Daxia Wensheng

Bailu Mansion.

government office.

General Changfei and others knelt on the ground, announcing Gu Jinnian's victory.

Zhou He and the others were extremely silent.

They knew that Gu Jinnian was so unscrupulous and reckless.

It was all because Gu Jinnian's status was too high, they couldn't win.

Only when King Qi Lin came, could Gu Jinnian be suppressed, not anyone else.

King Qi Lin is a king with a different surname, and he is a prince. No matter in terms of status or courage, Gu Jinnian cannot compare with it.

The reason why everyone couldn't suppress Gu Jinnian was simply because Gu Jinnian's status was too high.

Other than that, there is no other reason.

So at this moment, Zhou He very much hoped that King Qi Lin could come quickly.

As long as King Qi Lin comes, everything will be easy to talk about.

And in the hall.

Looking at the kneeling General Changfei and others, Gu Jinnian showed no pity in his eyes.

These people are arrogant soldiers.

There was no awe in their eyes, except for King Qi Lin, they looked down on anyone.

The vassal kings were always a disaster in the Great Xia Dynasty, but Emperor Yongsheng was still there, and Emperor Jiande forcibly cut down the vassals, so that these vassal kings weakened a lot.

Otherwise, the feudal lord would have made trouble long ago.

After the kowtow, Gu Jinnian waved his hand, and General Changfei and the others immediately stood up and stood aside without saying a word.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"His Royal Highness."

"You hit it too."

"There is trouble too."

"What result do you want, just tell me."

"Why bother here?"

It was Zhou He's voice.

No matter what you say right now, it's useless, it's better to go on as you want to take care of Jinnian.

What is your purpose here?
Check the case, right?
Then investigate the case.

Why procrastinate here.

Hearing Zhou He's words, Gu Jinnian knew in his heart that such trouble was meaningless, and the thing to do now was to investigate the case.

It's just that I know this in my heart, but I don't need Zhou He to remind me.

He glanced at Zhou He.

Gu Jinnian directly threw the file on the table to Zhou He, and said calmly.

"Row."

"Then the prince will come to investigate the case."

"May I ask Magistrate Zhou, Jiangling County has lost five thousand children within two years, what does Magistrate Zhou think about this matter?"

Gu Jinnian spoke.

Since you want to investigate the case, then Gu Jinnian will investigate it.

Hearing this, Zhou He was obviously much calmer than before.

"His Royal Highness."

"The official is not particularly aware of this matter, and the officials below are somewhat concealed."

"Secondly, there are so many things in Jiangling County, and the official documents are piled up like a mountain every day. I feel very guilty for losing the child, but His Royal Highness can go to each county to ask."

"A lot of children are reported missing every day, and they are often found after three to five days. They are either picked up by their relatives or lost by themselves. The government will try their best to find them."

"But because someone reported the crime, the government can't do nothing and search the children wholeheartedly, right?"

When Zhou He opened his mouth, he first excused himself, and then gave a sophistical explanation.

"If there are one or two cases like this, I really won't argue with you."

"But the problem is that 5000 people disappeared. This is so far. If we wait another two or three days, the number may reach at least [-]."

"The loss of so many children can't be explained by your busy schedule, right?"

"Furthermore, the subordinates are hiding things. How dare the subordinates dare to conceal them? What is the purpose of their concealment?"

"As the head of a county, you can't control the people below, do you still have the face to say that?"

Gu Jinnian asked coldly.

Hearing these questions, Zhou He didn't get angry, but cupped his hands.

"What His Royal Highness said is very true."

"It's the official's dereliction of duty, but since this matter has already happened, and the official is aware of it, the official will immediately send someone to investigate strictly, and at the same time do everything possible to find the whereabouts of these children."

"His Royal Highness, can you calm down?"

No one expected that Zhou He's answer would be this.

He wasn't angry, didn't get angry, and didn't argue with Gu Jinnian, but followed Gu Jinnian's wishes and took the initiative to admit his mistakes.

But this answer is really the best answer, after all, it can make Gu Jinnian speechless.

After all, Zhou He's meaning is very simple, I admit my mistake, what else can you say?
"Come to investigate now?"

"Master Zhou, don't you think it's too late?"

Faced with Zhou He's rogue tactics, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but sneered.

"His Royal Highness."

"I admit my mistake, and I will report this matter to His Majesty. No matter what punishment His Majesty gives me, I will never shirk it."

"A dereliction of duty is a dereliction of duty."

"But what His Royal Highness said, in my opinion, is completely a battle of emotions. I also hope that His Royal Highness can focus on the overall situation."

"Everyone, I want to ask you, do you want to see His Royal Highness punish these lawbreakers, or do you want to find your children?"

When Zhou He opened his mouth, he was still calm and composed, and his words were logical.

Admitting the mistake again, and at the same time putting the point of contradiction completely on finding the child, rather than holding anyone accountable.

He even took the initiative to arouse people's discussion.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, the common people couldn't help but speak one after another.

"Please, my lord, find our child."

"My lord, please find our child back."

"If we can find our children, we don't care about anything, please adults."

All of a sudden, the people spoke one after another.

This is actually indirect pressure.

Zhou He's idea is very simple, Gu Jinnian cannot be allowed to control the rhythm now, he must do it.

The officials below concealed the matter and looked back to find some scapegoats. Because of their dereliction of duty, at worst, they were demoted to a lower level. What if they were dismissed?

After all, Gu Jinnian had made a big fuss about the matter, and it might just be a matter of losing his head.

If he continues to make trouble like taking care of Jinnian, something big will happen.

And if he tosses according to his own ideas, not only can he keep his head, but it can also make Gu Jinnian suffer a lot.

Hearing the people speak, Gu Jinnian immediately spoke up.

"Fathers and elders, my son came to Bailu Mansion today to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"All the folks and elders, please believe in this son. This son will definitely give you an explanation. The child must be found, but these officials who do not act will also be severely punished."

Gu Jinnian spoke out, wanting to appease the emotions of the people.

But before Gu Jinnian could continue to speak, Zhou He's voice sounded directly.

"Then please, His Royal Highness, let me go, and I will immediately mobilize government forces to carry out a search operation."

"What's the point of keeping me here? One more person is more power."

"There's nothing you can do about it here."

"Furthermore, didn't General Changfei bring 20 cavalry? His Royal Highness has [-] troops. If you use this force to search, I believe it will not take long before everything can be found out."

"Everyone, is there any truth to what I said?"

Zhou He continued to speak, forcibly interrupting Gu Jinnian's preparations.

Now he just wants to use the eagerness of the people to prevent Gu Jinnian from pursuing responsibility step by step.

In fact, smart people know it.

So many people have disappeared, some for two years, some for one year, some for half a year, and some even just a month ago.

It is only a few thousand miles away from the border.

If there really is a gang that specializes in child trafficking and abducts more than 5000 people, or even 7000 people, then this industry chain will be extremely mature, and people lost in the morning may arrive in the Huns the next day.

This possibility is definitely not small.

It has been trafficked to the border, and it is almost impossible for you to get it back.

As for these officials, why conceal them?
There must be something tricky, otherwise, if the normal children are missing, wouldn't it be enough to report them one by one?

Even if you lose a thousand, if you report it to the past, it will just give you a charge of incompetence and replace you.

Maybe the higher-ups are unwilling, so they want to hide it, but when the number reaches 2000 or 3000, basically no officials will dare to hide it.

Report, dismissal.

If you don't report it, you will die if you are found out.

Who would take such a big risk, is the brain sick?

Even if the Lord of the Bailu Mansion is really bold, the possibility cannot be ruled out, but here comes the question, what about the people below?

Are you a fool?

Although the higher-ups don't deal with this matter, if the people below don't take it seriously, anyway, I reported it, and the higher-ups can't do anything about me, it's an accomplice.

The Great Xia Dynasty has express laws. If the higher-level officials ignore the situation, they can directly report to the Sixth Ministry.

If you did not report it, you are an accomplice in the eyes of the court.

So there are two conclusions.

Or they also searched internally, but they couldn't find it.

