After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 339: The Way of Heaven Is Not What She Thought

Yuan Qing relied on this skill to dodge the man's sword moves time and time again.

She pointed and said, "There really is something in the sky."

The man sneered, "Want to deceive me again?"

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud thunder in the sky and a bolt of lightning struck the man's feet.

The man no longer cared about chasing the murderer. He let out a cry, threw away his sword and ran away desperately.

Yuan Qing raised his head with sweat dripping down his face, and saw several thunders rolling in the clouds, and it seemed that another thunder was about to fall.

She took off the mask and looked at it, and her legs went weak instantly.

Oh my god, I was in such a hurry just now that I actually took out the real thing!

Without having time to think, she ran in the direction the man had just fled.

But the thunder and lightning remained silent, just rolling continuously in the clouds.

Yuan Qing stopped and looked at the sky thoughtfully.

What is it waiting for?

Knowing that the thunder would not cause any harm to him, Yuan Qing looked towards the small courtyard and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Seeing the escaped woman come back, the other person guarding the yard was stunned for a moment.

Hey, what are you doing here again? Are you lost?

When Yuan Qing saw him rushing towards him with a sword in hand, he neither dodged nor avoided, but just tilted his neck to look up at the sky, like a prey caught in a trap and waiting to die.

The man felt more and more strange.

Yuan Qing stared at the thunder and lightning that were surging again, and his heart skipped a beat.

coming!

The moment the man rushed over with sword in hand, a bolt of lightning struck down.

He paused and looked up at the sky in disbelief.

It is going to rain?

That just now... was it just a coincidence?

But after watching for a long time, there was no sign of rain.

The man raised his sword and prepared to charge again.

Yuan Qing still didn't move.

She looked up at the clouds.

The third thunder was obviously ready, but she didn't know where it would strike in the end.

This was just a sudden test.

Before the man could move, he was suddenly blocked by the third lightning.

The lightning did not strike him, but only fell beside him as a scare.

The man immediately dropped the sword in his hand.

At this moment, he had no idea that the lightning was directed at him, and he thought he would be safe if he dropped the sword.

When he came over again with his bare hands, the fourth strike landed on top of his head without warning, splitting the branch so hard that it was about to break.

The leaves covered him all over.

The man was so frightened that he ran away and even forgot to guard the door.

I really admire his dullness.

Yuan Qing picked up the sword on the ground, touched the mask on his face, and finally looked up.

The thunder and lightning are already showing signs of receding.

Sure enough, this lightning was not caused by the use of the mask.

Putting aside this possibility, what remains is one's own identity.

Roudun'er said that he was the protagonist of this dimension.

Normally, the Heavenly Dao would not care about these things, but when the protagonist is in danger and has no power to fight back, the Heavenly Dao will take action on his behalf.

Although its methods are brutal, it also knows the importance of caution and will not harm innocent people at will.

Otherwise, the two men would have absolutely no chance to escape. With Tiandao's power, they would have been hit on the spot.

Yuan Qing raised his fist to the sky and said, "Thank you for helping me solve my doubts. I apologize for my disrespect in the past."

The way of heaven seemed to be arrogant. There were a few muffled thunder sounds, and then the clouds and fog dissipated, and everything returned to peace.

Yuan Qing was surprised.

It seems that the way of heaven is not what she imagined.

He has a personality, ideas, and can communicate with others. I wonder who he is?

By the time the people in the Chen Mansion reacted, Yuan Qing had already returned to his seat.

She looked to the other side and saw that there was no one behind Senior Hefeng, so she knew that Ayi must still be inside.

Although the thunders just now were quite loud, they disappeared after a few bangs, and no one took it seriously.

Instead, Lu Zhao lowered his head and said, "Did you make that noise just now?"

Yuan Qing blinked, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "No, I just went to take a look at the back, and saw someone guarding there, so I came back."

Lu Zhao looked at her deeply, but said nothing.

Halfway through the wedding banquet, Chen Xingwei suddenly came out and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, everyone. I have some trivial matters at home today, so I can't entertain you. Please understand. I will come to your house to apologize one by one in the future."

