On the towering city wall, a figure fell down, his robes rustling, it was none other than Qiu Yu, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
The security of the entire Kyoto is under Qiu Yu's jurisdiction, and his place is also in front of the city gate of Kyoto.
At noon today, Wang Dafu had already arrived at Qiu Mansion and told Qiu Ruoruo what happened last night.
This was the scene where Qiu Yu saved people just now.
In fact, Qiu Yu had been waiting for Yu Zhi to enter the city, and was still thinking about how to snatch Yu Zhi away from Fu Taining.
The appearance of Mrs. Zhao and others gave Qiu Yu the opportunity to intervene.
"I'm really tired of making trouble in Kyoto!"
...
...
The "liveliness" in front of the city gate soon spread throughout Kyoto, especially the homes of dignitaries.
However, in that seemingly simple prime minister's palace, the atmosphere was unusually calm.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the woman standing in the hall, and his eyes fell on the woman's legs. This is a stubborn disease that he has been unable to cure even after searching for famous doctors.
In order to prevent the owner of these legs from humiliating his family and giving others a handle, he had been extremely cautious and placed them deep in the mountains for more than ten years. Even not long ago, he sent a killer to completely bury this secret.
The fact is that Li Xiu was far from successful.
Those black-clad killers also lost news.
He knew his plan had failed and the truth might have been known.
In the simple prime minister's mansion, even the hot summer wind is unwilling to visit, and the coldness and poverty are everywhere.
"grandfather."
Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses amidst Li Wantong's shouts.
Wan Tong probably didn't know that those people were sent by me. Otherwise, I would not be standing here.
But what about those killers? Was he killed by that Yu Zhi?
Countless thoughts flashed through Li Xiuyuan's mind.
"Grandpa, please, save Yu Zhi!" Li Wantong shouted anxiously. Last night, she hurried back to Kyoto, and the only person she could think of in her heart was her grandfather Li Xiuyuan.
Matters in the court can only be settled in the court.
Li Xiuyuan had already heard Li Wantong tell what happened last night, and what he heard sounded like conspiracy.
"Grandpa, my granddaughter's legs were healed by Yu Zhi. My granddaughter and Yu Zhi have already made a private decision for life. I beg grandpa to save Yu Zhi's life." Li Wantong knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and he had long forgotten The daughter's family was ashamed.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking about it, but it was not something he knew. He didn't like Yu Zhi. It would be a good thing if Yu Zhi died in prison.
"Wan Tong, you have a good rest first. The matter has not yet been decided. Grandpa will definitely try to save Yu Zhi." Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice. The sound was convincing enough.
This is a trick that Li Xiuyuan has practiced for many years. He can say these sincere words no matter when, where or to whomever he faces.
Li Wantong responded, naturally believing Li Xiuyuan's words.
Lao Huang has been following Li Wantong, with a deep and complicated look in his eyes. He knew the truth, but couldn't bear to tell Li Wantong.
Likewise, he didn't believe that Li Xiuyuan would save Yu Zhi.
At this time, the servant quickly walked into the lobby and whispered a few words in Li Xiuyuan's ear.
Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly, and when he looked at Li Wantong again, his expression flashed with more complexity.
Li Wantong said nervously: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and sighed, and said: "That Yu Zhi is in some trouble. He killed no one else, but Zhao Jie, the son of Zhao Kai, the Minister of Punishment. Now that the evidence of the crime is solid, it may be difficult to deal with it."
Li Wantong suddenly felt dizzy.
"Grandpa, this must be a frame-up. Yu Zhi has no enmity against him and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately."
It was difficult for Li Xiuyuan to do what he did, but he said firmly: "Wan Tong, don't worry, since he is your beloved, grandpa will do his best. Yu Zhi is an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the deceased is the son of the Minister of Punishment. This matter involves The ministers of the DPRK and Central Government will definitely be reviewed by the three departments."
"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa!"
"Wan Tong, what are you talking about? We are a family... Chuchen will be back soon. She misses you very much. You two sisters should have a good time catching up on old times. Leave these outside matters to grandpa. .”
After that, Li Xiuyuan walked out of the lobby and set up his sedan chair in the palace.
What Li Xiuyuan needs to be able to achieve the position of prime minister is to act upon the wind and anticipate opportunities.
At this moment, the Chengming Palace was probably bustling.
...
...
In front of the city gate, Qiu Yu held a knife, and the soldiers guarding the city gate gathered around him.
Wang Dafu had already rushed ahead, guarding the prison car, and whispered: "Master Xiao Yu, Master Qiu will definitely rescue you."
Yu Zhi said with a smile: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Tell Ruoruo, don't be nervous. If you dare to mess with me, even the king of heaven will make him lose a few teeth."
Wang Dafu chuckled and said: "Miss Ruoruo, I'm afraid you will be wronged. She and Lord Qiu have been waiting here for several hours."
"Hahaha, no wonder Qiu Yu is full of anger." Yu Zhi thought for a while and then said, "Place Tong'er, Yu Lan and the others in place for me."
Fu Taining was shocked when he saw this, but he didn't know that Qiu Yu was waiting here.
If I had known that Yu Zhi had a close relationship with the Qiu family, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division had no right to intervene, but when these people made such a fuss, Qiu Yu had a reason to intervene.
