Ying Tiandu, the Patriotic Mansion.

Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo, who had left the court early, was very comfortable lying in the garden basking in the sun.

He knew in his heart that such days were not long in coming, and the rumors of the imperial court's conquest of the western frontier had already leaked out.

And the coach of this expedition is almost certainly himself, and the other generals have done enough over the years.

Judging from Emperor Zhu's balancing power technique, this time he will find a general who has faded out of the court to be the commander.

If the general is not him, who else can Deng Yu be? Over the years, he has been recuperating at home due to health reasons.

Recently, it has just improved a little, and the palace has called him into the palace many times to talk.

"Alas!"

Deng Yu sighed, got up a little tiredly, looked at the spring color in the garden, and suddenly felt a burst of relaxation.

At this time, a steward staggered over, and said to Deng Yu with a slightly flustered face: "Grandpa, something is wrong. ”

"What's the panic? Isn't it just a journey? Deng Yu shook his long sleeves, stretched out his right hand and said, "Bring the holy decree!" ”

Over the years, because of his health, whenever there is a holy decree in the palace, he will directly hand it over to the steward and let him bring it to him.

The steward shook his head with a bitter face: "Grandpa, the holy decree didn't come, it's... It's the little grandfather who has an accident. ”

"Huh? What's wrong with the town? Hearing the steward's words, Deng Yue asked angrily.

"Little... Little grandpa, he... He arrested Xiao Gui! ”

"Who? Xiao Gui? ”

"It's the people over there."

Seeing that the steward pointed to the left, Deng Yuhu said with round eyes: "Han. The dog raised by Li Shanxin, the brother of Guogong? ”

The steward didn't dare to answer, but nodded and didn't answer.

"When? Any idea why? ”

"Grandpa, it was three days ago, it seems to be caused by a spiritual guard."

Hearing this, Deng Yu had a little headache, and he and Han. Although the relationship between the state and the public is not very good, it is not to the extent of tearing the face.

"You send a message to Zhen'er, if you don't suffer a loss, let him let Xiao Gui go, after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog."

When the steward heard this, he replied, and when he saw that Deng Yu had no other instructions, he retreated.

——————

Lingwu Pass, in the Xisi Heavenly Prison of the Spirit Department.

There was a big man in the cell of A, and he was different from the downbeat of the other prisoners, but he had a nonchalant demeanor.

"Xiao Gui! Do you recruit or not? Outside the cell, a spiritual assistant looked at him coldly and asked with some routine.

Xiao Gui stroked his somewhat loose hair, and replied disdainfully: "You are a rankless and tasteless auxiliary guard who is not qualified to judge the official yet." ”

"Huh! Xiao Baihu, do you still think this is Jinyiwei? The guard smiled mockingly and walked towards the cell with his whip.

Seeing that he looked like he was going to beat someone, Xiao Gui did not go too far, but said indifferently: "If you dare to do it, the official promises to kill your whole family after you go out." ”

Hearing this, the auxiliary guard was stunned, and the hand that opened the prison door couldn't help but tremble.

He has reason to worry about this, because the power of a Jinyi Guard's hundred households can be said to be very large, although he is an auxiliary guard, he is not a spirit after all, and he is still within the scope of Jinyiwei's supervision.

Once this Xiao Gui gets out, if he finds false evidence in the future, it is very likely that he will be framed for rebellion, then he is afraid that his family of more than a dozen people will really fall to the ground.

At this time, Xiao Gui saw his scruples, and said a little proudly: "Hehe, scared? Prepare wine and food for the official, maybe the official will not care about you when he is happy. ”

Just as the guard hesitated, another guard walked in from outside.

