Although most of the time, he acted according to the wishes of the old emperor and played a role in restraining the prince, but he knew very well that after arousing the anger of the people, he would definitely be abandoned without hesitation, and the day the prince ascended the throne
, when his head fell to the ground. This was also an important reason why he decided to favor Chen Dang. Even eunuchs like Xu Xuan, who had been with the emperor all his life, turned to Chen Dang. What reason did he have to hesitate anymore? But now he still has
It's far from the time for a showdown. Anyway, let's settle this matter first.
"Who did the job? Why lynching?" Shi Lan roared with a livid face. All the officials of the Military Procuratorate fell silent for a moment. The two hundred households who had just interrogated Liu Junzhi came crawling from behind Wang Dingbian.
At Shi Lan's feet, his head was pounding, and he couldn't help but beg: "This subordinate deserves to die, this subordinate deserves to die..."
"Reply!" Shi Lan looked down at the two of them.
One of the hundred households replied with a trembling voice: "The little people caught up with this Tianxingyuan student who was about to enter the city at the south gate of the outer city. Because he was good at qinggong and kept running very fast, we decided that there was something wrong with him, so we wanted to first
We have to wait for him to subdue him, but this kid, no no, Master Liu is very skilled and it took us a lot of effort. After subduing him, we asked him his identity, but he refused to tell us, so we brought him here first according to Mr. Wang's wishes.
coming."
"Fuck you!" Liu Junzhi yelled hoarsely: "You started to attack as soon as you came up. I ask you if you know who I am? But if you clamor, even the emperor will not be able to escape today!"
"Sir, he, he doesn't speak except for cursing, and we also press..."
With two "bang, bang" sounds, a member of the Baihu family was kicked out by Shi Lan, who was trying to defend himself. He hit the wall three feet away almost at the same time, collapsed, and passed out.
"Master Liu, please listen to my explanation..."
Shi Lan was interrupted by an angry Liu Yan mid-sentence, "Shi Lan, Shi Si Zheng, what a great skill, what a majesty! Are you trying to scare the monkeys by killing the chicken? I don't have the power to restrain the chicken. You even use just one finger."
You can stab me to death without needing such a big battle!"
"Master Liu, it's all the fault of the official. The case was urgent and the manpower handling the case was complicated, which led to this big mistake. Look, why don't you take the young master back to treat his injuries first? The official will come to apologize tomorrow, and it's up to you to do whatever you want.
!”
"Jinyiwei, Wu Chasi, have you ever made any mistakes? I think Quanzi must have committed a heinous crime. I would like to ask you to show evidence so that he can understand that I am not strict in educating my children. I cannot absolve myself of my guilt. Master Shi will arrange it for the time being."
A room of A, please transfer it to the prison after dawn, so that I can accompany a few acquaintances. If Mr. Shi makes new achievements, from now on, not to mention the Military Inspectorate, the Criminal Department, the Imperial Guard, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Royal Forest Army will all belong to you.
Moderate..."
"Master Liu said something serious. It was indeed a misunderstanding. There is no evidence of innocence." Shi Lan lowered his head and replied.
"Quan Zi is the current candidate of the Tianxing Yuan. If he were wearing the uniform of the Military Inspection Yuan, would he also be beaten so severely?"
"Lord Liu, there are still two prosecutors in this court who are still in jail." Duan Xianjue took the opportunity to interject.
"Master Shi, are you sure there is no evidence of guilt? So you are forcing a confession from your son? Isn't it too disrespectful of the ancestral system of this dynasty?" The selection of officials through the imperial examination was the foundation of this dynasty, and Liu Yan was unreasonable and unforgiving.
"Let him go!" Shi Lan gritted his teeth and ordered, and then said to Liu Yan: "The official is not doing things well, and I have no way to control you. I will definitely go to the court tomorrow to take the blame!" The four words "I have no way to control you" were deliberately prolonged.
, Liu Yan will not give up without any explanation today.
Wang Ding, who was already covered in cold sweat, put down Liu Junzhi, silently walked between Liu Yan and Shi Lan, knelt down on his knees towards Liu Yan, and said sadly: "Master Liu, what happened today was all caused by this official.
I will apologize to you and Mr. Liu." After saying this, he slapped himself hard with the left palm and the right palm!
Liu Yan and Shi Lan didn't say anything, and other people in the courtyard didn't dare to persuade him. A dignified fourth-grade Qianhu fan kept slapping him down like this. After forty or fifty palms, the corners of his mouth were already dripping with blood, and every palm would arouse
There was a cloud of blood mist, and the sound of pop-pop-pop-pop seemed to hit everyone's heart. Even He Qizhou and Lin Chuan, who walked out of the prison one after another, couldn't bear to look anymore, let alone turned around in fear.
Go Mrs. Liu.
Liu Yan wanted to alienate Shi Lan and his subordinates, but seeing that his wife seemed unable to hold on any longer, he could not do too much. Now was not the time for a showdown, so he flicked his long sleeves, snorted, turned around and left, followed by a group of subordinates.
He hurriedly picked up his wife and young master and followed them. Duan Xianjue winked, and Qi Zhou and Lin Chuan followed him out without even daring to take a breath.
Shi Lan also followed them to see them off, giving orders as they walked: "Qianhu Wang Dingbian is derelict in his duties and is ignorant, and has been suspended pending investigation. Two Baihu have abused lynching and violated criminal laws. They will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow for punishment according to law!"
Liu Yan ignored him and left straight away. Shi Lan, who was sent to the gate of the Wucha Division, looked at the carriage going away with a sinister look, but what he was thinking in his heart was exactly what Liu Yan said just now. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would kill this guy with one finger.
