"My lord, please forgive me for not taking on this big case without permission!"
The surrounding guards swarmed up and dragged down the bleeding assassins. When the screams disappeared, Bai Yousi, who was sitting still, calmly handed over to Zhan'er.
"Why?" Jiang Du Liushou, who had a sinister face and a huge waist, was furious. "I asked you to come to beat the autumn wind, and then I came here eagerly for thousands of miles. I asked you to do your duties, but you showed off your face. Is this how Jing'an Taiwan does things? No wonder the officials and people in Yangzijin are so angry when they see you leave. Jump up!"
Bai Yousi finally chuckled, but actually ignored Lai Zhan'er. Instead, he turned to look at Zhou Xiaoming: "Duke Zhou, as the saying goes, Zhou will never leave, and coming will never leave Zhou. Can you please stay behind and calm down for us? Could you please say a few words to this junior who is new here?"
The majestic Lai Zhan'er became more and more angry, as powerful as a king. However, as the thin Zhou Xiaoming raised his hand to block it, he became quiet again. The latter also seriously raised his hand to Bai Yousi and replied: "Inspection Bai, everyone. They are all officials appointed by the imperial court, and no one here is allowed to speak based on their age, official position, or cultivation."
Lai Zhan'er didn't feel annoyed. Instead, he sneered, sat back on his chair, picked up the undrinked drink and drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay." When Bai Yousi saw this, he immediately wanted to speak, but suddenly he was stunned, and then shook his head slightly. "Forget it, let my subordinates tell Duke Zhou and Duke Lai."
All the people in Jinyi were startled for a moment. Hu Yan and others all looked at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing was also startled for a moment, but he suddenly woke up and stepped forward and raised his hands to the two big figures in front of him: "Zhou Gong, Lai Gong... The lower official Zhang Xing, who is patrolling the White Ribbon in Jing'antai, does not dare to make unreasonable comments, but just says..." Let’s talk about things.”
"Say it."
Zhou Xiaoming, who was standing in the hall, was not as polite to Zhang Xing as he was to Bai Yousi. He just held the saber just sent by the guard with one hand and raised it slightly with the other hand, clearly urging him.
"It's like this. Since ancient times, whether it is the Jinyi patrol of the current dynasty, the Weiantai of the previous dynasty, or the Tiqi beside Emperor Bai, there are rules passed down. The most famous , is the rule of three avoidances of silence, which means that when encountering a case, there are three situations. Instead of taking care of them, special patrols like us must avoid and remain silent..." Zhang Xing held up three fingers and spoke sincerely. "What a coincidence, today's matter actually covers all three aspects."
Lai Zhan'er on the first seat was a little surprised. Zhou Xiaoming, who was standing in the hall after a few cases, was doubtful. Duke Zhao of Beiya and Xie Juncheng were slightly curious. The Fu of Jingan Taitung Town, who was standing next to him with his hands tied, was a little surprised. Zhu Shou and Liao En, Si's companion, began to doubt life - he had only been in Jiangdu for three years, why couldn't he understand the Dongdu dialect?
But if you look around, you can see that this guy is not talking about what he is talking about. The twenty-something people below Inspector Bai are also arranged neatly and have serious expressions on their faces... Could it be that I am getting old and have forgotten these things?
"The first thing is to stay true to your orders." Not to mention Liao Zhushou's random thoughts, on the other hand, Zhang Xing had already continued to talk. "The meaning is easy to understand. Patrol riders have missions when they go out. No matter how difficult or difficult the mission is, they all do it as Qin Ming. Of course, you can take care of other cases when you encounter them, but you must make arrangements for Qin Ming's duties. Appropriate... But now, we have not seen the supplementary grains paid by the counties in Jiangdong, and we have not even received a promise from the counties in Jiangdong. How dare we interfere in his case so easily?"
At this point, Zhang Xingfu looked at Bai Yousi who was looking at him blankly: "Inspection inspection, if I remember correctly, I escaped from Luolongtan at the beginning of this year, carried the body on my back, and killed four or five people to rob me. Bandits in Boots, you led your colleagues to face the case and were determined to pursue me to the end. You should have completed your patrol orders first and sent Li Twelve Lang to separate routes to Guidong City to make a report, right?"
