Chapter 26: Marquis of Pingyang's Iron Voucher

The old man was pushed into the water, and the people on the boat were still teasing him. Soon, he saw a young girl jumping from the second floor of the pleasure boat and falling into the water with a thud.

The Marquis of Pingyang on the pleasure boat hurriedly asked someone to go into the water to catch the woman. Needless to say, it was known that the woman who was diving must be the old man's daughter. Soon the woman was pulled up by the guards who jumped out of the river, but the old man was still floating in the river and looked watery. However, as long as he swam up the boat, he was pushed away by the people on the pleasure boat with a bamboo pole. But for the sake of his daughter, the old man continued to swim towards the pleasure boat.

Gao Jin stood beside Zhu Qi and saw that His Highness the King of Liao's face became more and more gloomy. He hurriedly took the people and took a small boat to save the people.

The girls who were originally sitting next to Zhu Qi and Zhu Di saw that the two young men around him seemed to be planning to be heroes, and each of them looked frightened. One of them kindly reminded:

"Young Master, Mr. Pingyang must not provoke you!"

Zhu Di laughed when he heard this and said:

"How long has the Ming Dynasty been promulgated? The prince still violated the law and was even guilty of the common people. What's more, the Marquis of Pingyang is not a real prince. If he really robs the daughter of the people, it would be a death sentence. What's the matter?"

The girl continued:

"Young Master, this is different. Then the marquis of Pingyang have the iron coupon for exemption from death from the emperor."

When Zhu Di heard this, he looked a little confused. If there was an iron coupon for avoiding death, it would be hard to say.

When the girl saw Zhu Di's expression, she thought Zhu Di was afraid, so she stopped saying anything.

On the other side of the pleasure boat, Gao Jin took a few guards and paddled the old man in the river. When several servants on the pleasure boat saw that someone dared to save people, they immediately cursed Gao Jin and others.

Gao Jin was the guard of His Highness of the Liao King. How could he tolerate the insults of these evil servants? He immediately stood up and jumped onto the other party's pleasure boat. He raised his legs and kicked the vicious servant to the ground. The person next to him was stunned and was about to fight back when he suddenly heard a shout from the pleasure boat:

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect the Marquis!"

As he saw a shout, Pingyang Hou suddenly broke through the window on the second floor and fell down. Fortunately, his evil servant was blocking it on the deck, otherwise it would be a big drop.

A figure in a night outfit suddenly chased out from behind, and in a misty figure, a long sword stabbed towards Pingyang Hou.

Zhu Qi felt quite familiar when he saw the assassin's figure. After a closer look, he immediately recognized him. This figure was the person who pretended to be "Shi Xuan'er"!

But behind the assassin, another bald monk appeared, and his muscles were as tangled as old tree roots. At least from a visual perspective, it was very shocking.

The monk was burly and his speed was faster than that of the assassin. He was almost a thousand feet long in a flash. He raised his fist and hammered it out on the back of the assassin.

The assassin flipped his body, stepped on the wall of the boat building, dodged his body, then raised his sword and attacked the monk. The monk reached out to his back and suddenly pulled out a golden-wire ring knife.

One of the two had exquisite sword skills, like a dragon and a silky dragon, and the other held a big knife in his hand, and opened and closed, and started fighting on the spot.

Zhu Qi thought the two of them would be fighting for a long time, but he didn't expect that it was just three people who were wrong. The monk holding the sword knelt on the deck with his neck covered his neck and he couldn't stop it at all. He lay on the ground for a while and no movement was heard. However, the assassin's legs seemed to be injured, and he limped when he moved, obviously not as smart as before.

But the assassin did not give up, but turned his body and ran towards Pingyang Hou. The servants around Pingyang Hou hurriedly surrounded their masters, and more guards ran out in the boat building.

Seeing that the assassin was not doing anything, hesitated and turned his body and jumped into the Huai River. Ships of bright red blood suddenly floated out of the river surface, but he never saw the assassin again. The river surface was covered in darkness, and it would be difficult to find the assassin.

A man of Pingyang met an assassin on the pleasure boat, and even killed someone. The rest of the pleasure boats on the Huai River were also in a mess, and there was no intention to continue drinking and having fun on the river. The pleasure boats rushed toward the shore, trying to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

The Pingyang Hou was helped up and saw that his bodyguard monk was killed by an assassin. He looked at Gao Jin next to him in anger and pointed at Gao Jin and shouted:

"You must be with the assassin! Catch me by someone!"

The evil servants immediately surrounded him, but before seeing Gao Jin's good skills, no one dared to be the first to go, mainly because they did not have crossbows on their hands. After all, they were just guards of domestic slaves and were not allowed to carry crossbows.

Just as they were thinking of going side by side, they heard noise from the shore, and saw a large number of officials and officers rushing to the scene. It was obvious that the people from the government were alarmed here.

Marquis Pingyang was not panicked at all, and said with a smile:

"You are dead this time!"

