Yuan Dingbian, who was kneeling on the ground, the great monk of the late Yuan Infant Period, who had been spanning for hundreds of years, really felt his old age at this moment, and the time spent seemed to be speeding up to catch up with him, draining most of his strength.

Yuan Yunyou's fall was unexpected, and what surprised everyone even more was that he was a dignified Yuanying monk, who didn't even have time to destroy the key information before he died, causing the entire Yuan family to fall into a dead end.

Gan Li, Tao Mingqian and others present looked at the back of this creeping person, knowing that this person was suspected of performing, but they were officials in the same dynasty, fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years, and they had some friendship, and they couldn't help but show a little sadness.

There are talents from generation to generation, and a generation of new people replaces old people.

The Dragon Star Dynasty is about to usher in a new era, the interests of the old era are disintegrating, how many of them are antique-like old ministers, how many of them can survive this jade shattering turmoil safely?

Ling Xiao felt the atmosphere of the scene and was also emotional, but thinking of the innocent and tragic death in Blue Jade City back then, his heart softened for a moment, and turned into a cold blade, raised high, ready at any time, to give the Yuan family a fatal blow.

The atmosphere of the imperial study fell into a long dead silence.

Only the sword-like figure outside the window, standing there like a sculpture, the palpitating sword intent always lingering around the body, making everyone dare not move.

At this tense moment, the transmission was abrupt, and everyone obediently closed their mouths, silently waiting for the sword attendant to bring back the remnants of Yuan Yunyou's natal spirit lamp.

After a long while, it was not clear how long it was, the door of the imperial study opened silently, and a figure shrouded in black robes walked quickly, carrying a lamp that had been extinguished, respectfully placed on the table, and retreated silently.

The sword intent that lingered in the imperial study suddenly became blazing, containing a strong sense of warning.

Shen Meng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and brought the contract jade slip close to the natal spirit lamp.

The light flickered slightly, rekindled for a moment, and then quickly collapsed. Everyone's bodies also shook slightly, even Shen Meng was no exception.

There is a response!

It is indeed Yuan Yunyou's soul mark!

"Yuan family, you deserve to die!"

"Colluding with the Cardinal Sect and murdering important members of the dynasty, Yuan Dingbian, do you really want to rebel against the Yuan family?!"

Everyone at the scene shouted and questioned, and even Gan Li showed an uncertain look, and the wind direction changed so quickly that it was enough to make people look sideways.

This is the way of the world, in the face of ironclad evidence, the Yuan family must not be allowed to quibble!

Ling Xiao took the opportunity to say loudly: "Lord Yuan, if I remember correctly, the fox demon was raging back then, and the Yuan family bore the brunt of it!" Now that only a few decades have passed, the Yuan family has actually joined forces with the fox demon? ”

"Yuan family, do you still have the heart of loyalty, filial piety and shame?!"

"Are you worthy of the Yuan family who died innocently and tragically?"

"In the future, when you come to Jiuquan, how can you see the ancestors of the Yuan family?"

His voice rumbled and echoed in the study, as if the embodiment of justice, by the way, nailed the identity of the fox demon to the head of the Cardinal Sect.

Yuan Dingbian's prostrate figure did not move at all, and he stayed for a while, until Ling Xiao stopped talking, and then he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Yuan clan has a common enmity with the fox demon, and will never be in the same league with the enemy!" ”

The righteousness is strict, and the words are loud!

Yuan Dingbian continued: "The old minister has no way to teach, and it is difficult to escape the blame for such disobedience, I am willing to resign from all official positions and wait for the ancestor to fall!" Yuan Yunyou concealed everyone's alliance with the fox demon, and he had entered the realm of mad demons, and he was innocent of death! The old minister vouched for his life, this matter has nothing to do with the other clansmen of the Yuan family, and I hope that the ancestor and His Majesty will make a judgment! ”

Ling Xiao was about to speak again, but Tao Mingqian shook his head lightly at him, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient.

In front of everyone's eyes, the door of the imperial study slowly opened, and a white-haired old man walked in slowly, bowed slightly to Shen Meng, and then raised his hand to take the jade slip on the case.

"Whether the Yuan family has the intention of rebelling or not, the ancestor and His Majesty have their own holy judgment. Lord Yuan, go with the old slave. ”

The old man said lightly.

Everyone at the scene felt that the old man's words were mixed with a strong sword intent, firmly locked on Yuan Dingbian's body.

Mount Tai collapsed in front of Yuan Dingbian, who remained unchanged, and suddenly trembled.

The sword attendant is always available, and since ancient times, there has been a separate edict, in charge of interrogation and punishment, and even the criminal department cannot be interrogated, that bloody and terrible and mysterious place, even the great monks in the late Yuan Infant period are afraid of fear.

Yuan Dingbian left with the old man.

The atmosphere in the study was no better.

"Lord Ling."

Shen Meng turned to Ling Xiao.

"The fox demon of the Red-clothed Sect has appeared in Gyeonggi, and the dereliction of duty of the Longgi Legion is irrefutable, so you temporarily resign as the commander of the legion, and all the affairs of the legion will be temporarily replaced by Deputy Commander Liang Zhiliang. Wait for everything to come to light, and then ask for it. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ling Xiao bowed down.

"On the Praetorian Guard's side, the garrison of Dragon City needs to be strengthened in the near future to prevent the fox demon from sneaking into the city again to destroy!"

"Master Tao, remove the official positions of all the people of the Yuan clan and wait for the ancestor to fall. Lord He Mao, the Criminal Department also cooperates with the sword guards to interrogate all the Yuan clan members......"

Shen Meng arranged the follow-up work, his tone was unhurried, calm and sophisticated.

Gan Li and the others were all in a hurry.

Remove all the official positions of the Yuan family's children!

In this way, even if the ancestor finally ruled that the Yuan family had no disobedience, the official position would have been taken by others a long time ago, and they could only be given leisure, and the loss of power of the Yuan family could not be avoided!

Coming out of the study.

Ling Xiao stretched, a smile on the corner of his mouth, greeted everyone kindly, and strode away.

Gan Li, He Mao and other officials looked at his back, and their eyes were complicated.

Although Ling Xiao lost his position as commander of the Longji Legion, it was really insignificant compared to the complete loss of power of the Yuan family.

Without further ado, the crowd departed, ready to deal with the coming storm.

The case of collusion with the Cardinal Sect, everyone knows that it can never be just Yuan Yunyou's personal behavior, and it is never only Yuan's involvement.

At least the Gan family is absolutely inseparable.

However, "comrade" Yuan Dingbian has been an official for many years, and I believe that with his character, even if he is imprisoned, he will not "climb and spread rumors" indiscriminately.

Everyone present today, whether innocent or not, can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Ling Xiao did not leave the palace for the first time, waited for a while, and returned to the imperial study.

"Master? There was no movement in the quiet room, presumably she hadn't started to marry yet. Shen Meng said.

The matter of getting married is not trivial, and the Taishi Mansion is not safe, so Ling Xiao directly invited Shen Meng and asked Dong Qingran to go to the retreat room in the palace to retreat, which is the cleanest and will never be disturbed in any way.

"Teacher, do you want the swordsman to protect you?" Shen Meng asked.

"No need, they should protect Your Majesty." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

Out of the palace.

The undercurrent inside Dragon City became more and more violent, and you could see it from the state of the street, everyone seemed to be in a hurry, as if there was a ghost chasing after them.

Ling Xiao went home first, reported his safety to Song Lu, and hurried to the West Corner Archway non-stop to personally arrange the arrest of the Yuan family.
