"Your Highness, do you want to..."
The patriarch of the Yelu family was terrified at this moment. He was indeed greedy for life and afraid of death. Tuoba Yuanyu clearly wanted to use his own death to calm Leng Wushuang's anger.
After all, he was the one who forced Concubine Yun to flee Zhongzhou with the young prince!
The patriarch of the Yelu family could not even stand firmly.
Back then, he asked Yeluqi to go to Zhongzhou just to find the whereabouts of Leng Wushuang.
There were rumors before that Leng Wushuang killed his son, but his son did not die in Nan Qi at all!
Now that Leng Wushuang's identity has been revealed to the world, his son's death is inextricably linked to Leng Wushuang.
At this moment, he was frightened and frightened, and didn't know what to do.
"Uncle, we can get rid of it once and for all, but I'm afraid that Leng Wushuang's anger still won't be appeased by then. Who should we hand over then?"
Hearing Tuoba Yuanyu's words, the patriarch of the Yelu family felt relieved. These words clearly did not mean to let him die, so his things would still turn around.
"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is true, but what should we do now? Does His Highness the Crown Prince have any calculation in mind?"
"I can't talk about any calculations. I just want to ask you if we should continue to cooperate with Song Jingrong. If we continue to cooperate with Song Jingrong, I am afraid that the face of our Northern Desert royal family will be completely wiped out."
"His Royal Highness is already at this stage. Why don't you talk about losing face? If you can save your life, it's not bad."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince, we are all following His Highness the Prince."
"What I mean is, don't worry about the war situation in Zhongzhou and let all the people in the Northern Desert investigate and see who is the real murderer." Tuoba Yuanyu sneered.
"Your Highness, do you mean to return to the Northern Desert?"
Everyone was shocked and speechless.
"Yes, do you have any opinions?"
"Your Highness, if we return to the Northern Desert now, aren't we going to die?"
"Then do you think we should huddle in the northwest and linger, or should we join Song Jingrong and fight for the skin of a tiger?"
Obviously these two roads are not good choices, but it can still be seen that there may be a way to survive, but if you choose to go back to the Northern Desert, wouldn't it be to die?
"Your Highness, are you confused? How can we fight Leng Wushuang with our current military strength? This does not require all of us to die."
After saying this, the man shuddered, as if death was very close to him.
"Confused? If we don't put the knife of public opinion directly on Leng Wushuang's neck, how long do you think we can live? Just lingering while we are alive, without being able to return to our hometown for the rest of our lives?"
"public opinion?"
"Yes, Leng Wushuang can kill people, but he can't stop all the people in the Northern Desert. People with a little bit of brains in the Northern Desert can figure out that the prince and you are all in Zhongzhou, so how can he unite everyone to rebel? If we really join Song Jingrong, or retreat to the northwest, do we still have to clean up our grievances?" Tuoba Yuanyu asked in a deep voice.
Everyone understood that the path Tuoba Yuanyu chose would allow everyone to die without stigmatization, but this path was not considered a way to survive at all. Leng Wushuang had already killed many of them. Killing him would mean nothing to Leng Wushuang.
"I am willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince back to the Northern Desert!"
"I am willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince back to the Northern Desert!"
"I am willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince back to the Northern Desert!"
"..."
More and more people are joining in, as if everyone has turned a blind eye to this life and death.
Only the patriarch of the Yelu family is extremely cold-hearted at the moment. Others may still have a chance. He will only die if he returns to the Northern Desert. It is impossible for Leng Wushuang to let him live in this world!
…
Northern Desert, Royal Palace.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Tuoba Yuanyu and other remnants wanted to lead troops back to the Northern Desert, and asked Your Majesty to come and resolve the case and tell them whether they killed the late emperor." The head of the internal affairs said carefully, fearing that his words would offend the cold. Wushuang is unhappy.
This Leng Wushuang inherited the throne in the name of the little prince, but refused to even change Tuoba's name. This was simply deviant and unbelievable.
Leng Wushuang, who was reviewing the memorial, paused and said, "Oh? These people are so unafraid of death. Are they really not afraid of me killing them all?"
The housekeeper listened to Leng Wushuang's words, sweat dripping down his face. He was so scared to death. What on earth was Leng Wushuang thinking? He dared to speak so openly.
No wonder he could be so ruthless to those tribesmen left behind.
I'm afraid any tribal leader would be unbearable when he comes back and sees that his home and people are gone.
Unexpectedly, Tuoba Yuanyu dared to bring everyone back to the court!
"Go and call the entire Criminal Punishment Division. I want to see how the Criminal Punishment Division will resolve the case." Leng Wushuang said playfully.
Not long after, the Chief of the Shenxing Department entered the Imperial Study Room. Looking at Leng Wushuang, even the Chief of the Shenxing Department, who was used to seeing life and death, was frightened: "My lord, Wang Qiangang, the Chief of the Shenxing Department, just came to see Your Majesty."
"Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned the minister late at night?"
"It's nothing. I wonder how the investigation by the Shenxing Department is going with the case of the late emperor's imperial gift that has been suppressed for so long?" Leng Wushuang said casually, without even looking at Wang Gangang.
"The humble minister is incompetent and there has been no progress so far." Wang Gangang was simply speechless. Do we have to find Leng Wushuang? There is no one in the entire Northern Desert who was not present. It was Leng Wushuang who killed Tuoba Hong.
"I heard that Tuoba Yuanyu and other traitors will soon bring their subordinates back to surrender. By then, your Criminal Division should know how to handle the case, right?"
Leng Wushuang's voice was extremely cold, and there was no emotion at all.
Wang Gangang was extremely shocked at this time. He never expected that Tuoba Yuanyu would choose to come back at this time. This would be a complete loss of life!
Whoever takes over this case will be a hot potato. Tuoba Yuanyu has always won the hearts of the people. Even after Leng Wushuang ascended the throne, there are still people in the Northern Desert who secretly sympathize with His Highness the Crown Prince. If Tuoba Yuanyu is sentenced to death, no matter who No matter what the truth is, the person who judges him can only be doomed to be infamy for eternity.
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent, and he is willing to resign from his position as the head of the Criminal Punishment Department and let someone who Your Majesty thinks has the ability to do it." The director of the Criminal Punishment Department said with an embarrassed look.
"Incompetent? Is it because I am incompetent or because I dare not try this case? I don't need to say more." Leng Wushuang, who had been looking down at the memorial, raised his eyes and looked at Wang Gangang.
"Your Majesty... I don't dare!" Wang Gangang continued with tears streaming down his face. He had lived for more than sixty years and finally sat at the head of the Criminal Punishment Department. What Leng Wushuang asked him to do was clearly a push for him to do so. A dead end!
