Chapter 52
: People not to be messed with (please read)
The Zhenfu Division... As a Kyoto official, Chen Nian has a heartfelt fear for this institution that is still young but has made everyone in the court change their opinions.
He knew that countless prominent officials were imprisoned in the imperial prison under his control.
Those brocade clothes are like ghosts in the civil and military nightmares of the entire dynasty, and their leader Du Yuanchun has been exaggerated into a ferocious image like a demon by some people.
But at this moment, this group of Jinyi came to find him.
Chen Nian, who was still very "tough" just now, softened instantly and put on a humble smile: "Yu Baihu, what kind of wind brings you here? Sit down, come, let's watch tea."
"No need." Yu Qing said indifferently: "President Chen, do you know why we are here?"
Chen Nian pretended to be confused: "I don't know, I don't know."
Yu Qing snorted coldly, holding a trace of true energy in his mouth, and Chen Nian was shaken by the shock: "You dare to arrest my people, but you dare not admit it? Chen Zhixian, I really want to know who gave you the courage!"
Chen Nian was really confused this time.
Catching the other person?
When had I ever done this? Do I dare to arrest people from Zhenfusi? What kind of joke are you talking about... Chen Nian's heart sank and he said cautiously:
"Sir, this official has never done this before. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
At this moment, he even suspected that the other party was deliberately framing him to do tasks for him.
The Zhenfu Division has arrest quotas every month!
"What is the misunderstanding? You are the one who arrested this person. I saw it with my own eyes."
Suddenly, Fan Er jumped out from the brocade clothes, filled with righteous indignation, pointing at the few officials who had not evacuated in time:
"It's them! They arrested Qi Ping at the inn!"
What?
Qi Ping? Chen Nian was stunned and didn't remember who it was, but soon, his expression changed drastically: "Is it that foreigner?!"
He couldn't believe it, how could that outsider be related to the Zhenfu Division?
No, it is related.
He recalled that the report from his subordinates had mentioned the inn case and that a Zhenfu school lieutenant had come forward. Could it be that he was his colleague?
But, if that's the case, why doesn't the other party reveal his identity?
At this moment, countless questions filled his mind, and the few servants were extremely shaken and turned pale.
The leader instinctively said: "Impossible, that Qi Ping just entered Kyoto today, how could he..."
He confirmed this at the inn.
In the queue of people in brocade clothes, Pei Shaoqing said: "Qi Ping came to Kyoto today to take part in the examination of the Zhenfu Division. In the evening, he has already joined the post. Everyone in the Yamen knows about this."
After a pause, he added: "The reason why I was there at that time was to greet him."
Well, putting it this way is undoubtedly more in line with common sense.
Sure enough, after saying these words, all the government officials were speechless. They only felt the cold air rising, and the inspector even showed a look of surprise... Not surprisingly, he thought this was normal.
But Chen Nian's heart sank completely. He felt unbelievable and at the same time, in his heart, he scolded the steward of the Xu Mansion for eighteen generations.
You asked me to arrest someone without investigating clearly. What should I do now?
Yu Qing shouted: "Chen Nian, what do you have to say!"
Chen Nian's mind was spinning, he slapped his thigh and said angrily:
"Misunderstanding! Absolutely a misunderstanding!
It was the person from the Xu Mansion who came to sue the young man. I ignored the investigation for a while and believed the other party. Then according to the law, I ordered the Yamen servant to go and invite someone to cooperate with the investigation. My lord, this matter... I don't know about it.
"
Yu Qing's expression was cold and he was about to speak.
Suddenly, the commotion outside the Yamen courtyard resumed.
Everyone looked together, and the next moment, a large group of guards with swords rushed in and lined up on both sides. Immediately, two female figures came quickly, one behind the other.
The leader was wearing a light pink palace dress, gorgeous and pretty, and the owner of the dress was petite and exquisite.
Princess Anping, with pink skin and delicate face, entered the scene forcefully. Her lively eyes scanned the people in the court, she raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her chin:
"Hey, there are quite a lot of people."