This guy is powerless, but before that, he must torture his family, so that he can eliminate the hatred of being humiliated in public today!
After confirming that Liu Yan and others were gone, Wang Dingbian stopped slapping him and spat out a large mouthful of blood. A man of his level could easily control his injuries. It looked miserable but was actually just a scratch.
It was just an external injury, not even the teeth were damaged at all.
Everyone in the Wuchang Division hurriedly helped him up, but Wang Dingbian only felt hatred in his heart at this time, hating everyone present just now: These colleagues who pretended to care about him usually seemed to be in awe of him, why didn't anyone intercede for him just now?
They are probably all gloating about their misfortune; two of their subordinates are as stupid as pigs, causing them to be humiliated in public; Liu Junzhi, there must be something wrong with this guy, let's wait and see; Liu Yan, is it a great official? I can afford to wait, sooner or later it will happen
One day will change; Shi Lan, hum, I will be the scapegoat this time. You, this running dog, will be cooked sooner or later, and I will definitely add more firewood when the time comes; Duan Xianjue, I will remember you.
, If you hadn't come forward, He Qizhou would have been crippled by my slap; and He Qizhou, you are the culprit, no matter whether you let the person go or not, you are dead anyway...
Shi Lan returned to the small courtyard in front of the cell at some point and coughed slightly. Everyone immediately knelt on one knee and waited for instructions.
"How many of our people are there in Tianxingyuan?" Shi Lan asked.
"Sir, two lights and one dark." An official from the Military Inspection Department replied.
"Give me the order. From now on, don't worry about anything else. Just keep an eye on He Qizhou! We have also arranged manpower outside the school to keep an eye on them all!" Shi Lan said.
After dismissing all his subordinates and returning to the dark official office, Shi Lan said to the depths of the room: "Have you seen everything?"
"Master Shi, why don't you send someone to search the Tianxingyuan? Your Majesty will be unhappy with today's result." A sinister voice came from the darkness. "Do I need you to teach me? Do you want me to teach you?
Get out of here tomorrow?" Shi Lan was not afraid of Chen Dang, who wanted to pursue his own goals.
"They should protect you, but that's right. Searching one Tianxingyuan alone would be too conspicuous. But even if we search all the four schools and the armament hall, we may not be able to find anything. They won't just sit back and wait for death." Followed.
Shi Lan lit the candle, and an old face with fair hair and no beard emerged from the shadows. The head of the imperial guard——Xu Xuan.
"Do you hope the Chen family will protect you?" Shi Lan asked calmly.
"Haha, of course I don't want to. In His Majesty's eyes, if he thinks that we have formed a party with those powerful ministers, then the road has come to an end." Xu Xuan answered honestly.
"I've already said that I only help within the scope of my ability. Don't expect me to serve as an arrow for them!" Shi Lan said.
"You don't have to worry. No one can touch you until His Majesty is released from prison. You still have a lot of time. Even if His Majesty is released from prison, if we can solidify this case, they will not be able to do anything to you. It's just that this
If you don’t stop something the first time, it will be difficult to find it again!”
"Didn't you already block two of them?" Shi Lan said.
"So what I promised will never change. But it is said that there are four in total. Even if they get it, they may not be able to use it, but one more thing is worse than one less thing, so they still have to try to stop it again." Xu Xuan said: " Also, it is necessary for you to know that He Qizhou is not a simple person, and Prince Tuyuhun Li Ruogu is also his friend."
"I will pay attention." Shi Lan replied.
When Duan Xianjue brought Lin Chuan and He Qizhou back to Tianxingyuan, it was already too late. Shi Lan had already sent someone to notify the Wucheng Military and Horse Department to open the door and let them go, so the three of them got out of the outer city smoothly. Lin Chuan told Duan Xianjue that he was indeed
No one was found crossing the wall. Duan Xianjue felt that Lin Chuan was not lying, so he let him go back to rest with confidence.
He Qizhou returned to the dark woodshed in the woods alone. Because Liu Junzhi and Jiang Shuo came often, he did not lock the door in the room. Some things he thought were more valuable were placed in the newly dug cellar in the corner, covered with
Firewood is generally not discovered by others.
Although He Qizhou stepped lightly, the sound of rustling footsteps could not be covered up when he stepped on the thick fallen leaves, which was particularly obvious in the silent night. The desolate chill made Qi Zhou feel no trace of sleepiness. Shi Lan's
His cruelty and cunning still frightened him to this day.
After leaving the outer city, a big stone hung in his heart. Since Shi Lan notified the Military and Horse Division in advance to open the door, he must have also sent someone to notify the Wucha Division resident of Tianxingyuan to keep an eye on him. Maybe someone has already
I have come to inspect these wooden houses. Will Ji Sheng and Zheng Yuan be discovered? I still underestimate Wu Chasi's ability. When he walked to the door, He Qizhou coughed twice and opened the wooden door anxiously.
"You're back? Why so late? Are you okay?" Ji Sheng's anxious and low voice came from the darkness.
"It's okay, why are you on the beam? I'm going to light the oil lamp, don't come down yet!" He Qizhou entered the room, closed the door, and whispered.
"A stick of incense was not available. Someone came here just now. Was it you who called us? We heard footsteps and hid on the beam first just in case." Ji Sheng asked in a low voice.
"He's from the Wucha Division. Have you been discovered?" He Qizhou lit the oil lamp and sat down with his back to the small wooden window, his heart suddenly filled with worry again.
