"My lord, they have an edict issued by the imperial court in their hands, and their subordinates can't stop it."

Seeing Wu Zhi's gloomy face, Song Gong and Zhang Quan thought that Wu Zhi was blaming them for not being able to stop people, so they hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

Wu Zhi raised his hand to them, signaling that he didn't blame them, and then calmly put down the sword in his hand, and said to the two adults: "I don't know what the two of you are doing to break into my Kaifeng Mansion prison?" ”

"Humph! Naturally, we have important business here! "Dali Temple Qing Cheng Yuan Yin and Yang weird, the last time he came to Wu Zhi here to intercede for Daoist Xie touched a nose of ash, this will deliberately tease Wu Zhi said: "It's you, Master Wu, who took the felons out of the cell and carried the sword, what kind of thing is it?" Do you have to eliminate harm for the people? ”

"The imperial court has its own laws, and Zhu Wen has not yet been convicted, how can he allow Lord Wu to punish indiscriminately!" Ma Huaili, the waiter of the criminal department on the side, also said coldly, when he came over, his boss deliberately instructed him not to give Wu Zhi a good look.

"Yes, yes, yes! He was just going to kill me! Gave me poison too! ”

Zhu Wen on the side hurriedly struggled to get up when he saw the opportunity, pointing at Wu Zhi with resentment on his face.

"Huh."

Wu Zhi didn't answer Cheng Yuan and Ma Huaili's questions, nor did he pay attention to Zhu Wen, but asked leisurely: "Is the official business of the two adults here to tease me?" If that's the case, get out of here! I'm going to clean up this prisoner! If you don't abuse the punishment, your majesty will deal with it, and it's not your turn to talk more! ”

Wu Zhi is angry now, and he hasn't been angry yet, so naturally he doesn't have anything good to say.

"Bastard! Wu Zhi, you are a mere judge, how dare you be so rude to this official! ”

Cheng Yuan's anger is not light, he is dignified and Dali Siqing, who dares to ask him to leave?

"You are a mere Dali Siqing, how can this official not scold you?" Wu Zhi choked back.

This question made Cheng Yuan's face flush, and he finally remembered that the Wu Zhi in front of him was no longer the Wu Zhi he was before, he was not only a judge of the fourth rank of Kaifeng Mansion, but also a scholar of the Longtu Pavilion of the third grade, a grade higher than him, and he was indeed qualified to scold him.........

"Master Cheng, don't argue with him, it's still important to get down to business.

”

Ma Huaili on the side comforted Cheng Yuan, then took out a document from his cuff, and said to Wu Zhi with a smile: "Master Wu, we came here to take Zhu Wen away, the imperial court has just issued a decree, in view of the heinous crimes of Zhu Wen and his gang, it should be concluded after the trial of the three halls, so I specially ordered me and Lord Cheng to come and transfer Zhu Wen and others to the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

After speaking, Ma Huaili looked coldly at the dungeon of Kaifeng Mansion, and said in a mocking tone: "Your dungeon of Kaifeng Mansion is too simple, in case the prisoner escapes, I'm afraid that Master Wu can't bear this responsibility, right?" ”

Hearing that there would be three sessions of interrogation, and that Zhu Wen and others would be transferred to the prison of the Criminal Department, Wu Zhi, Qin Hui and Song Gong's faces became solemn.

The so-called three-hall trial is dominated by the criminal department, accompanied by Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion to close the case together, in which Wu Zhi only occupies a right to speak, and how to close the case at that time is up to him.

"Paperwork!"

Wu Zhi snatched the document and read it in detail, and after reading it, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

The document was issued from the Zhongshu Province, which was stamped with the seal of Prime Minister Cai Jing, the Zhongshu Province was the highest authority of the Great Song Dynasty, and the large and small national decrees were issued from here, and as soon as the decree was issued, the hundred officials could go to the court to oppose it, but they must abide by it before they objected, and if they did not comply with it, they would resist the decree, and they would be demoted to the officials, and they would be exiled at the worst.

Cai Jing really intervened, but Wu Zhi didn't expect Cai Jing to move so fast and strongly, and he immediately dispatched the power of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to divide Wu Zhi's power, so that Wu Zhi was almost helpless, worthy of being an old fox in officialdom, if he didn't make a move, he would be able to settle the matter in a moment!

"What's the matter, Master Wu, is this document fake?" Cheng Yuan saw Wu Zhi's gloomy face, and suddenly felt a bad breath.

The document will naturally not be fake, Wu Zhi is also annoyed now, this is the second time he has been caught off guard, the first time he was suddenly exploited by Zhu Mian After Wu Zhi had already deeply summed up the lesson, he didn't expect to be put on a cold spot by Cai Jing this time!

In the final analysis, it was still the lack of experience in Wuzhi officialdom, if he had learned that Zhu Chong had gone to find Cai Jing and immediately took measures to guard against Cai Jing, things would not have come to such a point.

Zhu Wen on the side saw Wu Zhi's embarrassed face, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly dragged the shackles to Cheng Yuan and Ma Huaili to be courteous.

