Fairy, Please Let Me Explain Chapter 519

Chapter 519 The Great Purge

Compared to the sharp edges and corners of other senior officials in the Prime Minister's Office, Long Po Po has actually always maintained the gentleness that has been inherited since she was a girl.

 Compared to the distinct conservatives and radicals in the Prime Minister's Office, she has always been following the trend.

 This has nothing to do with ability, it depends on character.

 For this, Lou Ji is to blame.

In the girlhood when Long Xinxin's personality was forming, Lou Ji's company made her become calm from jumping out, but her behavior of silently helping her deal with all the dangers and trivial matters around her made Long Xinxin become independent.

 She is a good person, and among the top officials of the Prime Minister's Office, she is like a good person who relied on Lou Ji to rise to power.

 And the problem lies precisely here.

If Granny Long really relied on Lou Ji's connections to rise to power, Xu Yinhe would have spared her life even for the sake of Lou Ji's affection. But the reality is that Granny Long became a high-ranking official in the Prime Minister's Office because of her noble bloodline.

To this day, if you want to subdivide the government of the Prime Minister, it can actually be divided into five parties.

 The Long family became a close partner of the Prime Minister's Office.

Your dragon soul wants to restore the Long family, that's fine, but what about submitting a certificate of honor?

Lou Ji said in a low voice with a hint of helplessness:

“Your father has been waiting for a long time, but she has not responded. I am afraid that she does not understand, and I have even reminded her privately, but she still has not responded.”

This was originally nothing to the Long family. As one of the few thousand-year-old families in Dayan, they had experienced too many similar situations, and their family background was enough for them to sit on the sidelines during this turmoil. However, However, the head of the family at that time supported the former prince because of his personal relationship and the promise made to him.

Xu Yuan's eyes were a little confused:

That dad never minds delegating power, but the prerequisite is that you have to hand in the certificate of surrender.

The blood debt caused by the Black Scale Guard almost made sects all over the world hate them. This was Lou Ji's letter of submission to Xu Yinhe.

The result is obvious. In that political catastrophe, not long after the death of the saint of the Long family, the head of the Long family also passed away along with Li Yaoxuan's eldest brother, the prince.

 Lou Ji shook her head:

 “Kill your own heirs to make a declaration of surrender?”

The death of the two backbones and a series of mistakes in strategic decisions made the Long family's situation precarious. After the death of the family head, the internal fighting among the five heirs directly caused the originally strong Long family to be destroyed almost overnight. Designed to be dismembered.

 Thinking about it carefully, the Black Scale Guard is already a bit scary.

 After that, a new round of internal fighting broke out in the Long family.

  It has nothing to do with cultivation, it is the nobility that comes from blood.

 Collaboration unfolded naturally.

Not long after the unhappy separation, he suddenly fell ill, seriously ill and inexplicably.

"Why?"

However, the strong inertia of the millennium-old family still allowed the power of the Long family to disintegrate. Over the past few decades, they gradually gathered around Long Xinxin, the only remaining legitimate daughter of the Long family.

 As a semi-saint strong man, he died of a serious illness so quickly.

With the help of Xu Yinhe, Granny Long's brother won the internal fight of the Long family and became the only head of the Long family.

Black Scale Guards are almost everywhere in Great Yan, and their single-line organizational structure makes the Black Scale Guards almost independent of the power of the Prime Minister. In addition, Lou Ji has many channels for making money.

In the tenth year when Granny Long's brother took power in the Long family, at the Prime Minister's Mansion banquet that year, a fierce conflict broke out between the head of the Long family and Xu Yinhe.

 It is the eldest brother who is very similar to Li Yunqing.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and then understood the meaning behind Lou Ji's words.

Needless to mention the first three, they are all firmly controlled by Xu Yinhe. The local aristocratic families that he conquered are scattered throughout Great Yan, and coupled with the deliberate differentiation of the Prime Minister's Palace of Di'an, even if these aristocratic families have the intention to form an interest in the Prime Minister's Palace, It is also difficult for a collective to unite into one force, with the only exception being the Di'an Long family.

 The Prime Minister's Mansion has experienced two periods of rapid expansion, both of which were built on the corpses of two thousand-year-old families.

In this environment, Long Popo's brother established a connection with Xu Yinhe, who had already ascended to the position of prime minister of Dayan, through her relationship with Lou Ji.

This is an organization similar to the Jin Yiwei in the previous life. However, in order to control and eliminate the power of the Jin Yiwei, the emperor directly castrated them into eunuchs' subordinates. However, Xu Yinhe didn't care about this, and even turned a blind eye to the channels through which he made money privately. Close one eye.

