Chapter 99 Then you should apologize [ask for monthly ticket! ]

"Eh?" Liang Yue sat down and asked in confusion, "Who made you angry?"

"A lot of people!" Ling Yuanbao said sullenly, and glared at Liang Yue again, "Including you!"

"Me?" Liang Yue was slightly puzzled. "What's wrong with me?"

"What did you tell me before?" Ling Yuanbao said angrily, "You told me to be the commander, to be in charge of the center. You were the pawn, to collect intelligence, and to tell me when you had information so we could act together. But the Yueyang Company case was clearly investigated by you and me, but you didn't tell me what you found, and you went off to be a hero by yourself."

She stared at Liang Yue with her big eyes and asked, "Are you lying to me?"

"Of course not!" Liang Yue's first reaction was to deny it immediately.

Then he said with a serious face: "Captain Ling, have you ever heard of the saying, 'When a general is on the battlefield, he may not obey the orders of the emperor.'"

Ling Yuanbao looked suspicious, "What?"

"Isn't it because intelligence can't be transmitted so quickly? If I have to report everything to you before taking action, it will inevitably delay military opportunities." He said slowly, "I figured out the cause and effect on my way to Qingfoyuan, and I rushed to stop everything from happening. If I inform you now, wouldn't it be too late?"

"Captain Ling." Liang Yue paused and asked, "You are not the kind of person who is so obsessed with making achievements that he doesn't care about the lives of others, right?"

"Of course not." Ling Yuanbao immediately defended, "I just think that we are partners, and you should ask me to act with you if you have something to do..."

"Then I'm relieved." Liang Yue nodded and said, "Of course we are a golden pair, but in case of emergency, we naturally put the overall situation first. I knew that Captain Ling would not be the kind of person who doesn't understand things."

"That's for sure. I certainly understand the overall situation!" Ling Yuanbao tilted his neck.

Liang Yue asked again: "Do you think I am the kind of villain who is greedy for credit and has no sense of loyalty?"

"Not really..." Ling Yuanbao answered again in a low voice.

"That's it." Liang Yue spread his hands and asked, "Then you are angry with me, either you have a problem, or you think I have a problem. Now you still feel angry, right?"

"Something seems to be wrong." Ling Yuanbao scratched his head, with guilt and confusion on his face, "But I don't know what's going on, I just feel something is wrong."

Liang Yue said magnanimously: "Then just apologize and let this matter pass."

"I'm sorry." Ling Yuanbao didn't say anything stubborn, and muttered, "You're too smart. I was always afraid that you would think I was stupid and you wouldn't take me with you when you had something to do."

"Captain Ling, I don't allow you to say that about yourself!" Liang Yue said with a serious face, "In my mind, you are the most capable captain in the Ministry of Justice, no doubt about it! If I didn't believe in your ability, why would I ask you for help every time? You have to believe in yourself too, you... are the best!"

"Really?" Ling Yuanbao's eyes gradually widened, as if he saw the light.

"Absolutely true." Liang Yue's eyes were firm, and he said at the same time: "Just like this time, I came here again with an extremely important matter."

As someone who can become good friends with Pang Chun, Liang Yue has sufficient experience in getting along with this kind of people.

With just a few words, Ling Yuanbao's emotions were immediately calmed down.

"What's the matter?" she asked excitedly again.

Liang Yue lowered his voice and said, "I have obtained important evidence that may bring down the Lu family of the Ministry of Industry. I must ensure that it is handed over to the left prime minister. Can I hand over this important task to you?"

"Such important evidence?" Ling Yuanbao also said in a serious tone, "This is a great achievement. Why don't you hand it over to Lord Zuo Xiang in person? I can help you arrange a meeting with him."

If it was an ordinary captain of the police who said he wanted to arrange a meeting with Lord Zuo Xiang, Liang Yue would just think he was bragging, as you yourself might not be able to ask for a meeting many times in a year.

But Ling Yuanbao's background is here, and what she said is absolutely true. Maybe she was able to work in the Ministry of Justice because her family has a good relationship with the Left Prime Minister.

"No need." Liang Yue shook his head and said, "I don't want to take credit for this matter. When the time comes, you can say that this piece of evidence was given by the late Zhang Xingkai of Yueyang Company to his former classmate Bai Zhishan of Longya Gang, and then Bai Zhishan gave it to you. You don't have to mention my name, just remember their two names."

"How can you do this?" Ling Yuanbao said, "I'm really not angry with you because I didn't contribute anything. You don't have to compensate me like this."

"This is not compensation. I have my reasons." Liang Yue said in a serious tone, "I don't lack this little bit of credit. As long as justice can be served, that's enough."

The reason why he didn't want to mention his name was, on the one hand, because he was afraid of retaliation, and on the other hand, in order to maximize the use of the evidence, he chose to hand the evidence over to the Left Prime Minister instead of the Crown Prince, who was currently his closest.

He was afraid that the prince would think too much if he knew.

What's more, he had just been rewarded for his meritorious service in the Tower of Babel case. What would it matter even if he had the additional credit of finding evidence?
Ling Yuanbao hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay!"

"Hey." Liang Yue said with a smile: "I always think of you when it comes to this kind of thing. Can we be good friends for life?"

Ling Yuanbao regained his heroic spirit and said, "Of course!"

"Then don't be angry with me next time." Liang Yue said again.

"Oh." Ling Yuanbao was a little shy, "Actually, I'm not just angry with you, it's mainly because of those people outside."

"Those who are causing trouble?" Liang Yue recalled what he had just seen.

