I think you are very brave. You came here in the middle of the night to invite me to the Ministry of War, and you didn’t even have a reason!"
Muchuan lost his temper and spoke in a bad tone.
After all, there was a legal system in the Tang Dynasty. Muchuan's official position was higher than that of Zhao Xiong. No matter how arrogant Zhao Xiong was, he could not do anything to him.
At this time, Zhao Xiong knew that he could not force himself, so he took a step forward, lowered his voice and whispered: "Sir, I hope you don't embarrass me, it's not that I want to arrest you... I also obeyed the order from above.
.”
Above?
Isn’t Zhao Xiong’s boss the Minister of War?
Lin Yishan, Minister of the Ministry of War, is really good. If a tiger doesn't show its power, then it's just a sick cat.
"Go and tell the Minister of War that because of his official position, he is not qualified to summon me! Tell him to get out of here!"
Muchuan refused without any politeness.
After all, Muchuan and the Minister of War are on the same level. If the other party sends a servant to ask Muchuan to go, he will go. That would be very shameless for him.
Now Zhao Xiong was in a dilemma. It was difficult to disobey the orders given by the Minister of War, but he did not dare to contradict Muchuan. He was so entangled that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a tall and thin soldier ran out and whispered in Zhao Xiong's ear: "Master Zhao, Master Lin... If the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is unwilling to cooperate, we will take him away by force. If the emperor blames him afterwards, he will be the one responsible for it."
We can bear it.”
"Yeah?
Master Lin really said this?"
"That's right, a villain would never dare to lie to an adult!"
Suddenly Zhao Xiong felt confident. He received the order from the Minister of War to invite Muchuan back, but he was also afraid of offending Muchuan and causing trouble.
Now that Lin Yishan, Minister of the Ministry of War, is willing to bear the responsibility, even if something goes wrong, it can't be blamed on Zhao Xiong, right?
"I'm sorry, Master Mu, my Master Lin said that I have to ask you to go back no matter what means you use!"
After speaking, Zhao Xiong ordered the soldiers to take him away directly.
Things suddenly got worse. Muchuan still wanted to use his official position to suppress Zhao Xiong, but unexpectedly he couldn't suppress him anymore.
When Heishan and the other guards saw that the soldiers were holding Muchuan down, they immediately became anxious.
"Master Mu, we are here to rescue you!"
Heishan shouted, and then he led his guards and rushed forward, intending to fight the soldiers.
These guards were really loyal, which made Muchuan admire them with admiration.
It's just that the guards rushed up to them just to die. Muchuan immediately stopped them: "Heishan, all of you, stop! Don't conflict with people from the Ministry of War!"
"grown ups……"
"Follow orders!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Heishan then led the other guards to retreat.
As for Muchuan?
Naturally, he followed Zhao Xiong and others to the Ministry of War. He wanted to see what Lin Yishan wanted to do.
However, after being taken back by Zhao Xiong and other military personnel, Muchuan did not see Lin Shangshu, but was locked in a woodshed instead!
The woodshed was dilapidated, with spider webs on the ceiling. Apart from the firewood, there was only a dusty four-legged stool inside!
Muchuan sat on a stool, feeling the cold wind blowing from the iron window, and his heart was racing.
What does Lin Yishan mean?
They invited Muchuan over but didn't ask any questions and just locked him up like this! It's really irritating!
Time passed, and early the next morning, it was the official residence of the Minister of War.
In the main hall of the main hall, Lin Yishan, Minister of the Ministry of War, was sitting on the Taishi chair, eating noodles and drinking tea, very leisurely.
Next to Lin Yishan, it was Zhao Xiong.
Zhao Xionghui reported: "Sir, we have arrested the Minister of Household Affairs as you asked, and he is now detained in the firewood shed of the Ministry of War."
"Hehehe...how is Muchuan doing now?"
"It's very embarrassing. That woodshed is bone-chillingly cold every night, and there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. I'm afraid he didn't get a good night's sleep tonight."
"That's the best! That's the best! Let's see if Muchuan dares to go against me all day long!"
Lin Yishan exclaimed Shu Shuang!
Muchuan always confronted Lin Yishan in the morning court every day, and even delayed the payment of military expenses to the Ministry of War, which was really annoying.
Now that he can use some reason to clean up Muchuan, Lin Yishan is naturally happy.
However, Zhao Xiong was worried: "My lord... After all, this Muchuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If we detain him like this, the emperor must know about it, right?"
"Of course I know."
"Since we know this, wouldn't our Ministry of War be in trouble?"
Zhao Xiong looked panicked. After all, Muchuan was a popular person in the eyes of the emperor.
Lin Yishan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the emperor has approved this matter! After all, Muchuan has committed something and needs to be investigated. Our Ministry of War just received the order to go and investigate."
Something has been committed that requires investigation?
What did Muchuan commit?
Zhao Xiong was quite puzzled, but just when he wanted to continue questioning, Lin Yishan had already stood up.
"Okay, it's not too early, I have to go and meet Muchuan."
An hour later, Lin Yishan arrived at the official residence of the Ministry of War.
In the east main hall of the official residence, there are red wooden pillars and stone statues of tigers on both sides. Lin Yishan is sitting on a three-legged wooden chair, wearing an official robe, looking very majestic.
In contrast, Muchuan stood in the center of the hall. His clothes were covered in dust, his hair was unkempt, and his eyes were thick with dark circles. His limbs and arms were covered with red buds, which were obviously mosquito bites.
.
Seeing Muchuan's appearance, Lin Yishan couldn't help but chuckle.
Muchuan naturally saw Lin Yishan's dirty expression and couldn't help but said coldly: "Is Shangshu Lin so funny?
Do you know what you committed?"
"oh?
Don’t you know what I’ve done?”
"In the middle of the night, you detain your colleagues for no reason and bully them. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you have to fight for thirty years and be demoted to three levels! You are finished! I have to go to the Holy Master to testify against you!"
"Hahaha... It seems that you, Master Mu, are unaware of this. I am not detaining you without reason. I am following the Holy Spirit's instructions."
Muchuan was frightened when he heard that the emperor Li Shimin was going to detain him. What kind of nerve did Li Shimin get in the wrong way to actually come to punish him?
Later, I learned from what Lin Yishan said that it was Qin Qiong's family who went to Li Shimin to file a complaint yesterday, claiming that Muchuan maliciously injured Qin Qiong.
Li Shimin didn't know the details of the matter, so he sent Lin Yishan to conduct a thorough investigation.
After Muchuan heard this, he shouted in his heart that he was innocent, Liu Feishuang was really more unjust than Dou E!
The duel between Muchuan and Qin Qiong was a martial arts competition. Although he did beat Qin Qiong half to death, he did not do it on purpose. It was unthinkable that Qin Qiong's family would directly go to the Holy See to complain.
Okay, let’s just assume that Li Shimin wants to investigate thoroughly, but isn’t Lin Yishan going too far?
You actually threw Muchuan into the woodshed last night?
This is obviously an abuse of power and malicious torture.
Muchuan complained bitterly at this time, saying that Lin Yishan's investigation was illegal and against convention, and that he was suspected of torturing Muchuan.
