I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

"Can you be less courageous? They even stole the treasures of the Great Xia court! At that time, there were two grandmasters guarding them, but he stole things under the eyes of the two grandmasters, very arrogant!"

"If our colorful pearl is stolen, the imperial court will lose all face!"

"Your Majesty has urgently tried to find a solution!"

"I heard that His Majesty has handed over this matter to Lord Fuyin!"

……

Everyone talked about it and paid close attention to it.

However, Lin Beifan, the person involved, was very indifferent.

No additional troops were sent to patrol and search, no other violent organizations were contacted, and no arrangements were made.

Bring the colorful pearls directly on your body and show off in the market.

Because according to his thinking, if he couldn't keep the colorful pearl, it would be useless for others to come.

But this scene is different in the eyes of others.

Catcher Guo looked anxiously at the six gates, and came to the door and said, "Master Lin, Bandit Commander Ye Laixiang is coming tomorrow night, why didn't you make any preparations?"

Lin Beifan smiled and said, "Master Guo, don't worry! Ye Laixiang has a rule, he steals whenever he says, and he won't come before the time, now it's very safe!"

"This officer also knows, but you should make some preparations and dispatch troops to calmly deal with Ye Laixiang! Otherwise, it will be too late by the time he makes a move!" Catcher Guo persuaded.

"Don't worry, Master Guo, I already have a plan in mind!" Lin Beifan said confidently.

"Since that's the case, then I won't talk too much. If you have anything to say, just say hello, and I will fully cooperate!"

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Guo!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Guo Butou left in a hurry.

Lin Beifan looked at the figure of the other party leaving, and smiled: "It's pretty good at pretending!"

Before you know it, another day passes.

This day is the seventh day of the lunar new year, the day when Ye Laixiang makes a move.

Even if Lin Beifan was unprepared, the whole city became tense, and everyone paid close attention to this night.

Find out whether the imperial court kept the colorful pearl or was it stolen by Ye Laixiang!

The imperial court and Ye Laixiang, who will win and who will lose!

In other words, Lin Beifan and Ye Laixiang, who will win in the end!predict.

Chapter 246 A beautiful woman, how can I be a thief?

In the midst of much anticipation, night finally fell.

Lin Beifan, who had attracted everyone's attention, did not return to the Lin Mansion, but went directly to the Sky Prison and asked to live in the last cell in the Sky Prison.

The matter quickly spread throughout the court, and all the officials were shocked and gave a thumbs up.

"Master Fu Yin's move is really high!"

"That day's prison was a place where heinous criminals were held. The guards were so strict that needles couldn't get in!"

"Especially the last floor of the Heavenly Prison, which is made of several layers of fine iron. The cell is solid. Unless the strength is as strong as the Grandmaster, other people will not be able to get out after entering it. It is the most dangerous and safest place in Dawu!"

"The bandit master Ye Laixiang wants to steal the colorful pearl from the sky prison. It's as difficult as climbing to the sky. If you don't pay attention, you will be trapped inside!"

"Master Lin stays inside for one night, so he can rest easy!"

……

The empress in the palace also knew the news, she shook her head and said with a smile: "Aiqing's plan is indeed good! But, why bother? As long as you show your strength, Ye Laixiang will be hard to fly!"

At this time, on the last floor of the dungeon, a group of jailers were quickly tidying up the cells.

Cleaned up all the messy things, spread quilts and pillows, and set up a stove of coals to keep Lin Beifan warm.

Seeing that the cell was clean, Lin Beifan waved his hand: "Okay, you can go out! No one is allowed to come in without the order of the officer, and the cell is not allowed to be opened, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!" The jailers retreated.

When no one was around, Lin Beifan sat cross-legged on the bed with a small table on which were placed fine wine, peanuts and so on.

Then, while eating peanuts and drinking wine, he read a book very leisurely.

Even if he goes to jail, he will enjoy it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky prison was very quiet.

Occasionally, there was the crackling sound of burning charcoal, and the warm red light of the charcoal fire warmed the cell.

Just then, a group of people appeared outside the cell.

Standing in the middle is a woman wearing a dragon robe, very majestic.

The jailers were shocked when they saw it, and quickly kowtowed.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The empress said very solemnly: "There is no need to be polite, just get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded.

"I heard that Lin Aiqing imprisoned herself in the sky prison in order to protect the country's most important treasure, the seven-colored pearl, with good intentions! But I couldn't bear it, so I came to see him specially, let's open the cell!" said the empress.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" No one dared to agree.

Then, the cell was opened, and the empress led the crowd in.

Overcoming one obstacle after another, he came to the deepest dungeon and met Lin Beifan.

Seeing the Empress coming, Lin Beifan quickly jumped off the bed, clasped his hands and said loudly, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

The empress smiled and said: "Ai Qing is free of courtesy, there is no need to be so polite between you and me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan raised his head and said in confusion, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I heard that Aiqing imprisoned herself in an icy prison in order to protect the country's most important treasure!" The empress glanced at the surrounding environment, her face full of distress: "Aiqing, I have wronged you!"

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister, no hard work!" Lin Beifan said righteously.

The empress waved her hand: "Open the prison door, I want to have a detailed talk with Lin Aiqing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the jailer replied.

