Emperor Xiao listened to Zhang Tiandou, the commander of the imperial guard, and told the investigation in these days in detail. This time, it was beyond Zhang Tiandou's expectation. Emperor Xiao was not as angry as last time. He looked at it with anxiety.
Looking at Emperor Xiao, he saw that the most diligent emperor since the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty had a calm face, with no wave of expression on his face. Zhang Tiandou was shocked in his heart and secretly said to your majesty... It became more and more terrifying.
After listening to Zhang Tiandou's words, Emperor Xiao nodded lightly and said: "I understand, you can go down first."
Zhang Tiandou kowtowed and resigned, hunched over and exited the Chengxian Hall. The two young eunuchs at the door bowed and saluted him. Zhang Tiandou had something on his mind and left hurriedly without saying anything. The two young eunuchs looked at each other, both of them a little surprised.
After Zhang Tiandou left, Emperor Xiao put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at the door. A sharp look flashed in his eyes! This was a murderous intention and a sign that he was going to kill someone!
"Come out."
Emperor Xiao said coldly.
A black figure fell lightly from the roof of Chengxian Hall. This person was like a ball of falling cotton wool, falling to the ground without a sound! He was hiding on the beam of this hall. Zhang Tiandou, who was very capable, actually
I didn't notice this person's existence at all!
This man was dressed in black, and even his head and face were wrapped in a black scarf, revealing only a pair of bright, shining eyes. He was not very tall, and looked slightly thin. He was dressed in black clothes and black trousers.
On the left side of the chest is embroidered a roaring unicorn stepping on red clouds!
"Lang Qing, come and see your Majesty."
The man in black knelt down and said.
Emperor Xiao said coldly: "Get up and speak."
Lang Qing, dressed in black, immediately stood up and bowed not far away from the God of Emperor Xiao.
Emperor Xiao asked: "What do you think?"
Lang Qing said in a calm voice: "The people of Qilin Guard have no opinions of their own and will only carry out His Majesty's orders thoroughly!"
Emperor Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "How much do you know about the Longting Guards during the late emperor's time?"
Lang Qing said: "Back to Your Majesty, the late Emperor Qianyu established the Longting Guard in the fifteenth year of his reign. At the beginning, there were only eighteen people in the Longting Guard. These eighteen people were all masters carefully selected from the world, and they had great influence on the ancestors.
The emperor was loyal. In the 16th year of Qianyu, the Longting Guards carried out a mission to the Later Zhou Dynasty. After the success, they withdrew, but lost five people. The late emperor then ordered the leader of the Longting Guards at that time to replenish the personnel. Later, he recruited the imperial guards and the imperial guards.
, a group of thirty-three people were recruited from Jianghu, including the previous fifteen people, a total of forty-eight people."
"In the seventeenth year of Qianyou, all the Longting Guards were dispatched to assassinate Yelu Xiongji, the newly enthroned Emperor of the Liao Kingdom. However, due to lack of preparation and underestimation of the strength of the Liao people, the entire army was almost annihilated. Only the leader of the Longting Guards led the four
One person escaped and came back. All the others died in the battle, and no one was captured."
"After that, Longtingwei disappeared and never appeared again."
Emperor Xiao nodded and asked, "Who is the leader of the Longting Guard?"
Lang Qing said: "Your Majesty, except for the late emperor and the leader of the Longting Guard, no one knows. Even the people of the Longting Guard don't know who their leader is. Not only that, the Longting Guard
None of them even know who their companions are or what their names are! They only have code names and never inform each other of their names!"
Emperor Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he immediately asked: "Now that Long Tingwei has appeared again, if I ask you to investigate, can you find out?"
Lang Qing bowed and said: "Please obey your Majesty's orders!"
Emperor Xiao smiled and said: "Very good, I have formed your Qilin Guard since the day I ascended the throne, and you have never used it until now. You are the sharpest knife in my hand, as long as I point my finger wherever it is, it can be pointed at anyone!"
"
Lang Qing replied: "Then let his head fall to the ground!"
"Go ahead."
Emperor Xiao waved his hand with satisfaction and said: "The sharper the knife, the more it must be hidden on the body. I hid you all in the first place just to take it out to kill people one day. Don't let me down!"
Lang Qing kowtowed several times respectfully, and then disappeared into the hall in a flash.
Emperor Xiao looked at the direction in which Lang Qing disappeared, sneered and said to himself: "Do you want to use me as a spearman? Well, I will let you see the consequences of doing so! Lao Jiu is my brother,
He is the person closest to me. No matter who you are, if you dare to attack him, there will only be one end!"
The dragon has reverse scales, anyone who touches them will die!
After returning home, Pei Hao locked himself in the study for a whole day and night and did not go out. His father knocked on the door for half an hour, but there was no movement from Pei Hao. Everyone in Pei's house panicked.
Just when Mr. Pei was about to have someone break open the door, Pei Hao walked out with a calm look on his face, and the first thing he said was: "I'm hungry!"
These three words were like the sound of nature to his father. He gave the order, and all the servants in the Pei Mansion's back kitchen got busy, and one dish after another was delivered to Pei Hao's room like water. Watching.
His son devoured the food, and Master Pei's smile turned into a sunflower.
After drinking and eating, Pei Hao wrote a memorial, saying that as the chief judge of the prince's rebellion case, he was really not suitable to participate in the investigation of this case. In addition, he had been in poor health for a period of time, and asked the emperor for permission.
He rested for a few days. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xiao smiled faintly after reading the memorial, and then wrote a single word in Zhu's pen. It was accurate!