Bai Yousi immediately responded seriously: "Not bad."
Almost everyone in the other patrols with many qualifications nodded.
Zhou Xiaoming, the deputy left behind, pursed his lips and looked at Lai Zhan'er with some helplessness. Unexpectedly, Lai Zhan'er instead stared seriously at Zhang Baishou of Jing'antai who was talking eloquently.
"The second thing is to respond immediately."
Zhang Xing didn't care at all about Lai Zhan'er's gaze and continued to speak with a lot of joy in his mouth.
"This one is even simpler. It is almost universally understood by everyone in the officialdom. What it means is that you must not take on a mystery case that you have no clue about when you first come here, or that you suddenly encounter in person. Otherwise, you will not become a tool for others... And This article is especially critical in the Jinyi Patrol, because the Jinyi Patrol has both the power of temporary arrest and the right to kill on the spot, as well as the Black Tower Prison. Once someone takes advantage of it and hastily intervenes, it will often cause irreversible consequences. …Many injustices were caused in this way, and when it was later found out, it could only be that way.”
As he spoke, Zhang Xing slightly cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lai, please put yourself in your shoes and think about it. From the perspective of us patrolmen, is today's case too coincidental?"
Lai Zhan'er still stared at Zhang Xing without moving, but Zhou Xiaoming wanted to speak for a moment, and Bai Yousi was also thinking about it, preparing to stop the other person's mouth with these official words.
But Zhang Sanlang did not give everyone the opportunity to speak: "But the first two are nothing, especially since Lai Gong and Zhou Gong are one, and they are the confidants of the saint. It is because of these two that we people have suffered a lot of grievances. What the heck is that? The key is the third iron rule... party disputes should not matter!"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiaoming's expression changed slightly before he took a step forward and stared. "This Zhang Baishou might as well speak more clearly!"
"Then let me speak as clearly as possible."
Facing a high-ranking official from Zhuguo and deputy left-behind, who was actually very likely to take on real left-behind responsibilities, Zhang Xing was not afraid at all, and even raised his voice an octave.
"What is the Jinyi Patrol? They are the personal soldiers of the saints, the minions of the royal family, and the central eagle dogs. They can care about nothing except the Zhongzhi and Zhongcheng Jun's order... We can take care of the so-called punishment department and Bei Yamen's affairs, the punishment department We can also take care of things that Hebei Ya can’t take care of. What we do is life, death, imprisonment, and imprisonment! To put it bluntly, we are using the imperial power to perform special espionage! But the more this happens, the more there are two huge taboos. , one is to fight against superiors, not to step beyond the bounds and participate in royal political disputes; the other is to fight against subordinates, since they have the imperial power, they cannot easily participate in party disputes in the court and local infighting without clear instructions, which will cause people to misunderstand the emperor's will and be biased. !”
"Everyone here is loyal to the saint, how can there be party strife and internal fighting?!" Zhou Xiaoming's face turned pale, but Lai Zhan'er was furious. "Who would be partial to the emperor's will?"
"Then the official will not save face." Zhang Xing pointed at the dead Liu Jing. "The real power and dignitaries in Jiangdu are none other than the chief and deputy left guard present today, the governor of Beiya, the imperial county magistrate, and the assistant capital Zhu Shou of Taidong Town, Jing'an, plus this person...and apart from this person, everyone below Zilai Gong, They are all the old people of Nanchen, yes or no?!"
"Zhang Baishou is so bold." Zhou Xiaoming finally spoke again, but he only responded in a low voice and coldly. "Don't be dissatisfied with Yang Zijin's affairs and make your own guesses."
"We didn't want to make any guesses. It was Lai Gong and Zhou Gongfei who asked us to check. If we came to check, the first thing we could think of was this joint! How dare we check so that we don't make any unauthorized guesses?!" Zhang Xing had no idea at all. Ignoring the scolding from the deputy guard, he just looked around at the dignitaries in the hall. "You guys are so persuasive, do you have to ask us, a group of Jinyi patrolmen who came to escort the food, to stand in the left-behind hall and ask the princes of Jiangdu... Is this Jiangdu city the Jiangdu of Wei or the Jiangdu of Nanchen?!"
