This group of young eunuchs and gatekeepers did not dare to offend him easily.

Not to mention, Wei Chu had led a team to escort the teachers and students of Yingtian Academy out of the city yesterday, and today he appeared in front of the palace gate in such a special way, still with such a serious and tense expression.

The eunuch who was in charge of the communication did not dare to delay at all. After responding to Wei Chu, he lowered his head and ran quickly.

When the eunuch guarding the inner palace heard the message from the young eunuch, he did not dare to delay and handed the letter to Eunuch Hong.

When Eunuch Hong heard about this, not to mention the possibility of involving the goddess, the mere fact that Wei Chu wanted to enter the palace to see Emperor Qi was enough to make Eunuch Hong take it seriously.

He also walked into the Xuanzheng Hall in a hurry, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Qi, who was reviewing documents at his desk, raised his eyes and saw that the old man was sweating on his forehead, so he laughed and scolded him.

"What happened? Which minister was caught by the Dali Temple for embezzling a large amount of silver?"

Eunuch Hong wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Lord Wei Shaoqing wants to come to the palace to see you."

Emperor Qi's smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by a serious expression.

"Send him in," he said, "Also, have An Qi and the others sent any message back?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and ask Lord Wei Shaoqing to come. It will probably take another two hours before An Qi and his men send their next message."

"You go down."

Emperor Qi saw Eunuch Hong retreat and opened a lacquered wooden box on the table. There were only three notes inside, all of which were the news that An Qi and his party had brought back after following Qin Chaoyan and his party.

He put the three pieces of paper together and looked at them carefully, wondering what might have happened that caused Wei Chu to return to Kyoto to visit him.

Eunuch Hong bowed and left the Xuanzheng Hall, and his newly adopted godson Xiao Shunzi followed him.

"Godfather, is there anything I can do for you? Xiao Shunzi can do it for you."

Eunuch Hong glanced at him and said, "I have to do this job myself." He said, "Today, your foster father will teach you one thing. In this palace, whenever you encounter something concerning Wei Shaoqing, you must take the initiative to handle it. When you meet him, you must be more sincere. There are only benefits, no harm, in making friends with Wei Shaoqing."

"Yes, Xiao Shunzi remembered it."

Eunuch Hong came to Xizhimen gate in person to welcome Wei Chu. Everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Eunuch Hong was the chief eunuch beside Emperor Qi and he must not be offended.

Seeing him coming in person to greet Wei Chu, those who were secretly observing him had a new insight into Wei Chu's capacity.

As soon as Wei Chu entered the Xuanzheng Hall and was about to kneel down to pay homage, Emperor Qi stopped him with his hand.

"Don't copy your father's words. Tell me, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Emperor Qi said directly, "I already know that you encountered rain on the road and stayed in a deserted temple at night. There are human bones."

"Tell me something I don't know."

Wei Chu pursed his lips and raised the silk cloth that he had been holding in his hands since he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, the goddess knows the hardships of the people in Daqi, and has given us five different kinds of divine seeds that can produce a thousand kilograms per mu."

"What did you say!"

After hearing the content of Wei Chu's words, even Emperor Qi, who had become less and less likely to reveal his true nature in recent years, couldn't help but speak loudly, and his breathing became heavy for a few seconds.

Emperor Qi's eyes fell heavily on the silk cloth held in Wei Chu's hand, "Yes, is it wrapped in this cloth?"

"Quick, open it quickly! Let me take a look at this divine seed!"

When Wei Chu lifted the silk covering, Emperor Qi even subconsciously held his breath.

He came forward and carefully examined the plot of land in front of him, which he had never seen before. Even during the most difficult years when he was fighting and conquering cities, Emperor Qi had never known anything about farming.

However, this is a crop that can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu.

Even though Emperor Qi no longer worked in agriculture, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary thing that the Great Qi could possess. In fact, if it were not bestowed by the goddess now, it would be hard to say whether he would be able to possess it in ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Daqi has a goddess, which means it is blessed by heaven. The people of Daqi will remember the goddess's merits and offer incense to her for generations to come."

Emperor Qi called in Eunuch Hong who was guarding outside the palace, "Hong Zhao, go and call back Prime Minister Pei, no, go and call back all the civil and military officials. This is a major event for the Qi Dynasty, a matter of people's livelihood, and a matter of a hundred years. All the officials must be present."

Eunuch Hong's heart was filled with shock. What was going on? After the morning court session, all the officials and cultural relics officers had to be called back. This was the first time in the Da Qi Dynasty.

But no matter how frightened he was in his heart, the expression on his face only changed for a moment, and without further delay, he responded and hurried out of the hall.

For a moment, the city of Kyoto was extremely bustling.

A group of young eunuchs from the palace drove their carriages out to the capital road, and officials from various mansions came out one after another. Some of them did not even tidy up their collars before leaving the house.

Let’s not talk about what a “lively” scene it is in Kyoto.

Changle Village, mainly composed of officials from Jingzhao Prefecture, assisted by the magistrate of Ping County and others, was waiting on this muddy land. Under the gaze of Qin Chaoyan and others, the only remaining villagers in Changle Village petitioned and listed the crimes of Li Jian and his party one by one, with both witnesses and evidence.

On this muddy ground, the constables from Ping County acted as executioners and executed Li Jian and his gang on the spot.

Before the execution, Shen An and others whispered to Qin Chaoyan that there would be some blood on the scene, and asked her to move away so as not to dirty her eyes.

Qin Chaoyan did not agree to leave. She looked at Wei Wu and the others, especially Wei Zhao and the other four little rascals.

"Are you scared? The sword will cut their necks and chop off their heads. It will be a bloody scene."

Hearing Qin Chaoyan's words, Shen An and the others who had just used words like blood and stains to persuade them exchanged glances, feeling a little ashamed that the goddess actually knew what the execution looked like, and they were just deceiving her.

Chen Fengnian's face was firm, and he said, "Master, I'm not afraid. I want to see their end with my own eyes."

Wei Wu and Shan Ge had the same idea. Xiao Changkong clenched his fists and said, "Master, I want to see these bad guys sentenced!"

Qi Cheng and Wei Zhao also agreed with each other, clenching their fists in the same manner as Xiao Changkong.

Qi Mo pursed his lips, "Master, we all want to see it. We may be afraid, but we want to remember this scene in our minds." He said, "I want to remember the final outcome of these people who killed so many people, to remind myself at all times, and I also want to see the moment when the villagers of Changle Village can smile and feel relieved."

Qin Chaoyan nodded and raised his hand to touch the heads of the four little carrots one by one.

"Well, let's stay here and watch together."

Looking at this group of people, it is clear that justice is against the law, and their end is to lose their heads.
