"Duke Parkelili, what right do you have to say that I have no evidence? How do you know that I am leading the troops privately?" Nangong Aotian looked at Parkelili and asked.
"Hmph! I've already asked the relevant departments, but no one knows about your troop deployment." Pucklelli snorted coldly and said, "What else do you have to say?"
"Do you know whose soldiers I am leading? Whose permission did I get? Have you ever asked His Highness the First Prince?" Nangong Aotian looked at Pakelili and said, "The First Prince has already found out who gathered in the Xincheng Martial Arts Hall.
They are the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they collude with the Silver Eagle Empire and are detrimental to our country."
"Even if they are members of the Tianmo Sect, why do you say that they are colluding with the Silver Eagle Empire and that they are harmful to our country?" Another minister stood up and said. This person is also a member of the Second Prince's party.
"Haha, everyone must know what happened to me in the mercenary family. The Heavenly Demon Sect sneaked up on me. I am the Duke of the empire and the commander of a legion." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Could they sneak up on me like this?
The duke of the empire or the army commander of the empire, do you think they have done nothing wrong? Would you rather watch me be killed by them than say that the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect have intentions that are detrimental to me and the empire? "
"Even if they are bad for you, they are not necessarily bad for the empire." Park Reli said harshly, "You are just avenging a public vendetta."
"What? People from the Heavenly Demon Sect attacked me secretly. Shouldn't I do this to them?" Nangong Aotian looked at Parkli Ali and said with a smile, "People from the Heavenly Demon Sect attacked the Duke of the Empire and the commander of the Empire's first army. Shouldn't the Empire do this?"
Shouldn't we send people to eliminate them? Besides, I still have evidence of their collusion with the Silver Eagle Empire. Everyone knows that they conspired to get the mercenary family."
"But then you should report this matter to His Majesty before making a decision." Another minister of the DPRK stood up.
"You mean that I have to make a fuss all over the city first, and then arrest people with great fanfare?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Your Majesty, Duke Nangong privately mobilized troops to encircle and destroy many private houses in the imperial capital, which has seriously disturbed the security of our empire. I hope that your Majesty will punish you with a serious crime." Pakelili said, arching his hands towards Liu Bang.
"Your Majesty, Duke Nangong should be punished with a serious crime." Many more ministers from the DPRK and the Central Government stood up.
"Duke Nangong, why didn't you inform me in advance when you sent people to attack the Xincheng martial arts gym?" Liu Bang looked at Nangong Aotian and asked sternly, "Why did you attack many places in the empire one after another at night?"
"Your Majesty, the reason for attacking the Xincheng Martial Arts Hall is because I have obtained permission from His Majesty the First Prince. His Majesty the First Prince has already found out that the Martial Arts Hall is a den for the Tianmo Sect's thieves. I am here to eradicate the unrest in the capital as soon as possible.
Then he quickly rushed there to eradicate the den and contribute to the tranquility of the imperial capital." Nangong Aotian said.
"Is Liu Jianguo here?" Liu Bang shouted.
"My son is here," Liu Jianguo said quickly.
"Is Duke Nangong telling the truth?" Liu Bang looked at Liu Jianguo and asked, "Is it true that there are people from the Tianmo Sect in Xincheng Martial Arts Hall?"
"Yes, I have been paying attention to the Imperial Capital since I learned that Duke Nangong's assassination was related to the Tianmo Sect. Later, I finally found out that the Xincheng Martial Arts School is closely related to the Tianmo Sect. After a period of investigation, I finally found out that the Xincheng Martial Arts School is
A den of the Tianmo Sect." Liu Jianguo stood up quickly and said. Of course he couldn't say that he didn't know anything at this time.
"Is there any evidence?" Liu Bang looked at Liu Jianguo and asked.
"Yes." Liu Jianguo said as he had already walked up, then took out a memorial and handed it over.
After reading the memorial, Liu Bang nodded and said, "Since the evidence is conclusive, Duke Nangong can be exempted from punishment for the Xincheng Martial Arts Hall matter."
"But Your Majesty, last night Duke Nangong took this opportunity to mobilize troops to clear out many houses in the empire by force. It was obvious that he was taking this opportunity to eliminate people he disliked. This matter must be investigated, otherwise I'm afraid
The ministers of the DPRK and China are unconvinced, and the people of the empire will also question the lax laws of our empire." Another minister stood up.
"Yes, although Duke Nangong has evidence for the Xincheng Martial Arts Hall, there is no evidence for these places." Pakelili stood up and said at this time.
