Seeing this man being so ignorant, Lin Gong immediately said to the people around him.
"Kill him."
Upon hearing this, dozens of guards immediately rushed towards the opposite side without hesitation.
The speed can be described as a race to the front.
This is all about wanting to make a contribution.
Afterwards, Lin Gong stopped paying attention to the battle and turned around, intending to return to the carriage and wait.
One step, two steps, three steps
After a few steps, he returned to the carriage and immediately raised his leg to get on.
At this moment, he subconsciously glanced back and felt that the situation behind him was a little too quiet.
But after this glance, his movements suddenly froze.
Because his dozens of expert guards had all fallen to the ground at this moment.
The young man was less than three meters away from him.
Lin Gong swore that he didn't hear any sound of fighting.
At this moment, he was finally afraid.
Although he also had an eighth-grade cultivation, he knew better than to think that someone who could defeat so many masters in just a few steps was definitely not someone he could resist with only eighth-grade strength.
He even felt that even a ninth-grade warrior couldn't do this.
"Who are you?"
"I am the son of the Prime Minister and a disciple of the Crown Prince. I can give you anything you want. Your martial arts skills are unparalleled, and I can guarantee you a worry-free future and endless wealth and glory."
After listening to him, the young man walked up to him and said with a mocking smile.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lu Xiao, the director of the First Division of the Inspection Institute."
The moment he heard this name, Lin Gong felt as if the sky had fallen.
The next moment, Lu Xiao attacked directly, slashing Lin Gong's neck with his palm.
Lin Gong suddenly passed out.
He then picked up Lin Gong with one hand, turned around and flew towards Kyoto.
After all, Minister Lin was the Prime Minister. Even if Lu Xiao was now the head of a branch of the Inspection Institute, he couldn't force his way into the Lin residence and arrest anyone under the order of Emperor Wuqing.
That's why Lu Xiao asked Yuan Hongdao to deliver a message to Prime Minister Lin yesterday.
He said, Lin Gong has been captured.
The purpose was to make Lin Xiang take the initiative to send Lin Gong out of the Lin Mansion.
As expected, the always shrewd and calculating Lin Xiang still made a wrong judgment when it came to his son's safety.
As a result, Lu Xiao easily captured Lin Gong alive.
(Li) From now on, the initiative is completely on his side.
Half an hour later, Lu Xiao was walking down the streets of Kyoto City, carrying the unconscious Lin Gong.
At this moment, most of the people in Kyoto City have already woken up.
After seeing this scene, all passers-by were shocked.
"Wait, that person seems to be the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Yes, that's right. I saw him at Zuixianlou. It seems the people who arrested him are from the Inspection Bureau."
"Oh my goodness, is the Inspection Office so powerful now that they even dare to arrest the Second Young Master of Prime Minister Lin?"
"You probably don't know this, right? Do you know about the Niulan Street assassination? It's said that it was planned by Second Young Master Lin."
Listening to the whispers of the people on the street, Lu Xiao felt very satisfied.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He's not afraid of things getting out of hand.
I'm afraid the incident isn't big enough.
The bigger the matter, the lower the obstacles he would encounter when dealing with Lin Gong.
After all, the people's hearts can be used.
Chapter 141 The Situation Changes
Just like that, Lu Xiao paraded through the streets and returned to the Inspection Institute.
I think it won't take half a day for the news of Lin Gong's arrest to spread throughout Kyoto.
But just after he came back, Deng Ziyue ran over with a panicked look on his face.
"Sir, something terrible has happened."
Lu Xiao asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
Deng Ziyue immediately said, "Early this morning, rumors began to spread in Kyoto that Lin Gong had colluded with assassins from Northern Qi to murder pillars of Southern Qing. The news has spread throughout the city, and many citizens are outraged. They have spontaneously petitioned the court, demanding severe punishment for the murderer."
Lu Xiao's face lit up when he heard this: "Great! I didn't expect the effect I wanted to appear so quickly."
Deng Ziyue was confused at this moment and subconsciously asked, "Sir, were you the one who spread the rumors in the city?"
It shouldn't be.
To spread the rumor to this extent in such a short period of time, one must have used the connections of the Inspection Bureau.
At this time, Lu Xiao also reacted and asked.
"Wait, you mean there were rumors this morning?"
Deng Ziyue nodded: "Yes, there are some before dawn."
