After the deterrence value broke through 90,000, it was almost at a standstill.
After all, even if the real body triggered the deterrence, it was still a small area.
In the whole of Bianliang, there were not many people with hereditary titles.
As for the people from Qin Lou Chu Guan who were triggered by Zhou Shao, it was even harder to compare with the noble families.
Due to the time limit and the fact that Kaifeng Prefecture could not often receive cases with great influence, the deterrence value that Bao Zheng could bring to Zhao Zhen could only occasionally increase his deterrence value.
As for the Eight Virtuous Kings, they were very rational and had a reputation for being virtuous. Since they returned, they basically did not bring any increase in deterrence value.
Gu Tingye was still in a dormant state.
Leng Gudu had also been given a secret edict by Zhao Zhen to investigate in secret, so it was impossible for his deterrence value to increase.
Although Chen Lin was a personal attendant and held an important position in the palace, she was a good person. She was in the same state.
However, Zhao Zhen was not in a hurry.
Sitting in the palace.
Apart from reading memorials, he was cultivating.
Three days passed in a flash.
In the royal study, figures flickered and turned into human figures.
Zhao Zhen was cultivating the Rippling Phantom Divine Technique.
The figures that formed were hard to distinguish.
His speed was also abnormally fast, like a ghost or a ghost.
Many figures dragged out long tails.
It almost filled up the huge royal study.
Suddenly, figures returned to the dragon chair behind the desk at lightning speed.
The person who appeared was Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Long live Lord Bao and Guard Zhan!”
Immediately, Chen Lin's report came from outside the door.
"Announce!"
A moment later, the tightly shut door of the royal study was pushed open.
Chen Lin led Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao in.
To Zhao Zhen's surprise, Zhan Zhao's face was pale, with very little blood.
He had suffered serious internal injuries.
After the greeting, Zhan Zhao remained kneeling on the ground and did not get up.
"Please punish me!" Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice.
"What crime does Guard Zhan have?" Zhao Zhen frowned.”
"Long live, when I was investigating the Joyful Sect, I was discovered by them and was attacked. When I fled, I lost the imperial gold medal!”
The gold medal was given by Emperor Renzong.
The imperial power granted special permission to enter the palace to meet the emperor at any time.
In fact, it could also represent the emperor.
Losing the gold medal bestowed by the emperor was indeed a great crime.
"Do you know where you lost it?"
"It's in the Joyful Sect!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure! Because…I was heavily injured because I found out that the gold medal bestowed by the emperor had fallen and was preparing to take it back. However…there were many experts in the Joyful Sect, and there were even experts guarding it!”
Zhao Zhen smiled when he heard this.
"You're not guilty, but you still have merit! Rise!"
Innocent, meritorious?
Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and Chen Lin were puzzled.
"Long live, may I know…what contribution did I make?”
"The murder case in the palace is difficult to investigate, and it's naturally difficult to rectify the law. However, we can be sure that it was done by the Joyful Sect.
Even if they could find the real culprit, they would probably only be able to find an individual.
The gold medal bestowed by the emperor was personally bestowed by me and was specially granted by my imperial power. It can represent me!
Since they lost to the Joyful Sect, they still didn't return it to you. Isn't this a credit?”
Zhan Zhao, who still didn't dare to get up, was still a little confused.
Bao Zheng, on the other hand, was keenly aware of the emperor's will. He said excitedly,"Long live the sage. This time…they would be able to exterminate the Joyful Sect!”
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded. He looked at Zhan Zhao and said,""Still not getting up?"
Zhan Zhao understood and stood up after thanking him.
"Your Majesty, the Joyful Sect is a force in the martial world that even Guard Zhan is no match for. Since they dare to detain the imperial medal and offend the heavens, I'm afraid we'll have to use the Imperial Army to destroy them.”
After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Zhan Zhao also hurriedly said,"The Joyful Sect is extremely evil and a very special faction. Even if the army attacks, it will probably be difficult to completely destroy them.”
These words terrified Bao Zheng.
Although he was in charge of the punishment and was decisive in killing, he was full of kindness.
If they killed a large number of officers and soldiers, they would not be able to bear it.
Moreover, the Imperial Army was related to the foundation of the country!
"Where is the Joyful Sect?" Zhao Zhen asked Zhan Zhao.
"Long live the report. The Joy Sect is in a deep valley twenty miles outside the western gate of Bianliang.”
"Maybe you can draw a rough map of the location and its surroundings?”
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhen got Chen Lin to spread out the paper on the imperial table and help grind the ink so that Zhan Zhao could draw closer.
Not long after, a simple blueprint was drawn by Zhan Zhao.
Let Bao Zheng come to the front and back, and then let Zhan Zhao explain.
The Joyful Sect was located in a special valley.
It was four to five miles wide and surrounded by cliffs that were hundreds of meters tall. There was only one passage that led inside.
Because the selection of the Joyful Sect's disciples was relatively strict and only the best were selected, the number of disciples was not many, only close to a hundred.
However, they were all very powerful, and their method of preaching was only to be led by their believers. They absorbed believers and treated them as followers.
However, the disciples were basically all experts, and there was no lack of experts guarding the sect.
The entire Joyful Sect had some terrifying methods.
Zhao Zhen took the opportunity to ask around. According to Zhan Zhao, there were many Transcendents.
As for the specific level, he had no way of figuring it out.
"Looks like I can try. With my current cultivation, I should be able to protect myself even if I can't defeat a peak Transcendent!
However, it would take some time for it to develop. He would also take the opportunity to reform the government and let the operation of the imperial court enter the track of development.
"However, the Joyful Sect also needs to be intimidated. I have to trap them within. I have to maintain my imperial prestige and prevent them from continuing to cause trouble. I also have to ensure that when I take action, there are few fish that escape the net!”
Even so, Zhao Zhen already knew.
Moreover, he had already made his decision!
