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

But this did not prevent him from making profits for himself through this organization while serving Emperor Yuan Jing.

As for how to make a profit, it is nothing more than a power-for-sex or money-for-sex transaction.

The color here does not only refer to women.

With so many nobles in Kyoto, there are bound to be some with unique sexual interests and hobbies.

Over the years, through this human trafficking organization, Pingyuan Bo has amassed countless fortunes.

At this moment, a panicked cry suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Master, something bad has happened!"

Pingyuan Bo frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered so early in the morning? How disgraceful! Is that rebellious son up to something again?"

Apart from his son, Pingyuan Bo really couldn't think of anything bad that could happen to him.

The man hurriedly said, "No, no, sir, the night watchman is here."

After hearing this, Pingyuan Bo's expression suddenly became more serious, but he was not too flustered.

After all, although the reputation of the Night Watchman's Office was terrifying, he was still a distinguished earl.

It's not like the night watchman can just do whatever he wants.

Almost all officials above the fourth rank in the imperial court had the courage to face the night watchman directly.

Of course, the premise is that the person opposite is not Wei Yuan.

"You're here, why are you so anxious? Invite them to the inner hall. I want to ask them why they're disturbing my quiet time so early in the morning."

Pingyuan Bo said calmly.

As the words fell, a voice came from outside.

"No need, I'm already here."

Pingyuan Bo looked up and saw Yang Yan and a group of night watchmen rushing in.

At the same time, there was a young boy beside him, wearing the Confucian robe of Yunlu Academy.

He didn't pay much attention to it at the moment.

"So it's Yang Jinluo who's here. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you."

Pingyuan Bo immediately said with a smile.

Yang Yan's face was serious at the moment, and he said coldly: "It's better not to welcome him. Bring him up."

After he finished speaking, several Tongluo men behind him immediately came forward, carrying two people who had been tortured beyond recognition.

It was the leader of the Axe Gang and the man in black who came to the Axe Gang this morning.

When he saw the man in black, the smile on Pingyuanbo's face finally froze.

"Yesterday, I, the night watchman, busted a human trafficking organization at the yamen. I think Earl Pingyuan must know this person. According to his confession, you are the boss behind this trafficking organization. So, Yang Mou is here to ask Earl Pingyuan to come back to the yamen with me to cooperate with the investigation."

Pingyuan Bo never expected that the night watchman would come to the yamen for this matter.

To be honest, he finally felt a little panicked.

But even so, he soon regained his composure.

Then he said slowly, "Yang Jinluo, you're going too far. You're trying to slander me based on the confession of a thief you caught somewhere. If I don't cooperate, do you dare to take me away by force?"

Yang Yan said, "Whether it's slander or not, I think you, Lord Pingyuan, must know it clearly. I dared to come here today, so I must have more than just this little evidence..."

The man in black, acting as the middleman between Pingyuan Bo and the Axe Gang, knew a lot.

Not only do I have the account books for every transaction with the Tiger Gang,

Afterwards, the Earl of Pingyuan ordered him to send the abducted women with good looks to the various wealthy families in the capital.

Every transaction is recorded clearly.

It is definitely not the case that Pingyuan Bo can get away with it by pretending to be confused.

In addition, the man also explained that every time they abducted a child, after inspecting the goods, they would immediately send the qualified ones to the Pingyuan Marquis's residence, and they would only allow them to enter and not leave.

Therefore, there must be a lot of evidence of guilt left in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

With the night watchman's skills, a simple search would reveal all this evidence.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated Pingyuanbo's confidence.

Pingyuan Bo said in a very stern voice, "Humph, ridiculous! You say there's evidence? I won't cooperate. What can you do to me? Not to mention you, even if Wei Yuan came in person today, I would still hold this attitude. If you have the guts, have him report me as well. If His Majesty issues an order, I will cooperate with you."

Pingyuan Bo was not afraid at all.

All these things he did were for Emperor Yuan Jing.

So no matter what, Emperor Yuan Jing would not hand him over.

As for face-to-face confrontation, he was even more fearless.

The imperial court had a clear stipulation that tactics such as looking at the qi and questioning the mind were not to be used against officials of the fourth rank and above.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't admit it, no one can do anything to him.

At this moment, Yang Yan frowned, turned around and said to Lu Xiao helplessly, "What do you want to do now? If we can't bring him back today, all the evidence will probably be gone within a day."

He had already imagined this scenario before.

He originally planned to return to the government office and report this to Wei Yuan.

Then let Wei Yuan take the evidence to the palace and report to His Majesty.

