Walk alone in the abyss

The third day of the Prince's case.

At the gathering point of the Emperor's Right Hand Squad, seven people gathered again in the conference room of that hotel.

Obviously, the current trend of the case and the trend of public opinion made them all heave a sigh of relief, and their backs straightened up.

Yang Ming stood by the window, looking out through the gap of the window, several suspended police cars roared past.

Dixing was still wrapped in a tense atmosphere.

Since the task force focused on the nobles who had conflicts of interest with Prince Vinos, the nobles on the Emperor Star were jittery, while ordinary people and the families of civil servants were very happy to eat melons.

Once the scandal of Prince Vinos was exposed, it immediately caused a major earthquake in the aristocratic circle. The scandals that were exposed by many great nobles once again became news hotspots.

Although the House of Elders tried their best to suppress these news, these news still spread throughout the entire emperor star circle, and spread to the entire empire and the interstellar network at an extremely fast speed.

The driving force behind all this is sitting in this conference room.

Boom!

Yang Ming closed the window tightly, activated the shielding device, and walked back to the main seat.

"Everyone, you have worked hard these days."

"You are the hardest, you are the hardest."

Yang Ming smiled: "There is no need to use such polite words between us, we all have the same status, and we all work for His Majesty. How many of you are leaving Emperor Star soon?"

"Well," Revell frowned, "We should have all received our respective tasks. My task is to win the support of more nobles, and then enter the legislative seat of the Council of Elders, become the youngest elder of the empire, and become a political star. "

Atro smiled and said: "My third uncle has already arranged for me. He is very happy that I can be selected by His Majesty. In the next few years, I will raise my rank and take over the Imperial Military Intelligence Department step by step."

Several other people each opened their mouths to explain their tasks.

Someone is in charge of attacking the logistics system of the military headquarters, someone is in charge of the energy industry, someone is in charge of the military industry system, and that shou is in charge of the empire's state-owned transportation and mining industries.

Yang Ming took a few more glances at the last guy.

At this moment, he had already thought of how to let the Molly Mies Mining Group use this big ship to make a quick profit.

But he immediately dismissed the idea.

It is extremely unwise to expose one's hidden identity for a small profit.

The path he is taking now has nothing to do with the Luofeng·Dark Star system. It belongs to putting eggs in two baskets, and the retreat is extremely wide.

Revell couldn't help asking: "Mr. Phantom, what did His Majesty ask you to be responsible for?"

"I'm not responsible for the specific matters, and I will be stationed on the Emperor Star." Yang Ming smiled, "These nobles on the Emperor Star, with their eyes closed and using a lightsaber, can't accidentally injure a good person. Your Majesty wants to borrow my hand." To create fear and clean up the ranks of the imperial aristocracy, that's about it."

Several people suddenly showed envious eyes.

"Let's have a drink," Yang Ming said, "I told you to bring your own drinks, have you brought all of them?"

The other six team members nodded at the same time and took out the drinks they brought.

One asked, "Why is that?"

"Just to remind you," Yang Ming said in a deep voice, "We will only be comrades-in-arms in the future, but we must also keep a distance from each other and maintain a certain tacit understanding. Don't trust others easily, and don't shake your current position."

Revel said: "We all believe in you, Mr. Ghost."

"No, you'd better just trust yourself," Yang Ming poured himself a glass of top water, and leaned forward.

Six people came up with wine glasses, various liquids swayed gently, and there were crisp sounds in the meeting room.

Yang Ming said: "This glass of wine is our covenant, from now on we will all be grasshoppers on the same rope, watch and help each other, grow bigger and stronger, done!"

"Bigger and stronger!"

Five young men and a middle-aged man shouted at the same time, their eyes were full of hot light.

However, after the five of them left, Atero stayed alone and poured cold water on Yang Ming.

"Handon, we are friends," Atro whispered, "I know in my heart that I can get this opportunity, most likely because I know you well, so His Majesty saw me."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Since we are friends, there is no need to talk about it, and you can invite me to dinner more in the future."

"But I still have to remind you..."

Atro sighed:

"After the few of us leave Emperor Star, we will become His Majesty's tentacles in various systems.

"As long as we don't make big mistakes and always remember the principle that we only serve His Majesty, we can be promoted quickly, gain fame and status quickly, and become the target of various interest groups, just like the military department. Now there are seven or eight senior officers The general invited me to dinner and drink.

"But you are different, Hanton, you stayed here and became the knife in His Majesty's hand..."

"Are you trying to say that this knife may be discarded at any time?"

"Yes, Hunton, this is the fate that almost every character like you cannot escape, the difference is only far or near."

Yang Ming's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "But I can't refuse, His Majesty didn't give me other options."

"Do you worry about that?" Atro asked.

"How should I put it?" Yang Ming put his hands in his trouser pockets, "There is a rule in the empire that reformed people cannot gain political status."

"Yes, there is such a rule."

