Chapter 63 You Can't Bring Back a Complete Her
A few days later, the Dali Temple came to arrest the person.
The people from the Dali Temple showed their nameplate at the gate of the palace, and the palace guards welcomed them into the hall. "My lords, please have some tea and wait for a while. I will go and invite His Highness to come over."
The leader of the Dali Temple's staff was called Zuo Zong, who was promoted to Shaoqing of the Dali Temple the year before last.
He waved his hand and said, "No need for tea, we'll just take the people and leave. Please lead the way."
The Dali Temple wanted to come to the palace to arrest someone, but they had to give them some open face, so they sent Zuo Zong, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
The guard said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The person you want to arrest is now your Highness's guard. No one can arrest anyone in the palace without your Highness's approval."
The people from the Dali Temple looked at each other and knew that this process was inevitable.
In terms of title, he is the Crown Prince of Beilin and the future King of Beilin. In terms of official position, Xie Tingzhou is now the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. A higher-ranking official can crush people to death. No matter from which angle, he is not someone who is easy to offend.
Besides, no one is sure about this gentleman's temper, they just heard rumors.
In short, it's not an easy task.
Zuo Zong thought for a while and said, "How can we trouble the prince to come and see us? Naturally, I will go to pay my respects to the prince. You lead the way."
The guard took the man to Qingpu Residence and let him in only after asking for instructions.
As Zuo Zong stepped into the courtyard, a dark shadow jumped down from the tree with an agile posture.
After seeing clearly what it was, Zuo Zong immediately took two steps back, pressing the handle of the knife with his thumb about an inch away, ready to draw the sword at any time.
Xie Tingzhou stood leisurely under the eaves and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a pet."
Whose pet is a leopard? Zuo Zong felt a cold sweat on his back.
Cang took a step and slowly walked around the crowd, looking at everyone with his light golden eyes, full of danger.
"Your Excellency," Zuo Zong said coldly, "I, Zuo Zong, am here to ask for—"
"Gurgle Gurgle--" Cang bent his back and suddenly cried out.
That was the unique roar of a leopard.
Zuo Zong was interrupted and immediately jumped back and drew his sword.
Several prison warden who came to arrest the person did as they were told, and the guards from the palace in the courtyard also drew their swords in unison.
The situation seemed to become out of control in an instant.
Xie Tingzhou handed the plate he was feeding Bai Yu to someone else, narrowed his eyes and said, "Zuo Zong, are you going to use a knife in my palace?"
Zuo Zong was wronged, but there was a black panther watching him.
He didn't even dare to put away the knife.
"Your Highness has misunderstood. Your Highness's pet is very powerful." Zuo Zong's back was wet with cold sweat. He was almost unable to raise his head because of the aura of the man and the leopard.
Xie Tingzhou smiled, "Cang."
Black Panther stared at the few people for a few moments before turning around and returning to Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou asked: "You haven't told me why you are here."
Zuo Zong was originally here on royal orders to do his job, but his morale was suppressed, and now he can't raise his status even if he wants to.
"The three courts are hearing the Yanliang Pass case. We need to send the Crown Prince's guards to the Dali Temple for questioning."
"Oh, official business," Xie Tingzhou nodded, "What about the documents?"
Zuo Zong was confused by his question, and after a while he said, "Shi Yu is not a criminal, so there is no arrest warrant."
Xie Tingzhou said: "Lord Zuo brought so many people with him. I thought he was here to arrest some important criminal of the imperial court."
Zuo Zong was defeated by him and looked unhappy. "We are just doing our duty. I hope you won't make things difficult for us."
"Stop putting accusations on me!" Xie Tingzhou said coldly, "If you are doing this job, you should issue the documents. You don't follow the rules, but you want to ask for convenience from me. Where do you get the courage?!"
Zuo Zong gritted his teeth. After all, he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, a third-rank official. He had never been pointed at and scolded like this, especially in front of his subordinate, the captain of the police.
"If I go back to get the documents, will Your Highness release me?"
"That's natural."
Zuo Zong clasped his fists, flicked his sleeves and left.
After an hour or so, he came again, this time with some paperwork.
After reading the document, Xie Tingzhou smiled and suddenly became more talkative. "Master Zuo, wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier?"
He tilted his head and said, "Go call Shi Yu over."
Zuo Zong bowed and said, "Don't bother, just take us there."
Xie Tingzhou ignored him, and the guard walked straight away without even slowing down.
Zuo Zong was embarrassed again.
After a while, Shen Yu came with the guards.
Xie Tingzhou stood under the eaves and looked at her. He said, "The officials from the Dali Temple have come to ask you for questioning. Go with them."
Shen Yu nodded, "Yes."
Xie Tingzhou added: "No problem, I will come to pick you up before dark tomorrow."
Chen Yu looked at him, and Xie Tingzhou nodded to her.
Zuo Zong heard this and said immediately:
It is already noon, and the testimony has not been completed..."
"What I said..." Xie Tingzhou took a step forward, "Isn't it clear enough?"
Zuo Zong's face turned pale.
How could he not understand what Xie Tingzhou meant? That was that he could question people but could not torture them. He came to pick someone up in person, and he wanted the person to be intact.
Everyone from the Dali Temple left with Shi Yu in a huff.
The courtyard gate was closed, and Xie Tingzhou turned around and went into the house.
Xifeng followed him and said, "Shiyu, I can just send someone to pick you up. You don't have to run back and forth."
Xie Tingzhou said calmly: "You can't bring back a completely intact Shi Yu."
What kind of place is the Dali Temple? Once it is involved in a case, you will be skinned alive if you don't die, otherwise he would not deliberately say that he would go to answer it in person.
Xi Feng understood, nodded and said: "Today's incident has caused a feud with Zuo Zong."
"I want him to be my dog." Xie Tingzhou said.
Xi Feng was puzzled, "But he is Liu Cheng's man. If Your Highness wanted to win him over, why did you make things difficult for him today?"
Xie Tingzhou sat on the chair. "Zuo Zong is a dog that can never be tamed. Liu Cheng has not been able to tamed him in all these years. This kind of person only cares about benefits and bites everyone he sees. It is better to let him know who not to mess with. He is a smart man. Today, I am just giving him a warning."
Xifeng still didn't understand Xie Tingzhou's explanation.
"Forgive my stupidity, but if he still hasn't come to his senses, will he take revenge on Shi Yu?"
Xie Tingzhou picked up the teacup and said, "Otherwise why would I say I would go pick her up in person?"
…
Shen Yu went to the Dali Temple. Zuo Zong did not put her in shackles, but her face looked very ugly all the way.
The prison warden followed behind him, feeling indignant on Zuo Zong's behalf, "Now that they are officials in the same dynasty, he is on the same level as you, so why would he be so rude to you?"
Zuo Zong's face became even uglier and he ignored the prison warden.
The warden of the prison flattered again, "He just relied on his family background to get an official position. How can he compare with you who climbed up step by step."
Zuo Zong suddenly stopped, turned around and kicked the prison warden, "I crawled up here. He, the Prince of Beilin, was born to sit on a high platform. You are fanning the flames in front of me. Are you hoping that I will break up with him, or do you want me to chop him down?!"
The warden covered his chest and knelt on the ground, "Your Excellency has wronged me. I am just speaking up for you."
Zuo Zongyi flicked his sleeves and left.
