If a large team of troops were mobilized to arrest Ye Xiu, given that Ye Xiu is well-informed, I am afraid that when the spiritual officials left the Zhenwu Temple, he would be able to get the news. He would have already escaped before the spiritual officials entered the city within the city. Jinling Mansion is so big.
, it will be difficult to catch him again.
If you want to catch Ye Xiu, the fewer people, the better, and the faster, the better.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu suddenly decided to arrest people. When they discussed the matter, they used their identities as Wei Wugui and Tantaichu. No matter how well-informed Ye Xiu was, he had no way of knowing.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the case that Qingluan Guard is most afraid of is not a case that is carefully planned, arranged, and arranged. The interlocking cases are like beads on a string. If there is a problem in one link, all the beads will be scattered on the ground. The more planned it is, the more it is planned.
Cases that have been going on for a long time have more and more flaws. The real unsolved cases are random killings and impromptu killings.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu had this intention in catching people this time. After all, what they were thinking about yesterday was how to get information from Ye Xiu. They had not even made such a decision before leaving this morning. They did it on the way to the city within the city.
After making the decision to capture the person, the two took action half an hour later.
No matter how cunning Ye Xiu is, it is difficult to predict.
Qi Xuansu held Ye Xiu with "Fei Ying" in his hand, while Zhang Yuelu protected Qi Xuansu and walked out.
The members of the Beggar Clan were still surrounding the two people from a distance, neither daring to step forward nor willing to let them go. Moreover, many members of the Beggar Clan had gathered outside the mansion, and they were so tightly surrounded.
Zhang Yuelu was not in a hurry. After taking action, she sent a signal to Zhenwu Temple. The people from Tiangang Hall should be arriving soon.
Sure enough, after about two sticks of incense, a group of cavalry was seen galloping towards them. A dark atmosphere swept over them like clouds, and the dense and low sound of horse hooves beat on the ground, which shocked people's hearts.
Without even shouting, those blocking the way would get out of the way.
Arriving at the main gate of the mansion, these well-trained cavalry quickly reined in and surrounded the gate in a semicircle. The horses' legs were lined up, and their swords and guns were raised at the same time. The knights on the horses were all covered in armor. They were all black and there were almost no gaps. It was exactly
The spiritual official of the Taoist sect.
Facing the spirit officer who was covered in armor and full of oppression, the people outside the Beggar Clan did not have the courage to stop them. If they really wanted to take action, not to mention the rabble of the Beggar Clan, even the elite cavalry of men in black would not dare to do so.
There was not the slightest carelessness, so these Tiangang Hall spiritual officials did not encounter much obstruction.
The leader was none other than Mu Jin. She was not wearing armor but was dressed as a Taoist priest. She got off her horse and led the spiritual officials into the mansion.
As soon as she entered the door, Mu Jin saw Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.
She recognized "Tantai Chu", but was slightly startled, and then guessed the identity of "Wei Wugui".
She knew that these two people must be together.
Zhang Yuelu signaled Qi Xuansu to hand Ye Xiu over to the spirit officials brought by Mu Jin. The spirit officials took out special shackles similar to those worn by Bai Xiaojin, but more complicated. They tied them on Ye Xiu's hands, feet, neck, and
Connected together, it blocks all blood, divine power, true energy, and magic power. Even if you are a master in the return to true stage, you will still be unable to move. Even a martial artist will find it difficult to break the chain with physical strength.
Because Ye Xiu's knees were broken by Qi Xuansu with a firecracker and it was difficult for her to walk, the two spiritual officers simply picked up Ye Xiu, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked out.
Ye Xiu's subordinates could only watch. They were not ancient immortal wizards, how could they dare to openly confront the Taoist sect?
Mu Jin and Zhang Yuelu looked at each other and turned to leave.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu did not go with them. They left alone, intending to take off their disguises first.
There is a dungeon in Zhenwu Temple, close to Zhenwu Lake. Half of it is an ordinary cell and half is a water prison. It is equipped with formations and all kinds of teleportation spells and escape techniques are prohibited.
Just as Mu Jin led the spiritual officer to escort the people here, she saw Li Mingcheng coming in from the entrance of the dungeon, followed by many Taoist priests from Beichen Hall.
In the earliest days, Zhang Yuelu was the chief Taoist priest at Beichen Hall, Mu Jin was working under Zhang Yuelu as the deacon Taoist priest, and Li Mingcheng was Zhang Yuelu’s immediate boss. From this point of view, Li Mingcheng could also be regarded as Mu Jin’s old boss.
.
But later Zhang Yuelu rose to the top and was appointed by the Earth Master as the deputy head of the Tiangang Hall. Mu Jin also followed Zhang Yuelu to the Tiangang Hall. When Cihang became the master of the Tiangang Hall, Zhang Yuelu became the small leader, and Mu Jin also followed the rising tide.
, I have become a Taoist priest. From this point of view, it is very important to follow the right person. One person can achieve the Tao, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven.
"I've met Deputy Hall Master Li." Mu Jin took the initiative to salute. After all, he was an old boss.
Li Mingcheng glanced at Ye Xiu and asked, "Who is this?"
Mu Jin replied: "It's the suspect that our deputy hall leader personally arrested."
"Suspect." Li Mingcheng nodded, "Then it's up to you, Master Mu, and leave the rest to us."
Mu Jin was stunned for a moment, then realized: "What does Deputy Hall Master Li mean?"
"What do you mean? It means that our Beichen Hall should be responsible for the interrogation." Li Mingcheng said calmly, "Master Mu can leave."
Mu Jin was a little afraid of Li Mingcheng, but she refused to give in: "Deputy Hall Master Li, our Deputy Hall Master said that she will interrogate the suspect in person."
