The incident was so sudden that when the investigation team officials returned to the official ship, the results of the interrogation by the Xue family's thugs came out.
Those gang members are not hard-core, and they have revealed everything after several tricks.
Although the tools they carried were not aimed at the official ship the investigation team was traveling on, they still had no idea what they were used for.
As for the conflict between them and Mr. Zhao of the Ministry of Justice, they just bumped into each other by chance. They drank some wine and were confused. It happened that Mr. Zhao and his entourage were talking in foreign languages, so they subconsciously bumped into each other, and ended up bumping into an iron plate.
.
However, it can be seen that the gang to which these guys belong has great power in the dock town. The aboveboard and fair fights are all subconscious actions, which shows how arrogant and arrogant they are in daily life.
The officials of the investigation team don't care about this. In their opinion, any eventuality is unacceptable and unacceptable.
A few gangsters actually carry tools that could sink an official ship. Especially since this is a canal town, what do they want to do?
If something goes wrong on the official ship, several officials in charge of the investigation team will be miserable and may even be dismissed from their posts!
Now they are watching with eager eyes. They can slack off, but they must not make any big unexpected changes, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
The same is true. Lian Er, the new chief of the Criminal Department, has been transparent since childhood and entered the eyes of the chief officials of the investigation team. I don't know whether it is good or bad?
Unexpectedly, before the investigation team and the group could decide whether to stay in the dock town for the night or leave while the sky was still bright, local officials and local squires came to visit.
Now, all fools know what's going on.
When the right minister of the Ministry of Justice returned from receiving local officials and squires, the atmosphere of the entire investigation team changed.
The reason for this is mainly because of the news this person brought back. The other party asked the investigation team to release the person, and they could pay compensation, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
This time, it really stirred up a hornet's nest!
Threatening, a mere local squire actually dared to threaten the investigation team appointed by the imperial court!
"Isn't this reasonable? Is there any royal law here?"
Several young officials were furious and said in an angry tone: "Sir, we must not compromise. There is no such reason!"
It can only be said that they are too young and have not seen the local methods!
If you really get angry, you can directly destroy the ship and kill people. Now is the time to compete with the emperor. Don't expect the court to use all its strength to investigate and retaliate.
Haven't you seen any officials of fifth rank or above in the investigation team complain?
Lian Er, who was sitting in the corner, was sweating a little and subconsciously leaned towards Jia Cong beside him.
Such is the power of the high-ranking noble family that even Jia Cong, an idler who is not an official, is qualified to listen.
Unexpectedly, Lian Er's actions fell into the eyes of some interested people and immediately became the target of excuses.
An unknown fifth-rank official suddenly pointed his finger at the chain and said dissatisfiedly: "If Director Jia hadn't had to bring those gangsters onto the official ship, how could such a thing have happened?"
The other officials were stunned for a moment, and then all looked at Lian Er.
"you you you……"
How could Lian Er have expected that there would be such a strange existence? He didn't want to maintain the authority of the officials of the investigation team, but he actually took the initiative to provoke internal strife.
He was caught off guard for a moment, and Jun's face turned red with anger and he almost ran away.
"It seems that this adult has a close relationship with the gangs in the town!"
Jia Cong was not polite, and said leisurely: "You have been bullied to the point of being bullied by a mere local powerful, and you still have the leisure to engage in internal fighting. You don't look like a member of the investigation team, sir!"
I'm not bad at holding a shit basin.
"Nonsense!"
As if feeling the scrutiny of the other officials, the fifth-grade official laughed angrily and said, "What kind of occasion is this? What qualifications do you, a young boy like you, have to stand here and speak?"
Well, if I’m so frustrated and can’t find any rebuttal, I’ll just use Ginseng Rooster, right?
Jia Cong smiled maliciously and said coldly: "Just because I am from Rongguo Mansion!"
At this point, he paused and chuckled: "How about it, are you qualified?"
"So what about Rongguo Mansion..."
This guy really has no brains, he can even say such nonsense.
The expressions of the officials present changed slightly, and they looked at this guy with very strange looks, including sympathy, pity and gloating.
"You're screwed!"
Jia Cong sneered again and again and said disdainfully: "I don't know how you became a fifth-rank official. If you didn't have strong backers to support you, you would have been dismissed from office!"
After saying that, he ignored the idiot who reacted and looked as pale as paper. Jia Cong straightened his back and said loudly: "One of the two princes of Rongguo Mansion followed Emperor Taizu on the battlefield and made great achievements; the other
He has followed the emperor to guard the border for decades, and his military exploits are unparalleled. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of the country!"
The voice was powerful and almost deafening.
At least all the officials present had serious faces and looked like they were listening attentively.
No matter what they thought about the Rongguo Mansion, they did not dare to be disrespectful to the two generations of Rongguo Dukes. The emperor was still alive.
The most prosperous period of the previous generation, Duke Rongguo, was during the turbulent years when the emperor was in power. To deny the achievements of Duke Rongguo is to deny the achievements in foreign wars during the emperor's reign. This is not the way to seek death.
"Some people think they are great after reading a few books of the Four Books and Five Classics. They don't know what the background of their families was when the two Rong Guogongs were alive. Maybe they are remnants of the previous dynasty, and they are interested in me to celebrate the new dynasty.
It’s possible to harbor resentment!”
hiss……
All the officials present couldn't help but take a breath, and their eyes when they looked at Jia Cong changed, and they even became a little more frightened.
Damn, it’s so heartbreaking to say such harsh words.
Once word spreads, the imperial court will send people to investigate no matter what. If there is no problem, that's fine. If the official family who jumped out to accuse Chain 2 is a legacy of the previous dynasty, there will definitely be no good results.
thump!
Before many officials could recover from their frightened mood, they heard a muffled thud. All the officials looked around and saw that it was the fifth-grade official who took the initiative to find fault. He fainted and fell to the ground.
However, none of the officials present were willing to come forward to help, and even subconsciously stayed away from this guy.
"My lord, it's better to send this lord back to rest first!"
It was Jia Cong who spoke, smiling and saying: "If there is an accident, we won't look good!"
"Yes, yes, the master said yes!"
The right minister of the Ministry of Punishment was a third-rank official, but he did not dare to underestimate Jia Cong at this time. Hearing this, he pushed the boat and called for someone to send the unlucky guy who had passed out...