Either this group of officials has a lot of tricks, and they must be involved with some people.

A huge industrial chain has been formed.

Therefore, what Zhou He said was completely fake and empty remarks.

30 cavalry went to search, how to search?Search there?Got a clue?

If you really want to search based on clues, you can't find anything for a month.

Now Zhou He wants to use this method to delay his time. After all, the court may not know what happened here.

King Qi Lin may not have received the news yet.

If the imperial court knows what Gu Jinnian has done, even if His Majesty wants to favor Gu Jinnian, it will be useless.

Six will not agree.

Zhen Guogong has no choice.

Therefore, the Ministry of War will immediately remove Gu Jinnian's military power, and it is very likely that Gu Jinnian will be sent back to Beijing to be punished. Once Gu Jinnian loses his military power, everything will be easy to talk about.

Gu Jinnian without military power is like a tiger without claws, they can handle it as they like.

It was nothing more than the fact that the imperial court attached great importance to the case and sent Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Department of Xuandeng or the Department of Zhenfu to interrogate in person.

Other than that, there is no other possibility.

Gu Jinnian knew that they were procrastinating, wanting to procrastinate.

"Yes, the 30 troops will definitely find my daughter."

"Yes, yes, yes, the 30 army will definitely find our children, please help us, sir."

"My lord, save us."

The voice kept ringing.

The common people opened their mouths one after another, and when they heard the 30 army search, they subconsciously believed that it must be effective.

After all, there is an army of 30.

Is it hard to find someone?
Ginger is indeed old and spicy.

If Zhou He agrees to this, once the [-] troops are released, when King Qi Lin arrives, the chips on hand will be gone.

But if he doesn't agree, the people's favor towards him will gradually decrease. The reason why he can be so arrogant is half because of his status, and the other half is the support of the people.

This trick is powerful.

"Everyone, my son has already sent people to search."

"Furthermore, everyone go to file the case first, and this prince will send someone to search for it urgently based on the information of the case."

"So you don't have a clue, right?"

Facing Zhou He's offensive, Gu Jinnian could only see the tricks.

After he finished speaking, Zhou He wanted to speak again, but Gu Jinnian's voice sounded directly, interrupting Zhou He's next words.

"Come on."

"It is said that Zhang Ming's friends and relatives, officials of all sizes from Pingyang County have entered the Yamen."

Gu Jinnian didn't let Zhou He continue to speak, but turned against the generals and directly investigated Zhang Ming's case thoroughly.

As soon as this remark came out, some soldiers quickly left to invite someone to come over.

"Your Highness, isn't this inappropriate?"

"What case are you here to investigate? So many children of the common people have not been found, why are you bringing up other cases?"

Zhou He opened his mouth and finally seized an opportunity. Naturally, he couldn't let it go like this.

"Are you judging the case here? Or is this son judging the case?"

"Master Zhou, why stir up trouble here?"

"You didn't come to investigate the case of the missing child earlier, but when my son was dealing with this matter, you were talking here again?"

Gu Jinnian was also very calm and asked directly.

"His Royal Highness is a little serious. I am just concerned about the whereabouts of these children."

"I didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, I can tell the priority."

"What the Zhang Ming case is, I don't know, and I don't know, but what I know is that the Zhang Ming case is just a case, and there are so many people waiting for His Royal Highness to say something."

"It only takes a word from His Royal Highness, and the 30 troops can search for the lost children with all their might."

"In one night, even if only thirty, twenty, or ten were recovered, it would be regarded as immeasurable merit."

Zhou He made a sound, he seemed to have grasped Gu Jinnian's pain point, and he kept emphasizing to send troops quickly, send troops quickly.

Sure enough, following Zhou He's voice.

The rest of the officials also responded.

"Yes, His Royal Highness, you are dedicated to the people. We have heard of this. Since you are dedicated to the people, why don't you send an army to search? Could it be that your Royal Highness holds military power and just wants to show off? Want to suppress me?"

"His Royal Highness, I can understand what you mean, but no matter what, the people are the most important thing. Since you know about this matter, you should deal with it. The case does not matter whether it is big or small, and it is determined according to the priority. Your Highness, please investigate it carefully. "

"His Royal Highness please investigate strictly."

All of a sudden, voices sounded, asking Gu Jinnian to investigate carefully.

It sounds like everyone is standing on the moral high ground. At this moment, everyone has turned into a Confucian.

Those who didn't know thought these people were first-class good officials.

"His Royal Highness, if there is a need for manpower, King Qi Lin's hundred thousand cavalry will definitely respond immediately, search for the lost children, and return justice to the common people."

At this moment, even a man next to General Changfei also spoke.

Each one is very enthusiastic.

They knew that delaying Gu Jinnian's time was the best way at present.

To put it bluntly, General Changfei and the others don't know what case Gu Jinnian wants to investigate, and they don't want to know.

But they were very happy to be able to disgust Gu Jinnian, which was regarded as a form of venting.

In the face of the crowd suddenly attack.

Gu Jinnian's face was calm, he didn't answer, but looked at the people outside, and spoke in a plausible voice.

"Fathers and elders."

"Have you heard what they said?"

"This son is not a dictator, but what they say, this son does not listen, this son only asks one question."

"Do you believe in them, or believe in this son?"

"If the fellow villagers believe them, I will send 30 troops to search immediately, but if there is no result, I will not be able to help you."

"If you folks believe in this son, please rest assured that within seven days, this son will give you an explanation."

The attack of the crowd does look ferocious, but so what?
Gu Jinnian will now leave this issue to the common people.

If the people still believed in these people, then Gu Jinnian had nothing to say.

But if these people believe in him, the rhythm is still in his hands, and Gu Jinnian will not let the people down.

For a while, facing this choice, the people hesitated a little.

Most people still wanted to find their children, so they naturally hoped that Gu Jinnian would send 30 troops to find their children.

But there are also sensible people who know that these people are uneasy and kind.

"Everyone, your children, I don't know where they are now. If they are remedied in time, they may not have been sold."

"That's right, folks, the 30-strong army will definitely find out the results after a search. You have to trust His Royal Highness, and trust me, the soldiers of the Great Xia."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will be gone next time. With 30 troops, it's not as simple as 2000 people."

"The entire Bailu Mansion only has 30 garrisons, and [-] troops. We will surely find your children."

The officials spoke one after another, trying to instigate the common people to choose them.

But right now.

A voice sounded.

"Everyone, don't be fooled, the officials of the Bailu Mansion have long been rotten to the bone."

"In the past two years, how many times have we reported the crime? Have they taken care of it?"

"They don't care about our life or death, they conceal the news, put me and the people in the fire and water, they don't care, and now a royal highness has finally come to avenge us, we don't trust them."

Someone spoke. It was an old farmer. He was holding a farm tool. He was planning to plow the fields, but he came over when he saw the excitement.

Although he had been watching the excitement, at a critical moment, he was the first to wake up.

As the old farmer opened his mouth, another voice sounded immediately.

"Fathers and elders, I have heard about His Royal Highness. He defended the people of Jiangning County, punished profiteers, and punished corrupt officials. He is a really good person. I believe His Royal Highness will consider issues from the perspective of our people."

"The officials of the Bailu Mansion have blackened their consciences. We can't trust them. We have to trust them. What did they do in the early years?"

Someone spoke again, and this person seemed to have some prestige. When he spoke, he got a lot of responses.

"Yes, yes, we can't lose our minds just because the child is lost. All the officials of the Bailu Mansion have lost their consciences. We must support His Royal Highness."

"That's right, His Royal Highness sent troops here to support us common people. These bastards will be beheaded one by one later. Don't trust them."

As the sound kept ringing.

Zhou He's face changed slightly, he didn't expect the officials of Bailu Mansion to be so unpopular?
You must know that everything he said was speaking for these people, but he did not expect this to be the result.

"Fellow folks, you can choose not to believe in Bailu Mansion, but you can choose to believe in Jiangling County."

"This old man is the governor of Jiangling County, so I won't lie to you."

