The tall man was already pale at the moment, his legs were weak, and he had already knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said in a trembling voice: "Small..... The little one doesn't know that Master Hou is here, the sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sins deserve ten thousand deaths! His seven-foot-tall man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, was already trembling at this time.

Qi Ning said coldly: "You know me? ”

"Master Hou..... When the Hou Ye copied the Huainan Palace, the small one.... The younger one also went to ...... with Lord Squire at that time! The big man fell to the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

The officials behind him saw that something was wrong, and they all shrank back.

Qi Ning immediately thought that on the day he raided his house, Da Xichong, the servant of the Criminal Department, led people to arrest the prince of Huainan, but he was stopped by himself, and he beat Da Xichong in front of everyone, and he didn't pay attention to the people around Da Xichong at that time, and he didn't have any impression of this person.

However, since this person was present, he naturally saw that he had beaten Nada Xichong into a pig's head, and he was afraid when he saw him, which was also a matter of course.

Qi Ning saw Xian'er standing timidly by the door, beckoned, Xian'er hurriedly walked over, Qi Ning took Xian'er's hand, walked forward slowly, squatted down in front of the big man, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The little one is Liao Zhen, the servant of the Supervising Division!"

The Criminal Department is one of the six departments, in charge of the world's criminal name, headed by the Criminal Department Shangshu, which consists of one left and right attendant, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department is divided into the Supervision and Arrest Division, the Autumn Trial Department, the Reduction and Other Divisions, the Prison Hall, the Stolen Punishment Library, the Redemption Office and the Law Pavilion.

There is still a master above the servant, and he is separated by two levels from the servant, Qi Ning even said that the left servant of the criminal department would be beaten, and the little superintendent and servant were naturally not a problem.

"It turned out to be Liao Sifu." Qi Ning smiled lightly, considering that Tang Nuo was still in the room, he was worried that Tang Nuo would not be able to stand the aphrodisiac poison and would do some embarrassing things, and it would be bad to be seen, so he said softly: "Liao Sifu, let's all go out to talk, do you say okay?" ”

"Small..... The little ones get out right away. Liao Zhen didn't say a word, got up, turned around and ran out of the door, and the other officials also went out in a hurry.

Qi Ning glanced back at Tang Nuo, and saw that Tang Nuo was lying there quietly at this time, so he took Zhuo Xian'er's hand and went out of the door, and closed the door with his hand, and more than ten officials of the Criminal Department outside the door had already knelt on the ground.

"Servant Liao, before I report this case to you, there is something I want to make clear to you." Qi Ning walked up to Liao Zhen and said lightly: "The girl you insulted just now is Benhou's woman, I don't know if you can hear clearly?" ”

Zhuo Xian'er's delicate body trembled, turned her head over, and looked at Qi Ning, only to see that although Qi Ning's voice was calm, the look on his face was extremely cold, and his eyes were even more fierce.

"It's the villain who has eyes and no beads, and the villain's stinky mouth can't spit out ivory ......!" Liao Zhen raised his head, didn't say a word, raised his hand to his mouth and pulled it down, and it crackled for a while, and all the officials fell to the ground, not daring to speak.

"Servant Liao, I have always been kind to others." Qi Ning said slowly: "If others don't provoke me, I never make things difficult for others." ”

Liao Zhen just slapped himself in the mouth, not daring to stop, the last time Qi Ning beat the criminal department waiter Da Xi Chong is still recuperating from his injuries, even the criminal department waiter has been beaten like that, if the little Hou Ye makes a move on himself, I am afraid that he can only have one breath left, the only way to let the little Hou Ye calm his anger is to beat himself until the little Hou Ye is satisfied.

Qi Ning glanced at Zhuo Xian'er, and saw that Xian'er's charming eyes were also looking at her with tenderness, looking at each other, Qi Ning smiled slightly, and then continued: "I promised her that I would not let her be bullied, and I would not let her bear the slightest grievance, but today you dared to insult her in front of so many people, you said that if I can't get justice for her, is it still a man?" ”

Liao Zhen felt bitter in his heart, secretly thinking that the real fucking disaster came from his mouth, who knew that the girl on the Qinhuai River in front of him was actually a person in Jinyihou, and she deserved to be unlucky, and felt more and more that she really deserved to be beaten with this mouth.

