The commotion on the street attracted the attention of passers-by, and soon countless people crowded over. Northern Han Dynasty was in trouble at home and abroad, and Taiyuan city was filled with victims fleeing from all directions. These victims could not find any jobs.
There was nothing to do except beg for food every day, so the news that the prison car was blocked and the officers of the Criminal Department were beaten in the street was like a gust of wind, and it quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
As the crowd became more and more crowded, people from the Eight Gate Inspection Department also got the news. The story of Three Men Becoming a Tiger is that if a person tells you that a tiger is coming on the street, run away for your life. Maybe you will laugh it off.
Soon a second person will tell you the same thing, and you will be half-convinced. If a third person tells you that there are tigers on the street with a panicked expression, everyone will probably believe it.
When the news about Liu Ling's blocking of the prison car reached the Eighth Inspection Division Yamen, hundreds of black-clad and masked experts had robbed the prison car. Countless officials from the Criminal Department had been killed and injured!
This news reached the Eighth Gate Inspection Department, and the Eighth Gate Admiral Yue Qilin broke out in a cold sweat. No matter how small the Northern Han Dynasty was, and no matter how chaotic the world was, Taiyuan City was also the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, and it was also under the emperor's feet.
The case simply deserves the words "earth-shattering."
After Yue Qilin received the report from his subordinates, he suddenly broke into sweat. Fortunately, he was born in the army and had fought in the north and south. He was not at a loss after hearing the sudden change. He took two deep breaths and his face calmed down.
"Come here! Gather all the soldiers in the yamen and follow me to the place where the accident happened to arrest the serious criminals!"
"Here comes someone! Report it to the Ministry of War immediately and ask the troops from the Gyeonggi Camp to assist in arresting the person!"
"Li Rang, go to the Ministry of Punishment in person and tell Master Sima that all the people from our Eight Inspection Departments have been dispatched, and please ask him to send people there immediately!"
Li Rang is the deputy admiral of the Eight Gate Inspection Department. This person was promoted by Yue Qilin. When he was fighting against the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty in the south, Yue Qilin was a captain of thousands, and Li Rang was just one of his soldiers.
.In a battle with the soldiers and horses of Sun Xuandao, the famous commander of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Yue Qilin was seriously injured. It was Li Rang who carried him on his back and killed a way out among thousands of troops, and Yue Qilin saved his life.
After that, Yue Qilin and Li Rang became sworn brothers with different surnames. Yue Qilin was six years older than Li Rang, so he was the second brother, and Li Rang was the third brother. Many people didn't understand how it could happen that these two people were sworn brothers.
How about calling them the second brother and the third brother? There is also a small episode in this, which only two brothers, Yue Qilin and Li Rang, know.
This can be regarded as a secret between the two brothers. The reason why Yue Qilin is the second brother and Li Rang is the third brother is because the eldest brother they worshiped when they became sworn brothers was Liu Ling!
Whether it was Yue Qilin or Li Rang, the person they admired most was the general Wang Liu Ling who led them to fight Sun Xuandao's army at the southern border! Although Liu Ling was older than both of them
Small, but this does not prevent them from respecting Liu Ling! When they were in the south, Liu Ling led them to escape from death so many times, and how many times they defeated more with less, they can no longer remember. They only remember Liu Ling's opponent.
The sergeant's love and care for the brothers!
Although Yue Qilin and Li Rang both felt that they were not worthy of Liu Ling in terms of status or character, this could not stop their inner impulse to recognize Liu Ling as their eldest brother. Therefore, when they became sworn brothers, they secretly
Adding Liu Ling to the mix, the two of them would secretly call Liu Ling their eldest brother.
Since Liu Ling was captured in Tianlao, the military commander in the south has also changed. The two brothers suffered a lot of injustice on the southern border. Yue Qilin used all his savings over the years to manage the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, and then from the border
He was transferred back. Although being an admiral in the Eight Inspection Department is not as comfortable as being a captain in the military camp, it is still comfortable. After Liu Ling was imprisoned in Tianlao, the prince's close followers were in charge of the three armies. Their brothers were in the military camp.
The days were simply torturous.
The admirals and captains of the Eight Inspection Departments have the same level, but their powers are much greater. The security of Taiyuan City is decided by the Eight Inspection Departments. Although it is a bit trivial, it is really nothing under the emperor's feet.
Something big happened. Even though the victims poured into the capital in large numbers, nothing too worrying happened. But today, someone actually robbed a prison van in broad daylight. How could Yue Qilin not be alarmed!
The Eight-door Inspection Department is not affiliated with any of the six departments, but is its own yamen. It is similar to a modern police station, but it is not under the leadership of the Ministry of Punishment. This department has little power, and the exercise of its powers is limited to the capital, but it happens
There is no high-level departmental control, so let’s say the emperor directly controls it. The emperor generally doesn’t think much of such a low-level official as the Admiral of the Eighth Inspection Department.
The Eight Inspection Departments have a total of 800 officers, 16 yamen, four inspectors, one deputy governor, and one governor. All idle matters on weekdays are taken care of by the four inspectors and 16 yamen.
They take turns leading the team to inspect the eight gates. Lord Dutong is an official of the fifth rank. Although he is not a big official, he is still a person of status. Deputy Dutong is the lower rank of the fifth rank, which is equivalent to the fifth rank in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Yue Qilin led all the more than 200 remaining officers in the yamen and marched straight to where Liu Ling was. Far away, Yue Qilin saw that this section of the road was already blocked by ordinary people.
