No matter how powerful the Zhao family is, they still have to be cautious in Jiankang.
This scruple is imperial power.
The Zhao family can bully anyone in Jiankang, but they cannot bully the emperor, because the Zhao family's position of authority is ultimately obtained by "protecting the imperial power." If they trample on the imperial power, they will dig their own grave.
Facing the inner guard, the fourth young lady of the Zhao family was naturally a little scared, but she still had to maintain her dignity. She looked up at Qi Dayou and took a deep breath.
"May I ask your surname?"
Lieutenant Qi smiled at her and said, "My surname is Qi, so I won't mention my name to Miss Zhao, lest Miss Zhao find the inner guards and settle accounts with Qi."
This sentence is purely a joke to Miss Zhao Si. The inner guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are independent from the imperial court. They are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and are directly under the emperor. Not only does the Zhao family have no way to do anything to the inner guards, but
Even the Ministry of War and even the Zhongshu Province could only write to the emperor to impeach the internal guards, but could not directly exercise jurisdiction over the internal guards.
The only thing to be careful about is that the Zhao family is powerful and may take action against their family members.
Miss Zhao Si raised her eyebrows and asked: "What do you call me?"
Qi Dayou lowered his eyebrows and said, "I was lucky enough to become a school captain."
"Captain Qi."
Miss Zhao took a deep breath and said, "What happened today was a misunderstanding. My family was caught off guard..."
She looked at Shen Yi and said, "Well, if I hurt this young master, in two days I will ask him to bring a gift of money and come to apologize to this young master."
"What do Colonel Qi think?"
Qi Dayou looked back at Shen Yi and saw Shen Yi squatting on the ground covering his shoulders with his hands without saying a word. He could only say helplessly: "Miss Zhao, it is not Mr. Qi who is injured, but Mr. Shen. You
If you want to reconcile, it seems like you should ask Mr. Shen for his opinion?"
Miss Zhao Si didn't want to see Shen Yi at all. She bit her lip and asked, "What do you mean, Captain Qi, won't let us go?"
To be honest, if Qi Dayou was just on a business trip to protect Shen Yi, then it would be impossible for him to stand up for Shen Yi at this point. After all, he was facing the Zhao family.
However, Qi Dayou had a good personal relationship with Shen Yi. The two of them had drank together and treated each other like brothers, so he had to say a few words for Shen Yi.
Lieutenant Qi slightly lowered his eyebrows and said: "Miss Zhao, it's not that Mr. Qi refuses to let you go, it's Mr. Shen who wants you to give an explanation. If you, Miss Zhao, weren't here today..."
He glanced at the four servants of the Zhao family and said coldly: "We will immediately transfer these four madmen who beat up the new Jinshi to Jiankang Mansion. Now the Yin of Jiankang Mansion is the Prince of Jin. Faced with
This kind of eucalyptus may not necessarily give your Zhao family face!"
"Miss Zhao needs to think clearly. If you hand over this murderer today, there is still room for easing things. If things get serious..."
"It may reach Tianting at any time, and it may also affect General Zhao who is fighting on the front line!"
After hearing Qi Dayou's words, the fourth girl still stood where she was, biting her lips and refusing to give in.
At this time, the servant who pushed Miss Lu came up. He knelt directly in front of his young lady, lowered his head and said, "Miss, there is no need to make things difficult for the villain. If the villain did something wrong, just come forward and accept it."
After that, he was about to walk towards Qi Dayou.
Miss Zhao slapped the servant hard in the face, frowned and cursed: "Get back here!"
"Did I ask you to speak? You don't understand the rules!"
After the servant received a heavy slap, he covered his face and turned back, with a look of astonishment on his face.
He didn't understand that this young lady from the Zhao family didn't care about him at all. What she cared about was her own face and... the face of the Zhao family.
This young lady from the Zhao family walked slowly to Shen Yi. Shen Yi was sitting on the ground now, covering his injured shoulder with his hand. Junior Sister Lu was squatting next to him to check his injury.
"Is your surname Shen?"
Shen Yi sneered and said nothing.
