Chapter 102 The Death of Pei Zhao
Pei Zhao was in the mansion, feeling uneasy.
He felt uneasy, and even the attentive service of his concubines could not bring him joy.
Pei Zhao pushed the concubine away, deep in thought, and muttered to himself:
"Strange, strange!"
"Master, I am sitting peacefully at home, so why does my Daoist heart become alert, and why is my heart pounding so nervously? Alas! Could it be that I have fallen into the True Man's trap?"
The concubine was pushed away. She wiped away her tears, collapsed to the ground, and sobbed:
"You said you wanted to welcome me into your family, and that as long as you dealt with that Daoist Yunxuan or found a scapegoat, your wife wouldn't stop you, and we could be together forever."
"You're right, Pei Lang, you really didn't lie to me! You did marry me, but your heart has changed. You've become disgusted with me, and you no longer love me..."
What does a monk have to do with love?
Pei Zhao regretted his initial lust for this concubine's body. The more he listened to her words, the more impatient he became.
The concubine's words seemed to jump around in his mind, making his already chaotic mind even more disordered.
"Wait, did you just say 'Taoist Yunxuan'?"
Pei Zhao raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling a flash of inspiration, and ignored the concubine's complaints.
When his concubine mentioned Daoist Yunxuan, his heartbeat noticeably quickened.
Thinking of this, Pei Zhao suddenly felt enlightened.
"So, the one who's been making me uneasy is this Daoist Yunxuan. But didn't I already settle my karmic ties with him and let him go? Why am I still involved with him now?"
Pei Zhao was very puzzled.
"Could this person, a mere seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, possibly pose a problem for me?"
The official residences of the Great Yun Kingdom are all protected by array formations, so a mere Qi Refining Formation is naturally impossible to break through. Moreover, even if the array formations are breached, the Demon Extermination Guards will be dispatched immediately.
Pei Zhao found it utterly absurd.
"Could that ordinary-looking Daoist Yunxuan really be a spy for the Demonic Sect?"
"Pei Lang! You are so cruel, so cruel!"
The concubine was still crying.
Pei Zhao's head was in a mess, and his eyes flashed with ferocity:
"Perhaps what you said back then was right. I should indeed find an opportunity to kill Daoist Yunxuan. That way, no matter what schemes he has, they won't work on me."
"Or rather, we should capture him as soon as possible and interrogate him to find out who is plotting against me."
The Vice Minister's residence was shrouded in magical power, and a familiar magical barrier rose up all around.
The formation seemed to have no effect at all, and Lu Qingyun entered without any response.
As soon as he entered, Lu Qingyun heard Pei Zhao's scheming voice and immediately smiled:
"Actually, there's no need to capture Daoist Yunxuan. Mr. Pei is the Vice Minister of Works; surely he can summon a mere seventh-level cultivator for an audience?"
"That makes sense..."
Pei Zhao nodded, unaware that his concubine beside him was trembling and constantly giving him subtle hints.
Pei Zhao rested his chin on his hand: "As the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, I can easily issue a task to Lu Qingyun, requiring him to assist in the investigation. That way, if he doesn't come, it will be because he is colluding with the Demonic Sect and intends to overthrow Dayun."
"If he comes, that would be even better. I'll frame him for colluding with the Demonic Sect, and he'll fall into my trap anyway. I can make him live or die as I please."
"I am pleased to remind you that this is a great service. Tomorrow you may go to the accounting office and collect two hundred spirit stones!"
Pei Zhao spoke with great pride, just about to praise Lu Qingyun and say that his reminder was good.
However, the next moment, when their eyes met, Pei Zhao's face froze.
The one who spoke was none other than Daoist Yunxuan!
"A brilliant plan! A brilliant plan! As expected of Vice Minister Pei of the Ministry of Works, your methods truly leave me in awe!"
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
Since arriving in Yunxia City, he has experienced the simple and honest folk customs of the people here several times.
From tax officials to city gate officials, and from city gate officials to high-ranking officials, none of them were unaware of how to falsify information or frame others.
It turns out that it was a case of the superiors influencing the subordinates!
"It's you! If you dare to plot against me here, the Great Yun Kingdom will certainly not let you off!"
Pei Zhao shuddered, his expression fierce but his words were stern.
He hadn't forgotten that he was in the residence of a high-ranking official, and the moment he finished speaking, he immediately contacted the Demon Extermination Guard.
Once the Demon Exorcism Guard arrives, no matter how arrogant Lu Qingyun is, his death is imminent!
"You won't let me go?"
Lu Qingyun chuckled and looked at Pei Zhao.
"As expected of the Vice Minister of Works, even knowing the danger, you still managed to feign composure. In your next life, I hope you'll be a good person!"
After speaking.
Lu Qingyun didn't waste any more words with him. Instead, he immediately drew his magic sword and slashed out, leaving a bloody hole in Pei Zhao's forehead.
Immediately, cries of pain came from the concubine and Madam Zhao.
The entire mansion was in complete chaos.