"Wait, don't open the cell yet!" Lin Beifan shouted.

"Aiqing, why?" The empress was puzzled.

"I heard that Ye Laixiang is good at disguising, and can imitate anyone so vividly that it is impossible to distinguish between men and women!" Lin Beifan said vigilantly: "Tonight is the time for him to commit crimes, Your Majesty, your trip is strange! So, I would like to ask you a few questions to check whether it is true or false, I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

The empress nodded with a smile: "I am so relieved that Aiqing is so vigilant! If you have any questions, please ask!"

"Thank you for your understanding! Your Majesty, what is the birthday of the third emperor of Dawu?"

The empress said without hesitation: "The 24th year of the Great Martial Calendar × month × day..."

"May I ask your majesty again, what achievements did the fourth emperor of Dawu, Emperor Wuying, make during his tenure?"

The empress immediately spoke again: "During the reign of ancestor Wuying, he once made..."

……

Next, Lin Beifan asked a few more questions that only the royal family knew about.

There are two very tricky questions that many people don't know, but the empress can tell them right away.

After asking, Lin Beifan bowed: "Just now I offended you a lot, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The empress smiled: "Ai Qing, I don't blame you, those who don't know are innocent!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, why don't you open the cell soon?" Lin Beifan called.

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

Then, the door of the cell was opened, and the Empress walked in gracefully. Seeing Lin Beifan eating peanuts while burning the stove and warming the wine, she immediately smiled: "Ai Qing, you really enjoy it!"

Lin Beifan smiled: "After all, it's not really jail time!"

"It's true!" The empress waved her hand: "You all go back, I want to have a secret talk with Aiqing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone retreated.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if there is anything you want to discuss secretly with this minister?" Lin Beifan asked.

"Ai Qing, what I want to talk to you is..." The empress waved her hand, and a puff of green smoke spilled from her sleeve. After smelling it, Lin Beifan fell down in a daze.

The empress immediately searched Lin Beifan's body, found the colorful pearl from him, and said happily, "Haha! It's so easy!"

This voice was not the voice of the Empress, but the voice of a strange man.

Obviously, he was disguised by Ye Laixiang to steal the colorful pearl.

When you're done, the "Empress" just ignored Lin Beifan who was lying on the ground, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

However, at this moment, a giant steel door fell down from the corridor.

The "Empress" yelled inwardly that it was not good, and performed extremely light kung fu, trying to escape before the iron gate fell.

However, it was a step too late after all.

"boom"

The iron gate fell, blocking the way.

Then, the door of the dungeon behind him was also locked with a click.

Looking back, Lin Beifan, who was already in a coma, seemed very conscious at this time. He was the one who locked the door of the sky prison.

As a result, the "Empress" was trapped in the aisle.

Can't go out, can't retreat!

With the sound of pattering footsteps from outside, the jailers rushed in.

Lin Beifan stood on the other side and said with a smile: "Ye Laixiang, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Where are you going to escape this time?"

The "Empress" was shocked: "You fell for my rosemary, why are you so sober?"

Lin Beifan smiled mysteriously: "Because I have already prepared for it!"

"Huh! You are a bit of a dog official, I have underestimated you!" the "Empress" snorted, stretched out her hand, the yellow robe fell off her body, and her face changed. It turned out to be a strange man 0... ....

With black hair, straight features, fair complexion, wearing white clothes, even the shoes are white, spotless, looks outstanding and handsome.

Holding a folding fan in the cold weather, it is suspected of being aggressive.

"Ah! Pirate Commander Ye Laixiang!" Everyone was shocked.

"That's right! My son is Ye Laixiang!" The strange man said proudly.

Lin Beifan looked at the handsome appearance of the other party, and said regretfully: "You are a beautiful woman, how can you be a thief?"

Ye Laixiang stood proudly, and was about to say something powerful.

Lin Beifan said again: "With your good looks, if you sell as a tortoise, you still worry that you won't make any money. Why do you want to be a thief?"

Ye Laixiang trembled: "Shut up! As an official of the imperial court, how can you humiliate me with such obscene words?"

Lin Beifan said sharply: "You're still pretending to be noble! A thief is a thief, why should you be polite to the head of the thief? Mr. Gui also abides by the law and pays taxes according to the law, which is much more noble than you!"

Ye Laixiang's face was very ugly. Seeing Lin Beifan's complacent expression, she slapped her fan and said, "Hmph! It seems that you are very complacent, do you think this will trap me?"

Lin Beifan made a gesture of invitation: "You can give it a try!"

Ye Laixiang is a fourth-rank innate master, and all the innate qi condensed in him turned into sword qi and slashed at the door

The Iron Gate made a bang sound, but only a little trace was left, and it was not destroyed.

Lin Beifan shook his head and smiled and said, "It's useless! This giant steel gate is prepared for people like you. It is made of fine steel and is very strong and heavy! Even if you are born with true energy, you can't break it! Even if it breaks, it doesn't matter, outside There are still several floors of doors, see how many floors you can break!"

Ye Laixiang's complexion became even uglier.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the colorful pearl in your hand is fake!" Lin Beifan said again.

Ye Laixiang was shocked: "How could it be fake?"