"Because of my influence among the people, the House of Elders and the military want to use me. What they value is this influence, and the highest they can give me is the honorary title of earl and the title of brigadier general.

"But now, His Majesty is using me instead, and what His Majesty values ​​is not that influence, but my strength... Do you know? Atro, I'm actually very happy."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "This is actually a recognition of myself, what His Majesty appreciates is my ability."

Atro asked puzzledly: "Then what do you want to get through this way?"

Yang Ming turned his head to look at Atero, whose eyes were flickering slightly.

Yang Ming said slowly: "Power, status, fame, wealth, resources, do you know, Atro, I have always had a dream, a dream I had before I accepted Professor Kigrove's transformation experiment."

"What?"

"Become the powerful grand duke of the empire, own his own territory and private fleet, and leave the name Hanton in the history books of the empire."

Yang Ming lightly patted the back of Atro's neck, and said slowly:

"For me now, this is the only way I can go, and His Majesty only asks me to deal with those fallen nobles, so why should I refuse?

"It's all scumbags.

"Killing them will be more helpful to the empire than killing bugs."

Atro hesitated to speak, then just nodded with a smile: "That's good, as long as you know what you want."

"Okay, we can't meet for too long, and now the elders' house must have started planning a counterattack."

"Take care."

Atro gave a military salute, turned and left the meeting room.

When the door of the conference room was closed, Yang Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked to the window.

After Atro walked out of the building, he took out a pocket-sized intercom device in his jacket pocket, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, have you heard everything?"

"Well, well done."

Snapped!

The pocket walkie-talkie started to burn itself, and Atro held it in his palm, enduring the slight burning pain, and walked towards the military vehicle hovering not far away.

Behind the window of the meeting room, Yang Ming looked down at Attero's back and shook his head slightly.

"Pediatrics."

...

"Brother! Have you read the news?"

In Luofeng Palace, Emilia rushed into Edwan's office in a hurry.

In the office, more than a dozen ministers looked over at the same time. After seeing Her Royal Highness, these male and female ministers all showed warm smiles.

Who wouldn't love this beautiful, generous, self-loving and well-educated Royal Spokesperson.

Emilia immediately stopped, bowed slightly to the ministers, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I didn't notice, everyone is still here for meetings after get off work."

"Okay," Edwan said with a smile, "this is the end of today's meeting. Everyone can get off work. Emilia is reminding me to pay you overtime."

The ministers laughed at the same time.

When the ministers left, Edwan stretched his waist, and he, who had been sitting upright all the time, collapsed instantly and sat slumped on the chair.

"What's the news? You're so happy, let me guess... Your lighthouse and spiritual mentor has made a big fuss again."

"Yes, yes! Hahaha!"

Emilia jumped to the edge of the desk and sat, her slender legs dangling under the skirt.

"Didn't you hand over the imperial intelligence team to me? According to the news they heard, there was a murder case that shocked the entire political situation of the empire. His Majesty's second brother was killed in his mansion. I was playing some interesting games with my male pet! Hehehe!"

"I really shouldn't have let you take control of this intelligence group so early," Edwan couldn't help but rubbed his brows, "You're not yet an adult, don't be poisoned by this information."

"Okay, but...you don't want to know who is in charge of this case?"

"Who? Ming?"

"It's him, the famous detective Hui Saka, the white ghost, the hero of the empire, responsible for investigating the murder of the prince!"

Emilia waved her little hand and shouted excitedly:

"Soon, he will kill all directions on the Emperor Star and become a real famous detective of the Empire! This is the real fame!"

Edwan frowned slightly, slumped in the chair and thought carefully, and murmured: "That's not right."

"What?"

"His appointment was personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor?"

"That's right," Emilia said, "The news that has been confirmed is that His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered it and gave him a lot of authority."

Edwan smiled: "This is not a murder case."

Emilia didn't know why.

"This should be a power struggle. What the public sees is the tragic death of a prince, but it actually contains a lot of meaning."

Edwan, the 'economic' emperor, took a refreshing drink that was already cold and took a sip.

He continued:

"Emilia, you have to learn to see the essence when looking at problems.

"Generally speaking, the princes and nobles of the empire can infiltrate and influence the elders' house, which in turn restricts the emperor. A prince died tragically in his manor, and the murderer has not been caught yet, which makes the empire, which has the attention of the whole people The hero is responsible for the investigation, which in itself can have a huge effect.

"I don't need to look at the files, and I don't need to know what happened before, but I can guess what will happen next.

"The murderer must not be one person, but a group of people. This group of people must include one or two of the legislative seats in the House of Elders, and their fate will be miserable.

"Then, this matter will form a deterrent force, and the emperor will be able to take the opportunity to untie the hand tied by the elders' house."

Emilia pinched her chin and thought carefully: "Then isn't he very dangerous?"

"No, it should be said, not for the time being."

Edwan sighed softly:

"Did you know? A word Ming once told me, I always took it as a joke, but I didn't expect him to really go this way."

