Chapter 14: My Territory, My Decision

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"The general doesn't have to be polite, he is flat, there is something that needs to be verified when General Xuan enters the palace today."

The emperor who was sitting on the dragon collapse first smiled gently, and then asked the eunuch to hand the letter with the general's seal to You Tianming to read, and when he finished reading it, he hurriedly bowed and explained:

"Your Majesty, the head of my seal was reported to the Ministry of Industry a few months ago due to damage, and it was repaired by the Ministry of Industry.

After the people present listened to this translation, everyone in the room had different expressions, the prince squinted his eyes slightly and looked away, the second prince pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and the worst thing was that after Chen Wenyuan heard this, an excited action pulled the wound again, the emperor looked at Leng Duyi coldly, only to see his feet trembling, and rubbing his forehead again and again.

"Yu Linwei commander Wang Zhi saw the emperor, as soon as we arrived in Yucheng, all the people inside were wiped out, and nothing was left in a fire."

At this moment, the leader of Yulin Wei slowly walked into the imperial study, knelt down and saluted the emperor who was collapsing the dragon, and a thick and muffled voice came from the black mask. The emperor sitting on the dragon collapse heard the confirmation of the eunuch who had just graduated from the Ministry of Works, but the general seal had a repair and storage file, and suddenly looked at everyone on the field, sighed, held his forehead and said:

"The general will go back to the house first, and I will give you an innocence when I find out."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he saw You Tianming kneeling on the ground with his fists clenched, and his voice was powerful and powerful:

"Your Majesty, this matter must have arisen because of the ministers, since there is a suspicion, it is not appropriate to hold the military power again."

After speaking, he took out the tiger talisman from his arms, and the emperor looked at him with an unchanged face at this time, and said gently:

"What does the general mean by this, I naturally believe in you, go and help the general up."

As soon as the eunuch walked in front of You Tianming, he stuffed the tiger talisman into the eunuch's hand, said goodbye and left, and the emperor didn't keep it, so he raised his eyes and watched his back gradually disappear from sight.

"Leng Duyi, leave everyone else behind, and retreat!"

After everyone withdrew from the imperial study, the emperor looked at him with cold eyes and spit out a sentence:

"Arrest that lieutenant and ask for the result, if it's just a farce in the end, you don't have to go to court again, this is my last chance for you."

Leng Duyi hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and he also understood that the emperor was giving him one last chance to atone his merits.

"Prince, what should I do now! What's going on with that general's seal, are we being trapped? ”

As soon as Leng Duyi walked out of the imperial study, he came to the East Palace in a hurry, and the prince Nanxu also looked helpless, but his face did not change and said:

"Lord Leng, we did fall into someone else's plot, if the guess is good, it must be the second child, no matter which side wins or loses, he won't lose, I have written down this account. Since your father has given you this opportunity to make up for your merits, then you will be tried in your prison of the Criminal Department, and I will say more good things to you in front of your father,"

Prince Nan Xu patiently comforted Leng Duyi's restless heart, Leng Duyi listened to Nan Xu's words, pondered repeatedly in his heart, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the whole person was a little more energetic, thinking in his heart:

"That's right, the Criminal Department is my territory, I don't have what kind of confession I want, I still have a chance."

After figuring this out, he hurriedly got up to say goodbye to the crown prince Nanxu, and hurriedly walked out of the East Palace.

"Prince, this Leng Du Yi is not good, he panics when he encounters something, and it is difficult to achieve great things."

Just after Leng Duyi left, Yu Yan slowly walked out from behind the curtain, stood beside Nan Xu and whispered, Nan Xu, who was standing still, sighed and said helplessly:

"I don't blame him, I'm also anxious this time, if I mess up again this time, and I don't give the result that my father wants, let alone adding an official to the knighthood, I'm afraid my life will not be guaranteed."

At this time, a smell of intrigue and intrigue permeated the entire palace, and all kinds of people with evil intentions were competing with each other, and the chief eunuch at this time accompanied the emperor in the imperial garden, only to see him sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling contemptuously, and then bowing to the chief eunuch behind him and asked:

"Guess what the result of Leng Duyi will come out?"

The eunuch replied with trepidation:

"Back to Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know."

The Emperor chuckled, and then said more and more excitedly:

"You don't know, or don't dare to say it! I'm angry that the prince was so negligent before doing things, and then it's a mess, and I want Lao Tzu to finish it up for him, stupid. ”

The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and comforted:

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body."

……

In the other corner of the palace, at this time, the second prince Nan Yu and the gloomy prince don't need to, they are leisurely tasting the freshly brewed tea with the princess, Nan Yu took a sip of the teacup and asked with a smile:

"You say, which of the two sides will win?"