He glanced at the hesitating auxiliary guards, and then grinned at Xiao Gui in the cell: "Xiao Baihu is so powerful?" Kill the whole family at every turn, and those who don't know think you're a butcher! ”

Looking at the auxiliary guard who spoke, Xiao Gui was stunned for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you Jiang Wu?" ”

"Roar! Xiao Baihu has a good memory, and he still remembers it. ”

"Hmph, aren't you my uncle's dog? Hehe, when did you perfidiously vote for the Spiritual Department? ”

"Haha! Then I have to thank Xiao Baihu for the grace of the whip back then, otherwise I wouldn't be able to become the auxiliary guard of the Spirit Department today. ”

Jiang Wu didn't care about being scolded by Xiao Gui for being a dog, and it didn't matter so much if he wanted to mix well these days.

The hideous whip marks on his face always reminded him that even if he was a dog, he had to find a good master, and if he voted for an arrogant master like the Xiao family, then the end would not be much better.

And he was a good example before, back then, it was just his duty to stop Xiao Gui from breaking into the general's tent, and he was kicked out by General Xiao Shen and whipped him fiercely.

That was when he lost an eye, and afterwards Xiao Shen threw him out of the guard camp like a dead dog.

Fortunately, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, now that the feng shui is in turn, and the Xiao family is targeted by the spirit guard, then he has no chance to avenge the whip.

Xiao Gui's cheeks twitched when he saw this, and he felt a little uncomfortable with the centipede-like whip mark on Jiang Wu's face.

Seeing him pick up the whip in the hand of the auxiliary guard, Xiao Gui subconsciously said with a bluff: "I... I'm Jinyi Wei Baihu, you... How dare you torture me to extract a confession? Can you... Don't mess around! ”

After his commotion, Jiang Wu suddenly regained his senses, threw away the dead whip he caught, and said sarcastically: "Look at your cowardice, our Lord Lingwei has ordered that we will not lynch you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Gui breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid of anything else, he was afraid that these little ghosts would not follow the rules, in case any of them who were not long-eyed really gave him a few blows, and his body would shed his skin if he did not die.

"Haha, you don't dare!" Xiao Gui mistakenly thought that the top was negotiating, so he said proudly: "Do you really think that Lingwei can turn the sky upside down? Behind the officer stood ......"

Seeing his face, Jiang Wu interrupted with a sneer and disdain: "Heh! I don't know what's going on, my family will be concerned about this? If you're really afraid, I won't arrest you in. ”

"Huh?"

"My family Lingwei said that the more powerful the era, the more we must adhere to judicial justice.

Even if you die, you will not be lynched, but will put out a chain of evidence in a dignified manner, and let the law kill you. Jiang Wu said with a fanatical expression on his face.

Although he didn't understand it very well, he would never forget the heroic righteousness that Ye Yu exuded when he said this.

He was deeply shocked by the purity of righteousness, and in this era he was well aware of the energy of the privileged group.

If nothing else, let's just say that there are hundreds of Jinyi and Wei households at present, and there are not hundreds of wrongful cases in their hands, but dozens of them.

Those who entered their brocade guards never came out alive.

At this time, Xiao Gui's face was full of shock, and his dark heart seemed to be illuminated by a strong light, completely breaking through the rules of life he adhered to.

The fear in his heart suddenly overflowed, and the fear of death was revealed in his eyes.

He knows very well how terrible a stunned young man who is not afraid of power is, smuggling spiritual objects can be big or small, and if he encounters a more real person, he may really be sentenced to death.

In addition, he still has the matter of selling murder and assassinating Lingwei, once Ye Yu turns out the evidence, then his death will not be far away.

Thinking of this, Xiao Gui suddenly went crazy and shouted outside the prison: "Quick! Hurry up and go to the garrison to find my uncle General Xiao, who can bring a message to me... Give a thousand Lingyuan. ”

Many people inside and outside the cell were secretly moved when they heard Xiao Gui's shouting, the temptation of a thousand spirit yuan was too great.

With this money, where do you still need to work hard at the border to earn a living? You can go to the bustling Jiangnan to live a stable life.

As the so-called wealth touches people's hearts, birds die for food and people die for money.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wu was immediately shocked, and hurriedly opened the prison door and rushed in to cover Xiao Gui's mouth.

He motioned to his subordinates to find strips of cloth to block Xiao Gui's mouth, and then looked out of the prison with a worried expression.