"Master Hou, I don't know how you want to get justice?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Liao Zhen, Qi Ning never imagined that there was someone talking to him like this at this time, looked up, and saw a man over thirty years old kneeling behind Liao Zhen, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance, at this time, the person had a serious expression, and a pair of eyes were looking at him.

"Who are you?" Qi Ning asked.

The man said: "The villain's criminal department supervised the arrest of Si Wei Yujiang, and he was on an errand under Liao Si's servants. ”

"Oh?" Qi Ning looked at me with interest: "What did you just ask me?" ”

Wei Yujiang said: "The villain wants to ask, how does the Hou Ye want to seek justice?" Today, Liao Sifu is indeed at fault, and he shouldn't hurt people, but in the final analysis, it's still to handle the case. After glancing at Zhuo Xian'er, he continued: "We didn't hurt this girl in the slightest, and the servant also asked the Hou Ye for guilt. ”

"You mean I shouldn't have pursued this?" Qi Ning said coldly.

Wei Yujiang shook his head and said, "If the Hou Ye wants to pursue this matter, the little one doesn't dare to take care of it." But just now there was a murder case on the Qinhuai River, and everyone was watching, so the Criminal Department naturally wanted to find the relevant people involved in the case and investigate the truth. Many people have seen the murderers flee to this ship, and we naturally want to go on board and search for them. ”

Qi Ning let out an "oh" and asked, "In this way, you are not at fault?" ”

"If there is a mistake, it is just that the servant is too anxious and wants to catch the murderer immediately, so his words are inappropriate, and even ..... even insulted the girl. Wei Yujiang listened to Liao Zhen's voice slapping his mouth, and his face was still serious: "We people have more contact with prisoners on weekdays, and we are used to being rude, and today's servant is indeed disrespectful and inappropriate, but at the moment, official affairs are important, Hou Ye should act impartially, let me wait to investigate the case clearly, and then how Hou Ye wants to send out the servant, it is all up to Hou Ye to deal with it." ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "Wei Yujiang, there is some truth in what you said, but there is one sentence that doesn't make sense." ”

Wei Yujiang was stunned, but he still arched his hand and said, "Please advise Master Hou!" ”

"You said that you have had too much contact with the prisoners, and it has become a habit to be rude, so you should be forgiven?" Qi Ning smiled faintly: "Habit is not a reason to excuse. If a person is used to stealing, and he refuses to change his teachings, will he steal again in the future, and he can use a sentence of habit as a reason to excuse himself? ”

Wei Yujiang said: "Master Hou taught me a lesson. However, the villain is not saying that he can be forgiven by habit, but just because he said to the Hou Ye that the servant was speechless today. ”

Qi Ning smiled and said, "Wei Yujiang, you dare to talk to Ben Hou like this, you are indeed bold enough." ”

"It's not that the villain deliberately offended Lord Hou." Wei Yujiang immediately said: "The villain eats the imperial grain and is in front of the imperial firewood, so he naturally has to fulfill his duties." Hou Ye is the hereditary marquis of my Great Chu, and naturally he also has a clear distinction between public and private, and the villain is dedicated to the public, so he is not afraid of Hou Ye's blame. ”

"Then Ben Hou will give you an errand now, you come to tell Ben Hou, how to send Liao Zhen?" Qi Ning stared at Wei Yujiang Road.

Wei Yujiang hesitated for a moment before he said, "The villain doesn't dare!" ”

"Since I told you to say it, you can say it." Qi Ning said lightly: "Since you are speaking fair for Liao Zhen, Ben Hou will see if you are really a fair person." ”

Wei Yujiang Zhengse said: "Since the Hou Ye spoke, the villain is bold. After a pause, he said: "If an ordinary person is disrespectful and offends the other party, it is natural to apologize to the other party and ask for the other party's forgiveness." The villain knows that Hou Ye cares about this girl very much, but Hou Ye ......! He hesitated, but did not continue.

