Chapter 203 Quick Knife(1/2)

He Shanming said nothing, and an unprecedented sense of frustration emerged in his heart. He brought more than 200 Golden Scale Guards, but ended like this. Putting aside the mechanisms of Qin Lang and his wife, the successive appearances of Lu Buyao and Jiang Konghou made this matter extremely difficult. How could the scene that took the initiative become so passive? Whether he wanted to admit it or not, the confrontation with Qin Lang and his wife ended in a crushing defeat.

Qin Lang carried Long Xixi to the bedroom to rest, and was sure that Long Xixi was in good health, so he went out to thank Lu Buyao and Jiang Konghou.

Lu Buyao has not stayed for a long time. He has retired. It is an exception to come forward to help rescue the siege today. He returned to Babu Academy without saying a few words. Although he is old, his eyes are clear and his heart is bright. He has long seen that Long Xixi is playing a trick. Anyway, Jiang Konghou has already come forward. This matter may turn into a game between Sang Jingtian and He Dangzhong in the end, and he doesn't want to be involved. Qin Lang's young couple is not simple. They gradually set up a trap from the beginning of the iron coupon of the alchemy book. He Shanming was too reckless and entered their layout without realizing it. Now He Dangzhong is afraid of having a headache. Sang Jingtian will not take action easily. After taking all the truth, how could he miss this opportunity for nothing?

Jiang Konghou called Qin Lang alone into the room and sighed, "Why did you propose to duel with He Shanming?"

"He has been asking me for trouble again and again. If I continue to swallow my anger, such a person will only gain a better position."

Jiang Konghou originally wanted to ask him about Long Xixi's pregnancy, but when he spoke to his lips, he gave up his thoughts. Even if it was a bitter plan, he could not expose it. Thinking about the situation just now, the couple used this method to make He Shanming suffer a loss. It was indeed smart. The grudge between He Shanming and Qin Lang was not a cold one day. The real cause of Liang Wang Long Shiqing's death has not been found yet. Long Xixi almost lost his family because of this incident. It is normal for them to blame He Shanming, who is the most suspicious, and even seek revenge.

Jiang Konghou knew that this matter could not be hidden from Sang Jingtian. He must let him know as soon as possible. Looking at the Dayong Dynasty, the only person who can make Sang Jingtian most concerned is He Dangsheng. She can only resolve the current crisis in Jinyuan. It won’t take long to come again. Ren Xiaocheng is the new Minister of War. He Dangsheng’s confidant, and He Dangsheng will not give up.

After Jiang Konghou left, Long Xixi sat up from the bed.

Qin Lang quickly held her shoulders and said, "Don't move, have a good rest."

Long Xixi smiled and said, "Do you really think that bastard Shanming can hurt me? Don't worry, I'm wearing ice silkworm armor, and his sound wave sword can't hurt me."

"But so much blood has shed."

Long Xixi said: "It's not my blood. I can still survive if I shed so much? I have a way to deal with such people. I'll take a shower and change my clothes. My whole body is dirty." He threw a charming eye at Qin Lang, and blew the breath Ruolan and said: "Do you want to go together?"

Qin Lang felt his mind and coughed dryly, "Brother Chen and the others are all outside."

Long Xixi spitted out her pink tongue and lay down in his ear and said, "You are bad enough that you can come up with a bad idea for miscarriage."

Qin Lang said: "I can only go with the flow when you saw that you had shed so much blood." I felt a little ashamed that I had flaws in this regard and could not get a beautiful woman's belly is also a great regret in life. Even for this matter, I must find "Yin and Yang Wuji Picture". What a pity that such a good gene was wasted.

Long Xixi put his arms on his shoulders, staring at his eyes and said, "Why don't you ask if I killed Ren Xiaocheng?"

Qin Lang smiled and said, "I believe you won't lie to me!"

Long Xixi hugged Qin Lang and murmured, "Alang, I love you so much!" Qin Lang's trust made her more moved than any sweet words.

Qin Lang came outside, Chen Hutu and Wang Houting were searching in the yard. This was Qin Lang's instruction. Before the next round of searches came, they would conduct self-inspection first to beware of someone framed them.

Zhao Changqing also rushed over from Babu Academy after hearing the news. The four of them joined forces to search in Jinyuan, and were sure that there was nothing unusual.

At this time, people from the Ministry of Justice also came, but the momentum was much smaller than that of the Jinlin Guard. It was just that Luodongcheng itself explained its purpose, and Chen Qiongnian asked him to ask Qin Lang to explain the situation.

