Chapter 352: The Imperial Court Dispute

readx;? Lu Haoqian led everyone in the Lu family to watch the golden guard escort Lu Yifan gradually drift away, and everyone's faces were full of gloom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Liu Sandao hated it even more, if it weren't for Lu Yifan's previous advice, I was afraid that he would have drawn a knife against Zhao Wuyang just now.

"Master, how is this good? You must try to save Fan'er!" Liu Qingyuan grabbed Lu Haoqian's arm with both hands, pleading bitterly.

"Madame, don't worry, Madame, don't worry!" Although Lu Haoqian's heart was in turmoil, he couldn't show the same panic as Liu Qingyuan at this moment, because he knew the truth that panic is chaos, the more he faced a sudden event, the more he had to keep calm in his heart, "I will definitely try to save Yifan!"

"Lord Lu, what's going on with all this?" Yan Zheng, who got off the carriage just now, looked at Lu Haoqian with a pretended puzzled look, and at this moment, there was a faint trace of concern on his face, "Why did Yan Ze die in front of your door?"

"King Shengxi, thank you for speaking up just now, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that all of us would be on death row in the imperial city now!" Lu Haoqian was busy thanking Yan Zheng at first, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "King Shengxi, I hope you can say a few good words for my family in front of His Majesty the Emperor!

"Don't worry, Lord Lu, I also believe that Lu Gongzi will not do such a thing, and when I go to the court to meet the emperor later, I will definitely advise Your Majesty to be aware of everything and give your Lu family and Lu Gongzi a fair deal!" Yan Zheng nodded with a righteous face and agreed, "Yan Ze, this kid has been arrogant since he was a child, this time he can be regarded as dying from his arrogant and arrogant nature, if Shengdong King and Yan Ze can listen to my advice and not provoke Han Ling'er as soon as possible, I am afraid that he will not end up like this today!"

"There must be a reason for something, and the cause of Yan Ze's death is the top priority!" Lu Haoqian frowned and said, "As long as the real cause of Yan Ze's death can be ascertained, I believe that the truth of this matter will be found out!"

"Lord Lu, if after finding out the cause of death, what if Yan Ze really died at the hands of Lu Gongzi......?

"Fart!" Before Yan Zheng could finish speaking, Liu Sandao, who was already full of grievances, was furious, regardless of Yan Zheng's identity, he actually stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Zheng's nose and slashed his head and face, "If you want to take care of this matter, take care of it, and if you don't care about it, just say it." Don't talk nonsense in front of Lao Tzu, what do you think Yan Ze is? Killing him is like dirtying our own hands!"

"Brother Liu, calm down!" Ji Yuan saw Yan Zheng's gloomy face, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Liu Sandao away, and apologized to Yan Zheng again and again while pushing Liu Sandao, "Brother Liu has a deep relationship with Yifan, so he will not choose what to say, and I hope that Lord Shengxi will not remember the villain, and don't be like him!"

"King Shengxi, don't worry, if this matter is found out that Prince Yan Ze really died at the hands of Yifan, then I, Lu Haoqian, will never shield and appease!" Lu Haoqian swore and promised, "Our Lu family only seeks justice, but we will never dare to do it!"

"I'm relieved to have Lord Lu's words!" Yan Zhengqiang endured the displeasure in his heart, and arched his hand slightly to Lu Haoqian, "You don't have to worry too much, since the incident has happened, then the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, I will enter the court to investigate the situation for you, and as soon as there is news, I will immediately send someone to inform you!"

"The King of the Holy West is very gracious, Lu Haoqian is unforgettable!" Lu Haoqian took Liu Qingyuan and the people of the Lu family to bow to Yan Zheng again and again.

"Hehe, Lord Lu is too polite! I just admire Lord Lu's personality, so I want to make a friend of Lord Lu, as for this matter, even if Lord Lu doesn't ask me, I will definitely not sit idly by!" Yan Zheng jumped into the carriage as he spoke, and then in the grateful eyes of everyone in the Lu family, the carriage quickly chased in the direction of the imperial city.

"Lord Lu, although there is the secret help of the King of the Holy West in this matter, but after all, the deceased is the son of the royal family, and he is also the only grandson of the King of the Holy East, who in the Holy Land does not know that Yan Xi's doting on Yan Ze has already reached the point of no return, in my opinion, even if the emperor is willing to see through this matter, Yan Yi will definitely not let us go, after all, Yan Ze's death is still caused by us!" Ji Yuan looked at Lu Haoqian with a worried face, and there was a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"There are no outsiders here, what do you think but it's okay to say?" Lu Haoqian only felt that he was exhausted, and he was also weak when he spoke.

"Actually, it's very simple, that is, taking advantage of the fact that the catastrophe has not yet arrived, Lord Lu can take the Lu family to escape from Jinling City overnight!" Ji Yuan looked around left and right for a while, and then he stepped forward and whispered to Lu Haoqian, "Lord Lu left Jinling City with his front foot, and we secretly sneaked into the imperial city prison to rescue Yifan with his back foot, and then we will find a place outside the city to meet." Now that the Holy Domain is in an eventful season, the war in the northern Xinjiang is still unsettled, and there are more disasters in the Holy Domain, as long as we can leave Jinling, even if the Emperor has the heart to hunt us down with his current energy, I am afraid that he will not have that spare strength!"

