Chapter 108 You are an exception [Thanks to the leader of "Pan Shao 520" for the reward! 】
“Finally someone came to save us.” The boatman said happily.
He has been out of the city by boat for several years. Although there have been some bloody incidents, nothing more outrageous than today.
If this woman wasn't on the boat, I'm afraid the demonic cultivator would have killed everyone.
Now he has lingering fears and just wants to finish this trip quickly and then go home and wash his hands in the golden basin.
Liang Yue and Cao Yi looked calm. There were not only soldiers guarding the city, but also people from the Yinma Prison. They were not worried that no one would respond after they went up.
Only the man and woman looked slightly flustered.
Liang Yue thought silently in his heart, if that woman is the Ruyi Priest of Wentian Tower, could it be that she really eloped with someone?
Everyone had different ideas, and the scene suddenly maintained a strange silence until the surrounding pressure disappeared, and with a bang, the cabin landed.
With the shield removed, they finally saw the light of day again.
Then a look of shock.
At this time, the cruise ship has been lifted above the city gate. The wide city wall is surrounded by long spears, short crossbows, and talisman formations. Layers of armored soldiers are surrounding it, facing each other with swords and guns.
The boatman was startled and felt something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, the people above know that it is their own boat, so they must find a secluded place when pulling the boat, and they must bring as few soldiers as possible, so as not to leak the news.
How...
Surrounded by so many defenders?
Among the crowd stood a burly general with a golden helmet. Judging from his attire, he should be one of today's city gate guards.
There must be four divine generals stationed at the four gates of Longyuan City every day, and a city wall must be divided into four sections, and each section must be strictly inspected by a gatekeeper general.
The god general mainly "sits" at the city gate, sitting there to guard the center. The sixteen prison generals have to patrol back and forth on the section of the city wall they are responsible for. They cannot slack off at all, and it is much harder.
There are more than forty prison generals in the Ministry of War, and it may take a month or two for each of them to take turns to guard the city wall above this waterway.
This is when they take the opportunity to make money.
At this moment, in front of everyone, the boatman did not call anyone, but stepped forward and said: "The villain's boat was accidentally involved in the sewer of the city wall. Thank you all for your rescue..."
He wanted to give a reason that could be told to the outside world and let the other party follow the trend, but before he could finish his words, the golden-armored general stepped forward and drew out his waist knife like lightning, and poof——
A knife , and stabbed the boatman through.
"Uh..." Blood immediately emerged from his mouth, and the boatman spoke with difficulty: "General..."
"I'm sorry, brother." The golden-armored general leaned into his ear, said softly, and then drew his sword and sheathed it.
The boatman who wanted to wash his hands in the golden basin fell to the ground and died.
He was a subordinate personally sent by the prison general. He thought he would feel at ease when he saw the other party, but unexpectedly, he died under the other party's knife, and he didn't know what happened in the end.
At this time, the soldiers behind the prison gate general made way for a path, and then several figures in fancy clothes and black knives on their waists came forward. They were the people in Yinma Prison.
“A thief tried to sneak out of the city through the waterway. The city guarding sergeant discovered it and successfully captured him.” The golden-armored general said to the black swords of the drinking horse supervisors, “The rest of the people are now handed over to the drinking horse guards. Horse supervisor handles it.”
"Thank you, General Qin." The black swordsmen said lightly, then walked straight to Cao Yi and saluted in unison: "Sir."
It seems that before they came out of the water, these people who drank from the horse prison People have already come here to negotiate with the defenders.
Cao Yi nodded and said: "Take the body and the people back."
The Ruyi priest and her lover saw that they could no longer leave quietly at this moment, and the young woman finally No longer hiding, he showed the jade Ruyi in his hand and said: "I am asking the priest of Tianlou, and I left the city on the order of the great priest."
The Qin general looked at her and said indifferently: "Priest Ruyi, ask Tianlou's arrest warrant has just been issued, and you have been removed from the title of priest. If you are encountered, you must be arrested immediately. "
Before he could finish his words, a group of armored men with spears gathered around them, pointing at the two of them with hundreds of sharp edges.
