"I am the commander of the Zhenwu Division, get out of the way!" Qin Wei shouted to the people in Dali Temple.
Lu Tong is useless as the governor of Shuntian, so he will have no choice but to use his own identity.
He still didn't believe that these people from Dali Temple dared to stop him.
However.
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the County Prince!"
"I'll wait to see His Highness the County King!"
Upon hearing this, the green-robed official quickly bowed his hands and saluted. At the same time, he motioned to the government officials to put down their crossbows.
"I'm currently investigating the crime scene. Please wait a moment, Your Highness!"
The official's attitude improved a lot, but he still had no intention of letting Qin Wei and others go up the mountain.
"This king wants to go up the mountain to investigate the case, please get out of the way!" Qin Wei said in a deep voice.
"Sorry, Your Highness the Prince! No one is allowed to disturb Dali Temple when they are investigating the case!" said the green-robed official.
Qin Wei's expression moved slightly, and he looked at the middle-aged official in front of him thoughtfully.
"Who are you and what position do you hold?"
"Go back to your highness, the Prince. Your subordinate is Song Yan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. The Lord of the Temple is investigating the case on the mountain!" Song Yan said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Qin Wei looked at him deeply, and then looked towards Yunyan Sect.
Interesting!
People from Dali Temple even wanted to stop him!
Did Dali Temple not know that the Zhenwu Division had the authority to investigate the case?
Or does Dali Temple think that he, the commander of the Suppressing Forces Division, is irrelevant?
Or maybe this Dali Temple wants to cause trouble?
If Song Yan dares to be so ignorant, there must be someone behind him.
Otherwise, he, a sixth-grade temple minister, would dare to stop Qin Wei, unless he didn't want to live anymore.
Do you think I won't be violent, or am I deliberately hiding something?
Qin Wei was thinking in his heart.
His eyes gradually became colder.
"Take it!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and Song Yan's expression changed.
"Your Highness, what does this mean?"
Clang Clang Clang!
The sword came out, and a chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
Iron Shou didn't care what official position Song Yan held. As long as Qin Wei gave the order, they would take action without hesitation.
Dozens of soldiers from the Zhenwu Division swarmed forward and handed over their weapons without giving these Dali Temple officials a chance to resist.
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate!" Lu Tong deliberately wanted to persuade Qin Wei.
Qin Wei shook his head at him, said nothing, strode forward, and directly entered the mountain gate of Yunyan Sect.
"Who are you?"
"stop!"
There were many officials and government servants from Dali Temple in the Yunyan Sect. When they found out that Qin Wei and others had barged in, they all started shouting angrily.
"The Zhenwu Division is handling the case, and anyone who dares to obstruct it will be regarded as an accessory!"
"Watch them, if anyone dares to make any move, kill them immediately!"
Qin Wei said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers from the Zhenwu Division rushed in, pointing their cold blades at the officials and government servants of Dali Temple.
At this time, there were corpses all over the ground in Yunyan Sect, and dark red bloodstains were everywhere. Even the mountain wind could not disperse the smell of blood.
"His Royal Highness the County King!"
At this moment, an official in red robe walked quickly.
The person who came was none other than Jiang Yuan, the minister of Dali Temple.
"I pay my respects to His Highness the County Prince!"
Jiang Yuan saluted with a calm expression, without any hint of nervousness.
"Why did you prevent the Zhenwu Division from coming to investigate the case?" Qin Wei asked.
"Dali Temple has the right to review serious criminal cases." Jiang Yuandao.
"What I'm asking is why you blocked the Zhenwu Division from investigating the case!"
Qin Wei's eyes were like swords, and he looked at Jiang Yuan sharply.
"The lower official did not stop the Zhenwu Division from investigating the case!" Jiang Yuan naturally would not admit it. He looked up at Qin Wei with a determined look in his eyes.
But in Qin Wei's opinion, he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Without the order of Jiang Yuan, the minister of Dali Temple, Song Yan, a small minister, dared to stop him as a prince. Isn't this a joke?
Is Song Yan out of his mind, or is he really not afraid of death?
At this time, Jiang Yuan didn't feel any fear or panic in his heart.
Qin Wei was right. It was Jiang Yuan's intention to prevent Zhenwu Si from going up the mountain. There were many reasons.
The power to investigate serious criminal and prison cases has always been one of the most important powers of Dali Temple, especially the power to investigate cases related to folk martial arts forces, and it is an important means for Dali Temple to intervene in folk martial arts forces.
The establishment of the Zhenwu Division will take away Dali Temple's right to investigate cases, so Dali Temple will naturally not let it go easily.
That's why Jiang Yuan ordered to prevent Zhenwu Si from going up the mountain.
Of course, this was only one of the reasons why he stopped Zhenwu Si. In addition, there were two other reasons why he had to stop Zhenwu Si from going up the mountain.
