City Lord's Mansion, main hall.
Ye Long held on to the wall, bent down, and slowly moved in.
With Mai Shiranui's help, she finally sat down after struggling a lot.
In the main hall, at the bottom of the table, Zhui Ming glanced at Ye Long secretly, then quickly lowered his head.
Although I was curious about what happened to the emperor, I didn't dare to ask questions because today was the three-day deadline given by the emperor to the six doors.
But these three days have passed, and there is no clue at all about the serial rape and murder case.
The murderer fell silent and did not commit any more crimes, and even the Tang Clan was in peace.
"Chasing life, being ruthless, Liu Jiyan." Ye Long sat on the chair, with his eyelids drooping, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Zhui Ming has met the emperor, long live our emperor! We must protect the dragon body." Zhui Ming trembled, hurriedly walked to the middle of the main hall, knelt down on one knee, and said bravely.
"We have met the emperor, long live the emperor." Qing Qing and Liu Jiyan also hurriedly saluted.
"What happened to the serial rape and murder case?" Ye Long asked calmly as he looked at the three people pursuing their lives.
"Back to the emperor... there has been no progress at all. The murderer has stopped committing crimes, and there are no clues left in the previous cases... It is too difficult to solve the case. I can only wait and wait, waiting for the murderer to fall into the trap." Zhui Ming said bravely, looking like he was giving up.
"Hmph, since the three-day deadline has expired and the case has not been solved, all six of you are to blame." Ye Long snorted coldly.
I thought it would be strange if you could solve the case, but the real killer was the Demon Man, an absolute master of the Wu Color family.
He is good at disguise and is a master at the second level of Qi training realm. How can you solve the case with just the three of you.
Even if She Mei is hiding next to the murderer, she doesn't know who he is.
"Chasing life is willing to accept the punishment."
"He is ruthless and willing to accept the punishment."
"Liu Jiyan is willing to accept the punishment."
Chasing life, ruthlessly, Liu Jiyan and three others said in unison.
"Since you are all willing to accept the punishment, I will not be polite. I will strip you three of your official positions and demote you to civilians!" Ye Long said in a deep voice.
"Xie Hongdian, hand over the six door tokens of the three of them." After Ye Long finished speaking, he looked at Xie Hongdian aside before the three men could speak.
Xie Hongdian was slightly startled when he heard Ye Long's words. He felt a little surprised. Why did the emperor really want to face the six doors?
It is said that the officials who want to catch the gods will be killed! They also have to hand over the tokens for their six doors!
You must know that no one used to care about the six doors. It was not that no one wanted to care about it, but that no one dared to care about it.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to hand it over..." Xie Hongdian asked softly.
Although she is also from the Six Doors, she is now focused on Ye Long. If Ye Long asks her to hand it over, she will definitely take action.
She just thought that doing so was inappropriate and would only make the relationship between Ye Long and Liumen Men become tense.
That's why she needed to make sure whether Ye Long had a sudden fever... and made this decision.
After all, there is a difference between losing one's official position and handing over the six-door token.
The official position is gone, but there are six gate tokens, but it is still catching the gods, catching the gods.
But without the six-door token, it's nothing.
As for Chasing Life, Ruthless, and Liu Jiyan, they also frowned slightly.
They knew very well that the emperor wanted to suppress the Six Gates, and even cut off their official positions. This was acceptable, but they had to hand over their Six Gate tokens, which they were somewhat resistant to.
"Why, my words don't work?" Ye Long looked at Xie Hongdian and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xie Hongdian's delicate body trembled, he nodded heavily, and then walked towards the three men chasing their lives.
"Uncle Wu Qing, Third Master Zhui Ming, and Liu Catcher, please don't make things difficult for me." Xie Hongdian said bitterly as he looked at the three unmoved Zhui Ming.
"Six Doors is handling the case. Since when did the Emperor get involved? I respect you as the Emperor, so I kneel down to you, but you want to hand over my token. Even if you are the Emperor, I'm afraid you have no rights! My Six Doors token , only the god has the right to take it back." Liu Jiyan stood up and looked directly at Ye Long.
