374: Chapter 353: The Crown Prince Conspires with the Heavenly Punishnt Sect?
In Jin City Fang, there’s the Jin City Restaurant.
This restaurant had been under renovation recently, and even the original sign had been taken down.
Many people knew that the restaurant had recently changed hands, and it seed that the new owner had quite a connection with the Han Family.
At the mont, Zhang San was touring inside the restaurant with Hu Xingxiang.
“Xingxiang, what do you think of this restaurant?”
“It’s very nice!
So big, and so thick.”
“Hmm…
this isn’t called ‘thick,’ it’s called ‘large area.’ Don’t misuse the words.”
“Oh.”
“I’m planning to hand over this restaurant to you to manage.
After all, I have a lot of daily matters to attend to at the Town Martial Office.
Having this restaurant is like having our own family property, and it’s always good to earn a bit more.”
Upon hearing Zhang San’s words about “our own family property” and now entrusting her with its managent, Hu Xingxiang realized he was treating her like family.
Happy!
“Only thing is, I haven’t quite decided what dishes to sell after the renovation.
Xingxiang, do you have any plans?”
Hu Xingxiang chuckled and said, “I’ve tasted your human race’s food, and it’s not nearly as delicious as our Demon Clan’s.
You humans are always ruining things and don’t preserve the original nutrients in the food.
If you let take charge of the restaurant, I’m planning to find so great chefs from Hundred Flowers Fang and Jingshan Fang—they are really talented!”
Zhang San thought if they could attract people with the Demon Clan’s delicacies, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
“I rember Baili Chengfeng saying that the Town Demon Office needed him for sothing.
It just so happens that we could use his help now.”
As they spoke, the two approached the window and had a clear view of another tall restaurant within Jin City Fang.
“Speaking of which, there are two top restaurants in Jin City Fang.
One was originally ours, and the other is that Jin City Restaurant.
They can na themselves after Jin City, which just shows their business must be better than ours.”
Hu Xingxiang cautiously asked, “Should I go over there later and secretly start a fire to burn down their restaurant?”
Zhang San frowned and said coldly, “That’s illegal, we can’t do that.
Understand?”
Hu Xingxiang nodded, glanced at the opposite restaurant, sighed, and said, “It would be nice if that restaurant burned down by itself.”
No sooner had Hu Xingxiang finished speaking than a soaring fla erupted from within Jin City Restaurant, like a Red Dragon flying to the heavens.
In an instant, many places in the restaurant caught fire.
Zhang San’s eyes widened as he looked at the distant restaurant, then at the Little Fox beside him.
“Xingxiang, try saying sothing bad about the restaurant opposite again?”
Hu Xingxiang was taken aback and asked, “Is saying bad things not illegal?”
Zhang San nodded.
Hu Xingxiang snickered and said to the opposite Jin City Restaurant, “Then allow a few people in that restaurant to die, then…
um…
collapse?”
Whoosh—
In the distant Jin City Restaurant, a blade of fire forty zhang long swept across the sky.
Then, along with nurous creaking and crashing sounds, the entire restaurant began to collapse amidst the flas and dust.
“Let’s go, let’s go.
We should hurry back ho.”
Zhang San grabbed Hu Xingxiang and started to run.
Although he did not know whether it was just a coincidence or if Hu Xingxiang really had the power to make things happen with her words, if soone used so sort of divination of causality to trace it back to them, it would be troubleso.
It seed safer to just run far away for now.
After all, the fire was far enough away; it wouldn’t reach their ho.
…
Within the Town Martial Office’s prison, a total of sixty-two Martial Artists from the Heavenly Punishnt Sect were captured alive and brought back.
The rest either beca corpses or turned to ashes.
Vermilion Bird seed particularly interested in two of those brought back and started to interrogate them separately as soon as she returned.
“You keep saying you’re not a person of the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, who exactly are you?
Speak clearly!
