Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Unexpectedly, these government officials arrived so quickly. Lin Yan and others were a little shocked at the efficiency of the government office. Sure enough, there was someone in the government who was easy to do things!
Wei Meng first turned his questioning eyes to Lin Yan, and only answered when the latter nodded.
The leading officer looked him up and down, and then said: "By order of Master Shaoyin, Wei Meng, please come with us!"
The latter hesitated for a moment. After all, he was now a death row prisoner and still a fugitive. Although there were some reasons for this, it still required a strong psychological quality to go to court with such arrogance.
In the end, Wei Meng gritted his teeth and left with the messenger. After all, some things had to be faced by himself. Now that he finally had a chance to bring the murderer to justice, he had to fight even if it meant mountains of swords and seas of fire!
Before leaving, Li Zongsheng pulled the leading official aside and said something. The official slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, young master, I'm just taking him for questioning this time. With Mr. Shaoyin here, there will be no worries!"
After that, a group of government officials took Wei Meng away. Because of Li Zongsheng's face, they didn't put any shackles on him.
Seeing Wei Meng leaving, everyone was a little worried, but they couldn't help him for the time being and could only wait for news.
…
On the other side, Wei Meng followed a group of government servants to the court. Above him was Li Kaizhi, the young Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, who was also the father of Li Zongsheng, sitting upright.
Ever since Li Zongsheng hurried home and told him the whole story of the Wei Meng incident, he immediately paid attention to it. Under his rule, such lawlessness and disregard for human life happened. How could he not be ashamed and ashamed?
So he immediately sent a government official to bring Wei Meng back and inquire him carefully before dealing with him. After all, the matter involved the only son of a county prince and a group of powerful people, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
But he is not afraid! In a place like Chang'an City, there are as many royal relatives, powerful people and wealthy businessmen as there are crucian carp crossing the river. Not to mention that you can hit one just by throwing a brick outside the wall. At least they are not rare items that have not been seen for eight hundred years. It's not like his name alone can scare him.
At this time, Wei Meng was already kneeling down in the hall, waiting for the adults to ask questions.
Master Shaoyin patted the gavel as usual, and then asked: "Is the person kneeling in the hall Wei Meng?"
When Wei Meng heard this, he raised his head and said, "It's just the common people!"
Master Shaoyin then asked: "What grievances do you have? Tell me immediately!"
When Wei Meng heard this, he told the story exactly how his wife was tortured and how he reported to the government and had no way out before he took action in anger. Of course, what Lin Yan and others helped him afterwards had nothing to do with this case, so there was no such thing. mentioned.
There was a swordsman on the side who had already written down what he had just said word for word on paper. This was the reason why Master Shaoyin already knew about this matter, but still wanted Wei Meng to tell it again in court.
Only if the procedures comply with the regulations can we be more confident in identifying the murderers later!
What Wei Meng said made these government officials unable to help but feel indignant. Although their status is much higher than that of Wei Meng, in the final analysis, they are actually people from the bottom. Today's Wei Meng may be tomorrow's They feel the same way.
Master Shaoyin threw the command arrows on the table down the hall and said loudly: "Come on, catch all these murderers and bring them to the hall for interrogation!"
Chief Inspector Lei Li took the order and left, and his officers were divided into several teams to capture the criminals respectively.
Lei Li personally led a group of people to Prince Ye County's Mansion. After all, this was not an easy job. If anyone else had done it, they would probably have messed it up. So I had no choice but to go there myself.
Jingzhao Mansion has a special status in Chang'an City. Not to mention the son of a county prince, even the official relatives of the emperor have been interrogated.
However, whether you have the power to interrogate is one thing, and whether you can bring someone over is another.
If the target this time is a powerful person like Yejun Wangfu, if he shouts for arrest as soon as he comes to the door, he will probably not be able to get a favor, so he has to use some roundabout techniques.
Not long after, a group of people arrived in front of the Yejun Prince's Mansion. After being informed, all the government officials entered in an orderly manner. After all, they were not as comfortable as arresting people in ordinary people's homes.
After receiving the courtesy, Lei Li did not dare to say that he was here to arrest Li Qiming. Instead, he said that there was a case where the prince was present and asked him to testify.
Who is Prince Ye? Having been in the officialdom for many years, he is a human spirit-like existence, and he can tell with just a glance that this matter is not simple.
He knew what kind of thing his son was. He was domineering and evil-doing outside, and others had to avoid him when they saw him.
If there is any case that requires his assistance, I'm afraid he is the main culprit in this case!
To say that the county prince is indeed very scheming, he can guess the matter very well after just a little thought!
Prince Ye chuckled, looked at Lei and said sternly: "Captain Lei, you are a naughty boy. How can you be a good witness? I am afraid that I will miss the arrest and delay the progress of the case. Please ask the chief to find someone else!"
Lei Li suddenly had a look of embarrassment on his face, and secretly cursed "Old Fox" in his heart, but he still handed over his hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, your humble position is also your responsibility, please don't be embarrassed!"
Prince Ye snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "What if I don't let you go today?"
