After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Liu Lang took two steps at a time, walked quickly to the lame man and squatted down.

The lame man's muscles tensed up at first, and he was very alert. Then when he saw Liu Lang's face, he froze in place.

Liu Lang, with trembling hands, gently brushed aside the cripple's messy hair. In an instant, a familiar face appeared before him!

Liu Lang's lips moved several times before he found his voice again: "Master, why are you here?"

The lame man's lips were pale and his face was covered with dirt.

He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter it out with a trembling voice. Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence.

"Didn't I tell you to go to the North? Why are you back?"

Liu Lang wanted to tell his master everything, but he was afraid that someone might have ears. "It's a long story. Master, what did you do wrong to be arrested?"

The lame man was furious when he mentioned this. "Back then, I was... ahem, injured in Kyoto. I couldn't go south, so I thought about finding a job and resting for a while."

"It just so happens that the Su family likes martial arts and recruits martial artists. With my skills, I should be able to make a living, even if I can't be the best. I didn't expect that Boss Qiu, who is so unpromising, would be defeated by Lady Huang, and our path is cut off!"

"I lingered on for months, and finally, there was a way out. Boss Qiu came to me again and said that he wanted me to do a deal. I don't know who was the bastard who urged me to do it so quickly! Now, all of us are in jail!"

Liu Lang's heart slowly cooled down.

So, I am the one who caused my master to be imprisoned? !

The lame man whispered in his ear, "Although the employer looks like a Central Plains person, I think this matter must be related to the Northern Territory. Maybe the Marquis of Yongchang has already defected to the Northern Territory."

After the lame man finished his story, he looked at Liu Lang and said, "Why were you imprisoned? Let's think of a way to redeem you."

Liu Lang smiled bitterly: "It was also because of the Yongchang Marquis that he was arrested."

The lame man spat on the ground and cursed inwardly: "We are not compatible with the Yongchang Marquisate, so don't get close to them in the future."

"I don't know if I owed them in my previous life, why are they so unlucky for us, master and disciple!"

Not far away from the prison, General Longwu Li Aotian was sitting in the upper seat, feeling secretly happy.

It feels much better to have your love rival help you achieve great things than to fight for your life on your own!

"General Li, we have arrested three groups of people in a row. Do you want to torture them severely?"

Li Aotian nodded slightly: "I think this group of people are a bit like spies from the North. You can interrogate them on your own, maybe you can catch a big fish."

"Then should the Marquis of Yongchang be released?"

Li Aotian lowered his eyes, a hint of coldness appeared at the corners of his mouth. "Has the wife of Yongchang Marquis spoken yet?"

"Never."

"Then there's no need to release it. This means the bait is still useful."

The county magistrate nodded, and then hurried to seek help from Dali Temple Qing.

There was no curfew in the capital of the Great Zhou. There were many brothels and nightclubs, all brightly lit. The air was filled with the scent of cosmetics, and the sounds of men and women flirting were everywhere, making people feel itchy.

But the county magistrate did not care about these and only wanted to go to the house of the Dali Temple Minister.

"County Magistrate Wu, what brings you here?" The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple had a kind face.

Although County Magistrate Wu is a small county magistrate, he is in charge of the Kyoto area.

It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, so many people will still give County Magistrate Wu a little face.

Magistrate Wu didn't even have time to drink his tea. He signaled the temple official to send the servants away and have a secret talk.

Although the Dali Temple Minister was confused, he still followed the advice.

"Sir, I'm here to seek your help." Magistrate Wu explained the whole story, then said with a bitter face, "Now my prison is full of people! If another wave of thieves comes and opens the prison, I'm afraid there will be a big mess!"

The Dali Temple Minister was also shocked: "You mean, the wife of the Yongchang Marquis used the Yongchang Marquis as bait to lure out a large number of thieves? General Longwu also suspected that these thieves had connections with the Northern Territory?!"

"exactly!"

"No, Marquis Yongchang has been guarding the border for more than ten years. He should have a deep blood feud with the North. They should be mortal enemies! Why would they go to save Marquis Yongchang? This doesn't make sense!"

Magistrate Wu: "Perhaps there is collusion?"

The Dali Temple Minister had a face full of doubts: "Then the wife of the Yongchang Marquis should have kept this a secret. They are husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace, and their fates are linked. Why do you need to use the Yongchang Marquis as bait to expose this matter?"

County Magistrate Wu also didn't understand, and could only speculate: "Perhaps it's because the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang is so righteous that she killed her own relatives for the sake of justice?"

The Dali Temple's mind was in a mess: "I don't understand and am shocked. What does the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang want?"

"The wife of Marquis Yongchang is far-sighted and has a lot of ambitions. How can we speculate about her?" Although Magistrate Wu could not sacrifice her own relatives for the sake of justice, he extremely admired people like the wife of Marquis Yongchang who put the country first.

It is precisely because of the existence of these people that we have the peaceful Kyoto and the stable Great Zhou today.

The Dali Temple Minister didn't understand, but he still had to help: "This matter is quite urgent. If we follow the normal process, it will take more than half a month to complete it. I will go to see the emperor tomorrow and explain this matter to him. Please make a decision."

"Please, sir!"

Having successfully pushed this important matter onto the tall man, County Magistrate Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.

It involves the Northern Territory and there are so many people involved, I can just take a little credit for it. If I really want to take all the credit, I'm afraid it won't be a credit, but it will cost me my life!

The sun rises in the east.

Early the next morning, the Dali Temple Minister reported the matter secretly to the emperor.

The young emperor suddenly realized and said happily, "So this is my sister's real intention! To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country! My sister is determined to fight to the death with the North, but over the years, the North has ambushed countless spies in the Great Zhou! With this group of people holding us back, no wonder we have been defeated in battles with the North!"

Although the Dali Temple Minister did not understand why the wife of Yongchang Marquis did this from a personal perspective, from the perspective of the court, the wife of Yongchang Marquis's actions were amazing.

"You only need to wrong a small Marquis Yongchang to lure out a large number of spies from the northern border! You are worthy of being the wisest man in the Great Zhou!"

The young emperor looked ashamed: "I was narrow-minded and misunderstood my sister! It turns out that she was not acting on impulse, nor for her own selfish reasons. She was doing this for our Great Zhou! There have been so many rumors during this period, and my sister has been wronged."

"Yes, it is said that a secret should not be told to anyone else. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang swallowed her anger and did not tell anyone about it! She endured such humiliation and hardship, and we are ashamed of ourselves!"

The young emperor wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "In that case, you should cooperate with Magistrate Wu and torture those thieves severely. If there are dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water, then kill them on the spot for treason!"
