An Zheng looked at Chen Zaiyan, whose expression was a little strange, and had a nagging feeling that there was something wrong with this Minister. But because he did not know this person, An Zheng could not tell what was wrong with him.

"You ? "I'll let you down for another two days."

Chen Zaiyan personally poured a cup of wine for An Zheng, then smiled. But behind this smile, there was something that made An Zheng's hair stand on end. An Zheng was sure that it was not a threat and that Chen Zaiyan did not want to kill him. And that horror was something inexplicable.

Chen Zaiyan leaned back and let out a long breath, revealing his exhaustion. "I need a young man like you, the Ministry of War needs a young man like you, the Great Yan needs a young man like you. To you, this is a sort of experiential learning. After this event, you will be more mature in the future. Although your suggestions to the Master Shang Shu were good and were able to smoothly resolve the crisis, there is no doubt that you were too rash in your actions. "

An Zheng drank his wine and did not speak.

Chen Zaiyan said, "Tomorrow, the citizens' attention will be attracted to the Open Martial Academy. The commoners were all curious about the Martial Arts Academy and wanted to see what it looked like.

An Zheng said: "Minister, did you think of this idea?"

Chen Zaiyan nodded his head, "It's actually very easy to calm the anger of a commoner. The majority of the people are just wandering around. Have you ever seen a sheep before? There was a ditch in front, and the Sheep jumped over. The sheep behind didn't actually know that there was a ditch behind, but it would jump right after. As a result, some sheep jump too early and fall into the ditch. They didn't jump because they saw the ditch, but because the sheep jumped. What is this? This is blind obedience. "

"According to your method, calming the anger of the people will be slightly slower. I invited the most powerful people among the commoners to the Martial Arts Academy. I told them that the Martial Arts Academy was fair and respectful. The commoners are actually... Allow me to use the word humble. Why would those lambs dare to cause trouble? It was because there were so many people. They did make use of the advantage in numbers, but once I invited them to the martial academy and sat down face to face with me to discuss matters, they would recover to their lowly state. In other words, they were flattered when I saw them. "

Chen Zaiyan continued: "They will quickly become my people, and then, they will return to the common people. Take these people into the Martial Arts Academy ? After that, the conflict over this matter was moved. Some people followed the head sheep to the Martial Arts Academy to visit, and the conflict was transferred to curiosity. To them, this was a very special game. In just two or three days, all of their attention will have changed. "

An Zheng suddenly wanted to applaud, but due to his respect for Chen Zaiyan, he did not do so.

Chen Zaiyan was indeed an expert at reading people's minds. He was more cunning than Hao Pingan. Hao Pingan was too righteous when doing things, and because he was not from the Humble Class, he did not understand the emotions of the Humble Class. Chen Zaiyan was different. The reason he could say that commoners were lowly was because he himself had already experienced that kind of lowly state for a very long time.

Desire to be recognized, desire to have status.

"Rest well, I still need to go to Master Shang Shu's house."

Chen Zaiyan turned around and looked at the sky outside: "It's already night time. Don't worry, in at most two days, I will let you return to the Martial Arts Academy."

An Zheng shook his head. "I don't have any desire for the Martial Arts Academy, I want to return home even more."

Chen Zaiyan laughed: "You have a lot of points in your personality, this is good. Angle is something that gradually decreases with age and experience. "

When he walked to the door, there was a person that hastily ran over. Chen Xi saw that person was Old Sun.

It was clear that the relationship between the Old Sun and Chen Zaiyan was not like the relationship that should have existed. When Old Sun saw Chen Zaiyan, he would naturally lean over and whisper a few sentences into Chen Zaiyan's ear.

After Old Sun said a few words to him, Chen Zaiyan quickly left. Before leaving, he turned around to take a look at An Zheng, his expression a little complicated. Not knowing why, An Zheng felt that the thing in Chen Zaiyan's eyes made his hair stand on end.

He heard the Old Sun ask Chen Zaiyan softly, "Should we tell him?"

Chen Zaiyan hurriedly nodded his head, "Speak, there's nothing to hide from me."

With a creaking sound, the door was opened by Old Sun. Old Sun walked in front of An Zheng and after a moment of silence, he said, "Lord An ? Master Shang Shu passed away. "

An Zheng stood up abruptly, and suddenly understood why he had such a creepy feeling. When he was in the Law Department, he had seen too many dangers hidden within human nature. As long as he looked at the eyes of others, he would be able to tell whether this person had done anything evil. That was not the Fiery Eyes of Truth, that was An Zheng's unique and incomparable experience.

The Old Sun continued to speak on his own, saying that Hao Pingan committed suicide out of guilt, and in An Zheng's mind, there was only the look in Chen Zaiyan's eyes before he left.

The deaths of Chen Zaiyan and Hao Pingan were bound to be linked!

In an instant, An Zheng's mind was filled with that serious yet kind expression of his. It was a hard old man, but he was also a lovely old man. If the Yan Kingdom had a few more officials like Hao Pingan, then the Yan Kingdom would be much stronger than it was right now.

Chen Zaiyan is the empress dowager's man?

This was the second question An Zheng thought of.

Because he could not help but think of the death of the old prime minister Zhuge Yan a while ago, as well as the people who were chasing and killing Li Yannian. Could it be that Hao Pingan also knew about the matter of King Da Xi Yi, Chen Zhongqi?

Yes ? Hao Pingan was a Minister of War, and although Chen Zhongqi was here to mediate the war, he must have come into contact with Hao Pingan. And after Chen Zhongqi went missing, the experts of the Ministry of War and the Martial Academy did not go out to search for him. This was enough to prove that Hao Pingan knew about it.