When Zhou He opened his mouth, the Bailu Mansion lost the hearts of the people. He had nothing to say, and the only hope right now was to hope that the people would trust him.

"Go away, you are a nest of snakes and rats, who doesn't know?"

"Still believe in Jiangling County? Old man, I believe ghosts don't believe in your Jiangling County people."

"Officials and officials protect each other, who doesn't know? We just trust His Royal Highness."

"That's right, just trust His Royal Highness."

Accompanied by these sounds.

Zhou He's face became extremely ugly, and for a moment he really didn't know how to answer.

He could only give the officials of Bailu Mansion a vicious look.

As long as they have done something, it is not the current situation.

Get answers from the people.

Gu Jinnian also let out a long breath.

However, he was neither rejoicing nor joyful, but more intensely cold.

It turns out.

How ineffective are the officials of Bailu Mansion?
These officials, who only know fish and meat, should be killed.

For a moment, Gu Jinnian looked at Zhou He.

"Master Zhou, what else can we say now?"

Gu Jinnian asked.

"His Royal Highness, I still feel that the search should be the main priority."

"The people are just resisting these officials, not voluntarily."

Zhou He still opened his mouth, hoping to search.

"Search for your mother."

"Did this son give you face?"

"I would like to ask you a question, because you are the magistrate of Jiangling County, so I don't want to scold you directly."

"Do you think this son gave you face? An old and immortal thing."

"Why don't you just die?"

"Still making noise here."

Hearing that Zhou He was still insisting, Gu Jinnian really couldn't bear it this time.

There is no need to ask Zhou He about this matter. To put it bluntly, even if the people request a search, the military power is in the hands of Gu Jinnian. It is completely possible to pretend to search and continue to control in fact.

The reason for doing this is to let Zhou He see how disappointed the people are with the officials of the Bailu Mansion.

It's also because he has the truth on the bright side. After all, the court will know about these things he has done sooner or later. In this way, he still has an explanation.

At least he has something to say with this Zhou He, and he is not completely dictatorial.

Unexpectedly, meaning, Zhou He really felt that he was afraid, and made irresponsible remarks here, obstructing and hindering.

Then Gu Jinnian couldn't bear it anymore.

Spray directly.

After being directly sprayed with anger, Zhou He's face was a little unsightly.

"Your Highness, the old man just suggested that you have never been an official, and you don't understand many things."

"A few simple suggestions, why should His Royal Highness be so angry?"

Zhou He opened his mouth, but he didn't get angry.

"I'm angry with you mother."

"Old never dies."

Gu Jinnian returned to his seat and spoke again.

Nothing else, just like to scold people.

"His Royal Highness, you are a scholar, so speaking like this is an insult to gentleness."

Zhou He took a deep breath. He has a city mansion, and he doesn't want to yell at Gu Jinnian here, which would be demeaning.

"Your mother."

"A person like you deserves to be treated with courtesy by this son."

"Do you want me to be gentle with your mother?"

Gu Jinnian continued to insult, and the more he insulted, the worse it sounded, he didn't look like a scholar at all.

Like a dude.

But thinking about it carefully, Gu Jinnian seems to be a dude.

Exactly.

"Your Highness, the old man has always been polite to you, but you have insulted him again and again."

"Now you are insulting the old couple even more, you are going too far."

This time Zhou He really couldn't bear it anymore.

The two words of scolding before were okay, but now the more scolding is getting worse, it's too ugly. Does this look like a scholar?

"What can I do if I scold you?"

"You bastards, don't talk about scolding you, even if you kill you, what can you do?"

"and also."

Gu Jinnian spoke coldly.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up, pointed at Zhou He and roared loudly.

"If you dare to gossip here again, do you believe that my son is going to torture you now?"

"Immortal thing, do you think this son is here to discuss with you? This son is telling you."

"Listen to me, everyone. Now the eldest son of the Bailu Mansion is the eldest, so if you don't agree, just squeak."

"Say hell again, the Nine Clans of Zhuer."

Gu Jinnian's voice was extremely loud, and he used the power of martial arts to make the faces of these officials turn red. It was because of the surging blood in his body, not because of shame.

These people have nothing to be ashamed of.

Sure enough, this method instantly shut them up.

I really dare not continue to provoke.

If the provocation continues, they are afraid that Gu Jinnian will really get hotheaded and torture them.

After everything is quiet.

Gu Jinnian spoke.

"Call the county magistrate of Pingyang County."

Gu Jinnian took a deep breath and stopped talking.

The Zhang Ming case is indeed just a small case, but this case was handed over to him by Su Wenjing. Mr. Wen Jing must have his thoughts and intentions in choosing this case.

Now that Su Huaiyu and the others haven't brought any news, Gu Jinnian can't say much.

It can only be investigated from this case.

soon.

The magistrate of Pingyang County appeared.

When he was detained, he knelt on the ground directly.

"The magistrate of Pingyang County, Wang Yong, has met His Royal Highness."

Wang Yong knelt on the ground with a flustered look on his face. He is just a county magistrate. Where has he seen such a posture?
"Wang Yong."

"My son asks you."

"Why did Zhang Ming die?"

Gu Jinnian spoke in a calm voice.

Hearing this, Wang Yong didn't dare to answer, but lowered his head in a panic.

"Say."

Gu Jinnian shouted.

At the moment, Wang Yongzhi falters.

"Zhang Ming entered Wang Yuanwai's house late at night, accidentally killed a servant, was taken into custody by the government, and was sentenced by the Ministry of Punishment to be executed."

Wang Yong lowered his head and said so.

"Accidentally killed a royal servant?"

"Why is he going to the Wang family?"

Gu Jinnian continued to ask.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, because of the demolition of the county government office, he heard rumors from nowhere, thinking that the Wang family was secretly suppressing him, so he made a scene in the government and was imprisoned for three months."

"After he was released from prison, he got drunk and emboldened, so he sneaked into Wang Yuanwai's house and killed others by mistake."

"This person is addicted to alcohol, and he is lazy, and he is addicted to gambling. In the end, he sold his wife and daughter. He is a thug."

Wang Yong answered.

"About demolition?"

"Are you a fool when you think this son is?"

"Zhang Ming's neighbors and friends have already written all the confessions."

"Zhang Ming returned from the army, and within a few days, he found that his wife and daughter had disappeared suddenly. He ran to report to the government, but the government did not file a case."

"Then Zhang Ming began to drink gradually. As for his addiction to gambling? In the confessions of these people, it was never mentioned that Zhang Ming was addicted to gambling. Instead, some of his friends on the job took the initiative to drag Zhang Ming to the casino."

"Is this also called being addicted to gambling?"

"As for the demolition of the house, it's even more nonsense. This is the land deed of Zhang Ming's family. The land deed has been sold to members of the Wang family and sold for ten taels of silver."

"Zhang Ming's house has front and back yards, and there are 300 acres of fertile land. If calculated according to the demolished households, at least [-] taels of silver can be obtained, and ten taels of silver can be sold to Wang Yuanwai?"

"Is there nothing hidden in this?"

"Wang Yong, I will give you one last chance. If you tell the truth, I can give you a lenient treatment."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

Su Huaiyu was reliable in his work, not only brought people here, but also recorded a statement on the way, and Su Huaiyu also wrote some of his own views and doubts.

This Zhang Ming did not sell his son or daughter at all. His wife and daughter disappeared. He went to report to the police after the disappearance, but he waited for a long time, but there was no news, so he gradually began to drink away his worries.

As for being addicted to gambling like life, this is simply impossible.

And there is still a big doubt about all this, that is, the land deed of Zhang Ming's family was sold to Wang Yuanwai for ten taels of silver, and the land deed worth more than 2000 taels of silver was sold at the price of cabbage for ten taels of silver.

This is very suspicious, but the selling time was a few days before he was imprisoned.

Should be voluntary.

"This, this, the officer doesn't know."

"I also ask His Royal Highness to forgive me."

Wang Yong stuttered completely, unable to speak.

"I don't know, do you?"

"Come on, pass it on to the king."

As soon as Gu Jinnian slapped the gavel, he was waiting for Wang Yong's words.

soon.

