"Uh...Brother Yun, we are very particular about people after all. At least wait until he finishes speaking before knocking him unconscious." Tang Yuan said helplessly as he looked at the hook-nosed man who had passed out on the ground and no longer looked arrogant.
"What do you know?" Nie Yun finished taking care of the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals in a few flashes, and glanced sideways at Tang Yuan: "You don't know the dangers of the world. If he suddenly takes action while you are talking, do you think you can stop him?
Can you live there?"
"...Oh~ Brother Yun is more stable." Tang Yuan touched his chin, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then asked: "By the way, Brother Yun, how do you know so clearly about the dangers of these rivers and lakes?
"
Haha... Because I just met him. Nie Yun was thinking this in his heart, but naturally he didn't say that. Instead, he patted Tang Yuan's strong shoulder meaningfully and said: "Hey, fat man, your experience is still the same."
It’s too shallow, and you’ll be at a disadvantage when you enter society in the future!”
Seeing Tang Yuan nod his head in agreement, Nie Yun also nodded his head, pointed at the figures standing in front of him and said, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
"No, I've basically been in the university hall for the past six months. I went home directly after the holidays. How could I have any chance to offend anyone." Tang Yuan lamented, somewhat inexplicably.
Nie Yun shook his head, stepped forward and uncovered the man in Tsing Yi's face and said, "These guys obviously didn't kill you. Come over and take a look. Maybe you even know these guys."
Although he said this, Nie Yun actually didn't hold out much hope. After all, this group of people were probably just entrusted to do something. The reason why the hook-nosed man was not masked was probably because he was
Because of the leader.
"Let me take a look." Tang Yuan was also a little curious, how could he, a poor and humble man, be blocked by such a group of people.
You must know that when a martial artist in the Rebirth Realm enters the army, he is at least a centurion. Perhaps for some money and training resources, he will bend his body to act as a bodyguard for the powerful, but the relationship is more of a guest-visitor relationship, rather than a master-slave relationship.
The cost of sending such a team of troops to intercept and kill at the Emperor's feet was absolutely ridiculously high.
Such a high price even made Tang Yuan feel a little flattered. With an inexplicable curiosity, he slowly moved his face towards it.
"Um?!"
With just one glance, Tang Yuan's expression suddenly changed. His big eyes first showed disbelief, then showed a hint of surprise, and finally turned into a hint of fear.
The successive changes in expressions were naturally noticed by Nie Yun. Nie Yun had a trace of doubt in his eyes and asked: "What's wrong?"
Even if he really is a mortal enemy, he won't look like this.
However, Tang Yuan did not respond to him at this time. He frowned tightly, then stood up suddenly and quickly took off the other masks one by one.
thump.
Tang Yuan suddenly sat down on the solid bluestone tiles, looking at the familiar faces with a somewhat disappointed look, and said in a low voice: "Except for the hook-nosed man, I know all of these people."
"Know?" Nie Yun's tone rose slightly, and his eyes became more confused: "This is a good thing. If you know who is attacking you, you can at least take some targeted precautions or even fight back in the future."
"Haha, counterattack?" Tang Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes slowly focused, and then he shook his head helplessly: "These people are my brother's guards."
"Huh? Your eldest brother?"
Before Nie Yun could ask further questions, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from around the corner of the street.
"Don't even move! Put down your weapons!"
I saw government officials wearing uniforms with blue background and red edges and carrying knives quickly poured into the streets and surrounded Nie Yun and others.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Nie Yun slowly sheathed the bright moon in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Brother Yamen, we are good people."
"Huh, tell me you
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Are they good citizens?" The leader of the government officials glanced at the figures lying in various places on the street corner, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then they fell down on their own?"
"No, we are really good people." Tang Yuan said aggrievedly: "These people attacked us first, we just passively fought back..."
"Huh?" The leading Yamen servant narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the area for a week without trace. A trace of undetectable surprise flashed in his eyes. His tone was slightly softer and he continued: "Whether you are passively counterattacking or not, you must cooperate with me.
Go back and investigate!"
The mask next to the fallen figure already explained something. In Kyoto, more than ten people wearing masks appeared on the street. If he couldn't figure out the situation, the victim would have been a government servant for so long.
However, the process that needs to be followed still needs to be followed.
"Eh... ok." Nie Yun and Tang Yuan could only understand this and nodded helplessly.
But the leading officer followed up and said: "To be honest, I don't want to doubt you, but your strength may be higher than I thought, so for safety reasons, we must bring this to you."
The leading officer took out a pair of silver bracelets and said helplessly: "I hope you can understand. After all, I have never seen you two in Beijing. I must be responsible for the brothers behind me."
One of the two was not from Kyoto at all, and the other was a commoner who stayed at home all day long. It was quite normal for him, the leading government official, to be a little suspicious because he didn't know each other.
But Nie Yun is a little embarrassed. He has heard the name of this trapped dragon bracelet. Once it is locked in the mortal world, all the energy will disappear and you can't control yourself. This is very important to any martial arts cultivator.
This is something that is hard to accept.
"this..."
Just when Nie Yun looked confused and was in a dilemma, a clear voice came out.
