Until Xie Jun arrived with the officers and soldiers from the Bingma Division, Prince Duan and others did not leave, so the arrest work went smoothly.

But the noise was also loud.

After all, these clan members were numerous, and after being arrested, they kept yelling and scolding, causing countless people to watch and discuss.

"My lord, who are these people being arrested..."

Xie Jun's face turned pale when he heard those clan members reporting threats to their family. He received an order from Jia Lian, saying that someone had formed a group to scold the emperor and asked him to bring more troops to arrest him. He only thought they were ordinary family members, who had ever

Unexpectedly, these people, without exception, are all descendants of the clan? And the two leading people, one is the Crown Prince Duan, and the other is the Young Master of Prince Zhongshun!

Xie Jun felt that he trusted his master too much, and if he continued to work alone, he would be in trouble.

"Why, are you scared?"

Jia Lian looked at the road ahead and looked at Xie Jun playfully.

Xie Jun's face turned bitter, "Of course you are not afraid, my lord. You are a Marquis and you have the support of the imperial concubine, so you are not afraid of them. But if your subordinates are concerned about them, and you want to deal with them, you don't just raise your hand..."

The fourth prince next to Jia Lian looked down upon his appearance and cursed: "You are a worthless coward, not just a few dudes, to scare you like this, but you are still a leader, it is really an embarrassment to our military attache of Wei Dynasty!"

"

Xie Jun was furious when he heard this: "Where did you come from, a pretty boy who talks so brazenly? How can you interrupt me when I'm talking to my elders?"

The fourth prince's fair and tender face suddenly froze, his mouth slightly opened, and he could not utter a word after being scolded. Others, including the two brothers Jia Lian, Zhang Shuo, and Zhang Tao, were also stunned and looked at Xie blankly.

Jun, a capital word for service.

Well, you don’t have to wait for these dudes to deal with you.

But he couldn't blame Jie Jun completely. He felt that he was in a bad mood when he got into trouble, and he didn't dare to vent his anger on Jia Lian. Now when the fourth prince came to mock him, he naturally became his punching bag.

After all, the fourth prince, who had just come out of a brothel, was dressed like a young prince. At first glance, he looked exactly like a pretty boy.

Seeing that the fourth prince's expression changed again and again, he was about to get angry. After all, he was his subordinate. Jia Lian quickly smoothed things over and said: "Ignorance is not guilty. He does not know the identity of His Highness. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive his disrespectful words."

"

This time Xie Jun was also stunned.

Anyone who can make Jia Lian bow to apologize and say "Your Highness", without asking, he can guess that he is an awesome person.

He trembled all over and couldn't care about anything. He quickly turned over and got off his horse. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and apologized: "I am guilty of the death penalty for understating my position. I don't know that it was your highness who was in front of you. Your words were offensive. Please forgive me..."

The fourth prince looked gloomy. This was the first time in his life that someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him. Even Wei Xian, a child, would only name him by name at most, and call him a pretty boy and a brat like this. Give Wei Xian ten

He didn't have the guts to do it.

He wanted to be angry, but considering that Xie Jun was Jia Lian's subordinate after all, and his official position was low, it seemed... not so classy to care about him.

Juncheng's frightened expression just happened to make him confirm that this guy really didn't recognize him, so he glared at him angrily for a few seconds, and finally waved his hand and hummed: "You idiot without eyes, for your sake, this time

“Come on, I’ll spare you this once. If you dare to scold me next time, I want you to look good.”….

After saying that, he rode up to the front of Jia Lian. He felt that it must be because he was following behind Jia Lian that the warrior underestimated him. Now he walked in front of Jia Lian to see who dared to underestimate him.

Hearing that the fourth prince called himself the king, he wanted to die because he was really causing trouble. He didn't hear the other words of the fourth prince clearly and could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Get up."

Jia Lian also felt speechless. Seeing him standing up tremblingly and wiping sweat from his forehead, he was obviously frightened, so he smiled and cursed: "Well, His Highness the Fourth is the most generous and righteous man, and he keeps his word.

Since he said he would spare you, he will definitely not make things difficult for you again."

"Yes, yes, thank you for interceding for me. I can't repay my humble position. From now on, my life will belong to you. I told you to go east, but I will never do it."

If you dare to go west, your Majesty will tell me that I will catch the dog, but I will never chase the chicken..."

"Flatterer." The fourth prince in front cursed secretly, but raised his nose high, reined in his horse and started running briskly. It was obvious that Jia Lian's "objective evaluation" of him made him very happy and satisfied.

At the front, the officers and soldiers of the Military and Horse Division, who were pressing forward with the clan members, also felt guilty.

Finally, knowing that his commander was personally holding the formation, he could barely maintain the formation and walk towards the base camp.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses were seen approaching, forming a formation to block the road ahead, and everyone stopped together.

"Who is coming?"

"Let Jia Lian come out to see me."

Jia Lian had long known that the way back would not be smooth. Otherwise, he would not have fought with the fourth prince in person, but would have gone directly to the palace to face the saint.

Riding a horse, he came to the front of the formation and saw the people who came to interfere. Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Jia Lian has seen Qiu Shishu. I wonder why Qiu Shishu led troops to my nephew's territory. What's the point?"

