"Tsk, tsk, this Zhou has such a vicious heart. He actually wants to sell you to the underground competitive arena in the ghost market." Ji Yuer recounted the conversation between Zhou Jixiang and Secretary Geng to Luo Xing in the cell.
"Don't be anxious, settle the accounts slowly." Luo Xing's heart was as calm as stone. He had already seen the despicable nature of human nature, so there was nothing surprising about it.
"It's not a hurry. I poisoned you last night. I'll probably sell you to the ghost market tonight." Ji Yu'er said.
"I'm afraid he won't have this chance!"
…
"Zhou Jixiang, get out of here!" A crackling sound exploded in the sky above the Xicheng Branch of the Inspection Department, and a group of Tiqi rushed over.
The front and back doors of the Xicheng branch were blocked.
Even Ye Hongyi brought archers over. Not even a single person, not even a fly, could fly out of the courtyard of the Xicheng branch.
Zhou Jixiang swirled a sip of hot tea in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he spit it out: "Who is so bold and dares to call me by my official name?"
"Commander, it's not good, we are surrounded by Tiqi from Nanya!" A patrol inspector stumbled in and reported stammeringly.
"What, the Tiqi of Nanya surrounded our Xicheng branch, do they want to rebel?" Zhou Jixiang was furious. The Inspection Department is the imperial yamen. Surrounding and attacking the Yamen of the imperial court is like breakfast. Nanya Tiqi
No exception.
This is to accuse someone first and then talk about it.
"Chief Commander, what should I do?"
"Hurry up and report to the General Secretary." Zhou Jixiang has also seen strong winds and waves. No matter what happens, don't panic. You have to follow the procedures that need to be followed. This is Luojing. No matter how presumptuous Nanya is, don't dare to mess around, otherwise
, this is an act of rebellion.
"No one can get out!"
"You don't know how to use homing pigeons?"
"They have archers..."
"Wocao, what is Nanya trying to do? Who can tell me what's going on?" Zhou Jixiang was also confused.
"Commander, could it be the Captain of Nanyashu whom we detained yesterday?" At this time, Secretary Geng appeared tremblingly and reminded him.
"Isn't the news under control?" Zhou Jixiang's face looked quite ugly.
"There is news about Nanya in West City. I can't cover it up after a long time..."
Zhou Jixiang just wanted to make a time difference. Under normal circumstances, when someone from Nanya is lost, he at least writes a letter and comes to investigate. After three or five days of going back and forth, it will pass.
After the person is dealt with and there is no such person in the prison, what else can Nan Ya do to him?
Of course you can't do this unless necessary, but if you really want to do it, it doesn't matter. These days, which cell doesn't have people who are willing to die?
You, a little captain, ruined Mr. Su Xiaohou's good deeds. Isn't this asking for death? Everyone will be dead by then, and there will be no evidence of death. What can Nanya do to him?
But something went wrong as expected. Nanya not only got the news immediately, but also came to the door with great fanfare. What made Zhou Jixiang's scalp numb the most was that Wuning Hou Ye Hongyi came in person.
The Grand Governor of Nanya, who was going home to raise his grandson in a few days, actually ordered the Xicheng Branch of the Inspection Department to be surrounded because of a little Captain.
Who is this guy? He deserves Ye Hongyi to do this!
Zhou Jixiang was a little panicked.
The script shouldn't be like this.
"Zhou Jixiang, should you get out on your own, or should I raise my sword and fight in?" Since Ye Hongyi decided to make a big fuss, he naturally didn't care about anything.
Anyway, he was being reasonable this time and there was a reason for everything.
If Ye Hongyi, the Grand Governor of Nanya, Wu Ninghou, were to rush into the Xicheng branch, Zhou Jixiang, the head of the Xicheng branch, would probably be in trouble.
He quickly adjusted his official robe and ran out of the branch door.