Qin Lang asked Luo Dongcheng to wait for a while, went back to his room and said to Long Xixi, and then went to the Ministry of Justice with Luo Dongcheng.

Chen Hutu and his men offered to go with him.

However, the three of them were not allowed to enter when they arrived at the Ministry of Justice. Luodongcheng arranged for them to wait in the room outside because Chen Qiongnian suggested that only Qin Lang would be seen.

Chen Qiongnian had heard about what happened in Jinyuan before. He didn't want to intervene, but the secret order he just received forced him to interfere in the matter.

Qin Lang saluted Chen Qiongnian, who waved his hand and signaled Luodongcheng to withdraw.

Qin Lang said: "What are your instructions?"

Chen Qiongnian handed a letter to Qin Lang and asked him to read it by himself.

Qin Lang opened it and saw that this was an anonymous letter, which stated the process of his grudge against Ren Xiaocheng because of killing Ren Jiaguang.

Chen Qiongnian asked after he finished reading it, "Is this happening?"

Qin Lang said: "Ren Xiaocheng and his son are both dead, and it seems that there is no point in discussing this letter now."

Chen Qiongnian laughed and said, "What a death without evidence. This letter alone can list you as the biggest suspect in assassinating Ren Xiaocheng."

Qin Lang said: "Jinlin Guard also thinks so, so today He Shanming led the crowd to surround Jinyuan, trying to force the search, and injured his son."

Chen Qiongnian frowned and said, "This matter is indeed a bit too much, but it's a pity that the devil is one foot taller."

Qin Lang heard what he meant and smiled and said, "Who is the Tao and who is the demon?"

Chen Qiongnian said meaningfully: "It is a demon or a Tao, it is actually just a matter of thought." He put a jade pendant on the table: "The Empress Dowager re-introduces the old story today and blames me for being unfavorable. All witnesses in the murder of King Liang were killed, and the truth has not been found yet."

Qin Lang looked at the jade pendant with the word "Take a pavilion": "What do you mean is to start checking this jade pendant?"

Chen Qiongnian said: "Li Xiang was ordered to investigate the murder of Ren Xiaocheng. The Jinlinwei's surround Jinyuan has nothing to do with the Ministry of Justice."

"Li Sang's hands stretched out a little long."

Chen Qiongnian looked at the young man with appreciation, and talking to him really saved a lot of effort: "Because the witness died in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice investigated it inappropriately. Lord Sang recommended you, and I also think you are the most suitable candidate to investigate this matter." He slowly pushed the jade pendant in front of Qin Lang.

Qin Lang already understood in his heart that Chen Qiongnian wanted to use his knife to attack Li Yifeng. To be precise, it was the instruction of the empress dowager. Sang Jingtian was also adding fuel to the fire. Qin Lang felt very stressed when facing the He family alone, but now he realized that his luck was really good. Some people wanted to use the few things in front of him to do the game. Just follow the trend, and the crisis he faced could be solved easily.

Qin Lang had talked with Lu Buyao about the current situation more than once, and was very clear about the affairs in the court. Li Yifeng was definitely not the candidate in the mind of the empress dowager. Sang Jingtian would sooner or later as the prime minister. But he didn't expect that the empress dowager was so ruthless to attack Li Yifeng. This time, I was afraid that Li Yifeng's position would have to be handed over.

Qin Lang picked up the jade pendant. He deliberately threw it away but hated Li Yuting to take advantage of the situation, but he did not expect that this jade pendant would play a role in determining the fate of the Li family.

"Am I now representing the Tengce Prefecture or the Ministry of Justice?"

"What the emperor means!"

After Sang Jingtian returned from the palace, he entered the study. Recently, he had to deal with government affairs until late at night every day, and even more busy than before he became the Grand Tutor. Jiang Konghou thought he had been abandoned by the Queen Mother, but all signs indicate that he seemed to be brewing quietly.

Jiang Konghou rarely cares about the affairs of the government. After returning from Jinyuan today, she was a little nervous and hesitated whether she would tell Sang Jingtian about this. Just when she decided to go to find Sang Jingtian, Qin Lang came.

Qin Lang rarely visited the door after marriage. If Sang Jingtian had not taken the initiative to find him today, he might not have come yet. It was not that he hated Sang Jingtian because of Xuewu's incident, but because there was indeed no topic between him and Sang Jingtian, and the false polite words were meaningless. Qin Lang was still grateful to Jiang Konghou. Today, she slapped He Shanming in public in Jinyuan, which invisibly increased Qin Lang's favor for her.

