Chapter 238 Yang Tinghe Has a Secret
There is a big secret in Yang Tinghe, this is Bai Xiaosheng's judgment.
Because when everyone thought that the other party was trapped in the secret realm, the most surprising thing was that the blood demon not only came out of it strangely, but also did not return to the demon sect, but lurked here, which was very strange.
Originally, Bai Xiaosheng was not aware of this matter. Even if Yang Tinghe acted strangely during the Tiandu Rebellion, it did not arouse his suspicion.
It was only later that after Pei Xuanjing killed the Seven Kills Sword Master, he had a conflict with the Demon Sect. Bai Xiaosheng paid special attention to the Demon Sect's affairs and found that when he was in Tiandu, the behavior of Xue Wuhen, the leader of the Demon Sect, was a bit strange. Only then did he discover Yang Tinghe's identity.
Moreover, the old Heavenly Master did not come to Tiandu. He was not in retreat as everyone thought. Instead, he went to Xue Wuhen to discuss the Tao and stop him so as not to affect the Tiandu plan.
Yang Tinghe has a big secret, so even if it is to find out these things, it is worth saving his life.
Of course, this was what Bai Xiaosheng said after he knew that Pei Xuanjing had gathered his soul and was very confident to do so.
If a critical moment comes and it is beyond expectation, then Pei Xuanjing does not need to hold back and everything should be based on planning.
It was officially because of this that Pei Xuanjing never used his full strength when taking action, and always chose to leave room for action. One was because he was afraid of killing the opponent without holding back, and the other was because he wanted to test it out.
Otherwise, with Pei Xuanjing's current strength, it only takes one sword to unsheath the Seven Killing Sword. No matter what the opponent's abilities are, he will probably not be able to survive, and there is no need to go to such trouble.
He shot out a sword intent and sank into the blood demon's body, then turned around and walked in the direction of the group of officials, ignoring the other party's desire to curse and seek death.
Although he was in the imperial city at the moment, Pei Xuanjing, who was originally just an outsider, seemed to be the master, strolling around leisurely.
He slowly walked towards the group of officials, and with every step he took, the faces of the group changed.
Facing such a terrifying Pei Xuanjing, they didn't know what the other party wanted to do next or what he would do.
What frightens them even more is that no matter what Pei Xuanjing wants to do, they seem to have no possibility of stopping him and can only let him do it.
Wang Qiong's expression changed slightly, and she was about to take a big step, but she never wanted to be beaten first.
Jiang Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, suddenly laughed, strode out and said to Pei Xuanjing: "Brother Pei, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"
No one expected that this commander who had always been silent and could reduce his presence would come forward at this time.
The news of his acquaintance with Pei Xuanjing has long been known to the public, and even now many people believe that he was the instigator when Pei Xuanjing killed the previous commander Qian Ning in the Xuan Mansion.
When Pei Xuanjing showed up just now, the other party remained silent and refused to speak out. Now he has no intention of standing up suddenly.
Could it be that the other party saw Pei Xuanjing's extraordinary strength and wanted to win over him?
Some people guessed in their hearts.
Even Lin Qingyi, who was not far behind him, also guessed the same.
After all, after Pei Xuanjing left, the other party warned Lin Qingyi that he no longer needed to get too close to Pei Xuanjing, as the two sides had become people from different camps.
Even Pei Xuanjing was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jiang Bin to step forward at this time.
However, Pei Xuanjing did not show his surprise. A faint smile appeared on his face: "I haven't seen you for many years. Is Mr. Jiang okay?"
Hearing Pei Xuanjing address him as Master Jiang, many people had sarcastic smiles on their faces.
Obviously they understood that Pei Xuanjing had no intention of building a relationship with the other party.
Even Jiang Bin's smile couldn't help but stagnated slightly, but it passed quickly. Jiang Bin still smiled and said to Pei Xuanjing: "Although this blood demon was subdued by Brother Pei, Jiang still wants to shamelessly ask for a favor. No. I wonder if Brother Pei can hand over this person to Jiang. After all, Jin Yiwei has the responsibility of supervising all officials. Jiang has been hiding in the court for decades, but Jiang knows nothing about it and has neglected his duty, so he wants to make up for it and interrogate him. Does the other party have any hidden accomplices?”
He pointed at Yang Tinghe beside him and said righteously.
These words were righteous and upright, and no one else could find anything inappropriate about them.
After all, Jin Yiwei has the duty to supervise all officials, and Yang Tinghe was originally the chief minister of the dynasty. Judging from the official rank, if there is no order from the emperor to deprive him of his position, even the three three law departments, namely the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple Yamen also has no right to be the other party.
Only an institution like Jinyiwei with imperial authority is qualified to imprison, imprison and interrogate him.
Suddenly some people understood and guessed that Jiang Bin wanted to take this opportunity to make up for his mistakes, or to take credit.
Of course, what no one saw was that Yang Tinghe, who was already a little desperate, had an unspeakable look in his eyes after hearing Jiang Bin's words.
A faint smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing's face. Just when Jiang Bin thought he would agree, he saw Pei Xuanjing shaking his head and saying, "No need!"
"Brother Pei." Jiang Bin was stunned and continued.
Pei Xuanjing's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "I said, no need!"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Bin coldly, and the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a bit.
Jiang Bin was stared at by Pei Xuanjing's gaze, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The hairs all over his body stood up, and there was sweat on his forehead, but he did not dare to say any more words.
He had a hunch that if he continued to talk, Pei Xuanjing would kill him without hesitation.
Although he didn't know why Pei Xuanjing turned against him and ignored their old friendship, Jiang Bin chose to shut up at the right time. His instinct for many years told him that keeping silent at this time was the best result.
Everyone's eyes changed again, and many officials who had originally mocked Jiang Bin also changed their expressions at this moment.
As the saying goes, the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn. Perhaps they and Jiang Bin are opponents and enemies. They look down on or envy this lucky person and think that he is the emperor's lackey.
But from a certain level, they are the same kind of people, all officials of the Ming Dynasty court, and it is undeniable that Jiang Bin's status is still above most of them.
Now seeing that the powerful Jiang Bin was so frightened by Pei Xuanjing that he dared not even speak out to refute, they felt a sense of sadness and could not help but feel a sense of common hatred against the enemy. Naturally, the look they looked at Pei Xuanjing was different.
Because at this moment, the insult Jiang Bin suffered made them feel the same way, as if they were also insulted.
And the saddest thing was that they could do nothing.
