Chapter 37: The Champion Comes Out: Sabre Rattling!

Ning Jiang sneered: "You said that you didn't know about her being possessed, but you also said that Miss Yunmei had gone to the Xuanwei Division to accuse the Young Heavenly Master Zhang Shao, but, according to Miss Yunmei herself, she was arrested last night and performed a spell all night, so how could she have time to go to the Xuanwei Division, and then you would lead the troops?" Or is it that Miss Yunmei's accusation against the Young Heavenly Master was before that? Miss Yunmei ......"

Wu Yunmei said: "Before this, I have never been to the Xuanwei Division to sue anyone, the Young Heavenly Master and I did meet by chance on the night of the Lantern Festival, and then swam the stream together, but he did not insult me. ”

The crowd was angry, if this was the case, it would mean that Grandma Jin and the Six Poisonous Flower Niangs also colluded with the Nanjian Xuanwei Division, and even acted under the orders of the Nanjian Xuanwei Division. Even the faces of the Danxuan, Shuanghe, and Medicinal Mirror sects also changed slightly, and the government actually used such despicable means to interfere with the inheritance of the position of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain?

The Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, and if this is the case, what will happen to the sects whose heritage is not as good as that of Longhu Mountain? The approach of the Propaganda Department is to put all of them at risk.

Qiu Tianling snorted coldly: "Wu Yunmei's testimony is inconsistent, if she fell for the adulterer's evil art, then how do you know if she fell for the magic just now, or is she being controlled by the magic now?" This matter must be carefully investigated, and if it is found that it is really Xiling Miao Wu who is playing ghosts, General Ben will not tolerate it. However, it is a fact that the bandits were found in Longhu Mountain, and on this basis alone, they must be escorted back to the government for detailed interrogation. ”

Pointing to Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao: "Take them away!" ”

Zhang Tugui bowed violently in front of Qiu Tianling: "My lord, Ningjiang has the secret treasure of my Zhengyi Sect and I am unwilling to return it, I am willing to go to the official mansion with him, and the official government will determine the ownership of the true scriptures." ”

Qiu Tianling said: "In this case, please ask Ning Hanlin to come with us on this trip." ”

Immediately, the heroes scolded one after another, and this deputy envoy was completely shameless. People were arrested in the Propaganda and Comfort Division, how can it be tried and judged is not their business?

Qiu Tianling suddenly shouted: "Are you going to resist the royal law?" Take them down! "The official authority dispersed, and more officers and soldiers poured up from the mountain, lined up in battle formation, and went up step by step.

Suddenly, the stronger momentum was like a wave, bursting out quickly, pushing towards them. It's like two waves agitating and colliding with each other, but the one that comes later is stronger. The officers and men were so frightened that they retreated.

Although the land in front of the main hall of Guifeng is large, it is also crowded with people at this moment, and the officers and soldiers in the rear can't hold back their momentum, so they are actually pushed backwards and rolled down the hillside, trampling on each other.

The surging atmosphere behind it, like a tsunami, swept the entire Guifeng, even for these officers and soldiers, it was unprecedented. The heroes are full of momentum and are more and more fearless.

Qiu Tianling shouted: "Ning Jiang, you are also a scholar, don't you know the royal law?" It is reasonable for the bitter lord to sue you for hiding his family's treasures and sending them to the government for re-interrogation according to the law. He sneered: "If you dare to treat Wang Fa as nothing, aren't you afraid that General Ben will arrest you as a rebel party?" ”

Seeing that this Qiu general was so rampant, everyone scolded one after another.

Ning Jiang opened his hand, his tone rolled, and everyone quieted down, and then looked at Qiu Tianling, shook his fan, and said: "Okay, since the general wants to mention the royal law, I will tell you the royal law, dare to ask the general...... How many officials are you? ”

Qiu Tianling said proudly: "General Ben ......" Then he suddenly remembered something, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and he was speechless for a while. Immediately afterwards, his face was embarrassed, and cold sweat overflowed from his forehead.

Ning Jiang continued to shake the fan: "Why didn't General Qiu speak?" What kind of product are you? ”

Qiu Tianling opened his mouth and stammered, as if something was there.

Seeing that he suddenly became embarrassed, the heroes were confused, and they didn't know why Ning Jiang asked him down with a word, but they still looked at him in unison.

Inside, there was a person who said leisurely: "I remember that the deputy envoy of the Nanjian Xuanwei Division should be from the official rank of the fourth grade." ”

It was Nangong Jiayou of the Inspection Department who spoke, the heroes were in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't know much about the systems and rules in the court, and they didn't know what kind of official this General Qiu was, and they didn't understand why he was asked by Ning Hanlin. However, Nangong Jiayou, who is a famous catcher in the White Dao, is immediately clear when he hears it.

