Leng Du Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was sitting in the spacious sedan chair at this time, looking up at the top of the sedan chair, fantasizing that this great merit had fallen on him, if he did it himself, the official position could go one step further, and it would not be a problem to enter the province from the Criminal Department.

At this moment, Leng Duyi, who was slightly raising the corners of his mouth, felt the sedan chair violently fall in a trance, waking him up from his beautiful fantasy, and when he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, he was shocked. Seeing a dozen or so masked black-clothed people, holding a sharp sword and slowly surrounding their group, gradually narrowed the encirclement, lying on the ground four of their subordinates, including Xu Yonggui, only five of his subordinates were still struggling to support, Chen Wenyuan's sedan chair was following him, and it was also precarious at this time, I saw a figure standing in a group of black-clothed people at this time took a step into the encirclement, looked at Leng Duyi with sharp eyes, and spit out a few words with cold and murderous intent:

"Hand it over, and spare you from dying."

Leng Duyi stood in front of the sedan chair, gradually calming down from the panic, this is the capital city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, as long as they are delayed for a while, then these people will be direct witnesses to find out who is behind the scenes, how can they give away the credit they just received. He dispelled some fear, raised his eyes to respond to the cold eyes of the man in black, held his head high and said slowly:

"What do you want me to hand over, I don't quite understand."

The man in black sneered after hearing this, and the sword in his hand turned hard, and the cold light flashed, quickly slashing through the neck of Leng Duyi's hand in front of him, and suddenly the blood flowed quickly from the crack in the hand that the person was tightly holding on to the ground, and then from the connection of the floor tiles, like a water canal that extends in all directions.

The man in black didn't look at the person lying on the ground, as if he had just killed a chicken cub, and looked coldly at Leng Duyi, and his deep voice came out of the black cloth covering his face again.

"Lord Leng, do you remember it now? I advise you not to think about delaying time, and if you refuse, I will only kill you all, and then waste some time looking for it. ”

As he spoke, he slowly approached him, and a killing intent gradually seemed to spread around his body.

"Slow, I'll give it to you, if you really killed the second-rank members of the imperial court on the street in Shangjing, you won't be able to escape."

He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the man in black who was gradually approaching, and originally wanted to delay the time by relying on the identity of the court official, but when he saw that the man in black was holding the hilt of the sword tightly and was about to cut off his neck, he was completely afraid, compared to the future, it was more cost-effective to save his life. When his trembling hand first took out the token from his arms and handed it to the man in black, the man in black looked at the token and asked sharply again:

"And the letter."

"Faith, believe in Him, in Him."

Chen Wenyuan was hiding behind his sedan chair at this time, without the order of the boss of the man in black, he was temporarily safe, but he didn't expect to suddenly hear Leng Duyi's words, pointing at himself, his face instantly turned pale and angry changed back and forth, and there were suddenly ten million galloping sheep in his heart and asked his mother.

He knew Leng Duyi's thoughts, because he knew that he had already sent his master to find the South Gate City Guards to transfer troops to protect them, and wanted to use him as bait to delay time, looking at the black-clothed people who were approaching him again and again, Chen Wenyuan didn't want to die, just as he was about to blurt out and tell the truth, he saw that the pair of city guards were coming to the entrance of West Street and were running towards them, so he immediately closed his mouth and pretended to take out the letter from his arms.

The man in black also found the officers and soldiers who rushed to him, quickly snatched the envelope bag in his hand, and just before he ordered to retreat, he seemed to feel something in his hand, and angrily raised the sword in his hand quickly, because of the hasty retreat that saved his life, he almost crossed Chen Wenyuan's neck, and saw that they did not succeed and did not delay, only to see them neatly take out five or six black round things from their arms, light them and throw them around the ground, and suddenly a thick burst of smoke flooded everyone, and after the smoke dissipated, the man in black had already disappeared.

"Come on, help Lord Chen seek medical treatment."

The master took two hundred city guards and walked into the West Street, the master watched Chen Wenyuan's clothes soaked red by the blood coming out of the wound, and suddenly exhaled with palpitations, if something happened to him, his future would be over.

"Master, our soldiers are divided into two ways, you take Lord Chen back to the house to rest, and I will go to face the saint, this matter is urgent, tell your family, he will have a share of the credit."

After Leng Duyi finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to go directly to the direction of the palace, and the excitement was difficult to suppress, he had sent a letter to the prince to reply to the letter, and he was very supportive, and after success, he could get himself into Menxia Province, even if it was the lowest Menxia Provincial official, he was also the superior of the five departments, and with the support of the prince, it was not impossible for him to gradually rise to Shangshu Province and even Ge Lao in the future.

……

East Palace

"Yuyan, take my token and take Leng Duyi and them into the palace, You Tianming don't blame me this time, it's you who toast and don't eat and drink, since you can't be used by me, then disappear, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die."

