More than a dozen Tianxingyuan professors who were originally approaching Duan Xianjue stopped one after another. Shi Lan's vicious reputation was still very intimidating. Duan Xianjue said to a second-level professor: "Take all the students back.
I will go with them to the Military Procuratorate to have a look. You should report what happened here to the Criminal Department, and then send someone to see if Liu Junzhi has arrived home." Then he turned back to Shi Lan and said: "Shi Sikyong, Mr. Shi, I will accompany you.
They will go together, but I have something to say first. This is a case that is under your jurisdiction, and I will not interfere. If it is within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or if there is no evidence, please hand it over immediately!"
Duan Xianjue knew that the private use of official grain by Jiangling Mansion had caused a stir in the court. Shi Lan was not the kind of person who made trouble unreasonably. Qi Zhou and Lin Chuan from Jiangling Mansion might actually be involved. In order to prevent them from being beaten into submission,
He was going to go to the Wucha Yuan in person.
Shi Lan smiled contemptuously and said: "I still want to watch here. Wei Baihu and the Weifu Division, you take them to the Wucha Division first. The three little guys are temporarily locked in the D-shaped room. Don't torture them yet.
, Forget it, the guy in the middle doesn’t need to go. Professor Duan is the same year as me, let him wait in the living room for a while, don’t neglect, I will come back when the matter is over." After saying that, he left everyone behind and jumped into the city. Duan
Although Xianjue was pedantic, he was indeed a man of his word, so Shi Lan left with peace of mind.
The person Shi Lan pointed at was the student who was originally guarding under the wall. When he heard that he was going to Wuchasi, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs were trembling. However, happiness came suddenly, and his eyes filled with tears, as if he was about to
He cried. Duan Xianjue waved to him and said, "Why don't you follow the team?"
He Qizhou had a good memory and recognized Wei Baihu as the Jin Yiwei who promoted people in the Ministry of Punishments that day. Wei Tongshan smiled and said to Duan Xianjue: "Mr. Duan, let's go then."
"Lead the way!" Duan Xianjue replied angrily.
Wang Dingbian was well-known for his combat prowess in the Wucha Division, but he did not get any advantage from Duan Xianjue. Shi Lan also called him his classmate. Wei Tong did not dare to provoke him, so he summoned Wei Jinxian, and the two of them followed him.
Walking along the wall all the way to the west gate, the Wuchasi Yamen is not far from the Punishment Department Yamen and is also in the inner city. It will take at least half an hour to walk. Wei Tong did not dare to walk too fast at first, fearing that Duan Xian would feel unhappy and worried about the two two
The student couldn't keep up, but gradually accelerated, and found that the other party had been steadily following him about ten feet behind him, so he started running quickly with confidence.
The three people following behind were talking in low voices while running. Lin Chuan was the most surprised. He was called to the Wucha Division for no reason, so he asked Qi Zhou: "Master, what's going on? Is that person Wei Jinxian?"
?Why did he come to the capital?"
He Qizhou said: "Don't worry, it's okay. I don't know what's going on. It's probably that guy who is talking behind my back."
Duan Xianjue had a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "You two brats, tell me what's going on? You didn't commit any crimes in Jiangling, right?"
He Qizhou said unjustly: "What's the matter? We were just called to the prefect's Yamen to be witnesses once, and the prefect's secretary was there at the time. Is it just because we came from Jiangling Prefecture? What happened recently? Wanyuan
Neither the president nor Professor Wang are coming to the college?" He Qizhou didn't really want to hide Duan Xianjue's knowledge, he just felt that no one would be guilty if he didn't know, and if something went wrong in the future, the old guy wouldn't be implicated.
Duan Xianjue said: "If you really didn't release the person without permission, don't worry. There has been a bit of unrest recently, and there has been a turmoil between the DPRK and China."
"Please tell me," He Qizhou begged as he quickened his pace to keep up.
"The Inspectorate of South Zhili filed a complaint against Governor Jin of the province and Magistrate Zhang of Jiangling for embezzling and perverting the law in the name of disaster relief, misappropriating official grain, secretly embezzling relief money, and extorting gentry and merchants; the military also reported that a batch of new grain was stolen and replaced by others.
The stale, moldy and bad rice has shaken the morale of the army, and the target is also directed at Jin and Zhang. The case has extensive implications, and hundreds of people have been arrested. The grain transport navy, Jinling Sect, and Jiangling Quanzhen Sect are all involved.
I heard that several of the main criminals have been imprisoned in the imperial prison, and most of the remaining prisoners are in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After hearing the case, the emperor was furious and injured himself. He decided to retreat for a month to recover and handed it over to the prince of the prison. Governor Jin is the prince's grand master.
In order to avoid suspicion, His Highness the Crown Prince asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jin Yiwei, Criminal Department, and Dali Temple to conduct a joint trial, making the case more and more complicated." Duan Xianjue said.
He and Lin were shocked after hearing this. They thought that Zhang Luyao had been arrested and sent to Beijing, and Ji Sheng's life must have been difficult. I wonder if Zhang Qingrou knew about it.
"Ah? Magistrate Zhang was also arrested? He is a good official who saved the people from fire and water!" Lin Chuan said anxiously.
"Do you know the prefect of Jiangling?" Duan Xianjue asked.
Lin Chuan pleaded: "Master Duan, he has an only daughter, Zhang Qingrou. The prefect must have been wronged. You must save her. If he is really a corrupt official, Zhang Qingrou will not be so poor!"
Duan Xianjue said: "It turns out he is Miss Qingrou's father. I don't think he is that kind of evil person. Alas, but he is considered one of the two chief criminals and is imprisoned in the imperial prison. I am just a little eight-year-old."