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "That wasn't me. I just took Lin Gong for a stroll on purpose. Even if the news was going to spread, it wouldn't have spread so quickly."
"Sir, it seems someone is behind this incident. I think they want to force you to make an impartial judgment and thus offend Minister Lin."
Deng Ziyue is very smart.
The case is in the hands of the Procuratorate, and Lin Gong is also in the hands of the Procuratorate.
The final judge of the case is the Inspection Court.
In such a situation of public outrage, if the Inspection Office dared to side with Lin Gong, it would inevitably incur the wrath of the people.
But if the case is handled impartially, there is no chance that Lin Gong will survive, after all, the crime he committed is enough to warrant the death penalty.
If this were to happen, the Inspection Office would completely offend Prime Minister Lin.
After thinking this through, Deng Ziyue couldn't help but say, "What a cruel method."
Lu Xiao nodded, then added, "What a thoughtful move."
"What?" Deng Ziyue was dumbfounded. "Sir, were you right?"
Lu Xiao said, "What could be wrong? I never intended to let Lin Gong go. Although I don't know who helped me, I really want to thank him."
It can be seen that Lu Xiao is very happy now.
No fakery at all.
At the Lin residence, Yuan Hongdao, who only had one hand left, hurried into the study.
"Prime Minister, something bad has happened."
In the study, Lin Xiang raised his head and said.
"Take your time, there's no rush. Do you want to tell me about the rumors in town?"
Rumors spread early in the city.
When Lin Gong left the city early this morning, Lin Xiang had actually been secretly following behind him, watching his son pass through the city gate before returning.
On his way back, he happened to hear the rumor.
"Rumors aren't a big deal. They're just some people trying to force my team. As long as Gong'er is fine, give me a few days and I'll be able to completely suppress this."
Lin Xiang said confidently.
Since Lin Gong left the city, he has become the shrewd and calculating prime minister again.
So I had already figured out the ultimate goal of the person who spread the rumors.
And locked onto the target.
But the next moment, he lost his composure again.
Yuan Hongdao said anxiously, "Prime Minister, this is not a rumor. Something happened to the Second Young Master. He was arrested by the Inspection Office."
"What!" Lin Xiang suddenly stood up. "How is that possible? I saw him leave the city with my own eyes."
Yuan Hongdao said, "This is absolutely true. Not long ago, Lu Xiao, the director of the Inspection Office, personally carried the Second Young Master across the street and returned to the Inspection Office. Many people saw it."
This time, Lin Xiang had to believe it, and then he finally reacted.
"Oh no, I fell into a trap."
Fortunately, his long-term cultivation has made his mentality stable enough.
Even when faced with such a major event, he was able to immediately adjust his mindset and think of countermeasures.
After a moment, Lin Xiang immediately gave the order.
"Get me a car. Looks like I need to go to the Inspection Office myself."
Yuan Hongdao immediately went down to prepare.
Unfortunately, half an hour later, Lin Xiang once again returned to the Lin Mansion with a look of disappointment on his face.
He didn't even see Lu Xiao.
Inspection House.
"Sir, I don't understand why you don't want to see Prime Minister Lin?" Deng Ziyue humbly asked.
Lu Xiao casually said, "No reason. Minister Lin is here just to negotiate with me to release his son. But the problem is, I won't release his son. So this matter was off the table from the beginning. Why bother?"
"Didn't you ask him to come in person yesterday?"
Deng Ziyue remembers it clearly.
Lu Xiao nodded: "I did tell him to come in person, but not now."
"Not now?" Deng Ziyue was confused.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Minister Lin hasn't given up hope yet. We won't gain much by negotiating now, so we have to wait until he's completely desperate before we can negotiate terms with him."
"When?" Deng Ziyue asked.
Lu Xiao shook his head. "I don't know about that. It depends on when His Majesty summons me."
Deng Ziyue didn't understand the last part at all.
Time flies by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Kyoto is very lively during this period.
Everyone was already discussing one topic.
That is whether Lin Gong will die.
There are all kinds of things said.
However, the majority of the people wanted the court to handle the case impartially.
Of course, there are also many voices saying that Prime Minister Lin has worked hard for the country and the people and has made great contributions. Even if his son is guilty, his crime does not warrant the death penalty, and they hope that the court will show leniency.
But the sound of this part is very small.
It seems that we can't handle the first half at the moment.
But you never know when the wind will change.
In the hands of the upper class, anything can be used as a tool.
