A young eunuch walked out of the door and shouted: "Xuanwannian County Detective Ye Sanlang has an audience!"

"Here, here, little father-in-law." As he replied, Ye Sanlang felt depressed for a while. There were so many rules in this palace. He and he were obviously no more than ten steps away, yet he still screamed like this.

The little eunuch seemed to have never seen this kind of people before, with a look of surprise in his eyes. How could the emperor summon such a vulgar person? However, thinking of the recent rumors, he nodded, thinking of these people with special skills. Most heroes just lack etiquette. He took two steps forward and said, "Master Ye, please follow me. The emperor and the general are waiting for you." After saying that, he turned around and walked into the palace.

Seeing him walking away, Ye Sanlang quickly followed him.

As soon as he entered the Manna Hall, he was surprised. Along the way, the decorations of each temple were extremely luxurious, but the decoration in the Manna Hall was a little simple, no different from ordinary people. Could this be Emperor Xuanzong's daily reading? place? He slightly understood why there was such a prosperous period as Dou Mi Shi Wen during the Kaiyuan Year.

It is now the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan. Emperor Xuanzong has not yet brought Yang Yuhuan into the palace, the Yang family has not yet caused trouble in Chang'an, and Li Linfu has not yet been thrown into the wild. It is rumored that the emperor will not go to court early. It will be many years later, at least now Emperor Xuanzong He also has a very clear mind and lofty ambitions.

After pushing open the door, the little eunuch walked to the door consciously and stopped talking.

Ye Sanlang was no longer polite and walked straight into the imperial study room admired by countless scholars. There was a faint scent of sandalwood floating in the room, and there were bookcases filled with books everywhere. In the middle of the wall hung a large Chinese character "Family, Country, World". The writing was vigorous and it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.

In the huge study room, in the middle of the wall is a desk wrapped in yellow cloth. There is a person sitting on it. There are many memorials in front of it. Behind him stands an old man dressed as a eunuch. Gao Lishi.

Hearing his footsteps coming in, the man raised his head. Oops! The man's yellow robe was embroidered with a gorgeous pattern of dragons rising from the sea, and his eyes as black as ink jade shot out with a frightening light. Although he was just sitting there, he was invisibly releasing a kind of domineering power that dominated the world. He was so angry that he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

This, is this Emperor Xuanzong? Is he the ruler of the world today? Is this the legendary emperor sitting in the Mingtang?

Just after crossing the threshold a few movies, he stopped moving and didn't know what to do. The nervousness of meeting the emperor for the first time surrounded him, and he didn't even know where to put his hands.

Li Longji was also looking at the legendary Chang'an No. 1 sword with interest and nodded approvingly. Seemingly sensing his predicament, he turned around and whispered, "General, why don't you step back for a moment."

Gao Lishi showed an expression of surprise. Based on his decades of friendship with Emperor Xuanzong, no matter who came in the past, he was always present except for particularly important times. Xuanzong never asked him to step down, but Today is just a meeting with a small policeman, why should we ask him to step down?

But after all, Gao Lishi has been a veteran for decades. He knows Li Longji's thoughts well, and there must be a reason for him to do this.

"Yes, then the old slave will leave first. The old slave is right outside the door. If the emperor needs it, just call him." After saying that, he walked towards the door. When he passed by Ye Sanlang, he also said: He nodded approvingly, then turned around and closed the door.

"Ye Sanlang, you don't have to restrain yourself, just sit in front of me."

"Go back to the emperor, how can I be equal to the emperor despite my virtues?" Ye Sanlang approached the desk, but did not sit down. Instead, he stood four steps away from Emperor Xuanzong so that he could hear him clearly.

Emperor Xuanzong did not embarrass him, but asked directly: "You have become famous in Chang'an in recent days. I wonder how your injury is?"

"Back to the Emperor, I just woke up today. Although I'm fine, I can't do strenuous activities yet."

"Yes, he is indeed a man. He was so seriously injured, and he was able to stand in front of me like this in three days." Li Longji pondered for a moment, and asked for no reason: "But, do you think you are like this now?" What do you think about the situation? Everyone in Chang'an City is talking about your deeds, and countless people worship you as a hero, but what do you think in your heart? "

Ye Sanlang's heart skipped a beat. How could the emperor ask this? Could it be that he also knew something about the situation that day? Considering that there have been rumors in Chang'an that Emperor Xuanzong has a very secret organization, and that Prince Li Heng has always been under his surveillance, could it be said that he is very aware of all this? Even his own affairs were solved by him?

Now that the emperor already knows, he will no longer hide it.

"Back to the emperor, actually, I don't want this false reputation. Instead of getting this reputation that I bought with blood, I would rather be an ordinary person. My friends all died tragically on that day, but I managed to survive. Up to now, it has even been praised by thousands of people." He paused and continued: "But Your Majesty, I am uneasy! I am sorry for those brothers who have passed away!"

"Okay!" Li Longji suddenly shouted, "I didn't expect that you would admit it so readily. You are worthy of being my first sword in Chang'an!"

"Your Majesty?" Ye Sanlang was puzzled.

