Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty: Dragon City Chaos

The next day, early in the morning.

The rising sun is rising, and the purple air is coming from the east. The light of the early morning sprinkles on the Yunlong stone steps of Longting, dyeing the warm white marble into gold.

A piece of jade carved dragon seems to come to life, with golden scales all over its body, lifelike, full of momentum, and majestic.

"The morning is open, everyone, please go to the hall!"

With a shrill and long announcement, the minister of civil and military affairs in Longcheng stepped onto the Yunlong stone steps and entered the Longting Hall.

Xu Tianzhao was even more happy after hearing about the day when "Trident" took office yesterday.

In the past, the game with the old party clansmen won a full house. Later, after Li Chao took office, he found an excuse to expel all the teachers and students of the clan clan, and directly uprooted the old party forces in Luo Zhe Palace, doing what he always wanted to do. And the things that can't be done are very exciting!

On the day that Qin Shou took over the Xiaoqi Camp, he completely eradicated the repeated horse bandits' mental illness on the outskirts of Longcheng, which made Xu Tianzhao affirm the decision he had made against all opinions. These three people are definitely the ministers of the humerus who will help Longcheng in the future!

So today, when he went to court, Xu Tianzhao was red-faced, and he met the old party clique with the attitude of a winner, wanting to see how they would pretend to be calm and nothing happened after their defeat.

However, when all the courtiers entered the hall, Xu Tianzhao looked around, but did not see the emperor's cold pass.

At this time in the past, Emperor Shi Lengguan stood first as the representative of the courtiers.

But today, it is the head of the He family, the leader of the old party clan, who stands in the first place.

"What about Leng Shiren? I didn't go to the court today, but I didn't send anyone to ask for leave?" Xu Tianzhao wondered, Lengguan has been leading the officials as the emperor's teacher for decades, and has never been late or absent. When Quansheng was showing off his power in front of the old party clique, he disappeared.

The hundreds of officials in Longtingtang also looked at each other in dismay. Lengguan, a man who was never late, why did he disappear today? No, they all drank together last night...

Xu Tianzhao gestured to Li Chao, who was standing beside him, and asked him to go down and check what was going on.

Li Chao quietly exited the stage, attracting the attention of many ministers in the DPRK and China, all of whom knew that he was going to understand the situation.

Xu Tianzhao sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the ministers, and saw Yang Guo's lost eyes at a glance, he couldn't help laughing: "I heard that Yang Qing's family was very sincere in drinking last night.

As a result, before the banquet opened for a long time, he got drunk first? "

Following Xu Tianzhao's question, the serious atmosphere suddenly eased, all the ministers had smiles on their faces, and even Yang Guo smiled and touched the back of his head embarrassingly. Only one person had a gloomy expression on his face, and occasionally followed everyone with a fake smile.

As the focus of today's observation, He Shen's expressions all fell into Xu Tianzhao's eyes.

However, Xu Tianzhao did not have any doubts, and Quan should be the disappointment of the old party's defeat yesterday.

With a light-hearted conversation, Long Ting Zaochao's atmosphere eased a lot.

Xu Tianzhao focused on Qin Shou in the front row of the generals, but found that Qin Shou's expression was a little dazed and seemed a little anxious.

"Qin Aiqing, yesterday you took office and solved the trouble of horse bandits that plagued Longcheng for a long time. If this news is released, the people will definitely celebrate in the streets, and they won't worry about passing through the suburbs in the future. You are truly a lucky general! "Xu Tianzhao praised him generously. Qin Shou and Yang Guo were both promoted by him. To praise them was to praise their sage in disguise.

"The city lord is very praised. I heard that bandits were rampant in the suburbs when I took office yesterday, so I arranged for my men to go to suppress the bandits, but I didn't expect to find their nest and uproot them. Speaking of which, it's all luck!" Link smiled, but a haze flashed in the depths of his eyes, and even turned his head slightly to the side of the civil servants, as if he wanted to see He Shen's expression, but was afraid of being discovered and taken back.

These expressions were all in Xu Tianzhao's eyes, but they didn't point them out. He was going to ask Qin Shou in the morning and later.

"Haha, that's why you are a lonely general, and you solved the bandit troubles on the day you took office."

Afterwards, according to the procedure of the early court, other ministers made some suggestions. When the discussion in the court was about to end, Li Chao, the leader of Jinwu, returned quickly and returned to Xu Tianzhao's side, with no concealed anxiety on his face.

Li Chao whispered: "City Lord, I sent someone to ask Master Leng's house, and the answer I got was that Master Leng didn't come back at night after he went to Yang's house to celebrate last night. I also called Master Leng, and there was no answer. The person is connected. According to the information collected, after the banquet in Yang's house last night, Master Leng took He Shen's carriage back to return, but there was no trace after that..."

