Xu Mo flew in the sky and followed this person around the city.
This guy was indeed cunning.
Sometimes, he would suddenly enter a house and come out again after a while.
Sometimes, he would suddenly enter the alley and then come out not far away.
If Xu Mo had not been watching him from the sky, he would have really slipped away.
At the fifth watch, the rooster crowed.
This person came to the river and jumped onto a small boat to a small island in the middle of a large lake.
"Eh? I was wondering why he looked so familiar."
Xu Mo smiled. It turned out that after going around and around, she had actually come to his house.
This river was the one behind his courtyard.
The lake was not far from his house.
A small island in the middle of a lake
Xu Mo also had some impression of it. It seemed to be a place where famous scholars in the capital gathered for fun.
Xu Mo flew to the island and found that a few more people had sneaked into the island.
It seemed like this was a very important stronghold of the bandits.
Burrowing Technique
Xu Mo's figure flashed and disappeared into the ground.
"F * ck!"
Xu Mo cursed in her heart. This island was full of rocks.
The originally slow movement of the burrowing technique became even slower.
He pushed his Genuine Qi to the maximum, but his speed was about the same as a normal person's walking speed.
In an underground stone room.
"Brother Zhang is back too. You were attacked too?”
"Sigh, that's right. Fortunately, those Abyss Suppression Warriors are brainless boors. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back.”
"Many strongholds were attacked at the same time. It seems that those people were exposed during the day.”
"Hmph, those idiots from the Fragrance Sect are incapable of doing anything.”
"Hehe, it's precisely because they're stupid that we can use them.”
"Haha, that's true."
Xu Mo hid under a corner of the wall and listened to them quietly.
More and more people came into the stone room, and in a short while, there were more than ten people.
"Brother Yao, most of the Fragrance Sect's strongholds in the capital have been removed. What should we do next?”
A handsome young man in his twenties said,""Not enough."
Yao Sui's expression was calm." How dare you threaten us?" he said indifferently.”
"We must teach them a harsh lesson and let them know who is the master.”
The others nodded in agreement.
In their hearts, they looked down on evil sects like the Fragrance Sect, and cooperating with them was just to use them as a tool.
Now that the tool dared to threaten its master, it must be severely punished!
"Then what does Brother Yao mean?"
Yao Sui sneered." Doesn't the Governor's Office want to investigate? Then we'll give him a push."”
"The Fragrance Sect has been planning for many years and has placed many people around key figures.”
" I have a list of names here: the concubine of Tongzhi, the commander of the Martial Guards, the captain of the guards of Gu Wei, the governor of the Abyss Guardians, a lieutenant of the Monster-Slaying Guards…"
Yao Sui took a sip of tea and said casually,"If they want to investigate, we'll open the lid."”
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
"The Governor's Office went to war, but in the end, they investigated themselves.”
"If they keep it a secret, we will mobilize all the scholars and gentry of the Academy.”
"If they don't recognize their own family…"
"Hehe, their internal department is in a state of panic, and they even lost face in front of the world.”
These scholars had a belly full of bad ideas, and when it came to conspiracies, each one was more sinister than the other.
Yao Sui nodded in satisfaction.
He believed that as long as this plan was successful and the Governor's Office's arrogance was dealt a blow, his position in the family would be even more stable.
Yao Sui pressed his hand down and whispered,"Everyone!”
"The Emperor is seriously ill, and the Crown Prince is in charge of the country. We civil officials must help the Crown Prince manage the world.”
"These martial artists are arrogant and domineering. They have turned the world into a foul atmosphere and smoke everywhere.”
"To save the Great Zhou, only we civil officials will have complete power. The martial artists and officers are all fools.”
"We are all the best scholars of the academies. We must restore the order dominated by scholars decades ago.”
"As long as the crown prince ascends the throne and everyone is present, we will have a chance to show our ambitions.”
“……”
Xu Mo listened for a long time and finally understood.
Many of his previous doubts were now cleared up.
In the end, everything was because of the power struggle in the upper echelons of the Great Zhou.
The struggle at the top level might be to exchange cups and drinks, talking and laughing to maintain face.
Reflected on the lower levels, it was a bloody storm, life and death.
Although the Great Zhou had declined, it had maintained its orthodoxy for 800 years.
Even now, he was a well-deserved giant.
The Great Zhou Imperial Court could be divided into three major factions.
Military officers represented the Dudu Mansion.
The internal affairs cabinet represented by civil officials
The Privy Council represented by officers
However, the Great Zhou was not a peaceful world. Demons, evil sects, sects, sea races, and enemy countries were in constant chaos.
As a result, the Governor's Office was the most powerful department.
The scholars, on the other hand, became the logistics and assistants.
The civil officials could tolerate it for a short period of time, but how could they accept it if it continued like this?
Therefore, conflict was inevitable.
The Great Zhou had not always been like this. According to historical records, the era led by scholars had ruled the Great Zhou for nearly a few hundred years.
A few decades ago, a shocking event happened.
The Governor's Office had risen to power and become an irreplaceable existence.
The literati had ruled for hundreds of years, but now they had lost their power. One could imagine how twisted their hearts were.
In order to suppress the Governor's Office, they did not hesitate to collude with the Fragrance School.
However, they did not expect that the cult of the Smelling Fragrance Sect was not to be trifled with. They had threatened them instead.
That was why they had ambushed the imperial prison today.
It wasn't that the Fragrance Sect was stupid, but that the literati concealed the information and killed with a borrowed knife.
The scholar's move of borrowing strength to fight strength was like killing many birds with one stone.
It removed the hidden danger of the Sect of Fragrance's tail and dealt a blow to the Governor's Office's fierce aura.
It even made the suspicious Emperor more suspicious of the Governor's Office, creating an opportunity for the literati to take power.
