How could Wan Jun arrive at the Protector's Office at night? Lin'er was caught by the Protector's Office there. Gu Xiao kept thinking about these questions in his mind, and then heard Zhang Siwei speak from outside the cell.
"He has already told us in court. Remember what I said, you only need to admit it, accept the bribe from one of the bodyguards, and give them some care on weekdays. I will take care of the rest."
Another person replied: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."
Zhang Siwei said with satisfaction: "Accepting a small bribe is nothing more than losing this job. After today, I will send a letter to Beijing, and my sister will arrange a good job for you in Beijing. Wait until My brother-in-law has arranged things in Beijing for me, and I will reward you well after I return to Beijing."
"Thank you so much to Brother Zhang, oh, no, Master Zhang cultivated me." The man's words were full of gratitude, as if it was his honor to take the blame.
Gu Xiao then heard the sound of saluting, and the two of them agreed and left. Gu Xiao did not hear the news about Lin'er. Instead, he heard from the conversation between the two that Wan Jun was in the Protective Department at the moment and was about to deal with Zhang Siwei.
Gu Xiao looked towards the direction where the two of them were walking. It was brightly lit. It should be the courtroom where the Chief Protector was trying the case. The lights were brightly lit at this moment. Gu Xiao's heart moved. He thought that he had never found Lin'er in these places, but the mandarin duck pendant in his arms was He was always eager to come out, which meant that Lin'er was in the Protectorate Division at the moment.
When the patrolling guards passed by, Gu Xiao climbed up on the roof, raised his energy, and reached the roof of the Duhu Yamen in the rising and falling of his body.
Listening carefully, the people in the room were interrogating loudly: "Zhang Chongzhi, today you oppressed the people in the city and confused right and wrong. Do you know your crime?"
"Replying to your lord, I don't know where your words came from. I also received a report from the commander Liu Si and Liu Siwei, saying that there was a fight in the commotion, so I took people to check. When I got there, I saw When it turned out to be just a fight between merchants, I stepped in to mediate, but my subordinates really didn't know where the crime came from." It was Zhang Siwei who answered.
Zhang Siwei and Zhang Chongzhi seemed to have expected that Si Cheng would interrogate him overnight, so they used this time to deal with Liu Yi and the group of tiger and leopard bodyguards and others, so they did not panic and answered in a flawless manner.
Seeing that Zhang Siwei did not plead guilty, Master Sicheng also murmured in his heart, but he could not afford to offend the person behind Zhang Chongzhi. And this made Wan Jun, who interrogated Zhang Chongzhi, he couldn't afford to offend.
How could he, a Sicheng, not know what Zhang Chongzhi did on a daily basis? The reason why he turned a blind eye was precisely because Zhang Chongzhi's sister married Cao Jing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Cao Jing He is the popular person in front of His Royal Highness. How can he, the little Lingzhou Protector Sicheng, be able to offend him?
Sicheng tilted his head slightly and seemed to be looking at the back hall. Seeing that the people in the back hall did not speak, Sicheng had no choice but to speak again: "Today there are many people as witnesses, and those few people who were indulged in doing evil by you have also You still dare to quibble when you are detained in the department, come on, bring those people to court for a confrontation."
When several guards saw the Lord speaking, they immediately walked out quickly and headed towards the prison. After a while, they dragged several prisoners who were not humanoid from the prison to the hall.
These people were beaten beyond recognition and their speech was mutilated. Let alone speak, even if their family members came to identify them, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize who they were.
Sicheng saw the miserable state of several people and hurriedly came down from the hall. Seeing that these people could no longer speak, he had to return to his seat and he felt relieved. Without witnesses, the crime could not be proven. If you try to stir up this half-murky water, you can get through today's matter, and neither party will be offended.
"Why are these people acting like this?" Sicheng asked.
