At the same time, he looked at Yuan Hongdao with an unfriendly look.
The commotion in the outer courtyard quickly attracted a large number of inspection personnel.
Many colleagues had already gathered around him from all sides.
They moved in formation, almost blocking all of Yuan Hongdao's escape routes.
Yuan Hongdao was not at all panicked by this scene, and the smile on his face did not fade. He spoke calmly.
"Please tell Lord Lu Xiao that Minister Lin's disciple Yuan Hongdao wants to see you."
In the past, Yuan Hongdao would not have taken the initiative to expose Lin Xiang's name, because a former organizer knew him.
But now it's obviously not possible.
After all, he and Lu Xiao had never met before.
So in order to see Lu Xiao, he had no choice but to reveal the identity of "Lin Xiang".
But unfortunately, things did not develop as he expected.
He originally thought that the words "Minister Lin" were enough to intimidate these ordinary inspection staff.
But in the end, when the person opposite heard Lin Xiang's name, his expression did not change at all, and he continued to stare at him intently.
"First, tell me clearly what you want to see me for!"
There was a hint of questioning in his tone.
As a subordinate completely loyal to Lu Xiao.
When doing everything, Lu Xiao's safety is always the first priority.
Even though Lu Xiao was powerful, he didn't really need their protection.
But this kind of loyalty has been deeply rooted in everyone's soul.
Therefore, as a qualified subordinate, he absolutely would not allow anything that could threaten Lu Xiao to get even a step closer to him.
Yuan Hongdao naturally didn't know this.
But even so, his evaluation of the place couldn't help but be higher.
In his heart, he was constantly impressed by Lu Xiao's extraordinary abilities.
He took control of the Inspection Institute's first division, and in less than a month, he was able to train the personnel there to such a level. This is truly remarkable.
But he definitely couldn't say the purpose of coming here today.
After learning that his son was the mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination, Lin Xiang immediately figured out the key to the case.
I know my son must have been used by the Crown Prince or the Princess.
But things have developed to this point now, and the situation is obviously out of control.
Now, there is only one way to quietly cover up this matter.
That is to solve the problem from the root.
It was Si Lili who said that Lin Gong was the mastermind.
Therefore, we need to find a solution to this problem from Si Lili's perspective.
As long as Si Lili changes her confession and admits that she slandered Lin Gong.
Then this situation can be solved.
What other people think afterwards is not important.
There are so many things that are known to everyone in the court, yet everyone still lives in peace and harmony on a daily basis.
Many things just require an explanation.
Truth or not, it doesn't matter at all.
That's why Prime Minister Lin sent Yuan Hongdao to negotiate with Lu Xiao on his behalf.
In Lin Xiang's opinion, Lu Xiao's actions were simply to gain benefits for the Inspection Institute.
For the sake of his son, he was willing to give up some of his interests in the court and hand them over to the Inspection Office.
As for the torture device, it was of course prepared for Si Lili.
After all, Prime Minister Lin didn't know Si Lili well, and he didn't know if her public disclosure of this matter was a deliberate attempt by Northern Qi to sow discord within the Southern Qing court.
Look everyone, another smart guy.
There are really a lot of ideas.
Of course, Lin Xiang's many thoughts could not be expressed openly.
So Yuan Hongdao naturally wouldn't say anything at this moment.
So he gently waved to the inspector across from him, signaling him to come closer.
Seeing this, the man, although he was confused, still took two steps forward and put his ear close.
Yuan Hongdao then whispered, "If I tell you, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."
In all conscience, from his perspective, he didn't tell a single lie.
But the people at the Inspection Office don't buy it.
After hearing this, he smiled coldly: "You dare to threaten me, you are so brave!"
As he said this, Yuan Hongdao moved.
He suddenly grabbed the collar of the inspector with his left hand and pushed him hard against the wall.
At the same time, he raised his right hand, and a tiny silver needle appeared between his fingers.
Then he pressed the silver needle firmly against the inspector's eyes.
Seeing this sudden situation, the surrounding inspection staff immediately drew their swords.
Yuan Hongdao immediately shouted loudly.
"Don't move."
The surroundings suddenly became silent.
Yuan Hongdao then said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't leave. Please ask Master Lu Xiao to come out and see me."
