Danqing frowned, unable to hide the confusion in his brows.
Lin Chu gritted his teeth.
Bailiyuan had spent several years working hard for today, so of course he would not let her ruin his plan.
That old man really has a back-up plan!
Bailiyuan was in the Ministry of War with one hand covering the sky, while the Ministry of Punishment was obedient to Lin Shoufu's advice, and the Zongzheng Mansion was involved in the investigation overtly and covertly.
The world only thinks that the Ministry of Punishment is controlled by Lin Shoufu. Only a few people know that it is all an illusion.
The Department of Punishment is the line buried most deeply in Bailiyuan.
Today, in order to intercept Lin Chu outside the palace gate, he did not hesitate to use all his trump cards.
They didn't show up when Baili Yunsheng burned down Hanmen Alley. They had just escaped and they showed up immediately.
It couldn't have come at a better time!
If he said that he hadn't already laid an ambush on the side, no one would believe it!
"Did you set the fire?"
Fu Ranjiu, a member of the Criminal Department, sat on the horse with a sullen face, lighting Lin Chu with a whip. He was aloof, plain and dignified.
Lin Chu narrowed his eyes, and his whole body was filled with evil aura that was as cold as frost.
Is Bailiyuan already impatient to reach this point?
He was going to kill her right from the start, without even the slightest detour.
"Which eye of yours saw me setting fire?"
Lin Chu rubbed her fingers on her waist. He had a righteous face and pretended to be self-serving, which made her want to hit him with a stick.
Fu Ranjiu's eyes met with hers, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
The bright and beautiful eyes of the other party actually made him, who had been in official circles for a long time, feel chills all over his body. For a moment, he thought he was dead.
"Be bold!"
The dignity of his high position did not allow him to show cowardice, so Fu Ranjiu raised his riding whip: "Come here, capture the culprit who set the fire!"
At the same time as he said this, he made a whip with his long whip and whipped it towards Lin Chu's head and face unexpectedly.
Snap!
Boom!
The long whip was thrown down, making a clanging sound and sparks flying everywhere.
This is definitely not the movement that falls on the human body.
Fu Ranjiu couldn't withdraw his whip, but he didn't bother to check. The excruciating pain from the tiger's mouth made him frown, and when he lowered his head, he saw the mottled blood stains snaking down from the tiger's mouth.
"you!"
When he raised his head, he was shocked to find that his whip was wrapped around a strange iron rod in Lin Chu's hand.
"Come down!"
The young man's voice was as light as autumn frost, and he struck hard, and Fu Ranjiu was pulled off his horse.
"ah!"
Fu Ranjiu closed his eyes subconsciously. Although the horse's back was not high, he was quite old. If he fell down like this, he would probably...
Huh?
The pain he imagined did not come, he was caught firmly, held in his arms and landed on the ground.
Looking up, he saw Zhuang Weizhe's bright and eager eyes.
"Master Fu."
Zhuang Weizhe lowered his eyes and smiled, staring gently at Fu Ranjiu's puzzled eyes: "Are you okay?"
Fu Ranjiu???
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Oh no, what is he doing?
"Let go."
Fu Ranjiu's face was hot and he was a little angry.
In full view of everyone, not only was he teased and humiliated by that brat Lin Chu, but he was also...beaten and hugged by another man.
In what manner?!
"The fire in the city today was caused by Zhuang Weizhe's carelessness."
Zhuang Weizhe had a good temper and let go, gently placing Fu Ranjiu on the ground: "Master Liu and the others are here to put out the fire."
He pointed his finger at Lin Chu and others: "It has nothing to do with them. Wei Zhe is willing to go to the Criminal Department with you and wait for disposal."
Fu Ranjiu frowned again.
These days, are there still people who can’t wait to die?
Zhuang Weizhe's move was so unexpected that even Lin Chu temporarily withdrew the stick in his hand and planned to wait and see what would happen.
No one could have imagined that Zhuang Weizhe would save Fu Ranjiu and even take the initiative to plead guilty.
His confession, the fire in Hanmen Lane, is equivalent to confirming the man-made theory, and it can't be better.
And because he confessed his crime, no one else was involved in this matter!
