() Liu Xia discussed with Caiwei and Dabao and hurriedly left the palace.
When we arrived at the Lu mass grave outside the city, we found a few corpses and then returned to the palace to have Caiwei groomed.
Afterwards, Liu Xia carried the body and went straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The imperial city is always patrolled by the Tianyu Guards. The emperor's imperial army has a total of eighteen guards. The Royal Guards are responsible for the security of the palace most of the time, while the Tianyu Guards are responsible for the security of the imperial city.
Avoiding the patrol team, Liu Xia arrived outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate lightly.
At this moment, it was quiet here, and the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was also closed tightly at this moment. However, there were spies from the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the surrounding towers on duty at night.
Just as Liu Xia was about to go in, Ao Cangqiong suddenly said: "Wait a minute, there are seals arranged by masters in this courtyard. If you break in, you must alert the people inside."
"Senior, is there anything you can do?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Let me do it. If you have time, it's time for you to improve your skills as a Yin Yang Master."
Ao Cangqiong said this and began to take over Liu Xia's body.
In an instant, when a powerful consciousness occupied Liu Xia's body, Ao Cangqiong could not help but admire: "The body transformed by the spiritual source is really powerful. Compared with your previous frail body, it is many times stronger.
It's a pity that you can't bring the effectiveness of this body to its limit. You need to practice harder, otherwise you will really be overtaxing your natural resources."
"I've been so diligent."
Liu Xia smiled awkwardly.
"Diligence alone is not enough. Ever since you came to Longdu, you have been troubled by things. I think the emperor asked you to retreat and reflect on your mistakes this time because he wanted you to retreat on your own and improve your cultivation."
Ao Cangqiong said.
"Then what does he mean?"
"You figure it out for yourself."
After Ao Cangqiong finished speaking, he stepped on the flying sword and rushed into the Inspectorate in an instant.
Inside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are seals one after another. If an unsuspecting person broke in, the alarm would have been triggered.
There are also many experts in the Procuratorate.
Listening to what I heard today, I already have a master from the Ling Sect.
It is estimated that there are even more perverted things in the Procuratorate.
However, I am afraid that Tuoba Lingyun may not be able to mobilize these truly peerless masters.
After all, the Metropolitan Procuratorate still directly served the emperor.
With almost no effort, Liu Xia touched the dungeon door.
So he took out the prepared calming powder and released it into the air.
The two prison guards guarding the door immediately stood there upright, as if they were petrified.
Ao Cangqiong immediately arrived outside the dungeon gate. At this time, Liu Xia and Ao Cangqiong were stunned.
The door of this dungeon was made of hundreds of refined steel. Neither of the two guards found the key.
"It doesn't seem like it's going to work if it doesn't alert them."
Having said this, Ao Cangqiong groaned and punched towards the dungeon.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the dungeon door collapsed instantly, and Ao Cangqiong rushed inside in a single step.
At this moment, a bell rang loudly in the huge inspectorate, which immediately alerted the spies in the compound, and a group of people rushed towards the dungeon door.
Ao Cangqiong is incredibly fast. Although there are guards in the dungeon, their cultivation levels are mediocre and they are no match for Ao Cangqiong.
After a moment, he impulsively went to the third floor of the dungeon, found the room where you, Bai Rongxuan, were being held, and kicked open the door. Liu Xia couldn't help but froze.
At this moment, Bai Rongxuan was hanging in mid-air, with wounds all over his body, and he was still dying.
Ao Cangqiong rushed over immediately, pulled Bai Rongxuan down from the height, took out a healing potion and fed it to him.
Without saying a word, he hung up the fake body and then made scars on the fake corpse at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the guards from the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already swarmed over.
After Ao Cangqiong took care of the body, he directly put Bai Rongxuan into a bag, put it on his shoulders, and rushed out of the gate.
Now, the entire dungeon was filled with spies from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When they saw Ao Cangqiong, they drew their weapons and rushed forward one after another.
Ao Cangqiong snorted coldly, and immediately rushed forward with a lunge and struck out with a punch. The cold wind of the punch was so powerful that it knocked dozens of people away in an instant.
Almost effortlessly, he rushed to the first floor, dug into the wall and kicked up. Suddenly the wall collapsed, and Ao Cangqiong rushed directly into the courtyard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate from the side.
At this moment, the senior officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who received the report were already feeling it.
When the three thousand households saw Ao Cangqiong, they all roared and flew towards Ao Cangqiong.
"court death!"
Ao Cangqiong frowned and took a deep breath. Then he waved his arms and shouted angrily: "Dragon Divine Fist!"
In an instant, a powerful aura suddenly filled the surroundings, and heavy snow fell in the sky, dancing wildly all over the sky.
"call!"
With one punch, the cold wind instantly condensed into dozens of giant dragons, blasting towards the entire inspector in all directions.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
There was a dense explosion, and the huge metropolitan procuratorate was instantly reduced to ruins.
The three thousand households immediately vomited blood and were thrown away.
There were several loud booms, and the powder fell in the distance.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
"Saint!!"
Immediately, the spies retreated one after another.
If he was a master, they might be able to trap him with their large number of people.
However, when a saint's cultivation appears, no matter how many people there are, they are just cannon fodder.