The others still didn't understand, and looked at Ning Jiang again, thinking that this General Qiu was from the fourth grade, so what?

But seeing that Ning Jiang's left hand was negative, his right hand was shaking the folding fan, and he said lightly: "I am the fourth product!" ”

looked at Qiu Tianling and said disdainfully: "Don't say that this son didn't break the law, even if I really broke the law...... Do you have the right to arrest me? ”

Only then did Qunxiong come to his senses and burst into laughter: "That's right, Ning Gongzi's official is bigger than you, what kind of majesty are you putting in front of him?" "You are just a fourth-grade official, and Ning Hanlin is a fourth-grade official, one from the other, why are you compared with Ning Hanlin?" "Seeing Zheng Sipin from the fourth product is like a lady seeing a lady in the main hall, why don't you come over and kowtow and pour tea?" ……

In the midst of everyone's ridicule, Qiu Tianling secretly scolded in his heart: "What do you idiots know? ”

But it turns out that the vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes and ordinary people know that the champion is very great and promising, and it is only more than 30 in a hundred years. But although Ning Jiang is the champion, he has no official position now, they think that since he is not an official, he is a cloth cloth like them, a "people", but Qiu Tianling is an official.

But I don't know that in today's Great Zhou Dynasty, "official" and "rank" are separated, although Ning Jiang does not have any official position at this moment, but the moment he becomes the champion, he already has the rank of the fourth grade, unless he is demoted by the edict of the Son of Heaven, otherwise the official rank of the fourth grade is carried for a lifetime.

It's like Zheng An before he became the secretary of the ministry, although he was scattered at home, because he had the title of "Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor", even if he didn't have any official position, it was from the second grade.

The heroes don't know the reason, they don't know much about the imperial court, and they say that "Ning Gongzi's official is bigger than General Qiu", "Seeing Zheng Sipin from the fourth grade is like Mrs. Zhengtang meeting Mrs. Zhengtang", that's all wrong, Ningjiang doesn't even have an official position at this moment, how can it be that "the official is bigger than General Qiu"? However, Ning Jiang, who is obviously not an official, according to his rank, his status is higher than Qiu Tianling, and Qiu Tianling is not convinced.

It is precisely because of this that when Ning Jiang suddenly asked him how many products he had, Qiu Tianling suddenly realized that he had moved out of Wang Fa and smashed his own feet. Just like Ning Jiang said, Mo said that Ning Jiang did not break the law, even if he broke the law...... What can he do?

In the laughter of the crowd, Qiu Tianling was also red-faced for a while. The rank is just the grade, even if Ning Jiang is bigger than him, then he can't control him.

But in the same way, even if Ning Jiang violated the law, according to the laws of the imperial court, he could only sue at most, but could not arrest people directly.

You must know that the system in this area is very strict, even to the point that no matter what the case, once a lawsuit is filed, the two sides will first discuss the "respect and inferiority" of the two parties, and discuss right and wrong.

In the army, there was even a "class law" that stipulated that soldiers had no right to sue their superiors, and that the slightest offense against their superiors would result in death or exile.

The reason why there is such a system of separating official positions from official ranks is, in the final analysis, that those high-ranking officials who formulate the system are thinking about their own future, so that even if those high-ranking officials in the court return to their hometowns or are defeated by political enemies, they are still "official gentry" with a noble status, who have no official position, and their rank is still there, and local officials still have to look at their faces and dare not touch them casually.

It is precisely because of this that at this moment, not to mention that Ning Jiang did not break the law, even if he really rebelled, Qiu Tianling, a Confucian general from the fourth grade, has no right to arrest him, the "people" of the fourth grade. If he dared to do this, those big men in the court would definitely let him die an ugly death.

Just because, this kind of system protects the future of those big men themselves, who dares to guarantee that they will always be able to shine in the court and not be defeated by political enemies for the rest of their lives? Who dares to guarantee that there will be no moment when they will "return to their hometown" in the future? In the court, he is a majestic, rich and prominent high-ranking official, and after he is dismissed and returned to his hometown, a local official can say that he will arrest them, who can stand this kind of thing?

If Qiu Tianling really dared to arrest Ning Jiang, who was a bigger rank than him, he would not only challenge the characters in the rivers and lakes here, but the entire Confucian system...... He really didn't have the guts.

couldn't help but turn around and glared at Zhang Tugui.

Zhang Tugui originally thought that he "sued" Ning Jiang in public, and Lord Qiu brought both sides of the complaint to the Xuan Comfort Division for "trial", which was a matter of course, where did he know that it would be so troublesome, and Ning Jiang, who was not even an official, was bigger than Qiu Tianling, the deputy envoy of Xuan Jiang, who was almost a local tyrant?