Zhang Siwei had already prepared a response. He cupped his fists and saluted, "To tell you what to say, sir, I was also very confused when I was mediating the fight today. However, after I returned to the company, I used this method to deal with these people." After being sentenced, they have confessed."
"Oh? What did these people recruit?" Si Cheng had no expression on his face, but in his heart he only hoped that Zhang Chongzhi would make up his reasons more convincingly, so that the gentleman hearing the trial in the back hall would not be able to There is something to be said.
"Here is the confession, please take a look at it." Zhang Siwei confidently took out the testimony and presented it to Si Cheng.
Si Cheng took the confession with several people's signatures on it and looked at it. After a while, Si Cheng saw the flaws in the testimony. Looking at the half-dead tiger and leopard bodyguards in the hall, how could they still be interrogated? out.
Si Cheng's face was stagnant for a moment, and then he raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhang Siwei, who was confident in the field. He stopped talking, and the angry look in his eyes flashed away, and then returned to normal in an instant. Si Cheng saw He reached out and patted the gavel tree heavily and said, "Where is Cao Si?"
"The humble duty is here." One of the guards on the side came out to salute.
"You accepted bribes from these scoundrels, protected them from doing evil, and oppressed the people on a daily basis. Do you know your crime?"
"I know I'm guilty. I only thought they sent money to please me. I don't know what they did. Please forgive me, Lord Sicheng." Cao Si knelt on the ground. Although he looked like he was pleading guilty, his eyes were not clear. He didn't panic, but kept glancing at Zhang Siwei who was standing aside.
Gu Xiao heard the voice of this person. It was the person who was talking to Zhang Siwei outside the cell where he was hiding. By now, Gu Xiao had fully understood the viciousness of Zhang Siwei. He tortured these dragon and tiger bodyguards and was helpless. If he opens his mouth again, if Cao Si comes forward to take some blame, he himself will at most be guilty of unfavorable supervision.
Thinking of the evil deeds of stealing money and killing people from the head of the Tiger and Leopard Escort Bureau in the cell, Gu Xiao felt that his anger was about to melt the snow on the roof.
But Gu Xiao knew that he had no evidence. Even if he showed up to accuse Zhang Siwei of colluding with officials and gangsters, he couldn't use what he had overheard as testimony. He had to suppress his anger. The current plan was to find Lin'er first. , since Lin'er is no longer in this hall, let's go to other places in the Duhu Division to explore.
Just as Gu Xiao was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking towards the back hall of the Duhu Yamen. Gu Xiao could not admit that the figure was Lin'er. He was following someone and was about to enter the back hall of the Yamen. Gu Xiao no longer hesitated, covered his face, immediately turned over and jumped up, heading towards Lin'er.
Gu Xiao was indeed right, it was Lin'er and Yan Bin who came.
But he said that Yan Bin was held back by Lin'er and could no longer follow Gu Xiao. He kindly persuaded Lin'er to explain to Wan Jun. He took Lin'er to the inn and learned that Wan Jun had brought his guards to the Governor's Office. , so he rushed to the Duhu Division with Lin'er without stopping.
Showing the token to the guards of the Duhu Si, the guards of the Du Husband saw that it was the commander of the Yunying Division and did not dare to stop the two of them. After informing them first, they heard that the master was reviewing the case, so they led Yan Bin and the two to the back hall.
Yan Bin and Lin'er said, "Don't worry, miss. When we see the adults, we just need to report the truth truthfully, and nothing will happen."
Lin'er originally wanted to delay time for Gu Xiao to take out the documents from the city. Just as he was about to answer, Yan Bin's expression changed slightly and he rushed to Lin'er. He unsheathed the single sword at his waist and stabbed Lin in front of him. The child is behind him.
Lin'er was not weak in martial arts, and she also noticed someone jumping down from the sky. When she looked up, she saw Gu Xiao's large dark cloak. Lin'er felt happy in her heart. Before she could speak, she saw that the young guard beside him had unsheathed his single sword. Rush forward.
