"General Duanmu, pirates outside the East China Sea, and how did you get in and out of your base?"

"I don't know, we all take sweat pills before we go on a mission, and we don't know where we are when we wake up. After that, you will be informed of the details of the task by the leader, and then execute. ”

"How many of you are there?"

"About 20,000 people. ”

"Twenty thousand?" Lu Sheng's face changed suddenly, and he took a deep breath, "Fifteen years ago, you were kidnapped with a total of 5,000 people, but you said that they had 20,000?

And I haven't heard of similar cases in any other than Gangbuk-do...... Where's 20,000?"

"It's been fifteen years...... We're going to have a baby......"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Lu Sheng's face no longer knew what expression to show, this is not a joke...... Even, this is a human tragedy. Looking at Fang Ling's calm eyes, Lu Sheng didn't even know what to say to comfort.

"We're the first generation of ronin, and I don't know what that means, but that's what the leader said. When we were thirteen years old, we would be broken by the chiefs and masters. It is then assigned to a partner.

When I was fourteen years old, I gave birth to my first child, and that year, a total of three hundred children were born, and they were called the second generation of ronin. In the intervening decade, I gave birth to five children, and the rest ranged from three to seven. Every child is a different father.

The leader said that this was to ensure the continuity of the bloodline, which I did not understand. So now, there are twenty thousand people in the base, and in addition to our first batch of ronin, there are fifteen thousand of our descendants......"

Lu Sheng listened to this shocking information with a gloomy face, and his heart was full of both raging fire and hunting sadness.

instructed Xuan Tianwei to take good care of Fang Ling, and left the interrogation room to explain the case to Shen Ling.

By this time, the child trafficking case of 15 years ago had really come to light. There is a complete event wish, there is a complete chain of evidence. After Shen Ling saw all this, his mood was extremely heavy.

Although there is anger, it is more of a sadness, a sadness that cannot be undone. Fifteen years, fifteen years have passed. The people who were related to the case back then died and left......

"I'll send everything about the case back to the capital headquarters now!" Shen Ling was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"The headquarters asked us to investigate the whereabouts of the Starstriped Divine Soldier, but we pulled out another case, will it be said by the headquarters that it is an extraneous branch if it is reported like this?"

"Do you think it will?" Shen Ling turned around and smiled, "This case is a continuation of Princess Changling's case......"

"Now that the struggle in the capital is becoming more and more fierce, the emperor is controlling the delicate balance. If this case is reported, Concubine Yu's faction will definitely be hit hard. At that point, the balance may be broken. ”

Lu Sheng stared at Shen Ling's face, and sure enough, he saw Shen Ling's disappearing appearance. Lu Sheng sighed slightly in his heart!

The battle for succession...... Lu Sheng has always tried to avoid getting involved himself. But is it really that easy to avoid? As long as you enter the officialdom, no one can really stay out of it.

Even if Lu Sheng has been out, whoever he is above will be labeled as whom, whether Lu Sheng wants to or not, this label cannot be avoided.

The Sixiang family has always been loyal to the emperor, but it does not mean that they do not have the most suitable candidate in their hearts. Not participating, but that doesn't mean there's no inclination.

Although Shen Ling has been avoiding it, Lu Sheng has already understood that he is inclined to the Five Princes, and as long as he can help the Five Princes, he is happy to do it.

Lu Sheng didn't believe Shen Ling's vision, but he believed in himself more. Fortunately, Lu Sheng's general trend has now become a success, and he will no longer be overwhelmed by the battle in the capital. It's a big deal, Lu Sheng can lead a group of his subordinates to fight the sword world.

However, this is only the worst-case scenario.

Beijing, Tianyu Palace.

Concubine Yu, dressed in a purple palace dress, sat coldly in front of the window, her back was graceful, as enchanting as a willow branch.

Concubine Yu married the prince thirty years ago, and thirty years have passed, but the years seem to have forgotten the number of Concubine Yu. Although she matured, she only became more seductive and charming.

is obviously in his forties, but his face seems to be frozen in his twenties.

Concubine Yu is very strong, and everyone in the palace knows that he is very strong. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and Concubine Yu is loved by thousands of people. Even the queen of the main palace avoided her edge against Concubine Yu.

But Concubine Yu is not the kind of person who relies on the sole favor of the Sacred Heart to empty her eyes, she is very smart, she knows which people to befriend and which people to be hostile. Therefore, for so many years, everyone has known that Concubine Yu is strong, but no one has said that she is arrogant and domineering.

The arrogant and domineering one is Changling!

However, Concubine Yu, who has been strong and not domineering for decades, is domineering for the first time today.

When she got up in the morning to comb her hair, a Gong E accidentally tore off a piece of hair, and she ordered someone to kill the Gong E with a cane. And today, because of some trivial things, there are as many as four palace ladies and eunuchs who were executed by Concubine Yu.

This is an unprecedented rage, but no one knows why Concubine Yu is angry. It was fine before going to bed yesterday, but when I got up in the morning, I had such a big fire inexplicably.

Because of Concubine Yu's consistent strength, although all palaces knew that Tianyu Palace had died early in the morning, four subordinates had died, and no one came to ask. However, how could the news of the harem be hidden from the emperor?

Just after the early dynasty, His Majesty Ji Zheng, the emperor of the Dayu Empire, went straight to the harem Tianyu Palace.

