Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 323 The Holy Favor Cannot Be Lost!
This is a letter asking for help!

Lin Wenxu never dreamed that Xu Wenhua, who in his eyes was a noble hermit, would be involved in the Jingzhou massacre.

When Xu Wenhua gave up his official career, he did not go in search of immortals, but joined the Salvation Sect!

His alchemy is a means of learning to save the world, and now he is a "master" of the Jingzhou Sect, in charge of alchemy affairs.

Now that the Jingzhou case broke out, the imperial court has surrounded Jingzhou and set up checkpoints along the way. Although he has not been arrested yet, his identity has been exposed and he is already on the list of the Astronomical Observatory.

Other members of the Salvation Church might be able to escape, but Xu Wenhua would never be able to escape from Jingzhou.

Unless...someone can help.

It was for this reason that Xu Wenhua went to great lengths to have this letter for help delivered to Kyoto.

"…One 'longevity pill' requires sixty years of life to refine. How much of the pills I have given you in recent years count as human lives? If you unfortunately fall into the hands of the Sky Patrol, you will not be able to escape either. I hope you will think clearly and help me out, so that both of us can survive."

Lin Wenxu held the letter paper, his hands shaking constantly.

Every word on the paper seemed to have turned into a curse that was taking one's life.

He just felt his head spinning, his vision went black, his body swayed a few times, and he slammed the table hard to avoid falling down.

"How could this be... How could Brother Makino be such a person..."

He kept muttering to himself, his face looked gloomy and ugly, and only one thought emerged in his mind - it's over.

Now that the Jingzhou bloody case has shocked the government and the public, Xu Wenhua has made it clear in the letter that if he is caught, he will definitely be found out.

And that elixir, not only he had taken it, but also his wife and his teacher...

How could that be the elixir for refining human beings!
Lin Wenxu felt his stomach churning like a churning sea. His face turned pale and he vomited: "Ugh..."

But can you vomit completely?
"Teacher...you must not implicate me in this matter!"

He didn't care about the dirt on the ground, and with a burning heart, he stood up and ran out of the house.

……

"Yunwen, why are you here again today?"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wu Yong, dressed in casual clothes, came to the hall and was a little surprised to see Lin Wenxu.

In fact, he had already gone to bed. After all, he was an elderly man and had recently used up all the "red pills". He was very tired and prepared to rest early.

When he heard the servant report that Lin Wenxu wanted to see him, he originally wanted to send him away and ask Lin Wenxu to come back tomorrow.

But when Wu Yong heard the servants mention that Lin Wenxu repeatedly asked to see him, he knew that something had happened, so he came out to see him.

Sure enough, when he came to the hall and saw Lin Wenxu, he saw that his face was pale and his eyes were evasive, and it was obvious that something had happened.

Lin Wenxu walked quickly to him and bowed, "Teacher, please ask the attendants to leave."

There was a hint of surprise in Wu Yong's eyes, but he still nodded and waved his hand to signal his servants to leave.

When only the master and his disciple were left in the hall, Lin Wenxu knelt down in front of Wu Yong with a plop, his face ashen as death, and said, "I have made a big mistake and implicated you, teacher. I will die!"

He reached his hand into his sleeve tremblingly, took out the letter and handed it to Wu Yong.

Wu Yong took the letter calmly, opened it, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and looked at it. After reading it, he remained silent for a long time.

"Yunwen..."

After a long while, he gradually opened his mouth, his voice a little low: "The 'Red Pill' you gave me, is it a pill for refining people?"

"What the letter said... is indeed true!"

Lin Wenxu slammed his head hard on the ground, and blood instantly gushed out of his forehead: "I didn't know how to judge people, and I mistook a bad guy. I didn't expect that my fellow villager was actually a remnant of the Salvation Church... Now I have made a big mistake, and it is inevitable that I will implicate the teacher."

"The students have no intention of saving themselves, nor do they intend to be in league with this evil person. The students are willing to take full responsibility for all the crimes."

"I hope the teacher will hand the student over to the Holy Judge!"

He came this time not to ask Wu Yong for help, but to protect Wu Yong!
He wanted Wu Yong to hand him over personally, and tried his best to remove Wu Yong from the matter, and take all the blame himself.

Wu Yong did not agree immediately, but asked, "Besides you, has anyone else read this letter?"

Lin Wenxu shook his head and said, "Only one student has seen it."

Wu Yong fell into deep thought, and suddenly asked a question: "Then Xu Wenhua...hasn't fallen into the hands of the Astronomical Survey?"

Lin Wenxu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately understood Wu Yong's idea. He quickly advised: "Teacher, you must not do this. The bloody case in Jingzhou shocked the court and the public. Although I accepted the evil pill from the Salvation Sect, I was deceived after all. Even if the court wants to punish me, only I will die, and this matter will be over."

"I swear that, apart from me and Princess De Ling, no one else knows that the evil pill was delivered to you. Even if I die, I will not let you get involved and damage your reputation!"

In fact, the crime committed by Lin Wenxu could not be considered a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.

Even if Wu Yong helped him, he might not die.

But... my future is completely ruined.

But he still resolutely came out to fight against the crime, because he knew that if he continued to entangle with Xu Wenhua, things would probably become more serious!
Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Although I trust you and your wife, the matter of the Red Pill is not only known to you and your wife. My wife and concubines know about this in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If my wife and concubines know about it, there is no guarantee that they will not tell the people around them. After all this, I don't know how many people have heard about it."

"Do you want me to kill my wife and destroy my family? Even if I am cruel enough, can I guarantee that no one outside will know about it? If outsiders know about it, killing my wife and destroying my family will be nothing more than covering up the truth."

He looked at Lin Wenxu who was kneeling on the ground and sighed, "Yunwen, do you know what I relied on to get to my current position?"

Lin Wenxu replied: "Of course, the teacher has the ability to assist the country!"

"No." Wu Yong shook his head and emphasized, "It's because His Majesty trusts me."

"Your Majesty trusts me and has entrusted the government to me. Even if I am tainted by bad reputation, even if the people below me are against me, or even if my political enemies attack me... so what?"

"I am good at playing along, so what? I love my party and fight against those who are different, so what?"

"As long as I am in the favor of the Emperor, even if the world hates me to the core, what can they do to me?"

The voice became louder and louder, until it was filled with anger.

But the next moment, Wu Yong was like a deflated ball, and he sighed, "But the only one who can't have any misunderstanding with the Salvation Church is...

"Even a small thing is enough to make me lose the favor of the Holy One."

"Once you lose the Holy Spirit's favor, what awaits you is... eternal damnation!"
