Chapter 448 The Messenger [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
The lawless Bashan bandits kidnapped the prince in Yunlu City and hid him in Nanzhou. The clever prince fought with the bandits and finally sent a letter, which attracted the brave imperial guards to rescue him and finally successfully rescued the prince...
This time the incident ended successfully with this version.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the imperial guards all gained a good reputation, Liang Yue also received benefits, Bashan cleaned up his own faction, and everyone got what they wanted.
Perhaps only Chunyu Fu would be dissatisfied, because his attempt to stir up conflict between the court and Bashan must have failed.
There is also an old couple, the Pen Fairy and the Butterfly Fairy.
Liang Yue felt that people like him probably wouldn't have any feelings for Bashan, and just wanted to do things that could harm Yin State. When Bashan was fighting against the imperial court, he joined Bashan because it suited his ideas.
But now the situation between Bashan and the imperial court has eased, and there are even peace advocates emerging, which obviously makes him unable to accept it.
He will probably still do something in the future. As for how it will develop, it depends on the attitude of Bashan internally towards him.
After rescuing Liang Yue, the imperial guards sent him back to the city, and then immediately rushed out of the city without stopping.
Liang Yue met the prince, Hu Delu and Chen Ju, the three brothers.
"Liang Bandu!" The prince was very excited and stepped forward to hold Liang Yue, "I'm so glad you're okay."
"Thanks to your highness's great fortune." Liang Yue said with a smile: "Not only is everything fine, but we have also eliminated an important hideout of Bashan in Nanzhou."
"As expected of you." The prince shook his head and sighed, "No matter when, you always have an amazing performance."
Chen Ju on the side also looked at Liang Yue and gave him a look that said "We two are really awesome".
Because the prince kept the siege on Lu Renxian a secret, only Chen Ju knew about it. From the prince's perspective, he only knew that Liang Yue informed the imperial guards to rescue him, and he didn't know that the court had the opportunity to get rid of the third in command of Bashan.
Chen Ju also understood that it would be better to keep this matter secret in the court.
This kind of thing can only be believed if Chen Ju is here.
Liang Yue asked again, "I see the imperial guards are heading back out of the city, but is there anything else going on?"
The prince explained, "After Yuan Fukang was arrested, he withstood the interrogation of the Horse Drinking Prison for two days. It was not until today that he could no longer resist and revealed the gathering place of the core members of the Righteous Fire Sect in Nanzhou. I sent the imperial guards to investigate. If the scale is not large, they can directly wipe out the group. If the number of people is large, they can contact the Nanzhou military town to send troops."
"Can it last for two days?" Liang Yue was surprised.
Yuan Fukang was a real man for being able to hold out for so long under the hands of the people in the Horse Drinking Station. It might also be because of his high level of cultivation and strong state of mind.
But it has been delayed for so long, I don't think there will be anyone there. The Yihuo Cult is not stupid. They will not wait for you if the important figures are captured and stay in the place where the information may be leaked.
"By the way." Liang Yue asked again, "How is the Yungongshan case going? Now that Yuan Fukang has been arrested, we should be able to start punishing the criminals on the list openly, right?"
"This..." The prince hesitated and seemed a little ashamed.
Chen Ju said directly: "Your Majesty has ordered that Your Highness the Crown Prince, as the imperial envoy, only needs to focus on investigating the Zhao Faxian case. The Yungongshan case will be handled by an envoy sent by the Divine Capital."
Liang Yue frowned, "Messenger?"
……
Knock, knock, knock. A moment later, Liang Yue walked into the Qingdu government office, walked straight to a room inside, and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, revealing a slightly familiar dark face.
"Lord Geng." Liang Yue bowed.
The special envoy sent by the court this time was the Minister of Punishments Geng Shougong, a close relative of Liang Fuguo.
"Liang Xianguan." Geng Shougong looked at Liang Yue with a delighted expression, "You're back."
He was also one of the few people who knew that the person who was arrested was the fake prince. The purpose of sending him here was, on the one hand, that the Yungongshan case should have been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, and on the other hand, it was probably because of consideration that it was not appropriate for the prince to appear in public after pretending to be arrested.
Of course, there may also be a part of the consideration that he belongs to Liang Fuguo's party, and his relationship with Liang Yue may be easier after he comes.
Because the purpose of his visit this time was in conflict with Liang Yue's idea.
"Thanks to everyone, nothing happened." Liang Yue simply brushed it off and asked directly, "I heard that Lord Geng took over the case of Yungong Mountain from the Crown Prince. It has been two or three days now. Have all the criminals been arrested according to the list?"
"Well," Geng Shougong smiled and said, "According to the list, we have arrested more than ten main criminals. They will all be sentenced severely and will be beheaded in Caishikou soon."
"More than ten people?" Liang Yue said solemnly, "More than that."
Geng Shougong's smile was a little stiff. "I had some guesses when I was in the court, and I knew you might not want to accept this. But this matter should not be exaggerated. It would be best if we can make a big deal out of it."
"Master Geng." Liang Yue stared at him, "If someone else said this, I would ignore it. But when you said this, I am a little confused. You have always followed the left prime minister, but have you ever seen him turn a big thing into a small one?"
"Alas." Geng Shougong sighed, "But even the Left Prime Minister is now imprisoned. If we continue to do things to the extreme, the Left Prime Minister may not be able to get out. Liang Xianguan, you have to consider the overall situation."
"What is the overall situation?" Liang Yue asked.
Geng Shougong was silent for a moment, then said, "The overall situation is that if the list is not opened, everything will be calm, and the Qingdu family will pay a huge price for this. From then on, Shendu will no longer worry about the stability of the south. If the list is opened, the deeply rooted Qingdu family will inevitably be shaken, and there will be a vacuum here. At that time, the situation will be chaotic and the south will be shaken. No one knows how it will develop, which is a risk for Yin State."
"Before coming here, I asked Lord Zuo Xiang, and he also told you not to worry about this matter for now." He continued, "Focus on tracking down Zhao Faxian. When he is released from prison, he will naturally take care of everything."
"Liang Fuguo won't let me manage it?" Liang Yue smiled slightly, "I don't believe it."
Geng Shougong paused when he heard this, his eyes slightly shaken.
Liang Yue stood up and pushed open the door with a creaky sound. The yamen runners and passers-by outside the courtyard were startled and looked inside with some surprise.
"Sir Geng, I will never stand idly by in the Yungongshan case. Compared to the so-called overall situation, I think the more important thing is the justice of heaven and the people of Yin State." Liang Yue said with a sonorous voice, "Those aristocratic families have already taken advantage of the law. Now they want to go beyond the law, bully the people, and be superior to others."
"If we make this public and see how the millions of people in Yin Country will choose, this is the real big picture. A few noble families, some court officials, and self-righteous people are not worthy of being called the big picture."
Liang Yue turned around and looked directly into Geng Shougong's eyes. "I don't believe what you said, but I also don't believe you would betray Lord Zuo Xiang. You must have your concerns. You can call in sick tomorrow and be fine. I will kill those you dare not kill."
"Anyway... I only have a little over a month to live."
"I lost my life for Yin Country. In the remaining days, I will do something for Yin Country."
Geng Shougong was speechless for a moment after listening to his powerful words. After a long while, he said, "As expected... As expected..."
