Starscream showed a hint of astonishment, and Qian Guiting was even more surprised.
There was a young young minister from Dali Temple in Kyoto who was making waves in Kyoto. Naturally, this matter had spread out of Kyoto a long time ago. As the largest family in Suzhou, he was well-informed. Of course Qian Guiting had also heard of this young official's name.
It’s just that he never expected that the young minister of Dali Temple who dared to confront the Ministry of Punishment would be such a handsome young man.
"Master Qin came to Jiangnan to patrol, and I also want to come to Jiangnan to do some small things, so we can go together." Although Chen Xi was facing someone from the No. 1 family in Suzhou, there was a look of contempt on his eyebrows: "Today Qin
Your Excellency, you are in a good mood and want to go out to taste Jiangnan delicacies, but you don’t want to encounter such a wanton thing."
Qian Guiting hurriedly raised his hands and said, "It turns out to be Qin Shaoqing. I'm sorry for my disrespect!"
“Er Master Qian, do you have an official status?” Qin Xiao asked with a smile. Humans and animals are harmless.
Qian Guiting said politely: "Thanks to the favor of the imperial court, I have been rewarded with the title of Dragon Ban School Lieutenant."
Chen Xi said to Qin Xiao from the side: "Master Qin, Qian Guiting is the son of Mr. Qian from Suzhou. There was a disaster in Youzhou many years ago. Several big families in the south of the Yangtze River donated a lot of money to share the worries of the court and the saint. The saint Longyan Dayue
, and rewarded some young masters of the Jiangnan family with the official position of Longjin School Lieutenant. If I remember correctly, the saint conferred the title of Longjin School Lieutenant to eight people back then. They were all sixth-grade military officers, but they were in name only, but they could also be regarded as officials of the imperial court. "
"Exactly." Ziyi Jian was well-known. Although he was the son of the first family in Jiangsu Province, Qian Guiting did not dare to be rude in front of Chen Xi.
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Qian Xiaowei is a sixth-rank military officer, and I am a fourth-rank Shaoqing, Master Shaojian. Am I higher than Master Qian?"
Chen Xi showed a smile and said: "Of course the young minister of Dali Temple is not comparable to the captain of the Longjin School."
“According to the legal system of the imperial court, when a sixth-rank captain meets a fourth-rank young minister, does he only need to raise his hands and salute?” Qin Xiao asked seriously.
Qian Guiting's expression suddenly changed.
The hierarchy in the Tang Dynasty was very strict. In the officialdom, people with higher rank would be crushed to death. When they saw an official with a higher rank than themselves, they would naturally kneel down and salute. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful. Such disrespectful crimes could be serious or trivial, and they must be investigated.
If you get up, you will even be thrown into prison.
Qian Guiting really didn't expect that Qin Xiao would be so serious.
As the son of the No. 1 family in Suzhou, he has seen as many officials as a carp crossing the river. There are countless officials with higher grades than him. However, because of his status as the son of the Jiangnan family, it is naturally impossible for him to really kneel down and salute those officials, and it is impossible for the officials to really bow down and salute.
He and Qian Guiting were more sincere, and even many officials, who were of much higher rank than Qian Guiting, treated him with utmost respect.
The Young Supervisor understood what Qin Xiao meant and cooperated very well. He smiled and said: "We are a country of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty. The etiquette laws are very strict. When a lower official sees a superior official, he will naturally kneel down and salute. Otherwise, the old gentlemen from the Ministry of Rites will know that an official violated the etiquette rules.
, I will definitely pay tribute to the saint."
Qin Xiao looked like he suddenly understood, nodded and said with a smile: "I see, thank you, Mr. Young Supervisor." Then he turned to look at Qian Guiting, without saying anything, just smiling.
Qian Guiting's eyes twitched, but he still stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Qian Guiting, Captain of the Longjin Academy, kowtow to Mr. Shaoqing!"
Follow the rules and kneel by yourself

After bowing, Qin Xiao naturally wanted to get up, but Qin Xiao had no intention of letting him get up. He just said to the two Qian family guards who were pressing Tu Kuohai to the ground: "Let go of your hands and untie him."
Hold the rope in your hand, then help him up and find a chair for him to sit down."
Everyone else looked at each other, and those two people also looked at confusion. They looked at Qian Guiting, but Qian Guiting was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, and he didn't know what Qian Guiting meant.
Qin Xiao's face suddenly darkened and he snorted softly. The two of them thought that even the second master was kneeling at the feet of this young official. How could their small nursing home offend this adult? They could only follow Qin Xiao's instructions to untie Tu Kuohai.
The rope in his hand helped him get up and sit down on the chair.
Tu Kuohai's body was still filled with poison and he was still limp and unable to exert his strength. He leaned on the chair and looked at Linghu Wanqiong with a worried look on his face.
"You...!" Qin Xiao raised his finger and pointed at Starscream, smiling: "Starscream, right? You broke my chair just now. I have no place to sit now. Spider, bring me a chair.
."
There was a cold look in Starscream's eyes, but a smile appeared on his face. Without saying a word, he actually brought Qin Xiao a chair. Qin Xiao sat down and asked before Starscream could walk away.
Said: "Spider, do you have an official body?"
Starscream shook his head and said with a smile: "Just a commoner."
“That’s Colonel Qian’s men.” Qin Xiao pointed to the ground: “You, a commoner, don’t show respect when you see me?”
“Sir, do you want me to kneel down?”