The relationship between the Emperor's Long Family and the Prime Minister's Office is actually very complicated. Cooperation means far more than annexation. The time when the Long Family Saint was enthroned was unfortunately stuck in the most turbulent period of the change of imperial power.

 That father does not object to his subordinates having too much power.

A bit of white snow fell on the purple tulle, and the look in Lou Ji's eyes was a little lonely:

“She actually has no intention of restoring the Long family. She was put into that position by those people without authorization. However, there are a few ambitious people among her descendants, and they have contacted many former officials of the Long family.”

Xu Yuan looked at her fair face and asked in a low voice:

 with the newly-rich groups that have been promoted in the past few decades, the original Jingjiang Xu family, the Jingcheng Feng family, the local aristocratic families that have been conquered through various means, and the Imperial Dragon family.

As he spoke, Lou Ji lowered his eyes and said with some self-deprecation:

 “But in fact, even so, she can survive.”

The prince of the Feng family and the eldest daughter of the emperor led a rebellion to seize their father's power. This power was in the hands of Xu Yuan's mother, but after Xu Yuan's mother passed away, because Feng Jiuxuan was the hands-off shopkeeper, this power was natural Then he handed it over to Xu Yinhe.

 Is Lou Ji powerful?

The man is affectionate and the concubine is interested.

  No matter how close the cooperative relationship is, it will always change with the changes of time and interests.

This internal fight came without warning and was extremely fierce. Almost all the direct descendants of the Long family died in this internal fight, and the behemoth Long family was completely dismembered.

"This is just one of the ways. Your father is very tolerant. As long as he doesn't violate the bottom line, his tolerance for us is almost unlimited."

Just like after the death of the ancient emperor in Xu Yuan's previous life, the officials below would definitely find a collateral royal family to be the emperor.

This is already an open-book exam. Oh no, open-book exams are a bit conservative. This is already putting the answers in front of you for you to copy.

Even if Grandma Long couldn't bear to attack her own children, she could still attack the sect.

 If Grandma Long has this intention, based on her friendship with Lou Ji, Xu Yuan believes that even if it is not convenient for her to take action herself, she will let her Black Scale Guards provide her with information convenience.

Lou Ji exhaled a breath of white mist that dispersed instantly in the snowy night:

“Taking action against the sect will involve many veterans of the Long family, and those veterans are loyal to her.”

 “But isn't the result the same?”

Xu Yuan whispered: "If she doesn't do it, the Prime Minister will do it after her death."

 “Due to her temperament, she cannot take action against her own people.”

Lou Ji raised her eyes and looked at the sword light in the sky that had gradually dissipated. She seemed to see the girl who was timid and trembling when she first met her.

 Biting her lip, Lou Ji lightly clenched her fists:

“If I had only been there to help her and let her handle those things on her own, making her more cold-blooded, maybe the result now would be a little different.”

 Long Po Po died of her gentle temperament and her "fantastic attempt" to restore the Long family.

Although this may not be her intention, she must die.

After saying that, Lou Ji had no intention of talking for a moment, so Xu Yuan accompanied her and walked outside Xiangqin Xuan.

Having dealt with the female guests in Lou Ji's direct lineage, we will now go to Xingjingxuan where the male guests are.

However, Lou Ji's mood adjusted quickly. When the two came to Xingjingxuan, she started chatting with Xu Yuan with a smile. She chatted with him about the female guest named Sister Lou Ji.

What makes Xu Yuan a little bit amused is that the reason why this old sister's former sister was ordered to die by his father was because of love.

She has a husband, but apart from his appearance and poetic talent, he is useless in other aspects.

 He likes to make friends with dignitaries and show off in front of those people.

Just as Xu Yuan once went to his father's study to steal internal medicine and sell it for money because he was short of money, Lou Ji's husband often leaked some confidential information because of those "friends".

  But the difference between the two is that his wife is only a high-ranking member of the Black Scale Guard, while Xu Yuan's father is the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

His doing this will lead to very serious consequences, but if Xu Yuan does this, he will not bear any consequences - if being hung up by Xu Changge and beaten does not count.

Before tonight, Lou Ji warned the adopted sister she picked up in a dark alley more than once, but her love brain is hopeless. She forgot about it in a few days and continued to indulge her husband.

 So she died tonight.

