How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 591

[591. Everyone in Chapter 591 is a talent.]

Tianlao is a good place to gain reputation.

Lu Gan planned to stay here for a few nights to build up his reputation before moving into the palace.

This step is essential.

“Go back.”

Lu Qian turned around and smiled at Fang Youxue and others who poked out the bead curtain of the carriage.

“Husband, please be careful.”

Fang Youxue was still a little worried, so she warned her softly before reluctantly leaving.

After the others left, Lu Gan straightened his clothes, carried the food box, and walked towards the gate of the prison.

“Greetings to King Youzhou.”

The soldiers guarding the Tianlao all looked stern and saluted with their hands raised.

“Excuse me, everyone.”

Lu Gan said with a smile as if nothing had happened, “I just rebelled a few days ago. Today I have come here to surrender and plead guilty. I also ask you to arrest me and put me in the heavenly prison.”

“This…”

When the gatekeepers heard this, they all responded. His eyes widened and he was stunned on the spot.

“I’m humble enough to inform Lord Tantai!”

Someone reacted immediately.

“No need, I’m here.”

The voice came, and an old man in green suddenly appeared in front of Lu Qian.

This man’s face was as black as carbon and his eyes were as bright as lightning. He was the deputy head of the Zhenfu Department, Tantai Palace.

“Long time no see, King Youzhou.”

Tantai Palace glanced at Lu Qian, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he slightly bowed his hands: “I didn’t expect King Youzhou to actually break through to a half-step Martial Saint! It’s really eye-opening for me. “Yes!”

Lu Gan nodded and returned the greeting: “Senior Tantai, I wonder if there is any room in this prison for a rebellious traitor like me?”

“…Yes! King Youzhou, please come in!

” Slightly surprised, he made a gesture of invitation, turned around and waved.

boom.

The Tianlao door shines with light, and mysterious runes float up one by one. Finally, the light shines and condenses into a black door, like a big mouth that swallows people.

Lu Gan was not afraid. He stepped out and followed Tantai Palace into the Tianlao.

Soon, the two of them entered the heavenly prison. In a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a bamboo forest in less than a few breaths.

“Prince Lu, do you think this is okay?”

Tantai Palace pointed to the quiet courtyard in the bamboo forest.

“This place is great. Thank you Senior Tantai for your kindness! However, I committed the major crime of confiscating my home and exterminating my family. I am in the sky prison and living in such a good place. I am afraid that it will cause criticism. I’d better live in the prison. There is no need to do anything. If you have a private room, just choose a room for three or two people. It has a thatched bed, a book to read, and it is tidy and clean without mice. As for the food, it doesn’t have to be too complicated. There are five meals a day, eight dishes and one soup. By the way, it’s best to have some barbecue for dinner. .”

Lu Qian smiled slightly and casually mentioned a few small conditions.

If it had been anyone else, Tantai Palace would have unleashed a set of Xinghe Po Gang Fist, but Lu Gan was His Majesty’s close disciple, and he had done a great job in rescuing him. If he rebelled, there would be no problem in choosing a cell or something.

“Prince Lu, please come here.”

Tantai Palace did not refuse and turned around to lead Lu Qian back.

“Okay.”

Lu Gan flashed, and in a few blinks, he followed Tantai Palace into the depths of the prison.

In the dark prison, the firelight flickered.

There are strong iron prisons on the left and right sides. In front of each iron prison, there are two Feitian Realm guards on guard. The guards are very tight.

Taking a closer look, I found that there were many people imprisoned in the prison.

Lu Gan glanced over and asked curiously: “Has there been any major case in Yujing recently? Why are there so many officials imprisoned?”

Tantai Palace looked slightly cold and explained: “These people are not officials, but The martial arts masters who recently came from the Zhengyi Alliance.

“How dare they be so arrogant under the Emperor’s feet?”

Lu Qian was slightly stunned.

“Humph, most of the people who came over there have some money and are not low in strength. When they came to Daqian, they naturally felt superior to others and acted wantonly, which naturally caused a lot of troubles. No matter how big or small the crime was, the Zhenfu Division He was taken to the Heavenly Prison and imprisoned. The Heavenly Prison was almost full of them. “

Speaking of this, Tantai Palace showed a bit of anger.

At this time, Lu Gan probably understood.

The warriors of the Zhengyi Alliance, the warriors who crush Daqian in all aspects, here are all geniuses. When compared with each other, a sense of superiority arises in their hearts.

As soon as a feeling of superiority sets in, contempt follows.

The warriors of Daqian were full of blood, and after being ridiculed for a few words, they immediately started fighting, so the warriors of the Zhengyi Alliance were captured.