"My lower official Zhou Jixiang came to see the Marquis. I wonder what the Marquis wanted to do by setting up such a large formation to besiege the Xicheng Branch of our Inspection Department?" After Zhou Jixiang bent down to salute, he straightened his back and was not afraid to question.
.
"Capture the rebellious Inspector Zhou Jixiang and others from Xicheng Branch!" Ye Hong said with a sneer.
"The Marquis is responsible for what he said. We have worked hard to serve the court. When did we become rebels?" Zhou Jixiang was also angry. Rebellion is a serious crime, and it will be punished by the Yi tribe.
"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, what is it if it's not treason?" Ye Hongyi asked coldly.
"Master Marquis, do you have any evidence to accuse a subordinate of collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Zhou Jixiang was completely angry. This charge was too big. Even if the other party was the governor of Nanya and a member of the royal family, he would not let the other party frame him at will.
"I, the First Lieutenant of Nanya, was secretly investigating a case of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but was arrested by the Xicheng Branch of your Inspection Department on the pretext of 'beating others', and even important witnesses related to this case were released. You said,
I am wrong in saying that you are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Ye Hongyi put on his big hat and gave Zhou Jixiang a blasting hammer. He had a red mouth and white teeth, which was eerie and terrifying.
Zhou Jixiang was stunned.
I almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
This was clearly a frame-up. The boy named Luo was not investigating the case. He was clearly shopping in the West Market, and he also bought women's supplies.
If this can be called an investigation, then it should be easy.
"Master Hou, our company did detain a Nanya Captain, but he did not say that he was investigating the case. Moreover, he was committing a murder at the time and was captured by our company. How did our company know about it?" Zhou Jixiang avoided the important matter and said lightly, "Mr. Hou.
I'm afraid they have other motives for going to war like this."
"How to commit murder?" Ye Liuli stepped out from the crowd, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked.
"Who is your lord?"
"Counselor Ye Li of the Nanya Intelligence Department, the person arrested by Division Zhou is his subordinate," Ye Liuli said.
Ye Li?
Zhou Jixiang couldn't help but be startled when he heard this name. In his impression, Nanya's counselor had never heard of this person, but he was a middle-level and senior manager of the Inspection Department. Naturally, he knew about Princess Ye Liuli's employment in Nanya. Could it be that Ye Li was Liuli?
Princess?
Zhou Jixiang suddenly felt a chill running up from his tailbone. A small captain had already been paralyzed by the governor of Nanya, and now there was a princess.
The sweat on his forehead could no longer be suppressed.
What is the origin of this boy that the Su family wants to kill?
"Counsellor Ye, the thing is like this. Our patrol department received a warning from a student from Jixia Academy, saying that someone had a dispute with his companions in Luoma Lane, Xishi City, and beat his companions in the street. The officer quickly ordered someone to arrest the person.
I brought him back to Wengui Yamen to learn the truth. The captain brother of Kegui Yamen said nothing, so he could only be detained temporarily. Today, I planned to go to Wengui Yamen, but I didn't expect that the Marquis would complain first and come to the door. It was really a bully.
Too many people!"
"Master Zhou's ability to sophistry is really amazing!" Ye Liuli said sarcastically, "You can say all the black things are white. No wonder you can sit at the head of the Xicheng Branch of the Inspection Department.
."
"My ability to hold this position is due to my ability and cultivation, not sophistry. Counselor Ye, even if you have a noble status, you cannot humiliate an official of the imperial court at will!" Zhou Jixiang said in a loud voice with inexplicable grief and anger.
"Shou Zhou, your acting talent is really good. It would be a pity not to sing." Ye Liuli sneered, "Do you dare to call both parties over and confront each other?"
"Why don't you dare?" Zhou Jixiang said. When things got to this point, he couldn't help but retreat. Taking a step back would lead to an abyss. If he stood firm, there might be a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly there was a commotion, and a large group of people came on horseback surrounded by an old man wearing a purple robe.
