Chapter 262 The Origin of Xishan Society [Seeking monthly votes! ]

"You are so cruel."

In a quiet teahouse opposite the Dragon and Tiger Hall, Liu Deng'er sat in a cubicle with her back against a gauze curtain, talking in a low voice to someone on the other side.

"I used to think you just practiced longer than me, but now I know you are really ruthless." There was a hint of amusement in her tone, "Thirty-two royal elders, basically the Jiang family royal family who have some status in the court, you wiped them all out."

"If you use your toes to think about it, you will know that I couldn't have done this." The voice of the person behind him was unhappy. "The more of these blood-sucking royal descendants of the Jiang family, the better it will be for us Jiuyang. I hope these useless people live a long life and have many children and grandchildren."

"So what did you do that day?" Liu Deng'er asked, "Just when you said you were going to cause some trouble, this big case happened."

The voice replied, "I originally wanted to use the appearance of the young master of the Whale Clan to kill one or two young members of the royal family. Unexpectedly, when I sneaked into the Spirit Blood Palace, I saw all the guards fainted on the ground, as if they were under a spell. I realized that something was wrong, and when I used my spiritual sense to investigate inside, I only felt that there were two extremely powerful auras, neither of which I could deal with. So I quickly retreated, and not long after I walked away, a fire started."

"He can make you feel extremely powerful and dare not get close to him. He should not be an ordinary Grandmaster, right?" Liu Deng'er said.

Three days ago, a major case occurred on Taihuang Mountain, which delayed her fight with Wen Yifan. The fight was not resumed until late at night, and she was defeated as expected.

However, she also showed considerable strength in the ring, which made many spectators feel sorry for her. If Liu Deng'er had better luck and drew a weaker opponent... such as the Dinggou Prince, she would have been able to advance in one fell swoop.

After the battle with Liang Yue, Jiang Yan's reputation was directly hit into the ditch, because his performance on stage was really a bit strange. As for the fact that his strongest magical power of phantom fire was restrained, the onlookers naturally didn't understand. Everyone just thought that Jiang Yan was hysterical, mumbling something after fighting with Liang Yue for a few times, and finally being beaten into a pig's head, losing the face of the royal family.

Fortunately, he was not the only royal family member to lose face that day.

A total of thirty-two royal elders were killed in the Lingxue Palace. Not only did their faces disappear, but their entire bodies were burnt by the Zhurong fire.

There was a large formation outside Taihuang Mountain, and it was impossible for anyone to enter or leave normally. Only on that day were a large number of people allowed to go up the mountain to watch the battle. The powerful person who could kill people silently in the Spirit Blood Hall would be impossible to find after blending into the crowd.

There is no need to investigate who did it.

Zhu Ronghuo had appeared in the capital several times before, and was closely connected to an organization called "Xishan Society". He was involved in the underground bank and the Tower of Babel case, and was even involved in an earlier case...

The court is now in a state of panic, and all civil and military officials are feeling threatened, knowing that a new storm is about to hit.

As a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Hall, Liu Deng'er could not have been unaware of these developments. She said that the "Green Snake" behind the scenes had killed the elders of the royal family, but was just mocking her for getting nothing.

"Definitely not." After hearing her words, Qingshe pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Those two people in the Heavenly Spirit Blood Hall are at least top Grandmasters. Even if they are not on the Tongtian Ranking, they must be close. Even if they are confronting each other and their attention is on each other, I dare not get any closer."

……

Ministry of Justice.

Although the target had been locked, everyone on Taihuang Mountain that day still had to be questioned based on the level of suspicion. It was three days later when the Xuanmen disciples were questioned.

After the routine questioning, Liang Fuguo called Liang Yue over alone. He was still occupying the office of Geng Shougong, the Minister of Justice, and sat there in a loud voice.

When he saw Liang Yue, he asked directly, "Did you ever suspect that I was the one who did the Spirit Blood Hall thing?"

