After the big fuss at the Baoyuan Inn, Huang Donglai and others followed Wu Juntou's team to the Nancheng Army and Horses Department.
This place, to put it simply, is responsible for public security.
In the capital, tasks such as patrolling thieves, dredging ditches, and even firefighting... are usually managed by the "Five City Military and Horse Divisions", and the Nancheng Military and Horse Division is the five "Southeast, Northwest, Central" Military Divisions
one of the.
Therefore, today, the operation of Wu Jun leader leading the team to arrest people at Baoyuan Inn, at least at first glance, seems to be no problem. It is his duty.
But if you insist on saying there is a problem, there is... The question is: did he "go after getting the message" or "go after getting the order".
If it's the former, that's no problem, but if it's the latter, then you have to ask again - whose order?
Is it the order from your immediate superior, or the order from Mr. Han Yuhan?
But when the question comes to this point, there is actually no need to ask any more.
Because if we dig deeper, someone will die.
The one who died was definitely not Han Yu, but the person who asked the question, or a certain scapegoat.
To put it bluntly, in 99.99% of cases, a powerful official like Han Yu will not be overthrown by "evidence".
Today, even if you persuade Wu Juntou to testify for you, and then take out the letter that Han Yu wrote in his own hand and asked Ma Xuansheng to hand it over, and there are witnesses and physical evidence, the result will be the same.
As a witness, it can be said that he was bribed by you, as for the physical evidence... Mr. Han is very talented and has been in the officialdom for so many years. Do you think he will "speak to death" in that letter? What about the letter?
The text must be clearly understood by the parties to be an "order" at a glance, but it is perfectly fine to call it a "message".
Therefore, even if someone really pursues this matter, it will not have any impact on him in the end.
This is why, in our previous article, Yun Shili, who had already learned many of Han Yu's secrets from "Yuwei Daxian", has not been able to do anything to Master Han until now.
When you see this, someone may want to ask, what is the other 0.01% situation?
I think many judges have already thought of this. If you can find something like a dragon robe and jade seal on the side of his bed... and there "happen" to be a lot of witnesses present, then you can still rely on the evidence of death alone.
Get him.
But this kind of thing is a fantasy, especially among the bureaucratic class that respects Confucianism and is attached to the imperial power. Basically no one would think about it. Those who would think about it are usually the emperor's relatives or common people.
It's a bit far-fetched...
We'd better go back to Huangdong and come to their side.
Huang Donglai, Linghuxiang, Qin Feng and Tyrell followed Wu Juntou because they believed that they were just going to the Yamen to "question".
At the beginning, they really didn't think much about it.
Although they had already learned through the loud discussions of some guests in the inn that the young man next to Wu Juntou was the "future prince-in-law" Ma Xuansheng, and that he was Ma Er's brother, Ma Xuansheng's
The performance of "killing relatives for justice" successfully confused them and made them feel that there was no danger.
However, on the way to the Yamenmen, I was blown by the cool night breeze...
The alcohol that everyone had accumulated during the meal had dissipated a bit, and the blood energy from the fight had also dropped...
At this time, the thought flashed through Huang Donglai's mind: "Could this Prince Consort just put on a show in front of everyone to maintain his image, and then turn around?"
Just let my brother go, and then arrest the rest of us?"
Although his worries were logical, they were not entirely correct.
Ma Xuansheng was indeed acting to protect his image, but he did not intend to let his brother go, but really wanted to "kill relatives for justice" to avoid future troubles. He did not just want to arrest Huang Donglai and the others.
Instead, he wanted to kill them and "avenge his brother."
Of course, Brother Huang is not sure about this morbid logic, and he doesn't blame him.
At least Huang Donglai has understood that this trip may contain dangers and has become wary. This is very important...
The whole journey was silent.
At the end of the day, the four of them finally arrived at their destination and were taken to a room to rest for a while.
