Chapter 42: MeLetter
The first person in the Shaojun camp, Jiang Yunpeng......
This name Gu Xi is not unfamiliar, as early as when he went to the Gongfa Mansion, he heard the old man in charge of the mansion say that it is said that he has cultivated ten thousand martial arts, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of body refining.
Also, if he guessed correctly, this Jiang Yunpeng was the reinforcement sent by the imperial court, and it was also the black shadow that followed them for a long time yesterday and finally discussed with Yue Yan on the roof.
"Ginger...... Senior Brother Jiang, why are you here?" As soon as Yue Sanwolf saw that it was Jiang Yunpeng, he immediately put on a smiling face.
"A few days ago, the imperial court sent me, and I heard that there is a connection between the Feng family and the West Bank, so I was specially sent to arrest Feng Liangbo. Jiang Yunpeng's cold voice came from under the silver surface.
"Hey, West Bank!"
At the mention of this name, everyone was shocked.
You must know that this place on the west bank is a thorn in the emperor's heart, and it is a taboo that is forbidden to talk about in the capital.
The battle ten years ago almost wiped out the Lan army, but in the end, it failed to take the West Bank.
"Could it be that the Feng family has something to do with the West Bank, and the emperor is going to make a move on the West Bank?" Yue Qi was stunned for a moment, and then asked carefully.
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yunpeng gave him a cold look.
"Yue Qi, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, how can the major affairs of the court be discussed at will by us?" Yue Yan is also a lesson.
"Yes, Brother Yan. Hearing his cousin's reprimand, Yue Qi bowed his head and said like a deflated ball.
"Qianli Mountain is very long, the wind is cool and thin, even if you walk for a day, you may not be able to get out, we have thousands of miles to chase the murderer, we should be able to catch up soon," Jiang Yunpeng said, looking at Gu Xi with cold eyes, "You lead the way in front, you must catch up with the wind and cold." ”
Since Jiang Yunpeng spoke, the three wolves of Yue did not dare to object, Gu Xi took the wood carving disc in his hand, and followed the fragrance guide to lead everyone towards the direction of Qianli Mountain.
......
At the same time, the capital, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
In the dead of night, the candles flickered.
Jing Dingwu sat in his chair, his brows furrowed, and his deep gaze examined the mountain of news on the table.
Bang, click......
After a while, the fingers of his right hand were lightly clasped on the table, Jing Dingwu closed his eyes, his left hand gently pressed his temple, and he muttered to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the other side of the desk, several people looked at Jing Dingwu with an unhurried appearance, but they didn't even dare to mess around.
"Feng family, Chen family, West Bank ......" Jing Dingwu slowly opened his eyes and said lightly, "This is not to be underestimated!"
Hearing this, the two people sitting opposite each other also looked at each other, and they couldn't grasp the meaning of Jing Dingwu's words for a while, and out of prudence, they chose not to take over the words.
Jing Dingwu smiled and asked: "Two, the matter of fornication between the Feng family and the West Bank is already a certainty, the emperor sent a young military camp to arrest the Feng family as early as seven days ago, I don't know what you think of this Feng family?"
"Holy Wisdom, the West Bank is a disgrace to our Lan country, and communicating with the West Bank is undoubtedly treason, of course, this move is the fault of the Feng family. The one who spoke was a middle-aged literati dressed in white and with a mustache, and there was a sense of grandeur between his eyebrows.
"What Brother Yi said is very true, those bandits on the west bank have plagued my Lan country for more than ten years, and it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans if the Feng family catches fire. The young man sitting next to the middle-aged literati said.
"Indeed, the wolf ambition of the Feng family shows loyalty to the emperor on the surface, but behind the scenes he does some dirty deeds, which is the so-called greed is not enough to swallow elephants. The middle-aged literati nodded.
"That's good!" Jing Dingwu got up and glanced at the two of them, "Both of them are loyal and righteous people who are loyal to the imperial court, for the West Bank, the emperor has endured it for ten years, and it is impossible to endure it for another ten years!"
After speaking, Jing Dingwu suddenly turned around, turned his back to the two, and asked slowly, "I don't know what the two of you think about the Chen family?"
"What!"
The two were stunned for a while, but they didn't know that they were still discussing the West Bank and the Feng family before, but now they changed their words and brought up the old Chen family in the capital, could it be that there is any connection?
