"Since the Lord of the Lan Jing Palace has kept saying that he will act in accordance with the emperor's will, then okay, Lord Ben will let you wait and see it today." Master Li's tone changed.

When Lan Jing heard him say this, her heart couldn't help but sink, thinking that the emperor had really agreed to Lord Li.

Just thinking about it like this, I only heard Lord Li on the other side shouting: "Gao Sheng, take the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor and give it to the Lord of Lanjing Palace to take a look." ”

Gao Sheng had already disguised himself as one of Lord Li's entourage and blended in with the team.

Hearing Lord Li's words, Gao Sheng agreed from the team: "The little one understands." ”

After saying this, Gao Sheng stepped forward and handed over a wooden box to Master Li.

After Lord Li took the wooden box, he turned his head to Lan Jing and said, "Lord Lan Jing, you have to take a closer look, Lord Ben has come at the emperor's behest this time, and this is the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, which is really like the emperor himself." ”

Lan Jing was a little surprised, and asked with some hesitation: "This lord, you asked a house slave to take a wooden box, and said that it was a Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, which is too difficult to win people's trust." ”

When Lord Li heard this, he was not annoyed at all, but just smiled slightly and said, "Lan Jing Palace Master, since you don't believe in this, why don't you wait for the two of you to make a bet?" ”

Lan Jing opened her mouth and asked, "What kind of bet do you want to make with Lan Jing, even if you say it directly, Lan Jing will take it." ”

Lord Li opened his mouth and responded: "Okay, the Lord of the Lan Jing Palace is indeed worthy of being the head of the candle shadow shaking red, judging from the current situation, the Lord of the Lan Jing Palace still does not believe that the wooden box in the hands of the contemptible person contains the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor, so let's gamble on this." ”

When Lan Jing heard this, he said: "How do adults want to gamble, Lan Jing will take it." ”

Master Li smiled slightly; "Actually, it's very simple, since you and I each hold one end, it's better to bet on whether there is a Shang Fang sword given by the saint in this wooden box."

Lan Jing hesitated slightly when she heard this, and felt that the emperor had held a banquet to entertain herself and his disciples a few days ago, and she was very grateful to herself, after all, Candle Shadow Shake Red helped him repel several strong enemies on the emperor's way back to Beijing, and the emperor trusted Candle Shadow Shake Red, so he should not be ruthless to Candle Shadow Shake Red.

With such a thought in her heart, Lan Jing opened her mouth and said, "It's okay, Lord Li, since Lord Li has this intention, then Lan Jing will make a bet with you." It's just that how to calculate the win or lose? ”

When Lord Li heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, so he simply opened his mouth and pointed out his intentions: "If there is no Shang Fang Sword given by the Holy Lord in the wooden box, we will automatically retreat, and from now on, we will never come to disturb the Lan Jing Palace Master and the disciples of the Candle Shadow Shaking Red." However, if the wooden box is really a Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, then we must invite the Lord of the Lan Jing Palace and some of his disciples to be guests at the Yamen of the Criminal Department. ”

When Lan Jing heard this, she opened her eyes and said, "Okay, just follow the adult's agreement." ”

As soon as Lan Jing's words came out, a disciple of the sect behind him spoke to dissuade him: "Lan Jing Palace Master, you can't fall for this person's tricks, what if the other party uses the fake Shang Fang Sword to deceive me and others." ”

Lan Jing looked back and smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter, this palace master can tell the truth of Shang Fang's sword." ”

When Lord Li heard this, he responded: "Okay, since the Lord of the Blue Jing Palace has agreed to this matter, it is expected that as the identity of the Lord of the Red Palace with the shadow of the candle, he has always believed his words and acted fruitfully, and he will never do anything that goes back on his word." The official can also promise the Lord of the Blue Jing Palace, if there is no Shang Fang Sword given by the emperor in this wooden box, then Lord Ben will evacuate all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court who are surrounded by the Candle Shadow Shaking Red Gate, and let the disciples under the Candle Shadow Shake Red Gate enter and exit, what does the Lord of the Blue Jing Palace think of this condition? ”

Lan Jing groaned slightly, and then said: "It sounds fair, but I'm afraid that if the adults lose, what if they refuse to withdraw their troops?" ”

"This will not be the case, this official is in charge of Qiu Cao, and all the prisons in the world are in the hands of this official, and I will never do anything embarrassing to you. At this point, the official can use this black gauze hat on his head to ensure that this matter will never be calculated. Master Li spoke.

