Wulong Inn

"It's simply unreasonable!" Walking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony angrily, Lord Wei lost his composure in the hall and said in a very groggy manner.

It's no wonder he was so angry, the development of things in the court today was completely beyond his expectation.Thinking that he was originally from one of the three great families of the Wei family, standing in the court hall, behind him represented the Wei family. In the past, even Emperor Dexing would sell him a little more face when he came to court, but that horizontal His Royal Highness the crown prince who was born in the world, acts completely differently, and there is no room for duty in his words, which makes him unable to step down.

If all of this just made him hold his breath, then the development of the situation made him secretly startled. Although he was still a little confused about the temperament of the unpredictable His Royal Highness, there was one thing that he was very nervous about. It is clear that the other party is definitely not a fool. The three-foot square platform where the imperial case is placed will no longer be a decoration, and the political affairs of Kaiyuan in the future may not be left to their own discretion!

Thinking of this, Mr. Wei rubbed the center of his brows a little irritably, various thoughts flashed in his mind, the look in his eyes darkened, but he thought of the original purpose of going to court today, to eradicate the Zhang family. The rest of the party!

Thinking that the ancestor of the Yuan family was able to take down the young master of the Zhang family in one fell swoop with the help of His Majesty, the purpose was to completely break up the remnants of Cangzhou with the Kaiyuan court. Although it failed in the end, it was considered embarrassing.

Originally, Master Wei still wanted to add fuel to the flames in today's court, and let His Majesty distribute the sea arrest documents to make this matter a reality. Thinking about it, with His Majesty's temperament, even if he was still a little uncertain, this time Riding a tiger is hard to get off, and you will definitely make up your mind to get rid of this serious trouble in one fell swoop.It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as the sky's calculations. Who would have thought that there would be such a big change today.

If you want to use the power of the court to achieve something, I'm afraid it will be impossible. Could it be that this matter has been shelved like this, Master Wei frowned fiercely, no way!I don't know what kind of determination he made, but a sharp flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Walking to the outside of the palace, there were already various small sedan chairs waiting for the elders who went up to the court. Lord Wei got into the sedan chair, but he was not in a hurry to go home, but bowed his head and whispered a few words to the Chang Sui beside him, the Chang Sui heard the words, When he rolled his eyes, he took his orders.

It was night, and the noisy city was more lively than usual, but the students who took the exam finally ended their torment in the Gongyuan, and all the teahouses and taverns in the city were full as expected. At this time, I am full of ambition and drink happily, and there are also students who are worried about gains and losses or who are often exerting themselves, occupying a corner to drink away their sorrows and drink alone.

The students came from all over the country, and the day when the rankings are released is likely to be the time when many people leave. The students who have just become close friends, knowing that parting is imminent, are even more unrestrained, and carry out the last madness to the end.

Different from the hustle and bustle inside the city, at this time, the outer city of the central capital was deserted, and the night was as cold as water, and the towering towers only added to the sense of oppression in the night.

Today, for some unknown reason, there were many more officers and soldiers guarding the city tower than usual, and their expressions were also more alert. Listening to the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers back and forth, it seemed that even the air was a little more dignified.

A clear sound of horseshoes broke the stillness, but a carriage was driving out from the inner city at high speed. The carriage was driving all the way in a hurry, and had to stop when it reached the closed gate of the city.

As soon as the driver reined in the reins, he saw a soldier dressed as a junior non-commissioned officer walking towards him.The groom recognized the visitor by the light of the fire, and he was quite sensible, and respectfully handed over a few big money, and said very politely: "Master Jun."

It's a pity that the tried-and-tested move is useless today, "Go, go, go," saw the soldier push the driver's hand impatiently, and said in an official tone: "By the way It's not too shameful to try to buy Lao Tzu with a few broken coins."

"What the military master said is true," the young driver hurriedly put away the money in his hand, and said in awe, "but I don't know why this city gate is not allowed to be released?"