Qiu Liang, the commander of the Army and Horse Department in Zhongcheng, was the grandson of Marquis Jingtian. He was an old friend of the Jia family and Jia Lian was also familiar with him.

Qiu Liang looked at the royal family members on the ground who were being escorted by officers and soldiers. His eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but look at Jia Lian: "What does this mean, my nephew?"

"Uncle Qiu Shi, are you talking about these people? These people met secretly in Jinpin Pavilion. Not only did they discuss the government affairs, but they also dared to speak out and slander His Majesty. They deserve to be punished. Therefore, my nephew is going to take these bold madmen back to the Yamen first, and wait for the explanation.

Your Majesty, you will deal with it later."

Qiu Liang looked surprised, "Does my nephew know the identities of these people..."

"I don't know, is this important? Anyone who dares to slander the holy bow will be punished by death according to law."

Qiu Liang: "..."

The clan members, who had been tired of scolding the officers and soldiers and Jia Lian for a long time, saw that Qiu Liang was coming to save them, so they immediately started shouting again.

"Master Qiu, help me, we are all being slandered."

"Exactly, please Sir Qiu, please save us. This Jia Lian has a grudge against me, so he deliberately framed us. Even if we have the courage, we would not dare to slander His Majesty. Please Sir Qiu, please help us.

In the future, the younger generation and the entire Duke Duan Palace will definitely repay you with generous gifts."

Qiu Liang followed the voice and looked over, and found that it was Prince Duan, and he admired Jia Lian even more.

After taking a look at the people who were gathered outside to watch the excitement, Qiu Liang stepped forward on his horse, went to Jia Lian's side and whispered: "Why is my nephew so stubborn? You and I are all ministers, no one cares about their royal affairs..."

These children of the clan are used to being arrogant and domineering. To us, His Majesty is the Lord, and we should be in awe of him. But to them, in addition to being the Emperor, He is also their elder, and they have no respect for their elders.

An annoying sentence means nothing.

I believe that my nephew will not let anything go unnoticed. However, we really can't do it. Think about it, nephew, if you catch someone in front of you, and their elders later beg for mercy in front of your majesty, your majesty will be heartbroken.

So soft, he probably won't do anything to them. When the time comes, the wise nephew will be caught in the middle, and he will still be fine after offending someone for nothing, so why bother to come to Zhai?

Listen to Uncle Shi's advice and let them go. It will be good for you and me..."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Uncle Shi is here, he must be entrusted by someone, right?"

It only took about a quarter of an hour from the time he arrested the person until Qiu Liang arrived with his troops. Needless to say, this was only possible if someone came to report the news.

Qiu Liang narrowed his eyes and saw that Jia Lian seemed to be a little obsessed with it, but he did not hide it and still whispered: "Since my nephew has seen it, I won't hide it from you. I just received the order from Prince Zhongshun.

My nephew may not know yet, but one of these people is the son of Prince Zhongshun! My nephew also comes from an honorable family, so he should know that we nobles cannot afford to offend Prince Zhongshun's family no matter what.

Why would a good nephew put his family's fate and future on the line for a trivial matter...

What's more, you arrested Prince Duan again, because you think you didn't offend Prince Duan's palace enough!"

"That's what Uncle Shi said."

Jia Lian understood what Qiu Liang meant. King Zhongshun was not only the younger brother of Emperor Ningkang's mother, he was also in charge of

In charge of the lifeline of the clan and relatives - the clan mansion.

Although King Zhongshun was not yet a Zongling, after Prince Su became old and became inactive, King Zongshun became the actual person in charge of the Zongren Mansion.

It can be said that no matter whether you are a clan member or a close relative, if you want to live a smooth life, you should not offend the clan family or King Zhongshun.

Therefore, if the Fourth Prince was not here today and he bumped into these people alone, he might really not pay attention to them.

"but……"

"Master Qiu, please come back. I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."

Jia Lian took a step back from his horse, cupped his fists and saluted.

Qiu Liang saw that Jia Lian suddenly distanced himself from him. He didn't know where Jia Lian was wrong. Just as he was about to persuade him again, he heard a young man's voice coming from behind Jia Lian: "Qiu Liang, right? You led the troops here, right?"

Do you want to protect these unfilial children who insulted my father?"

Qiu Liang opened his eyes and looked around. As the commander of the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Division, Qiu Liang's status was higher than that of the other four commanders, because the scope he was in charge of was the periphery of the imperial city, and he usually had the most dealings with the royal family.

Of course he recognized the fourth prince, so he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"I ask you, do you want to protect these unfilial sons?"

"Well, Your Highness has misunderstood. This is not what I meant by my humble position."

"Since you don't mean it, then go away. Otherwise, I will arrest you too!"

Listening to the arrogant and direct words of the fourth prince, Qiu Liangliang finally understood why Jia Lian dared to arrest these clan members.

He thought in his mind that since he was a low-ranking official, even if the fourth prince had no real power, he could not offend him. Moreover, today's matter also involved Emperor Ning Kang, so he could help, but it would not be worth it to involve himself.

….

Anyway, the fourth prince was there, and he had an explanation in front of Prince Zhongshun, so he turned around and waved to the officers and soldiers he had brought.

Seeing that the person blocking the road had walked away, the fourth prince was satisfied and said, "You know what I mean." Then he ignored Qiu Liang and stepped forward to quarrel with the chattering Wei Xian'er.
