Liu Yijin looked at Liao Ding with cold eyes: "General Liao, our Supervision Department is independent of the Third Department. If you delay our handling of the case again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Really?" Liao Ding laughed, slowly raising the spear in his hand, while hundreds of soldiers behind him had their crossbows fully drawn.
"Director Liu, as the head of the Supervision Department, you should also know the responsibilities of the Guard Corps. Today I also want to see if your Supervision Department can really use us to get through!"
"Looking for a fight!" Yuan Shuo snorted coldly and drew his knife directly. The wolf guards behind him took out their crossbows.
The two sides immediately became tense.
Seeing that things were irreconcilable, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded not far away, and then a pretty maid jumped off the horse.
She glanced indifferently at Yuan Shuo, who was standing next to Liu Yijin. The latter was stunned, with an imperceptible smile on his face.
"Sir, this is the girl Deng'er who is with Princess Qingqiu."
Liu Yijin looked around and saw Deng'er walking over quickly.
Liao Ding looked like a maid, and she didn't have any guards around her. She was about to make a sarcastic comment, but who knew that Deng'er walked directly to Liao Ding and glanced at him indifferently: "Are you General Liao Ding?"
"Exactly, who are you?"
Before Liao Ding could react, Deng'er raised his palm and drew it away.
This slap was loud and clear, not only making Liao Ding stunned, but also Liu Yijin looked shocked.
"You're fucking seeking death!" When did Liao Ding suffer such a big loss? He was slapped by a maid in front of everyone. If this spread, it would be fine.
Liao Ding roared angrily, raised the spear in his hand, and was about to thrust out. Yuan Shuo, who was standing not far away, suddenly roared and hit Liao Ding with the long knife in his hand.
"Looking for death!" Liao Ding's spear shook his sword, and he turned around and stabbed Deng'er directly. Yuan Shuo's expression behind him changed sharply: "Deng'er, get out of the way!"
The spear was as powerful as thunder, and at such rapid speed it made a whistling sound like a strong wind.
Just when the spear was about to reach Deng'er, Deng'er suddenly took out something.
Dang!
The token was directly picked up on the ground by the spear, making a crisp sound.
"Liao Ding, you are so brave!" On the street in the distance, several sounds of horse hoofbeats were heard, and then Gong Qingqiu, dressed in black military uniform, rode up and looked at Liao Ding with cold eyes: "Why, could it be that I can’t control you with my token?”
Liao Ding saw that it was Gong Qingqiu and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "General, I have seen Princess Qingqiu!"
"Get up!" Princess Qingqiu glanced at Liao Ding indifferently, turned around and scolded Deng'er with a smile: "You idiot, why don't you shout, if that guy's spear goes one step further, you will be dead!"
Deng'er slowly picked up the token and said softly: "I believe General Liao has definitely seen the handwriting on the token clearly."
Liao Ding, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked. The moment Deng'er took out the token, he saw the meaning of the token, but he was so angry at the time that he had no time to think about it.
Besides, she's just a maid, so what if I kill her?
Gong Qingqiu rode forward, and the long whip in his hand fell on Liao Ding's head: "Do you feel guilty for being disrespectful to me?"
Liao Ding's expression changed slightly: "Princess, Liu Yijin..."
The riding crop fell heavily on Liao Ding's shoulder: "Although the Prime Minister is responsible for city defense, Liu Yijin is following His Majesty's orders. Why, in your eyes, Liao Ding, is Your Majesty not as effective as the Prime Minister?"
Liao Ding's face turned pale: "Princess, please take responsibility. The general really doesn't know that Liu Yijin is carrying the emperor's orders."
Gong Qingqiu snorted: "Okay, the Supervision Department naturally has its own reasons for handling cases, so don't get involved and take your people to change defenses first."
Liao Ding wanted to say something else, but was directly interrupted by Gong Qingqiu: "I am here today to tell you that if you like the city wall, then from today onwards you can just be a guard of the city gate. How about that?" ?”
Liao Ding's expression changed drastically: "Little princess."
Gong Qingqiu waved his hand: "Okay, this matter is also His Majesty's wish."
After speaking, regardless of Liao Ding's verbal confrontation, Gong Qingqiu turned to look at Liu Yijin: "Master Liu, why are you still standing there? Why don't you find someone quickly!"
Hantong Village is only a dozen kilometers away from the imperial capital. Liu Yijin led the Wolf Guards to directly surround Hantong Village.
"Call the village chief of Hantong Village!"
After a while, two wolf guards brought an old man over. The old man's face was pale and he stood there tremblingly.
Liu Yijin smiled: "Don't be nervous, old man, I am Liu Yijin, the head of the Supervision Department."
"Meet the adults!"
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, old man. I would like to ask if a woman with a child has come to your village these days?"
The village chief said hurriedly: "A mother and son did come the day before yesterday. The child looked to be only seven or eight years old, and the woman was about thirty years old. They live at Zhao Qian's house in the village."
"What does Zhao Qian do?"
The village chief said: "Zhao Qian is a long-term worker in our village. He travels to and from the imperial capital on weekdays and works as a servant for some wealthy families."
Liu Yijin asked tentatively: "How is Zhao Qian's daily interactions? Has anyone come to see him often?"
The old man said: "Zhao Qian is very popular, so many people come to him. We will ask him for help with anything in our village."
"There have indeed been a few men here in the past few days. Some of them came to drink with him, and some of them came to visit. But these people all look like strangers."
"And Zhao Qian is a very hospitable person. Some people even stay at home when they are drunk."
Liu Yijin couldn't help but become curious about this man: "This man doesn't have a wife?"
"No, I've been alone."
Mengyao on the side couldn't help but laugh and said: "What a weirdo. He was born as a long-term worker. He spent all the money he earned to treat friends to dinner, and he was also able to take in other people's wives and children to stay at home."
Liu Yijin smiled and said, "Yes, I'm quite curious about this guy too."
Liu Yijin waved his hand, and a group of wolf guards, led by the village chief, directly surrounded Zhao Qian's residence.
"Sir, I have checked everything around and there is nothing abnormal."
Liu Yijin nodded, "Go in and arrest them."
At this moment, a fire suddenly broke out in Zhao Qian's home, and a figure jumped out from the darkness.
"catch him!"
Several wolf guards threw the man to the ground, tied him up in various ways, and escorted him to Liu Yijin.
Liu Yijin smiled and said, "Are you Zhao Qian?"
Zhao Qian sneered and turned his head silently.
"Where are Wang Han's wife and son?"
Seeing that Zhao Qian stopped talking, Liu Yijin waved his hand, and several wolf guards rushed directly into the small courtyard. The screams and the cries of children came from the room.
Liu Yijin's expression changed drastically: "Go and save people!"
When several wolf guards brought the person out, the woman was already dying, and the child in her arms had already died.
Lan Yuer hurriedly stepped forward, pricked the child with a silver needle a few times, then shook her head slightly and said, "There is no way to save him."
After the woman woke up and looked at the dead child, she burst into tears.
Liu Yijin looked at Zhao Qian with cold eyes: "Why did you kill them!"
Zhao Qian sneered, "Anyway, they will die in your hands. It's better to send them on their way as soon as possible."
"Bastard!" Liu Yijin chopped off one of Zhao Qian's arms with one knife: "Take him back to the Supervision Department and use all means to make him tell everything he knows!"