"What are you asking so much for?" the soldier looked even more impatient, and said casually after hearing the words, he went forward and walked to the back of the carriage. Master Jun, you are..."

"Don't be so wordy," the soldier said arrogantly as he waved away the outstretched hand of the groom. He didn't stop, and was about to step forward to pull the curtain on the car when he heard a female voice say: "How dare!"

The soldier man was shocked when he heard the sound, as if he hadn't expected that there was a female passenger in the car, he couldn't help but retracted his outstretched hand, and his tone became more relaxed: "This girl is invited, and Shangfeng has an order. All vehicles going out of the city will be inspected, this girl, please get out of the car for convenience."

"Nonsense, who did you order? We obviously didn't check when we entered the city." The female voice said very delicately.

The soldier was taken aback by the girl's domineering attitude, and before he could react, he heard a deep male voice in the car shout angrily: "Nonsense." Then, the woman whispered something dissatisfied, and then turned off made a sound.

Not long after, a handsome middle-aged man came out of the carriage, and he bowed his hands to the sergeant, and said very politely: "My little girl is shameless, I'm sorry."

"Where?" the sergeant saw that the Lord was coming, and his tone was a little more respectful.

"But I don't know why the city gate is under martial law." The middle-aged man asked casually.

"Oh, that's right," the sergeant said bluntly: "We also received the order from Shangfeng, saying that some important criminals escaped from the prison, so we must strictly investigate."

The sergeant was also a talkative person, so he wanted to say a few more words, but before he could say a few words, a majestic male voice asked loudly, "What's going on over there."

The junior sergeant turned serious when he heard the words, and respectfully said in the direction of the source of the voice: "My lord, this old gentleman is going out of the city, and the subordinate officer is investigating."

"Then what are you talking about, why don't you check it quickly!" The 'adult' obviously had no patience, and said impatiently after hearing the words.

"Yes, my lord." The junior sergeant didn't say much anymore, and stretched out his hand to pull the curtain again, looking businesslike.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing the sudden change in the situation, the old man couldn't help being a little anxious, and couldn't help but stop it.

The 'adult' rolled his eyes strangely when he heard the words, and said in a suspicious voice: "Old man, you have blocked me so much, but what is there to hide in this car?" Seeing the situation, there was also a bit of hesitation on the face, and the Shangguan didn't say much anymore, and pushed the old man away to check it out.

"There are still female relatives in the car, this lord must not be too presumptuous!" Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but said anxiously.

"Oh, female family," I saw the guard 'adult' smiled evilly, and said nonchalantly: "I am the most compassionate and cherish jade, and I will not be abrupt anymore Miss, said, stepped forward, and vigorously pulled the carriage away. curtain.

An exclamation sounded, and everyone's eyes fell on a young man and a woman hugging each other in the car.

"Oh, what's the matter, I said, it turned out to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks," said the 'adult' with a strange tone after presumptuously looking at it a few times.Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, his eyes became more and more unfriendly, staring closely at the flustered old man, he said sinisterly: "Speaking of which, you were so anxious just now, you blocked my way several times, could it be that you want to send me off?" This is going to leave the city!" Seeing him pulling the man out of the car, his tone became more and more sharp.

"My lord, where do you start and what is the crime, I really don't understand." The old man's head was already cold, and his tone was a little more anxious. He stared at the young man next to him, as if He didn't dare to pull it back.

Seeing the old man's reaction like this, the 'adult' became more convinced of what he thought in his heart, pulled the pale-faced young man and snorted: "If you say you don't want to commit a crime, then why are you in such a hurry to go out of the city so late at night, or follow me to the yamen Let's go!" Saying that, he was about to order his subordinates around him to arrest the young man and leave.

"This is groundless, my lord can make a false accusation." Seeing this, the old man couldn't help stepping forward to stop him.