Jiang Konghou asked Qin Lang to see him alone, and Xue Wu became a barrier between them. Everyone knew it well, but no one wanted to make it clear.

When Qin Lang walked into the study, Sang Jingtian was still reviewing the files on the desk. When he heard Qin Lang greeting him, he raised his head and smiled and said, "You are here!"

"Godfather is so hard?"

Sang Jingtian sighed and said, "The government affairs of the court are piled up like a mountain. As a minister, you must share the worries for the emperor."

"A person's energy is limited after all, so my godfather should ask for a few more people to help."

Sang Jingtian stood up and stretched his body, and came to Qin Lang and said, "It's time for father and son to go into battle. I can't believe it." He handed a secret order to Qin Lang.

Qin Lang unfolded the secret decree and vaguely realized something in his heart. After reading this secret decree, he was a little surprised: "This..."

Sang Jingtian said: "Li Yifeng's talent is difficult to take on the position of the prime minister. Your Majesty decided that I will replace him and clean up the mess at present." He stared at Qin Lang with his sharp eyes and tried to reach Qin Lang's heart: "Li Yifeng is self-aware. He has long been willing to hand over the position, but someone does not agree."

Qin Lang and Lu Buyao often drank tea and chatted, and they were very familiar with the power disputes within the court, and whispered: "Why should we be serious?"

Sang Jingtian said: "This person doesn't say anything on the surface, but he relies on his own control of the military power of Dayong and actively supports his confidants' deployment. The Minister of War Zong Wuqi and the Minister of Revenue Chang Shanyuan were all his right-hand men in the past. Even Ren Xiaocheng, the Minister of War who had just been killed, was supported by him."

"Don't the Queen Mother know? Just sit back and see him as nepotism?"

Qin Lang suddenly had a terrible premonition in his heart that Ren Xiaocheng's death was not a vendetta, but unfortunately he became a victim of political struggle and game. The Empress Dowager, Sang Jingtian, and Chen Qiunian, they were not unable to see the truth, but they were always making arrangements and they wanted to set off long lines to catch big fish.

Sang Jingtian whispered: "Some things that are known to be wrong must be allowed to do, and excessive things will have the opposite effect." He patted Qin Lang's shoulder and said meaningfully: "You and Xixi are smart enough. Jinyuan's things are very beautiful, and some things must be found to be a suitable person." His eyes fell on the secret decree in Qin Lang's hand, "The emperor wants a knife! A knife that goes against all the advantages!"

Qin Lang knew in his heart that it was not the emperor’s need, but the empress dowager’s need. Sang Jingtian and the empress dowager were so close. Could it be that he was an old lady? What benefits could I have when I use me as a knife?

Sang Jingtian obviously guessed what Qin Lang was thinking and whispered: "Your Majesty agrees that after this matter is done, you will restore the throne to Prince Qing. Your future will naturally be limitless."

Qin Lang looked at Sang Jingtian and suddenly realized that the relationship between him and Sang Jingtian was the most harmonious only when they were using each other. Perhaps it was not the queen mother who chose him, but Sang Jingtian who chose him. He killed the master with random punches. The newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. To solve this problem, Chen Qiongnian and Sang Jingtian were not suitable for coming forward, so he thought of himself that he could cut the mess only by a quick knife!

Qin Lang said: "I need to be famous for my master."

"The commander of the Xiyu Guard of Tiance Prefecture, the fifth-rank guard with swords in the front line! The official office of Xiyu Gate is for you to use, and it will be directly dispatched by the General of Tiance Prefecture."

Qin Lang burst into laughter and gave him a title. He was not a subordinate of the Baiyu Palace. He sounded majestic, but in fact he changed the soup and didn't change the medicine. Fortunately, he didn't mind the official title.

Sang Jingtian said: "Don't underestimate the Xiyu Gate. In the past, we used to be on par with the Dongyu Gate of the Jinlin Guard. But now we are in decline. The same is true for the Tiance Mansion. The emperor will give you five hundred staffing first, and you will recruit the personnel yourself!"

Li Yuting did not know his father's current embarrassment and was still intoxicated by the joy of his father's promotion. A group of princes in Yongdu, Yanei, lined up to invite the beloved son of the prime minister of the dynasty. He recited poems and wrote pairs every day, and was so happy.

When Qin Lang led people to capture Li Yuting, he was holding a writing meeting with Cao Sheng, Zhong Haitian and several officials. After Qin Lang arrived, he asked someone to arrest him without saying a word.

Cao Sheng asked himself how much favor he had in front of Qin Lang, and walked over and said, "Brother Qin, what's going on?"

