"You!" Zhou Duohai gritted his teeth and looked at Yun Ning, his eyes full of murderous intent for a moment, but he immediately controlled it.
He said with a sneer, "The head of the Yun family is very good at joking. Isn't it a bit far to talk about the assassination and the people behind it? You are here to stop the riot, not just to slander others at will."
After all, Zhou Duohai has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he cannot be hopelessly stupid. What he said not only bypassed the assassination matter, but also labeled Yun Ning as not doing his job properly.
Bai Qianjin ordered in a cold voice, "Come here, take Zhou Duohai to me. All matters concerning the prefect of Jinling Prefecture will be temporarily handled by me."
"Yes, I obey my orders!"
The person who took action was not King Qin's subordinate A Feng, but Feng Shu, a court official.
This means that Bai Qianjin did this not as the King of Qin, but on behalf of the imperial court.
Zhou Duohai struggled and shouted, "Why! What right do you have to arrest me? Even if I am not in the capital, I am still a fourth-rank official. You arrest me without any reason. You are ignoring the justice!"
Feng Shu snorted coldly and said, "You did not fulfill your duties while you were in your position. There was a riot in the east of the city, but you were enjoying life in the mansion and did not care about the life and death of the people, causing countless injuries to the people.
This is enough to take off your black gauze hat, but you are still screaming here, if you scream again, I will punch your teeth out!"
Feng Shu's simple and crude method was still very useful. Zhou Duohai immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to speak anymore, but his eyes were still very unconvinced.
"Wait a minute." A soft voice came from outside, "The prince's move may not be appropriate. Although the prefect did not go to the east of the city, he did give an order for people to go to the east of the city to stop the riot. It's just the people below.
It was poor work and failed to stop it in time."
These words were obviously an attempt to excuse Zhou Duohai.
Yun Ning looked back and saw that the person who came in was short and thin and looked very unhealthy, but his eyes were unusually energetic.
For some reason, when Yun Ning saw him for the first time, what she thought of was the poisonous snake hiding in the grass. It is usually hidden, but as long as it stares at you, it will give you a fatal blow.
The person who came in was Hua Wuxie.
When Zhou Duohai saw Hua Wuxie, he felt his wings stiffen again and his breathing gradually calmed down.
Hua Wuxie gave Zhou Duohai a look, and then bowed respectfully to Bai Qianjin and Yun Ning, "Hua Wuxie, I have met the prince and the head of the Yun family."
"Get up." Bai Qianjin said in a deep voice.
The moment Hua Wuxie raised her head, she met Yun Ning's dark eyes. Those eyes were like a bottomless black hole, which would make anyone who fell in doomed.
"You said Zhou Duohai had given the order, but the people below didn't follow it, right?" Yun Ning looked at Hua Wuxie with a half-smile.
Hua Wuxie's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly, "That's it. Someone, bring him up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man was escorted in from outside. His eyes were a little dull and he was tall. He looked like a practicing practitioner.
Hua Wuxie continued, "Your Majesty, the head of the Yun family, this person is the commander-in-chief of Mr. Zhou, named Xie Liang. He received the order from Mr. Zhou, but he has not led the government officials to the east of the city. He is really derelict in his duties.
This person should be this person."
"Are you Xie Liang?" Bai Qianjin glanced at that person, Xie Liang's eyes were dull and he nodded mechanically.