"Insolent! Isn't the emperor's words an imperial edict? Why not Zhuge Zhengyi!? Does Zhuge Zhengyi want to rebel?" Liu Xi pinched his orchid finger, pointed directly at Liu Jiyan, and directly slapped Zhuge Zhengyi with a big hat.
"Rebellion? No, my master has never thought about rebellion, but I have never thought about who to be loyal to. The six gates are only loyal to the people of the world! Do things for the people, for the people in the world, and voice grievances." Wuqing shook his head. He shook his head and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"The four great families are now in name only. The emperor has got what he wants. You have to know when enough is enough." Zhui Ming also said bitterly.
"Well said, wonderfully said! Be loyal to the people of the world, do things for the people, work for the people in the world, and complain about grievances. Could it be that what you did in the thirteenth period of Yuan Dynasty was also for the people? Is it okay to live in the post-Qing Dynasty and earn a salary from the imperial court? , but do not care about the emperor's kindness, this is a traitor!" Nan Peng walked in directly with a broad sword in his hand.
Following him in, there were dozens of personal guards.
Dozens of personal guards from Prince Guo's Mansion directly surrounded the three people who were chasing their lives.
The expressions of the three people who were pursuing their lives changed, knowing that the emperor was really going to make a big move against the six doors.
None of them could have imagined that the emperor was actually wearing the same pair of trousers as Prince Guo.
Didn't the two of them have a bitter relationship before, and Prince Guo secretly plotted to usurp the throne?
Now that the emperor has military power and the Dongchang lackeys in his hands, he really is not afraid of the Six Gates anymore!
"I will give you two choices. First, obediently hand over the six-door token and you will still have a way to survive. Second, I will send you directly on your way. Even Zhuge Zhengwo can't save you." Ye Long stood. He stood up, squinted his eyes, and looked at the three men chasing his life.
The overbearing imperial power directly locked onto the three people chasing their lives, making them feel frightened.
"Uncle Master, we are officials and people of the Later Qing Kingdom. Since the Emperor wants to hand over our tokens, we naturally have to obey the Holy Order." Qing Qing said calmly and took a deep look at Ye Long.
After saying that, Qingqing handed his token directly to Xie Hongdian who was standing aside.
Zhuiming and Liu Jiyan looked at each other, sighed, and handed over their tokens one after another.
It's impossible not to hand them over. The emperor obviously has murderous intentions towards them. If he doesn't hand over the token now, Prince Guo will order their arrest in the next second.
At that time, if you are accused of being a rebel, your death will be in vain.
There are many masters around, as well as many city guards of the city lord's palace. It is simply impossible for Prince Guo's personal guards to escape by relying on martial arts!
It's just Qianlong who they can't deal with.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, I will give you a chance." Ye Long calmed down his breath and said calmly.
"I dare not take advantage of the opportunity given by the emperor, lest I be tricked by the emperor again." Liu Jiyan snorted coldly, his tone very unhappy.
As the fourth most famous catcher and now the best catcher, Qianlong, who was once polite to him, actually took advantage of him. How could he feel so good?
"Liu Jiyan, pay attention to the attitude and tone of your words! You are talking to the current emperor." Nan Peng looked at Liu Jiyan coldly.
"Since when did Prince Guo wear pants with the emperor for a whole day? What, you don't want to seek the throne anymore?" Liu Jiyan sneered, showing no fear of Nan Peng.
"I am the emperor's uncle. I am part of the same family as the emperor. Naturally, I wear the same trousers with the emperor. Liu Jiyan, I advise you not to sow discord. It is of no use at all." Nan Peng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. .
"I wonder what chance your Majesty will give us?" Zhuiming asked immediately. He didn't want Liu Jiyan to provoke Prince Guo again.
This is a prince with real power, and he has an Eight Banners Army with a white flag in his hand.
If he really pissed off Prince Guo, he would just call in the people with the white flag, and the entire six gates might not be able to stop him.
"Stay in Mangzhou and assist Xie Hongdian in detecting the serial rape and murder case. If the case can be solved, all three of you will be reinstated." Ye Long said calmly.
