Chapter 214: Taking Power

He spoke very straightforwardly, defecting at the beginning and explaining his current situation again.
Zhang Ronghua smiled. This person had already been enlightened. If it was like before, he wouldn’t mind changing someone else. However, if he wanted to work for him, it would depend on his ability. He said in a deep voice,”Qian Wenli is already dead. The Scholar Hall still has some trusted aides.”
Lu Junxiu’s eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with excitement. He had made the right bet. As long as he did this well, he would be able to soar and make those who had looked down on him regret it! He returned all the pain he had suffered in the past. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, “What does Milord want to achieve?”
“Cut the weeds and remove the roots!”
“This subordinate understands!”
He called himself a subordinate and treated himself as Zhang Ronghua’s subordinate. Although it was hard to hear and he lost face, the benefits he got were huge. If he got rid of Qian Wenli, he could pass the test and turn over a new leaf.
He respectfully retreated and stood outside. He looked at the morning sun in the sky and his eyes erupted with unprecedented light. The day he had been waiting for had finally come!
Suppressing his excitement, his gaze turned cold. He immediately dealt with Qian Wenli’s people.
The door closed.
“He can?” Ding Yi asked.
“Don’t underestimate people who climbed up from humble families.”
On second thought, Ding Yi understood. Coming from a poor family, if one wanted to stand out, it would be easy to pass five tests and kill six generals. It would not be too much to cross a single-log bridge with thousands of troops and horses. To be able to enter the Scholar Hall, one would not be able to do it without some ability. Moreover, they had stayed here for such a long time and were clear about the Scholar Hall. It was likely that they had secretly collected evidence of their crimes. If they sent these things to the Supreme Court and were a little more ruthless, they would be able to eliminate the weeds by the roots.
“Those who have reached the top must learn how to use people,” said Zhang Ronghua.”
Thinking of the Beast Language, he asked, “Where can I get a book on Beast Language?
“Hall of Ten Thousand Books!”
“You can get it?”
Ding Yi stood up from his chair.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded and waited for him to leave. He finished the tea in his cup and stood up from his chair. He went out and stood outside. A scholar came out from inside and stopped in front of him. He said respectfully,”Sir, everything has been tidied up. The tables and chairs are all new. Are you satisfied? If he was not satisfied, he would order people to replace him.”
Zhang Ronghua went in to take a look. He waved his hand to signal for them to leave. He stood by the window and looked at the sky outside. “Power is a good thing. No wonder so many people like to climb up!”
Retracting his gaze, he looked at the desk. It was made of red sandalwood and was priceless. Ordinary people might not even have the means to buy it, but now it had become his office desk.
The six treasures of the study room, the chair, and so on were not ordinary items.
An hour later.
Ding Yi returned and commanded the two Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army soldiers to place the two sets of books on the table before letting them leave. He then walked around the hall and smiled.”Brother, your office is not bad. ”
“I was afraid that you would make a mistake in your cultivation, so I chose a palace near the library.”
“Hehe!”
Pointing at these books, Ding Yi said, “I borrowed them from there. I have to return them after reading them.”‘
“Yes.”
“I’ve consumed spirit herbs to cultivate!”
He took out a 400-year-old ginseng from his bosom and sat on the carpet. Then, he assumed a cultivation posture with his five hearts facing the sky. He ate the ginseng and circulated the Supreme Nirvana Life Technique to refine it, nourishing his meridians, body, and soul.
Zhang Ronghua looked around for a while and saw that everything was normal.
As he cultivated, his meridians, body, and soul became stronger and stronger. He could already withstand the spiritual herbs that were older.
Sitting on the chair, he looked at the two sets of books. There were twenty books in each set, and a total of forty books. Each book was three inches thick. The Palace of Ten Thousand Books really had a rich collection. There were even so many books on the language of beasts.
He opened the package and picked up a book to read.
There were many animal languages recorded, including those of common animals. The translation was also very detailed. Some parts were different, but they were roughly the same. The only difference was the pronunciation. For example, cats and birds, one meowed while the other chirped. The former spoke slowly, while the latter spoke quickly. Moreover, it was a series of words. In the eyes of others, even with these books as reference, it was difficult to master.
