Duan Yuqing was startled.
I don’t know what kind of tricks Yan Qi is playing.
Yan Qi stretched out her hand: "Come on, tie me up. I asked you to catch me, but you still don't dare? Aren't you seeking justice for Zheng Ding? Why, are you feeling guilty now?"
"Arrogant!"
Duan Yuqing said with a ferocious smile: "Come here, tie up Yan Qi."
The officer will take action when he comes forward.
Yan Qi smiled slightly: "You have thought about it, do you really want to tie me up?"
Duan Yuqing sneered: "How can I be afraid of you?"
Yan Qi's face was full of constriction: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Duan Yuqing was so angry that she blurted out: "If I were afraid of you, my surname would not be Duan."
Zheng Ding added fuel to the fire: "Master Duan, what you do is to safeguard justice and promote the law. Prime Minister Yang must be very happy. Just go ahead and arrest Yan Qi. Don't be afraid of anything. Prime Minister Yang It’s your biggest support.”
Duan Yuqing became even more courageous and shouted: "Why don't you tie up Yan Qi quickly?"
The guards struck three times, five times and two times, and tied Yan Qi tightly.
Zheng Ding was very proud and circled around Yan Qi three times, saying meaningfully: "Just now, I was waiting for the red hat, but now I am a prisoner. Isn't this a sour feeling?"
Yan Qi was not afraid at all: "I didn't feel sour, but it was really refreshing."
"How dare you speak so harshly."
Zheng Ding grinned: "Master Duan, please take away Yan Qi quickly and interrogate him! You must remember that Prime Minister Yang will always pay attention to this matter. I hope you can enforce the law impartially and give Prime Minister Yang a satisfactory explanation."
"Don't worry, Zheng Shangshu. I have tried cases for many years and have rich experience. I will naturally convict Yan Qi in accordance with the law. Prime Minister Yang, just rest assured."
Duan Yuqing didn't do anything for Zheng Ding before, because there would be no benefit if he did it.
Yang Ke steps in and asks him to do something.
This is a good opportunity for meritorious service and promotion.
From then on, I caught up with Prime Minister Yang, and my career was just around the corner.
Duan Yuqing was particularly happy and waved his hand: "Take Yan Qi back to Dali Temple for interrogation."
Yan Qi asked: "Don't be busy. I'll ask Master Duan first. After asking, it won't be too late for you to take me away."
"Too many things!"
Duan Yuqing looked sarcastic: "You can ask if you want. After all, it will be difficult for you to come out after entering Dali Temple. Hehe, it's too late to say a word."
Yan Qi didn't take it seriously, stared at Duan Yuqing, and smiled maliciously: "Do you know the reason why Zheng Ding beat the people of Guoping?"
Duan Yuqing hummed: "That has nothing to do with me."
Yan Qi seemed to be saying to himself: "Oh, it has nothing to do with you, right? Hey, I also want to tell you a rumor that everyone knows."
Duan Yuqing asked casually: "A rumor that everyone knows? What rumor?"
Yan Qidao: "There are rumors in the streets that Zheng Ding beat up the Guoping people because Zheng Ding had a conflict with the late prince. Zheng Ding hated the house and vented his anger on the Guoping people. Who made the Guoping people? Where is the prince's master? Hehe!"
"ah?"
When Duan Yuqing heard this, his mind exploded.
Senseless.
Not a word could come out.
He looked back at Zheng Ding and then at Fan Tong.
Later, he looked at Qi Ying again.
He didn't know what to do.
His mind was filled with this rumor that everyone knew.
Yan Qi smiled: "Master Duan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stupid? You are talking."
Duan Yuqing calmed down for a long time and asked Yan Qi timidly: "Who did you listen to?"
Yan Qidao: "Everyone knows! Mr. Duan, it's impossible for you not to know. You have already arrested me. You obviously have a deep understanding of the case. How could you not know this news? Are you doing this?" Just pretending to be stupid."
Duan Yuqing felt dizzy for a while.
He suddenly realized that he was stupid, so he turned to the sky, got into trouble, and pushed the shit basin on his head.
"What should I do?"
Duan Yuqing looked back at Zheng Ding, his eyes full of doubts.
Zheng Ding's face turned pale.
Duan Yuqing called out softly: "Zheng Ding, you...you..."
ah!
Zheng Ding suddenly came back to his senses, jumped violently, and yelled like crazy: "Rumors are just rumors. How can the prince and I have any feud? There is no festival, absolutely no festival. It's all made up. Randomly made.”
Yan Qi chuckled: "Yes, no one said it was true. I also said it was a rumor. Don't believe it. Don't believe it. Dear students and fellow villagers, have you heard of this rumor? Please? Don’t believe it.”
Everyone was talking.
"Of course I have heard of it. It has been spread in the teahouse for a long time."
"But is this a rumor? Is it true? Zheng Ding had a conflict with the late prince. It seems to be a fact that everyone knows."
"This kind of statement has been spread all over the streets for a long time. I didn't expect that there are still people who don't know about it."
…
After hearing what everyone said, Zheng Ding was so shocked that his scalp went numb.
"Nonsense, you are talking nonsense. Where does the conflict between me and the prince come from? There is no conflict, not at all, and never has been."
"You gang of traffickers and lackeys, whoever dares to speak nonsense again, I will cut his tongue and say, tell me, I will see if any of you dare to speak nonsense again."
Everyone shut up and didn't dare to speak.
Yan Qi shook his head: "Zheng Shangshu is so majestic."
Zheng Ding could frighten the people, but how could he frighten Fan Tong, Qi Ying, and Duan Yuqing.
Especially Duan Yuqing, he felt so hateful.
To say this is purely
rumor?
That's bullshit.
The conflict between Zheng Ding and the prince is not just empty talk.
Any official who served in the capital ten years ago knows this fact.
At that time, Zheng Ding was the minister of household affairs. For some unknown reason, he did not give the prince enough money and food to go on an expedition, which affected the prince's efforts to put down the rebellion in neighboring countries.
The prince was furious and slapped Zheng Ding twice in public.
Everyone knows this.
Zheng Ding knelt down at that time and obeyed the prince's words, not daring to disobey him.
However, the prince is dead.
Did Zheng Ding forget about this big-eared guy just because the prince was dead?
impossible.
Zheng Ding could not take revenge on the prince.
However, it is very possible for the Guoping people to take the opportunity to retaliate.
Who made the people from Guoping the prince's master?
Moreover, the prince and the people of Guoping have a deep relationship.
When the prince was seven years old, he began to study with the people of Guoping.
Learn until you are twenty-five.
Eighteen years of relationship, living together day and night, called master and apprentice, but in fact they are like family members.
The more Duan Yuqing thought about it, the more creepy he felt.
I am such a tiger.
He actually stepped into the quagmire.
This matter involves the prince, how can it be good?
The emperor only had such a son, and this son died in Hongcheng.
Zhao Ding actually waited for an opportunity to take revenge on the prince.
The more you taste this, the more chills you get down your spine.
Fan Tong and Qi Ying looked at each other with complicated eyes.
In addition to being frightened, Fan Tong looked at Yan Qi with a hint of gratitude.
There was only one step left before he would be implicated.
If he was the one who detained Yan Qi just now, he would be in trouble.
My butt is full of cake.
It is clear.
Yan Qi took good care of him and was very kind and did not let him take the blame.
Unfortunately for Duan Yuqing, he offended Yan Qi and took the blame.
Fan Tong sighed in his heart: Yan Qi, thank you for showing mercy to me.
