Chapter 187: Under siege

Oops, I'll go! Zhao Liang secretly screamed in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was about to remind his companions to be on guard, but unexpectedly, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers instantly poured out of the front yard of the prison of the Criminal Department, surrounding several of them.

Yang Zongbao was not panicked when he saw this, he first put the old man Mu on his shoulder lightly on the ground, and then strode in front of Yao Neng, protecting the master of the criminal prison department behind him, his tiger eyes were round, and he calmly glanced at the officers and soldiers around, without the slightest panic on his face.

Li Erbai also reacted quickly, and almost at the same time, he placed Mrs. Mu safely, drew his sword and guarded behind everyone.

Zhao Liang supported Mu Ling and asked Yao Neng in front of him in a low voice: "My lord, what kind of way is this?" ”

Yao Neng frowned, did not answer Zhao Liang's question, but asked loudly: "Who is here?" Why are you blocking the way of the official? ”

"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be Yao Tixing. A strange voice came from the gate, and the soldiers there separated to the left and right, giving way to the figure of a man, who had just spoken.

Yao Neng took advantage of the light of the torches around him to look at each other intently, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and said in surprise: "It's you?" ”

The man replied, "That's right, it's Xiaguan." Lu Jinzhong, the deputy of the Privy Council, has met Lord Yao. ”

Yao Neng saw the other party's posture, and knew in his heart that this was a person who was not good at coming, but after all, he was a dignified and upright member of the imperial court, and his aura was quite stable, and he asked in a deep voice: "Lord Lu, you and your ministry appeared here, which made the official a little stunned, and I wanted to ask for a word or two." Since when has this prison been under the control of the Privy Council? Why didn't we know about the Gyeonggi Prison Yamen? ”

Lu Jinzhong smiled unhurriedly, and said in a calm tone: "Lord Yao asked a strange question, who told you that this place is under our control?" ”

"Since it's not under your control, the heavy ambush in the middle of the night is to scare the official to death?" Yao Neng said very politely: "In the place of national justice, you dare to make a mistake?" ”

Lu Jinzhong's expression was kind, but his words did not let him go at all: "Hey, Lord Yao still knows that this is a place of national justice, so he can't make a mistake abruptly?" Then how dare you rob the prison at night and release the felons privately? ”

Yao Neng heard the other party sneering at each other, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Lu Jinzhong, don't you want to spew blood!" Why can't this official have the power to raise sentences in Gyeonggi and be ordered to verify all cases and bring to trial suspects? ”

"Oh? Since it is a suspect who is arraigned for execution, what about the official document of the Criminal Department? Take it out and show it to us. Lu Jinzhong smiled wickedly, pressing step by step.

Yao Neng knew that the other party must have come prepared, but in desperation, he could only continue to hold on: "What qualifications do you have to inspect the official documents of this official?" Joke! ”

"Lord Yao, Lu Jinzhong is not qualified to inspect, so does this official have it?" As he spoke, another officer flashed out from behind the soldier and asked in a deep voice.

Yao Neng couldn't help but be surprised, because he knew the person who suddenly spoke, he was Liu Jingye, the main hall of the criminal department's lawsuit. And this unfortunate place is precisely under the jurisdiction of this Lord Liu.

Lu Jinzhong smiled strangely and said, "How is it?" Lord Yao, when you meet the main owner of the Criminal Department, you have nothing to say this time, right? ”

Yao Neng looked at Yang Zongbao beside him, turned his head to Liu Jingye and said, "Lord Liu, this official received a complaint in the evening, saying that there were other grievances in the case of Ying Tianfu's military rations, and because of his position, he had to rush to check overnight. Because the Criminal Department was closed at that time, it was too late to issue the corresponding official documents, so it could only follow all the powers and leave it to make up the formalities tomorrow. ”

