Xiao Huaien's legs went weak and he almost fell down on the spot. However, in the next moment, the words of argument blurted out from his mouth. "I did not collude with the Liao State to make a plan, they framed me! The one who rushed out of the yard just now was my brother-in-law Tang Wushuang! He has never left Gyeonggi Province in his life!"
"If not, just keep walking. No matter how loud you shout here, the officials won't hear you!" Zhang Fan frowned and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yiqiumen will be here soon, don't panic!" Yang Wenguang pressed the handle of the knife and quickly added next to him.
If they had known that Xiao Huai'en's death was involved in such a big case, the two of them would definitely have considered whether they should go into this muddy water.
However, at this moment, the two of them did not feel the slightest regret in their hearts. They continued to move left and right, holding Xiao Huai'en between them, and took long strides towards Yiqiu Gate in the inner city of Bianliang.
"Friends of Kaifeng Mansion, please do it a favor and leave Xiao Huaien to us!" The pursuers came in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, they were less than twenty steps away from the five people. The leading general drew his sword in his hand and continued to shout loudly. "What he is involved in is not just a simple rooster and dog robbery, it is beyond the jurisdiction of your Kaifeng Mansion!"
"Friends of Kaifeng Mansion, please do me a favor!" Six Dutou rode their horses to overtake the generals leading the team, and outflanked Han Qing and others. They spoke politely, but held the weapons in their hands without hesitation. Raised above the head.
"You three, take him to Yiqiumen, and leave the rest to me!" Sensing that the other party had bad intentions, Han Qing ordered in a low voice, then stopped, turned around quickly, and stood with his sword in front of the street. .
He didn't know whether he should regret it or not, insisting on drowning Xiao Huaien in this case. However, his life experience in the two worlds told him that at this moment, even if he handed over Xiao Huaien, he could no longer stay out of the matter.
So, let's not think about those useless things and concentrate on dealing with the pursuers who have bad intentions.
"From Kaifeng Mansion..." The general leading the team was about to say a few more words to shirk all the responsibility for the conflict between the two parties, but suddenly felt a chill coming to his face. He instinctively closed his mouth and quickly tightened his horse. The reins.
"Are you crazy? You want to block a war horse on foot?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Put down the knife and provoke a conflict between Kaifeng Mansion and the Divine Guards. You can't afford it!"
…
The six divine guards who were about to take action were all shaken up and felt their scalps tingle. They grabbed their mounts and shouted loudly.
"You ask me, but I want to ask you. What is your intention when you approach this judge from behind with your horse and sword raised?" Han Qing's face was as dark as water, and he slowly stepped forward.
In the past two years or so, he has participated in no less than twenty battles, large and small, and his murderous aura has long penetrated into his bones.
He has never been in danger, his mind is relaxed, and he feels no different from an ordinary young master. Now facing more than two hundred soldiers of the Divine Guard Army who have come with ill-intentioned intentions, his mind and muscles are tense at the same time, and murderous aura naturally comes out of his body.
This kind of murderous intent is invisible and colorless, invisible and intangible, but it gives the opponent a great sense of oppression. Especially the God Guards who have never been on the battlefield. In an instant, no one dares to fight with him. 's eyes met.
"No, don't get me wrong. We just want to capture the bandits who colluded with the Liao Kingdom!" The one who felt the greatest pressure was the general of the Divine Guard Army who led the team. When he saw him, he instinctively put the knife across his chest to resist. Like, while explaining in a hoarse voice.
"This dear friend of Kaifeng Mansion, my Sundu Commander is also acting on orders and acting on orders." The six Divine Guards did not dare to approach Han Qing anymore. They waved their hands and explained in succession while giving the official title of the general who led the team.
Reported it.
I thought that with the words "Capital Commander", it would be enough to make an unknown soldier from Kaifeng Prefecture surrender and obey orders. Unexpectedly, Han Qing listened, but sneered with his knife, "Since you are acting under orders, please go back. Xiao Huaien
He must give an explanation to this judge for cheating the Kaifeng Mansion by cheating his own death."
