The officers went up to grab Hua Lingyang, and he struggled hard in panic.
"No, it really wasn't me! I didn't kill him! I didn't, he bumped into me! Yes, he bumped into me!"
"I am the legitimate son of the Duke's Mansion! You can't arrest me!"
Yu Jinzhi yawned irritably and waved his hand.
"Gag him and take him away!"
Wang Quan and the three Liu sisters were also taken away. Wang Quan turned pale with fear, but the three Liu sisters looked normal.
On the way back to the yamen, he happened to meet Zhang Yu's father Zhang Yuan, who came rushing over with his servants.
His eyes were red and he rushed to Zhang Yu's body with disbelief on his face.
Finally he looked up and looked at Yu Jinzhi.
He asked fiercely with a murderous look on his face.
"Master Yu. Who killed my son?"
Yu Jinzhi was about to speak.
In another direction, Hua Changxiao and his men also rushed over, blocking Yu Jinzhi's way.
When Hua Lingyang saw Hua Changxiao, his eyes immediately lit up as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
"Father, father! Save me! Save me!"
Hua Changxiao glanced at him, and a flash of heartache passed away. Then he looked at Yu Jinzhidao.
"Master Yu, please stay. My son Hua Lingyang is definitely not the murderer! There must be a misunderstanding here! Please have mercy on me..."
Zhang Yuan was confused when he heard what the two said. His eyes widened immediately, and he was filled with murderous intent.
"So it was your son who killed my son?"
Hua Changxiao was stunned and hadn't reacted yet. Why was Zhang Yuan here? He just heard that Hua Lingyang had accidentally killed someone, so he hurried over.
Zhang Yuan shouted loudly.
"Go ahead, avenge the young master! If you kill him, there will be a reward! If you maim him, there will also be a reward!"
When the Zhang family's servants heard this, they immediately raised their sticks and hit Hua Changxiao and Hua Lingyang!
Hua Changxiao was stunned and ran away in panic with his head in his hands.
"Someone, someone, stop them!"
The people brought by Hua Changxiao were a little confused. By the time they reacted, it was too late. Hua Lingyang and Hua Changxiao had been beaten and fled away, their image was completely ruined!
The people brought by Hua Changxiao were no match for them and were beaten to the ground.
Seeing that Zhang Yuan had almost finished beating him, Yu Jinzhi pretended to scold him.
"What are you doing! Stop it!"
The officers and soldiers stepped forward to separate the two sides, and only then did the fight stop.
"You are looking for trouble! Come, take these two groups of people back!"
Hua Changxiao bared his teeth, and just as he stood up straight, he heard this sentence. He pointed at Yu Jinzhi angrily.
"I am a doctor of the Ministry of Works, an official appointed by the imperial court, and I am also a victim! What rights do you have to arrest me?"
Zhang Yuan was originally angry that Yu Jinzhi arrested him, but when he thought of Hua Changxiao being arrested as well, he immediately stopped being angry and stopped making a fuss.
Anyway, his elder brother is Duke Xiao and his elder sister is a concubine. They will find a way to protect him.
When Yu Jinzhi noticed that Zhang Yuan was so sensible, he immediately frowned and said unhappily.
"You two families were fighting with weapons late at night, and everyone saw it! I was ordered to take charge of the public security of Bianjing City! How could I not arrest them!"
"But I have to go to court tomorrow, how can I be arrested by you! Besides, it was Zhang Yuan who hit me first!" This was the first time Hua Changxiao felt so aggrieved.
"You didn't fight back?" Yu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.
Hua Changxiao's face was ashen with anger! How could he fight back? Even if he did, it would not work!
Look at Zhang Yuan standing aside, unharmed.
Hua Changxiao was so angry that he was about to retort.
Yu Jinzhi said again.
"Don't worry, my Lords. I will write a letter to His Majesty to report everything that happened! By then, I think the Emperor will ask you to cooperate with the investigation!"
Hua Changxiao was shocked. If the emperor knew that his son had killed someone and he had engaged in a armed fight with the victim's family, his official career would really be over.
He couldn't help but panic.
"Master Yu, please show some mercy!"
Hua Changxiao had completely lost his former elegance and gauntness. With a bruised face and nose, he approached Yu Jinzhi and stuffed something into his hand.
"Please accept these, Lord Yu!"
Yu Jinzhi was originally looking at him with a smile, but suddenly his expression changed, and he directly took out a few banknotes that Hua Changxiao had stuffed into his pocket.
"Master Hua, you are bribing in public! This is a serious crime! Someone, take them all back!"
Hua Changxiao was stunned. What was going on? I had never heard that Yu Jinzhi was upright and would not accept benefits!
Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and glared at Hua Changxiao with a sneer. Without being told, he led his men to the yamen.
Hua Changxiao, however, looked hopeless. He really failed today!
When they were completely gone, several people came out from the darkness.
They are Hua Changjue, Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi and Hua Lingjian!
Hua Lingyi touched his nose a little uncomfortably.
"I'll take care of this matter! Why are you interfering?"
Hua Changjue patted his shoulder and said nothing.
Hua Lingxuan raised the corners of his lips and said softly.
"I know my second brother will handle it, but I want to use this incident to avenge myself. I hope my second brother doesn't mind!"
Hua Lingyi curled his lips. He thought, you are clearly helping me, and yet you say it in such a high-sounding way.
Seeing several family members working hard for him, I felt warm in my heart. His tone also improved a lot.
"Okay, it's already like this!"
Originally, he planned not to fall into their trap and wait until night to put a sack on Hua Lingyang and beat him until he was half paralyzed.
But, no matter how you look at it, it's not as good as it is now. It has nothing to do with him at all. He is not afraid of being suspected.
Hua Lingyang's murder was a foregone conclusion. If he wasn't beheaded, he would at least be exiled! In any case, he was completely finished.
"But I don't understand why Hua Lingyang killed Zhang Yu?"
Hua Changjian said with a smile.
"It's actually very simple. I have already investigated the relationship between Hua Lingyang, Zhang Yu, and Wang Quan..."
Several people curled their lips in disdain.
"Privately tell Zhang Yu that Hua Lingyang not only played with his feelings, but also gossiped about him to others."
"At night, Zhang Yu came to question Hua Lingyang. It happened that Hua Lingyang was tortured by the three girls and his spirit was a little broken. He finally took out the dagger to defend himself."
"Zhang Yu entered. After the three girls left, the secret guard quietly pushed Hua Lingyang when he was a little confused!"
"Zhang Yu ran right into Hua Lingyang's dagger!"
It sounds simple, but one can imagine how much planning went into it.
Hua Lingyi took a deep breath and bowed to several people.
"Thank you!"
"We're a family, there's no need to thank us!"
"However, it is really thanks to my third brother's cleverness that he thought of bringing Zhang Yuan and Hua Changxiao here at the same time!" Hua Lingxuan said with a smile.
Hua Changjue also nodded.
"This time, not only will Hua Changxiao fail to save Hua Lingyang, he will also have to suffer a lot!"
Hua Lingyi also patted his shoulder gratefully.
Hua Lingjian felt a little embarrassed and spoke in a stammering voice.
"Just go with the flow!"
"However, the old lady will definitely come to look for father tomorrow, and mother will make a fuss! She asks you to save them!" Hua Lingxuan pursed his lips, his eyes full of coldness.
