Ever since Da Yuan's Emperor Khubilai experienced the pain of losing his kidney, he felt the threat of anomalies even more deeply.
A small Daoist almost took his life.
He had already sent people to investigate that Daoist's identity. That Daoist knew a bit about medicine, could help people with feng shui, and could also make pills.
10 years ago, he bribed Song country's Prime Minister Jia Xiangdao and successfully entered the palace to make pills for the Emperor. Unfortunately, his country was destroyed not long after.
After that, he became a wandering Daoist, wandering around collecting herbs and making pills in an attempt to become an Immortal.
In his recipe for pills, a placenta was an essential ingredient, and he even included things like Virgin Helianthus.
One could imagine, after his medicine cabinet became an anomaly, he ate all the placenta he got.
This guy could take out a placenta from his cabinet every year, so he naturally knew about the mysteries of the drawer. However, his knowledge was limited, so he probably didn't know that it could be changed. He only thought that it was an Immortal teaching him. Whenever he wanted a placenta, the Immortal would secretly send it to him and force him to eat it.
That was the only explanation for why this guy only took a placenta for the past few days. Only when he heard about the mysterious death of a pregnant woman and rumors of vengeful ghosts did he stop.
Knowing that a pregnant woman had lost her placenta, even if he had become an idiot from taking too many pills, he still had to think about the use of the drawer. He realized that it wasn't an Immortal secretly helping him, but the drawer itself.
Then, he heard that Zhao Mengxing's kidney could help him become an Immortal, so he decided to give it a try.
And so, he took the kidney of the West Xia Emperor who was under house arrest in Dadu.
This guy used the Emperor's kidney to make pills, but it was obviously useless. Then, he took Khubilai's kidney, probably just to test the drawer's function.
So, this guy thought, wouldn't it be perfect if he just took the True Dragon's heart? Legends said that Immortals ate dragon liver and phoenix marrow, so if he got some dragon liver and dragon heart, would he be able to ascend?
But he ended up killing himself. Not only did he get himself killed, he also caused the Yellow River to change its course.
After Khubilai personally experienced the dangers of anomalies, he began to cultivate his own containment power.
A secret intelligence department was formed by the loyal men of sacrifice that he had nurtured when he was still a prince. It was named 'Menghewen', which meant eternal truth. It was also known as the Deacon Factory.
Every day, Khubilai personally taught his subordinates. His method of teaching was very simple. He would tell stories. When he was free, he would tell them himself. When he was busy, he would hand them over to his eunuch. That eunuch had heard many stories with him and could help him teach.
These people continued to sneak out of the capital and were sent to various places by Khubilai to search for anomalies.
His current situation was very bad. The rebel army was blocking the country's gate, but there was no good news from Fishing City. Bayan had sent three letters requesting reinforcements to the capital, saying that Fishing City could only be taken with wisdom and not brute force.
However, the decision that Khubilai made could not be taken back so easily. If he allowed the Bayan army to return, the south would become even more unstable. In the eyes of the commoners, whether or not the army retreated, they would think that Dayuan had lost.
Thinking of the horror of his kidney being inexplicably taken away, he was both shocked and angry, and at the same time, excited that there was such a power in the world.
If he could find another item like this, he would definitely be able to break out of this situation.
However, anomalies were not so easy to find. With such a patchwork intelligence organization, finding anomalies was purely a matter of luck.
These foreigners had a shocking amount of power. They investigated all sorts of anomalies, but they didn't find any anomalies. Instead, they found a lot of corruption issues.
Some of the local officials even had close contact with the rebel army. The foreigners didn't find any anomalies, but they did confiscate a lot of property …
Fortunately, they were loyal to Khubilai, so they saved up a lot of money for Khubilai and only used a few spies.
However, loyalty was loyalty, it didn't mean that they were capable.
They were eager to show off. In the beginning, they even used some of what they had learned from Khubilai to test suspicious targets. However, after they did not get any results, they started to take action. If they found anything suspicious, they would use their great power to capture and interrogate them.
They had the power to investigate everything that Khubilai gave them. Even if they were a high-ranking official, they would lose a layer of skin if they entered the prison of Menghe Wuen.
Some of them even bragged that they were seriously ill before, and their ancestor told them to take a concubine in their dreams. After they took a concubine, they got better.
Then, they were captured by the foreigners of Menghe Wuen and asked to hand over their 'ancestor'.
After a round of interrogation, they finally confessed that they were only pretending to be ill to take a concubine.
These kinds of groundless accusations caused the local officials to panic. However, this kind of thorough search where they would rather kill the wrong person than let them go, as long as their luck wasn't too bad, they would eventually run into a ghost.
On this day, in the Yangzhou branch factory, they caught a scholar who looked like an idiot.
This scholar was mentally unstable, and was reciting the Three Character Classic nonstop.
"Why did you catch him? Isn't he just a crazy scholar? "the manager in charge of the Yangzhou branch asked.
