Shen Lian's people are very professional.
Here Song Xuan was still interrogating Li Tongpan, but over there, Jin Yichuan and his men had already kidnapped the county guard.
"This damn fat guy is very interested in having sex with women in his house in broad daylight!"
As he spoke, he kicked the county guard on the butt and knocked him to the ground.
Song Xuan stepped forward and said, "Master Sheriff, you are really a noble person and have many things to do. It is really not easy to meet you!"
Sheriff Wang got up from the ground, touched the blood on his face that was choked on the ground, and looked at Song Xuan, trembling all over.
"I am the governor of Huai'an County who has been consecrated by the imperial court. I am an upright and fifth-rank local official. You broke into the government office and beat the imperial officials. I will report to the emperor to impeach you. I must impeach you!"
Song Xuan looked him up and down and couldn't help but laugh, "It's rare that he has some backbone!"
As he said that, he waved his hand, "Pull it down and let us, Commander Wang, recognize the reality!"
Lu Xiaoliu laughed and dragged Governor Wang's fat body to the side of the yard. Song Qian also followed suit with a smile on her face.
Soon, screams like slaughtering pigs continued to sound.
After being punished, Commander Wang became much more honest. Next, he answered whatever Song Xuan asked.
"Who raped Mrs. Sun Liu?"
"Sir, I really don't know. I was also acting under orders. The prefect sent someone to send a message and asked me to suppress this matter.
I am just a dirty worker, how can I dare to offend my immediate boss, the prefect? "
"What's the name of the prefect?"
"The name of the prefect is Tian Yuan. He is the younger brother of the leader of the Tian clan in Mingzhou. The left minister of the imperial court's criminal department is his older brother!"
"Go on, tell me in detail!"
"Tian Yuan had one wife, five concubines, and six daughters, but he only had one son. He doted on his son so much that he almost wanted to spoil him.
The lower official had guessed that the magistrate's desperate attempt to cover up the matter might have something to do with his son. "
"He only has this one son?"
Sheriff Wang recalled it and said: "The prefect's fortune telling in the early years told him that he would not have a son, so he adopted a son from the Tian clan.
However, after he had his own son, he looked down upon the child in every possible way. It is said that after the father and son had a quarrel, the child ran away from home and has not been heard from since. "
Song Xuan frowned and asked, "What is the name of the child he adopted?"
"It seems to be called Tian Chong, with the courtesy name Boguang."
"Tian Boguang?" Song Xuan's expression became strange.
"Your Excellency, have you ever heard of him?"
Song Xuan didn't speak. He pondered for a moment, looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Do you have any recorded information about Tian Boguang?"
"have!"
Shen Lian said: "There are many famous martial arts masters in Mingzhou. Tian Boguang is excellent in light kung fu and swordsmanship. He is known as the "lone man walking thousands of miles" by people in the world.
However, this man was lustful and often preyed on women in the rivers and lakes. He was a famous flower-picking thief in the martial arts world, and his reputation was not far behind that of Yun Zhonghe in the northern region of Songzhou. "
Song Qian said: "Brother, do you think the cases we investigated were done by Tian Boguang?"
"It's hard to say. What do you think, Master Shen?"
"It shouldn't be Tian Boguang!"
Shen Lian analyzed: "This man is also considered a well-known figure in the martial arts world of Mingzhou. He has excellent light skills and once escaped from being chased by innate masters. His sword skills are also extremely outstanding among Houtian realm warriors, and ordinary people really can't do anything to him."
This man is lustful and is a famous flower-picking thief, but most of the women he picks are from the prostitutes, and he may not be interested in women from ordinary people's families. "
Song Xuan nodded slightly, and the plot of Tian Boguang kidnapping Yi Lin in Swordsman appeared in his mind.
You can doubt Tian Boguang's character, but you can't doubt his vision.
To put it simply, Tian Boguang plays a high-end game. Although Sun Liu is beautiful, she is still outstanding among ordinary people. Compared with those female knights who have been practicing martial arts for many years and have the blessing of internal strength, they are not even a little bit behind.
The possibility of Tian Boguang falling in love with her is really slim.
"If it's not him, then it's his cheap brother!"
Song Qian analyzed with a very serious look: "They are all from the Lao Tian family, and they are probably not good people. Anyway, we don't care if he is a bad person or not, let's arrest him first!"
Although these words were a bit simple and crude, they suited Song Xuan's intention, "Now that the case has progressed to this point, there must be a result. As Song Qian said, this matter must be related to the prefect named Tian. Let's arrest him first." !”
Shen Lian naturally had no objection and ordered Jin Yichuan: "Send two people to take the county guard and the general magistrate into our prison, and come back to the trial slowly after finishing the business!"
These two fat pigs, just squeeze out some oil and water, which is enough for their brothers in the Huai'an County Law Enforcement Department to have a good year!
Song Xuan also waved, "Take Sun Bu'er and his wife with you. We have to go to Fucheng next. It's inconvenient to take them with you!"
Jin Yichuan nodded in agreement.
...
Mingzhou, Jianghuai Mansion.
When Song Xuan and others arrived at the boundary of Fucheng, it was already early morning on the second day.
"Master Shen, since Tian Boguang is a registered figure in your Law Enforcement Department, why hasn't anyone been sent to arrest him?"
Song Qian ate the dry food she brought with her, took a sip of water, looked at the ancient city in the distance that looked inexplicably majestic in the morning light, and asked casually.
Shen Lian drank the water from the kettle and explained: "Although our Xuanyi Guards have great power, they are only a sword for the emperor, and they are not really without restrictions.
Tian Boguang is a flower-picking thief, but he only targets women from the world. There is no news about him harming ordinary women.
Generally speaking, there is no clear division between the imperial court and the Jianghu, but there are some unspoken rules of mutual acquiescence.
That is, the rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes, and the imperial court is the imperial court.
How people in the world fight and fight, but as long as it doesn't affect ordinary people, the court will pretend not to see it and just watch from the sidelines without ending up personally.
Even if they are determined to end, they will only secretly support certain forces in the arena to check and balance each other, and will not directly intervene in the affairs of the arena. This is something that everyone understands tacitly.
Although Tian Boguang is bad, there are people in the world to deal with him. If he can't be dealt with, that's because he is too powerful. As long as he doesn't challenge my Xuan Yiwei's bottom line, we won't easily end up interfering in the affairs of the world. "
Speaking of this, Shen Lian gave a rare smile and said, "Master Song should also know that our Xuanyi Guards have a great reputation, but our reputation in the world is not good. People call us Imperial Eagle Dogs, and they treat us very badly." fear.
Without a proper reason, rashly intervening in Jianghu affairs can easily provoke people in the martial arts to join forces to resist. "
Song Xuan thoughtfully said, "As long as there is a reason for the past, we can end it ourselves, right?"
