"Don't worry, sir."
Feng Siyuan said quickly, "Let them stay in there for a few more days so that we can better convict Zhao Lin. My Lord, you can go to Qingzhou Prefecture to find Gao Junliang first. He hates Zhao Lin very much and will definitely cooperate with us."
Liu Zhengyan thought for a moment and nodded. "That's right. Since Zhao Lin doesn't dare to kill them, let them suffer a little first, and then we can vent our anger on them later. Let's go find Gao Junliang first."
"Don't be anxious, sir. It's getting dark now. It's not too late to go tomorrow. I have already asked people to prepare a banquet to welcome you." Feng Siyuan said.
Liu Zhengyan smiled and said, "People from our own side are always considerate."
After all, he was an imperial envoy, but Zhao Lin was so neglectful. Not only did he not treat him well, he didn't even give him a sip of tea. It was simply too much.
When I get back, I'll show you how I'll deal with you.
That night, Liu Zhengyan stayed directly at Feng's house, ate and drank his fill, and hugged the beautiful woman sent by Feng Siyuan, feeling very satisfied.
We are all family anyway, so there is no need to worry about any problems.
the next day.
Liu Zhengyan and Feng Siyuan went to Qingzhou Prefecture together to meet Gao Junliang.
Gao Junliang immediately complained, "Your Excellency, please understand. Zhao Lin has gone too far. He not only disregards the law but also tramples upon the imperial authority. He deserves death. I was personally appointed as an inspector by Your Majesty, and yet he has simply sent me back. This is a disrespect for Your Majesty."
Liu Zhengyan immediately gave Zhao Lin a harsh remark and said, "Do you dare to go back with me and plead your case before His Majesty?"
Gao Junliang said righteously, "Of course I dare. Are we going now?"
Liu Zhengyan said, "No rush, there's still a lot to investigate. Get ready and go back with me."
"Okay! I will wait for your news at any time." Gao Junliang nodded heavily.
Liu Zhengyan was very satisfied.
After returning to Mingzhou, Liu Zhengyan came to Zhao Lin after enjoying a few days.
Liu Zhengyan asked, "Master Zhao, why have you detained all the officials from the Governor's Office? Release them immediately. I have something to ask you."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "They colluded with bandits and massacred innocent people, so I locked them all up."
Liu Zhengyan asked, "Is there any evidence?"
"If there were, they'd be dead."
Zhao Lin said impatiently, "I know what you want to do. If you want to ask, go to the prison and ask. Don't bother me."
Liu Zhengyan was furious. "Zhao Lin, you're too arrogant! You're just a governor, and I'm an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. How dare you speak to me like that? Do you really think I can't handle you?"
Zhao Lin sneered, "You can investigate, but it's His Majesty who decides how to deal with me. Okay, I'm very busy and don't have time to tease you. Go away."
Zhao Lin waved his hand, and immediately two yamen runners came forward and signaled Liu Zhengyan to leave.
"Alright! Alright! Zhao Lin, just wait. I have already reported everything you've done to His Majesty, letting him know what kind of person you are. Just wait to die!"
"Why waste time talking to him? Just kill him." Sudi snorted coldly.
Liu Zhengyan was furious: "Outrageous! Too outrageous! I am an imperial envoy, and you are trying to murder me? Come on, kill me if you dare."
Liu Zhengyan stretched his neck and moved closer to Sudi.
Sodi frowned.
No wonder Liu Zhengyan was promoted to be the imperial envoy. He is someone not easy to mess with.
Bang!
Liu Zhengyan suddenly fell down.
Zhao Lin retracted his foot and said calmly: "Lord Liu wants to die, there are things to do, but please leave here, so as not to pollute this official's place."
"Okay! Okay! Just wait, this isn't over yet."
Liu Zhengyan left in anger and went to the prison.
Seeing Liu Zhengyan coming, these former officials from the governor's office cried with surprise, and tried their best to tell Liu Zhengyan about their grievances and Zhao Lin's tyranny.
This is a prison cell, there are no outsiders, and the jailers are waiting outside. They naturally have enough space and time to discuss how to throw dirty water on Zhao Lin.
After three days of discussion, Liu Zhengyan finally came out of the cell satisfied and found Zhao Lin.
"Master Zhao, you've gone too far."
Liu Zhengyan said sternly, "Zhu San was tempted by beauty, forcibly abducted a woman, and killed her husband. This is irrefutable evidence, so what does it have to do with you gentlemen? You are only avenging your personal vendetta. I advise you to release them all immediately, otherwise I will exercise my authority as an imperial envoy to release them, which would be disastrous for you."
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "This is your right, feel free to use it.
Liu Zhengyan stopped talking and shouted, "Come here, let the gentlemen out."
This was an imperial envoy, an angel, so the yamen runners naturally did not dare to neglect him. After seeing Zhao Lin nod, they immediately ran over and released all the officials.
These people had been locked up in there for a few days and had suffered a lot, but now they all came out in high spirits, as if they had just won a battle.
"Master Zhao, we meet again."
Former Councillor Yan Jia said proudly to Zhao Lin, "You went to great lengths to frame us, trying to get us to give up our positions to your people. But you never imagined that justice would prevail and His Majesty would send an imperial envoy. Your good days are over."
All the officials looked at Zhao Lin with pride.
Zhao Lin glanced at them calmly and said, "Come here, Yan Jia and others have escaped from prison, arrest them all, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot." Crash!
A group of soldiers with swords and guns appeared and surrounded these people.
They were all stunned.
Liu Zhengyan's fingers trembled with anger as he pointed at Zhao Lin: "You, you, how dare you be so arrogant? Do you still have the law in your eyes? Do you still have the law? You..."