He didn't care at all about Liu Jiyan's ridicule and sowing discord.
In the past, he might have been worried about Prince Guo, but now Prince Guo is Nan Peng.
Will Nanpeng betray himself? Definitely not possible!
This is also thanks to the three great military advisors of Longmen who formulated such a plan and asked Nan Peng to replace Prince Guo, so that his plan went so smoothly!
Otherwise, Prince Guo would be enough to give him a headache.
The eyes of the three ruthless people condensed for an instant, what does the emperor mean?
This is about promoting Xie Hongdian! The three of them became Xie Hongdian's subordinates.
When it comes to assisting, it means that they are subordinates to others, and they are the ones doing all the things that use their strength and brainpower, and all the credit comes from Xie Hongdian.
Although Xie Hongdian is the goddess catcher of Mangzhou, there is still a huge gap between him and the real divine catcher. Otherwise, how could it be the turn of the three of them for such a difficult case as a serial rape and murder case? Xie Hongdian would have solved the case long ago...
As great men, the three of them didn't care about their merits, but suddenly they went from being officials of the fifth rank to being subordinates to a woman who was the seventh rank... This gap was too big.
Especially Liu Jiyan, this guy is still in the fourth grade.
Not to mention the three of them, Xie Hongdian felt incredulous that Chasing Life and Wu Qing were the four most famous arresters! Liu Jiyan was one of the three great catchers... He was trembling just thinking about asking them to help him solve the case.
"What, are you unwilling? Are you unwilling to submit to a woman? Xie Hongdian, I now appoint you as the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, with an official position of the third rank." Ye Long sneered after seeing the expressions of the three people chasing his life. A big hand operation came directly.
After hearing what Ye Long said, not only the three Zhuiming people, but also Xie Hongdian, Liu Xi, and Nan Peng were dumbfounded.
From the third grade.
I'm a good boy.
If the emperor asked Bai Xinru to be the lord of Qingshui City, it would be enough to arouse criticism, and the people in the court might not be willing to do so.
This time, a third-grade servant, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came directly! She is also a young and beautiful female detective...
This is simply unbelievable.
The emperor's decision will never be approved in the court.
At the very least, the Minister of Punishment would never agree.
It's really weird that those cabinet bachelors would agree.
This is one step closer to becoming a third-rank minister of Dali Temple!
You must know that the God of Zhuge is only from the second level!
"Your Majesty, do you want to think about it again? Think about it again?" Liu Xi reminded in a low voice.
The emperor has offended so many people by playing this trick. I am afraid that the entire court will not agree!
Today's court is controlled by the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother agree with the Emperor's woman to occupy the position of Zuo Shaoqing in Dali Temple?
"Liu Xi, I know what you are worried about, but you must remember that the emperor comes from the sword, so how can he control the court? In whose hands the soldiers are, who is the emperor." Ye Long patted Liu Xi's shoulder and spoke seriously. said.
"Old slave, I understand!" Liu Xi's body trembled and he nodded heavily.
He had already expected that when the emperor returned to Kyoto, the court would definitely be filled with bloodshed.
The emperor is preparing to use force to suppress the queen mother.
Even if it triggers an upheaval in the court, as long as they have military power in their hands, what can a group of civilian officials do?
The emperor originally did not have any soldiers, even the three Eight Banners troops who were subordinate to the emperor were waiting and watching. However, when the three flag owners of Ruozhenghuangqi, Xianghuangqi and Zhengbaiqi saw the emperor and the Queen Mother, they had a fight with Prince Guo. After receiving the capital, he will definitely support the emperor.
Coupled with the white flag in Prince Guo's hand...then the Emperor has four Eight Banners troops in his hand.
The three people chasing life also took a breath, they all felt the emperor's determination!
This is a tough battle with the Queen Mother, and this is the excuse.
If the Queen Mother does not compromise, then she will do it forcefully. If the Queen Mother compromises, the atmosphere in the court will turn against the Emperor... The Emperor appoints a woman to be the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the Queen Mother cannot stop it. Then the Emperor is about to take off. ?