The Marquis of Pingyang looked at Gao Jin proudly, and then ordered people to shore the pleasure boat. As soon as they got on the shore, they pointed at Gao Jin and said to the prefect of Fengyang who was rushing over:

"The magistrate came just right. This marquis happened to catch a few assassins. They killed people on my pleasure boat. Please take them down!"

The prefect was stunned when he saw Gao Jin, and then saw Zhu Qi and Zhu Di who had just arrived ashore. His face turned pale and said quickly:

"Misunderstandings and misunderstandings."

Pingyang Hou frowned, was displeased and said:

"It's really not a misunderstanding. Someone died on my boat. Hurry up and get someone!"

The prefect hurriedly grabbed the Marquis of Pingyang and frowned and said:

"Those two are His Highness the King of Liao and His Highness the King of Yan, and they are His Highness the King of Liao's guards!"

"King of Liao? King of Yan?"

The Marquis of Pingyang was stunned. He really didn't know what happened to King Liao and King Yan coming to Fengyang. He had been traveling around the country these days. When he looked into the crowd, he saw Zhu Qi and Zhu Di.

Zhu Qi and Zhu Di had no impression of the Marquis of Pingyang, but the Marquis of Pingyang knew the two princes. He was shocked at the time and knew that he had messed with the wrong person.

Gao Jin quickly stood behind Zhu Qi with his people. Just as they were talking, the old man who had been rescued rushed to the second floor to save his daughter, but when he rushed forward, there was only a bloody corpse. He saw that there was a hairpin tied around the neck of his daughter's body, and his clothes were messy. It was obvious that he would rather die than commit suicide.

The old man was red in his eyes and rushed downstairs to fight to the death of the Marquis of Pingyang. At this time, people were surrounded by people coming down from the pleasure boat, and the people around him also went out to watch. Seeing this scene, everyone was also quite indignant.

But the other party was Pingyang Marquis after all. They had been arrogant and blessed in Fengyang for many years, so they dared not speak out.

Before the old man rushed to the front of Pingyang Hou, a servant beat him with a stick and knocked the old man to the ground, looking like he was loyal to protect his master. The servant next to him was about to beat him again, and he heard Zhu Qi scolding:

"Stop! So many people are watching, you still dare to beat good people. Do you really think that I, the Ming Dynasty, have no king's laws!"

Pingyang Hou said with a grievance:

"His Royal Highness, he is not a good citizen. He was going to hit me just now."

Zhu Qi saw that Pingyang Hou had killed a person, but he actually dared to spread rumors. He was so angry that he was getting up. He walked forward, raised his hand and slapped him, and slapped him in the face without hesitation.

Logically speaking, this Pingyang Hou was still the brother of Zhu Qi and Zhu Di. Pingyang Hou never expected that Zhu Qi would do it directly, and the people around him applauded:

"Good fight!"

"His Royal Highness is the master of ours!"

However, before the people could shout, the servants around Pingyang Hou glared at him viciously. The people immediately became scared and there was no sound. Only the old man was pulled by someone and sat on the ground and cried so hard that he was out of breath.

Seeing that more and more people were watching around, the Fengyang Prefect also hurriedly stood up and said:

"Marty, two princes, there must be misunderstandings in this matter. Why not do this? Let's go back first and let the officials investigate carefully and find out the whole story. Let's talk about it?"

Zhu Qi smiled and said:

"You, the prefect, will be mixed with Ximeng. What other misunderstandings are there? King Yan and I have seen it with our own eyes. This Marquis of Pingyang forced a good man to be a prostitute and threw his father down the river. Now his daughter died on his pleasure boat. This matter cannot be delayed. But you still asked the Marquis of Pingyang to go home and talk about it? Are you trying to help the evildoer, and will the people be able to be beaten?"

Zhu Di also said viciously:

"That's right! How do you become a parent? When you go back, I will tell my father to see how my father punishes you!"

When the prefect heard that his legs were weak, the Marquis of Pingyang could not afford to offend him, but these two princes could not afford to offend him. He quickly waved his hand and shouted to others:

"First, take down the Marquis of Pingyang first and take it back to the yamen for interrogation!"

The officers responded and were about to go forward to arrest the Marquis of Pingyang, but the Marquis of Pingyang was not panicked and took out an iron-colored tiled object from his arms.

The above rows of small characters, but the top four characters are clear - [Iron Voucher for Immunity to Death].

The yamen runners were stunned and the prefect looked embarrassed, but Zhu Qi didn't care so much and said with a wave of his hand:

"What are you doing when you stand there? This is an iron voucher for exemption from death, not an iron voucher for crime. Be arrested and waited for this king to interrogate!"

The group of people reacted and went forward to take away the confused Marquis Pingyang, and the prefect also hurriedly followed.

Zhu Di whispered in Zhu Qi's ear:

"Third brother, he has a coupon for exempting death. We...it doesn't seem to be able to deal with him."

Zhu Qi also knew this truth, but the Marquis of Pingyang was obviously used to being rampant in the countryside. He was extremely arrogant just now. If he didn't take him down, would the people of Fengyang still want it?

Zhu Qi said to Zhu Di with his hands behind his back:

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Let's take one step and look at it."