As long as we can obtain His Majesty's decree, the Earl of Pingyuan will never be able to escape.

But Lu Xiao insisted on coming directly to see Pingyuan Bo.

Wei Yuan had said before that he must fully cooperate with Lu Xiao in this case.

So even though he knew clearly that coming directly to Pingyuanbo would most likely be futile, he still came.

Therefore, he had no hope of taking Pingyuan Bo away smoothly.

At this time, Lu Xiao, who had been silent all this time, finally stood up.

Chapter 124: The brush strokes startled the wind and rain, and the paintings made ghosts and gods weep!

Seeing Lu Xiao suddenly stand up, Ping Yuanbo's first reaction was naturally panic.

Of course he didn't know Lu Xiao.

He was afraid it was just the clothes on Lu Xiao's body.

"What do you want to do, Yang Yan? Don't forget, you can't use the Inquiry Technique on me!"

Pingyuan Bo shouted in panic.

Lu Xiao said disdainfully, "Searching for the truth? Wishful thinking."

Then he turned around and said to Yang Yan.

"I know that using formal procedures to deal with someone like this is absolutely impossible, but I don't know how big a commotion they'll cause next. You must be prepared at all times."

At this moment, Yang Yan still didn't understand what Lu Xiao meant, so he just spoke subconsciously.

"Don't kill him. He's an earl after all. If you kill him directly, not even the Duke of Wei can save you."

Lu Xiao nodded: "I understand. I just want him to suffer a fate worse than death."

As he spoke, he immediately activated the spiritual energy within his body.

The next moment, his mind was connected with the surrounding world.

From the moment he entered the Pingyuan Marquis's residence, Lu Xiao sensed a powerful and intense aura of resentment.

It's just that there is a formation set up by a Taoist master in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

That's why these grievances were not vented.

No need to ask, this formation must have been created by Emperor Yuan Jing.

He has practiced Taoism for many years and has reached the second level of the Taoist Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Setting up a formation that could suppress resentment was a piece of cake for him.

What Lu Xiao wanted to do now was to break this formation and completely detonate the resentment buried in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

The greatest source of confidence for the Earl of Pingyuan was Emperor Jing of Yuan.

This confidence comes from the imperial power in the hands of Emperor Yuan Jing.

There are also many who can resist the supreme imperial power.

One of them is called: public resentment!

At the beginning of the Dafeng Dynasty, the previous emperor was incompetent, officials were corrupt, the wealthy exploited the common people, and war broke out across the Central Plains, with rebels separatist forces.

The imperial court at that time was engaged in a tug-of-war with rebel forces in various regions for more than a decade, and the people living at the bottom of society were suffering greatly.

At that time, there was a second-rank scholar named Qian Zhong in Yunlu Academy.

During my three years of travel abroad, I witnessed firsthand the dire situation of the people.

Then, filled with rage and the resentment of the people, he brought them to the capital of the Great Zhou, and with his own flesh and blood, he shattered the remaining destiny of the Great Zhou.

After that, Dafeng was established, wars were quelled, and peace and prosperity were achieved throughout the country.

This is the power of public grievance.

Once the resentment was suppressed in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, it would burst out.

The people of the entire capital will be affected by this resentment.

If the imperial court did not punish Pingyuan Bo, it would inevitably lead to widespread public resentment.

Emperor Yuan Jing has been actively destroying the fate of Dafeng over the years.

But his corruption was planned.

This process cannot be too fast nor too slow.

There must be a relative balance point.

So no matter what, he definitely didn't want to see such public discontent appear in the capital.

After all, on the surface he still wanted to be a wise ruler.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

As the mind gradually becomes one with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Lu Xiao felt more and more clearly the tragic past hidden within the suppressed resentment of the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion.

They are aggrieved, they are crying, they are complaining, they are hating.

A line of tears flowed down my cheek unconsciously.

Lu Xiao slowly raised his arm and then spoke softly.

"It's okay, I'm here to seek justice for you."

As the voice sounded, a pen appeared in his hand.

But this time it's a red pen.

The pen body and nib are both red.

Bright red.

It was red as if blood had been poured out.

Next, the red color pierced through the void, and pictures began to appear in the sky.

Those were faces that had been ravaged beyond recognition.

These are the faces of all those who died in the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion before today.

However, only half of those faces were human-like, while the other half were extremely terrifying ghost-like.

This strange phenomenon hovered in the sky above the Pingyuan Marquis's residence, and everyone within a radius of ten miles could see it clearly.

"What is that? It's so scary!"

"Ghost! Is that a ghost?"
