Chapter 261: The Blank Imperial Edict of the Zongrenfu (Please subscribe!)
"The clan house?"

Xu Qing stared at Feng Lingchen with deep eyes.

He just learned from Feng Lingchen that
The day after he destroyed Prince Jing's mansion and arrested the prince and the princess, the clan house suddenly issued an order to imprison all tomb keepers who were not awarded titles based on their merits in the clan house.

The Ministry of Clan Affairs was in charge of the registers of the nine royal clans, and would compile their jade books from time to time, recording matters concerning the clan members' descendants, titles, succession, births and deaths, marriages, and posthumous names and burials.

At the same time, he is responsible for punishing royal children who make mistakes.

Therefore, the actions of the clan affairs office were justified and reasonable.

But it is hard not to have bad thoughts when the clan affairs office does this at this critical juncture.

Compared with national laws, family rules are ultimately biased. It is common for the thunder to be loud but the rain to be small, and for the board to be raised high and then fall lightly.

"Isn't it the intention of the current emperor to deal with the problem of the tomb keepers seriously? Isn't the clan office standing against your emperor?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

The Zongrenfu was said to be a bridge between the emperor and the royal children, but in reality it only managed the royal children for the emperor.

The power to manage and punish royal children was granted by the emperor.

His current behavior is tantamount to rebelling against the Tian Gang and challenging the emperor, which is something that no emperor would tolerate.

"Who knows." Feng Lingchen shrugged. "Maybe those elders in the clan's residence are taking advantage of their seniority to do things indiscriminately. After all, His Majesty didn't issue an edict openly, so it doesn't count as going against His Majesty's will."

"A bunch of confused people, if they don't give an explanation to all the sects in the world, there is no doubt whether the Great Sheng Empire can remain stable." Qin Hongsheng suddenly interrupted the topic and sneered.

"If the Great Sheng Empire collapses, even if we can save them today, what good will it do? By then, the entire royal family will suffer."

"Without the skin, where will the hair stay?!"

"Even if you have been promoted now, you can't say such things!" Feng Lingchen hurriedly stopped Qin Hongsheng from talking nonsense.

"Lord Qin, long time no see." Xu Qing bowed to Qin Hongsheng.

Qin Hongsheng turned sideways, not accepting the greeting head-on, and then waved his hand and said:

"You are the inspector. I cannot address you as 'sir' in front of you. I should call you 'sir'."

"Do you two know each other?" Feng Lingchen asked in surprise.

"I met the inspector in Huai'an." Qin Hongsheng said with a smile, "I just didn't expect to meet him again in the Imperial Capital."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Qin Hongsheng, Xu Qing asked, "Will it be enough to send out only us this time? What about the twenty-eight constellations? What about the Zhongdou Star Lord?"

He didn't think this time it would be as simple as Prince Jing's Mansion.

Since the clan affairs office stood on the opposite side of the emperor, it must have made full preparations. It would not be like the Jingwang Mansion, where the top combat forces were temporarily called away by the emperor.

If they go alone, they will probably come back empty-handed.

The twenty-eight constellations are in charge of handling thorny evil spirit cases and travel around the place. The four star gods of the east, west, south, and north are in charge of the four directions of Dasheng, so it is understandable that they are not in the imperial capital city.

But Zhongdou Star Lord is in charge of the imperial capital, so why doesn’t he show up for such an important event?

"Zhong Dou Xingjun has already gone ahead." Feng Lingchen said seriously, "In addition, Tian Peng Zhenjun will also help us."

"Master Tianpeng will also take action?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Well, if the top combat power in the world gets involved in this matter,” Feng Lingchen said in a serious tone.

If even Tianpeng, the leader of the Four Saints, is going to take action, then this incident will really be out of control.

Xu Qing shook his head: "It's really troublesome."

the other side.

Jingqing and a woman in a white dress stood on the street, looking at the clan palace in the distance.

The woman was wrapped in a white dress, showing off her slender and graceful figure, with shoulders as sharp as a knife, waist as thin as a willow, long and slender neck, and white skin. Her appearance was also very beautiful.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her face is like lotus, her skin is as smooth as fat, and she is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off her once you see her.

"What is your purpose for coming to Beijing this time?" the beautiful woman asked in a gentle voice.

"Someone wants to bully my junior brother, so naturally I have to support him." Jing Qing replied lazily.

"With the Arctic Exorcism Institute here, he will be fine no matter what." The beautiful woman shook her head, "I can swear in the name of the Arctic Exorcism Institute."

"You are only a Star Lord, not one of the Four Saints. You cannot represent the North Pole Exorcism Institute. It is better not to boast so much."

The beautiful woman is Zhongdou Star God, one of the five star gods of the North Pole Exorcism Institute, and the only woman among the five star gods.

His surname is Pei and his given name is Yunxuan.

"What if Tianpeng promised it himself?" Pei Yunxuan said slowly, "The Arctic Exorcism Institute will never let any inspector get into trouble while on duty! Never!"

"Can this promise reassure you and allow you to leave the Imperial Capital?"

Jingqing looked puzzled when he heard this.

She remembered the contents of the letter sent to her by Guan Nei.

Ostensibly, she came to the capital to protect her junior fellow apprentice, but in reality, she did so to investigate some matters of the royal family.

When Hongze Hujun fled across the river, the sect was attacked by a group of stray dogs, and the most important sect altar was sealed.

What the group of stray dogs used to suppress the clan altar was the imperial edict left by Taizu of Dasheng.

How could this matter not arouse suspicion among the elders in the audience?

The emperor was suspicious. The founder of Yuanfu Temple assisted Taizu of Dasheng in establishing his kingdom and established the Beiji Exorcism Institute. His achievements were enormous.

It is understandable that Taizu of Da Sheng had doubts about the ancestor's attitude towards Yuanfu Temple, but no matter what, he would not issue an imperial edict against Yuanfu Temple.

The elders in the temple guessed that the suppression of the sect altar should be one of the three blank imperial edicts left by the Great Sheng Taizu.

These three blank imperial edicts were issued in the name of Emperor Taizu of Da Sheng, but did not contain any imperial decrees. They were the foundation left by Emperor Taizu of Da Sheng to later emperors.

It is a national treasure of the Great Sheng Dynasty, along with the Umbrella of All People and the Sun and Moon Flag.

However, now one of them has fallen into the hands of that group of stray dogs, and the imperial court has not taken any action. This is something that cannot but make people think deeply.

"It seems that your purpose of coming to Beijing this time is extraordinary, otherwise you wouldn't be like this." Pei Yunxuan glanced at Jingqing and said so.

"Why is it a crime for me to enter Kyoto?" Jing Qing said unhappily.

"Of course I'm not guilty. I don't really care what you want to do." Pei Yunxuan said gently, "It's just that Tianpeng feels that the current Imperial Capital is already in chaos enough, and he really doesn't want to cause any more trouble."

"You use my junior brother as a knife, but you say we are going to cause trouble. You are quite interesting." Jing Qing sneered.

"It's you, not Taoist Jingdu." Pei Yunxuan corrected.

"Ah."

Jingqing was about to retort when suddenly two figures appeared in front of Jingqing and Pei Yunxuan.

"Master Jingqing from Yuanfu Temple, and Zhongdou Xingjun from Beiji Exorcism Institute, what is the purpose of your visit to our clan government?" the two old men asked respectfully.

"You're asking even though you know the answer." Jing Qing smiled disdainfully: "But this matter has nothing to do with me. I just came here to protect my junior brother."

"If you don't do anything to him, I won't interfere in your affairs."