A figure was escorted over.Wang Yuanwai.

After entering the government office.

Wang Yuanwai directly knelt on the ground, sweating profusely from fright.

"The grass people have met adults."

Wang Yuanwai knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice, showing how scared he was.

He didn't know who Gu Jinnian was, he only knew that he was from Kyoto and was a big shot.

"Wang Ping, why did Zhang Ming buy the land deed from you at ten taels of silver?"

Gu Jinnian spoke calmly.

Ask directly.

"This time, my lord, it was the grassroots who made a small plan to take advantage of Zhang Ming's drunkenness and let him sign the land deed."

Wang Ping opened his mouth and answered like this.

It's just this answer, everyone knows it's fake.

"You really don't cry when you see the coffin."

"Get drunk and sign the land deed, Zhang Ming won't make trouble?"

"Come here, behead Wang Yuanwai's whole family. If you don't tell the truth, you will die for this son."

"I really think that if you don't tell the truth, my son won't be able to find out, right?"

Gu Jinnian was very domineering, and immediately issued an order to drag him out and behead him.

As soon as he said this, Wang Yuanwai's face turned green with fright.

"I said, I said, I said, my lord, I recruit."

Wang Yuanwai was frightened.

This son doesn't play his cards according to the routine, shouldn't he use evidence to refute himself?

Come up and behead?Do you want to be so overbearing?
"His Royal Highness, you are not in line with the rules."

"Isn't this a trick of torture?"

Zhou He opened his mouth and wanted to stop it immediately. Gu Jinnian's trial of the case was totally against the rules.

Snapped.

However, Gu Jinnian in the hall directly took out an iron token and threw it at Zhou He's face with such force that Zhou He was dizzy.

"I said, if you dare to make noise again, I will kill you. Come and slap twenty people. Anyone who dares to stop this son from handling the case will be slapped until they dare not speak."

Gu Jinnian was not used to it.

Give face, right?
In an instant, two soldiers came and beat Zhou He in front of everyone.

Twenty slaps, each louder than the last, made Zhou He almost have a brain hemorrhage.

One is pain, and the other is humiliation.

Meanwhile, General Changfei and the others on the side also frowned.

At the same time, I was also a little fortunate, fortunate that Gu Jinnian was not completely offended to death, otherwise, they would not be able to bear the [-] slaps in public.

It's worse than dying.

"Say."

Gu Jinnian looked at Wang Yuanwai and said angrily.

"Go back to your lord."

"It was the county magistrate of Pingyang County who asked me to find Zhang Ming in private. Zhang Ming's wife and daughter were missing at the time. I lied to him that I knew the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, and I just wanted to sell the house to the villain."

"Later he sold the house, and the villain lied to him for a month. Later, when things came to light, he knew he had been cheated, so he went to the yamen to make a fuss. The magistrate Wang took action and imprisoned him for three months."

"Then he was released from prison, and with hatred in his heart, he killed one of my servants. In the end, I sent someone to arrest him and take him to the county government, where he was sentenced to death."

Wang Yuanwai told the truth.

"You are talking nonsense here, my lord, I don't, it's his greed, it has nothing to do with me."

Wang Yong panicked and spoke quickly.

"Shut up."

Gu Jinnian patted the gavel, and looked at Wang Ping fiercely.

"remember."

"This is the last chance for you."

"Did Zhang Ming kill anyone?"

When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he found a loophole.

If Zhang Ming wanted to kill someone, he would only kill the king, not a single servant. Even if someone found out, as a member of the Lian family, he could ignore these servants.

However, it was recorded in the file that Zhang Ming had no contact with Wang Ping and was directly arrested by the county government.

This means that someone designed it.

Hearing this, Wang Ping stopped talking again.

"It seems that you really want to die."

When Gu Jinnian got up, he made a murderous move.

"grown ups."

"The villain said, the villain said everything, it was Wang Yong who confessed to the villain and framed Zhang Ming."

"Zhang Ming did not kill anyone."

Wang Ping had a mournful face.

Answer truthfully.

If he said it, it would be his bad luck at most, but if he didn't say it, according to Gu Jinnian's temper, it is estimated that he would be punished by the three clans, and the nine clans would be a bit exaggerated.

But he still wants to protect the tribe.

get the answer.

Gu Jinnian stopped talking.

But Wang Yong let out a breath directly, completely at a loss for what to say.

"Wang Yong."

"This son will give you a chance, and you will tell the truth what's going on."

"This son can guarantee that if you don't kill your whole family, your offspring can still live, and your wife and your parents will not be implicated."

"I only give you a chance."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

This Wang Yong has problems, and Wang Ping has problems too, but these are small shrimps, as long as you know the truth.

Other things don't matter.

He wants to find out who is behind the scenes.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wang Yong raised his head, looked at Gu Jinnian, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something.

But right now.

Xu Ping's voice sounded.

"Wang Yong, you'd better tell the truth and explain everything clearly. The prince will only give you one chance. If you make a mistake, your nine clans will die."

sounded.

Gu Jinnian's face suddenly changed.

This is the threat of Chi Guoguo.

Sure enough, following Xu Ping's opening, Wang Yong's eyes widened, then he took a deep breath and slapped his heart hard.

He is very determined.

There was hardly any hesitation.

directly shattered his heart.

Killed on the spot.

ruthless.

ruthless.

ruthless.

It's really hard to do.

"Xu Ping."

"Do you want to die?"

Gu Jinnian set off and came directly to Xu Ping, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness."

"The officer just repeated what you said, afraid that this guy would not tell the truth, but he didn't expect this Wang Yong, he would rather die than tell the truth."

"It seems that Wang Yong must be involved with these child traffickers, please His Royal Highness investigate thoroughly."

Xu Ping spoke.

It seemed a little aggrieved, as if he was just doing bad things with good intentions.

But everyone knows that this is threatening, threatening Wang Yong.

Although it is repeated.

But the meaning of this repetition is nothing more than telling Wang Yong that if you dare to speak out, your nine clans will die, and Gu Jinnian will not be able to keep it.

And behind this, the people involved must be very big, so big that Wang Yong would not believe a prince.

"Come on."

"Slap his mouth."

"Beat him until he can't speak."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

Fortunately, Zhang Ming's case is basically understood.

His wife and children disappeared, he drank his sorrows away, was deceived again, made a big fuss in the yamen, planned to be murdered, and died unjustly in his hometown.

Just a few words can make it clear, but no one knows the bitterness in it.

Wang Yong is dead.

Gu Jinnian didn't care, on the contrary, he was more certain that this matter was related to everyone present, especially this Xu Ping.

The soldiers came and grabbed Xu Ping, regardless of what Xu Ping said, they just came up and slapped him.

And Gu Jinnian's eyes once again fell on Wang Ping.

"There is one thing that you haven't told this son. It's true that you deceived Zhang Ming."

"But what are you deceiving?"

"Why does Zhang Ming believe your words?"

"In other words, you must have a token of his wife and daughter, or something very important, otherwise, Zhang Ming would not be so stupid as to trust you without hesitation."

"speak out."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

trick him into believing.

Businessmen seek profit.

But the question is, why do people believe it?Why should I believe you?

Go to the doctor in a hurry?

may.

But Zhang Ming is not stupid. I will give you the land deed directly. What if you lie to me?

Unless Wang Ping took out some tokens.

This means that Wang Ping really knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter, or that Wang Yong knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter.

"Back to adults"

Wang Ping wanted to speak.

A voice sounded.

"Come here, carry Wang Yong's body down."

The voice sounded, it was an official, an official of Bailu Mansion, he suddenly spoke at this time.

The meaning is the same as Xu Ping.

is a warning.

"Palm mouth."

Gu Jinnian just glanced at it, he knew someone would jump out.

But he was not afraid, and he still did it on purpose.

There is no other reason.

If there is a separate interrogation, the absence of these people makes little sense. Whether it is Wang Yong or Wang Ping, they can withdraw their confessions at any time.

It is best to speak clearly in person.

Otherwise, if you turn around and give them a chance to retract the confession, you will be in trouble.