Liu Jingye shook his head and sighed: "Master Yao, you are a senior and a Shangguan, and there are some things that should not be said in a humble position. However, I had to say a few more words about the scene in front of me. You have been in charge of the criminal name for many years, why don't you even understand the most basic rules? The Mu family's crime was not an ordinary case, but a major crime of exchanging military rations and disturbing the morale of the army. To put it more broadly, it is treason. If this is left in front of the two armies, the commander of the army can completely cut them first and then play the next game, and correct them on the spot. Even His Majesty has already nodded his head in this case, what kind of mess are you still following? Do you think you can prevaricate by saying that tomorrow you can make up the formalities? It's a prison robbery, you know?! ”

Yao Neng was a little speechless by Liu Jingye, and was about to find another word to refute, only to hear Yang Zongbao on the side say loudly: "Listen, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Yao, it is all Yang's idea." The military rations case is clearly someone deliberately framing the Mu family, even if I go to the court to fight a lawsuit, I am not afraid! ”

Liu Jingye was slightly stunned, and asked with a little confusion: "Who are you?" ”

Yang Zongbao replied: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Yang Zongbao of Tianbo Mansion!" Yao Neng was held hostage and coerced by me, and he couldn't help it. ”

Without waiting for Liu Jingye to speak, Lu Jinzhong smiled first: "Oh, I really caught a big fish tonight." Tut-tut, Tianbo Yang Mansion, amazing, amazing! He changed his words and shouted: "Yang Zongbao, if this official remembers correctly, you are the military cavalry captain of the left battalion of the Yongbian Army, right?" Seeing the Privy Council on the peak, you still don't salute? Is this how the Yang family teaches their children? ”

Yang Zongbao snorted coldly when he heard this: "Yang's gift is for those dignified adults, and it seems that the villains who framed innocent people are not worthy of my courtesy!" ”

"Bold!" Lu Jinzhong said angrily: "Okay, you little turtle grandson, relying on the name of your Yang family, you don't even care about the dignity and orderliness, right?" Okay, okay, let you know today how powerful you know this official. Come! Take down all these anti-thieves! ”

"Wait!"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Yang Zongbao, and because it was too high-pitched, it immediately startled everyone present, so that the officers and soldiers of the Privy Council could not immediately carry out Lu Jinzhong's attack order.

It was none other than Zhao Liang who shouted. He saw that the two sides were about to start, although he was quite confident in the kung fu of Yang Zongbao and Li Erbai, but after all, the other party was outnumbered, and more than 100 soldiers rushed up, and it was inevitable that his side would suffer heavy casualties, so he hurriedly stopped it loudly.

Yang Zongbao was a little confused by his sudden voice, and couldn't help but turn around curiously, wanting to see what kind of tricks Brother Zhao had. Zhao Liang took the plunge, bypassed Yang Zongbao and Yao Neng in full view of everyone, and came to the front of the crowd, facing Lu Jinzhong and Liu Jingye.

Lu Jinzhong was puzzled: "Who are you?" ”

Zhao Liang turned his heart sideways and said angrily: "Rat, with your identity, do you also deserve to ask who the little master is?" Saying it scares you to death, believe it or not? ”

Lu Liu and the others were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and for a while they were a little unsure of what the young man in front of them was, and he was so arrogant when he spoke.

Don't say it, Zhao Liang's trick is really useful. You must know that Kaifeng Mansion is the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty, a veritable place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and if you meet someone on the street, you will have a very good background, which is very similar to the state of "not going to Beijing and not knowing that you are an official" in the real world.

Liu Jingye is an old fritter after all, he hesitated slightly, then softened his tone and asked, "I don't know if this son's surname is great, please give me advice." ”

Zhao Liang understood that he was in danger at the moment, if he couldn't control the other party, it would be the end of the five-step blood splash, so his brain was spinning non-stop: what kind of identity should I make up?

Li Erbai is his uncle? No, the other party is an official of the imperial court, and it is impossible to save the face of the leader of the martial arts alliance on this occasion; The old trick is repeated, and the trick of the stars is still in the stars? No, don't say it's the Aquarius Star Immortal tonight, even if the Jade Emperor is there in person, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Thinking about it, Zhao Liang suddenly had an idea, remembered a person, and immediately had an idea, he cleared his throat and hummed: "My surname is Zhao." ”

Surname Zhao? Liu Jingye and Lu Jinzhong were shocked when they heard this: Could it be the royal family?

