Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

He was so frightened that he dared not move anymore.

But at this moment, Lu Xiao turned around and suddenly noticed a pile of professional torture instruments on the table next to him.

He suddenly remembered something.

So he turned to Yuan Hongdao and asked, "Are those toys on the table yours?"

Yuan Hongdao subconsciously responded: "Yeah."

Have questions?

有.

And the problem is big.

Lu Xiao suddenly remembered that in the original timeline, Yuan Hongdao had severely tortured Si Lili.

In the world of Joy of Life, Lu Xiao has never been a good person.

Being petty, lustful, cruel, and unscrupulous are just a few of his many bad traits.

At this moment, the bad habit of being narrow-minded broke out.

He coldly asked the person next to him, "Which hand did he use to carry these things in?"

The subordinate who had received Yuan Hongdao earlier immediately said.

“Right hand.”

Lu Xiao nodded.

The next moment he attacked without any warning.

A ray of sword energy passed through, and Yuan Hongdao suddenly felt a chill on his right hand.

By the time he reacted, blood had already gushed out.

"Uh"

He subconsciously cried out, then swallowed the rest of the cry with his own strong will.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao chuckled softly. "You're smart for not disturbing me. This hand is the price you pay for your rudeness intruding into my Inspection Office. From now on, be careful with your eyes. Remember, this is the Inspection Office."

This is full of gangster-like words, not at all like an official.

But Yuan Hongdao did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction at this moment.

Because just a moment ago, he really saw murderous intent in Lu Xiao's eyes.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, it would definitely be more than just his hand that was broken.

After Lu Xiao left, Yuan Hongdao finally picked up his severed hand, covered his right arm, and staggered out of the Inspection Office.

Along the way, many people were frightened.

By the time he had treated his injuries and returned to the Daoling Mansion, it was already evening.

Lin Mansion.

When Lin Xiang saw Yuan Hongdao's miserable appearance, he immediately became angry.

"Was this done by someone from the Inspection Institute?"

The two have known each other since childhood and have been friends for more than 20 years.

Lin Xiang knew that Yuan Hongdao had a lot of skills.

He had suggested several times that he should be allowed to serve as an official in the court.

But each time he was rejected by Yuan Hongdao on the grounds that he had no interest in officialdom.

Over the years, Yuan Hongdao has been by his side and has helped him a lot.

Outsiders only thought that Yuan Hongdao was his respected advisor.

But in reality, Lin Xiang really regarded Yuan Hongdao as a close friend.

Now, his best friend had his right hand cut off when he went to do something for him. How could he not be angry?

To be honest, this kind of straightforward anger hasn't appeared in him for many years.

Even when he learned about Lin Gong's situation that morning, he was just angry that his son was not up to the task and had been schemed against by others.

But not angry yet.

After all, in officialdom, either you scheme against me or I scheme against you.

If you can't outsmart others, you can only say that you are not as skilled as them. There is no need to be angry.

Yuan Hongdao immediately said, "Prime Minister, don't be angry. I was careless and didn't understand Lu Xiao's temper in advance. I didn't expect him to be so moody."

Moody.

This was Yuan Hongdao's first impression of Lu Xiao.

After all, Lu Xiao's move was too sudden.

Moreover, the reason seemed far-fetched to him. He always felt that Lu Xiao simply wanted to cut off his hand.

The kind without any reason.

Think about it, then do it.

I have to say, Yuan Hongdao's intuition is quite accurate.

"Alas, it is me who has implicated you after all." Lin Xiang sighed.

Then he asked: "What does he want? What does he mean?"

Yuan Hongdao then recounted the conversation he had with Lu Xiao after they met.

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiang fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he spoke.

"It seems I overestimated this matter before. He was targeting me on purpose. Now it seems that publicly exposing Gong'er had nothing to do with the Northern Qi spy, but was intentional on his part."

"Prime Minister, what should we do now? I have a feeling that Lu Xiao is a little crazy, and his subordinates seem to be crazy too. When facing a man like him, no one can guarantee that they can predict his next move."

Yuan Hongdao said carefully.