"Boss, I can vouch for them."
Nie Yun's eyes lit up and he immediately waved: "Brother Chen Ran!"
"Do you know him?" The leading officer frowned slightly, turned around and said softly: "This boy has extraordinary martial arts skills. If he didn't wear this trapped dragon bracelet and suddenly burst into flames, you wouldn't be able to bear this responsibility."
Chen Ran first smiled and nodded to Nie Yun, and then said something to the leading officer.
"Are you sure?" The leading officer raised his thick eyebrows and glanced at the figure in white next to him, as if you were kidding me.
"How can this be false?" Chen Ran smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier!" The leading officer waved his hand and silently put away the silver bracelet in his hand: "Tie up all the people lying on the ground and take them away. As for these two little brothers, is there anyone?
Naturally, you don’t need this trapped dragon bracelet to guarantee it, so just come with us.”
...
As soon as they entered the Kyoto government office, Nie Yun and Tang Yuan were separated.
The leading officer personally took Nie Yun to a spacious, even somewhat gorgeous interrogation room, and then diligently poured him a cup of tea while Nie Yun looked at him with a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother, you have something to say, and I feel uncomfortable doing this." Nie Yun said a little speechlessly.
I don't know why, but since Chen Ran gave him a guarantee, his treatment seemed to have improved from a "suspect" to that of a relative of the emperor.
Could it be that Brother Chen Ran is so proud... Nie Yun couldn't help but think to himself.
"Haha, it should be true." The leading yamen servant just waved his hand: "My name is Zhao Bin. If you don't mind, just call me by my name."
"Brother Zhao Bin..." Under the eaves, Nie Yun would not call other people's names so harshly: "Do you all have such... such... attitudes towards suspects?"
"Haha, that's natural
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It depends on the person." Zhao Bin did not hide it and smiled.
"What's wrong with me?" Nie Yun was a little confused.
I learned from Chen Ran that the eldest princess seemed to want to hide her identity in front of this young man. Naturally, he, a small government official, would not be idle to expose it, so he changed the subject lightly and continued: "Tell me about what just happened.
The situation."
"okay."
...
On the other side, in the dark and narrow interrogation room, a broad figure was sitting on a chair with armrests on both sides. I don't know whether it was because the chair was too small or because the figure was too broad. A lump of fat was visible.
It came out through the gap between the chairs, making it look extremely crowded.
"Brother, I was wronged!" Tang Yuan wailed.
Bang!
The yamen servant slammed the table in front of him and shouted: "Stop trying to get close to me! Tell me, who are those people in Tsing Yi!"
...
Another ornately decorated interrogation room.
Zhao Bin took a piece of information handed over by a yamen servant and nodded after a moment of silence.
"There is basically no big difference between what you said and what your friend named Tang Yuan said."
"Because that's the truth." Nie Yun smiled calmly, his body upright and naturally not afraid of slanting shadows.
"Then congratulations, you can go." Zhao Bin stood up calmly, opened the door of the interrogation room and made an invitation gesture with a smile.
"Uh... can we leave now?" Nie Yun was slightly startled. After all, this was a big case involving more than a dozen people fighting with knives on the streets of Kyoto.
"Of course." Zhao Bin suddenly laughed, with a hint of righteousness: "Our government will not engage in the theory of victim guilt."
What a good official! Nie Yun couldn't help but be touched... Whether it was Brother Chen Ran who was loyal to his duties and willing to help others, or the just and awe-inspiring Brother Zhao Bin in front of him, as well as some enthusiastic Kyoto citizens who were kind enough to report to the official...
In the future, if someone tries to trick someone from Kyoto, Nie Yun will be the first to refuse!
...
In an alley somewhere in the north of the city, a certain "enthusiastic citizen" looked at the shattered windows of his house and spat on the ground.
"It's really unlucky. If you want to kill people, you can't find a place with less people. You have to go to my door. Doesn't this force me to report to the government? If the people from the government don't come, my door will be shattered."
...
"Just let them go like this?" A yamen officer walked up behind Zhao Bin at some point and asked with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Isn't the situation very obvious?" Zhao Bin looked at Nie Yun's retreating figure and continued without looking back: "These people in Tsing Yi wanted to intercept and kill him for unknown reasons, and then they were killed. Now we only need to
Just pry open the mouths of these people."
"But..." The yamen servant seemed to want to say something else.
Zhao Bin raised his right hand slightly and interrupted him: "How long do you think it took us from the time they started to conflict to the time we got there?"
"Including the time for reporting, it will definitely not exceed seven minutes!" The yamen officer thought for a moment and made the final decision.
"Yes, it will definitely not take more than seven minutes." Zhao Bin seemed to murmur: "But those people were already lying on the ground, eight martial arts practitioners who were reborn... five martial arts practitioners who had completed their physical training, and
He is only seventeen."
Zhao Bin suddenly patted the government servant in front of him on the shoulder, speaking in a leisurely tone.
"There are different ways to treat different people. If he is just a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, then he will naturally have to stay here for two more days, but the treatment will be better."
"But...he won't always be just a 'friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess'"
