Chapter Seventy-Five: Caught in a Dead End

Just when Zhao Tingde was about to go to the Divine Judgment Mansion and confess to Leng Manyan.

Leng Manyan just returned to the Shenduan Mansion with Long Xiaofeng, and before the two of them had their buttocks hot, the smart housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion was covered in blood and dying, dragging his last breath and running outside the door of the Shenduan Mansion.

As soon as Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng heard the news, they immediately rushed outside the Divine Broken Mansion.

Helping the housekeeper up from the pool of blood, Leng Manyan asked anxiously, "What's wrong, what's wrong with you?" What about Cho Guoxiang? ”

"Dead ...... Dead, killed...... Homicide...... Extinguish...... Extinguish the mouth ......". The housekeeper said the last sentence intermittently, and he was killed on the spot, outside the Divine Judgment Mansion.

Leng Manyan was startled, and quickly got up, "With a knife, the three of you quickly follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Yes, sir." A knife and three people should be in unison.

quickly dressed up, and together with Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng, he rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the five of them arrived at the Prime Minister's mansion, the scene in front of them instantly stunned the five of them.

In the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Tingde died tragically on the chair with wide eyes, wearing a clean official uniform, but at this time, the official uniform had already been dyed blood red by the blood flowing from his neck.

Leng Manyan looked at the scene in front of her, and she smashed her fist on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily, "Damn, I actually destroyed Zhao Tingde's door, how could this person be so vicious?" ”

"It's over, it's completely over, this case has just opened a breakthrough, and now this clue is all broken, all broken." Long Xiaofeng looked at Zhao Tingde, who died tragically, and cried out impatiently.

As soon as Zhao Tingde died, the breakthrough that had just opened in the Ji family's case was immediately blocked, once again making the Ji family's case fall into a dead end.

When the five of them were still in a trance, the old emperor rushed over with the Praetorian Guards in the palace, and when he saw Zhao Tingde's family who died unexpectedly, his whole face was completely distorted.

"This ...... Who did this? O Prime Minister! The old emperor shouted angrily.

"The emperor calm down, the prime minister has been killed." Leng Manyan said An Wei to rise to the old emperor.

The old emperor immediately sent people up and put away all the corpses of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after the old emperor properly disposed of the corpses of Zhao Tingde and others, Leng Manyan felt that something was wrong, and looked at the old emperor curiously, "Your Majesty, why did you bring troops here?" Did you already know that Zhao Guoxiang's family was assassinated? ”

"Of course I received a tip, what's the matter, does God still want to question me?" The old emperor glared at Leng Manyan angrily.

Leng Manyan hurriedly shook his head.

Long Xiaofeng stepped forward, "Father, we also learned the news, but I didn't expect that my father was faster than we knew, so I was a little surprised, and we can't blame God." ”

"It's okay, the Ji family's case, don't investigate it again! If we continue to investigate like this, we don't know how many innocent people will die tragically. The old emperor suddenly said this.

Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng were stunned at the same time.

The one who wanted to be investigated before was also the old emperor, and now it is the old emperor who is not allowed to investigate, Leng Manyan was a little puzzled, as soon as the old emperor came up, he didn't ask about Zhao Tingde's case first, but asked Leng Manyan not to continue to investigate, could it be that he knew early on that Zhao Tingde would die?

Leng Manyan frowned, thinking secretly in his heart, and after thinking for a while, Leng Manyan turned his eyes to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, the case of the Ji family does not need to be investigated, this minister can understand, then the case of Zhao Guoxiang, the minister still needs to investigate and correct the murderer?" ”

"There's no need for this, I will go to verify and return Zhao Guoxiang's innocence, you don't have to worry about the Ji family's case during this time, I have my own holy judgment." The old emperor directly took back the case of the Ji family and did not let Leng Manyan continue to investigate.

Leng Manyan had to lower his head, quietly.

After collecting the corpses of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old emperor disappeared without a trace with dozens of corpses of Zhao Tingde's family with the Praetorian Guard.

Leng Manyan and the others had no choice but to go back to the Divine Judgment Mansion.

After returning to the Shenduan Mansion, Leng Manyan couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep, and was always confused by the abnormal state of the old emperor before, sitting on the chair in the study, Leng Manyan put his legs on the desk, and looked at Long Xiaofeng who looked down at Qin Huai's jade-like paper, "Do you think that the emperor is very abnormal today!" ”

"Yes! It's not like the father I know anymore, if it were before, my father wouldn't be so hasty. Long Xiaofeng nodded coldly.

"Then this is strange, even you, your own son, think he is strange, let alone me, this thing is strange, no, I have to go to the palace." Leng Manyan said, and propped himself up from the chair.

Long Xiaofeng stopped her, "Father is angry now, if you go with this matter now, you will definitely anger your father." ”

"Then I'll go on something else." Leng Manyan said slyly.

