News that Emperor Wan Cheng was critically ill suddenly spread throughout Luoyang City.

In recent months, Emperor Wancheng has been in charge intermittently, mostly with the eldest prince Ling Aoyang acting as his deputy. Even when he was in charge, his face was pale and he kept coughing. All the civil and military officials in the court and even the people in Luoyang city speculated that he was seriously ill.

But even so, I was still shocked when I learned the news that Emperor Wanwan Cheng was suddenly critically ill, and there was some criticism among the public.

Not long after this news came, more than a dozen Yangpao guards sent by the Jinwu Mansion had appeared in the city. The Jinwu Mansion was established by the founding emperor and was the most extensive organization in Liangyang. It could expand territory far away.

The soldiers of the Jinwu Mansion who defended the imperial city from overseas and patrolled the city of Luoyang to protect the safety of the imperial city were collectively called "Yangpao Protectors".

Although Yang Pao Hu was not considered an elite member of the Jinwu Mansion, Liang Yang advocated using force to open up frontiers, and would often use the most elite troops to expand territory and would not use them as forest guards. But even so, Yang Pao Hu was

It is still the most elite branch of the Imperial Guard.

Yangpao guards only wear blazing robes, no armor, and their heavy weapons only include a spear in their hand and a knife at their waist. They always only seek speed in their actions. It is said that a Yangpao guard patrols around the huge Luoyang City.

, it usually takes one day for the Imperial Guard, but they only need six hours.

In times of peace, Yangpaohu are rarely dispatched. Even if they are dispatched, they only patrol back and forth within a limited range during special periods, and only a few scattered people are dispatched. However, Yangpaohu is dispatched in full force to patrol around the city.

There is only one possibility.

That is, it is not peaceful.

Within half a day, the news about the emperor's critical illness seemed to have been revealed. Xiao Jing, the head of the Xiao family in Tianji Pavilion located in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly came to Beijing and accused King Mu Huai of banqueting all the heroes in the world two months ago. The impetus behind this was probably someone in Tianji Pavilion.

Someone did it deliberately, and even the news that the emperor was critically ill was inseparable from Tianji Pavilion.

Xiao Jing also said that the notorious King Mu Huai, who almost slaughtered all the heroes in the world, is still at large because someone from Tianji Pavilion leaked the information to him, allowing him to avoid disasters many times.

As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked.

It's not just Tianji Pavilion that violates the "don't ask" rule.

What's more, Tianji Pavilion actually planted spies in the imperial city.

Few people know that Tianji Pavilion was actually built by Liang Yang when he first established the dynasty, but it was not affiliated with the court. At first, Tianji Pavilion was established just to facilitate the control of the order of the world in case of emergencies. Later, the power of Tianji Pavilion became overwhelming.

All over the world has gradually become an organization that controls the lifeblood of the martial arts world. If something big happens in the world, Tianji Pavilion will explicitly prohibit the placement of spies in certain places. However, there is a place where Tianji Pavilion has been prohibited from setting up spies since its establishment.

Entered.

Royal Palace.

Jinling in the old days is now Luoyang.

And Tianji Pavilion released the news that the emperor was seriously ill, which indirectly showed that they broke the ban and violated the rules!

In order to prevent the news of the emperor's serious illness from spreading out of Luoyang, King Jing sent more than thirty masters and led 20,000 heavy troops to surround the city of Luoyang so tightly that not even a bird could fly out.

And if there is any sign of discussion in the market, as long as Yangpaohu notices it, he will be arrested and imprisoned in the sky prison, waiting to be punished.

The members of Tianji Pavilion who lived in Luoyang were all dug out, taken to the execution stand under Dingding Gate for interrogation, and then subjected to criminal law.

However, the leader of Tianji Pavilion in Luoyang City has a special status.

Tianji Pavilion has a large number of people, but the nine most important families with different surnames have been branched to all over Jiuzhou. But in Luoyang City, it is the Ling family.

It is the "Ling" who is the current emperor of Liangyang.

As for the Liangyang royal family, there is only one person in Tianji Pavilion.

Cheng Wang, Ling Pengyue.

Under the Dingding Gate.

King Jing Ling Aoyang's eyes were indifferent, looking at the brother in front of him who had spent time with him day and night.

Unlike other Tianji Pavilion members, he did not see a begging look on Ling Pengyue's face, or even a trace of nervousness. Even though his hands were shackled and his feet were covered with blood, Ling Pengyue's face remained as calm as usual

.

Ling Aoyang's voice was deep: "Second brother."

Ling Pengyue slowly raised his head, "Brother Emperor."

The knife rose and fell, blood flew, and wailing sounds continued to be heard from the execution platform. Some members of the Tianji Pavilion were punished in this way, and most of them huddled under the execution platform awaiting trial.

Ling Aoyang looked to the side and found that the criminal recorder was sitting there, holding an ink pen in his hand, writing a sentence on a piece of paper, writing the oral notes of the interrogated criminals, and then listing the crimes and the punishments they deserved.

At this moment, interrogating members of the royal family should be treated with even more seriousness.

"Leave it to me alone to judge." Ling Aoyang suddenly said.

The Recorder looked hesitant, but Ling Aoyang, as a prisoner, had an increasing prestige in the court, so it was natural that he could not refuse. After thinking for a moment, he handed him the pen and paper.

Ling Pengyue frowned slightly and said: "Brother Emperor, Liang Yang has never distinguished between the emperor and the common people in terms of criminal law. I hope there will be a fair verdict in this matter."

Ling Aoyang didn't look at him, turned around with a pen and paper, "Why don't I want to do this? It's just that I really don't want to see this happen."

Ling Pengyue vaguely guessed something and fell into silence.

"Follow me." Ling Aoyang walked away.

The place they went to was Prince Cheng's Mansion not far away.

There were heavy troops stationed in front of Prince Cheng's Mansion, and the door was sealed. When King Jing came, he bowed slightly, and then Ling Aoyang said something to the leading soldiers, and they opened the seal and let the two of them walk in.

The house was messy and deserted. The rockery in the backyard collapsed, and there were rough trampled footprints on the lawn, obviously showing signs of being searched.

Ling Pengyue looked at everything in front of him and suddenly asked: "Where are the housekeepers and servants in my house? Will they also be interrogated?"

Ling Aoyang frowned deeply, put down the pen and paper, opened the shackles for Ling Pengyue, raised his hand and pointed, "Sit."

There was a low table, with a pot of cold soju on the charcoal in front of the table. Ling Pengyue made it this morning, but just as he lit the fire and put the pot on, a Yangpao guard burst into the door.

came in and took him away.

Ling Pengyue sat down, picked up the wine bottle and put it on the table.

Ling Aoyang also sat down and said in a deep voice: "If you have this time to care about others, you might as well care more about yourself."

Ling Pengyue just sat there quietly, "Those who are clean will be clean themselves."

"The Qing Dynasty will self-Qing Dynasty?" Ling Aoyang picked up the pen and stayed on the punishment book for a moment, but still failed to make a second stroke.

In the past, if the Criminal Division suddenly stopped writing when interrogating a prisoner, it would be to express doubts about what the suspect said. Of course Ling Pengyue noticed this and couldn't help but frowned and looked at Ling Aoyang.

But he met Ling Aoyang's cold eyes.