"Wang Ping."

"You tell me, I will send [-] troops to protect your family."

"After this case is over, I will send them to Beijing and live next to the Duke's Mansion."

"I can assure you that if your family members are implicated by this matter, I will do nothing in this life, but find the real culprits and execute them all Ling Chi to avenge you."

"If you don't tell me, when something is finally found out, then don't blame this son for being cruel."

Gu Jinnian spoke up and threatened Wang Ping.

However, before Wang Ping could answer, a figure came quickly, it was Xu Jin's figure.

His face was heavy.

Quickly walked up to Gu Jinnian.

"His Royal Highness."

"King Qilin is here."

The sound was very small, but everyone present was excited.

King Qi Lin is here?
The smiles of General Changfei and the others could not be concealed.

As for Zhou He and the others, they let out a long breath, and they couldn't hide the smile in their eyes.

King Qi Lin is here.

Here comes their biggest backstage.

Wang with a different surname.

Da Xia has a different surname Wang.

In terms of status, he is only higher than Gu Jinnian.

In terms of strength, this prince is a strong king of Wu.

In terms of means, Gu Jinnian was still drinking milk when the prince went into battle to kill the enemy.

With the appearance of King Qi Lin, Gu Jinnian would definitely be suppressed, moreover, he would be firmly suppressed.

Everyone was excited.

But the people in the Shankui barracks felt a little heavy.

"Where?"

Gu Jinnian asked.

"Let's enter the city soon."

Xu Jin replied.

"How many people did he take with him?"

Gu Jinnian continued to ask.

"Four maids."

"But they are all the elite among the elite, and their strength is very strong. Even the last general can't beat any one of them."

Xu Jin thought for a while and gave this answer.

"Your Highness, King Qi Lin is really not easy to mess with."

"General Wu should be polite when he sees King Qilin."

"If you really want to talk about your status, King Qi Lin is just a little worse than the old man."

"But this little gap is due to regional issues. After all, the old man is in the capital. It's hard to say if he is out of the capital."

"You must not fight with him. If you think about it, King Qi Lin will give Duke Zhen a little face."

Xu Jin made a sound, he said a lot.

There is a meaning in the tone.

Don't provoke King Qi Lin.

Really not to be provoked.

"understood."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

The mood also seemed a little heavy.

He knew that King Qi Lin would come, but he didn't expect it to come so fast.

But sooner or later, there is nothing to worry about.

He wanted to see what King Qi Lin looked like.

Gu Jinnian didn't say much.

Instead, he continued to look at Wang Ping.

Glancing at the others again, they all burst into laughter.

It looks really happy.

At this moment.

Bailufu city entrance.

The army guards both sides.

The people in the Shankui barracks were fierce, but at this moment, they seemed extremely quiet.

city ​​entrance.

A figure slowly appeared.

It was a man, wearing a gold-plated white robe, with steady steps and eight feet tall, who appeared in front of everyone.

The man stood with his hands behind his back. He was wearing an incomparably hideous golden mask, which was intimidating.

There are four maids behind him, each wearing a mask, but not a gold mask, but a silver mask.

This is King Qi Lin.

One of the most famous princes in Daxia.

In theory, there is something wrong with using one.

Because there is only one king with a different surname in Daxia.

After the Jiande disaster, only this king with a different surname was left, and the other kings with a different surname basically died during the reign of Taizu.

And King Qilin helped Emperor Yongsheng too much, so he was awarded the title of king with a different surname.

Theoretically, the status of a king with a different surname is higher than that of a king.

king.

It is the existence with the highest status next to the emperor, but there is basically no good end for anyone who is named a king with a different surname.

Especially Taizu killed too many kings with different surnames back then, so many people would rather want to be the Duke of the state than to be crowned king.

This also led to the power of the prince, not as great as the Duke of the country.

It's normal, after all, the place where the Duke is located is the political center of the Great Xia, planning and planning major events in the world.

The prince can only manage his own territory, and he still has to pay [-]% of the tax every year, and the rest is responsible for his own profits and losses.

In the mouth of the city.

With the appearance of King Qi Lin, everything seemed very quiet.

All the soldiers looked at King Qi Lin with respect and awe in their eyes.

No matter what camp they were in, they always had a heartfelt awe of the king.

And right now.

The figure of King Qi Lin stopped.

He looks to the left.

Not far away, Kong Zhen was gagged, exposed to the scorching sun, covered in injuries, and looked extremely miserable.

see this scene.

King Qi Lin's eyes did not change, he just spoke lightly.

"Put him down."

King Qi Lin made a sound.

There is no coldness, but it has an irresistible majesty.

"My lord."

"His Royal Highness has orders."

"No one can put him down without his order."

The soldiers on the side opened their mouths, lowered their heads, and said this to King Qi Lin.

Snapped.

In an instant, a figure appeared in front of him and slapped him directly in the face.

"Do you dare to disobey the prince's order, do you want to die?"

An incomparably cold voice sounded.

A maid made a move, and the opponent's nostrils were bleeding with a slap.

"My lord."

"The military order is like a mountain, His Royal Highness has issued a military order."

The other person lowered his head and spoke with panic and helplessness in his words.

On the one hand, it was Gu Jinnian's military order.

On the one hand, it was the order of King Qi Lin.

He also felt embarrassed.

"Put people down."

King Qi Lin's voice sounded again.

This is the second time.

Everyone knew that if King Qi Lin uttered the third sentence, someone would definitely die because of it.

In the end, a commander came forward and put Kong Zhen down without saying a word.

They couldn't stand the coercion of King Qilin.

It's scary.

They really couldn't bear it. As for Gu Jinnian's military order, it wasn't that they didn't obey it, but the meaning was different.

After all, Gu Jinnian was not a general in Shankui's camp. If Wu Wangzhi asked them to bind Kong Zhen, they would never do so.

But Gu Jinnian only relied on the military talisman, without the order of the Ministry of War, and without the emperor's dragon talisman, to do this is already considered the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

After the man was put down, King Qi Lin sent out a burst of martial arts zhenqi, which poured into the latter's body, making the half-dead Kong Zhen gradually regain his vigor.

"King Qi Lin?"

"Is it the prince?"

"My lord, you are finally here, my lord."

After regaining consciousness, Kong Zhen found that the person in front of him was King Qi Lin, and was very excited for a moment, wanting to express all the grievances in his heart.

He has suffered a lot in the past two days.

It is a great pain.

Gu Jinnian is not human.

"Mr. Kong is at ease."

"Everything belongs to my king."

King Qi Lin made a sound, lightly comforted him, and then looked at the group of soldiers.

"Remember this king."

"In the west, apart from His Majesty, the king's orders are military orders."

"Wu Wangzhi is here, and he dare not disobey the king's order."

"If you dare to do this again next time, you will die."

King Qi Lin spoke lightly.

After saying this, he walked towards the Bailu mansion.

In the eyes of everyone, although these words were plain, they were deeply imprinted in their hearts.

This is King Qi Lin.

The only king with a different surname in Daxia.

It is indeed domineering.

It is indeed arrogant.

But what silenced their hearts was that he was absolutely right.

The Western Territory is indeed in his hands.

As long as the emperor is not present in person, King Qilin is the emperor of the western region, the only king of the western region.

The supreme king.

soon.

Inside Bailu Mansion.

Gu Jinnian didn't look heavy because of King Qi Lin's arrival, but was just waiting for Wang Ping's answer.

Just, at this moment.

There was a commotion among the people outside.

In the government office, all the officials became more excited, they knew that it must be King Qi Lin who came.

All of a sudden, whether it was outside or inside, it seemed lively.

"Gu Jinnian."

"It's really a great official authority."

man future.

The voice has already come.

Very bland.

No anger.

Not vicious either.

But this flat tone, on the contrary, has a more powerful momentum.

Hear this voice.

In the government office.

Gu Jinnian sat quietly, waiting for the arrival of the first king with a different surname in Great Xia.

next moment.

figure appeared.

Eight feet tall, with the steps of a dragon and a tiger, a white jade robe, and a golden hideous mask.

