Tang Dynasty Puppet Doctor

Chapter 29 Please enter the urn
The enraged Zhou Xing suddenly shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand attacked Li Linghuan with the force of a mountain!

But the person in front of him just shrank his body, and the long sword slashed towards the ground, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.

"I didn't know Minister Zhou had such bravery and strength! This really impressed me!"

In her previous life, she had only heard that Zhou Xing was a cruel official who invented countless tortures by any means necessary, but she had never heard that he was also a master!

It’s really unexpected!

"There's no other way. If you've climbed up from the bottom, you really can't do it without learning some martial arts. You have too many enemies!"

"That's true. It's not easy for Minister Zhou to reach his current position as a Third Rank Autumn Minister! But aren't there too many people below you in high office?"

"That's right, a general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers! Which famous general's success doesn't come without countless bones under his hands?"

"Minister Zhou really knows how to flatter himself. You are at best a cruel official who will be infamous for eternity. How can you be compared to a famous general?"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Xing's two caterpillar-like eyebrows suddenly twisted into a ball.

"Boy, your words are so harsh! Since you say I'm a cruel official, today I'll show you how powerful a cruel official can be!"

As Zhou Xing spoke, he shouted again, drew his long sword, and slashed at Li Linghuan again. But at the moment the blade fell, Li Linghuan had already turned around, came behind him, and took the opportunity to wrap the long silk in his hand around his neck.

Zhou Xing was horrified, but then he heard someone behind him ask, "May I ask Minister Zhou, why did you kill Su Minghe and his family of three? Was it because of a grudge, or was someone else instigating it? Or is there some other secret?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you that. How can you be so agile at such a young age? Who taught you these killing techniques?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you!"

While Li Linghuan was speaking, Zhou Xing's palm wind came like a sharp blade. Just when he was about to tear off the cloth covering Li Linghuan's face, she dodged it again.

The red silk was stretched very long, but Li Linghuan walked to his desk and looked at the volume after volume of treasonous books written by Zhou Xing, as well as the blood-stained palm prints on them.

It is clear that these people suffered such cruel treatment before being forced to confess that they would rather bear the crime of having their entire clan exterminated than be tortured and humiliated again.

Li Linghuan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Minister Zhou's method of fabricating charges is quite clever!"

After sighing, she suddenly raised her head and asked again, "I'd like to ask Minister Zhou a question. If I want someone to admit that he is plotting a rebellion, but he refuses to admit it, what should I do?"

Zhou Xing sneered and said, "That's not easy. Find a large jar, heat it with charcoal, and then tie this man up in it. Think about it, how can he not confess?"

Li Linghuan smiled and pointed to a large urn already placed in the hall. "So this is the urn you prepared for Li Xiaolian? Minister Zhou, you really have no sympathy for women."

"How can I be gentle with a prisoner? But since that bitch has left, I have no choice but to invite you into this jar!"

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he glared and pressed the long sword in his hand down towards Li Linghuan's head with great force.

Unexpectedly, just as the long knife was about to fall on her head, Li Linghuan's expression suddenly changed, and his figure appeared in front of him in an instant like a ghost, and one hand reached out to his neck.

"I'm grateful for your advice! Minister Zhou, then please walk into the trap!"

She smiled and threw his body into the air with force. At the same time, the red silk in her hand stretched out like a snake again and instantly wrapped around Zhou Xing's neck. At the same time, she climbed onto the beam like an arrow. The red silk passed through the beam and was pulled down by the force of her falling body. At the same time, Zhou Xing also rose suddenly until he was hanging on the beam.

Zhou Xing's feet bounced wildly, and he opened his mouth to let out a muffled "ah ah" sound, but he could no longer utter a word. He just stared at Li Linghuan with his eyes wide open.

Li Linghuan, however, looked at the file on the desk and shook his head. "Minister Zhou's handwriting is truly terrible. Just like Minister Zhou, it's like an ugly, sharp knife. How about I finish this unfinished confession for you, allowing you to radiate a little bit of light before you die?"