Ji Zheng ascended the throne at the age of forty, and has been cautious and conscientious for 12 years. But no shelf doesn't mean no majesty.

It only took a year for Ji Zheng to calm down the undercurrent and successfully sit on the throne, and his wrist is still very powerful.

And Ji Zheng has been able to favor Yu Guifei alone for 30 years, even if Yu Guifei's face is no longer beautiful and old, she is still favored by her, the biggest reason is that Yu Guifei is not only a beautiful vase, but also a virtuous helper of Ji Zheng.

During that dark and turbulent era, the two not only became husband and wife, but also became close comrades-in-arms who shared life and death together.

"The emperor has arrived—"

The sharp voice of the eunuch pierced Tianyu Palace, and all the palace ladies in Tianyu Palace, the eunuchs spit out a mouthful of turbidity, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to welcome the arrival of the emperor.

If the emperor doesn't come, he will appease Concubine Yu's anger, and none of them will know who will die next. The arrival of the emperor is their life-saving medicine.

It stands to reason that Concubine Yu should get up to greet the emperor, but she still looked out the window unmoved, silently facing the door of the palace, which looked so poignant.

Ji Zheng strode over, his eyes swept over the dormitory, and finally came to Concubine Yu's side, and gently patted Concubine Yu's shoulder, "Concubine Ai, what's wrong? Unhappy early in the morning? Who made you angry and told me, I am angry with you, what's the use of venting anger at those people? Even if you beat them all to death, you can't get this breath out, right?"

"Click-"

A tear fell into the palm of Ji Zheng's hand. It's warm, but it's so distressing.

Ji Zheng's face was slightly stunned, and the smile in the depths of his eyes instantly turned into raging fire.

Since he ascended the throne, how has he ever seen Concubine Yu crying? In those years, when he was in danger of dying at any time, Concubine Yu never let himself shed a single tear. But today, Concubine Yu actually cried?

"Who is it? Who is it that makes Concubine Ai angry?" Ji Zheng turned his head coldly and looked at the three palace ladies who were kneeling in the distance and shivering.

"Don't ask them, the emperor doesn't know anything......"

Concubine Yu's cold voice sounded, and she turned her face to look at Ji Zheng with teary eyes, "Your Majesty...... Are you going to do it to your concubine?"

"What?" Ji Zheng's face was full of shock, and after half a sound, his face instantly turned iron-blue, "Who said that? Who made the rumor? I want to kill him alive!"

"If this is not the case, why would Xuan Tianwei appear in Tongnan Mansion? A thousand Xuan Tianwei secretly entered Jiangbei...... The concubines didn't even know when they came.

Your Majesty, Xuantian Mansion is your direct leader, and they are all your confidants and favorite generals, and their appearance in Tongnan Mansion is not the emperor's order? Isn't it that the emperor wants to do something to his concubines?

All the honors and disgraces of the concubines are tied to the emperor. The emperor wants to move his ministers and concubines, why bother so much. An arbitrary and domineering is enough, and in the harem, no one says it. There is no need to bother so much about sending concubines into the cold palace.

The concubine knew that she was wrong, so she let the concubine be domineering again today, and in the afternoon, the concubine moved to the Fengbo Mansion by herself. ”

Ji Zheng was stunned, his face changed for a long time, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, "Concubine Ai, you misunderstood." Xuantian Mansion was indeed sent by me to Tongnan Mansion, but it was not for you......"

"The concubine's maiden family is in Tongnan Province, and her relatives are also in Tongnan Province...... Nine times out of ten, the property of Tongnan Mansion is also the property of concubines. Although it is not worth a few dollars, it also saves the concubines from consuming the inner treasury. Over the years, the concubines have not spent a tael of silver in the inner treasury. These emperors know, if the emperor repents, he can tell his concubines directly, why don't you say a word?"

"Could it be that the overseas widows are also the maiden family of the concubine?" said Ji Zheng half-jokingly.

"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, where are the Japanese from overseas?"

"Na, this is the latest report document of Xuantian Mansion, you can take a look. As he spoke, Ji Zheng took out the closing report from Shen Lingfei's book.

Concubine Yu took it hesitantly, unfolded it and took a look, and after a while, her face changed suddenly.

"Damn, damn it! 5,000 children, just in a daze, they were trained to become pirates? Who handled this case back then? There was such a big omission, damn it!"

Concubine Yu seems to be really angry, even if she has a strong personality, she is also a strong style and rarely says fierce words. But at this moment, he actually said a lot of damn things in front of the emperor.

"Damn it, fifteen years ago, there were thirty-six people who served as chief officials in Gangbuk Province, and the remaining officials of all sizes were more than 100 people. Fifteen years have passed, and this group of people has either resigned, been transferred, or died.

Just now in the court, I have ordered the cabinet to remove all the officials related to this case from top to bottom. I will dig into it to the end!"

"That'...... Is the case of Xuantian Mansion completed?"

"It's done, but those Japanese have not been found, and all they have left is to find out the whereabouts of the Japanese and help the imperial court to eliminate them in one fell swoop. Ai Concubine, my heart for you, the sun and the moon can be seen, don't be angry?"

"Hmm...... It's the concubine who is messing around......"

"It's okay, it's okay...... I'm a little early today, and I'm still a little tired, so let's rest for a while......"

Hearing this, Concubine Yu's ears were slightly red, "Your Majesty, it's daytime ......"

"Someone, close the window—"
