Gu Xinglang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ling Heng, and his eyes only swept across Yang Luo's face: "Isn't it just entering a dark room? Ha, this prince doesn't even take it seriously. Hey, damn eunuch, lead the way!"
Cai Zhong didn't dare to curse back.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you are a foreign minister. Without the summons of our Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor, how dare you trespass into the Eastern Palace of Northern Jin!" Zheng Xinjiang's voice was heard by several people in Lingxiao Palace from outside, full of warning.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, if you take another step forward, don't blame us for being rude! This is your second time breaking into the palace. Archers, get ready!"
Dozens of archers drew their bows and waited for Zheng Xinjiang's raised hand to fall, so that they could shoot His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince into a hedgehog on the spot.
"Who dares to do that? You Northern Jin are too arrogant. The evidence is irrefutable that Su Binxu, the son of Yongning Marquis, killed the son of an important official of our country. Bai Hongxian has already locked him up, but he won't allow me to take him away and deal with him. Don't you allow me to come to your Northern Jin crown prince to ask for an explanation?"
Zheng Xinjiang was stunned. He had no idea about this matter. Was Su Binxu really that bold?
The hand that had just been raised high, ready to shoot an arrow, drooped down limply.
The veins on Ling Heng's forehead were throbbing. He glanced at Yang Luo and Gu Xinglang, then strode out.
Gu Xingyan's face was full of anger. On his left and right were Shu Wenbo and Liang Tianyou, and in front of him was Mo Lin.
Dozens of imperial guards surrounded him, and on the palace walls and towers, countless archers were aiming at them.
However, apart from anger, there was no trace of fear on Gu Xingyan's face. The murderous aura that came from the sea of blood and corpses forced Zheng Xinjiang and others to weaken their momentum by three points.
Seeing Ling Heng coming out, he smiled coldly: "I think the Crown Prince of Northern Jin has received the letter from my Emperor Daliang. Fu Chenhui has been murdered in Shengjing for so long, and your three major government offices have been solving the case at a snail's pace, but I have never asked a single question."
Ling Heng's face darkened. You didn't ask about it, but you let the two little brothers beside you block the gate of the government office every day, making it impossible for them to concentrate on investigating the case.
He had already received the letter from the Emperor of Daliang, which was very impolite, saying that the Northern Jin's move was a challenge to the great power authority of Daliang.
If we fail to give them a satisfactory answer, we will send our army to invade our border!
Daliang has plenty of confidence and is not afraid that the Ninth Prince of Daliang is still in Northern Jin.
If the Crown Prince of Northern Jin has the courage, he may give it a try.
"Now, we have all the evidence. A mere son of a marquis dared to kill the son of an important official of Daliang. Bai Hongxian even dared to protect him. Does he think that Daliang is weak and can be bullied?"
Ling Heng was patient and took a deep breath: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, if it is true as you said, and the evidence is conclusive, the three major government offices must act according to the law."
"Ninth brother, why are you here?" Gu Xinglang, who was following behind Cai Zhong, broke free from the hands of the imperial guards who were holding him, poked his head out and waved at Gu Xingyan.
"Master Gu?" Shu Wenbo opened his mouth in surprise, as if asking, "When did you come? Am I hallucinating?"
"Second brother? Why are you here? Prince of Northern Jin, what do you mean? Why is my second brother being held by your people from the East Palace?"
Ling Heng was so angry that he laughed: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is so good at turning the tables. I am ashamed of myself. Why don't you ask him how he came to Shengjing first?"
Gu Xinglang chuckled and retracted his neck.
Liang Tianyou drew the sword from his waist and said, "Brother Jiu, I heard that Beijin has spies everywhere. Did he send people to the Sijiu City to abduct Gu Shizi because he couldn't solve Fu Chenhui's case? He wants to force us to retreat! Ling Heng, you are so sinister!"
Ling Heng: “…”
He was really fed up with this kind of shit, one thing after another. The Daliang delegation should have gotten out of Northern Jin long ago.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, are all the people of Daliang as shameless as Young Master Liang?"
"Come here, announce Bai Hongxian, Zhang Maozheng, and Meng Yulin to the palace."
Gu Xinglang poked his head out and said, "Prince of Northern Jin, do I still want to go to this secret room?"
Ling Heng was too lazy to pay attention to him. This Gu Xinglang was just a scoundrel. How could the Emperor of Daliang like such a man and make him the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards of the Daliang Palace?
It is simply an insult to Zheng Xinjiang.
Gu Xingyan came, and Yang Luo felt it was time for her to leave.
After packing up her things, she came out and said, "Your Highness, the young prince is safe. If everything is fine, please send someone to escort me out of the palace."
At this time, Doctor Fang came out from the bedroom in a hurry: "Doctor Luo, Doctor Luo."
Yang Luo's expression tensed, wondering if there was something wrong with the child again.
"What's wrong? Is the young master sick again? This shouldn't be possible."
Ling Heng also hurriedly looked at Doctor Fang.
Doctor Fang said quickly, "Oh, no. It's just that I think the young master's condition is still not very stable, and several of us doctors have discussed several follow-up treatment plans. Doctor Luo, can you help take a look and give some advice?"
The situation outside was tense, and inside they were still discussing how to save the child.
Yang Luo couldn't say no.
Although she didn't know what kind of relationship Sister Yan had with the child, she had mentioned it a few days ago, and judging from her expression, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Ling Heng also looked at her: "I will not force you to stay any longer."
Yang Luo looked at Doctor Fang and said, "Okay."
Not long after, Bai Hongxian and three others entered the palace.
Originally, they thought they were lucky today as there was a witness descending from the sky.
The case has been stuck for so long, but a key witness was suddenly found this afternoon.
All the evidence, including witnesses and physical evidence, points to Su Binxu.
The two men fought over a girl from a brothel called Xiangxiangge.
When Su Binxu broke into the room, he happened to see Fu Chenhui lying on his beloved girl and working hard.
And the girl was resisting and crying.
Su Binxu immediately became furious and started fighting with Fu Chenhui.
He didn't know the man's identity.
Fu Chenhui was almost hurt in the Temple of Descendants, and he was also furious.
But he was self-righteous and knew that he could not reveal his identity in Shengjing City.
He immediately said that the two of them should go out and fight, and whoever won would get the beauty.
Su Binxu was so angry, but he couldn't let his family know that he kept a prostitute, so he agreed.
The two found a secluded place to fight.
After all, it's not very glorious to do it for a brothel girl.
It was a dark, windy and rainy night. Su Binxu was tall and strong, and he knocked the man down in just a few moves.
Fu Chenhui refused to accept the result and shouted, cursing and saying dirty words.
Su Binxu was so excited that he drew the knife from his waist and stabbed the man countless times.
Seeing that he had killed someone, Su Binxu, who had calmed down, also panicked. Fortunately, God protected him, it rained heavily, and the sky was dark, so he threw the body directly into the moat.
After two hours, the water level in the moat rose a lot, washing away all traces of the fight between the two men and the murder.
It was not until the body was fished out of the moat several miles away that Su Binxu realized that the person he had killed was actually a member of the Daliang delegation.
What’s even more terrible is that he is the son of the commander of the Daliang Yongwei Camp.
Su Binxu knew that he had caused a huge disaster, so he had been hiding in the mansion for a while, not daring to leave.
