Xuanhua Palace is located in the center of Xuanjun City. Although it is a palace, it is not very splendid. It can even be said to be ugly. The dark palace wall, if it looks anything like it, is indestructible.
Within the palace wall, in the center of the entire palace is the Xuanjun Hall. Emperor Xuan discussed state affairs here every day with the big shots in various departments and formulated political strategies for governing this territory.
But now, a big hole suddenly opened directly above the Xuanjun Hall, and broken wooden tiles fell from the roof of the hall and fell to the ground. A group of important officials were lying on the ground, motionless. Not even King Liao praised and worshiped like this, and the royal ministers who went to the palace with swords and shoes were no exception.
"A mere brat from Xiafeng Mountain killed the Court Supervisory Committee and the City Lord's Mansion. Now it's even better. He killed my brothers directly. When did our Xuanjun Empire become so weak and easy to bully?" Emperor Xuan roared. The sound echoed in the entire hall, no one dared to explain anything, everyone lay down lower.
"Why is no one talking? Where have all the usual sharp tongue gone?" Emperor Xuan continued angrily.
The order to kill Su Tang has been issued, but this is obviously not enough to calm Emperor Xuan's anger. The ministers who were catching up in front of them were also unlucky. There is no one who is directly related to this matter, such as the hospital supervisory committee, the criminal arrest department, etc., but no one is in charge.
Emperor Xuan finally seemed to realize this. After calming down for a while, he waved his hand and motioned for a palace spy to come forward.
"Tell Xing Wen that in half an hour, I will see the heads of Lu Ping and Su Tang. If not, let him come to see me with his own head." Emperor Xuan said.
"Yes." After receiving the order, the secret agent stepped back. As soon as the body left the Xuanjun Hall, it turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
The important minister didn't dare to raise his head while lying on the ground, but he could still hear his words. Xing Wen, as Xuanhuang said, was the head of the Protectorate. To be able to sit in this position, one must not only be strong enough, but also gain the trust of Xuanhuang. Emperor Xuan was always very polite to such important ministers, but now he actually issued such a death order, which showed that this time he was really angry to the extreme.
"Okay, you all get up." As a result, Emperor Xuan let them go and motioned for them to get up.
The ministers stood up quickly. They all know that Emperor Xuan's temperament is most annoying and pretentious. If you tell them to get up, they must get up. If you put this kind of behavior in front of Emperor Xuan like carrying a thorn to plead guilty, your wish will definitely be granted and you will be beaten to death with thorn sticks.
After getting up, the ministers were still cautious. Emperor Xuan did not speak, and they did not dare to speculate casually. They could only wait here and wait for Emperor Xuan to give instructions.
"Everyone, just follow me and wait to see when these two heads can be placed in the palace." Emperor Xuan said with a gloomy face.
All the ministers bowed their heads and said yes, and then they all stood quietly, not daring to communicate with each other at all.
In Xuanjun City, Zui Luping's pursuit continued, especially after Emperor Xuan's order to kill Su Tang was issued, no one dared to neglect at all.
The Wei brothers, Qin Chuan, and the Criminal Police Department are in charge of the Liang family. They haven't taken the first place in Xuanhuang's queue just because they haven't had a chance to get out. But when things got to this point, everyone knew that they would definitely not be exempted from the punishment afterwards, so they could only do the next thing more efficiently so that Emperor Xuan would not become even more angry.
But Lu Ping, who was particularly easy to catch the movements before, happened to play hide and seek with them at this time.
They snatched a uniform from the Protectorate Academy and asked them to guess whether Lu Ping would disguise himself as a student of the Protectorate Academy to cover up. But soon, members of the Jiumen Patrol Department, the Hospital Supervisory Committee, and the Criminal Apprehension Department, which were the main forces chasing Lu Ping in the past few days, were all attacked, and their uniforms were robbed.
So now what color of clothing Lu Ping is wearing has turned out to be a multiple-choice question with no logical answer.
But soon, news came from the Protectorate.
The Nine Gate Patrol Division drove all the teenagers from the Protectorate Academy back to the academy, but now, the Protectorate Association wants these central departments to go back to their respective yamen just like the teenagers from the Protectorate Academy.
"Ping Qian..." Wei Ping was a little embarrassed when he received the warrant. In principle, the Protectorate has no right to deploy people like them. But now, with Emperor Xuan being completely alarmed by this matter, it should be time to fully mobilize the power of the Protectorate. In terms of numbers, their divisions are infinitely stronger than those of the Protectorate, but in terms of true strength, they are probably only as powerful as Wei Pingqian's Military Division who can mobilize thousands of troops to defeat the masters of the Protectorate at the expense of both sides. But Wei Pingqian had no intention of using military power from the beginning. The army is used in disputes with other countries and cannot be used to deal with this problem.
"Withdraw." Wei Pingqian just responded without showing any emotion. Although he wanted to avenge his son, at the moment, he could only take a back seat to Emperor Xuan's brother's revenge.
"Let the whole army disperse. Let's take a few of our own. The Protectorate won't chase us away." Wei Ping said as soon as he knew Wei Ping Qian was unwilling to do so.
"Okay." Wei Pingqian nodded after thinking for a while. On the one hand, he was eager to avenge his son, but on the other hand, he also wanted to continue to intervene in this matter and make some contributions, even if it meant shedding some blood, so that he could have an explanation for Emperor Xuan later.
The Wei family thinks so, and so do the Qin family and the Liang family. And it was all done by the head of the family himself. The three families, who usually fought openly and secretly, but seemed to be in harmony with each other, now gathered together. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all sighed together.
Have the three major Xuanjun families ever been in such a miserable state?
"Old Qin, in the final analysis, it was you who brought this about." Liang Tongbei, the head of the Liang family, said to Qin Chuan. Normally, Qin Chuan would immediately be wary of whether the other party would take the opportunity to make some articles to impress the Qin family, but now, he knew that this time the other party was just complaining.
"The Criminal Division has stamped wanted notices all over the country for a year. Is this your fault?" Qin Chuan also retorted matter-of-factly.
"Speaking of which, I have to mention something. We issued the arrest warrant, and we should arrest the person. Why didn't Su Tang be sent to the prison of our criminal arrest department after he was brought back from Xiafeng District by someone from your hospital supervisory committee? ? This should be considered a lynching, right?" Liang Tongbei said again.
"It started with us, so of course we want to make a beautiful aftermath ourselves." Qin Chuan said.
"I'm just confused." Wei Pingqian couldn't bear it anymore, "You are the one who caused everything, so why is it that I am the one who dies in the end?"
"Alas, he also died for his country..."
"My condolences."
The two families comforted each other one after another. As for how much true feelings Wei Pingqian had, he knew that there was no point in arguing, so he could only sigh secretly.
Several people did not personally rush to the streets to track down Lu Ping's whereabouts, but the necessary information was always delivered to them word for word. After the large groups of troops from several major headquarters retreated, the Xuanjun City under martial law seemed like a dead city. The Protectorate's side can't come up with any human wave tactics, and masters with four souls are not wild flowers and weeds that can be seen everywhere. I am afraid that only the four major colleges and the three major empires can assemble hundreds of people into a group.
This is a terrifying force that can start a war, but now, they are only searching for one person, and what's even worse is that they haven't found him yet.
Emperor Xuan's death order had been transmitted at this time. It took half an hour to see the heads of two people. ;