Her eyes still had a smile on them, just like the stars in the night sky, flashing a chilling light.

After saying this, Li Linghuan picked up his pen and began to write on the unfinished confession.

No matter who Zhou Xing wanted to frame in this letter of apology, the final handwriting and fingerprints can only be from him, Zhou Xing!
After writing the letter of apology, Li Linghuan loosened his left hand, and Zhou Xing, who had already died, fell heavily to the ground, right into the jar.

Li Linghuan hung the letter of apology on Zhou Xing again, took Zhou Xing's bloody hand, pressed it heavily on the letter of apology, and finally lit a fire under the jar, climbed up the beam, removed the tiles and left!
"Minister Zhou, the ending I arranged for you is not bad, isn't it?"

The person has left, leaving only one sentence echoing in Zhou Xing's ears.

……

The sound lingered on the beams and the torches under the jars were burning brightly. The servants and guards who had gone to the warehouse to put out the fire finally realized that something was wrong and ran back to the hall.

The moment the door was pushed open, everyone was dumbfounded. They saw Zhou Xing lying in an urn he had prepared, with his tongue hanging out and his eyes wide open. A letter of confession was hung on his chest, which read: I am guilty. I have not taught my children well, framed loyal people, and harmed the people. I do not deserve to die!
At the same time, Lai Junchen also came to Zhou Xing's mansion with a secret letter. When he opened the door and walked into the hall, he froze on the spot.

He was just a Censor. Frankly speaking, Zhou Xing, the third-rank Minister of Autumn, was much more powerful than him, the sixth-rank Censor. So when Xiao Muchen found him and asked him to put Zhou Xing in jail on the charge of secretly reporting treason, he was terrified.

He was not completely sure about dealing with Zhou Xing, who was also known as a cruel official, but he had figured out how to use his spear to shoot at his shield.

I never expected to see this scene!
"Killing! Killing!"

The servants and maids in Zhou's mansion were so frightened that they scattered like a flock of birds, running and rushing in the streets, and soon attracted the attention of the Jinwu Guards who were patrolling in Xiuwenfang.

The leader was none other than General Qiu Shenji of the Left Jinwu Guard.

Qiu Shenji suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately led a group of Jinwu Guards to Zhou Xing's mansion.

Seeing Zhou Xing squatting in the jar staring at the onlookers, with the fire still burning fiercely under the jar, Qiu Shenji was shocked and stunned for a moment.

After a long while, he came back to his senses and shouted: "Put out the fire and rescue Minister Zhou from the jar!" The leading Jinwu Guards were stunned: Sir, are you kidding? He is in such a state, can he still be saved?
"Leave a few of you to rescue Minister Zhou, and the rest of you, come with me to track down the murderer. He probably hasn't gotten far yet!"

"Here!"

There were no pedestrians at night, but a huge fire suddenly broke out in Zhou's mansion, and shouts of "Murder" were heard. For a moment, people were running around in the streets, and there was a lot of noise.

"Search! Clear the streets immediately!"

Qiu Shenji immediately ordered all the Jinwu Guards to search the streets and alleys. When the gong sounded, countless elite Jinwu Guards holding spears ran back and forth on the streets, blocking the gates and trying to catch every suspicious person walking at night.

At this moment, Li Linghuan, still sprinting through the alley in his nightgown, suddenly spotted Li Xiaolian, who was also hiding from the Jinwu Guards at night. He quietly came up behind her and said, "Follow me!"

"You must leave here now, and pretend that you have never been to Zhou Xing's mansion."

Li Linghuan was about to pull her away when she saw her looking at him with tears in her eyes. She asked with great gratitude and sadness, "Why are you helping me?"

why?
She returned to this world, of course, not just to see again the world where cruel officials are rampant and the people are in chaos, but to change this world.

Rewrite the endings of those who shouldn't die!

It also changes the endings of those who deserve to die!

And Li Xiaolian is the second person she must rewrite the ending!