"Jinque asked our various departments to cooperate in handling cases. You arrest people and we interrogate. This is called coordinated case handling. You arrest people and you interrogate. This is not called coordinated case handling." Li Mingcheng said slowly and calmly, "Could it be that... Deputy Tang Zhang
Mainly disobeying Jinque’s orders?”
How could Mu Jin dare to take this big hat off, but she was also a bit quick-witted and immediately said: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang had absolutely no intention of doing this, but when we work together to handle cases, we must always communicate with each other. Deputy Hall Master Li will take the prisoner away directly. We
Since I can’t explain it to Deputy Hall Master Zhang, I would like to ask Deputy Hall Master Li to wait for a while until Deputy Hall Master Zhang arrives and the two of them have discussed a result that is satisfactory to both parties, and it will not be too late to hand over the matter again.”
Li Mingcheng said expressionlessly: "The case is urgent, how can we allow a moment of delay? Are you willing to take the responsibility for missing a big event? Get out of the way!"
Mu Jin took a step back, but did not let go. She said loudly: "Since the case is urgent, why didn't Deputy Hall Master Li go to arrest the prisoner early? Instead, he guarded the dungeon. We came back on the front foot, and Deputy Hall Master Li arrived on the back foot. This is good news."
Li Mingcheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Of course, he didn't come here to gain credit and pick peaches, but for a deeper reason. But for this reason, he couldn't say it out loud.
The key here is Zhenwu Guan. It is not easy to use force. He is the one who directly robs people and explains their mistakes, and gives others the leverage.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu finally arrived. She was delayed for a while because she changed her clothes and took off her disguise, but it didn't take long.
At this time, Zhang Yuelu was wearing the formal attire of a fourth-grade Taoist priest who offered sacrifices to wine. On her waist was the badge of the deputy head of the Tiangang Hall. She also held a snow-white whisk in her hand. Next to her was Qi Xuansu, who was dressed as a fifth-grade Taoist priest.
, he is not as elegant as Zhang Yuelu. He holds a horizontal knife in his hand and a gun hanging on his waist. Only the gunshot wound between his eyebrows has not completely healed.
Zhang Yuelu walked in: "Deputy Hall Master Li."
Li Mingcheng suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Yuelu. Facing this former subordinate, he forced a smile: "Vice Hall Master Zhang."
Although Zhang Yuelu was once his subordinate, the two are now completely different. Zhang Yuelu has a great future, and a Shenzhi master cannot escape. If he is lucky, he may even be able to compete for the Eighth Generation Grandmaster, and he has already
You can see the head at a glance, holding the position of a real person in the sky, and you don't even have to think about it.
As for the position of real person, it is really nothing in the Li family. The so-called "seven real people in one discipline" are not seven second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests. Strictly speaking, the "real people" here refer to Zhenzhi Zhenren, Pingzhang Dazhen,
Including a deputy headmaster, Da Zhenren.
Mu Jin immediately came to Zhang Yuelu and recounted what had just happened in detail. After Zhang Yuelu listened, he waved his fly whisk in his hand and said, "Do you want Vice Hall Li to take the prisoner away?"
"According to the rules, we should conduct an interrogation on the matter of the punishment of Master Beichen Hall." Li Mingcheng's tone was no longer as aggressive as before, but it also showed determination.
Zhang Yuelu said: "This time we rushed to Jinling Mansion to investigate the case. Jinque ordered all the halls to jointly handle the case. Even though the head of Beichen Hall is in charge of the punishment, he does not have the power to act arbitrarily."
Facing Zhang Yuelu, Li Mingcheng was not as tough as he was with Mu Jin. He was very flexible and said another way: "Then we will jointly handle the case. We will jointly interrogate. In terms of interrogating prisoners, Beichen Hall is more professional."
.”
Zhang Yuelu said noncommittally: "Although all the halls are jointly handling the case, there are priorities. This time, Ziwei Hall is the main one and Qi is in charge." The second half of the sentence was addressed to others.
"Yes." Qi Xuansu responded and looked at Li Mingcheng, "Deputy Hall Master Li, the arrest of the suspect this time was personally ordered by Master Lei, and Deputy Hall Master Zhang of Tiangang Hall only assisted in the arrest. If Deputy Hall Master Li wants to jointly interrogate,
You should not ask Deputy Hall Master Zhang for his opinion, but should ask Master Lei for his opinion."
Li Mingcheng's eyes turned to Qi Xuansu and his tone was slightly cold: "Who are you?"
Qi Xuansu calmly looked at Li Mingcheng and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I am Qi Xuansu, the Taoist priest in charge of Ziweitang, who belongs to Ziweitang Master Lei."
"Do you have a warrant from Master Lei?" Li Mingcheng was still unwilling.
Of course Qi Xuansu did not have a warrant: "There is only the command from Master Lei. If Deputy Hall Master Li doesn't believe it, he can go to Master Lei himself for verification."
Of course, Li Mingcheng couldn't go to Lei Xiaohuan for confirmation, so he could only take a deep look at Ye Xiu, who was in chains.
Ye Xiu was a little lucky.
If it really falls into the hands of Li Mingcheng, he may leave this place alive, or he may directly lose his life. The risk is too great. Compared with the two, Tiangangtang is safer. At least his life will not be endangered. Tiangangtang
I still need him to testify.
There was a brief silence in the dungeon, and finally Li Mingcheng broke the silence: "Let's go."
The people from Beichen Hall followed Li Mingcheng out of the dungeon in silence. Li Mingcheng looked back at the dungeon door and snorted coldly.
