I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

"My senior brother is not only a martial arts master, but also the favorite disciple of the previous sect leader of the Qiaoshou Sect."

"The Qiaoshou School has two great skills: theft and disguise."

"So he was in disguise?" In Long Bin's memory of the dead ghost, the dead ghost had met Wang Wucun last spring, and the two had a pleasant conversation at the time.

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "I can also do disguises, but how is it possible to impersonate someone so convincingly that the person being impersonated and their family wouldn't suspect anything for years?"

Zhu Shouwang sighed and said, "Wang Wucun, Hua Lingchun, and I are fellow disciples. However, I was expelled from the sect by our master because of my lust for women. Hua Lingchun studied with Wang Wucun for eight years and is very familiar with him."

Long Bin said with some sorrow, "If that's the case, Wang Wucun might have died long ago."

Zhu Shouwang said, "Three years before the Qin family was destroyed, Wang Wucun was killed by him."

Long Bin changed the subject and asked, "Let's talk about Empress Xiao's Heavenly Way Society."

Zhu Shouwang shuddered upon hearing this, and asked in utter astonishment, "You even know about such a top-secret matter?"

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. You'd better tell the truth."

"The Tiandao Society was established to build up strength for Xiao Li's competition for the Empress title." Zhu Shouwang said with a bitter face, "Because I have money, she pulled me in and used my money to bribe people for her."

Long Bin asked, "Did you poison the late Empress?"

"Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary. Only three people knew about the poisoning of Empress Zhao: myself, Empress Xiao, and Your Majesty. How did you know?"

"Stop asking useless questions, keep talking about the Heavenly Dao Society."

"When Consort Xiao was promoted to Empress, she was supposed to disband the Heavenly Dao Society. We all knew that keeping this organization around would cause trouble sooner or later. However, just then, news spread that the old king had left a will appointing you as the Crown Prince."

"One night, taking advantage of His Majesty's drunkenness, Empress Xiao confirmed this news with him. The next day, she decided that the Heavenly Way Society would not only not be disbanded, but would also be strengthened until Long Yingkun became king."

"The plan to massacre the Qin family was devised at that time."

Long Bin understood; the Heavenly Dao Society had long planned to destroy the Qin family.

"Twelve years ago, in the autumn, your second uncle came back to visit relatives. Duan Cunmin said that this was a good opportunity to kill them all. Therefore, the Qin family massacre was secretly planned by the man surnamed Duan."

"I've told you everything I know," Zhu Shouwang said pitifully, looking at Long Bin.

Long Bin asked through gritted teeth, "Why did you dig up the Qin family's ancestral graves?"

"Duan Cunmin said that the Qin family had been national advisors for three generations, and the king at the time gave them many spiritual objects to preserve their bodies as burial goods."

The old thief cried, "My sect's sacred cultivation materials are those spiritual objects, so I... I had evil intentions."

"Tell me Chen Lei's true identity."

"Hu Jiannong, an officer in the South Camp."

Long Bin waved his hand and struck, and with a bang, Zhu Shouwang turned into a bloody mist.

The following day, three major news stories broke in Lishui City, Linjiang District:

The Marquis's palace caught fire last night, and the Marquis was so frightened that he went insane.

The fire at the Marquis's house was set by Hu Jiannong, an officer in the Southern Camp. Hu Jiannong was chased and killed by the Marquis's guards.

The father-in-law of each family committed incest with his eldest daughter-in-law; the eldest son of each family committed suicide in anger; and Zhu Shouwang disappeared.

When the breaking news spread, Long Bin had already fallen asleep at his home in Fengleji.

Meanwhile, inside the secret chamber of Qianmen Lishui Hall.

Wang Wucun, with his black hair but a full white beard, was talking to a middle-aged man.

"Lord Zhu, these three news items are probably not simple," Wang Wucun said cautiously.

"What do you want to say?" the other person asked after a pause.

"The people who died were all participants in that case back then."

Lord Zhu asked in surprise, "What do you suspect?"

"I suspect that it was either Qin's family or Qin Haojie's subordinates who made the move."

"Wasn't it said that the Qin family was wiped out?"

"At the time, we checked and found that no one was missing."

"So, it was Qin Lao Er's subordinates who made the move?" Lord Zhu thought for a moment and then said, "His old subordinates were silent back then, why did they suddenly think of avenging him? Besides, most of those people have been demoted, they shouldn't have much power anymore, right?"

Wang Wucun frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, perhaps the Qin family's wealth is poisonous."

"You mean these people are desperate now, using the pretext of avenging the Qin family to seize the Qin family's past assets?"

That's how I understand it.

Lord Zhu nodded and said, "That is indeed a possibility. When people are poor and hateful, they will take risks. That is why I disagreed with the idea of ​​exterminating them."

"Lord Zhu, how should we handle this matter?"

Lord Zhu frowned and said, "Let's put this aside for now. Anyway, no one but me knows your identity."

"Our most urgent task is to cooperate with the Second Prince to eliminate the Southern King."

Wang Wucun said, somewhat absentmindedly, "Zhu Shouwang's disappearance will probably affect our plans."

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhu slapped his forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten about his memorial?"

"Lord Zhu, he is indeed a lecher, and he did have an affair with his wife. If it weren't for the memorial, his life or death would be none of our concern."

Lord Zhu shook his head, got up and paced around the room for a few moments, and said, "Li Guixiao has encountered a mishap, and we can't count on him for anything else. We only have Mount Hua as our option now."

Wang Wucun stood up and said, "We must get rid of the Southern King!"

Lord Zhu glanced at the rays of sunlight streaming through the window and muttered to himself, "The imposter envoy should be arriving soon, right?"

Wang Wucun nodded and said, "An hour ago, a message came by carrier pigeon saying that we were still more than a hundred li away and had already reached the banks of the Chu River."

"Brother Hua, I suddenly realized that Prefect Ma Gui should not be allowed to live; it will cause future trouble."

Wang Wucun nodded and said, "I will send someone to deal with him immediately."

"That's right, no poison, no manliness. Anyway, a lot of people died last night, one more won't make a difference."

"For the sake of the Heavenly Way Society and for the Empress's eternal reign, we have no choice but to act as executioners."

The Buddha said: "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Just as Lord Zhu was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "We've talked for so long, yet the Prince of Nan hasn't mentioned anything. Isn't that a bit strange?"

“Lord Zhu, there are the Second Prince’s men among his guards. That good-for-nothing has been practicing his skills in a secret room.”

"..."

Lord Zhu paused for a moment and said, "I have a feeling something's not right. Tell Lan'er to be careful immediately."

Lord Zhu turned around, pushed open the door, and said, "If you treat the Prince of Nan as a useless person, you may not be far from death."

The voice still echoed in Wangwu Village's ears, but the person had long since disappeared.

"Good heavens, no wonder he's a fifth-grade grandmaster." Wang Wucun was so shocked he almost lost his teeth.

As Wang Wucun emerged from the secret room, Long Bin from Fengleji sprang out of bed.

His seventh sense, which he had cultivated in his previous life, suddenly manifested, and a tremendous danger to his life was approaching.

Just as Long Bin was about to open the door, he heard someone outside shout, "Your Majesty, Princess Lan has arrived."