Those neutral factions will definitely fall to the emperor!
No matter what, the Queen Mother has lost this bloodless battle.
"Your Majesty, I can't be like Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Xie Hongdian knelt on the ground, his delicate body trembling.
This Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple is different from having the three people who chase her life to assist her. This is a veritable third-rank official.
She has absolute real power in her hands. Half of the power of Dali Temple is in her hands.
She was a little excited, but mostly frightened.
"I believe you, it's not a problem to stay here in Mangzhou forever. When the serial rape and murder case is solved, you will return to Kyoto to resume your life." Ye Long pulled Xie Hongdian up and said with a smile.
"I'm afraid... that I won't be able to solve the case." Xie Hongdian's tone was still trembling. She thought to herself that even if they couldn't solve the case, how could she solve the case? If she could solve the case, she would have solved it long ago.
"I believe that with the four famous catchers who are ruthless and life-seeking, and the three great catchers Liu Jiyan, this serial rape and murder case can be solved in a few days. Besides, if you feel that there are not enough people, you are recruiting Yes. You are Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple now." Ye Long nodded Xie Hongdian's forehead and said indifferently.
"Let's go back to Beijing. This change of route to Mangzhou really makes me exhausted and my heart hurts. I don't get any benefits." Ye Long shook his head and said bitterly.
Mai Shiranui quickly went to help Ye Long because he had a backache and was still not feeling well.
Liu Xi, Nanpeng and others also left with Ye Long.
Only the three people who were chasing their lives were left looking at each other.
No benefits gained?
You are the one who reaps the most benefits. No, you are the only one who reaps the benefits.
Isn’t this irritating!
…
"Your Majesty, I, Yin Chengfeng, have thought clearly that everyone in Qingtian Village will be loyal to the Emperor!"
Seeing Ye Long coming out of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Yin Chengfeng joined hands with Wu Caiyun, hurried over and knelt down to worship him.
To be honest, he and Wu Caiyun have been waiting outside for a long time!
This autumn, there is a cold wind blowing, so cool!
But some didn't dare to go in to report, so they had to wait outside.
"Oh? I forgot about your Qingtian Village." Ye Long was slightly stunned and looked at Yin Chengfeng and Wu Caiyun.
To be honest, this was the first time he saw Wu Caiyun, and since he had seen many beauties, he felt a little surprised.
Wu Caiyun is worthy of being called the Caiyun Fairy. She is wearing a colorful long skirt that looks a bit thin. Her pink arms and beautiful legs are looming under the gauze skirt.
The autumn wind is cool, isn't Wu Caiyun cold? Although everyone is in the martial arts world and can use their internal energy to drive away the cold, who can always use their internal energy to get rid of the cold?
"Get up, it's so cold. Come in and talk." Ye Long looked away from the two of them and walked towards the carriage not far away as he spoke.
The carriage was prepared early in the morning because Ye Long planned to leave Mangzhou today and rush back to Qingzhou Kyoto.
So Liu Xi was asked to prepare the carriage early in the morning.
Yin Chengfeng and Wu Caiyun looked at each other, stood up quickly, and followed Ye Long.
"Master Yin made the wisest choice. Only by following the emperor can he succeed." Liu Xi looked at Yin Chengfeng and said with a smile.
"That's... the emperor's sage, great talent and strategy, Yin Chengfeng admires him very much." Yin Chengfeng said sincerely.
…
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to go to Qingtian Village? There is a dragnet set up there, just waiting for the Emperor to fall into the trap?" On the carriage, Yin Chengfeng faced Ye Long, feeling nervous for no reason.
"Huh? What does Master Yin mean? I don't understand very well." Ye Long frowned slightly and asked with some confusion.
"The Emperor doesn't know...Didn't Empress Huowu tell the Emperor?" Yin Chengfeng's face changed and he asked in surprise.
"What did you say?" Ye Long's brows furrowed even more.
Yin Chengfeng and Wu Caiyun looked at each other, with cold sweat on their faces... and their hearts were filled with fear.
Yin Chengfeng's breathing became even more rapid, and his mood at this time was obviously shocked.
