Magistrate Li narrowed his eyes. The young man in wedding clothes walked with his head held high. He was in the prime of his life and stood out among the crowd at first glance.
"The day before yesterday, I received a report that Miss Chu had been robbed, so I came here to investigate."
Qin Muyu sneered:
"The case from the day before yesterday is only coming now. By the time you, Lord Li, react, the victim's grave will be covered with grass."
The fat on Magistrate Li's face stiffened. What was he talking about?
"Jiangnan is so big, and there are so many things to do. I'm busy all day long, how can I take care of everything?"
"Why don't you guys come back to the yamen with me and cooperate with the investigation? Otherwise, Miss Chu will come to report the case every few days and make me restless."
snort!
Cui Qianjin raised his hand, "Take it away!"
More than a dozen officers and soldiers took action and captured several maids, including Chuyi and Chuer. The scene frightened many guests and they stayed away from them. The Eight Vajra drew their swords.
"What are you doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Li Zhifu pointed his finger and said, "We are a great country like Chu, and the emperor is so majestic. How can we allow you bandits to act so recklessly?"
"You are the one who is so presumptuous!"
Qin Muyu strode forward and said, "You are a foolish, incompetent traitor. You are relying on your status as a prefect to show off your power. You really think you can do whatever the law is. Let me tell you, above the prefect there are prefects, governors, and governors. You can't cover up everything in Jiangnan City."
Ha ha!
Hahaha!
Magistrate Li laughed out loud towards the sky.
A newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger, hahaha!
He is a retainer of the eldest prince. He climbed up from a small county magistrate to the current position of prefect. How could he be a simple character?
Just a few days ago, Miss Chu plotted against him and the eldest prince, and mobilized the people of Jiangnan to unite with them, collect evidence, and send the evidence to the governor.
During those two days, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, for he was afraid that he would lose his official hat.
But what is the result?
The Sixth Prince took action!
He sent his trusted secret guards to intercept all the evidence from the governor and save him.
Hahaha!
He has the Sixth Prince's support, so why would he be afraid of these young men whose hair hasn't even fully grown?
"Whether I cover the sky in Jiangnan City is not up to you, but if you settle down in my Jiangnan territory, you will be under my jurisdiction!"
In Jiangnan, he has the final say!
"Take them away!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Qin Muyu drew his sword with his backhand.
Suddenly, the air was sharp and filled with sparks, and the entire front yard was like a taut bowstring, ready to explode at any moment.
In comparison, the new house is very quiet.
The bride was wearing a red veil, sitting quietly on the wedding bed with her hands folded.
Outside the window, two figures hid in the dark, staring at the surroundings vigilantly, listening for any sounds.
Qin Muxue held the dagger in his sleeve tightly, looked around, and waited for the right time to act.
Lu Yunchu leaned forward slightly, standing beside her, looking at her delicate little face reflected in the mottled candlelight. Her eyes were as shrewd as a leopard's, and even her breathing was barely perceptible, she was lying dormant very well.
She is a martial artist.
He is a martial artist.
How is she weak and unable to take care of herself?
He felt cheated, but also felt that he was being too shy. She didn't care at all, which made him seem like a romantic couple.
Damn it!
Why did you come to provoke him at that time!
"There's movement—" Qin Muxue suddenly grabbed Lu Yunchu's head and cautiously dived into the flowers. Lu Yunchu was caught off guard and ate a mouthful of grass.
Looking up, I saw a black figure clinging to the wall, lurking towards the new house quietly and silently.
It turns out to be a thief!
He tried to murder Brother Ali again and again, and when he failed to set him on fire, he poisoned him. His methods were despicable and shameful.
Today, we will solve the problem from the root!
Qin Muxue pulled out the dagger, and Lu Yunchu held her wrist, "Something seems wrong."
"Brother Lu, what do you mean?"
"He didn't enter the bridal chamber."
"Isn't it for Brother Ali?"
What's going on?
Magistrate Li came here to cause trouble and make noise, wasn't it just to divert everyone's attention so that he could take the opportunity to attack Brother Ali?
Why is this thief hiding under the wall and not moving?
The two were confused, and Lu Yunchu said in a deep voice:
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, let's hide and wait. If we scare them away, it will be difficult to catch them."
Senior Brother Lu is right!
Senior Brother Lu smells really good.
forecourt.
The fierce atmosphere was about to break out.
Since ancient times, the common people have always been the weaker party compared to the officials. Just like now, when officers and soldiers forcibly arrest people and they resist, it is considered beating the officers.
Cui Qianjin's voice was about to break with anger:
"Troublemaker!"
"You are the unruly people who refuse to obey the rules!"
How can ordinary people go against the government?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this group of people are bandits, spies, and traitors.
This sentence touched Qin Muyu's sore spot. As a major general, he valued his reputation as much as his life. How could he allow these people to tarnish it? He went up and slapped him twice.
Cui Qianjin was furious and started fighting with him with a sword in hand.
As a result, I found myself unable to win!
He was so angry that he gave an order and summoned seven or eight officers and soldiers to attack together.
Qin Muyu said sternly, "The governor of Jiangnan is so corrupt. When I return to the capital this time, I will report everything to the Ministry of Personnel."
Cui Qianjin raised his sword and shouted, "Then let's see if you can leave Jiangnan City alive! Capture him!"
Qin Muyu kicked the table and smashed the chair, making a loud bang and clang noise.
Only when the noise in the front yard becomes loud and everyone's attention is focused on the front yard will the murderer relax his vigilance.
He smashed it quite a bit.
Sweating all over.
Ali was right. The wedding dress was indeed too heavy. It was a burden to wear. It was difficult to move during a fight. He was pounced on by eight soldiers and captured like a wolf or a tiger.
Cui Qianjin strode forward and punched him in the stomach twice.
"Ugh! How dare you hit this young general!"
"You are a major general, and I am the great general who protects the country! You are just a greenhorn, you are not even worthy of carrying my shoes!" Cui Qianjin kicked him hard.
Qin Muyu let out a muffled cry, his eyes were fierce. He had been to so many places in his life, but he had never seen such an arrogant and despicable local government.
"My uncle is a bastard. He only cares about enjoying himself in the imperial capital all year round. He indulges you guys in collusion. Xiao Yexing, you bastard!"
Li Zhifu supported his hands on his waist and stood lazily on the steps, "Yo!"
Is Governor Xiao his uncle?
He had never heard that Governor Xiao had a nephew so old.
In the Jiangnan area, all the land and sea troops in one state and five cities were under the command of Xiao Yexing. His power was far greater than that of the governor of Jiangnan. What's more, Governor Xiao worked for the Regent, and his immediate superior was the Regent. Even when the Emperor of Chu wanted to support him, he would first consult the Regent.
Li Zhifu said sarcastically:
"You little thief, you want to claim your relatives, but Governor Xiao doesn't know you."
"How about you call me grandpa, and I might accept you as my grandson; otherwise, call your uncle over. I want to take a good look at who your uncle is."
As soon as the words fell, outside the lakeside cottage in the gloomy night, a man's voice sounded like the sound of a distant bell, striking directly at him:
"I am his uncle!"