In the gorgeous room of the East Palace, Prince Nanxu looked outside the palace, and his eyes with sword eyebrows revealed a cold killing intent. The woman standing behind the prince Nanxu was dressed in a green dress and a green skirt, her long hair was flying, like a fairy who walked out of the void scroll, her skin was white and snowy, her nose was straight, and her eyes were as smart as jewels, only to see her bow slightly to the prince and then leave the East Palace with a gentle hum.

Outside the gate of the palace, just as he was about to enter the palace, Leng Duyi saw a shadow gradually approaching him from a distance, and after leaving, Leng Duyi clasped his hands into fists and saluted and said:

"I've seen Miss Yu."

Yu Yan hummed softly, and then asked in a low voice:

"You're all set."

Leng Duyi nodded excitedly, and then walked behind her step by step, Leng Duyi shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his heart, and tried his best to take his eyes off this woman's delicate figure, this is not something he can touch, it is very likely to be the future crown princess, the future queen of Nanzhao.

After a while, Leng Duyi stopped in front of the door of the imperial study, and Yu Yan left early, this is the only way to let Leng Duyi go to the head first, if the prince of the East Palace is directly involved in it, this taste will change, and it will become a partisan dispute, then it will definitely be over in the end, the prince Nanxu is waiting, waiting for his father to announce him, so that he can be justified.

"Your Majesty, Leng Du Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is waiting outside the door, saying that there has been a major discovery in the case of the ambush in Tianyang Mountain."

In the imperial study, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, after the guards reported it, hurriedly re-entered the room and saluted softly. When the emperor heard that there was a breakthrough in the case, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he hurriedly asked him to announce the edict into the room.

"Weichen Leng Du Yi sees my emperor, may my emperor live long live long live!"

Leng Duyi walked in, first of all, he knelt down and bowed, the corners of the emperor's mouth rose slightly, and said gently:

"Leng Aiqing has worked hard, let's talk about it."

Leng Duyi respectfully handed the fold of the situation he had written from his arms to the eunuch, and the eunuch bowed down on the desk, and the emperor slowly unfolded the fold, and his eyes became colder and colder as he saw the end.

"Leng Duyi, do you know what you're doing now? If you don't have conclusive evidence, you can be willing to bear the consequences. ”

After reading the recital, the emperor gently put it on the table, stared at Leng Duyi seriously, and said word by word. Leng Duyi's heart was shocked by this look, and he recalled everything in his mind, and then gritted his teeth and nodded, expressing his willingness to accept all the consequences.

The emperor looked at Leng Duyi's determined expression, nodded slightly, looked at the eunuch next to him, and said coldly:

"Today's court meeting will be canceled, and all the investigators in this case will be sent to the imperial study, as well as the crown prince and the second prince."

After the eunuch respectfully bowed down to receive the order, he quickened his pace and walked out of the room, and after a while, the second prince Nan Yu of the crown prince Nan Xu walked into the imperial study in two steps and one step, both of them saluted the emperor respectfully in unison, and then Chen Wenyuan was the most miserable, the wound that had just been bandaged was re-opened due to the bumps in the road, and the wisps of blood flowed out of the wound on his right shoulder. But Chen Wenyuan still gritted his teeth and bowed, how could Chen Wenyuan easily let go of such a suitable place for performance.

The emperor looked at Chen Wenyuan with a smile, then his expression became cold and serious, turned his head to look at Leng Duyi, and asked him to tell him all the circumstances of the investigation.

After a while, after everyone listened to the investigation, the second prince Nanyu took the lead and hurriedly walked out of the line standing on both sides, came to the middle, bowed and said steadily:

"Father, General You is our Nanzhao God of War, and the glory and wealth are already inexhaustible, there is no need to do this, there must be someone deliberately targeting him."

After the second prince Nan Yu finished speaking, the prince glanced at him sideways and quickly explained:

"Yes! Father, this calligraphy can't explain anything, Nanzhao people are crowded, maybe someone wrote it on behalf of him. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and then asked sharply:

"Then what should be the explanation for the great seal under the great general?"

"Okay, since that's the case, Xuan You Tianming will enter the palace, and bring back this person who can copy the general's calligraphy."

The edict of the Son of Heaven from the imperial study quickly reached You Mansion through the Great Eunuch, You Tianming seemed to have expected this, turned around and solemnly stared at You Qingyun's worried eyes and said:

This is the best result, this time it is just a matter of handing over the military power, no hindrance, the emperor needs a justifiable reason, then I must hand over a ladder to perfectly maintain the image of the Son of Heaven, take good care of your mother, it's okay, You Qingyun watched his father walk into Yu Linwei's sedan chair step by step, and then gradually calmed down, because I believe in myself as a man who stands up to the sky.

"General, please..."

The eunuch smiled at him, didn't speak, and walked straight towards the palace with Yu Linwei.