"Princess!" Chen Nian was shocked, wondering why this person was here.
Yu Qing's eyes moved slightly and he caught a glimpse of the inconspicuous country girl following Anping. He guessed it and was slightly surprised.
But Pei Shaoqing and others in Jinyi were equally confused.
How come the dignified princess visited Shangyuan County Yamen late at night?
"Are you the county magistrate?"
Princess Anping didn't recognize Chen Nian, but she recognized official robes, so she said condescendingly:
"You are so brave. You even dare to arrest guests of my Prince's Mansion. I would like to hear what case Qi Ping committed?"
Qi Ping? She also came to see Qi Ping?
At this moment, everyone in Jinyi looked surprised, and then they thought about the rumors that Qi Ping was recommended by the eldest princess, and Princess Anping was very close to the eldest princess, so it was normal for her to know Qi Ping.
It's just that... it's one thing to know, but it's another thing to come here late at night for him.
"How did Qi Ping win so much favor from these two noble men?" You Jinyi sighed in a low voice.
I can't figure it out.
It's over... There are people from the Zhenfu Department, and people from the Prince's Mansion... Chen Nian felt like the sky was falling. If he had been there a moment ago, he would have suspected that the Zhenfu Department was just making use of the topic.
There are even some doubts about what Pei Shaoqing said.
But when the princess arrived and raised an army to investigate, she still didn't understand that the "outsider" whom she had never met before had a big background.
Cold sweat broke out, and my back was instantly wet.
Chen Nian shouted that there was a misunderstanding and used the same rhetoric just now.
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, his expression changed suddenly, and he said urgently: "Princess, Lord Yu, please sit here for a moment, and I will fetch Captain Qi immediately."
Both parties saw this and did not stop it.
Chen Nian suppressed his fear and ran out of the courtyard, using all his strength to run towards the dungeon.
He did not forget the "entertainment" arranged for Qi Ping.
If the other party is beaten by those barbarians, good or bad, or even... Chen Nian's whole body is cold, he doesn't dare to think about it anymore, he just hopes that the prison boss will take action more slowly.
Not long after, he arrived at the prison. Before he could get far, he shouted loudly.
In the cell, the officers on duty heard the sound and walked out. They were all stunned when they saw the county magistrate coming in a hurry.
"That young man... where is the prisoner who was just sent here?! How is he doing?" Chen Nian asked.
The prison head was startled, thinking that the county magistrate was here to give instructions, so he took credit and said: "Don't worry, sir. I have followed your instructions and locked the prisoner with the barbarian. I think he is having fun at the moment."
It's over...Chen Nian's vision went dark, and he felt like he was falling into the abyss.
"My lord? My lord?" The cell leader was confused and called softly.
The next second, Chen Zhixian, who had a gentle appearance, suddenly had veins popping up on his forehead. I didn't know where he came from with huge force, he rounded his arm and slapped it away:
"Asshole! You killed me!"
"Ah!" The cell leader screamed, blood spurted from his mouth, tears flowed out, and he fell to the ground, completely stunned.
"Don't take me there yet!" Chen Nian roared at the remaining people.
"yes!"
Everyone rushed into the dungeon corridor and arrived at the thick wooden door. This door is special and has its own sound insulation. Unless you get close, you can't hear the sound inside.
"Boom, bang, bang." The chains were torn apart, and just as the group opened the cell door, they heard screams and old roars:
"Everyone stop it!!"
He wanted to scold the barbarian so that he would stop being violent.
As for how to explain it later... I can only pray that the person is still alive.
But when a group of people came outside the cell and looked inside the fence, everyone froze on the spot, eyes wide open, in disbelief.
I saw that the cell was stained with blood.
Several big barbarian men were lying on the ground, their flesh and blood bruised. The man who stepped on the bodies of several people turned his wrists, raised his head, looked from the fence to Chen Nian, frowned and said:
Chapter completed!
