More than a dozen riders were charging forward. Someone pointed to an alley and said, "General Lang, someone saw Mao Yizhi guarding a carriage entering this alley."
Without saying a word, Zhou Xing turned his horse around and entered the alley. The alley was empty. He quickly reached the end and was about to leave the alley when a figure suddenly entered the alley. This person appeared unexpectedly and suddenly. Zhou
He was caught off guard and his mount had no time to stop. The horse was about to hit the man. The man seemed to have no time to dodge. He yelled and punched out.
This punch was powerful, the wind roared, and with a "bang" sound, it hit the horse's head. The horse neighed sadly, and his body was turned sideways by the punch. Zhou Xing was shocked and couldn't sit down.
, the whole person has fallen off the horse.
The horses behind him were unable to restrain him. They were just charging forward. As soon as Zhou Xing's horse fell down, the horse behind him had already rushed forward and stepped on the horse in front. He was tripped and fell on his back.
After Zhou Xing landed, he was wary of being stepped on by the horses behind him. He rolled hard and got close to the wall. If he had gone slower, he would have been stepped on by the horse's legs.
He avoided the horses behind him and stood up quickly, holding the knife in his hand. He turned around and saw several horses entangled together. He was furious and looked at the man blocking the alley. He saw that the man was dressed in cloth and was in his early thirties.
At this age, he shouted sternly: "Are you looking for death?" He rushed forward and reached out to grab the man's collar. But before his fingers touched the hem of his clothes, the other person's move was like lightning, reaching out to grab Zhou Xing's wrist and raising it.
A kick hit Zhou Xing's lower abdomen. Zhou Xing suddenly felt that his internal organs seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and the pain was heartbreaking. When the man let go of his hand, Zhou Xing also covered his lower abdomen and sat down softly.
When the cavalrymen behind saw this, they drew their swords and came forward.
The alley was not narrow. Several people rushed forward. Before they could take action, they saw that the man had already raised an arm and showed a sign. Zhou Xing could see clearly and said in a voiceless voice: "You...
Are you from the Purple Clothes Prison?"
"Purple-clothed Prison Young Prisoner Chen Xi!" The man put away the sign and said calmly: "I have reason to believe that you want to assassinate me!"
When Zhou Xing uttered the words "Purple Clothes Prison", all the cavalrymen were shocked and retreated if they dared to step forward again.
These cavalrymen are all members of the Shence Army, so of course they know how powerful the Ziyi Prison is.
As a dark yamen directly under His Majesty the Emperor, Ziyi Jian has a good reputation and has always given people the impression of death and gloom. Unless they have no choice, no one is willing to deal with Ziyi Jian, let alone become an enemy of Ziyi Jian.
Who would have thought that today, when I went out to worship the Bodhisattva, I bumped into someone from the Ziyi Prison, and he was not an ordinary Ziyi prisoner, but a young prisoner from the Ziyi Prison.
Zhou Xing endured the pain in his abdomen, stood up and said, "Chen... Mr. Chen, please forgive us for being reckless and bumping into the young eunuch. We never meant to offend, we were just performing military duties, and in our haste, we couldn't avoid it."
Come on sir...!"
"You are performing military duties, and I am also performing official duties." Chen Xi looked coldly: "What are you trying to do by blocking my way?"
Zhou Xingyou couldn't express his pain. He thought that you were blocking our way, but now you have blocked our way. However, how dare he argue with the purple-robed young prisoner, so he could only apologize: "It's really a misunderstanding. I will apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
Chen Xi straightened his clothes and asked: "What military mission are you going to perform? You are rampaging on the street. If I hadn't taken action just now, I would have become a dead soul."
"We suspected that Mao Yizhi, the prefect of Hangzhou, was suspected of colluding with the rebel party, so we wanted to take him back for questioning." Zhou Xing said, "We heard that Mao Yizhi escaped from this alley, so we chased him."
Chen Xi frowned and said, "Except for you, I didn't see anyone else coming out."
Zhou Xing said helplessly: "Perhaps he walked too fast and the young supervisor didn't meet him."
"Perhaps you know that I am going to pass by here and plan a murder." Chen Xi said coldly: "Whose military order did you follow to arrest this person?"
Zhou Xing knew that Ziyi Prison was not someone to be trifled with. If Chen Shaojian bit him to death and tried to assassinate him, it would be really troublesome. At this time, he could only say: "According to the order of Marquis An Xing, take Mao Yizhi there."
Ask questions."
"Hou Anxing?" Chen Xi said: "After I finish the matter, I will naturally go to confirm it with the Marquis in person. But remember, this matter will not let go. We will discuss it in the future." Throwing a cold look,
Passed by everyone and walked along the alley.
Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at his mount. The horse was lying on the ground. Although it was not dead, it couldn't get up for a while. He was horrified in his heart and thought to himself that the martial arts of the young prisoner Ziyi were really amazing.
Fist actually beat his own divine horse like this.
"General Lang, do we still want to pursue him?" someone next to him asked.
Zhou Xing said angrily: "Of course I will chase him. Why are you still standing there? Go and take Mao Yizhi back to see the Marquis."
"But Mr. Chen blocked the road and delayed us for a long time. Which direction should we pursue now?" someone asked cautiously.