The first is the involvement of Yunyan Sect and Dali Temple. He must destroy certain things that should not exist before Zhenwusi goes up the mountain.
As for the second reason, it is the instruction of certain people.
The combination of these reasons allowed Jiang Yuan to risk offending Qin Wei and prevent Zhenwu Si from going to the mountain to investigate the case.
He is not afraid of offending Qin Wei. After all, he is considered an important minister in the court. Although Qin Wei is the king of the county, it does not make him afraid.
Qin Wei looked at him deeply. At this time, he didn't know what Jiang Yuan wanted to do, but he felt that Jiang Yuan must have an ulterior purpose.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Capture Lord Jiang Yuan together and bring them back to the Zhenwu Division later."
Qin Weidao.
"Here!"
Iron Hand responded.
"etc!"
"Your Majesty, the Zhenwu Division should not have the power to arrest officials!"
Jiang Yuan stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and said calmly.
Qin Wei smiled, "Do you think that this king dare not touch you?"
"His Royal Highness the County Prince has no right to arrest officials!" Jiang Yuan said as if he had the wisdom in his mind.
Without the approval of Emperor Li, no yamen in the court had the right to arrest an important official of the court.
Qin Wei shook his head slightly, "Death is imminent and you don't know it yet!"
"You seem to have forgotten something."
"What happened?" Jiang Yuan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Qin Wei grinned and raised the Qiushuang Sword in his hand.
"The Zhenwu Division has the right to kill first and report later. This is the imperial power's special permission."
"Don't say that you are just a minister of Dali Temple. Even if you are a cabinet bachelor, I can still arrest you first, torture you, and then convict you."
He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward slowly, "When the case is fully investigated, you will be charged as an accessory or accomplice."
"You are making a false accusation!" Jiang Yuan suddenly became anxious.
Although he intended to prevent the Zhenwu Division from investigating the case, he did not participate in the Yunyan Sect's extermination.
Qin Wei said with a smile: "You have been in charge of Dali Temple for many years, don't you still know the methods of investigating cases?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"
He patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder.
Jiang Yuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Framed!
This is the most commonly used method in Dali Temple.
He never thought that this method would be used on himself one day.
"Put it down!"
Several soldiers from the Zhenwu Division immediately took Jiang Yuan into custody, and at the same time, all officials and government servants from Dali Temple were also disarmed.
After everything was handled, Iron Hand began to investigate the crime scene.
There were more than 300 people in the Yunyan Sect, all lying on the ground in a mess. Judging from the crime scene, a fierce battle must have taken place here.
"Who reported the case?" Qin Wei asked Lu Tong.
"The villagers at the foot of the mountain!"
"They are just villagers who provide food for Yunyan Sect. They went up the mountain carrying food early this morning. They found that the entire Yunyan Sect was in a mess, so they reported the case to Shuntian Mansion."
Lu Tong explained.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, "Who do you think did it?"
Lu Tong pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Without evidence, I dare not make random guesses."
Qin Wei chuckled, "There are many people in Kyoto who can achieve this, but not many can do such a thing."
"If I guess correctly, this should be for our Zhenwu Division."
"Impossible! The collapse of the Yunyan Sect should have nothing to do with the Zhenwu Division." Lu Tong said.
Qin Wei looked at the majestic pavilions and palaces of the Yunyan Sect and rubbed the hilt of the Qiushuang Sword with his fingers.
"With the collapse of the Yunyan Sect, who in Kyoto is the most suspicious?"
"This~" Lu Tong frowned, his eyes filled with shock.
"Zhenwu Si!"
"Haha~~" Qin Wei chuckled, "Yes, it's the Zhenwu Division."
"The Zhenwu Division has destroyed Fenxiang Pavilion before, so the next step must be the three major sects, and I do have plans to attack the Yunyan Sect."
"Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhenwu Si wants to take action against the three major sects. Now that Yunyan Sect has been wiped out, everyone will think that it was Zhenwu Si's doing."
Qin Wei has always had the idea of destroying the three major sects, but he just hasn't had time to take action yet.
However, Zhenwusi taking the initiative and Yunyan Sect being exterminated are two completely different concepts.
If the Zhenwu Division takes the initiative, they will definitely produce enough evidence to prove the Yunyan Sect's guilt, and then arrest everyone in the Yunyan Sect with great fanfare, and will definitely not go on a killing spree secretly.
The purpose of doing this by the mastermind behind the scenes should be to give the Zhenwu Division an impression of breaking the rules.
The Zhenwu Division is a court bureau, not a gangster force. Everything must be done with evidence and rules. Therefore, the Zhenwu Division can do things with great fanfare, but cannot do things secretly.
What's more, if the folk martial arts forces in Kyoto take over and the Yunyan Sect is destroyed, what will happen to the other sects?
If they believe that this was done by Zhenwu Si, they will definitely fight against Zhenwu Si.
When life and death are at stake, the martial arts forces' methods will become more fierce and insidious.
