Lu Gang, the governor of Yulingwei, looked ugly. He looked ugly because he felt uncomfortable. Right under his nose, a felon was kidnapped.
Although Princess Xie Yatan is actually nothing to worry about, such a thing will definitely arouse the emperor's anger.
Part of the reason for his anger was that he suspected that the person who robbed Xie Yatan was arranged by Tuoba Lie.
As luck would have it, at that moment Tuoba Lie said he felt a little unwell and wanted to go out for a walk.
If Tuoba Lie was present, how could the swordsman escape safely from Lu Gang and Tuoba Lie with his strength?
Lu Gang even suspected that Tuoba Lie's departure was a signal.
If he doesn't leave the palace, the swordsman won't take action.
Thinking of this, Lu Gang looked at Tuoba Lie, and saw that Tuoba Lie seemed to be very angry that the person was gone.
"General..."
Just when Lu Gang was about to say three words, Tuoba Lie was the first to attack.
"Is this the first time that you Yu Lingwei have done something? Why can a murderer approach the palace, but the people on guard outside don't even react at all? Is Yu Lingwei worthy of His Majesty's favor by doing things like this?"
These words stunned Lu Gang.
For a moment, Lu Gang didn't know how to answer.
At least what Tuoba Lie said was right, those on guard outside were also members of the Yuling Guards. Except for a group of personal soldiers brought by Tuoba Lie, both inside and outside Chengjun Prince's Palace were all members of their Yuling Guards.
The elite armor in the city is the team of Yu Lingwei, a red ribbon army affiliated with the Investigation Department. The streets nearby are heavily guarded, but someone sneaks up on them without noticing.
For him to tell the truth about this kind of thing is because he, the leader of the Ling Guard, has failed in his duty.
"The general's lesson is right."
Lu Gang leaned over and said: "This matter will be investigated strictly by the humble office. If someone is really slacking off and neglecting his duty, the humble office will not be lenient."
Tuoba Lie said with a livid face: "This is the matter of your Yuling Guards. Whether it is a matter of neglect or negligence, or if someone did it deliberately, it has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain it to me. You need to explain it to His Majesty."
Lu Gang cursed a few words in his heart, but his face became more humble: "Those who are in humble positions should be punished if they are not strict."
Tuoba Lie said: "It's better to catch the person as soon as possible. Before the case is concluded, everyone will be happy if the person can be caught. If not, you and I will be punished by Your Majesty."
Lu Gang leaned over: "I have arranged for people to go and investigate. Someone saw that the person took Xie Yatan out of the North City Gate. Can the general give an order to check the checkpoints in various places?"
Before he finished speaking, Tuoba Lie said: "I have sent people back and will conduct a strict investigation."
Lu Gang said quickly: "Thank you, General, for your help."
Half an hour later, several sword commanders stood in front of Lu Gang, all of them were so frightened that they did not even dare to express their anger.
Lu Gang stood in front of his desk and painted. He loved painting lotus flowers the most. Many people know this.
"How do people get close?"
he asked, staring at the drawing paper.
Several sword commanders leaned over at the same time, and one of them replied: "My lord, it is true...it is true that I was not aware of it, and I plead guilty to my humble position."
Several other people also lowered their heads and said: "I don't dare to quibble when I'm in a humble position. I plead guilty when I'm in a humble position."
"Confess?"
Lu Gang raised his head and glanced at them.
"I remember I said that Yu Lingwei has three divisions, but the one who supports Yu Lingwei's dignity has always been the Investigation Department."
"Inside and outside the palace, the Investigation Department has mobilized thousands of people. Who among you told me that not even a bird can fly over?"
The sword commander who spoke first knelt down and said, "My subordinates said that."
Lu Gang didn't look at him, but still looked at his drawing paper. The outline of the lotus had been outlined, but there was no vivid color yet.
"It's a little red."
Lu Gang said to himself: "Who can find some?"
The face of Daotong, who was kneeling on the ground, changed. He immediately pulled out his waist knife and cut off his left arm with one blow.
