"General Huang, there is no one in the house, only a dozen corpses of brothers from the Duwei Mansion were found..."

"I've searched all of them?"

"I searched everything inside and out, but I didn't find anyone..."

After receiving the information, Huang Zheng, the general of the Imperial Guard Hu Ben Camp, rushed to the house as soon as possible, but he was still empty. Shangguan Yan, Huangfu Zhai and others had already left the secret passage prepared in advance.

Looking at the thirteen unrecognizable corpses lying side by side on the ground, Huang Zheng carefully looked at the wounds on each person with a straw in his mouth. Finally, he reached out and pulled out the identity bronze medal hanging on the left breast armor of a soldier in the Duwei Mansion, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

Suddenly he asked his subordinates, "Who is the commander on duty today?"

A soldier from Hu Ben Camp immediately stepped forward and said to Huang Zheng, "Report to General Huang, today's commander is Ling Changge Ling Duwei..."

Huang Zheng nodded, pointed to the pile of corpses and said, "Let's see if there is any shadow of Ling Duwei here..."

The soldiers of the Huben Camp hurriedly said, "Report to General Huang, my subordinates saw the Ling Duwei running towards the Ning Prince's Mansion alone, so they infer that there was no body of Ling Duwei..."

Huang Zheng said "Oh", and looked like he suddenly realized, then smiled and stood up and said, "Ling Changge neglected his duties and left his post without hesitation. He was just a big deal at this time. Well, this is too coincidental..."

At this moment, Ling Changge, who received the news, came to the house with an anxious look on his face. Looking at the bodies of his colleagues all over the ground, his face suddenly turned pale.

Huang Zheng looked at Ling Changge with a look of at a loss, stepped forward and threw the identity card of the Duwei Mansion into his arms, and asked with a smile, "Duwei Ling, is the soldier of your Duwei Mansion lying on the ground?"

Ling Changge looked at the wooden sign in his hand blankly, nodded and said, "It's from my Duwei Mansion, these are all Ling's subordinates..."

Huang Zheng snorted coldly when he heard this, and asked again, "So, I want to ask, where did you, Captain Ling, go again when something big happened?"

Ling Changge bowed and said, "When General Huang said, His Highness Ning sent someone to the mansion to gather. Bei Zhi just heard that Bei Zhi's subordinates were attacked by evil people, so he rushed back..."

"Oh..." Huang Zheng nodded, pinched his chin, and circled around Ling Changge, and suddenly said to a soldier in the Huben Camp, "How could such a coincidence happen? Just as Ling Duwei left, his subordinates were attacked by evil people and all died of death?"

Ling Changge frowned when he heard this and immediately retorted, "General Huang, what do you mean? Are you doubting a humble position?"

Huang Zheng said, "Emperor Ling, such a big thing happened as soon as you left. Isn't this a coincidence?"

Ling Changge said angrily, "General Huang, Bei Zhi was really called to a gathering by His Highness Ning at that time. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask His Highness Ning..."

"What does Your Highness Ning call you?" Huang Zheng asked with his eyes narrowed, "Why did the good-looking Your Highness Ning summon you? What did you talk about?"

Ling Changge's face calmed down, and then he whispered, "Your Highness Ning just asked for a cup of tea, no other intention..."

"Hahaha..." Huang Zheng laughed three times when he heard this, then shook his head and said to Ling Changge, "You left your post without permission to go to the Ning Palace just to let you have a tea with His Highness Ning? Who would believe this when you say this?"

Ling Changge was a little angry, "General Huang, do you believe it or not? Anyway, what I'm talking about is the truth..."

"Stop putting on me some bad airs!" Huang Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Don't think I don't know. You are the son-in-law of Taiwei Guo, and I am afraid of you. What I, Huang Zheng, don't like most in my life, is a guy like you who is a stingy person. In my opinion, it is clearly that you have intervened thieves and murdered the lives of these brothers in the Duwei Mansion!"

"Huang Zheng, don't swear!" Ling Changge shouted loudly and said angrily, "I really don't know where I offended you. Since I entered the Imperial Guard Mansion, you have been making things difficult for me everywhere. Thinking of the friendship between my colleagues, I tolerate everything, but it does not mean that I can let you slander my innocence out of thin air!"

"You are innocent? Bah..." Huang Zheng snorted disdainfully, and even spit out the straw in his mouth. "Do I need to say those shameful things you did in Longzhou to everyone!"

Ling Changge's fist was tightly squeezed, and his eyes staring at Huang Zheng seemed to be able to spit out fire.

Huang Zheng continued, "You don't need to stare at me like this. Xiang Zhifei has told me everything. It was you who forcibly took away the suspect in the hands of the Xiaowei Army in front of him.

Then on the way to escort the suspect, you ran to the Ning Palace for no reason to have a cup of tea? Then your brothers suddenly died of misfortune. How dare you ask Ling Duwei, is there such a coincidence? Who believes it if you tell me?"

Ling Changge said angrily, "But someone did come to inform us at that time, and asked Bei Zhi to go to His Highness Ning's mansion to retaliate. My brothers all saw it with their own eyes..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zheng pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "There is no evidence to die. Who can prove whether what you said is true or false? Who has seen it? Now that there is such a big case, whether you, Ling Changge, really collude with thieves to kill my imperial guards, you can't stand it anyway!"