Ning Jiang looked at Zhang Tugui and shouted, "Since you want to sue me, we might as well go to the capital and talk to the Son of Heaven together." ”

Zhang Tugui's face changed again.

As long as Ning Jiang is not stupid, it is impossible to go to the Xuanwei Division with him to fight a lawsuit, but if they go to the capital together, what will happen? Even if he is a grandmaster-level master in the rivers and lakes, even if he is a heavenly master of the Zhengyi Sect, he is also a people, and when he arrives in the capital, Ningjiang is an official, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is a joke for the people to sue the official.

What's more, this champion who didn't even do an official for a beloved woman was too sad, and he didn't even take strange books such as the Nine Yin True Scripture to heart, and he wanted to share it with the world, but if he really got it to the capital, how could the court let him mess around like this?

Once this Nine Yin True Scripture is sent to the capital, I am afraid that it will be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return, so it is even better to let this young man publish it to the world, and everyone will have a copy, at least he can see it.

Between Zhang Tugui's hesitation, Qiu Tianling ordered: "Other matters will be said later, Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao harbored bandits, not only colluded with bandits to harm the people in Jianzhou, but also suspected of murdering Zhang Zhen, the seventeenth generation of the Zhengyi Sect, and killing Zhang Haoyi, the son of Heavenly Master Zhang Zhen, the evidence is conclusive." Someone came, and escorted Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao back to the Xuanwei Division. ”

The crowd was in an uproar and scolded despicable.

Qiu Tianling already knew that he had no way to take Ning Jiang away in public, so he first finalized the crimes of Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao, and then took them back to the Xuanwei Division Prison for detention.

However, the group of heroes now knows that Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao are wronged nine times out of ten, you must know that although there are several "witnesses", but the most powerful of them is actually Wu Yunmei, just because of Wu Yunmei's testimony, even the inside of Longhu Mountain can't help but doubt their young heavenly master. Especially the fact that "the young heavenly master already knew that he was about to become the heavenly master at the Lantern Festival" made him suspicious.

But now, everyone already knows that Wu Yunmei is just being used, and the Young Heavenly Master has never done anything to her. The humiliation, I have never said anything like that, this is simply the wrongful framing of the Xuan Wei Division, and the remaining so-called "human witnesses", Li Hongyong is covered with bruises, which is clearly a trick, and the three brothers of the ghost thief are also very problematic.

Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao are clearly innocent, but no matter how innocent they are, once they really enter the Xuanwei Division, where will they have a chance to come out alive?

Even those Taoist priests of the Zhengyi Sect in Longhu Mountain were shocked and angry, just now they were really confused by the series of events that happened, and they didn't have time to think about it, but now the more they think about it, the more problems they have. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to take away their law enforcement real people and young heavenly masters, they subconsciously rushed forward with the group of heroes.

"Are you going to rebel?" Qiu Tianling scolded, and his tone diverged. Officers and soldiers rushed up in unison, armed with spears or bows and arrows. Of course, he didn't dare to make a move on Ning Jiang, who was higher in rank than him, but he didn't have the slightest politeness to these people in the rivers and lakes.

However, people in the rivers and lakes sometimes rely on a temperament that is not afraid of death, and they have seen a lot of fighting, killing and killing, how can they be scared by fear alone?

What's more, the people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to a righteous word, I really thought that the young heavenly master and the real law enforcement person of Longhu Mountain had violated the king's law, and they didn't care about it and didn't bother to care, but now they know that they were framed, and when they saw that the road was uneven, they subconsciously wanted to draw their swords to help, and they actually drew their swords one after another: "If the court is unreasonable, what if it's the opposite?" "You keep talking about the king's law, framing false accusations, and beating them into tricks, this is the fucking bullshit king's law?" "What is the royal law? Those who listen to you are the king's law, and those who don't listen to you are rebellion. "Yes, the seven roads in the southwest are reversed, and we can't do it?" ……

Qiu Tianling was shocked and angry, these people were all masters of the rivers and lakes in Jiangnan and Yueling, in his original plan, most of these people would not appear in Longhu Mountain at all, and now they were attracted by this Nine Yin True Scripture, which was something outside his plan.

If they really dared to rebel, the imperial court would naturally never let them go, but now, when the entire southwest was involved in a riot and the imperial court was in a hurry, the imperial court would certainly not let go of these Jianghu people who dared to rebel, and he, the person who provoked the incident, I am afraid that this official would not have to do it.

But he laid out this series of games, and it was not easy to achieve this point, if he didn't take Zhang Zhichi and Zhang Shao away, the incident would start again, and it would also be impossible to clean it up.

Just in the middle of hesitation, suddenly, the officers and soldiers on the other side separated, and a group of people came in......