The officers of the Gate Inspection Department simply couldn't get through. Seeing the chaos ahead and making it difficult to get through, Yue Qilin felt anxious. Sitting on the horse and looking left and right, he couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him, and he didn't know that those bad guys had escaped.
No.
It's no wonder that Yue Qilin is impatient. Although the Eight-door Inspection Department is an independent yamen and is not subject to the control of the Ministry of Punishment. However, he is a humble admiral and cannot say anything in front of the emperor. If he really wants to take away the prisoners, the Ministry of Punishment will
Sima Lu, the minister, only needs to push the responsibility onto him, and the fifth-grade official uniform he bought with money will be stripped off.
"Come here, disperse the crowd. I'll take the thieves who robbed the prison van and hold them accountable!"
As soon as the admiral spoke, more than 200 patrol officers wearing bright red official uniforms and black cloaks immediately rushed forward. A barrage of sticks were struck, and the people surrounding the middle of the road were immediately beaten and ran away with their heads in their hands.
After some common people who couldn't dodge were knocked to the ground, two policemen came up and grabbed each other's hands and feet, and threw them directly to the roadside. After a chaotic beating with sticks, the onlookers immediately gave in.
There was a passage out.
Yue Qilin urged his mount and rushed forward. Behind him, a large group of red-clothed officers followed like a tide, and they looked quite menacing.
Yue Qilin urged his horse to arrive not far from the prison car. He saw a group of criminal officers wearing soap clothes standing there stupidly. Each of them was holding a weapon in his hand, and the few people surrounding him who were a little further away seemed to have been detained.
They looked like souls. These officers from the Criminal Department stood there as if they were rounding up prisoners, but more like soy sauce workers. Looking further away, I saw a few well-dressed and impressive people standing next to a prison car at the front.
At their feet lay a man wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Justice.
"Who dares to commit murder in broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor in the forbidden area of the capital, do you still have the law?"
Yue Qilin spoke very fluently in this scene and sounded quite upright. Moreover, he looked very majestic while sitting on the saddle bridge, with a solemn look on his face. From the scene, this man is at least not annoying, with thick eyebrows
He has big eyes and a dignified appearance. In addition, he has experienced life and death on the battlefield, and he has more or less murderous intent. He is wearing full armor and holding a three-pointed two-edged sword pointed at Liu Ling's chest.
Direction shouting.
At this time, Liu Ling was standing behind the prison car, and Yue Qilin could not see him. Huasanlang and Zhao Er were both in plain clothes, and they were far away from each other. In addition, they had not seen Yue Qilin for two years and could not see him for a while.
The two of them came. At this time, Liu Ling was about to ask Wang Xiaoniu, but who knew that when Liu Ling came over, this guy was so happy that he couldn't breathe and passed out. Liu Ling held down Wang Xiaoniu across the prison car.
, it took a long time for Wang Xiaoniu to wake up.
He rolled his eyelids twice and slowly opened his eyes.
"Wang Xiaoniu, can you still hold on?"
Liu Ling asked softly.
When Wang Xiaoniu heard someone asking someone in his ear, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed Liu Ling's hand, and said in a daze: "Save me! General Wang, save me, I am not the prince and a rebel, I am Wang Xiaoniu, and Wang Xiaoniu is not a rebel!"
I helped the General King! None of you can kill me!"
Liu Ling sighed. He could imagine how much torture Wang Xiaoniu suffered in prison. He held Wang Xiaoniu's hand and said, "Don't worry, no one can kill you as long as I am here."
Wang Xiaoniu held Liu Ling's hand tightly and said: "Those guys in the Criminal Department are not good people. They use good people to take the blame for bad people and beat them into submission!"
After saying this, Wang Xiaoniu rolled his eyelids and fainted again.
Wang Xiaoniu's voice was not loud when he said this, but it was like a thunder in Liu Ling's ears! "Those guys in the Criminal Department are not good people. They use good people to take the blame for bad people, and beat them into submission!" In Wang Xiaoniu's words
, he simply made a distinction between good guys and bad guys, but it was this simplicity that shocked Liu Ling's heart!
At this time, Yue Qilin arrived.
Hearing Yue Qilin's shouting, Liu Ling, who burst into anger because of Wang Xiaoniu's soft accusation, suddenly had a look in his eyes!
"Zhao Er, look who is so powerful!"
Zhao Er responded and strode forward. The dozens of officers from the Criminal Department separated on both sides, leaving an aisle for Zhao Er to walk through. Yue Qilin looked at Zhao Eryi
Walking towards him step by step, he suddenly felt that this person was very familiar. He opened his eyes and looked over carefully. The image of Zhao Erhe who was coming towards him gradually faded away.
Overlapping.
"How dare you! How dare you be rude in front of the Admiral?"
An officer from the Eighth Inspection Department stopped in front of Zhao Er and shouted loudly.
"Get away!"
Zhao Er said something with a cold face, without any intention of stopping. The officer's eyes turned cold, and he put his hand on the waist knife and tried to pull it out. The officer wanted to show off in front of the admiral, but who knew that the other party would not respond to his words at all?
Ignore him. As soon as he grits his teeth, he is about to draw his knife.
"stop!"
Yue Qilin suddenly shouted loudly.
He jumped off his horse and strode towards Zhao Er. As he walked, he asked loudly.
"Is that General Zhao in front of you?" (To be continued)