Lu Gang glanced sideways and handed the paintbrush in his hand to the guard beside him. The guard bent down and dipped the paintbrush in the blood.
"He is exempt from the death penalty. He will be demoted to three levels and taken down for treatment."
When he said this, he looked at the pale-faced Dao Tong. The man endured the severe pain and knelt there and kowtowed: "I thank you for not killing me."
Lu Gang said in a calm tone: "If Your Majesty asks about this matter, I will tell you that your arm was cut off by the murderer who snatched the felon."
Hearing this, the swordsman kowtowed again.
Lu Gang waved his hand: "Go down, if you don't go down and bleed, I will kill you."
Several other swordsmen hurriedly stepped forward and helped the injured man out of the study.
Not long after, Lu Gang put down his paintbrush and looked at the work he had just completed. What he was most satisfied with was the bright red color.
The lotus flowers that he usually sees are not so bright red and most pink, but he likes this color.
The guards fetched water, wiped away the blood on the ground, and then bowed out.
Lu Gang stood there, looking at the painting, his eyes gradually becoming blurred.
When other people see blood or smell fishy smell, they will probably be scared and panic.
But Lu Gang was different. The smell of blood could calm him down. What others were afraid of was what he liked.
Thinking about it carefully, this matter seems to have little to do with Tuoba Lie.
Just a few days ago, a Yuling Guard rushed to Yunzhou City from Lin Manting City and said that Lin Manting City was ready and could take action in advance.
The key is that I have never seen this Yu Lingwei again.
How can one hold the position of governor without real talent or special skills?
Just an hour ago, he gathered people together and took a closer look. There was no Yu Lingwei who reported the news.
Not even in the corpse.
Everyone in the Natural Resources Department in Lin Manting City died again. Gu Weishan was pierced through the forehead with a sword, and Bai Shengman's whereabouts are unknown.
Recall those corpses carefully...
Lu Gang suddenly realized something.
He is not the leader of this situation, and even now, he is not even His Majesty.
Someone is deliberately sabotaging His Majesty's plan, killing Wang Lian, those Yu Ling guards, and Lou Fan's spies in Yunzhou City.
Even in Linmanting City, there are people trying their best to prevent Yu Lingwei from handling the case of becoming the county king.
But then, the tide suddenly changed.
Another force appeared and brought back the situation that had been destroyed.
The corpses of those Yu Lingwei appeared in Chengjun Prince's Mansion. Dongfang Su said that he arranged for someone to do it...
Dongfang Su also said that he deliberately lured Prince Cheng to go to Youfang Valley to meet the leader of Momen.
"Come on, come on. Dongfang Su is calling."
Lu Gang shouted towards the outside of the study room.
About two moments later, his subordinates hurried back and said at the door: "Sir, Dongfang Su has disappeared."
"Um?!"
Lu Gang's eyes flashed.
He thought that Tuoba Lie arranged for the swordsman to rescue Xie Yatan, but now it seems that Dongfang Su is the most suspicious one.
This person has long been a member of Yu Lingwei, and has been placed next to Prince Cheng for a long time.
For so many years, there has been no chance to arrange a death certificate for Prince Cheng. Suddenly, the Momen was involved, and suddenly the evidence arrived.
If Dongfang Su was simply doing meritorious service, then he didn't need to ask Prince Cheng to meet the people of Momen. He only needed to find a way to place the structural diagram in Prince Cheng's palace.
Lu Gang opened the door and went out: "Go and ask who saw Dongfang Su in the end."
While they were talking, Tuoba Lie came over from a distance: "Master Lu, what happened?"
An extremely sincere and humble smile appeared on Lu Gang's face immediately, and he hurried over: "General, nothing happened. I am asking them to deploy more manpower because of my humble position, so that no more accidents happen."
Tuoba Lie nodded: "That's very good."
Lu Gang asked: "General, you came here so late. Does he have something to do with his subordinates?"
Tuoba Lie said: "I can't sleep at night. I have been thinking about why the thief came here quietly and took Xie Yatan away..."
