Five warriors of the same realm walked towards him, and one of them sneered: "Obediently tie your hands and capture, you have no room to resist;"

"I'm really chasing that thief;" Lu Ling explained as he stared at the back in the sky without anger, and at the same time he remembered this person.

"Take away;" the figure spoke again, not listening to his argument at all.

"I said boy, just go to the heavenly prison and sit down, if you are really wronged, you can come out soon, there is no need to resist, you have to be clear, once you do it, even if you find out that you are wronged, it will be difficult for you to get out of prison;"

The same Spirit Emperor spoke, this time a man behind him, a kind-eyed old man with gray hair and wrinkled skin, who looked at his gaze and always felt like he was smiling at him.

"What the old man said seems to be reasonable;"

Lu Ling thought about it, there was really no need to resist, his origins, including his recent deeds, could be found very clearly, it was indeed impossible for these people to wronged him, and Princess Qingxia would definitely help him.

But if he does it, the nature is different.

"Okay, I don't resist, I just hope you can return my innocence quickly;" Lu Ling compromised, put away his weapon, and his spiritual power stopped.

Several people quickly restrained him, and they didn't feel too embarrassed, but only restricted his activities, and he felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

"Boom;"

With a loud bang, the giant hand in the sky dissipated, and at the same time, everyone was light, and at the same time, Lu Ling also saw that many buildings in the entire palace collapsed a lot in an instant as if they had been hit by a huge force at this moment.

Just when he was still shocked, in his eyes, several people in gray and white robes quickly crossed the guards who surrounded him, walked like the wind, held halberds, and came to him without hindrance, while the rest of the guards retreated to the side.

"You're the one who claims to be chasing the thieves?"

Several people looked at Lu Ling coldly and asked with expressionless expressions.

"Yes~It's me~"

Lu Ling said suspiciously, this posture made him a little confused about what was going on, how to fix it he was like that criminal.

At the same time, he noticed that several people had a sign hanging on their waists, and the golden word "prison" was particularly conspicuous, and these people were the prison guards in the palace who guarded the prison.

"Very well, you're arrested, come with us;"

The first person said with a cold face, and said, two people behind him stepped forward, one left and one right, and actually set him up to start and go out, and the start was quite heavy, this posture was very unfriendly.

"Wait a minute, what crime did you arrest me, I said that I was from the princess's mansion, and I was really chasing that thief just now;"

Lu Ling shouted with a little anger.

The first man laughed: "Is it as you said, when you enter the prison, someone will find out, and it really has nothing to do with you, then you don't have to worry at all;"

"Look, this is an imperial arrest warrant, with the division of soldiers and the division of punishment, if you resist arrest, we are also very welcome, because then we can save a lot of trouble, and you will be killed on the spot;"

"What, is it so efficient?

Lu Ling looked at the piece of paper in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes, the red medals on it and his name were all there, this work efficiency was very good;

"Brother Prison Guard, I am really wronged, and I am still acquaintances with Princess Qingxia, and I also have some dealings with His Royal Highness the Prince, I hope you can seriously stay innocent in the next one, otherwise everyone may not have a good time at that time;"

Lu Ling's words stunned everyone around, the air suddenly became quiet, and the three old men in the sky who had not left all turned their eyes to him again.

The strength of several prison guards who were holding him also relaxed a lot, and Lu Ling saw that the prison guard in the lead nodded at him seriously, so he followed them with confidence and strode away, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.

He can't help it, a place like a prison cell, as soon as he hears it, he knows that it is not a good place to go, and depending on the attitude of these people, if he does not take advantage of the situation, it is estimated that it will not be easy to get in, and it will be even more difficult to get a good result.

Not long after Lu Ling was taken into the prison, the thieves broke into the palace and escaped.

The entire imperial capital was in an uproar, and the news was still irrepressibly spreading to other counties, how many years, since this powerful emperor came to the throne in the Ziyang Empire, for more than a hundred years, no such thing has happened, but this time someone actually slapped the entire empire in the face.

Until now, the empire didn't even know who the thief was, and this incident caused an unexpected huge shock, as well as extreme... Wrath.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, bells and drums rang in unison, and the sound of whining resounded throughout the court.

Rare on weekdays, high-ranking officials and dignitaries frequently walk in the palace, today gathered in the main hall, wide, tall, majestic, splendid hall is quietly full of hundreds of ministers, left and right, all the generals and marshals of all parties have gathered.

The crowd of people argued very fiercely, and no one in the outside world knew what was discussed at this court meeting, saying that the emperor had issued a gag order, but they all knew that the ministers had heavy faces when they walked out of the hall, and some of them looked extremely angry.

This kind of thing lasted for a total of three days, and the common people only knew that in the imperial capital, many of the children of the big families who loved to fool around on weekdays, and even bullied men and women, disappeared, and they were strictly restrained by their own parents.