The whole hall was silent, Lai Hu'er twisted his beard without moving. Duke Zhao and others looked pale and folded their hands in silence, while Zhou Xiaoming tightened his grip on his saber.
But at this moment, Bai Yousi suddenly poured himself a glass of wine calmly, and the wine poured into the glass, attracting everyone to look at it.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lai." When the female inspector saw everyone coming to see them, she smiled and held a cup in front of them. "Don't get me wrong, Zhang Baishou made it very clear that we don't want to investigate, but we are here to investigate... How can you scold us just because we 'come to investigate'? Let's leave this matter as it is for now." Please think it through carefully before speaking."
Zhou Xiaoming came to his senses, lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, let go of his hand, and cupped his hands slightly: "Niece Xian is right. You are here to wait for food. You have to carry out the emperor's order first. We will check this matter ourselves first."
"Then let's say goodbye first." Bai Yousi stood up and returned the salute respectfully. He also saluted Lai Zhan'er, and then he wanted to leave the house with his sword.
Zhang Xing and others quickly turned around and prepared to follow.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Lai Zhan'er suddenly spoke.
"Come, Mr. Bai?" Bai Yousi bowed and made a gesture of asking for instructions in the blood-stained, wine-meat-filled lobby.
"Wait a moment." Lai Zhan'er stood up from his seat and came back to the hall, saying as he walked. "If you don't want to investigate the case, you don't want to investigate it. What's the big deal... But that Bai Shou named Zhang, please come forward."
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then instinctively turned around and took a few steps forward. When he raised his head, he felt a sudden chill running down his spine.
It turned out that Zhan'er was huge and talented. When he stood in front of him, he realized that the opponent was like a giant. In addition, the opponent was a world-renowned general and master, and he was about to become a master. It gave him a sense of oppression. Laman... to put it to the extreme, I was just sitting next to me and bragging about my mother's skin, which angered others. If the other party was condescending at this time and didn't care about anything, he would just slap him into pieces with a white ribbon. Mud, can we still be saved?
But there is no way to save him if he runs away at this time, right?
As soon as he thought about it, Zhang Xing went all out and saluted with his hands raised: "Come on, sir."
Lai Zhan'er actually reached out and patted Zhang Xing on the shoulder, without even using his energy: "What did you say your name was?"
"Zhang Xing." Zhang Xing was determined, as long as he didn't shoot him to death.
"Where are you from?"
"Northlanders."
"Being a demon guard?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing gritted his teeth and nodded as he thought about the documents he had read.
"You said you escaped from Luolongtan at the beginning of this year?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing became more determined.
"What army, or which one?"
"The middle base army should have turned around later..." Zhang Xing tried to remember.
"Are you the only one who escaped?" Lai Zhan'er's tone became gentler. "What about carrying a corpse?"
"A group of fifty people. I have forgotten how many days they fought and how many people died. In the end, only one of my companions escaped together." Zhang Xing raised his head and answered blankly. "But that partner also died later. Before his death, he promised to be buried in Hongshan."
Laizhan'er suddenly realized, and then sighed: "I can't help you with what happened at Luolongtan, but at that time Yang Shen rebelled, and I really had no choice... I made a big mistake when I conquered Dongyi; when I conquered Dongyi, I made a big mistake. Yi, I'm so powerless... Zhang Xing, I think you are a good man with integrity and generosity, why don't you join our army, there is always a future for you as a captain."
Zhang Xing shook his head: "When I came back from Luolongtan and took shelter in the rainforest, I had an idea. I would never throw away my life in a useless place... I can risk my life to do things, but Zheng Things like Dongyi have to wait until I see clearly."
"I won't force you either." Lai Zhan'er nodded and called back. "Take a hundred taels of silver and two pieces of brocade and send them over later."
Zhang Xing didn't hesitate and handed over his hand directly: "Lai Gong has good intentions, but I am alone and have no home and room. I would like to turn it into a reward for my peers."
