Yan Qi and Xia Ming discussed it again.
Yan Qidao: "I will go out to express my condolences to the various officials. Mr. Xia will go to interrogate Chen Tao. Tonight, we will give the officials a reassurance to prevent them from sleeping at night."
Xia Ming stood up: "Master Yan is vigorous and decisive in his work. Xia admires him. I will go to interrogate Chen Tao right now."
Yan Qi asked: "Can Chen Tao's crime be determined?"
Xia Ming said: "I have already held the evidence of his adultery in my hand, but I have been holding back. Once it is brought out, Chen Tao will undoubtedly die."
"very good!"
Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "Xia Fuyin does things safely and is worthy of being Prime Minister Cao's disciple."
Xia Dongcao covered her ears: "Just flatter each other."
"This kid! How can you call him flattery?" Xia Ming was embarrassed and walked out quickly.
Yan Qi winked at Xia Dongcao: "Wait until I slap your butt at night."
Xia Dongcao covered her butt: "Who asked you to take pictures!"
"Hahaha!"
Yan Qi laughed and walked away.
…
In the hall, everyone was whispering.
A small number of them are Xia Ming's die-hard fans. With Yan Qi's support, they are naturally extremely happy.
But there are a large number of officials who have hidden worries in their smiles.
These officials all stand on the same side as Chen Tao.
In other words, Chen Tao is their direct leader.
Whether active or passive, they are inseparable from Chen Tao.
If Chen Tao falls, they will inevitably be implicated.
Especially, Yan Qi was so cruel.
Everyone's mouths were so congested that it was difficult to swallow the food.
"My lords, please eat and drink well."
Yan Qi walked out with a smile.
Chen Tao's miscellaneous subordinates felt a headache when they saw Yan Qi.
Although Yan Qi gave them some benefits and said some beautiful words.
However, who knows whether Yan Qi is stabilizing the morale of the army.
Some officials asked: "It's so late, isn't Master Yan going to rest?"
Yan Qidao: "My lords haven't rested yet, how can I be lazy? Besides, I have to interrogate Chen Tao all night, and all your lords happen to be here to observe."
"What?"
All the officials exclaimed.
Some of them are die-hard fans of Xia Ming.
They are genuinely happy.
Most of them are Chen Tao's subordinates
.
These people looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to express their nervousness.
"It's over, it's over, what should we do now? Master Yan is going to interrogate Chen Tao. What will happen if Chen Tao confesses us?"
"What else can we do? Yan Qi is so ruthless, we can't escape our involvement."
"Oh, I didn't expect Yan Qi to be so anxious and not let us spend the night. Even if we want to leave, we can't."
…
A group of officials whispered and turned pale with fear.
In his heart, he cursed Yan Qi ten thousand times.
Now, Yan Qi is Daozu, and they are fish and meat.
Not a moment.
Xia Ming led people to escort Chen Tao into the hall.
"Kneel down!"
Tiger head kicked Chen Tao in the crook of his leg.
Plop!
Chen Tao knelt in the hall.
Chen Tao had no way out and glared at Yan Qi angrily: "As an imperial envoy, how dare you publicly avenge yourself? When did I molest Xia Dongcao? All the officials saw it with their own eyes, how could you confuse right and wrong and not distinguish right from wrong in public?"
He was very unconvinced and shouted to all the officials: "Which of you saw me molesting Xia Dongcao? Who? Whoever saw it, please stand up. Stand up for me."
The officials neither dared to offend Yan Qi nor looked at Chen Tao.
They pretended to be deaf and mute and never took a stand.
Chen Tao glared at Yan Qi again: "Did you see that? No one saw me molesting Xia Dongcao! I am innocent, I am innocent, you have no evidence, why are you arresting people indiscriminately? I am the Prime Minister of Hongcheng, and I am from Hongcheng. Second-in-command, you have worked hard and achieved great results, how can you allow an outsider like you to be so arrogant?"
"Besides, I am the Prime Minister appointed by the Nine Kings himself! The Nine Kings think highly of me, and I am also the favorite general of the Nine Kings. The Nine Kings value me very much. Yan Qi, you are wrongly accusing me. I really thought that the Nine Kings would turn a blind eye. Look, are you allowed to do whatever you want? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Yan Qi never expressed his position, smiling as he watched Chen Tao stretch his neck and howl in the hall.
This is a dog that fell into the water, desperately trying to escape.
You bastard, you have done all the bad things, can you run away?
Yan Qi stared at Chen Tao and smiled: "I have investigated the matter of molesting Xia Dongcao clearly. You are innocent."
"Haha, Yan Qi, you still don't dare to touch me."
Chen Tao suddenly became energetic and broke free from the restraints of the guards. He stood up majestically: "If I tell you that I am a member of the Nine Kings, you won't dare to touch me, right? Haha, it seems that in Miao Jiang, One third of an acre,
The Nine Kings are still powerful, and everyone else has to step aside. "
He then pointed at a group of officials: "You'd better be brighter in your tactics and more flexible in your thinking. You have to see clearly and think clearly about who is the real king of Miao territory, hum!"
Chen Tao swaggered out with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
The officials did not expect that Yan Qi would just ignore the responsibility and let the matter go.
"Could it be that Yan Qi is really afraid of the Nine Kings?"
"It's possible. Otherwise, how could Yan Qi let Chen Tao go?"
"Compared with Yan Qi and Jiu Wang, Jiu Wang is still more powerful. We must stand firm."
…
Yan Qi stared at Chen Tao and sneered: "Did I let you go?"
Chen Tao looked back and glared at Yan Qi: "I'm innocent, why don't you let me go? You have everything in the court, but this is Miao territory and the territory of the Nine Kings. The Nine Kings have the final say. How can you be allowed to do whatever you want? ? I’m leaving, what can you do to me? I’m innocent, what can you do to me? Hahaha.”
A sharp light burst out from Yan Qi's eyes: "Come here, capture the guilty minister Chen Tao."
"yes!"
The tiger took a quick step and rushed over.
Chen Tao shouted: "Who dares to take me, I am not a criminal, Yan Qi, you are looking for death..."
The words are not finished yet.
The tiger head grabbed Chen Tao's neck collar, raised it high, and smashed it to the ground.
Plop!
Chen Tao's knee hit the stone floor and he screamed in pain.
"Yan Qi, how dare you act recklessly and arrest people randomly."
Chen Tao screamed: "I will definitely sue you in front of the Nine Kings. In this three-acre area of Miao territory, the Nine Kings have the final say. Who do you think you are? You are just a foreigner. A strong dragon can overwhelm a local snake." Really? Think about the consequences."
"Stop doing this."
Yan Qi said forcefully: "What does it mean that a strong dragon can overwhelm local snakes? I am an imperial envoy of the imperial court, and I am here on behalf of the emperor. Miao territory is Dahua's territory. Of course I can manage it on behalf of the emperor. Hehe, in other words, I am indeed a strong person. A dragon, and he can overwhelm a local snake, are you angry?"
"you……"
Chen Tao screamed: "I am innocent. I did not molest Xia Dongcao. Why do you arrest me?"
Yan Qidao: "The case of indecent assault on Xia Dongcao has been settled. I'm arresting you again for something else! Hey, Chen Tao, you've been exposed."
"What happened?"
After hearing these words, Chen Tao met Yan Qi's sharp eyes.
His shoulders shook and he shuddered.