"No!" The commander who led the team was so anxious that he instinctively swung the weapon in front of him. Then, he quickly realized that this action could easily cause misunderstandings, so he decisively put the knife back into the scabbard on his waist, and then stood on the horse.
He cupped his fists and saluted, "I'm Sun Haojie, commander of the Third Army of the Divine Guards on the left side. I've met this dear friend from Kaifeng Mansion. May I ask my dear friend his name and which military envoy he works under?"
The soldiers and horses of Kaifeng Prefecture belong to the Fengtian and Chengtian armies of the Bei Division. The two armies are also called the left and right armies, and each is controlled by an army inspector.
Under the military envoys, there are military inspectors, who are responsible for official affairs and other military duties. Among them, the military inspectors' rank is slightly higher than that of the battalion commanders of the Divine Guards, but the number of brothers under their jurisdiction is roughly equal to the latter.
Sun Haojie, the commander of the previous army, heard that Han Qing was wearing the uniform of an ordinary Kaifeng soldier but called himself a judge, so he thought he was at most a seventh-grade military inspector. Therefore, he instinctively wanted to use his official position to pressure the opponent into submission.
Unexpectedly, the scene he expected of the other party immediately dodging sideways, then bowing down and acknowledging his humble position did not appear at all.
Han Qing, who was wearing the usual uniform of Kaifeng Prefecture, just stopped and nodded calmly, "It turns out that it was Commander Sun Du who was in front of him. Han's name was named Qing, just now..."
"Bold!" Before he could finish his sentence, Sun Junjie's cronies were already angry and yelled at the top of their lungs, "Is this what your military inspector taught you? When I met the superior..."
"Your name is Han Qing, which Han Qing?" Sun Junjie was obviously more knowledgeable than his own soldiers. He quickly suppressed the official power that had just surged in his body and clasped his fists again.
"There is currently only one Han Qing in Kaifeng Prefecture Nan Division." Han Qing smiled and responded calmly, "I am the envoy of Kaifeng Prefecture Nan Division!"
"The general is blind, please forgive me, Judge Han!" Sun Junjie shuddered in his heart, decisively turned over and dismounted, and bowed again to salute.
Not only was Nansi's envoy much higher in rank than him, but his future was far greater than that of a military commander at his level.
The current governor of Kaifeng, Wang Shu, was promoted from the Nansi Envoy. According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, the governor of Kaifeng must also participate in political affairs, which is commonly known as the deputy prime minister.
In other words, Han Qing has now officially entered the ranks of high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty, and there is also a founding prince who has been granted a title. No matter how much he was affected by the "reincarnation of the robbers", someone took action before he was officially deprived of his title.
Injuring him is a capital offense.
What's more, according to the popular legend in Bianliang City, a few months ago, Han Qing, with only a few brothers, chopped off the head of Xiao Moke, the deputy general manager of the Pedestrian Department in the south of Liao Kingdom, and also conveniently destroyed the eastern part of Liao Kingdom.
More than a dozen of the famous generals in the Route Army were killed!
At this moment, the two sides were less than ten steps apart. From this position, fighting him with weapons was no different from seeking death.
"I was blind, please forgive me, judge!" The six divine guardsmen who had tried to outflank earlier saw their commander Sun Junjie take the initiative to dismount, and quickly put away their weapons, jumped to the ground, and bowed in salute.
"You don't need to be so polite. Kaifeng Mansion and the Divine Guards each perform their own duties, and Han has nothing to do with you." He knew that no matter how powerful he was, he could not withstand the impact of hundreds of cavalry. Han Qing also
She put away the knife and spoke in an official tone with a smile, "Xiao Huai'en is a suspect in a murder case, so Han took him away. If your boss has anything else to ask him for, he will send a formal letter to Kaifeng Mansion early tomorrow morning.