"Nonsense, how can you call it a salute if you don't kneel down?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "The ground is a little dirty, and your clothes may be dirty after kneeling down, but it doesn't matter. I will change into pink clothes when I go back. I think pink is better than red.
Be nice."
The corners of Starscream's mouth twitched, and he caught a glimpse of Chen Xi's eyes like daggers, staring at him.
That sharp look in his eyes made Starscream's heart tremble. This young young minister from Dali Temple was not a good person, and the one from the Purple Clothes Supervisor was even more unfathomable.
“Grassmen pay their respects to you, sir!” Starscream could bend and stretch, and knelt down beside Qian Guiting.
Qin Xiao then smiled with satisfaction and said: "I have roughly understood what happened today. When I came to Suzhou, I happened to be on patrol, and happened to come across the Taihu fisherman murder case. This case was handled by me.
I’ve asked about it.”
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple has the power to review all cases in the Tang Dynasty. As an official of Dali Temple, Qin Xiao is certainly qualified to intervene in this murder case.
He had no intention of letting the two of them get up, and sat back on the chair, letting Qian Guiting and Starscream kneel at his feet.
Linghu Wanqiong's acupuncture points were tapped and she couldn't move for a long time. At this time, she couldn't help but said to Qin Xiao: "Master Qin, ask him to unlock the acupoints for me. I can't move."
"Just stand there for a while." Qin Xiao didn't look at Linghu Wanqiong. Although this little girl looked pretty and lovely, she was too willful and had a wild aura in her bones. It would be a good idea to punish her to stand for a while: "First of all,
Shut your mouth and stop talking."
Linghu Wanqiong glared at Qin Xiao fiercely, her cheeks bulging in anger, but if Qin Xiao hadn't taken action just now, her eyes would have been blinded by red spiders, so she was still very grateful to Qin Xiao.
“Let’s not talk about the case itself.” Qin Xiao said slowly: “Qian Xiaowei, why did you set up a trap here?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Trap, capture Tu Kuohai?"
Qian Guiting felt like tearing Qin Xiao apart at this moment, but on his face he could only say respectfully: "In response to your words, Tu Kuohai and his entourage of nine people sneaked into the city with the intention of assassinating...!"
"Don't say such words to me." Qin Xiao said lightly: "I heard your conversation clearly from beginning to end. Qiao Shenggong beat someone to death in Chunfeng Tower. Let's not talk about it. What do you think?
Tu Kuohai wants to assassinate you? The little girl just took action because you not only insulted but also deceived her uncle. It is understandable for young people to be impulsive. You brought a group of people here. There is strength in numbers. They are here.
How stupid would it be to assassinate you under such circumstances?"
Qian Guiting suppressed his anger and could only say: "Qiao Shenggong killed someone, so naturally he will arrest all his accomplices for interrogation."
"When Qiao Shenggong committed the murder, Tu Kuohai was not at the scene of the crime. Moreover, Qiao Shenggong committed the murder because he was jealous of others in Chunfeng Tower. He got into a fight and accidentally killed someone. It was a spur-of-the-moment move, and there was definitely no prior plan to kill someone." Qin Xiao
He said: "Of course Tu Kuohai couldn't have known about it beforehand, so Tu Kuohai was definitely not involved in that murder case. Why do you have to arrest him? Let's be reasonable in our actions." His face suddenly darkened, and he said slowly: "Even if
Tu Kuohai committed a crime, and the government ordered his arrest. Although you are Captain Longjin, you are not qualified to arrest the suspect. Your group of people are not servants in the yamen, and they are not qualified to tie people up. Captain Qian,
Could it be that there is no one in the Hangzhou government office and we need you to do such a thing?"
Qian Guiting knew that today the bridge of his nose touched the ashes of the pot and he was in trouble. Who would have expected that an official from Kyoto would just appear here, and he was also an official from Dali Temple in charge of punishment.
"Every yamen in Kyoto performs its own duties. If you interfere in the affairs of other yamen without authorization, it is trespassing." Qin Xiao said lightly: "The crime of trespassing is not a small one. Dali Temple is in charge of punishment. I am now asking
You, you came here to arrest people, was it the order of the Hangzhou Prefecture? If so, then I will go to the Hangzhou Magistrate and question him. If not, then you arrested people without authorization. According to Tang law, you can be convicted of kidnapping.
So, Captain Qian, can you tell me whether what happened today was your own decision, or did the Hangzhou prefect give you an order?"
Some things, if not investigated, are trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. However, if they are put on the line, many trivial matters that are not worth mentioning may turn into fatal events.
"The crime of humble position." Qian Guiting lowered his head and said: "Because the one who was killed was the nurse from the humble position, he was angry and impulsively, so he wanted to arrest Qiao Shenggong's accomplices and send them to the prefect.
yamen."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "It would be great if Lieutenant Qian knew that he was wrong. Moreover, it is a bit too much for you to have one Taihu pirate at a time. Tu Kuohai and his gang are just fishermen in Taihu Lake. The saint had issued a decree to allow them to fish in Taihu Lake.
To make a living, and their taxes were specially reduced. The leader of the Taihu fishermen, Linghu Xuan, was even praised by today's saints. Such a group of people, you call them Taihu bandits, and you also say they are water bandits. According to your opinion
, did the saint praise a Taihu water bandit back then?"
Tu Kuohai saw this in his eyes. Although his face was still solemn, his brows were filled with gratitude. Even Linghu Wanqiong's eyes became softer when he looked at Qin Xiao.