The figure of King Qi Lin appeared.

Step by step, step by step, he walked to the front of the government office. Under the golden mask, his eyes were full of calm.

No disdain, no arrogance, no condescension.

but ignore.

Indifferent to all eyes.

This is king.

The first king with a different surname in Daxia.

He has been in the field for a long time, has been in a high position all year round, and his martial arts strength has cultivated a trend.

An unparalleled momentum.

To be honest, Gu Jinnian's aura is no match for King Qi Lin.

This is inevitable.

But the righteousness in Gu Jinnian's body made him not afraid of the opponent's kingly spirit.

But even if he didn't want to admit it, Gu Jinnian had to admit it.

This King Qi Lin is indeed very different.

The aura is also good.

Eyes worth mentioning.

Whether it is status or status, they are indeed stronger than themselves.

But so what?
The difference between the two is close to 20 years. After 20 years, Gu Jinnian has absolute confidence to surpass King Qi Lin.

So he has no fear.

Fearless from the heart.

"I'll wait to see the prince."

"I'll wait to see the prince."

All of a sudden, all the civil servants spoke together and bowed to King Qi Lin.

As for General Changfei and others, they bowed down directly.

People in the Shankui barracks should also respectfully call out the prince.

With his appearance.

Suppress everything.

However, Gu Jinnian did not salute respectfully, but looked at Kong Zhen beside him with a somewhat expressionless face.

"The official authority of this son, there is King Qi Lin."

"This son's military order is like a piece of waste paper in the eyes of the prince. You can tear it up if you want. This is the real official authority."

Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.

He answered the voice of King Qilin.

"You also have a military order?"

"Something happened to Zhen Guo Gongjiao."

When King Qi Lin spoke, it wasn't contempt or disdain, but a kind of indifference, a question, and a little curiosity.

This is very direct.

He almost scolded Gu Jinnian for being inhuman.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was overjoyed, and Zhou He and others burst into laughter.

Good scolding.

That's how it should be called.

"It's not your turn to take care of what my grandfather teaches."

"I'm curious, what kind of things does my uncle raise?"

"Isn't it obedient to give you a bone?"

"According to me, a dog that breaks the rules should be killed."

"It's useless to keep it."

Facing the ridicule of King Qi Lin.

Gu Jinnian was not used to it.

What about the prince?
It's not wrong to scold.

But the other party is yin and yang, and Gu Jinnian is also yin and yang.

"presumptuous."

"Bold."

In an instant, two voices sounded, one was from the maid beside King Qi Lin, and the other was General Changfei.

Both of them spoke together, and angrily reprimanded Gu Jinnian.

A powerful coercion surged like mountains and seas in an instant.

Press towards Gu Jinnian.

But right now.

A voice sounded faintly.

"His Royal Highness."

"Be patient."

"Those who did it, the subordinates have already recorded them all."

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, this subordinate is not capable of other abilities, but he still has the ability to escape."

"When the subordinates arrive in Kyoto, this list will be handed over to Duke Zhen as soon as possible."

"The humiliation you have suffered now, I think the old man will help you repay it ten times."

sounded.

It was Su Huaiyu's voice.

crucial moment.

He appeared.

However, he stood at the entrance of the government office, holding a small booklet, and drew the appearance of these people.

Yep.

As expected of you.

Following Su Huaiyu's voice, the two of them lost their momentum in an instant, because King Qi Lin hadn't issued an order yet, so it was really inappropriate for them to do so privately.

It's okay to say it to others, but the person you're targeting is Gu Jinnian, so you really need to be more careful.

"Do you think this king is afraid of Lord Zhen?"

King Qi Lin's voice sounded.

He didn't look back, just opened his mouth lightly.

"My lord is definitely not afraid."

"But this subordinate can assure you that you can move the prince now."

"You can prepare for the funeral. To put it bluntly, the old man stepped half of his foot into the coffin. Before he died, it is not a bad thing to drag a prince down to be buried with him."

Su Huaiyu's voice also turned cold.

This is the first time his face is so cold.

But what he said was not wrong at all.

No one knows how strong Zhen Guogong is, but before Jiande was difficult, Zhen Guogong was a strong man of Wu Wang's Great Perfection. No one knows whether he has broken through to the sixth realm.

But King Qi Lin is only at the Martial King Realm, and may also be Dzogchen, but he is definitely not as good as Zhen Guogong.

Zhen Guogong went crazy, it's really not a big problem to take away a Qilin king.

It is nothing more than whether it is necessary.

The government office is very quiet.

This has risen to the level of killing each other, and the topic is very heavy.

"This king will give Duke Zhen a face."

"But only once."

"Gu Jinnian, cherish it well, if it wasn't for Duke Zhen, you would have died just now."

King Qi Lin made a faint sound.

He didn't choose to be aggressive, but inside and outside the words, he was still extremely domineering.

"If you were not King Qi Lin, you would have died just now."

At this moment, a voice sounded, but it was not Gu Jinnian who spoke, but Su Huaiyu.

In the government office.

Gu Jinnian couldn't help frowning, why did this guy become like this all of a sudden?
Made, is that too arrogant?
To be honest, King Qi Lin was a bit domineering, but he also cursed back, and the two sides tied in the first round.

In the second round, King Qi Lin was only using his tongue, so there was no need to go back like this.

Forcibly angering King Qi Lin is not a wise thing to do.

From the beginning to the end, although Gu Jinnian seemed reckless, everything he could do was weighed, what should be done, what should not be done, who could and who could not, Gu Jinnian knew it in his heart.

There is no need for Su Huaiyu to choke back these words.

Even if he said it, he said it himself. What he said would cause trouble.

really.

As Su Huaiyu turned back like this, King Qi Lin slowly turned around.

His gaze was extremely calm, looking at Su Huaiyu was like looking at a dead person.

"Gu Jinnian's grandfather is the Duke of Zhen Guo, and this king will give Duke Zhen a face."

"What are you?"

King Qi Lin's voice was indifferent.

Upon hearing this.

Su Huaiyu took a deep breath, then said coldly.

"What am I?"

"Then please listen carefully, King Qi Lin."

"My name is Su Huaiyu, the one who was born in the summer."

"Would you like to touch me, my lord?"

"I really want to see whether it is the fate of the king or the fate of heaven."

This time Su Huaiyu was completely hardened.

In the past, he basically ran away as soon as he encountered danger, but he didn't expect to be so stubborn today.

And he still dared to annoy King Qi Lin.

It's really a cow.

boom.

In an instant, the maid next to King Qi Lin made a move. Obviously, King Qi Lin is very domineering, and he is really not afraid of fate.

But at this moment, Su Huaiyu quickly took out a gold token from his bosom.

The voice roared.

"The Great Xia Dragon Talisman is here."

"Who dares to make a mistake."

When he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned for a moment, even King Qi Lin had a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

Gu Jinnian felt even more incredible in his heart.

Su Huaiyu has the Great Xia Dragon Talisman?

This is the emperor's secret order, representing the supreme imperial power.

Half a Dragon Talisman can mobilize a hundred thousand troops.

A whole dragon talisman can dispatch a military camp.

If it is matched with the Tiger Talisman of the Ministry of War, all the barracks in Daxia will have to obey orders.

This dragon talisman is equivalent to the emperor's military power. It is supreme, and even the crown prince cannot own it. Basically, it can only be held in the emperor's hands.

"Seeing this dragon talisman, why don't you bow down?"

Su Huaiyu roared loudly.

At that moment, everyone reacted and bowed to the dragon talisman one after another.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

But King Qi Lin didn't worship, but just looked at the dragon talisman, and finally there was some other emotion in his eyes.

It is doubt.

Obviously, he was suspecting that this dragon talisman was fake.

"According to His Majesty's secret decree, His Royal Highness Gu Jinnian is sent to Jiangling County to investigate the secret case."

"Your Majesty gave Gu Jinnian all powers, dispatch, arrest, interrogation, and all the privileges of beheading first and then reporting, but the truth must be found out, and anyone who obstructs the process of handling the case can be executed."