Wu Juntou told them that this place is an important place for the government and they are not allowed to wander around, so he asked them not to leave the room, and someone would come to ask them later.
On the surface, Huang Donglai remained calm and agreed, but as soon as the other party came out, he lowered his voice and began to talk to the three people around him: "I said, I don't feel right."
Qin Feng continued: "Yes, Brother Huang, I also vaguely feel that... we have thought too simply about the consort."
"Yes, that's right." Linghu Xiang also said, "Having just walked halfway, I felt that we might have been fooled, but there are always officers and soldiers around, so it's not convenient for me to tell you."
I have to say that these three are now somewhat of a veteran.
There are many things that you know or see through, but you can hold back... This is called Chengfu.
Tyrell didn't have as many people as the three Central Plains people, and only when he heard this did his expression change: "Ah? What? Did we fall into a trap?"
"Don't panic." Huang Donglai waved his hand, "It's not certain yet. Anyway, the other party has not turned against us yet. It is also possible that the other party really just came to ask us..." He paused, "But we have to
Be prepared, if the other party wants to harm us, they are probably outside discussing how to deal with us at this moment."
"Hmm..." Qin Feng thought for a while and then continued, "Maybe the prince-in-law has untied his brother now and has learned from him that the four of us are good at martial arts. Then what happens next?"
...80% of them are going to be poisoned or secretly shot, right?"
"I think so." Linghu Xiang also said, "Anyway, we have already arrived at their place. As long as they can successfully kill the four of us and silence us, they will make up any reasons at will... For example, falsely accusing the four of us of being here.
This 'official place' has evil intentions..."
"Hey! You are right." Just as the three of them were saying these words, Tyrell had already walked around the door of the room, looked at the situation outside the door through the crack in the door, and came back, "Outside the door
There are already several people guarding it, and it seems they don’t want us to leave.”
"Tch..." Qin Feng heard this and said in a rather unhappy tone, "At first glance, I thought the prince-in-law was a good person, but it turns out he is not a family of officials and bandits. It's really annoying..." He curled his lips and touched his hand.
When it came to the sword, "In my opinion, just rush out. With our martial arts, we can't stop them."
"Well..." Huang Donglai said in deep thought, "It's possible, but this time, we have to 'take action first'. Later, they will launch a wanted manhunt for us in the city or even the country... although it may not affect us.
It’s a reputation in the world, but from now on we’ll have some inconvenience traveling around the world.”
"What should we do?" Linghu Xiang asked.
"The best thing is... to find a way to escape without using force." Huang Dong said, already thinking about it.
…………
A few minutes later.
Snapped--
Huang Donglai opened the door from inside the house neatly and walked out in a big way.
Beside him was Linghu Xiang.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?" The officers and soldiers outside the door were on guard at this time. When they saw them coming out, five people immediately surrounded them.
A few feet behind these five people, there are more than a dozen people pretending to be guarding elsewhere or patrolling, but they are actually staring here. It's hard to say how many people are waiting in the dark.
"Ha..." At this moment, Huang Donglai smiled slightly, raised his Dantian Qi, and replied loudly, "We want to poop!"
These five words, in this dark night, in the empty courtyard, were simply resounding through the sky. Wu Juntou and Ma Xuan, who were discussing countermeasures elsewhere, could hear clearly.
"Uh...this..." When the gatekeeper heard this, he was also embarrassed.
What do you want him to do? Let them go, but Wu Juntou has ordered these people to be "watched to death"; if you don't let them go, you have to give a good reason, right?
"The military...the military leader has an order, you can't barge in." After hesitating for a few seconds, the officer and soldier answered bravely. He just hoped that these words would make the other party go back to the room and hold it in for a while.
"What?" Huang Donglai's voice became louder now, "Did your military commander say that we won't even be allowed to use the toilet? That's unreasonable! We are not prisoners! Even if we are, prisoners still have toilets to use!"