The 'adult' sneered and was about to talk, when a clear male voice suddenly interjected: "Oh, I don't know what other criminals escaped from this prison, but I don't know whose order the guard is serving?"

The garrison raised his head when he heard the sound, and his face changed slightly when he saw who was coming, but he still said loudly: "This matter will be supervised by Lord Wei himself, and I still have the official document issued by the Wucheng Army and Horse Division in my hand. Why, Yuan The third young master must take a look!"

It was the third son of the Yuan family, Yuan Tianlang, who came here with the crowd. He just saw the scene at the door. He didn't know what happened. He only thought that the person he was looking for was caught. Before that, his tone became much tougher: "It's better not to talk too much, my lord, so we can meet each other in the future."

While talking, he got in the middle of the crowd. When he saw the captured young man, he was startled. The young man seemed to be shocked when he saw him. However, the two immediately restrained their expressions and looked at each other. After a moment, they separated without a trace.

When he spoke again, Yuan Tianlang's tone was much calmer: "What evidence does your lord have to say that this young man is the fugitive?"

Hearing the words, the guard couldn't help but complacently said: "When the fugitive escaped from prison, he was injured by a sharp weapon, and there must be scars on his body. You can find out at this time." Looking at the attitudes of everyone, the guard's face became more and more determined. It was the person he was looking for, so his tone became a little more arrogant.

"Oh," Yuan Tianlang said with a long voice, his expression unchanged: "Since what your lord said, then this person must have wounds on his body."

"That's natural." Defense said very firmly.

"Since your lord is so sure, why not prove your integrity here. If you want to commit a crime, it's best. If you want to wrong a good person, then let him go. It will also save this little brother from suffering in prison for nothing, and let your lord bear the blame for nothing." The charge of framing." Yuan Tianlang said with a chuckle, his expression a little more relaxed.

Seeing Yuan Tianlang's attitude, the guard clearly wanted to protect the man in front of him, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Your Excellency, don't be aggressive, I always enforce the law impartially, so let's take a look at it, if this kid is really injured, so what?"

"It's up to the adults to dispose of it." Yuan Tianlang closed his eyes slightly, and said leisurely, he didn't care much about the fate of the young man in his words, as if he just blocked his words just because he was interested in meddling in a business.

Seeing this, the guard didn't hesitate any longer, and cast a malicious look at the frightened man, then flirted with the subordinates around him.

The two soldiers were ordered to remove the boy's long gown.

Seeing this, the boy who was still subdued couldn't help but struggle vigorously. However, how could a frail boy fight against a rough soldier? After struggling a few times in vain, the boy was finally forced to expose his upper body.

There was already a determined smile on the defensive face, but then, the smile disappeared: "How could it be..." Looking at the hippie and tender guy in front of him, he didn't even have a broken skin on his body. , that defense is unbelievable.

His gaze swept across the angry young man, and Yuan Tianlang had a smile on his lips, and his tone was very casual: "My lord, you have also checked, whether this person has a knife wound on his body, you can also look at it." Cleared?"

"This..." The guard was a little dumbfounded, looking at everything in front of him, he was speechless for a while.

"Since they are not the important criminals that the adults are looking for, then let them go out of the city." Yuan Tianlang said seemingly unintentionally: "It just so happened that the city gate was opened, so I can get out of the city right now."

"Your Majesty Wei has an order, all horses and carriages are not allowed to leave the city tonight." The guard was anxious when he heard the words, and hurriedly said.

"Oh," Yuan Tianlang raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise, "Master Wei must have made a fuss over a molehill just to arrest a major criminal."

"Well, I'm just following orders." The guard bit the bullet and said.

Looking up at the garrison, Yuan Tianlang said provocatively, "So, your lord is going to stop me?"

Guarding his eyes and not saying a word, it was a default.

"Then your lord is going to stop this tiger talisman token?" Yuan Tianlang took out a square token from his bosom, looked at the guard with a half-smile, and said leisurely.