They also felt the tense atmosphere of the entire empire, the daily patrol team inside and outside the imperial capital city increased several times, and the imperial capital and even the entire empire, an undercurrent was surging at an accelerated pace.

On the fourth day, the butcher's knife fell.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, after the criminal division, the military division, and the intelligence of all parties in the empire were summarized, it was concluded that the person who made trouble in the palace five days ago was named White Wolf, who was an internal member of the Wu League, and the Wu League's move was full of provocation, and the emperor strictly ordered that all the shops and main personnel related to the Wu League should be sealed throughout the empire, and in case of resistance ~ no forgiveness ~ no forgiveness ~ no forgiveness ~"

An imperial decree was passed on to all directions, and bloody scenes were constantly staged in this land, and the Ziyang Empire did not mention that the Wumeng would hand over the murderer, it was directly solved by force, and the members of the Wumeng were ruthlessly harvested piece by piece by the butcher knife before they could understand what was happening.

To say that the power of the Wumeng is not small in the Ziyang Empire, but unfortunately it is too scattered, only some areas can join forces to deal with it in time, and more are killed, and there are very few people who are caught, obviously the purpose of the Ziyang Empire is not to arrest people, and this time it is obviously provoked.

The strange thing is that in the time that followed, the Wu Alliance did not choose to resist fiercely in this matter, but turned the members of the Ziyang Empire into the shadows as much as possible, and there was really no way to hide and directly withdraw from the territory of the Ziyang Empire.

This made the people of the Ziyang Empire feel even more that this matter was done by the Wumeng, but the high-level knew the true intention of this operation, the Ziyang Empire held the Hidden Dragon Competition some time ago, and several forces such as the Wumeng and Qinglongmen actually joined forces to disrupt the situation.

This hand, taking the Wu League, is just to warn those forces, and it is also because the power of the Wu League has developed too fast in the empire in recent decades, so it took the opportunity to cut it off, after all, it will be hostile sooner or later in the future, so it can be regarded as a peace of mind for the empire.

And Lu Ling, who was in the deep prison, naturally didn't know all this, since the moment he was imprisoned, no one had come to look for him again, let alone encountered anything to embarrass him.

Lord Pang Ying and Princess Qingxia didn't know about this situation, and their hands couldn't penetrate into the prison, so in order to intercede for Lu Ling, the two said a lot of good things to their respective elders, and Pang Ying even didn't hesitate to ask her grandfather, that is, Pang Yuan, who was the right minister, to come forward to protect it.

The right minister was particularly fond of Pang Ying, so he spoke, and the faction led by him naturally strongly supported it, while the other faction naturally strongly opposed it, among which the left minister and the Chen family and his party bluntly said that Lu Ling must be executed, and Lu Ling's incident set off a dispute between the court.

In the main hall, the emperor of the empire was high above and listened to the discussion between the two ministers below.

"Holy Lord, the outer thief is hateful, and the inner thief is even more killable;"

The person who spoke was Chen He, he was Chen Yansheng's father, if Lu Ling was here, he would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance by looking at his back, this person was the first Spirit Emperor Realm martial artist to say that he was going to arrest him that day, and he didn't even change his clothes in the slightest.

His words were appreciated by an old man in the front, who seemed to be in his sixties, with a slightly withered face and an indifferent expression, wearing a purple-gold robe and a round white jade plaque hanging from his waist.

He is the left minister of the empire, Lin Hai, Lin Hai nodded to Chen He with a smile on his face, which made Chen He extremely excited.

Naturally, the right minister will not admit defeat like this, and immediately one person also stood up, this person is called Zhao Juan, and he is a real power figure on the right side of the prime minister.

Zhao Juan said: "Qi Song Sheng, Lu Ling is just a nineteen-year-old boy, a genius like him has the heart to serve the country;"

"After investigation, he did not have the slightest sign of joining the thief that day, before the movement became a big noise, judging from the traces of the scene, he had a fierce fight with the thief, so if he was convicted by virtue of Lord Chen's casual words, wouldn't it chill the hearts of young people in the world, please enlighten the saints;"

Zhao Juan's words not only represent himself, but also represent the real thoughts in the hearts of the ministers on the right side, besides, at this time, it is not only Lu Ling's business, but also the struggle for power between the two factions.

The whole hall was silent, and there was a group of people who didn't make a sound from beginning to end, they just stood there quietly, they belonged to the neutral faction.

Pang Yuan stood at the forefront, watching this scene, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and his eyes swam back and forth between the left minister and the person led by the neutral faction.

"If this guy Qiu Peng is willing to stand up and say a fair word, the left side will definitely be defeated again, but unfortunately, this guy is still too conservative;"

At the same time, he was not worried that he would not be able to overpower Zuo Xiang, because this matter was doomed to victory from the beginning.