The sword drawn by Yan Bin was as bright as the moon, and he was extremely confident in his move. However, he did not expect that this man's figure was like the moonlight, and he only saw his figure flashing before he passed in front of him.
Suddenly looking back, he saw that the man's target was actually the girl. He immediately shouted angrily, poured his inner strength into the blade, struck the end of the handle with his palm, and shot the knife towards the back of the man's heart like a crossbow arrow.
Yan Bin was originally Yan Ruohai's disciple. He obtained Yan Ruohai's true teachings with his Dragon Linyuanyuan Palm. This Dragon Outer Sea Palm contains 70% of Yan Bin's skill. One strike of the palm is enough to destroy gold and break jade. Now Yan Bin is able to The palm of the hand urges the knife, and the knife is wielded quickly and cruelly.
Lin'er was not only worried for Gu Xiao when she saw that the young guard who had been polite before was making ruthless moves, but she was also delighted and praised when she saw that he was as nimble as a swift and easily avoided Yan Bin's single sword attack.
But then he saw Yan Bin abandon the knife and use his palm, using the knife as a hidden weapon and using the power of his palm to destroy it. He didn't have time to remind Gu Xiao to be careful. His apricot eyes widened and he saw that Gu Xiao was about to stab the flying knife into the back of his heart.
But he saw Gu Xiao flying towards him like an eye on the back of his head, leaping in the air, turned around and struck, hitting the tip of the single sword directly with his sword finger.
Under Yan Bin's surprised gaze, the single sword containing the power of his dragon palm broke apart inch by inch. It was as fragile as ice edges falling from the eaves and scattered on the ground.
What made Yan Bin even more frightened was that this man was not slow at all when he attacked him, as if his 70% dragon palm power was not threatening in his eyes.
Although Yan Bin is not Yan Ruohai's biological son, he has been taken by Yan Ruohai by his side since he was a child. He also obtained Yan Ruohai's true inheritance in the Dragon Palm. How could Yan Bin, who felt that he was despised by the other party, accept this insult.
Immediately he roared, his palms came out, and his feet formed a staggering stance. There was a faint sound of dragon roar while waving his palms lightly, which was a sign that the Wandering Dragon Palm had already achieved some success.
Before Gu Xiao, who landed next to Lin'er, could ask if Lin'er was okay, he heard the faint sound of a dragon roaring behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the young guard had already sidestepped in front of him. The wind blows directly in front of you.
Gu Xiao did not dodge, and used his internal strength to take the palm of his hand. The palms of the two touched each other. Gu Xiao was forced to take a step back by Yan Bin who was looking into the mirror for the first time. After all, Yan Bin's internal strength was not as deep as Gu Xiao's Dengtang realm. He was instantly overwhelmed by Gu Xiao's internal strength. Repulse and take a few steps back.
But the essence of Wandering Dragon Palm is fierceness. Although he was forced back by Gu Xiao's palm, Yan Bin did not show any fear. Instead, he sidestepped his palm and used a move of Canglong to go out to sea, and then took out Gu Xiao's chest and heart veins. .
Gu Xiao's palms were slightly numb, and he couldn't help but marvel at the incomparable strength of this man's palms. Seeing the opponent's palms extending, he was heading towards his middle. He touched the water with his feet, and at the same time blocked his arms with his left palm, using clever strength to remove his fierceness. With the force of forward thrust, his right palm shot out at the same time, directly attacking the opponent's chest and abdomen.
This move was a sure way to save the enemy. Gu Xiao thought he had succeeded, but unexpectedly, the white-faced guard was not afraid of life and death. He changed his moves and lunged through his palms, trying to exchange palms with Gu Xiao.
Seeing the fierceness of the opponent's attack, Gu Xiao had no choice but to block with his palms. Unexpectedly, this move was taken advantage of and he was immediately at a disadvantage. Yan Bin attacked with both palms.