This made Sima Lu a little confused. He couldn't figure out what Pei Hao was going to do. Did he give up? But this was not Pei Hao's character. He knew Pei Hao best.
A stubborn person who refuses to look back after death has set his sights on a direction and will never look back even if he knows that there is a cliff ahead. However, now that Pei Hao has retreated and escaped, Sima Lu is a little confused.
I really can’t understand that late that night, Sima Lu secretly arrived in front of a large house on Taiping Street in a sedan chair, and then like a thief, he got into the courtyard through the side door.
It took a full two hours before Sima Lu walked out of this big house. However, when he came out, his face did not show any signs of enlightenment, but instead became more solemn. Because he learned a piece of news, Pei Hao
Before delivering the memorial to the emperor, I went to Prince Zhong's Mansion.
However, the big man behind him was very optimistic. After hearing that Pei Hao had written a letter asking for a period of self-cultivation, he burst into laughter and said, "Pei Hao went to Prince Zhong's Mansion first, and after he returned, he locked himself in the study for a day and a night.
Afterwards, he had a big meal, and then he gave His Majesty a break. It can be seen that he did not get much support in Prince Zhong's palace."
The man sneered and said: "Liu Ling is not a fool. Although he did not die at the hands of Long Tingwei, he should have thought about who the Long Tingwei represented behind him! If he doesn't know what is good or bad,
If we investigate further, he will no longer be the extremely intelligent Prince Zhong."
However, although this man was very optimistic, Sima Lu still felt uneasy. Perhaps it was because he knew Pei Hao's personality so well that he was not as optimistic as the big shot behind him.
After returning to the mansion, Sima Lu did what Pei Hao had just done, which was to lock himself in the study. No one was allowed to disturb him. He sat quietly in the study for two hours and was about to go to bed.
During the meeting, Sima Lu suddenly let out a long breath and said to himself: "No matter what the reason is, you will never be able to survive."
Immediately, the man under him, who was holding a sharp long sword without a scabbard, was called into the study.
The man holding the long sword is called Peng Zhan, and he is the most outstanding swordsman of the Peng family's generation. The Five Tigers Cutting Swordsman is famous all over the world. With just these five words, he can travel around the world and no one dares to offend him.
Peng Zhan is the most outstanding among the seventeen young disciples of the Peng family. Since his debut, no less than twenty famous masters in the world have died under his sword.
Give up the technical part and focus on practicing the speed and strength of the knife.
With his unparalleled speed, almost no one in the Peng family could match him. His sword skills had abandoned the excitement and impetuousness, and were simply frightening.
Sima Lu took out a yellow pear wood box from the cabinet, opened it and took out an Dongzhu the size of a baby's fist and threw it to Peng Zhan and said: "I don't want to see Pei Hao anymore, go and kill him."
he."
Peng Zhan stretched out his hand to catch Dongzhu, put it under his nose and smelled it vigorously. He smiled and said: "This man is more than this price. He has a group of dead soldiers under him, so we should not underestimate it."
Sima Lu's eyes suddenly turned cold. He hated Peng Zhan's insatiable greed. Every time he let him kill someone, Sima Lu had to pay a certain price. And these gold and silver jewelry were also Sima Lu's most cherished things! He
Heartbroken! Really heartbroken! But in order to get rid of the hidden danger of Pei Hao, he could only lose money.
"This is half. After you kill Pei Hao, I will give you the other half."
Hearing what Sima Lu said, Peng Zhan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Tell me, when do you want him to die? You said you want him to die at midnight, but I will never let him live for more than one cup of tea."
Sima Lu said: "The sooner the better, I won't have peace of mind until this man dies. In the past, he was in the Ministry of Punishment, carrying the charges for me, and he was on the cusp of the storm, so my life was easier. Now His Majesty has allowed him to rest at home.
, I’m afraid I can’t hide the matter from the Criminal Department. This Pei Hao is really smart. He seems to be scared and retreats, but in fact he wants to push me forward! Since he is no longer useful, there is no need
Don’t keep him any longer.”
Peng Zhan smiled sinisterly and said, "Well, I'll take action tomorrow night and make sure he doesn't live to see the sun rise the next day!"
Sima Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go ahead, don't let him run away."
Peng Zhan took the East Pearl into his arms and said, "When have I ever failed to do something?"
After saying that, he walked out. Looking at Peng Zhan's back as he walked further and further away, Sima Lu clenched his fists fiercely. This Peng Zhan knew too many things and was too greedy. The next one he wanted to kill was
What an idiot! Sima Lu sneered twice, looking at Peng Zhan's back as if he was looking at a dead corpse.
Just as Sima Lu returned to the mansion, a figure that seemed to blend into the night jumped up from a private house not far in front of his mansion and quickly disappeared into the darkness. This person was the shadow guard.
One of the eight hidden stakes placed around Sima Lu Mansion!
Not long after, Liu Ling, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by Zhao Da who came out of the secret passage and told Liu Ling exactly what the shadow guard had learned. Liu Ling rubbed his eyes and laughed softly: "Pushing, forcing, forcing.
I finally forced myself to sit still. Now that the fox’s tail is exposed, I’ll chop it off with a knife.”
Soon after, Ji Chengyun, dressed in black, lurked not far outside Pei's Mansion with eight capable men. At the same time, the Shadow Guards dispatched no less than thirty people to monitor the area within 500 meters of Pei's Mansion.
Get up. As long as there is any disturbance, you can't hide it from those bright eyes! (To be continued)