When Mrs. Zhao saw this, she immediately said: "Master Qiu, the evidence of this person's crime of killing my son is conclusive. I am avenging my son, how can it be regarded as making trouble?"
Qiu Yu is the Prime Minister of Kyoto's security, and his official position is not as good as that of the Minister of Justice, but in the huge Kyoto, Qiu Yu's power is not insignificant.
Qiu Yu snorted coldly, not buying Mrs. Zhao's blame.
"In the land of Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor, even murderers should be tried by the government and convicted. Besides, Yu Zhi is an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He should be regarded as His Majesty's Holy Judge before he can be convicted. What is your official position? How dare you give instructions? Others kill people?"
Mrs. Zhao was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say. When you are angry, you can't control so much.
"Come here, capture all these people and take them to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division Prison."
Seeing this, Fu Taining immediately dismounted and said, "Master Qiu, Mrs. Zhao was just confused for a moment. I hope Master Qiu is thinking of Mrs. Zhao's heartache for losing her son, so she did such a confused move. Please forgive me, Master Qiu."
Qiu Yu glanced at Fu Taining and had no good expression. If you, an old dog, hadn't caused trouble, why would I have gone through such a journey?
Just as Qiu Yu was about to speak, he heard a crisp voice.
"Mrs. Zhao, if you really killed Yu Zhi just now, you would have been charged with murder now. Do you know what the crime is if you kill someone on the street in Kyoto?"
Qiu Ruoruo, wearing a yellow skirt, walked to the prison car lightly step by step.
"According to the laws of Dachu, whoever kills must pay with his life. And Mrs. Zhao is the wife of the Minister of Punishment. I'm afraid it will involve Mr. Zhao's official position, which is not good. Is Yu Zhi the murderer of Zhao Jie? It is still unclear at this time It has not been found out. Could it be that the wife of the Minister of Punishment can kill people arbitrarily based on her own guesses? "
Qiu Ruoruo's understatement was a heavy blow to Mrs. Zhao's heart.
At this moment, the people surrounding him were also whispering.
"Yes, how can you kill someone in the street? If that's the case, how can there be any royal law?"
"This man is just a suspect and has been locked up in a prison van. Even if he is guilty again, he still needs to wait for the government to sentence him. How can he use lynching?"
"Alas, there is no justice in this world. Aren't these dignitaries just allowed to do whatever they want?"
"..."
Mrs. Zhao has changed from the anger just now to the worry now, and she feels scared in her heart.
If he had really killed Yu Zhi just now, he would have been held accountable, and even the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment would have been implicated.
Mrs. Zhao stepped back repeatedly, her eyes blurred, and she fainted the next moment.
Qiu Yu glanced at Fu Taining and said, "I am mindful of Mrs. Zhao's pain of losing her son, so I won't care about it, and I won't do it next time. Today's incident also serves as a warning to everyone. Only by acting in accordance with the law can there be long-term peace and order in the world of Chu."
"Master Fu, I see that Yu Zhi is not safe in your hands. Let my soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division accompany you to protect him along the way."
Qiu Yu had no intention of discussing. When he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division fended off the soldiers and guarded the prison car.
When Fu Taining saw this, he was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
"Master Qiu is right, he is right."
The group of people entered Kyoto under the escort of soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Qiu Ruoruo didn't leave, but sat outside the prison car chatting with Yu Zhi.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you will cause trouble when you come back. If my aunt finds out, she will scold you again." Qiu Ruoruo was helpless and depressed. She had prepared the reception banquet, but she didn't want to take Yu Zhi to prison in a prison car now.
Yu Zhi chuckled and looked at Qiu Ruoruo. "We haven't seen each other for a few months. My Ruoruo Chuluo family has become more and more beautiful. I don't know whose boy is so lucky to marry you."
Qiu Ruoruo rolled her eyes at Yu Zhi and said, "What time has it been and you are still in the mood to tease me. You should think of a way. It will be difficult to get out of this prison."
Yu Zhi looked at the people watching along the streets of Kyoto and said nonchalantly: "Ruoruo, you sit with me in the prison car. In a few days, your reputation in Kyoto will be bad. If you can't get married by then, what should you do? good?"
Qiu Ruoruo was like an old mother, her heart was broken for Yu Zhicao.
"Brother Xiaoyu, do you know your current situation?"
"Aren't you just killing Zhao Jie and asking me to pay for it with my life? Is this a big deal?"
"You, this is a serious crime of decapitation. Going to jail is not worth suffering some pain...Brother Xiaoyu, you are really big-hearted!"
"They can't kill me. What if they kill Zhao Jie? He should have been killed. I let him escape in Beiliang Mansion, but I didn't expect someone to bring Zhao Jie to me. I would like to thank him properly."
"You!" Qiu Ruoruo stared at Yu Zhi, furious. "They clearly want to harm you and use Zhao Jie's death to send you to prison. The crime is confirmed and Zhao Jie's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. How can he let you go so easily?"
Yu Zhi looked at Qiu Ruoruo's nervous look and patted Qiu Ruoruo's head lovingly.
"Don't worry. Although this plan is a bit sinister, it is not difficult to break the situation. The deeper I sink, the more ferocious the counterattack will be."
Immediately, Yu Zhi whispered a few words into Qiu Ruoruo's ear with a subtle expression.