Xu Tianzhao's expression suddenly became serious, Master Leng disappeared overnight, and he couldn't get through on the phone, which was obviously unreasonable.

Xu Tianzhao's eyes fell on He Shen, only to see the representative of the noble family, there was a trace of dodge in his eyes, which was very suspicious.

"Okay, I know, you go to the side first."

Li Chao stood aside and resumed his duty to enforce Jinwu.

Xu Tianzhao saw that the ministers in the court were also puzzled. He wanted to know the situation of the emperor, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to clarify the matter: "I ordered Li Chao to investigate just now. His whereabouts are unknown.”

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the courtroom.

Everyone turned their attention to He Shen: "Master He, didn't the emperor take your carriage home last night? Why did the people in Lengfu say that the emperor didn't return last night?"

"Yeah, the emperor was riding in your carriage. At that time, we were all fifty or sixty people who saw it."

He Shen hurriedly concealed the panic in his eyes, and said: "The car was halfway, and the emperor said that he wanted to walk, so he got off alone. Why didn't he go home after that, Wei Chen didn't know. Don't you think I will What's wrong with the emperor? The emperor is one of the best masters in Longcheng. I, He Shen, are only a literati, and I can't understand the martial arts. They all watched the emperor get on my carriage, if there is an accident, I will be the only one to ask, I, He Shen, are not so stupid!"

He Shen explained that although it was far-fetched, it really dispelled everyone's doubts.

Indeed, when the front foot got on the carriage and the back foot disappeared, everyone's first reaction was what He Shen did. If he really wanted to do it, it would be too stupid to choose this time.

Even Xu Tianzhao's expression softened slightly. He Shen was right. After all, he was the leader of a noble family. If he was so ignorant, he wouldn't have fought him for so long.

But at this moment, Qin Shou stood up: "Lord He's words are not good. If Lord He has a reason to do it, what about killing the emperor?"

Everyone's eyes shifted to Qin Shou again, it seemed that this cavalry general knew something.

Qin Shou folded his fists and reported to Xu Tianzhaohui: "City lord, after the bandits were suppressed yesterday, when I was collecting the spoils of war in the old nest, I discovered the despised activities of the horse bandits and the noble family, and even these horse bandits were the servants of the noble family. This is a serious matter, so I did not announce it immediately, but contacted Li Jijiu yesterday and asked him to recommend him to hand over the information to the emperor... I have reason to suspect that the emperor encountered an accident!"

After Qin Shou finished speaking, he took out another piece of information from the lining of his clothes: "City Lord, this is a backup I kept, and you can see the truth at a glance!"

Xu Tianzhao looked up at Li Chao, and Li Chao nodded decisively: "It's true. General Qin said that he had something important to ask for the Emperor, so I contacted Master Leng, and finally made an appointment to discuss with Master Leng in the secret villa on the outskirts of the city, I just found out about it."

Although he knew the truth, Xu Tianzhao still held his breath and ordered Li Chao to fetch the backup rubbings and slowly close the materials after reading them.

There was silence in the hall, no one dared to speak, everyone bowed their heads, waiting for the storm to come.

The power of the sky is unpredictable, but it is.

"He Aiqing, why don't you explain it?"

The other ministers in the DPRK and China all focused on He Shen, and even the old party members wanted to know the truth of the matter, and they were calculating in their hearts. If the emperor really died, and Longcheng Zhuguo died, then they would be able to divide up more power, and even force Xu Tianzhao. As for the three newly promoted generals, their foundations are still shallow. How can they compare to the alliance of their aristocratic families? It is not clear to them.

But this He Shen is really not interesting, quietly kill Lengguan without ventilating them!

The most important point is that the horse bandit's matter has been confirmed, but they destroyed all the evidence overnight last night, and there is no evidence to prove it. Without conclusive evidence, this matter is nothing but a headless case, and the outcome will definitely be nothing.

He Shen took a deep breath and cupped his hands: "City Lord, He has worked hard all his life for Longcheng, and he has stood upright and has a clear conscience. This letter must have been deliberately forged by someone who wanted to cause internal disputes in the court and cause civil unrest in Longcheng. , also ask the city lord to investigate!"

He Shen was full of confidence and decisiveness, and the other ministers of the noble families behind him also followed suit: "Please also ask the city lord to investigate!"

Xu Tianzhao's face was gloomy, and when he saw that the noble family had come to force the palace, he knew that they must have no fear. Evidence of horse bandits and aristocratic families must have been destroyed.

