Chapter 144: The conflict between Ling Yun and Master Lu has escalated
Lingyun went to the Jinling Palace, asking the county lord of Huanyu to return to the mansion, but was harassed by the wayward county lord; He couldn't help but feel cold and sad, and smiled bitterly: "County Lord, in your mind, you have always been the king and I am the minister; The relationship between you and me is always at the bottom of the list, right?
Looking at Ling Yun's gloomy and sad eyes, Huanyu's heart trembled, and she was speechless for a while.
She calmed down her chaotic mind for a while, and said with a little bit of her little daughter's scoundrel: "I don't discuss these things with you, anyway, if you don't kowtow to me to make amends, you don't want me to go back with you!" ”
Ling Yun's eyes became empty and desperate, he took a deep breath, nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I understand......"
He silently walked in front of the prince of Jinling, bowed deeply to the prince, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, Lingyun is a lot of disturbances, and if you are rude, please forgive me." There are still some things in Lingyun's mansion, so I will leave first. ”
After saying that, he slowly raised his head and left the prince of Jinling with a helpless smile; What the smile revealed was a kind of emptiness that had never existed before, and there was no love.
Then he turned around with difficulty, and walked out without looking back.
Seeing Ling Yun walking farther and farther away, it wasn't until his cold and lonely figure completely disappeared from view that Huanyu realized that what he had just done was a bit too much.
At this time, she was ashamed and annoyed, so she was so angry that she beat her chest, and said coquettishly to the prince of Jinling: "Dad, he ...... He actually treated me like this, I don't follow, I don't follow! ……”
The prince of Jinling sighed lightly and said, "Huanyu, this is yours." Since the other party has already confessed his mistakes to you, you should just go down the steps, and you have to spare and spare people! But you shouldn't make such excessive demands, and you don't give up, and you mess around!
"Besides, don't you know what kind of person Ling Yun is? His personality is arrogant, arrogant, and self-respecting - and you humiliate him in front of so many people, and you are too disgraceful to him! ”
Huanyu pursed her lips disapprovingly and said, "I deserve it, who let him treat me like that?" Look at his self-righteous appearance all day long, it makes people angry, I just want to scare his majesty, take measures against his sharpness! ”
The prince of Jinling glanced at his daughter a little speechless and said, "Lingyun's temperament is proud and stubborn, and it is okay for you to take measures against his sharpness; But Huanyu, do everything within your ability, stop in moderation, sometimes you go too far, but it will backfire! ”
Huanyu hooked the corners of her lips and said unconvinced: "What did I do too much?" ”
The prince of Jinling frowned, and sighed: "The words of 'the king is a minister' behind you have already deeply touched his heart......"
Huanyu couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking of his somewhat unscrupulous words under his emotion, and thinking of Ling Yunlin's miserable eyes when he left, Huanyu's heart twitched unconsciously.
The prince of Jinling also sighed helplessly and walked away.
The lord of Huanyu County stood in place, stunned for a long time, and couldn't help crying bitterly......
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs Shangshufu. Suddenly, someone came to report that a male corpse had been found near Xiaojingting outside the city.
After Lu Wenzheng heard the news, he ordered Yang Zhen to take the guards to the scene to investigate.
Yang Zhen received the order and hurriedly brought people to the scene, carefully searching for clues about the location of the accident.
I saw the corpse lying on its back in a pool of blood, and the back of the heart was dripping with blood, and the fatal wound was probably here; Upon further inspection, it was found that the front chest was bruised and swollen, and it was about a palm.
One of the guards suddenly shouted, "Hey, isn't this Li Xuan, the martial artist of the Jinling Palace?" He is very good at light work, and he calls himself 'like a shadow', and he is alive and powerful on weekdays; I didn't expect him to have today! ”
Yang Zhen glared at the guard fiercely, so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.
Yang Zhen ordered someone to carefully investigate some details around the corpse, record them in detail, and finally let the guards carry the corpse back to the house to resume his life.
When Lu Wenzheng heard the report, he and Xu Zhi reviewed the corpse again, and then returned to the study.
Lu Wenzheng's blazing eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Fang said without hurrying: "Talk about your views on this case." ”
Yang Zhen frowned slightly and said: "The subordinates thought that the deceased should have been killed by two people: he was first slapped by the enemy in the chest, and in a panic, he was pierced through the heart from behind by another person; And what hurt him was nothing more than a sharp blade like a sword. ”
Xu said directly: "Li Xuan's martial arts are first-class, especially good at light skills, since he is known as 'shadowy, ghost shadow' or something, the skill of escaping must be extremely high, if you want to kill him, it should not be an easy thing."
"In this way, the person who killed him should have extremely high martial arts, and he is very familiar with him - as Captain Yang said: it should be two people who killed him, when he panicked and wanted to escape, the two masters cooperated with each other, attacked back and forth, blocked all his retreats, and then killed him by surprise."
Lu Wenzheng said: "The question now is: Who killed Li Xuan?" Why did they kill him? Is it cannibalism, murder, or murder? ”
Everyone bowed their heads silently and fell into deep thought.