But as long as there are sufficient reasons, Wangfu Yin will definitely allow you to send someone to take him away!"
"Judge Han, wait a minute!" Sun Haojie, the commander of the third army on the left wing of the Divine Guard Army, trembled in his heart after hearing this, and hurriedly spoke to stop him. "Tonight, the Divine Guard Army is marching across the city for Xiao Huaien. The general will not
I dare to argue with Judge Han, but the evidence is conclusive that this person has colluded with the Liao Kingdom. The Liao army has already arrived at the Yellow River, so please ask Judge Han to make it convenient for the general and others!"
"Please also ask Judge Han to facilitate us!" The six divine guards reacted quickly and quickly formed a half circle and bowed to Han Qing.
Compared with the official position, he is not as high as the opponent. Compared with the knife, it seems that he is not as fast as the opponent. Today, with just two hundred numbers, how can they take Xiao Huaien away smoothly?
However, if they don't take Xiao Huai'en back to the military camp, they can't explain it to their superiors. If the superiors are angry, they will definitely not punish the ordinary soldiers. However, none of them, the officers leading the team tonight, can escape the consequences!
Therefore, the only way is to use soft words to hold Han Qing back. At the same time, he quickly informs his superiors and sends a general with sufficient weight.
"Do you think that the Kaifeng Mansion has no right to intervene in the case of secretly communicating with the Liao Kingdom?" With Han Qing's intelligence, how could he not guess what the other party was thinking, frowned, and walked out of the siege quickly.
"I don't dare!" Sun Haojie bent his body and caught up with Han Qing, blocking Han Qing's path. "Judge Han, please let me take Xiao Huaien away for the sake of my hard work all night."
"Judge Han, we are also acting under orders, please show your respect!" The six captains caught up again, stood in a row and bowed, blocking Han Qing's way.
This is a typical example of playing rogue.
Without taking action or giving way, dragging Han Qing would waste more time than anyone else.
As for Han Qing, he didn't have any real evidence of the other party's rebellion, so he couldn't just slash his way out with his sword. In a short period of time, he couldn't think of an appropriate escape strategy.
At the moment of a stalemate, they saw Yang Xu and Yang Wenguang, each holding a long gun and leading more than fifty officers from Kaifeng Prefecture, rushing over. They shouted, "Who is blocking Kaifeng Prefecture from handling the case?"
." With three clicks, Sun Junjie and others were pulled to the side of the road.
"Why are you back again?" Han Qing was surprised and asked with a frown as he moved to join the other party.
"The carriage has been loaded. Yang Wenguang doesn't trust you, so he came with us to meet him!" Yang Xu held up his gun to protect Han Qing and walked quickly eastward. "Zhang Fan escorted Xiao Huai'en and fifty other brothers. Yi
Qiumen is not far from Kaifeng Mansion, and there are other brothers on the way to help us, ensuring everything is safe!"
"Everyone, if you have offended many people tonight, please go back and tell your supervisor Wang that you can write a letter to Kaifeng Mansion to mention someone at any time!" After Yang Wenguang cut off his gun, he loudly explained to the helpless soldiers of the Divine Guards.
All the soldiers came under orders, and it was impossible to know why their superiors had to capture Xiao Huaien. Seeing the neat actions of the Kaifeng Mansion officers, they were unwilling to fight in the street, so they lowered their heads one after another and acquiesced to Yang Wenguang's arrangement.
Seeing that a conflict was about to be resolved, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the long street. Immediately afterwards, more than a hundred fully armed soldiers, surrounded by an official, flew in.
Before anyone could get closer, the official's voice had already penetrated the night, "The Royal Capital Supervisor has issued an order. Xiao Huaien's secret affair with the Liao Kingdom is related to military affairs. He must be taken back to the military camp for interrogation tonight. Anyone who dares to stop him, no matter who he is, will be punished."
Take it down as an accomplice! Don’t be afraid of getting into trouble. If the boss blames you, he will bear the responsibility!"