He was very confident at this moment.
With a hostage in hand, the people around him would certainly not dare to act rashly.
But at this moment, the man he was using silver to hold against suddenly said:
"Huh, you idiot! How dare you break into my Inspection Office with such little skill!"
Before he could finish his words, the man suddenly moved forward, completely ignoring the silver needle.
Just as the silver needle was about to pierce his eye, Yuan Hongdao pulled his right hand away.
He just wanted to see someone, not really want to offend anyone. 5.6 If he hadn't been paying attention to the person in his hand, the silver needle would have been inserted by now.
"Madman, are you crazy?"
Yuan Hongdao asked himself if he had seen countless people.
But I've never seen such a crazy person.
Even if they were specially trained as assassins, they would not be as calm as the person just now when facing life and death.
There wasn't a trace of fear or panic in his eyes.
There was even a touch of enthusiasm and excitement at the end.
It seemed as if dying like this was a great honor for him.
At this moment, Yuan Hongdao suddenly realized that coming here today might have been a mistake.
Unfortunately, there were no hostages at this time, so the remaining people immediately stepped forward.
Several long knives were pressed against his neck at the same time.
If he showed even the slightest intention of resisting, those knives would probably cut his neck without hesitation.
Chapter 139: The Petty Lu Xiao
In the room, Lu Xiao, who had originally planned nothing, finally decided to do something absurd during the day after being teased by the beauty.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to make a move.
Suddenly, a report came from outside.
"Sir, someone has forced their way into the inner courtyard and requested to see you. They have already been apprehended by our brothers. They revealed their origins, saying they are a disciple of Prime Minister Lin, and their name is Yuan Hongdao."
After hearing this, Lu Xiao said angrily.
"What a bummer."
Si Lili patted Lu Xiao and said.
"Let's get down to business first. I can't run away."
Lu Xiao reluctantly put down his hand that was climbing to the top, and then slowly stood up.
"Okay, let's go take a look. I just happened to be looking for someone to pass on a message to Minister Lin, so this will save you some trouble."
Having said that, Lin Xiang's actions were a bit too fast.
Originally, Lu Xiao thought that he would at least endure until tomorrow.
It now seems that Lin's regard for his son Lin Gong is far greater than he imagined.
After getting up, Lu Xiao tidied up his messy clothes before walking out of the room.
After a while, he arrived at the front yard.
At this time, in the front yard, Yuan Hongdao was kneeling on the ground with swords pointed at him by a group of people from the Inspection Office.
Lu Xiao glanced at him lightly, then leaned back and sat firmly on the chair his subordinates had just brought.
"Are you Yuan Hongdao?"
Of course he knew the name.
Yuan Hongdao, ostensibly Prime Minister Lin's most trusted advisor, was actually a spy planted by Princess Li Yunrui.
In the future, he will definitely trick Lin Xiang.
However, the 7th chapter of Guilingliu's Stream of Sulfur (II) has not been completed yet.
He has another identity that is hidden very deeply.
He was one of the first group of secret agents specially selected and trained by Chen Pingping from the Institute when it was first established.
That's right, this guy is from Pingping.
Of course, Lu Xiao would definitely pretend not to know this at this moment.
After finally meeting the real culprit, Yuan Hongdao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after what happened before, he no longer dared to be arrogant.
So he immediately said respectfully.
"Indeed, I, on behalf of Minister Lin, would like to extend my greetings to you, my Lord."
Lu Xiao said calmly, "I appreciate Prime Minister Lin's kindness. Is there anything else?"
After saying this, Yuan Hongdao showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then he glanced around the courtyard.
"Please, sir, please dismiss your attendants. I have something to discuss with you."
Lu Xiao ignored his conditions and spoke directly.
"What about Lin Gong?"
Yuan Hongdao nodded.
Lu Xiao said, "Then we have nothing more to discuss. You are not qualified to talk to me. The reason I wanted to see you today is simply to ask you to pass on a message to Minister Lin. I have Lin Gong captured. If Minister Lin wants to talk, please come in person later."
After saying this, Lu Xiao immediately stood up.
Yuan Hongdao wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt the knife on his neck cut into his flesh.