"What?"

"He will become the Grand Duke of the Empire."

"Uh," Emilia puffed her lips, "The Duke of the Luofeng Empire can also be the Grand Duke of the Empire."

"Hahaha! When we only talk about the empire, we mean the Sherman Empire!"

Edwan said indifferently: "What I told you, don't talk nonsense, it's just my unfounded guess...Okay, go change your clothes, don't dress so conspicuously."

"Another imperial nobleman is here?"

"A few vampires from the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau have come to ask for benefits from us again," Edwan curled his lips slightly, "If it wasn't for the arrival of Princess Lorna, I really don't want you to show up."

"Don't worry, brother," Emilia said with a smile, "I disemboweled the nobles of the Mensa family back then, but left me with the reputation of being a violent princess. I will sit there with a long sword tonight. It can scare their hearts out."

Having said that, Emilia still gave her face a lot of freckles, and used special dressings to make her skin look dark yellow.

She really doesn't look down on any of the noble young masters of the empire.

For such a boring party, she might as well go back to her bedroom and lie down, looking at the ceiling if she has nothing to do.

...

The fifth day of the Prince's case.

"Hey, the recent patrol work is really exhausting."

Catherine complained softly, and took off the heavy exoskeleton armor on her body, revealing her perfect figure outlined by the tight combat suit.

Yang Ming hugged her slender waist beside him, and said with a smile, "Wash up, and guess what delicious food Chef Ben made for you tonight."

"Do you still have time to cook?"

Catherine complained dumbfoundingly:

"Isn't it all your fault? You haven't solved the case, you haven't been able to catch the murderer, and you just went up and said that someone in the elder's house has a big problem. As a result, us super reformers were sent to outer space to patrol!"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "It's none of my business, it's all His Majesty's will."

Catherine hit him twice 'viciously', before Yang Ming could make a move, she withdrew into the bathroom.

More than ten minutes later, after taking a shower, Catherine changed into the silk nightgown that Yang Ming had prepared for her, with her long hair hanging behind her back, watching the delicious food on the table and swallowing.

The light in the room is a little dim, almost all electronic instruments are turned off, and there are two layers of fixed shielding devices extending against the wall.

Everything is for confidentiality and safety.

"I'll start first! Thank you for your hospitality! You can't find this kind of dish outside!"

"Eat slowly, I won't compete with you," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Just a little food from home.

Yang Ming opened a bottle of top water, poured himself half a glass, and asked softly, "What's the reaction of the super-reformers?"

Catherine puffed her lips and said: "No response, everyone doesn't know what happened to the elders' house. It seems that there are indeed many problems, and the actions of those nobles make most of the super reformers look down on them. How many times did they die? This... is pretty good for the empire."

Yang Ming looked thoughtful.

Catherine asked, "When are you going to solve the case?"

"The murderer hasn't been found yet," Yang Ming smiled, "What Your Majesty means is to wait and see. There will be an internal election meeting in the Elder's House tomorrow, and I will attend it."

Catherine was even more confused.

Yang Ming said softly: "This internal election will produce three seats for the Legislative Council of the Council of Elders. If the people arranged by His Majesty can succeed in taking office, then the culprits are outsiders. If the people arranged by His Majesty fail to take office smoothly, it will be the Great Elders and the others. Arranged people come up, the murderer... is these three elders."

Catherine opened her mouth, her eyes were a little dull: "Is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Yang Ming smiled and said:

"The motive for committing the crime is that the prince insulted the bodies of the three elders for a long time. They held a grudge. Before the party started, they carefully planned and finally killed the prince."

"These are old men, how could it be...well," Catherine couldn't help raising her hand to her forehead, and then looked up at Yang Ming, "You have to be careful, don't fall into too deep."

Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders: "Don't worry, even if the emperor wants to use this case to move me now, he can't find any reason. Among the things I gave to the emperor, there is no biological information about me."

"Uh, why does the emperor still trust you so much?"

"Will he really check those biological information?" Yang Ming asked back.

Catherine blinked, thought carefully, and finally could only sigh slightly.

I always feel that she is crushed by her boyfriend not only physically and forcefully, but also her head.

"Don't worry about me, just help me watch the reaction of the super-reformer group," Yang Ming said with a smile, "If the old emperor calls me over now, then I might remind myself that as long as tomorrow is over, the case will be settled Now, the bond between me and the emperor has officially taken shape."

"I'd better eat mine. I can't help you at all."

"Come and have a drink!"

Yang Ming picked up the wine glass, with a smirk in his eyes.

Catherine had no idea how attractive she was when she was slightly drunk.

As soon as Catherine picked up the wine glass, the shielding device indicated that there was a message; just as Yang Ming turned off the shielding device, his communicator suddenly trembled twice, and a text message popped up on it, which came from the old emperor's personal maid.

[His Majesty summons, come to the palace quickly. 】

The two couldn't help looking at each other, and Catherine held Yang Ming's right hand nervously.