This is the city wall of the city of God, with a large number of soldiers and countless formations. Even a master-level expert has to think twice before trying to force his way in.
How about the two of them?
The two faced off against the surrounding defenders for a moment, but in the end they had no choice but to be captured.
Cao Yi immediately ordered: "General Qin, escort the people from Wentian Tower back to the ancestral temple, and then send a team of people to escort the demon cultivator back to the imperial city with me. Don't make any mistakes."
"Yes!"
Obviously the general of the prison gate is a fourth-grade official, but he honestly obeys the orders of Cao Yi, who drinks the black sword of the horse prison.
......
On the way back, Liang Yue asked in a low voice: "The prison general apparently took advantage of his position to let people out of the city privately, guarding and stealing. It's so bad, why don't you drink the horse prison?" Do you plan to deal with him? "
Cao Yi smiled slightly, "Your Majesty asked us to spy, and we Yinma Prison are the eyes and ears; when Your Majesty asked us to kill, we Yinma Prison are the minions. I will report all these things. The Yinma Prison will not deal with anyone unless ordered to do so.”
"That's it." Liang Yue said.
These words made him realize that the Yinma Prison was different from the Zhuxie Division and the Punishment Department.
The Ministry of Punishment is a public instrument that rewards good and punishes evil for the common people, and everything must be based on the country. But after all, the foundation is in the court, and there are still many constraints from the court, and sometimes it is impossible to completely distinguish between good and evil.
The Zhuxie Division can be considered a public weapon, but its foundation is in Xuanmen, so it can be more unscrupulous in doing things, based entirely on good and evil. This may also be the reason why Liang Fuguo went to Sanqing Mountain, which was essentially to borrow a sword from abroad.
The Keyin Horse Prison is a purely private weapon, the eyes, ears and minions of the emperor himself. The foundation comes from the need for royal power to maintain rule. It does not distinguish between good and evil, and only serves the emperor alone.
So many times what they do seems to be the same thing, but in fact the purpose is very different.
"And..." Cao Yi smiled deeply again, "I guess this person will be fine."
"Why?" Liang Yue asked.
"My foster father once said that if we find a person's faults and don't kill him, he will be obedient. If we find a person's faults and kill him, then no one will listen to us." Cao Yidao . He felt that he was very close to Liang Yue, so he said a few more words.
This prince's companion seems to be talented and decent, but he is cunning and cunning when it comes to things, and he is unscrupulous in fighting... which is very interesting to his taste.
Liang Yue nodded clearly, probably understanding what he meant.
For example, today's guard named Qin, if Yin Ma Jian reveals the matter and kills him, and another guard comes, then the new man will not buy Yin Ma Jian's fault.
But if Inspector Yinma does not expose the matter and just leaves evidence, then the guard will listen to Inspector Yinma in the future and do whatever he is asked to do.
He, a general, has to listen to the orders of a black knife because his life and death are in their hands.
To put it bluntly, this is still the logic of private weapons.
But it is this kind of logic that makes everyone in Yinma Prison fear him and act simply. If you are really dedicated to serving the public good, many things in the officialdom will not go smoothly.
This may be true even from the emperor's perspective.
If an official who makes a mistake keeps the clue in his hand but does not kill him, he will be grateful and serve you more loyally. Compared with those officials who hold themselves upright, they are more obedient and more useful. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Lu family, which has been corrupt for many years, can always be in charge of the Ministry of Industry.
It sounds like there is inherent truth in it, but from Liang Yue's point of view, he cannot think that it is right.
When he reached a fork in the road, he said: "Brother Cao, my home is in the south of the city, so I won't follow you back to the imperial city. Tomorrow I will go to the Yinma Prison to see the results of your interrogation."
"Okay." Cao Yi nodded and said: "Thanks to you for this trip, otherwise Guo Chongwen would run away for nothing, and we would all be unlucky. After I go back, I will definitely ask for credit for you."
