Looking at Lu Zhixing's back as he hurriedly left, Ning Cheng'an only then felt that he had a bit of humanity. After all, in front of the Kyoto Overlord, there were very few people who could make him look like this.
An official from the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where Lu Zhixing left. He stopped Ning Chengan and asked, "What did the person who came just say to King Jing?"
Ning Chengan raised his eyes and glanced at the man, "I don't know."
After saying that, he left, not caring at all that the official was of a higher rank than him.
The official was furious, but he also knew Ning Cheng'an, so he didn't care. After standing there and thinking for a while, he walked towards Lin Zong's office.
Prince Jing's Mansion.
The guards knelt in the courtyard. Lu Zhixing was furious. "If you can't even keep an eye on one person, what else can you do?"
Liu Bai and Song Chun knelt in the front with their heads lowered, especially Song Chun, whose expression was the ugliest. They had never expected that Lu Yanzhou would dare to send people to attack directly in front of the palace gate.
Even Song Yushu was unable to react, and by the time he did, it was too late. Song Chun had tried his best, but still failed to snatch Song Yushu away.
"Is Twelve with her?" Lu Zhixing took a deep breath. It was no use scolding them now. He had to find Song Yushu as soon as possible.
"The master left after the master." Song Chun said with a pale face, "but the master is in their hands, so the master didn't dare to force his way in."
Since Twelve is nearby, Song Yushu will be fine for now. Lu Zhixing said to Liu Bai, "Go to the Lin Mansion to find my grandfather and tell him that the prince has captured Nie Yiyue to threaten me."
Liu Bai immediately took the order and left, "Yes, Your Highness."
"You, lock Nie Yiyue up in the inner prison, and absolutely no one must know about this." Lu Zhixing said to Song Chun, "If you make another mistake, I will skin you alive!"
"Yes, Your Highness, I guarantee it with my life!" Song Chun kowtowed suddenly, stood up and left with his men.
Your ten lives are not worth Ah Shu's! Lu Zhixing's eyes were bloodshot. He suppressed his urge to kill. He took a deep breath and left with the rest of the people.
Prince's Mansion.
When Lu Yanzhou heard the news and arrived, Lu Zhixing had already smashed his hall to pieces, and Xia Xingde had been hung up, dying.
"Ninth brother, what are you doing?!" Lu Yanzhou was terrified and immediately ordered people to go forward and rescue Xia Xingde.
The rescued Xia Xingde gasped for breath and crawled towards Lu Yanzhou like a dead dog, shouting hoarsely, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Prince Jing is crazy! He's crazy! He's defying you!"
"I didn't kill him. I'm already giving you face, fourth brother." Lu Zhixing sat firmly in the chair, not moved at all.
If Ah Shu had not been in their hands, even if this man was cut into pieces, it would not have been enough to relieve Lu Zhixing's hatred.
Lu Yanzhou knew in his heart that Xia Xingde must have succeeded, and Lu Zhixing was now angry and humiliated. He just didn't expect that Lu Zhixing would be so bold as to come to his door.
"Ninth brother, if you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why do you have to act like this? If the emperor knew about this, he would be dissatisfied with you again." Lu Yanzhou was still gentle, as if he really was the older brother who was worried about his younger brother.
Lu Zhixing snorted lightly, "Fourth brother, let's not beat around the bush. You arrested my people and they're right at my doorstep. Do you think I will be punished, or will you?"
When these words came out, Lu Yanzhou was shocked and looked at Xia Xingde fiercely.
Xia Xingde felt Lu Yanzhou's gaze and lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.
How could this bastard be so audacious? Lu Yanzhou glanced at Lu Zhixing's face and knew that today's disaster would be difficult to overcome.
"Why do you say that, Ninth Brother? How could I arrest your people? You can't say that casually!" Lu Yanzhou could only keep silent.
The matter of Marquis Wuyang's illegitimate son was already troublesome enough, but I didn't expect Xia Xingde to be so stupid.
Lu Zhixing sneered and threw something at Lu Yanzhou's feet. "Do you think I would come to your door without any reason? I say again, release the person you have immediately, otherwise I have more solid evidence in my hands, and it will be presented to my father immediately."
Lu Yanzhou looked down at the patrol camp token at his feet and his eyes went dark. He didn't expect Xia Xingde to be so stupid as to directly call on people from the patrol camp!
"It's just a token from the patrol camp, ninth brother." Lu Yanzhou clenched his clasped hands tightly, his mouth still tight, "Who knows if you got it casually?"
"Are you stupid, or am I?" Lu Zhixing no longer wanted to be polite. Besides, he had never looked down on his brother. "Should I ask my father to count the number of people in the patrol camp?"
Lu Yanzhou couldn't help but took two steps back. He stared at Lu Zhixing with resentment and unwillingness in his eyes. He had thought that after Lu Zhixing became blind, he would be able to catch up with him after so many years of hard work.
But he didn't expect that Lu Zhixing would be able to catch him in such a small matter.
Just when Lu Zhixing couldn't help but stand up and was about to leave, the imperial decree from the palace arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
"Announce, Crown Prince and Prince Jing, enter the palace immediately." The eunuch finished delivering the order and bowed to Lu Yanzhou and Lu Zhixing. "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Your Highness, Prince Jing, please come with me into the palace."
Lu Yanzhou watched Lu Zhixing walk to the door. He exuded an aura of killing gods when he met them, and before leaving, he stabbed Lu Yanzhou's heart with a knife.
"Fourth brother, it seems that the emperor is smarter than you."
After entering the palace, before Lu Yanzhou could finish his greetings, the emperor threw all the documents on the desk at him.
"You bastard, do you know what you are doing?"
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Everyone in the hall knelt down. Lu Yanzhou stiffened his neck, still looking clueless. "Father, I don't know what you are talking about."
"It's true that you and Zhixing had a dispute over the Wuyang Marquis case, but why are you still acting like a child? Release him immediately." The emperor glanced at Lu Zhixing with a sullen face and Lin Zong who was watching the show, and could only try to minimize the situation.
"Your son, I..." Lu Yanzhou gritted his teeth and wanted to go to his feet, but was interrupted by a cup thrown by the emperor.
The white jade shattered beside Lu Yanzhou, and the flying fragments cut his hand.
"Shut up! Are you so arrogant now that you are participating in government affairs? Do I need to repeat what I said to you?" The emperor's face was full of anger and his eyes were full of warnings.
Lu Yanzhou finally kowtowed dejectedly, "Your Highness understands."
"Your Majesty, a kidnapping occurred in broad daylight at the gate of the palace. This is truly outrageous. I believe that a thorough investigation is best conducted, otherwise it will cause unrest in the court and the country." Lin Zong suddenly stepped forward.
