"Hey, Master Prefect, wait a minute." Xiao Chen raised his hand and stopped Prefect Li Huaigu's decision to capture Qianhu Zhangping, "This Master Qianhu is right, Dongchang has supreme power when handling cases outside, but
Today's matter, in the final analysis, is still an internal matter of Baoding Prefecture itself."
"Sir?" Li Huaigu looked puzzled.
Now, what does Lord Ziyi want to do? One moment he said that the army must be run strictly, and then when he actually took action, he said that Dongchang was just an "outsider"?
Should he deal with the guards himself, or not?
"Haha." Xiao Chen chuckled, slowly stood up and walked to Qianhu Zhang Ping, "Master Qianhu reads the emperor's edict very carefully. Yes, the emperor is issuing an edict.
It is clearly stated in the book that Dongchang handles cases as if he were personally present. In other words, when he is not handling cases, he is just an agency directly under the emperor and has no other privileges. Is that right, Mr. Qianhu?"
"Yes, that's what the emperor's edict said." Zhang Ping of Qianhu replied in a low voice.
He is the backbone of this force hidden in the guard army. No matter what the opponent's purpose is, he must not mess with this formation.
Until the last moment, we still have to fight with him to the end.
At this moment, Baoding City is no longer dominated by the guards. The strength of the two guard posts of Daning Dusi is beyond what I can contend with now.
Everyone who was observing the academy had been captured, and the force of the guard army relied on itself.
Until the moment of life and death comes, it is better not to take action if possible.
Perhaps, it was because the guards impounded two of their horses that Dongchang was in trouble with the guards. As long as he was sincere, muddled through, and saved the lives of his brothers, what if his dignity was trampled on by the other party?
After all, living is more important than anything else.
"The guards seized things privately, even the horses in the East Factory. Does interfering with this matter count as handling the case?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Forget it, of course. Seizing the Dongchang horses is a benefit to the guards. Therefore, I am imprisoned. I am convinced. After all, the crime of this kind of implication should be borne by me, a member of the guards." Kneeling down.
On the ground, Qianhu Zhang Ping said with a sincere face.
"Oh? How come Mr. Qianhu suddenly became so sensible?" Xiao Chen was startled and looked at him in disbelief, "Does Mr. Qianhu think that for this kind of implicated crime, he will be imprisoned for three to five years at most?
The load will be released soon? If we move up and down a bit and get some money, maybe we can leave the prison in a few months?"
"You've got it, you've got it. This is a kind of responsibility for your own mistakes. I don't even bother to use money through relationships." Qianhu Zhangping said coldly.
"Oh." Xiao Chen raised his head, "This will put my mind at ease. Otherwise, if the outcome is different from what Mr. Qianhu thought, I'm afraid Mr. Qianhu will be disappointed."
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Qianhu Zhang Ping felt something was wrong in his heart.
Not only did this person want to imprison him, but he also seemed to have the intention of not letting himself out. If it was because of two military horses, this person would be a little too ambitious and would take revenge, right?
However, it’s no wonder that the soldiers and horses of the dignified Dongchang Police Station were detained by his short-sighted subordinates. Where should Dongchang’s face be put?
Now, they have found the prince, and they are proud of themselves. How can they tolerate Dongchang's dignity and disrespect others.
After bypassing Qianhu Zhang Ping, Xiao Chen slowly walked to a Baihu behind him: "Raise your head."
When the hundreds of households heard this, they had no choice but to raise their heads.
"That day, you took people to the yard where I live to look for the murderer in blue clothes at the city gate?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"You have good eyesight, you are just a villain." Baihu replied hurriedly.
"Who sent you?"
"There was a murder at the gate of the city. Someone killed two city guards on the spot and walked away. This incident alarmed the entire guard army. Master Qianhu asked us to conduct an investigation throughout the city. By the way, we reminded the people that there is danger in the city and not to go out easily." Then.
Baihu replied.
"Oh, how could I forget that in this kind of murder case, how could the guards have taken such a big action without the instructions of Mr. Qianhu. However, I was also wearing a blue shirt that day. You did not interrogate me, but
Search around the yard, what are you looking for?"