Thanks With Liang Yue's information, he finally captured a demonic cultivator assassin and an unexpected Wentianlou priest, so he could be spared some punishment.
Yinma Prison is not only cruel to outsiders, but is also notoriously harsh to those within.
"We are all working together." Liang Yue smiled modestly.
Cao Yiding sat on his horse and watched Liang Yue ride away on the precious horse that was riding on dark clouds and snow. It took a long time before he turned around and caught up with the team again.
The two of them went their separate ways and walked away.
......
When Liang Yue returned to the entrance of Ping'an Lane, he met a weak woman walking from the opposite side. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Liang Xiaoyun.
He quickly got off his horse and asked: "Xiaoyun? Why did you come back so late?"
He got on the cruise ship in the evening, and after all that trouble, it was already curfew time. Normally, his sister would return home as soon as she came back from the academy. Seeing that she came back late, Liang Yue became a little concerned.
Liang Xiaoyun just smiled softly, "I have been busy with my studies recently, so I was delayed in the academy for a while."
Her skirt fluttered in the night wind, her smile was gentle, and her eyes were a little more Ethereal, the whole person is still full of fresh temperament.
Liang Yue looked at his sister and felt a little strange.
There was an inexplicably familiar aura about her, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Recently, I have been busy with chores and have only spent a short time with my brothers and sisters. I really don’t know much about their recent experiences, so I will have to have a good chat some other time.
He went home with Liang Xiaoyun and was about to ask more questions. When he passed by the wall of Dachun's house, he saw a pair of eyes peeking out from the wall, "Ayue! Are you back?"
" Big spring!" Liang Yue also responded with a smile.
Pang Chun stood there, a little higher than the wall, and he could cross the wall with his eyes level.
Just seeing Liang Yue coming back, he immediately came out and said with a smile: "I've been wanting to find you! I haven't seen you in the past two days."
"Hehe." Liang Yue also smiled and said: "I already know your good news, the natural seed of a god general!"
"You already know this." Dachun scratched his head and said: "Thanks You take me to Zhuxie Yamen so that I can detect the Immortal Physique. I am so grateful to you."
"How can we thank you?" Liang Yue waved his hand, "And you have to have the Immortal Physique first before I can detect it. "It's not me who gave it to you."
"My mother just asked me to thank you." Pang Chun said: "The people in Zhuxie Yamen are very good, and Mr. Xie said he would help me if he had time." I want to introduce you to a divine general! I don’t know if I can succeed by then.”
“God general?” Liang Yue’s eyes lit up, “That’s great. If you can succeed, you can. The future is bright.”
"Just because there is a chance, it may not be possible." Pang Chun lowered his head shyly, "I am so stupid, which god will accept me?"
"That's not necessarily true." Liang Yue said: "Say. Maybe God General likes people who are simple-minded, by the way... If you have nothing to do these days, just come to my house and do nothing. It's okay to stay a little longer."
"I don't dare. Go." Pang Chun muttered: "Aunt Li has been a little strange lately. Every time I go to see you, she doesn't let me in and just drives me away."
Li Caiyun's behavior is that of the Liang family. It was agreed upon that no outsiders would be allowed in in the future, lest clues about the Enlightenment Tree be revealed.
But what Liang Yue thought was that if he went shopping more in spring, he might be able to absorb some more insights.
As for whether Pang Chun will see the clues of the Enlightenment Tree...
There is no need to worry.
Even if there is no disguise and a tree of enlightenment is standing there, Dachun will only say one thing when he sees it... Ah Yue is really worthy of you. The trees planted at home are greener than others.
He has enough confidence in the wisdom of his good friends.
So Liang Yue patted Dachun on the shoulder, "No one else is allowed to enter my house, but you are an exception."
When Pang Chun heard this, he suddenly felt moved and said solemnly: "Ayue, I will be with you forever!"
Thanks to the leader of "Pan Shao 520" for the reward, becoming the 16th leader in this book !