Lu Wenzheng asked again: "Captain Yang, did you find any other clues when you inspected the scene?" ”
Yang Zhen said: "Yes, these are a few sleeve arrows left at the scene. ”
As he spoke, he ordered the guards who went with him to present a package. When he opened it to check, Lu Wenzheng looked a little familiar, and was about to reach out and take it over to take a closer look, but Yang Zhen hurriedly stopped and said, "My lord, don't move!" These hidden weapons are quenched with poison - you forgot that Commander Ling was injured by them last time! ”
Lu Wenzheng suddenly said: "No wonder I look at this thing so familiarly." That time, Commander Ling was led to the wilderness outside the city, and was ambushed by the Heavenly Owl Organization, did the Hidden Arrow that hurt him and these few come from the hand of one person? ”
Yang Zhen said: "It should be." ”
Lu Wenzheng said: "Captain Yang, you immediately go and get those sleeve arrows and compare them with these ones." ”
Yang Zhen took the order and left. After a moment's turn, he presented the original sleeve arrows, and after careful comparison, everyone compared, and it was really the same.
Lu Wenzheng said: "It seems that it was Li Xuan who hurt people with a secret arrow last time." Captain Yang, do you find any other clues? ”
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "This thing was also discovered from the deceased. As he spoke, he presented an object, but it was a silver glittering, crystal clear silver token.
Lu Wenzheng took it and looked at it carefully, only to see that the back of the token was carved with a blue owl flying with wings spreading; The front is engraved with eight small characters in seal font, "Tianxiao organization, dominate the world"!
Xu Zhi exclaimed: "Silver token? It seems that Li Xuan's guy is really a member of the Tianxiao Organization! ”
Lu Wenzheng repeatedly examined this token symbolizing the identity of the disciple of the Heavenly Owl, his expression was solemn, and he was silent.
Xu Zhi said again: "In the past, Commander Ling suspected that the Li brothers were the spies planted by the Tianxiao Organization in the Jinling Palace, but at that time, there was no evidence and no evidence, and the case could not be filed, and now there is finally evidence. ”
Yang Zhenjian raised his eyebrows and said: "Without further ado, please send someone to the Jinling Palace, and arrest that Li Wu together!" ”
Lu Wenzheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It is more appropriate to go to the Jinling Palace, or to go to the Mansion in person; Because of the details of the Li brothers, the prince of Jinling does not know, and the mansion still needs to explain it carefully to the prince - what does Mr. Xu think? ”
Xu Zhi nodded approvingly and said, "What the adults said is extremely true. Moreover, the students thought that we should bring these secret weapons and silver tokens again as evidence to show the prince; The prince of Jinling is benevolent and wise, and understands the righteousness, and he will definitely support us in capturing the heavenly owl and spies in the future. ”
Lu Wenzheng bowed his head and said: "What Mr. Xu said is very good; Tell to go down, immediately prepare a sedan chair, and go to the Jinling Palace! ”
Xu Zhi and Yang Zhen chatted, and they were about to go out to make arrangements, when a guard outside came in to report: "Lord Qiqi, Commander Ling outside said that there is something important to ask to see you!" ”
Lu Wenzheng's originally calm and peaceful face immediately sank, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly: "He still knows that it's not easy!" ”
It turned out that a few days ago, Ling Yun was forced to go to the Jinling Palace, asking the county lord to return to the mansion, but when he went, he was reluctant and reluctant; When he came back, he was depressed and depressed.
And as soon as he returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, he held back his anger even more, put on a cold face, and didn't say a word, no matter who asked him, he ignored it, as if everyone in the mansion owed him a debt.
Later, Lu Wenzheng finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and at the instigation of Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others, he called Ling Yun to the study and asked him what happened to him in the Jinling Palace?
Ling Yun's eyes were cold, but he lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Seeing Ling Yun's half-dead appearance, Lu Wenzheng could think of it without asking that the reason for the discord in inviting the county lord back to the mansion this time was mostly due to his awkward temperament, so he couldn't help but feel on fire and couldn't help but reprimand him a few words.
Thinking about the difficulties and humiliations that Ling Yun had received when he went to the Jinling Palace, the indescribable resentment and sorrow once again surged into his heart......
He slowly raised his somewhat empty eyes, and said in a resolute tone: "My lord, if you want Ling Yun to do something else, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, Ling Yun will not frown; This is just this one, you want me to go to the Jinling Palace, please go back to the county lord - you just killed me, and Ling Yun definitely didn't dare to obey! ”
Lu Wenzheng was so angry by Ling Yun that he trembled, and pointed at him tremblingly: "Okay, very good!" Ling Yun, now that you are a dignified county master, this government will no longer dare to restrain you; From now on, your affairs will no longer be taken care of! ……”
Ling Yun's body couldn't help but tremble violently, the sorrow in his eyes became more and more solemn, and he smiled dismally: "In this way, Ling Yun has to thank the adults for their life!" ……”
Lu Wenzheng couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Ling Yun actually said such disobedient words without hesitation; Uncontrollable emotion, he raised his palms tremblingly and fell straight towards Ling Yun's face.