Qin Lang took out the Panlong Order. In fact, this thing is just an access card, but it is enough to shock these people: "Investigate the case under the order!"

Cao Sheng and Zhong Haitian looked at each other. They both knew Panlong Ling and knew that Li Yuting had offended Qin Lang. But they didn't know that Qin Lang, a small official from Tiance Mansion, had the right to arrest people? Shouldn't arrest people be the affairs of the Ministry of Justice?

Li Yuting said angrily: "Qin Lang, what do you mean? How dare you catch me?"

Qin Lang winked at Chen Hu's disciple. Chen Hu tried a little harder on his bare hands. Li Yuting screamed and bowed down. Qin Lang raised the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Is this jade pendant yours?"

Li Yuting was frightened to death when he saw his lost jade pendant. In fact, he found that he had lost the jade pendant after having dinner at Chunxuelou. He Shanming reminded him at that time, but later the matter was never found. Li Yuting thought that the storm had passed. When he saw Qin Lang taking out the evidence, he immediately understood what was going on and shouted: "Qin Lang, you dare to accuse me of innocence. This jade pendant is mine, but it was clearly stolen by you when I was unprepared."

Qin Lang looked at Li Yuting with a smile, suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face. The slap suddenly shocked everyone present. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. No matter how bad Li Yuting is, his father is also the prime minister of the current dynasty. Qin Lang is at best just a son-in-law of a deposed prince.

"It is light to openly resist the orders and insult the imperial court's orders. Take him to Xiyumen and I will interrogate him in person."

There were not many warriors in Qin Lang and his party, and there were two accompanying warriors besides him and Chen Hutu.

Xiyumen is not far from Tiance Mansion. There is a prison here, which is not large in scale. In the past, it belonged to the Ministry of Justice to detain prisoners who were waiting for trial. Because of the opening of the Ministry of Justice's prison, it was empty. There are four guards responsible for guarding and maintaining the houses. Now it is under the jurisdiction of Qin Lang.

Of course, it is impossible to find so many people in a short period of time for temporary recruitment, and even if it is found, it may not be suitable for use. Fortunately, Chen Hupu has many comrades who have returned home from their ranks in Yong. More than 50 people came with a summoning call. The court allocated 500 units to Qin Lang with a large stroke of his pen and established the Xiyu Guard. Although it is under the jurisdiction of Tiance Prefecture, it is of great significance, which means that Tiance Prefecture will truly have an armed force for its own dispatch from today.

Bai Yu Palace didn't know all this. The lifestyle habits of the general of Tiance Palace, Bai Yu Palace, had never changed after three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. These days just happened to be her drying period, but something should have bound her, otherwise she would definitely not let Qin Lang be peaceful as long as she came out.

Originally, Chen Hutu was worried that this matter was related to his father, so Qin Lang showed him the secret decree, but it was the imperial decree that had been stamped with the emperor's jade seal, and appointed Qin Lang as the fifth-rank imperial guard with a knife guard, and established the Xiyu Guard to thoroughly investigate the murder of witnesses in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and reported directly to Sang Jingtian.

Li Yuting was spoiled since childhood and was used to being generous. After this kind of situation, Qin Lang took him to Xiyumen Prison. After he did not ask for confessions, he asked someone to beat him up. Li Yuting immediately admitted that the jade pendant belonged to him, and he did not dare to say that Qin Lang took the opportunity to take away his jade pendant, but said that he was unintentionally lost.

Qin Lang asked him where he was lost. Li Yuting said he didn't remember it, but he couldn't help but coax and frighten Qin Lang, and finally told him to drink in a different courtyard in He Shanming last night. Qin Lang asked for the address and immediately sent someone to search.

Qin Lang's approach was originally to treat the other person's body by his own way. If it weren't for the emperor's secret order, Qin Lang would not dare to do this without restraint. After meeting Sang Jingtian, Qin Lang fully understood that Li Yifeng's mission had been completed, and the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan wanted to replace him with Sang Jingtian.

However, Qin Lang didn't expect that Ren Xiaocheng's lost head was found from the courtyard where He Shanming lived. This was equivalent to clearing his suspicion, and all the spearheads were pointed at He Shanming.

Qin Lang knew very well that He Shanming was probably wronged. Someone was deliberately hiding this head there. This was a long-planned situation. Empress Dowager, Sang Jingtian, Chen Qiunian. Everyone may have participated in the layout. After everything is ready, they need to stand up and open a corner of the curtain. They chose themselves who have something to do with all parties but have nothing to do with them.
To be continued...