"What you think is right. From the moment I appointed Li Jin as King of Xixian and transferred him to the capital, everything has been under my control." He stood up, sighed suddenly, and continued: " Li Jin is my eldest brother's legitimate son. When he gave way to me, he asked for nothing. I have always felt that I owed him. Li Jin has been in the local area for many years and should have been transferred to Chang'an long ago. But what worries me is that he has nothing to do with me. The prince came too close. But this time Li Linfu mentioned this matter, I realized that he was leaving Heng'er, so I simply transferred him back to the capital. However, with Heng'er's temperament, he hates betrayal people the most. I want to come to him He will not let Li Jin go. So I asked people to monitor Heng'er from the beginning. Sure enough, he secretly kept a bunch of capable people and strangers under him. This time, although he wanted to teach Li Jin a lesson, he didn't Dare to be too public, so I sent a dozen killers and a magician good at ghosts to Taibai Restaurant. I originally wanted to turn a blind eye, but the loss of Taibai Restaurant is actually nothing to Li Jin's family property. But although everything is under my control, I have overlooked one variable, and that is you."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Ye Sanlang's head.

"Your Majesty, the villain is guilty and messed up your plan..."

However, Li Longji waved his hand to stop him: "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. By the way, that old man, have you seen him before?"

"Back to the emperor, I have never met him before. I just saw the Taoist and a family having a dispute over money on the night of the incident."

"Do you know the true identity of that man?"

"It is said that that Taoist seems to be the master of Xunlong Sect."

"Yes, the Imperial Master also sensed a spell similar to that of Xunlongmen that day. Did you hear what you heard from Fairy Tianyin?"

"His Majesty?!"

Li Longji smiled and said: "Don't panic, these are all what I expected. Since ancient times, there is nothing wrong with beauties matching heroes. Moreover, I have checked the details of Li Sihan. She was recently acquired by Hener." Under the tent, she is very skilled, so even though everyone knows that she has a handsome appearance and dare not have any evil intentions towards her, you can rest assured about her. If I hadn't always disliked magic, I would have wanted to see this person. A strange woman in the world. Ye Sanlang, you must cherish her."

Ye Sanlang was excited after hearing this. Hearing what the emperor meant, was he going to hand over Li Sihan to him?

"Sanlang would like to thank the Emperor for your support."

Hearing this, Li Longji nodded. His thoughts suddenly returned to the girl who was accidentally injured by a stray arrow many years ago in the suburbs of Fengxiang. If he could be like Ye Sanlang at that time, Ling'er would probably be able to survive until now. , it’s a pity that I don’t have the courage. Looking at Ye Sanlang, he was filled with emotions. It was really not easy for a woman to do this for a woman. In addition to his martial arts skills, why not let him be used by him and become his way to restrain Li Linfu and Heng'er. A chess piece?

His eyes suddenly drifted to the open memorial on the table. It was about Yang Governor Shi Li Huaiyuan's impeachment of a certain royal relative who secretly raised villagers, controlled private salt sales, harmed the interests of orthodox officials and businessmen for a long time, and had conflicts with local officials. Have contact with each other. When it comes to Yangzhou, the forces there are complicated. Liu Zhao should have written to the governor, but his cousin is Hener's concubine, so she is considered to be from Hener's side. Li Huaiyuan, the chief minister, was the second son-in-law of the right prime minister Li Linfu. He wanted to catch Liu Zhao, and this time he did. Unfortunately, he did not catch Heng'er's tail, but he had friction with Zong'er. . I don’t know where Sima Lu Yongming stands. All in all, the current situation in Yangzhou gave him a headache. He wanted to attack the prince's power, but he also didn't want Li Linfu to gain power. Why not win over Sima Lu Yongming and send one of his trustworthy people to form a third party to resolve this issue? What about the incident?

Wonderful, really wonderful. He felt that he was a genius for coming up with this idea. Isn't the person most suitable for carrying out this task standing in front of him right now? I want to reuse him in the future, so why not take this opportunity to train him?

He did what he said, and after a brief weighing, he said: "Sanlang, let's forget about this matter this time. Then Li Sihan will teach you how to deal with it. I won't interfere anymore, but this can't be that simple. I I have something for you to do."

"This villain is willing to do his best for the Emperor, please give the Emperor an order."

"Take a look at this memorial." He handed over the memorial on the table.

After a quick glance at the contents of the memorial, Ye Sanlang put the memorial back on the table. He really didn't know what Li Longji's intention was.

"The villain is stupid. I wonder what the emperor wants me to do?"

"I want to send you to Jiangnan, but I don't know if you are willing?"

I saw Ye Sanlang immediately half-kneeling on the ground, cupping his hands and saying: "Please give the emperor an order."

"Okay!" Li Longji was in a really good mood. "I will appoint you as the Supervisory Censor and give you one of my gold medals. You will rest at home for two days and then rush to Yangzhou immediately. I will arrange for someone to pick you up in Yangzhou. After that, I will arrange the matters slowly. "

Ye Sanlang was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that he, a mere policeman, would be suddenly promoted to an eighth-grade supervisory censor. Although this supervisory censor was low-ranking, he held real power. Even a fifth-grade official like the governor of Shangzhou could do it. I tried my best to flatter him, but I never thought that such a day would come to him.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness!";