"Master He means that Mr. Qin forged evidence to frame you?" Qin Shou teased.

He Shen immediately clasped his fists: "Don't dare! General Qin played the prestige of my Dragon City in the first battle of the beast tide, and led his soldiers to play the most beautiful one in history. The battle damage is lower than ever. I just think that someone may deliberately use Qin. Sir. Otherwise, we have been sieging and suppressing the horse bandits to no avail for several years. As soon as Master Qin arrives, he will be killed by arranging a random group of cavalry. Isn't this strange?"

Executive Jinwu Li Chao also spoke at this time: "City Lord, it's not difficult to investigate this matter, as long as you retrieve the surveillance on the way to Yang's residence in the main city last night, you can find the whereabouts of Master Leng."

Xu Tianzhao knew that this was the best chance to overthrow the family. The horse bandit incident and the disappearance of the emperor's teacher were superimposed, and the turbulent public opinion was enough to tear up any family.

"Okay, then investigate this matter thoroughly, and everyone will follow me to the Supervision Department to obtain the video." The crowd rushed to the Supervision Department. Xu Tianzhao, Li Chao, Qin Shou, and Yang Guo shared a car, and the others also Gather together.

On the dragon carriage, Xu Tianzhao's face was gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, and he did not hide his anger at all.

"So, there is a high probability that Master Leng was killed." Xu Tianzhao reassured his conjecture when he remembered He Shen's changed expressions and eyes in the courtroom several times, as well as the final forced palace.

Li Chao and Link also acted, looking frustrated, it was obviously difficult to accept this fact.

"Just now I asked to go to the Supervision Division to get the video. He Shen seemed to be unafraid. It is estimated that he had already bought the Supervision Division to delete the video recording. This way will not work. It seems that we have to find other ways." Xu Tianzhao analyzed.

Now all the plots are developing according to what Link said, and Li Chao also put forward his advice in time: "City Lord, the Supervision Division has cooperated with Monster Security Company some time ago in terms of communication, even if the supervision division's video data is deleted, it can be The communication department under the Monster Security Company also has backups..."

Xu Tianzhao frowned: "Shadu and the old party clan have been on the same page for a long time, and they must be in the same breath, and the video data must also be destroyed. This road will not work."

Li Chao, Link, and Silver Hand snickered in their hearts, the Monster Security Company couldn't get the old party officials to speak, and the road video was ready last night, as long as they came to the door at any time.

"City lord, let me go. Li Jijiu will stay here and take charge of the overall situation. General Qin will protect himself. I will go and return quickly." Yang Guo, played by Yinshou, said immediately.

Xu Tianzhao also felt that he needed to give it a try. He damaged the cold pass, and also discovered the information that the horse bandits were the aristocratic family. Any possible opportunity cannot be missed.

Silver Hand jumped off the dragon carriage and left quickly.

In the carriage that followed, He Shen also told several family patriarchs about what happened yesterday, but added some spring and autumn brushwork.

Last night, He Shen and others followed Lengguan to the villa in the suburbs. He Shen vaguely remembered that when he was about to leave, the family sent a lot of people to wait outside the villa. Because of the dispute with Lengguan, they fought violently. Then he was knocked unconscious.

After waking up, his subordinates also fell to the ground and fainted. There were a lot of casualties, but Leng Guan had a lot of wounds on his body, blood flowed all over the place, and he was completely dead.

Immediately, He Shen was ecstatic, and then immediately arranged for his family's subordinates to deal with the scene, remove traces, and delete the video.

In the process, a large number of gold and silver treasures stored in cold doors were also discovered...

Of course, He Shen cut out part of what He Shen said to the patriarchs of other clans and clans, and described passive counterattacks as active attacks, which lured the cold pass to this point, and won the unanimous praise of several other patriarchs and patriarchs.

"The head of the He family has done a good job. Now there is no evidence against him, and the evidence has been cleaned up."

"When Lengguan died, Xu Tianzhao's biggest support was gone. Although the remaining Qin Shou, Yang Guo and Li Chao were difficult, it was not impossible. Start with Li Chao, who Xu Tianzhao trusted most, and then provoke Qin Shou, Yang Guo and Xu Tianzhao. relationship, and solve the trouble bit by bit.”

"I have already taken care of the supervision department. No matter how he behaves, Xu Tianzhao will never convict me!"

"Perhaps, we can directly use today's slander to come to the side of Qing Jun and kill Li Chao first..."

"Good strategy, I will arrange it now!"

"I also……"

Several patriarchs picked up their mobile phones and contacted other patriarchs or private soldiers.

A storm is quietly gathering over the Dragon City...