"Okay." Lai Zhan'er turned around again. "Ten taels of silver and a piece of brocade for each person, sent to the palace to calm the shock of the brocade-clad knights and also to wash the dust."
All the patrolmen hurriedly handed over their hands.
"No need to thank me, it's what you guys asked for." Lai Zhan'er said, stepped on the mess on the ground, and turned out.
All the patrolmen also stood up and hurriedly followed Bai Yousi out of this place of right and wrong.
When I walked outside, there was no sound.
On the way to the palace, Hu Yan finally couldn't help lowering his voice and asked: "Which ancient book did Zhang Sanlang read the theory of three avoidance of silence?"
In the dusk, Zhang Xing glanced at the other party and saw that the other party had a serious face, but he was embarrassed to say anything.
But Qin Bao couldn't help but smile from behind:
"Actually, Brother Zhang didn't read it from a specific book, but he summarized it himself. He was already preparing to submit it to the Black Tower before he came."
Hu Yan was slightly stunned.
Zhang Xing also nodded repeatedly.
Qian Tang and Li Qingchen, on the other hand, had their teeth ached because they didn't know the basics.
While he was talking, everyone was so angry that they were in front of the palace, so they dismounted and entered the Forbidden Army station. However, there was no time to rest and recuperate. Bai Yousifu suddenly sent an order, asking several members of the elite core team below Hu Yan to go to a place in the center of the station. Let’s have a little discussion on the balcony.
Zhang Xing was naturally among them, and he was questioned without hesitation.
"Zhang San, how could you be so bold to say that?" When he came here, Bai Yousi became furious. "Aren't you afraid that Duke Zhou will chop you with his sword?"
Zhang Xing was startled for a moment, then simply smiled in a low voice: "Of course it was the inspection that gave me the courage."
Bai Yousi shook his head repeatedly and asked again: "Not to mention your reasonable nonsense, what do you think of the case?"
"How can we see it?" Zhang Xing spread his hands and smiled bitterly. "The patrol inspector has ten times more experience in handling cases than I do...If you ask me, of course it could be a borrowed knife, killing two birds with one stone, some people's deliberate efforts, internal strife, or a show of force, but it's also possible that it was just a coincidence, and it was just a hasty assassination. !Since ancient times, the best conspiracy is accident, because accidents cannot be avoided."
"That's right, the case was found out." Hu Yan expressed his agreement. "However, I really think Zhang Sanlang's words are reasonable and fall into place."
"We must seek truth from facts and leave no stone unturned, but how can there be so many conspiracies and conspiracies in the world?" Qian Tangdi, who didn't speak much today, also spoke weakly. "If you ask me, there are many True Fire Sects in the southeast, and they have gradually become unstable in recent years. Among the True Fire Sects, there are also the most female masters."
Bai Yousi nodded: "I have seen that female assassin's technique before... so I kept it in check... It does look like the method of the True Fire Cult."
"So, are we going to take care of this?" Zhang Xing suddenly asked under the light.
"It's better to wait." Qian Tang continued. "Sooner or later, this matter will fall into our hands. Let the Liushou Mansion beg us and give us power..."
Quite a few people agreed.
"I'm afraid that Zhang Sanlang's words went too far, and the Liushou Mansion didn't even dare to look for us." Li Qingchen also muttered.
A few people nodded.
"Since we are members of the Jinyi Patrol Team, we should not say that we have a mountain of law enforcement, but we should have some solid foundations. Such a big case is right in front of us, how can we ignore it?" At this moment, Bai Yousi raised his eyebrows and looked around. "Let Zhang Sanlang speak today just to avoid falling into a trap and becoming a tool for others. But since I have successfully escaped, I naturally have to find out the truth myself. No matter who dares to take advantage of us or ignore us, we will You have to pay for it with your wealth and life! What do you think?"
From Hu Yan down, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, Zhang Xing, Qin Bao, and many other elites all surrendered.
After Zhang Xing handed over his hand, he burst into laughter again - it seemed that he no longer needed to make up a three-must rule again.