"What are you going to change?" Long Xiaofeng asked.

Leng Manyan's eyes widened, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

An hour later, Leng Manyan and Ao Jinlong appeared in the palace together, since Ao Jinlong came to Qidu and lived in the Shenduan Mansion, he has not gone to Jin to see the old emperor, and in the past two days, Ao Jinlong has been looking for someone to accompany him to play in Qidu.

Leng Manyan found him a good companion, that is, he directly lost him to Bai Xiao.

It was rare to take the opportunity to go into the palace to see the old emperor this time, and Leng Manyan used him as an excuse.

The two entered the palace, Leng Manyan didn't say a word, he took Ao Jinlong to the imperial study together, and when he arrived outside the imperial study, Leng Manyan stopped and said to Ao Jinlong, "After you go in for a while, do me a favor, you have to keep talking to the emperor about things, I want to see what the emperor's reaction is." ”

"What's wrong with you, I didn't want to see the emperor so soon, where do I have so much to say to him now?" Proud Golden Dragon's impatient stall hand.

Leng Manyan shook his head, "No, it's because you haven't seen it that I want you to say it, if you've seen it all, it won't make any sense for you to say it again, you should do me this favor!" All right? ”

"Then you want to promise to marry me?" Aojin took the opportunity to raise the conditions.

"You also know, I am the goddess of yin and yang, where can I marry you, and I will talk about it later, if you want to help me, you can help, if you don't want to help me, it's not difficult for you, you can leave now." Leng Manyan spoke so directly, she didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Ao Jinlong.

Ao Jinlong pulled the corners of his mouth, and walked straight into it with Leng Manyan.

The two entered the imperial study, and the old emperor was sitting behind the imperial desk with a sad face, bowing his head and reading the chapters, Leng Manyan bent down and saluted, "Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"It's God who has come to cut off, I'm in a bad mood now, I don't want to see anyone, you go back! Something will start another day. The old emperor didn't raise his head, looking a little impatient.

"Your Majesty, it is His Royal Highness the Ten Princes of Aolai Country, who wants to come to the court to see the emperor, so Weichen has no choice but to bring him here, he has been in Qidu for more than two days, and it is a bit disrespectful to say that he will not come to the court to see the emperor again." Leng Manyan brought out the Ao Jinlong.

When the old emperor heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

Raising his head and glancing at Ao Jinlong's eyes, the old emperor said coldly, "Are you the envoy sent by Aolai Kingdom this time, the ten princes of Aolai Kingdom, Ao Jinlong?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's the golden dragon." Ao Jinlong replied politely.

The old emperor looked Ao Jinlong up and down a few times, and saw that Ao Jinlong was not only a golden battle qi, but also had an eighth-level battle qi in strength, and then a wave of attention rose in his eyes.

Completely putting down the matter in his hand, the old emperor turned his head to look at Leng Manyan, "God decisive, bring a chair for the ten princes, sit down and talk to me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Leng Manyan responded obediently, walked to the side and brought a chair.

Ao Jinlong took the chair that Leng Manyan moved and sat opposite the old emperor, "Your Majesty, I guess I came here this time, and the emperor should have a general understanding, right?" ”

"Hmmm! I understand, I heard that you are proud to come to the country, and you have also exchanged the city with the Spring Festival Country and the Purple Confusion Country, I am not wrong, right? The old emperor asked Ao Jinlong rhetorically.

Ao Jinlong nodded noncommittally.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as opening the skylight and talking brightly, and the old emperor doesn't want to talk nonsense with Ao Jinlong, so he goes straight to the point, "Then you can talk about it!" What kind of treasure did you bring to the country this time, that you have the confidence to be able to exchange the city from my hands? ”

"I'm not going to hide it, Your Majesty, what I brought this time was a sword." Ao Jinlong replied seriously.

The old emperor looked up and laughed.

After laughing for a while, the old emperor stopped smiling and looked at the proud golden dragon with a gloomy face, "Sword, I have everything in my palace, and this thing is not inferior to yours, this thing is not tempting to me at all!" ”

"In the emperor's palace, is there a sword that is ranked first on the battle sword spectrum?" Ao Jinlong ignored the old emperor's deliberate difficulties and came up with such a reason.

The old emperor's face changed several times, and he fell silent.

In his palace, although there are swords like clouds, in essence, none of his swords can be compared with the twenty divine swords ranked on the battle sword spectrum, which is also a regret in the old emperor's heart.

Ao Jinlong saw that the old emperor was speechless, and he laughed out loud, "It seems that there is not a single sword in the emperor's palace that can be ranked on the battle sword spectrum?" ”

"What's the matter, the sword you brought, can it be ranked on the battle sword spectrum?" The old emperor asked angrily.

"Yes, this sword I brought is ranked eighteenth on the battle sword spectrum, and the emperor is very knowledgeable, so he should know what kind of sword this is, right?" Ao Jinlong nodded yes.
