I saw a middle-aged man wearing a second-grade official uniform walking straight in from the outside.
Seeing this person, Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly.
He has seen this person before.
It's just that Li Chengqian didn't know his name at that time.
Now, since he can come here to stop him, Li Chengqian can guess that this person is 100% Zheng Yongwang, the third roommate of the Zheng family.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and glanced at the other party: "Why, Inspector Zheng is also going to come and interfere?"
"Don't dare." .??.
"Your Highness is here to handle a case, how can a lower official commit such an act of arrogance..."
"I just don't know what kind of crime this Xia Zhixing has committed."
Zheng Yongwang said with a smile on his face: "The official has no other meaning in asking this. After all, the official is the inspector of Henan Province. Since it is an official below me who committed the crime, I naturally want to know the reason."
"Want to know the reason? Why should I tell you?"
Li Chengqian looked at Zheng Yongwang with a smile and said: "Now that I have finalized the case, you can just take a look at the file."
After speaking, he grabbed the case recorded by the clerk from the table, sealed it in an envelope with wax oil in front of Zheng Yongwang.
"It's just a bit unlucky that you came here. This file has just been sealed."
"I'm afraid you will have to wait until the file arrives in Chang'an to read it with my father."
Seeing his appearance, Zheng Yongwang was almost so angry that he lost his expression.
What does this guy mean?
Are you treating yourself like a fool?
{Received anger value +33 from Zheng Yongwang...}
Hearing the system prompts, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Yongwang, whose expression was starting to turn gloomy.
He sneered and said, "What? Mr. Zheng has any objections?"
Zheng Yongwang gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, no matter what, Xia Zhixing is also my subordinate. It is not very appropriate for you to deal with him like this." Is it suitable?"
"oh?"
Li Chengqian looked straight at Zheng Yongwang and said, "Master Zheng, you mean that I don't even have the power to deal with a corrupt county magistrate?"
"I dare not..."
Zheng Yongwang bowed slightly, then looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "I just hope that His Highness can enforce the law impartially."
"We cannot let the one-sided words of some people affect His Highness's judgment."
When he said this, his eyes slowly fell on Chai Jing's face.
Zheng Yongwang tilted his head and said: "If the official remembers correctly, in addition to being the orphan of the Chai family, this Chai Jing is also the robber who is currently famous in Jeju..."
"That's right."
Li Chengqian nodded directly and said: "He is the thief you call him."
"Then since he is the thief."
"Should Your Highness deal with the person who committed the crime first, and then deal with Xia Zhixing?"
Zheng Yongwang looked at Li Chengqian with an aggressive look.
Judging from his posture, he seemed to be fighting with Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was immediately offended by his words: "Master Zheng, you are really good at changing the subject."
"Now, what I'm talking about is Xia Zhixing's matter and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Li Chengqian glanced at Chai Jing and said: "Besides, Chai Jing is now my witness. If he is dealt with, who can come to give evidence?"
"If His Highness acts like this, then I really feel that His Highness is shielding this thief."
Zheng Yongwang's expression did not change: "If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will have some impact on His Highness's reputation."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening me?"
"How dare I threaten His Highness?"
Zheng Yongwang bowed to the ground again: "I just hope that His Highness can enforce the law impartially."
What about enforcing the law impartially? When he said this, he was threatening Li Chengqian.
"Enforce the law impartially? Well said."
Li Chengqian tilted his head and looked at Zheng Yongwang and said, "What do you think my king should do to enforce the law impartially?" ??
"Of course I was the first to deal with this criminal thief."
"After that, no matter whether Xia Zhixing is guilty or not, the lower officials will say nothing more."
He spoke openly.
It seemed that as long as Li Chengqian killed Chai Jing, he would stop talking nonsense.
But in fact, what can he do?
He was afraid that as soon as Li Chengqian killed Chai Jing, he would have to find ways to help Xia Zhixing reverse the case.
Moreover, if Li Chengqian is really crazy and kills Chai Jing.
There will only be countless troubles for him in the future, and I am afraid that all the common people in the world will have to stand up and poke his back.
Li Chengqian shook his head, stood up, and said: "What if I don't do this?"
"If that's the case..."
"Then I can't let His Highness take Xia Zhixing away no matter what I say."
When he said this, Zheng Yongwang straightened up and his face was full of indifference.
Not long after he finished speaking, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door.
Not long after, the open space in front of the government office was filled with people.
Judging from his posture, he seemed to be having a head-on confrontation with Li Chengqian.
Seeing this scene, a smile gradually appeared on Li Chengqian's face.
The corners of his mouth were raised high, he looked up at Zheng Yongwang and said: "Sometimes, I really don't want to be like you people."
"But as for you, you always think that I have no temper and am easy to bully. Anyone can step on me." One kick and one slap."
"But have you forgotten that no matter how bad I am, I am still the eldest prince of the dynasty, and I have also been on the battlefield and seen fighting."
Li Chengqian tilted his head and said: "If you want to play this trick with me, you are simply asking for your own death."
"I also know that Your Highness is powerful."
"So today we have a lot of people with us, and there are more than two hundred soldiers waiting outside."
"Including those in the courtyard, the total total is more than 300 people."
Zheng Yongwang smiled slightly and said: "However, when I tell His Highness these things, I am not threatening His Highness."
"I have never wanted to have a conflict with His Highness. I just don't want His Highness to chill his loyal ministers because of someone's one-sided remarks."
Although he said this a bit euphemistically.
But who doesn't understand what he means?
What he actually meant was that he was telling Li Chengqian, if you dare to touch Xia Zhixing today, I will prevent you from leaving Jingyang County.
"Okay, that's great."
"First, Huainan Road Inspector Shi Yantong colluded with the Yangzhou family to assassinate me."
"Later, you, Henan Province Inspector Zheng Yongwang, led the troops here to force me to reverse the case."
Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I proposed the post of inspector to my father back then."
"The original intention is to have someone who can supervise the officials in every department and make decisions for the people."
"Unexpectedly, I shot myself in the foot today..."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian stood up slowly: "Okay, I caught two big fish in one go, so my trip was worthwhile..."
Is Li Chengqian a person who is willing to be threatened?
Furthermore, with his brain, he can't imagine what the other party wants to do.
Just when he stood up, earth-shattering screams sounded outside.
The next moment, Li Tingxue, dressed in palace attire, walked in from the outside...