His subordinate replied: "Sir Ha Tu, this brat was very sloppy, and kept saying that there was a ghost on the way, so I brought him here. His name is Liu He, and he lives in a large manor outside Yangzhou city. However, he's not a member of the Liu family, he's only a servant of the Liu family "
"Hmph, you're still thinking about the Liu family's money, right? Can't you put in more effort? The higher-ups sent a letter and scolded me. Listen, finding the mystical item is the right thing to do. Only a true mystical item can make His Majesty happy! "Deacon Ha Tu said.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll ask the Liu family to come and get him." After being scolded, the manager didn't dare to say anything else.
However, after a few hours, the foreigners who went to the Liu family to inform them still hadn't returned.
"The subordinates are getting more and more outrageous!" The manager cursed and sent two more people to the Liu manor outside the city.
However, half a day passed, and the second group of people still hadn't returned.
"Eh? Something's not right! "
The manager felt that something was wrong, so he quickly informed Deacon Ha Tu.
When Deacon Ha Tu heard that the two groups of people who went to the Liu manor hadn't returned, he was happy instead of angry. He said excitedly: "Something's wrong! Something's wrong! "
"Sir, what should we do?" The manager asked.
Deacon Ha Tu smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry! What about Liu He? I want to interrogate him personally! "
"As for the Liu manor, send soldiers to surround it first. Don't let anyone escape. If there are any strange movements, report back immediately. "
After passing down the order, he went to Liu He's cell.
He saw that the scholar's clothes were disheveled. After being locked up for a day, he looked sloppy. He was curled up in the corner, shivering. When he saw someone coming, he was so scared that he screamed: "At birth, man's nature is good. Similar in nature, different in habits! Gou … Gou … "
"You …" A manager was about to shout.
Deacon Ha Tu immediately waved his hand to stop him and said softly: "Shh! His Majesty said to observe carefully and work on the minute details. Here, record his every move. "
"Yes! Sir is wise. "The manager quickly took out a charcoal pencil and recorded carefully.
However, the scholar had stopped screaming. He seemed to have realized that the person who came wasn't the person he was afraid of.
He curled up and stared blankly for a while. Suddenly, he cried and laughed. His mouth was muffled, and only words like 'Ling' and 'Young Master' could be heard.
The manager opened the cell door and slowly approached. He squatted down and listened closer.
Before he could hear anything, the scholar suddenly shouted: "Ling 'er, don't!" He suddenly jumped up and pounced on the manager, using his hands and feet to tear him apart. He was extremely ruthless.
While scratching, he was still muttering: "At birth, man's nature is good. Similar in nature, different in habits! Gou … Gou what? "
"Pull him away! Pull him away! "The manager was scratched until his face was covered in blood and said angrily.
His subordinates immediately swarmed forward and pulled the scholar away. They knocked him to the ground and kicked him.
They didn't stop until the scholar groaned and couldn't move.
The manager covered his face with a silk handkerchief and said angrily: "You brat, are you pretending to be crazy? Tell me, what happened in Liujia Village? "
The scholar was groaning on the ground. When he heard this, he wailed: "Dead … Dead … All dead … Old Master and Young Master are dead … Ling 'er is also dead …"
Everyone's expression turned cold. The manager asked: "How did they die?"
However, the scholar was crazy and kept crying. From time to time, he would say that man's nature is good.
The manager asked patiently: "Was it done by ghosts?"
He remembered that in the scholar's crazy ramblings, he had mentioned that there were ghosts.
Unexpectedly, when he mentioned it, the scholar was horrified. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed out of the prison door.
He seemed to have used all his strength, and the factory at the entrance was directly knocked down.
Fortunately, there was an inescapable net in this prison. No matter how hysterical the scholar was, he couldn't escape. After a few steps, he was caught and brought back.
Everyone locked him up and hung him in the prison cell.
"Damn it, you're courting death!" The manager rubbed his chest and shouted angrily.
The scholar was hung there and muttered: "There's a ghost … There's a ghost …"
The manager asked again: "What kind of ghost? How did he kill people?"
"The skulls piled up like a mountain and the blood flowed like a sea of blood." The scholar said in horror.
"What does the blood flowed like a sea of blood mean?" The manager asked.
"Blood … Blood flowed like that … Man's nature is good …" The scholar frowned and said.
"Here it comes again!" The manager's patience finally ran out.
Seeing this, the manager also said angrily: "What a stupid scholar! Even if he's crazy, he still wants to talk about literature. Even if he's stupid, he still wants to talk about it! Hmph, he wants to talk about blood flowing like a river, right? I even know this idiom. His books are in the dog's stomach! "
The manager saw that he couldn't get anything out of the scholar, so he said: "Since there's a ghost, let's go and find out. Let's go! Bring him along. We're going to the Liu family! "
"No! I don't want to go back! I'll die! I'll die! "The scholar suddenly said in horror.
"Yo! How did you hear that so clearly? "The manager sneered.
The scholar still struggled: "Don't go! Don't go! "
The foreigners didn't care whether he was willing or not. They dragged him away.
The manager personally led the team. He took out a curved sword and wiped it with wine. Then, he put on his armor and rode on his horse.
"Let's go! For the Khan! "
