Yamen were nothing at all in Jinling City, a city full of nobles and nobles. They could only do things to oppress the people on weekdays, which was not much better than the underworld in Jinling City before.
But what about today? The originally high-ranking Pingliang Marquis Mansion fell into the mortal world, and the formerly reveling nobles became prisoners.
These cadres naturally want to be humiliated, as if this can prove their existence. This is a hateful and twisted mentality, but most people have it.
This refreshing feeling was suddenly broken, and these officials were naturally very unhappy.
What's more, Zhang Ren didn't even look at them, which made them even more unhappy.
On normal days, they might still have eyebrows and eyebrows, wondering whether the handsome young man in front of them could be a young master from a noble family.
But today, when they ransacked the Pingliang Marquis Mansion, they seemed to have had the illusion that they were omnipotent, even the noble family would crawl at their feet.
One of the leading officials said arrogantly: "Are you tired of your life? Do you dare to meddle in the affairs of this place? Everyone in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion is a repeat offender. If you meddle in others' affairs again, be careful not to be regarded as an accomplice!"
Zhang Ren looked at the Yamen who spoke with a cold face. The Yamen only felt a hint of coldness all over his body, but he did not retreat. He was the leader of the Yamen here. If he retreated today, how would he manage his affairs? Subordinates? Moreover, he knew that he was now representing the imperial court. As long as someone dared to disobey, they could be labeled as disobeying the imperial court. Whether they were tied up and imprisoned or directly hacked to death, justice would be on their side anyway.
The officer emboldened his courage, met Zhang Ren's gaze, and said again: "What are you looking at? Are you still not convinced?"
Zhang Ren snorted coldly and said: "The Marquis of Pingliang deserves to die, but what are the crimes of these people in his house? They have done nothing and know nothing, why should they bear the blame together? You don't think so anymore Look at the son of Marquis Pingliang, he is only three or four years old, he doesn’t understand anything, why should he bear the responsibility?"
After hearing this, the yamen officials burst into laughter. The leader of the yamen officials pointed at Zhang Ren and said, "Do you have a brain disease? Hu Weiyong committed a major crime of rebellion back then. Today, it is found out that Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju is The accomplices in Hu Weiyong's case have slipped through the net. Your Majesty has been benevolent in not killing all the people in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion. Why are you still trying to absolve them? As for Fei Ju's son, the only one to blame is his own bad fate. , but you were reincarnated in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion! If you dare to interfere with official duties again, I will chop you into pieces!"
As the Yamen said, he directly took out the saber from his waist. Seeing this, the Yamen on the side also took out the sabers from their waists.
Zhang Ren's uniform, belt, and embroidered spring knife were all kept by His Majesty. He came out in a hurry today and really didn't bring any weapons with him. However, he was not afraid at all. They were just a few government officials. He Don't take it seriously at all.
"Hmph! Are you scared, kid? But it's too late to regret it! Take this kid down, right or left! If he disobeys, he will be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs!" the leader of the Yamen ordered.
After receiving the order, these government officials attacked Zhang Ren directly, and swung their long knives towards Zhang Ren. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhang Ren is being tied up. It's absolutely life-threatening.
Zhang Ren didn't move at all, but Wu Peng and Ji Gang beside him did.
Ji Gang has only been practicing martial arts for a short period of time, but his talent and basic skills are quite good, enough to withstand several government officials. As for Wu Peng, let alone Wu Peng, who saw a golden light all over his body and stood directly in front of Zhang Ren, letting those long men The knife slashed casually, but it was unable to break through his defense.
However, the leader of the Yamen showed a fierce look and said: "Assisting criminals, obstructing official duties, and resisting arrest in the street are really serious crimes. Come on! Today we will kill lawless people like you on the spot!"
As soon as the officer finished speaking, another voice came from the side: "Who dares?"
Everyone followed the voice and saw Gao Haiyong rushing over with a group of royal guards.
It is strange to say that Zhang Ren went to the Zhenfu Division to release Ji Gang and Wu Peng. No matter how he calculated it, Gao Haiyong should have arrived first, but for some reason, Gao Haiyong was not able to come at this time.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Zhang Ren also knew that this was not the time to ask.
when.
Naturally, the official recognized Gao Haiyong. He quickly raised his hand towards Gao Haiyong and said, "I have met Gao Qianhu."
Gao Haiyong ignored Zhang Ren and went straight to Zhang Ren. He first looked at the child in his concubine's arms, and then asked Zhang Ren: "Zhang Ren, have you ever heard of a sentence: If you kill a snake, you will fight back." Suffer from it.”
Zhang Ren nodded and said, "Of course I have."
Gao Haiyong smiled, pointed at the child in his concubine's arms, and whispered: "Zhang Ren, look at that child. His name is Fei Xuan, and he is the only heir of Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang. Look at the child's eyes. It's all hatred. If twenty years later, when he knows that you are the one who brought the evidence to accuse his father, do you think he will seek revenge from you?"
Wu Peng stood in front of Zhang Ren and had good ears. Naturally, he heard Gao Haiyong's words. He followed Zhang Ren here today to ransack his house. He really wanted to take revenge. But when he arrived at Pingliang Houfu and saw everything that happened here, he was filled with emotion. The hatred has long been extinguished. Pictures of that year kept flashing through his mind. He was still a child at that time, but his family suffered tragic changes, so he felt more pity for the child of Pingliang Marquis. He could empathize with him and knew that although the child hated him, he still What's more, there is helplessness and fear. At the same time, he was also afraid that his tragedy would happen again to this child.
Wu Peng wanted to hear what Zhang Ren would say. Perhaps because of nervousness, there was a sense of expectation in his heart, and his muscles tightened unconsciously.
Zhang Ren frowned, looked at Gao Haiyong fiercely, gritted his teeth and asked, "What does Gao Qianhu mean by this? He is just a child!"
Gao Haiyong shrugged and said with a smile: "Don't be angry. This is also a kind reminder. The governor has already given instructions. You will be the leader in this operation of searching the house. Even if I am Qianhu, I still have to take the lead in this operation." I obey your orders, so... if you want to kill Fei Ju's son, you can just give the order. It will not only dirty your own hands, but also eliminate a major hidden danger in the future. And I can guarantee that this will never happen. Someone tell me."
Zhang Ren's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he asked Gao Haiyong: "Gao Qianhu, I remember when I first handled a case with you, you said that Jin Yiwei has too many things he can't help himself, and there are many things you can do. I can't do it, but you hope that I can be fair and just. I don't know the other people in Jinyiwei, but I feel that Gao Qianhu can say this, at least he is a good person with conscience. But this is over How long? Why does Gao Qianhu seem to be a different person? I have a bottom line, I will not kill this child today! I will also protect all the people in the Pingliang Hou Mansion!"