"Good way!" Before Ji Yuan's words fell, Liu Sandao nodded and agreed, "Without further ado, I think I can do it tonight!" Hearing Liu Sandao's words, Xie Yun, Lu Jun, Yin Xi, Liu Meng and others suddenly showed a desire to kill.

"No!" Lu Haoqian bluntly vetoed, "Yifan is innocent, if we escape, then the innocence will become guilty, and even if our Lu family has a thousand mouths, I am afraid that we will not be able to explain this matter!

"Lord Lu, this is ......"

"You don't have to say much! I can't say no, I can't!" Without waiting for Xie Yun and the others to open their mouths to persuade again, Lu Haoqian waved his hand extremely stubbornly, and then turned his head and walked towards the mansion by himself, "After all, you are still young, and sometimes you may not even know if you are taken advantage of! From now on, none of you can act rashly, everything must obey my orders, so as not to cause any more trouble! In this matter, we must wait and see what happens, which is good for Yifan, for the Lu family, and for everyone!"

After that, Lu Haoqian ignored the persuasion of Liu Qingyuan and others, turned around and disappeared into the mansion. Leaving Liu Sandao and the others in a hurry, they all looked annoyed and angry, but they were helpless.

......

In the Golden Hall of the Imperial City, Emperor Yan Chong sat on the throne with an iron face, while the Holy North King Yan Lie, the Holy West King Yan Zheng, and the Holy South King Yan Hao stood aside helplessly, looking at the Holy East King Yan Yan who was lying on Yan Ze's corpse at the moment, crying bitterly and crying with old tears.

"Ze'er, my grandson...... How can you be so ruthless to throw down your grandfather and let the white-haired man of this king send the black-haired man...... Grandson...... "Yan Yi didn't care about his image at the moment, let the white hair be messy and fluffy on his head, and the painful old face was also wiped everywhere with a handful of snot and tears, and his beard was even stained with a little saliva, I saw his slightly rickety body lying tightly on Yan Ze's corpse, and his brocade robe became extremely wrinkled at the moment, it looked like Yan Yi had aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and he had long lost his former radiant appearance, "It's all grandpa's fault...... Grandpa shouldn't have brought you to Jinling City, let alone promised you to marry Han Ling'er...... All the mistakes are grandpa's fault, Ze'er, open your eyes and take another look at grandpa, okay......"

Yan Yi's heart-rending cry provoked a sad atmosphere in the hall, and several internal officials who were standing beside Yan Yi and wanted to help him up couldn't help but shed tears at this moment, while Zhao Wuyang stood upright on the side of the hall with several golden guards, looking at this scene with solemn eyes.

"Grandpa will avenge you, I want the entire Lu family to die well, I want to break Han Ling'er, the culprit, into thousands of pieces......" Yan Yi's sorrow was transformed into endless hatred and anger from his heart, only to see him gritting his teeth and swearing again and again, his whole face was trembling violently, and his eyes were about to turn red.

"I was robbed yesterday, and today I am dead!" Finally, when Yan Yi's cry gradually subsided, Emperor Yan Chong slowly spoke, although his voice was not loud, but his tone was unprecedentedly indifferent, he opened his mouth as if the temperature of the entire Golden Palace had dropped a few points, and everyone invariably turned their jealous eyes on him, "What's wrong with my imperial family? Who of you can talk to this emperor about this series of bad things, what is wrong with our Yan clan?"

In the face of Yan Chong's questioning, none of the people in the Golden Palace dared to answer, everyone trembled and lowered their heads, and no one dared to meet Yan Chong's eyes that wanted to kill.

"Yan Lie, you can tell me!" Yan Chong saw that no one answered, so he simply called his name, "As the King of Shengbei, as the emperor's own brother, you came to tell the emperor what is going on?"

Poof!

Hearing Yan Chong's question, Yan Lie immediately knelt on the ground, and then arched his hand angrily and said, "This is someone who clearly does not take the authority of our royal family in his eyes!"

"Hmph, put it in your eyes, this emperor really wants to know how many people are willing to put my imperial family in the holy realm now?" Yan Chong sneered, obviously he was not satisfied with Yan Lie's answer, he turned his eyes to Yan Hao who was standing behind Yan Lie, and slowly asked, "Yan Hao, tell me!"

"I ......" Yan Hao was cowardly by nature, only to see him trembling and kneeling on the ground, and it took a long time to come up with such a sentence, "I think that yesterday's robbery of relatives and the killing of Yan Ze's grandson today must be inextricably linked, and this matter must be investigated to the end to save face for the royal family!"

"Hmph!" Yan Chong could only scoff at Yan Hao's answer, and he didn't even bother to deal with him.

"Yan Zheng!" Yan Chong finally led the conversation to the King of the Holy West, "What do you mean?"