The princess opened the corners of her mouth, but did not answer his question directly, but said:

"No matter who wins, in the end, it's not you who wins."

Nan Yu smiled again after hearing this, today's mood is particularly comfortable, it is indeed as the princess said, no matter how fierce they fight, the winner in the end is still himself, I saw him look out the window with a contemptuous smile and said:

"I'm afraid the prince will lose the arm of Leng Duyi, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, this time."

After hearing this, the princess immediately asked curiously:

"Why isn't the general's crime confirmed?"

Nan Yu recalled his father's behavior, and replied with a little chill and a little awe:

"My father's original intention was just to take back the military power on the premise of maintaining his own image, even if the god of war of Nanzhao committed such a big crime, if there is no substantial evidence, my father will not condemn him openly, not to mention a confused account at this time, he will not trust anyone."

"I heard that Fujun seems to have a good relationship with You Tianming's second son, You Qingyun? If it doesn't develop like the husband's thoughts, what should the husband do? ”

The princess asked as she picked up her teacup and pursed her seductive lips.

"If that's the case, for the sake of the relationship with Qingyun, I will leave a seed for their You family."

……

The prison of the Criminal Department

Walking into the cell, you can see that this place is one-third larger than the overall prison of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, but the environment is still better than there, after all, the people here are all corrupt officials and corrupt officials with status, and Leng Duyi doesn't want to easily offend their network. And today's Lord Leng seems to have changed a person, manic with a chill, since the prisoner was arrested in the interrogation room for a day, he personally interrogated the prisoner, and the screams after the execution often came out.

"Li Yuan, I hope you can understand, this is the prison of the Criminal Department, no one can save you if you come in, this time I was arrested and interrogated by the emperor's order, your general is now difficult to protect himself, I advise you to confess honestly."

was tied up by Leng Duyi on a cross solid wooden shelf, the white prison clothes were bloodstained by Leng Duyi's subordinates, the unkempt Li Yuan pretended to raise his head and asked him to get closer to tell him something, who knew that all he could get was a mouthful of blood, but there was no trace of fear on his resolute face, and he kept laughing at Leng Duyi.

"Bring the whip..."

Immediately, Leng Du Yiqi's seven orifices smoked, turned his head sideways and shouted angrily at his subordinates, took the whip and swung it with all his strength more than a dozen times, and Li Yuan's blood splashed non-stop, until Leng Du Yiqi's tired kick and shhhh

"Lord Leng, I hope you remember today's moment, and don't let me get out alive."

Li Yuan spoke in a weak voice, but he was still listened to by Leng Duyi word by word, and the whole person seemed to be stimulated, and he was whipped more than ten times in a row with red eyes, before he dropped the whip and sat back on the chair, holding his forehead and thinking.

My lord, it seems that the execution will not do much for him! Why not do you do it another way?

At this time, the jailer stepped forward and said respectfully, maybe he was also tired, so he made a suggestion not to beat people to make himself easier, but he didn't expect this to remind Leng Duyi, I saw his eyes brighten, and asked him excitedly:

"Does he have a sister?"

"My lord, this... The emperor's order has not been given, it is not in accordance with the law! ”

The jailer suddenly tried to dissuade Leng Duyi, who was almost crazy, but who knew that it was his angry roar:

"This is Lao Tzu's territory, I can do whatever I want, if I can't be killed, he would have died a hundred times, arrest his sister, do what I say, and I will bear all the consequences."

The jailer trembled with fright from his roar, and no longer dared to refute, and hurriedly went out to convey the order.

"Leng Duyi, you don't have to die well, you won't end well."

Li Yuan heard that Leng Duyi hit his own sister with attention, the brother and sister who were orphans had a very good relationship, he knew that Leng Duyi would definitely let him go to the emperor in order to confess, so he was still safe at present, even if he died, it didn't matter, but he must not affect his sister, on the one hand, he was a general who was born and died with himself, and on the other hand, he was a relative, so that Li Yuan was like an ant on a hot pot, at a loss.

"Brother... Brother..."

"Promise them that the general will keep me safe."

It didn't take long for a pitiful voice to come from outside the interrogation room, first crying, then pounced on Li Yuan, and then quickly whispered a word, which made his heart slowly relax.

"Lord Leng, I promise you, but you have to promise me a request, I will release my sister after I die, so that she will not be bullied for the rest of her life."

Looking at the person who was still looking at death just now, he was kneaded and surrendered under him in a blink of an eye, Leng Duyi, who heard this, laughed madly as if he had a chance to win, and replied triumphantly:

"Don't worry about this, I am the secretary of the second-grade criminal department, it is easy to protect a civilian, then sign and draw the fingerprint now, and when we go to the emperor to finish the confession again, I will do what you wish."
