senior brother's authority in his heart and did not dare to speak.

Taoist Priest Li said calmly, "But he made a mistake and shouldn't have implicated all of you fellow Taoists. Don't panic, I'll go and ask for a chance to meet the young imperial master. All the thunder techniques in the world come from the Shenxiao Sect. Even if I have to give up the Shenxiao Sect's unique skills, I'll still ask for the safety of all of you fellow Taoists."

Taoist Fang also said quickly: "Not bad, not bad. I will go with you."

The Taoist friends were filled with tears: Please! There is no such thing as a third time! This time, please don’t let us wait in vain!