The masters and masters were all vulnerable to him, let alone them?
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Ao Cangqiong instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Easily throwing away his pursuers, Liu Xia returned to the palace.
"What a pleasure!"
Ao Cangqiong said excitedly.
"You always play nice, but now that you have made such a big fuss, the emperor must have gone crazy."
Liu Xia smiled bitterly.
"It doesn't matter, the emperor will only think that Tuoba Lingyun sent people to kill Bai Rongxuan, a saint master, which is enough to make the emperor suspicious of Tuoba Lingyun. Okay, I'm tired, you heal him."
After saying that, Ao Cangqiong's consciousness was withdrawn from Liu Xia's body.
Liu Xia quickly put Bai Rongxuan on the bed. At this moment, Dabao, who heard Liu Xia's return, also entered the room.
When Bai Rongxuan took it out of the bag, Dabao could not help but frown and said, "Amitabha. Sin, sin."
Liu Xia looked at Bai Rongxuan and couldn't help but feel angry.
Bai Rongxuan was lying on the bed with numerous scars on his body, especially on his abdomen. Bones could be seen from every wound.
An iron hook penetrated the Pipa bone, and clavicle nails were driven into the joints of his limbs, making Bai Rongxuan's body stiff and unable to move.
As for the internal injuries, it made people even more angry. The person who tortured him was a spiritual master. He forced spiritual power into Bai Rongxuan's body several times, causing his internal organs to severely fail.
Being forcibly injected with spiritual power is extremely painful, especially for a martial artist. His meridians are far less powerful than those of spiritual practitioners. Every time someone forcefully injects spiritual power, the spiritual power in his meridians will be reversed.
That feeling really cannot be described in words.
At this moment, Bai Rongxuan was in a daze and was no longer conscious.
Liu Xia quickly took out Cang Sheng and treated his wounds.
When Bai Rongxuan got better, he and Dabao carefully took out the clavicle nail, then bandaged his wound and applied healing medicine. They worked until early in the morning, and then Bai Rongxuan fell into a drowsy sleep.
Liu Xia came out of the room with a livid face. Even though he was Dabao, his fists were clenched.
"These beasts, what should we do next?"
Dabao asked angrily.
"Such a big commotion last night will definitely shock the government and the public. At this time, Tuoba Lingyun can only hand over the fake corpse to the Ministry of Punishment. Then he will say that I killed someone and silenced him. The Ministry of Punishment will definitely summon me and then deal with him.
.”
Liu Xia said calmly.
It was not until noon that Bai Rongxuan woke up once and knew that Liu Xia had rescued him, so he fell asleep again.
In the afternoon, as expected, the Ministry of Punishment came to the palace with an imperial edict and asked Liu Xia to go to Dali Temple to help investigate the case.
Liu Xia took Dabao and Ma Xiao, and the three of them took a carriage and headed towards Dali Temple.
Dali Temple is the place where serious cases across the country are tried. Generally, if there are major cases that shock the government and the public, the emperor will order Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly try the case.
This time the Bai family's rebellion case involves a lot of stakes, so it will naturally be tried publicly in Dali Temple to set the record straight.
When he arrived at the lobby of Dali Temple, Liu Xia saw that the Minister of Dali Temple sitting there was an official in his fifties, with a Chinese character face and a few strands of beard on his lower jaw, and he was quite serious.
When they arrived, Liu Xia and Yuan Binglong asked, "The name of this Dali Temple minister is Zhou Hongchang."
He is the representative of the Zhou family. The Zhou family is an influential second-rate sect in the southeast of Longhu Continent.
The Minister of Punishment was originally a member of the Liang family in the northwest. After the fall of the Liang family, Zhao Changgong, who was born in the military examination, took the position.
Zhao Changgong was said to be an upright man. He had previously served as an inspector of punishments. After the fall of the Liang family, he was transferred back to Longdu by the emperor and served as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment is the second-rank official, and the Taiji Dynasty does not have a prime minister. Therefore, the six ministers are directly responsible to the emperor. Today, he came in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to this case.
At this moment, in addition to these two adults, Tuoba Lingyun was also present in the lobby.
When he saw Liu Xia, a look of murderous intent appeared on his face.
However, Liu Xia didn't take it seriously and laughed it off.
At this moment, I couldn't tell whether it was Zhou Hongchang or Zhao Changgong. Both of them looked relaxed.
One is the current prince, the other is a second-grade Duke, and is also the commander-in-chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
It involves not only the Bai family's plot to rebel, but also the case that caused a big fuss in the Metropolitan Procuratorate last night.
"Your Majesty, Duke of the State, today I and Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Punishment, are supervising the case of Bai family's rebellion according to the imperial decree. Today, the Protector of the Country has announced that you will assassinate Bai Rongxuan and kill him to silence him. Do you have anything to say?"
Immediately, Zhou Hongchang cupped his fists and said.
"I was in the palace last night, and there were imperial guards guarding the outside. How could I appear in the Inspectorate? Bai Rongxuan was assassinated, and I suspect it was the Inspectorate. I'm afraid it was to cover up the ulterior motives.
secret."
Liu Xia smiled disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, do you have any evidence for what you say?"
At this time, Zhao Changgong, the Minister of Justice sitting on one side, asked anxiously.
