General Du glanced at Mr. Huang steadily, and then said: "This is at the feet of the Emperor. Someone dares to set fire to commit murder. Your Majesty is naturally concerned. Mr. Huang, please evacuate the people."
Master Huang was unwilling. Originally, he and the prince had planned to arrest Li Lin for questioning as soon as the incident occurred, and then quickly close the case and behead Li Lin in public. In this way, the incident was over and the case was closed.
He is just a poor student with no influence at all behind him. Even if he has some relationship with the Duke of Jinning, the Duke of Jinning may not protect him.
Maybe his death would make the people of Jinning Palace happy. In this case, Princess Wenxiao would not have to marry him. Who would be better off looking for a good husband than this poor one?
But unexpectedly, King Zhao got involved and even reported it to the emperor!
This is very troublesome.
Mr. Huang hesitated, but refused to leave. If His Majesty really investigated this matter personally, both he and the prince would be in trouble.
This is absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Since we are handling a case, someone reported seeing Li Jingyuan setting the fire. As a governor, I naturally want to arrest the prisoner and bring him to justice. Could it be that King Zhao wants to stop me from handling the case."
"Even if he didn't do it, as a suspect in this case, I still have the right to take the person away!"
General Du's expression changed: "Master Huang, do you know what you are talking about?!"
"Of course!" Mr. Huang said, "No matter who he is, as long as he is under my control in this place, I will handle it impartially and will never act for favoritism based on the words of a powerful person. General Du, I'm sorry." , I will definitely take Li Jingyuan away today!"
"Come here, open the door for me. If anyone interferes with the investigation of the case, I will shoot them on the spot!"
"Master Huang!"
"Master Huang!"
"Sir Huang, my third master said that Li Jingyuan is the future son-in-law of our Jinning Palace. If Mr. Huang wants to take him, he must wait for our third master to come first." The guard sent by Su Xun insisted. Scalp said, "If we really want to review this case, we have to wait for our third master to be present."
"You are so outrageous. I am handling the case. How can I allow you people to interfere? Come here and take these people down with me!"
The people at the entrance of the small courtyard got into a commotion. Mr. Huang's people wanted to break down the door and go in to arrest people, but the people brought by General Du tried to stop them, and then the two sides started fighting.
When General Du came, he had been told by King Zhao not to let Mr. Huang break in and really arrest Li Lin into the government office. Otherwise, something bad would happen.
Although General Du didn't understand the reason, he would always obey King Zhao's orders.
Since Mr. Huang refused to listen and insisted on arresting people, he had no choice but to stop them.
The people sent by Su Xun also went up to help, while the people from Prince Sui's Mansion fished in the troubled waters, even squeezing towards Lord Huang without leaving a trace, and when they got the opportunity, they punched Lord Huang.
The people in Prince Sui's Mansion didn't care about Li Lin's life or death, but the prince dared to burn Qingfeng Courtyard, which angered Prince Sui. Lord Huang is the prince's man. In this chaotic situation, of course, they will take the opportunity to beat Lord Huang. !
Yuan You stood on the wall, looking at the mixed fight below. He bared his teeth and looked up, just in time to see a wall not far away. You Zongzhi stood there with his sword in his arms. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some smoke on his body. The ashes left by the bullet made me think he was a peerless knight.
Yuan You snorted softly. Although he had some intentions and wanted to fight with him again, he couldn't leave at this time. If these people really broke in, it would be embarrassing for him.
So he endured it for the time being, thinking that when he had free time, he would definitely have a few more fights with him. It had been a long time since he had exercised his muscles, and this kid had some skills, so he could spar with him.
The melee below lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour (15 minutes). Mr. Huang was beaten from time to time, one of his shoes was missing, half of the sleeve of his official uniform was cut off, and the official hat on his head was shaking. It was tall and tall, with two eyes, one of which was punched by someone unknown and turned blue.
"Ahhh! Whoever beats me! Whoever beats me!"
"Hand, my hand!"
"Who stepped on me!"
Yuanyou could see clearly from the top of the wall, but he wished that the old guy would be beaten to a disability. If he hadn't been unable to go down and do it, he would have jumped down to catch him and beat him.
Old thing!
While the melee was going on below, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the alley.
"His Majesty's decree arrives——"
"His Majesty's decree arrives——"
"Everyone, please stop—"
"Your Majesty has an order to order the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture to enter the palace immediately to meet the Holy Spirit. There must be no mistake——"
"Your Majesty has an order to order the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture to enter the palace immediately to meet the Holy Spirit. There must be no mistake——"
"Stop, stop - stop quickly -"
Mr. Huang was beaten badly. He originally wanted to run out of the melee quickly, but there were always people squeezing him into it, and he was punched a few times from time to time. It was really painful.
"Save me—save me quickly—"
"Save me quickly—"
The person who came was Zhou Huwei, the emperor's confidant. Seeing such a scene, he suddenly felt overwhelmed: "Go and separate them!"
The guard who followed behind him immediately responded with a yes, then quickly dismounted and went to separate the group of melee people.
After a lot of confusion, the men and horses on several sides were finally separated. At this time, Mr. Huang had been beaten to a bruised nose and face. He was punched in both eyes. The black and blue were terrible, and he looked extremely miserable and pitiful.
"Hiss-hiss-"
Zhou Huwei looked at him for a while before he recognized him: "Master Huang?!"
"Hiss—it's me..." Mr. Huang was about to cry. He was really suffering.
Seeing him being beaten like this, Zhou Huwei was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "Sir Huang, your Majesty has summoned you. You'd better tidy up and go to the palace to face the saint."
"Now?!"
"Exactly."
Master Huang was reluctant: "But then Li Jingyuan..."
Zhou Huwei said: "Master Huang, your majesty has summoned him and he will enter the palace immediately. As for Li Jingyuan, your majesty has made his own decision. Master Huang, please come."
Lord Huang was unwilling, but now that His Majesty personally sent someone to let him enter the palace, he could not tolerate his unwillingness anymore, so he said: "Guard Zhou, please allow me to go back to the government office to clean up a few things, and then follow Guard Zhou Entering the palace, it would be really rude to meet His Majesty like this."
Zhou Wewei looked at him for a while and nodded: "Yes."
Master Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Guard Zhou."
At this time, in the palace, the emperor was drinking tea and playing chess with King Zhao. The prince was summoned by the emperor. He didn't ask anything. He just ordered him to kneel on the ground and let him reflect on it. When will he know what he did wrong? stand up.
The prince was worried, not knowing exactly what the emperor knew and how he should speak out in order to pass this test safely.
Not long after, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhao has arrived."
The emperor raised his head, held a white piece and placed a piece on the chess game. He said in a calm voice: "Let him in."