Qi Ning said: "Just what? Don't you dare to say it? ”

Wei Yujiang straightened his neck and said loudly: "The servant has already known his mistake, and he has slapped his mouth, if he apologizes to this girl again, and this girl can not blame the past, then the villain thinks that this matter can end here." If Hou Ye is just ..... It's just that he relied on his identity, and he had to severely punish the servant for this matter, and even delayed the handling of the case because of this, and the villain ..... The villain felt very inappropriate. ”

When Qi Ning heard this, he immediately laughed, and all the officials on the side were frightened, although they knew Wei Yujiang's temperament quite well, but thinking that they were facing Jinyi at this time, they were praying for Wei Yujiang in their hearts.

"Wei Yujiang, you are very bold and kind." Qi Ning said with a smile: "You said that Ben Hou was bullying, this is the first time that Ben Hou has heard someone say this to his face." Staring at Wei Yujiang's eyes, he sneered: "Ben Hou will give you another chance, do you still want to say this?" ”

Wei Yujiang bowed his head slightly and said: "Back to the Hou Ye's words, the words he said are like splashing out to get water, and he can't take it back if he wants to." If Hou Ye feels that the villain is offended, please punish him! "Get on your knees.

Qi Ning bowed slightly, glanced at Liao Zhen, only to see that Liao Zhen's mouth was already bleeding outward, knowing that in front of him, this guy didn't dare to pretend, every mouth was pumped and heavy, turned to look at Zhuo Xian'er, and asked, "Xian'er, do you think he asked?" ”

"Master Hou, let him ..... Just let him stop. Xian'er said softly: "Master Hou is in charge of Xian'er, and Xian'er is already satisfied." ”

Only then did Qi Ning say, "Stop." ”

Liao Zhenru was amnestied, stopped his hand, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you..... Thank you, Lord Hou.....! Turning to Zhuo Xian'er, her mouth was full of blood, and she said vaguely: "Girl, is it..... It's my mouth that stinks and speaks disrespectfully, you ..... You have a great deal of it, and you have spared me this time, and from now on...... I don't dare to ...... anymore! ”

Xian'er seemed to be a little flustered, not knowing what to do, Qi Ning said lightly: "Wei Yujiang, you just said that Liao Zhen admitted his mistake and can forgive him, there is nothing wrong with this, but there is one thing you still haven't said." If it weren't for Ben Hou today, would Liao Zhen still apologize? There is nothing wrong with your handling of the case, but after you got on the boat, you made a lot of trouble, like bandits killing you, is this the case with the criminal department? ”

Wei Yujiang raised his head slightly, his lips moved slightly, but he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Did you salvage the corpses in the river?" Qi Ning asked.

Wei Yujiang immediately said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the body has been salvaged, the person is dead, I have seen the corpse, and it is temporarily judged that it should be poisoned to death." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said: "This person is the remnant of the King of Huainan, hiding on the Qinhuai River, I chased him here tonight, but he was killed, it should be someone who wants to kill people." The corpse was brought back to the Ministry of Punishment ......! After a pause, he said, "Wei Yujiang, come here!" ”

Wei Yujiang was stunned, but he still got up immediately and walked in front of Qi Ning, Qi Ning looked into the distance and said, "Look over there." ”

Wei Yujiang turned around, followed Qi Ning's gaze, and saw that Qi Ning was staring at a painting boat not far away, and heard Qi Ning command: "Take someone to the painting boat immediately, control all the people on the boat, especially the woman named Caihe, escort back to the Criminal Department, you personally guard, no one is allowed to contact, go back to you and ask for someone, if she dies inexplicably, you can bury her." ”

Wei Yujiang couldn't understand Qi Ning's thoughts for a while, but when he heard Qi Ning's serious tone, he didn't say much, and arched his hand: "The villain understands!" ”