Chen Xingwei had a gloomy face. He said something to the servant beside him and left, leaving the butler to see him off.

This was the first time that a guest was proactively kicked out.

Yuan Qing followed everyone away, but he was feeling suspicious.

This is not like the usual Chen Xingwei.

Not to mention that he usually loved to hold banquets to get to know the nobles in the court, and today was his son's wedding, so there was absolutely no reason for him to do so.

Could it be that something happened to Ayi?

Just as she was about to turn around to look for him, a person suddenly appeared beside her and took her away from the crowd.

Yuan Qing turned to look at him, examined him carefully, and finally returned his gaze to his face.

"I was so scared. I thought Chen Xingwei suddenly drove people away because something happened to you."

Yuan Yi panted slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but I'm worried about you."

"I've already told you I have a way to get out of this." Yuan Qing pulled him to a place with fewer people, "Come on, tell me about your situation."

When the two stopped, Yuan Yi felt the warmth in his palm and whispered, "Before Chen Xingwei drove the guests away and closed the door, he had already checked all the female guests in the mansion."

He heard his voice tremble a little.

Yuan Qing reacted, "Is it really because of me?"

The man in front of her was cold and he carefully took her into his arms.

Yuan Qing was stunned. "What's wrong with you?"

The man didn't say anything, just held her in his arms, as if he was afraid of something.

Yuan Qing didn't know what he was thinking about, so he comforted him: "Look, I'm fine. Let me talk about my--"

"In the future, try not to take risks again..." He said, "If there is anything, I will do it."

He knew that Ah Qing had many secrets, and he had no intention of exploring them, but...

"I can't always rely on you." Yuan Qing said softly, "Look, you are now in the Imperial Guards. You have your own path to follow, don't you?"

Yuan Yi felt depressed, but couldn't say anything.

He always felt like there was something between them, always hazy, living in their own worlds, unable to touch each other.

I can't figure it out.

He sighed slightly, let go of the person, and returned to their previous distance.

"In the study, Chen Xingwei and Bai Xianliang had an argument about the iron ore."

"Yeah, they're arguing..." Yuan Qing was still immersed in the previous topic and didn't react, but she quickly grasped the key information, "Are you talking about iron ore?"

"Yes, it is the iron mine in Cenzhou."

Yuan Qing searched carefully in his mind, and information about the Cenzhou Iron Mine slowly emerged like a stream of water.

Blood mine case!

A tragedy that occurred in the same year as the Salt Permit Case!

If the salt permit case was a dispute over money and interests, then the blood mine case was a debt of life for a heinous crime.

"Based on the content of their quarrel, the iron mine was originally owned by the Bai family. I don't know what happened later, but Chen Xingwei used this as an excuse to ask the Bai family for the mine."

Yuan Qing nodded, "I know about this. The Bai family is a wealthy family in Cenzhou. They controlled many mineral veins in Cenzhou during the previous dynasty, but they can't enjoy the benefits alone. So although the Bai family is in charge on the surface, there are more than a dozen families who have shared the benefits privately. There are interests involved, and most of the royal family is involved. I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to handle than the salt permit case."

Another point is that Lao Wu’s story is also involved in this “blood mine case”.

"Old Five is following you now?"

"Ah."

"Think of a way to move him away first." Yuan Qing said, "He has an impatient temper and is not as steady as Wei Lin. If this case is exposed, he will definitely not be able to sit still."

"That's easy. His Majesty is preparing to build the imperial mausoleum, so let him go there first. Although it's not far from Beijing, he will not get the news so quickly since he is in the imperial mausoleum."

Yuan Qing walked out.

She couldn't be sure whether the conflict between Chen Xingwei and Bai Xianliang was caused by uneven distribution of interests.

"Besides the quarrel, what else did you hear?"

Yuan Yi thought about it and suddenly said, "It seems that Chen Xingwei has something on Bai Xianliang."

Yuan Qing was stunned. "Hmm? Be more specific."

"Even though Bai Xianliang was right, he was still weaker than Chen Xingwei in terms of momentum. Every time the two of them argued to a critical point, Bai Xianliang would always be the first to lose."

handle?

Could this be where the contradiction lies?
