"That day, Ling Yun kidnapped Lu Wenzheng and tried to escape from the prison. He encountered you on the way. You seemed to have said some unintelligible words to Ling Yun, which caused Ling Yun to retort, saying that you had something to do with Tian Xiao's people - what do you do to this? What’s the explanation?”
In the imperial study, the emperor ordered Feng Chaoying to summon Li Zhishan, the commander of the imperial guards, and looked at him coldly and asked.
Li Zhishan's expression suddenly changed, and the blood all over his body seemed to rush to his head. He bit his lip involuntarily and said urgently: "How can the words of the rebellious minister and traitor be taken seriously? Your Majesty, I guarantee with the head on my neck that this is not the case!"
"Really?" The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, with an unfathomable depth.
"This is obviously Ling Yun's cry to catch the thief and disturb the morale of the army!" When he said this, Li Zhishan felt his heart beating hard, and his hands hidden under his sleeves were shaking uncontrollably.
The emperor did not speak, but looked at him expressionlessly, waiting for his next words.
Li Zhishan breathed out gently from his throat, lowered his head, and tried to calm down the turbulent struggle in his heart. When he spoke again, he was already calm.
"Because of the Crown Prince's case, Lu Wenzheng and Ling Yun were thrown into the sky prison. Just imagine, if Ling Yun was really wronged, he would be waiting peacefully in the sky jail for us to verify the evidence and restore his innocence. But he chose to go to jail instead. Arson in prison, murder and escape, this only shows that he has something evil in his heart!"
"Oh? There may be a reason for this, but I don't know." There was a trace of confusion in the emperor's eyes.
"It seems that the emperor's heart is still with Ling Yun! After all, some things still have to rely on nepotism. After all, Ling Yun was also the husband of Princess Huanyu and the emperor's sister-in-law!
"By the way, I almost forgot, Ling Yun is the son of Princess Chang Qing and the emperor's cousin - hmph, this foolish king is only thinking about human relationships..."
Li Zhishan complained in his heart, but his face remained calm.
He straightened out his somewhat messy thoughts and talked eloquently, "Even if there was a reason for Lingyun Tianlao's arson and murderous escape; then after he escaped from Tianlao, why didn't he come directly to the palace to explain the whole matter to the Holy One, so that the prince's case would be solved? The truth will be revealed to the world, and at the same time, he will also be innocent?
"Instead, he went around in such a big circle, choosing to change his appearance, sneak into the palace, and do many lawless things; until later, he sneaked into the prison and kidnapped Lu Wenzheng; he even complained first and then bit back, saying that Wei Chen and Tian Xiao The people have something to do with it!
"Your Majesty, this Ling Yun is simply treasonous and extremely vicious; his wolfish ambitions are obvious! If we catch him, even if he is to be cut into pieces and sentenced to death, it will not be an exaggeration!"
Li Zhishan's words were impassioned, and the first words were in line with the emperor's wishes and coincided with some of the emperor's thoughts. Later, Li Zhishan's words became more and more intense, and his derogatory remarks against Ling Yun reached the extreme, even a bit unpalatable. , even Feng Chaoying on the side couldn't listen.
"Okay, stop talking!..." The emperor felt his anger rising, and he couldn't help but snap at the case, and shouted to stop.
Li Zhishan was startled and stopped hurriedly. Facing the emperor's thunderous wrath, he did not dare to express his anger, and a chill seemed to run down his back.
The emperor's pupils tightened, and it seemed as if blazing flames were about to burst out from his eyes. He clenched his palms involuntarily, and the tips of his fingers dug hard into his palms, but he felt no pain at all.
"Pass the message, offer a reward of 100,000 silver, and go all out to capture Ling Yun. If the suspect cannot be captured within ten days, come and see him!"
"Yes, Wei Chen received the order." Li Zhishan said tremblingly.
There seemed to be a layer of frost on the emperor's face, and his tone became solemn and gloomy, and he specially emphasized his tone, "As long as we can capture the trouble, we will do it at any cost!"
Li Zhishan was secretly happy, but his face remained calm. He knew that in this thrilling battle of wits and courage, he could barely win by relying on his super ability to adapt to the situation.
"Respect the Holy Order. As long as the suspect can be captured, I will spare no effort and go all out!" After Li Zhishan said these words in a humble tone, he stood up respectfully, bowed his eyebrows and retreated.
Looking at Li Zhishan's retreating back, the emperor's originally gloomy eyes became deep and distant.
He was silent for a long time, then sat down slumped, lying on the desks as if exhausted. He put one arm on the desks, rested his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes tiredly, and calmed down.
Feng Chaoying on the side looked at the emperor's uncertain face, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, I'll go arrange the meal delivery!"
"Later." The emperor said weakly.
He slowly opened his eyes, frowned and thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to Feng Chaoying for advice, "Chaoying, what do you think of what just happened?"
"What?..." The emperor's words came out of nowhere, leaving Feng Chaoying confused for a moment.
"It's about Ling Yun. What do you think?" The emperor was a little impatient.