He looked at Lu Gang: "Could it be that there is a traitor?"
Lu Gang said: "Probably not, but since the general reminded me, I will arrange for someone to check now."
Tuoba Lie nodded: "That's fine, be careful and don't make mistakes. You and I have already made mistakes. We can't make them a second time."
Lu Gang grunted: "Thank you so much, General. I will go and investigate in person now."
He apologized and left, leading people to investigate carefully, and found that no one had seen Dongfang Su after nightfall.
The last person who saw Dongfang Su was before dark. She said she saw him standing in the yard and there was nothing strange about him.
That night, Yu Lingwei mobilized urgently and searched the city, but they had to hide it from Tuoba Lie for the time being.
And when Lu Gang led people to search for Dongfang Su, Dongfang Su was at the place where Tuoba Lie lived.
When Tuoba Lie came back, he saw Dongfang Su pouring a cup of tea and drinking it. He couldn't help but smile.
"What you did this time was a little rough."
Dongfang Su sighed after taking a sip of tea: "It's not that easy. Something happened suddenly in Linmanting City. Some people didn't want Prince Cheng to die. I made the arrangements out of desperation."
Tuoba Lie said: "It's not bad, at least what should happen will still happen."
He sat down and opened the window.
Dongfang Su said: "General, if you open the window, aren't you afraid that someone will see me?"
Tuoba Lie said: "Who do you think can get close to this place and still be able to hide it from me?"
Dongfang Su nodded.
"Prince Cheng will definitely die this time. According to the plan, the emperor will definitely let the general come to investigate Prince Cheng's case."
Dongfang Su said: "If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will spread throughout Dayu very soon. When the time comes, no one will be disappointed."
Tuoba Lie nodded.
He looked out the window and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty wants me to handle this case, just to shock me and the ministers."
"Everyone in the world knows that I, Tuoba Lie, can even kill my old friends. From then on, no one in the civil and military dynasties would dare to deal with me."
Tuoba Lie slowly exhaled a breath.
"If not, how can I protect myself? If not, how can I take advantage of the situation?"
The power he wanted to take advantage of was to let everyone in the world know how cruel and unkind the Jade Emperor was, and to let everyone in the world know how suspicious the Jade Emperor was.
Before and after, the emperor's brothers were about to die, and Xie Fulan, the king of Chengjun, was the last one.
When people all over the world talk about this matter, no one will say that Emperor Jade forced his brothers to die.
In the future, Tuoba Lie really has no other choice. Among the people in the world, who wouldn't say that it was the emperor who forced Tuoba Lie to rebel?
Tuoba Lie breathed slowly to calm his mind.
"A lot."
He said.
Dongfang Su nodded: "It's quite a lot, enough for everyone in the world to make a judgment."
He asked: "Do you need me to go anywhere else?"
Tuoba Lie shook his head: "No need for the time being. You should go back to Yunzhou. It's time to restore your true self. Wait for me back in Yunzhou. I still have many things to say to you."
Dongfang Su leaned over: "I know."
He took off the mask on his face and transformed into a man in his fifties.
"Thanks a lot."
Tuoba Lie said: "First go to Yejun Wang Xie Liming and let him make a few wrong moves in a row, so that he colludes with the Dongbo people and steals and sells military supplies and weapons."
"After the war, you changed your name and went to be with Prince Cheng... It's all thanks to you these past years."
Dongfang Su leaned over and said, "The general thinks highly of me. The general treats me as a brother. I should repay him with my life."
Tuoba Lie waved his hand: "If you don't say this, you will go back to Yunzhou at dawn, find Sui Qing, and find a place to put Xie Yatan... At least she will call me uncle."
Dongfang Su said: "That girl is afraid that she will wake up in the future."
Tuoba Lie said: "If she can wake up, will she have to wait until later? Her father wanted to use me and kill me. I just did it earlier than her father expected. Xie Fulan and I know each other too well. He first
Take action and I will die. If I take action first, he will die..."
He looked out the window: "It's just that Xie Fulan never thought that I would take action before raising an army."