"Okay, just do as the adults want." Lan Jing felt in her heart that the emperor would definitely not do such an ungrateful thing, so she also readily agreed.

When Master Li heard this, he turned around and beckoned to Gao Sheng, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "Gao Sheng, you can take out this sword given by the emperor and give it to Miss Li." ”

Gao Sheng said, "Yes, my lord. ”

Then he drove a few steps forward, walked to Lord Li's house, took the wooden box in Lord Li's hand, and walked towards Lan Jing.

Several disciples of the Candle Shadow Shaking Red Sect behind Lan Jing saw that the other party had such a move, so they walked to Lan Jing's side and made a protective appearance.

Lan Jing saw that the disciples under her door had such a move, and she knew that they were afraid that they would be hurt, so she said with a slight snug mouth: "There is no need to be like this, in the public, I don't think I will be able to use knives and guns, and the disciples of my disciples will step back first." ”

The disciples of the candle shadow shook red heard Lan Jing's order, so they agreed in unison: "The subordinates act according to the will of the palace master, and the palace master must be careful. This dog official is only afraid that he is uneasy and kind. ”

Lan Jing nodded to the disciples behind her.

The disciples quietly took a few steps back, but they still put on a formation behind Lan Jing, wanting to use this to deter the people who came, so that they would not dare to act rashly.

Gao Sheng also knew in his heart that the disciples under the Candle Shadow Shaking Red Sect were extremely difficult, not to mention that the power of the Candle Shadow Shaking Red was extremely strong, if he provoked the fire, wouldn't it be a troublesome matter, so he didn't want to be sideways in his heart.

With this thought in his heart, Gao Sheng respectfully held the wooden box handed over by Lord Li, and then walked up to Lan Jing and spoke: "Shang Fang Sword again, please take a look at the Lan Jing Palace Master." ”

Lan Jing bowed slightly, and then said, "No need to be polite, just open the wooden box and take a look." ”

"Yes." Gao Sheng replied, and reached out to open the wooden box.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, everyone only felt that the essence was dazzling, and this sword was actually forged from the essence of the five heroes, and it was a treasure of the world.

At first sight, Lan Jing was unconsciously shocked, and an elderly disciple under the Candle Shadow Shaking Red Sect walked up to Lan Jing and whispered to her: "Lan Jing Palace Master, my subordinates have been fortunate enough to witness this Shang Fang sword, and it looks like the situation is really the one in the palace, but I don't know that this dog official is so begging from the emperor to come over." ”

When Lan Jing heard this, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she whispered to this disciple, "Are you right, it is indeed the emperor's Shang Fang sword." ”

"Palace master, as far as the disciples can see, this sword is really the emperor's Shang Fang sword, and there should be no suspicion." The disciple said in response.

At this time, Master Li opened his mouth and asked: "Lan Jing Palace Lord, this Shang Fang Sword was given by the emperor, I don't know if the Lan Jing Palace Lord has heard it, as soon as the Shang Fang Sword comes out, it will be as if the emperor is there in person." ”

Hearing this, Lan Jing was a little helpless, so she had to kneel down and say: "What your lord said is extremely true, from the current situation, this matter is indeed the case, Lan Jing and his disciples knelt down to meet Shang Fang's sword together. ”

Seeing Lan Jing's move, the disciples behind her who were red by candle shadows also knelt down with her.

Master Li was extremely proud, looking at the situation, although the candle shadow was very powerful, he still didn't dare to fight against Wang Fa.