"This... this matter in the court, I dare not say anything." Feng Chaoying came back to his senses and murmured.
"I just want to hear your opinion on this matter. There is no need to be so reserved. Just tell me what you think. No matter whether it is right or wrong, I will not punish you." The emperor looked at him with bright eyes full of hope. he said.
With the emperor's support and encouragement, Feng Chaoying gradually became more courageous. He swallowed lightly and said with a bit of probing meaning: "What your Majesty means is that on one side is the rhetoric of Prince Jinling and Princess Huanyu; on the other side is the rhetoric of Commander Li, asking the servant to tell his story Opinions, which side do you support?”
"Exactly." The emperor nodded and thought to himself: "He is indeed my chief chamberlain. His heart is like a clear mirror, and he can see through everything!"
"Some people say that Ling Yun is a loyal minister and a righteous man, while others say that he is a traitor and traitor. What do you think?" The emperor looked at him without blinking.
Feng Chaoying lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, then Fang Nana spoke, "I think that all conjectures cannot be used as evidence. What is needed is solid and powerful evidence - whether Ling Yun is loyal or traitorous, we just need to catch him." , and through rigorous interrogation, won’t everything come to light?”
"You are a good gentleman, you have everything you want, and you don't offend anyone!" The emperor looked at him angrily and laughed, with a somewhat teasing tone.
"Your Majesty..." A forced smile appeared on Feng Chaoying's face.
"Okay, you go down and pass the meal." The emperor raised his eyebrows casually and waved at him.
Feng Chaoying quickly said "yes" and walked out with his head lowered.
When he reached the door, he stopped again and added: "Your Majesty, in fact, this servant has always felt from the bottom of his heart - Ling Yun is not that kind of person..."
"What?" The emperor probably didn't hear clearly and couldn't help asking.
"Oh, it's nothing, I didn't say anything..." Feng Chaoying said in panic; then he went out in a panic.
"Old fox." The emperor was speechless and rolled his eyes at him.
However, Li Zhishan came out of the emperor's study and immediately started to arrange the emperor's decree without stopping.
After some planning and arrangement, all the states and governments were heavily guarded, and the task of hunting down the imperial criminals was intensively deployed; even the guards at the city gate tower were assigned extra manpower.
It can be said that there are fortifications and checkpoints everywhere; pictures and notices of arresting important criminals are posted in every corner of the country, and the reward conditions listed on the notices are even more mouth-watering:
"If the report is true and the arrest is successful, a reward of 50,000 taels of silver will be given; if a prisoner of the imperial court is captured directly and delivered to the government, a reward of 100,000 taels of silver will be given!"
One hundred thousand taels of silver, what a tempting reward! This is a huge amount of money that most people dare not even think about and cannot earn in many lifetimes.
As long as you have these one hundred thousand taels of silver, you, your family and even your descendants can live a good life with abundant food and clothing, which is hard to find among gods. You no longer have to run around and work hard for a living, and you can change your life from now on. He changed his appearance and became a rich man.
This is the life that many people dream of!
So people went crazy, farmers went on strike, merchants went on strike, and even the scholars who said "everything is low-grade but only good at reading" put aside their books and went "Taobao" with the crazy people.
Each of them holds a drawing of Lingyun in their arms and digs deep into the ground to search for the target they are looking for.
At the same time, the imperial bodyguards headed by Li Zhishan, people from the Ding Mansion, people from the Marquis Mansion, people from the Jinling Palace, and people from the Tianxiao Organization are all trying their best to find Ling Yun - although they have different thoughts and different purposes. But the goal is the same.
Ling Yun, the legendary figure who once combined martial arts legends, case handling legends, life experience legends, experience legends, etc., with his extraordinary influence, has once again become the man with mixed praise, praise and praise in people's minds. A controversial and topical figure.
Once again, it shocked the government and the public, inside and outside the capital, and even the whole world. Earth-shattering, all-powerful - truly shocking.
People have searched for him thousands of times, but no matter how much they look back, they still don’t know where he is!
——The strange thing is that Ling Yun, whom people have racked their brains and tried their best to search for, seems to have evaporated in the world, and there has been no trace of him for several days.
Ling Yun could not be found, and everyone was anxious and panicked.
The people in the Tianxiao organization felt even more confused.
Because that day after Ling Yun was forced to jump off the cliff by Bai Yu and others, Taoist priest Bai Yu personally led a group of Tian Xiao disciples around to the bottom of the cliff and launched a meticulous and thorough search.
But apart from a patch of dripping blood and some messy pieces of clothing where he jumped off the cliff, no suspicious traces were seen.
They all say, "You want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you're dead." But now you can't see either living people or corpses. So what's going on?
Could it be that they were eaten by wolves, insects, tigers and leopards below the cliff? But looking at all the signs, it doesn't look like it.
Taoist priest Bai Yu couldn't help but twist his eyebrows into a tight knot.
Is this Ling Yun dead or alive? If you are lucky enough to survive, where will you go? …