After arriving at Xingjingxuan, the white snow on the ground that had been dispersed by Feng Jiuxuan's sword had piled up again. Xu Yuan accompanied Lou Ji while walking in Xingjingxuan, killing people.

 They all roughly knew what they had committed. Some of them chose to be decent themselves, while the other part accomplished it with the help of Lou Ji.

However, what made Xu Yuan a little helpless was that when those dishonorable guests took action, they all aimed at him.

Like a big dad wandering around with a flaw.

While Lou Ji was killing people, she also told Xu Yuan the reason why he killed these people.

 Some people betrayed directly, some because of private compromise with the sect, and still others because of a lack of ambition after their power was stabilized.

In addition, Xu Yuan also met two old acquaintances on the way to accompany Lou Ji to kill people.

 The two old men Jiang He and Hua Hong.

After the Prime Minister's Mansion Formation is opened, anyone without the Soul Key will be trapped in the Chaos Yin Formation and unable to use their spiritual consciousness to explore the outside world.

The two old men, each accompanied by two men in black robes with bottomless auras, knocked on the door one by one.

While hesitating whether to say hello or not, the two old men had already snorted coldly and passed by them.

 Looks like he's not in a good mood.

 If you kill your direct descendant by yourself, you will naturally not be happy.

Xu Yuan felt that this was probably a kind of certificate of investment.

 Coming out of the last courtyard, Xu Yuan sighed lightly:

 “This is really a big purge”

 Tonight Xu Yuan and Lou Ji killed eleven people in total.

 After a rough calculation, one is suspected to be a mortal, three are suspected to be Yuanchu, four are suspected to be great masters, and four are mortals.

If you include Hua Hong, Jiang He and other people who were dealt with by the core of the prime minister's office, this number should have increased several times.

And when the aftermath of this purge spreads beyond the prime minister's house, the number of people involved will probably increase a hundred times.

“Removing the sarcoma will be painful, but it's the only way to get on with the journey.”

Lou Ji used the spirit powder to dispose of the corpse and said softly: "Don't worry, your father has prepared a plan for everyone he will kill tonight. Tonight is both the beginning and the end. There will be no big turmoil in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"hope so."

Lou Ji's beautiful eyes curved, she patted the remaining spiritual powder on her hand, and said with a slight smile:

“After everything has been dealt with, should Chang Tian return to the inner courtyard tonight, or should he stay and talk to his sister?”

Xu Yuan glanced at Lou Ji's smiling expression and shook his head slightly:

“I think you want to be alone now rather than talk.”

 Lou Ji raised her hand and touched Xu Yuan's head:

 “Changtian, you really understand me.”

Xu Yuan raised his hand to open Lou Ji's hand, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard:

"I'm going back first. So many things happened tonight, and Xinyao didn't know anything about it. She should be very worried if she stays alone in the inner courtyard."

 “I'll give it to you.”

"Need not."

“You want to pass under Ran Jianli's nose?”

When Xu Yuan returned to the inner courtyard and opened the main courtyard door, as expected, he saw the beautiful figure pacing back and forth in the main hall where the family was dining.

The sky seemed like an aurora, the brilliant sword light completely dissipated, the sky returned to darkness, and amid the swaying wind and snow, the inscription lamp illuminated the lobby clearly, reflecting the anxious look on the girl's face.

The moment she heard the movement at the door, a flash of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and she immediately rushed up to meet her, asking eagerly:

 “Third brother, what happened outside?”

Xu Yuan smiled softly at her, walked toward the lobby, and said softly:

 “A piece of good news or a piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Xu Xinyao was stunned when she heard this, and then stamped her feet angrily:

 “Brother! Stop showing off!”

Stepping into the lobby, Xu Yuan took out his chair and sat down, crossed his legs idly, looked at the fourth sister who was like a follower, and said with a slow smile:

 “The good news is that we found the Boundary Sky Stone.”

"What?"

Xu Xinyao was slightly startled, and then she reacted quickly.

As a formation master, she is very aware of the value of an artifact like the Space Stone that can be engraved with a teleportation formation.

 She asked tentatively:

“What happens outside is because of the Jie Kong Stone?”

"You can say that."

Xu Yuan nodded and whispered: "But the bad news is that we failed and the cooked boundary stone flew away."

 Xu Yuan did not tell Xu Xinyao the whole story of tonight, but briefly recounted the events of the night, cutting off the beginning and ending. Just as he was about to make some jokes to lighten the atmosphere, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an additional figure in the courtyard outside the main hall.

 A figure with its head raised.

 It's Feng Jiuxuan who's back.
