Chapter 164 I, the eldest prince, will surrender immediately

The people from Qintianjian were really accurate in their predictions. Just as the three members of the Xie family returned from the Shen family, the rain started to fall heavily.

The raindrops hit the ground, splashing high up.

The rain in the capital city fell all the way to Yanzhou.

The eldest prince was standing in front of the Shi family's gate on horseback. Even though he was wearing an oilskin coat, he could still feel the raindrops hitting his body.

"Catch someone and tell me all the details. Go in and tie up all their family members."

Two days ago, when the eldest prince and his entourage had just left the capital, they sent people to sneak into Yanzhou to protect the prefect Liu Mingchong and his family. Otherwise, with so many people following behind, they would be discovered before they even got close to Yanzhou.

This was indeed the case. Before they entered Yanzhou, a so-called Tongzhi came and said that the prefect had sent him to greet them, but in fact he was secretly trying to find out their identities.

The eldest prince was afraid that this man would go back and send a message to ruin their plan to arrest someone, so he simply kidnapped this Tongzhi and the people he brought with him and threw them away.

After entering Yanzhou city, the eldest prince and Yuwen Muqiao pretended to meet Liu Mingchong. Only then did he understand that the man they arrested was called Shi Jiarui, the third son of the Shi family. He was sweet-talking and good at dealing with people, and seemed to be spoiled by the old lady of the Shi family.

The eldest prince has never done such a thing in his life. It's like being a thief and he has to disguise himself. If he were to talk about this cancerous and crappy family, he would just take the imperial army to destroy it.

Liu Mingchong also expressed his concerns, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Shi family will not simply hand over Shi Jiarui. They might even secretly arrange for him to escape."

"Still want to run? If you have the guts, all of the Shi family members can just run away."

The eldest prince gave a direct order, asking the imperial guards outside the city to enter the city and surround the Shi family.

The army moved swiftly, and by the time the Shi family realized what was happening, the eldest prince's horse had already stepped onto the doorstep of the Shi family.

The butler of the Shi family felt that this group of people were not simple characters, so he said with a smile: "May I ask where you are from? What are you doing?"

The eldest prince was too lazy to waste time talking and said directly: "I am Yuwen Mu, the commander of the Imperial City Department. I have been ordered to arrest Shi Jiarui. Hand him over immediately."

The real commander of the Imperial City, Lord Yuwen, looked at the bandit who was trying to impersonate his eldest prince, pulled the reins silently, and walked a few steps away from the eldest prince.

"Master Yuwen is mistaken. I wonder what our Fourth Young Master has done wrong?"

"Shijia, can you make the decision?"

This scared the housekeeper so much that he quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "You are joking, sir. How can I make the decision?"

"Then what are you talking about! Go in and tell your boss to hand over the man in one stick of incense, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The housekeeper also realized that the newcomer was not someone to be trifled with, so he hurried in to report.

"Master Yuwen, how was I just now? Was I particularly impressive?"

The eldest prince was very satisfied with his performance.

Yuwen Mu forced a smile and said, "Of course."

Afterwards, the eldest prince felt like he was left out, and he was so angry that he wanted to lead his men inside.

He actually did that...

Only Yuwen Mu was still worried that he would lose his position as commander after returning.

Historians have seen ruthless, vicious, and cunning people, but they have never seen such a hot one...

Finally, the head of the Shi family, Shi Jiarui's uncle, had no choice but to stand up.

"Master Yuwen has come a long way, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. It is raining so hard, and I hope you will not get hurt. You should come in and sit down for a while."

"Why are you sitting here? Didn't you hear what I said? I told you to hand over Shi Jiarui, but you didn't understand what I said?"

Ever since Shi Liren became the head of the family, no one dared to talk to him like this anymore. On the one hand, he secretly cursed the third brother's family for being troublesome, and on the other hand, he cursed this crappy commander for being so rude and not being polite at all. How could he just start cursing at someone right away?

Shi Liren had no choice but to pretend to send someone to the third room to call someone, but he knew in his heart that this person would definitely not come out.

He knew what his fourth nephew had done wrong, but his whole family was of the same mind. It was just a prostitute, so if she died, she died. Could it be that they wanted the young master of the Shi family to be buried with a prostitute?

After a while, the servant came and said that the fourth young master was not at home.

Shi Liren smiled and said to the eldest prince, "Lord Yuwen, you see, no one is at home. It's the same if you tell me anything. May I ask what my good-for-nothing nephew has done wrong?"

The eldest prince sneered, "What's the matter? Murder."

"Murder?! Impossible, impossible. My nephew hasn't been out for more than half a year. He has been at home all the time. How could he go out and kill someone? Sir, do you think there is any misunderstanding here? Why don't we go inside and talk?"

The rain was so heavy that Shi Liren had to drink three mouthfuls of rainwater for every word he spoke. He was almost full and it was really too much for him.

"I'm here because I have evidence. The person is not at home, right? Come on, search for me! Tie up any man in his twenties I see, and I'll identify them one by one."

The imperial guards moved at the sound, and for a moment the historians were in a state of confusion. The sound of rain could not drown out the screams coming from all directions.

Shi Liren could no longer bear it, "Sir, this is inappropriate! Even when handling a case, we should follow the rules!"

"No hurry. I will take you to see the emperor later. You can go to the emperor and file a complaint against me."

Yuwen Mu: ...

"I came here today to take Shi Jiarui away. Whether he has killed anyone or not is up to the Dali Temple and His Majesty to decide. But if you resist arrest, your crime will be even more serious. You and your family should go to the capital to reunite. I just heard that the prison of the Ministry of Justice has been quite empty. No one lives in the cell. The Minister of Justice, Lord Zong, must be very worried."

"Xing'er - what are you doing? Master, master, what happened?"

The imperial guards caught one and tied him up and threw him in front of the eldest prince like a chicken. The women in the palace were also very scared. The eldest lady even chased him out and asked Shi Liren what had happened.

Shi Liren's son Shi Jiaxing was also tied up and thrown to the ground, "Dad, what happened to Dad?"

Shi Liren initially planned to protect his nephew, but he didn't want to sacrifice his son for it. This person is not a commander at all, he is clearly a madman!

"Please stop and wait a moment."

It was he who arranged for the fourth nephew to escape. If he could arrange it, he could also catch the person back.

It would be better to hand the person over first, and then slowly make plans later. Without evidence, even the Dali Temple cannot convict someone casually.

"Uncle, grandma... grandma fainted."

The girl was wearing a thin summer dress, which was soaked by the rain, revealing her graceful figure. She seemed to be crying as soon as she opened her mouth, which made me feel pity for her.

As soon as Shi Liren saw it, he knew what the old lady was planning. She was obviously trying to scare someone, so why would she need a young lady to come out and deliver the message?

But he also thinks this is a solution.

"Sir, my mother has fainted! Please let me go and see her. Shu Niang, you stay here and greet the lord."

What kind of person is the eldest prince? What about the wet body temptation? That's all left over from the harem! He had seen it when he was three years old.

Just as the woman was about to open her mouth to cry, the eldest prince's sword swept across her, "Don't come over here, I hate women the most in my life."

Yuwen Mu: What should I do? I really want to commit a crime of insubordination.