"Professor Pin, where can I find any means to save people!" The prefect is considered a big official in the local area. Looking at Zhang Qingrou's carefree and happy-go-lucky character, she is definitely not the kind of child who comes from a well-fed family. Lin Chuan said this,
Duan Xianjue believed it eight or nine times.
He Qizhou asked: "Mr. Duan, please tell me first who is that scary pockmarked old man from Wuchasi just now? Why do the people in Jinyiwei call him Sir?"
Duan Xianjue said: "His name is Shi Lan, he is the same as me, but he is a little older. We are in the same year at the Military Academy, and because we were both from poor backgrounds, we have been friends for a while. But that guy is really hardworking, talented, and also
He liked to join the camp, and later became a Jinyiwei, and rose through the ranks. He relied on cunning and strength to slowly climb to the position of Sikyong of the Wucha Department. As for why thousands of Jinyiwei families call him "Sir", it's because the two families are one family, and there are three Jinyiwei.
The leader is feared by the world like a tiger, and he is known as the three evil dogs behind his back. I broke up with him more than ten years ago, so don’t expect much from me."
He Qizhou asked: "Is Xu Xuan one of these three dogs?"
Duan Xianjue said: "Well, of course this old castrated dog is. He is the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, Shi, in charge of the imperial guards. He has many masters under his command, and kills people as easily as a piece of grass. Shi Lan is also the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, Shi Zheng, and concurrently serves as the First Secretary of the Military Inspection Department.
He has a strong position and has a network of spies all over the world. There are people from the Military Inspection Division in our four schools, both covertly and covertly. They control the disputes internally and manage the spy war between the two countries externally. Shi Lan can even compete with the commanding officer Shi Lan. However, except for some secret agencies of the Intelligence Department,
On the surface, there are not many members in the Military Police Division, but he has the right to call upon the Jin Yiwei’s strength, so most of the people in the Military Police Division are often members of the Jin Yiwei."
"Who is the commander Shi?" He Qizhou couldn't help but ask.
"I'm ashamed to say that I have never seen that person. I only know that his name is Zou Jinlin. I heard that he is mysterious and unpredictable. It can be said that he is extremely sinister. Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple.
He can conduct investigations overtly and covertly in departments such as the Procuratorate, so all officials are afraid of him, and there are countless corrupt officials who have lost their lives to honest officials," Duan Xianjue said.
He Qizhou said: "According to what you said, Lin Chuan and I are neither officials nor people in the world, and we have never fought with anyone. Why should the Military Inspection Bureau arrest us?"
Duan Xianjue said: "This is the truth. Don't worry, I will ask people from the Ministry of Punishment to help you get out. You are lucky to have made a friend like Liu Junzhi. As long as there is no evidence, if his father can say a word, even if
Zou Jinlin will also sell you face."
He Qizhou sneered and said: "Professor Duan, what are you talking about? Do you think we are the kind of criminals?"
Duan Xianjue rolled his eyes and said leisurely: "Lin Chuan doesn't look like him, but you do!"
"Professor Duan, you are hurting someone!" He Qizhou said innocently.
"You boy, you look innocent and lively, but you are a cunning person on the inside. But what if you can do chivalrous things and commit crimes? It's a pity that my family is so burdened that I can't live happily in the world!"
"Just blow it!" He Qizhou muttered.
"What?" Duan Xianjue didn't hear clearly.
"I say, sir, you are very righteous!" He Qizhou said.
"By the way, I don't care what you have done in Jiangling Mansion. Don't underestimate Shi Lan. He can climb to this position only because of his own ability. You must be careful what you say. Also, I found that Shi Lan
He didn't believe the people in the Ministry of Punishment and kept them outside the city. It seemed that he had determined that the suspect had entered the city. The person they wanted to arrest must be someone the Ministry of Punishment wanted to protect or someone the Ministry of Punishment wanted. Today the Ministry of Punishment is coming.
If people ask you not to fight, they probably want people to enter the city."
He Qizhou realized that the old man was actually very smart and asked: "Sir, why does the Ministry of Punishment want to protect the murderer? Doesn't this make sense?"
"Hehe, who committed the murder did you see with your own eyes? What happened in Jiangling Mansion was just a dispute between Chen Dang and the prince. The Ministry of Punishment belongs to the prince, and the people the Ministry of Punishment wants to protect are the people the prince wants to protect. This time Shi Lan took action personally.
, it seems that the fuss is really big. But I don’t want to get involved in these things. I can just take care of myself. Remember, don’t eat anything when you are in prison. Think carefully about everything you can say. Wait for Shi
When the old man Lan comes back, he will be fine if he closes it for one night at most." Duan Xianjue reminded.
There was still half an hour before midnight. On top of the south gate of the outer city, Shi Lan looked to the south and inside the city. Except for some sporadic lights in the Arms Hall and the Fourth School, the rest of the place was already dark, but there were still torches on the streets from time to time.
The light passed quickly, and Wang Dingbian behind him kept kneeling on one knee, with his head lowered.
"I just reported to Xicheng and found nothing. I asked them all to go back." Shi Lan was probably speaking to Wang Dingbian who was kneeling behind him. There was no trace of emotion in his voice.
"It's because of your humble duty that you acted recklessly. Please punish me, sir!" Wang Ding said.
"Have you caught the Tianxing Academy student who jumped into the wall? Is there anything suspicious?" Shi Lan continued to ask.
"I caught him. He was caught just outside this door. According to your order, he has been sent to the Wu Cha Si. But..."