While he was shouting, the figure of Wu Juntou had appeared from across the yard.
"Okay, okay, what are you shouting for in the middle of the night?" Obviously, Wu Jun heard Huang Donglai's yelling for the first time, and knew that his men might not be able to handle it, so he hurriedly came to deal with it himself, "Don't you just want to go to the latrine? I
Did I tell you not to let you go?" He said, gesturing to his men, "You guys, hold the lamp for the two young masters and lead them... lest they 'go the wrong way'."
His words sounded quite thoughtful, as if he had considered that Huang Donglai and Linghu Xiang did not bring torches and lanterns, so it would be inconvenient to go to the toilet at night, so they sent a few men to "carry lanterns to escort you to the toilet", but in fact
What he said was to let his subordinates continue to keep an eye on him to prevent the other party from slipping away.
"Okay, thank you." Huang Dong said, hugged Wu Jun's head, and then walked out with Linghu Xiang, and went to the toilet under the leadership of the "toilet escorts".
Wu Juntou watched them go away. Although his eyes were full of undisguised suspicion, he didn't say much. He just waited for them to go away and ordered his men to continue to keep an eye on the other two people in the room.
Left again.
Consistent with Huang Donglai's speculation, Wu Juntou was just discussing with Ma Xuansheng in another room how to "plot" against these four people.
The focus of their discussion was: how to make a "reasonable and legal" argument afterwards, and the key point was to succeed.
When seeing this, someone must ask, who are Ma Xuansheng and Wu Juntou? How dare they attack these four people? Don't they know who Brother Huang is?
I really don’t know...
Ma Xuansheng and Wu Juntou, one is a rich second generation from a local tycoon and has been determined to be in the government and the public since he was a child; the other is a native of the capital. Although he is only middle class, he has been a playboy since he was a child and has relied on his family's support as an adult.
Because of his connections, he managed to become a low-level police officer.
Many people like them from relatively well-off families are not very down-to-earth.
They are not like the common people at the bottom who like to talk about gossips and anecdotes as a daily entertainment activity, because they have many other entertainment activities to choose from on weekdays.
Talking about worldly affairs in their circle is like being in a place where everyone is talking about cars, watches, and elegant art. You are talking about video games and juvenile comics with gusto... It’s not that no one will pay attention to you, it’s just that
There are not many like Princess Qingzhen...
Of course, it stands to reason that Ma Xuansheng and Wu Juntou would not have much interaction with Jianghu figures.
We have mentioned this in the previous article. In Dashu, Jianghu Road is very taboo about direct conflicts with the government, especially in the capital. Therefore, in the years when Wu Jun was the head of the army, he rarely encountered people who had to take action against people in the Jianghu.
occasion.
If Ma Xuansheng and Wu Juntou had heard about who the "Hunyuan Star Gate" was and what they had done before today, they would never have dared to bring these four evil stars back and try to assassinate them.
Even more afraid to nod in agreement after hearing Huang Donglai and Linghuxiang's request to go to the toilet...
However, there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world.
Let's say that Wu Juntou went to the courtyard for a while, and when he returned to his room, he found that Ma Xuansheng was missing.
So where did he go?
Is this a coincidence? He also went to the toilet.
Because Ma Xuansheng got up early on weekdays, he was usually used to going to the toilet after dinner, but today at dusk he was called by Han Yu, and he has been busy until now... and forgot about it.
Now that I sat down, I thought it was okay if I didn't want to, but after hearing Huang Donglai's shout, Ma Xuansheng seemed to be reminded, and the feeling came over instantly.
After Wu Juntou left the room, Ma Xuansheng sat alone in the room. He originally wanted to endure it, but "just want" this thing... Once it comes, there will be huge waves one after another.
At that time, it was called an urgent matter.
So Ma Xuansheng couldn't wait for Wu Juntou to return, so he quickly picked up a lantern and walked quickly towards the toilet.