At this moment, An Zheng's anger was about to ignite.

It had already been more than four years since he was attacked, but it was still shaking the Yan Kingdom like an earthquake. There were three people in a row, two of whom were court officials.

An Zheng clenched his fist tightly. Then, he saw Old Sun's fingers slightly twitch, as if he was trying to hook a crossbow.

Old Sun's eyes continued to stare into An Zheng's eyes. They were similarly a pair of eyes that could see through one's heart, because Old Sun had already been imprisoned for nearly his entire life.

"My condolences."

Seeing that An Zheng did not have any excessive reactions, Old Sun comforted her and then stood up.

"Mourning?"

After Old Sun left, An Zheng repeated to himself ? As a member of the Ministry of War, even if his position was lower than that of a member of the Ministry of War, he would still be a member of the Ministry of War. Old Sun was informed.

"Where's Lu Kuan?"

An Zheng suddenly shouted towards the outside.

Old Sun's footsteps paused for a moment, then he turned his head and gave a silly smile: "That silly kid is cultivating."

An Zheng acknowledged: "I had originally wanted him to drink with me."

Old Sun said: "After he finishes his training, I will have him come to Lord An."

After saying that, the Old Sun quickly left.

An Zheng looked at the dishes on the table and laughed coldly. The Master Shang Shu was dead, and Lu Kuan still had time to cultivate? Although the difference between a Minister of War and a jailer was huge, the whole of Ministry of War was still a mess. How could Lu Kuan have the mood to train?

Lu Kuan was obviously not cultivating.

Lu Kuan was killing people.

hurriedly rushed home, changed into a new set of clothes and headed towards the Master Shang Shu's residence. He ignored his wife's question and walked into the room with an extremely unsightly expression, closing the door behind him.

After he entered, he sat in a chair and stared blankly for a while before getting up to change his clothes. When he turned around, he saw a very black man with a very honest face standing not far away.

"You ? "Who are you!"

Li Zhengli asked, and was about to call for people.

Lu Kuan stepped onto it, took out a steel wire from his sleeve and wrapped it around Li Zhengli's neck, then tightened it. Li Zhengli was so angry that he could barely breathe, and his face quickly turned purple.

"Write a few words, and I'll forgive you."

Lu Kuan's ice-cold voice sounded in Li Zhengli's ears, just like a god of death sneering at Li Zhengli.

Li Zhengli had almost lost his consciousness, the desire to live made him walk to the side of the table and pick up the brush.

"Write..." Cough cough, what are you writing? "

"It's enough to write six words. I will follow him until he dies."

"I won't!"

Li Zhengli suddenly reacted and struggled again. Lu Kuan said impatiently: "Since you are not willing, then I will write it down for you."

His hand suddenly tightened, and after a moment, the steel wire seemed to have latched onto Li Zhengli's neck. Not long after, Li Zhengli's aura stopped. Lu Kuan found a sheet in the house and tore it open, making a rope to wrap it around the beam. Then, he hung Li Zhengli's body on the bed. He sat in front of the desk and opened the book that Li Zhengli had written down before, using the brush to imitate a few words, and then wrote down the words "Lifeless Follower" on white paper. After cleaning up the place, Lu Kuan left Li Zhengli's house like a ghost.

Less than an hour later, in the house of another doctor in Ministry of War, Lu Kuan had killed him using the same method.

After that, Lu Kuan rushed to the Master Shang Shu Palace, it was already packed full of people, almost all of the officials in the imperial court who heard the news had come. The King Yan Mu Changyan was in the house accompanying Hao Pingan's wife, speaking to her. It was said that the empress dowager was on her way over as well.

When Chen Zaiyan saw Lu Kuan appearing within the crowd, he unhurriedly moved to that place. Lu Kuan hid in the shadows and hid behind Chen Zaiyan. He said in a low voice, "The few people that the empress dowager had planted into the Ministry of War have all been killed. The people from the martial academy will be dealt with later."

Chen Zaiyan said: "There's no rush, tomorrow morning we will move the people to Ministry of Justice's prison. I already told His Majesty, if the Master Shang Shu Immortal is going, I will not have time to meddle in other things, so I decided to hand the case over to Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice is controlled by the empress dowager. Go to the Ministry of Justice's prison and kill those people from the martial academy.

Lu Kuan nodded his head: "This subordinate understands, and will be going back first."

Chen Zaiyan acknowledged him, and said after hesitating for a moment: "If ? If anything happens to An Zheng, get rid of him. "

Lu Kuan was obviously startled for a moment: "But, but didn't Master say that you want to use An Zheng again?"

Chen Zaiyan said: "His eyes... It's as if he can see through everything. If he knows the truth, he might do me a disservice. "

Lu Kuan said: "Then this subordinate will kill him when I return."

Chen Zaiyan shook his head: "No, just let your master stare at An Zheng. If he doesn't have any reactions, then this person still needs to be used. I think a lot of him. I think a lot of him. "

A hint of jealousy flashed past Lu Kuan's eyes, and then, he retreated, disappearing into the darkness.

Ministry of War Prison.

It was midnight when Lu Kuan returned.

He pushed open the door and walked in. An Zheng lied on the bed as if he was asleep.

"Lord An?"

Lu Kuan called out softly as he rolled over in a daze: "Who is it?"

Lu Kuan walked over with his hands behind his back, and the steel wire was slowly pulled out from his sleeves. I heard that Lord An was looking for me? "