"I'm not looking for anything. I was just ordered to take a look around." The hundreds of households were already sweating on their foreheads.
"Are you following the orders of your Lord Qianhu?"
"yes."
"Oh." Xiao Chen slowly turned around, "At that time, I was going to dig a tunnel under the wall to inquire about the situation inside the academy. You took people to check carefully in the yard. I thought you heard the sound of hoes and stones clashing.
Sound, I came here specifically to check. It seems that I have wronged you."
The hundred households were covered in chaff and almost collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Chen's words couldn't be more clear. People who were watching the academy heard the sound of tunnels being dug in the yard next door, and notified the guards to come and check.
Where is the Auditing Academy? It is a group that imprisons the prince and the following criminals, who attempt to cholera the emperor and commit the serious crime of treason.
Following their instructions and checking in the nearby yard is equivalent to being an accomplice.
Whoever this big hat is placed on will die.
"Who are you? I suspect that you are not from Dongchang, but you are pretending to be Dongchang, and you are making nonsense here to confuse the public. Our guard army is the guard force of Baoding City, and we have the obligation to take down fake people like you
, a person who attempts to do harm to the imperial court."
Qianhu Zhang Ping suddenly stood up and moved his right hand towards the saber on his waist.
"How dare you? Your Excellency is the purple-clothed captain of Dongchang. How can you allow you to doubt it?" Magistrate Li Huaigu roared and hurried over, blocking Xiao Chen's face with his own body.
"Sir, this person is pretending to be the captain in purple and is doing random things here. Get out of the way and wait for me to take him down. Under torture, he will tell the truth." With a "crash", Zhang Ping had already pulled out his waist.
He was wearing a sword, and he just waited for the prefect Li Huaigu to get out of the way, and then he took action with Xiao Chen.
"Oh, you finally reacted and resisted?" Xiao Chen laughed lightly and pulled the prefect Li Huaigu in front of him behind him: "Master prefect, please step aside first. I want to see how much he weighs."
Two, you dare to imitate others and kidnap the prince and go against the imperial court."
There was a sound of rapid footsteps. Outside the hall, Duan Tianming, who had been standing still, rushed into the hall with more than 20 Shenji military commanders.
The captain held a blunderbuss, and the black hole of the blunderbuss was aimed at Qianhu Zhang Ping's head.
It seemed that if he moved even slightly, his head would be smashed to pieces.
"You, you actually brought so many people with you?" Looking at the Dongchang captains who were aiming at him one by one, Qianhu Zhangping slowly released his right hand holding the saber.
With a "clang" sound, the three-foot-long saber fell to the ground, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"After all, I'm from Dongchang, so how can I fight an uncertain battle?" Xiao Chen raised his right hand and waved it forward.
The twenty Dongchang captains rushed over quickly. The two of them escorted a guard military attache who was kneeling on the ground. The black muzzle of his gun was pressed tightly against the back of the opponent's head.
"What do you want to do if you target the guards like this?" Qianhu Zhangping's face turned pale.
"I want you to die, all of you!" Xiao Chen laughed brightly.
"Why? Even if we commit a capital crime, we should follow the procedures. Why did you do this?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"what ever."
"Then let's listen to the lies first." Xiao Chen slowly turned around and looked at the military attachés of the guard army who were all covered with chaff. "You communicate with the people who are watching the academy and imprison the prince. If he commits trouble, the East Factory will not be able to escape."
If you are detained again by human hands, you will have to be killed on the spot."
"Just because we don't have enough manpower, we are going to be killed. You are so cruel. You are worthy of being from Dongchang." Zhang Ping from Qianhu was so angry that he could not speak.
"Are you angry? If you heard the truth, wouldn't you be angry to death?" Xiao Chen looked at the other party with contempt.
"What's the truth?"
"The truth is, you detained Dongchang's military horses." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"That's it?" Zhang Ping of Qianhu said with an unquestionable look on his face.
"That's it! Kill you military attaches first, and then those swarming soldiers. Leave no chickens or dogs behind." Xiao Chen said calmly.