"Duke Nangong, do you have anything else to say?" Liu Bang looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Your Majesty, while I destroyed the Xincheng Martial Arts Hall yesterday, I already captured many people from the Tianmo Sect. Through my interrogation, I confirmed several enemy dens, so I led people to destroy those dens overnight. For this reason
It is to prevent them from escaping. You must know that since I have taken action against the Xincheng Martial Arts School, of course they will think that I may find out their hiding place. If I delay the time, they will all escape." Nangong Aotian said confidently, "
I am doing this entirely for the sake of the stability of the empire."
"But what evidence do you have to prove that those places are the strongholds of the Tianmo Sect?" Another minister stood up and said.
"Of the several dens I destroyed yesterday, all the people in the later ones fled. If they didn't have any evil intentions, why did they escape early?" Nangong Aotian said, "How do they know where I will go?"
"Although what you said makes some sense, it's not enough to prove that what you destroyed was the stronghold of the Heavenly Demon Sect, right?" Pakelili looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Then how can you prove that the places I destroyed are not the dens of the Tianmo Sect?" Nangong Aotian looked at Pakelili with a slight smile on his face. "At least there is some truth in what I did. What is your reasoning?
?Why do you say that there is no suspicion in these places? Isn’t there some connection between you and them?”
"You don't want to slander anyone, this is business." Parker Reli retorted loudly.
"Your Majesty, what I did yesterday was indeed a bit reckless. But fortunately, I have asked my men to collect evidence from the several dens I destroyed yesterday." Nangong Aotian saluted Liu Bang at this time and said, "I
Thought I would have some evidence that would satisfy Duke Parkelery."
"In this case, Duke Parker, what else do you have to say?" Liu Bang looked at Parker and asked.
"I also hope that Duke Nangong will give him a deadline to come up with evidence." Pakelili looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Okay, I will produce the evidence within three days." Nangong Aotian looked at Liu Bang and said, "At the same time, since I have investigated this matter to this extent, I hope that your majesty will leave it to me to investigate whether the Imperial Capital is hiding the remnants of the Demon Sect.
Investigation, this will also make it easier for me to collect evidence."
"Okay, let's leave this matter to Duke Nangong for investigation." Liu Bang thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be left to Duke Nangong for investigation." Park Leli stood up and said loudly.
"Why?" Liu Bang looked at Park Leli and asked in confusion.
"There is no guarantee that Duke Nangong will not take advantage of this opportunity to be like last night again." Park Leli said quickly.
"Your Majesty, once you know the enemy's stronghold, you must destroy it with thunderous means. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." Nangong Aotian looked at Liu Bang and said, "At most, I will collect evidence before taking action, and then report it to Your Majesty before taking action."
alright."
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Demon Sect's members are very powerful. If we don't completely eliminate them, it will definitely bring an unimaginable crisis to the imperial capital. I agree with Duke Nangong's suggestion." At this time, Liu Dingguo stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I agree." Four or five more ministers stood up.
"Your Majesty, there have been constant murders in the empire some time ago, so much so that Prime Minister Ouyang Cong was murdered, and the murderer has not been found yet. In addition, there have been constant murders in God's capital some time ago, and the commanders of the Eastern Army and Huangfu Army were also attacked.
, Wei Chen is also constantly being attacked. There must be a huge conspiracy behind these things, and these things must be investigated as soon as possible." Nangong Aotian saluted Liu Bang again and said, "Wei Chen thinks this matter may have something to do with the Heavenly Demon Sect.
It's related, because at least Wei Chen knows that the person who attacked me happened to be from the Tianmo Sect."
"My son also suggested that this matter be handed over to Duke Nangong for investigation. After all, others have been investigating for so long and there are no clues." Liu Dingguo stood up again and said.
"My son also agrees with this suggestion." Liu Jianguo finally stood up again. Of course he knew that this was the best time to attack Liu Baoguo.
"Since Duke Nangong has some insights into this matter and needs to collect evidence, then let Duke Nangong handle this matter." Liu Bang thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done." Pakelili stood up and said, "Duke Nangong is acting too recklessly. Leaving this matter to him will inevitably hurt innocent people."
"Your Majesty, I will definitely get corresponding evidence for my future actions." Nangong Aotian immediately said at this time, "And there are already people around me who have betrayed the Heavenly Demon Sect. With this clue, I can easily investigate the conspiracy of the Heavenly Demon Sect's members."
"Oh, the person who betrayed the Tianmo Sect? Who is it?" Liu Bang looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"This person's name is Leng Mei'er, and she has now left the Heavenly Demon Sect. I got a lot of information about the Heavenly Demon Sect from her." Nangong Aotian said, "It's just because of the special situation and for her safety, I can't let her."
She came out to testify."
"In this case, the investigation of the recent murders in the imperial capital will be left to you." Liu Bang nodded and said, "This matter has been decided, and there is no need to raise any objections."