Ling Changge proudly said, "Your Highness Ning can prove that everything I say is true. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask Your Highness Ning..."

"Oh, have you returned the responsibility to King Ning again?" Huang Zheng said with a smile, "Okay, I will accompany you to Prince Ning's Mansion..."

Ling Changge bowed and said, "Let General Huang lead the way..."

"No need..." Huang Zheng stopped Ling Changge's actions, and then said to the surrounding Hu Ben soldiers, "You remove the guy from Ling Duwei and tie him up..."

"As for orders..."

When Huang Zheng's subordinates around him heard the order, they immediately stepped forward to remove Ling Changge's equipment.

Seeing this, Ling Changge immediately pulled his sword and took two steps back and shouted at Huang Zheng, "General Huang, what do you mean? Can't you treat me as a crime?"

Huang Zheng sneered and said, "Emperor Ling, you are the most suspicious now. If you want to run away, how can I explain to you? I honestly remove all the armor and weapons, otherwise I will be killed according to the crime of arrest!"

"you……"

Ling Changge stared at Huang Zheng fiercely, intending to act in resistance, but when he saw the Tiger Soldiers surrounding him, he still gritted his teeth and gave up his plan to resist.

Ling Changge dropped the weapon in his hand, then sighed and said, "I am not afraid of being skewed by the shadows. It's just General Huang. If you wrongly accused a good person, it will see how you end up..."

"Tie..."

Huang Zheng ignored Ling Changge's words and waved his hand to tie his hands tightly with his back. Then he ordered a team of soldiers to block the scene, and then took Ling Changge to the Ning Palace.

On the other side, Shangguan Yan and others who escaped to another house through the secret passage of the house, immediately prepared to part ways with Huangfu Zhai after they broke away from the Imperial Guards' pursuit.

Before leaving, Shangguan Yan asked Huangfu Zhai, "I'm very curious, how did you leave a mark for the officers and soldiers to find this place. I know you have a lot of hidden stakes in the city, but I just learned about it with Daersi, and you didn't have any other moves throughout the whole process."

Huangfu Zhai said, "You have the face to ask me even with such a simple method. I can only say that the cultivation of you over the years was my mistake. You are much stupider than I thought.

Do you have to do it yourself if you leave a mark? There is blood on the car that pulls the body. Your person is too ruthless, causing the wound on the body to break severely. The blood will naturally fall along the bottom of the car to the nest where you are hiding.

It’s because your subordinates are too stupid to do things, they only have the ability to kill people but don’t have the brain to cure the aftermath. If they are my subordinates, I will let them commit suicide on the first day. The various behaviors along the way are really stupid to make me breathless.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yan turned around and stared at Daersi and others. The moment they looked in contact with each other, they were so scared that they were sweating profusely...

Daersi and his men rolled their Adam's apples, and hurriedly bowed to Shangguan Yan and said, "Sorry, Master, it's my negligence. Please give me another chance to redeem your sins..."

Shangguan Yan remained silent, and the silent atmosphere made the three people who were performing the mission so scared that they didn't dare to breathe.

After a long time, Shangguan Yan said, "Forget it, let's do it for now..."

"Thank you, Master..."

After hearing Shangguan Yan's words, Daersi and others breathed a long sigh. The pressure Shangguan Yan brought them was from mental torture.

Huangfu Zhai looked at all this silently, and then said to Shangguan Yan, "Do you have anything else to ask? Now ask, I will definitely tell you the answer..."

Shangguan Yanqi said, "When did you become so generous? You actually took the initiative to worry about my questions?"

Huangfu Zhai said, "Only those who have been abandoned by me will make me too lazy to give in and give him some advice. It would be better to tell you the questions in your heart at once, and to completely end the relationship between you and me..."

"Ha..." Shangguan Yan laughed dryly when she heard this, "Why do you feel colder than the ice and snow in December..."

Huangfu Zhai said lightly, "Put your feelings away. If you have any questions, just treat them as your last words. Let's say them all. I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity again..."

Shangguan Yan thought for a while and said, "I really want to know if the imperial guard who pursued me is also under your calculations? Is he yours?"

Huangfu Zhai said, "Since you have questions, it means you are very close to the truth. I can tell you that the captain, public and private, must be resolved, otherwise the plan tonight will be difficult to implement..."

"What are you conspiring tonight?" Shangguan Yan asked again, "I can smell the strong smell of blood from the air..."

Huangfu Zhai said, "Didn't you guessed it? Why do you still ask such stupid questions that you knowingly ask?"

"Ha..." Shangguan Yan laughed dryly, "Maybe I can't really stay calm in front of you. So for the last question, are you really going to give up on me? Master..."

The word "Master" made Shangguan Yan, who had always been calm, tremble in his words, and there was reluctance, reluctance, and deep attachment in his tone...

"Sorry, the person I gave up will not give him a second chance. However, in the opinion of you calling me Master, I may consider giving you a last chance tonight, of course, the premise is that you give up and see Liu Ce..."

After leaving this passage, Huangfu Zhai resolutely stepped out of the house, leaving only a trace of sadness and fleeting Shangguan Yan and his subordinates standing in the house...