"Shan Kui's barracks will fully cooperate, as if I'm here in person."

Su Huaiyu spoke loudly and recited the oral instructions.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at King Qi Lin and said sharply.

"You still haven't paid your respects to His Majesty?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Su Huaiyu roared angrily, his eyes were cold.

Hearing this, King Qi Lin still had curiosity and doubts in his eyes.

But in the end, he still lowered his head and opened his mouth slowly.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

King Qi Lin made a sound.

But speak up immediately.

"This dragon talisman, I don't recognize it."

"The title Long Live is a respect for His Majesty."

He speaks.

It is suspected that this is fake, but the reason for bowing your head is very simple.

It's not a question of whether to gamble or not, but a question of respect or disrespect, and even those who are fake must be respected, because he is a king with a different surname.

But if there is a little mistake, it is easy to cause trouble, especially when it involves Emperor Yongsheng.

"Whether it's true or not, my lord can go to Kyoto to inquire now."

"The dragon talisman is here, this is true, dare to be disrespectful, and kill the nine clans."

Su Huaiyu didn't care if he believed it or not, but just threatened him coldly, then came to Gu Jinnian and handed the token to Gu Jinnian.

"His Royal Highness, please take charge of the dragon talisman and avenge the people."

With a solemn expression, Su Huaiyu handed over the Dragon Talisman to Gu Jinnian.

"Students, you must live up to the grace of the Holy One."

Gu Jinnian took the dragon talisman.

very heavy.

If you look carefully, there is nothing wrong with either the carving method or the pattern.

Gu Jinnian also has a piece of Great Summer Golden Token, whether it is of good texture or texture, it feels almost the same, there is no difference at all.

It is indeed a dragon talisman.

But the question is, why did you give the Dragon Talisman to Su Huaiyu?Instead of giving it directly to yourself?

To put it bluntly, even the crown prince would not be willing to give this dragon talisman to Su Huaiyu.

Don't say that King Qi Lin doesn't believe it.

Gu Jinnian didn't believe it either.

But Gu Jinnian was also curious, that is, did Su Huaiyu find anything in Qingyuan Temple.

However, it seemed that he knew what Gu Jinnian was thinking. Su Huaiyu sent a voice transmission, but no clues were found, but Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Yunrou continued to investigate.

At the same time, he looked at the dragon talisman in front of him and nodded. Instead of transmitting the sound, he gave Gu Jinnian a hint.

One is a hint of the real dragon talisman.

For a moment, Gu Jinnian couldn't help being shocked.

Although he didn't know why His Majesty handed over the Dragon Talisman to Su Huaiyu, he didn't think it was impossible.

Especially Su Huaiyu is so serious.

In addition, this guy never does risky things, which means that this dragon talisman may be real.

present.

After receiving the Dragon Talisman.

Gu Jinnian had great confidence in his heart.

The greatest pressure that King Qi Lin put on him was not his personal strength, but his authority.

Military orders are like mountains.

Every order I give, the Shankui army will seriously implement it, let them attack and they will attack.

Let them kill the enemy and they will kill the enemy.

But after King Qilin appeared, he rescued Kong Zhen immediately. Wasn't the reason why he wanted to destroy his military might?

After all, I am taking advantage of the situation, not my own situation.

The Shankui army didn't dare to really offend King Qi Lin, or they couldn't bear it under the pressure of King Qi Lin.

But it's different now.

Master the Dragon Talisman.

I am still taking advantage of it.

What can be borrowed is the power of the imperial power.

The previous imperial decree did not contain much gold, and I had no idea.

Kelong Talisman.

decide everything.

Seeing orders is like seeing me.

These five words are enough to explain everything.

"King Qilin."

"You put Kong Zhen down?"

Gu Jinnian said lightly, with the Dragon Talisman, he is full of confidence, and this time he is not afraid of making trouble.

Just dry.

"Correct."

King Qi Lin stood with his hands behind his back, and replied calmly.

"Who gave you power?"

"You don't know, is this the order of my son?"

Gu Jinnian questioned aloud.

"know."

"so what?"

"What right do you have to tie the great Confucian of the Confucian family to a stake?"

"You are humiliating the saint. Although this king is a warrior, he also likes to read and knows how to respect the saint."

"And you, who are obviously a scholar, insult the saint like this. This is why I am curious about what Duke Zhen has taught you."

King Qilin was not afraid and ignored the dragon talisman.

"The descendants of the Kong family are saints?"

"The descendants of the Kong family will not do wrong?"

"What books have the prince read these years?"

"An idiot like you doesn't need to study, just be a good martial artist, do your job honestly, don't just know how to bark."

With the Dragon Talisman, Gu Jinnian was not used to King Qi Lin.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, 20 troops have been dispatched, so what if there is one more crime?

At worst, I will be locked up for another year.

Be mentally prepared.

"This king has endured you twice."

"If you dare to say one more thing, believe it or not, this king will teach you for the Duke?"

King Qi Lin made a sound.

It's not that he has no temper, it's that he doesn't want to pay attention to Gu Jinnian, but he can't stand Gu Jinnian's repeated insults.

But when he said this, Gu Jinnian was a little annoyed.

This man is really domineering.

Obviously he was the one who was aggressive first, and what he said was that his grandfather had taught him something.

Now it seems as if he is the one who speaks rudely?
This King Qi Lin is really arrogant to the extreme, domineering to the extreme, and arrogant to the extreme.

Snapped.

Gu Jinnian directly placed the Dragon Talisman on the desk, his face turned cold.

"The dragon talisman is here."

"If the king of Qilin moves this son, the Shankui army will give me orders to surround and kill the [-] cavalry of the king of Qilin, and then go to the Shankui barracks to dispatch the last [-] troops to step on the palace for me to defeat the enemy and kill the general. "

"Within three days, King Qi's army will be removed from Great Xia."

"King Qilin."

"This son wants to see, do you dare to teach me for my grandfather?"

Gu Jinnian was really on fire.

When I came up, I broke my military prestige, and then I kept looking at myself with an attitude of indifference, just like an adult looking at a child. It's not that I underestimated you, but I never took you seriously.

Be aggressive first, speak rudely, and then speak arrogantly here.

To be honest, even if King Qi Lin communicated with him normally, Gu Jinnian would not be so angry if you fight with each other.

Even if King Qi Lin used some things to impeach him, Gu Jinnian really didn't know how to answer.

May suffer.

But this guy is too arrogant and arrogant, so he doesn't regard himself as a human being at all.

Then Gu Jinnian wanted to see who was crazier than the other.

"Destroy my King Qi's army? You really don't know how to live or die."

"Then you order to have a look."

King Qi Lin is really a ruthless character, he was not frightened by Gu Jinnian's words at all.

To be honest, the expression of the Changfei General beside him changed.

He knew how crazy Gu Jinnian was.

Zhou He and the others also changed their expressions.

Others may just have a mouthful, but Gu Jinnian really dares to do such a thing.

Snapped.

"Shan Kui's army obeys orders."

"The king of Qilin doesn't respect the sacred will, he doesn't respect the dragon talisman, he already has the heart of rebellion, the intention of causing chaos, and those who don't respect the dragon talisman are disrespecting the holy majesty. This is a serious crime of conspiracy."

"Kill me, slaughter all [-] cavalry."

"Go all the way to the west, break through the Qilin Palace, and destroy its nine clans."

"quick!"

"go with!"

At the end of Gu Jinnian's speech, he slapped the dragon talisman on the table.

come.

Crazier than anyone, right?
Who is more ruthless, right?
Then have a look.

See if you, King Qi Lin, are also crazy?
Let's see if you, King Qi Lin, dare to gamble with your own army.

Don't say anything about the whole army being wiped out.

Even if these [-] cavalry were killed, the Qi Lin King could live in peace of mind.

What does one hundred thousand cavalry mean?It means an invincible force, and the Great Xia Dynasty needs to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to cultivate [-] cavalry.

These are soldiers and horses accumulated by King Qilin from generation to generation.

One hundred thousand cavalry is gone, and although there are other types of troops left, in the eyes of the Great Xia Dynasty, they are completely arbitrary existences.

cavalry.