“So, the situation in Beijing is not very optimistic during His Majesty’s absence?”

Lu Gan asked with a frown.

“It’s true!”

Tantai Palace said angrily: “The town’s Fusi, city patrol officers, and disciples from the three major sects are still not enough. During the time when His Majesty was away, many people who committed murders escaped. If they escape from Beijing, it may be difficult to catch them again.”

Those guys have probably escaped back to the Zhengyi Alliance.

Lu Gan’s eyes turned slightly cold: “Did the Zhengyi Alliance send anyone to help?”

“No.” Tantai Palace shook his head: “It seems that His Majesty rejected the Zhengyi Alliance and did not let the Zhengyi Alliance People are officially stationed in Daqian.

“Is it easy to ask the gods to send them away? Or is it because the alliance is not well-intentioned?”

A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Qian’s eyes.

Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them came outside a spacious cell. Tantai Palace paused and turned around and said, “Prince Lu, what do you think of this cell?”

Lu Qian turned around and found that the cell was very strange. It’s clean and bright, with rouge lamps on the wall, smoke-free and odorless.

In addition to the table, chairs and wooden bed, there are actually two bookshelves.

The three prisoners in custody were concentrating on playing Go. The chess pieces were black, white, and blue, each holding a different color, and they were all thinking hard.

The arrival of Lu and Gan did not make them raise their heads.

“The environment is good. But, this person…” Lu Gan nodded, expressing satisfaction.

“Don’t worry, Prince Lu, they are not vicious criminals, they are just three officials who committed minor crimes but don’t want to get out of prison.”

Tantai Palace explained.

“Really?”

Lu Qian couldn’t help but be a little curious after hearing this, and secretly opened the scan.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.

A burst of confusion rang in my mind:

“Ding, found a talent of alchemy type, Zhou Qingshu, Dharma Realm.”

” Found a talent of internal affairs, Guo De, cultivation level, flying sky level.”

” Found a talent of internal affairs, Li Shennong, cultivation level, Gang Qi “

I found the internal affairs talent Wang Lu, whose cultivation is at the peak of Feitian Realm”

…

As expected, everyone inside is a talent!

You made the right trip to Tianlao this time!

Lu Qian was secretly surprised and said with a smile: “Then please trouble Senior Tantai to take me into custody temporarily and wait for His Majesty to deal with you.”

“Okay, come on, open the door.”

Tantai Palace nodded and gave an order.

Immediately, the guard guarding outside the cell took out the key and unlocked the cell door.

Lu Gan walked in without fear or hesitation.

“Prince Lu, please stay here for a while. I will enter the palace now and ask to see Your Majesty to report this matter.” Tantai Palace arched his hands and motioned to the left and right guards to close the cell door.

“Senior Tantai, please excuse me.”

Lu Qian put down the food box in his hand and gave it away with a slight hand.

Afterwards, Tantai Palace left directly without letting anyone put any shackles on Lu Gan, let alone banning his Gang Qi.

When they left, the three prisoners were still playing chess without even raising their heads.

Lu Gan didn’t bother them, he just sat at the table casually, opened the food box, took out the various exquisite pastries inside, and took out a jar of fine wine from the Qiankun bag.

In this way, he leisurely enjoyed the food and wine, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.

About a quarter of an hour later, the three prisoners finally finished playing chess.

“Brother Wang is still better at chess! I’m willing to be the loser!” One of the middle-aged square-faced men shook his head and sighed while collecting the chess pieces.

“Accepted.”

Another slightly thin middle-aged scribe cupped his hands, turned his eyes, and glanced at the jar of wine on the table: “Brother, would you mind if Wang came over for a drink?”

This person’s words and deeds He has a gentle and elegant manner and a very bookish temperament.

Lu Qian had a good impression of him and said with a smile: “I don’t mind. If you guys like it, you might as well come over and have a drink.”

After hearing what he said, the old man with a half-inch white beard immediately came over, cupped his hands and said: ” You’re welcome.”

“Thank you, sir.”

The square-faced man also came over.

At this time, Lu Gan discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with his legs and it was very difficult to move.

The three of them came over, gathered around a table with Lu Qian, each took a bowl from the bamboo basket on the table, and started pouring wine.

“Please!”

The three of them poured the wine, holding the bowls in both hands, and saluted Lu Qian.

“Please.”

Seeing this, Lu Qian raised his glass in return, and couldn’t help but be more curious. How come these three people looked so upright, why were they imprisoned in the sky prison?

The three of them drank in different ways.

The old man with the white beard was gurgling like a cow drinking, and he was very anxious. The middle-aged scholar was slow and steady, and the square-faced man took a sip and paused.