The roads in Hangzhou city are intertwined, and Mao Yizhi is very familiar with the terrain of the city. After a while, he naturally found a hidden road long ago.
"General Lang, this Shaojian Chen appears very strangely." Someone lowered his voice and said, "He seems to be waiting here specifically to stop us. Is he in the same group as Mao Yizhi?"
Someone immediately echoed: "That's right. General Lang, how could the people from the Purple Clothes Prison appear here inexplicably? Could it be...!" Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhou Xing looking at him with an extremely strange look.
I didn't dare to speak anymore, but soon I realized that Zhou Xing didn't seem to be looking at me. He couldn't help but look back and saw that Mr. Chen was standing at the entrance of the alley, like a ghost, looking straight at him.
This way.
For a while, no one dared to say a word.
Only when Chen Xi disappeared from the alley did Zhou Xing whisper: "Don't talk about the Purple Prisoners behind your back. They are just a group of ghosts. No matter what you say, it will eventually reach their ears." After thinking for a while, he finally said.
: "Divide into several teams and follow the roads to the Governor's Mansion to catch up and see if Mao Yizhi went to the Governor's Mansion."
Of course Mao Yizhi arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
Zhou Xing led his men to chase him from behind, and was almost overtaken. Fortunately, Chen Xi suddenly appeared and blocked the path of Zhou Xing and others. Mao Yizhi chose a remote road and drove non-stop until he finally arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
The governors Fan Yang and Zhao Biejia were waiting at the governor's house. They were relieved when they saw Mao Yizhi leading someone to bring the case files in.
"Zhao Biejia, you take the guards of the Governor's Mansion to guard the front and back doors. Just say that I am still ill and no one will come." Fan Yang ordered. Zhao Biejia didn't say much and immediately went down to make arrangements. Fan Yang asked Mao again.
Yi Zhi led others to carry the box to his study, opened the box, took out a few files and looked at them briefly, frowned and said: "Anxing Hou is really lawless. He convicted and arrested people on the basis of these trumped-up evidences.
This is simply unreasonable.”
Mao Yizhi said cautiously: "My lord, although Xianguan knows that those gentry were all wronged, the sword of the Shence Army is placed on Xianguan's neck. Xianguan... Xianguan really has no choice."
"It's not too late if you can look back as soon as possible." Fan Yang said softly: "I can understand your difficulties. If the princess wants to question you in the future, I will naturally speak for you."
Mao Yizhi said gratefully: "Thank you, sir." Then he asked: "Sir, are these files really useful?"
"It was useless at first, but it is useful now." Fan Yang said softly: "If no one cares about these case files, the court will turn a blind eye. But this time the princess sent Qin Xiao,
Xiao also gave Sha Changshi clear instructions to use the laws of the Tang Dynasty to deal with Anxing Hou. Under this situation, these files are an important magic weapon to reverse the current situation." His expression became serious and he said: "Anxing Hou
He must not have thought that the princess would be capable of this before, and he did not care about these files, but now he must know that Qin Shaoqing has arrived in Hangzhou, and in order to avoid unnecessary complications, he will definitely collect all these files from the prefect's Yamen."
Mao Yizhi was a little puzzled and said: "Sir, since An Xinghou knew that these case files would be in trouble, why did he ask his subordinates to keep these so-called evidence of crimes every time he arrested someone? Did he just keep them in his own hands?
Isn’t it better?”
"Master Mao, do you know that if you had not turned back in time, the end would have been disastrous." Fan Yang sneered: "There is no need for the princess to kill you, he will personally chop off your head when he is safe."
Mao Yi was startled.
"There are thousands of people imprisoned in the prison, and there are hundreds of rebellion cases involved." Fan Yang pointed to the files in the box: "These files are all evidence of conviction. They are unclear and unclear, but everyone
We all know that your prefect’s yamen is involved in every case. Although it is An Xinghou who wants to convict those people secretly, it is your prefect’s yamen who overtly convicts them." After a pause, he said: "A big case in Jiangnan, if the court
It’s fine that no one is involved, but if there are really people who are not afraid of the Xiahou family and insist on getting to the bottom of things, do you think they really can’t see the flaws in these cases?”
Mao Yizhi sighed: "I just want to inflict a crime, why bother."
"Of course An Xinghou will not leave any trouble for himself. After all, your prefect's office is in front of these cases in Hangzhou, but Anxinghou and Shence Army are also involved. If there are really unjust cases everywhere, no one can escape." Fan Yang
He slowly said: "If you are An Xinghou, how do you think he can avoid leaving any future troubles for himself?"
Mao Yizhi was a little confused and shook his head.
"Of course it's to eradicate the roots." Fan Yang sneered: "When he has killed almost all of them in Hangzhou, and those who deserve to be convicted have been convicted, and those who deserve to be killed have been killed, it is time to clean up the aftermath. These files are in your hands, he will let people go there
If all the fires are burned, then all the cases will become fatal cases, because all the criminal evidence will be destroyed in the hands of you, Magistrate Mao. At that time, no one can rectify these hundreds of unjust cases, and the files will be in the hands of you, Master Mao.
If you are destroyed, it will be easy for him to punish you."
When Mao Yizhi heard this, a chill ran down his back, and he was horrified.