In his previous life, Li Xiaolian was boiled to death in an urn after failing to assassinate Zhou Xing. However, Zhou Xing was not ashamed of it, but proud of it. He regarded this torture he invented as a great achievement in his legal code reform and used it to intimidate ministers in the court. From then on, most of the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of his tyranny and joined the Wu family's relatives Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

As her mother Wu Zhao's right-hand men in consolidating the imperial power, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi's greatest political contribution was to eliminate dissidents, pave a bloody path for Wu Zhao's imperial rule, and kill countless loyal ministers and generals who were not loyal to the Wu family and were loyal to the Li Tang Dynasty.

Li Linghuan did not oppose his mother Wu Zetian's enthronement, but what she could not accept was that Wu Zetian condoned these cruel officials to harm her loved ones and the people.

There are also countless humble lives struggling to survive under the gorgeous appearance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, those lives like her are treated as ants or even discarded like used garbage.

Thinking of this, Li Linghuan looked at this pitiful woman with a miserable life, also a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, and said firmly: "I killed her, it has nothing to do with you, you should leave! I will lead these Jinwu Guards away!"

"Also, living well is the best reward for me!"

After saying this, before Li Xiaolian could reply, Li Linghuan had already jumped out of the alley and appeared in front of Qiu Shenji in such a dignified manner.

"General Qiu, are you looking for me?" she asked with a sneer.

Qiu Shenji was another cruel official who had killed countless innocent people, and the most undeserved thing he did was to force her second brother Li Xian to death.

"You killed Minister Zhou?"

"Yes! You want to bring me to justice?" Li Linghuan said, "Then come and arrest me!"

"How dare you! Where did this assassin come from? How dare you challenge the Jinwu Guards? Capture him!"

Several Jinwu Guards rode their horses and rushed forward with spears in hand. Unexpectedly, Li Linghuan grabbed the spear of one of the Jinwu Guards, and using the force of the spear, he jumped onto the horse's back and kicked the Jinwu Guard down.

She swept her spear, and several more Jinwu Guards fell off their horses. The horse she was riding had already galloped to the end of the street and disappeared in an instant.

"Don't let him get away! Keep chasing him!"

……

With the pursuers approaching from behind, Li Linghuan went around several alleys. When he was about to reach the place where he had agreed to meet Ah Shu, he saw a figure standing in front of him.

"Wulingyue! It's her again!"

Wulingyue was also a master of swordsmanship, and there were Jinwu Guards chasing her. Li Linghuan didn't want to fight with her for a long time, so he simply took the initiative and stabbed Wulingyue with his spear. At the moment when Wulingyue blocked her, she spurred her horse and galloped to the right again. When she turned into another alley, she jumped off the horse and jumped onto the eaves of a nearby house.

"who is it!"

Wu Lingyue had already caught up with her. Li Linghuan simply jumped down from the eaves, intending to find a secluded place to change out of her nightgown. Unexpectedly, a hand was placed on her shoulder, causing her to turn around reflexively and reach out to pinch the other person's neck.

The moment he turned around and looked up, he found that the person in front of him was Xiao Muchen with white hair again.

The strange thing is that she had no memory of this person in her previous life!

It was impossible for her not to have an impression of a young talent who had achieved the position of Chief Censor and was also the empress's former Northern Gate Scholar.

In her previous life, she was able to memorize the identities and life experiences of all the civil and military officials in the court, as well as the king of the Li Tang royal family. This was why her brothers trained her to be a high-level secret guard.

"How did you know I was here? Are you following me?" Li Linghuan asked.

Xiao Muchen didn't answer her, but his eyes were filled with worry. Seeing the blood stains on her clothes, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you injured? Is it serious?"

Li Linghuan was slightly stunned. Before he could reply, he heard the clatter of footsteps outside the door and a woman's voice shouted, "Go in and search! I just saw him escape into this alley. Search every house and yard!"

Hearing this, Li Linghuan looked towards Xiao Muchen, his lips suddenly curved up, and he reached out to touch his face, smiling, "Mr. Xiao is so beautiful! You care about me so much, are you attracted to this princess?"

"How about we go into the bridal chamber now?"