Even for those who had the talent to speak the language of beasts, it would be very difficult to learn it and would take a lot of time.
But for Zhang Ronghua, there was no such problem.
The book had already explained it very clearly. After trying a few times according to the pronunciation, he roughly understood it and remembered it.
Two hours later.
Ding Yi refined the ginseng, and the medicinal effects nourished his meridians, body, and soul. He recovered a little more and stood up from the ground. Seeing that he was still reading, he did not disturb him and lay down on the chair to rest.
In the afternoon.
He had finished reading all the books on the table and had mastered the beast language. The only difference was his realm. When he reached the level of the sixth realm technique, he would be able to communicate with all the beasts in the world and skillfully imitate their voices.
He got up from his chair and stretched his body. “Get someone to return these books,” Zhang Ronghua said.”
“Brother, have you learned it?” Ding Yi asked in surprise.”
“Elementary mastery.”
“Then let me test you!”
Zhang Ronghua was also very curious about how he tried it.
“Woof woof! ” “What does this mean?” “You’re a dog!”
“No need to translate?”
“Try again!”
“Woof…” Ding Yi reacted. Was there a need to ask such a stupid question? With
a bitter face, he pulled his head together.
Zhang Ronghua explained,” The meaning that animals convey is also very simple. Different sounds have different emotions. In our ears, it’s the same ‘woof woof’ sound. The emotions contained are different, and the meaning expressed is also different.”
Ding Yi shook his head, looking as if he did not know what was going on.
He called over two Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army soldiers and asked them to return these books.
Just as he was about to continue cultivating the Supreme Nirvana Life Technique, Lu Junxiu quickly walked in from outside. He entered the hall and bowed. “Greetings, Milord! ”
Zhang Ronghua took a sip of tea and asked,””How’s it going?”
“The evidence is conclusive. They are all detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. They will be executed three days later and their property will be confiscated!”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua replied. His ability was not bad.
“Work for me in the future.”
“Thank you for your promotion, sir!” “I’ll give you a day off. Come back tomorrow.” “I also heard another piece of news.”
“Speak!”
“Jixia Academy seems to have created a secret technique called the ‘Righteous Bone-Setting Technique’. Evergreen Academy was jealous and couldn’t ask for it, so they petitioned His Majesty to let them share the Righteous Bone-Setting Technique.”
‘Go to the storeroom and get two hundred taels of silver.”
Lu Junxiu was excited and hurriedly thanked him.”
He turned around and left the hall before closing the door.
Zhang Ronghua frowned as he pondered about the Righteousness Setting of Bones. This matter could not be kept a secret. If Jixia Academy wanted to nurture talents, they had to select talented disciples, touch their bones, and then store the Righteousness Qi in their bodies. Even if they were strictly forbidden from spreading it, it was inevitable that it would spread. Changqing Academy must have gotten wind of it, which was why this scene happened.
It wasn’t that he was worried about Ji Xueyan. With her status, Changqing Academy wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for her. Just like what Lu Junxiu had reported, Changqing Academy had pressured Jixia Academy. If they couldn’t get it, they would petition Emperor Xia to make a decision. It was just that he didn’t know how Jixia Academy would respond and if they could preserve their integrity.
He collected his thoughts and asked Purple Cat when he went back at night.
Footsteps sounded as a middle-aged man brought two people over. They were carrying a pile of memorials in their hands as they entered the hall. The middle-aged man asked with a cold face, “Who is Zhang Ronghua?”
“I am!”
“I am Feng Youwei from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. The Pavilion Elders are busy with official matters and have many memorials to deal with. Some of them are too busy. The higher-ups ordered me to send them over for you to provide feasible suggestions.”
“Did Qian Wenli do the same before?” asked Zhang Ronghua.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Place the memorial on the table.”
Feng Youwei asked them to bring the memorial over and said, “Deal with it before the next shift. The higher-ups still have to approve it tomorrow. If you delay the official business, you have to be responsible!”
Seeing that Zhang Ronghua was indifferent, he knew that if he stayed any longer, he would not have a good expression. He flung his sleeves and left with his men..