It is the strongest arm, no one, one cavalry is better than ten infantry.

And after killing your [-] cavalry, the horses, weapons, and armor were all taken away by the household department. After three to five years, the Daxia military department will have an additional [-] cavalry.

It is a good thing for the court.

And if you really want to say it, it is really a great thing for Gu Jinnian to dare to kill, especially for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After all, Gu Jinnian will take the blame.

Blood earned.

It's blood money.

Of course, if he really did this, he might not be able to keep Gu Jinnian even if Lord Zhen Guo resigned.

The Gu family sacrificed everything, maybe they could keep Gu Jinnian.

So who is the happiest?

Imperial court.

The two biggest hidden dangers are gone in one breath, and it is still profitable to recover the twelve border cities.

Now it's up to King Qi Lin whether he dares to bet or not.

Quiet.

Extremely quiet.

King Qi Lin was also silent.

If the person in front of him was Marquis of Linyang or other princes, King Qi Lin would not be afraid.

He is fearless.

But the person in front of him was Gu Jinnian, in his opinion he was just a kid.

But it was because the person in front of him was a brat, so he understood better that Gu Jinnian really dared to do this.

"The command of the last general."

After being quiet for a while, a voice finally sounded and responded.

It was Xu Jin's voice.

If he doesn't answer again, he won't show it to Gu Jinnian, to be precise, he won't give the emperor face.

That is a capital offense.

"enough."

At this moment, King Qi Lin's voice sounded.

Stop Xu Jin from leaving.

If this happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Hearing King Qi Lin's voice, Gu Jinnian's face remained unchanged.

"This is the end of the matter."

King Qi Lin continued to speak.

He didn't want to make trouble anymore.

no need.

It is a kind of softness.

"Is this your attitude so far?"

Gu Jinnian didn't give face at all.

Do you have to go this far by yourself before you are willing to give in?

Also, is this how soft clothes are served?

Can't the attitude be better?
scare who?
"You don't have to go too far."

King Qi Lin made a sound, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

It's not calm anymore.

This is a good thing.

It's easy to deal with if you break the defense, but you're afraid of not breaking the defense. That kind of talent is the real terror.

"Is it the prince who is aggressive, or this son who is aggressive?"

Gu Jinnian said coldly.

King Qi Lin broke his military might as soon as he came up, how could Gu Jinnian make him feel better?
It is also necessary to kill his spirit.

Otherwise, the following things will be difficult to handle.

"it is good."

"It's true that this king made some slips of the tongue just now."

"It's the king's fault."

"Is it enough?"

King Qi Lin gradually calmed down.

He didn't want to make trouble anymore.

After all, it's still one thing, the one hundred thousand army is in the hands of Gu Jinnian.

If he wasn't there, he definitely wouldn't look like this.

"Come on."

"Tie Kong Zhen to the city gate again."

"As before, every half an hour, whip a whip."

"This time, whoever dares to put him down other than this son, no matter who it is, will be killed without mercy."

"Those who violate the military order will be killed without mercy."

Gu Jinnian did not answer, but issued another military order.

Tie Kong Zhen back again.

The purpose of this approach is simple.

It is declaring sovereignty.

"Gu Jinnian, do you dare?"

"I am a great Confucian of the Confucian family, I am a great Confucian of the Confucian family."

"Gu Jinnian, aren't you afraid of completely offending my Kong family?"

"My lord, my lord, help me, my lord."

Kong Zhen's face was ugly, he never thought, why would he be tied back again?
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't follow here.

Isn't it all right?

Facing Kong Zhen's call for help.

King Qi Lin didn't say a word.

He knew that Gu Jinnian was re-establishing his military prestige.

If you intervene, the result will not change much, it is better to be silent.

But silence is not fear.

Nor is it a compromise.

but another option.

"His Royal Highness."

"Now that King Qi Lin is here, I think the investigation should be the main thing."

"Wang Ping."

"King Qi Lin is here. What do you know? Tell me quickly. Your son and King Qi Lin are here to keep your family safe."

"If you keep secretive, you won't have a chance to say it."

Zhou He's voice sounded.

He smoothed things over and brought the subject back to the case.

It's just that these words have different meanings everywhere.

Extremely disgusting.

But before Gu Jinnian could speak, Su Huaiyu suddenly drew out his long knife and slapped Zhou He on the mouth.

Zhou He's lips were swollen on the spot, and several teeth were directly broken.

All of a sudden, everyone couldn't help looking at Su Huaiyu.

Even King Qi Lin couldn't help looking at Su Huaiyu.

This is a bit harsh.

Even Gu Jinnian was just slapped in the face before.

Su Huaiyu is really ruthless.

A lot of teeth were broken, and Zhou He's veins swelled in pain, his whole body was shaking, and his mouth was full of blood.

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice handles the case. If an adult interrogates, whoever dares to intervene will end up like this."

"Master Zhou, you are lucky. This is not the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If it were the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you would have lost your tongue."

"But if anyone dares to intervene next, the speed at which Su cuts his tongue is definitely slightly faster than the speed at which the prince can strike."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Su Huaiyu looked very serious.

He was from the Ministry of Punishment. Zhou He's behavior was collusion and threat. Cutting out his tongue was in accordance with the law.

It's just that his official position is too high, so it's fine to cut his tongue, but next time he won't have a chance.

Listen to Su Huaiyu's voice.

Gu Jinnian couldn't help feeling emotional.

Although this guy is not serious on weekdays, he is really serious and serious when handling a case.

It is only by the presence of such people that these officials can be deterred.

Zhou He covered his mouth, completely speechless this time, tears streaming down his face, because it hurt too much.

"Go back to your lord."

"The villain really just lied to him, and the villain doesn't know why he believes so."

"Maybe there is no way, that's the only way."

"Also please learn from me, my lord."

Wang Ping opened his mouth, knelt on the ground, and cried.

He also had a mental breakdown.

He was afraid of Gu Jinnian, but he was even more afraid of other people.

get this answer.

Gu Jinnian was a little silent.

It's different when King Qi Lin comes.

Wang Ping was still a little shaken before, but now he is not wavering at all.

"His Royal Highness."

"The Ministry of Punishment has a special method called Soul Search."

"His Royal Highness, do you want to give it a try?"

Seeing the tense situation, Su Huaiyu opened his mouth slowly and told him that there was a secret method of searching for souls.

"Can you find his memory?"

Gu Jinnian was surprised. He had heard about soul searching techniques, but he didn't expect Su Huaiyu to really know it.

"Soul search cannot find other people's memories."

"It's about making the other party fascinated and taking this opportunity to interrogate him. During this period of time, what he said must be true."

"It's like Confucianism and Taoism asking the heart."

"It's just that after searching for the soul, people will definitely die."

Su Huaiyu spoke out and told Gu Jinnian the effect of the soul search technique.

It is not to directly obtain the memory of the other party.

"it is good."

"Pursuing wealth and killing one's life will surely lead to death, so search for the soul directly."

"If it is true that he has something to hide, he will be punished by the nine clans."

Gu Jinnian nodded and directly agreed with Su Huaiyu's plan.

In an instant, two voices sounded.

"I recruit, His Royal Highness, I recruit."

"inappropriate."

The first voice was Wang Ping's opening. Hearing that there was also a soul search technique, he directly recruited it. If he didn't recruit it, the Nine Clans would die.

Recruited at least have a chance.

And the second voice was the voice of King Qi Lin.

He directly vetoed it.

"Say it."

Gu Jinnian ignored King Qi Lin and asked Wang Ping instead.

"Returning to my lord, I do have a token of Zhang Ming's wife and daughter, which was given to me by Wang Yong. This matter has something to do with the Lord of the Bailu Mansion."

Wang Ping opened his mouth and explained directly.

At that moment, Gu Jinnian heaved a sigh of relief.

However, King Qi Lin couldn't help getting up directly, and looked at Wang Ping incomparably coldly.

"Bold."

King Qi Lin spoke up, and Su Huaiyu felt bad for an instant.