Prime Minister Lin nodded. "From what you said, he did act rather recklessly. However, matters in the court must naturally be handled according to court rules. Being reckless is not a good thing. How about this? Didn't he say he wanted to arrest Gong'er? Tomorrow morning, you should arrange for Gong'er to leave the city. I will slowly discuss the rest with him in the court. Without any evidence, relying only on the confession of a Northern Qi spy, he cannot convict my son. I haven't served as Prime Minister for so many years in vain."

Yuan Hongdao: "Yes, I understand. I will escort the Second Young Master out of the city early tomorrow morning."

He knew that Lin Xiangzhe was worried that Lu Xiao would attack Lin Gong directly.

Chapter 140: Arrest

The next day, it was still dark.

A luxurious carriage drove out from Prime Minister Lin's residence.

Dozens of martial arts masters followed behind the carriage as guards.

The lowest level of cultivation is at the seventh level.

As a prime minister of a country, it is normal for him to be able to win over such a master to work for him.

The person in the carriage was naturally Lin Gong.

In fact, Lin Gong himself was not willing to leave Kyoto.

Because in his opinion, this is a fear of expression.

Unfortunately, his father insisted last night.

The focus of the Niulan Street assassination case has now shifted from Northern Qi spy Si Lili to Lin Gong.

As long as the Censorate couldn't find him in a short period of time, then Prime Minister Lin would have enough time to argue with the Censorate in the court.

Don't look at the seriousness of this case.

But to be honest, the losses on the Nanqing side were not great.

It was just half a street, and a few innocent lives lost.

Yes, several.

There were also people in the houses that were burned that day.

However, the bodies of these people were not discovered until afterward.

The main reason why the situation has escalated to this point is that this case may involve the struggle for the throne among the princes.

But similar things have happened a lot in recent years.

When the hype dies down, everyone will naturally forget about it.

Therefore, to sum up, if Lin Gong leaves Kyoto City now, it will only benefit Lin Xiang and not harm him.

The carriage continued on its way, and after exiting the north gate, it turned westward at a rapid speed.

It wasn't until they were about fifty miles away from Kyoto City that their speed slowed down.

Lin Gong finally had the mood to open the car window and take in the surrounding scenery.

At this moment, a shepherd appeared in the official's office.

The shepherd seemed to have never seen such a luxurious carriage before, so he stopped to take a closer look.

These two eyes happened to meet Lin Gong's gaze.

Seeing this, Lin Gong gently waved and said to the guards outside.

"Kill him, he saw my face."

He left the city secretly this time, and he absolutely couldn't let the people from the Inspection Office know his whereabouts.

After hearing this, the guard walked towards the shepherd without hesitation.

At this moment, the shepherd also realized that something was wrong and immediately turned around and ran away.

Unfortunately, how could his speed possibly compare to those people in the martial arts world?

In just a few breaths, the guard caught up.

Then he drew his weapon without hesitation and chopped it down.

“Have mercy!”

The shepherd closed his eyes and shouted loudly.

After a long time, he suddenly realized that he was still alive.

Then he opened his eyes cautiously.

He saw that the man who had stabbed him was lying on the ground.

Not far in front of him, a young man who looked quite young was slowly walking towards the luxurious carriage.

Seeing this, the shepherd immediately shouted to the man, "Thank you so much for saving my life."

Although the young man didn't turn around, he still spoke.

"Let's go now, and don't be too curious in the future."

The shepherd nodded repeatedly, bowed three times to the young man, then immediately stood up, drove his sheep, and ran away.

The movements here naturally could not be hidden from Lin Gong in the carriage.

He immediately wanted to understand the identity of the person who came.

Then, he calmly got off the carriage, walked forward a few steps, and asked the young man in the distance.

"Are you from the Inspection Institute?"

The man didn't reply, but instead asked, "Lin Gong?"

Seeing his attitude, Lin Gong couldn't help but show anger on his face.

"You guys from the Inspection Institute are really too arrogant now! Do you think you can catch me by yourself?"

The man still didn't reply and continued talking to himself.

"It seems that's correct."

After saying this, he walked forward step by step.