"Take me away! This Wu Zhi wants to harm me! He's a vile and shameless villain! ”

With a backer, Zhu Wen scolded Wu Zhi in front of him with an arrogant face, Wu Zhi was thinking about countermeasures and had no time to deal with him, although Cheng Yuan and Ma Huaili were not used to seeing Wu Zhi, they obviously didn't have a good impression of Zhu Wen's kind of goods, just glanced at him.

"Wu Zhi, you have received the paperwork, we will take that person away!"

Cheng Yuan, Ma Huaili coldly informed Wu Zhi, and Zhu Wen was locked, and some officers and soldiers of Dali Temple of the Criminal Department began to search for the rest of the criminals.

"Wait!"

As soon as the officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department started, they were drunk by Wu Zhi.

"People can't give it to you!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan and Ma Huaili were stunned for a moment, and then Ma Huaili sneered: "Wu Zhi, do you want to disobey?" This is the Prime Minister's order, do you dare to disobey? ”

"It's because it's just the Prime Minister's order that Wu Zhi can't release people!" Wu Zhi said coldly.

"Wu Zhi, you are presumptuous!" Cheng Yuan said angrily: "There is no prime minister, do you want to be an official anymore!" ”

Wu Zhi also sneered and said, "In the eyes of this official, there is not only the prime minister, but also Your Majesty!" The case of the Sun family was examined by His Majesty with full authority, and now without His Majesty's will, how can I transfer the case to others! ”

"You're a strong word! You don't know that the decree of the province of Zhongshu is more ...... than the decree."

The last word "effective" Cheng Yuan still couldn't help but didn't say it, the decree issued by the Zhongshu Province in the Song Dynasty was indeed more effective than the holy decree, because the Zhongshu Province held the right to refute, that is, the Zhongshu Province thought that the emperor's holy decree was wrong, and could refute the emperor's holy decree, and the holy decree was only effective if it was issued through the Zhongshu Province.

But the decree is more effective than the emperor's words, this is only an unspoken rule in the imperial court, in this era of imperial power respect, no one dares to openly say that the emperor's speech is not as good as Zhongshu Province.

Wu Zhi is also a forced excuse, for the sake of today, it can only be like this, Zhu Wen and the others must not be handed over to the Criminal Department, otherwise everything will fall short.

"Wu Zhi, don't make senseless struggles! Even if you procrastinate? Tomorrow, Cai Xiang will make a move, don't you have to be obedient? Ma Huaili said coldly.

He was right, with Wu Zhi's current strength, Cai Jing wanted to ask for someone from him, and he was powerless to stop it.

Cai Jing's strength is by no means something that Wu Zhi can compete with.

"Don't worry about this Ama! If Cai Xiang can bring His Majesty's warrant tomorrow, the official will naturally hand over the person, if Cai Xiang does not have His Majesty's will, the official will never let him go! Wu Zhiyi resigned solemnly.

"Good! What a Dragon Pavilion bachelor who doesn't know the height of the sky! Cheng Yuan glared at Wu Zhi angrily, and then said sharply: "Don't wait for tomorrow!" There is no need for Cai Xiang to come forward, this official must get someone today! Come! ”

He shouted violently, and the officers and soldiers of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department behind him immediately pulled out their knives and wanted to rob them.

"Humph!"

Wu Zhi sneered, and Zhang Quan and the others around Kaifeng Mansion also immediately pulled out their knives.

Now in the dungeon, although the number of Kaifeng Mansion is far inferior to that of the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, Wu Zhi asked Zhang Quan to draw his sword to show an attitude, Kaifeng Mansion will never let people go! There are still hundreds of officers and soldiers of the armored patrol battalion outside the dungeon, and Cheng Yuan and Ma Huaili can't take anyone away at all.

"Wu Zhi, you want to rebel!?"

"Ordered my subordinates to draw knives in the dungeon of my Kaifeng Mansion without authorization, I think it was you Lord Cheng who rebelled!"

"You ......"

Cheng Yuan is a civil official after all, and when he saw that Wu Zhi was tougher than him, he was immediately stunned.

"My lord! Two adults! You must take me away! If you stay and Wu Zhi, he will definitely kill me! Zhu Wen saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly the ghost cried wolf.

"Get out!"

Ma Huaili on the side kicked Zhu Wen, then approached Cheng Yuan, approached his ear and muttered a few words.

"Good! Wu Zhi, count you ruthless! Tomorrow I want you to look good! ”

After Cheng Yuan threw a threat to Wu Zhi, he immediately left the dungeon in a hurry.

"!"

After the people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department left, Wu Zhi shook his hand and gave Zhu Wen a slap.

"My lord, do you want to fix this guy?!"

Zhang Quan picked up his sword and looked at Zhu Wen, who was full of horror, and said to Wu Zhi.

"No need, lock it up!"

Wu Zhi waved his hand, and Zhu Wen thought that Wu Zhi was afraid of something, and his expression suddenly became arrogant again.

"My lord, we won't be able to stop them tomorrow, what now?"

Qin Hui and Song Gong all looked heavy.

"Transfer another 1,000 patrol battalions to guard here, you are all here to guard, anyone who comes over, even if Cai Jing comes in person, he must not let anyone go!"

After instructing the two of them, Wu Zhi strode towards the exit.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"Enter the palace!"