"Okay, since the Lord of the Lan Jing Palace is loyal to the court and the emperor, and the official is not embarrassed, I will ask the Lord of the Lan Jing Palace and these disciples to go to the official office of the Criminal Department with Lord Ben, and find out whether the disciples of the Candle Shadow Shake Red Sect participated in the hijacking of the Nine Dragons Xiangruiding, and whether the foreign envoys were killed by the disciples of the Candle Shadow Shake Red Sect." Master Li threw out a condition.

At this point, Lan Jing's heart was quite confused, she didn't expect that the emperor really wanted to deal with the candle shadow to shake red, no matter what, there is only one person in the world of the Ming Dynasty is the sky, and now when the son of today has this move in his heart, he handed over the sword of Shang Fang to the official in charge of Qiu Cao, it seems that if she wants to figure out this matter, she really has to go to the yamen of the criminal department, otherwise the more you describe it, the darker it will be, and the emperor's suspicion will be heavier, and it will be more and more bad.

After Lan Jing had such a thought in her heart, she spoke to the adults not far in front of her: "Since the court and the emperor attach so much importance to this matter, and the matter has come to this, then the palace master and the lord will go to the criminal department." ”

Before today, Lord Li was still a little worried that if she disagreed, if Lan Jing made the disciples under her command shake the candle shadow red, she was afraid that the soap officials in the yamen of the criminal department she brought would definitely not be able to fight the other party, if that was the case, even if she could suppress the candle shadow with the help of the Imperial Forest Army, she would lose a lot of face in the officialdom.

This is naturally something that Lord Li does not want to do, and now that he hears that Lan Jing has accepted this matter, Lord Li is not only happy, but also a little refreshed.

"Okay, Miss Lan Jing is really refreshing, in this way, the official will be offended." Master Li replied.

Immediately, Master Li looked around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, come forward and arrest these disciples who are shaking the red candle shadow first, and send them back to the Criminal Department to wait for the arraignment of the official."

Hearing Lord Li's command, his subordinates responded in unison: "Obey your lordship's orders." ”

Of course, the one who was most motivated was the military attaché. When this person heard this, he jumped up and led a pair of men and horses to arrest the disciple who was shaking the red candle shadow.

Seeing this, one of the disciples of the candle shadow shook red hurriedly asked Lan Jing: "Lan Jing Palace Master, whether we will be arrested, or ignore what this dog official said and rise up to resist." ”

Lan Jing naturally understood this truth, so she opened her mouth and said: "Things have come to such a point, you must not act rashly, once you resist, you will be convicted of rebellion, and it will be difficult to shake the candle shadow to wash away the stigma in the future." ”

Hearing this words in Lan Jing's mouth, the disciples of the sect behind him who were shaking red with the shadow of the candle were silent, and they also understood in their hearts that what the palace master of Lan Jing said was right, if the trees did not listen to what Lan Jing said and resisted, they would put on a hat of gathering people to rebel with the candle shadow shaking red, so that even if they jumped into the Yellow River, they couldn't wash it away, even if they wanted to wash away the crime, they were afraid that it would be a particularly difficult thing.

The only way to do this now is to follow the order in Lan Jing's mouth, in order to make the court return the candle shadow to a clean slate in the future.

Lan Jing was expressionless, just stared at the military attache who walked in front of him and said: "This general, I can take care of today's matter when the candle shadow is red, please don't implicate the disciples of the palace master." ”

The military attache didn't expect Lan Jing to say this, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, the military attache turned around and asked Lord Li for instructions: "Lord Li, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not appropriate to be implicated. Since the palace master who shook the red candle had already agreed to go to the lobby of the criminal department for questioning, there was no great need to arrest the children of the disciples under the candle shadow shaking red. ”

Hearing this person's words, Master Li was a little hesitant in his heart, according to Shi Heng's meaning, the disciples of the candle shadow shaking red naturally caught as much as possible.

Seeing that Lord Li's face was embarrassed, the military attache opened his mouth and continued to persuade: "My lord, you shouldn't have forgotten that the prison of the Criminal Department is already overcrowded at the moment, and so many people under the candle shadow shaking red door have been arrested and brought back, I am afraid that there will be a lot of disasters." If the prisoners make trouble in the prison, the responsibility will fall on the adults. ”