"Foolish brother, on the contrary, thinks that this is a good opportunity to revive the emperor's prestige!" Yan Zheng thought for a moment before he replied, "Your Majesty has already killed chickens and monkeys before, first beheaded Han Xiao, and then belittled Lu Haoqian, but the rebellion in the Holy Domain still hasn't been alleviated, but some people have intensified, and the trouble has come to Jinling City, openly opposing the imperial power under the nose of the royal family, this is not such a simple thing as not taking the imperial family in your eyes, but ......"

"And what?" Yan Chong raised his eyebrows and asked thoughtfully, "You say bluntly, this emperor forgives you for your innocence!"

"It's that someone is constantly testing our bottom line, maybe it's the ambition of the wolf, and even wants to ......" Yan Zheng's tone suddenly stagnated when he said this, and at the same time, he could clearly feel the increasingly gloomy gaze of everyone in the Golden Palace, "Take our Yan clan and replace the power of the imperial family!"

"Hiss!" As soon as Yan Zheng's words came out, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the Golden Palace. This kind of thing is not something that can be said nonsense, and who knows the stakes in it?

"Hmph!" Yan Chong let out a cold snort again when he heard this, and then he stretched out his hand to point at Yan Zheng, and only after a while did he say with a smile, "After talking for a long time, only the last sentence is not nonsense!"

Yan Zheng pretended to be embarrassed and nodded his head again and again, and at this moment, the other people in the hall were already frightened and didn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty!" Yan Yi raised his head suddenly, his old face full of tears was full of resentment, "I can care about everything else, but Ze'er's death must make the Lu family pay the price!"

"Your Majesty, it's better to investigate this matter clearly, so as not to kill the innocent by mistake!" Yan Zheng said unhurriedly, and he glanced at Yan Yi inadvertently, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"What is innocent? This matter is already very clear, Yan Zheng, do you still want to shield the Lu family?" Yan Yi is now like a mad dog, hating to catch and bite anyone.

"I'm not covering up, after all, this matter is very important, and there is even more rumor in Jinling City, if we don't handle it properly, I'm afraid that it will attract more criticism, which will be even more detrimental to the face of the royal family!" Yan Ze looked righteous.

"The person who died this time is the prince of the royal family, do you think this is a trivial matter?"

"No matter who the dead person is, it's not a trivial matter!" Before Yan Chong's words fell, Emperor Yan Chong said in an orderly manner, "Killing people to pay for their lives is justified!The death of Yan Ze's grandson must be paid for by someone!" As soon as Emperor Yan Chong's words came out, a flash of joy flashed on Yan Chong's face, but before he could thank the Emperor, Yan Chong said again, " But our royal family must not kill innocents indiscriminately, what Yan Zheng said is not unreasonable, the best way to save the face of the royal family is not to kill one by one, but to make the whole world convinced after killing someone!"

"Your Majesty, what about this matter ......"

"Zhao Wuyang!" Without waiting for Yan Ze to ask, Yan Chong commanded loudly, "This matter is up to you to investigate, and you must give this emperor a clear result early tomorrow morning, remember, finding out the cause of Yan Ze's death is the top priority!"

"Yes!" Zhao Wuyang gave his hand.

"By the way, has that Han Ling'er been found?" Yan Chong continued to ask.

"We have basically searched Jinling City, but we have never found any trace of Han Ling'er!" Zhao Wuyang replied, "But today Prince Yan Ze took people to the Lu family, it seems that it was for Han Ling'er's business." At that time, Prince Yan Ze insisted that Han Ling'er was now in the Lu family, so he would have a conflict with the people of the Lu family!"

"Oh?" Yan Chong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Then is Han Ling'er in the Lu family?"

"This ......" Zhao Wuyang's words began to become a little slurred, "We haven't received orders from His Majesty before, so we haven't searched the Lu family yet!"

"Bai Qi!" Yan Chongwen nodded lightly when he heard this, and then he set his eyes on Bai Qi, the commander of the Silver Guard on the other side of the main hall, "This matter will be handed over to you, you will take someone to the Lu family now, if Han Ling'er is really found, then arrest all the Lu family, and those who dare to disobey will be killed!"

"Yes!" Bai Qi happily agreed, and then turned and left the Golden Temple.

"Yan Yi, you don't have to be sad anymore, this emperor will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation of this matter, go down and rest!" Yan Chong waved his hand slightly at Yan Yi and the other three holy kings, and then got up and walked towards the side hall, and when his figure was about to disappear in the golden hall, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he saw Yan Chong thinking for a moment without looking back, and then slowly opened his mouth and said, "Where is this Lu Yifan now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Lu Yifan is now on death row!" replied Zhao Wuyang.

"Oh!" Yan Chong agreed and flashed into the side hall, just when everyone in the golden hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they got up and prepared to leave, Yan Chong, the leader who had already walked away, suddenly came with an order from the side hall.

"Zhao Wuyang, go and bring Lu Yifan to the emperor, the emperor wants to see him in person!"