When Lei Li heard this, he bent even lower, looked at his feet, and kept his hands arched as before, saying: "I don't dare to offend because of my humble position, but I can only repay you truthfully. Your Excellency, I will just report it again!"
Prince Ye's eyes froze when he heard this, and he said angrily: "How dare you threaten me, you are so powerful!"
Lei Li hurriedly said: "I don't dare to do this in a humble position!"
Prince Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lei Li, who seemed to have bowed his head in the dust. He didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, King Ye's expression softened and he said with a smile: "Isn't it just to assist in handling the case? Just let the child follow me!"
Lei Li was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord County!"
Then, Prince Ye ordered the people around him to call Li Qiming out, and then handed him over to Lei Li.
As the person involved, Li Qiming didn't know what happened. Lei Li briefly explained it to him. Unexpectedly, this guy was very happy and said to himself: "I've been tired of all the fun places recently and I'm bored. Well, you’re here! Come on, tell me, isn’t it so much fun in court?”
Lei Li was a little confused by the scene in front of him, thinking: Is this guy really stupid or pretending to be stupid?
But he didn't show it too much on his face, he just said: "His Royal Highness, you are joking!"
Although Prince Ye on the side didn't say anything, his slightly twitching eyebrows and clenched fists in his sleeves showed that he was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
I have been shrewd all my life, but when I gave birth to a son, he looked like this. I really don’t know who he followed!
Now that he has met his true master, Lei Li does not dare to delay any longer. If the county prince suddenly changes his mind later, it will be great fun!
So he left immediately and took the crown prince Li Qiming away. Of course, he had to wait on him and coax him to the lobby first.
After Lei Li and his party left, Prince Ye immediately asked the housekeeper to summon all the servants who had been following Li Qiming in the past few days.
He stood on the steps, looked at the servants coldly, and said, "What trouble has the prince caused in the past few days?"
The few servants below were cowering in fear. After looking at each other, no one dared to speak.
The county prince waved his hand impatiently and said to the housekeeper: "Take them all out to feed the dogs!"
The housekeeper was about to ask the guards in the palace to take action, but these servants rushed to argue with each other.
snort! What a bunch of bitches! If you don't hold me back, you will go backwards!
The housekeeper thought with disdain, and stopped what he was doing when he saw this.
Then Prince Ye looked at a servant whose name was the happiest and said, "Tell me what you say!"
The servant hurriedly said to Prince Ye, "Your Majesty, the prince has not done anything special in the past few days. It's just that two days ago, he fell in love with a brothel prostitute, and it happened that a blind boy came to compete with the prince. "
"What kind of person is the Crown Prince? How can he be compared to those wealthy upstarts? As soon as he left the house, His Highness the Crown Prince dealt with him. He must have crossed the Naihe Bridge now!"
The evil servant was still talking to himself, and his words were full of pride, as if he was the one who used his power to bully others and take human life lightly, although he did have a share.
At this time, Prince Ye's face was already gloomy and terrifying, and he thought to himself: This kid is really becoming more and more lawless! Forget about being a playboy and a prodigal, he is just causing trouble and cheating!
Seeing that the evil servant below wanted to continue talking, Prince Ye waved his hand and said: "You talk too much, bury it!"
The evil servant's words suddenly stopped, and then he looked at Prince Ye in horror, wondering what he had done wrong. After a moment, he started wailing hysterically, begging the Prince for forgiveness.
However, the guards in the mansion ignored him and dragged him out, dug a hole and buried him, and the wailing sound disappeared.
The remaining evil servants all had frightened eyes, remained silent, and did not dare to express their anger, for fear that it would be their turn next.
"Okay, let's each play twenty big boards and see the effect!" The county prince left these words and turned around to leave. After a while, there were bursts of wailing.
The princess of the county heard about her son being taken away by the government officials, so she came to make trouble with the prince of the county and asked him to get her son back quickly.
"Hmph! What a loser a loving mother is! It's because of you that he's become like this!" Prince Ye shook his sleeves and said angrily.
"It's all me, but you don't have a share? Don't forget, this son also has a share of you!" The princess felt sorry for her son and contradicted him.
"You..." Prince Ye didn't bother to argue with her, so he turned his head and ignored her.
Seeing the prince's appearance, the princess also softened and begged: "Your Majesty, Ming'er has never suffered much since he was a child. Now that he is taken away by people from Jingzhao Mansion, God knows what kind of injustice he will suffer inside. You have to Hurry up and think of a solution!"
"I can do anything! What can I do! This is all his own doing! Do you know who are the people in Jingzhao Mansion? Although the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is only a third-rank official, he is directly under the control of the emperor. The other ministries are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the government. If I go, it will be a blatant challenge to the emperor's majesty, do you know?" Prince Ye said angrily.
The princess was shocked when she heard this, and then she lost her mind. She only had such a son. Although he was usually naughty, the princess cared for him very much.
Seeing the worried look on the princess's face, Prince Ye comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't worry, even if people from Jingzhao Mansion want to touch my son, they have to think carefully!"
He hugged the princess and looked into the distance, thinking: It seems that I have to go find him...
