Although Nie Changan knew that he was being unreasonable, he still planned to argue his case. In the capital, everyone knew that Changshou Hall was backed by Lord Bai from the Imperial Hospital. Even the governor of Shuntian Prefecture had to give him some face.
So, he looked at Zhang Yuan complacently and said in a disdainful tone:
"Master Zhang, I heard that you've only been in the position of Chief Constable for a little over half a month. You should go back and find out who in the capital can and cannot be offended!"
Nie Changan's tone was threatening. Luo Lan suddenly frowned. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Nie Changan questioningly.
"Your words are full of hidden meaning! Can I understand that you are threatening Master Zhang?"
"What are you saying, Princess Yu? How dare Nie threaten Lord Zhang?"
"Then who are you referring to when you say who can be offended? My Prince Yu's Mansion? And who are you referring to when you say who can't be offended? Your Changshou Hall? I heard that your Changshou Hall has a great background, but I believe that even so, with the whole city watching, Lord Zhang will still handle the case impartially."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the onlookers, then looked at Zhang Yuan, "Really? Master Zhang?"
Zhang Yuan frowned and nodded. "Princess Yu is absolutely right. Come on! Take these two people back to the yamen. I also want to ask Shopkeeper Nie's Princess Yu to come back with us to investigate this matter."
"no…"
Luo Lan and Nie Changan said these two words in unison this time.
Zhang Yuan looked at them with raised eyebrows, "Why not? Since someone has reported it to the police, I have to take care of this matter."
Nie Changan spoke first:
"Master Zhang, it's so late now. I don't sleep well to begin with, so I can't go back to the yamen with you. Let's ask Master Lu from the government office to make the final decision on this matter tomorrow!"
It was obvious that he was using Lord Lu to suppress Zhang Yuan.
Luo Lan also said with a serious expression:
"I also think it's inappropriate. These two people from my Yuwang Mansion were lynched by the people from Changshou Hall and are already seriously injured. If they are taken to the government office and can't get medical treatment, what will happen to them? So today, no matter what, I have to take them back."
"You can't take them away..."
Nie Changan raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Let's wait for Lord Lu to come and make the final decision on this matter tomorrow!"
Luo Lan also gritted his teeth and said, "I must take these two people away..."
A Yu and others behind her were also ready to fight, as if they would not give up until they took the person away.
The servants in Nie Chang'an's mansion were all ferocious and looked like they were ready to fight at any time.
The two sides stared at each other with eager eyes!
Although the people watching the excitement didn't know who was right or wrong, they felt pity for the two people huddled in the woodshed and murmured to each other,
"Those two people are in such a state, they will be dead tomorrow!"
"That's right. Once they die, there will be no evidence against them, and their crime as thieves will be confirmed."
"Alas! Lord Lu is a distinguished guest at Changshou Hall. Even if they survive tomorrow, the result will be nothing more than this..."
"Yeah! What's the use of being reasonable?"
Listening to the people's discussions, Zhang Yuan suddenly frowned and said without further explanation:
"In that case, this matter will wait until tomorrow for Lord Lu to judge. Considering that these two people are seriously injured, Princess Yu will take them back for treatment first..."
"no…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Changan snorted coldly, "These two people came to my Nie Mansion for other purposes. What if she takes them back and lets them go secretly?"
Luo Lan looked at him, his face solemn as he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Nie. I won't let this go until this matter is clarified. The people of Prince Yu's Mansion are not to be trampled upon by others at will. I, Luo Lan, will definitely pay them back double for the suffering they endured today."
Hearing this, Nie Changan was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, "That's the best. If anyone dares to come to my Nie Mansion and do evil, I, Nie, will definitely not let them go."
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Yuan coldly and said, "Master Zhang, if you dare to let them go back, don't regret it. Take care of yourself!"
If it weren't for these people, he would definitely point at his nose and tell him: their Lord Lu would always bow and scrape when he saw him, and he, a captain of the police, was so tactless.
Zhang Yuan frowned nonchalantly and said:
"Thank you, Manager Nie, for reminding me. I, Zhang Yuan, have always been upright and have nothing to regret."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Lan, "Princess Yu, take your people back and come to the government office early tomorrow..."
Luo Lan clasped his fists and said to him, "Thank you, Master Zhang..."
Seeing this, Ayu, Ahou and others rushed into the house and helped Xiaozhi and Agang up.
Luo Lan looked at the two people covered in wounds and glared at Nie Changan, gnashing his teeth. "You are worse than a beast. You even dared to attack such a young child..."
Hearing her scolding him, Nie Changan pointed his finger at her and roared, "How dare you scold me?"
Luo Lan half-closed his eyes and looked at him, replying word by word:
"How dare I scold you? I only scold people..."
Nie Changan couldn't help but snort complacently, "That's more like it..."
The people around him hurried over to remind him, "Master, she said she didn't dare to scold you, she only scolded others, meaning that you are not a human being..."
After hearing this, Nie Changan finally realized that he was being scolded without even realizing it.
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but Luo Lan had already left with his men in a swagger. Zhang Yuan also left with his men. The people who were watching the fun chewed on Luo Lan's last words and left with laughter.
After returning to Prince Yu's Mansion, Luo Lan ordered people to clean the wounds of Agang and Xiaozhi, and then applied her special red cream on them.
The two people were unconscious due to skin injuries. Fortunately, they arrived in time, otherwise they would have had a hard time getting through the night.
Now that the people were brought back, Luo Lan finally felt relieved. She asked Ayu and Ahou to stay and look after them, and then asked everyone to go back and rest.
There is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow. Considering the current situation of Prince Yu’s Mansion, it will take some thought to seek justice for Xiaozhi and Agang.
It was already midnight, Leng Yu must have fallen asleep. She tiptoed in, pushed the door open, and then gently closed the door.
Leng Yu's gentle voice sounded at this moment, "Lan'er, you're back?"
Luo Lan frowned and walked quickly to the inner room, only to see Leng Yu still sitting in the same position as when she left. When he saw her come in, a smile appeared on his face.
"Lan'er, you're finally back."
"Why don't you sleep so late?" Luo Lan was a little annoyed and his voice was a little harsh.
"I...I want to wait for you to come back and sleep together..."
His aggrieved look really made Luo Lan feel that he was like a puppy waiting for its mother to come back for milk. She was already tired enough and wanted to go to bed directly after returning, but he was still awake. She felt a nameless anger rising in her.
She frowned in displeasure and blamed me, "Why are you waiting for me? Didn't you sleep by yourself before? Why can't you sleep now?"
