Chapter 77: The Son of an Old Woman, the Rebellion in Renzhengfang
"Who died last night?"
Sui Feng was shocked, and knew that he must have made the Lord unhappy just now, so he praised wildly: "Sir, you are really good at predicting things——"
Yu Qiansi's glare made him swallow the rest of the good words alive.
He answered honestly: "Wu Lin died in Chongrenfang."
Yu Qiansi looked at his hunched-up expression, as if Shang Fu had done something wrong and was worried about being scolded.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She shouldn't have allowed Shang Fu to make jokes with them every day, and each of them became more and more incompetent in speech and behavior.
When you get back today, ask someone to put a notice at the door of the Punishment Department. From now on, that person will never step foot into the Punishment Department again!
"How is the situation at Jinwu Guard?"
Boyi had delayed for so long last night, but they didn't come. He could still let the murderer carry the two of them into Dunhuafang and throw them here. She wouldn't believe it if Jinwu Guard was innocent.
She sent a signal, but did not receive a response and disappeared all night again.
Yaoguang will definitely notice something is wrong. Based on his efficiency, the interrogation should have been completed by now.
"Yaoguang captured an entire team of Jinwu guards who were patrolling there last night. They said..."
He secretly glanced at Yu Qiansi and shouted in his heart: Bitter!
If you say it, you will definitely get scolded. If you don't say it, you will get scolded.
Suifeng closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He was ready to fight!
He said in one breath: "They said it was because the person leading the team placed a bet and followed you to bet that you would lose, so they arrived a little late..."
After saying that, the Wuya guards all lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter, but they were afraid of angering their masters, so they all suppressed their faces with red ears.
Boyi was not afraid, he was the first to make a "poof" sound, and then burst into laughter. Then everyone started laughing.
Yu Qiansi also felt ridiculous, the pear vortex became shallower and deeper.
In the end, he couldn't help it and smiled bitterly.
She thought she would be famous all her life, but she ended up in this gutter.
Or was it the sewer that I smashed down with a copper plate?
but......
She gradually stopped laughing and looked back at the cavernous entrance to the cellar.
Now that she had seen the whole mess, it was time to untie the first knot.
Turning around to face the crowd again, she had completely regained her former look.
He raised his hand and said, "Burn this temple down for me!"
The Wuya guards have long been accustomed to obeying Yu Qiansi's words.
Anyway, they are not as smart as Lord Si Yin. If they are expected to think too hard, they might as well just close their eyes and listen to her.
Listen to her, she's right!
Boyi hesitated a little, tugged on Yu Qiansi's sleeve, and asked: "This... murder and arson in broad daylight, isn't it good?"
She didn't answer, she just narrowed her eyes into two crescents and smiled brightly.
Boyi's vest went cold and he silently loosened the corners of her sleeves.
It’s this smile again, I don’t know who is going to suffer this time...
A team of Wuya Guards took the order and left, but within a short time they returned with a full load. They found a lot of kerosene from nowhere, and began to splash it everywhere with great ease.
Look at them holding the oil altar and shaking it slightly, making dragons fly and snakes dance. They are so skillful in their techniques that they must be habitual offenders...
After everything was arranged, Sui Feng handed over the torch: "Master Si Yin, are you coming?"
The jade smile is like a dew-covered oleander, pure and beautiful, with a certain degree of toxicity.
She slowly took the torch, and the firelight reflected on her face, which was charming and tinged with poison.
She had time to approach a piece of kerosene and waved the torch.
I don't know who he said loudly: "You must have heard about my temper. If you don't show up, I will really dare to set fire to you."
Boyi and Suifeng were both shocked when they heard this, and quickly became alert.
As smart as they were, they didn't notice anyone here at all.
As he watched the torch get infinitely closer to the starting point of the kerosene, a strong male voice interrupted anxiously.
"stop!"
Boyi and Sui Feng rose up and attacked at the same time, heading towards the direction of the sound.
But the man stood there and surrendered.
Suifeng turned him to Yu Qiansi, still wondering in hindsight: "This kung fu is not very good, how come you didn't notice it?"
How frustrating.
Yu Qiansi had just pushed him down to the cellar, which was considered a slap in the face to Sui Feng, but now he resorted to his old trick and "passed a candy".
He comforted: "I don't blame you. We haven't had a good rest these past few days, so naturally we are not as alert as before."
Seeing Sui Feng laughing silly again, he turned around and looked at the man in front of him.
He is tall and slender, with dark complexion. He has a hooked nose and blue eyes. But he speaks authentic Mandarin.
"You are the son of the late Men Dou, right?"
The soles of his shoes were stained with mud, the corners of his robes were exposed, and they were dusty. He must have seen the location of Boyi's signal and had just come from his hiding place outside the city.
What? Didn’t the old woman’s son commit a crime and is already dead?
The soul longing for bizarre stories was ignited, and I pricked my ears with the wind, listening with special concentration.
Yu Qiansi sighed: "Although I know the possibility is unlikely, I still ask as usual. Is there anything you would like to tell me?"
Active confession and passive confession are the difference between Suifeng and Yaoguang's reception in the Criminal Division.
The calm blue eyes were like a sea of sea, and the owner of the sea did not say a word.
"Suifeng, lead a team of people to escort him back to the Criminal Division."
The remaining people followed me to Renzhengfang.
Although Shang Fu drank too much at the time, he still remembered the knowledge he had learned in the storybook. He immediately sent people to inform Wannian County and found people to surround Renzhengfang.
But Renzhengfang is not an ordinary place. There are many dignitaries living here. When I woke up early in the morning, I found that I was under house arrest by people from Dali Temple, which was even ridiculous. And those who went to court in the morning and could not return home after leaving the court could not
I feel this move is unreasonable.
But Shang Fu was indeed ordered to assist in the investigation and handling of the case, and he was one of the most shameless people in the capital. They were so angry that two groups of people inside and outside pointed at Shang Fu's nose and cursed him.
When Yu Qiansi arrived, he saw Shang Fu fighting with the Confucian scholars in a three-way melee. What was even more surprising was that he was not at a disadvantage.
I just felt pity for those people from Dali Temple. They acted as a human wall to help my young minister to stop others. Instead, they became the punching bag of these nobles. They were beaten and pinched, and their lives were worse than death.
From afar, Shang Fu caught a glimpse of a brand-new red falcon costume, leading a team of black clad troops approaching. He felt that someone was supporting him, and he was overjoyed.
But when Yu Qiansi came closer, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face froze, a little embarrassed.
He drank too much and missed something last night... Lord Jade won't blame himself.
Because there was another beheading case in Renzhengfang and the fights with officials were bustling, more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, without any space to stand.
Yu Qiansi stood outside the crowd and sighed.
After clapping their hands, the Wuya Guards behind them lined up and held their swords without unsheathing them. They walked towards the crowd with neat steps.
Feeling the murderous intent behind them, the crowd immediately dispersed to both sides with a roar, leaving a passage.
Yu Qiansi passed by everyone safely and stood in front of the Dali Temple troops who still maintained their blocking actions.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the two people in front were filled with chills and subconsciously stepped aside.