"Yes!" Ling Yuanbao was still a little angry when he mentioned it. "In the past few days, four or five groups of people have come to the Ministry of Justice to cause trouble. We dare not even open the door. I said to go out and arrest them. Even if we don't arrest them, beating them up will make us feel better. But the higher-ups just told us to close the door and send the Imperial Guards to arrest them. We are hiding inside like turtles and suffering."

"Haha." Liang Yue laughed softly and said, "The heads of the Ministry of Justice are very experienced, just listen to them."

When he saw those troublemakers just now, he felt something was wrong.

For example, in the previous riot in Fukangfang, the main group was the nearby neighbors. Even if there were some bad guys fanning the flames, most of the people were unorganized and could not move in unison. They would also be afraid of the officials. But in the riot outside the Ministry of Justice, one or two people acted in unison, and they clearly knew the boundaries of the situation and the differences between the various government offices.

When they saw the Imperial Guards, they immediately surrendered. Given their large numbers, the Imperial Guards could only detain them for a few days at most.

But if the Ministry of Justice took action, I am afraid they would become more and more intense until a bloody conflict occurred. Once the matter became a big deal, the reputation of the Ministry of Justice as a cruel official would be confirmed on the spot.

These people behave too rationally.

How could such a rational person go outside the government gate and parade in the streets when the situation was unclear?

Unless someone organizes it.

The Ministry of Works has the least power among the six ministries, but is the best in making money. These are obviously counterattacks organized by the Lu family.

Liang Fuguo's reputation in the court has always been bad. During this period, there were a large number of memorials every day accusing him of persecuting the Ministry of Works. If this happened more often, there would be bloodshed and disputes, and he would be convicted of manipulating cruel officials, and his reputation among the people would also be tarnished.

Public opinion is easier to incite than official opinion. Ordinary people fear and hate officials. Liang Fuguo has a good reputation because he killed many corrupt officials. Once his reputation reverses, the collapse of his personality is also what everyone likes to see.

By then, everyone in the government and the public will hope that someone will fall, and it is very likely that the Left Prime Minister will not be able to survive Father-in-law Lu.

The officialdom is confusing and complicated. During this period, the Ministry of Justice has been strictly investigating the Ministry of Works and has put nearly half of the people in the Ministry of Works in jail. It seems that they have the upper hand, but in fact they are walking on thin ice.

One wrong move could lead to a total reversal of the situation.

Fortunately, the Minister of Justice was also a smart man. He knew not to let the people from the Ministry of Justice take action, but instead called on the Imperial Guards to solve the problem, thus minimizing the impact of the incident.

With Liang Fuguo's skills, Liang Yue believed that the evidence he handed over to him would be enough to kill the Minister of Works.

I will be attending classes with the prince tomorrow, so I have to go back early to prepare. I don’t have to worry about the rest.

……

To the north of Longyuan City is Luoxia Mountain.

The sunlight shines through the dense leaves and falls sparsely on the ground. When you step on them lightly, there is a crackling sound as a layer of dead leaves collapse.

Liang Xiaoyun, dressed in neat clothes, tied her horse at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain path.

Luoxia Mountain is very big, and she didn't know where the boy in straw sandals was, but since the other party only mentioned this place, it should mean that she can find him here.

She also considered whether there might be any danger, but she had a vague premonition for some time, like a dream that could predict the future, or like some kind of guidance.

As for Luoxia Mountain, she always felt that it was an opportunity.

So after thinking about it, she decided to come to the appointment and hear what the other party had to say.

When she stepped into the mountain, a clear voice suddenly rang in her mind, "You are here as expected."

Liang Xiaoyun didn't know where the voice came from, but she responded with a soft "hmm".

Immediately, a three-dimensional picture of the mountains appeared in her mind. In this picture, there was an extremely clear road, as if there was a perspective leading her forward.

so amazing.

She was surprised, but her face showed no expression as she followed the instructions in the picture and slowly climbed up the mountain. She had never practiced martial arts before, but she didn't seem to feel tired at all walking on these thorny mountain roads, which was quite abnormal.

With rapid steps, she soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.

On an open slope in the woods, fallen leaves gathered on the ground, like a dark carpet.

The young man in cloth clothes, straw sandals and fair skin stood quietly by the woods, staring at the open space in a daze.

When Liang Xiaoyun came out, he looked up and exchanged glances with her, then said, "Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, a mysterious ray of light fell from the sky and landed here. At that time, this place was still a plain, but later, a mountain was added at some point, and it was called Luoxia Mountain."

Liang Xiaoyun looked at the other person, not knowing what he meant, but she listened attentively.

"Since then, there has been a lineage of mystics in the world. Many people say that the falling rays of light are the gods from heaven descending to the world, bringing the key to open the palace of the gods to the world."

"It's a pity that this key is too rare. Not even one person out of a million can awaken it." The young man smiled. "How lucky are you?"

"Can I become a mystic?" Liang Xiaoyun's eyes flickered as she asked for confirmation.

"And you are one of the most gifted mystics." The young man praised, "Most mystics have some inspiration, at most some telepathy and some prophetic dreams, but you can actually directly leave your body. This kind of talent is rare in a thousand years."

Liang Xiaoyun didn't show her joy when she heard that she actually had such a talent, but said calmly: "So that's how it is. I really didn't understand these things and was very scared at the time. But I still want to thank you for saving me. Did you let me come here just to tell me this?"

"More than that." The boy in straw sandals scratched his head and smiled shyly, "Actually, I want to take you in as my apprentice, but I just don't know how to ask. Um... I wonder if you're willing?"

"Would you like to be my disciple?" Liang Xiaoyun looked at him, "But I don't even know your name."

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else," the boy replied, "My name is Xuanyuan 14."

　Good morning.