His words hit the nail on the head. Liang Yue laughed awkwardly and said, "Since they died in the Zhurong fire, it must have been done by the evildoers of the Xishan Society." "Of course." Liang Fuguo nodded with satisfaction. "Since you will be working in the Ministry of Justice in the future, you should also have an idea of ​​the focus of the Ministry of Justice in the future."

He paused, then continued, "Your Majesty has issued an order to thoroughly investigate the members of the Khe San Society in the court."

"The court?" Liang Yue caught these two words.

"Yes." Liang Fuguo smiled and said, "Why do you think the arrest of Xishan Society has not been made public after the cloth shop case and the Babel Tower case? It is because this force has its roots in the court."

"Lord Zuo Xiang knew about them a long time ago?" Liang Yue heard the tone of his voice, it seemed that he knew quite a lot about this organization.

But when I was investigating the Tower of Babel case, I never heard anyone mention it.

"Since Your Majesty has decided to deal with them, these things can naturally be put on the table." Liang Fuguo said leisurely, "The establishment of the Xishan Society should have been in the Sword Academy at the earliest."

"Academy?"

"There is a Lingxi Mountain near the Jiandao Academy. Teachers and students often meet by the stream to fish and chat," Liang Fuguo said.

"The prototype of the Xishan Society was formed at that time. Perhaps it was just two students chatting casually. They felt that the officials in the court had the responsibility to restrain the emperor, and the emperor's power should not be too great. However, the emperor's power is centralized, while the power of the ministers is decentralized, so they are naturally at a disadvantage in the struggle. They boldly thought that if there was an organization that could unite the power of the ministers, perhaps they could build a country run by the ministers in the court. After the emperor's power was weakened, he could also exist as a symbol and arbitrator."

Liang Yue naturally did not find this idea shocking, but in the Yin Dynasty more than two hundred years ago, it must have been a very bold idea.

"Later, when these students entered the imperial court, they began to practice their original ideas and formed a secret party, the Xishan Society." Liang Fuguo continued, "After a hundred years of development, they have gained great power in the imperial court. The ministers govern together, and the left and right prime ministers are in charge and hold the power. Although the emperor's power is weakened, it is beneficial to the long-term stability of the world and has no harm."

"This secret development of the court order has continued for two hundred years. At that time, the existence of the Xishan Society was no longer a secret. It was just that when the current emperor ascended the throne, the Northwest War occurred."

The development of the situation is not difficult to guess. In peacetime, power needs to be dispersed, but in wartime, power needs to be concentrated. Mu Beidi naturally became the one who concentrated all the power in the world. Moreover, he personally led the army to pacify Jiuyang, which also won him great reputation.

When the world is at peace, it will not be so easy to take back the power from him.

"His Majesty must have known about the existence of the Khe San Society. He directly asked Prime Minister Shen, the leader of the Khe San Society at the time and who also made great contributions in the Northwest War, to retire and return home, recruited new people, and secretly dispersed their power. Originally, it was just a gentle means until something happened, which made His Majesty kill them for the first time."

Liang Fuguo was speaking with great interest and Liang Yue was listening with great interest.

Just as he was about to continue, Liang Fuguo suddenly asked again: "Given your personality, after hearing this, do you think they are all good people?"

"It's always like this, but we can't just look at what they say, we have to look at what they do." Liang Yue said: "At least in the few times I have come into contact with them, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are extremely vicious."

"That's right." Liang Fuguo nodded with a smile, "In fact, when I first entered the court, they sent people to contact me, and this set of rhetoric was also told to me by these people at that time."

"But I soon discovered that they were not as righteous as they said." Liang Fuguo's eyes showed a trace of disdain. "Maybe the original purpose of the predecessors was the same as they said, but when the Xishan Society became powerful, the people in this organization also began to form cliques for personal gain and gang up on dissidents. They ignored the country and the people in order to seize power, and they also used all means to make money."

"I knew then how I could govern the country with this bunch of insects."