“Good wine!”

The white-bearded old man finished drinking, put down the bowl, and couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Nine years! I have been in this prison for nine years, and I finally drank this fine wine!” “

As long as you like it, Mr. ”

Lu Qian put down the jade cup in his hand and asked directly: “I’m very curious. The three of them don’t look like heinous people. How could they be locked up in the sky prison? It seems like they have been locked up for a long time?”

“Oh.”

The white-bearded old man sighed. : “I was a fourth-rank judge at Dali Temple in the capital, and I was an expert in deciding cases. However, because of my prejudice, I wrongly judged a case, wronged a good person, and caused the death of others. I was willing to be punished, so I was imprisoned in the sky prison.”

I see.

Lu Gan nodded suddenly and looked at the square-faced man on the left.

The square-faced man looked guilty and smiled bitterly: “I was originally the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the master of the Shenhuo Hall. I specialized in the study of guns, gunpowder, and alchemy. During an experiment, I was careless and the gunpowder exploded on the spot. I did not die. , I only lost two legs, but all five of my apprentices died. Although I developed the gunpowder formula for the divine artillery after the explosion, I still had no face to see the families of the five apprentices, so I hid. “

Tianlao.”

“Sorry.”

Lu Qiangong cupped his hands and could only say these two words.

Then, he looked at the middle-aged scribe.

The middle-aged scribe sighed: “It’s an injustice to say this. That year I just became the head of the Zhenfu Division, and I was a neighbor of an imperial envoy named Hu, who had a similar temperament to me. I often went to his house to drink, and later he He was entrusted with important tasks and often went out for inspections. One day, I happened to come back and ran into him, so I said, “Lao Hu, why haven’t you been on inspection recently? I heard that my sister-in-law made dumplings today…” Before I could finish, His

eyes

instantly turned red and he hit me like crazy. I tried to stop him, but within three rounds, he was so angry that he fell to the ground and died on the spot.

He asked, “What’s your surname?”

“I’ll spare you the surname Wang.”

The middle-aged scribe cupped his hands.

“…” Lu Qian suddenly realized.

It turned out to be Lao Wang next door, so the beating was not unjust.

Feeling Lu Qian’s strange gaze, the middle-aged scribe quickly explained: “Later, I learned that the imperial envoy’s wife had an affair with a red apricot and was pregnant with a child. After the imperial envoy found out, she falsely accused me of being an adulterer. ! At that time, the civil and military forces in the court were shocked, and they wanted to execute me, but Lord Tantai saved me and finally found out the truth. But I was also imprisoned for wrongful killing, and I practiced quietly. “

So that’s it!

Lu Qian suddenly understood and nodded secretly.

These three people are not very evil people. No wonder Tantai Palace put them together and locked them in a cell.

“By the way, brother, what did you do to end up being locked up with us?”

The middle-aged scribe raised his hand and asked slightly curiously.

“Oh, it’s not a big deal.”

Lu Gan smiled and said: “It’s just a rebellion and self-proclaimed emperor.”

Poof! puff!

The white-bearded old man with the square face spurted the wine out of his mouth on the spot, spraying the drink on the other person’s face, but they didn’t bother to wipe it away. Their eyes were wide and round, looking at Lu Qian in disbelief.

“Rebellion?”

“Self-proclaimed emperor?”

The middle-aged scribe was also shocked: “Brother, your whole family was beheaded by His Majesty? So you rebelled?”

“That’s not the case.”

Lu Gan shook his head and sighed: “His Majesty has divine martial arts and is wise and benevolent. He treats me just like a father treats his son. He is too good to say anything. There is just one problem.”

“What problem?”

the three asked in unison.

Lu Gan sighed helplessly: “Your Majesty likes to default on his salary! When I was the chief arrester of Qingyang County, my salary was not paid for a month! I had no choice but to rise up, prepare to become the emperor myself, and then pay for myself Get your own salary.”

The middle-aged scribe: “…”

The square-faced man: “…”

The old man with white beard: “…”

“If you become the emperor, how are you going to pay yourself?”

At this time, a question came up. A powerful voice came.

“Of course I will give myself a salary of three hundred years first! Then I will advance a salary of five hundred years to myself and choose three to five thousand concubines… Hey, why is this voice so familiar.”

Lu Gan replied casually, suddenly realizing What, turned his head sharply.

At the end of the cell passage, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with the Chinese character “国” on his face, and a majestic face walking towards him.

This person is none other than Zhao Xuanji!

Oh haha.

Thanks to ‘Amon’s body’ for the reward^_^