The emperor's expression told them that he didn't know anything! Mai Shiranui did not convey any news to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's like this..."
Wu Caiyun saw that Yin Chengfeng was in a bad mood and knew that he was not suitable to talk at this time. She quickly calmed down and told Ye Long everything about the night before yesterday.
After hearing Wu Caiyun's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Long's eyes, his eyes became solemn, his brows furrowed, and then he started to use it again.
"Huo Wu, come in." Ye Long said calmly.
Wu Caiyun watched the expression on Ye Long's face change from surprise to solemnity and then to calmness. She was relieved because she knew that Ye Long already had a countermeasure.
"Your Majesty." Huo Wu heard Ye Long's call outside and got directly into the carriage. He didn't even care that Wu Caiyun and Yin Chengfeng were beside him and huddled directly into Ye Long's arms.
"Tell Master Yin Village where you have been in the past two days and have you ever been to Qingtian Village." Ye Long patted Shiranui Mai.
"No, I have been with the emperor for the past two days. I have not been separated day and night... I have never been to Qingtian Village." Mai Shiranui blushed and said shyly.
Mai Shiranui has indeed been with Ye Long for the past two days, having fun every night and enjoying Ye Long's blessings.
As for Qingtian Village, she has never been there at all.
After hearing Mai Shiranui's words, Wu Caiyun and Yin Chengfeng's faces flashed with astonishment.
The two of them looked at Mai Shiranui carefully to make sure they didn't recognize the wrong person!
Mai Shiranui that night was the same person as Mai Shiranui now, but this one was more feminine!
"You have been deceived. It was not her who was in Qingtian Village that night, but someone else." Ye Long said with a smile.
"Your Majesty...who could that be?" Yin Chengfeng asked tremblingly.
"If I guessed correctly, he should be the real murderer of the serial rape and murder case. He wanted to rape and kill your wife Wu Caiyun, but he happened to bump into Huang Taiji in Qingtian Village, so he didn't take action, otherwise he would be exposed. Again. Plus after hearing the conversation between you and your wife... what he wants more is for Huang Taiji and me to kill each other. By then, he will be like a fish in water in Mangzhou, and no one can stop him from committing crimes."
Ye Long pondered for a moment before speaking.
"The murderer of the serial rape and murder case... How could he pretend to be a queen? He still looks so similar and has the same voice!" Wu Caiyun was a little unbelievable.
"The murderer is good at disguising. He may pretend to be anyone, so it is difficult to catch him. I need to go back to Kyoto, understand some things, and then come back. The murderer cannot escape." Ye Long said calmly. He looks confident.
"Your Majesty, my little girl still has something to puzzle about. Since the murderer wants Huang Taiji and the Emperor to kill each other, there is no reason for him to show up. My husband Yin Chengfeng is loyal to Huang Taiji and introduces the Emperor to Qingtian Village. Isn't this just right? ? There is no reason for him to ask my husband to seek refuge with you, the emperor." Wu Caiyun frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart became even worse.
Ye Long looked at Wu Caiyun and then at Yin Chengfeng.
"You are very smart. The one you want to seek refuge with is not me, but Longmen, Bingxue'er." Ye Long asked with a smile.
Wu Caiyun's delicate body trembled and she looked at Ye Long in disbelief.
She smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the Emperor."
She really admired Ye Long's wisdom, she admired him deeply.
In fact, she didn't know at all. How could Ye Long have thought of it? He was not a god. He just used the mind-stealing trick to hear Wu Caiyun's thoughts.
"Actually, the murderer just wanted Yin Chengfeng to die. If Huang Taiji knew that Yin Chengfeng betrayed him, he would kill Yin Chengfeng immediately. If Yin Chengfeng doesn't die, no matter who wins or loses between me and Huang Taiji , this Mangzhou is dominated by one family in Qingtian Village, this is not what the murderer wants." The corners of Ye Long's mouth raised, showing an evil smile.
"Please, Your Majesty, save us..." Wu Caiyun's delicate body trembled. After hearing Ye Long's explanation, she realized that the person pretending to be Mai Shiranui was actually so vicious!