Zhao Liang used mind reading to detect the other party's reaction, knowing that he had made the right bet, and hurriedly added: "My name is Zhao Liang, bright bright." ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Lu and Liu on the other side, even Yao Neng on the side almost dropped his jaw in shock: Bright bright? Zhao Ming, Zhao Liang? Oops! What does this young man have to do with 8,000 years old?!

Zhao Liang heard a similar voice in Lu Jinzhong's heart at this time, and he became even more bold, and continued to flicker: "I am the illegitimate son of Zhao Defang, the king of Chu, and Zhao Ming's own brother, what's the matter?" ”

Eight thousand years old have been brought out, how else can it be dropped? Although Lu Jinzhong and Liu Jingye were suspicious, and there was no way to judge whether the deceased Prince Zhao Defang really had such an illegitimate child, they were still inevitably uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't dare to order a strong attack for a while, so they had to be stunned on the spot without embarrassment, not knowing what to do next.

Zhao Liang was unforgiving, and snorted coldly: "You guys listen to the master, my brother Wang also knows about today's incident." He was going to come to ask for someone in person, but I persuaded him, because I was afraid that you fools who don't know whether to live or die would come out to stop him, and he would be angry and knocked to death with the king's golden mace. If you know each other, make way for me! ”

Liu Jingye's face was embarrassed, and he asked Lu Jinzhong in a low voice: "Brother Nian, what should I do?" At the moment, decentralization is neither a block. Can Master Chen bear the identity of this honorable driver? ”

Lu Jinzhong was also a little stunned, and said with annoyance: "You ask me, who will I ask?" If it's really as he said, the 8,000-year-old king's golden sword, no one can bear it! ”

The two of them were worrying, and suddenly heard someone behind them say quietly: "Don't be embarrassed, two adults, this guy is lying!" ”

This voice was not too loud, but the people in the courtyard could hear it clearly, and Zhao Liang was also startled, and hurriedly raised his eyes to see who Cheng Yanjin was who he killed halfway.

I saw Lu Jinzhong laugh and said, "Oh, what does Mr. have a high opinion, please tell me quickly." ”

With his words, a young scholar approached and bowed to Liu Jingye. Lu Jinzhong introduced: "Dedication, this gentleman is a new staff member invited by Master Chen Yaosuo Chen, and tonight's bureau is from his handwriting." ”

Liu Jingye hurriedly returned the salute when he heard this, and then asked curiously: "Mr. said that the guy was lying, I don't know what the evidence is?" ”

The scholar smiled slightly and replied, "This matter has its own proportions. With that, he turned around and asked Zhao Liang, "Do you know who I am?" ”

Zhao Liang shook his head, he didn't know why the other party said this, and he didn't remember where he had seen this person. I only heard the scholar say faintly: "Zhao Liang, Zhao Liang, in fact, we have been friends for a long time." My surname is Shangguan, Shangguan Xueming. ”

The four words of Shangguan Xueming were like a thunderbolt, which instantly exploded in Zhao Liang's mind:! It's actually this guy?

On the night of Director Zhang's attack, wasn't the major suspect who Director Tu Sihai Tu was ordered to arrest Shangguan Xueming? It's a pity that at the last moment, he used the crossing equipment to escape with two other special forces killers, which made Director Tu fail.

I never thought that this goods would also cross here, it's really a narrow road!

Shangguan Xue Ming saw Zhao Liang's expression change greatly, and then smiled: "It seems that you also know my identity, then let's not talk darkly, are you embarrassed to lie that you are a relative of the emperor?" ”

Zhao Liang couldn't wait to pounce on the other party at this time, but at this moment, the crisis was not only not resolved, but it had deepened a lot, no matter what, it was important to try to save his life first.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang forced himself to calm down, first pretending to be happy, and then sighed: "Why haven't you grown at all?" At the beginning, you didn't know my true identity because the little prince hadn't recognized me yet, so even I didn't know that I was a descendant of King Chu. Now that we are bright and bright, the two brothers have finally gathered, how can it be that your old eyes can see clearly? But you, who thought you were smart, ended up killing the two adults, so that they had nowhere to cry out. ”