"Marquis Ye, why are you bringing people to our Xicheng branch for such a big battle?" Ming Jun also arrived with the inspection team at this moment.
"Mr. Ming." When Zhou Jixiang saw Mingjun, he quickly stepped forward to salute, but his heart became even more uneasy. Although Mingjun was the leader of the inspection department, he might not necessarily help him.
Moreover, Mingjun arrived so quickly, which also made him confused. It was much farther from Dongcheng to Xicheng than Nanya, and considering the time, unless they both set off at the same time...
And when Yehou came to Xicheng to launch an army to investigate, how could he inform Mingjun?
Unless, there is a possibility, they have negotiated.
My claws are numb...
Zhou Jixiang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave at this moment. He was being plotted against him. In order to help the Su family, he had trapped himself in it.
As a second-level martial artist, he actually felt dizzy at the moment.
"Chief Zhou, what happened? Please tell me what happened. I will make the decision with you." Mingjun glanced at Zhou Jixiang indifferently. This man is no longer qualified to stay in the Inspection Department.
.
"Ming Gong, I have something to say to you. Can you please lend me a moment?" Zhou Jixiang came forward and begged.
"The Inspection Department has always been fair and strict in handling cases, and I am also open-minded. If you have anything to say, say it in front of Ye Hou and many colleagues in Nanya. If Ye Hou dares to frame you and the Xicheng Branch, I will dismiss the case.
Even when I am in front of the emperor, I will make the decision for you!" Mingjun expressed his stance in public, appearing to support Zhou Jixiang.
This week Jixiang was dumbfounded.
"Ming Gong, this suffering master is the son of the Yun family in Danzhou..."
"What happened to Danzhou Yunshi? When did the Inspection Department need to look at Yunshi's face to act?" Mingjun scolded.
"Ming Gong, Nanyaluo Captain beat the students of Jixia Academy in the street. This was witnessed by many people!" Zhou Jixiang said eagerly.
"Is he alone?" Mingjun asked.
Zhou Jixiang suddenly stopped and asked, how could he not be clear about the rights and wrongs of this matter? Now he insists on turning the black into white and turning things upside down. He can forcefully distort the facts. Who is right and who is wrong? No one is a fool.
A group of people were beaten up by one person, and they lost the fight. Not only was they humiliated, but they also colluded with the inspection department to frame people and put them in jail. This is simply breaking the bottom line.
"yes."
"Why did they dispute and then fight?" Mingjun asked again.
"This..." Zhou Jixiang never thought that someone would ask him this, so he simply didn't make up a decent reason for this matter.
"It turns out that this is how the Inspection Department investigates cases. This is really an eye-opener for me!" Ye Hongyi sneered.
Everyone in Nanya was furious. Today it was Luo Xing, but tomorrow any one of them might have suffered the same fate.
Especially Qingyi's subordinates, those Tiqi who had established initial friendship with Luo Xing, were filled with indignation.
"Zhou Jixiang, how do you explain?"
"I'm wrong. I was just confused and misunderstood. Please punish me!" Zhou Jixiang knew that if he tried hard, he would suffer a loss. He could still shirk the blame now, and he could bear no more than an oversight.
Otherwise, it’s not a big problem.
"Someone is coming!"
Four iron guards appeared in front of Zhou Jixiang.
When Zhou Jixiang looked at the four of them, his expression suddenly changed. This was the patrol inspector Tiewei. Once the Tiewei took action, something major would happen.
"Take down Zhou Jixiang, who colludes with outsiders, practices favoritism, and commits corruption and perversion of the law!" Ming Jun ordered.
"Ming Gong, how dare you? Your Majesty personally appointed me as a subordinate, so you have no right to arrest me!" Zhou Jixiang's expression changed drastically. He never expected that things would turn out like this.
"Take it. If there is resistance, kill on the spot!" Mingjun was not afraid of his threat. The purpose of his coming today was to bring a change to the Xicheng branch.