Miss Zhao suppressed her anger and said, "You shouldn't do it. I'll treat it as if you heard it. I'll let this go for today. I'll have someone send a thousand taels of cash to your house tomorrow."
Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at Miss Zhao Si.
Miss Zhao is not particularly good-looking, she can only be considered above average. Because she often dances with swords, guns, horses, horses and archery, she has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. However, this heroic spirit has turned into a domineering spirit in her.
Shen Yi smiled at her.
At this time, the left side of Shen Yi's face was swollen. Because the left side of his face was injured, he could only squeeze out an arc on the right side of his face, forming a somewhat evil smile.
"That's right, Miss Zhao."
Mr. Shen took a deep breath, then wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, looked up at the Zhao girl, and said slowly: "Today, each of your four servants beat me, and I didn't
I'm not going to get into any trouble with the four of them here, but one of them pushed my junior sister..."
"If I had been beaten, I might have accepted the one thousand taels of silver. But now that this man has touched my junior sister, the one thousand taels will be gone. You can't even think of leaving until he loses one of his arms."
Junior sister Lu on the side glanced at Shen Yi and said anxiously: "Brother, I'm not in the way. Just let them go and let's go see the doctor..."
Miss Zhao Si heard what Shen Yi said. She looked at Miss Lu beside her and showed a disdainful smile: "Shen, I know what you are thinking. It's just that your sweetheart is in front of you and you want to give her a break.
, You want to show off as a hero in front of your sweetheart. This idea of yours is both childish and ridiculous. I can tell you that these one thousand taels of silver are for the sake of the inner guard. If you don’t continue to cause trouble without knowing what is good..."
Her eyes were fierce: "By then, Jiankang City won't even have room for a new scholar like you!"
"This is not about showing off, nor is it about saving face."
Shen Yi squinted his eyes and smiled. Because his left eye was swollen, his expression looked a little embarrassed.
"This is called being angry for beauty."
"You ungrateful animal!"
Miss Zhao Si was furious and ignored Shen Yi. Instead, she walked up to Captain Qi, glared at Captain Qi fiercely, and said: "Captain Qi, things are not easy to handle. The little girl is here by herself.
Wait, let me ask a family member to come over, okay?"
Colonel Qi pointed at the servant who Shen Yi had specified to have his arm disabled, and said, "If Miss Zhao doesn't leave, if this person doesn't leave, there will be no problem."
Miss Zhao turned around, looked at a servant behind her, and said: "Go to my elder brother now and ask him to come to Jiming Temple immediately, saying that someone is going to bully our Zhao family!"
The servant nodded, turned around and left quickly.
After ordering the servants, Miss Zhao turned around and glanced at Fan Dongcheng fiercely, and whispered: "How come there are internal guards around him!"
Fan Dongcheng looked innocent and said at a loss: "I don't know..."
Miss Zhao took several deep breaths before she calmed down and stopped talking with a cold face.
Seeing Miss Zhao shaking her head, Shen Yi was not idle either. He waved to Qi Dayou.
Lieutenant Qi immediately stepped forward, half-crouched in front of Shen Yi, and said, "Master Shen, are you out of the way?"
Shen Yi shook his head, and then said slowly: "I can't die."
He looked at Qi Dayou and said: "Brother Qi, please ask someone to inform Eunuch Gao, saying that I was beaten up by the Zhao family and they were brutally beaten."
Several servants of the Zhao family did treat Shen Yi cruelly. If Qi Dayou and others did not come, Shen Yi would have to lie in bed for at least a month or two to recover.
Captain Qi immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, we will report the situation here truthfully."
Seeing that Shen Yi closed his eyes and said nothing, Qi Dayou hesitated and asked: "Master Shen, are you going to send someone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to inform Mr. Zhao?"
They, the inner guards, had been following Shen Yi, so they naturally knew that Miss Lu came from Zhao Shilang's house.
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "I want to inform a minister, but not Minister Zhao."
He looked at Qi Dayou, then pointed at Fan Dongcheng and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qi, this man is the nephew of Fan Shilang of the Ministry of Justice. Send someone to the Ministry of Justice..."
