Chapter 1496: Conspiracy in secret
In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day.
On this day.
An envoy from the central government of the imperial court came to Yushan City.
In the Great Yu Empire, Emperor Yuhua was in charge of military power, and most of the government affairs were handled by the central government.
The small matter of listing Yushan City as a fiefdom could not alarm Emperor Yuhua at all, and the central government was directly responsible.
"Lingyun listens to the order."
The central government envoy said: "Lingyun, the fourth-rank inspector, pacified the disaster of the resentful spirits in Yushan City. Now Yushan City is specially granted as Lingyun's fiefdom. Lord Ling, please accept the order."
Lingyun stepped forward to accept the order.
The central government envoy did not stay in Yushan City for long, and went directly to Mucheng.
In Mucheng, there are more big figures.
Those big figures are qualified to entertain him.
Lingyun is just an inspector, and he has no real power. He really doesn't take it seriously.
But for Lingyun, this is undoubtedly a huge relief.
Yushan City has finally become his fiefdom.
This is a very important thing for him.
From now on, he can control Yushan City legally and reasonably.
At the same time.
With the arrival of the Central Envoy in Mucheng, the Lord of Mucheng of the Dark Night Division did not dare to neglect it, and came out to greet him together with the Governor of Muzhou.
As soon as the Lord of Mucheng of the Dark Night Division came out, Yu Zhen and others could no longer isolate themselves from the news of the Dark Night Division.
Yanlingmen and Xiangjia and others soon asked the Lord of Mucheng about Lingyun.
The Lord of Mucheng of the Dark Night Division was named "Wang Hui".
Lingyun had met Wang Hui before when he was in Cangcheng.
Wang Hui's cultivation was not strong, only the sixth transformation of Youying.
But to some extent, he was very similar to Lingyun, a genius who could fight across levels.
Although his cultivation was the sixth transformation of Youying, his combat power was comparable to that of Zhuzhao warriors.
In Mucheng, even the top Zhuzhao warriors did not dare to underestimate him.
"Ling Yun?"
Wang Hui raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "I am not very familiar with him. If you want to ask me, you are asking the wrong person."
He knew the grudge between Ling Yun and the prince.
As for him, he is not from the prince's lineage.
But he did not have a good impression of Ling Yun.
After all, Ling Yun killed the people of the Dark Night Division as soon as he came to the Tianyun Ancient Realm.
Admittedly, Ling Yun's methods were very clever. When he killed the people of the Dark Night Division, even the coroner could not find out the truth.
But what kind of person is Wang Hui.
As the master of the Dark Night Division, he has seen countless conspiracies and tricks.
No matter how clever Ling Yun's methods were, he believed that the two people in the Dark Night Division were killed by Ling Yun.
After all, Ling Yun had this motive.
At first glance, those two people were the people arranged by the prince to monitor Ling Yun.
If Ling Yun did not kill those two people, it would be impossible for him to do anything in this Tianyun Ancient Realm.
When hearing Wang Hui's words, the eyes of the top leaders of the major forces flickered.
The top leaders of all the major forces are smart people.
On the surface, Wang Hui didn't say anything bad about Ling Yun.
But he, the dignified Lord of the Dark Night Division, said that he was not familiar with Ling Yun, the Dark Night Division Inspector. There was undoubtedly a big problem here.
Xiang Lifeng, the head of the Xiang family, said directly: "Lord Wang, Ling Yun is the Dark Night Division Inspector, and he is considered your subordinate. How can you not be familiar with him?"
Wang Hui did not answer this question.
He did not like Ling Yun, nor would he target Ling Yun.
Between Ling Yun and the prince, he chose not to help either.
He was only loyal to Emperor Yu Hua.
He did not want to get involved in other things.
However, next to Wang Hui, another middle-aged man sneered.
This middle-aged man was Zhang Teng, the deputy lord of the Dark Night Division Mucheng Branch.
Wang Hui was a third-rank official, and he was a third-rank official.
"This Ling Yun is not from our branch hall."
Zhang Teng joked: "He came from the Daluo upper realm and was ordered by the prince to come to Yushan City to quell the disaster of resentful spirits. Some of his actions have nothing to do with our Mucheng Dark Night Division branch hall."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.
Zhang Teng's words made them immediately understand that Ling Yun was not only not from the Mucheng Dark Night Division branch hall, but he was probably an enemy rather than a friend to Zhang Teng.
Otherwise, Zhang Teng would not have had to expose Ling Yun like this.
Besides this.
From Zhang Teng's words, they heard a deeper meaning.
Nowadays, the top leaders of all major forces understand how deep the disaster of resentful spirits in Yushan City is.
The report materials on the surface show that this is just an ordinary disaster of resentful spirits.
However, at least two demons appeared in Yushan City.
Others don't know about this situation, but the prince can't be unaware of it.
The prince sent Ling Yun here, and his intention is self-evident.
The prince wants Ling Yun to die.
Wang Hui glanced at Zhang Teng coldly.
With just one sentence, he could tell that Zhang Teng was also the prince's man.
But he still didn't say anything, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Even if he knew many things, he couldn't change them, so he could only stick to his position.
When the patriarchs of the major forces were welcoming the central envoy, some of their high-level people gathered in other places.
These forces were mainly Xiang Family, Yanling Sect, Huanzhen Sect and Meng Family.
There are five overlords in Mucheng. Except for Qingxu Sect, the other four overlords have gathered.
"This Lingyun is actually using tiger skin to scare us."
Xiang Xiaotian said angrily.
The high-level people of the other three major forces also had gloomy faces.
Before, they were really scared by Lingyun's identity as the inspector of the Dark Night Division, so they hurriedly ceded the Yushan City industry to try to eliminate Lingyun's anger.
Who would have thought that Lingyun's identity was purely an empty shell.
From the attitudes of Wang Hui and Zhang Teng, Ling Yun not only had no power in the Dark Night Division, but was also excluded and even hostile by the Dark Night Division.
Looking back, their compensation to Ling Yun was simply a loss.
"Die, this person must die."
The Great Elder of Huanzhen Sect said with a ferocious expression.
Huanzhen Sect and Ling Yun had no major conflicts.
But when they were in Yushan City, Huanzhen Sect gave all the properties of Yushan City to Ling Yun in order not to be hated by Ling Yun.
If Ling Yun was really a powerful inspector, it would be fine.
As a result, Ling Yun's identity was purely nominal.
Huanzhen Sect's efforts were destined to get nothing.
Thinking of this, his heart bled and he hated Ling Yun.
Ling Yun, this kid, knew all this but said nothing, obviously deliberately deceiving them.
"We must kill Ling Yun, that little bastard. Although he has no real power, his official position is real."
Meng Qu was calmer. "Killing an official appointed by the court is a crime that neither you nor I can bear. Even if it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has to go through so much trouble to kill him. Obviously, he is also concerned about this."
"Yes, we must be cautious if we want to kill him."
Xiang Xiaotian calmed down and nodded.
"It's not as complicated as you think."
Yang Li, the deputy head of Yanling Gate and the deputy commander of the Black Cavalry, smiled sinisterly. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to deal with him so complicatedly, just because he is careful about his reputation and is worried about damaging his reputation.
We don't have so many concerns. As long as no one catches the evidence, we can do whatever we want to him."
