Chapter 528 Picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon
Wang Xiuxian was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"General Ren, please don't frame it randomly. I am carrying out the official duties of the Criminal Department..."
Zheng~
Before Wang Xiuxian could finish speaking, Ren Ning pulled out his general's sword and pointed it at him from afar.
Although this sword is not as sharp as the fine steel dagger at the waist that has killed countless people, it is still easy to penetrate the throat of a weak scholar.
Wang Xiuxian was speechless for a moment and subconsciously took a few steps back.
He hesitantly looked at the expressionless Ren Ning, and then at the sword that was clearly pointed at him, feeling like he was about to cry.
This is really a scholar meeting a soldier, and there is no reason to explain.
When other people in the Criminal Department saw this situation, their scalps also exploded.
Wow.
One by one, they hurriedly drew out their swords and nervously guarded Shangfeng. They faced the two Ren Nings who were riding tall horses in fear and fear.
咴咴咴.
Giggle.
Although there were many more people on the other side, the two war horses Zhui Feng and Ben Lei were not afraid at all, neighing and clucking and roaring.
As long as the owner on their back gives an order, they dare to rush forward with all their strength.
"I will ask you again, will you move or not move the obstacles in front of you?"
"General Ren," Wang Xiuxian has lived in the imperial capital for a long time. He has never seen a scene where he drew his sword at the slightest disagreement. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously.
But since he comes from the Ministry of Punishment, he naturally doesn't have a bad mouth.
"You have no basis for suspecting that I am having an affair with a foreign enemy. Now that I see that you are determined to remove these obstacles that prevent prisoners from the Criminal Department from escaping, can I also suspect that the general is related to those thieves who kill and steal?"
Ren Ning was completely unmoved and didn't bother to discuss it with Wang Xiuxian.
He roared angrily: "Lei Er!"
Phew~
"My subordinate is here!" Lei Er raised the red and black machete that had killed countless people, and responded murderously.
[In other words, it is currently the best for reading and listening to books,@
The change happened so quickly that the subordinates of the Criminal Department were caught off guard and were all stunned.
"Are you all stupid..." Wang Xiuxian scolded them again, and then they woke up from a dream and quickly started to clear the obstacles on the road.
Soon, the obstacles on the road were cleared.
However, Ren and Ning did not move, and continued to stare at them coldly from a high position.
"General Ren," Wang Xiuxian said in a completely different tone, "The roadblock has been cleared. I wonder if you have any other advice?"
Hum hum.
Lei Er stood up with a sneer.
"Master Wang, your face is a bit false. You are not waiting for us to pass by and then seal the post road again, are you?"
Before Wang Xiuxian could speak, the dog-headed military advisor behind him quickly took a step forward.
"No, no, the two generals misunderstood."
"We were so focused on the Ministry of Punishment's priorities that we neglected Hanoi County's role as a transportation hub. Thanks to the timely reminder from the two generals, we were able to wake up."
"Please rest assured, General Ren."
"Today, all the checkpoints and obstacles set up by Hanoi County will be cleared. As for the serious criminals from the Criminal Department, we will send more manpower to search for them in other ways, but they will never cause trouble to the traffic on the post road."
After saying that, he gave a look to the Minister of Justice behind him.
Wang Xiuxian responded quickly and hurriedly vowed to make the same guarantee to Ren Ning.
By blocking the post road, the King of Qi would at most lose a little income from the fiefdom, but if the Xingluo Army were caused to side with Chen Xiuzhu, then the prince would lose more than he gained.
He understood very well.
snort.
Lei Er snorted again, "I don't even dare to measure you."
The convoy coming out of Xingluo County will also pass by Hanoi County. If Wang Xiuxian really dares to be capricious, even if he hides in the Penal Department Yamen and cannot come out, he will have to walk around without food in the end.
Amid the complicated gazes, the two people continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, Lei Er clicked his tongue and said, "Identity is really a good thing. As soon as King Qin became the crown prince, the Ministry of Punishment made a choice and clearly sided with him."
Ren Ning nodded slightly, "The six ministries of the imperial court, now the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War have all expressed their attitude, leaving only the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel. It is estimated that Qian Liang and others will make their own choices soon."
As for the talkative Fan Wen from the Ministry of Rites, he has always been loyal to the law and ancestral laws, so he almost doesn't care about them.
"Old Ren," Lei Er winked, "don't forget, there is also a Grand Master's Mansion."
Ren Ning shook his head speechlessly.
Even though he was expelled from the clan a few years ago, in the eyes of many caring people, he is still a member of the Taishi Mansion.
"Hey," Ren Ning raised his head and looked forward, "Let's go and take a look at the situation ahead."
No matter how important the alignment of the various parties in Star City is, it has nothing to do with him.
Ren Ning is more concerned about the food and drink of the Xingluo army on the Baekje Peninsula.
as expected.
The checkpoints are easy to set up, but difficult to clear.
The further north we went, the more caravans and pedestrians blocked the road, causing a commotion and making Lei Er so angry that he wanted to kill people with a knife.
Nowadays, in addition to ordinary caravans and convoys delivering food, there are also a large number of caravans transporting shipbuilding timber to Pinghai County.
There were so many convoys blocking each other, unable to move, and the neighing of the oxen and horses pulling the carts, which made people upset, and eventually led to complaints.
"The prince made a mistake." Ren Ning thought.
"Indeed." Lei Er agreed.
Behind each caravan stood one or even several wealthy families from Star City. He blocked the post road and ended up offending people who were not from Star City?
well.
He sighed gloomily.
"If this kind of person who only cares about picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons really becomes the emperor of Yunchui, then the future of the empire..."
Ren Ning said noncommittally, "Let's go."
After saying that, he drove north and took the lead.