Otherwise, if you’re not from the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, you’re useless, and if you’re useless, you’ll just be killed!”
Upon hearing Vermilion Bird’s words, Yun Shengxu initially still wanted to conceal the truth.
But on one hand, this woman had previously incapacitated Liang Zhangjian with one move and incinerated two Martial Artists from the Heavenly Punishnt Sect who tried to ambush her with a wave of her hand and a re breath in their direction.
It was terrifying!
“I…
I…
I am the Horse Washer from the Eastern Palace, Yun…
Yun…
Yun Shengxu…
I…”
Vermilion Bird turned her head and harshly said to the Martial Artist responsible for recording, “Write this down, the Crown Prince is colluding with the Heavenly Punishnt Sect.”
When he heard this, Yun Shengxu completely broke down.
“No…
no…
It’s not like that!
It’s the Crown Prince…
His Highness ordered to co and persuade the Heavenly Punishnt Sect to surrender…”
After saying this, Yun Shengxu felt a great relief as if the most important information had been finally revealed, easing his heart and sowhat improving his condition.
“Today is precisely when I ca to persuade these people from the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, because they had already agreed to betray the Heavenly Punishnt Sect and side with His Highness the Crown Prince!”
Having said this as well, Yun Shengxu let out a long breath, feeling substantially more relaxed.
“So, I’m actually one of us, and shouldn’t be bound and interrogated like this.
Besides, I’m the Horse Washer of the Eastern Palace and I hold an official position…”
Vermilion Bird paid no attention to Yun Shengxu and said to the Martial Artist taking notes, “Write this down, the Heavenly Punishnt Sect wishes to defect to the Crown Prince.”
Yun Shengxu, who had just cald down, was completely dumbfounded upon hearing these words.
“No…
no…
it’s not like that, not like that…
hey!
Don’t go…
don’t…
don’t go——”
Vermilion Bird left to see Han Yanqiu.
At that mont, other Martial Artists were interrogating Han Yanqiu.
Han Yanqiu, however, was much calr and said unhurriedly, “I am the grandson of Han Mingshi, the Head of the Han family, one of the four great families of Legalism, Han Yanqiu.”
“Today, I accompanied the Horse Washer from the Eastern Palace, Yun Shengxu, to the Jin City Restaurant to persuade the Heavenly Punishnt Sect to surrender.
Moreover, we had already successfully persuaded them when you all burst in!
That’s why…”
The interrogating Martial Artist sneered and questioned, “If you had surrendered, why resist to the death upon seeing us?
That clearly ans you haven’t surrendered!
I think, you just wanted to collude with the Heavenly Punishnt Sect and got caught by us, hence this excuse.”
Han Yanqiu angrily retorted, “No!
I was really there to persuade the Heavenly Punishnt Sect to surrender.”
Then, Vermilion Bird ca in, glanced at Han Yanqiu, and said coldly, “I just heard outside, write this down.
The Han family is colluding with the Heavenly Punishnt Sect.”
At that mont, Han Yanqiu, who had been very indifferent up until then, started to feel a bit panicked.
anwhile, the Han family also received the news.
In the Han family’s council hall, all the Elders of the family were gathered there.
Han Mingshi turned pale when he heard the news.
“What?
The Town Martial Office attacked the Jin City Restaurant to arrest the Demon Cult Followers of the Heavenly Punishnt Sect, and Han Yanqiu was there too?”
At that mont, Han Mingshi stood up in the hall and turned to face the plaque hanging above it, inscribed with “Justice Shows No Favoritism.”
“No!
There must be so misunderstanding.
How could the descendants of our Han family possibly join the Heavenly Punishnt Sect!
Everyone, there’s no need to panic!”
Bang!
The plaque inscribed with “Justice Shows No Favoritism” suddenly fell for so unknown reason, crashing in front of Han Mingshi.
Han Mingshi looked at the plaque broken in two, and sweat poured down his face.
“Go!
Find the Pharaoh!”