"The Chen family is the top force in the Lan country, the head of the family Chen Tianming is the prime minister of the dynasty, the eldest son Chen Bufan used to be one of the four masters of the capital, and the Yanque Tower opened is one of the best in the Lan country, and only the Yue family can compete with the power of the family. Although the middle-aged literati didn't know what Jing Dingwu meant, he still told him sincerely.
"This is a mistake, the Chen family has a strong heritage, and has taken root in the Lan country for nearly a thousand years, the Yue family has just risen in recent years, and the Yue family will not be the opponent of the Chen family. The young man let out a sigh of relief and interrupted the middle-aged literati.
"That's right, Brother Du weighs the pros and cons, and it is fair not to be partial. Jing Dingwu nodded and chuckled.
"Brother Jing, you called the two of us to come in the middle of the night, it won't be just chattering. The middle-aged literati sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and tried to squeeze out a smile.
"The two of you are officials in the court, and you are in important positions, I called you over in the middle of the night, of course, it is not as simple as just talking about family life. Jing Dingwu still had his back to the two.
"Lord Jing, what do you mean?" The young man stared at Jing Dingwu's back, but his right hand sneaked behind his back.
"Of course I want to test you," Jing Dingwu's laughter came out, his face showing hideousness, "Since you don't know the relationship between the Yue family and the imperial court, nor do you know the relationship between Jing Dingwu and Yue Hai, you don't have the news I want in your mouth, and you two don't have to stay longer." ”
As soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed, and Jing Dingwu, who was originally standing behind the desk, suddenly appeared in front of the two, and a surging evil aura hit like a storm.
"You...... You're not Lord Jing!"
Now, how could the two of them not recognize that the person in front of them who had cultivated to a high level was not Jing Dingwu at all.
Before they came, there was no one standing guard in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, originally thinking that Jing Dingwu was going to discuss major matters with them in the middle of the night, for fear that the subordinates would stand guard and leak the news, but who could have thought that this would actually cost their lives.
"That's right," Jing Dingwu said with a cruel smile, "When the two of you have been friends with Jing Dingwu for a long time, I didn't expect that you would not know what he was doing with Yue Hai behind Jing Dingwu!"
"You said that he is so good that the criminal department is still a scholar, he is upright, he is selfless, and it is not good to provoke anyone, but it is to provoke our Chen family. Jing Dingwu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.
"You belong to the Chen family," the middle-aged literati roared, "even if it is the Chen family, if you dare to kill the three important ministers of the court and the central government overnight, you will ...... when it is found out."
Click-
Before the middle-aged literati finished speaking, a crisp sound of bones breaking came out, and the person was silent in an instant.
"How to check, everyone is dead, there is no proof of death," Jing Ding Wuyin smiled, "Besides, I don't just do things for the Chen family, I'm still a person from Yintan Valley, what can the court do to me?"
Boom!
Seeing this scene, the young man in the other seat groped for a dagger from his waist and tried to take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack and kill this person.
However, just as the dagger in his hand was about to stab at Jing Dingwu's door, it stopped abruptly in mid-air, and a huge force seemed to appear in front of him to resist his blow, no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't advance a bit.
"Hmph, if the old man is attacked by you, my cultivation can be regarded as a vain cultivation. Jing Dingwu snorted coldly, and then made a move to break the young man's neck.
Tear pull –
Jing Dingwu stretched out his palm and tore off a piece of human skin mask from his face, revealing an old face as shriveled as tree bark.
"Uncle Mao!"
At the door, a young man dressed in black arrived.
"How's it going, did you find that secret letter?" Mao Yan glanced at the man lightly, said casually, stretched out his hand to summon a flash of fire, and burned the human skin mask in his hand to ashes.
"No, I took my three junior disciples to rummage through the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, but I didn't find it. The young man in black shook his head.
"No?" Mao Yan's face changed slightly, "That letter is written as evidence of the connection between the Chen family and the West Bank, and it is also a hidden transaction between my Yintan Valley and the Chen family, if this handle is revealed to the world, we and the Chen family will both die!"
"Find, look for it again!" Thinking of the consequences of this letter being made public, Mao Yan gritted his teeth and roared angrily.
"Yes!" the black shadow youth replied and hurriedly ran away.
"Yue Hai, you've been checking for more than ten years, and it seems that you've really found something!" Mao Yan lowered his head and muttered to himself.
