Chapter 36

"These people are awesome." Cui Jianfeng dropped the half-cut knife hilt in fear.

"Forget it, let's not go after that Lu Dazhu." Chen Yuntian threw away the handle of the knife in frustration and sighed.

"Look." At this moment, Zhu Guangcai suddenly pointed to the north and said, "A group of troops appeared over there, blocking Lu Dazhu's way."

"This should be Lu Hechang's cavalry." Chen Yuntian was surprised: "They must be here to capture you. But now our knives have been cut by Qiu Siyuan's people, and we can't deal with them, so we can only capture you without mercy."

"No way." Cui Jianfeng looked at the cavalry running towards Lu Dazhu and sneered: "They don't have such courage."

Chen Yuntian's estimate was correct. That cavalry team was none other than Lu Hechang's cavalry team led by Shang Jiuqing. Of course, the cavalry team was returned by the confidant sent by Junchen.

The confidant sent by Lai Junchen was named Jiang Tiancheng, nicknamed Shui Fei. He was a seventh-rank official in the Tang Dynasty and his ancestral home was Longyou. He was born in the second year of Xianqing, Gao Chong, and grew up in Guazhou. He was thirty-four years old.

When Jiang Tiancheng came out, Lai Junchen also told him the same thing as the Minister of Punishment told Lu Hechang. After coming here, he strictly restricted Shang Jiuqing and issued orders in the name of Shang Jiuqing.

He first took this group of troops to Chunlai Inn to find Cui Jianfeng. Unexpectedly, Cui Jianfeng took his two followers who were following Qiu Siyuan to hunt down Lu Dazhu.

He immediately headed for the outskirts of the city, intending to take a detour to intercept Cui Jianfeng and force him to hand over Zhu Guangcai. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the north of a village on the outskirts of the city, he unexpectedly found Lu Dazhu who was desperately trying to escape and stopped and tied him up.

When Cui Jianfeng saw that Lu Dazhu had been captured by Lu Hechang's people, he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Qiu Siyuan had flown to their side. After hearing Cui Jianfeng's words, he just smiled faintly.

"What can we do about this?" Cui Jianfeng secretly cried out.

"We can rescue that guy, but there are conditions." Qiu Siyuan said with a smile after landing in front of Cui Jianfeng's horse.

"What conditions?"

"Promise me not to kill that guy. I know you want to silence him."

"Don't you know that kid is a murderer?" Cui Jianfeng disagreed: "If we let him go, he may not be able to escape the government's pursuit. Anyway, he will be beaten to death by the government sooner or later."

"In any case, I think you have no reason to kill him. If you kill someone just to silence him, that is also an irrational behavior."

"If we don't kill him, he will bring disaster to us in the future." Cui Jianfeng emphasized.

"We can guarantee you won't get into trouble because of him."

"What can you do?"

"We can take him away and let him live in anonymity at our contact point."

"Okay then." Cui Jianfeng nodded in agreement.

After a while, Jiang Tiancheng led his troops and escorted Lu Dazhu to Cui Jianfeng.

"It's Cui Dushi." Jiang Tiancheng didn't know Cui Jianfeng, but from the clothes Cui Jianfeng wore and his location, he quickly predicted that the people in front of him were the protagonists of the case they came to investigate.

"Where are you from? How do you know my last name?" Cui Jianfeng seemed a little unhappy that he called me by his official name.

"I was sent by the Minister of Justice to investigate the case." Jiang Tiancheng smiled kindly: "I didn't expect so many things to happen when I first arrived. It's so infuriating."

"Me too." Cui Jianfeng also nodded politely: "I was unlucky at the beginning, and almost all my people were killed by the gods using magic light."

Cui Jianfeng now knew from Qiu Siyuan's explanation that the weapons used by these extraterrestrial visitors were called laser guns. However, in order to scare the Tang officials in front of him, he still used the original term and said it was a magic light.

"Oh, I heard the county government say that just now, and I'm also worried now." Jiang Tiancheng complied, still smiling.

"Hey, isn't this the murderer in the rape and murder case? Why did you bring him here?" Cui Jianfeng looked surprised and asked, pointing to Lu Dazhu who had been shackled around his neck.

"What?" Jiang Tiancheng looked at Cui Jianfeng in confusion: "Mr. Cui doesn't know yet?"

"How could I possibly know him? Didn't we escort him to the capital prison last time after we concluded the case? You brought him out again and want to try him again?" Cui Jianfeng asked inexplicably.

"Since Mr. Cui doesn't know, then forget it." Jiang Tiancheng turned to the dozen jailers on horseback standing behind him and said, "Look carefully at the people around Cui Gong to see if there is the incognito person you saw last night.

A member of the capital?"

"Yes, that's the official in red clothes on the right of Mr. Cui." The dozen or so jailers behind Jiang Tiancheng recognized Zhu Guangcai at a glance and pointed at him in unison.

"Yeah." Cui Jianfeng pretended not to know, turned around and asked Zhu Guangcai: "Did you go to the cell last night?"

"No," Zhu Guangcai pretended not to understand and asked the person next to him: "When did I go to the cell?"

"That's right." Jiang Tiancheng was still smiling: "Then Mr. Cui agrees that we take Mr. Zhu to the county government first? We will release him immediately after we find out clearly."

"It seems like you members of the Criminal Department don't have such qualifications, right?" Cui Jianfeng asked angrily.

"Of course not, but as an official from the Ministry of Justice who came to investigate the case, I need to take Mr. Zhu to check. I have this power."

"Go away!" Cui Jianfeng's sword was cut off by Liang Haiming's laser gun. He wanted to draw out his sword and prepare to fight, but now his hands were empty, so he could only point at Jiang Tiancheng and shout angrily.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Cui." When Jiang Tiancheng saw that Cui Jianfeng and the others didn't even carry swords, he stopped laughing and shouted to the attendants behind him: "Why don't you go and ask Mr. Zhu to come back to the county office with us?"

As soon as the attendants waiting behind Jiang Tiancheng heard the order, without saying a word, they rushed up to surround Zhu Guangcai, put a flail on him and lifted him onto another horse.

Cui Jianfeng became angry. He rushed forward without caring about anything and casually punched Jiang Tiancheng.

Jiang Tiancheng never expected that Cui Jianfeng would dare to attack his long-time minister who came to Junchen. He was so angry that he ordered Lu Hechang and the others to capture Cui Jianfeng.

"Except Mr. Jiang," Lu Hechang did not move, but reminded Jiang Tiancheng: "Mr. Cui is not an ordinary official. We have no right to touch him."

"Oh," Jiang Tiancheng seemed to feel that what he did was inappropriate, so he smiled again and said to Cui Jianfeng, "I'll just take Mr. Zhu to ask for questions, and I'll send him back after a while. Okay?"

"Stop making trouble with them. I have a way to rescue them. Just promise him to take Mr. Zhu away." Qiu Siyuan, who was standing aside, quietly said to Cui Jianfeng.

"Okay." Cui Jianfeng understood and calmed down and said, "It's Zhu Du's matter. You can go to the county government office with Jiang Gong and help him investigate the case."
